When people hear the word "RELIGION" what comes to your mind?
Is it what the people do or what God said?
How do you distinguish between what God said and what people do due to their selfish cravings?

Well that man is FOOLISH because just like billions in the world he made no investigations but based on the bad attitude of people around him he ran a conclusion on religion. Psalms 10:4
There is ORIGINAL and FAKE money do you think it's wise to conclude that there's nothing useful in money because of the prevalence of counterfeit money?

This man pursued a career rated by the white supremacists and won an award then became wise in his own eyes always talking trash while his schoolmates who also did the same are looting the treasury box only for him to start speaking the white man's language as if that's what will stop the evil or hinder those looters.

He keeps making statements that's of no use all because he refused to acknowledge the one and only true God who said:

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. Ecclesiastes 4:1

All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. Ecclesiastes 8:9

What is the essence of his worldly philosophy when he's caged in a corner only to become a basket mouth whose utterances only brings more pain to the masses?

For your information, each time people like him utter any word those in politics only restrategize to make life harder for the people because they will work towards making his statements useless. They don't believe in God just as he himself doesn't but they're wiser {Luke 16:8} in the sense that they pretend to be religious so as to gain the support of gullible masses but in their hearts they are real atheists! 2Timothy 3:5

So his statements only rings a bell in the hears of unbelievers who are carried away with the foolishness of this system of things, he knows next to nothing when it comes to religion and politics!

At the end, those who deny God can't make him deny himself
At the time before they die, they start speaking things and you wonder what is scaring them, some are scared and others are negative
Soon, he'll die, buried, become part of history and be forgotten for all time. So atheists and Bible critics come and go, the Bible has always endured for thousands of years, Jehovah remains for all eternity. If I were God, though imperfect as I am, why would I bother myself if someone were to say that about me?
It's like a mad man doubting the sanity of a sane person and shouting it in the market square.
To illustrate, I hear many people say Buhari is not the president of Nigeria, that he died and the person there is a clone or an imposter or a look alike, that is very ridiculous comment I hear but I'm shocked that people still believe so. People still don't believe in corona virus that it exists or existed but an hoax

Corona virus is there whether we believe it or not
Buhari will not force or appeal anyone to believe he is still alive or the same person
How much more the invisible God? Should he come and pay Soyinka a visit? No, Soyinka has millions of evidence around him. If he is really intelligent and wise (not literature smart), he'll see that the existence of God is inexcusable

True my brother, His invisible qualities are seen everywhere and they are INEXCUSABLE! Romans 1:20

Kobojunkie:
1. Notice how you don't really answer the question asked?

I asked if it isn't the one creator of good that also created evil? Is there more than one creator?

2. If you don't believe in the deity described in scripture, that is fine. No need to pitch your deity against any others. Simply asking questions here to ascertain your belief is all.

3. You "create" all these things, all of which eventually end up in the landfill, polluting the sea and earth with no end in sight - this is the meaning of existence? This what amounts to a cycle of meaningless is what you consider the meaning of life?

1. Nothing can exist without the creator.
2. I don't believe, I know.
3. Yes, life is meaningless. You only give it meaning by choosing or doing whatever you desire.


What is the meaning of life to you?

MaxInDHouse:


My parents aren't even believers so you failed woefully, i'm not a fan of nepotism if my own father or mother acts foolishly i won't hesitate to tell him/her

"dad/mum that's foolishness on your path"

Ọmọ nobody will tell you that with LOVE so try to cherish those who will always tell you the truth no matter how bitter it is!

The truth is subjective dear, Your truth is someone else's lie...

Nobody has monopoly of truth.......

MaxInDHouse:


"Noble prize" that has brought nothing good to you or your country.
Abeg shey all you people are atheists sha or you just don't know the meaning of God's word?

In his haughtiness, the wicked man makes no investigation; All his thoughts are: “There is no God.” Psalms 10:4

So don't think i'm the one calling the stupid fool what he really is rather it's the Bible God's word that i echoed:

The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 14:1

According to God's word such a man has no KNOWLEDGE or WISDOM! Proverbs 1:7; 9:10

And what good has your God brought to this country?
Look around you before you reply

You will say that to the most high on the day of resurrection..

Kingpele:
Ok suit yourself but now I realise that old age doesn't define wisdom a man of 85years with great experience and knowledge of the universe can still be foolish human, because only God can give u accurate information about himself and his creation..It takes a higher being to led lower beings into true life experiences...RIP dad we love you

idiot, did he say you should not warship what you believe in or did he condemned any religion?

