What Is Religion?

can you define it? from my views religion is just a waste of time though i belive there is a God watching over ustell me your views?

Christianity is a family affair. That's why we start our prayers saying "Our Father, " That said, men have made a religion out of it through administrative means. By my understanding, religion is an organised system with laid down rules and observations designed to make you pleasing to God.Christianity on the other hand, is accepting that God is pleased with you through His son Jesus and all you need do is accept His gifts and become a member of His family.

The Nine Satanic Statements

1\\. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence! 2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams! 3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit! 4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates! 5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek! 6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires! 7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his adivine spiritual and intellectual development,a has become the most vicious animal of all! 8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification! 9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!

Is Any Nigerian Fooled By Pastor With 666 Tattoo Claiming To Be Divine

But Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda is not your typical minister. De Jesus, or "Daddy" as his thousands of followers call him, does not merely pray to God: He says he is God. "The spirit that is in me is the same spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth," de Jesus says. De Jesus' claims of divinity have angered Christian leaders, who say he is a fake. Religious experts say he may be something much more dangerous, a cult leader who really believes he is God. (Watch followers get 666 tattoos for their leader ) "He's in their heads, he's inside the heads of those people," says Prof. Daniel Alvarez, a religion expert at Florida International University who has debated some of de Jesus' followers. Doing God's work with a Lexus and Rolex If Creciendo en Gracia is an atypical religious group, de Jesus also does not fit the mold of the average church leader. De Jesus flouts traditional vows of poverty. He says he has a church-paid salary of $136,000 but lives more lavishly than that. During an interview, he showed off a diamond-encrusted Rolex to a CNN crew and said he has three just like them. He travels in armored Lexuses and BMWs, he says, for his safety. All are gifts from his devoted followers. And what about the tattoo of 666 on his arm? Although it's a number usually associated with Satan, not the son of God, de Jesus says that 666 and the Antichrist are, like him, misunderstood. The Antichrist is not the devil, de Jesus tells his congregation; he's the being who replaces Jesus on Earth

I think the anti-Christ now walks amongst us. It seems the end ISN'T JUST NEAR but IS HERE. Lord Jesus, SOS. Amen.

God Or No God? Who Cares And What Does It Really Matter?

'You believe in God; that's fine. I don't; and that's OK too.'We've all heard it said. It's non-judgmental; tolerant; pluralistic. But it's also desperately superficial; and not very logical. But the big question remains? IS THERE REALLY A GOD?

Have you heard the word perspective before? Forget belief,take those scriptures to English experts who are atheist and ask them to please explain those writings to you as per literature.If you need help with locating some, I will gladly forward addresses of some guys in OXFORD and CAMBRIDGE. From your writings, I want to believe you are not just educated but educated to high level, please let these reflect in your expressions.Tanxx

What Do You All Think Would Be Going Across Her Mind When She Saw My Friend?

There's this woman that has warned my friend's mum never to call her phone nor come over to her house just cause she's lives in a big house, so recently her husband went to court and she was sent out of the house without her car and she basically went out with nothing more than the old car she's been driving for years and just yesterday, she drove past my friend's house and my friend saw her and she saw my friend. And she claims she would like to reconcile with my friend's mum but she claims she's too embarassed to do so and even claimed one time she can't do it almost like she's too proud to call first and apologize.What do you all think would be going across her mind?

The question raised here is a misfit for this section. Should be moved to a section where it can fit in well or the question be re arranged to fit in here.

Does Family Planning Contravene God's Injunction That We Should Multiply : ?

Do you think that birth control contravenes the Word of God that we should be fruitful and multiply the earth? Critics contend that the world is overpopulated, the earth is strained of its resources, and having many kids is a sure route to poverty. Defenders of the Biblical injunction blame mankind (who practise birth control) for not having faith in God for providing for His children. A lady appeared on a talk show program some days ago, and when she was questioned, she told Oprah that she does not practise birth control. But what amazed me was that (I think), she told Oprah that the last time she was pregnant was about 3 years ago. I have always thought that as long a a woman was fertile and sexually active, then pregnancy would occur, but I learnt yesterday, that there are certain months that are quite unfavorable for the development of the embryo. That's not the point I am trying to raise though, but my question is if birth control (and I dont mean abortion, or any contraceptives that endangers the livelihood of the zygote), like the rhythm method, family planning, etc, goes against the Word of God? Part of Africa's poverty is linked to the number of children that parents have, but - - -

Beer Is Better Than Jesus.

Here i have my reasons why and why BEER is far more better than JESUS with strong proofs. . . .1. No one will kill you for not drinking Beer.2. Beer doesn't tell you how to have sex.3. Beer has never caused a major war.4. They don't force Beer on minors who can't think for themselves.5. When you have a Beer, you don't knock on people's doors trying to give it away.6. Nobody's ever been burned at the stake, hanged, or tortured over his brand of Beer.7. You don't have to wait 2000+ years for a second Beer.8. There are laws saying Beer labels can't lie to you.9. You can prove you have a Beer.10. If you've devoted your life to Beer, there are groups to help you stop.

