Logicboy03: White man didnt start atheism. Atheism is universal. Even Japanese and chinese had documented cases of atheism long before European civilizations

See how ignorant you are?

Lol! Did u hear of it from d japanes? Follow kmcutez to go and suck a toad jor!

kmcutez: I'm waiting for you to be educated and yes there is a need for that education now. Just imagine how r.etarded your posts looks like. When we say religion does us a disservice, you will begin to argue blindly.

Ladies and gentlemen of nairaland, here is an example of the product called christianity, and the scary thing is that we have billions like them.

Pack my load go back to which village, when people like you exists. God punish Satan.

And what is wrong with using leaves to cover your privies. Are you laughing at the primitiveness of your God that used leaves to cover the unclothedness of Eve and Adam or are you laughing at your stupidity?

dont educate me dear, it's my choice to be a christian. I'm laughing at d way u contradict urself dear, u complain of d white man and all that bull but most of ur life centres on what this same white man invented even the atheism u profess , HYPOCRITE! U adding insults only shows ur frustration, go suck a toad! Btw U deserve first class honours in idiocy *clicks unfollow*

musKeeto: And if there was no christ, there wouldn't be christianity. If there was no mohammed, there wouldn't be islam and so on and so forth...

Was your mind blank at birth? Yes or No...

lol, we are saying the same thing, difference is that I acknowledge that the white man brought christianity but i do not hate him for it, but you are claiming that we are slaves for being christians where as the same white man started the atheism u profess. In essence according to u we are both slaves

Reference: I wish to ask this question. Is what we are seeing in/of the church today a reflection of God succeeding or God failing.

it only shows the devil's ploy, the gate of hell shall never prevail against the church of christ

[quote author=omo_to_dun]This thread exemplifies the chief problem with religion: interpretation. Although I agree with the issues raised by the thread creator, his points are nothing more than his perspective, his opinion, and his interpretation. Since no one is an authority on the meaning of the scriptures, everyone is free to claim as true their interpretation of the Bible. And this is why there are sundry denominations in so many religions, especially in Christianity. Those who preach prosperity have ample evidence in the Bible to back up their perspective; those who preach about other tenets also have evidence in the Bible to back up their claims. Too much confusion.[/quote]you are right but the catholic church still preaches the truth, diff opinions strtd with martin luther

4llerbuntu: like i have asked previously with no response on NL

pls what is the biblical timing for christisn fasting? between what n what hour?

what constitutes fasting? precise definitions pls.

i ask because i understand the muslim version. they have a basis for it. its sunrise to sundown. total break from ingesting anything and other stuff.


the xtian one is a lil confusing its between when and when? whats d basis of 6pm. are u allowed water? etc etc. i googled, found a few that said u could take water n even fruits

fasting could be anyway as long as u deprive urself of a luxury, there isnt a specific way of doing it because christians place more emphasis on the heart and soul than the body, if i am an abusive person I'd rather fast from insulting people than fast from sunrise to sunset because the latter places more emphasis on the body while the former places emphasis on the heart which is more important

packaging: Hello house, can anyone pls tell me practical examples of sins that can be committed against the holy spirit that does not merit forgiveness?

E.g despair: it is termed unforgivable because of d nature of d sin and not d holyspirit because when people despair, they think there is no hope and this leads to them not asking for forgiveness of their sins, and as u know a sin cannot be forgiven if d sinner isnt contrite and asks for forgiveness, therefore it is unforgiveable because the sinner thinks it is unforgiveable

musKeeto: Lol.. And this is in answer to what exactly?

Were you born with 'the knowledge of Christ'? Is anyone born with the knowledge to cook egusi? Do we eat and cook because the whites 'first' ate and cooked? Smh...


You're Igbo. Are you aware we had a four day week, 7 weeks per month and 13 month calendar which was roughly 364 days a year. The calendar we use today has 365 days. Was ours influenced by the white man?

mister if there was nothing like atheism, u would NOT be an atheist.................and u know

kmcutez: My friend, stop displaying such childishness and stupidity and argue like an adult.

Lol! Sorry o, na una dey take am serious naw, u are more like us than u know

kmcutez: What is wrong with going back to the village to farm. Are you telling me there is something wrong with those doing it?

We all survived without internet before its advent , and a large population are without internet and they are still living well.

The only compulsory use of the internet for me is just to correct and educate retards like you, if not I can as well do without it..

oya what are u waiting for now? U dont need to educate me now, just pack ur load.......................scratch dat, wear leaves and use calabash to cover ur chest and start trekking to ur village, be like ur forefathers when u do that I'd believe u

omiobo: i understand it's 4odays and 4o nights. mine wil start from 8pm and ends 8am everyday.

Lol! U want to sly God abi

otokx: John 17:17, the bible is the word of God and is the foundation and in deed the building blocks of christianity not any church.

