Bluezy13:
The whites introduced Christianity to Africans. Africans think they are better Christians than the whites.
Funny world

that what you think

illicit:
If u confess today, u will still sin tomorrow....


So what's the point.



As long as u breath, u will sin one sin or the other.

But WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: That as sin hath REIGNED UNTO DEATH, even so might grace reign THROUGH RIGHTOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord

you have died to sin, how then shall you live ?

paxonel:
No power to love abi?
That one is not important

It is the reason why Africa will continue to remain backward, because love is never in their radar

you guys just love to say bad things about africa, as if you are not one, what has african done to atheiest ? any wonder why darwin talk of superior races. African are bless, the white admire our culture very well. indeed we are living in a generation without God .

DeusXmachina:
You all know that the use of the word peace here is fallacious.

Peace in that the root word for the name of the religion is from the Arabic Salam.

And peace in that you can find peace in the total submission to Allah.

But the ideology is far from peaceful and to say Islam is a religion of peace to be deliberately ignorant of its history.

An example of a religion of peace is Jainism. Where the most extreme practitioners of the faith become the least harmful people in the world.

they say peace and yet they use the word SUBMISSION. YOU GET PEACE ONLY IF YOU SUBMIT, UNTIL THEN ITS KILLED THE INFIDELS.

Rashduct4luv:
Allah says:
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.
(Qur'an 3:85)

Islam is the religion of all Prophets and Messengers of Allah. May the peace and blessings of Allah be on them all.

lies from the pit of hell

Surah 8:39: And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) AND THE RELIGION WILL BE FOR ALLAH ALONE (in the whole of the world). But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.

Realismailakabir:
In Arabic, Islām (Arabic: ﺇﺳﻼﻡ ) is the verbal noun originating from the triliteral root S-L-M, which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of wholeness, submission, sincerity, safeness, and peace.

Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets, including Noah , Abraham , Moses , and Jesus.

SUBMISSION
Your best source for Submission in (Islam) is "No other god besides Allah and Muhammad is his Messanger"
this sentence has a lot of credendum or credenda i.e I will seek no assistance except from Allah, i will rely not except on Allah, i will Worship not except Him, i will i would'nt do anything except because of Allah and etc... this is total submission.
[6:72]
"... and we are commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds"

[6:79]
"For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him (in submission to his will) Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah."

PEACE
This Peace also has alot of meanings also i.e PEACE of mind (knowing that Allah is in control of everything bad or good ) PEACE of Consideration: infact Islam consider every muslim to the extent that you may not fast on Ramadan because you have a Travel. PEACE of hope: Knowing that the suffering here on earth is limited gives you hope. (no wonder muslims hardly commit suicide because of depression) PEACE of oneness: did you know that i may travel to india today and not pay for hotel? Yes it is possible i may pray, sleep in any Mosque. We are big one family. And Et cetera.

[Surah Al-Baqarah:112
“No, whosoever surrenders himself to Allah (in submission) while doing good, he will have his reward with his Lord. There will be no fear over them, nor will they grieve”

Quran (2:208) : O You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace
[Islam]

(6:108)
And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides
Allah, lest they insult Allah wrongfully without knowledge...

The beloved Prophet said SAW
"You will not enter Paradise until you
believe, and you will not believe until you love each other... spread the peace among each other"

Jami at-Tirmidhi 1854: "O Mankind, spread peace and feed people..."

By Ismaila Kabir Al-salafy

Surah 8:39: And fight them until there is NO MORE Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion will all be for Allah Alone (in the whole of the world). But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do. (Hilali-Khan)

Muslims are commanded to fight until the only existing religion in the entire world is Islam. The fulfillment of this divine aspiration of Allah, demands nothing less than the extermination of all those who do not accept Islam. you get peace only if you accept islam.

The only reason why we are still alive today is because the infidel nations are still strong. The outcome will be different when Muslims have the “UPPER HAND” over us:

Surah 47:35: Do not slacken and call for peace when you have the UPPER HAND and Allah is with you, and He will not stint your works.

When I go in the name of another, I deny myself. I take not only the name of another, but himself and what he is, instead of myself and what I am.

