Are you in anyway trying to claim that it was God that commanded Moses to give the orders for erring women, childrien and men to be killed because they turned to other Gods in his absence? Please explain yourself better because the implication of your statement seems to suggest that. plappville: Moses in his nature was told to be a meek Man as i can understand, He even told God he cannot do/handle the task given to Him, he might have said this because he knows it wont be a task for a man like him. Of course if you read forther you will see that God promise to help him all through , God acted through him in speach, actions etc. |

Niflheim: @rhymz,my problem with the christians is that even after seeing all the contradictions,they still insist that it is the word of god and that their are no mistakes!!!religious books are the only book that I know that people read without the aids of common of sense. If you have noticed, none of them have been bold enough to defend the incoherence I have stated here, the few that attempted only ended up making of fool of themselves and exposing their lack of knowledge of their own religion. Imagine this other dude arguing that Adam was called Isreal at some point in the bible. . lol. . I have not stopped laughing at the nonsense. |

obadiah777: once again you show your ignorance. you are quite adept at being ignorant. the ammonites and moabites are descendants of shem, as are the israelites. however the moabites and ammonites are also descendants of lot and his two daughters. prior to LOT and his 2 daughters existence there was adam who later was called Israel. israel is the only pure line of adam. when israel was called adam the scriptures were around. however they were inscribed in man. JOHN 1 VS 1 in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.hahahahahahah. . . You are a dumb clown that knows nothing. No matter how hard you pretend to know, your ignorance betrays your attempt. You make christians look like programmed robots with no mind or serious knowledge of their religion. I have continued to school you yet you keep coming up with mumbo-jumbo and conjectural crap that makes no sense. Lol. . Imagine this ignoramus slowpoke claiming that Adam was later called Isreal, Where? Can you please quote the part of the bible that made such a false claim? Are you dense in the head or something? Just see how this !d!ot keep inventing crap to support his very wrong claims and stance. Isreal just like everyother biblical tribes and nation descended from another older tribe or person. They are no first, neither was Adam called Isreal at any time in the bible, go and purge yourself off that crap you have been reading, your are realy dense and know nothing about your wack religion. . Lol. . What a phoney cretin parading and pretending like he knows anything. Keep splitting hairs with your ignorance, I am here to expose you. |

@Nagoma Obviously, I am on your last nerve and yeah, I am not apologetic. In fact, if it will take harsh repremand and the truth to make your likes stand up to the ugly facts and do something, so be it! Like I said before, I am not taking the position that the south is eldorada or having it way better niether is this a contest of "who better pass". However, the difference is very clear in all cadres of developments between the North and the South and it is worrying. Especially if one considers the fact that the North is a part of Nigeria, whatever affects this part of Nigeria will surely find its way to haunt parts that have taken the initiative to move. I am more concerned about the dizzying level of poverty in the north than the hurting of your ego and pride because most of it are self-inflicted and to some extent avoidable. I accused you of not doing anything because your earlier statement or attempt to defend the status quo seemed to suggest that these people are contented with being poor, a wrong impression many Northerners give when confronted with the truth. You can't tell Me that Amina does not wish to go to school and get some good education. Apparently, she never bargained to be forced into marriage (being exposed to sex and child birth) at the tender age of 14 and 15 years. Encouraging a young Aliyu that is poor to marry more than one wife with countless childrien he has no plans for is not a culture to be encouraged. I am not against polygamy but it should be practised by a person that is financially capable to do so. A religion that does not promote self-reliance and skills aquisitions through education, instead relies heavily on abstract religious promises to cater for the harsh realities of life is not a religion or culture to be supported. A religion that seeks to bar everyone from talking about the problems and does nothing to address it is useless to the adherents. The difference between those girls that prostitute in Italy and those boys that courier drugs abroad from the south is that they have a choice, the decision to do so is theirs. No culture or religion forced them into doing such, thesame can not be said for those almajiri childrien that roam about en mass in Shinkafi, Gusau, Sabon-Birnin bus-stops and co begging for what to eat yet their parents are in far away having sex with little girls and bringing more childrien to replace them. The north is in denial of its problems that is why they can't seem to make any serious headway, it is all politics to them even though they are the worst hit in the scheme of things. To think that they have ruled and basterdized leadership process in this country makes me shudder. You should be honest enough to admit your failings, instead of letting your arrogance to impair your sense of justice and fairness, who knows, you could have been one of these childrien that have been caught up by the balls and chains fetters of retrogressive and inhibitive culture and religion. |

