My brother, there is no time to argue, Jesus is telling people that he will come soon. Please please, Jesus wants all to come to him, because he will take us up, before the great day of the Lord and the seven year tribulation.

God loves every person and Jesus is coming soon ( i think this year, some say in July, some in October) !!. I myself i am experiencing some signs, and i am not the religious type.

Salvation is a choice and accepting what Jesus has done for us, on the cross, and accepting the gift of God, and trusting in the creator.

I believe you're joking. But assuming you mean what you typed there, then stop quoting me ever cause I don't want to have anything to do with someone thinking at an animal level. You're expecting Jesus by next month? If you mean it, you need to visit a psychiatrist hospital immediately for your own good.
Re: What Are Your Favourite Bible Characters? by SeriouslySense(m): 4:29pm On Jun 05, 2022
I say it in love. But you can choose what you want to believe, its between you and the creator.

Because we may not agree, does not mean its should degenerate to insults. But i understand where you are coming from. Stay in peace.

Its not joke O, the time looks very close, and sometimes, i am tempted to have doubts, but i believe God might be telling me, also that he is coming. Anyway, i will do something amazing now.

Do you know how our ancestors became Christians? Do you know that our ancestors accepted Jesus under duress with guns pointed on their heads. They never accepted Jesus in their right state of mind!!

Because they knew the damage it would do to future generations like you. With people like you, the black race is dead and buried.

This is how we/you became a Christian. See European crimes in Africa: European crimes caught on camera during colonization of Africa. That's how we became Christians under duress.
Re: What Are Your Favourite Bible Characters? by SeriouslySense(m): 4:52pm On Jun 05, 2022
My brother, i understand what you are saying, i dont follow religions, but maybe we should pause, maybe everything happened for our good.

Besides, i can see how you feel hurt, and that is a trap, that state of mind, where you feel hurt, and maybe some unforgiveness, it will pull or drain all your energy.


I know what happened to our ancestor, but what has happened in the past is a lesson, and we should focus on now and moving ahead.

We are not the only ones that were invaded and brutalized, infant they seem to have destroyed other people completely like the aboriginals in Australia. Indians were killed, Chinese experienced it, but they have moved beyond it, because they know where they are going and they are focused on now.

It is not by showing hurt, pains and emotions that we will advance, its through careful persistence


Lets look at it this way, now we know what happened to our ancestors, its now up to us to choose how we move on, and it should not be based on emotions only that our sight cannot see what may be in front of us.

None of the people destroyed have recovered or are moving ahead.

And please take China off it.

China wasn't fully touched.......their language, system of education, religion weren't touched (except in Hong Kong and Taiwan), so they rebounded quickly because their intellect and spirituality remained intact. That's why they're moving forward. Yours and others around the world were completely destroyed. You're powerless and your spirit is dead!!
Re: What Are Your Favourite Bible Characters? by SeriouslySense(m): 5:09pm On Jun 05, 2022
No one is really powerful, just looking at the Universe, it shows we are not relevant by our strength.

But I get what you said, i think its more about value system and cultural influences, i think its time we take responsibility for what we have done to ourselves, we have limited ourselves. We don't work together to make our society better, its no ones fault but ours Its our responsibility and we should accept that we have failed as a people but there is hope and we can be responsible by doing what we should be doing that is helpful for everyone, if we are greedy and cannot work together, we will keep this blame game going with lots of woods around.

No one can make us fail unless we accept that we are inferior and teach our children's that they are inferior.

How and the only way to restore our/your sanity is give up their god, their language, their education.
There's no other way it could be done, unfortunately.
Re: What Are Your Favourite Bible Characters? by SeriouslySense(m): 5:20pm On Jun 05, 2022
Now that is quite a strange way to look at it. But who said it is their religion and Christianity was in Africa before they brought their versions, it was in Ethiopia. Christianity is not as foreign as you think.


Again you have fallen into a trap, and that is a trap, where you attack your people, and choose to set some kind of ultimatum, or limits, or extreme measures. Can't you see that in all places the black man does not think extensively but chooses violence and extreme measures, he is always on the rush to something, without consideration.


Have you not seen that you have fallen into a trap. I wonder what makes your characterization different than a violent black man, in a gun abundant neighborhood who is always full of emotions without consideration or balance or from bandits who think their is the only way.

This characterization, is that of a baby, who must have it his or her way. But can't you not see that you have made a trap for yourself and for others.

Jacob. Its takes a whole new level of twisted 'devilishism' to ask for your own twin brother's birth right in exchange for a pot of porridge.

Lucifer himself must be a fan of his.
it's Deeper than you think. According to the Jews Jacob was the real first born but Esau taught him in the womb while they were coming out and gave their mother pains. Hence, he left it for him. We should study the Bible, not just read it. That's where the beauty is

The Christianity in Ethiopia would have been the original Christianity but king Menelik or his son who sojourned in the Mediterranean region, brought the Christian 1611 AD English bible into Ethiopia, so they switched to European Christianity without realizing it.

Other black people in conquered nations around the world remain the same because of the reasons mentioned earlier.

You're the one going by emotion instead of being practical.
Religion = Emotion.
Christianity = Emotion.
Give up on your emotional attachment to Jesus and you'll actually see clearly because your psychology would change.

Why are you not even thinking about development, why is a spiritual belief so important to give up, is something that is very weird about your thinking. You are not even thinking about Education and skills, and how to design the infrastructure.

This is why its a trap, you have fallen into a trap, and have made a trap for others. I understand how it goes, reject Christianity and we will be developed, its a trap. This kind of thinking does not think about education and sharing vital education amongst community, its thinks majorly about spirituality and why others are bad and its the only right one, that is the trap i refer to explicitly and very clearly.

This is a religious thread, that's why I only discuss religion here.

But if you read carefully, I already pointed out in previous comments that the 3 things that were taken away from us and are inhibiting our development are- Language, Education, Religion. But I can't derail this thread to discuss other aspects. If you're really interested in the other aspects, read the article on my signature. Read the PDF version only.

On that note, I think I am done with this thread.

Goodbye and have a nice day.
Re: What Are Your Favourite Bible Characters? by SeriouslySense(m): 5:55pm On Jun 05, 2022
Language and education, should be where there is a common interest, but for spirituality, no one has the authority to make one certain spirituality the only one, because you are not a creator only the creator should do that. Its simple, avoid traps, or spots that generate disagreement, if you are forming a kind of indigenous unity. Which is a wise thing to do. smiley smiley smiley

Such indigenous unity should not generate another form of conflict or should not be a forceful displacement of ones personal spiritual experiences.

And i encourage you to improve upon your ideals which is for uniting not for shock value neither emotionally charged, but naturally welcoming and for an ideal coexistence

The one thing ALL cultures have in common (if allowed to exist on their own) without external influence are:- language, education, religion. And we already had that in common before our unfortunate encounter with white people.

Once taken away (even one of them) the culture would exist in a state of disorientation forever. And that's a simple summary of the reason we exist the way we're today in Africa because all three have been affected, therefore, we no longer live by our own principles. We have accepted an alien perception of reality to our detriment. That's why we suffer.

You can form an ideal unity, where people have standards, with language, good music, and education in the language, does not have to be one religion. Its more about a shared heritage and code of living. I will stop here i dont think i can convince you in one day smiley smiley
