Rilamaka: Mr man, I see nothing, only speculations, no validated research, no generalised approved researched, only bunch of homosexuals trying to naturalise their disgusting behaviour. I repeat no animal isYes no animal is homosexual but they have and exhibit homosexual tendencies. so why are you denying what is there? So scientists made this one up when over 1500 species are involved? Please don't be dishonest |
Rilamaka: Humour me, sorry there are no homosexual animals..... until u create one. Cursed fellowGoogle "homosexuality in animals" and deny what you see. |
Rilamaka: [/b]So those who are celibate are not fit to humans? because that is your argument against gays.so life is all about M R N I G E R D? Then why do we love? Love is not among the characters |
@ free radical In nature, there is no bad or good, no reward or punishment, just consequences.It is humans that define good or bad not any god anywhere. |
God also created homosexual animals so why the noise about "high moral culture"? Is Nigeria more moral than Britain? Hypocrisy @ its peak.why not kill all albinos 'cause they are different? There's even a hint of evidence to say Jesus was gay. Jesus said love all but Christians just keep judging.Spread love and not hate. |
Deha: I believe u dont know God..Firstly,you need to Know God personally...When u do,u will realise that u have been Wrong all along........Sigmund Freud will tell u betterSigmund Freud was an atheist |
Charles noble: PETER, JESUS FED 5,000 NOT 3000, YOU BEAR PETER BUT YOU DON'T SPEAK LIKE PETER.WHY?Jesus fed 5000 and 3000 people @ 2 different events.hehe...lemme say I lost my faith. |
Leveticus says kill your kids, don't wear clothes of mixed fabric, don't shave your beard etc and some people are hear saying sh*t about tattoos? All these cherry picking Christians. I wanna see someone murder his child 'cos its in the bible. |
Typical mentality of "the man in uniform is always right".That is why even the police batter people for nothing.This is a democracy and the way soldiers are brutalising civilians for nothing and even screaming "you know how I suffer for this uniform" is so bad.One can't even wear a top that has any hint of Camouflage to avoid frog jumping. This country is a jungle. People just want to be soldiers so they can't beat and intimidate while real soldiers like US soldiers go to Afghanistan. |
Thanks macof, I'm waiting to see how Christians can wriggle out of this one. |
T.B Joshua is a philanthropist in Nigeria.He has allegedly performed miracles and fed the poor and needy.If T.B Joshua was to be hanged would the poor and needy just change and shout "hang him! Hang him!" ? Now, back to Jesus, it is the same situation and we can only say either the crowd weren't impressed by jesus' miracles (or they never happened) or God used the. People to kill him..get my drift? |
@ radical So you're saying the same Jesus that fed 3000 people and healed the sick was killed as a result of freewill that is actually gods will? That means there's no freewill |
@radical @ chukwuka Why would god blind them so that they don't recognise their messiah and change? |
Conclusion Whatever may have happened that day, it’s clear that the crowds were not impressed by the works of Jesus, at least not enough to spare his life. And it’s difficult to imagine that the chief priests were so persuasive that they could talk people out of a miracle worker and into a murderer. It’s also difficult to believe that of all those who were healed, that they would all abandon Jesus in his time of need. As impressed as we are today with the works of Jesus, those who lived with him did not seem nearly as impressed. Hypothetically speaking, if the story of Jesus were just a legend (based upon an actual person), the size of the crowds and the miracles performed could’ve been exaggerated one generation after Jesus, and it would’ve been difficult to confirm or deny these details. However, you couldn’t lie and say Jesus did so many great miracles that they made him king of the Jews (people would know that was bullshit). The gospel writers had little choice but to excuse his execution by insisting these witnesses were ignorant and blind. But… what if they weren’t? Source:500questions./# |
