That someone else can pay fpr ypur sins.

lol. that's not what the Bible teaches.

richworth:
Each portion of the scripture is loaded with divine secrets, when you are loaded with the Word it shatters darkness, as you encounter more light from the scriptures. The more you spend time with the word you are also spending more time with the author who is the Holy Spirit , it draws you closer to God keeping you more in His presence , you think more about the word, remember He is the Word.His word begins to work wonders , keeping you protected and defended , engracing you an overcomer , at this point your taste or cravings would have changed ,in the word you discover treasures like " I will put a new spirit within you"

well said.

religion plays a big role as to why the continent is backward

the was Africans PRACTICE and perceive religion (whatever religion it might be) is the reason for Africa backwardness
.denying this is self delusion

religion has help to inspired man to do Good,religion is the ultimate source of HOPE , removed religion and the ultimate question will be WHAT DO WE LIVE FOR ? I believe people will do terrible things with or without religion, take a look at the Soviet Union, populated with mostly
atheist, even there name seems UNITY but they
slaughter there own people. and what about
north Korea ? I believed if atheism hold ground
just like religion the Human Race will be Long
gone by now.

hopefulLandlord:
what do you understand by "survival of the fittest"?

are you not an atheist ? you know better na. every Darwin's should know.

perfectly said bro. politics have done more harm than religion. we can only try to find the right political formula. Neither can we eliminate our religious need; we can only find the right religion. A good start would be to find one committed to a leader who said:

"Blessed are the peacemakers ... love your
enemies ... bless those who curse you ...
turn the other cheek ..."

If you assume that killing and exploitation are wrong, you have unconsciously appropriated Christian values. If, as atheistic evolutionists teach, advancement comes through the survival of the fittest, why not let war take its natural course?

Can you picture Jesus coming back to earth today and seeking out the fellowship of his own, walking the
streets and looking at its Churches? "This Church", his guide would say, "is a Baptist Church." "Baptist?" Jesus would ask, "What is a Baptist Church?" . "This Church", his guide would say, "is a Presbyterian Church." Jesus would ask, "What do you mean by a Presbyterian Church?" ."This Church", his guide would say, "is a Catholic Church." Jesus would say, "I have never heard of a Catholic Church before". Etc, etc, etc. After a time, Jesus, weary and confused, would ask feebly of his guide, "Where is the church of God?" The Christian world today is torn into fragments (John 13:35).

Christianity is not a Church, for it has often had to flee the Church, as Jesus fled the synagogue in order to survive (Luke 4:14-30), and others had to flee the Roman Catholic Church to avoid being burned at the stake, or others had to flee the Spanish Inquisition.

Calling ourselves "Christian" should automatically entail a commitment to excellence. Sadly, this is not always the case.Far too often we use being "Christian" as an excuse for being less than excellent. This is
tragic and reflects poorly on the One we love and serve.

Later they'll start complaining that their alawee isn't enough. You should have let that old man be. He has just a few years ahead of him before he leaves you alone in this world to continue the suffering. You on the other hand have several years to achieve a lot and you're concerned about an old man.

imagine your children abandon you to die, and I just type this, how will you feel ? you are hiding and sinning in the disguise of Grace. indeed God is merciful.

If I am saved, why do I still sin? Why do I have such a problem with sin while I am here on earth? Why am I still troubled with impure thoughts? Why do I sometimes do what I know is wrong? Why do I sometimes fail to do what I know is right? Why do I continue to battle with temptations? Why do I
sometimes live and act like an unsaved person ( 1 Cor. 3:3), even though it grieves me and saddens me when I live this way?

the believers has TWO nature , although he is saved, he must beware ( 1 peter 5) once he is saved, what happened to the sinful nature ? When a person is saved, the old nature is not transformed into something good.

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the spirit is
spirit" (John 3:6).

When a person is born again, the flesh does not transform itself into spirit. It remains what it
always was: FLESH. The old nature is not improved and sweetened. It does not undergo a reformation. When a person gets saved, does God transform
his old nature into something that is now good? Not at all.

the new birth is a CREATION and not a TRANSFORMATION . The new birth is the bringing in of a new thing, not the changing of an old. My old nature remains the same. The difference is this:
I now have a new nature created by God.

to OVERCOME sin, we need to grow in wisdom, you see, the different between Jesus and Adam was that, Jesus GREW IN WISDOM, ( Luke 2:52 And Jesus grew in wisdom ...) , thus he overcome the temptation of Satan. Adam was CREATED AS A FULL BLOWN MAN, an innocent creature without WISDOM , thus he was deceived by the serpent. so as I grew in wisdom by His Grace, God crucified my sinful nature.

Africans and stupidity. Without the woman placing a puny curse on you, do you expect men to be serious with you when you display traits of hoedom? Doesn't work that way!

She desires a marriage after ruining many. People are selfish walahi.

why are you people always insult African ? as if you are living in a mansion!!! if Donald trump make a statement about black, you will be the first to criticized him.

the problem of African is we the Africans, we hate ourselves, we are our own enemy, so you think the white do not practice juju ? smh.