The African Origin Of Amen/amin

In ancient Egypt, Amn or Amun was the Deity of the Upper Nile. The name was revered as far as ancient Rome, where Egyptian temples where highly regarded. Some Egyptian Pharoahs were named afterAmn, e.g. Tutankhamen and Amenhotep, similar to the Yoruba style of naming after the God of thunder and lightning; Sango: Sangowawa, Sangotosun.It may shock some of us that the whole world is trying to invoke an African God when the say Amen or Amin.

more like a Semitic term, imo.

Theology And Teleology

What are the differences and/or similarities between Theology and Teleology?

The thing I called nonsense was exegesis (not teleology or theology). By the way, if you disagree it is nonsense, why don't you make a case for that.

Christianity Is Wicked Rubbish

As kids we were asked to surrender our lives to Jesus and allow him to take over. The funny thing is jesus would never come directly to you and tell you what he expects from you. There would always be a charlatan who steps in on behalf of god and says l am god's messenger and l have a message for you from god. What a convenient way to enslave minds and prey on the vulnerable ! These pseudo servants of god are the greatest slave owners ever to walk on this planet. How dare they lie to kids that if they fail to love this monstrous being called god they will burn in hell for eternity ? How dare they tell kids that when it comes to issues of god reason and logic ought not to be used ? I will never forgive christianity for enslaving my mind when l was still young and vulnerable. CHRISTIANITY IS WICKED RUBBISH !!!

Did jesus say that he came to save ONLY the lost sheep of Israel and warn his disciples not to preach to the gentiles and Samaritans about the coming kingdom of god that was at hand? YES he did according to the bible. . .Did any of the writers of the gospel say that they know jesus or have ever meet him in any of their narratives. . NO they did not. . .Were the gospels about Jesus written long after he died by unknown people. . .YES. . .why did Jesus ask His disciples to Go into the WORLD to preach the gospel?

The Ongoing Africa-wide Crusades Of Deeper Life Church

Since 2005 The Deeper Life Bible Church has been holding a quartely crusade across Nigeria and recently, in 2 west African countries.These Crusades are transmitted through satelite to hundreds of locations all across Africa, Europe and America.Have seen any of these crusades? Whats your view about them? Let's share.

@TayoDI don't follow the Crowd. The Church much as I respect it is not heaven or God. I know who I beleive. It is not all that attend that church that will go to heaven. so I am not concerned about even the pastor of the Church is found in Fornication. Does that make it Right. I know people that living in sin and are church leaders the judgment on them will be severe. I am not concerned about titles but i respect them as human being and BIG IF we do err, BUT WE ARE NOT TO CONTINUE IN SIN.IF THEY WATCH TV THAT IS THERE OWN PERSUASION I WILL NOT ALLOW MY SON TO WATCH TV SIMPLE AND SHORT.

Scared Of Living Where You Do?

I am American and I love my country, I however feel very sad for everyone who lives here because all of the parables about rich men and poverty lead us to believe that this country is far too rich for it's own good. Now we all live here comfortably and the deomocracy is just great, .But it's difficult to think day to day that just being here and living a normal American life has Christ frowing over me. I grew up in a [techinically] one bedroom house with my parents, older brother and eventually little brother. Neither parent went to college and got married early so life was tough and we barely got by, but this would be such a blessing to anyone from a 3rd world country. Just knowing that even as a lower class citizen in the US, a person may also be a rich man in God's eyes.Does anyone else even think about such things? What are your opinions? My only comfort is my dream to visit other countries during the coarse of my life, countries with less and spend time among their simplicity and pureity. Maybe to do some good, to make some friends, to learn new things. Anyway, feedback please.

Are you saying Jesus wouldn't be able to live in America?

Proverbs 20:30 - "Physical Beating Cleanses Away Evil. . ."

Greetings to everyone in da house, I came across this passage last nite and i must say its been really disturbing hence i felt to seek better clarities here from christians. This is what the passage says: NLT bible Proverbs 20:30- " **Physical punishment** cleanses away evil; such discipline purifies the heart. "NLT NIV bible Proverbs 20:30- " **Blows and wounds** cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. NIV What exactly is the bible trying to say here, could it mean that "there is a pact of casting demons and evil spirits that involved the use of wipes" I appreciate all topic related contributions.

