Muslim by religion, humanity at heart.


He has gone to the heaven of those that believe in the freedom and life of mankind.

Nigerians are lucky that our country have never recorded any known natural disasters.. some countries fire go just come out from nowhere burn houses..

We are not lucky or spared. Nigeria's, black race natural disaster is bad leadership. This is far worse than the nature's disaster.

Baptism of fire 🔥 inside water.

Ecclesiasticus 15:13 The Lord hateth all abomination; and they that fear God love it not.

God rejects everything that is corrupt, twisted, or morally perverse.

Which kind scripture is this one kwa?😂

sonmvayina:
does this means you can't tell when somebody is trying to deceive you?
what do people say when they want to cheat and lie?
well, it's all myths and legend.
God us consciousness.....not a jew up in the sky. All the stories are allegorical. you have to read it and learn the messages they contain. NOT BELIEVE IT.

I think I have been deceived all my life. I read science, I have not seen an atom or an electron before or how they are combined in chemicals. The told me who did what and what laws, I believed them. They told me about my ancestors, I believe though not knowing my grandfather's name. I believe.

Another history that is global talks about Adam, Eve, Socrates, Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Fredrick Handel, Joseph Stalin, Emmanuel Kang, Samuel Longfellow, Nostradamus, Gatama Buddha.
I believe.


I believe, in the same vein, that Jesus existed and still powerfully exists.

What then would be my justification not to believe in lies?

Ii have always believed in lies including the one you are telling now.

The husband is even holier than the pastor self. He calmly claimed his wife after battering from the clergy.

The man has large heart.

See as the authorities acted swiftly?, but if it was a Christian girl that was abducted and forcefully converted to islam they'll not know what to do

I don't believe the story.

DoWhatThouWilt:
America today claims to be a Christian nation, and yet it invaded and killed millions of people from some of the countries you mentioned above.

Also, there are verified reports that America, a Christian nation, created those terrorist groups you mentioned above via the CIA.

That is why the current leader in Burkina Faso kicked out both french and US soldiers from their country.

Crawl out of your dark cave that has kept you in ignorance.

I never knew US soldiers were in Burkina Faso. I hope your claims are true about America creating terror groups. Why didn't they create the group with their Christian brothers or Honduras or Buddhists or any other religions?

There is a political market called politics, everybody goes there to buy and sell to their gains. What is driving Islamic nation's to kill for recognition is driving America to amass power, dame China, Japan, North Korea.


It is like the popular question people ask,' why would a loving God approve of war?' W

When you say Christianity is preaching advancement, you mean advancement like below right?

Are we in 12th century now. Humanity and human rights have taken me over the barbarity of those times.

See what is happening in Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya under Gaddafi, Iraq under Saddam at this time. Wake up brother.

Why is there Boko Haram, ISWAP, ISIS, AL QAEDA,? To bring the world under a caliphate.

He is right, Muslims that are killed by their brothers are sent to have a fore taste of kpekus and wine before their own turn. Dem for don enjoy tire before their killers' arrival. Wetin Christians Dem kill go enjoy?

If prayers truly works the world won’t be in such a mess as we are right now. The world has always been in a mess anyway. God has given us everything we need to conquer this earth, praying to God doesn’t do anything. Outcomes will always be outcome whether you pray or not. Circumstances will always change not because of prayers but by events, actions and inactions.

Well, it depends? Not the whole world is praying to the same God. Peoples in different climes have different gods and different approaches to reach them. I am a Christian, I believe in the Christian God. The development and influence of Christianity is felt today all over the world. Even at that, there was no time everyone place was totally Christian in the Christian 4 domain. The early church fathers and preachers prayed their nations to greatness. Most notable giants in any field that have advanced the quality of life were either devoted Christian or thinkers within Christian folks who challenged dogmas.
Prayer is not only a personal affair for individual"s gains but also corporate, and have long time effects. In the developed world, their fathers paid generational price in prayers and devotion. The decadence we see today is as a result of devotional decay and neglect of corporate prayer.

Africa is at a crossroads of history and religion. Christianity is preaching advancement, Islam is preaching enslavement. It is unfortunate that these two religions with opposing views are battling for supremacy in northern hemisphere of Africa.
Real prayers that can change things positively are not being said to the correct God.

MaxInDHouse:
Islam promotes political ambition among neighbors even Muslims may start hating, fighting and killing themselves over politics and racism.

