PoliticsRe: Ikemba Ojukwu Vs M.K.O Abiola: Who Is More Popular In Nigeria? by Ozichim(m): 3:45pm On Mar 05, 2012
dayokanu:
How can we compare some coward who fled and left his people to die to someone who died for what he believed in?

How can we compare someone who won elections in the whole country to someone who cant win his own street?

Ojuku was a coward, and a non-entity in his backyard

His people were so glad to celebrate the death of a coward
"dayokanu" don't be too pationate about the whole thing. you seem to know too little. becarefull not to make the mistake of your uncle Benj. Adekunle. Are you abusing Ojukwu becouse he defended his people, or becouse he was bold to always tell the Igbos what to do for their interest? Or are you angry that Ojukwu went to exile after the war. Let us know why you are angry with Ojukwu and the Igbos?
PoliticsRe: Ikemba Ojukwu Vs M.K.O Abiola: Who Is More Popular In Nigeria? by Ozichim(m): 3:07pm On Mar 05, 2012
Please lets stop this.
This two people cannot be compared. Ojukwu took brave step to stop the pogrom against his people. He risked his life for all.
Abiola was only struggling to become a Nigeria president and died in it.
Please why and how can we compare the two.
I see this as an insult to we blacks, they don't seem to have some moral values anylonger. Even up to this point some people cannot see why the two cannot be compared simply because Ojukwu is not a Yoruba.
Tell me which wicked fellow will be angry with Ojukwu for deciding to stop the pogrom by himself since the federal government could not stop it.

Some have already said that if they were in Ojukwu's shoe then; they would have done the samething. Some Nigerians are deliberately wicked. You don't see any value on anybody except it benefit you. Abiola cannot be conpared to Ojukwu. Ojukwu lived for the aspiration of his people, Yorubas should tell us wheather Abiola did the same.

Don't use election or politics as a judge because election can be false especially in Nigeria and it is not a true test.
Let us know if you don't know that Abiola is corrupt together with Nigeria political leaders.

When you ibos were bragging about owning 70% of another man's region, what was that supposed to be?I suggest you acquaint yourself with sardunna 's speech about your people to get a glimpse of what margin alisation, entails.

As for fighting for one nigeria- you guys just sound like a bloody broken record. We fought to stop Ojukwu and his BLF from occupying our region and turning us into his colony. We saw how the ibos "liberated" the mid-west region and we ain't having none of that garbage. Shebi, ojukwu's fight was with the northerners who were slaughtering ibos like rakumin, in the north? So why then did the modaxxxxxx sent his troops into yorubaland?. why didn 't he head north?
[/color]

What is another mans region? What we have is one Nigeria. You and your ancestors including Awo forth for one Nigeria, there is nothing like region again. You and your people must be very confused to talk like that. I perceive you want to divide Nigeria. You sound hypocritical and full of deception?

A commander in chief is in Lagos commanding the distruction of Biafra and you said that Biafrans has comited a crime for trying to come to Lagos to capture him. Evil will slay anybody that hide it. Many Northerners forth in Western front and many Yoruba's forth in the Northern front. there is nothing wrong in that. Biafra is fighting with Nigeria (Housa, Yoruba etc. with "Britain"wink. Hence you are wicket to say that Biafra should not fight toward the west. Ask question to know the people that forth in the western front.


[color=#000099]Igbos dont fear that must mean Ojuku who fled to Abidjan is not Igbo maybe he is Hausa Almajiri from Zungeru

You are delusional and I suspected you are Igbo cos its only Igbos that can be this delusional

We can see the amazing Love Americans showed in WW2 that made them drop Atomic Bomb on Japan

What extreme instance of Love. Do you know How many people died instantly, Do you know how many generations were altered permanently for the next 50yrs due to the benevolence of dropping the A bomb on Japan?


Whats your level of education if I may ask? In case you went through secondary school you should have heard about the Soviet invasion of Berlin. Go and read more about how much love was shown to the germans after WW2.


Going to exile is obtainable even when there is no war. T. Danjuma said sometime ago that he will go on exile if somebody should win an election, ie people can even go on self exile.
Ojukwu was forced/persuaded to leave biafra because the owners felt that he is too good to be tossed with. Call it war strategy, See it as a valuable stone the owner hid so as not to loose it. Don't you know that a brave guy/hero is protected. Note that he left after the war Ojukwu did not left while the war was on. Biafrans know that the war has ended, so as soon as he left, Biarfran army stop fighting.
However,go ahead and call it anything you want so people will know how old you are.

Atomic bomb was dropped under government approval. Government approved the use of atomic bomb then, and it was used at exactly the location approved and as it was approved so it becomes part of the game. Gorvernment used the Atomic bomb after several warning. No single soldier tried to use it before then, just as Ben. Adekunle would have done.
Ben. Adekunle was more angry than the person (Government) he is fighting for. He did things contrary to what government asked him to do as a result of his uncontrolable hatred against the Igbos. Infact during the war Beng. Adekunle. was punished(Court marshalled) for some evil deeds. I know that witches can be hero in Yoruba land, but witchcraft acts cannot be seen as gallantry in any place.
So, If you are really a Yoruba, stop calling him hero or brave, because people will say that is the type of hero obtainable in Yoruba land.

dayokanu:
Your quote above is what makes Igbos delusional

Someone said Adekunle didnt do anything in Yiboland, Now you are saying Adekunle reduced it to rubbles which one should we believe

When your Ifeajuna and Nwobosi were killing our leaders, How come you didnt stop them

That is the begining of the eternal hatred and tribalism in Nigeria
Pls. understand what we are saying. an act of wickedness is not bravery. can you point out the bravery acts of Beng. Adek, Adekunle was so eager to distroy the Igbos do to his uncontrollable hatread. I repeat an act of wickedness is not gallantry but cheating and falsehood.
If I'm fighting your village and decide to secretly use biological weapon on them. I can single handed kill everybody in your village. Now If I kill everybody in you village with biological weapon does that make be galant/brave soldier.

