gatiano:And how many did Penn kill? Did he support them? There are many corrupt people in Nigeria, does that make you automatically guilty? America has legalized gay marriages, does that mean they are all gay? Do we not have people in the same country coming out against it? Would you like it if you were in the airport and a foreigner tells you (you and all Nigerians) must be very greedy and cruel for embezzling money meant for arms?! Stop the generalisations! |
gatiano:Prove that figure with credible references! Look the white explorers were not christian missionaries! In fact Pennsylvania was named after William Penn, a Protestant Christian who was very courteous to the indigenous Americans http://digitalhistory.hsp.org/pafrm/doc/william-penn-kings-indians-pennsylvania-october-18-1681 Read the letter a Christian business man (not missionary) wrote to the Indigenous Indians in America (not Africa). Note how he dissociated himself from the cruelty of others from where he was coming from. Once again, note that this was not a missionary but a christian business man wanting to help resettle the brethren who were persecuted |
gatiano:Alright it says Catholic Church. |
gatiano:Prove this! And kindly give us the name of the Church that sponsored atheism in the Soviet Union. |
gatiano:Dont let the Theophobes on nairaland see the highlighted. Let's go back to the topic. |
gatiano:Kindly make a point, no need to get personal. (choice is yours though) |
gatiano:But the letter in question has nothing to do with protestants then and now? And the acts you are condemning was not carried out by True protestant missionaries! When the Bible talks about last day false prophets who will make merchandise of people...2 Peter 2:1-3 we know who those are. The presence of the false shows there will still be the true! |
gatiano:Besides 'fair' man. The most deaths award is laid at the fit of atheism. |
dearpreye:The op started out not as a soul seeking salvation but as a supposedly standing believer wanting to follow the steps of those who left in John 6. But I did not see anything sharp in the post I quoted. |
gatiano:I thought we were focusing on the early missionaries? |
gatiano:This is not the focus of the thread! You can open a thread for that. Haitian did not serve no evil or devils, when they sticked to what was theirs, they whooped everybody's behind, their problem again began when they began accepting jesus who couldn't save himself as the tales go as their personal saviour. They are now in terrible shape ever since.can we have proofs? And who do you mean by 'everybody'? Who in the hell told you Awo and Zik go independent thru fake ass, hair touching shoulders, dead hair jesus.Thanks for coming out in full colour 'fair one'! Besides show me ANYTHING in my post that suggests remotely that they got independence by prayer!!! Indeed, the hard core of hate and prejudice against Jesus and anything having to do with Him were covered by a thin ice of a claim to fairness; at this point, it errupted to the surface!!! You are not alone though, the Pharisees shared your passion. They had to show the dead black people walking that they were christians, They were not. christianity is bondage; Mathematically you can never use bondage to free yourself from bondage.Now 'fair' one, how does this have to do with my last post? Answer, your malice ran over unexpectedly! Do you see how Awo's wife was laid to rest? does that look christian to you?And how does this connect to my last post? Did I say Awo was a Christian or that he fought for independence through Christ? |
dearpreye:Bro, on the day of pentecost, they were pricked in the heart (not warmed by banal/human love) after Peter preached, likewise when Stephen preached in Acts 6. There is a place for persuasion, there is also a place for severity! If I were to follow your argument, was Jesus being loveless when He made no attempt to call back those who left Him in John 6 because of a hard message?! Did He not even ask the remaining 12, "would you also go away?" Was Peter loveless when he rebuked Simon very sharply (remember Simon too believed and was what we call new convert today) in Acts 8? Paul was gentle as a nurse among converts but when a person claims to have being a long-standing christian... there is this command to ,"rebuke them sharply in public" when they sin. Titus 1:13, 1 Timothy 5:20. Besides, the op already clearly said she did not have an encounter with Christ suggesting she was born in a Christian family, went through the motions but had not definite salvation by faith! I do not support the comments encouraging suicide sarcastically etc but I speak in respect of the comment below: Oselumhe: |
muafrika:Kindly show exactly how Dr Livingstone fulfilled the charge in the op! Now, 1. Who sent Dr Livingstone to Africa? 2. What motivated him to leave the comforts of his place? 3. Were the protestant missionaries sponsored by the Govt or autonomous missionary boards or themselves? 4. What motivated Livingstone's efforts into the deep jungles? Answer these with references and not prejudice! William Carey came to know of places in India through the publications of an secular explorer and Carey saw the spiritual need/condition spurred him to seek to take the Gospel to such places! Now will it be just in a court to hold that the explorers went to pave way for the missionaries? NO. Vice versa. Besides, prove by exampes one or two protestant missionaries that had the power to call their home country govt for protection/ to send armies to protect them!!! (if this was possible, John and Betty Stam will not have been beheaded in China (or Japan). In fact from the story of Adoniram Judson in India, we see that the explorers and/or exploitative foreign govts made the work of protestant missionaries more difficult. |
