Last time i checked, a tongue or tongues means language thus speaking in tongues means speaking languages. According to the biblical tale, the holy spirit came upon the worshipers and they SPOKE IN TONGUES UNKNOWN TO THEM plus people around them witnessed this strange development and UNDERSTOOD thus got coverted in great numbers on the spot.

What this implies is that i can be in a gathering in Greece and beginning to preach in GREEK even though i have no prior knowledge of the language. In religious circles such phenomena would be called a miracle.

That said...what ALL churches claim to be "tongue speaking" is the absolute reverse of what their bible says and they re-write their bible via saying you need grace to understand the remamamaskinbobo crap they spew endlessly.

There are people (mostly europeans) who have little or zero inclination towards supernatural beliefs thus not everyone thinks or rather imagines the god concept. Furthermore there is a wide array of religions which include diverse sects and methods of worship a.k.a doctrine. While adherents of one religion imagine theirs to be a white man wearing white robes sitting on a golden throne others see a fat guy with sleepy eyes meditating. At the end, its all man made hence diverse perpectives on the god conceot.

Psylas:
I believe magic is real, magic is limited and magic doesn't prove the existence of any god, God, Dog etc

Wanna see real magic? Me and two guys can consume 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. That amount of food allegedly fed 5000 people in the bible fable. And i can assure you w'll eat anything left in the basket. Miracles dont get any close to this.

chinnyonwu:
He probably existed. probably a regular guy performin magics and tricks till he got nabbed and stapled to a tree.
but dont believe the God of the Bible. He is soo clueless

As in...TOTALLY!!! Remember the part where he and his disciples broke into someone's farm to grab corn to eat on a sabbath? Thats stealing plus invasion of private property. I guess the "thou shall not steal" and "thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods" commandment got thrown out of the window during that moment of hunger.

@reedmund...There are thousands of other religions whose believers would make the same claims as yours with reference to unavailable evidence plus religious scrolls as "hard facts" but not to worry...you worship the one and only "true god" right?

ZKOSOSO:
Even in Poverty the hate runs deep in their hearts.
Imagine Senegalese, Malian and Ivory Coast doing these to fellow west African fellows from Nigeria and Ghana.

Too bad.

That's the fruit of religion...same way the afghan bombs his fellow pakistani even though they are the same race. Same way the shia moslem sprays bullets on sunni yet they all claim to worship allah. Same way the biblical isrealites committed repeated acts of genocide all because their all knowing god says so...same ppl say "we are all children of god".

okwynet:
I can't believe this kind of thing is still in existance in this 21st century. God have mercy

How different is this from people who worship the abrahamic god plus believing donkeys have vocal chords, 5000 people can actually be fed with 5 loaves of bread 2 fish and end up with 12 baskets full,virgins getting impregnated by spirits, sticks turning into snakes, using a stick to part the red sea,a man walking on water gets killed and awakes after 3 days,telling the sun to stand still...the list is endless. How different are these ridiculous tales to what these folks believe in?

Ilekeh:
No amount of education can take tradition and culture from Yoruba people

No amount of education can free the minds of most africans from brainwashing imported religions e.g christianity and islam.

No amount of education can take tribalism and ethnictism from the minds of most africans (as you displayed above) yet you all scream RACISM when the "white man" does the same.

Defending the existence of the biblical christ with the bible is same as defending christmas with santa claus.

wordcat:


Is there anything spiritual if I transfer music from my phone to your phone via bluetooth?

You forgot uploading files to cloud storage, pilotless aircraft (and recently cars too) or even sending letters via email. Perhaps its all the power of juju.

kay1one2:


Why should your opinion count?!

Now you're seriously beginning to sound nuts but again why should my opinion count...perhaps other posters might think different.

kay1one2:


Your "active" brain that cannot cater for even your basic needs!
Your case is in court!

My active brain can't cater for my basic needs? My case is in court? This thread really makes a whole lot of "sense" doesn't it?

kay1one2:


I hope you drive a hummer "jeep" genius!

How does driving an SUV connect with the above topic? Derailing your own thread already?

Hmm.

davien:
Why aren't the military aware of this super soldier and it's broom kryptonite?

