What makes you think the Bible is the only source of information? Life and knowledge didn't stop after the Bible was written but that doesn't mean there aren't life lessons in it.

Whatever life lesson the bible holds at this point has been defeated.
Faulty foundation and dead on arrival. A tool of mind manipulation and one used to enslave your ancestors and still holding their generations as slaves does not worth any recognition.
I celebrate those who tear the pages of their bibles to smoke weed because it is not more useful than that

You can learn how to live your life. Why do people act as though life didn't continue after the Bible was written? There are many things you can learn aside from the Bible, there are also many Books that aren't included in the Bible that you read.

Life and knowledge didn't stop after the Bible was composed.

Live my life, so your ancestors did not know how to live their lives?

My ancestors knew farming for example, they knew when to sow and harvest. They had their culture and taught morals. They had 'alo' to teach lessons and virtues. African stories of tortoise and all to teach about contentment, love and oneness.

So what exactly do we need bible for? A bible that tells of how a god was one sided to favour a tribe to commit genocide. Or the one that said slaves should respect their masters?

In same vein, every nation/tribe had their GOD (their creator, their source, their origin). These Gods were created in their images and spoke their language. Allah doesn't speak French, Yahweh doesn't speak Ijaw. Yawheh and Allah referred to the local Gods of a particular tribe.

Unlike the Yoruba,Igbo, Indian gods, the Abrahamic GODS(Allah and Yahweh) considered all other Gods evil. From David to Mohammed, these men conquered lands and people, destroying everything in their wake. You don't need to read the Old Testament, read your news. The evidence is still there in the Middle East.

Lucifer's demons have nothing whatsoever to do with the African gods. Lucifer is Yahweh is Lucifer.

What good thing did the African gods give us? Look at your delicacy and your local language. Maybe, your ancestors weren't so savage afterall. Your language is proof they could communicate. Your local delicacy is proof they were good farmers, and knew how to use basic cooking utensil. Did the white man teach us how to cook oha and periwinkle? Did they teach us to say "Bia" and "Ndo"? What about your traditional wears? Proof that there were tailors and we manufactured textiles too. We weren't naked and hopeless. Harmattan for don show us shege..

How about local medicines? The medicinal benefits of the kolanut? Our leaves and that nasty worm that grows on trees? Maybe we didn't have western medicine. But we had local healers who treated illnesses and sicknesses. If we didn't, we would all have been dead before they arrived our shores. ..

Unfortunately, how you think is who you are. When they left pur lands, they left behind their minds, their history, their perception of us. They left their minds in our education system. And we never changed it. They left their Bible in our palms, while we gave our lives to Chris and swore by Allah. We took to calling their lands holy lands, travelling to Jerusalem and Mecca to see I remember as a kid rejecting the notion of having to eba with fork and spoon. Most of us have probably experienced that too. Yet, we believe a Jew who was killed over 2000 years ago by his kinsmen, was right about our gods, our history, our future.

China has the story about the great flood,

So every flood recorded by any civilisation automatically translates to Noah's flood?

And was china wiped out during the flood?

Perhaps the flood that happend in my village 20 years ago was the Noah's flood

Please I'm not understanding you oo.

HardMirror:
it is easy to see you dont read. Do you know T RR Tolkien invented a language for the lord of the rings story? It just shows how intelligent Otem is. His stories are not revelations but stories

Do you know the years of planning and review for lord of the rings with great minds coming together to meticulously plan and make the story lines.

Here, we have our own very otem, with his own story, one man mopol.

A001:
Lols. And he also cooked up the Seriot language, which looks like a natural language, with these supposedly cooked up tales? Lols. Don't tell me you actually believe so.

Even studying that language alone (without researching some of the deep histories and writings he compiled) is enough to make one realize this life has tons of mysteries science can't explain yet.

That's why I said the otem is a living testimony of himself. It is two ways, if you say it is all lies, then you just have to respect the mind that brought those writings together because that mind deserves an oscar and a Nobel prize for literature

HardMirror:
oh! So you browsed them and realized they names existed. So what makes you think otem does not read extensively? Then use his knowledge to write his stories.

That's why I said, either believable or not, theres something unique about it and not mere imaginations.

I read the whole thread, though an interesting read, still it followed a sequence. I admire the brain that brought the writing. It is not what a lowly mind can put together. 1000 times better than religious books.
So the choice to believe it as being true or not lies on the individual

HardMirror:
lol. Funny how the rubbish item writes is what some are celebrating. Item just cooks up stories and let's his imagination run wild

Theres something about otems write up. It beats mere imaginations.
Whether believable or not, theres something about it. I've taken my time to read the write up over the years and I'm awed because it takes more than just imaginations to put that together.
Otem has histories of cultures, names, people and places that you dont even know exists until I browed them.

khiaa:
Christianity supposedly came out of the Catholic church which is one of the most corrupt creation there ever was. They are the ones who turned the scriptures into a religious cult. The Bible is a learning tool not something to be worshipped, which Christianity/Catholicism does.

Can I learn how to code from the bible?

