Have you read any of Dan brown books

You mean the Da Vinci Code nonsense?
Dan Brown is a confused man. Being a New York best Seller doesn't mean reality validates your claims.
The man believes there's a supreme being, but decided to come up with fictitious puzzles to confuse weak minds the more.
I know him. Yeah, so what's about him?

Maynman:
They killed other “Christian sects” that are not part of the nicene creed.

Without crusaders, Christianity won’t have spread.

I don’t think there’s any religion that has killed more people than Christianity.

That's a fat lie.
How did King Solomon's name got to Africa, that the Queen of Sheba knew him? Was it by the sword?
How did the Ethiopian Eunoch in Africa got to know about Jesus and was eager to know more, until Philip was sent to him? Crusaders abi?
History has it that Jesus' fame went ahead of him to places that he didn't even reach while on earth. Who be Crusaders? Was John Welsley a Crusader? Was Fanny Crosby or Katherine Kulman a Crusader?
Someone ask prayed on his knees for God to give him Scotland or else he dies. A radical move that saw massive conversion in Scotland.
Or you mean Reinhard Bonnke of blessed memory was a crusader too. Or Kenneth Hagin of blessed memory, or Benson Idahosa of blessed memory, you mean they were also Crusaders?
Do you know how many millions of people converted to Christians round the world because of these men's expressions?
The numbers are still counting, irrespective of terrorists attack on churches and you're telling me Christianity no for spread if not for Crusaders.

This convo is becoming stale.

Mccullum:
NATO was founded in 1949 because of Russia,

Russia and NATO can't be partner till when this planet cease to exist.

The WW3 has commenced gradually as NATO expansion is the major factor that's

causing destabilization of Europe which will later spread beyond to other parts of

the world. Historically, 1st & 2nd WW started from Europe.

I pray for escalation of WW3 not to happen because of the fear of deadly weapons on ground.

No. Put it this way;
NATO expansion and Putin's "silence" is the major factor destabilizing the peace of Europe after Zelensky decided to attack quiet, peace loving and harmless Russia on Russian soil.
You're doing well.

Drenimarcus:
If you need 32 nations to defeat one country, then you are not strong enough. Still not a match for the Russkies.

Na so. Shifting goal post to the nearest junction.
Putards. You guys can never disappoint.

Kai, Umanah..
Old thieves.

snookcg:
What big bang!? Even the big bang is subject to debate and are backed by questionable theories and practicals and has been changed by new evidences and items taken from the moon. Make una dey watch una DStv Discovery channels well. Every chemistry physics of this world is a subject to all new proven calculations and evidence.

That's why I asked someone here earlier on if he believes in science. They don't follow science closely. Recent discoveries, especially in astrophysics, have altered many of these crazy assertions that so called atheist are using as the best cards in their pack.

Maynman:
Heard of the “crusaders”?

Sure. I mentioned that earlier.
The horse riders with the cross emblem.

Science disputed Biblical accounts initially, not anymore after most recent discoveries.
If you read the Bible like a story book, you'll judge it like one.
Nehemiah and Daniel were contemporaries but if you look at the chapter arrangement you'll think they are 10 generations apart.
Between Genesis Chapter 1 vs 1 and vs 2 are millions of years apart. This agrees with science. Read on the gap theory.

Atheist have their will.
But I can't be too dumb to claim what I don't understand doesn't exist.
Everyone thought Dalton was right about atomic structures, cos his assertion appealed to basic human logic. A greater scientist, Einstein checked in later and discovered a concept about the electron cloud. A fact that defied logic. That an electron can be present in more than one point in an atom at a time. Does that make sense? Of course no.
Bats (not Tinubu), fly by the aid of reflected sound in frequencies that our ears can't detect. Do I then dispute that because I can't hear it? Stupid.
You only have five senses to detect and respond to the vast features and elements of creation.., and you want to boldly summarise what reality is by your limited perceptions?
Stupid. Absolutely stupid.
If you're an atheist and you believe in your doctor, then you're a clown.

Spicyneedle:
If these arguments are to go on till another 100 centuries we won't still find the right answers.