Pastor tonye were have you been? Where were you when your partner in crime Pastor Agbaje was being exposed and given a thorough dressing down, you should have been around to at least give him some unscriptural/ twisted back ups the heat on him was soo much that he had to harrass the moderators to give him some respite, but i am sure he has learnta lesson or two now.To your question, the problem is that most baby christians like you tend to spiritualize everything you read in the bible which should not always be the case. You have to read each scripture within the context it is siituated. Proverbs for one is just a collection of wise sayings mostly written by King Solomon and most of what is written there are not necessarily spiritual or instructions from God. Once you get the context within Solomon was writing the passage you would begin to get a clearer picture. As the name of the book implies [proverbs] the scripture you quoted is merely a proverb which would be best understood within the cultural setting of the people that used the proverb. For instance a yoruba proverb might loose it's meaning if translated to english and even if it doesn't an english man might not understand tit even after translation cos he is not familiar with the culture the proverb emanated from. Hope this helps

This Guy Must Be Banned!

I have read two threads created by a deluded wannabe atheist who goes by the id- g1, and found them highly offensive to the sensibilities of both Christians and Muslims and wish for him to be banned on this section.The offending threads are:Was Jesus Gay? And was Mohammed A s-e-x maniac?A love story between Jesus and Moh'd: Part 1What do you think?

I wonder why anyone finds this offensive. Its so laughable we ought feel sorry for the person who wrote it. Poor immature attempt at humor and obviously a desire for attention. I wonder what the world is coming to - Christians who don't know who Christ is, Muslims who believe Islam means peace and now Atheists (the supposed last bastion of rationality) are allowing simpletons and dolts into their ranks. Sign of the times - idiots are taking over

You need training and mentoring.Life Theological School Ikorodu is good.West African Theological School at Iyana PAJA is great because it is affiliated to UNN NSUKKA.

Gender Separation In The Church Of God?

Should males be separated from females in the church of christ in terms of sitting arrangements?No gain-saying about the fact that, some churches practise this act by allowing the men on a single row and the females on another, while others don't care about gender separation. Some felt it's old- skool while others, hypocrisy. So lets weigh this on a scale of opinion.

Legalising Abortion In Nigeria

The Nigerian Government is on gear to liberalize abortion again ,which efforts of society of gynecologists and gynecologists failed in 1982 in a bill sent to the National assembly to put to Law.Please our dear country does not have the supporting economic condition.Its abominable and a taboo in the African culture.Their RIGHTS were also enshrined in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Right in 1948.The Old Testament heartly declares that conception is a gift from God.

I was not born by mistake but for a purpose and neither were you too.Though truth is bitter it must be told.No religion preaches nor promote it but if it must be done to safe live it becomes pertinent and sponteneous to do it.

Dreams

I told my church friends I have no dreams or I never recall them when i wake up and they said I need deliverance since it is not a good thing. I used to have nightmares when I was young so I specifically prayed against dreams.Is it wrong not to dream?I'm sure God communicates with us in different ways

So are dreams supposed to mean something?? I know they say dreaming about a dead person is bad.

Jesus' Greatest And Repugnant Innovations

The majority of JC teaching would hardly have been considered unique by his contemporaries. Where he made ethical pronouncements he was usually very far off the mark (as in turn the other check, chop off bodily parts for sins, not taking care of the morrow) and has been unsurprising ignored.His doctrine of "loving your neighbour" is lifted from Leviticus and had also been pronounced by greater thinker than him many hundreds of years before. Almost every fundamental aspect of the teachings unique to him are being ignored by his followers today. Why they call themselves Christian is beyond me.However, Jesus' most last and indelible legacy to posterity has been the doctrine of hell as a place of eternal torment and punishment. I would like to suggest that since this is the most significant of JC teachings, maybe followers of JC should call themselves Hellians instead of Christians.In fact, as of today, I shall start referring to the all followers of JC as Hellians.The second of JC greatest innovation was a intense dislike for wealth and progress as evidence in "the eye of a needle" comment, and Luke 14: 33. Just as well this is is largely ignored by his followers.

I would have liked to have seen a constructive contribution to the post rather than throw insults at me. Have you got the the intellectual ability to refute the points I raised?But Huxley, I've pointed out that Zoroaster preached about hell long before Jesus Christ so it can't be an innovation. You made no response.Also the Stoics had a similar attitude to wealth and they preceded Jesus christ too. what do you have to say about these?

Miracles And Faith Acts - Should They Always Be Accompanied By Seeds/offerings?