The Chief Priests: The reason for the crowd’s change of heart? According to the Bible, the reason the crowd turned on Jesus was because the chief priests and the elders “persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas” (Matt. 27:20, Mark 15:11). The gospels paint the chief priests as antagonists, and I don’t doubt that some of them were corrupt, but they were still probably the best qualified to identify a potential messiah, and they seemed to be doing as God had instructed. The scriptures clearly warned them that God would be testing the Jews by sending false prophets, who would try to impress them by accurately predicting the future and performing signs and wonders. God also instructed them to kill such prophets if they ever tried to lead people away from the one true God. If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul… That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the Lord your God… ~ Deuteronomy 13:1-5 So along comes Jesus, making prophecies, performing signs and wonders, inciting rebellion, and leading Jews to follow an unfamiliar God (one with a child, who came from a human woman), and so the chief priests did exactly as God instructed. If God didn’t want them to kill Jesus, perhaps he should’ve been more specific about what they should expect, so there would be no misunderstanding about who to kill and who to worship. On top of all this, Jesus wasn’t exactly matching up with a number of messianic prophecies (as the Jews understood them). So there are many possibilities here: 1. The chief priests were correct about Jesus being a false prophet. 2. The scriptures were man-made, and therefore useless for predicting anything about anyone. 3. Barabbas was a more impressive character than Jesus. 4. The crowds didn’t believe the stories about Lazarus and the other miracles. 5. God blinded all Jews (because of past sins), and prevented them from recognizing their messiah. 6. God permitted Satan to deceive all the people so they would kill Jesus. Most Christians would probably opt for one of the last two explanations, but if either are true, then the Jews (and mankind in general) are not responsible for killing Jesus — God made it impossible for us to recognize him. And strangely, even after the resurrection, we have to presume God continued to prevent the overwhelming majority of Jews from ever recognizing him. (Poor Jews.) Why did the crowd listen to the chief priests? If Jesus had healed me or my family, or raised me from the dead, I wouldn’t give a flying fig what the chief priests said. And according to the gospel of John, the crowds didn’t care. They recognized that these miracles meant that Jesus was something special, even if he didn’t exactly fit their messianic expectations: At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill? Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah? But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.” Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him, but I know him because I am from him and he sent me.” At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. Still, many in the crowd believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man?” ~ John 7:25-32 So the crowds were (reportedly) impressed with the miracles of Jesus, and were willing to overlook a few inconsistencies. And really… who are you going to believe? The guy who can literally walk on water… or the chief priests… who can’t? |
Jesus vs. Barabbas But when it came time for the public to choose between freeing Jesus “the miracle worker” or Barabbas “the murderer” — the choice should’ve been clear, and yet… they chose to free Barabbas. This ancient public opinion poll tells us that Jesus’s approval rating was, somehow, even lower than that of Barabbas’s… who didn’t exactly set the bar very high. The crowd didn’t even free Barabbas because they liked him, but because they disliked Jesus. Luke 23:23 says, “With loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified.” That really doesn’t sound like the actions of a crowd who were deeply impressed by the miracles of Jesus. Where were all of Jesus’s supporters? Where were the crowds that traveled long distances to see him? Or even just the local fans? Where were the apostles? Where was the blind man saying, “Free Jesus, for I was blind and now I see!” Where was the deaf man? The lame man? Jesus’s mother and brothers? The centurion? The bleeding woman? Mary Magdalene? Where was the father whose son was possessed? Where was Lazarus saying, “Free Jesus! For I was dead and Jesus made me alive again!” Where was Zacchaeus saying, “Free Jesus! For I was a short, nerdy, tree-climber and Jesus hung out with me anyway!” Where were the large crowds that spread cloaks and palm branches and sang to him as he entered Jerusalem? Where were the droves that were healed? Or the thousands that were fed? Where were the legions of sick crying out, “Free Jesus so that we too may be healed!”? Where were all these people? If crowds gathered wherever Jesus went, where were they now? Unfortunately, there’s no way for us to go back in time and observe the miracles of Jesus, but thanks to this informal public opinion poll, we know that the people who were there at that time didn’t seem to think much of him. In fact, if they could see all of the cathedrals and mega-churches dedicated to Jesus today, they might say, “What…? You mean that guy? That guy we passed over for Barabbas?! Well, I was there, and I saw what he did, I saw it with my own two eyes! So you can wipe off that grin, I know where he’s been, it’s all been a pack of lies!” (Sorry — Phil Collins humor.) |