So i wonder if their God truly love them as there is no rules guiding them on how to cohabit peacefully without fighting and killing themselves over politics and racism!😟

Islam is not only a religion to serve Allah. It is a religion for land grabbing and rulership. Mohammed was a genius. He carefully blended Arabian intention to rule the world with Jewish religion that had gained ground.

He knew that people hardly query anything attached to divinity.

That said, I have some saintly Muslim friends, moderate ones. One of them, we lived together as bachelors, got a copy of the Quran when he saw my own copy. I remember him saying, how can a Christian have a copy of the Quran and I as a Muslim don't do you have? We were all graduates living together, four of us.
When a Muslim studies the books, Quran, Hadiths, tasfir,and others and really get the understanding, he must get violent. He be be doing taqquiyya or pretending to be peaceful. It is a lie.
Islam goes beyond worship, it is a religion for usurpation.

You were there nah!
Cheers

Prayer works. I am a testimony to that. Prayer can be said by individuals, a group, a prophet or whoever. Prayer still works.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1John.1.1

The problem with black congregations today is an advancement of the confusion of two religious cultures coming together. It is not limited to Christianity alone.
As a black man, you have been taught by your culture to have one babalawo who takes care of your spiritual and health needs. Everything African is spiritual. You fortify yourself against real and imaginary enemies. You need one Baba to do charms to sell in the market, to give something to pass exams, magical pens and all that.
This is why many pastors and ministries are 'returning' to their background as seen in prayer patterns, carrying sacrifices, and cultures into marital issues.

Then outstanding people become deities. Almost all so to say idols (orishá) in Yoruba land like Shango, Ogun, Obatala, Oduduwa, Èṣù etc were human beings deified. If it were those days, Awolowo would be a deity. Somewhere in Africa, a masquerade with the head of Mandela was made.

It is now very difficult to change that mentality. Big pastors see themselves as small gods, prophets parade themselves as special people, some with strange carriage. About 90% of African Christians don't study the Bible. It is even worse in Islam.

In all these, prayer still works, our own confusion cannot discredit the Bible.

Pray without creasing to the God that answers without tiring .

sonmvayina:
which of these people lived in Palestine or Galilee ?

They did have to live in any of these places. Socrates, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Nebuchadnezzar, all lived before Christ and have mentions in history their legacies and historical records among their people's cannot be forgotten. Jesus Christ also cannot. His philosophy was taken to Europe, Americas, Rome and changed everything.. He became a landmark and threshold of history. Why would people like Paul, Peter,early church Fathers prefer to be matyred for a non- existent person?

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2 Peter 1:16-18

There is no evidence that Jesus actually lived, so what would a real historian write about him?

It would be like writing a “history” of King Arthur or Robin Hood, about whom nothing is known but their names and some far-fetched legends.

Was the magical sword in the stone historical, or the bible’s “virgin birth”?

A serious historian would know there is no real evidence that Jesus existed.

Just hearsay.

All that we have is a “big fish” story in which a minnow became a whale.

How did that happen?

It happened because the gospels are fairytale book with:

A virgin birth
walking on water
A ludicrous ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
and so on…
As with other books of ancient mythology, we can’t assume actual events are being depicted.

Thus, we have to seek confirmation outside the bible.

But no one who lived at the time Jesus allegedly lived wrote a single word about him.

The earliest extra-biblical mention we have of Jesus is an implausible blurb in the histories of Josephus, written long after the fact, if there are any facts.

Furthermore, 92.4% of scholars who expressed opinions deemed the blurb a christian forgery, either largely or entirely.

The next mention was by the Roman historian Tacitus, a century after the fact, and he got Pilate’s job title wrong, strongly suggesting that he was quoting what he had heard Roman christians say.

And hearsay is not evidence.

Thus there is no actual evidence that Jesus existed, or any of his apostles.

An honest historian would conclude that he couldn’t write a history of Jesus, only conjecture.

This is chatGPT generated view on your question.


