You been Ddeceived bro!

That's why the Ddoctrine of once Ssaved forever Ssaved is false!

Until you consciously surrender to JESUS. You are not saved.

If in the Ccourse of your walk with GOD, you fall, you need to ask for Fforgiveness..

Don't live with that thought that you can't stop sin! It's a devilish principle from the pit of Hell!

You confuse yourself more and more!

What Mmakes you a Cchristian ?

You think being born by a pastor makes u a Cchristian?

Or being born by born-again parents makes u a Cchristian?

That's false!

You are not a Cchristian until you confess your sins and Aaccept JESUS. That is what makes you a Cchristian.

Stop Cconfusing yourself

Doing good and all that is wonderful ! Infact you are naturally blessed on that !

But to Mmake Eeternal Llife, you Hhave to Aaccept JESUS CHRIST.

You need to acknowledge you are a Ssinner and confess your sins to JESUS Christ

Then you Aask JESUS to Ccome into your life..

If you mean it and you make that prayer, Aautomatically you are a Cchild of GOD.your Nname is Wwritten in the Book of lLife.

You need to ensure that you don't get involved with worldliness, Wwickedness, sin of any kind!

You have the Holy Bible (kKings James Version) to guide you.

Also do not fail to ask GOD for forgiveness if you fall into sin.

That's the error you make bro!

Christianity is not a Rreligion! It's a Rrelationship with JESUS CHRIST.

The Ddisciples were called Cchristian first in Antioch because they saw the life of JESUS CHRIST them. They took notice, that this men had been with JESUS.

1John 3:8-9

A Cchristian is not a Ssinner
A Ssinner is Nnot Aa Cchristian.

It's Mman that calls it Rreligion!

You be unfair and wicked to conclude that!

So many have lost their Faith! So many have never opened their bibles in all these months!

The Church is Highly and very Important!

for me, opened my Bible when I wish to. Anyway, it base on the subject matter. If religion has really reduce the development of this nation, we should do a rethink. Mosques & churchs should be reduced and let increase infrastructure. Churches and mosques should channel their light to infrastructures

You expressed my mind!!

pmoye:
Just wait for the herd from the deluded lands to come for you. Awon omo Daddy GOs won't like this post at all.

I have come to the conclusion that there's no way you'll be highly intelligent and at the same time be comfortable in any religion. This is simply because intelligence drives you to ask questions and you will never be satisfied with anyone asking you to use faith to bridge the gap of ignorance or to use faith to imagine the ignorance doesn't exist.

Religion is the tool of losers, those who have accepted the horrible fate forced upon them by their collective irresponsibility and fear. In fact, I believe the concept of heaven and paradise was either a mental contraption developed to make sense of man's suffering in his present state on earth, or a senseless imagination of someone on drugs.

Religion appears to be a lazy mind's tool to make sense of things loftier than himself. More like a tale told to a child to explain inconvenient phenomena. Like when a child asks you, "Mummy where do babies come from". Then the mother goes, "Santa Claus brings them".

Religion is the "Santa Claus brings them" which only serves the purpose of quietening the child for the time being, but is both illogical and useless.

Now you have just begun to truly live. Congratulations...
Luckily you have successfully emancipated yourself from mental slavery like I did something years back. Hope you don't get threatened with hell fire Bullsh!ts and fall back to that trap. That's the weapon they use to trap their victims from escaping.

Truth is, religion is not for everyone. Religion might actually be okay for some who requires it to put them in check. But for some of us, it just cannot accommodate our logical mind. The energy is too powerful to be incubated by indoctrinations and belief systems!

Preach it man!

I do agree with you on this. Religion is our bane.

Modified: Please I'm not an atheist and I have no intention of becoming one. I believe in God almighty and I strive to build a conscious and deliberate relationship with Him through his word.

Some of you just talk without reasoning.
Where does religion endorse any action not to work ?

The op is simply confused.
Religion does not tell any one not to work it is we Africans that are using religion for moneymaking venture.

Jesus went to the mountaintop to pray. God spoke to him and he transfered his words to us. he taught us to carry our cross not his cross. he showed us the way.
he never asked us to make an institution/ religion out of him. only spread his teaching.
He never advocated any church/ temple/ synagogue but true worshippers worship in spirit and truth.

converting Jesus teaching to a religion and building a church out of it is the problem.

Read Jesus teaching well, all his teaching including gospel if Mary Magdalene and Thomas and not just what those Catholics presented to you as bible
It’s quiet shameful that many people worship and dignify the image of a white man( Jesus Christ) brought to us by the same people who exploit us everyday(slavery) and claim he is God. U talk about ruthlessness in the Old Testament and they run to the New Testament as if it,s a different God. Logic and reasoning is imbued and always applied in our everyday life except when it comes to religion we are asked to just believe and not ask questions. Some claim to believe Jesus because they experienced him(visions, dreams) forgetting that these stories have already been handed down to them from when they were kids(when their sense of judgement and boundaries have not been set) indoctrination at its peak.some people have scammed others using the name of Jesus even tho at the mention of his name every knee should have bowed including the scammer. The Bible in the Old Testament and new both supported slavery even human sacrifice but yet people always make up reasons why God did so. Wars and killings have been done in the name of Jesus, Allah nd other Deities more than it has been done in the name of satan. Ancestral curse has never followed Germany or Belgium who murdered millions of people but it has always been our problem. None of Paul,s letter were addressed to any Black continent including egypt nd even Ethiopia which were mentioned in the Bible but yet we read letters addressed to others and claim it’s for us. Mohammed married a six years old girl and had intercourse with her at nine yet people see him as a role model, why would a supreme being just sit and watch us kill ourselves in the name of finding him. Our problems are ours to solve because if religion has ever been the answer then Nigeria would be among the top countries in the world. We all need to look inward and control our beliefs not the other way round. This is not an attack on any particular religion. Am jst saying the whole concept of religion is false. Existence of a supreme being is highly probable nd logical but none of these religions know anything about him/her/it. Read carefully before u start pointing fingers.