[b]I Strongly believe in God Almighty, Jesus Christ his only Son our Saviour and the Holy Spirit, Amen! But I have a Dilemma here, I would like genuine and true Christian Brothers/Sisters to please, help if you can. Also, as a democrat, I welcome every opinion - no matter how negative. You see, some Religious Ministries that claims Miracles and Prophesies these days seems to worry me a lot with their attitudes towards money. They Prophesy a lot of things that are yet to be manifested and at the same token make requests of seeds sowing and offerings into the Ministry. Personally, I do not consider it wrong in sowing seeds and giving thanks Offerings to God's Words the best you can, as God has given his Authority to this in Corinthians ? Ch.v 'To give generously and according to our abilities'. (Sorry, can't remember the chapter right now!) However, my confusion here is sometimes, they hint on how much one should sow or openly request a particular amount of money to be sowed, why? Is this appropriate for a God's Ministry to do so or, If so, is it the Will of God they request Seeds and Offerings from almost every prayer need (one has), Prophesy and it's accompanying Faith Acts in honour of God's Words? To make these request seem appropriate, they go on to justify them with a quote from the Bible "One must not come to God with Empty hands". Please, educate me here as I am considering backing off the whole idea of joining a Ministry but please, don't suggest any Ministry either as I know the Holy Spirit will lead here. Thanks in anticipation![/b]

@breinYou are a liar, Jesus NEVER emphasized offerings, tithes and seed sowing. His only emphasis was giving to the poor and the needy and it is crooked pastors that are twisting his word to get the flock to give to them instead.

Whose Track Record Is This?

1) First he carelessly create a world in which he ensure there is the capability to sin.2) Some beings in heaven exploit this weakness that god designed in his creation and started sinning like hell.3) He gets mad at these beings and he kicks them out of heaven, rather than squashing them and their sin dead once and for all.4) He sends then out of heaven into the space of the universe, knowing that these sinful beings are going to one day torment the beloved creatures that he planned to create.5) Then he create his beloved humans in this hostile environment replete with the possibility and temptation of sin.6) He does not give these humans the ultimate resistance to fight off sin, but makes them vulnerable to sin.7) As weak as they are, these humans succumb to the inevitable, and they sin.8.) What he expect? Did he know that they were gonna sin?9) He gets angry and punishes them10) Humans carry on sinning like hell11) He wipes out the entire population of Sodom & Gomorah, hoping to wipe out sin in these places, but fails miserably12) Humans carry on sinning like hell.13) In his wisdom, he decides to wipe out the ENTIRE population of the earth save Noah's and his family (less than 20 people in total).14) Starts a brand new generation of people with Noah and his family, dumbskulledly thinking that this time he had dealt with sin for good.15) Guess what - he still has not deal with sin, and sin returns as if nothing at all had happened.16) To this day, we are here still sinning away like we are in hell.[size=18pt]Is this not the track record of a bumbling incompetent fart?[/size]

Earth Geography According To The Devil And Jesus. Please, Give Marks Out Of 10.

What would have been Jesus's and the devil's knowledge of the geography of the planet earth? I say, pretty NIL.You remember the bit where the devil is supposed to have taken Jesus up a mountain and "showed Jesus the whole world". Ignoring the sheer absurdity of a devil taking a god ( possibly hand-in-hand), let's just dwell on the physicality of the narrative.Why did the devil not show Jesus the entire world from their initial standing position? Presumably, these beings have supernatural powers, so they should have been able to see the whole world from a plain, or a boat/ship on the sea of Galilee, or from a synagogue, or an inn.Now, because they could not see the entire world from these low-lying locations, the devil had to take Jesus up a mountain to show him the whole world. But is it possible to see the whole world, even from the top of the highest mountain if the world is spherical? I submit, absolutely NO.These supernatural beings thought not only that the earth was flat, but also that the Middle East/Near East constituted the entire world. There would have had no idea about Nigeria and the Igbo, Yorubas - no idea about Japan, Mongolia, Australia, Alaska, the native South Americans, etc, etc.You see, this narrative only makes sense in a relatively small and flat world.

Mourners Seek Damages Over 'drunk' Pastor

[size=14pt]Swedish mourners seek damages over 'drunk' pastor[/size]A Swedish family has asked for damages of nearly 30,000 euros after a Protestant pastor performed a funeral service apparently "drunk", the influential Church of Sweden said Friday. The pastor also raised eyebrows when he kissed the hand of the deceased's daughter and gave an exaggerated hug to the 20-year-old granddaughter, the family said in a letter to the former state church which AFP saw."Everything seemed to go perfectly well until this pastor came in mumbling for 30 minutes," the family said, complaining that he had alcohol on his breath. "Nobody, among his servers or in the audience, understood what he was saying.""The first thing we will now remember thinking about our loved one is the drunk pastor," they added.Apart from the 300,000 kronor (29,250 euros, 42,700 dollars) the family also asked for a refund of the funeral expenses.The Church of Sweden which ceased to be a state church in 2000 confirmed to AFP that it had received the complaint, saying the issue was being investigated.SOURCE: Click here

I'm sure that pastor must be a preacher of 'drink and don't get drunk'. So much for drinking responsibly. Proverbs 20v1

What Equals 100% In Life?