But here is the true facts
You can't be a deep thinker and read the bible and the stories and not question the existence of God.

What is the fate of these deep thinkers?
Most of them became atheists and some their views about God changed.

But does that mean God doesn't exist?

This is a question you either answer by yourself or let the religion you are brought into answer it for you, you should know what the later means "mental slavery"

Yeah, thats when you read the Bible down side up.

Angel55555:
This is where most folks get it wrong, the Spanish and Portuguese who invaded and conquered SA were military officers or "gold seekers" who were acting on orders of the King of both Spain and Portugal, nothing religious about it.
It was after the invasion that the church decided to spread Christianity and also educate the natives.

Its still the same thing I stated. RC is more political than religious, birthed from the papacy of the Vatican, the centre of Pagan worship of the goddess of the sun..,They churned Christianity with pagan worship into a blend of doctrine as well as a political order that was spread by the military might of Rome.
Christianity already had its momentum way before then without violence even up till the time of Emperor Nero till today.
Colonization was a political move rather than religious. You're right.

LienwaltAbel:
And the natives of places where the peaceful Christian colonisers arrived that didn't accept religion, what do you think happened to them? Besides old Christian sects like the coptics in Africa, and the Church of Antioch, the foremost Christian sect was the one established after Constantine converted. Do note that:
The Roman empire at the time was a large empire that occupied much of Europe and north africa, so when Constantine converted, it allowed for easy spread of Christianity;
Roman empire at the time was frail and was about to fall apart so Constantine needed Christianity for a sort of unification amongst it's subjects.
İf this isn't colonialism's hardwork, i don't know what it is.

Islam didn't convert everyone they conquered. Andalusia ie modern Spain and Portugal can attest to that. Non Muslims had to pay a form of tax or convert to avoid taxes. Guess what, when the Moors finally left Andalusia, Muslims and Jews were forced to convert or we're even q

Good findings.
Forceful expansion wasn't and isn't a Scriptural doctrine for Christians unlike islam . Colonialism wasn't driven by the quest to spread religion. Religious influence just like cultural influence, was a by product colonization. Its different from the case of what fell Constantinople and the Usman Dan Fodio quest to spread a religion.

wirinet:
Then you have not read how Peruvians and South American people were converted to Christianity. They were forcefully converted with guns and sword.

Sure, by the Roman Catholic political/military influence. The same Crusaders I talked about.
If you read deep about the RC you'll know why they're sometimes referred to as an occult group. They feign Christianity, but are into pagan worship, but that's another story for another day. When I say Christianity wasn't spread by the sword I'm simply talking about her ingrained doctrine of gaining followers and how it started.
Don't let it mix with the idea of how Islam spread.
Don't put them in a sentence.

beejaay:
From the view of our universe, life has no purpose... It is a continues cycle of creation and destruction.. The death of a start is the beginning of another star, the death of one tree is the beginning of another.. It is an endless transmutation of energy from one form to another.. If God exist then creation is just an amusement, like men creating toys for play..

I'll call this a poem. Flare of literature.
Dig deep into nuclear physics or ask a nuclear physicist what he thinks. Those guys now agree with the idea of a higher intelligence behind a complex design as the universe

LienwaltAbel:
Judaism isn't even close to being as popular as Buddhism. Buddhism has more than ten times the followers of Judaism. By the way, Islam and Christianity spread mostly through warfare and colonialism. Do some research if you doubt me. I don't want seun's antispam bots to come after me.

Christianity didn't spread by violence bro. At least Jesus didn't spread it with the Sword unlike Muhammed did for Islam. I know you're talking about the Crusaders. That was a political move by Rome to spread the occult Catholic influence. Same Rome that persecuted the disciples of Jesus Christ. The Colonial Masters came with religion and technology intertwined and they were willfully accepted by the Africans as superior to what they had already, in so much that the influence still lingers after the Colonizers had left. Christianity was spread with civilization through education by the early missionaries.
Its a different ball game from Islam that has jihad enshrined in the Quran. E no relate at all.

