Red Arrow: Well, it's her choice, all I know is that Christianity is not a religion but a way of life. The desciples were first called Christian because of their Christ-like lifestyle. Let's keep our fingers cross as events unfold.

truthman2012: @ OP

There is nothing to show that your writeup about those religions you are comparing with Christianity is authentic.

You cannot just copy and paste from the internet the story of people one cannot vouch for their integrity and you expect us to believe them.

Can you show us the Books of those religions, the authors, the Chapter and Verse and so on that point to your assertions? I mean we have the Bible for the Christians and quran for the muslims, what is their own?

Sarassin: @OP Christians will flay you alive for your post, but for what it’s worth, I do agree with a lot of your assertions, orthodox Christianity is essentially a melting pot of the various pagan traditions prevalent in its early days. It is a matter of record that Christianity came under severe attack in the second and third centuries from pagan intellectuals such as Celsus, who attacked Christianity viciously as just another pagan cult. Specifically early Christians were quite rightly alarmed at the similarities of their newly canonised texts to the various ‘’Hellenic’’ cults & religions that abounded, Parallels were drawn to Dionysus, god of the vines, of whom Jesus is clearly modelled after in John 15, and there were serious concerns about the Hellenic Jesus who appeared to be lifted straight out of Mithraism as you have outlined. (Tarsus, the home-town of the Apostle Paul was a huge center of the Mithra religion)

Faced with grave accusations that Christianity was merely a watered down copy of the older Pagan traditions, Justyn Martyr responded with the splendid assertion that Satan had somehow anticipated the career of Jesus and inspired the older pagan traditions to throw off Christianity! More importantly, he does not deny the charge. Irenaeus was sufficiently worried enough to write off several letters of apology to leading church organisations.

It appears early church fathers simply tore off the attributes they liked from various pagan gods and assigned them to Jesus, then subsequently turned around and promptly declared the pagan religion heretical !

ROSSIKE: Thanks.

Now can you tell us the original religion of your kinsmen here in Nigeria?

Empiree: The gods of badagry ko, the gods of Epe ni. Bullshit!

mahdino: No it's uncomparable and there is not a single copy.
People follow hearsay without really studying the Quran.

whatofyou: Killing mother rat and leaving her babies in the house is stupid if you want to rid your house of rats. Hell is a place prepared once and for all for Satan, his demons, and sinful humans. First comes the global acceptance that we cannot do without God, then the end comes. That new mankind will enjoy the world in rest or peace. Presently, we are in the times of false hopes of conquering the world, but time of sorrow is fast approaching.
Mithra is Lord

kizmartino: About the vatican wit mithra's presence dat i dnt know of*wil research more* but I do know dat d relics of st.peter nd odas lies below d vatican...not mithra's

Am sure u've read hw d jews plotted cospiracy against early early christians as it was d true religion..u sure know about Jesus' trial nd hw d Jews try to fnd wrongs..
U've read about hw Jesus resurrected nd came out of His tombs nd d story d soldiers @ d tomb told..nd hw they were paid to keep quiet...


Could all this b made up

kizmartino: You are absolutely wrong..

I think you need to ponder nd think well about d part u have chosen..

I wonda wht ur own pratice has to offer you..

As for d Jews,they've lost vision nd insight I dnt expect them to do any better thats d reason they will forever live in turbulent times

truthman2012: My brother

The source of the quran is questionable.

Muhammad was a man who grew to know the religion of his parents, Muttalib and AbduAllah who were pagans. He had no knowledge of the true God.

Who is Gabriel, who revealed to him something similar if not the same things his parents were doing in worshiping their god: the Kaaba and what they do inside it? It shows islam is a continuation of the religion of his parents.

Who is the Gabriel who pretended to be God's angel but established islam on the foundation of paganism and deny Jesus true identity?

dustydee: Ehen? @OP, you are joking, right?

ThankGod Edeh: Allah is not same as God. Muslims worship Allah while Christians worship God. Infact, muslims say there is no God but Allah.

tunshe: Alhamdulilah!

I am happy that she finally see that Islam is the best religion having practiced Christianity from childhood.

Islam answers all questions!

Be ready to hear lots of castigation,insult,critism ..........Its not new,thats the trend.

I can see a lot of cries,hahahahaha,Im just laughing at them. They use BokoHaram and other crimes to tarnish the image of Islam yet people who are sensible,logical and see beyond propaganda still embrace Islam.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world,learn about it and you will never regret you did.

I am almost late for Jummah

truthman2012: People love darkness more than light.

truthman2012: There is no basis for comparing the Bible with the quran. It is like comparing God with Satan.

The quran came through Muhammad who knew nothing about God and was deceived by Satan who pretended to be God.

Islam is similar to Hinduism, Buddism, religions known to be paganism. Satan is worshiped the same way under any religion name.

truthman2012: There is no basis for comparing the Bible with the quran. It is like comparing God with Satan.

igbeke: its hightime u stoped bn a slave and embrace Jesus. Only Him is the way, d truth and life.
btw dere are lots of alhajis and alhajas dat hav dumped islam for christianity and are doing fine. we dont advertising it. but u, even wen u are convinced dat dis convert is not sincere.

kizmartino: The story that Jesus appeared to only is disciple is very false..this was anoda means by d jews who didn't accept christianity to falsify its practice

donroxy: FolyKaze, I think it's High time I cleared your doubt,Confusion and Misconceptions on IFA Orientations and U can never decipher IFA Ideologies until U get closed to confirmed adherents .....


