Christianity EtcRe: Agora The Movie And The Story Of Hypatia. by Hakeem12(m): 11:32pm On Sep 08, 2019
0temSapien:
Chapter FIVE
1. When Synesius came to me, saying, great woman, I admire your wisdom. Let me be one of your disciples, I said, you are welcome O Synesius. If you are willing to be my disciple, then make sure to be openminded and tolerant of me and other disciples like yourself.
2. For I have people of diverse religions as my disciples and they do not argue their beliefs in my court, rather, they argue philosophy and agree at the best. There are the Zoroastrians, the Manicheanists, the Jews, the pagans, the Confucianists, the Buddhists and the Christians like yourself, but they all comport themselves well.
3. Therefore be ready to do the same if you want to be my disciple.
4. When Synesius privately asked me what I felt about Christianity, I said, it is a religion: and as you know, all religions are tools for controlling people. But those who know how to control themselves do not have need of it.
5. I Hypatia have been without religion for twenty years. I recognize that there are many deities, but I do not bow down my head for any of them. Yet, I am disciplined and decent in my dealings with other humans like me.
6. Therefore they who are wise do not need religion to be able to control themselves, rather, they need good philosophy to do such. But they who are below the expected level of wisdom need religion to do what is right and to shun what is wrong.
7. Therefore, a nation of many wise people will be less religious than a nation of many foolish people. And the irony of it is that such nation of less religious people will do greater things and have greater inventions than the other nation of more religious people.
8. This is so because the presence of religion brings limitation to critical thoughts.
9. When Synesius heard my words, he was charged up such that he wept at the truth and bowed his head to me, saying, mother, your words are well pronounced and they are the words of a goddess.
10. Do you believe in reincarnation, O great one? For I have heard about reincarnation and I tend towards believing it these days.
11. Now I smiled and said to her, I believe in reincarnation O Synesius. I have had a revelation eight times revealing a distant past to me. I have found myself in an ancient land of the Arabians in a body which is less desirous.
12. I was an antagonist to the ideologies of the Arabians of that place and I fought a great battle against them and prevailed. . I was named Sofia in those days, meaning beauty. I have also seen myself in this kind of body, but I was a Greek in those days.
13. I was named Sophia, meaning wisdom, and I was a talker and an advocate for the females. Therefore I agree with Iamblichus, Plotinus and Porphyry in the matter of reincarnation because I have seen myself twice in the past lives.
14. When I taught my students in all the teachings of Ptolemy, they said to me, great teacher, do you agree to all the things taught by Ptolemy the great one? I said to them, I agree to many of his teachings in astronomy, but I have my reservations to some of them.
15. That the sun revolves around the earth seems to me as a wrong assertion, because I feel that natural objects should revolve around illuminating objects rather than the other way round.
16. The flies go around the candles and the lamps, for they are in need of its light. The flies go close to the radiant beauty of the petals of flowers and suck the nectars in them. In all natural cases, the things which are less illuminating revolve around the things which are more illuminating.
17. Therefore I think that the earth should be revolving around the sun and not the other way round.
18. When those who held Ptolemy, Aristotle, Anaximander and other supporter of the earth being the center of the universe in high esteem heard what I said, they said, Hypatia knows nothing. She thinks that she could apply philosophy to astronomy.
19. I said to them, philosophy is even the father of astronomy, mathematics, science, art and all manner of things. For it deals with reasoning deep and coming out with the best answer for a particular period of time.
20. Nature and philosophy are in agreement more than religion and philosophy. For philosophy allows for freedom and the use of the head to think deep and tap into natural things, whereas religion makes use of the emotions of the heart to tap into artificial creations.
21. Therefore it is not a surprise to know that philosophy gives birth to all the useful things of the world, including science, art, astronomy, mathematics and many others. But religion gives birth to war, hatred, slave trading, discrimination and all such things.
22. Therefore my advice for everyone is to go with philosophy rather than religion. For a land of many philosophers shall be made reference to by many lands, but what reference shall be made to a land of many religious enthusiasts? Such land shall only be known for corruption and religious violence.
23. So I say, if you will go any way at all, go the way of head-using, which is the way of philosophy. Then shall your land be well developed.
Are all these from a specific book?

Christianity EtcRe: Christians, What Are The Reasons Why You Won't Go To Church On Sunday? by Hakeem12(m):
People who were taught not to question their religious indoctrination will always feel persecuted by those who have the common sense to question their beliefs. This is their cognitive dissonance kicking in. They can't believe anyone has the audacity to question what they were taught not to. People can refuse to go to church or mosque because they don't want to, it's that simple. It's funny when religious people look at you with pity in their eyes, when you reject their teachings, like they have won the lotto and you're missing out on something big. Let people be, you preach live and let live, yet wake people up every money with noise, preach on buses, go from house to house and all. If religious people had their way, they would throw people in jail for not practicing religion. I say this because one moment they are enticing you with heaven, the next, scaring you with eternal damnation.

Is it difficult for you to post the two or three passages of the scripture from that new testament where tithe was mentioned and rebuked by Jesus Christ?


