Religion / Re: If Jews Reject Jesus, Why Should An African Accept Jesus? by rinrin23(f): 1:05pm On Sep 08, 2014 |
Sanchez01: Jesus is really giving the likes of you sleepless nights... The earlier you take Him in, the better. Its you people that are giving us sleepless nights. How can we sleep knowing that your kind are in the majority. As a country most crucial decisions are made to favor the majority. Stereotypes are created out of the majority. So if the majority, which is you and yours, cant think for yourselves, how can you be trusted to make quality decisions. I have to live here with you people, leadership is in your hands, security is in your hands, healthcare is in your hands, my unborn kids' futures are in your hands. It's not the Jesus factor that's a bother, its the unthinking- unreasoning-crowdmentality- western is superior-holyspirit leads me- jesus is in control- lazyass nature behind it thats worrisome. How can I sleep??! 7 Likes 1 Share |

mstik: Errm, First of all, let me point out that Christianity is not a thing of race or ethnicity I believe the question is if they didn't accept him- THEIR messiah, and STILL don't why should you?. If someone is claiming to be your father and you know he isnt, your family knows he isnt, your country knows he isnt, why should races of people around the world claim he is your father on your behalf and call you wrong with no proof. If Toyota tells you the engine you have is fake, why should you claim superior knowledge over the makers (in this case, the owners). Yes, no one is compelled, but thousands of years ago many were- and harshly, even inhumanly. You never know what you might find if you look farther back into your lineage and history. You might have ancestors that would be rolling in their graves over the thought of you worshipping a god that they refused to accept and were killed over, or a god who they pretended to venerate just so they could get access to quality education. An education they hoped would lead you to the truth through logic and deep thought (and plain common sense most of the time). 'Truth' is to be continuously sought out for, and those that have found it know it's not in a church or in a bible, or in any man-made religion. And they hope that you find this truth too by questioning. Hence the question. It's there to make you think. Not to put up a defence, think. 7 Likes |

Religion / Re: Isreal Vs Pakistan; Whose Side Are You On by rinrin23(f): 3:50pm On Aug 01, 2014 |
morefire: Just listened to two supposed "educated" people arguing about the fight between Israel and Palestine and it is very pathetic how an average Christian in Nigeria is quick to Support the Israelis while an average Muslim supports the other side. It is even more pathetic when they enter into arguments as to who is right or wrong and how the whole fight has been turned into a religious war. That's exactly what it is, a BRT argument. I've learnt that not everyone is as educated as they seem. It's unfortunate that people choose to pick sides over issues that do not directly affect them, and side people that neither know them nor care about their biases. 2 Likes |

emmyskies: But seriously, this is not supposed to be funny?. I apologize then. Kindly research how makeup is made and let me know at what point the blood is introduced. Also does this apply to pink lipstick? How do they change the color of the blood? Also how is it that you've been worshipping this God that you believe created the universe and still be surprised that he knows Ijebu ode, is this because he is white and therefore should have no knowledge of lowly African people?. Dragons don't exist, and in myths are depicted as having serpentine and reptilian features. Where did the hair come from?

