Religion / Christians Are Now LYING About Near-death Experiences by jazzman7711: 3:27pm On May 08 |
Don’t believe the new fad by Christians. They have started producing FAKE VIDEO TESTIMONIES of NDEs in which they have people claiming they went to Hellfire and were told about ‘Jesus’ and how they needed ‘Jesus’ in order to be saved, etc. IT IS ALL LIES. I have been reading NDE accounts for DECADES, on sites like www.nderf.org, and the numerous testimonies always stated that you do NOT need to be religious or even believe in God, to transit to the Afterlife, which we call ‘heaven’. IT IS A NATURAL PROCESS FOR ALL SOULS. But in recent months we have been seeing fake testimonies on YouTube pushed out by CHRISTIANS in which people are claiming they went to “hellfire” and were told they need to “accept Jesus”, in order to be sent to “heaven”. THESE ARE LIES AND FABRICATIONS. Do not let CHRISTIANS hijack the beautiful story of our immortality in a beautiful Afterlife. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO TO DO THEM OR THEIR “Jesus”. 2 Likes |

BAN Christianity, BAN Islam and other foreign religions from this country and continent. The RACIAL INFERIORITY COMPLEX most of our people have STARTS WITH THIS FOLLOWING OF THESE WORTHLESS FOREIGN RELIGIONS THAT TEACH OUR PEOPLE TO FEEL INFERIOR TO OTHER RACES, AND ELEVATE THEIR CULTURE AND HISTORY OVER OURS. I HATE CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM WITH A PASSION BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID TO THE AFRICAN MIND. DISASTROUS, FILTHY, GUTTER RELIGIONS THAT ARE UTTERLY WORTHLESS. BAN THEM ALL. If we must have a religion, we must return to, and update/rebrand our AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION.

Even the ‘Jesus’ you worship, if he really existed, was a BLACK MAN, whose story was DISTORTED by the Romans. Did Russian president Putin not recently release thousands of images showing the ancient Hebrews were depicted as BLACKS? Has that made you people tear down your white Jesus images from your walls?

Religion / Re: Why My People Will Never Accept The Real "Black" Jesus — Nigerian Man Reveals by jazzman7711: 2:28pm On Apr 18 |
Because the British brainwashed them to worship a WHITE MAN whom they called “Jesus”. When you now present them with a BLACK MAN who is the real “Jesus”, it destabilizes them because they were brainwashed to worship a WHITE MAN, not a BLACK MAN. So they will get ANGRY at you, call you a DEVIL WORSHIPPER, and even HATE the real black Jesus for trying to destabilise their heads which have been brainwashed to worship a WHITE MAN, not a BLACK MAN. Because for the British invaders and thieves, it was never about getting their colonised victims to worship the true God. (How can truth and goodness come from thieves and mass murderers?) It was about getting them to worship the WHITE MAN. So for their Nigerian ‘converts’, once you remove the WHITENESS, you’ve DESTROYED their faith in their “personal lord and saviour”, the WHITE MAN.

MaxInDHouse: You don’t understand. THE ANCIENT GREEK NAME FOR ALL AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA WAS ‘ETHIOPIA’. The modern day nation of Ethiopia is not the ETHIOPIA of the ancient world. There are ancient MAPS you can check out on Google where you will see all Africa south of Egypt named ‘ETHIOPIA’. In fact the Atlantic Ocean in those maps is named the ‘ETHIOPIAN OCEAN’.

The reason you feel inferior to other races is because you do not know your history. The knowledge of the “blameless Ethiopians” of ancient history is the SAME knowledge of IFA PRIESTS today. There was no hellfire then, and there is no hellfire now. You were lied to by criminals whom your illustrious ancestors civilised out of their caves, who turned around later to make guns and firearms to invade and destroy your land, steal your resources and hand you their “holy book@ that threatened you with a fake “hellfire” if you failed to worship them. |