Laeroy:


The truth is subjective dear, Your truth is someone else's lie...

Try to study the words of Jesus of Nazareth then come back and let's discuss on monopoly of TRUTH! John 14:6

lebron7:

And what good has your God brought to this country?
Look around you before you reply

My God!

So you haven't heard of
"JEHOVAH" the God who made a promise @ Isaiah 2:2-4 and repeated it @ Micah 4:1-3?

Well He used His Active Force to gather millions across the globe, educated them with His word (Bible) and they have settled all their racial disparities among themselves, diverted their resources into production of food and information materials, erased the making buying selling and usage of weapons in their hearts and vowed never to raise weapons against anyone again. And as for WARS they're saying GOODBYE!

That's what my own God is achieving GLOBALLY!

lebron7:

And what good has your God brought to this country?
Look around you before you reply

I'll rather ask, what good has God done to his people?
In this country, there are different gods and many ways of worshiping gods, people do what God hates
When good thing happens, they give credit to politicians and political parties
When bad thing happens, God is to blame

Max has answered well about what Jehovah is doing for his people worldwide but in the future, God will do someone that beats human imagination
He'll end all sicknesses
He'll bring perfection to all mankind ending death, old age, pain
No man will say, 'I'm hungry' as there will be an overabundance of food 'even on the mountains'
The dead will be brought back to life and reunited with their loved ones
The whole earth will be cleansed of all forms of wickedness and pollution, becoming a Paradise
Animals, even the wildest ones will be at peace with other animals and man
There will be no landlord or tenant, everyone has his own house

These and many more are found in the Bible, these are not just promises, these are not manifestoes that we hear today that will never be manifested which is to deceive people for votes, these are promises from God himself written for me and you to see. Unlike politicians, when you remind them of the promises they make, they deny and ask you to provide a written or visual evidence when and where they said so, this is written down for us. Let Jehovah prove himself as God, fulfiller of promises, Almighty or a mere man
Jehovah does not need man approval or vote, his government ruled by Jesus Christ has begun to reign and will bring everlasting blessings to mankind.
But, but, but, they are not for everyone. Someone might say 'I did not vote buhari, I hate him but I'm enjoying his benefits'. These ones are for those who have gained his approval, living lives to please him and obeying his commands with endurance
John 17:3 tells us the kind of people who will enjoy this benefits

Now that I have shown you what God will do, he's giving time to humans to provide the best they can but they are doing only worse, when his kingdom comes, words can't describe.

The ball is now in your court. Do what God requires from us and enjoy his blessings or we do otherwise and perish with this system

Roycemadeit:


I don't believe, I rather know given that belief is an assumption of knowingness.

I don't believe I am on Nairaland.com... I know.


I know there is a creator but he is not in my image, having nyash or sitting somewhere... that will mean that the creator is within his creation, thereby suggesting he is subjected to his creation... Instead, I know the creator is the All and everything exists within the All...

It is laughable that a being God created could attempt to overthrow Him.

I know that Yahweh, the self professed god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was adopted by a government and was christened God- a Norse word, Germanic.

I know that religion is a tool in the hands of the political class and elite.

I know the bible is not factual, neither is it without discrepancies or plagiarized history and legends.

E plenty...

Muhatma Gandhi is a world class renoun Hindu and this is what he said after studying Jesus of Nazareth:


If we can all concentrate on the sermon of this man (Jesus) we will not only solve the problem in our individual countries but solve the world's problem ~ Muhatma Gandhi

Well Muhatma was disappointed in those claiming CHRISTIANS in his own time so he told them:

"You people are unlike your CHRIST"


How i wish Muhatma lived to see what happens when Jesus returned in the year 1914 to restructure his group who now bear a unique group name JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

Of course those people are false religions killing the conscience of many like you! Matthew 24:12

All of una na the same bros.

Man has always created ritual and dogma in order to escape death the fear of death.

Death is inevitable.

Strive to live your life to the fullest now instead of believing in fairy tales about how one deity is coming to repair the world so because of that,you should pretend to be an angel or whatever.

I work in a mortuary and i know what I’m saying.

It’s another world in there.

I’m living my life to the fullest!!

We don't serve/obey the same God by the way, and there is meaning to be had for me beyond all the meaninglessness..

You work in a mortuary, wow... so how long have your worked there?

So what do you think in general about how we treat our dead?,

Religious Nigerians 9/10 will pray and fast for visas to go to semi- atheists countries.make sense of that. You're begging your God to send you to countries that 7/10 don't worship him.

