Lukuluku69:You have failed to mention the Atheist that ended slavery. And if you don't know the role Lincoln played in abolishing slavery in America then you really know nothing about history as you claim. Little history lesson, below are the list of American president who owned slaves. Abraham Lincoln never owned slaves. American Presidents Who Owned Slaves George Washington Thomas Jefferson James Madison James Monroe Andrew Jackson Martin Van Buren William Henry Harrison John Tyler James K. Polk Zachary Taylor Andrew Johnson Ulysses S. Grant Are you really sure you are a student of history? |

tctrills: I And in doing better, who calls the. Shots? Whose Laws/Codes would be applicable to us all? Who defines what is just and what is not? There are Laws and Commands, injuctions in the Bible you carry. Are you ready to abide by them? The Muslims are ready to abide. If we do this, the world will be a better place for us all |
Re: Christianity Is Not Superior* By Olufemi A., Ph.d by tctrills: 11:52am On Aug 04, 2022 |
Lukuluku69:Of course, if it were my call, I would have long since rescued the Muslim world. But like every good citizen of the world, I am concerned. |
Re: Christianity Is Not Superior* By Olufemi A., Ph.d by tctrills: 11:56am On Aug 04, 2022 |
Lukuluku69:First, you do not understand the laws in the bible. Secondly, I would live and abide by the teaches of my religion but would not force or compel anyone to follow my religion. Let me quote from the bible. Joshua 24:15 Choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” My religion allows others to worship, believe and practice whatever they choose. |

tctrills: Well, be the judge and score me if you were to be my Professor as your student. Lol. These names you put up there, please find out if those guys up there were Slaves owners before or after the prohibitions? Abraham Lincoln was he not the President when the North and South of America fought their Civil War! Bros, check well, he owns slaves. |
Re: Christianity Is Not Superior* By Olufemi A., Ph.d by tctrills: 11:59am On Aug 04, 2022 |
Lukuluku69:Oga, your history needs some dusting. All these men were presidents before Lincoln. Don't take my words for it, do a little research. Google 'which American Presidents owned slaves.' |

tctrills: I don't understand the Laws of the Bible? Really really? Please tell me what the Laws of the Bible says when someone entices me to go worship another god aside the one that Inspires Moses? And why did God told Moses to kill the golden calf worshippers if indeed He (God) allows for freedom of worship and why did Moses ordered that a man be stoned to death for breaking the Sabbath which the Lord God has keep holy? I will wait .. |
Re: Christianity Is Not Superior* By Olufemi A., Ph.d by Lukuluku69(m): 12:06pm On Aug 04, 2022 |
tctrills: Oh it need dusting but I am a good student or just an average student? Lol. See, go back and read up on Abraham Lincoln. He owned slaves. Perhaps he freed them later in accordance with the policy of abolition. For I know that the major cause of the war his the issue of slave ownership. The South needs more hands on the farm and for Lands recently seized from the gringos while the the industrial North would have non of that Abraham Lincoln owned slaves. |

tctrills: Just so you know, the Muslims won't abandon the Shariah the way the Jews and Christians did with God's Laws and commandments. When you know this, you will know peace and try to avoid conflict. It is called an everlasting Law for a reason. Unless you are saying God was bluffing with the "everlasting" part I beg I wan go chop |

Lukuluku69:The Bible says many things. The Laws of Moses are not the same Laws practiced by new testament Christians. And one thing you guys do not understand about Christians. We do not depend on the Bible for God's revelations. God has not stopped speaking to man so rather than ask what the bible said or what Moses did, ask what has God revealed about a certain matter. God commanded Abraham to kill his son but today if you see your neighbor about to kill his son, you would call the police. So the question is not what God told Abraham or Moses but what God tells us today. That is the Christian way. |

Lukuluku69:Do you mind quoting your source, sir? Or was this revealed to you personally? |
Re: Christianity Is Not Superior* By Olufemi A., Ph.d by Lukuluku69(m): 12:23pm On Aug 04, 2022 |
tctrills: That is the difference between you and us. God knew you will throw away His Law and follow your whims and caprices. He knew as you said that you do not depend on His revealed Words to live your lives and manage your affairs. On the contrary, the Muslims live and breath the Shari'a. So really, there should be no arguments. For you the Laws in the Bible is of no consequences. You would rather follow what a fallible man says God told him and not what you believed were inspired word to a Spokesperson of God in His Prophets. God told Abraham to kill his son and did you read thru his action he was not going to? That shows his willingness to obey and act. When the sharia says punish, I find it odd that people who are not the culprit or the accused are the one shouting the most. So, what is God telling us today as you can see that the world is in turmoil 1 Like |

