ledafaze: He's asking a question and thereby hiding the answer... You. Are a typical example of Kadesh Mr Obadiah

Alfa Seltzer: Is Mintayo and Reyginius one and same person?

aManFromMars: Wrong? LOL.

Let's see.

Let's say I have a brother who's homosexual. It's against everything my family stands for, yet he still wants to keep the family name. Should I disown him and throw him out? Leave him out in the wild to fend for himself?


Your gay brothers(yes, they're your brothers) created a thread for themselves cos they need support in a cruel world where justice seems like a dream to them. Christianity is an open religion, the basis being that Jesus died for everyone. They've found solace in that.

But what do our so-called born again Xtians do? They go in there threatening fire and brimstone. They forget that by doing that, they actually break some of NL's rules.

READ THEM UP.

Your brothers don't react violently. They actually try to use reason to discuss with you, but y'all want the thread closed. Your christian chatbox thread won't accommodate them, will it? SO you throw their thread to the SEXUALITY section, though that thread(the contents) had nothing to do with sexuality. Now you remind them that it's a crime under Nigerian law, like they didn't know that already.

Seriously, you needed an atheist to tell y'all this?

aManFromMars: So who has the final say then? The Bible? Yeah, right... Whose interpretation? Yours? Obadiah's? The Holy Spirit's?

How do we know the Holy Spirit? The still voice in your head?


smh.

Logicboy03: The pope is an authority over 1 billion christians.

Only an ignorant Nigerian will compare Adeboye to the pope.

aManFromMars: Na, it isn't for them.. Christians couldn't have their section like the cute Muslims next door. So a few create a new chat thread which was all good. I personally had no qualms with that.

Now they define what Christianity is, what's not accepted by Christianity, and which group of Christians aren't true Christians.

Funny thing is I know these kind of people quite well. I used to work with them in real life. I was once a part of them.. I'm glad something kept me away from the extremes.. The Bible is a huge book, and if one isn't careful, you'll find the right verses to accommodate your 'hatred'...

Ask the 'crackers'...

Baybe: I was saved from birth

Baybe: I was saved from birth

haibe: I was born a muslim, i never got to know much about christianity except that it was just another religion in the country, i usually saw it as another way God wants us to worship him, infact i tot all the religions on earth were from God and that God wanted us to worship him in different ways, so i did not see any reason why i should become a christian even though a lot of my friends preached to me while in secondary school.

I began to wonder why christians where so concerned about non-christians accepting Jesus into their lives, i was like aren't we worshipping the same God? Why do i have to worship God in the christian way?, i also noticed some events wherby muslims in the north persecuted the christians over there to leave their faith and turn to islam, i wondered why they were doing this, i mean since its one God we are all serving why then are they forcing those christians to become muslims.

I thought about this for months and then decide to know the root of all the religion issues of wanting other people to be converted, i then began to study my quran very well(in english now) because i only knew how to recite in arabic, we were to recite it in prayers and so one has to memorize them, also there is qualification for someone who has read the quran finish, it was like a school, after memorizing the quran finish, there is usually a form of graduation called "wolima", so my parents made me read the quran, i was able to recite some already, i recited in arabic even though i never knew the meaning of what i was reciting, i was so happy that at least i have fulfilled a tradition, all this are by the way.

So after i desired to know more about my religion, i got an english quran and started reading it and got to understand what i had been reading in arabic for years, i read to a point and then decide to start reading the bible too, i read the bible randomly and noticed how both the quran and bible contradicted themselves so much, my quran told me alllah(God as i tot) has no son but the bible says God does have a son, and so many other contraditions, i did not fret much until i got to some verses of the quran where the writer said unbelievers(christian and jews) will go to hell, this was when my journey started.

After doing lots of research, i found out the God of the bible is different from alah, i then grew interest in reading the bible, i read till i got convicted that Jesus really died for my sins and that through Jesus in me i can live that holiness of life which i have longed to live, i had always wanted to do the right thing always while a muslim but i couldn't, i fell into sin always(i didn't understand why), i read about Jesus and believed in him but still i did not want to accept him as my lord and saviour because of the fear of my parents, so i pretended nothing happened, i continued living as a muslim.

I got admitted into the university in the year 2010, i was happy because i heard a lot about the university as a place where you are free, you see lots of beautiful girls and can do whatever you like, i started living the life which i loved then, drinking , partied once in a while, etc, i saw all this as enjoyment, it was about 2 months into the semester when i realised one of my roommate did not live like us(i and my other roommates), he was always reading his bible, praying and all that, i wasn't interested, i continued living my life until this day he preached to me and then the memories of me wanting to accept christ earlier came, i hated his preaching because i knew i would stop sinning if i accepted christ and so i didn't listen much to him, one faithful day he invited me to his church, i attended and whoa!! I experienced what seems impossible that day, it was the first time ever that i would ever feel my creator's presence, i experienced joy and peace, i felt so remorseful and sorrowful of my sin, i accepted christ as my lord and saviour, i prayed earnestly and was filled with the holy ghost, it was strange but i knew i was a changed person from that day on, i lived a completely different live from that which i lived before, i became a new creature, i became born-again, i never wanted to lie, steal, lust, fornicate(i never fornicated though), backbite, masturbate again, i just fell in love with Jesus and loved to read the bible, i faced queries from my muslim friend, they tried to prove to me the bible is corrupt and that allah is the true God but mba No, i refused because my greatest desire to be a new(holy) person had come to pass, something has changed, a burden has been lifted, i refused to turn back.

A muslim friend of mine in school called my parents and told them about the new advancement of my faith, that i now go to church and all that, i got persecuted by my muslim friends, my parents and co, but to cut the long story short, i overcame by the grace of God and here am i standing today by the mercies of God,

omotayokay: @OP, there is nothing wrong in a Christian marrying a Muslim...infact, it will turn out to be blessing to you because you'll get to increase your knowledge about God and the forms in which He exists! But, the extended family tinzz could be frustrating!

nnofaith: very soon you will have threads like;
christian pimps
christian whores
christian armed robbers
christian petty thieves
christian drag queens
christian peadophiles

you guys need new role models or a hug or something!