obadiah777: typical ignorant cretin resorting to bellicose tone to cover up his paucity of knowledge. of course Israel is Jacob. you thought you were breaking grounds when you made that announcement ? and if you took the time to read what i put up you would understand how Israel is the first born son of God. Israel is the only unadulterated seed of the original man created by God. the rest had mutated and adapted and cross-bred their way into hamites, ishmaelites, edomites, elamites, moabites, cuhshites, ammonites and japhetites. As such God is only dealing with the original seed he made hence why he is always going on about the Israelites. these are his first born children. the people he gave his laws statutes and commandments ( psalms 147 vs 19 and 20 ). these are the first people on earth and before the others came on the scene these had put down some of the scriptures down. these are the pure unadulterated seeds of Adam. all the other mutants that came outof Adam did not have any laws as the laws were only given to Israel. as such these mutants ( heathens ) started their own worshipping rituals ( of which atheism and paganism is a part of ). some of these heathens remixed the Israelite scriptures to form their own belief system. however further down the line the lord included them into the law ( hence why we have the new testament. the new testament is for the inclusion of the heathens). The point here is there is no such thing as pre-christian doctrine. any doctrine that exists outside of the scripture came about muchhhhhhhhhhhh later by the heathens as a form of worship before they got included in the scriptures in the new testament. however some of them still hold on to these delusional beliefs.. . . . Hahahahaha, impressive nonsense. You are rambling and you know that, I can conclude from your gibberish that you know next to nothing about your bible and history. It is clear that you don't even understand your own confusing arguments. At first, you claimed that the first people on earth were Isrealites, I corrected you and even demonstrated to you that if I were to assume the nonsense in your bible was right, even Isrealites, the childrien of Jacob could not have been the first. According to the fairy tale of Jacob cheating his twin brother the older one, of his birth right, it was said that their mother Rebeka fearing that Esau might Kill Jacob his younger twin brother, sent him to live with a relative whose name is Laban. Laban too has his own childrien. To further show how stooopid and dumb your argument is, the Ammonites, Moabites and co you so dumbly mentioned are tribes and nations that exist way before Jacob was born not to talk of calling him isreal. The Ammonites and Moabites are descendants of Lots daughters, cushites are descendants of Ham, all of which existed and had their own way of worship before the name came into existence. Seriously, you need to shut the hell up and understand the 4cking geneology of the peoples of your bible before rushing to post crass ignorance. Again and I will repeat over and over again, Isrealites were not the first people on earth neither are they thesame thing as today's christians. Isrealites till date practices Judaism, a religion very different from Paul's created Christianity helped by the Church of Rome. Keep spreading your ignorance, I will keep deflating your bubbles. |

There is no doubt amongst Imolites that Owelle realy wants change and is determined to do so, I think the problem lies in his unorthodox method and sometimes undemocratic resort. I am of the opinion that his problem started when he undemocratically sacked the LG chiefs and his less that tactical manner in which he handled the trap Ohakin set for him with the appointments of his 10,000 jobs program which we all know was a ruse to cause problems in the absence of his government. The numerous road constructions going on, which ordinarily would have been a thing of joy to imolite has become one of the major problems. The unorthodox manner in which every tom dick and harry was given the awrad to build, reconstruct and repair without taking into consideration their expertise and ability to deliver the job has become a sour taste in the tongue of imolites. Most of the contractors handling the Job, I am told are not professionals or seemed committed to the contracts awarded else they would have known that the rainy season was by the corner and limited the scope of their work to what can be done at the given time. His education policy while it is well intentioned seemed far-fetched and unsustainable, it is not even a priority to begine with. He is letting hi welfarist ideology to hinder his ability to prioritize what is feasible, sustainable and a good policy to drive his in good intentions. Anyway, let us still give him time, I still maintain that he is better than most of his contemporaries. |

