They probably all got it from needle Your chances of catching HIV isn't as high as you think. Humans have been having sex for eons without catching HIV and 99.9% will not catch it before they pass away. Enjoy sex and be happy. |

Water baptism is an ancient practice long before Christianity that signifies rebirth. The Egyptians used the water from the nile to "purify" new born babies or a way to initiate new converts into secret cults. A way to be born into a new way of life. Christianity obviously adopted all these pagan ways of life, including " sun - day" worship of the Sun |

durodee: People describe God sometimes from their experience. That does not always mean they are right or wrong. It is just their experience. I am sorry your experience is still limited to the realm of gods or a need to create one. I am just asking folks their favourate name to describe THE ALMIGHTY GOD! Basically you mean people describe gods from personal experience. You do know we all have different experiences with life. The hungry dude will call his god " a great provider". The improsoned guy will call his god " the one who bails you out of prison". We are humans with personal needs and since we have been told we are limited, we thus created god with out minds. "THE UNKILLABLE I AM THAT I AM" that is my name, I don't have to give that to a god. |

By having all your sexual fantasies fulfilled. Besides there's no such thing as being sexually pure. Sexuality is always in it purest form. Except one who is sexually frustrated or unfulfilled due to religious laws that degrades sexuality.
According to Christians, Jesus had no sexual life, what a shame. You cannot learn sexuality from an inexperienced guy. |

gbegemaster: In the Old Testament, Job 26:7 explains that the Earth is suspended in space, the obvious comparison being with the spherical sun and moon.
A literal translation of Job 26:10 is “He described a circle upon the face of the waters, until the day and night come to an end.”
A spherical Earth is also described in Isaiah 40:21-22—“the circle of the earth.” Did he say a god was spinning it? How did job see the earth as being spherical? |

Why post a topic on a social forum and disable comment from others? World laws and views progress as people debate and criticise them. Look at "Christianity", it is much better than the 18th century , but Islam choose to remain the same. Sooner or later Islam will see that they far far behind. |

NL is a case study, who seems to be pestering who about religion or God? Obviously the atheists. Why are you in the religious section sir? Is atheism a religion? Very often than not, atheists create threads raining insults and criticizing us about our "non-existent God" and you turn around and accuse us of being the ones criticizing?

hahn: I dig. But you forget that hypocrisy is a necessary ingredient in religion
No one cares about the message or the messenger as long as the doctrine can be twisted to suit them You are right. People generally want a strong leader/ character to follow, hence Jesus was created for them. Positive morals and teachings like " love your neighbour as yourself", " do to others what you want them to do to you" were added to negative ones like "Tithes", " Sun - day" worship, "touch not my annoying" and other irrelevant doctrines... The poor are usually the targets. To keep them from murdering the rich they are being manipulated with " the meek shall inherit the earth" kind of teachings. The poor are the ones you often see defending religion to death. How many rich Muslims has ever been suicide bomber? Probably none. |

knowyaself2: I'm afraid, your first sentence applies to you. There's no God but yourself. If you think there's an old man with white beard sitting on a throne in the sky, watching your every move and judging you, then you are far from the truth. Have you demystified the story of the garden of Eden? BTw all stories in the bible are mostly allegories and corruption of spiritual facts to mislead. The tree in garden of Eden story, represents the human soul, with its trunk being symbolic of the spine . The prohibited fruit which Eve gave to Adam is meditation and its results. Meditation leads to self empowerment and attainment of godhead. The serpent is satan, the teacher of the mystery of godhead and eternal life. Moreover, God is the all encompassing energy; has no personality. It is nature, a divine force that can be mastered and made useful. It lives in you and can be activated if you have the knowledge. Aliens or extraterrestrials have gained mastery over this force. Demons and satan are real beings, they are extraterrestrials. |

hahn: Yeah sha but the people you are trying to explain this to believe he is real. That obstacle has to be crossed for them to even be able to understand where you are going My point is, Jesus being real or fake is not the issue. The messenger/ teacher shouldn't be the focus, but the message. The message is all about being fully human, being fully enhanced for us to activate our full human abilities. The story of Jesus, Esu, Sango, Buddah are to help human see that it is possible to be complete humans. I compare it to an atheist who experiment and try Inge out rather wait for gods. |

