And what is your God doing about it? Watching as usual?

algomachine:
Doesn’t change anything in my opinion. If you don’t invent anything and only consume, the inventor dictates everything.

Ignorance is not a bragging right. Go read your history.
Most every day things you use were actually invented by a Black person. White people know this. Their strength is in Ignorant Black people like you.

Why are this people so full of fraud?
It must be in the gene!

Stephen0mozzy:
You conveniently slipped LOVE.

The issue being discussed is idol worship in Christianity. That was what I stuck to. Love was never the ITEM till you mentioned that.

Now, about love, every religion, for thousands of years have preached love. Christianity only started preaching love 'Yesterday'. The Biblical law for inter-human relationship had always been AN EYE FOR AN EYE.

Stephen0mozzy:
My own Christianity was never a denomination. It doesn't even need to be recognized.

You learn about the life of Christ from the Bible yes, but you don't assume the Bible is an infallible manual, where every word is fact and literal - there's a lot of nuance to its interpretation.

But the greatest book of all, is the Conscience we have, and the golden rule - LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS AS YOURSELF.

Guess who is Love? God.
Guess who we got pur salvation through because of Love? Christ

It's good you said 'Your own Christianity'.
Well that your own is insignificant in Christianity. The Catholic Church is still the largest Christian church in the world.

About the fallability of the Bible, why would a God-inspired Bible have such nuances when it's purpose is to guide believers.

Conscience isn't the same for all. This alone makes it an unreliable guide for all.
My conscience may allow me beat a child with a rod and injure him, while I may feel good that the injury will remind him never to repeat that wrong, your conscience may only let you talk to the same child through councelling.
Conscience doesn't provide equity. It only helps in moral compass. However, people are endowed differently with it.

Stephen0mozzy:
Because the Catholic Church, by the "anointing" of the Roman emperors had the power to harmonize the Christian Faith.

However, what is equally documented is that Protestants (Martin Luther) challenged the obvious heresies of the Catholic church, and that led to a splintering into other denominations over time, thay didn't agree with the Catholic doctrine.

That rain falls from the same sky, doesn't mean that everywhere it falls on is drinkable.

What you have just explained is why I should only consider your own splinter of Christianity as the real one and not others like the Catholic Church.
You earlier noted that Christianity doesn't even need a book. Really?
Where did you get to know about Jesus from? What is meant to shape your belief in a saviour? It is written that the Bible was by inspiration.

Stephen0mozzy:
You're mistaken Catholicism as the umbrella body of Christianity.

There is no mistake there. Other denominations and creed have their roots in the Roman Catholic Church. That is historically documented.

Really. Christianity is the real idol worship.
Hypocrisy at its peak.

FitCorper:
Another Igbo entrepreneur. Hope it’s not Invictus Obi in disguise.

No. It is your Hush puppy in disguise.

This is very commendable and must be encouraged by all.
We must go back to our rich roots.

One of the best gentlemen who ever governed any state.
One terrible mistake OBJ ever made was not supporting Donald Duke to the Presidency when he had the choice. He said he was too sophisticated for Nigeria. See where we are now!

osuofia2:
What brought about those useless Nigerian leaders you are mentioning, is Mugabe better than them, why didn't Mugabe hand over power to another zims, he wanted to hold on to power till death, Greed.
The West never supported Gadafi but he made impacts in the lives of the Libyans, can that be said of Mugabe?

You are all over the place.
It is on record that Mugabe successfully redistributed the much needed lands to their rightful Zimbabwean owners.
The Ghadafi you mentioned, was he not called a totalitarian evil leader by the West. Why did they kill him?

osuofia2:
Mugabe was a dictator like Paul Biya and other sit tights African leaders, He was the president of Zimbabwe from the year 1980-2017, what legacy did he leave behind, He was the old and useless and still held on to power, he refused to hand conduct elections and hand over power, you all will keep blaming the West for everything.
SA that the White people Stayed back , can you compare the rate of development in terms of economic and everything to Zimbabwe? Many Zims are all over SA doing menial jobs

If you had a proper understanding of what the world actually is, you'd swallow your own words.
It's there in plain sight if only you could see.
GoodLuck Jonathan was called weak and was hated. The West, particularly the US Govt. supported the APC to demarket his administration and defeat him. This was because he tried to develop the country.
Buhari, who was a terrible rudderless leader leader was never criticized. Weapons were sold to him.
How many times have you heard the West criticize Tinubu for bad leadership or terrible economic outlook?
When you are mature enough, you will see and understand.

osuofia2:
Mugabe that chased the White Farmers from Zimbabwe, He ruined the country after the White left,

Be quiet! You have no understanding of history.
Mugabe was one of the least corrupt people to ever rule any country. He didn't ruin the country, rather, the West decided to place multiple economic embargoes on the country because he decided to redistribute Zimbabwe lands to the Black owners - infuriating the West.
After several attempts to assassinate him, Mugabe told the Western powers that he cannot step down for their stooge. That was why he stayed in power for decades, true to his words.
The most educated and intelligent head of state ever. He had several Degrees.

bixton:
What is the proof of that in this modern day Africa?

What proof do you need that is not already documented in History books and ancient manuscripts in Libraries?
Like I said, seek knowledge, then you'll know.

MufasaLion:
Every time, I always get this validation and conviction why great men of both science and religion were never BLACK.

Wrong.
All great men of Religion and Science were Black. Ancient civilization started here in Africa. You just have problem with reading.

Which accountant! Is it for drug store?

Both you and Buhari don't love Nigerian. Infact, you hate this country.

Useless thread. When we have important issues of serious concern in Nigeria.

USELESS STATISTICS OF REVENUE COLLECTION WITHOUT PROGRESS TO SHOW.

Tinubu should be around 1.5%. Mainly supported by South West. Go figure.

I will give it to Sowore. His persistence isn't easy to come by.

b0rn2fuck:
The westerner will not see this one but na to dey disturb burkina faso up and down

Don't mind the Hypocrites.

LagosOrigin:
Only in Africa 😂😂

Stop the self hate.
How old was former US President, Biden?
I am sure you didn't criticize the US when old Biden was falling all over the place and forgetting things.
How old is Trump?
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.
Mind you, the West is also responsible for Biya remaining in power.

How about Tinubu's own certificate? Is it not in question?

Who sponsored him?
I thought Obi Cubana asked for his contact then?

What's the use of the Hospital when he can simply pray and heal them?

I know the next thing is to add another levy or tax to them, that's all this Government knows.
Tax tax and more tax.
It will always appear good and beneficial... Alas! Another form of Tax.
