There's no blasphemy in it.Its just that such names aren't so common here.The Mexicans and Spanish name their kids "Jesus".

Nid past Q n A pls...Thanks

Any help with past Q n A?I need it badly.Thanks

hisblud: like which one? ask a judge that sends a culprit to prison becos he breaks the law of the land. If you hear and not believe, you reject His off. Those that have not heard about De death and burial and resurrection of Christ, He will judge them by their works since they know His laws in thier hearts
can you compare light and darkness? Make an independent analysis of the two persons [Jesus and Mohammed] that claim to be speaking about God and judge -character, deity, words etc
thats what criminals say when they are in jail, blaming others, not seeing that they were wrong in the first place. Natural disasters, do you believe in adam? Ask adam why?
if you knew that angels are wondering what great love God has for mankind thru the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. His service is for me is to be a king and priest unto God and to reign in THIS life.
a lot of people like you dont see themselves in Christ as kings and priest who serve the King of Kings but a "slave" to a hash task "master".

1.claims like " no one comes to the father except through me".What happens to the others that can die for their faith? I'm sure you can't die for any Jesus.
2.A judge doesn't sentence people based on their beliefs but their actions.A judge cannot sentence me to jail for believing that I have a right to beat my wife (traditionally) lol..he can only dissolve my marriage(sentence) if I beat her.get my drift?
3.haha...so Jesus was perfect eh? After flogging old men and "setting father against son"? You've been educated to believe Jesus so I understand your bias.was Jesus a better person than Buddha ?
4.oh, Adam knows why volcanoes erupt and wipe out entire villages,why children die of hunger in Sudan, why malaria continues to ravage the African continent and why floods continue to wash lives away?you need science.
5.since the people already know the law in their hearts why did Jesus send his missionaries to come and enslave Africans?pls...no Jew died for anybody.Take responsibility for your actions and in-actions.

Emusan: @bold-prove what?
Not that if the Bible is true; the Bible is true simple.
Nope.that like saying the criminal is innocent because he says so.The bible must stand up to scrutiny if it has to be accepted as the "word of god"

Man causes all the atrocities through disobedient, not God and God has provided away of overcoming the fall of man in Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour.
I don't see how calling Jesus is gonna save a human from flood waters, hurricanes and drought.

Did Olodumare of Yorubas claim to be ancient of days, evelasting father, only living God, and universal God?
I don't know if he claimed so.a claim isn't true until its proven.have you read all other religious books and codes to find that their gods didn't make such a claim?

Where did you see it in my post that hell is for those who are not born into christian home?

Hell are for all unrightueosness one who walks not in the way of the living God.

There are many gods,all living according to their worshippers.

It happens through the fall of man always know that.

What causes the starving?
Why peterphd is not among the starving children?
The starving is due to the nature of land in certain areas of the planet as well as unequal distribution of resources

You can't see it because you put a wrong glass.

And how many people asteroids have killed compare to plane crash, motor accident, bombs, collapse of building ever created by man?


You're still confuse about it, Bible God is as real as water QED!
Naa...so is allah, Buddha, Krishna, sango etc.

Just always remember man causes it. Like peterphd right now.
Yea! Scientist will do better no wonder they're still searching every where just for this mythical God Hmm!

I don't know
How to answer this

No problem bro. I always do that's why I can reply your post with the help of God. But sometime try to reason out of your own dark BOX and ask yourself if 'spiritualism' is not true why some people still hold on to it as TRUE despite that they know much/even more about science like peterphd, ooman, logicboy e.t.c?

The last time I check only Jesus ever died and resurrected, and still leave til date. Holyspirit is a witness to us-Heb 10:15

It is only a claim written in a book.going by your logic I can say snow white rose from the dead after a kiss and claim it to be true.

pls prove how other religions can do/claim what Jesus Christ do/claim?
Sure.Muslims claim to be able to deliver people from "demons", to be able to "forgive people their sins" and give them peace.
Shalom!

I don't know how to separate this thing point by point on mobile.thanks.

Emusan: John 8:32-Yea shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Who is this truth? John 14:6-Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and life no man cometh unto thr father, but by me.

What christian is claiming is a God who created heaven and earth, the ancient of days, evelasting father, one and only true God.

If you can challenge me bring any religion quote where their gods claim to be the above statement.

Yes He will judge you if you fail to know and worship Him.



No wonder they try to claim that Bible support the coming of their SAW! And other religions focus on christianity to fulfill the prophesy.



I can't see how man with his level and advance in technology can't prevent natural disatsers.



Oh man out of dust! Why are thou being beguilled at the beautiful place God has provided for you in a perfect world?



Anything He does, He does it at His own will and man must accept it.
If you fail to admit that it's God's will, I do.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The bible is the claimant so it needs a "witness" to prove it.The bible God is responsible for all the atrocities in the world IF the bible is true.he split languages, religion and other evils.

The yorubas have their own creation story.Why should I believe the Jewish myth? Can you prove that olodumare didn't create the world like they claim?