It is just frustration that can make any soldier do that and it is only weaklings that do that.
Study the WW2 history and see how Americans will start feeding any territory they captured that is rule of the game by brave soldiers. Only weaklings found in the army can do such thing especially when you give them the power under frustration.

A galant soldier will even if need be, drop his gun and ask you to come out for physical fight openly.

Abuja stands still for Ojukwu • Why he led the civil war —Jonathan
Published on 28 February 2012 with 0 comments
[Post a Comment]

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday acknowledged that the Nigerian Civil war fought by the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu represented a war against injustice.

"Ojukwu stood up and fought for what he believed. He stood for justice. He refused to compromise. He challenged man’s inhumanity to man".

"Faced with the pogrom of his kith and kin, he stood his ground and fought until the last plane left Biafra. His bravery, courage and sacrifices live after him. Whatever perceived mistakes he made, or people think he made will for forever be interred with his bones."

President Jonathan said this yesterday at a colourful ceremony in honour of the fallen Biafra hero late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s remains at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Jonathan, who spoke through his Vice President Namadi Sambo, also described the Late Ikemba as an advocate of a united Nigeria who stood and fought for what he believed in.

Jonathan reminded Nigerians that late Ojukwu was already a General in the Nigerian army before the civil war, saying that the legacy bequeathed to the Nigerian Army by Chief Ojukwu as its first Quartermaster-General remains in force even at present.

"He instituted systems that are now the hallmark of military processes and procedures which till date are in use. Adding that "no words can adequately express the nature, character, legacy and lessons bequeathed by this soldier and gentleman."

"Let it not be said that Ojukwu died when the country needed his services most. Let it rather be said that Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu lived and served with all his might when the Igbos and Nigerians needed him most.

Jonathan while eulogizing the sterling qualities of Late Ikemba Nnewi stated that "no words can adequately express the nature, character, legacy and lessons bequeathed by this soldier and gentleman."

First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, who also spoke at the occasion, noted that late Odumegwu-Ojukwu was not only an icon, but also the pride of his people.

This was as she urged Nigerians to emulate the good qualities of the late Ikemba of Nnewi, whom she described as an "accomplished Nigerian Leader."

"I am honoured and privileged to join eminent Nigerians who are here today to pay their compliments to a Nigerian hero, whose life, work, and principles were devoted to protecting the integrity of humanity.

"Here lies the remains of a great man, recorded in history for his humility, simplicity, decency and superior intellect, Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu."

She said the Ikemba will always command a place of pride in the records of our country, as one who sacrificed his comfort and privileges, to identify with the poor and the voiceless.

"For him, his liberty and privileges were without values, if his folks remained in chains. For him selective liberty was unacceptable. He was a true patriot, committed to the defence of the dignity of man.

"On behalf of my family, myself and the entire women of Nigeria, I pay my respect to this man, who spent his life and times in the defence of truth, justice and fairness.

"The Ikemba of Nnewi was not only an icon, but also the pride of his people. Today, the nation honours an intelligent politician, who made significant contributions to the growth and development of the country during his life.

"We are happy to note that the Ikemba has left his large foot prints in the sands of our time, especially in crucial areas such as military services, business enterprise and politics."

She also called on Nigerians to emulate the good qualities of this accomplished Nigerian leader, late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

She said although death is a necessary end, "we are comforted by the fact that the Ikemba lived a most fulfilled life, with evidence of notable contributions which will assure his place in the history of Nigeria".

She also reminded all that the best that can be given to the dead is to ensure that his legacies live on.

She urged Ndigbo to remain firm in their role as bridge builders and peace makers; adding "let us continue to pursue peace with all men and be our brother’s keepers. We must continue to be patient and tolerant, as no meaningful development can take place without peace and security of lives and property.

"I call on you today to form a vanguard of a new world, build on love and patriotism, always leading the advocacy for peaceful resolution of our differences. This is the surest way to immortalise this uncommon Nigerian, and dignify his memory."

The event also witnessed goodwill messages from the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, Minister of the FCT, Senator Bala Usman and the Ezeigbo FCT, Abuja, Dr. Sir Nwosu Ibe, while Chief Tom Ikim presented the Keynote Address.

The occasion also witnessed a Military Funeral Parade and a brief Church Service, led by the Catholic Arch Bishop of Abuja Diocese John Onayekan.

Wife of Late Chief Ojukwu, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Peter Obi, members of the Federal Executive Council, Military top brass and other top serving and retired Army Generals were among the dignitaries that also graced the occasion.

T8ksy:
What pity? There was NEVER a One Nigeria in the first place as neither the sardunna nor Awo were the idea except Zik of Africa (sic) who needed that ruse to migrate into other people's ancestral land to marginalise them. Ther sardunna rightly saw through them hence he was no slow in putting into place structures to eliminate or at least reduce their influence in his homeland.

Even with that, how many times have we seen on this site, ibos bragging about how much of another man's region, they own whilst referring disparagingly to the indigenes of these region?

We were all for fiscal federalism until the ibos AGAIN gave us centralised system of govt.

Now they labelled us cpowards 'cause we did not allow them to overrun our region and impose their rule on us.
It is like we have boys in this forum, Pls. if you don't have anything to say why not keep silent.
What is region marginalisation.

You are actually saying that their shouldn't be one Nigeria, But your fathers forth for it. Are you now eating your word. I'm barking out as I can't keep discoursing with babies.

Aigbofa:
Of course, history according to a Biafran. It was his juju! LOL grin. How ridiculous can you all get? The name of Benjamin Adekunle will forever hunt Biafrans, and it's not because he was cowardly. He remains the one and only Black Scorpion.

