Ken4Christ:
I know the heading will surprise most people but it's the truth. Christianity in itself is not a religion but people have made religion out of it.

Christiani is a living relationship with God the Father through our Lord Jesus.

So, you are not a Christian because you are a member of one denomination or the other.

For you to be a Christian, you must be born again or saved. And salvation is a free gift you get by accepting Jesus into your life and Saviour.

According to Romans 10:9-10, it involves two steps,

1. Believe in your heart that Jesus died for your sins.
2. Confess with your mouth that he is your Lord and Saviour.

And you will be saved.

You can be a member of a local church and not a member of the body of Christ written in heaven.

So, don't think you will make heaven because you belong to a local church.

You must be born again.

Do it now before you surprisingly see yourself in hell after you have left this earth.

Jesus won't take you to heaven, but love will.

If you like confess Jesus from morning till night, but if you don't love your neighbor, you're far from heaven.

Jesus came to teach you how to love

Hitler's family also see him as a saint whose mission is to save the world.

How many of the people criticizing the woman would be happy to receive the brutal treatment given to slaves, or the Jews in the concentration camp?

Who killed King Jaja of opobo and why?

They all see the British monarchy as saints because they benefit from the proceeds of their brutality

USA was also colonized by Britain

But you'll never see USA licking British ass.

Do they participate in commonwealth games or fly their flags for the queen?

Something is wrong with the way Nigeria leaders think

This Nigerian mosquitoe farm owner believes that the enzymes from mosquitoes may have something to do with the cure of HIV AIDS.

Take a listen!

microbes dwelling in the human body. However, one passage really caught my attention: Bryson noted how HIV, the agent behind the AIDS disease, is not transmissible by mosquitoes (page 312). This fact caught me off guard. I had always known that HIV is not spread by mosquitoes but had never questioned why.
Mosquitoes are carriers for several infamous viruses, most notably malaria and dengue fever. In fact, mosquitoes, through mosquito borne diseases, kill more people per year than any other animal. Luckily for humans, the HIV virus is not carried or spread by mosquitoes. Several reasons account for the inability of mosquitoes to transmit HIV.

1. Mosquitoes' Blood-Sucking Mechanism

As Professor Wayne Crans of Rutgers University so nicely puts it "mosquitoes are not flying hypodermic needles." The "snout" of a mosquito, the part that looks like a needle, is actually composed of six mouthparts. Four of these are used to pierce the skin of the person or animal that the mosquito is biting. The other two parts are composed of two tubes. One of the tubes sends saliva into the host and the other sends blood up to the mosquito. This two tube system is one reason why mosquitoes are unable to transmit HIV. Only saliva is injected into humans when a mosquito bites and thus HIV positive blood that a mosquito may have previously ingested is never transmitted to other humans.

2. The HIV virus gets digested in the mosquito's gut

Unlike mosquito borne diseases, HIV is unable to replicate within the mosquito's gut and therefore is broken down. In humans, HIV binds to T cells and begins replicating. No T cells exist inside the mosquito's gut and so the virus has no way of replicating or migrating to the mosquito's salivary glands. HIV particles are therefore digested by the mosquito alongside the actual blood meal. During the digestion process, the HIV particles are "completely destroyed."

3. HIV circulates at low levels in human blood

In order for mosquito-borne diseases to be spread from person to person, the associated virus needs to circulate within the host's blood at sufficient levels. HIV circulates in human blood at a far lower level than would be necessary to create a new infection. If a mosquito were to inject HIV positive blood into a human (which, as evidenced by reasons 1 and 2, is not possible), then it would take a whopping ten million mosquito bites to transmit one unit of HIV. By comparison, people who are HIV positive generally carry no more than ten units of HIV. Accidentally swallowing a mosquito or squashing one cannot lead to HIV infection either. In these situations the mosquito once again carries an insufficient amount of HIV positive blood to cause a new infection.