So you're saying some people are bound for hell by virtue of not being born into a Christian home? That's the height of terrorism.

So its God's will for the earth to swallow humans in earthquakes? For children to starve in Africa? For floods to wipe out entire towns? I can't worship such a terrorist.man isn't talking about preventing them as science has explained their cause but men are the ones that help the victims and not any Jewish god.

I don't see how the world is perfect when we all know the universe is trying to kill us. We have asteroids and everything.

If the bible God is real then he botched the creation job he called perfect.I'm sure scientists could do better.he planted evidence of evolution, common ancestry and expects us to believe by "faith" and serve him for 80 yrs? *smh*
P.S: I'm sorry if my post isn't orderly but try to reason out of your Christian "box".All religions can do what your Jesus can do.peace.

Rhymeyjohn: If you are an athiest, then you obviously exemplify the confusion in atheism. i would have loved to give answer to the point you raised, but if a logical athiest could put this here as reason to be an athiest, then, no need wasting time. in one word, every thing you put up here should rather make a so called logical person an anti-christian and not a athiest put on the right thinking cap

I can only seem anti-Christian because I'm from a Christian background.I can't go about bashing Islam when I don't know how to read the Koran.if you say my reasons aren't good enough, tell me :
1.what makes Nigerians to pray against "blood-sucking demons" that cause accidents instead of we heaping pressure on government to help of get better roads?
2.what makes people go about preaching that our "destinies" are tied to some Israeli myth?
3.What makes people to say "God's time is the best" instead of bettering themselves?
P.S: all religions are true...to their believers.kapiche?

I don't know why people should be so homophobic.we African are waiting for a Jewish zombie to come back instead of making our world a better place.Once again, the rulers have fed the dogs with crumbs so that they'll forget other pressing issues.We'll continue to remain ages behind when we decide to be stupidly religious.Man should always be free!

Thanks man.

Well, I have been watching the scoan for quite a number of years now and there are services about 3 times a week and we get to see lots of "reconciliation" of estranged couples and "deliverance".All the years I have been on that channel, I have never witnessed a wedding taking place at the scoan and I have the following questions.

1.Do weddings take place at the scoan?

2.if yes, why aren't they televised or made public in anyway?

3.if no, where do all the estranged couples that are reconciled from?

I'd appreciate all replies.
P.S: Mods please move this to the front page so as to get as much feedback as possible.

Ayomivic: How is he a pagan deity? We are not worshiping a dead god. We are worshiping a living God. Pagans gods are deaf and dumb.

You don't worship a dead god?please tell us how you dared your village oracle if you aren't scared.

Larryfly: d most embarrasing for me is that wizkid and wande dint show up.........2chainz would have been an agbero if he were a nigerian....dude is whack...music no fit am at all

It might interest you to know that 2chainz went to college on scholarshp and made a cumulative GPA score of 4.0.please check yourself before you call him agbero and he's probably richer than you can ever be in your life.peace.

Ochek: Trust me. I know loads of Idoma families on family planning and re enjoying their lives both on the idoma soil and abroad (outside Benue and beyond).
The alekwu thing is more no the extinct now bro. Back in time, almost all family house in the village had a shrine dedicated to alekwu but such ain't the case no more.
Here is the logic, if you serve the devil, you must play by his terms.
To think and say this still remains a common trend among the idoma origin is highly delusional.

Hmm...thanks.I was scared silly of some faceless spirits that come to kill their own people.it only reinforced my view that African gods only know how to make their own people mad.

NoProphecy: It is always funny to hear about people going to an ER, taking advantage of all the tools and processes that came out of Scientific discovery, and then thanking an imaginary being.

Nice one but the part where you say "God can be factored in" brings us to the question "which of the over 2million gods?"if there is a god like you claim he probably doesn't give a hoot about the universe.

Ochek: Never heard this before o! However, i'm aware of the alekwu dealing mysteriously with women who commit adultery. It would also deal with the man if he is aware of her act (weather been told or catches her in the act) yet keep mute about it or takes no adequate measures.
It is important to note that in this present generation, where most families are now Christians, the worship of alekwu is no longer in play hence it's powers.
They used to keep married couples in check. I wish they were active with Jesus's permission then we would ve a more moral society today - like it used to be.

Thanks for your response but if such a thing exists don't you think its inhuman? The one that kills me is the family planning ish.does this mean idomas are to give birth like chickens every 2 years?isn't it time we stopped deceiving ourselves by saying we worship Jesus but holding on to ancestral spirit worship in the name of tradition? These things can be abolished.don't you think so?

Well, some of us considered things like...
1.if the bible claims are true, what about all other religions? Will a good god send people to hell based on their belief alone?(even if they don't believe in Jesus)
2.every religion is as true as the other.If you claim Jesus is real and hold on to him for "benefit" don't you think the Muslim clings on to the Koran for such too?
3.I don't see how any civil human can worship the Abrahamic gods and say they are loving.he holds a 6000yr grudge and cannot protect us on earth from natural disasters.
4.I don't see any good reason why a good God that is omniscient and all knowing should put us on earth to be tested so he can see us burn in hell.he gives angels a full,untested life and expects us to give him 80yrs servitude?
5.some of us have realised that religion is what causes people to accept their situation as "God's will" instead of bettering themselves and with attitude like that,the human race will be wiped out.

