But when u use biblical figures, you making it the Christian's business. You specifically using Jesus /God/Job names for your work of fiction.

That makes it the Christian's business, so don't get ignored when christians respond. Don't expect Christians to respect your threads rules when you got no respect for them.
I just noticed you didn't add Lucifer to the names i used that are christian business..grin

what happened?

Lucifer (satan) not part of the bible and so christian business too? grin

Episode 5
THE PLOT



Back in heaven, the royal hall still buzzed and hummed with whispering murmurs as the question God asked Lucifer lingered on in the minds of everyone listening as though it was been played by a record made worse by the fact Lucifer was yet to reply.

"Like my servant Job, have you noticed my servant Job? A very righteous man in every way, faithful and good than every other person on earth"

Everyone was washed by curiosity.

Lucifer cleared his throat grinned with a silly look, he had just gotten an idea and that was to simply play a reverse psychology on God by reversing the question instead.

"So you think Job is pious for nothing? Have you not given him unimaginable wealth, a healthy good family, protection, good slaves, good and happy life, how then won't the man be pious?" He reeled out

the hall went on a roar of murmurs then died down again, God placed his hands on his chin in a serious thinking mood, he never thought of it that way and he was beginning to have some serious doubts about Job.

"I never thought of it like that" He finally said.

"You never do Father but check it, if because you blessed this man so much and he is faithful don't you see his faithfulness to you comes as a reward for the blessings you bestowed on him but simply take away these blessings and he will revert" Satan continued smirking all the way he knew it was working.

he continued "Permit me to show you this man is not all that pious as you think"

God sat back his hand still under his chin almost disappearing under his thick flowy long white wooly beards.

"Could he be right?" his mind asked.
"what if he eventually proves Job is only faithful cus i blessed him?"
"how exactly would Lucifer show me?
He mulled these thoughts over trying to place a finger on the situation.

The entire hall was now silent except for few clattering cutleries on plates as few downed some golded chicken, salad of eden.

Jesus watched on curiously without uttering a word, Jessel seating opposite was drinking some water.

Lindel kept twitching in his impatient way, always the most impatient out of all, he was particularly not down with the slow calm boss-like way God employed when he talked or the times he would be silent for long before giving a reply.

"Ok Lucifer, how exactly will you show me?" God probed further to hear Lucifers plans well.

"Give me power over everything Job has, his wealth, livestocks, slaves, children. Once i am through taking away all these, Job will totally renounce you before Dawn"

God leaned back towards his throne again, this is difficult but it seems a good plan to him.
Jesus' eyes were popped at the ridiculous request Lucifer was making.

God closed his eyes for a while in his usual solitude thought mode, then slowly opened them.
He peered through a huge screen manovision at the back of his royal court, could see Job and his daughter walking through the fields now, a golden ring on his finger, a belt of silver woven with silk, shiny leather sandals and a smile on his face.

"Ok lucifer you have my permission i put Job and everything he has in your hands but don't, i repeat don't touch the man himself" God finally intoned.

"What dah heck!!!" Jesus blurted out in total surprise and dismay.
"What the Bleep!!" Jessel's reactions wasn't any different as he spit out all the water in his mouth sub-consciously projecting his utter surprise.

Angel sachel looked on from beside the throne where he stood, his eyes rolled about in total disapproval and his body gestures betrayed he too found such permission to be absurd.

The hall murmured in totally surprise but nobody could question the almighty once he gives a command.

"How is Lucifer able to outwit father every time into his ridiculous plans?" One of the sons of God whispered to his brother beside him.

"I honestly do not know" the other replied opening his hands in an 'i don't know' gesture "it's almost like Lucifer turns Father into a simpleton when ever he comes up with his tricky requests, i mean who the hell would fall for this?"

Standing before the throne an evily smirk filled Lucifer's face, finally he's got another play thing to toil with back on earth.

He took a simple bow and backed away slowly going back to his seat where Jessel and Jesus were seating.

"what do you think you are doing?" Jesus queried with a stern face, Jessel was nodding in approval to the question.

"Relax Jeeeez!! Lucifer retorted

"Don't call me that, Jeeez is not my name"

"Oh sorry relax Jesus, you always too serious. . I am on a bet with father don't you see we are just trying to have fun here" he said grinning.

"and your idea of fun is toil with a man?" Jesus asked again.

"of course father enjoys it too" Lucifer replied.

"That is cruel you know" Jesus insistently came again.

"Yeah have you forgotten God wiped out the entire earth, babies, women, children included with a flood when he got really pissed off at them? Lucifer reminded Jesus.

"Lucifer that is different" Jesus intoned.