What equals 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T You V W X Y Z Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. If: H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K 8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98% And: K-N-O- W-L-E- D-G-E 11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96% But: ATTITUDE 1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100% THEN, look how far the love of God will take you: L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D 12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101% Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top! It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just the way I did, Have a nice day & God bless!!

When Shall Jesus Come Again? Paul and Jesus Explain.

Jesus said he was going to come back in the lifetime of his listening audience, as in Mark 9: 1,And Jesus was saying to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power." Mark 13: 30,Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. John 21: 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Luke 21:32"Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place." Matt 10: 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.As if these failed prophecies were not bad enough, Paul also gets into the act of making predictions about Jesus's coming, as in;1 Thessalonians 415For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. It has been nearly 2000 years since these prediction were made. Has any of it come true?

Cosmic Finger Prints: The Deist War Part 2

Let's take the Deist Discourse now to Numbers: and we won't be letting up until the motley gang of NL Atheists ACCEPT that Atheism is far more improbable than Theism. I got this off the Net (i have modified it a bit to crystalize the point) - Consider the following sentence:"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"What are the chances of that sentence occurring by randomchance?It's easy to find the answer. It has 43 letters and spaces.Excluding things like apostrophes and semicolons and numbers,there are 26 upper case letters and 26 lower case letters tochoose from. So there are 52 to the power of 43 possiblecombinations of letters.52^43 = 6.139652A10^73Which means the chances of this sentence occurring randomly are1 chance in61,396,520,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.This is the probability of just this sentence, not to talk about the probability of an entire developed human society.NOTE: There are more than 10^200,000 possible code combinations in the DNA ofthe simplest known micro-organism in the world, Nanoarchaeum.Bur there are only 10^80 particles in the universe!By Perry Marshall

Only If We Know,we Would Sing His Praises.

As we travel down lifeas busy road Complaining of our heavy loads,We often think Godas been unfairAnd gave us much more than our shareOf little daily irritationsAnd disappointing tribulations We thought HE is not kindOnly if we know,we would sing HIS praises. Weare discontented with our lotsAnd all the bad breaks that we got, We count our losses not our gains,And remember only tears and pain.The good things we forget completely, Only if we know,we would sing HIS praises.Our troubles fill our every thoughts, We dwell upon the goals we sought;And wrapped up in our own despair,We have no time to see or shareOthers load that far outweighsOur little problems and dismays Only if we know,we would sing HIS praisesAnd so we walk with heads held low, And little do we guess or knowThat someone near us on lifeas streetIs burdened deeply with defeat And more strains than oursHow much do we care, All our attention is on ourselves,Only if we know,we would sing HIS praises.And if wead but forget our care And stop in sympathy to share, The burden that our brothers carried,Our minds and hearts would be less harried,And we would feel our load was small,In fact, we would see that we carried no load Only if we know,we would sing HIS praises.In all conditions HE is very kind, HE is caring,loving,providing and protectingLittle do we realise because of our expectations But if we could think deeply,see clearlyThen we shall see HIS kindness and loveAnd then we would sing HIS praises I know HE is always for us not against us,soIn all condition HE is worthy to be praiseeeeeeeed,

Sex Is Worship

Your Faith And Your Job

I have a friend in Nigeria that is seriously born again. He has a degree in mechanical engineering and was not able to secure a job on time after youth service but he later got a job with Nigerian breweries and was so happy about it. I asked him whether it's right for a born again to work in a factory where they make alcohol but he replied by saying that he only works in the maintenance dept and that has nothing to do with testing the alcohol they make, besides, Nigerian breweries makes other non alcoholic drinks but he will [b]never ever[/b] work with a tobacco company even if it's the last job on earth. I argued that everything they do in Nigeria breweries is for the good of the company which makes and promotes alcohol so, whether you work as their driver or chemist or chaplain, you have a hand in building the alcohol empire but he disagreed with me. Am I wrong?

The board chairman of Nigerian breweries, Felix Ohiwerei, is a serious born again. In other words, the public face of the largest alcohol producing firm in Nigeria is a born again.I would really love to see him reconcile this.

What Is God's Will?

What is God's Will? Can God have a will that is not actualisable? What else does God have to do to make his will come to pass?Some Christians argue that it was not God's will for Sin and Suffering to enter into his creation. If this was not his will, how did this come about then? If it was not his will, presumably, he would have known that it was not his will. So how can something happen that is against God's will?

Why Are Nigerians Quick To Praise God For Their Ill-gotten Wealth?

I have a friend who thanks and praises God everyday for the period he was employed at NNPC, whilst there, he was able to buy himself a house and other luxuries one can imagine. To be candid, the assets he acquired would probably have taken a diligent and honest employee a lifetime to achieve. My problem is why does he think that was God's doing, why does he believe it was God's intention for him to be in a position where he can corruptly enrich himself. This I find very common amongst Nigerians. We thank God for what the proceeds of corruption and crime have gotten us, what is it that makes us think it's Gods plan? or Could it be ?

