Why didn’t he just go to sleep for a couple of days instead of going through the whole “crucifixion” brouhaha?

Where is the “sacrificing his life for us” if he was out and about after 3 days?

Also how did he manage to climb out of his grave deep in the ground, or was that another “miracle”?

SMH.

This is purely ignorance. Sacrifice does not mean you can't get what you Sacrifice back.
Jesus was buried in a tomb, clearly you have not read the scriptures.

SAMBARRY:
there's a difference between being tolerant and stupid.You can be tolerant without allowing anyone disrespect you but Christians don't know when to draw the line thereby enabling the Muslims to be daring in their trespassing

Not resorting to violence is not being stupid rather it is being wise.

Being tolerant mean you don't go about attacking people for their religious belief else how are you different from Islamic terrorists?

Many religions eg Jehovah's Witnesses has from time immemorial teach that Jesus is not God will you begin to attack or call to strifle their free speech?

You will always have people with divergent views from you what to do is to present the evidence of the truth not to take away their free speech or call for violence.

mamaafrik:
shut up .

you are no different from isalmists.

Nigerian Christians need to go into serious apologetics, churches need focus more on that.
That is the only way to resist and push back the growing hostility against Christianity.

UncleAyo:
Why was Deborah kill?

That because islam thrives through violence and lies.
We Christians fight too but not with humans because human beings are under the control of wicked forces.

Will you write the same, if it was a church with similar banner?

yes, Christians should have the right to say Mohammad is not a prophet and Allah is not God.

Ekaka14:
Thank God you are NOT a CHRISTIAN but a "CHRISTIANITY" according to you. Listen, you can hide under your mischievous agenda and make subtle claims but you can't be who you're not ....your hypocritical bloodline is all over your post .
If people are allowed to air their so-called views and malign other faith with a bold banner and gaslight people of other faith to start an uncomfortable and unhealthy conversation with this type of malicious and well calculated banner then you need to answer the question below:
If we were to turn the table and a Church postsca banner that boldly says " Mohammed is NOT a Prophet sent by Allah but a sorcerer, a blaspheme, a phidophile and a man who admitted he doesn't know where he was headed" will the whole of the whole country not be in turmoil by now with Churches being burnt and Christians chased down the streets and hacked down like chickens in certain parts of our Country?...you be the judge.
our collective unity as a people currently tethers dangerously and on the brink of collapse as a result of religious, political and tribal sentiments not to talk of the hunger and suffering that assail Nigerians daily then a mosque less than 1km from where I live decides this nervous peace must be shattered a few days to Christmas 🎄....nonsense!!

It was a typo, I am a christian, the mosque has right to their belief

SAMBARRY:
Christians are not tolerant they're docile and accept every kind of disrespect

Imagine someone hanged a big banner with the inscription ALLAH IS not god and Muhammed is a r@p1st in maiduguri or kano,the whole of that street go catch fire.who no price go buy market by force.even the person who no know when them erect banner wey dey live for the street will not be alive to explain that he has nothing to do with it.

Even Me as a Christian find the attitude of Christians offensive, annoying and disrespectful to the tenets of Christianity and no thanks to the pentecostal ideology of anything goes.

So why should Christians fight because their belief is criticised? Christianity is different from every other religion we don't fight and destroy to defend our faith.
Luke 9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

UncleAyo:
All these fake imported religion have destroy the normal mental processes of a lot of our people.

Know for fact that:

There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no God (or god), there is no Allah, there are no angels, there are no demons, there are no spirits, there is no life after death, juju don't work, there is no eternal judgment, there is no karma, there was no historical Jesus. All those are figment of human imaginations and tools use by a very few some to control the very many others. The earlier you understand and accept these facts as facts, the happier and merrier your life and existence will be.

The religion you're currently claiming is the religion of your parents, if you were born into a different family of another religion (say Hinduism), that is the exact religion you will practice.

You were born without a religion in you, your factory reset has no religion in it. If you were to be a phone and they do factory reset on you today being a phone, there will not be anything found related to religion in your settings, files and file systems anymore; you learn religion only after your birth growing up.