With my personal Experience, Observation and inner conviction, I think I dont want to be part of any religion again. This thing is truely an opium of illusion meant for people who cant take their destiny in their hands and for a sheeple masses.

Despite withdrawing from religion I found myself even having a better moral compass which I cant explain. We are throwing away common sense, hardwork and universal principles to leave in illusion. At the end of my observation I have come to the conclusion that its what you do for yourself that counts more.

When I see poor people dying of hungry in a country which have the capacity to be the global industrial hub I know we have throw away common sense, Nigeria biggest investment to South Africa is Religious buildings (Church) while here in Nigeria the South Africans brought us MTN, DSTV, SHOP RITE e.t.c which employs thousands of people and gives profit to our Investors inventing in the stocks and shares of those companies I realise religion is lack of common sense.

No amount of religion can make you succesful without application of common sense.
No amount of religion can make your marriage succesful without application of common sense and consideration for your partner.
No amount of religion can a nation grow and prosper without application of common sense, productivity and good policies.

At the end of it I think am leaving religion, its not worth it. Even uprightness and moral comes from a person inner conviction and not because of religion.


U can leave religion bt don’t leave God and the Bible. I am not religious bt I am spiritually free. I don’t believe God is in a church or we must gather and one man leads everybody and calls it his church. I don’t believe in any pastor or preacher, I believe in Gods word. And yes the Bible teaches COMMON SENSE unless u didn’t read it right or completely.

The Bible teaches common sense with sm extra bag of chips and sauce. Many pastors preach selfish messages not the scriptures. I have noticed/known this since I was in secondary school. What is worse is when people support wrong mean of God and wrong teachings.

The Bible says correct each other bt many Christains have been brainwashed.

Yes, I also believe in the existence of a supreme being and probably other supreme beings, but most of these religions are complicated and illogical in trying to explain what they don't know.
It's best to say that God may exist, but we know little to nothing about God yet.
In my opinion, the best knowledge of God comes from observation of the universe, as well as self meditation than the many doctrines stipulated by confused religious people over time.

The kind of religion I see in Nigeria is bullshit...

All this essay you dey write does not change that fact.

I love this essay cos in every of your comments you either contradicts urself or raises a new topic.
With this essay I have bn trying to;
1. Correct ur impression about religion
2. Teach you how to use word technically and be careful at every word u put in ur sentence.

After writing as you, then read it again as someone else. With this you will make a good user of words.

Back to our topic. Check the bold sentence in ur comment.
Going by that, you drew you conclusion of religion bn bullshit from the premise, Nigeria.
The size of you premise is too small to draw such a huge conclusion.
So I would have prefer u saying that Nigeria religion is bullshit. It may be fallacious, but the error can be pardonable.

This brought us back to my previous stand that religion is not bullshit.
You can only see it so if;
1.Religious ppl u knw are practicing wrong religion
2.The thing u called religion was created by evil ppl in the name of religion
3.You don't understand what religion is all about
and so on.
Thanks.

sorry for replying late, uhm!!! for u to know if God is calling u, u must have a relationship with God, But even if you've not had one he can still call u like he did Paul, God speaks through people, he speaks through dreams, he could also just drop that impression on ur mind...but you wouldn't know it's God if you've not had a relationship with him.....just have create a relationship with Him and ask him what is his plans for ur life.....He'll definitely tell u........Thanks hope I've been able to help

Bros first of all Jesus was Jewish and not white, and if everybody were to base their reception of Jesus on race then Koreans,espaniacs will not have a lot of Christains among them becos Jesus was not from any of dose race, even Caucasians too because we know jews range from Arabs to whites, who is to say Jesus was not arab..and by d way we worship Jesus becos of his divinity dat he was is d son of God and he only expressed himself as a Jew because at dat time they were d closest nation to God ...talking about Paul,s letters it was only addressed to the places where churches were found at that time, and considering d fact it was less than a century after Jesus death dere were only a limited amount of places d apostles could have taken d gospel to at dat time if not there would also have been letters to espaniacs and Koreans ..so it's unfair to try and twist dat and use it as a yardstick to say christainity is discrimative ...talking about old testament laws Jesus made it clear to his apostles dat moses gave dose law to dem(jews) based on d wickedness of their hearts,..and it's unfair to judge a religion by laws which it does not use or apply, dose laws were meant for d Jews...if u believe no religion knows anything about God dat,s for u , please allow pepo believe wat dey want to believe...and bros dere was nowhere law in Bible dat called for human sacrifice ...nd d fact dat some fanatics fought and killed all in d name of religion does not make d religion in itself invalid becos people fight for a lot of things some kill for for love ,some for thier countries,or even money does dat make these things useless.
