God Vs Religion by 9aijaboi(m): 10:17am On Jul 12, 2015

Sincerely, I believe in God not religion cos one man's religion is another man's fallacy but there is only one God.
However, as a believer, identification is necessary, so advise yourself by yourself.

God is not the problem of the world but religion is. We should just admit we don't knownhow we got here. If there is a God I'm sure he can forgive that.

Islamic Terrorist is one of the major problem sad

Re: God Vs Religion by 9aijaboi(m): 10:27am On Jul 12, 2015

The big question is
Do they practice what they preach?

Re: God Vs Religion by 9aijaboi(m): 10:28am On Jul 12, 2015

Another question is
Do they preach the right thing?

Re: God Vs Religion by Nobody: 10:47am On Jul 12, 2015

The church of God is a mess!! Some knw the word bt they dnt praticalize it. While odas dnt even knw the word, they therefore preach rubbish.

How do you know there is this one god since you don't want to worship those gods under the umbrella of any religion.

If the other gods were so powerful then they should have allowed their worshippers to dominate the world. So far Christianity is the only religion that conquered the world despite all odds so their God must be a powerful one.

[b]Hhmmm 5minsmadness i must say i expected better and this comment from you fell far below expectations, First Christianity was propagated in Europe because of the roman empire and crusades, it reached africa through the missionaries.

Islam was propagated through many of Muhammed conquest, Jihad and some Islamic scholars as in the case of most African society as a result of Mali empire adopting islam.

Following your analogy we can the conclude that since islam is the most widely practised religion in African with 47%, muslims can then conclude Allah is greater than christian god.

Since researches have shown there will be a relative decline in Christianity and a boost in islam (mostly due to polygamy tho) Muslims can then conclude Allah has toppled the christian god in power and potency since they now possess the upper hand in populations.

You also forgot many ancient religions have once being widely practised all over the globe but now has slipped down the timeline of history as myth and many still linger but in a small scale. . .we could then postulate those ancient god concepts were the powerful and reigning ones then.

I expected you to know propagation of religion has nothing to do with the potency of any deity but alas i was wrong apparently [/b]

That mean you are a christain. you love your religion too well and still claims to detest it.

Check your previous post.

You sound agnostic here but later confirmed that you are a fundamentalist Christ..

If you are still having confusions on these so called religion and god, i recommend some books like "the gods delusion", god is not great, how religion poisoned everything ". If you have access to unlimited data, you can hit youtube and listen to some interesting debates.

Not has, had.
And yes, despite all odds Christianity conquered the world just before Islam came. And all other gods bowed before the Most High!

As for religion. I agree it has become messed up. But the message is what is more important, not the messenger/messengers.

Re: God Vs Religion by 9aijaboi(m): 12:57pm On Jul 12, 2015

I still believe that there is only one God but different religion.
Christians call him God
Muslims call him Allah
Igbos call him Chineke
Yorubas call him Oluwa
Benin call him Osanobua
Hindus,Buddhist and other religions call him different names but He is one God.

Correction, Christians Call him Yahweh/Jehovah. . .God is a noun that can be used to depict these deities in a general way, it is not a name of any deity.

Even Allah is the arabic word for god, arabic christians still use the word (allah) to refer to yahweh

Uuuhm is there any law that forbids him from using the alphabets the way he wants? Whether he use G, g or even double capita G's. it still doesn't change anything. . It would have been better you tackled his post and not disturb over why he spells dog is (d) and not (D) or spells god with (g) and not (G)

When exactly did this happen? Was there a competition? Was there a "most high" coronation ceremony? What was the criteria used to judge god as the "most high"(and don't tell me they smoked weed)? What other "gods" were in attendance?

You know na, the nitty griity

You can check the Christian bible, God is called God in the bible as Allah in the Quran.
However different Christians like Jehovahs witness call him Jehovah not God but that does not make the former or later wrong.
Besides, You don't use small letter g for God except when you refer to small deities.

*sigh* and you guys are the biggest advocates of human rights, freedom and respect. Why don't you use a word the way a man has used it...? you don't think you are offending him and putting a halt to the argument?

you are afraid to use a 'G' the way it is used? and some think you are "free" thinkers *sigh*

Either God/god as long as it depicts the deity in question that is all that matters. . . Your emotional attachment to depicting your own deity with capital G doesn't apply to me...

Talk about rights/freedoms/respect. . You have the right to use a word how you like and i have the right to use it how i like, telling me how to use words, don't you see you have encroached into right and freedom.

Moreover i use the capital G (God) to portray any deity when i deem fit. I refer to both allah, yahweh, el, Mithras and any other deity i want as God when i want to..the word God/god is just a noun. . .we do not fear ideas

And heck you are right, that FREE thinking shows that we are bound by no obligation to refer to any deity the way you want us to too..

We as believers know that our GOD is the only GOD that is. All others are paps and the works of men.

The question now is are you a Christian or are these posts born out of your moniker?

You can only use capital letter to begin a word when it is a noun. The word "god" refers to an entity that is non existent, it only exists in your imagination.

Therefore there's no need spelling the word out with a capital letter "G"

You are right with your question because God is used with capital letter G
Small letter g in god refers to smaller deities generally called gods.

Lol...really? am sure you don't even have any idea how the word GOD came into use, am sure you never knew it was the old Scandinavian word for the deity Odin. .(learn history101) next time you can use the particular name of your deity not argue over a general name for every other deity..
