Gabry. . . please tell me wher in my post I imposed un u that christainity is the truth. . . I merely told u that there is a truth, and I believe it is christainity, what ever u choose to belive it is is your cup of tea
not that u'll run around proclaiming that everything is the truth.  . what kind of silly logic is that. . .

My point is that there is a truth, and trying to shy away from it by saying that everything, even contradictory religions are all true is just plain ignorant.
Its like me saying that since I do not know the colour of the cloth your wearing right now, then it is both black, white, yellow , green, indigo, violet, red, blue, gray . . . and whatever other colours there are

The one in Red is what I meant. You dont just believe its just Christianity now. Ok now tell me, if you think Christianity is the truth, what do you think about other religions? Are they also the truth like Christianity?

Ok since you wanted to put it that way, lets say you are African and you think the Africans arethe truth. Does that mean the other races and cultures are not the truth and that they are a fraud?  And did I mention that Im shying away from my own religion? If I was embarrass of my own religion, I wouldnt even mention Mother Mary and Jesus Christ and God and worst of all, I would not even mention that I am a Catholic.

bawomolo:
why do you believe in one God? why can't there be many Gods like say ifa, sango, zeus etc?  it seems you are still caged by your catholic upbringing.

To be honest with you, before the priest in my church tells me that we have to believe in One God, I have already believe in that. The reason for believing that there is only one God is because:-

1) if you notice each and every religion, there happen to be white people, black people, brown people, pink people, yellow people and so on. Well, take example the Muslim faith. You can see a yellow worshipping that religion, you can see a black worshipping that religion, you can see a white worshipping that religion. . . I believe that God created all of us all. If each religion have different Gods, I dont think the Gods would create people of different colour to worship His/Her religion.

2) If people believe and understood in only One God, the world would be a better place. Because people think that we all come from One God, they shouldnt be any fights, any comparison, any war, any discrimination. Dont you think so? Imagine if I think that there are different Gods, I wouldnt have this mentality from the start.

bawomolo:
i thought catholics honor mary and do not worship her? oh boy, i'm confused here.

Yeah sure, Catholics honor Mother Mary but not me. The reason is that I have encountered her being by my side when I fell into the pit and thought I was going to die but I survive. When I say the Rosary and shut my eyes, my world was at peace and I could feel an inner strenght and energy inside me. I wasnt scared of anything that time. It was like a powerful positive energy and that time, alot of things happen and I was given the power to fight it. Well, I dont think its appropriate to explain further as this is a public forum and I dont wanna kill u with shock lol  And above it all, she was the Mother of Jesus Christ.

Gabry, I believe xtianity is truth. . . but don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean I'm intolerant to other religions or anything
Let me try to illustrate

2 + 2 = 4

now if someone comes up to me and says he believes that 2 + 2 = 5, I wont jump up and cry out your a retard. . . cuz he probably really doesn't know, all Ill try to do is help him understand that 2 + 2 = 4 and why. . .

I believe u've been searching and have come to your conclusions based on the fact that u cant wrap your head around an answer so U just conclude that 2 + 2 must equal everything and nothing. . .

Please don't give up. . . search, there is truth, there is an answer(personally I believe its Jesus). . . but it still remains that 2 + 2 equals something specific, everything cannot be right. .

Its like when astronomy and cosmology and all that were searching for the orientation of planets and the sun, the fact that they did not all agree, did not mean that the sun and planets had ALL orientations, or No orientation at all, It just meant they head to search a lil more to find the true ORIENTATION. .

This is what I dont like. Just because you were raise as a Chirtian does not give you the right to judge others while claiming your religion is the truth. Most of the religion  is good. Please come to realize that most of the religions does not encourage people to steal, to kill and do bad things.  The way you put it is as if the Christian religion is the only religion which allows the followers to earn a free ticket to heaven and not the others. This is very wrong and I dont think its right of what you have just said. I know somewhere in the Bible God says, "Do Not Judge My People" and "Love Your Neighbours as You Love Yourself". Well, God's people is inclusive of you, me and people from other religion and your neighbours is including me, you and other people from other religion cause you come across different people every single day and that is your neighbour. I beg thee not to self proclaim and judge 

I come to discover that people fail to realize that they tend to judge and mock people whom they dont really know. They tend to mock and judge people whom they dont understand. The tend to mock and judge people whom they heard gossips about from other people.