MaxInDHouse: Ancient Greek philosopher, Diodorus Sicilius, visited Africa south of the Sahara around 300 BC, which was referred to as ‘ETHIOPIA’, and wrote in his famous book, Bibliotheka Historica, that the ‘AETHIOPIANS’ “invented writing, and gave the Egyptians their religion and culture”. In the ancient world, the Greeks referred to Africa as “the land of the Gods”, and Africans were referred to as ‘the Blameless Aethiopians’ because of their piety and closeness to Divinity. In the famous book by Homer, The Iliad, we are told that the Greek gods went to rest in AFRICA when they were not in Greece. One of the greatest Greek gods was Zeus, of which Homer wrote that “Zeus went yesterday to Ocean, to a feast With the blameless Ethiopians and all the Gods followed.. There is no time to sit. To the streams of Ocean… To the land of the Ethiopians. Where they offer a hecatomb to the Gods. I go once again, so as to receive my share of the feast.” - Iliad, Homer |

Here is what happens when you die. You rise up out of your body. You still have a body, but it is lighter in weight, and youngish, roughly around 30 years of age looking. You lose all previous pain and aches and illness afflicting your old body that’s lying on the bed or wherever. You will be looking at your old body thinking, “wow…look at that! I’m alive! I’m not really dead! It’s just my old body that’s expired!” And then you could start to walk around here and there, and you would discover that you can walk through physical objects like walls. Physical humans will be unable to see you, but you can see them. You will see them crying over your dead body. You will feel like telling them “No! Stop crying! I’m not really dead!”, but they will not see or hear you. You will stand there with them screaming that you are alive. They won’t see or hear you, and will just walk right through your new body as if it wasn’t there. You will find that you don’t need to walk to get anywhere. You can simply ‘float’, ie just stand a little above the ground and float to your destination. You can also FLY, if you want to get somewhere quicker. You don’t need to know the directions to wherever you are going. You simply think of where you want to go, and you will find yourself heading there. You will discover that you are unaware of the passage of time. You can accelerate ‘time’ in your head. For instance, say you want to observe your funeral, you will not need to experience the passage of a week or however long it takes them to arrange it. You will see it happening in what seems to be a five or ten minute period to you. You might decide after that to move on into the Afterlife realm where trillions of beings like you reside… There lies the Real World. The place scientists call ‘Dark Matter’. As physical humans, we can only observe 0.005% of the universe. Just that tiny sliver of matter that can reflect light. The rest of the 99.995%, ie ‘Dark Matter’, we are blind to. It is where we go when we dream. That is where all the people we think are dead reside. That’s where God resides. That’s the REAL WORLD we ALL return to after this brief experience we call ‘life on Earth’. When you die, you do not ‘Rest in Peace’. You return back to a life of endless ACTIVITY, ie the direct opposite of “resting in peace”. There is no ‘hellfire’ waiting for you there. The very idea is laughed at by people there. If you were evil in your Earth life, the only ‘punishment’ you experience is your conscience. There, your conscience is far more substantive and profound than it is here. What seems like a small offence to you here, feels like a big crime to you there, and you have a strong urge to make amends. Some people decide to reincarnate as Earth humans to do that, perhaps by becoming religious figures, teachers, charity workers etc. 1 Like |