Joe who? Where was he when Baba Benji was strutting around unhindered in Biafraland? Not even Ojukwu had the balls to come out of his foxhole.
What do you want to hear.
I won't forge story. Tell us where and what make you think people were afraid of Ben. Adekun. Bearing in mind that the Igbos naturally does not fear. If Ben. Adek. is such a warrior many Igbos will even like him. Because they usually like such person.
Pls. don't make the man what he is not.

Tell us where he proved his gallantry during the war. As we said wickedness/rudeness is not gallantry. Wickedness is more like witchcraft. So , bring you facts.

As for the Juju; no body is surprise about that and no true Yoruba will deny that as it is almost their custom. When you fill that your juju is strong then you will be bold; but that is human for you, but it is false, it is pretence, it is not bravery(You can check your dictionary is you are in doubt).
PoliticsRe: Ibo And Yoruba Rivalry - Myths And Facts - Part 1 by Ozichim(m): 3:10pm On Mar 01, 2012
Live B Adekunle out of this, I have said that people should not say what they don't know. Nobody sees Adekunle as a hero or warrior.
B. Adekunle was only popular because of few post he held during the war and especially do to his wide mouthed talks against the Biafrans and his barbaric-evil nature.

You some of these Yorubas can show sign of boldness when they are wearing their juju around them, such is the case of Benjamin Adekunle, He so much trusted his juju. At least the Biafrans can kill his men while his juju will protect him.

Murtala M. showed more bravery than Adekunle. But Adekunle may have shown more hatred/wicked intent to the Biafrans at least by mouth (So the nick name black Scorpion). The name is as a result of wickedness/hatred and not bravery. I hope this is clear.

Let Any Nigerian right his Nigerian civil war history to challenge this. Nobody was ever afraid of B. Adekunle.

No body has asked about the dreaded/Bravery Biafran warrior "Joe Achuzie". Murtala Mohammed should tell Nigerians and young Nigerians the rest of the story.
PoliticsRe: Ibo And Yoruba Rivalry - Myths And Facts - Part 1 by Ozichim(m): 11:59am On Mar 01, 2012
I don't know what the ranting is all about.
When will people stop been hypocritical even openly,
No right and sincere minded fellow will be saying that the Yorubas joined the fight against the Igbos’ when the Igbos has gotten to Ore. Anybody asking the Igbos why they should fight toward Lagos must be very wicked and full of evil.

Pls. if you are ignorant and unwise; you should not display it here.

Nobody has any ill-feeling why the Yorubas should Join the Hausas to fight the Biafran because that is what the Yorubas believe and they are working for it bearing in mind that they have no option against that. The Yorubas are so afraid and cannot stand their ground in such situation.

Ogundipe could not even demand his legitimate right to take over the government from his junior (Gowon) and Yorubas could not help him do that; how then do you expect the Yorubas to tell Hausas that they won't fight. (Which one is easier to get? Getting legitimate demand or getting Illegitimate demand).
Cowardice can even make you kill yourself.

Anybody can run or shift ground anytime during the war it is normal and natural.

All those that participated in this war know that; If the Biafrans had fourth only the Nigerian troops (Hausas, Yorubas etc) the story would have been different, let’s say the truth.

I don't need this mans testimony to know that Islam is a religious of violence, I know this by spirit of discernment. I already know who Allah is before this mans testimony. I already know that the Muslim god (Allah) is not the same as Christian God. Any serious christian will know this.
Thank God for the testimony.

God has revealed this to many Christians before this testimony. This testmony is true.

Please, If you are a Christian you don't have option than to start praying and to be vigilant.

PoliticsRe: Idi Wahala Laarin Yoruba Ati Ibo: Why Yorubas And Igbos Wont Be Politic. Friends by Ozichim(m): 1:20pm On Jan 24, 2012
Oh my goodness! I used to think that Akintola should be different from other Yoruba’s. I thought he should be one of the Yoruba’s you can take by their words. This people have finished me.
Why should a statesman talk like that, If Akintola is interested in Nigeria why should he care about who lectures in Ibadan or not, he should be checking the performance of the university.

Anyway the truth is that everything used to be by merit that time. You have rightly said that the Ibos dominate everywhere that time; and that includes education. It won't be good if ill matured lecturers are employed to lecture in the university. Also remember that politicians can say anything to convince his listeners it did not start today. so even Akintola must have been laying to his people. In fact I'm very sure he is over blowing it just as politicians normally do,

Fajuyi was protesting against the killing of Ironsi because He (Fajuyi) made Ironsi to come to Ibadan after Ironsi suspected insecurity in Ibadan. The Hausa’s hide the assassination plot from Him. knowing that they can kill him anytime and the Yoruba’s cannot do anything, believe me even if the Hausas had killed Awo, the Yoruba’s won't have still do anything. Unfortunately the Hausas know about it and they have been using it against them.
Remove Igbos from any were they will start surviving from another place. Stop them from something you will see them surviving in something else. Who made the Igbos dominate the market, then and today?

Check what happened after the war and now? So you see you cannot stop the Igbos. And If you keep Nigeria together without good progress, mark it, they will eventually march up and take over, so better do something when you can.

Go to South Africa and see there are so many Igbos lecturing in the University I wonder who was employing them?

The Ibos hate backwardness, sluggishness, In fact I personally, I’m fade up with Nigeria because we are not progressing and an Igbo man will almost do anything to resolve his problem so he can progress, so if dividing this country will make every Nigeria component to progress why not just do that. Some people don't care about progress and technology advancement and so are enjoying what is happening in this country; they want stagnation and poverty, they want to drag everybody down to poverty.

