Story for the gods.
Of course, it's a story by a god (me) to a fellow god who is passing through temporary problems and another god (you) is commenting on it.

It's actually a story for the gods.

Just like every other negative spirit... Why do you guys "kick" when Christians are talking about their believe.
Okay, nothing to fix here.

Carry on. I won't bother you again.

Enjoy your beliefs in peace.

I'm not a spirit, though. I'm a human like you, minus religious indoctrinations

If he said tomorrow that he's a Muslim and believe in Mohammed, would that change you from Christian to Muslim?
jesusjnr2020:
Imagine when men like Elon Musk (the richest man on the planet, also a frontrunner in the science and technological field of the modern world) and YoungHoon Kim (man with World's Highest IQ on record), would yet be humbling themselves before God their Creator and proudly and publicly taking a stand for Jesus, yet some who can't even lace the shoes of these ones when it comes to their scientific or technological intelligence or prowess, would be feeling their IQ is too high to acknowledge God or use to serve Him because according to them, "it takes someone with a low IQ" to do so.

Well, Wisdom is indeed justified of her children.

God bless.

What are you doing on the sin pages of Nairaland?
Don't you have some heaven's gate to guard, Angel Michael?
Lol, I’m here to win souls for Jesus Christ and to shame Satan, your lord and father. Can’t you see that the people who truly matter are already lining up behind Jesus? It’s only a matter of time — you’ll be left in the fire, all alone, with your lord, Satan!

How Nairaland is “sinful,” according to you, is beyond me. You may have to explain that to @Seun Osewa.

It is good, but only heaven knows.

Agreeing doesn't necessarily mean submission, and neither does it translate to repentance. But as I mentioned earlier, only heaven knows, and they will surely rejoice at the repentance of One.

What a weird interpretation by the zealots celebrating above. I've never heard anyone express their faith this way.

Agreeing with the teachings of jesus doesn't necessarily make him a Christian.

One can say they agree with the teachings of Buddha without being Buddhists themselves
Re: "I Agree With The Teachings Of Jesus" World's Richest Man Elon Musk Says(photo) by dederocs(m): 9:48am On Feb 22
The story of Jesus is really inspiring, among all the prophets he had the most profound story and left lessons and messages that can bring peace to the world, compared to other prophets...even though some Christians are phony and some men of the pulpit are cunning, remember, these people claim the religion but are not the faith, the following, they claim it...but "by thy fruits you know them"

It's up to you to use discernment to know the real from the fake...by the fruits... Jesus said this too...i also think Jesus was not preaching religion, he was preaching righteousness, truth and equity.

The truth is that science made so many assumptions, and atheists have been using these "unproven truths" as the truth because they were published in scientific journals. But as people started going deep, they started unravelling the real truth. And they will actually get to the truth because science is about the truth that cannot be hidden.

In the last days, the Bible says that knowledge shall increase. Now that we are in the era of deep learning, we will definitely arrive at God.

"I Agree With The Teachings Of Jesus" World's Richest Man Elon Musk Says

World's Richest Man and leading scientist and technological innovator, Elon Musk, has continued to proudly and publicly ldentify with Christ and those of the Christian faith.

This time he posted on the X, "I agree with the teachings of Jesus"

I sincerely hope though he means what he says and isn't just saying it for saying sake, but also walking the talk.

However saying it alone openly and unashamedly, in a world that hates, rejects and doesn't want anything to do with the name of Jesus, is a right step in the right direction.

God bless.
This guy also agreed with the teachings of Jesus:

You have no option because its the most eaceful religion where we tell ourselves the blatant and unreserved truth.

We don't carry suicide bombing, we don't do banditry, wd dnt legalised been of a womn, we don't legalised torture, we don't celebrate pae-dophile, we don't behead to score religion mandate, we don't do jihaddism our Lord Jesu came and settle it all.

Arkmanbuddy:
Some people actually believes he was an atheist because to them, wealth = unrighteousness and every wealthy person is automatically unrighteous before God.