obadiah777: THERE is no such thing as pre-christian myths. who came first the father or the child ?hahahahah. . . Are you trying to be clever or something. The first people on earth were Isrealites, says who? Not even your bible can make such a claim. Do you know who realy is isreal? Isreal was Jacob. His Childrien are isrealites. You are full of delusions and the illogical lies of the bibles. Isrealites were not the first people on earth, am sure you know Jacob had a brother Esau or whatever the 4ck is, he too got married to some mystery b!tch. Jacob that settled in Egypt met people there am Guessing, yes or no? Anyway, I am laughing at the nonsense you are spewing and the confusions your bible is spreading. Besides, if you want to argue about the truthfulness of events, the bible and its numerous inaccuracies is the last book to quote as an authentic source. The people that lived before the advent of Jesus christ myth and its followers practiced and worshipped mostly mythological sun gods or gods whose origin has some astrological connections. Even the image of Jesus depicts such a practice. Abi you think say all that light and sunlight assoxiated with his image as divine is conincidental? Guy go read up jare! |

THE CONTRADICTORY CREATION ACCOUNTS Genesis 1:25-27 ANIMALS WERE CREATED BEFORE HUMANS And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image.... So God created man in his own image. HUMANS WERE CREATED BEFORE ANIMALS Genesis 2:18-19 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. MAN AND WOMEN WERE SIMULTENEOUSLY CREATED Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. MAN WAS CREATED FIRST, THEN ANIMALS AND FINALLY WOMAN FROM MAN'S RIBS Genesis 2:18-22 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them.... And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Na which one we go come follow? Lol |

obadiah777: the explanation is this. after the european rennaisance, the newly emerged powers that be saw that the bible was a tell-tale book as to the history of the world both past present and future. like for example in the book of maccabbees it tells you all the empires that reigned before the greek empire. however the newly emerged caucasian powers wanted the world to believe that civilization started with the greek. how else do you stamp your authority on the world by doctoring documents to prove your superiority and that from you emerged civilization ? so what they did is they formed the BIBLE DESTRUCTION GROUP. the purpose of this body was to try to make the bible seem as unreal as possible by altering and tampering with texts and putting numerous obvious errors here and there. they also took out the part of the bible that had the empires that occurred before the greeks and declared it as uninspired. these are now called the hidden books or what we term the APOCRYPHA. that in a nutshell is how we have a bible without the apocrypha and with errors. however the lord knew this would happen but he made it so that they would commit themselves to this crime but not alter the real message. |

Guy you have been taking in the wrong history lessons. To be fair, if not for the revisionism of the early church fathers and Bishops in Rome, and the exclusion of the aforementioned apochripha from the bible, there would have been dizzying similarities between Christian liturgy and Practices and those of early pre-christian pagans. In fact, the reason they did not add the apocrypha is because the "copy and paste" method would have been so obvious that people will see that there id nothing original about christianity. So stop deluding yourself, the only reason church fathers have always engaged in outright distortion and revisionism is to hide the fact that they were plagiarizing pre-christian myths and liturgy. They keep editing and infusing accounts to embelish and make the person of Jesus seem real. Jesus never existed in the first place. That is the truth they dont want you to know. |

The Op quoted biblical errors that I'd to like hear the explanations from my Christian brothers & sisters, pls help instead of arguing with an unbeliever over trinity.Let Me shock you some more. Most people that delude themselves as Christians, actually knows next to nothing about their religion. They are mostly christians by default of their birth into it not because of their deep convictions in the teachings of christianity. You will be hard press to find a young christian that is very knowledgeable about the history of Christianity and its relationship to other religion that existed before the advent of christianity. Most of them read the bible without the aids of their brains and common sense. The bible is the only book I know that people read and bury their brains in faith (irrational belief in the illogical). Christians will argue sentimentally about things that are too glaring to see the illogicality of arguing for it. Blind followership is the hallmark of any good christians. They will never question the illogicality of God sending his only begotten son to be murdered by Humans, whom it is claimed Jesus came to save from the anger of his father, God. Does it mean God can be so irrational and eg-driven that in other to appease his own anger and ego, Jesus Christ had to be murdered by thesame people his Father is angry with? What exactly is the essence of Jesus' death? I challenge any christian to explain that illogical christian claims to me. |