I'm ready to employ the Yoruba’s to lecture in my village so long they are the best available and they are not stopping my people from entering the university. Because good lecturers will raise Genius from my people. I'm so much disappointed with the Yoruba’s now, because of what I have heard about Akintola. I thought he will be different?

3ndy:
DEAR NAIRALANDERS,
DEAR SISTERS,
TODAY SOMETHING MEMORABLE HAPPEND,
I MADE OGBONO SOUP AND PEPPERSOUP STEW, (SEEMS LIKE STEW BUT IT'S ACTUALLY PEPPERSOUP, U CAN EAT IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS, )
I ACTUALLY WENT MINDLESS WHILE COOKING, RESULT IT WAS REALLY DELICIOUS,
THEN I CALLED HIM TO COME MAKE POUNDY FOR US TO EAT!!
HE SAID WHERE IS THE WATER??
ME: HONEY PLS COULD YOU HANDDLE IT??
HIM: WHAT DO U MEAN WITH THAT??
ME: WELL I'M OBVIOSLY BUSY, SO CAN'T U HELP ME?
HIM: AT LEAST PUT THE WATER
ME: (BLENDING TOMATOE AND PEPPER SNEEZING)
HIM: WELL LEAVE IT I'M NOT HUNGRY ANYMORE
ME: HONEY I REALLY DON'T LIKE WHAT U'RE DOING!! I ASKED U 1 THING AND U ACT LIKE THIS, IT'S REALLY NOT NICE
HIM: AHN AHN U SAY U DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT NOW, NOW I'M NO MORE HUNGRY, ABEG I NO FIT SHOUT
AND HE LEFT,
I FINISHED PREPARING THE MEAL FOR EVERYONE, WE ALL ATE (STARCH NOT POUNDY) HE DIDN'T BOTHER TO COME DOWNSTAIRS (DINNING-KITCHEN ROOM)
THEN I WENT TO OUR ROOM AND HE WAS WATCHING FILM, HE SAID NOTHING, LOOKED AT ME AND WENT TO BED,
ASKED FOR WATER, AND NOW SLEEPING!!
NOW I'M WAITING FOR THE STORM, SO I CAN KNOW IF THIS IS GOING TO STAND ANY FURTHER,
Note this! this conversation is not very smooth and it is not peaceful. These two statements from you are not very ok.
" ME: HONEY PLS COULD YOU HANDDLE IT?? "

" ME: WELL I'M OBVIOSLY BUSY, SO CAN'T U HELP ME? "
Again you could have asked/persuade the man to come eat even though he seem not to be hungry and is wicked just for you to be sure of something and have your peace.

The man action is not new to anybody. And it is not enough for anybody to take negative action on his relationship.
But if you are serious about this relationship you will have to help to make it work. It must take the cooperation of both parties to make any relationship successful.
As I said before, see if you can give some breathing space to the man and watch his action and your own feeling. If you feel happier staying away from the man for long then you are not meant to stay together (Marry). Giving the man some space will help him tell himself the truth concerning the relationship.
You will be happier to take any outcome on the relationship when you have confirmed the true situation of things; because by then you will be bold and sure.

PLs. be sure that your attitude doesn't seem to be challenging the man. Men don't like to be challenged even by a fellow man let alone a lady.
Also, note that; that you are more educated does not necessarily mean that you are wiser or more enlightened in all things than the man.
Make out enough time to discourse with the man about your relationship and demand for a better/healthier relationship. At times there is a time to talk and talking can help.

Remember you will not get any perfect man, and you should also know that you are not perfect.

If the man is serious about the relationship, He will come back asking for your help when you try to stay away from him a little bit. I don't mean you should run to another man, you can decide to be staying with your parents or brother, let him know your movement. Remember you are at advantage because you are the one trying to confirm his true character and heart concerning you. Also, make sure the man is not looking for you because he is been sex starved.

If the man can be your husband he will come crawling to bring you closer to himself. In fact he will panic for your absent.
In all this be sure that you really want to keep the relationship.
Let it not be that you are watching another man while keeping this one in case it didn’t work just as so many ladies do.

Believe me more than 70% of men and women have in one time or the other slap their partner out of provocation. You will be surprise to discover that many women beat/slap their husband first (out of provocation ) even when they know that their husband can kill them with just one hand but then the man in many cases will end up not beating them back.

So, please if you confirm that the man is really serious to live with you (to be your husband); do not use it against the man; co-operate very well to make to relationship work if you are interested.
RomanceRe: Ladies, Would You Date/marry A Submissive Man? by Ozichim(m): 3:29pm On Jan 05, 2012
@3ndy;
If you really need advice; listen to me.
Since men are permitted to make comments on this, let me also say something.
I don't trust most people's advices to you on this issue.
Remember you don't know anybody let alone their character; to take their advice. Be mindfull of people advices, the final decision should be yours as you understands the situation better than anybody.

Lets assume you have told us all the truth on this issue. Let me also hope you are not looking for a reason to backout from the relationship.

If this man really love you his attitude to you may change letter.
Confirm if you still love the man, because it could be that you are already loosing emotional feelings for the man also.
Pls. this is what keep people moving when it comes to marriage.

Now!

My advice to you on this is that you should not quit yet, But deliberately delay any further issue on the marriage proceedings. Also, give the man some space, the man will come crawlling and begging you if he truly love you or he will backout completely as a result of the gap you created.

So long your own character is conformable and smooth.

This man in question may still be having the wrong mentality and hence ignorant of many things when it comes to relationship and marriage, so don't be too mush in a hurry to quit. But definitely pls. If you don't love the man and you think the man don't love you pls. run away. Love conquered all things ie I mean with love the man can change tomorrow as he matures. But everybody has to be sincere on his feeling.

Also, if you want pleasant and smooth marriage be prepared to be good. If you are good, you will attract good men to yourself.