Mere following his conversations and news about him shows he's not a woke American, he's not a leftist. He may not be religious, but he believes in the creator God.
He is an atheist. Saying go to church or i believe in the teachings of Jesus doesn't mean he isnt. I feel the same way, and I'm not religious. Honestly, I believe he is saying that because rich and powerful people love a world where majority fall in line and are easy to control.

What are the teachings of Jesus Christ

Let us be Clear
No where did he teach becoming a Christian

He taught
forgive your brother 70X7 times
Do unto others as you would gave them do unto you
Do not judge so you are not judged
Don't be a hypocrite by judging when you are not clean yourself
Humble yourself sit at the back till you are asked to sit in front
Greatness comes from serving others


Crucially these teachings can be found in works of many people who lived before him

Ask AI
Teachings of Jesus are principles that existed around the world before Jesus was born
They do not have to do with. Religion but humanity and intelligence

Ask any ai like Chatgpt.com


Here’s a clear, well‑organized table comparing **10 core teachings of Jesus** with **earlier teachings from other traditions** that expressed similar ideas.
This isn’t about claiming direct borrowing—many cultures independently arrived at similar moral insights—but it’s fascinating to see the parallels.

---

# ✨ Teachings of Jesus and Earlier Parallels

| **Teaching of Jesus** | **Summary of Jesus’ Teaching** | **Earlier Similar Teaching** | **Source / Tradition** |
|------------------------|--------------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------|
| **1. Golden Rule** | “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31) | “Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.” | Confucius, *Analects* (6th–5th c. BCE) |
| **2. Love Your Neighbor** | Central commandment; love others as yourself. | “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge… love your neighbor as yourself.” | Hebrew Bible, Leviticus 19:18 (long before Jesus) |
| **3. Love Your Enemies** | Radical call to love even adversaries. | “Conquer anger by love… conquer the miser with generosity.” | Buddhism, *Dhammapada* (5th–4th c. BCE) |
| **4. Blessed Are the Meek** | The meek will inherit the earth (Beatitudes). | “The gentle shall possess the land.” | Psalm 37:11 (Hebrew Bible) |
| **5. Forgive Others** | Forgive seventy times seven; forgiveness is central. | “Let a man overcome anger by forgiveness.” | Hindu text *Mahabharata* (c. 400 BCE) |
| **6. Care for the Poor** | Give to the poor; blessed are the poor. | “He who gives liberally goes to the gods.” | Vedic teachings (India, pre‑500 BCE) |
| **7. Humility** | “Whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” | “The highest good is like water… it dwells in lowly places.” | Laozi, *Tao Te Ching* (6th c. BCE) |
| **8. Inner Purity Over Ritual** | Purity comes from the heart, not rituals. | “Ritual without sincerity is empty.” | Confucianism (Analects) |
| **9. Seek First the Kingdom / Higher Truth** | Prioritize spiritual truth over material concerns. | “Detach from desire to find the Way.” | Taoism & Buddhism (pre‑500 BCE) |
| **10. The Good Samaritan (Compassion Beyond Tribe)** | Show compassion even to outsiders. | “A noble one is compassionate to all beings.” | Buddhism & Jainism (pre‑500 BCE) |

## A few reflections to deepen the comparison
- Many of Jesus’ teachings **intensify** or **universalize** earlier moral ideas (e.g., loving enemies goes beyond most earlier ethics).
- Jewish scripture already contained much of the ethical foundation Jesus taught—he often reinterpreted or expanded it.
- Eastern traditions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism) developed parallel ideas independently, showing how widespread certain moral intuitions were.

If you’d like, I can also:
- Expand this to **20 teachings**
- Add **direct quotations** from each tradition
- Create a **timeline** showing when each teaching emerged
- Compare **unique** vs. **shared** elements across traditions

Just tell me where you want to take it next.

This is someone many thought was atheist a few years back, including some atheists here who were using his name to brag back then because he was the richest man on earth, until Elon Musk himself came out publicly to say, that he is a cultural Christian and believes in the teachings of Jesus, to their utter astonishment.