"Yes very different because it is far more cruel to blame your creations for having a fault when you made them faulty, fail at making something perfect then drown them all for being imperfect.. " Lucifer said

"What ever luc, just take it easy with Job now" Jessel chipped in as Jesus couldn't talk anymore.

"I intend to" he grinned with an ear to ear silly looking grin leaping in his mind for the coming game.

First the story is found in the Judaic tenarks originally its a copy and paste in Christianity..

If anybody should wail about the absurdity exposed in the book of Job it should people practising Judaism.

secondly 'God' is not the name of the Christian deity specifically, any deity can be expressed with noun.

Jesus --- is a name in mexico

Job ---- An edomite name..

By virtue of your beliefs if you'll find this work of literature offensive to your person or belief please DO NOT READ!!!

My johnny, i still can't thank you enough for the wonderful work you are doing here to free our youth from religious indoctrination. The time and effort you take in de-indoctrination of our youth is enormous. We need our youths to use their time, energy and innovation to chart our future instead of wasting their time only on religious activities. You remind me of the legendary Tai Solarin, he was responsible for my own de-indoctrination in the early 80's.

Let me add my on opinion on this so called "insert in the body juju". Even though we do not have the full details of the diagnosis of the doctor, so we can know the type of insect and where they infected the body, insects infecting the human body is no big deal. My best friend once had a big insect and (larva of some sort of fly), removed from his skin, it was huge. I think fly larva infecting the skin is fairly common in Nigeria. As for fully grown insects like cockroaches and terminates, i do not know, but i do know that the human body is capable of labouring a large number of parasites.

If a qualified medical doctor (a scientist) actually saw strange insects in a patients body and just shouted "juju", then that doctor should have his license revoked. Even if he was not curious enough to actually obtain samples of the insects for further examination, he should have at least reported the strange case to the Federal ministry of health and the world health organization to stop further infestations. If the world (human body) is being invaded by alien insects or strange disease, that is how a Nigerian doctor will throw his hands up and shout juju.
it saddens me really my boss, no wonder Africa is a laughing stock for the world in terms of medical science.

Even doctors who should be (applied scientists) also employ superstition in african something the world moved past hundreds of years.

I have done what i can to bear my thoughts, amidst all the childish rants that has befallen the thread i'm sure sane people know how to sieve sheer idiocy from points.

GrizzlyBear i have done my bit, forgive me if i discontinue this thread as it has been turned childish by irrelevant childish rants and unnecessary ad hominems.

I hope your quest for what is true illuminates you more, if you have questions for me reach out to me anytime

And there you have it. Invisible wall. Lol..so you relegate something to spirit land and wonder why you cannot makes sense of it. Have you seen a bullet proof charm before? If no, then you're just running your mouth. Am I right or am I right...

Let me help you out here. Certain charms are made of natural substance that is then ingested. It's more like an athlete using performance drug it increases his/her performance. Or someone who is on meth/bath salt and get superhuman energy. I don't know how it activates. Maybe by sweat,increase in heartbeat or adrenaline. I don't know. This charm has to be renewed periodically to update its potency. Now tell me where is the invisible wall.? Where is the spiri spiri...

Also, there are other charms that are worn as vest under clothing. That constitutes as a physical attributes to the charms. No magic involved simply science.

I don't know why someone who uses this gadgets would turn around and ask johnydon22 to shoot him somewhere in his body...

Only a man made God needs man to make itself known to man... haven't you always noticed.

All these theistic religions lay claims to the words of God but humans are the ones doing the talking and the writings.

How do the charms work, then? Bullets exert far more force than blades so why would the charms fail to stop blades? Guns are also a recent invention so are these charms that seem to be tailor-made to specifically stop bullets also recent?

What I see here is that OP probably saw a man who was wearing a bulletproof vest that could stop bullets but couldn't stop blades (which is exactly how kevlar vests work.)
seriously baffles me how people pull out unrelated semantics playing out something that doesn't mean anything.

Bullet proof vest automatically became western and juju bullet proof indigenous..

there is a total difference between someone wearing some kind of thick clothing and say

"this thick clothing has platinum inside and can prevent bullets from hitting me on the areas it covers"

and another coming out fully naked saying
"My skin is impenetrable by bullet, i have a charm"

Totally ridiculous

Even john in the book of revelation, john was describing a beast, the beast look like lion,horse, man, woman. John don't understand what he was seeing. He was only instructed to write what he saw , how much more canal minded men like you atheist. You guys don't know what you are doing, the devil is really at work hear.

Bros there's nothing to argue here...

When was the last time you used your own gun to shoot someone wearing a western bullet proof vest? When was the last time you physically observed someone wearing a bullet proof vest being shot point blank..?

I just want to understand...
First of all what exactly is western bullet proof vest? ... here is the difference.