Abi? Isn't it funny that stories like these keep going round yet no hard evidence. Same goes for the so called "odieshi" which both armed forces and criminals believe in yet the users of the african bullet proof keep falling like logs under a hail of bullets (with their charms still on their bodies if i might add).

OP says "imagine a world without islam". I say "imagine a world without religion". Even if islam disappears overnite, christians of different doctrines will still attack themselves (it happened before). Its all about intolerance on the part of humans. Yes...Christianity appears docile today but they have their own violent past no different from what islamic extremists do today. I'd say islam is christianity's younger cousin and still growing up hence the temper tantrums.

No big deal. Millions of gullible christians spend much more than mere 390k on tithing,offerings,building fund and of course "special deliverance" sessions.

Why all the fuss when most posters here will go drop hard earned money to oga pastor within the next 24hrs or less based on false promises?

Last time i checked, both christianity and islam fall under the definition of religion. In recent years both have made feeble attempts at distancing themselves from the word and "repackage" their faith as "a way of life" or "islam is peace".

Why get scared of contacting ebola when religion was kept billions of humans brain dead for centuries?

Two answers. Its either your story is cooked up (which seems more likely) or the guy was super high on drugs.

If atheists were aboard , both the moslems and christians would have put up a joint effort to throw them overboard. The benefits of religion...

Man created the idea of "God".
Man created the idea of marriage.
Man created the bible,quran,etc
Man created divorce.
Man created the nuclear bomb.
Man created boko haram.

Isn't it ironic that xtian posters here sympatize with this man rather than rejoice at his "tribulations" which the bible says are tests the followers of christ should not only expect but welcome? How different is this guy's ordeal from the likes of Paul,Silas,Stephen who was stoned to death,etc?

Perhaps these "tests of faith" don't apply to modern day xtains after all it's "not their portion" as they always say.

Classic...keep it coming.

The very people advocating for "Amnesty" to these cold blooded terrorists are the same people sponsoring them. Isn't it funny that whenever the Northern Elite "speak for their people", its ALWAYS complaints of inadequate funds from federal govt and "marginalization"? All they are interested in is more funds and more importantly, getting back the reins of power. BOKO HARAM IS ALL ABOUT THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS and nothing more. If a northerner (e.g Buhari or IBB) had emerged as president after Yar'Adua died, things would have been different. The senseless killings came into full force and progressively skyrocketed and GEJ became president.

Their intention was frustrate his tenure so it would seem as if he is not doing anything about "security" and thus, deter him or anyone that isn't from the North from contesting. Amnesty is given to people fighting for a just cause NOT rampaging lunatics who wipe out entire families in cold blood.

The Northern Elite keep complaining about inadequate funding yet its been revealed that they control 83% of our oil. Apart from that, what do their governors,senators,rep members and LG chairmen do with all the billions they get from Abuja every month?

The Sultan should shut up!!!

colly227: The intimidation I faced in ekosodun when I went to visit a friend was beyond my understanding. First it was a bit of being unlucky and it was about 7:30pm when I went to buy something to eat from hill crest hostel to Edo street, on getting to the fast food centre I noticed they have closed so I decided to buy suya, while I was waiting for aboki to warm the suya 2 cultist guys approached me from behind and one of them intentionally hit his hand on me just to make sure the Smirnoff drink he held falls of his hands. First I thought it was an accident then I bent down immediately to pick the drink for him backed with I'm sorry.

The guy that owned the Smirnoff said I shouldn't worry while the other guy asked in pretence who owes the spilled drink and his friend said it was his..hmmm as this point the guy pulled me out from the suya stand, ordered everyone to vanish, before I could knew it the street was empty. I begged for mercy trying to explain it was an accident but before I could explain he slapped my ears with both hands..I was shocked and confused, so much panic took over me cos more of their members came out. To summarize everything I got a serious beating and they took my money and phones.

What I'm trying to let people know is that I didn't step on a toe neither am I a cultist but I was just unlucky to be spotted as a target cos they needed money.

If I was killed people will say I must have stepped on a toe or a cultist belonging to another group or even because of a girl.

I am not disputing anything people said about the guy but they are chances he might have died of what he doesn't know about . Rip bro.

Please tell them.