''Using statistical methods to estimate the time required to achieve the current spread and diversity in modern languages today, Johanna Nichols — a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley — argues that vocal language must have arisen in our species at least 100,000 years ago. Using phonemic diversity, a more recent analysis offers directly linguistic support for a similar date. Estimates of this kind are independently supported by genetic, archaeological, palaeontological and much other evidence suggesting that language probably emerged somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa during the Middle Stone Age, roughly contemporaneous with the speciation of Homo sapiens.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language 2 Writing In 1999, Archaeology Magazine reported that the earliest Egyptian hieroglyphs date back to 3400 BCE which "...challenge the commonly held belief that early logographs, pictographic symbols representing a specific place, object, or quantity, first evolved into more complex phonetic symbols in Mesopotamia." Who were these original Egyptians? The Greek historian Herodotus.. described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair." Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look." http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml In his book 'Egypt', British scholar Sir E.A. Wallis Budge says: "The prehistoric native of Egypt, both in the old and in the new Stone Ages, was African and there is every reason for saying that the earliest settlers came from the South." He further states: "There are many things in the manners and customs and religions of the historic Egyptians that suggests that the original home of their prehistoric ancestors was in a country in the neighborhood of Uganda and Punt [present day Somalia]." ''Greek historian Diodorus Siculus devoted an entire chapter of his world history, the Bibliotheke Historica, or Library of History (Book 3), to the Kushites ["Aithiopians"] of Meroe. Here he repeats the story of their great piety, their high favor with the gods, and adds the fascinating legend that they were.. the founders of Egyptian civilization, invented writing, and had given the Egyptians their religion and culture.'' (1st century B.C., Diodorus Siculus of Sicily, Greek historian and contemporary of Caesar Augustus, Universal History Book III. 2. 4-3. 3) http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html To summarise: "Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilisation. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in the air and cannot be written correctly until African historians connect it with the history of Egypt. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective nor unruffled. He is ignorant, cowardly and neurotic. The ancient Egyptians were Negroes. The moral fruit of their civilisation is to be counted among the assets of the Black world." - Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilisation. 3 Medicine ''The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC.... The Ebers papyrus (1550 BC) is full of incantations and foul applications meant to turn away disease-causing demons, and also includes 877 prescriptions. It may also contain the earliest documented awareness of tumors.. Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices. Pliny the Elder also wrote favourably of them in historical review. Hippocrates (the 'father of medicine'), Herophilos, Erasistratus and later Galen studied at the temple of Amenhotep, and acknowledged the contribution of ancient Egyptian medicine to Greek medicine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_medicine 4 Architecture The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built to serve both as grave sites and also as a way to make their names last forever. The size and simple design show the high skill level of Egyptian design and engineering on a large scale. The Great Pyramid of Giza, which was probably completed c. 2580 BC, is the oldest and largest of the pyramids, and is the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid of Khafre is believed to have been completed around 2532 BC, at the end of Khafre's reign. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_architecture Sudan (Ancient Nubia) is also a site of MORE pyramids than Egypt, many older and smaller-sized. Sudan has 255 pyramids in total, dated several thousands of years old. https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2015/4/5/pictures-of-sudans-forgotten-nubian-pyramids 5 Mathematics The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY ''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time. The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar. Also, Predynastic Egyptians of the 5th millennium BC pictorially represented geometric designs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics#Prehistoric_mathematics ''Numeral systems have been many and diverse, with the first known written numerals created by Egyptians in Middle Kingdom texts such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. More complex mathematics did not appear until around 3000 BC, when the Egyptians and Babylonians began using arithmetic, algebra and geometry for taxation and other financial calculations, for building and construction, and for astronomy'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics 6 Mining of minerals The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining#Prehistoric_mining 7 Iron Smelting Iron smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore. This includes production of silver, iron, copper and other base metals from their ores. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind. Early iron smelting: ''Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting 8 Religion Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract. He wrote about the ''Ethiopians'' south of Egypt. "They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honor the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Aithiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity," 9 Laws Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says: "Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws." Quoted by John D. Baldwin, Prehistoric Nations, p. 62. 10 International Trade In 1825, Arnold Hermann Heeren (1760-1842), Professor of History and Politics in the University of Gottengen and one of the ablest of the early exponents of the economic interpretation of history, published, in the fourth and revised edition of his great work Ideen Uber Die Politik, Den Verkehr Und Den Handel Der Vornehmsten Volker Der Alten Weld, a lengthy essay on the history, culture, and commerce of the ancient Ethiopians, which had profound influence on contemporary writers in the conclusion that it was among these ancient Black people of Africa and Asia that international trade was first developed. He thinks that as a by-product of these international contacts there was an exchange of ideas and cultural practices that laid the foundations of the earliest civilizations of the ancient world. Heeren in his researches says: "From the remotest times to the present, the Ethiopians [ancient name for blacks south of the Sahara] have been one of the most celebrated, and yet the most mysterious of nations. In the earliest traditions of nearly all the..civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found. The annals of the Egyptian priests are full of them, and the nations of inner Asia, on the Euphrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their traditions of the wars and conquests of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology. When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets, and when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished." http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html 11 Philosophy Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy#Ancient_philosophy Philosophy in Africa has a rich and varied history, dating from pre-dynastic Egypt, continuing through the birth of Christianity and Islam. Arguably central to the ancients was the conception of "ma'at", which roughly translated refers to "justice", "truth", or simply "that which is right". One of the earliest works of political philosophy was the Maxims of Ptah-Hotep, which were taught to Egyptian schoolboys for centuries...Ancient Egyptian philosophers made extremely important contributions to Hellenistic philosophy, Christian philosophy, and Islamic philosophy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_philosophy ''Ancient Egyptian philosophy has been credited by the ancient Greeks as being the beginning of philosophy''. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_philosophy 12 Art The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art 1 Like 1 Share |