Can I learn physics, geography or history from the bible? Capital no

What exactly are we supposed to learn from the bible

Goldentulip2:
True

Thank you bro

Happy new year everyone.

Money is sweet and all the daily struggles of life from going to school to learning a skill or taking a professional course or learning a trade is all to one goal; to make money and plenty of it. However in the cause of searching for this golden treasure, we often forget some things that taste better than money.

1. Good health:

The day you lose your health is the day you will realise that being in good health is the most important thing in life. There are wealthy people in poor state of health that wish they could trade their entire riches for a good health. If you can sleep and wake up without pills, eat and excrete, breath in and exhale, walk, run and jump. Having your internal and external organs functioning perfectly. You don't know the treasure you have

2. Family

When you wake, you have your loved ones no matter where they are in good condition, you have your parents in good state, it could be your spouse, your children or siblings. You have a people to lean on when in trouble and laugh together in victory. If you have these, you dont know how many people envy you quietly. Don't wait till you lose it before you realise

3. Peace of mind

Mental health, being emotionally and psychologically sound. Nothing beats these things. You aren't suffering any police case, you aren't a suspect of robbery, murder or fraud. Nobody is chasing your life. You are not running from bitter enemies. You not being set up. Not a victim of circumstances and disasters. Those suffering these abandon their dreams of chasing money to running to and fro the earth looking for peace.

Once again, I wish you a successful 2022, live the life and enjoy every moment.
And for those who might be suffering any of he above, I wish you a better year 2022, good health, peace of mind and a happy family plus more money.

Like the curious case of Benjamin button, each year will come and go, enjoy the moment, live a life you are proud of and if at any moment you aren't happy with the choices you made, I hope you have the strength to start all over again and stay happy.

HardMirror:
it is not a waste of time. Seun was one of those that helped me to finally become an atheist. I had many questions as a christian I was seeing the lies but I was very afraid. Nairaland helped me to drop the lies of religion. My posts can help someone, it is not a waste of time. I wont stop posting and exposing these lies

I had these questions tormenting my mind.
If I havent opened nairaland 5 years ago, I may still be paying tithe praying to a dead jew and being a mental slave to religion.
Seun brought me freedom, though I would have eventually dumped that crap called religion but it might have taken longer

Righteousness2:
Young man, Hear this Clearly !

Whatever you have Discovered that will make you throw your Bible is a Sure Banker to throw you into Hell Fire, where the worm dieth not and the Fire is not Quenched!

Find wisely!

Will you just address the issue.


Hardmirror, you forgot something
A flood happend like 5k years ago, so all the races of the world came from Noah.
Among Noah's children, which of them was indian, Chinese, black, fulani, Kenyan, white??

HardMirror:
Do you know we can accurately calculate when the great flood in the bible supposedly happened?

The lifespans in Genesis 11 span from Abram back to the Flood. When we add the years listed in Genesis 11 to Abram’s birth year 2166 B.C., we get about 2472 B.C. for the Flood year. Add the 1,656 years from Genesis 5 to that and we get nearly 4128 B.C.

So the flood happened around 2472 B.C.
https://www.icr.org/article/when-did-noahs-flood-happen


So what is the problem?

The problem is, this was the same period Egypt started to flourish and develop rapidly.

This was the same time the great pyramids of Egypt where built.
The Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notated Dynasty IV) is characterized as a "golden age" of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Dynasty IV lasted from c. 2613 to 2494 BC.[1] It was a time of peace and prosperity as well as one during which trade with other countries is documented.


In fact king Khufu who built the largest pyramids became pharaoh of egypt just 200 years after the great flood that was supposed to wipe out every human on earth and only Noah and 7 members of his family are supposed to be the only ones left.

So how come King Khufu had a Nation of people who could build the largest pyramids in just 200 years from just 8 people that survived the flood?

Dont forget that King Khufu also had a predecessor? How come?

We have proof and a list of all the Pharoahs of Egypt even all through the period that this flood should have happened.

From the 4th dynasty to the 6th dynasty

From 2600bc to 2100bc

So when did this flood happen? And how come there are records of nations always existing all through this period that the whole world should have been wiped out?

This is proof the bible is nothing but blatant lies if only we would ask questions.

There are intelligent people still believing the bible, the only reason is because they havent taken time to review the bible properly.

A gentle review of the bible will make an intelligent being know that it is the biggest bullshit of all time full of crap, myths, exaggerations and flaws. Children story books are better

All pastors are scammers.

All!!

GreyLaw:
So the elderly cleric is "ewu?" I hope you know that word means goat? So you effectively called the elderly man who as achieved a lot in life both in academics and spirituality, a goat?

I am not a member of his church. However, such ease with which you called the man a goat is worrisome.

When an old man behaves like one, you should call him one.
You comfortably curse your old politicians maybe the likes of Tinubu, obasanjo or buhari... so why can't you curse an old fool talking out of sense

Some people take this old fool serious

GoldHorse:
True!

That is why the Germans, Chinese and co excel in these subjects.