Yes. Outside the Bible and Jewish historical writings, there are non-Christian, Greco-Roman sources that mention Jesus (or early Christians) within the 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. These are important because they come from hostile or neutral witnesses, not believers.
Below are the most credible and commonly cited sources.
1. Tacitus (Roman historian, c. AD 56–120)
Work: Annals (Book 15, Chapter 44)
Date written: c. AD 116
Tacitus describes Nero blaming Christians for the Great Fire of Rome and explains who they were:
“Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate…”
What this confirms:
Jesus existed
He was executed
Execution was under Pontius Pilate
During the reign of Tiberius Caesar
Tacitus was hostile to Christianity, making this testimony especially strong.
2. Pliny the Younger (Roman governor, c. AD 61–113)
Work: Letters (Letter 10.96)
Date written: c. AD 112
Pliny writes to Emperor Trajan asking how to deal with Christians:
They met on a fixed day before dawn and sang a hymn to Christ as to a god…
What this confirms:
Christians worshipped Jesus as divine
Christianity spread rapidly
Worship practices existed very early
3. Suetonius (Roman historian, c. AD 69–122)
Work: Lives of the Twelve Caesars
Date written: c. AD 120
He writes about Emperor Claudius:
“He expelled the Jews from Rome because they were constantly rioting at the instigation of Chrestus.”
Most scholars understand “Chrestus” as a reference to Christ, reflecting disputes among Jews about Jesus.
What this confirms:
Early conflicts about Christ
Jesus was known enough to cause unrest in Rome
4. Lucian of Samosata (Greek satirist, c. AD 125–180)
Work: The Passing of Peregrinus
Lucian mocks Christians and writes:
They worship a man to this day—the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account…
What this confirms:
Jesus was crucified
He was a religious leader
Christians worshipped Him
Lucian was openly mocking Christianity, not supporting it.
5. Mara bar-Serapion (Syrian philosopher, late 1st or early 2nd century)
Work: Letter to his son (in Syriac)
He refers to:
“The wise king of the Jews, whom the Jews executed…”
What this confirms:
Jesus was considered wise
He was executed
His influence continued after death
Important Clarification
You asked outside the Bible and Jewish history, so sources like:
Josephus
Talmudic writings
are excluded here, even though they do mention Jesus.
Scholarly Consensus
Virtually all serious historians (Christian, Jewish, secular, atheist) agree on these minimal facts:
Jesus of Nazareth existed
He was a Jewish teacher
He was crucified under Pontius Pilate
His followers worshipped Him shortly after His death
Christianity spread rapidly despite persecution
This is why the idea that “Jesus never existed” is considered fringe and unscholarly.

There is general misuse and mispresentation of prophecy among black folks. In every African setting, we grew up to know a soothsayer, fortune teller, marabout everywhere. In every African setting, this reality predated foreign religions in our midst. Even now, there is still confusion amongst the practitioners of the Abrahamic faiths in Africa. When the religion brought to us cannot match our spirituality, people resort to admixtures of the imported and the natives. Pastors, alfas go back home to bring from the wealth of spirituality to establish the Newfounded faith. This was the basis of the spiritual churches. It is just a practice of seeing a dibia, babalawo or any name they are called among individual natives.
The same is brought into Pentecostalism, the latest emergent form of Christianity.
We have not totally divorced from our roots.

That being said, prophecy is merely for information. Information now has grades. Information on what has happened, what will surely happen, and what may or may not happen depending on conditions. When certain prophecies are released, they can be absolute decisions from God that are definitely determined to happen. Others may be changeable by prayers,. Hezekiah's case is an example. Jesus talked about the suffering of the latter days and out a proviso , ' pray that the days are cut short....'

During the election of Tinubu, many prophecies were flying, I was telling people that none of these people's prophecies would come to pass. My reason, we all have access to God and can ask Him to change His mind. In fact, prophecy in this situation is a call for prayers and motivation to appeal to God. Hezekiah did against Isaiah who predicted accurately, the birth of Jesus Christ. The prophecy was changed.

In the same vein, prayer still changes the disposition of God to man today.
D
Can we now say no man can hear from God. Absolutely no. As a youth, I almost scattered a church by prophecies. I was fasting for more than half of the year and I had inspirations. I was just a zealous young person who enjoyed hearing and seeing. These days, I am wiser, I don't say things or like to code like Pastor Adeboye. Primate Olabayo used to be very accurate those days. I mean thirty years ago and beyond, so was T.B. Joshua, Tibetan Marcus. I don't follow them these days.
The mispresentation and misuse has not invalidated prophecies.
I am more concerned about Adeboye. I was in the camp when he prophesied that nobody would be successful, planning a coup against Abacha. I remember him telling is to warn our families in the military that year. Then the phantom coup happened. The prophecy was direct. These days, he codes his prophecies like Nostradamus Mitchell.