The morality of Jesus was so far ahead of its time that 2,000 years after Jesus brought it to this planet, modern society is still no closer to attaining it. 'Go the extra mile . . . bless those who curse you ....... It is more blessed to give than to receive ......' Present day morality, with its crude focus upon observable behavior rather than heart attitude, is hopelessly primitive and out of touch with reality.

HigherEd:
First do not even assume that Oyedepo knows who freeze is. Oyedepo doesn't watch news and doesn't read newspapers or use social media. He's as traditional as it gets. National relevant news are relayed to him in the most very old fashioned way through his aides.
Even his children or wife knows not to bring this sort of discussion about an irrelevant freeze to him, you may not like the response you will get.

Mind you Oyedepo created 6,000 more churches in the most rural parts of Africa in past six months. His organization is growing like wild fire with growth exceeding his past nine years of ministry combined. That is the point he is making right there. If so called haters can't stop a person from expanding or growing their sphere of influence then they are noisemakers.


A man still thinking about creating the largest hospital in Africa, largest housing, largest cathedrals and still manage a wage bill shooting exceeding high in the excess of 5 billion naira monthly. Oyedepo knows these new things won't come from wishful thinking at his advancing age, it requires the application of his brain to learn and conceive, his time to execute. His attention (brain) and his time - the two things critics are demanding are those he is wisest not to give.

In 200 years to come, Freeze and his followers would be remembered by a minority of historians. Their relevance in history would be tied to how they successfully rode to fame by dragging highly successful clergy. Oyedepo's legacy would live on! His churches would continue to bless lives. His university system would continue to be at the fore of cutting edge research breakthrough. Hahaha read his vision 2032, he is just beginning his life at 67 when many of his accusers are already done with theirs at 30.

We know this why? Jesus was condemned - his accusers are today irrelevant and unknown. Same with Aimee Semple MacPherson, Kathryn Kuhlmann, Maria Woodworth Ether, Smith Wigglesworth, Oral Roberts, Archbishop Idahosa etc. Critics are spectators! In a football field, 22 people are fulfilling their lives and destinies while 50,000 are crying, rejoicing, wailing and cursing. In the end only the 22 would get paid.

RIGHT BRO , its been long , trust everything is moving fine ?

kingxsamz:
Seriously, how do you put food on your table?
You're always busy talking about how the world would end anytime soon, while the whole world and everyone around you is moving forward.
And how long will you keep up with this before you realize that you have wasted years of your life?
You need a job seriously.
But let me just assume that you're an elderly man living off his pension and not some youth wasting away while those around him are progressing.

the person you quote can feed you for 3years straight

sigiyaya:
Ido!t!!

did he insult you ? what is baffling me is that how his message shake the devil out of you to call him id!ot

BLUELemon:
Growing up, the idea of a supreme being who is all knowing and overseeing was constantly being fed to me. As I grew up, I understood the same ideas were fed to other kids around me. But the one question that has never left me was, why would God not be singular if he was indeed omnipotent? Why would there be Muslims and some Christians? That was my level of thinking while still a child growing up and maybe that was the amount of reasoning my mind could accommodate.

Years later I got to understand there are many other religions apart from Islam and Christianity. Then the question became, which of the God is responsible for hardship, why is the so much pain, hunger and errors in life? Along the way, I discovered the most heinous crimes were perpetrated by clerics who says they act on behalf of a God. The God has never denied it. I discovered humanity doesn't thrieve on compassion but hatred, deceit and selfishness.


Without the doubt, if there was indeed a God, pain and hunger entertains him. He doesn't care about what happens on Earth; it's safe to conclude THERE IS NO GOD

THE wise says in his heart there is no God, it's up to you to make the world a better place.

God exit and Jesus has made Him known to us . People say, "Suffering is God's fault!", conveniently forgetting times our own anger, greed and lies hurt others too . We are so far from being innocent that we owe our very existence to sin.