Example, last week, I attended a seminar concerning towards Employee Motivation and than I sat next to this person called Abdul. Anyways, the whole day I was annoyed with him cause he kept asking for my phone number and I dont like giving people my phone number as I dont do chit chat on phone if its not serious business. Than all of the sudden he ask me what religion I come from. So I answered him, Catholic. And than he pause for awhile and said, Hmmm. . . U should try considering changing your religion because I heard from my aunty that the Catholic Faith drink goats urine during their prayers.     

^^^ I mean imagine! Since when we drink urine? Seriously, people can just come out with some crap and tell other people and that other people can just believe in it. Its kinda hillarious though. . . . . 

davidylan:
the idea that Gabry's serious spiritual confusion is an example of having a "tolerant nature" is absurd. So what if i kept going from girl to girl with no purpose . . . would you also hail me as having a "tolerant nature" towards women and intimacy?

jagunlabi:
David, quit being an idiot. Being tolerant has nothing to do with being sexually loose or amorous, atleast not in this thread.

Are u guys talking about having S*xx with multiple people or what? 

benodic:
@gabry
thank God for you. it is people like you that i have been looking for in NL. i was nearly giving up. it is people like you i want to be friends with and associate with. people with open minds and tolerant hearts. please keep up with what you are doing and keep on giving everyone love irrespective of their religion or colour.

I thank God say at least some people understood me. Thank u naaa. U are a blessing

nice sitting at the cross road gabry but in Hinduism you worship other gods and godesses like fertility etc so how do you reconcile that with Yahweh and Allah who permit you to have no other god but them?Yahweh is a jealous God.then you are definitely wasting your time with christiaity and islam.

i take it you believe all roads lead to God and at the same time that you have no strong conviction for following any religion. you only practice religion because you feel it is fun and while i wont criticize you i hope that you find the right way to God for i fear that you may be wasting your time.

Ok, I have just spoken to someone whom told me about this a few weeks ago. Well, you misunderstood the Hindu and Buddhist religion. You see, the Hindus and Buddhist does not have multiple God's although they call them Gods. They have one God above all. Its in their scriptures. And when you see all those elephant God and Guan Yin and Buddha and Happy God and Monkey God and so on, they are not really God's. They are called Prophets.

Just like Christianity and Muslim, they have one God above all but the rest are followers / prophets. The reason why you hear that the Hindu's and Buddhist call them  God its because of the language itself. My hindu friend and Buddhist friend explained to me that when they call all of those prophets in their language, it means God/Prophet but they are actually called Prophet.

If you dig deeper into research, you will come to realize that each of their prophet / God has a specific job task. Example, the Land God of Buddism. The Land God is a compulsory to be put below the altar of every family whom is a Buddhist and have one or more of their family pass away. This God protects the Land and the soil and nothing else. So who takes care of every other thing like the trees and people's well being and the children and all. . . There are many other Gods/Prophets/followers to do so but above all of them, there is one God the Great Almighty. That is why you see the Hindu's and Buddhist have many Gods.

Gabry
1.you are not a christian because jesus said no one comes to the father except by him so you would not try other ways if you followed his teaching.

2.what actually is your religious belief for to me you seem to have none[for instance christians believe that jesus came to die for their sins]

3.Do you worship God or do you find religion as a play thing to laugh and enjoy while it goes on?

1. Yes and the Father alone created all of us humans whether if we are black, white, blind, born with 2 heads and etc. . . U see, one thing I disagree about my church is that they kick out those whom are gay and lesbian. The people said God created Adam and Eve and not Adam and Azo but did God ever created a blind man or a man with lepracy? Its surprising that when people know a guy whom happen to be a murderer or a raper, they would say come my child to the house of God and ask for his forgiveness but when a Gay man enteres the church, everyone will not sit beside him and everyone will mock the hell out of him. Funny really. . . 