gatiano:The point remains that the letter was written to Catholic missionaries (not same with protestants). Show a similar document written to missionaries other than the catholics. |
gatiano:Bro, freedom from slavery is highly desirable but not to be sought from the devil! Did Awo and Zik etc seek Nigeria's from the devil? The point is that they sought help from one that has no free gift! Eg we all know what happens to those who seek wealth from the devil! |
gatiano:That means the audience for this speech was the missionaries of Catholicism!!! Well, let them come and explain! The ones I mentioned so far were neither Priests, Fathers nor Reverends. William Carey was a cobbler; C.T.Studd was a student lawyer etc (all protestants) |
muafrika:Kindly name some of those 'devilish missionaries'. Note that Missionaries are not explorers. |
gatiano:Who released Israel from Babylonian captivity? Was it Cyrus (a pagan king?) NO. God Who is over all had through Isaiah long ago prophesied that Cyrus would be used to release them after 70 years in captivity.Did the Israelites then surrender to Cyrus' idol afterwards NO! All creation and elements are under God's control! There is a difference between 'editing' and 'compiling/gathering'. |
gatiano:Sorry, who are the 'they'? There are other missionaries that targeted places with similar zeal= AdoniramJudson-India; William Carey-India; Hudson Taylor-China; Jim Elliott-Aucas Indians in America etc The two last mentioned were willing to die in the attempt and the last one and his team were speared to death! CT Studd-Asia and Africa (this one was wealthy but he received God's call, disposed off his wealth and headed out as a missionary) This verily does not sound like folks looking for wealth!!! 2) When we talk about the issues surrounding the birth and life of Yeshua/Jesus, We must understand that Jesus was of one racial group, I say he's African, however be the case, He is aramiac, and herod was probably a roman. Where do you think those three wise men would have come from? were they romans? if they were, they would have complied to herod's instruction. Evidently, they were not and to add more to this story, a precise adjective was used to describe then, they were wise, wisdom builds with age.In summary, they did not obey meaning we cannot judge missionaries from an evil king's letter. Bring up a similar letter from the Missions board that sent out the names I have mentioned and others then I will reason with your intention! 3) Hebrew midwives delivered a boy from a hebrew mother, after they had been ordered by a egyptian king.My reason for asking was to show you that just as we cannot judge the midwives using a cruel edict, likewise we cannot judge missionaries using an evil king's letter!!! 4) obviously they acted it out 100%, the prove is right in your face with how Africans are going to a church where a pastor would insert a life snake in their throats in the name of deliverance. The evil plan of those that you mentioned and the rest of them is seen as prove today.Long before the missionaries, the Bible already spoke of false prophets in the last days. Kindly show us ONE of the missionaries that did the ones you referred to. 5) Lake's ministry in South Africa was not without controversy. Morton wrote[1]:114–15 that Lake was accused of: misappropriating the AFM's funds, particularly that funds did not flow to poor rural areas but were concentrated with Lake and his party; acting dictatorially; exaggerating the effectiveness of the revival movement he led; and staging miraculous healings through audience plants. He also wrote that "an analysis of the missionary career of John G Lake shows that the initial spread of Pentecostalism and Zionism in southern Africa was facilitated by the systematic use of fraud and deception." from wiki via google. It speaks for itself.Every true minister always has their false accusers (even Jesus was accused falsely). Unfortunately, the source you settled for is silent about his efforts, his charity, how that his wife died due to the overwork in helping the natives there, how that he was a very wealthy businessman in America before the call came and how his company were reluctant to release him etc Kindly endeavour to be thorough. He left some mines (5) behind? How and why did have them in the first place? was South Africa his ancestral land.Who told you the highlighted? (It is a LIE) 6) whether they built industries or not is not the issue here, the missionaries were sent by their various kings from europe to water down the souls and consciousness of the African People. their missionary work paved way for the industrialist thievesAnd you said you wanted to be fair? In a court, evidences (not just one) will be needed for these claims. How much more when the only evidence you have is a letter from a king reputed to be evil! 7) Like I said, [size=13pt]they all[/size] paved the ways from the thieves to come in. The missionary thieves came in peace to simmer us down before the industrialist thieves came in.You will have to prove this with sufficient evidences.Start with the first set Matthew (Ethiopia) and Simon Zelotes(Mauritania), disciples of Christ. What grievous accusations from a 'fair' op!!! Kindly read about his life. What were this missionaries doing when the beast leopold killed of 40 million Congolese, hailed in belgium; yet hitler who killed 20 million european akhenazi became a beast?For somebody with such terrible antecedents, using his letter to malign the missionaries is libelous! You obviously think all white men that came to Africa were Christians/Missionaries? We had explorers who were nothing more than that! Seriously, that you had next-to-NO idea about these missionaries in general and their labours exposes how 'fair' you meant to be when you started!!! |