Why do you assume that I am a muslim? Hahahah. . Like I give a 4ck about who Mohammed deludes with his violent religion. Mohammed to Me, was just another Hitler, just that in his own case, he succeeded. Islam as a religion started out through conquering tribes and territory and forcing the people to convert to mo' delusions. So save yourself the history lesson about some Mohammed crap. Difference between Mohammed and Jesus is that the former actually happened while the latter is a fairytale concocted by Early Roman Church fathers and ambitious Politicians. If you contend with that, then give is concrete proof to support Jesus's existence not based on the christian bible with its stupifying inaccuracies and hilarious illogical fairytales. frosbel: Jesus Christ is the ONLY way , the ONLY Truth and the ONLY Path to Life. Jesus Christ is the giver of salvation and eternal life.says who? The christian bible I guess. In My house, I am the way, the truth and the life.

| Christianity Etc › Re: Confusion: See How The Bible Contradicts Itself by rhymz(op): 11:11am On Sep 07, 2012 |
The Bible has inconsistent accounts of who created the heavens and the earth. The Old Testament of the Bible is clear that God created everything alone. The New Testament, however, inserts Jesus into the stories and says that God and Jesus created everything together. So which part of the Bible is correct about who was involved with creation: the Old or the New Testament? THE OLD TESTAMENT Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself. THE NEW TESTAMENT John 1:6-10 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 1 Corinthians 8:6 Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things are and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and through whom we exist. This Bible inconsistency is arguably created by differences of theology: the Jews were strict monotheists while Christianity which is Pauline Theology introduced the new idea of a "Trinity," three persons that are also one person. .lol. .i.e 1+1+1=1according to today's Christian theology. Some Christians try to resolve the inconsistency by saying that references to a single person are consistent with the trinity and so do not contradict later references to two or three persons. The fact remains, though, that the Old Testament never mentions Jesus' involvement in creation and that's rather an important detail to leave out, isn't it? That's why these Bible verses are inconsistent. Some say that God acted alone when creating the heavens and earth while others say God acted with Jesus to create the heavens and earth. They can't all be right, but they can all be wrong. Is this a legitimate Bible inconsistency or contradiction, or can the various accounts of who created the heavens and the earth be harmonized? If you think you can resolve this Bible inconsistency, explain how — but your solution cannot add anything new that's not already in the stories and cannot leave out any details that the Bible provides. |

seriallink: You atheists are fond of criticising religious people. Since atheists do not believe in the existence of God & Satan, why not open other threads sometimes about satanism & criticise the satanic teachings of people like Anton Szandor LaVey, the author of the satanic bible & the founder of the church of satan? Anton's teachings challenges the ten commadments (considered the foundation for Moral Laws) which I know good atheists respect too. Why is it that almost all (if not all) of your threads & posts criticises the existence of God only? I'm begining to see a pattern & I vehemently believe it's the handwork of satan; he is manipulating & using y'all against God's wordMy friend, nobody is arguing that Satan exists or not. You see the problem people like me have with religious people, christians especially is the illogicality of their claims. Have you seen the creation accounts in the bible? It is just like every other fairytale about Jesus laden with incoherence and illogicality. In one account God created day and night before he created the sun, how illogical. Another thing you fail to recognize is the fact that Christianity is just a brazen copy of pagan litany and dogma with some alteration. And incase you do not know, today's present bible just like most things originated from thr Church of Rome. Most of the accounts in the New testament were given by unknown authors could as well have been lackey church writers not to talk of the ones gotten from other religions that were practising paganism before the fairytale of Christ came up. The books allegedly written by Paul most of which constitute the New testament are altered version of heretic Pauline works. By the way, from the way you christians complain about the devil, it appears your all powerful God is unable to get rid of Satan, why? By the way, who created the Devil, God? Why can't he, God, the almighty curtail the devil by getting rid of him, giving the headaches he had continued to cause for God. Abi is he not that powerful? |

