Ihedinobi: I don't plan to start a firestorm again o, Logicboy, but I don't know of any scriptures that say there'll be more people in hell than in heaven.
And your polychronic view of God doesn't make much sense. And your understanding of time is quite incoherent to me. If you take me up on these, I'll try to answer but I'll probably be slow because I'm otherwise engaged.

skillet: and macdaddy, i see ure in the habit of askin people to shut up if they have nuffin to say wheras u are so dumb, U should shut up as a favour to ur family at home cos wheneva u open ur mouth, dumb isht spill out.

has it occured to u dat this is now a discussion not just a topic? or u want to put the cuss in discuss? dont even try. read dat Bible verse nd see that Christians can also be dammed.

fizeul: Oga.. I never said christianity is not a religion o.. It is..and so is islam, and others. But if u view these two prominent religions as a way of life, if we adhere to their real doctrines, u'd realize our nature should be similar, we'd see good in everyone, and we'd encourage peace. And erm, no one is tryin to deceive anyone jare, u should have made up ur mind before u start reading na..

skillet: macdaddy, in response to ur mundane post, let me ask u a question is the word daddy a noun, verb, pronoun or adverb. dont talk like an illiterate. to u Christianity is a religion. thats okay by me. ure an ignoramus for calling me a deciever, that is also okay by me. go look up the meanin of religion and ask urself if ALL Christians u know behave religious. and as for who we want to decieve, obviously not u becos, right now, in the scope of things that matter, YOU DONT MATTER. so whistle.

davidylan: I have no idea how i missed this thread.

My2cents - creating a special section for christians will not solve any problem. I am opposed to it even more because at no time did Christ or the early christians try to pigeonhole themselves into an exclusive "sinners not allowed" Zone. Once this is granted, what differentiates us from the muslims we constantly decry as sensitive and intolerant?

fizeul: Bro.. Relax.. Even our bones will have rotten when the religion wakes up and realize the mess, when people will realize christianity is a way of life, not what u do in church (that invalidates most of ur argument up there). All people do in church now is to dance and contribute money.

veltany: A FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD. BUT GOD'S CREATURES AFFIRMS HIS.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND SITUATIONS LIKE THIS MUST HAPPEN TO CONFIRM THE WORD OF GOD.

FOR IN THOSE DAYS, (NOW) MANY DEMONINATION SHALL RISE UP AGAINST OTHER...(MATT: 24)

AND NOT ALL WHO SAYS TO ME "FATHER, FATHER" WILL SEE THE KINGDOM...

EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN-AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD..(JOHN:3:18)

AND TO ALL THAT BELIEVE, TO THEM HE GIVES THE POWER TO BE CHILDREN OF GOD...

NO WONDER THE WORD OF GOD SAID: "I KNOW MY PEOPLE, BUT MY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ME".
EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN-AGAIN, HE CAN

musKeeto: Isn't it possible the Big Bang created life elsewhere?

SimonAndal: Guys I've got this theory. It's kinda far-fetched, but just consider it for a minute: with the rate at which the US is releasing alien movies (Avatar, The Avengers, Thor, Prometheus, Man Of Steel), do you think they're tryna "prepare" us for something? Sorta "numbing" or reactions to their press conference that aliens have been among us all this while. Whad'ya think?

Ptolomeus: Yes, exactly.
Not only voodoo, but also the cult of Orisa.
The word "exorcism" is used by Catholics to set aside what they call "demons" in the case of traditional religions (where there is no Satan) is used to separate darkened spirits.
In the case of Christianity, which a sect devoid of doctrine, born of Catholicism, these rites have been copied so much of the traditional religions of Catholicism.
But in general, most religions accept the existence of exorcism as such.
My respects.

tobechi20: It is very real
...just pray ur sista is possesed by demon....take her to d church and u wil see 4 ur self..

I have seen one b4, the girl mouth wasnt moving but we could hear her speak what nobody could understand while they were praying 4 her.

U have been doubting God since, he did not react. DON'T TRY DEVIL OO

Delafruita: exorcism cannot in anyway be compared to the blabbery of christians.i have seen voodoo in action and i can tell you from my observation that there is strong evidence for exxorcism

Martian: Speaking in tongues is a prominent part of penticostalism, does this mean that the babbling sounds they make are actual languages?