All Germans understand german, same with chinese

So which of the Nigerian languages do we teach mathematics... do Nigerians speak Nigerian.

Perhaps u should state how his would work out before u start suggesting mission impossible ideas.

Make una dey reason

What kind of counterproductive suggestion is that, so in how any languages do we break it to before we even talk of start teaching

jimtemi1:
u can't say is base less, I know how I have lived my life for the past 40yrs, So if I am talking I know what am talking about because it affects me directly, what ought to change dosent change for the past 33yrs... So u can't call that base less

Your English is horrible by the way

namo77:
What gives you the right and power or authority to judge another man's life choices and beliefs.... Who are you? Or rather What do you think you are?

The guy came here to do free marketing for his church and I shouldn't ask? Bunch of scammers

jimtemi1:
Every man with his faith... But to me, have experience changes for the 7yrs have been attending CAC baba adio ilorin kwarastate

How did u measure success..
And how do you prove that your attendance at the church was responsible for your growth.
These are baseless claims

BeeBeeOoh:


A minute silence for Mr. Erastus Madzomba who died in active service.

He died a hero

Myer:
Please it serves a lot.
And I have 3 points.

1. Yes there are those that can get to a place of repentance from their home.
But there are those that need the atmosphere the church provides and the testimony of others to get to that place of repentance.

The last day of the year is significant for every human being.

You might not attend service throughout the year but some how the last day of the year makes you want to have some form of new year resolution or change of heart and the cross over can provide the right atmosphere for that.

2. Cross-over service had become a religious activity for already converted believers. So it is simply fullfiness of righteousness.

-Your parents expect you to go for cross over service.
-Your friends are all going so you dont want to be the odd one out so you also attend.
-Youre a worker in the church so you're actually expected to be there. Whether or not you want to be.

3. Cross over prayers.
While many are of the opinion that every day is the same. I believe astronomers, astrologers, agriculturists, and those who pay attention to times and seasons j understand that no 2 days are alike.
In fact zodiac signs are a proof that your birthday goes a long way to determine your personality as different from others.
Also the very fact that we have different significant seasons of rainfall,harmattan,dry season,etc shows that different days have different significance.
So clearly those who developed the calendar, having put the different seasons into considerations determined that the new year is significant.

Hence for those who determine to pray into the new year, it is a well acceptable and good religious ritual, psychological and therapeutic exercise.

That said, no matter the category you find yourself whether you recognise the cross over or not, just understand that days have different significance and the praying into the new year is not a bad idea.
Some times the prayers are answered, some times they are not. Supposedly also determined by God's pre determination for everyone

Crap

Go get serious with your life.

Meaningless

They will always be remembered for their sacrifices

Enjoy ur catch

Aliens will mess with the religious folks, it will fukc their head so bad many of them will end in rehab.. how do u explain to them he whole bible/koran stories are all craps.

Men you need to hussle and if possible avoid marriage. The worst thing that can ever happen to a man is going broke.

Please I am not trying to poison anybody's heart. It is good to fall in love and marry the right partner. I tell you most solemnly, until things get bad, you will never know the real attitude of your partner.

I remember when I lost my job and things became so bad that I planned to kill my self on a certain day, what stopped me from committing suicide was I fell into a deep sleep that I didn't wake up till the next day at around 8am. On waking up i relaized that God did something to me that i couldn't explain till today and the thought of suicide vanished.

Back to my topic, there was a day during my times of trial and hardship that my wife told me she wanted to go and visit her male friend in his house, I stopped her by saying why will a married woman do that and you even have the guts to tell me. It ended in a fight, anytime we have any slight quarrel, she will pack her things and leave to her mum's place and the family always support her actions without knowing from me what happened.

There was a time when our child was just barely few months old, i left the house for an interview, i trecked about 3km to the venue, she left him at home and went to only God knows where, only for her to call me that she has left the house and my son for me, that i should get home before he wakes up from sleep, i couldn't wait for the interview to get to my turn, i begged a random person on the road and he gave me #1,000 that was after i begged more than ten different people with other refusing to answer me not to talk of helping. I ran home and thank God i met him just waking up. I took him back to the interview and a kind lady helped me with him until it got to my turn and i finished and went back home.

In the night at about 7pm while i was preparing to bath him, she entered the house and carried him to bath him, i didn't utter a word and i forgave her.

Guys, you need to see how thin i became during those trials, no single food to eat. I became a shadow of myself, i became so shy of walking in public because of how frustrated i became. I have many experiences but i rest my case here.

The sad reality right now is that we are still married, while the good is that things have improved 10times better than it has ever been but i've placed her where she belongs. The only thing stopping me from divorce is what people will say and my image. Do you know that honestly she hasn't learnt her lessons as she is still a problem to me, always nagging and i don't have peace in my own house.

Right now i'm on the process of divorce and i'm building resistance to whatever people will say.

You will continue to struggle until u cut off that negative energy in your life. Wtf, pity your old age because that woman will destroy u

This woman suffering bipolar disorder shouldn't be taken serious