nagoma: Obviously an issue of different values. You are applying your own definition of success to different culture. You said religion " is like the basis of their being " but if you ask them they will tell you - it is the basis of their lives. All the material pocessions you classify as success are secondary to them. You will be surprised that lots of them are happier and more contented than you. Happiness is a fundamental craving in life and you know very well that doesn't mean ownership of wealth even in the materialistic greed driven societies we take as yardsticks. Please don't let this cultural shock affect your life. My advise to you is - try by all means to travel around the world and meet a variety of people and cultures , that will educate you.well, I understand all that moral sermon but that does not negate the fact that there is rife unwanted poverty amongst. Don't delude yourself assuming they are contented in such a deplorable state. That is the excuse that their politicians have continued to use to keep them in bondage. How is not being able to provide for yourself and family a contented way of life in any culture? As much as I acknowledge the cultural difference, it still does not negate the facts that most of the poverty is self inflicted. A people that have little regards for education, marry many wives even when they don't have the financial wherewithal to cater for them, a culture that supports the bearing of uncountable childrien with no serious plans for them is retrogressive and should not be encouraged. Do you know how much suffferings will be reduced if those underaged girls they marry off to old Hot hausa men were allowed to go to school and get better education. This goes beyond cultural shock and I am not claiming that there is no poverty down south, my contention is that a larger part of the poverty pattern in the north is self-inflicted occassioned by daft religiuos and retrogressive cultural practices that should be phased out in any society that wishes to progress and develope. I have been to places outside of Nigeria, Northern Nigeria especially the far North is one of the worst places with high incidences of avoidable poverty. May be it is you that needs to broaden your horizon and realize that people have gone past the stage of indiscrimate bearing of childrien and underage marriage and retrogressive polygamy in the face of poverty. My problem with educated northerners like yourself is that you do nothing to better the system, instead you exploit them and when queried you resort to this sort of response that seem to suggest that they relish in their lack and want. |

But what are those southerners you mentioned doing in such an environment if they are any better?Business and making the place livable for human beings that might be dragged there by work or some other important stuff. You think anyone with their clear eyes will want to live in Sokoto? Anyway, don't let us derail the thread, Sokoto is a facking boring place to live with very boring people that are obsessed with religious rights and rituals than to better their own lives. It is like the basis of their being, they are so facking docile to their own detriment. 80% of them are illiterate, they lack ambition and drive to succeed. I have never seen a people so at ease with poverty and lack in my life. Their politicians are even more corrupt, they exploit their "docile and foolish religious piety". Abeg don't get me started. |

MacDaddy01: Rhymz, I hope that you are not a muslim because muslims are more guilty of denying contradictions in their holy book.I am not a muslim. I am an Igbo man and like you know, 95% of us are christians. However, I am a christian by convenience and not by conviction. Knowing how religious our society is, you might lose opportunities if you come out openly to declare your unorthodox religious convictions, you might end up being judged by it. I rarely engage Muslims in debate because most of the ones I know are closeted and dangerously fanatical. They percieve contrary opinions to theirs as a sin worthy of death. The Koran and Hadith have never assumed any form of divinity to me, not when they have vague verses that are very susceptible to misinterpretation and misapplication. I would not know if they consider the Koran as inerrant, if they do, that will be very laughable cos their claims of peace is a stark contradiction to what they do. |

Evil Brain: I hate to defend the Christians, but they don't often claim the bible is inerrant, most likely because it so clearly isn't.I think it is the christian that makes that claims more than anyother religious followers. Wait until the likes of Anonym will come and put a spin to explain every one of these inaccuracies. I have met many, both here on NL and in real life who argue that the bible is an accurate history book, they say everything recorded in the bible is correct and inconstestible. Some even question your guts to question some of the illogicalities found in the bible. For instance, we are told that God is omniscient and omnipresent yet the bible records in Genesis 3:9 How God called on Adam, "Where are you?". One would expect an omnipresent God to know that already. When Adam replied, again in verse 11, God the Omniscient one, queries Adam further "who told you that you are naked?"