THE TWO GODS OF ISLAM

RudyNerdy:
what's your opinion on dating before marriage?
cos majority of my church brethren see it as a sin.
I'm a 27 year old dude in my finals as a law student and I believe in building a relationship now till when I culminate to the top so by then we already know and trust ourselves and not just getting married to a stranger after already achieving success.
That's the kind of situation I wanted applying to my relationship with this girl I met and the relationship is devoid of premarital sex but my church brethren see it as a sin and advised i should wait till i graduate, get a job and the good wife will come.

keeping friendship with a girl , is it a sin ? i don't think so , your church is too religious , don't get me wrong my brother , i know what they are trying to do, as the apostle paul say , when there is a law then there is a violation of sin , when u set law like this , then there is a big chance of you violating this law than keeping its, this will only happen when you focus on the law and ignore the right thing.

my advice to you is , don't date who you can't marry ,and when you date your woman , dont make it secret .

Zzor:
nothing like boyfriend,its a waste of time

true that , but at least you must start from some where , or do you want to marry a stranger ?

Zzor:
Since she's not married,then she didn't lie when she told you she was single,shes a wise lady

read again , the guy did not ask if she was married , he ask her IF she got a BOYFRIEND .

ItsTerah:
I know I'm going to get alot of insults from you guys and that's why I didn't use my original Nairaland account for this, but please hear me out and give me good advice.

I'm the kind of girl that doesn't love easily. I don't think I've ever fallen in love before. I have dated just one guy and I broke up with him when he tried to rape me. I'm still a virgin and the reason is because I have trust issues. I know that if I have sex with a guy I'll become very attached and my heart can easily be broken. So I'm waiting for a guy I can trust.

I recently just started dating someone. I'm not in love with him but we've been very good friends and when he asked me out I just had to say yes so that I wouldn't lose him. I've still not had sex with him and I like that he respects my wishes. My boyfriend loves me and although I don't love him equally I've opened up to him about how difficult it is for me to reciprocate love.

Then there is this other guy I just became friends with. I won't lie, I'm sexually attracted to this guy. My sexual attraction to him intensified when he opened up to me about his kinks which are similar to mine. He told me he has feelings for me and likes me alot and can't get me out of his mind. I admitted I am sexually attracted to him but that I don't have feelings for him. I know he is sexually attracted to me and has made advances at me and even asked for nude pictures all of which I refused. But I still talk to him. He knows about my boyfriend and is aware of my situation. Occasionally he flirts with me but I try not to flirt back. I've tried to bury my sexual attraction to him but he is just so physically appealing. I've made it clear that I want to be just friends and he seems okay with it. I know I'm principled enough to not allow him have sex with me I'm wondering if it's safe being just friends with him. I enjoy talking to him and don't want to end our friendship.

you are about to dance with the devil ......he who dance with the devil ,the devil will surely step on his toe . my advice , don't even think of making friend with him , run before its too late

abbertee:
We all know the goal is aimed at worshipping one God but, the issue of having different versions of the bible adds to the confusion, and brings up a question like, if these books were written by the same persons. Most of these contradicting statements can be mostly found in the old testament but, most people claim the laws of the old testament are no longer considered to be very important because most of the texts happened before the coming of the saviour. Still yet we forget that the method of the payment of tithe originated from the old testament.

Without saying much, let's look at the 10 Bible verses that will make you question the authenticity of Christianity.

1. The first book on this list is Exodus 20:13 according to the Good News version which says "Do not commit murder."

On the same book, Exodus 32:27 says "And he said to them, Thus said the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor."

2. Genesis 32:30 says "Jacob said, I have seen God face-to-face, and I am still alive; so he named the place Peniel."

But John 1:18 says “No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known."

3. Ephesians 2: 8-9 says "For by such grace you have been saved through faith. This does not come from you; it is the gift of God."

James 2:24 says "You observe that a person is justified through actions and not through faith alone."

4. Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Job 1:1 says "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil."

5. Deuteronomy 27:22 says "Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen!’"

But according to Wikipedia, the Bible and other sources, Abraham and his sister Sarah were married and their marriage was blessed.

6. Matthew 10:34 says "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the world. No, I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

John 16:33 says "I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!"

7. Proverbs 26:4 says "Don't answer a fool according to his foolishness, or you will be just like him."

Proverbs 26:5 says "Answer a fool according to his foolishness, or he will think himself to be wise."