And we will continue to lord over you. The problems with pigs is that they do not want to live with the fact that they are slaves and so shall they be treated.
Then, who is idiot than educated idiot!
The highest you pigs can do is what you are doing now: groaning is the unique way of wailing by pigs.

you cannot be lord, the Quran has already address you as slaves.

Stupid assertion

alright my brother .

Akiika:
Isn't Jesus god again? Go and expand your knowledge horizon, a lot of things doesn't add up. Too much contradictions in those religious books, their myths and characters are also very similar, they just change the names. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism etc all have similar mythology, research them. It's all created to be able to get communities to corporate by the aristocrats. Just read with open mind, take out the unbeliever "burn in hell" scare tactics, you will get better understanding.

Jesus is fully divine and fully human, each nature are distinct from each other, things that are known of God is not known of the human nature of Jesus . there was a time He began to exist, but is origin is unknown .

you know what, click my profile and chose any thread of your choice, let us began there , how about that.?

Religion is the biggest scam in human history.

God exists but he has no religion.


Religion is a man-made creation to oppress and enslave fellow humans.


Free yourselves from religion

to sit on the fence is a marvelous position , from there you can watch how life pass you by. it is in your position to find the Right formula ( religion) and allowed the spirit to lead.

festacman:
What does Innocent Idibia aka Tubaba meant by "Africa wake up", "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery"? The eternal truth is that there is no greater mental slavery than entrusting yourself to a carved piece of wood that is inhabited by a foul spirit and submitting your life to certain unproven superstitions.

The fact that Tubaba sings well doesn't confer on him any iota of authority to assess Christianity. If he has poor understanding of what the messages of Jesus Christ communicate, he should simply say so. If he is struggling to keep up with the teachings of Jesus Christ, he should say so. If he is confused and scandalized by the human weaknesses of pastors and priests, he should take a look at himself in the mirror, because he should be the last person to judge. However, I doubt if he has trully read and meditated actively on the sriptures. Therefore , he can't give what he doesn't have.

Let's face It. Christianity improved Africa rather than devalue it. From enlightenment of the mind through education offered through schools built free, healthcare through hospital built free, to discouragement of senseless practices such as killing of twins, human sacrifices, burying royalties with human heads and many other things.

Tubaba who chickened out of non-risky street protest should NEVER disrespect the sacred memories of hundreds of missionaries who left the comfort offered by their home countries to come to Africa to preach the gospel. Many were drowned in the sea and many died from malaria caused by mosquito bites. May God bless their souls.

If Tubaba has this day chosen BACCHUS and EROS as his gods and has therefore proudly built shrines under the name of RUMOURS NITE CLUBS to serve them, I wish him good luck.

For me and my household, we will serve the LIVING GOD. I love Jesus and I will serve him all the days of my life. Come and beat me!

bless you my brother. the Bible say God exist and Jesus had made Him known to us. thank you .

Nigerians sef,see as we carry this religion for head like gala pass the whites that introduced it to us.


One would think since almost all of us profess to be Christians that crime and other vices will be a thing of the past but for where.

I put it to you that a world without religion will fill with chaos , by now the human race will be long gone. can the world do without politics ? but politics have done more evil than good, so what's the solution ? to find the Right formula . judges 2:10 "Generation without God . "

The meccan polytheist had been doing this long before Islam.

meaning Muhammad copy it form them.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 43, Number
658:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Masud:
The Prophet entered Mecca and
(at that time) there were THREE
HUNDRED-AND SIXTY IDOLS around
the Ka’ba . He started stabbing
the idols with a stick he had in
his hand and reciting: “Truth
(Islam) has come and Falsehood
(disbelief) has vanished.”

now in surah Surah 2:125-127: the Qur'an say" We MADE the House a resort and a sanctuary for people, saying, ‘Take the spot where Abraham stood as your
place of prayer.’..........

If the Ka’ba which was supposedly built by the Prophet abraham and the Prophet Ishmael was originally the House of Allah, how did it become a
Pagan Temple housing 360 idols ? How could a House of God turn into a Temple of Idols? Exactly when did Allah allow this change to take place?


Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number
661:
Narrated by Abu Raja Al-Utaridi:
We used to WORSHIP STONE, and
when we found a better stone
than the first one, we would
throw the first one and take the
latter, but if we could not get a
stone then we would collect
some earth (i.e. soil) and then
bring a sheep and milk that
sheep over it, and perform the
Tawaf (circumnavigation) around
it.

Rubbish submissions that are refusing to hold any water from Reno.

Every one of his quotations are so flaky and puncturable.

Surely not a good defender of the bible.

E.g

You are not your sins.

According to Reno your sin commits itself and as such is hated by God and not you the "commiter".

A pile of bullcrap..and the usual over emotional religious fanatics are in consonance.

All his quotations up there are simply figments and shreddable I repeat.

NB

For those attacking my submissions above and requesting for me to refute Reno's Bible quotes, well let's enjoy the piece below together...

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations.
A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24.
The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9.
The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.
Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan.