tripplephi: JESUS WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN.....
HEY FUNNY BRO HOW come you omitted these:
That Jesus actually attended synagogue and they pushed him out
Jesus actually never spoke against the synagogue but against corrupt pharisees
Jesus healed the sick and did miracles in the name OF THE SAME GOD the pharisees and Sadducee were talking of.
Jesus spoke of God as a Father and of his GREAT LOVE.
YET your darkened mind can dare to allocate the title ATHEIST anywhere near JESUS.... my guy simply shut your trap. You do not know enough to even hiss on this matter.
JESUS BROKE ONLY THE SELFISH RELIGIOUS LAWS AND TOTALLY EXPLAINED WHY THE MOSES LAWS HAD TO BE STOPPED BECAUSE GOD GAVE MOSES THE LAWS DUE TO THE PEOPLE'S WICKEDNESS. I could attend a church service if I want. But you must understand that it was a taboo then not to go to the synagogue. In fact the sabbath day was criticised by Jesus. It's like being an atheist student of Convenant University in Nigeria. You will got to their Christian services but know in your heart that it isn't necessary. He had to obey the laws of the land. " Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar or give to god what belongs to god" didn't mean he condoled it but that in a time when people get put to death for going against that. He helped people heal themselves by helping them activate their hidden powers. He said what he did you can do better, didn't he say that? Stop being emotional! |
Christianity Etc › Jesus Was Likely An Atheist,todays Pastors Are The Pharisees by ifenes(op): 12:26pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
When I take a close look at the story of Jesus and how he was seen as a Rebel to the laws of Yahweh and his puppets, it is not hard to see a dude who didn't care about the weekly rituals we see today in churches. He did not only promote self love and self empowerment, he actually showed the people the secret to his God abilities. He made he let them know that only their believe(in themselves) can solve their problem. He wasn't about worshiping a God but showing good example like; The Good Samaritan. The Samaritans were seen as enemies to the Jew and we know that such people were the ones Yahweh would have asked them to destroy, but the story said Jesus felt they could get along just fine
Lets imagine Jesus being there when Yahweh commanded the killing of the people of Jericho. Would he have supported the killing? No he wouldn't. Or lets say the phrase "suffer not the witch to live",would have been totally different, going to war and raping innocent women would have been a no no unlike Yahweh liked it. This got me thinking.......
The Pharisees were careful students of the Jewish law. They always wanted to obey the law. Perhaps they remembered what God had done, years before. He had punished people who did not obey the law. He allowed their enemies to defeat them. So the Pharisees wanted to obey the agreement that God had made with his people. They would even die for the law. They trusted God to bring them to the resurrection. Their religion was really about behaviour. Their law had hundreds of rules about the way to live. The rules were very strict.
Same applies to the pastors today. The fear of God is all they preach every week to keep their sheep in line just as the Pharisees of old did. Pay tithes or else god will be angry are old fashion rules that are radical. Can we really say a guy who stopped a woman from being stoned to death would throw her into a lake of fire? That's not possible! But the bible shouldn't be taken literally
While somethings using the term"god" to the people around him(otherwise he would have been stoned to death earlier) he gave hidden messages that were all about Love.LOVE indeed is the key to unlocking the true God in us and giving to the less privilege is giving to God,not the offering box.
At the of his journey, just like it can happen to any Atheist,the people voted they crucified him rather than the thief because he spoke against their god. He was killed because he was against the same laws the christians follow today. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Can Anyone Explain These? by ifenes(m): 11:37am On Mar 22, 2017 |
pressplay411: Funny it all started with the recent suicide by the doctor that jumped off the 3rd mainland bridge. Some felt it was a spiritual attack. It suddenly culminated into argument with some colleagues and these questions posed a conundrum. Any explanations?
1. Reincarnation We've heard stories of a husband whose wife decided to trace his background by going to his hometown with his picture only to be told he had died years ago and was even taken to his burial ground. Upon return to her home, the husband had vanished and never to be seen again.
2. Odeshi I'm sure we've all heard that bullets bounced of certain warriors, armed robbers and even cultists. How does this Odeshi work?
3. Witchcraft & Marine Spirits No matter where you grew up in the world, there's a witch near you. Usual suspects are the old women and the very young. Of course there's always one confession in church. And we've all heard of men who picked up hitchhikers only for them to transform in the middle of the night.
4. Rituals The name Ezeego rings bells across the nation for money rituals. People go to extreme lengths to escape poverty. From sacrificing close relatives to kidnapping unlucky victims, one-chance buses, etc.
Are these mere hearsays or actual occurences? I'm of the opinion that Nollywood is to blame but my colleagues claim they know some people who experienced these. These are stuff folks should have been taught as kids. But religion destroys knowledge and produces confused adults. Reincarnation is part of life cycle and shouldn't be a big deal. Every life forms are linked, we live in the "Now" in parallel realities. Every possible lives we are living are happening now.Reincarnation is an Illusion like Time that helps us experience them in separate time. Defeat the Illusion of Time and you will will see the hall of pictures. You cannot teach this to an adult who's mind is polluted or a hardcore christian who has been severely brainwashed. Jesus,Moses etc are the same people just as you are the same as them. you are Jesus,Fela and everyone you have come across. Time the great illusionist makes you think you are different. Hence the Phrase; "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF" because you are your neighbour. Rituals,Odeshi etc are all aspects of you. What you call good and evil are an aspect of you. What ever you believe in is what you will attract. Those who think charms are potent are unconsciously shifting to a "parallel" world where it will work on them. Your belief defines what you experience. |

Till date, there's no human who has lead a more exemplary life than Christ. And you say we shouldn't follow his commandments? Okay. Should we then go about killing people, stealing, bombing, being deceitful etc? Excuse me, do you have a problem with the commandments. ?
Of HIS kingdom there shall be no end. Do you expect God to die for us to take over? Do you not realize that spirits cannot die? There you go again. Christ is not a name but a state of Spiritual awareness. I am Ife Christ when I reach that state of simplicity and alignment with my true self. Christ means light, illumination, the way one should be if you want to be in tune with you Godself. Many humans have lived this life and are still living it. Stop living a life of denial, only you can free yourself. You don't know your God, if you did you will know it's you. |

How much more the child of the creator. As Christians, we are heirs of the father and joint heirs with Christ the Son. We are a royal priesthood. So nobody is being a slave to God and this is evident by the free will we have.
However, anyone without God, is already enslaved by the devil as he possesses their mind and blinds them from the reality of God. Noted, but the child knows the father and will grow into an adult and also become a father or mother. But you guys are "children of of god" forever, following silly commandments like slaves. You don't even know your god anyway |