Now you may know why naija is importing fuel despite its crude oil deposits and multiple refineries with $billions spent on TAMs- Turn Around Maintanance. Next time you see a queue and/or the high cost of petrol, you have one contributor's address at least.Ink neva dry for my computer wey this story appear for confirmation:FG Opts for Massive Importation of FuelBy Udeme Clement-Ogbuanu, 10.20.2008With the imminent zero production of petroleum products in the country following the state of all the refineries, the Federal Government has decided to embark on massive importation of fuel to prevent scarcity and queues at the filling stations.The gist continues hereIn the abundance of water the fool is thirsty- Bob Marley

Why Do Nigerians (Christians & Muslims) Visit With Fetish Priests?

It bothers me that some Nigerians who claim to worship the supreme God (as Christians or Muslims) also regularly and surreptitiously use the services of fetish priests. As far as I know and from talking to a couple of religious scholars, my understanding is that worshiping the supreme God as either a Christian or a Muslim should automatically imply that one has forsaken any other deity or avatar. So why then patronise fetish priests? Is it that we do not have believe or enough faith in the supreme God or do we think that we get quicker results this way or are the fetish priests only doers of our evil intentions.Lets have your view, i'm curious.

And guess wat? in the same way Jesus had the life (zoe) of the father in him and was annointed with the Holy Ghost and power, so does the christian. As he is, so are we in this world. Anything is possible to him that believeth!Song:Halelujah Jesus conquered the world,Halelujah satan u are in trouble,the Lord reigneth in my life today. . .

Religious Violence And Free Speech

Just thinking, In recent times we've seen the spate of religious intolerance across the globe and we are left wondering what has happened to the question of free speech. Is the violence resulting from religious protests (all types) and upheavals warranted at all? How far should free speech be tolerated? Have the recent violence by moslems done any good to convince people that Islam is a peaceful religion? These are some of the questions that beg for answers.Readers are invited to make meaningful inputs to this thread in the hope of achieving a common dialogue across board.4gt_m.

4get_me,You made me think over Weinberg's quote again. You are right that Religion is not the necessary factor for good people to do evil things. Other motives can also make good people do evil things.That does not mean that religion is not one of the most potent motivators for good people to do evil things. One of the main characteristics of the monotheistic revelatory religions is the reliance on faith, i.e. belief based on prior assumptions of truth who are closed from rational and scientific scrutiny. All people undergo the psychological process of dealing with cognitive dissonance. It is a natural human trait to either discard or encapsulate contradictory information instead of changing already held prior conceptions. It takes a conscient effort to take a critical and skeptic stand, as it does not come naturally to humans.Religious thought, by it's reliance on faith, feeds the natural human tendency of dismissing contradictory information. Religion, being one of the main elements that can give people's life purpose, is very resilient to contradictory information, even if the evidence is radically stacked against those [i]truths [/i]of religion.Now concerning those people at Enron and in similar cases, you cannot possibly make the case that they were good. Unless of course that they, by being in support of the Christian Right in the US, are good by definition. Anyway, I enjoy your thoughtful contributions and would be very surprised if you held such primitive beliefs.

Religious Apostasy And The Death Penalty

Most religions protect their status quo jealously, and particularly so the Abrahamic religions. They consider apostasy and blasphemy so vile as to be punishable by death. The bible and the quran have injunctions calling for the killing of their apostates.Should religious apostates be killed? If not, under what grounds should they be spared?

Me I am with mazaje all the way on this one. That is what I have been trying to reconcile for a very long time. It is the same God which they served that the christians do today I see no difference. Someone will tell me that was the old law and now this is the new one makes no sense, dude this guy is God and if I as a mere human being knows that those killings were wrong and totally barbaric I wonder why God could not see it. *shakes his head in wonder* You don't need to reconcile anything - we are waiting to see how atheism (the same atheism) has been any better than this glib joke you guys pretend not to notice. "Killings" - is not a strange word in atheistic history as well: and why have you guys not ceased being human beings on that note?

They are cool, consistent and persistent but are really weird.I like their die hard attitude in preaching it is commendable.Anyway whatever they believe in is up to them, the light has been shown by Jesus so its up to them to follow or not.

Mixed Marriage

Is it worth it to compromise your belief because of love?. I freaked out when my aunt told me this evening that she's getting married come april to a muslim man. Is it theologically right for a good christian? Can you as a christian marry a man or woman that practices another religion even if he/she will allow you to keep your own religion? Remember that the bible said that 'a family that prays together stays together'.How will such a family work if they cannot pray together? besides, what religion will the children that will come after follow?