Hard Facts of Life. Life in the universe has no purpose. The purpose of your life is the purpose you give to it.

funny boy. but life is valuable [quote author=Martinez39 post=80251324]

malvisguy212:
In the Gospels, a rich, young man approached Jesus and said to him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus gave the infamous reply,“Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” This story is
found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke; critics of Jesus’ claims to deity often use it as ammunition in their case for a non-
divine Jesus. It seems, they argue, that
Jesus is denying deity here by refusing
the title ‘GOOD’ as it is something reserved solely for God. I contend that even a surface-level reading of this narrative does not even remotely support that conclusion.
I don’t see how Jesus’ clarification of
God’s nature is equivalent to him
denying deity. This is akin to someone
coming to me and calling me, “Dr. Paul.” I respond by saying, “Why do you call me
doctor? No man can be a doctor, only he
who holds a doctorate.”

I can either mean one of two things:

1. No one can be a doctor unless he
holds a doctorate.
2. I do not hold a doctorate.
3. Therefore, I am not a doctor.


or…

1. No one can be a doctor unless he
holds a doctorate.
2. I hold a doctorate.
3. Therefore, I am a doctor.

By asking “Why do you call me doctor?”,
am I denying my title? Of course not. I
am simply clarifying what the title
means. I am neither validating nor
rejecting the title. In any case, I don’t
have a doctorate (yet!) but the point still
stands.

You can see how such reasoning is
completely absurd, and yet this is what
we see when critics use Jesus’ words in
this passage to try to show his non deity. Having said all of that, let’s have another look at what Jesus said in this passage.

He only said two statements:

1. Why do you call me good?
2. No one is good except God

The only piece of information that Jesus
gave is this: No one is good but God.
There are 2 ways to understand his
statement:

1. Only God is good.
2. I am not good.
3. Therefore, I am not God.

or

1. Only God is good.
2. I am good.
3. Therefore, I am God.

In this specific instance, from these
words alone, Jesus does make known to
us which of these he meant. It is both
ignorant and presumptive of anyone to
use this passage, alone, to argue for
Jesus’ non-deity. Why should the first
reading be the desirable one over the
second reading? Jesus’ statement that
only God is good does not, itself, tell us
whether he was affirming or denying
being God.

But if we keep reading, we find that
Jesus sheds some light on what he
meant. Jesus answers the man’s original
question about obtaining eternal life
with this“You know the commandments:

‘You shall not murder, you shall not
commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.'”

The man responds :”Teacher, I have kept all of these since I was a boy.”

Then Jesus finishes with: “One thing you
lack. Go, sell everything you have then
come, follow me.”

To summarize: In response to the man’s
question, “What must I do to gain eternal life?”, Jesus responds by telling him to
follow the commandments. But which
commandments does Jesus list?
Notice that Jesus only lists the
commandments that dealt with civil
affairs. The Ten Commandments of
Moses were divided into 2 parts: Laws on
dealing with God and Laws on dealing
with others. Respectively, these were the
moral and civil laws. Jesus names the
civil law for the young man and the
young man responds like any good Jew
would, These I have kept since I was
young.” The man was doing great on
keeping the civil law, but not so much
with the moral law. Instead of then
quoting the first four commandments to
the young man,the commandments that
dealt with man’s relationship with God, Jesus told the young man, “Sell your
possessions and follow me.” In other
words, “Your god is your money. Get rid
of that and follow me.” Jesus is equating
obeying the moral law with following
himself. The manner in which men can
obtain eternal life is by getting rid of the
false gods in their lives and following
Jesus , replacing them with him!
This claim is monumental! And it gives us
an answer to our initial dilemma. Did
Jesus deny or affirm his deity in asking,
“Why do you call me good?” I think the
answer is clear in light of the rest of that
conversation with the young man. Jesus
equated following himself with keeping
the moral law and obeying the
commandments that governed man’s
relationship with God. Thus, in bringing
up this passage as ammunition for a
non-divine Jesus, the critic shoots
himself in the foot by bringing to the
table a text in which Jesus clearly claims
deity.

a

The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was no written by good men, because good men would
not tell lies by saying ‘Thus saith the Lord;’ it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin,and themselves to hell; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration . THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD IN THE WORD OF MEN.

religion have really dealt with you. religious crisis start now, the Hausa Fulani will slaughter you, that's for sure, in fact come to Kaduna and go straight to Rigasa were Hausa Fulani are much and let us see if you will make it. Yoruba Muslims in kadaun prefer Christians than Muslims.

is it not obvious that buhari and his fulani brothers, have a sinister move against the south? Is the north, not big enuf for the evil Ruga? the fulanis just like they took over kwara, jos, taraba, nassarawa, wants to take over the whole country. If this will lead to our divide, then i am fully in support

divide it, make them go settle their mata with shia.

the Quran support DEATH by suicide , and the last enemy to be destroyed according to the Bible is DEATH.

am sure most of you atheists skip Sunday school lesson. the question is why Will God who want worship from his creatures forget to create female who Will multiply human ? did God tell Adam to multiply alone ? very silly question raised by the op. what do you understand by the word MANKIND ?


the text say " Let us make MANKIND in our image, and after our likeness......let THEM have dominion.....

the text did not say let him have dominion, the text say let THEM have dominion, meaning God intention was to create Eve even before He created Adam.
