Rashduct4luv: No mod will ban you. They will just leave you in your senselessness.
Atiku that condemned the act is a Muslim!
Sultan that condemned the act is a Muslim.
Just because a few Muslims did an act then all Muslims must pay for it right?
So much of the Christlike attitude we see everyday on Nairaland! The real question is what level of accountability do they face to dissuade them from such acts? It goes on so blatantly and frequently it seems there is no bounds to what will happen to anyone one facing an accusation of blasphemy in the North. |
NYSC › Re: Deborah's Murder Reminds Me Of My Service Year In Yobe by LordReed(m): 8:24pm On May 13, 2022 |
merit455: Deborah's murder reminds me of my service year in Yobe state as a youth corper.
I can't forget that experience in a hurry and I keep asking myself why these Muslims can so misinterprete issues to suit what they are planning to do.
We had a certain female Corp member from Delta state, she likes painting her lips like � and putting on trousers. Unknown to her she became the subject of a serious hatred and an apparent plan to kill her was in the pipe line.
You know these people have a way of coordinating their murderous acts, it's a chain that includes the high and low in their society.
So corper Blessing was teaching one day in class and a particular student was busy distracting others, she tried to caution the boy and get him to concentrate but boy keep disturbing the rest of the class, Unknown to her, that was the trap. The said boy was writing in his note book and kept tiring them out, so when she went to the boy's desk, she picked up the pieces of paper and threw them away. The boy stood up and left the classroom.
Boom! Not upto 30mins, another teacher came to Blessing and asked her why she would desecrate the coran, she was so surprised to hear that and decided to ask the teacher where she got that kind of news. To cut the story short, the teacher asked Blessing to leave the school premises immediately else she would be kill.
Blessing quickly left the school to her lodge where she told other corp members what had transpired in school. As she was still speaking, a large crowd of Muslims youth were charging and chanting towards the corpers lodge with sticks and knives, they corpers quickly ran towards the gate to lock it , at that point it became a back and push in the gate as the knew that if the youth gained entrance into the place, they maybe more casualties. This happened in Potiskum.
At that point, calls where coming into to the zonal office for help, I was one of the corper rep in the zone assisting the ZI and LI, the ZI, a Yoruba man quickly called the police, there was no action, he called the army, nothing happened, we started praying for God to intervene, we were asked to go see the Emir, we did, but you could sense the whole town was waiting to hear that Blessing had been killed before action would be taken.
What shocked me most was that our LI, a Muslim was so furious, saying she deserves to die for desecrating the Quran, but thankfully our ZI called a Army topnotch in the south east who had to call the yobe command. ( I don't know the process but it was so fast), military personnels came in two vans to take us to the location of the corpers, you won't believe the crowd, youth wielding sticks, knives and a tray but when they saw the military they started running, all the corpers members were evacuated, the two vans couldn't take everyone, so most of the soldiers has to walk beside the vans for us to get out of that place to the zonal office.
We started wandering how writing quranic citations in a piece of paper or a notebook made the paper or notebook a quran.
As the madness was going on in the town, I was given one of the worst task of my life as the ZI mandated me to snick Blessing out of the town.
While concern people where coming to find out what happened, I took Blessing through the backyard, and then out of the gate, picked okada towards Damaturu with Blessing looking completely different (her lips cleaned and dressed like a northern girl with her head covered) and crying profusely. We succeeded in sending her to Damaturu and that was her last day in Potiskum as she completed the remaining part of her service year at the state headquarters.