John 17:17 'sanctify us through thy truth, thy word is truth'. This verse does not negate my statement, infact that same word says in timothy that d church is the pillar and foundation of truth. Saying only the bible is the building block of christianity contradicts the bible itself

musKeeto: Um, atheism isn't a religion.. Everyone is born with a blank mind.. We all start off as atheists...

yeah ryt, big lie, if atheism didnt start from them I'm so sure u wouldnt be an atheist

kmcutez: And who told you we needed civilization from the white man. Mayhaps we would have developed at our own pace, just as the white man did, without inteference from them.

Logicboy, how you see the picture of me running around naked while you dey follow behind naked with a flock of sheep.

Arrghh Bella, na so you hate me and logicboy. See as you take describe a whole 2 intelligent adult.

lmao! Which foolish pace? Abegi pace ko space ni

Logicboy03: Bella, you foolish, no be small.

You and parairie are slaves

you are the slave, what are u doing in the uk sef, come bak to ur village and farm. Funny thing is that atheism started from d same white people, going by that mister, we are def in the same shoes

kmcutez: Is that so? So we never had food, shelter, clothing, our own religion before they came. SMH.

No wonder you worship a white Jesus.

if na so, kukuma go bak to ur village and farm like u never knew of colonialism before, abi is it not the same white man that invented the same internet ur using, hypocritical atheists,

Shollypopz: I know I hv no business on this thread, I was about to un-follow the darn thread until u quoted me. Now, I plan to torment you religious folks and derail the hell out of it. Apologize!

wow it's been long, we are ever ready for u shawty

binger: Well,am not catholic,so we don't do penance.
Btw,how does saying copious 'Our father' ,'hail Mary' etc,cleanse ur sin or grant u forgiveness?

God cleanses our sins, saying penance is just an act of contrition and sorrow for our sins

timothy 3:15, 'the church is the pillar and foundation of truth'. Forever catholic

bukatyne: @Prairie: he is 100% correct. We practice a form of religion that has no life. That's why a born again would still have problems in the midst of 'Christians'.

we have true christians, people think pentecostals are the only christians cos they make mouth a lot

clue: the op's message is very valid, and yes, Jesus was a carpenter. He lived modestly, even paul and the early christians.
To evangelize, propagate the gospel, like paul wrote to fellow brethren in other countries takes a lot of money these days. Do you know what it costs to air a single message, print materials, feed the poor? Please dont get me wrong, im totally aganist this materialism that has prevaded the church, but the propagation of the gospel and even helping the lost with the message of hope in a world ruled by unbelievers is not easy without money.

ofcourse i know, did u see d post i quoted? She was tryin to famz christianity with them obama, i had to cut her short

disloman: dats what i'm talking abt.wit dat,some souls might av bn saved.don't judge wit d strategies d church used.luk at what they achieved at d end.

in christianity, the end doesnt justify the means, both the means and the end MUST be justified

binger: Very true...just like the Bible said it.
I asked because it was asserted by a friend,who happens to be Catholic, that once u sin in this period,no mercy.

I have another question...When you are forgiven for committing a particular sin,do u go without being punished?

we call it penance, d priest may ask u to say a couple of our fathers or hail marys or glory bes

binger: Thank u my sister,this is enlightening.
However,if i stop being conscious of sin,wouldn't that make me treat sin with levity?

what she meant was for us to be wary of sin and soon enough we would'nt have a problem saying no to temptation

Man! It isnt easy for me to fast o, but since I'm in school most times i try not to think of food, and I dont pray as much as I'd want to, God help me. We can also use this period to rejuvenate our faith life, be good to people and always think of what Jesus would want you to do before u take actions and let these actions spill into your life even after lent, that's d main purpose of lent. Dont forget confessions too!

elevated2012: Religion is not helping us, it is just a pedestal for more problems in this country.Think about it.

I've thought about it, christianity isnt a problem poser, just the bad eggs in the basket make it seem so, we still have true christians

visionbiafra: Point of correction, Christians are the richest people in the world: Carlos Slim Helu, Bill Gates, Roman Abramovich, Bernard Arnault to name, but a few. The most powerful people in the world are also Christians: Barack Obama, the Pope, Queen Elizabeth, Dilma Russef, David Cameron, Hillary Clinton to name, but a few.

that isnt the point! Jesus was a carpenter!

Lord let me be an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon, where there is doubt, faith, where there is despair, hope, where there is darkness, light, where there is sadness, joy. O! Divine master, grant that i may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen (prayer of st francis of assisi)

elevated2012: our problem is religion, we are too religious in Nigeria.All the problems I have had in my life has been as a result of religion.[color=#000099][/color]

sorry o, but that isnt true

U just hit the nail on the head, christians let's not forget the precepts of christianity, Love of God and Love of neighbour. Jesus said 'love your enemies' matt 7:44, let's not deviate from our essence: christ

kmcutez: What they read from the book the white man gave them.

let me tell u a basic truth, d white man gave u ALL what u have directly or indirectly except your body. Roger that