There's no need obeying or serving God... What's the purpose to serving a God that requires nothing? It is either because you are scared of been punished for doing things that are natural or beneficial to you or suppose you would live eternally in a place with fence and mansions with no beds, to sing alleluya forever and ever...

1. So, in believing in your deity, you have no need to obey him as he requires nothing from you and gives you nothing since all you have is meaninglessness to contend with, right?

2. If there is nothing but meaninglessness with your deity, what exactly would there be to be scared of? Why even bother acknowledging the existence of the deity, to begin with, if it all amounts to meaninglessness for you?

I don't believe in my deity.

I do not need to believe in a deity.

I DON'T HAVE A DEITY!

A deity is usually tailored to the culture and tradition of a people... This explains why every tribe or people has deities they worship, use to mark events, and try to explain natural phenomenons around these deity/deities their stories are tied and cultures are empowered, and I must add that as knowledge grow the deities become smaller just as they absorb deities of other people who they suppose are more powerful.

Most cultures are polytheistic. Humans had attributed every unexplainable thing to different deities but the idea of a singular deity, which we see in Abrahamic religions was not original. That's why Christians dance around when asked to explain the Trinity and even the devil, who had enough power to try and overthrow God, in three persons.

Everything you have, your perception of good or bad is solely yours to make. There are options laid before you, you are not going to be judged for killing a person who tries to kill you or stealing to get your family treated when nobody cares. Behind the concept of crime are love and goodness. Even jealousy is sponsored by self-love. These are basic things we should have come to acknowledge but when they continually drum into our ears that some things are bad, we should take out time to examine the concept of good and bad.

So, if you are nurtured to think a woman wearing trousers is bad, then you see a man wearing skirts you would find it an abomination. They are neither bad nor good. Your perceptions solely stem from indoctrination. Just as some people scream against animal cruelty but eat meat.


Fear remains a tool by which humans are controlled. If fire had burned your hand, you will learn not to put your hand in it, you don't fear it, but have a better understanding of it.

It is very interesting to note that most things humans fear are not real, but stem from imagination, anxiety, and irresponsibility.

Humans aren't supposed to live in fear. Just as the bible says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom then turn around to say love the lord your God... One should ask why you fear what you love and not being dumped in an asylum.

However, you think of life and the decisions we make, we must understand that everything has no meaning just a bunch of experiences we get from our choices.

Here are a few questions:

How is it that God who created all tribe prefer one tribe over others?

How would you justify the Godly act and command of killing off children or making virgins slaves for his favorite tribe?

While you answer, think about the perception of those people he hurt of the God of Israel, then of New Testament All Loving God, if you were one of those hurt.

After that, show why the unchangeable God of Israel decided to redeem other tribes in the world? Did he grow love for them or did he not know to have compassion on sinners?

1. You and I don't obviously believe in the same God hence your deity is not my deity. So, Kindly get back to simply answering the question asked instead of writing these epistles to nowhere.

A. So, in believing in your deity, you do not need to obey him as he requires nothing from you and gives you nothing since all you have is meaninglessness to contend with, right?

2. Please avoid fhe many time wasting rehearing and try to stick to subject abeg!

B. If there is nothing but meaninglessness with your deity, what exactly would there be to be scared of? Why even bother acknowledging the existence of the deity, to begin with, if it all amounts to meaninglessness for you?

3. What deity created all yet preferring one tribe?

If you are trying to assert this of the God of Israel, then I am afraid you are mistaken as His plan from even before He conscripted the descendants if Israel was to save people from every language, every tribe and every nation for Himself by using Israel.

4. If you are referring to that written in the National Constitution that is written to have been given by God to the people of Israel, then , again, I am afraid you misconstrue the essence of that Law to the people. That Constitution was designed with many of the same Laws of engage that existed at the time between Nations. The Egyptians, Babylonians,Philistines, Hittites nations of the time had pretty similar laws in the own constitution if you looked carefully. So why not the Nation of Israel?

God added His forever laws, to what seemed the typical Constitution of a Nation at that time, with promise that if the people would diligently obey Him by adopting and obeying the Constitution, He would raise them above all other nations of the earth. And we all know how that has been going so far.

5. I don't follow at all.

6. He didn't change at all. Nor did He suddenly decide to save the other tribes either.

Look, all this does is reveal is you have never in fact read the book without blinders on. Try it someday and you might be shocked..