2. I am a Catholic by birth and I take all their teachings with respect but certain things are not acceptable to me like the example I gave you in No. 1which is the cause of human's obviously and not the Religion. Doesnt mean that Im confuse about who Im worshipping or who I pray for. . Like I said, theres only One God so learn the good things and leave the bad things and improve yourself. Why all the fuss      Its all the matter of acceptance of others just like how people accept other cultures and races. Imagine if we dont start accepting, guess there will be another World War. 

3. I worship God but seems to me that you are vexing over God knows what.  Why fuss over someone whom could accept all kinds of religion? Is it that bad?   

karo93:
you should know better than to worship mary just as much as i wont worship elijah though he performed extraordinary miracles and never died.he could be my role model too.

You have just proven my point of what I said earlier that  "people fail to realize that they tend to judge and mock people whom they dont really know. They tend to mock and judge people whom they dont understand. The tend to mock and judge people whom they heard gossips about from other people."

Have you ever even thought that I have my reasons for worshipping Jesus Christ's mother? U know, to the Catholic faith, its not wrong to look up to Mother Mary. But yeah, have you ever thought of why do I act as such?

They are reasons to why some people became a Gold Digger and they are reasons to why people take drugs or why people end up Bulimic. . . Like I say Dont Judge and now you are judging.

mykali:
i'm ashamed of myself . . .

awwwww. . . . . . . seeing you both here really reminds me of the good old days 

Hey dearie, did you painted that?

And nope, we have not move because we didnt have enough money just yet.

Na waaa ooo!

bawomolo:
so you practice catholic to please people (bf and family) and not because you belief in the catholic faith?
that isn't so enlightening.  no diss but i think you are either confused or trying hard not to upset people.

you can't please everyone.

Nahhh. Wrong. The reason why I am staying to the catholic faith its because Im a very very strong worshipper of Mother Mary. Without her, life is maningless to me. without her, Jesus wont be born on earth. Without her, there is nothing else to look up to in a woman as a role model.

And the reason why I accept other religion as the way it is its because of my surroundings. The people I befriend and mix with. Not to say because I follow them to the temple or Mosque or anywhere and follow what they do that Im worshipping their religion or following their religion. Just that I dont see anything wrong with it provided it does not cause any harm to other individuals.

Thats why I say not many people can accept me for the way I am.

My bf doesnt really like it as well but he has to tolerate crtain things and I have to tolerate certain things for his sake. Its a matter of give and take.

jagunlabi:
Or maybe she just has a very tolerant nature towards all these worldly beliefs.Or maybe she does not take all these different beliefs too seriously like other folks do. Or maybe she has come to realise that it is not what religious beliefs one has that count, but what and how one is being every moment of one's life. Maybe she has come to realise that it is behaviour, who and what one is, that counts and not in which religion or sect or cult one belongs. Maybe. . .

OMG! ive never met anyone whom could explain it far way better than what Ive been trying to explain to people whom mocked me. You are very right. All of what you have stated is exactly what is on my mind. And to me, I always believe that theres one God and one Satan. And hat one God is the one that created all of us. having different religions and beliefs is a blessing in disguise the same thing as having different people with different colour skin and different races and backgrounds is a blessing in disguise. The world will come to peace and harmony when everyone single people on this earth actually could accept one another.

^^^ Why the sad face?

Huh? Wetin happen??

LMAO!!! SHIT! I can't believe I posted this thread years ago!!!

Based on your post, I know you marry your wife because she is slim and sexy not because you love her. So even if she loose weight for u now and you both grow old, I bet you will be complaining about her wrinkles and her sagging body.

LMAO at Topic and its replies. I am dying with laughta hia!

My father is a born Catholic and my mother is a Buddhist. When I was born, my mother converted into Catholic and brought me to church and send me to Sunday School every weekend.

I have a group of really best friends while I was growing up. Melanie is an Anglican, Tan is a Buddhist, Pratha is Hindu, Bibi is Muslim and Tracy is an Atheist. We got along fine despite our difference in religion. I remember those days where I use to follow them to church, to the temples, to the Mosque and so forth.