However, If you are not sure the man love you don't give it second thought, just quit. Never you try to marry a man that doesn't love you; you both cannot be happy. Women can manage if they love less but not when the man is loving less.

But if you are sure the man love you not because of the sex, Women used to have good instinct, So check your feeling, delay the marriage process and give some spaces for you and the man and watch the situation. (don't run to another man and if possible, help regulate the man not to be entangled by another lady). This is the time you can confirm if you can live together.
Christianity EtcRe: Will I Be Making A Mistake By Becoming A Jehovah's Witness? by Ozichim(m): 3:04pm On Dec 13, 2011
I can make my points clearer if need be. I try to be mild since I'm no ready to ague with any watchtower yet. But here is some of known facts about watchtower(Jehovah Witness)

The Jehovah's Witnesses religious movement was founded by Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916).
As a teenager he rejected his Presbyterian roots, joined a more liberal Congregational Church, then left this group as well. He denied the deity of Christ and the biblical teachings on hell and eternal punishment. Russell had no formal Bible training, but borrowed and built upon various teachings that were popular at the time. For example, Adventism influenced his denial of hell, and a splinter Adventist group led by N.H. Barbour aroused his interest in end time prophecies. From Barbour he borrowed the belief that Christ returned invisibly to the world in 1874, and that 1914 was the year the world would be destroyed and the Millennium would begin.

In 1961 the Jehovah's Witnesses released their own translation of the Bible, The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (which has previously been published in a multivolume set from 1950 to 1960).
[, ]Members are encouraged to study the Watch Tower Bible in conjunction with the other Watch Tower publications and discouraged from studying the Bible by itself.

Josh090:
Wow, ozichim, your reply was long but made little sense, you didn't make any noteworthy point against jw's.
You said to find out abt Russell, have you looked into founders of all these churches u highlighted? Hypocrite!
Where does the jw's teaching say Jesus is not a son of God?
Are you a Jehova witness?
Do you Believe that Jesus is the son of God?

Young Jehovah witnesses may say they believe that Jesus is the son of God but their mature members (Who understand the meaning of "son of God"wink do not believe that Jesus is the son of God.

So, if you answer the two questions above I will know how to help you. But in a nut shell.
JW is been operated by the spirit of the Antichrist that is what John is saying. JW did not believe that Jesus is come in the flesh;
1 John 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

If you need explanation of the verses from John, let me know then I can explain.

It was stated in the Bible that in the latter days perilous time shall come. ( It is the same Bible that predicted that). God knows that in time like this that men will be the way they are now.

Pls. whatever decision you have taken already on this please consider what i will tell you now serious.
I was once in a similar position like you. I wanted to get close to God and to worship with a true believing Church. I could not found any church in Lagos which should be preaching nothing but the truth.
I'm talking to every sincere Christian where ever you are and especially those in Lagos. I discover that most churches(Pentecostal and non Pentecostal) are preaching what suit them, and they don't care much in correcting evil. they overlook many sin etc.

Now pls. whatever happen to you do not Join Jehovah witness (Ndi Ama Jehovah).

Before I say why you should not join them , let me first of all tell you my own side of the story when I was in your situation.

I had to visit many churches while looking for a comfortable church where I can worship.
As I was having this problem, I didn't know that God was watching me. So, one day God took my thought to his word while I was in the church.

No body could help me but God. So God took me to
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

So, this was the potion of the bible that settled the issue for me.

Pls. when you come to church refuse to look at anybody. always learn to look onto Jesus, he is the author and finisher of the christian faith.
Don't look at any pastor or church member even if he/she is your friend.

Let me also remind you that it is such a great thing to desire to be close to God, But God is restraining you from Joining Jehovah witness. I don't know where you are in Lagos but look for any Bible believing Church and Join; you can Join:
Redeem
Dipper life
Assemblies of God
TREM
Church of God
Four Square
winners
Choosing
Anglican Church
Methodist Church
etc.

But As I said when you go there don't look at anybody live your life the way Bible tought you.

I don't have enough time to tell about Jehovah witness.
Jehovah witness was formed Charles T. Rusell (Find our about the Man).

Jehovah's witnesses are generally good people who strive hard to please God. While they are misguided, they have good intentions. If they come to your door, be courteous, even if you're not interested. Keep in mind that they are not being paid for going out to your door and that they only seek to please God.

Jehovah's witnesses are thoroughly educated in using the Bible. They are trained in using the weakness of church doctrine to gain the interest of a potential convert. An example of such weaknesses are the trinity and the divinity of Jesus (pbuh) doctrines. These teachings do not exist in the Bible. There are, however, many verses that contradict such teachings. A Witness will normally begin by asking what you think of the state of the world today. They then segue to the Bible, and eventually lead the prospect to one of the area's they were trained in. Jehovah's Witnesses meet five hours a week, usually spread out to three meetings. One of the meetings is solely meant to teach and prepare witnesses for their service work (or field work). Once a potential shows interest, they are offered a free home Bible study, and may even begin to attend meetings. That is how it begins. Before long, they may be baptized and accept the Watchtower as God's organization. The Witness never realizes that they never tested or questioned the organization. But you see, they will enjoy visiting you when they discover that you are not matured enough in Christian faith.

Please check out more about the founder so you can see the kind of person he was.
Considering what they believe they are not Christians.


Pls. before I summarise, see what The Bible has to say about them.

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

So, actually they are the same with Islam except that they are more subtle that the Muslim because they look more like Christians.
Remember that what makes a church true is what they believe and what they teach.

NB: Jehovah witness people knowledge of the Bible is actually limited becouse they limit them self tyo the area that suit their teaching. So they can stand a mature Christian that know the Bible. I can tell more more about them but no time for that now. But you can still ask any question.