This religious misinterpretation must stop forthwith. Deborah death is one of too many cases of religious extremists and fanatics taking the lives of innocent people. I will never understand why people lie in the name of their god. How does that make your god acquire more prestige? How does lying enough to kill someone over make your religion more supreme. Au contraire, it makes your god sound powerless and your religion sound reprehensible. |
Islam › A Select List Of Times Muslims Killed People For Blasphemy In Nigeria by LordReed(op): 8:19pm On May 13, 2022 |
1. On 12th May 2021, a Nigerian Home-Economics student was killed after She allegedly made blasphemous statements about Prophet Mohammed in her class's WhatsApp group. 2. On 9 August 2008, a Muslim mob in Kano state beat to death a fifty-year-old Muslim man who blasphemed Mohammed. 3. On 9 February 2008, a Muslim mob rioted in the town of Sumaila in Kano state. The mob acted upon the alleged distribution of a leaflet that allegedly slandered Mohammed. The mob killed a Christian police inspector and two civilians, and wounded twenty others. The mob set fire to vehicles and destroyed the police station. 4. On 28 September 2007, a Muslim mob rioted at Tudun Wada in Kano state. The mob killed nine Christians, burned several churches, and destroyed the homes and businesses of some non-Muslims. The Muslims complained that Christian students had drawn a picture of Mohammed. The Christians reported that the violence erupted after they had prevented one of their members from converting to Islam. 5. On 21 March 2007, a mob of Muslim students and neighbourhood extremists beat to death Christianah Oluwatoyin Oluwasesin, a mother of two and a teacher at Government Secondary School of Gandu in the city of Gombe. A student complained that Oluwasesin, a Christian, had touched a bag which allegedly contained a Quran, and had thereby defiled the Quran. 6. In February 2006, thousands of Muslim rioters went on rampages in different states. The rioters burned churches, torched Christian shops and homes, and killed Christians. The reason for the violence was ostensibly outrage at the publication in the Danish magazine Jyllands-Posten of cartoons that some Muslims consider blasphemous. 7. In February 2006 in Bauchi state, Florence Chuckwu, a Christian teacher, confiscated a copy of a Quran from a pupil who was reading it during an English lesson. The incident provoked rioting by Muslims. The riot killed more than twenty Christians and destroyed two churches. 8. On 20 November 2002, Muslim and Christian mobs rampaged in the cities of Kaduna and Abuja. The rampage began after an article in a daily newspaper, Thisday, suggested that Mohammed would have approved of a Miss World pageant that was taking place in Abuja. Thisday columnist Isioma Daniel wrote that Mohammed would probably have taken a wife from among the contestants. Muslim mobs accused the newspaper of blasphemy, and burned down its office building in Kaduna. Then the mobs attacked churches and properties owned by Christians. Christian mobs confronted the Muslim mobs. Soldiers and police intervened. About two hundred and fifty people died. Isioma Daniel fled Nigeria ahead of a fatwa that called upon Muslims to kill her. 9. On 14 July 1999, in the village of Randali in Kebbi state, a Muslim mob beheaded Abdullahi Umaru. The mob accused Umaru of blasphemy against Mohammed. SOURCE |

But Islam has refused to change with time. It's still very barbaric. Beheading, crucifixion, amputation stake burning (something that christianity ended centuries ago) WTF is wrong with Islam and why hasn't it changed over the centuries. Pls the islamists in the house should answer and not tell me its a peaceful religion crap and those doing it are sinners Because they are better at maintaining a hegemony and closing ranks when the need arises. Also Christianity is plagued by division in ways that Islam is not. |

Notice how virtually all the “alien knowledge” is attributed to the ancient achievements of people with highly pigmented skin. It’s either that or they whitewash the images of these ancient people or attribute everything ancient to the Greeks, the founders of “western” civilization. True.

Christianity Etc › Re: The True History Of Humanity by LordReed(m): 11:05am On May 11, 2022 |
OurTruth2: Okay, you clearly haven't gone through my thread. You are just focusing on the post about megalithic sites. Like I said, my argument is broader than that. Please read further posts.
Could ancient megalithic sites that showed evidence of astonishingly advanced technology had been created by our human ancestors without any form of involvement with some kind of alien intelligence? Yes.
But the writings and stories of ancient cultures across the world from Sumer to Southern Africa, from the Indus valley to Southern America lay claim to a different account. They all claim to have been visited by or interacted with non-human beings who had advanced technology and these beings shared knowledge with them.
