Ok! So you agree that the bible is the word of God.

So! What language do God speak?

Lol, are you confused or something? Please read the introductory post. Who ever claimed the Bible was the word of God is stated there.

Taking Jesus injunction and the practices he established for a religion is a deductive error.

Even for olden times, religions have concrete head and tails for identity. They have religions which are unmistakable.

Other than Jesus, there are hundreds of others who came with one ideology or the other and where never construed as religions.

Granted people will naturally ascribe a name to a movement, this had never been mistaken for religions nonetheless.

If we are to take rituals and training of disciples and offspring for a religion, would you say the Igbos Nwa Boy system is a religion? What about traditional healers?

That said, Christianity became a religion owing to the actions of Emperor Constantine. No more,no less. You could actually get your answer after defining the term itself.

Giving directions on rituals and beliefs is more than enough to establish a religion. Jesus established Christianity by giving detailed ditrections on what to believe, how to behave and what to practice in terms of rituals. That is more than enough.

Constantine can be said to be the one responsible for formalizing it as a state religion and thus transforming it into something that would become powerful and global.

The actions of Jesus while alive and the consequent huge following and repute was enough for him to formalize a religion if he wanted one. Why wait till demise?

Secondly, the huge following while he was alive was enough for it to be mistaken or deliberately made for and a religion respectively. This never occurred.

After his demise, people had a name for the followers and preachers of Christ. No one made a religion of it, not even Paul fundamentally looking at it. More so is that post-Jesus, his followers did not ascribe a religion to what they practiced. They called themselves "brothers".

This proves that after practicing everything Jesus gave, a religion did not naturally or artificially occur.

It occurred by the singular action of Constantine.

Most of your knowledge is hinged on half knowledge and outright ignorance.

When a student focused on studying law how do you expect such a student to educate you on medicine?

The Bible is about how God wants to help obedient humans from one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers not how to make bread and butter nah?

So you need to know what the Author had in mind first before comparing the Bible to subjects that has little or nothing to do with our survival.

For your information people has been living on this planet thousands of years before your AI God and going by history life was sweeter back then, with your AI things haven't been better instead it's getting worse as criminality increases by the day. So what God used the Bible to achieve should be the main focus not just some random human discoveries that hasn't changed how people think!🙂

Exactly my point.

AI today is looking more like it and getting closer to what the Living Word of God should look like and behave.

How? It amazingly encompasses the Bible, Koran, Torah and all religious books.

AI had removed the boundary of ignorance where people are made to believe God only happened to people in Israel and the rest of the world should go to hell.

chieveboy:
Exactly my point.

So God's word focuses on human behavior and how to correct thinking that's harmful not technology!🙂

Nah, he obviously established a religion. Establishing ritual practices is enough. Go and look for the definition of religion in any dictionary. He did so.

But have it your way, I know you will never agree.

Well, if you say so. But I know having an elaborate set of rituals or followership shouldn't translate to a religion. PDP, APC all have such

Religions are focused on spiritual seeking, obviously. Not political.

Ol boy just use a dictionary. You will see the answer.

My conclusion was drawn from the answer you gave.

What is it?

So if it's not the word of God, what is it?

The history of Israel. So if the history of Israel is taken as the word of God? Why are people angry?

There was never a time Israel asked people to adopt their culture and history.

However, the most sophisticated countries of the ancient worlds were suprised to Israel culture and history to be more sophisticated than theirs every single time they conquered Israel.

They adopted it. It became universal. Until Jesus came which introduced the new testament.

Do you know the Romans were ruling Israel during Jesus time?

Cut to the chase. My question "what is it" never told you I said the Bible was the word of God. So what is your point?

Must you JWs create a lie on someone for your truth to hold? This was how your colleague kept saying I said AI was God without a single incidence of that.

Now I see where the mixup is coming from. Using the dictionary meaning and applying it across board generously.

Doing so will see the works of other philosophers and ideologists translate into religions whereas they are not one:

-What is the religion of Guru Maharaji?
-Is Neoplatonism a religion?
- Is 'Pilotry' a religion?
- What of Greta Thumberg?
- What of Football?

Please we all know what we mean by religion in this particular context.

"Religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, and worldviews that connects humanity to the supernatural or transcendental." It typically has specific ritualistic practices of a sacred nature.

But not all religions work with the mystical aspect of your definition.

Dtruthspeaker Nairalands's angel of light deleted your dark post.

I noticed most of your post are always deleted. Is that you cannot do without producing bad fruits as posts?

O ye sant Ann spun, Who does not know the bots are preventing sharp Truths from being posted? Your posts have already proven that you are on your way to the lake fayar. God has already stretched His Hand against you, so its over for you