Finally don't Join Jehovah witness if you want to go to heaven.
Christianity EtcRe: The Mark Of The Beast - If You See It, It’s Too Late. by Ozichim(m): 5:29pm On Dec 09, 2011
I hope so. I really wish it should be the way you discribe. I have been looking for clearer understanding of the end time events.
If there will be another chance that will be good.

But my advice to every believer is that they shouldn't relax waiting for the second chance to prove their faith.
One don't really know how he/she will die.

When exactly do we think the rapture will take place.

Now check this out and I can explain more if need be.
There are clear different between Great tribulation and the wrath of God.

There are basically two belief here:
Pre-Tribulation rapture
Mid-Tribulation rapture
there is a third one (Post Tribulation) but I don't think that one has biblical backing.

Pre-tibulation I think would have been better for Christians and it is the most popular or most well explained by believers.

Pre-tribulation rapture is the rapture comming before the great tribulation.
If the rapture should come before the great tribulation then thats well and good by His grace I'm ready.

But I don't think; the scripture has not been contradicted if we get med-tribulation rapture.

Can somebody throw more light on this.
When will the Great tribulation come? When will it start and when will it end.
When will the wrath of God Start and when will it end?


Now another question:
Those that missed the rapture but managed not to recieve the mark of the beast; (lets assume that as many as did not recieve the mark must be killed even if they are in the forest) after they have been killed; when will they come to heaven?

Does it mean that those tribulation saints have (and will miss) the marriage supper of the lamb?

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

This marriage supper comes soon after rapture. And as I said before the resurection of the deaths in Christ also took place at the rapture.

I'm not sure when the resuraction/rapture of those that got the second chance took place. And again after the rapture I don't think there is another people hervested(second rapture).

Aslo after the rapture the wrath of God follows and this is so terrible. So the things are not very clear to me.
Christianity EtcRe: Demolishing The Falsehood Of Christianity And Its Bible by Ozichim(m): 2:48pm On Dec 09, 2011
I agree with you about the Jesus you believe and the Jesus Christians believe. Can you Imagin somebody coming to teach you about your father. It sounds funny that one man appeared and begin to tell Christians what they believe, after about 1500 years.

When you say Allah is the greatest @LegoShia "Islam is the TRUTH!Allah Is The Greatest!!!!]" It doesn't change anything.

If you are deceived you are deceived.

Tell me what Allah has done Before and now that make you believe in Him. What is the proves that He is the true God. Pls. don't tell me the Story pulled from the Bible.
Is it becouse Mohammed won (did not loose) a Battle? or
Is it becouse Mohammed conquered many tribes/towns for Allah and they become Islam?
no no no no! you are wiser than that.

I have told you the truth and you did not believe.

Matthew 9:13  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Romans 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

I'm talking to you and every other person that has not accepted Christ into his life.
In Islam, is it a crime to pray asking God to have mercy on you and to show you the truth?

I'm trying to suggest that you ask God to reveal the truth to you; ie ask Jesus to prove himself to you if He is real or not.

Hebrews 9:26  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

We are all human any body can make mistake, anybody can be deceived, So I don't think it should be a crime for any human to insist on confirming that what he/she believe is the truth.

Acts 17:11   These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

In as much as we are explaining and defending what we believe, we should also know that one should be able to question himself about his belief.

I have done all this. I was being forced to church before, until I have to confirm manything my self.

A well known American Layer has toured the world and the middle east while trying to disprove Christianity only to surprisingly confirming that every Story in the Bible is true. This man, I will try to get his name is not even a Christian.

If we value our life which I think we should we should be sure that we are not making a mistake.

I did not believe on The Lord Jesus Christ because my prayer is answered when I pray but because I have confirmed and discovered that everything about it is clear and real.

Are you not surprise that every other religion seems to be hovering around Christianity?  

I know that no sane person will hate himself (I mean His life).
Your life (I mean your real life ie. Life after dearth) Worth's more than your faith/belief. ie consider it first before your faith. You shouldn't toss with it.

So,
Where are you going when you die?
Are you sure?

                   This is a special and uncommon claim. And somebody has actually diffited death.

1 Corinthians 15:55  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Matthew 28:1  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Matthew 28:2  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Matthew 28:3   His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
Matthew 28:4  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
Matthew 28:5  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Matthew 28:6  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew 28:7  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

So, pls. believe me somebody has power over death and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Romans 9:33  As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Romans 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Christianity EtcRe: The Mark Of The Beast - If You See It, It’s Too Late. by Ozichim(m): 11:23am On Dec 09, 2011
I agreed with you concerning the Mark of the Beast and the great tribulation. It will really be terrible.
But I'am not sure or I can't guaranty that there will be another opportunity for anybody that missed the rapture.

Consedring the following verses:
Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Hebrews 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Also.
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

So you see, The end time issue and the mark of the beast could also be a time of clear distinction between believers and unbelievers and then the harvest will take place.
I can't guaranty any opportunity of making heaven after rapture. Bearing in mind that rapture involves the resurrection of the saints who are already death before the rapture.

After the rapture the world will face the wrath of God. Where God will punish those in earth including the antichrist.
Christianity EtcRe: Demolishing The Falsehood Of Christianity And Its Bible by Ozichim(m): 10:25am On Dec 09, 2011
Which Question is unanswered?
Christianity EtcRe: Demolishing The Falsehood Of Christianity And Its Bible by Ozichim(m): 9:17am On Dec 09, 2011
I won't say I'm surprise to see this topic; especially when it comes from a Muslim.
For those that doesn't know; Islam is a failed project from Allah via Mohammed. So, why should somebody be surprise to see such topic (" Demolishing The Falsehood of Christianity And It's Bible"wink coming from a disciples of Mohammed.

This is the mandate of Allah to Mohammed. But even after all effort from Allah; Christianity is still growing bigger and stronger.