Religion / Re: Cobwebs Attack by rinrin23(f): 11:07pm On Jul 28, 2014 |
Cobweb attack? . I'm concerned, this sounds like a classic case of karma. From your narration it looks like he's the one walking into these webs. Poor spiders, all that intricately webbed -hard work, does he not know that's how they get their food. How cruel of him to crumble their food supply and expect no consequences. 2 Likes |
Religion / Re: If Starting A Church Isn't A Business, Why Does It... by rinrin23(f): 9:47pm On Jul 28, 2014 |
tonyayo1: I am a Christian by birth not by choice, same as so many of us. I'm a member of one of the most popular Church in this country but with what I do witness in my church and other churches, made me to believe that Christianity sucks. I got thousand and one questions to ask my brethren in the house but I'll ask but a few... |
Religion / Re: Let Us Pray For Nigeria!!! by rinrin23(f): 2:21pm On Jul 28, 2014 |
Did you know your Omniscient God knew you were going to type out this prayer before you did?. Don't stress, your God knows what's going on. He just chooses not to act. Deal with it. It's all part of "His Plan" 5 Likes |
Religion / Re: One Word To Describe Lucifer by rinrin23(f): 2:15pm On Jul 28, 2014 |
Can't describe someone/something I don't know. Maybe if you provide any historical records of his doing/wrongdoings then I can describe him/it. Also what exactly did this Lucifer do to be called a liar and a fool. 3 Likes |
Religion / Re: Are we really in the end time? by rinrin23(f): 2:10pm On Jul 28, 2014 |
samflexxy: We have had so much about the end time,with so many bad and unspeakable things happening in this world I now think the end time is near! Yes so many unspeakable things. In this age of information, ignorance is at its highest. I believe end times are here, and it began in Nigeria with the death of reasoning. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Religion / Re: Solution To Ebola by rinrin23(f): 1:38pm On Jul 28, 2014 |
It's posts like these that make me so afraid of a massive outbreak in Nigeria. Can we please stop the ignorance, please!!. If you're infected please don't take your contagious self to a pastor that's going to be laying hands on others too and preaching to a congregation. This is how diseases spread. HIV/AIDS has been around for decades and your pastors haven't cured it. Ebola is highly contagious and deadly! Can we please not take any risks, please!! I'm really so scared of you people, please don't let your ignorance be the death of millions. 3 Likes |

cococandy: What scares me is how the congregation just takes it all in. You would think the pastor would have the common decency to at least research his story. I guess it's just one of the many things the "God of impossibilities" makes possible. 1 Like |

Religion / Re: There Has To Be God !!! by rinrin23(f): 4:55pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
Well if you choose to believe that there is a God, then you have to also believe that he created all the situations that you have just listed. Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." So are you saying there has to be a God to save you from a situation he created? What you really need to contend with is whether or not you want to be associated with/worship this God. Also decide if you want to pray your way out of these situations and thereby maybe strenghten your faith (either with a joyous 'miracle' from God or a sad 'its God's will') OR Will you strengthen your own character by accepting that life comes with ups & downs; dealing with the situation and thereby learning from it? 2 Likes |
Religion / Dinner, Drinks And Religion by rinrin23(f): 12:02pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
A dinner with friends slowly morphed into a heated conversation about the supernatural and the "power of the name Jesus", which when called could silence all demons and counter spiritual attacks. I listened as they spoke about waking up and demons holding them down in their sleep. I listened as each from different sects of Christianity tip toed around their beliefs and selected a common enemy- the Muslim, and how deluded they were with their lack of understanding of what "true fasting" was. And how these poor deluded lovers of Allah have a veil of delusion around their eyes that stops them from reasoning and seeing the falsities in their sacred book and beliefs. I listened, smiled and nodded appropriately. I nodded in understanding, I smiled in recognition. These I did because I understood. I too have had these thoughts, I too have stuck to my beliefs feeling lucky to have been born on "the right side" and equally lucky to have been "born again" and "under the grace" of the "new covenant with Christ". But what they didn't see was a woman who has questioned her beliefs and sought the truth; searched through history and understood: the basis of religion, law, power and control; how wars are won and how religions are spread; how diverse the human race is and how religious supremacy is a much worse ideological cancer than racial supremacy. What they didn't see was me fighting back the urge to speak to them about these 'demons' holding them down- teach them about sleep paralysis, release them from their fear of spiritual enemies attacking them; teach them about the power of the mind, and the power of Self. Most of all was me fighting the urge to confess that I too saw them -strong intelligent women deluded with the same veil around their minds. However all I could bring myself to do was smile and nod, and hope that someday they too would question their beliefs and come to know the truth; and thus live a life of spiritual independence and an empowerment that comes from knowing that it was -their strength that got them thought difficult times, their intelligence that got them to the height of their careers, and their mind and soul that keeps them alive. 17 Likes 3 Shares |