Watch video below:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAlfc-6Ked0?si=LDteV8bB_zX1Yhy9

Since then he has continued to take a stand for Christ and the church, such as his repost of late Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk's post on X, urging people to "go to church", and now this one publicly acknowledging the teachings of Christ on his X handle.

So long may it continue. In Jesus name!
Are you serious? Saying you agree with the teachings of Jesus doesn't mean you're not atheist. I'm not saying he's an atheist, I'm just responding to your assertion.

Below is a comparative table showing **ten teachings of Jesus in the Bible** alongside **parallel teachings found in Odu Ifa (Yoruba sacred corpus)**.

The Odu verses are given in Yoruba (as traditionally rendered in oral literature), followed by English translations. The teachings of Jesus are summarized with representative quotes from the Bible.

## Comparative Table: Teachings of Jesus and Odu Ifa

| # | Teaching of Jesus | Bible Quote | Odu Ifa (Yoruba Verse) | English Translation | Related Odu |
| -- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| 1 | **Love your neighbor** | “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” — (Matthew 22:39) | *Eni tí ó bá fẹ́ kí ayé fẹ́ òun, kó fẹ́ ayé.* | Whoever wants the world to love him must love others first. | Ose Otura |
| 2 | **Forgiveness** | “Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.” — (Luke 6:37) | *A kì í fi ọwọ́ òtún ba ọmọ jẹ́, ká fi ọwọ́ òsì fa a mọ́ra.* | You do not punish a child with one hand without drawing him close with the other. | Otura Meji |
| 3 | **Humility** | “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” — (Matthew 5:5) | *Igi tí ó rọ̀ l’ó ń gba afẹ́.* | The tree that bends survives the wind. | Irete Meji |
| 4 | **Reaping what you sow** | “For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — (Galatians 6:7) | *Bí a ṣe gbin ni a ṣe ń kórè.* | As we plant, so shall we harvest. | Oyeku Meji |
| 5 | **Faith in God** | “If ye have faith… nothing shall be impossible unto you.” — (Matthew 17:20) | *Ẹni tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olódùmarè kì í ṣubú.* | One who trusts in the Supreme Being does not fall. | Ogbe Meji |
| 6 | **Do good secretly** | “Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.” — (Matthew 6:3) | *Ìwà rere kì í pariwo.* | Good character does not make noise. | Odi Meji |
| 7 | **Wisdom over wealth** | “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — (Mark 8:36) | *Ọgbọ́n ju agbára lọ.* | Wisdom is greater than power (or riches). | Ofun Meji |
| 8 | **Patience** | “In your patience possess ye your souls.” — (Luke 21:19) | *Sùúrù l’ẹ̀ṣin ìwà.* | Patience is the horse of character. | Obara Meji |
| 9 | **Peacemaking** | “Blessed are the peacemakers.” — (Matthew 5:9) | *Aláfíà l’ọ̀rẹ́ ìdà.* | Peace is the friend of the sword (peace prevents war). | Okanran Meji |
| 10 | **Righteous character** | “By their fruits ye shall know them.” — (Matthew 7:16) | *Ìwà l’ẹ̀wà.* | Character is beauty. | Ogunda Meji |

---

## Observations

* Both the teachings of Jesus and the Odu Ifa corpus emphasize **good character (Ìwà), love, patience, humility, forgiveness, and faith in the Supreme Being**.
* In Ifa theology, the Supreme God is **Olódùmarè**, while Jesus’ teachings refer to **God the Father**.
* The parallels show moral universals shared across cultures rather than direct borrowing.

If you would like, I can also:

* Provide full Bible verse citations in context
* Expand each Odu verse with traditional commentary
* Or explain theological similarities and differences in more depth

What did Jesus teach? He never taught Christianity which was invented by Paul the Apostle. Jesus focussed on and related only with Jews. Of course there are some of his teachings that a reasonable person can agree with but no reasonable person can agree with the core teachings of Christianity invented by Paul. People only agree because they were indoctrinated