-One vest is physical, shows tendency to catch bullets in certain covered areas and never for once claims a skin is impenetrable.
-the other is not, just claims impenetrable skin.

so how then can one compare a bullet proof vest and bullet proof charm. . .

If one is wearing a vest, we all see it that he is, just like me hiding behind a concrete wall from a bullet.

but here you are claiming an invisible wall, impenetrable bullet proof skin, and i don't even see how necessary it is for me to engage in such stark absurd squabble that honestly bears no point at all. none

That's where you're wrong....

Bullet charm is not something you utilize and ask someone to shot you in the head. Bullet charm is to preserve during battle, it does not guarantee the user a win. When you see someone that has been shot and escapes, they're in serious pain, their only saving grace is that the bullet did not penetrate.

For example, do you walk up to a man putting on a bullet proof vest and ask to shoot him in his head. Even western bullet proof vest are not tested with high caliber weapons.
Tell me how a bullet proof vest is same as a charm... you see i am not here to argue over any of this juju nonsense.

when ever you claim to be bullet-proof by charm i will definitely get my own gun. point to me that exact area your charm is effective and i will shoot at it lets see how it doesn't penetrate .

Arguing over this bullshiit will be the last thing i'll do here.
Christianity Etc › Re: On the Supernatural & Juju (Black Magic) by johnydon22(m): 9:28pm On May 13, 2016
GrizzlyBear here is your second story

Growing up, I lived close to a popular university here in Nigeria, and one day I witnessed a cultist attack on a cult member of another cult group. Right in my
presence this guy was shot multiple times with a pistol and the bullet didn't
penetrate his body, it was not until his pursuers caught up to him and after
realizing their guns were useless, they used a machete and cut him with it till
he died.
Now, how was this guy able to withstand the effect of bullets?
Now from this story the bolded part actually suggest that he was running and they were shooting and such unstable action as running you think cannot disrupt a shooting target?

here is my own story :

I live in a ghetto rugged part of Enugu so i'm pretty familiar with cult activities and all so i can relate to your story.

there was once a time some cult members were chasing another and were shooting at him but the bullets weren't penetrating.

Why?

The bullet seriously missed it's mark

Someone running at the same time shooting at another running has a very high chance of missing it's mark.

How then was the machete able to do it?

Are bullets not still metal as machete?

If your body is impenetrable by a piece of metal moving at almost the speed of light how then was one that is as slow as a human hand can penetrate?

That is absurd.

Missing the target doesn't equate impenetrable target.

I have always told people when ever you see someone claiming invincibility to a gun or machete, get your own gun place squarely on the fore head and do the test yourself.

Be ready to go to jail for murder

GrizzlyBear:
As I was perusing through NL one day, I came across a thread where a doctor on NL shared the tale of a girl was brought to the hospital where he worked and this girl was said to have been complaining of extreme stomach ache. When a scan was done, the doctors noticed something that they hadn't seen before- There were live insects seen crawling around the walls of her stomach and internal organs. According to the doctor, there was nothing anyone could do about her condition and after few hours, she died. Now, under medical cross examination, there was no explanation for how these insects found their way and were able to survive inside her. This girl was said to have been inflicted by the person she had sex with trough Juju, supposedly for money rituals.
If a supernatural force from where whosoever did this evil to the girl drew his power from didn't exist, then how was this possible?
This story in particular saddened me to my marrows, because such instances actually happens in our medical arena, it is a pointer sadly to how backwards, retarded and imbecilic Africans can be even the supposedly educated ones.

Any doctor who thinks an ailment is juju because he has no idea what is going on should be stripped off his certificates because they are completely useless and his years in universities wasted.

When will people learn, ignorance is not a gap that should be filled with an absurd assumption.

That he has no idea what happened means he don't

But i'm not surprised since you even mentioned it was a NL doctor ...

Now let me tell my own story..

Going back like 600years ago in the medieval era, superstition was prevalent in europe just like it is now firmly grounded in Africa.

Once upon a time during this time in the history of Europe, the doctors of that era actually thought Epilepsy was a demonic attack.

Now 21st century, doctors do not think that, we now know better except of course some imbeciles in white dress seating in some African hospitals.

It is a sad reality that some doctors in Africa has turned medical practice in Africa into a voodoo diagnosing point, a laughing stock in the global scale of an incredibly civilized and informed 21st century world.

Left to such persons we would still be thinking Epilepsy was a demonic attack, or H.I.V as a result of village people attacking someone.

Tell me is that the type of world you'd like to live in?

A world that backwards, primitive and crude?

Where some illiterates in white dress (Some African doctors) suggest juju, in saner climes they would be working tirelessly day and night in the lab to find out exactly what is going on and possibly when that is achieved find a cure thereby saving millions.

