Its a pity our own Medical doctors are now pastors. scamming people of their hard earned money.

Whats your point?

A Christian gynecologist who has dedicated his career to caring for victims of rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been awarded a 2018 Nobel Peace Prize.

https://www-images.christianitytoday.com/images/83739.png?w=800

Denis Mukwege, nicknamed “Dr. Miracle” for his specialized procedures, was a co-recipient for the annual honor alongside Nadia Murad, a Yazidi activist who survived rape and kidnapping by ISIS in Iraq. The Nobel committee said both winners modeled “efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.”

Over the past 20 years, Mukwege has treated tens of thousands of women in Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, many of who had been gang raped by militants in the midst of the country’s conflict, left scarred and stigmatized.

His faith influences his approach to caring for patients holistically, “not only to treat women—their body, [but] also to fight for their own right, to bring them to be autonomous, and, of course, to support them psychologically. And all of this is a process of healing so women can regain their dignity,” he told NPR.

Mukwege is the son of a Pentecostal minister and was inspired to pursue medicine after traveling with his father to pray for the sick. Panzi Hospital, which he founded in 1999, is managed by the Pentecostal Churches in Central Africa (CEPAC).

If Christians do not live out the practical implications of their faith among their communities and neighbors, “we cannot fulfill the mission entrusted to us by Christ,” he said at a keynote for the Lutheran World Federation last year.

Further, the 63-year-old doctor advocates out of a Christian understanding of men and women as equal in dignity before God. He wears a button on his lab coat that says, “Stop Raping Our Greatest Resources, Power to the Women and Girls of the Democratic Republic of Congo.”

“It is up to us, the heirs of Martin Luther, through God’s Word, to exorcise all the macho demons possessing the world so that women who are victims of male barbarity can experience the reign of God in their lives,” Mukwege told the Lutheran assembly.

Christian groups have joined alongside Mukwege’s crusade against sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the DRC, where violence has threatened the population for decades. (As CT reported, 3.9 million were killed and more than 40,000 raped in the decade since fighting began in 1996. It has gone on long past the official end of the civil war in 2003.)

“Dr. Mukwege’s incredible work with survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo inspires me, and many of us,” Rick Santos, president and CEO of the Christian nonprofit IMA World Health, said in a statement on Friday. “We are honored to call him and Panzi Hospital a partner in the effort to eradicate SGBV in a place where it is so pervasive.”

Violent rape has left thousands of Congolese women bearing long-tem physical consequences, including fistula, which leads to incontinence and infection, as well as injuries that complicate childbirth.

Once the only doctor in the province to treat these women, he has become “likely the world’s leading expert on repairing injuries of rape.” The Pentecostal hospital also offers the patients therapy, legal assistance, community resources, and help reintegrating into their community.

Mukwege challenged fellow Christians to consider “the credibility of the gospel in the 21st century, to liberate the grace that we have received by making the church a light that still shines in this world of darkness through our struggles for justice, truth, law, freedom, in short, the dignity of man and woman.”

Christianity Today covered the ongoing DRC violence in a 2006 cover story, Hope in the Heart of Darkness.

The magazine also previously featured 2011 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Leymah Gbowee, a Liberian activist and prayer warrior.

After calling atheism a religion. Get some brain abeg.

Exactly your own brain hypocritically said it wasnt a religion.
But your retardation prevented u from going ahead and forging on.
Outside religion your atheism and its value is useless.

Clown!

I said it was all a ploy to disarm the vigilantes in that area and allow Fulanis overrun the area and I was right ..Yesterday night Riyom was attacked by many killer herdsmens

Honestly
Its now so easy to predict these people

[s]You reasoning deficiency hasn't improved a bit. Both word literally contradict each other but those that change the fact that there are atheist threads on nairaland? Didn't you know that it is the religious section and both words contradicr each other before declaring that you were no longer going to engage atheists anymore? Seems you couldn't stand the withdrawal symptoms from keeping to your words[/s].