According to the gospels, Jesus was a charismatic figure who was constantly attracting crowds wherever he went. People wanted to be healed, see a miracle, or hear what Jesus had to say. Often there were so many people it was difficult to get close to Jesus, and people literally climbed trees (Luke 19:3-4) and cut holes in rooftops (Mark 2:4, Luke 5:19) just to get closer. These crowds also traveled long distances and to remote locations just to see him. Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. Mark 3:7-9 These lucky crowds got to witness some of the most amazing miracles in history. They saw Jesus feed 5,000, heal the lame and the blind, cast out demons, raise people from the dead, and perform so many other miracles that “even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written” (John 21:25). The Bible gives us a snapshot of what these crowds saw: A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. Matthew 12:15 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. Matthew 14:14 (to be continued..) |
Nonso23: candie?Why do you think the Jewish god is self sufficient and allah, alusi, alekwu, zeus etc aren't? There is no universal God anywhere.Each tribe has their own gods. "The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. I would not interfere with any one's religion, either to strengthen it or to weaken it. I am not able to believe one's religion can affect his hereafter one way or the other, no matter what that religion may be. But it may easily be a great comfort to him in this life--hence it is a valuable possession to him." - Mark Twain |
Donjazzy12: They wont!Its not a matter of they won't.if they do would you burn them alive or stone them to death? |
Ifedi kaycee: smh @ur level of ignorance!Ignorance? Show me how my post is ignorant. |
50calibre: Nah! I'm not blaming the white man, I'm blaming you for accepting everything the white man tells you. Homosexuality is alien to African values & tradition, that's a fact!! The most gay-friendly nations in the world, are white nations, the gay cause & propaganda is being championed & propagated by the white nations & their media, we can see this in how vigourously the US & UK, pursue those countries who've refused to accept homosexuality.Nigga homosexuality has been in Africa since.This is why whites remain superior.They find facts and use them while the black man holds unto a Jewish or Arab book. |
50calibre: You are talking nonsense, & you know it. My question to you is, when will you start using your brain to think & make decisions for yourself, instead of swallowing every western propaganda/ideology thrown your way, & then regurgitating it whenever and wherever you feel like?Oya no shout. When the white men were learning science and opening their minds, your ancestors were killing cocks for gods.we must continue to accept science from the west because we turn our schools to religious houses instead of teaching science. |

texanomaly: The band, or the act of?The act of public disturbance |
ajayikayod: Why is dt paining u?Ever heard of public disturbance? |
Calling faith the death of intelligence is an insult? Okay R_R, I'm sorry.kai! |
All these ifa apologists are spewing rubbish.so ifa is now universal? This is the same claim that Christianity is universal.it is the same enforcement of a tribal god upon different people.There is no universal god and nobody is swearing by any ile before taking a public office.Ifa should give us the cure for aids if it is scientific and universal. |
Faith is the death of intelligence and rapture_ready is living proof of the statement.So children in places like Zimbabwe,sudan,somalia etc that had MTC transmission of HIV aren't with god? Smh |
ajayikayod: I m not in a position to prove God to u, i ve seen ppl b4 who cant actually see tins clearly even wen placed closely to thr sight.You can't prove god and you guys go about blaring shi.t on loudspeakers? Talk about hocus-pocus. |
How does one become registered on the global runs site? |
ajayikayod: U r lying. Scientist and Life itself dont claim thr is no God, Atheist did.Tell me how life has said there is a god. Unless you produce evidence for God, atheists have the right to dismiss your claims. |
^^ Please get off the internet. You are to stupid to understand science and life.why don't you believe the yoruba creation story but want us to believe the Jewish one brought to us by slave traders? |