Now let me add an incentive : if you can produce any one scripture from the new or old testament where tithe was rebuked, I will denounce Christianity , from this day forward.

NB:
Know that you have misled and reinforced false belief and doctrine amongst the 60 or more people who have liked your post.

Whereas , tithe is not mandatory , it is devilish to propagate falsehood against it practice .

Whosoever misled another , it will be better he was never born.
I believe you use a smartphone capable of google search. I have no interest in whether you convert or not, that's your goddamn business.

Nodogragra4me:
The truth is that you have only seen what you want to see f rom the scripture because of your nature.

Your claim that the two or three references exist in the new testament about tithing and them being about rebuke is patently false and a work of the devil. I hope you are not in his service.

Post those references and re read them to yourself and then point or explain how they are about rebuke
The first tithe was to be spent on travel and worship expenses for attending the annual feasts in Jerusalem (Deut. 14:22-26). The second tithe made provision for the Levites who ministered in the Temple (Deut. 14:27, Num. 18:21). The third tithe was collected every three years and distributed to the poor and needy (Deut. 14:28-29, 26:12). THIS was the tithing law that Jesus accused the Scribes and Pharisees of neglecting.

Re read them yourself, unless those passages were written by the devil, anyone would understand that. Comprehension isn't that hard.

And what about the other 4999 religions who claim the same? What makes you think the one you were indoctrinated with is the path to heaven, and those mentioned there really communicated with God?
Christianity EtcRe: Rev Father Kelvin Ugwu: Understanding The Significance Of First Fruit And Tithes by Hakeem12(m):
The real question here is: “does the New Covenant require tithing, or do many Christians require it?” The New Testament teaches Cheerful Giving, but, unfortunately, many Christians still insist on tithing.

The problem with Christian Biblical interpretation is that one needs to take the Biblical passages in their textual and historical context. Much of the support for tithing comes from the Old Testament and the Old Mosaic Covenant, and the New Testament and the New Covenant. Malachi 3:8, is in the Old Covenant and applies to Mosaic Covenant Israel, not the New Covenant Church. In fact, there are only two or three references in the New Testament to tithing, and those passages refer to Christ rebuking the Jewish leaders for faithful tithing, while ignoring the most important things.

Many Christians take tithing out of context in other ways. Tithing was of agricultural produce and livestock. It was not of money. Tithing was to support the tribe of Levi, which could not have land of its own. Tithing was part of the Jewish tax system to support them and Temple worship. Tithing was also supposed to help the poor, not oppress them.

In the New Covenant, there is no tithing of the land. There is no Levitical priesthood. All Christians are priests. Neither the mode or need for tithing are relevant any more.
Christianity EtcRe: Prayers, Fasting, Reading The Bible & Being Sober Are Secret To Less Sin? by Hakeem12(m):
No man has ever told the truth about heaven and hell, for no man knows.

Reading the bible is what makes you a Christian, understanding the bible makes you an atheist.
FamilyRe: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Hakeem12(m):
For all our cries about loneliness, we are actually the ones who are greatest at isolating ourselves. We hold everyone at a distance because we don't want them getting in the way of our "Me" time. We don't communicate because we don't want to make the effort. We don't reciprocate because we don't want to be too invested just to be rejected. We don't like to go out because we get anxious. We don't let any potential relationship grow because we are too focused on our "hobbies" and "alone time". We don't compromise when we can't get our way. Yes it's true we are very introspective, we are always in our heads, so much that we can get a little bit full of ourselves.

Members of the public are strongly advised to take note of the following:

1. For your own good, whenever law enforcement agents ( whether in uniform or not) stop a vehicle you boarded, stay calm, avoid hissing and grumbling. Whether you are a man or a woman,
respect them.

2. Please take the receipts of your electronic equipment, laptop or other bulk gadgets (original or photocopy), anywhere you go if you must carry them.

3. If you don't have means of identification from your school or workplace, get at least a national ID card or driver's licence. It is crucial.

4. Delete all your bank alerts, and transfer sensitive information into a flash drive or memory card. Keep your financial transactions away from your phone.

5. Carrying more than one ATM card may bring serious problem for you in our present-day Nigeria : be warned !!!

6. If you must move at night no matter how close to your house, take your ID card and let someone go with you.

7. Dress responsibly - it will save you. Looking rugged and wild may earn you serious trouble.

8. If you are given a vehicle to go for an errand, make sure all documents are complete and up-to-date. Also, your driver's licence must be handy before you hit the road.

9. When your car is being searched, don't just look away in anger; they are doing their job. Just
pay close attention to what's going on, to avoid "had I known".

10. If you are not sure of what someone is carrying in a bag, pack, or sack, please ask politely before accepting to give the person a ride. You may be arrested for what you know nothing about.

11. After any stranger you decide to give a help comes down, move forward a little, park and search your vehicle very well before you continue so as to avoid harbouring any incriminating objects left behind.

12. It is mandatorily necessary you dont keep this message to yourself alone...

*TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED !!!*