Martian: Exorcism is real if gods and demons are real............................you're supposed to be an atheist.

lagerwhenindoubt: Now don't be soo harsh on Christians, there are quite a few with a sense of tolerance, understanding and intelligence. My favorite Christian figure is actually Jesus Christ able to differentiate between Self-serving Dogma and Relevant Divine Instruction (since the times of Moses), Embracing sinners and discerning Scriptural error from Scriptural Truth. I wish we had more Christlike folks on Nairaland

Delafruita: i have always wondered which is more confusing,the religion or its adherrents.the reasons for this arent far fetched
1. no religion in the world has as many denominations as christianity.
2. almost every sect has its own doctrine which it claims supercede the doctrine of others.
3. different sects have their own interpretation of different parts of the Bible.
4. different sects have different ways of "falling under the spirit".in some churches,its "blabbing in tongues",in some the "holy spirit speaks through a vessel"
5. some believe the old testament is expired while some dont
am sure others can add to the above list

ziggy zagg: 1. Christianity is not a religion
2.the old testament is not expired
3.the holy spirit does not speak only through one vessel

vedaxcool: Offcourse all you wrote addressed nothing! christ prayed to God to pass the cup over him, and when the cup allegedly fail to pass over his head he accused God of forsaking him! that is the gist, if he was to be a sacrifice he was clearly an unwilling victim in all this ballyhoo indeed!

MyJoe: No, I wasn't joking. Educate me on the existence at anytime of the practice of cannibalism as a cultural practice in Europe. Please mention names of communities and time period and cite your sources so I can verify.

Radulph of Caen, an eyewitness to events at Ma'arra in 1098, wrote, "In Ma'arra our troops boiled pagan adults in cooking-pots; they impaled children on spits and devoured them grilled." (1)

The chronicler Albert of Aix seemed to rank Muslims lower than dogs when he wrote, "Not only did our troops not shrink from eating dead Turks and Saracens; they also ate dogs!"

Guibert of Nogent, in his work Historia Hierosolymitana, provides more details on the incident of cannibalism at Ma'arra. There he notes that whenever the Tafurs who took part in the expedition discovered "scraps of flesh from the pagan's bodies" cannibalism was practiced with little discretion. According to Guibert, the Tafurs were well aware that the Muslims feared them because of cannibalism. For that reason, on at least one occasion, the Tafurs publicly "roasted the bruised body of a Turk over a fire as if it were meat for eating, in full view of the Turkish forces." Guibert notes that the Franks also practiced cannibalism, but they did so "in secret and as rarely as possible.

In Gough's Cave, England, remains of human bones and skulls, around 15,000 years old, suggest that cannibalism took place amongst the people living in or visiting the cave,[64] and that they may have used human skulls as drinking vessels.[65][66]

World War II

Many instances of cannibalism by necessity were recorded during World War II. For example, during the 872-day Siege of Leningrad, reports of cannibalism began to appear in the winter of 1941–1942, after all birds, rats and pets were eaten by survivors. Leningrad police even formed a special division to combat cannibalism.[97][98] Following the Soviet victory at Stalingrad it was found that some German soldiers in the besieged city, cut off from supplies, resorted to cannibalism.[99]

davidylan: macdaddy macdaddy... dishonesty is thy name.

vedaxcool: ^

And like I said he is fair representation of ur current psychological state! The thread I ask u to open is to find solutions to your current problems! And pls it is quit optional!

svelte8: Sorry, i took the matter lightly at first.
There are test that are performed to determine the sex of hermaphrodites., one of them involves scraping the inside of the cheek to make a smear to detect barr bodies.true hermaphrodites are rare. You either have a female hermaphrodite or a male i.e they may possess both organs, but internally they may have ovaries,etc.
But let assume the person doesn't even have the money for the test, he would have been living his life as a male or female. If he has been living as a male he should marry a female and vice versa.

vedaxcool: ^
That is fair representation of ur psychological state, I won't mind u openng a thread for me to provide counseling to ur distraught mind indeed!

fellis: I read that thread before.
It won't make any difference.