Lukuluku69:Well, we can discuss religious views and opinions and that is the beauty of freedom. We can agree or disagree. Wouldn't it be nice if all the world had the same privilege? Imagine a world where we don't force or kill others who don't agree with us, where people can air their views and opinions, and where people can change their opinions openly as they come to learn more. That is what you and I enjoy. The Islamic religion can only be maintained via killing and force. Remove killing and compulsion, add a little bit of human rights and the religion begins to crack. On the other hand, Christianity is the religion of tolerance and freedom. No Christian is compelled or forced. We are Christians because we love our God not because we would be beheaded if we change our minds. That is the difference. 1 Like |

tctrills: There is a fundamental you are still not grasping. Or rather you failed to come to terms with It is this issue of Freedom and Compulsion. Like I said and I will repeat again. In a God's Kingdom, there is no freedom of worship. |
Re: Christianity Is Not Superior* By Olufemi A., Ph.d by tctrills: 12:51pm On Aug 04, 2022 |
Lukuluku69:I get it in your God's kingdom, there is no freedom of worship. That is the big difference between you and every other religion and that is the core of the lack of tolerance we talk about. That is what makes Islam, the most intolerant and dangerous religion on earth. Islam is the only religion that would murder you for changing your opinion. You called it the Kingdom of God so let God fight for his Kingdom. God is capable of Killing all those who disagree with him. If every other religion was like yours, we all would be dead. 1 Like |

tctrills: Still not getting it. Everyone won't die. Only the guilty will be punished. Moses killed the calf worshipers only and the Children of Israel did not die out. The punish may sound harsh and the executioner inhumane, but you can't deny it happened or the commandments came from God. The same God that inspired Moses is still the God that owns everyone. I repeat in the Kingdom of God (where God's Law is supreme, there is no Freedom of Worship) It is okay if you guys feel and act as if God made a mistake inspiring those commandments and injuctions. No matter what you feel about it, it is God's Law and the Muslims are willing are ready to live by it. So long! May we all know peace! |
Re: Christianity Is Not Superior* By Olufemi A., Ph.d by tctrills: 9:11am On Aug 05, 2022 |
Lukuluku69:You are not getting it sir. Your religion and beliefs are different from mine. Your God is different from mine. Jesus Christ the son of God taught us the separation of Church and state. He taught, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. He also made it clear, "My kingdom is not of this world." Jesus Christ was the one that gave Moses the law and when he came, he gave us higher laws. In the Lord's prayer, we say, thy kingdom come. We understand that there is a separation of power. 1 Like |

tctrills: You are right. We follow different path. It shows in our mentality and how we see things but here we are living together as neighbors and country men and women. Man's Law can't fix things, for Man at best is as a crawling baby And you are the one not getting it. So you know why? You Christians have taken the words of that Noble soul, twist it to fit into thousands of discenting voices and philosophies. So much so, you guys openly align and support what Jesus Father outrightly condemned. Yes our philosophy is quite different and that is why Tolerance is key See us as a people that won't change what we hold to be true and as we see you as a people given to changes and can't hold on to what you are commanded. . The same Jesus that gave Moses the Law, is the same that annul that Law and gave you guys a new one. No problem .. He also said his Kingdom is not of this world, yet some of you want to rule in the kingdom that is not of Jesus! Abi? No be juju be thaf? I thought you guys said Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow? Why change of mind? He could have come himself the first time instead of sending Moses? Don't you think? |

Lukuluku69:If you want us to talk about Jesus and Christianity, we would. As for the Muslim law, we have seen how it is fixing things in Northern Nigeria. The northern sharia states are about the poorest and most unsafe places on earth so no the Islamic laws don't work. Even Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states were very poor and constantly at war in the 1800s and early 1900s. It wasn't Sharia that made them what they are today, It was oil and American companies. Sharia has never improved any nation. If you don't believe, visit Pakistan. |

Empiree:Is Ipob a Christian group? Did the article tell you that those northerners were Muslims? You guys need to learn. Ipob is a regional group just like the Fulani herdsmen. But Boko Haram is a religious group. The difference is that Ipob kills for political reasons while Boko Haram kills for the Muslim God. |

tctrills: We can talk about anything if you so wish. The Sharia is not set up to make you "Rich" as you guys think. God blesses Nations and Individuals as He Wills. That is why you will see "blessings/riches" with people who seemingly worship Woods and Images. With All the Blessings God promised Israel (Jacob) he had to soujourn and go look for Food in Egypt. Shari'a purpose is not not build houses and wear find garments it is to regulate the affars of men. I know you guys have been so bombarded with " Blessings/Riches" that you failed to see beyond that. To you, once you see Material stuff, You equate it to Blessings and development. If you put up the example of Pakistan as being backward and underdeveloped because they are Muslims and practice Sharia, then I guess you have never heard of the South of America then, they are majorly Christians, why are they poor also? And stop talking about Wars, Christians and people of Christians extraction have warred and killed more in the last 2,000 years Presently, Russia and Ukraine are killing each other it will be good if you check these Countries ( Russia/Ukraine) demography by Religion. And also on Sharia, please compare the Crime Rate in a Sharia Compliant Nation/s with your Christians Society. When you are done, publish your findings for Nairaland 1 Like |