Human body can harbour a whole lot of parasites, rationally it is possible a certain type of insect can be one of such too.
Can't the egg of such an insect be ingested through contaminated foods? thereby hatching in a hosts body?


It was a strange sight for the doctor, but it was actually a call for study to find out what really is and not conjure the absurd notion of juju to fill a gap of ignorance.

Even though the story seems very vague to me as the type of scan was not mentioned, the type of insect either i'd not touch that.

Now a word of advice from me
Believe what ever you want, juju/magic, jazz but any day you come to a hospital for diagnosis and the doctor says.

"Uuuhm young man i can't really find out what's wrong with you, its strange and i don't understand it, i think or strongly believe it must be juju"

Please my brother, take your shoes, dust them and run for your dear life..

Episode 4


And so it was, on a very dim local clusters of galaxies in some lonely small corner of the universe. There a galaxy stood amidst a thousand others, an average lone island universe swirling dancily along a collective monstrous lot.

It was called the Milky way galaxy.

Deep within this island Milky way universe, countless suns live with likewise countless planets orbiting them.

In a very remote corner of this galaxy, beneath the intimidating number of suns around there is a sun, averagely yellow with planets orbiting it too like others.

Within this system of sun-planetary relationship, a small very small planet danced gravitationally amongst others, it was very small when compared to it's sun and other big neighbour planets but was unique in it's own special way.

Glowed pale blue like a soft small ball of marble, calm and silent with an invisible string holding one moon perpetually wedded to it, though seemed silent and beautiful deep within a troublesome lot thrived.

Humans! that small beautiful planet was home to the Humans, a race of curious stubborn egoistic and worrisome beings, who are known for their headiness and strong will though vulnerable, limited and sad but all in a beautiful way.

Earth it was called.

Deep within earth, several continents of varying sizes existed, large mass of land so great that it's vastness exceeded the mind.

In a small middle eastern region, a small corner of Edom in the land of Uz there lived a man called Job

A wealthy man

Job was a righteous and upright man unmatched in character and piousness by no other being on earth, he would give alms to the poor, helped the needy and accommodated all and sundry.

Job was an exceptionally rich man in the same way, he had Seven Sons and Three daughters.

The wealth of his time measured in livestocks, gold and precious possessions.

Job owned a whooping sum of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys and a very magnanimous number of slaves in his conglomerate.

His sons ran different sections of his business empire and his wealth reflected in his amount of gold, food stocks and living conditions.

His wealth was so great that his sons had each a turn to host a blasting party with his brothers and sisters, Job being a righteous man also made sure he maintain and taught them the essence of piety.

Today Job woke up with a lingering headache, he rubbed his eyes and looked around faintly taking in everything. The room was exceptionally large with flower decorations, a large bed with silk bed spreads imported from Egypt.

Beside him his wife lay still fast asleep, Job always knew his wife to be a very deep sleeper who loved sleeping till past early morning.

Wife of a wealthy man, she has no worries.

He smiled to himself then stepped out of bed stretching his entire frame with complimenting cracking response from his happy joints.

The table was already set with breakfast before Job came out of his bedroom, it smelt fresh from the pots and he loved that.

But being a righteous man Job had other things he has to do first and fore most, like the morning devotion and sacrifices to God, inspection of his stocks and he also has to wait for his wife to wake up so he had to add other activities to while away the time until she rouses from sleep.

Luckily today exceptionally she woke before he was through with devotions and sacrifices.

In the dinning, he could see through the window one of his daughters, his first daughter actually was walking through the fields, he could see the grasses and olive tree branches dancing gently to the calm serene morning breeze outside.

She was fair, recently turned 17 and her beauty was shouty, a reasonable tall height and he loved her most of all his children having been the one that always stayed around him, loved talking with him and listen to his tales of the good old days.

She was of marriageable age now and he knew soon she'd have to leave his house being engaged to a fine young man from the western province of Edom, Krom.

His father was a noble man, a government official but also honourable in his dealings and a very good tall respectable young man for a son.

Job couldn't be any more prouder of his daughter, it was a perfect choice of husband.

He looked around, his huge wealth smiled back, prosperity, health, good healthy family, a beautiful wife, beautiful daughters.

In fact life couldn't be any better.

Job smiled to himself, honestly life is good and the coast is as clear as a bright sunny day.

But an unsaid doom swayed, a tingle of an undying arrow of sorrow hung on like a perfume.

His throbbing headache was on again, in all his happy thankfulness of a good life It never occurred to Job that he has cropped up as a subject of deliberation between God and his Sons in the heavens.

The stale cloud of an untold disaster lingered on in a shadow masked by the light.