Someone who claims to be atheist sleeping and waking up on religious forum.
Yet accusing another person of reasoning deficiency

Its confirmed.
Your own mental impairment has a hypocritic dimension.

nwabekeyi:
you are the only set of people seeing your God too

Hehehe
God is not seen.
Your ignorance is just too loud.

Ain't there atheist thread on NL religious section?
Or are you still dull as before?

You are still blind and fhoolish obviously
Just look at the 2 contradicting bolded words you put side by side.

thanks, still I see the red vase

Nobody argued that with u.
Afterall, You are the only one who sees it

Martinez19:
I thought you said you were going to ignore atheist thread. Looks like you are so addicted to wrestling with NL atheists that you couldn't stand the withdrawal symptoms from staying away as you promised. Anyway, welcome sha don't overdose while you are on it.

And I thought this is NL's religious section?
Or something impaired your vision?

you have no prove that the red vase isn't there.

Even after everything I wrote about inference and generalization u are still parroting the same rubbish about about me saying that I am 100% sure that no man can be born without a woman. You are either dishonest or you are a fool. Everyone knows you are both.[/s]

Hear the insect:

Yet you are one of those who believes that same designer, who is complex enough to design the DNA, is in himself incapable of being created, exists of His own volition and has no creator.

-
Moomoo
I know your brain cant reach that far.
Your brain foolishly assumes that God the creator of time, is within time.
Hence you foolishly think along this line.

How can the maker of a television be within the television?

The olodo doesn't know that someone who created the universe (time, space & matter) has to exist outside time.

NPComplete:
Yet you contradict yourself in the same vein by believing a less complex thing like the DNA must have an intelligent designer. See how foolish you are?

-
Oh no, it doesn't have an intelligent designer
The code wrote and compiled itself.
Just like windows and Facebook
Edioooort!

NPComplete:
Like I said, there is no proof for creation.

-arguments by repetition
What fools do

NPComplete:
We only have faith. If the complexity of the DNA alone is proof for its creation then it means the complexity of God is proof also that God was created.
You don't get to cherry-pick. Refuting one is ultimately refuting the other.

good question. I would go with a religion i am familiar with since i know much about christianity it would naturally be my default fallback. Is this too hard for you to understand? You think i wld choose christianity because it is special? Come on grow up felix

Your Hypocrisy stinks!

NPComplete:
Hahahaha. This guy is an idiot. So have u seen a man that wasn't born before? U have definitive proof that some men are not the result of male and female gametes fusing together? Let's hear it then. We have proof that men are born, most men, because we see them getting birthed everyday.

-
You see why they said you are a fool ?
That u have never seen a man that wasnt born means
He doesn't exist.
Argumentum ad Ignoratum
Fallacy of Ignorance. First degree


Then how did the first man come to be, knowing that there was no woman before him.

Even if u assume evolution, there still has to be a first man that wasnt born from a woman.

DONT U SEE HOW FOOLISH YOU ARE NOW?

NPComplete:
So we can generalise. There is no proof whatsoever that men are created. None.

WRONG
There are numerous
The complexity and organization of mans DNA and genetic coding is far more complex than Microsoft windows, Macos and Facebook put together (billions of times) .
It speaks of an over intelligent design

[s]Faith is different from fact.

Even in my last comment u quoted I still went ahead and stated a caveat But your brain completely missed that. FelixMORON always eager to type but less eager to use his brain

By the way I am a theist too. I am just not a morón. That is your department[/s] .

Rubbish remainders
As usual!

NPComplete:
U just toss the word idiocy and hypocrisy around without any thought like the FelixMORON everyone calls you. What have u said in this your comment now? Nothing. Just pointless fluff and senselessness that u are skilled at. U are aging in steeped foolishness and u still don't realise it.

The proof by inference and induction I alluded to do not apply to the proof of God religious people claim to have. God is a separate ineffable entity that I believe cannot be sufficiently proven within the limits of current human intellect.

Here is the difference between proving an ancestor existed and proving God exists:
All men were given birth to by a woman as a result of semen from another man. We know all men alive today have fathers one way or another. And we know their fathers also have or had fathers and so on. Ergo we can say a certain ancestor a certain number of generations, x, removed existed.
Now it is possible that we are wrong. That maybe one of his ancestors x-n generations removed, where n < x, just fell from the sky and therefore ancestor x does not exist. But this is very very unlikely based on the premise.
This kind of proof was used to accurately predict elements in the atomic table before they were eventually discovered.