Islam is idolatry and paganism, Christianity aswell is idolatry - All the world religion is idolatry, including all the Abrahamic religion. Holy communion is idolatory, bowing for a stone call Kaaba of the Bedouin tribes is also idolatory. licking of stone at mecca is idolatory, throwing of stone at pilgrimage is idolatory too.

Infact, Illah is what the Arabic call God and not Allah. Allah was one of the gods been worshiped before the invention of Islam. That is why muslims will say something like "la illah illa allahu" meaning Allah is Illah (God). Have you ask yourself why Prophet Mohammed's father who was an idol worshiper and who lived before the invention of islam has Allah in is name Abdullai== Abdu Allah? It is because Allah has been an idol worshiped by paganists before the Prophet received his revelations.

All Abrahamic religion are idolatory, they only package them well and condemn your heritage as evil, whereas, Nigeria was better in terms of morality, honesty and integrity before they brought the foreign religions.

In peace loving, emotional intelligence, love for neighbor, respect for sanctity of life, we are even better than those who brought those religion with primitive leaders whose morality and characters are highly questionable.

can't you see your hypocrisy, you have just spoken against the core belief of some religious on a public space that is suppose to be neutral, I think the authorities should start from you. Nonsense

Why the rant?

UncleAyo:
To the Nigerian Police and all necessary stakeholders,

While individuals and groups have the right to express their beliefs, the content and tone of this banner are provocative and directly challenge the core tenets of the Christian faith. Given the sensitive religious diversity in our society, such a statement has the potential to incite public uproar, disturb communal peace, and cause avoidable tensions between religious groups.

Reasons for Concern:

1. Religious Sensitivity: The message is confrontational and could be seen as an attack on Christian beliefs.

people should be free to criticise and refute religious beliefs and the government but however should not not resort to violence. The mosque has exercised their rights without violence and it is lawful. Almost everyday on nairaland atheists and other non Christian castigate Christianity should they be punished or hushed by the state? No! the state cannot stop peoples opinions else it become tyrannical.

2. Potential for Conflict: Public displays of such messages may provoke strong reactions, leading to unnecessary public disorder or confrontations.

why should there be violence or chaos? Anybody that does so should be arrested.

[quote3. Violation of Neutral Spaces: Public spaces should remain neutral and inclusive, fostering respect for all religious beliefs.[/quote]A mosque is not a neutral space

In light of the above, I respectfully request the following:

1. The immediate removal of the banner to prevent any form of public disturbance.

2. Appropriate measures to ensure similar provocative displays are not erected in the future.

Ensuring peace, harmony, and respect among citizens of different religious affiliations is of utmost importance. I trust that you will take swift action to address this issue and safeguard the public order.

respecting people of other religion does not mean you accept. I am a Christian and I reject any form of harassment on the mosque simply because of their religious beliefs. Everyone, group have right to voice there religious, political, social and economic beliefs and should never lead to violence.

Emmitext89:
I can't disrespect God in any form. And this post isn't meant to downplay his supremacy and sovereignty.
I have observed a lot in this life, and each time, I can't stop asking myself this question. Why do people suffer?. They work hard, they are good, they pray, yet, suffer even more. You pray and it looks like nothing is happening. It gets worse.
Why all these diseases and famines? Why does he allow evil rulers. I'm saying all these with peculiarity to Nigeria where I live.

Sometimes, I am left without any option than to believe those who say God hardly exists.

Why there is suffering on earth
1. God cursed the earth due to Adam's sin.
2. Satan is the god of this world, he controls the kingdoms of this world.
3. Humans are under the control of Satan and so do his will by commiting sin.
4. Ignorance and mismanagement of resources, selfishness and self centeredness lack of love of one's neigbour and rejecting God's commandments and as a result live in sin.

Benbellamor:
When you talk of original design of Marriage, dont use inuendos but a written law, the First written Laws about Marriage was handed over to Moses in the book of Exodus.

Lets read one of the Law handed down to Moses which he commands to the isrealites...