Haha...there is no god anywhere.even if there is, I wonder how any civil human being can worship the bible god and call him "loving".That mythical guy is a terrorist!

My problem is how the f.uck some peeps can't keep religion out of daily matters.Religion is the worst thing that has happened on earth and somebody is here saying "the bible says...".y'all should keep your religion to yourselves and yes, prostitution should be legalised.

Wahala90: That is what they tell us. The whole idea (hidden agenda) to discredit God and take your mind away from God.




Yet God's people call on Him and they are answered and we see the results. Even Satan's people call on him and he answers them.

God's people call on him and get answers? It seems this God has forgotten Africans o cos I don't see answers to the yawning chasms[s]

Thanks man

Goodjay: Y are u asking of subject comb? As if u didnt write jamb. Pls stop being too excited and start asking unnecessary questions.

Please if you can't answer STFU.Besides, you're not the only one on this forum.peace.

Hello guys when is the post ume coming up and what's the subject combination for chemical engineering?

@pagan

I know I'm derailing the thread...sort of.I'm just trying to say that they'll just keep going on and on with the argument

I don't know why y'all religious folks keep deceiving yourselves.If there's a God, he isn't Muslim,Christian,Hindu,Buddhist or whatever.The only way we can move forward is not by praying to all these gods but by being united but alas,it can't happen as we are blinded by books authored by goat herders and oh did I forget that these books prohibit the forming of a "one government world"?

eche80: Alekwu does not kill men who try to plan their families. Alekwu would kill a woman who commits adultery and may also kill the husband if he knows about his adulterous wife yet continues to eat her food.

my 2 cents

For real? I have a relative who was very sick and it was said that he tried to stop his wife conceiving as he already had 7 kids.He had to go the village (otukpa) to do some appeasing and he was fine again.I confronted my mum on the issue and she said so...just wanna know.thanks

Ok, I've waited for more idomas to follow but they aint forth coming so I'd like to ask my first question.
1.I have heard of stuff like "alekwu" especially from otukpa and 'okam guys.I really want to know if anything like that exists.I've not been to otukpa before and I heard its so potent that it kills men who try to plan their families.please can anyone confirm or dispel the theory? Thanks.

Emusan: @FOLYKAZE too,

You may be scared not to question God when you're a kid but I'm not. Questioning God is not a problem the major problem is, is your life worthy to question Him? God-s eyes cannot behold iniquity.

If this question is bordering I think this is the right time to move closer to God and find out yourself instead of asking people.

This same question has prompt many people to know more about God.

If I know where God live before He created universe or who created what does that have to do with eternity I'm pursuing? Even to know where God live or how He was created is none of my business because it's not the guaranty of making heaven, my own is to find out whether He exist and once I was able to that the next thing is to rest my hope and faith upon Him.

I think the question should be, Does God really exist or it's just a work of imagination?

Your reply brings us to the question of "which God?".You should realise that if God exists he isn't a muslim,christian,Jew,Buddhist or one of the million gods out there so how do you have faith in something you can't really prove to exist?its Not hard to see that these gods are made up and it is belief that gives them power...the human mind is powerful.

@emusan
You haven't answered the question and you call it childish?I'm sure you had doubts about God as a kid and you were scared with the "don't question God" mantra and you probably are going to do the same thing to your kids lol.It is this invisible man theory that has spoilt Nigerians (youth).They can no longer reason but they wait for God to come and solve all their problems besides, I don't think God would be angry if we asked of his origin afterall,you have to know your lineage very well for you to get a title in the village.

damosky12: you dont need to say anything. He said the gospel truth. Straight foword. "he could also have been an atheist" but the truth prevailed against his own will.

I'm just keeping quiet because the argument will simply go on forever.

Emusan: Firstly, I'm a Yoruba and my forefather are pagan, but when you believe Oduduwa, Sango, Oya e.t.c have power according to history then there're somebody who was sent 'a messager'. Remember people have forsaken the Lord after humans begins to spread on the face of the earth.

@bold-You might thought jewsish impose their religion on us but if I rest my faith on what jews stated then I might turn atheist by now, but I took a step of faith on what they wrote (Bible) and I comfirmed it to be true.

You may ask how? Before Jesus was cruxified He said something in "John 14:16- And I will pray the father, and he shall give another Comforter [which is Holy Spirit], that he may abide with you for ever" After this He said again in verse "17-Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you" Then if Jesus promise a Comforter which I have comfirmed to be true it means Bible is real. But what most Christians lack today is the dwelling of the Holy Spirit in them. With the help of the Holy Spirit I know God exist that's why I can testify. I'm not talking about people that are falling in church and claim it's Holy Spirit *though if someone received Holy Spirit you must fall because the person can't withstand His power* but most of what we see in church today is fake.

Hmmm.... I don't know what to say.