Unfortunately the same proof can not be applied to God. Anytime it is tried it just collapses on the absurdity of religious claims and leads to circular reasoning. The basic premise the religious rely on is "All men were created by God" and that in itself is begging the question.

The bolded line shows you assumed that all men were born.
The same way u accuse theist that they assume all things were created.
When its obvious all things were created and designed.

Hence the idiocy and hypocrisy label.

Gggg102:
it is not the same.

visibility is a necessity for the red vase on the table.
it isn't necessary for a god.

except you would also concede that atoms don't exist because we can't see atoms.

The guy is just too ignorant
I presume is a secondary school student

NPComplete:
Jesus. Felixomor.
So after all the battering u have received all these years here, u still are unable to think well.
There is something called proof by inference. Even in mathematics, there is something called proof by induction.

Pls stop the idiocy and hypocrisy
Cant u see that the op himself doesnt know the meaning of "proof by induction"
Hence he was asked the question?
Are u blind?

HardMirror:
you guys just use words you dont even understand. How has he bust me here now? Yes if i have something at stake and admitting i am an atheist wld make me lose it, why not? I wld rather claim to be a christian, this is nigeria many people wld not do business with you or do you favors just cos they know you dont belong in their belief. Just look at the tribalism and religious bigotry even here on nairaland. You think this is abt cheap talk online? I am talking using my sense here in nigeria, you guys are busy talking rubbish. It is easy to manipulate people with their religion and trust me i am smart enough to exploit it. Since an average nigeiran is stvpid cos of religion, why wont i play on this?

Why not muslim?
Our president is a muslim and so are many of the appointees nowadays.

Keep your hypocrisy please.
Yeye dey smell!

ElidaxZiel:
Dont take it personal now, in your post, you said you will never be a christain, i was just amazed you still choose to lie as christain, why not muslim...

Well said
You should know that guy is a hypocrite who has been busted several times.

nwabekeyi:
I guess now I sound stupid cos I asked you prove the red vase isn't there, that's how stupid you guys sound.

God doesn't exist, prove it or keep your opinion to yourself

Religion is steadily fading away, the next generation will be wiser

No dear
Thats not why you sound stupid

You sound stupid because of ignorance
Who even argued with u there was a red vase there or not?
You created a fallacy in religious section
And yet claim religion is fading away.
Thats the irony.

nwabekeyi:
lol, now I'm ingorant cos I asked you prove that a red vase I'm seeing doesn't exist?

I'm still seeing the vase, if you cannot prove its not there then God doesn't exist

Your opinion
Which happens to be microscopic minority

nwabekeyi:
this is distraction from the real issue, prove that the red vase is not there thn i prove that God doesn't exist.

No its not distraction
its ignorance and misquoted source

Besides also u couldn't show proof of what u were asked.

nwabekeyi:
of course, the red vase fell from the sky and appeared boom, same way the earth and God appeared boom in 6days

So God apeared in 6 days?
Abeg which version is that one?
Let me download it

nwabekeyi:
no he doesn't exists, I and my father fell from the sky.

Ah good.
Thats how the beautiful table and furniture you showed the picture there also came out of the sky
BOOOM!
In short, the sky they fell from also fell out from the sky and in turn fell out from the nothing sky....

No carpenter designed nor made them.
And even your so called red vase.

nwabekeyi:
and you think Seun will disclose who did it, so you can make a competing website and its possible Seun doesn't know because he doesn't know who's behind this posts because I'm not using my real identity but a moniker

So if God exist, it also a personal opinion, don't ask anybody to validate his existence for you. If you want people to believe he does, the onus is on you to provide the proof.

The same way the original post is looking disgusting to you is exactly how atheist feel when you tell them to provide proof that what they cannot see and don't belief in doesn't exist

Please
Please can u tell and show us the proof that your great great great great great great great grand father existed?