Exodus 21:10 (esv) (kjv)

''If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights''

That is for the old covenant which has ended.

Benbellamor:
God's original design too was that: Man should not be in fear of Animals including ravenous wolves, serpent, Lion & cheetars which Adam lived with for hundreds of years.....but you dare not near such animals today because their orientation has been corrupted, same way the traditional women formerly groomed to support their husbands are fast changing to modern women, feminists etc. [/font]

The original design of marriage was reestablished in the Christianity.

1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Coupled with the fact that you are not loving your wife when you marry another wife apart from her.
Husband should love their wives.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Irrespective of modern way of living the Christian way remains the same because it is rooted in the unchangeable God.

Benbellamor:
then what stops such a man not to pick a second wife? that can give him peace he deserves? we sevrve God to make our lives better, and not to be ruined by adamant nature of some unrepentant woman

marrying more than one wife is not the design of God for marriage.

GreatAchiever1:
If you as a pastor wants to be liked by your female audience, leave out modern controversial topics. Dem go love you. Just started calling out their issues and watch them hate and drag you.

In those days, I think the religious leaders don't usually dwell on those topics because the false modern ideologies wasn't in vogue, hence no need to dwell much on those. But now, that the mainstream media is feeding us with lies about the family unit, one needs to stand up with courage and call it out, otherwise... Well we have already started seeing the result.

It is sad.
These days many professed Christians just go with emotions rather than the scriptures.
One even said that emphasizing scriptural doctrine would hinder the flow of the spirit.This is exactly what the devil wants.

Procashtips:
And was the bible addressing the church too when it said "Men love your wife as Jesus loves the church in that same chapter?

Anyone who can't submit to their spouse is likely building a loveless home.

Submission here doesn't mean slavery or equality but being approachable, teachable and reachable.

How's the attached a bad thing for men to do in their marriage?

You totally vied off, why is it that you equate submission to slavery?

You submit to your boss at work, to your government yet you don't call it slavery why calling submission to our own husband slavery?


Apples and oranges Paul addressed two different relationships in ephesians 5
He addressed the general church relationship and marital relationship.


1 Peter 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

The fact is wives are commanded in the scripture to submit to their husbands and to be in subjection to them following the footsteps of Sara who obeyed Abraham calling him Lord.

Procashtips:
Is your home not a church or do you think houses built with bricks is what represent the church?

There is difference between the relationship between a man and his wife and relationship within the church.
Paul was addressing the later in vs 21.

Pastor Olumide Emmanuel has challenged traditional views on submission within marriage, asserting that it is not exclusively a woman’s responsibility.

Speaking on the topic, he emphasized that Christian marriages should align with kingdom principles rather than cultural expectations.

He urged men to respect their wives’ perspectives and acknowledge the value of their insights, stating that submission is a two-way street.

“Men, I will tell you for free, respect a woman’s sensitivity if you want to do well in life. Ask any married man that will be honest with you—there are things that if we did not listen to our wives, we’d be in trouble by now. And there are times we didn’t listen, and we entered trouble,” he said.

Pastor Emmanuel criticized the cultural mindset that frames men as the sole decision-makers in the household, urging younger individuals not to adopt such attitudes.

“Don’t let Africa kill you with the ‘I’m a man of this house’ mentality. Marriage is not an African culture—it’s a kingdom culture. The Bible says, ‘submitting yourselves one to another.’ Mutual submission is a kingdom agenda for marriage. So, there are times you need to submit to your wife,” he added.

If truly the pastor said that a woman submitting to her husband is born out of culture, it is sad for him. As pastors we should be good stewards who seek to please God not men.
Marriage was ordained by God to reflect the order and relationship between Christ and the church.
Christ loves the church and this love is reflected in his responsibility for the church and he also possesses authority over the church and the way the church response to his love is to submit to his authority and leadership, that is what a Christian marriage is reflect. The man reflect Christ while the woman reflect the church.
Unfortunately many churches are subtlily fallen for the lie of the serpent by trying to reinterpret scriptures to met modern standards by which they are defeated by the enemy.

Ephesians 5 vs 21.