Buddhist are more in numbers compared to the Jews, yes they are. But so long as Christianity or Islam thrives, Jerusalem would ever be significant to both. That's why the Jews will always be relevant irrespective of their numbers.

Maynman:
You are ignorant of these topic, which dumb information are you giving?
Why you don’t research on what “theism” and “atheism” is, huh Chrestian and proud monolatrist?

You can't even spell Christian. Smh
Was just a waste of time.
All these juveniles

Maynman:
Theist means you BELIEVE in god/gods, when you go further to WORSHIP a belief you fall in these categories.
Im afraid you are a proud monolatrist.

I believe this conversation was for information exchange which should reflect simplicity and clarity in every sense. There are lots of people reading this post who would appreciate simplified terms than some historical "jargons".
You just stated what I stated. The last line, I don't think it's necessary. Keep It Short & Simple (K.I.S.S)

Maynman:
lol, you don’t know what “theist” and “atheist” mean.

Out of all the deities, only Yahweh was the one that interested you?

You're getting me wrong. Before most atheists became what they are, they would ve probably searched and tried different medium , researched on various ideologies to arrive at a conclusion, logical to them, that there isn't or aren't superior beings as origins or influencers of life.
I am a theist. An arrogant one, not an agnostic ( what I used to be as a Church goer before I did my researches to arrive at what I am and have right now) .
And why I chose Yahweh?
That's because HE'S like the Sun that's a pivotal Truth. Irrespective of your location or what you believe, you can see it reflect in your sky, whether obscured or vivid.
I researched on different religious scripts, on Bhuddism, Taoism and the Religions tied to Abrahamic beliefs. Only three of these all turned out to be most dominating in the world's history. Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Only these three have compatibility with science discoveries and are quite ahead of it.
Don't ask me how I narrowed it down to one.
Religious space is the last place I'll wanna pick an argument.

sundaygray:
Omo i observed the life, learned different religions sat down and thought about life in general and also, never had a spiritual encounter i have spent money, a lot of money for a spiritual encounter but no level baba.The lack of evidence just make me chill. Unless God appears and shows himself to me, no level

I think most atheist get it all muddled up when they start tryna trace their way back through a hole and a bubble...
I got to this point too, but it always ended up in my looking stupid, until I asked the question, "What is the purpose of life?"
That was when lines began falling in places and the puzzles began fitting, creating a vivid picture of the dimensional realities that hold existence together.
I never hated the idea of a Creator, I only had an open mind to learn

Wilgrea7:
While I won't exactly consider myself an atheist, I'm the farthest thing from religious, so I guess that counts.

My de-conversion story is a pretty long one. But to sum it all up, I became very inquisitive, and started to ask a lot of questions.

Those questions led to more questions, and eventually, after taking my time to learn more about religion, and about the universe, and actually taking an objective look at things, I realized there was not a lot of credible evidence for the beliefs which I previously held.

What's your view about Science?

chypotenti:
I am practically confused right now, which do I go for, A 50k job with a Fintech or a 30k job with a Bank?

Which of these will give you enough time to do other things for yourself?
If a 30k job is close to your home and is flexible enough to give your time for yourself its a better to have, than a 50k job in Lekki that takes your breath.
Lastly, you need a side hustle. Calculate how much at least you'll need to kick start your side hustle and save towards it on the long run.

NOETHNICITY:
Pastors these days go on pulpit just to attack Islam and Muslims.

I will continue to be proud of my Islamic background forever

While Muslims attack churches and burn their neighbours for blasphemy. You guys are doing well.
Go and search for the book "Seeking Allah, finding Jesus". Read it with an open mind.

**********
If you were born into any religion without you, at some point in your life, giving it a litmus test, then you're as good as the guy who goes to school because his friends are doing same.