yet, we are told by Christian apologists that the bible is an inerrant book that contains the very words of God. Apparently, God is not inerrant afterall, according to the bible, not with these very funny inconsistensies. |

Joagbaje: If you repent of a sin and ask for forgiveness ,your plate get wiped clean. To answer your part 4 question, A christian will not face The white throne judgement . The judgement of the christian is the Judgement seat of ChristIs this "white Judgement" and "Seat of Christ" judgement thing your own creation or lingo to explain the inexplicable? What is the whole essense of being judged in the end if already, as Christians claim, there is a mechanism for immediate atonement of sin through a belief in Jesus' death and ressurection. What is then the difference between one who does not recognize Jesus before death and the one that recognizes him before death? They all face judgement? So what exactly will the christian guy be judged for, if it is already established before his death that he had fulfilled all the bible requirement. |

nagoma: I think Sokoto has one of the widest selection of foods and snacks in the country. Where are you in sokoto? In the prison ?I am in Sabon Birnin, it is worse than a prison. If you claim that Sokoto has the highest selection of food and snacks then the other northern states are worst off. There is hardly any good food here both local or mainstream cuisines. I am yet to bring myself to taste any of the food here besides the ones I prepare. Thank God there are Igbo and Yoruba people here that bring food item from the south not planted in the north, I wonder how one would have survived on the awful food they eat here. Did I tell that the people are so very dirty? Geeez, these guys eat flies infested food, dont cover the food items they sell and drink Fura from thesame bowl they use in preparing it. Abeg, I would rather be in a prison walahi! |
| Christianity Etc › Re: GRACE: What's Love Got To Do With It? by rhymz(m): 7:53pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
It amazes me that many Christians choose to be either Naive or loyally dumb to see the disagreement between Paul and the leaders of the Jerusalem Church. It is all too glaring to see that Paul was teaching very different ideology about Jesus from what the disciples of Jesus were preaching in Jerusalem. When the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that Paul was preaching a different doctrine in Galatia and Corinthia, telling them not to follow Judaic law anymore. The Apostles went to Galatia and Corinthia and convinced everyone that Paul was teaching Heresy, Paul heard about it and went straight back to the cities, sensing how the Apostles from Jerusalem were making a mockery of his own version of Jesus's teachings had this to say to the Galatians in chapter 1: 6 "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a DIFFERENT GOSPEL" note the capitalized phrase "different gospel". At the time all this was going on, there was a lot of narratives and accounts of Jesus' life written by apostles, writers, gnostics and so on. The so-called canonical gospels and epistles in what has finally become the New testament Bible were the accounts and narratives voted and chosen by the early church fathers in Rome from the numerous accounts floating around, some of which today have been termed as apocryphal. Marcion was the first to publish the NT bible, his version was quite different from today's NT bible, had a different gospel of Luke which he called Evangelicon, it did not contain titus, matthew, John and Mark, instead it contained 10 of Pauline epistles which he called Apostolikon. Marcion believed there was only one true gospel which had been corrupted into many versions. He explained using the book of Galatians in which Paul emphasizedthat that there was only one gospel, Galatian 1:8-10 states that false brethren are attempting to turn believers from this gospel Galatians 1:6-7). Of the Gospels that were current among the churches, the only one that Marcion felt he could trust was the Gospel according to Luke. Obviously this was because Luke was cosidered a disciple of Paul. Marcion removed passages he regarded as Judaizing interpolations smuggled into the text by biased editors. By the way, Marcion was an unrepentant gnostic that was excommunicated from the Church because of his theological philosophy which was rooted strongly from Pauline epistles. All these are to show how gnostic Paul himself was evwn though chuch guys like Anonym like to pretend and numb it down with irration explanations that seeks to deny the obvious. Let Me get back to Mr Paul. Paul continued to preach his "heresy" in Galatia and Corinthia contrary to the teachings of Jesus' desciples and brother of christ James. This disagreement was not minor as the book of Acts pretentiously suggests, this is seen In Galatian 2vs11-21 In this chapter and verses, any unbias reader can tell that there is a fundamental doctrinal misunderstanding between what