Women love the man that follows her about on her religion. But never did the word LOVE have any bearing in marital life. Religious leaders only use marriage as a weapon of keeping the faithfuls. Marriage is marriage. Once there is understanding I have no problem with MIXED MARRIAGE.

Do You Believe In Mfm Kind Of Prayers?

hey, i imagine some pips would vex but i find the MFM kind of prayer kind of puzzling, no need to go into details, you sure know what i mean so what do you think about their kind of prayer!

Now tell me why some ignorant people portray a Pure God as violent and bloodthirsty when they hear these violent prayers. Started from the translators and twisters of the Old Testament even till now at the present day. Sad!Even Jesus never prayed like that while he was on earth. If you grow spiritually in life these violent prayers never matter to you because you don't fear death anymore.I believe those kind of prayers are for the fainthearted and for the fearful, those that are not sure of tommorrow or don't see a bright future, those without dreams or who have lost their dreams on the way, those who are insecure and always looking for protection, those without self confidence and strong self spiritually, and for those who have never discovered themselves.One word Know Thyself.

Dealing With Shame (When You've Erred)

Shame according to the New Webster's Dictionary could be defined as a painful emotion aroused by the recognition that one has failed to act, behave or think in accordance with the standards which one accepts as good. Recently a committed brother in church got a sister pregnant though they were engaged to be married. This caused them so much shame and so many negative thoughts came into their minds (like running away and stuff like that) but am so glad they decided to face the shame and scandal the news brought. And today, by the grace of God, the story has faded and life goes on. When we do things that bring shame to God's name, what steps do we take to rectify it and how do we cope with the shame it brings? Have you ever done something you were ashamed of? How did you deal with it? I want the children of God in da house to give counsels and tips on how to deal with shame.

All we need to do is go back to God and he'll completely forgive.

The Black Man & The Bible

Why is the black man scarcely mentioned in the Bible? Were there no black human beings then?

I think the bible makes mention of Ethiopians, Egyptians, and many in Northern Africa.The bible was written by those of Jewish traditions and heritage and therefore focuses on those traditions, and doesn't really acknowledge other important and existing peoples, traiditons, and religions (such as the Yorubas, among many other tribes, ) I've also always maintained the notion that the bible is nothing but a documentation of historical times, and was not inspired by any "holy thing. "

The Fallacious Christian Mathematics

I still wonder and imagine how the Christians resolved at the solution of the concept of TRINITY.Imagine: 1 God+1 God+1 God = 1 God, OR 1+1+1=3. Ahhhh. Even a Nursery school kid should be wiser than committing such fallacy. I still can't imagine how they got the ABRACADABRA law of mathematics. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE FORMULA TO US? The earlier u realize u are not different from common PAGANS that worship more than one god, d better 4 u.Wake up.

White84, that is what the christian story truly is! You just hit it! That is the goodnews! That God became a man to save us!You asked the right question: WHY did he do it? Let me try and simplify it. That is what John 3:16 explains! LOVE is it. The hallmark of Love is sacrifice. God loves us so much he wont stop at nothing to save us, even if it means coming down to save us himself. Remember, he didn't create us as sinners. Man sinned, so it is man that must die as penalty for the sin. Since God cannot die, He found a way of making sure that the penalty for sin is fully paid by man. He decided to come down and be a man!! Isn't that beautiful?Jesus was that sacrifice. Blood has to be spilled for sin to be fully paid for once and for all! Man has tried to appease God by sacrificing animals and all that. But no other blood could have paid for the penalty of sin- it has to be a sinless blood of a man. And how could we have found a sinless man? Impossible, since we all carried that sin trait. It had to be a different genealogy- one without sin. Here comes Jesus. . . Hope it's making sense?

Often times we see things in church that totally conflict with we read in the bible but when you raise the issue, people say stuff like we shouldn't judge etc. I know that's in the bible but Jesus always sounded the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and even Paul blasted Peter when he was being hypocritical and also went further to mention names of people that wronged him in the faith, So what do you think?Can we, should we,

Would anyone else agree that it is much easier for people to forgive others that hurt them than forgive themselves when they hurt other people? Why?

I agree. I myself find it easier to forgive other people than with myself, maybe it has to do with Christ laying down his life for us. You look nice in ur picture.

Christianity And Marriage

I have a question, what constitutes as a marriage in Christianity? What constitutes a marriage in the eyes of God?

Marriage is simply a piece of paper and is meaningless. Commitment to each other is more important and that can be acheievd without obtaining a piece of paper or worshiping a pretend God, Just love and cherish each other

The Spirit & The Dove:why This Ignorant?