Qualer:Sure! Just recommended Google as a basic source. All i know about the names mentioned was not from Google but personal studies. |
Op said he was not writing from hate but will judge all missionaries from the letter written by a king the op admits to be very evil! And that king was from a country that sent only God knows how many missionaries!(how many of the front line missionaries were from there?) That the king wrote this does not mean the missionaries followed suit! If you want to criticise come out openly!!! This veneer of fairness is akin to hiding behind a little finger. 1. Was Africa the only place missionaries came to? 2. Will it be right to judge the 3 wise men based on Herod's malicious admonition? Did they obey Herod? 3. Will it be right to judge the midwives as a result of Pharaoh's murderous edict? Did the midwives obey Pharaoh's demonic instructions? 4. Prove beyond reasonable doubts that missionaries like David Livingstone, David Brainerd, Mary Slessor, william Carey etc acted out the script in the op. 5. Why did John G. Lake hand over to a native after 5 years and returned to America? What were those 5years used for? How many companies prospecting S/A gold did he leave behind? 6. how many industries did the following missionaries build: adoniram judson, Hudson Taylor, John Stam, William Carey etc 7. Now dont miss this one, how many estates and industries did C.T.Studd own in Africa? 8. Compare and contrast the life of Samuel Morris (Prince Kaboo) with the claims in the op. Google can satisfy you with details about the names mentioned. |
CoolUsername:Is there sufficient evidences for embryos of other animals growing 'lost parts' and loosing them before delivery? It seems to me that the issue of the sperm whale is just what to expect from an embryo (most of which are usually weird looking initially). |
vincent10:But the woman in Revelations was taken not to Heaven but the wilderness for 3.5 years, is that Mary? But the woman had seed described as the Remnant, (see Romans 11:5) was that Mary? And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelations 12:14-17 |
Millerz:Sis, since you know the highlighted, I wonder why you are therefore backing out!!! Jesus Who had NO sin, the Son of the Father's Love!!! What then should they say that were burnt at the stakes or fed to lions for being ...Christians? Or that died violent deaths while trying to obey the great Commission as missionaries? (mind you some of them prayed but were still killed!) Or why did Paul not backslide because the Lord refused to take away the thorn? For consider him (Jesus) that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? ... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
urahara:Correct me here, since Apes have a wider canal, and some evolutionists claim that's where man came from, why then do women have a narrower canal? That looks like a reversal not a progression! |
quindebbie:Well the sentence, "he that seeketh findeth" was used in relation to prayer. Remember when Abraham's servant went to look for a wife for Isaac? He prayed first and then was sensitive not to her beauty but to what (in the primitiveness of revelation and faith) signs he believed will indicate. Besides it had to be among Abraham's people (genuine people of faith by application). When you go down to Samuel seeking for a new king (after Prayer of course), you see that there were no signs given to God by Samuel, Samuel had to be sensitive to God's voice (not a predescribed fleece/sign). I believe you can glean the answer from the above. |

oglalasioux:" Wit recent documents uncovered for the Maoist and Stalinist regimes, it now seems the high end of estimates of 250 million dead (between 1900-1987) are closer to the mark. The Stalinist purges produced 61 million dead and Mao ... produced 70 million casualties...number does not include the countless dead in their wars of outward aggression waged in the name of the purity of atheism's world view...(The Atheist Bible) Also Khmer Rouge movement in cambodia was responsible for close to 3m deaths by execution and starvation!. 1. The Jews killed everyone on their path from Egypt to the so called promise land.Grievous charges those! The first was Amalek, read who attacked first. 2. The movement of Jesus Christ after 70AD incited wars and terrorism in the middle east till the times of Islam.Pls indicate ANY part of the Gospel/biography of Christ that incites to violence and you may want to show how the apostles obeyed that. 4. The crusades killed millions in the middle east in the name of 'our lord'.When a group claims to act on a basis, equity demands that we objectively study the basis before making a judgement. 6. The inquisition in Europe killed millions including scientists whose works helped to make I and you chat on the internet today.reply here is the same as that given in 2 & 4 7. Religion played a major part in the two world wars. (the Muslims asked Hitler to murder 6 million Jews).grievous charges left to be proven. Interesting that you claim Hitler was acting on assignment and was even given a number!!! 10. Last week, Muslims started killing themselves in Zaria Kaduna state.They were killed by soldiers after the latter claimed they attacked first. It's Army against sect, not sect against sect. |

That samual is definitely a very young boy. How come a Liberian boy in 1873 has an english name? His parents must have been converted first through torture or any other means as stated in the post. Or his parents were among those who returned from the arch life of slavery in the belly of the beast called america.