One of the amassing thing is that LegoShia called Christianity and the Bible Falsehood.
Pls. I call on true Muslims to arrest and prosecute LagoShia for blaspheme.

LagoShia is saying that Mohammed copied from a False Book "Bible" Hence calling Mohammed a 419 Prophet. (LagoShia Should be manhandled by Muslim members).
Even according to the Muslims, Mohammed (Koran) acknowledged that Jesus is Divine and holy and prophet; but LagoShia said that both Allah and Mohammed are liars by calling Christianity and Bible False.

Matthew 13:31  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Matthew 13:32  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

The above parable said that Christianity will grow larger than any other religion. This was said many years before it happen; as you can see today.
The Bible/Christianity has lived for over 6000 years before Islam, but Mohammed and his disciples think that they can Demolish it.


As we said before we Christians do not fight for their God, though we love him with all our heart and soul (As you can see we are always ready to die for our God and our faith; millions of Christains has already done that).
Since you are reading the bible with us you must have learnt that our God is a consuming fire.
You see what He did in the bible;
Our God can rebuke the wind
Our God can rebuke the Sun,
Our God can rain down fire from Heaven, (John pleaded with Jesus to allow him call down fire to distroy entire town but Jesus rebuked him).
Elijah actually did it.
Our God can rebuke the Sea (I cannot exhaust all that our God can do). Our God can do all things.

Luke 9:54  And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
Luke 17:29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

LagoShia, If you don't have fear and respect for Christianity and the Bible the Devil will shut-up your mouth for you because he (Satan) tremble before our God.

Matthew 18:9  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Mark 9:43  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mark 9:44  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark 9:45  And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Outside Islam, many other people, groups, Kings, leaders etc have tried to Demolish Christianity and the Bible before; but it makes Christianity shine brighter, (You know, Diamond and Steal shine more and more brighter as you put them on fire)

For those that does not know what Islam and its like Stand for; please see what John has to say about them:

1 John 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7  For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Let me tell you the church (Christianity) has come to stay and has been there far before Islam and no gate of hell can prevail against it.

Matthew 16:15  He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matthew 16:16  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:17  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 16:18  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:19  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

If Christianity should fall on (Come against) anything, (any group, any religion) it will grind it into powder.
Matthew 21:44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

But you see we Christians are interested in your salvation more than anything else. So pls. instead of making jest of the whole thing; try and surrender your life to Christ now that your still alive, he will still forgive you; and your name will be written in the book of live.
Christianity EtcRe: How Do We Know That Jesus Is The Son Of God? by Ozichim(m): 3:35pm On Dec 08, 2011
One thing is Important. It is weather one accepts our Lord Jesus as His/her lord and Savior that matters.

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Luke 9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

So, Pls. I really wish you accept Jesus into your life.
I wish you God's favor in Jesus name Amen!
Christianity EtcRe: Was Mohammed The Prophet Of Whom Moses Spoke? by Ozichim(m): 12:08pm On Dec 08, 2011
Why should the Muslims be looking for Mohammed's ID in the bible?

Pls. There is no connection between Christians/Jews and the Muslims.


For your information it wasn't only Muslims that had tried to copy some parts of the Bible. Even OOO members have tried to claim that their founder OOO is the Holy Spirit.

Somehow, I don't blame them; It is only the Original/superior/quality/authentic thing that can be imitated.

Devil should live the Bible alone. Satan should stop trying to manipulate the Bible because it will never work.

If Muslims want to know the ID of their Allah and Mohamed they shouldn't look for it in the Bible.

Christians know the God they are serving, They also know Jesus Christ verywell. There is nothing confussing. Christianity never reffer anybody to another religious book for Identity or Identity clarification.
We equally know the Devil (Satan, Old Serpent) etc.

I have told them before that the Bible did not say anything about Mohamed or Allah, But the Bible said a lot about the Devil (Satan) and the Anti-Christ.

Please, people should stop confussing their members by trying to link Bible and Koran. As, I said it is not only Islam that copied some Bible portion for manipulation.

But at least Islam Called their own spiritual book Koran after copying the bible; some other group deliberately carried the entire Bible (while changing selected things) and still call it Bible; while doing their thing including worshiping their own god.
Christianity EtcRe: How Do We Know That Jesus Is The Son Of God? by Ozichim(m): 3:36pm On Dec 07, 2011
I don't know your stand. Are you Muslim or Hindu or OOO or watch tower or eckanker etc.

Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

John 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

John 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Even the Muslims acknowledge that Jesus new no sin. Hence he is holy. Note that only God is holy.

You seems to be confused, are you saying that He (Jesus) shouldn't have let people know that the crucifixion experience was painful. What are you saying. that will be a lie. However, I told you that for the sacrifice to be accepted, the Sacrifice object has to be a man and no man was qualified to pay the price for human race.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

God is holy and when Christ was bearing the sin of the world, God has to forsake him for that moment just as God will forsake any sinful man even today.
All these were recorded for human to bear witness and for proper understanding.
As I told you before, all those cries and agony and exclamations are all for the pain and heart breaking experience of the cross; don't let me repeat my self.

You can consult your dictionary for the word coward. A coward will run away when the attackers approach, A coward will not go by himself to submit to his arresters and even stop his disciples from fighting. A coward will not be healing and forgiving his killers even while they are killing him. Check the word crucifixion in the dictionary. God choose to do it this way.

But the Sacrifice for human redemption must be complete, it is God's very serious project.

If you have another question on christian belief you can ask, else stop repeating your self.
off-couse you can believe what you want, but it doesn't change the truth.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Look for black goat while it is day. Repent before it is too late.
Christianity EtcRe: How Do We Know That Jesus Is The Son Of God? by Ozichim(m): 1:32pm On Dec 07, 2011
There is nothing hidden in the Bible.
Christ want everybody to know the kind of painful, sorrowful and shameful death Christ paid for us.