Paul was teaching and the understanding of Peter and Barnabas with regards to what Christ's teachings were all about. Paul condemns all Jewish Christians including Peter and Barnabas. Peter truly would have known Jesus better than Paul because Paul with all his claims never met or saw Jesus till his alleged death. In Acts 4:31 Luke gives an account of how John and Peter prayed to God for guidance and boldness to preach in the name of christ even after being warned by the priests and the other leaders to desist from doing so. This account tells us that they were filled with the holy spirit as they prayed, If Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit then why is Paul calling Peter a hypocrite for eating with the Gentiles and then when people came from James he got up. James is Jesus’ half brother, he lived and stayed with Jesus. Why did he still think that people still have to eat meat? Bad enough, there is only the account of Paul’s story regarding this incident, no Peter's. Barnabas is also called a hypocrite in Galatian2:13. Look how in verses 15 through 17, Paul is arguing with them about the law. Obviously the disciples wanted to follow the law and suggested following it. Otherwise Paul wouldn’t have mentioned it. This is what Jesus said to Peter In matthew 6vs18 "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it". Yet Paul thinks Peter is a hypocrite for defending what he had been taught by Jesus. Every one reads this passage, onr is always tempted to question the authenticity of Paul's conversion and the belief by today's preachers that Paul got a higher revelation of christ's mission superior to those of his disciples who followed him around, heard his teachings, understood his mission and the his ideologies. It is laughable that anyone will believe that Paul got a spiritually superior message of christ's mission. Notice how he rarely talks about Jesus's teachings, never quotes Jesus or say anything about his miracles and wonderful teachings rather he concentrates on very different teachings that boarders on a salvation-death atonement through a belief in the death and ressurection of Jesus christ, a teaching very similar to the myth of Roman gods Osiri and co. How their violent death brought atonement of sins to those that worshipped them. How come Jesus was silent about his own mission according to Paul's teachings? Everything Paul taught was in complete disagreement with what Jesus was known to have preached. He was a heretic and unfortunately his teachings form the basis of today's faith based christianity, little wonder the majority of christiandom has not made any serious improvement spiritually cos Pauline's teachings contrasted mostly on belief and strongly opposes work. Let's see further how his teachings continued to contradict his claims of teaching about Jesus. In Romans 14:20 paul teaches: "Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble" Meanwhile In the Book of Acts 15:29 the Apostles wrote a letter to the gentiles to abstain from certain foods and that not all foods were declared clean: "You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from $exuual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell". Paul sensing that the Gentiles were begining to listen to the appostles could'nt hide his anger when in Galatian 3:1-3 he wrote: You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? Obviously Paul was having problems convincing people of his very strange teachings. There were people that were disagreeing with him. If Jesus taught that the law was over clearly, then people would not be arguing over this. It is very evident that there was disagreement even though christian xhurch likes to paint a different picture and pretend about this facts. |

nagoma: Sokoto -Fura (dawo)I am presently in Sokoto state now. To be honest, I find it difficult to reconcile the kind of food they eat here. I wont touch Fura with a hundred metre, thesame bowl that is used in preparing it is were they drink it from, they donlt even bother to garnish it with milk, sugar and other beverages, they just sell and drink it like that. Masala looks like shit to me. It seems to me that maize food constitute a large size of the Hausa diet. Like serioisly, them no get food one can comfortably sit down and eat without feeling like one is making an attempt on something difficult. |

CCIkef: No doubt many religions of the world seek to imbibe some form of moral principles in man.Abeg don't add to the already saturated world of fanaticism, Christians are not any better in that regard. We all know of their own mostrous atrocities to their fellow men all on the basis of difference in religious ideology. How is telling a non-christian that he will be condemned to hell eternally all because he wont accept Jesus Christ as his lord and saviour a tolerant ideology. Religion itself is discriminatory and has the tendency to change an otherwise erstwhile rational person with a good heart to an intolerant brute of monstrous proportions. |
