You don't know me Mr and don't spill your ignorance here. I live, work and undergoing phd studies in one of the best school in Europe. I don't want to start comparing my achievement with yours because there is none in the first place but I can assure you I hold my faith in God very high than your so called grind. I am a living testimony of God's blessing through Christ. Muslims abound here doing very well but you can see that dedication they have to their own faith despite their successes. Is only misguided Christians who were brought up in the biblical that will come here and all of a sudden forget what they believe in. A faithless soul is a hopeless one.
Romans 12:3 states:
"For through the undeserved kindness given to me, I tell everyone there among you not to think more of himself than it is necessary to think,but to think so as to have a sound mind.....".

So the numerous excellent Asian and European students who are irreligious are not also PhD students right? So they are hopeless according to you? According to you, "you are in one of the best schools in Europe so there is no basis of comparison with you". I don hear, there is no need for me to brag. However, I stand by my word.
and in the midst of all this people there are still people who hold their faith strong must everybody be like you. When you don't have anything to hold on to how do you have hope, do you know the meaning of hope. Let me tell you without the belief in the existence of a supreme being many would have committed suicide. In the midst of despair when you know there is someone out there who cares for you, you will have a reason to live. Come and see how Europeans are seeking for happiness, if it is not piercing, is drinking, sex, lesbian ism, bestiality oh yes some sleep with animals and what not. Please I have made my point, keep your opinion to yourself. Thank you.

Me am not worried about this whole religion thing oo, i just have one question no one has be able to answer me correctly. Ps im a Christian. The question is "outside Christianity will every other religion go to hell?? Should i feel lucky being born a Christian?. Because the way i was brought up they told me all Muslims would go to hell, so i always felt lucky i was a Christian. That's to say if i was a Muslim ill go to hell. So if u are not a Christian you cant make heaven

even Muslims would make heaven before many Christians. Muslims know there was Jesus but the only issue is that they don't believe He is the only way to God. And is just a matter of time they would find out the truth like some have already started. If Christianity was by compulsion do you think we would have atheists in our midst? Is because there are no consequences for atheism as in Islam that's why some have found their voice bashing Christianity. I don't blame them. Jesus said search the truth and it would set you free.

Kudos to the lady!.

Religion stops you from making use of the brain to the fullest. What I've realized is that anybody capable of making use of the brain would eventually realize religion is the dumbest thing someone can involve themselves in.

Nice write up there, but my point is, take for instance you were born in a remote village in India where they worship elephants with little or no connection to the outside world, you grow up not knowing any other religion only ur hindu. If that person dies is he going to heaven or hell. (Asking for a friend) wink

That woman is one of the best Christians. The people that brought Christianity to Africa do not spend the amount of time Africans stay in churches. If you think they got it wrong, why are their societies progressing while the overtly religious Africans remains in squalor.
It is self-deception at best.

Christianity is not measured by going to Church or how much you go to Church but how much you impacted the society/humanity positively through Love, care, giving which is the greatest Commandment.
The Church of God is not the massive structure we spend billions to build but you are the Church,

By the time that woman's village people remembers her, she would be sleeping in the church for months.. Mountain of fire precisely.

When Enemies remember you ,you can be working very hard but with nothing to show. then you would know you need God.

Nah, the Christian god is rubbish
You're not being an atheist now instead you are being stubborn. Thank you, you said the CHRISTIAN GOD. Of cause There are many gods on earth but it's our responsibility to serve our master the true God among other gods. That's why dey sing "Master of the universe, you are the head over Principalities. You don't wanna find if God actually exists or you totally do not want to see him that is if he actually exists an atheist is one i know that will struggle to know the truth. I oblige and implore you embark on a mission to find if God really exist. you can email me if you have an answer or something urgent.

Why do u think ppl are dying to pay their tithes? because the pastor has assured them of divine investment. That why they wld remain dogged in paying their tithes, even tho they know that Hebrews 7:5-12 has abolished paying of tithe.
5 True, according to the Law, those of the sons of Leʹvi who receive their priestly office have a commandment to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though these are descendants of Abraham. 6 But this man who did not trace his genealogy from them took tithes from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. 7 Now it is undeniable that the lesser one is blessed by the greater. 8 And in the one case, it is men who are dying who receive tithes, but in the other case, it is someone of whom witness is given that he lives. 9 [/b]And it could be said that even Leʹvi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham, [b]10 for he was still a future descendant of his forefather when Mel·chizʹe·dek met him.
11 If, then, perfection was attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for it was a feature of the Law that was given to the people), what further need would there be for another priest to arise who is said to be in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek and not in the manner of Aaron? 12 For since the priesthood is being changed, it becomes necessary to change the Law as well.
please can you be explicit with verse 12?

We are mostly practicing religion here.

If Nigeria becomes developed and there is less hunger in the land, you will see that most people will stop going to church.


That is when you will know those who really love God for who He is and not for what they can get from Him.

But honestly we have too many church programs in this country sha...from Monday to Sunday...one program or the other...haba!

Moderation is necessary so that church activities don't take the place of real personal intimacy with God himself.
Churches keep members busy all week long so that they don't even have time to study the Bible by themselves hence they depend on their pastors to teach them the Bible and they believe whatever the pastor says without checking to see if it's correct.
That is how Christian 'zombies' are made.

Shebi na oyibo give you this religion wey you carry for head so? When you travel, you will understand that only hardwork and dedication brings prosperity and not the number of times you kiss your pastor's feet in a week.... You will grind hard for that bill, that's the only rehabilitation you will need to purge you off the excessive overdose of the craps you have been fed over the years by many phoney pastors.
The dude above u reminds of the Nigeria female pastor dat always ask for $1000 seed of faith in overseas.......... Christian zombies are real open ur eyes and u will see them

Honestly, the way nigerian chris tians do their christianity is very strange to me. In a place i once worked at, i know a young lady that forces herself to wake up at 4 in the morning to go to the next door church for some kind of prayers,comes back home by 6am and rushfully prepares for work. The closing time from work is 4pm, but once its 3, she pesters the oga that she wan go "sosh". The lady eye is always red from lack of sleep, in my mind am like lady, u are overdoing this church thing, its interfering with your work etc i wonder whether they dont see how oyibo do their things. Our over do religious activities are hampering our productivity and frankly making us more dull minded. Everybody wan preach inside bus or market, set up their own new church, an educated able bodied man believing he is recieving blessings and miracles via a tv screen showing adeboye or so praying, are u serious? Are people not literarily going mad because of over religiousity?

The whole of that passage is trying to tell you that those things they did in the past are not valid anymore.
If God felt the need to bring Jesus, the high priest into the World, it's to correct some things that were not right. If those rules where perfect there would be no need for Jesus to come.

So Jesus the ultimate High Priest has come to give us the perfect rule.
Further down the passage, it says, Those animals that were sacrificed as offerings, No need for that anymore cause Jesus is the perfect offering. He has done it once for us all, so we are no longer indebted to God.

Also Note that only the Levite's were instructed by God then to collect tithes. And only the tribe of Israel were instructed to pay tithes. Other tribes like Judah did not pay tithes.

Also Note that not once did Jesus and his disciples collect tithes or asked us to tithe. When Jesus taught us about giving( the widows mite), he encouraged us to give with our whole hearts, not necessarily a percentage or amount.

that's why I said search for the truth and you will find it. One thing I know is that there is only one way to God. Jesus said He is the way, Muhammed said the same thing, Buddha did, Amadioha the same thing so your choice.
