kingemzy5: Because you are a happy fool doesn't mean you should say ills about your creator God isn't a man that you can cajole with stay away from insult if u don't want ur life to be like a wretched being
Why do you all get so worked up easily? . Like calm down and be Christlike!.
Moneyboyz: Have you seen Netflix Big Mouth that show is fucking hilarious... The way the hormone monster talks about c*cks and balls makes my day worthwhile
Zither: Have you tried trying to hear from the Source of christianity, God? Have you tried hearing from Him to get the true picture of your life, christianity, and any other thing that concerns you?
Is god also the source of other religions apart from christainity?. How can you hear from something/someone that doesn't exist?.
Look at the nice comments from so-called Christains, he's now likeable cause he's preaching. If he was doing otherwise, this thread would be filled with insults..
In a civilized country, a policeman has no business preaching in a public bus. He's even preaching in his uniform!, such disrespect .
This is Nigeria, a lawless country. Everything goes once it has to do with god.
I read a book few days ago written by a self-acclaimed 'Jesus Feminist'.
When it got to this particular passage for her to explain, she suddenly remembered that the Bible was written thousands of years ago and therefore this particular passage has no place in our society today..
It's really hilarious, cause I don't know any woman who would be comfortable with that particular passage except of course the irredeemable religious women!.
The book itself was about her being a 'Jesus Feminist'. I struggled to finish the book and ended up giving it 1 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.
There were other misogynistic passages she tried to explain but she did that from the point of view of theologians who believe the bible must have been misinterpreted while being translated into English.
This is a classic example of how religious people find some passages in the bible problematic and then try to explain the passage in such a way that it suits them often deviating from the original problematic meaning....
They often say it's been misinterpreted. It's only misinterpreted if it's problematic, lol .
Mobilia: Sir if I may ask, Can't "influence" be just as powerful as "force"? I mean, you didn't put actual shackles on your family, BUT you did create an environment where God was not invited. It was a "mind-set" that was subtlety set. You live daily with your family and set the tone for how things are done. If they actually wanted to serve God, I dare say that there would have been some opposition (by you) cause you would've done nothing to support or nurture their desires. So you, indirectly, did turn your family into non-believers.
I'm gonna only speak for Christianity when I say that there is such a gross misrepresentation of the Biblical Christianity (the one that Christ tried to display). This boils down to a "heart" issue...a lack of true, Godly conversion. We are, unfortunately, getting it wrong...and need to backtrack, humble ourselves, repent and renew our mind-sets.
Nigerian religious women don't give their daughters that choice, that is the difference. Look at the case of the Saudi girl even though she's not Nigerian. She wasn't given the chance to be a non-muslim so she fled her country..
4dor: I really hate to argue or derail but your 1st paragraph is 100% false. At least I know four Senior Engineers recruited straight from Naija, two at Delivery Hero, one at N26 and yours truly. Had to debunk this so it doesn't affect the confidence of any Nigerian Software Engineer that reads your comment.
How did the black man get saved before Christ and what is the fate of those who died still worshipping their idols and practising their primitive religion .
They will end up in hell fire since salvation is only through our Lord Jesus Christ ..
Ihedinobi3: Your questions are really one question:
how does anyone get saved?
Whether it was before the First Advent or after, Salvation has always happened by Faith in God's Substitute. That is, those who were saved before the First Advent were those who believed in a Promised Savior. Those who believed after were those who believed in the Savior Who had now come and paid the price for our sins.
What about the Black Man?
Salvation is only by Faith in God's Substitute.
But people will only believe if they hear.
Well, every single human being is born with an awareness of sin, of judgment and of God. Those who take it seriously go looking for answers to the human condition, that is, the condition of being sinful and in danger of eternal condemnation from a Righteous and Just God.
Those who seek ALWAYS find.
This is why we have an Ethiopian in the Bible who was a believer even though he had to go all the way to Jerusalem to worship.
Everyone who goes to Hell is someone who did not want to be saved. They either dismissed the idea that they needed to be or they made up their own idea of salvation.
But throughout all human generations, every single person who has desired to be saved, no matter where they were or what color their skin, was saved.
Why did it take slavery and colonisation to introduce christainity to Africans and tag it 'the true religion'. It's 't he true religion' cause it was practiced by white people aka colonisers aka slave masters . I mean the bible justify slavery so....
I was arguing with a religious the other day and she said that the god our ancestors worshipped then is the same christain god worshipped by Christains and that the christain religion is better .
It's also ironic when religious people claim that something isn't African or that it's not in our culture. Well, same with the christain religion you are practicing.
frosbel2: When I came to the UK newly and was carrying religion on my head, I once said to this young white guy I was working with and dissecting fresh chickens with a sharp knife , that I hear God talk to me always.
Little did I know that in the UK once you say that God talks to you directly they think you are mentally ill. The guy panicked because of the knife in my hand, he thought I was insane.
CAPSLOCKED: CATHOLICS ALWAYS CLAIM THEY'RE THE BEST, AND ONLY CHRISTIAN SECT INSTITUTED BY GOD HIMSELF, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE HANDED OVER THE "KEYS" TO ST. PETER THE APOSTLE.
THESE GUYS CANONISE MEMBERS AND CALL SELECTED DEAD PEOPLE SAINTS AND MARTYRS, WHO CATHOLIC MEMBERS ARE TAUGHT TO PRAY TO, AND DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO, BECAUSE CALLING ON GOD THROUGH JESUS AND KISSING IMAGES OF MARY IS NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH.
DO YOU KNOW THAT CATHOLICS CLAIM THE POPE IS INFALLIBLE? MEANING HE IS ALWAYS CORRECT IN ALL HE DOES, AND CAN NEVER SIN OR DO ANY WRONG.
THESE PEOPLE ARE RETÀRDED AND I'M ONLY SHORT OF WORDS WHEN I SAY THAT. I'M AN EX-SEMINARIAN IN CASE YOU WANNA KNOW.