This is mirrored in the
• WikiLeaks John Podesta emails where Astronaut Edgar Mitchell and other correspondents clearly talk about receiving Zero Point Energy from Extraterrestrial Intelligences.
• Published claims about the back engineering of recovered Alien technology from crash sites in the past noteably from the Roswell Crash of 1947
• Even our own African juju men and shamans from all parts of the world receive technology(black magic) from non-human interdimensional beings who they all call their gods.
Time and time again, there is this recurring theme of transfer of technology from non-human beings to humans.
This thread is about establishing the fact that advanced non-human beings have not only been visiting this planet for thousands of years and have interacted with humans on different levels, but are still doing so, and I've posted evidence that supports this claim and I'm still posting evidence.
I don't think anyone would go through my posts so far and relate it with anything about a supposed inferiority to Europeans. I actually think I've accomplished the opposite. Someone commented earlier to my post about the moon girl discovered in the secret Apollo 20 mission and observed she looked black, hinting of a race of advanced human-like beings who looked like you and me. I don't need to read the rest to understand that you are more eager to accept that aliens are responsible for the feats of human ingenuity than you are to accept human ingenuity for itself whether or not you have a racial bias. |

Christianity Etc › Re: The True History Of Humanity by LordReed(m): 9:05am On May 11, 2022 |
OurTruth2: First of all, I don't think you've read my thread in it's entirety. If you did, you wouldn't be saying the things you are saying. The information concerning megalithic sites is just a small chunk of my argument.
The megalithic site I highlighted in my airlier post is Gobekli tepi. It's a site in Turkey and Turkey is region located in Western Asia and Southeastern Europe. Wouldn't me hinting at a possible non human involvement in the creation of the site be me not attributing it to Europeans since turkey is part Europe? So what exactly is your point?
About Stonehenge, there is a lot of anomalies concerning the structure as there is the question of how those huge stones were carved and moved to be placed in such an area. But just like I didn't expand upon the pyramids or other megalithic sites, I didn't go into detail about Stonehenge. I just focused on Gobekli Tepe and clearly stated that it's the best evidence I have gathered of advanced ancient civilizations that coexisted with us humans.
I didn't post this thread with any racial intent. I've always been speaking of humans as one specie. I don't care about race. I speak of ancient cultures who were most likely a mix of different groups of people. The information I'm sharing encompasses whatever reductive notion of race that you may have.
You need to stop interpreting this information through the lens of blacks vs whites or Europe vs the world. It more than that. Turkey is not really considered to be a European country. It is seen more as a Middle Eastern nation and at best is Transcontinental since it lies between mainland Europe and the Western Asia. You may not have a racial bias but the people you are parroting this information from seem to have. The few people who are willing to attribute anything European to aliens are on the fringes of their society so why would you gladly extend their considerably minority views to non-European ancient civilizations? Why are you finding it easier to accept the claim that aliens did it than you being happy to be associated with the accomplishment of your very human forebears? Do you accept that you are inferior to Europeans? So why would you accept that your forebears had no capacity to express ingenuity that is still awe inspiring in this modern age. To be clear, I don't accept these aliens did it conjectures because human ingenuity has done quite awesome feats so I see no reason to diminish the accomplishments of the ancients. They did awesome things based on the knowledge of their times and we should be proud of those feats just as much as we are proud of the feats we accomplish in this modern age. |

I thoroughly dislike hypothesis that attribute the accomplishment of ancient civilizations to aliens or non humans because to me it seems like an attempt to dismiss the fact those ancient civilizations are not eurocentric. Do you imagine if these structures were found in Europe, Europeans will allow you to attribute them to aliens? Stonehenge is a prime example. Most of the people like OurTruth/OurTruth2 who push these alien hypothesis don't say Stonehenge was done by aliens, why?
I don't see any value in attributing the accomplishments of our ancient forebears to aliens simply because we marvel at the ingenuity it took for them to accomplish such feats. |

Acehart: The bold texts tells me these: you are a soldier or you have uncles and aunts in the army and they all tell stores or you are all-knowing as you say “(all) soldiers love telling tales” or you are drenched in Hollywood war movies that you can’t separate real life from moving pictures. (Even Captain Miller in ‘Saving Private Ryan’ didn’t tell stories). Since you believe fictitious characters, why don’t you believe a fictitious Bible?
