Jesus is a roman invention created to deceive and as an insult against the creator of heaven and earth.. God almighty...

Every thing created by God is under his control, the devil is not an exception.. So God is both responsible for good and evil... Jesus that can't even save himself from 3 nails wants to save you from sin, what absurdity..

What God solely desires is a sincere and genuine repentance..

The messiah the jews where waiting for is coming to rule as a king here on earth in a peaceful world.. No more oppression and wars, and death... "Isaiah said.." nation will not rise against nation, men will hammer their sword into ploughshares and learn of war no more " has that happened? No... So it is safe to say that the Messiah has not come..

Stop worshipping idol in the name of light or Christianity.. You can also be blinded by the light.

It wise and safer to be a practicing Christian because you don't own your life , the Almighty God created you without your knowledge or your consent , HE created you in HIS own image. Despite all our sinful nature HE sent HIS only begotten SON JESUS CHRIST to die for us so that we will be save IF we accept HIS sacrifice.
lastly can you predict tomorrow ?
it is very human and wise to worship HE who knows everything and can take your life without your permission.
Will you like to be human and wise ?

OVER HERE IN ICELAND, WE BELIEVE IT IS WISE AND SAFER TO BE A FOLLOWER OF CTHULHU, BECAUSE YOU DON'T OWN YOUR LIFE.

CTHULHU CREATED YOU IN HER IMAGE AND LIKENESS AND WANTS YOU TO ACCEPT HER MURDERED DAUGHTER HULHU, AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, SO THAT WHEN YOU DIE YOU CAN BE IN PARADISE WITH CTHULHU.
SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING AND CAN TAKE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION, YOU'RE ALIVE TODAY BECAUSE OF HER.

A lot of Christians especially those on nairaland feel that anyone who is not a Christian is filthy,disgusting and foolish,they feel that anyone who doesn't believe what they do is headed for eternal torment in hell fire,so fine let me give them the chance to tell me why I should become a Christian

p.s Pls as much as possible make matured and reasonable comments

You don't just need to be a Christian, but you need to be born again. That is the only way to have eternal life.

It is wrong for any Christian to condemn another, but that's not to say that if they see wrong they shouldn't talk about it. It all boils down to how they do it. Some do it out of ignorance, others out of pride, but that's not what Jesus taught us.

What Christians say about heaven and hell is real and very true. The message is given just as God has given to all mankind. You may think it to be fear mongering or threat, but that's the message.

The message is simple and clear, we have all sinned going by God's holy standard, and no one can save us or be saved except God. Now He comes through Christ Jesus, and says, if you will repent, believe and accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior, you will be saved! But if you refuse to repent and be converted, you have invariably said, you're against God, because sin can't live together with Him. Just as you sweep your house and trash the dirt/unwanted stuff, so it will be for all those who reject His word.

In other words it's for your good. Repent and be saved. It's about religion or church membership, but about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ the saviour. Shalom.

why I should not be Christian.

they are hypocrisy

they are judgmental

they don't particle wat they preach

but they are still better than there Muslims counterparts
here in Nigerian but then again wat do I known.

@Op

Don't be a Christian because most of them have tainted the name.

Look at the life of Jesus Christ. He was a man who had no fault. He did everything right and was loved by everyone striving to be good. He forgave those who hated and persecuted him. Even when he had what it took to destroy them, he still prayed and died for their salvation. Because of him, the world is still enjoying some level of peace, and soon. it will be peace everywhere.

Imagine what this world will be like if we all live like that man. That is the man you should live your life like. He is the only way to have eternal life.

A lot of people used to criticize Christianity, cos all they can see is the religious side. Jesus never for once preached anything like religion. All He preached about was the "kingdom" and how to get there. This world is spiritual and you can only live in it peacefully if you are spiritually sound. Real Christianity is about spirituality not just crusades and church activities. Spirituality will give answer to life's questions, but religion brings confusion.

Christianity is also by choice and shouldn't be forced on anyone. Therefore anyone who judged others based on their religious view is a "Christian by religion" not by "spirituality"

The old testament provided all the information one needs to be cleansed and be spiritual.. Except you don't really understand the symbolism and numerology which are really the only way to connect to the spirit, the story of Jesus really spoils every thing and sets one in a wrong direction....
Every thing really is provided for in the old testament.. I don't really see the benefits of the new testament.. I fully understand the old testament and gladly makes all my reference to it...

You are not considered foolish or anything like that if you are not a Christian yet. some Christians on NL or any other places may not have presented the gospel to you or others well enough. However, being a Christian is the only approved way to access the God Father. I have read some religious books by prophets and masters. while they talk about principles and laws and some refer and quoted the Bible to justify their claims they still lack vital issues and offer more questions than solutions, Bible story about creation (mentioning how and names of first man and woman ever created,origin of evil, solution to evil, origin of continents, how languages are come about, how man dispersed from a common parentage, fate of the earth, human beings, origin of spirit beings and their fate, the programme of things in prophecy are clearly documented. Interestingly, the book was written by many people over a period of about 2500 years of God's interaction with man over civilizations and climes and the prophecy is still a force to reckon with. Having been badly criticized, yet stood the text of time providing solutions in every land and culture bringing light too the dark world for instance, the more the tenets are practiced the more peace, prosperity, development and good lease of life. Christianity is the ONLY way from and to God> so, welcome to the family of God.

Thanks for your observation.
But I'll like ask you a question. Who divided the Bible into old and new testament? Is God or the translator. God didn't divided the Bible, we did it ourselves. If you truly understand the old testament, you will know that Jesus manifested himself in it. Same way Apostle Paul have the account of genesis in his epistle to the church in Ephesus. The story of Jesus helped us to under and fulfill the the previous promises and also to provide a better access to those promises.
In conclusion, both old and new goes together. One fulfilled the other.

Noooo, not at all, the old testament has everything we need, it is a spiritual manual on how to live our lives, there is nothing there left to be fulfilled later.. New testament does not fulfil old testament as there is no need.. God does not change his mind. Numbers23:19. The old testament does not have anything to do with the new testament.. The Jews who have the old testament don't have the idea of God mating with human beings.. It is a roman idea.
The new testament is a roman invention. They added it at the end of the Jewish Tanakh to mock God.

This is not an argument, we are just enlightening each other.

Bible is made up of principles and instructions. There are prophecies and promises also. There are so many unanswered questions in the old testament. Please I would like you to reflect of these two areas of the old testament and tell me who the Bible is talking about.
1. Deuteronomy 21:22–23
2. Genesis 3:15 (who was the seed?)

The bible is not a history textbook.. It is a spiritual manual.. The stories are all symbolic and allegorical and metaphorical...
The Adam and eve story is about life and death, as the serpent of the Evil tree was Inanna (the Goddess of death and destruction) in the original babylonian tale it was adapted from.. The enmity was between human and death.. Just teaching the fact that death is man's enemy..
I will tell you what the message in the other passage when I read it.. Don't have a Bible handy

The word "Christians" mean "People who strive to be like Christ".

Christ did not call nonbelievers filthy, disgusting or condemn them to hell. He ate and drank with them, he showed them love and care. He protected a prostitute, He prayed for a robber in his death. He came for Sinners.

This is Whom Christians want to emulate. You can see now and decide for yourself who is being a Christian or not.