For those of you who flaunt the " atheist " tag, I wonder why you ever believed your source; your mum, gave birth to you. How come you trust the physiological design and biological processes that brought you to being?
How come you deem it valid and yet believe the existence of the SOURCE of all these sources is a hoax? How come you trust science and doubt the existence of a higher intelligence that outlines the laws and fundamentals on which scientific discoveries are based?
Ever asked yourselves why religion, history and science are like a tree that looks deviated at the top but intetersects and aligns uniformly down the trunk? Because they all tend to point to the Origin; The SOURCE.
The SOURCE you don't believe exists.
Whatever you believe, is your opinion here and definitely, your destination in the future.

Righthussle:
Akuko ! Taaaa shutup!

Jehovah will change what ? Ehn ? Jehovah is arresting which situation? So Jehovah can arrest? Jehovah that watched the Owo killing without arresting the killers is now arresting what ? Wetin una dey smoke ?

See this pulpit bandit. Tell your Jehovah to change things now that a pastor is the vice president of Nigeria.

You just dey run your mouth anyhow because e sure for you say nobody go accuse you of blasphemy, come hang tire for your neck, abi. Continue.
Na like this Nebuchadnezzar start chop grass with swag.

The muscled woman on long gown is his wife ?







Over pumped with steroid.

In that case that's the family of future bouncers

Chijeep:
I really felt sorry for it but I can't touch it because I'm scared of it claws and probably it's also a wild bird.
Nobody dared go near because all of us are afraid of it.
Everybody was just snapping it from afar... lol
Some said it doesn't see in the day time and I think they're right as it closed it eyes and never opened till someone threw small stone at it and it ran into that corner behind.

That's someone from the village who lost signal and missed coordinates.

Lol

Mrtaye:
You're very correct sheer hatred for Yankee .. very sure he will choose a US Visa to his useless and docile Russia

Na their way na.

God1000:
Windhoek the capital city of Namibia is the second cleanest city in Africa after Kigali, the Rwanda's capital which is number one.

Gradually, African countries are is moving forward in terms of good infrastructure.

Cleanest, just like Lagos. Well I believe Tinubu and his agberos can give us something decent like this in Nigeria come 2023.
Talking from experience, these guys are very neat and have a strong taste for a hygienic environment. Imagine the pictures below with yellow, degenerating buses loitered all over the place for tourist attraction.
This is the kind of Nigeria we want, where one doesn't have to think or reason for himself. Our godfathers can help us reason and make decisions for us. Its not easy. Using the brain could be very tasking in this era, so we'll leave all thinking to be done by them.
And even if the OBIdient people laugh us to scorn and call us barbarians, we know deep within us that we're just Nigerians with a confused mind. Awa lokan.
Hehehehe

Mrtaye:
Shuu who is fighting who.....so a soverign nation like Ukraine should just cower to the threat of Russia meaning Nigeria can decide to attack Benin republic tomorrow and they will surrender

Ignore that guy. His hatred for America will make any meaningful conversation useless

Lordbinsmar:
Craziness dey worry you and your family.... What is going to be the reaction of the US if Canada, Cuba or Mexico decides to form military alliance with Russia.

Ogun kill you if you know fit answer the question.

Why are Russia's neighbour avoiding her while America's neighbour are aligning themselves with America?
Answer this question make Jehovah wey create Ogun save you from chronic stupidity.

Righteousness2:
The World is Earnestly preparing for wars, the kind the world has not seen.

The World is Earnestly Preparing for the Mark of the Beast, the antichrist, New world Order, one world government, currency, religion, etc

This already fractured world is one breath away from the Tribulation which means we are half a breath away from the Rapture!

I have been called everything from a conspiracy theorist to a Rapture nut looking to the sky for the appearing of our Blessed Hope. Well one of these days, this watchman will stop sounding the alarm because just as Enoch walked with God and was not, "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

Get Ready with the Watchman! JESUS Christ is Coming Quickly!! The RAPTURE will Happen when you least expect.

Prophet with a biased mind.
Run a check man, the spirit of a lying tongue could be upon you. Prophecy is supposed to be for reproof and edification. Not bitterness and destruction.

Mumusaphire:
I do listen to ur sermon, but I notice u do bias when it come to USA. Nigeria is worst than USA in all ways. They doing their things with law, or allow their citizens decide, while we doing our own coded.

No mind am.