This verse is for the generalchurch not specifically to marriage.

Daejumong:
Divorce is not allowed. If you leave your man, u must remain single -Apostle Paul . Did he contradict the views of Christ? Are these from God or from Paul? Did he consider abuse and adultery in marriage? Was he a poor marriage counsellor? Should divorced pastors who remarry leave the pulpit? Should Baltasar’s pastor follow what Paul said?

1 Cor 7
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife

Paul said this is a revelation from the Lord! He said spouses MUST not divorce. He didn’t allow any reason for divorce. He appeared not to care if the marriage was life threatening and laden with unrepentant adultery! His opinion which he claimed was from God was different from Jesus’ message.

Matt 19
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

This was probably Paul’s idea as God would not contradict himself or what Jesus has said.
Many Christians and top Pastors however divorce and remarry on many grounds apart from adultery and abuse!Are these guys into sin? Does the Bible divorce rules apply to the current church? What would Baltasar’s pastor do now?

daejumong one of the typical feminists who are also anti Paul.

You only seek to misinterpret/reinterpret the scripture to suit woke sociopolitical ideology.
To you the bible was written by misogynistic men to oppress women hence your ilk are trying to undo it.

You are not a Christian, you are only a Christian activist whose sole aim is to change narrative, a willing tool for the new world order and the new world religion.

You are a satanist who although might not be aware, you worship your self and the whatever suits you that is what Satanism is.
I pray you repent before it's too late.

That is Islam for you. One of the big contribution to the woes of Nigeria.

Free2Fly:
Which one is 'It's not physical'?
If the business flourishes, won't the manifestation be physical in terms of money?
Where would the influx of money come from?
People's money would disappear and fly to the person who did the juju, or people will flood the person's shop to buy what they didn't plan to buy?
How many times have you been under a spell to buy what you didn't plan to buy?

You guys should stop spreading things that don't hold water

Juju works by controlling human mind, there are non physical entities (spirits) that influences people's mind to take decisions and even manipulate natural order.

SECULAR MUSIC LISTENERS HAVE A SPECIAL DEPARTMENT IN HELL

Secular music genres like Hip-hop, pop, rock, Afrobeat, reggae, dancehall and the rest are from the kingdom of satan.
The vast majority of the music artists are into the occult and they have offered blood sacrifices to satan.

Listen only to Christian music

Secular music promotes profanity, sexual immorality and violence.

Those that have had divine revelations of hell claim that satan has created a special department in hell for those that listen to his music.

Please download the Progeny of Lucifer @
www.progenyoflucifer.org

Satan doesn't have power to cast people in hell neither to torment them.
Satan's powers end in this world, beyond this world he has no power whatsoever.

The beast is a man that would be aided by Satan (the dragon) to take over the world.
The False prophet is the other beast that rise from the earth, he plays the role of a religious figure to decieve the world.
The beast from the earth is a religious leader
The beast from the sea is a political leader
The dragon is the god of this world that empowers both of them to fulfill his desire.

That is a cult.

Reason I support abortion rather than this mess

It is the same thing, abortion is murder.

be in heaven without this Heb 12:14  Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Where in the scripture does it tell you to follow peace with all men in other to be in heaven?

annyplenty:
how can you achieve the bolded?

How can you achieve what?

annyplenty:
Ok, let me rephrase your the question using the exact same word you first used that The reason to make restitution is to make peace with men. Now I am asking that if you did not make peace with men, will you be in heaven, also using your word, since you don't want me to use the phrase, make heaven?

I have answered you question, the reason of making restution is not to *make* *be* in heaven but to be at peace with men even if you are not at peace with men provided you are saved you will still *make* *be* in heaven.

Upon all she still failed.

annyplenty:
so if you did not make peace with men, will you make heaven?

Heaven is not what you make, it is the place where all who are saved by Jesus are or will be and it is not dependent on making peace with men.

Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

The importance is to live with peace with men and not to "make heaven"

Also see
1 Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

The same reason believers are to pray with rulers in other to live peaceably, it is not a requirement to make heaven but to live in this world.