It baffles me on Nairaland when some Yoruba dudes equates ''baba-Alawo'' with ''Adifala''/''Abore'' ...... There is bigger difference between them-all ..... !!!


Before, I analysed further , Let me first and foremost correct this nasty mentality revolving in your brain that ''we are GOD'' ''Egberun era oo le gbe Suga a'' no,no,no ... You are just a tool, a kinda machine/robot created by Eledua (GOD) and your destiny(Software/Algorithm) is already embedded in your ''ORI'' that is why in Yorubaland we don't joke with ''Ori and Atelewo'' ... Ori divine your destiny,Atelewo divine what U shall do to fulfill the destiny(Ori) ..... !!!


Eledua is neither/Either a daddy nor/or monster but get something clear in your Head,FOLY, It/HE/SHE/Whatever such is ,is a ''Being'' and a profound one and a Totality of all Forces/Energy/power embedded in the Universe and Universe-Beyond !!!


FolyKaze, U may wish to note that You are Useless other than the Usefulness attached to you by fellow Human, like you, and Eledua itself/himself !!!.....


You are like Cartoon e.g Ben 10,Naruto,Tom and Jerry ......... All these characters aint Important in themselves other than the Importance their ''programmer and Viewers attached to them.... !!


The essence of the above paragraph is ''we are in a fake world'' and you have been left with ''consciousness'' and ''Intelligence'' in discovering your way back to the ''Real Zion'' !!!


Eledua got concerned with the Totality of your LIFE and whatever U do therein and U may wish to know that Non of your actions/Inactions have any ''Impact'' whatsoever on Eledua since ''it'' deosn't need your force/energy/et-all to exist and Subsist !!!



The essence of Eledua prohibition on Illicit sex and any other action is simply to protect your ORI against virtual contingencies .....!!!



FolyKaze, Goats among other animals and Plants are all Immaterial in the presence of Eledua ...... They are only useful for Human-consumption and Useless in other spheres/realm .....!!!


U may wish to also note that Humans are not the only beings created by Eledua we have some other beings too, whom are virtual beings, obscure to Human-Na.k.ed eyes unless ''Human with extra-Eyes'' (a confirmed Yooba Understand this) !!!


It has already been established that Among all the beings created by Eledua, Only Human is embedded with the best of the best level of Intelligence which we are yet to explore .... And FolyKaze, I am looking forward to who shall prevail when struggle for control ''may'' later exist between Human and Aliens !!!


FolyKaze, the difference between Adifala/Abore and Baba-Alawo is quite enormous , a baba-Alawo can not do without IFA and is associated with EVIL and/or Good possessions while an Adifa can do without Baba-Alawo also an Adifa can never be associated with anything Evil even If U strike them ,they won't strike back (Fi Ire sanbi,Fi Ire sanre) as such from the cloth they put-on ,it is always spotlessly clean(white) and Immaculate ...... Also is their Characters,Relationship,Engagements and other Behavioural attitudes .... Their essence is to keep providing solutions to everly present Human-Problems ... No Adifala will asked you to hurt others(Kidnapping,Ritual Killing) in order for you to prosper ......!!!


Dude, I can go on,on and on but let me see your rebutta first in determining how to proceed !!!



N.B U can not single-Handedly decipher all this unless you are tutored, IFA is one all over the world, we only tagged it what we tagged it based on Culture/Orientation, also it is so Esoteric as it is full of parables and could only be deciphered by Wizards (who are in Hierachy) and who always gathered together in AWO(Fraternity/BrotherHood) !!!


There are more,more,more and more FolyKaze !!!



An average IFA adherent would never Engage in Illicit Affairs/Engagement cuz He knows how such will affect his ORI ......

kizmartino: many controversies surrounding d bible was as a result of difficulties in passing down historical events nd records..

Yea..u are right to a certain degree

but d jews are just being blind to d truth nd fact ..
U cn imagin hw difficult it is for a stack jew practicing judaism to accept christianity hence they try falsify christianity.

okeyxyz:
No.1, that is not a christian doctrine. It is the Law of Moses.

No.2, Who are you to judge the moralities of many thousand years ago? What do you know about this societies you assume to judge over? What do you know about the biological, mental and social awareness and readiness of 10 year olds back then as compared to 10 year olds of today? Your positions on this matter are totally out of context in all ramifications of context. You seem not to understand why women marry later in life today because you equate the societies of today to that of thousands of years ago. You think it's all about age rather than social-economic preparedness and requirements. Bros, do some proper critique, then perhaps we can engage.

okeyxyz: Well, are animals spiritual entities too? Besides, the christian scriptures tell us that all of nature is faulty, hence the prevalence of se.xual deviation/pervasion(@logicboy, note proper usage )



The question is: Is he God? Did he create a particular sexuality? If both answers are yes, then shouldn't he be concerned that his creation is broken?



Well, Father and Son are male, no biggie, But who knows the nature of the holy spirit? In God, there is male and female, the female aspect of God is hidden to them who don't know God. This is principal to the mystery of God.



Marriage is not for everybody. There are people who for the sake of the kingdom will choose not to marry(and I'm not talking about catholic priests, they are just misled). Not choosing to marry does not mean staying away from sex. Sex must not be enslaved to marriage. Marriage is a permissible christian option, not the mandate. The ultimate is to live an unmarried life and still have right to sex.

No, people do not become bonded forever when they have se.x. But as long as you choose marriage, then you are bound (both legally and spiritually) to obey the laws of marriage, and you bear the rewards and punishments of such bounds.