Be that as it may, the precautions taken at the tomb of the risen Christ consisted of three things - the large 2000kg stone, the Roman seal, and the guard.
1. The Stone
The Bible says that a large stone was rolled in front of the tomb of Jesus. On an average, it would take 100 men to lift 1000 pounds (453kg).
Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away (Matthew 27:59,60).
This stone, not only sealed the tomb, it also would have made it difficult for 300 men to come right in and steal the body.
2. The Roman Seal
The Roman seal was also placed over the tomb.
And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone (Matthew 27:66).
The seal was sign of authentication that the tomb was occupied and the power and authority of Rome stood behind the seal. Anyone found breaking the Roman seal would suffer the punishment of an unpleasant death.
3. The Guard
A guard watched Jesus' tomb. This was either the Roman guard or the Jewish temple police.
Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how." And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone (Matthew 27:65,66).
There is a question as to which one of the two groups was watching over it. The context seems to favor the Roman guard. The Roman guard was a sixteen-man unit that was governed by very strict rules. Each member was responsible for six square feet of space. The guard members could not sit down or lean against anything while they were on duty. If a guard member fell asleep, he was beaten and burned with his own clothes. But he was not the only one executed, the entire sixteen-man guard unit was executed if only one of the members fell asleep while on duty.
You don’t believe the Bible but you believe Soldiers tell stories. Funny.
Please, read the final work of Tacitus and give me your thoughts, omniscient one. This is funny. I responded to your post without any attack on you but you deemed it fit to respond with puerile condescension then tomorrow the likes of you will say atheists just love to insult.

Acehart: Do you believe every single records on what happened during the Crusades? Do you believe every single memoir of the Levants? No, however corroborating stories allow us to get a better picture of the events of that period. Soldiers love telling tales of their time in service something as wonderful as seeing angels would have been a big story if indeed it had occurred. Besides no way Roman soldiers would report to Jewish elders, that is totally absurd. More likely they would report to their centurions or legates and those ones would keep a record even if they didn't do anything to the soliders, the Romans where very meticulous record keepers. Also the idea that Roman soldiers would be detailed to guard a tomb is another rather unlikely idea. Unless the Romans thought his death or body would be used to forment sedition and according to the tale the Romans didn't suspect Jesus of sedition nor were his followers known to be a seditious bunch. |

Christianity Etc › Re: The Roman Guard | Evidence For The Resurrection by LordReed(m): 8:19pm On May 09, 2022 |
Acehart: One of the most intriguing pieces of evidence for the resurrection that is often overlooked is the facts concerning the guards that were to watch the tomb where Jesus was buried. I want to start with a little background from professor Albert Roper in the book, “Did Jesus rise from the dead?” Here is an overview of what I had read:
Led by Annas and Caiaphas, the chief priests sought out Pontius Pilate to request the tomb where Jesus was to be buried be sealed and that Roman guards would be stationed to watch it. Their fear was that the friends of Jesus would steal the body to give the appearance of a resurrection.
Pilate responded to this request, ‘You shall have a guard, go your way and make it secure according to your wish”. So with that request, about 30 of the Roman Guard sealed the tomb of Jesus after His body was placed inside the tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea. They rolled a stone that weighed about 2 tons (4000 pounds) and then sealed it with the Roman imperial seals of the procurator himself, which was the official Roman wax seal. Understand that defacing these seals was a very high crime. The Roman Guard would have held this in very high esteem. Their life depended on it and that is exactly why it presents compelling evidence for the resurrection.
According to tradition, Pilate had placed one of his best guards to lead the pack named Petronius. Their job to watch the tomb was to be as precise and faithful as the crucifixion itself. Honestly, they had no interest in doing this at all, but their sole purpose and obligation were to rigidly perform their duty as a soldier in which they made an allegiance. The Roman seal that was put over the tomb was far more sacred to them than any philosophy or creed of Israel. These are not men who would be fooled by timid Galileans or jeopardize their necks by sleeping on post.