From this you can see why God will turn his back to anybody that failed to accept Christ as his lord and savior. No matter how much the person cry. Life eternity in hell is not what somebody can imagine. it should be terrible.

I don't know what you mean by "coward" even when Christ was arrested he was still forgiving a sinner his sin. He was still healing the

Matthew 26:51  And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
Matthew 26:52  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Matthew 26:53   Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:54  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

John 18:3  Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
John 18:4  Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
John 18:5  They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
John 18:6  As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
John 18:7  Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
John 18:8  Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

John 18:10  Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Luke 22:49  When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
Luke 22:50  And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
Luke 22:51  And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
Luke 22:52  Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?


So, you see I don't understand what you mean by coward? Even when Christ was arrested he was still in Charge.
Everything that happened was for purpose ie God want it that way.

Seeing the account of his arrest you will see bravery and in fact it is more than bravery; because if you read it all through you notice that Christ was complete in charge.

You don't fight for Christian God. Christian God is a consuming fire. It is a fake and weakling god you can fight for. Mountings tremble before our God.

Luke 23:33  And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Luke 23:34  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Luke 23:39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Luke 23:40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Luke 23:41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luke 23:42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Luke 23:43  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Luke 23:44  And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Luke 23:45  And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

Pls. you may not have such opportunity like the thief nailed on the cross. Accept Christ before it is too late.
As I said Christ was in charge all through.

I'm not trying to convince you, What I'm doing was to explain things so you will not be ignorant of any. So that if you found your self in Hell fire you will definitely blame your self. Turn to Christ now.

So, you are ignorant to call it cowardice.
But as for Shamfullness, is it not enough shame for God to even take human flesh and live in this earth with his creatures?
God want the sacrifice to be complete and well done.
See the things involved in the dearth (They are all deliberate):

@the_seeker,
Mark 10:18-24
New International Version (NIV) 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.


This man Called Jesus "GOOD MASTER", Jesus deliberately echoed it to the hearing of everybody. He want to let people know that the man called him Good and no other person is Good except God. So he was just telling the man and everybody that the man called him God.

Can't you see that he did not deny to be Good and he did not ask the man not to call him Good. So he accepted the worship.

Let me tell you that the man that called Jesus Good Master is a Jew and he was aware that no man is Good except God.
So, even While Jesus has not returned to his Glory( While he was still on earth he was been worshiped and was recieving worship).

Note that Jesus Christ was human when He was on earth. infact that is why blood even has to comeout. He choose to be in human form. Anybody that should be redeem man ie pay the banality for sin has to be human. so that is why he has to be human so he will also be treated as man and feel pain like human.

Even now we know that God can be angry or happy, remember we are made in Gods Image.
He was also tempted like human. He was also burn by human.

Just believe it, He took human form so as to qualify to pay for human sin. So those human feeling were not removed otherwise The devil may have complained. Sin has to be punished that is why the Devil will and all sinners will definite and legitimately be punished for ever in hell.

You that reading, this is the Christian message. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

Remember that if a Judge pardon an offender and ask him to go free, if the offender refuse the pardon, then he will have to serve the judgment (Which can be either dearth or some years in reason).

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Remember that he rose again from the dearth.
It is easier to die than to rise from the dearth. there is no record of such before.

So Jesus Christ has defeated death hence should be trusted to deliver man from the second death. This qualify Him to be the way, the truth and the life.

John 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.



1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.


1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1 Corinthians 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1 Corinthians 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1 Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

So, you see Christ is the chief Conner stone. Pls. do not take this likely, give your life to Christ while your are alive. Hell and heaven is real.

Many have died and came back to life to testify that all that Christ said are correct and many has seen hell.
Many has seen Christ. So you see, we are not claiming anything, we are sure of what be believe.

Don't make mockery of Gods redemption plan for man. So long you are still breathing you still have the opportunity to believe so that your sin will be forgiven; and them you can make heaven.

That is the essence of life. Nothing goes for nothing. What plan of salvation does Mohamed has for salvation.
Man Failed from  the glory and God set a plan for mans redemption hence the reason Christ came. God planned to come in Human form to pay the prise of sin for Human. Now any man that put his faith and accept Christ surferring will have his sin forgiven since Christ has paid the price for him.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Only God has power and qualification to do that. Because God will punish every sin. ie no sin will go unpunished.
But because God created man and want to redeem man he made provision for man's salvation he came down hemself to pay the price for man. This is so wonderful. We all are witnesses to this that as soon as you acknowledge this something special will happen to you. you will be redeemed.


This sounds very logical and real, anything outside this is manipulation.

That is why Bible said.

John 1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John 1:11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

So, that why Jesus was also called the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.

John 10:7  Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:8  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:9  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:10  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:11  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:12  But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

So, God planned this death of Christ even before Noah time (More than 7000 year ago). We call it sacrifice, it is not ordinary death; and it has to be dearth on the cross so he can redeem man (Those that believe on HIM) from every course. for it is written course is he that is hung on the cross.

John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?


Why should somebody still be doubting the claims made by Christ himself.

Without fear of contradiction we are very sure of who Jesus Christ is. The only thing we are doing now is to tell people about Christ.
Because except they put their faith on Him (Jesus Christ) they will like wise perish.


John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

I want to start by clearing some popular misconceptions amongst Muslims and some young Christians.

Please anybody that thinks that the Muslem god "Allah" is the same as the Christian God "Jehovah" is really deceived.

The author of Christian is Jesus Christ.
The Christian God can be called Yahweh or Jehovah.

The founder of Muslem is Mohamed
The Muslem god according to Mohamed is called Allah.

Christians and Muslims are completely different, they never look alike.
"Jehovah" is and will never be the same as Muslem god "Allah".

So the big question now is who is this Allahhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh?
This question should be left for Muslims to answer.
