Any Culture or tradition, that does not glorify God is already satanic and immoral. As Christians, true children of God, we are to separate ourselves from such practices - 2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, You cannot call yourself a Christian and you do Masquerade, you do Ifa, you do New yam festival, You do Amadioha , You do Ogun, you do Ojude Oba, You do Raping culture festivals... You may not attend but you sponsor and support with you money... As a child of God, A Christian, going to church with Bible, you must choose one, whether you follow God or follow the traditions of men inspired by the devil and His agents. See what Apostle Paul wrote about his own- Galatians 1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, God had to separate him from all those traditions. Remember the day you accepted Jesus, is the Day you decide to follow Him and do the will of God. May the Lord help us And if you are still blinded by traditions and Cultures, Remember none of them can connect you to God. Jesus has paid the final price. Anything outside Jesus Christ leads you to damnation. May the Lord bless and save us. Amen 14 Likes |

Mattswaggz:Only through The God of heaven and the Earth. The creator of the universe, can we have the will and power to focus on all these things you mentioned. Man can do nothing without God. His thoughts are continually evil. And so it needs to be cleansed and separated from Pagan practices and traditions, etc, to achieve all those 6 Likes 2 Shares |

obonujoker:Stop attaching God to religion which is a"creation and workings of men".....God didn't create any religion and yes men needs divine help to achieve all this sometimes that's why my reply clearly stated "religion" as the tool used to cast division amongst us......that division was used to start and justify different wars and weekedness. 21 Likes |

Mattswaggz:I'm not preaching Religion to you bro. God has no religion. Yes we need Hid divine help. All through as you rightly stated. However you can only get this divine help by following after the principles of God, and to be able to do this, the divine help one needs is only found through Jesus Christ. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. I preach Jesus Christ. Not religion. 3 Likes |

obonujoker:My honest opinion I believe Africa needs to go back to their root . Africa will be a better place ..... Same Christ story is found in if not every or many religions and ancient texts contain stories of a savior, divine messenger, or sacrificial figure, which some people see as similar themes... Jesus Christ is unique to Christianity. So to others. Remember God created all things. Everything leads to self awareness.. And you must keep the laws be which ever .. Balls down to commitment.. .. 7 Likes 1 Share |

xtianchris:Even though we have other saviours in every other religions, I can unequivocally and unapologetically say that the Christian saviour which is Jesus Christ is the most reliable and consistent. I don't push it on people, I preach it and act it and whatever rocks your boat you can go with the flow. Seeing the light and being the light is not same thing, hearing something that looks like the truth is not the same thing as living with the truth, worshipping your god doesn't always mean you are emancipated it's just that you have been connived to believing a lie in the utmost perception. I have seen men with diabolical powers confessing to a higher power or some kind of supreme powers above there's. I have seen even people say that they went to get money in a hasty way (if you know what i mean) and was told to hold on to the living God and whatever church they attend because whatever they do in secret will not work. Enlightenment is never entagled with ignorance. |

xtianchris:Believing in Jesus Christ is bigger and better than any thing the world has to offer. God the creator has given Man only one root to connect back to him, and it's not ancestors or tradition or culture or self awareness or any rubbish .. the root is the *Root and Offspring of David* which the Christ Jesus Only Jesus is the way. No other way 2 Likes |

Mattswaggz:Without having Jesus Christ in you, you are wasting your time. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God- Romans 3:23. Sin cannot make Man communicate directly to God. The only way for God to live in your Heart and connevt with you, is for us to accept his free gift of Salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ. Anything outside this is a waste of time .... All those Buddhist and yoga doctrine of inspiration, are all against what God wants. Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 3 Likes |

Christianity is built on pagan practices..human sacrifice, logos, necromancy, etc. The only thing God gave to the nations is laws to keep. He gave the omenala/odinala to us,......keeping it is what makes us righteous. 6 Likes |

obonujoker:Exactly my point, Jesus is an idol. Gods commandments is clear. "Do not make the image or LIKENESS of anything in heaven or on earth or under the waters below the earth, do not bow down to them or serve them".... The Romans created a God in the image and likeness of a man, something found on earth for you to worship and you actually believe them..... Continue 2 Likes |

sonmvayina:Jesus is God. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. |

obonujoker:You are quoting Christian Bible for me.....show me where God said through any prophet that he will come as a man to be sacrificed for the sins of the world. God in Amos 3:7 that he does nothing without revealing it to his servant the prophet...NO WHERE. Then all of a sudden, the Romans invented one and you are buying it with no questions asked. I did, and I discovered God never ordered it. |

obonujoker:Same God created all things. He created good and evil according to the Bible. You remember the story of job ? Where God gave devil the permission to do whatever he likes with Job ? What about in the case of Ahab and that situation of the spirit of lies that came from God to enter the prophet. God knows all things right? He created all things both good and evil. |