George Currie states- “The punishment for quitting post was death, according to the laws. The most famous discourse on the strictness of camp discipline is that of Polybius which indicates that the fear of punishment produced faultless attention to duty, especially night watches”.
Think about that. You not being where you were supposed to be brought upon your physical death and torment. How does this ring true for YOU? It is tough when you are out of position, or not in the right spot. The torment you bring upon yourself, the death of your destiny…ouch.
Let us continue…There are 2 types of guards during this time. A Roman guard and a Temple guard.
The Roman Guard
According to the Greek and Roman Antiquities, one “Roman Guard” consisted of 4 men that rotated throughout the night. So two “guards” would be 8 men. One would stand watch and the others rested beside him to be easily woken.
The Temple Guards
Temple guards, specifically at night, were placed in 24 stations about the gates and courts. Of these, 21 were occupied by Levites alone. To put this in numbers for ya, that would be 240 Levites and 30 priests on duty every night. During the night, the captain of the Temple made his rounds. On his approach the guard had to rise and salute him in a particular manner. Any guard found asleep when on duty was beaten, or his garments were set on fire— a punishment, as we know, actually awarded. These men were not allowed to sit down, much less sleep.
Where was the Roman Guard on the Night Jesus Was In The Tomb?
If this is how tight the security measures were for both the Romans and Temple guards in general, how tight do you think the security measures were the night Jesus was put in the tomb? This alone is evidence for the resurrection.
French priest and historian, E. LeCamus stated “Never had a criminal given so much worry after His execution. Above all never had a crucified man had the honor of being guarded by a squad of soldiers”. Everything was done in human policy to PREVENT a Resurrection.
So just think of this. All of a sudden a great earthquake takes place. An angel descends from heaven and rolls the stone not just out of the way, but rolls it halfway up the mountainside. How would 12 men, do this type of feat, in front of all of these watchmen? Without alarming anyone? Anyways, the Roman guards saw this with their own eyes, and Matthew 28:4 states that were so scared they “became like dead men”.
The question is what do the soldiers do? Do they say someone broke the seal (who, if they did and had no one to point to, the soldiers would be punished to death)? Do they say they broke the seal(a crime punishable by death). Do they lie and say they fell asleep (also punishable by death), or do they say Jesus rose from the dead and bounced (blasphemy, which we know is punishable by death).
The Bible says that the Roman Guard came rushing into the city. They confronted the chief priests and told them everything that had happened. The religious leaders assembled together and gave a large sum of money to the soldiers to falsely accuse the disciples of stealing the body (false witness was also punishable by death under Roman law). They took the Money… They wanted to hide the evidence for the resurrection.
Evidence for the Resurrection – The Predicament…
Not only was Jesus not in the tomb, He then teaches people publicly for 30 days and there are over 500 eyewitnesses. The disciples now start preaching and teaching the evidence for the resurrection right in the region where it happened, while all of the opposers stood helplessly watching it all transpire. The enemies of Christ stood silent with no opposition to these claims…Why?
Evidence for the Resurrection – Why So Silent?
So let me ask this..if it were false or they were making it up…why so silent? If the Apostles were lying and made it up and started proclaiming this in the region where literally everyone knows what had happened, why not easily disprove this fictitious tale by just producing the body?
If the Apostles were lying, why would they start there where they could be easily disproved? Why wouldn’t they tell their lies to people in a different region who had no clue to what happened so nobody could dispute it?
I believe with this information above there is only one logical answer. That Jesus Christ…Resurrected. The Roman Guard provides just one piece of evidence for the resurrection. There are many more.
Johnny Eva- 2020 Why would Roman guards report to the Jewish leaders they had subjugated? Why would Roman guards who witnessed such a thing never have provided some independent corroboration after the fact? Like after their tour of duty in the Levant they didn't tell anyone back home? Seems very far fetched and unlikely. |