8. Genesis 17:10 says "Here is my covenant that you are to observe, between me and you and your descendants: Every male among you is to be circumcised.”

Galatians 5:2 says "Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, the Messiah will be of no benefit to you.”

this is what i called BIBLE ILLITERACY

1. it's a crime to murder , Is it wrong for governmental authorities to execute a murderer ?Is it wrong for a policeman to use his gun and perhaps even kill someone in order to protect the innocent and enforce the law?

2.jacob did not see God , he saw an angel , he wrestle with an angel .

3. James is not saying that works alone save us. Paul is not saying that faith alone saves us. They are both saying that one without the other is dead. James shows us that faith without works is dead. Paul shows us that works without faith is dead. We need both. A saved man must SHOW the evidence of A SAVING FAITH , BY DOING GOOD WORK

4. job was an upright man doesn't mean he is without sin , the bible does not give more details about his early life , so on what ground do you lay your arguement ?

5. prove it biblicaly that sarah and Abraham are brother and sister

the rest are laugable , bible illiteracy , when you see a verse that seems contradicting to you , then the context will be significant in helping you reveal there is a different time or relationship, hence not in contradiction.

News of THE MASTER SECOND COMING

Mr atheist, if this sentence is beyond your level of comprehension,
JWs render help to our neighbors and anyone in need but we OBEY Jesus instructions on this matter (Matthew 6:1-4).

Omo, na your own wahala be that

Kobojunkie:
Is this a joke or something? What is the source of this claim @OP? The link reads more like the concoction of a desperate mind than it does an actual report of real happening. Where is the old man? What is his name? Is there even a video of said event?

the news trouble you.

Godsonjolly:
14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 

15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 

16 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. 

17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 

18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 

19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 

20  But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 

21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 

22 I love God’s law with all my heart. 

23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 

24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?

These verse shows Paul was fighting sin. But at the bolded, does it mean when we sin, God won't blame us or what. I need answers from Bible scholars.. Thanks
@Righteousness89

paul was describing the relationship between a CHRISTIAN and the LAW , when you want to follow the law, you wont succeed because NOBODY win, EVERYBODY still sin, when you want to follow the law, then you make yourself a slave to sin.

your faith is weak, you need to look onto the One who Is the AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.

the purpose of the law is to reveal our sin. When we look into a mirror we see ourselves as we really are on the outside. If our hair is messed up, the mirror will reveal that. If there is a pimple on my face, the mirror will show this. the mirror will reflect this problem and show me my need to clean up.

As we grow in the Lord, as we walk in the Spirit, as we obey the Lord, and as we surrender our hearts to Him, HE CHANGES US! Little by little, day by day, we are constantly being changed into His image.

Amotolongbo:
Go and read about medieval Christianity also. If the Catholics and Protestants had access to bomb then, they would have destroyed the whole earth a long time ago

so you are trying to justify evil.？ beside the gospel preach peace and love for your enemy, which nowadays christians now understand, what about the quran ？ if the quran preach peace , why is it hard for muslims to understand it ？ if you cannot name your ememy how can you defect them ？

King44:
I have a question to ask, why do the north always support anything bad and prevent people from saying the truth when it is clear that their parents, sisters, fathers, children are the main victim of terrorism? There are some northerners and some military personnel sabotaging the effort of the clueless gvt and this is what you could say?

This is not a family affair that should be kept secret, people are dying, children are becoming orphans in their own land daily...

If not for the humanity in me I would have encourage the South to keep quite and watch because it is none of Southern business, terrorism in the north us like family issue that must not be blown in public.

I was expecting you to say, those people fueling the insurgence should be revealed but opposite is the case, there must be something I don't understand about the entire populace in the north.

What is your belief, I would like to hear you out maybe I would understand you better...

I live a peaceful life but seeing news like this doesn't make me happy... Does it make you happy?

You don't want him to speak up... What is wrong with the way northerners think?

There must be a reason why you want him to keep shut when it is obvious people in Borno are being massacred daily.

Please enlighten me

So heart breaking.

not all northerners please, say northern muslims, we the northern christians are against this.