And than suddenly my sister introduces me to Paganism. I didnt really converted myself but I was just curious to find out what was the realigion about. Than I come to discover my grandmother is also into Paganism so it thrilled me more to follow it but I still go to church and mosque and temple and so on. lol I did whatever they do, Blessing, Cursing. My sister than school in the UK and she always sends me ingredients for Paganism like Devils EYe and Cats WHiskers and stuff like that. It was funny though. . .

Than after that I met this boy Paul in my school and he is a Satan Worshipper. I ask him what was it about and he took me to his Worhsip spot. I find it amazing on how different people have different beliefs and it seriously amazes me. They always say Satan is bad and all but this guy doesnt show any signs of it . . . Infact, he was very normal compare to some other people

Than I realize that it all comes down to different individuals and the way they were nurture and raise in their own family.

Now that Im older, I engage myself in the Catholic faith alot becasue its what I grew up with and its what my parents taught me about from young and alsp because my bf is a Strong Catholic. But I still go and visit the temple to pay respect to my late grandfather and also to pay respect to my best friend's late father. I go to the Mosque because my step sisters are Muslims. But the problem is people tend to mock me and they tend to misunderstood me many times. They think that Im insane and a little off in the head. The thing with me is that I dont have any sides to these klnda things.

Are u able to accept me?

LMAO at 'I AM SATAN' and 'NO, GO AWAY WITH YOUR SATAN'     

what is aptitude test?

Super Mods and Mods can recommend to Seun. Seun will decide whther or not he wants the persin to be Mod but there will be interviews and test

I diagree with that name. but I propose you change your name to



AUNTY J

arkinses:
My first act as mod would be indiscriminate banning, delete and lock threads anyhow, change ID's to more ridiculous names according to my taste, more banning, infact ban seun join, uncensor sexuality section, no more of that political balderdash on front page - na forum games and romance go full there

U are free to do so if you want the forum to be removd permanently from Google and maybe from Yahoo as well.

Ogaga4Luv:
[size=13pt]awwwwwwww i feel you friend. . . . hater's must surely arise to provoke the mind but too glad to read such an interesting comment . . .you see , my objectives are to enlighten people to the truth and expose all of the lies these recent so-called "religions" have created regarding Satan, Satanism, and Satanists. [/size]

Well, I believe veryone has their own beliefs and everone understands different things in life. Its all fine just as long as each individual dont judge and provoke one another. There is a reason why there ae humans being place on earth with differen beliefs.

So how is everything? How's work and your gf and your family?

Oga, I know what you mean when you talk about Saan. Been there and I know exactly what you man but I dont want to talk further cause I also have Haters here. Now Im a Catholic but I take no religious sides and I dont judge people cause my Father told me not to judge His people. My mother is a Buddhist and I have many family members whom are Muslims, Hindu's, Paganism, Atheist and so on. I get along fine with all of them cause religion, race, shape and size does not come into my brain when communicating with people.


Mama Gee, speaking about The Amaka, yeah, I havent heard from her in a long time. No yarn her oo. Most of the time, she is speaking the truth and the truth is always cold and bitter but that is what I admire her for. Looking at the bright side, she actually makes this forum lively due to the open debates and positive arguments. Thumbs up to her. Will be good to see her once again on this forum some time.

Ogaga4Luv:

Im cute? Thank you naa. I get that alot. Especially when some people call me Baby and they would pinch my cheeks or some would purposely make me angry to see that face of mine and they would like say Awwwww. . . So cute!

Tru Mantra:
Why oh why do you have to be all the way on the East coast? Heck, maybe we can have the west coast folk have a special "mole" screening session for our own Naija reunion. Just so you know, I'm the official mole screener .  .  . the only one!

One Nigerian, two Nigerian, three Nigerian, four
With Abekeade, Plat and Gabry, why would a brother want more?

Dont mind that dude that cant tell the difference between a pimple and a well positioned mole. We love you just the way you are Plat.

But Im not Nigerian ooo

Well, its fine by me as long as it has a good purpose and intention. Anyone whom I smell of a rat smell here will face my gun.

I will shoot you down till you aint livin no more and than I will smoke you out of this forum for real for real!
