So what exactly is the job description of this your God? Make some people beggers and others givers?

@UncleSnr
The Jewish customs of touch not, wear not, eat not, which the Pharisees held on to so tenaciously, ignoringly matters like love, forgiveness,mercy peace etc. What the Jews held on to were Customs, and those weren't Jesus' concerns.
Did you ask if Jesus abolish those Customs? He walked away from them, that was why spies were constantly sent to listen and see what he will do and say,so that they can accuse him of not keeping the jewish law. One of the reasons they found him quilty.
Now which law exactly were u asking if christ abolished?
My point here is, what we christians abide by are not the jewish customs and ideologies, we adhere to the teachings of christ. We are doing a poor job of it, but that's what we stand for and by.

@hahn.
We are not taking up the culture and beliifs of the colonial masters. Tell urself the truth. Jesus wasn't a european, neither was he American. Jesus was a Jew, and he(Jesus) did not teach his followers the Jewish Culture. Jesus called it Traditions of men, and he condemned such practices.

These same "traditions of men" were also claimed in the bible to be god's words

The Europeans and Americans also heard this gospel once, received it, and brought it to us, as it was once taken to them. So let's stop this colonial master's religion thing.

There is really no way we can separate Christianity from our colonial masters because it was used as a tool to first enslave the African people and then later used to assert the dominion over us. We were taught that our beliefs were wrong and forced to subscribe to their beliefs. We were basically brainwashed to the extent we no longer appreciate our history and ourselves. Just like on Christian told me on another thread, "In Heaven we will have 'new flesh'. Wonders to behold!!" when confronted with the possibility that Jesus might be black. He basically chose the white skin over his. The ripple effects of foreign religion on us as African will need a whole new thread to discuss.

When you guys go on and on with this attacks on Jesus, sometimes, I pause to really check what is so wrong about this Jesus and his teachings that makes people hate him.

We don't attack Jesus and some atheists don't even believe he ever existed and that if he did his attributes were greatly exaggerated. We attack all religious beliefs and the belief in a supreme deity because there seems to be about 4,000 of them.

Is it the peace, love, forgiveness, patience, tolerance, goodness, giving to others that he preaches that makes him bad?

Before Christ, people already knew these things. Christianity is very young fam.

[size=18pt]Isnt it funny that the things we see are made by the ones we dont see ?

Exactly. It is very funny that you would ascribe visible creation to an invincible being.

The sun u believe exists was made by something you dont see.

Well, at this point, this is only your belief. You don't have proof of your claim

How else do you want GOD to appear to you besides the things he created ?

By simply appearing. DUH

Do you want GOD to appear to you as a stone so that you will say he is a stone that he created?

He might as well appear in whatever form he wishes. The point is he should appear

What about the wind? Does it exist? Do you see it ?

The wind is powerful enough to be felt and it's effects can be seen as opposed to god who does nothing else than remain hidden.

The wife property.Dont the man has right to protect also?

dalaman:
But that wasn't what you wrote. You claimed something but when you have been challenged you decided to change you position and tone. You just lied against the atheist simple. My challenge for you remains, quote any atheist that has ever written anything that comes close to what you wrote about atheist becoming atheist because they don't want to be accountable or because they are frustrated in life. If you want to make your point just go ahead and make your point, there is no need lying against others.

OP, do you say "thank you" to her as well, for little things such as bringing you dinner?

See, I'm going to ask you a question: have you ever made comments, maybe during a fight or absent-mindedly, to the effects that "without you or what ypu provide, she's nothing? " A lot of times, women are told to love a man, adore him, pet him like a child and all sorts and he will treat them well. Which is kind of bad advice as it makes it seem like women need marriage and they have to spend the rest of their lives placating the man for "stooping so low as to marry her". So since you've spoken to her about this issue several times and she's still ignoring, perhaps, we should assume this is what goes through her mind:

"oh he wants to be constantly say "thank you" like his slave, yes he's taking care of me but when I take care of him, he doesn't notice, he treats it as if it is his right like he did me a favour in marrying him so I should spend the rest of my life pleasing him whilst whatever he does, anything involving me, he's expecting me to acknowledge it like a king stepped down from heaven to help a servant. Well guess who's not falling for that!! "

She's silently fighting you the fight has already begun since, you just didn't realise it (most men never do until the screaming part, which is the end of the fight, comes around )

I suspect this is the case because of how you described her behaviour in the Job matter. She was proud of her own input but deliberately refuses to acknowledge your own input. It's galling to be a woman in Nigerian society where you are treated as a second-class citizen (people of recent keep asking me to thank my husband for helping to take care of his own child, yet no-one is asking him to thank me for taking care of him. And he brings it up, I will keep quiet but start acting like your wife).

It's the same with parents and kids, yes you are sacrificing for them but do not constantly bring it up and throw it in their face, it rankles.

Start by saying "thank you" to her for little things: say "oh thanks for doing the dishes", "hey thanks for lunch", "oh did you already give Junior his bath and get him ready for school, thanks o". Teach her by example (you be the man no, Natural Born Leader abi ). She will follow your example.

Acknowledge her efforts in the little things (by your own admission she's a good wife) and she will acknowledge your efforts in the big things.

She's a good wife and she loves you and you love her but I suspect you subtly make yourself seem like a benevolent dictator and she dislikes it but dare not complain (lest the society starts to harangue her with "be grateful or he will leave you o! " so she's fighting you in her own little way. Just you start appreciating her little efforts, she'll join you.

What would you do if you were in that plane?

Remilekun101:
That is not an insult.. I am just saying it the way you sound... It is an open question which anyone can answer, why push it to him.. so i repeat my question "How many UFOs have you physically seen and how many stars have you physically seen? That would determine my next question"

Remilekun101:
Evidence of UFO and not a Star?... dude don't tell me you are this dumb.. How many UFOs have you physically seen and how many stars have you physically seen? That would determine my next question

Sanchez01:
Nigerian policemen Imagine residents conducting an unauthorised, incomplete and inconclusive forensic research in place of the NPF. Since they believe the analysis of the so-called anonymous residents, would it not then be right to believe that it was the work of HOODLUMS Or is the 'detained' lover a hoodlum?

Honestly, the security aspect of Nigeria is worse than India's. I pray they find the killers quickly though.

RIP to the dead.

Remilekun101:
The problems of Nigeria are man-made and not Almighty Made and The Almighty father has given unto us the needed materials to live aright without bordering him with our physical or material needs.. the same brain you scorners use in trying to pull everything down if used in judiciously can bring about solutions to the problems of this nation..

Krystalzkris:
no,they are not forgiven and will go to hell.. But ,their murderers will be forgiven if they repent and ask God for forgiveness,And they will go to heaven...

God accepts the Christian religion

Oahray:
well we don't have to convert them to Africans to show we aren't abandoning ours.

I don't believe culture has ever been set in stone anyway. It would always bend to external influence. The culture we know now wasn't the same as in the pre-colonization era.

Oahray:
*sigh* you still couldn't get the simple difference even with the explanation. Ehya, lemme try again. Both posts do not explain the same thing. My first post focused on who a NAZARENE is, that the term has nothing to do with keeping hair (like you implied). The second post was a response to a question about NAZIRITES, that they were the ones who kept hair.

Now Jesus wasn't a Nazirite but a Nazarene (from Nazareth), so the reason you gave for dreads in your 'bible-characters-must-be-black-to-give-Africans-some-worth' pic is an ignorant misconception at best.

You don't have to admit anyway. Most adult humans suck at it.

dalaman:
And according to the fable his father also happens to be him, so God sacrificed himself unto himself. Checkmate atheist.