The use of DOVE by most churches as an acceptable symbol of the HOLY SPIRIT is very worrisome and misleading.It has become a common feature in most churches logos and sign boards.But come to think of it, HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT REALLY LOOKS?IS IT REALLY A DOVE AS WIDELY SYMBOLISES?, If the HOLYSPIRIT is indeed a DOVE then by implication I think all HUMANS ought to have been DOVES.But are we DOVES

@AkintosI perceive that you are from the sect of the christ embassy.Well the Dove is a symbol and nothing else. Just as the Body that housed Jesus was a symbol that He was Indeed human being so is the Dove a symbol that the Most High Spirit of the Lord is a spirit being.You must know that characteristic of the Dove.Now watch carefully and you can search for yourself.In Genesis we see that The spirit of God moved on the face of the waters now in when the flood had stopped The dove was sent by Noah to MOVE arround to see if the water had subsided.Now do you think God did not have eyes to see that the water had subsided or not? The Dove is a symbol or an embodiment of the character of the Person of the Holy Ghost to man.Dove when provoked will depart from it owner.The holy Ghost is one that will flee from a sinning Christian. There is no amount of begging Unless you come through the son all over again. Then will the Holy Ghost will return.@IdinreteSatan copies the Original and he brings the Theory of the witch craft bird

Persecution Of Muslims In Nigeria

Islam as a way of live by million in Nigeria is being gradually eroded based on the notion that there are terrorist cells in Nigeria. Some innocent clerics and ordinary Muslims had been accused and charged to court recently for acts of terrorism. Could this be a set up in the hands of unpatriotic individual- centered Nigerians bent on inflicting president Gorge Bush egocentric American Patriot Act which distorts reality to Nigeria. Some 200 years ago, Edmund Burke wrote: ''all that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing". Omo iya ni gbogbo wa o.

Is It Right For A Christian To Date Or Marry A Non-christian?

2 Corinthians 6:14 declares, aDo not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?a While this passage does not specifically mention marriage, it most definitely has implications for marriage. The passage goes on to say, aWhat harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive youa (2 Corinthians 6:15-17).

Still waiting for the answer to my questions ,

Christians With Honest, Moral And Intellectual Fibre - Please Answer These.

If there are Christians here on NL that are honest and moral beings with some intellectual fibre, they should have no trouble answering the following questions:1) Why are fossils of rabbits, horses, humans and elephants never found in pre-cambrian rocks?2) Why are there no placental mammals native to the continent of Australia?3) How is fossils fuel such as petroleum, coal, etc manufactured in nature?I challenge our honest and moral Christians on NL to answer these questions. Mind you that some of these Christians have accused some Africans of being anti-intellectuals . So let us see the intellectual response to these questions from the said Christian.

They've been dealt with on the Darwin birthday thread by myself and finally. Enough of your deceitful posturing

How Christians Pray

where did the church going christains learn how to pray by jumbing up and down and binding and casting.at least that was not what christ taught us on how to pray, i want to know where this binding and casting originated from (holy ghost fire, )

@goodguy,am i a christain? NO. why? because as much as i try to live like christ, i find out that i am more human so to speak than he was on earth and some times i fall short of being called christlike. so am not christlike but striving to be one.do i have a bible? i do. have been trying to get the quoran too. just didn't find the one in english.have i read the book of hebrews? oh yes. do i make reference to it? not in my every day life, so i would say no. and which is more importantant the message or the writer? both because the writer may not have been there when jesus whom he seeks to write about was praying, so i ask, where did he get his gist?if jesus had written anything down that would have been a different story, but when you are writing about aproko and yet you have never met aproko, the only question my dear good guy is how did you know? your name na aproko abi aproko na your sister?jesus christ said, if ye must pray, pray then like this - the lords prayer. (and thanks for saying it all over again)so why then do i have to 'jump up and down?'

Do You Think That All Pastors Will Go To Heaven?

Pastors and "anointed " men and women of God are increasing everyday. Based on your close scrutiny of their messages and lifestyles, do you think that all them will make it to heaven on the last day?

oK, that there is a statement that no one should even mess with. No one knows who will go to hell and who will not as we do not know the heart of the very next man to us. Jesus himself said , Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Those verses alone tell us that NOT ALL that SAY they are of God will make it.

Nigerian Pastors And Paranoid Nigerians!

Most Nigerians are Paranoid, I believe because pastors preach about this happening if you do not do this. I believe a pastor should preach about the positive aspects of life which lead people to working to get happy instead of working to get "thy demon off their back". God wants us to know about the good things not about when the earth is goin to cave in. Nigerians having excess passion take these words literally and thats why when a statement having to do with religion or morals sounds weird or too paronoid theres probably a Nigerian in the house. Im not saying that being a christian is bad i am and believ in God but theres a point where its like OK uve gone too far God aint gonna kill u for doing that!!!

Think CONTROL.A paranoid people is easy to control.

Obasanjo Goes To School

Obasanjo back to school to study of thing christian theology,what an idiot,i bet he wants to become a pastor to start duping the people in a diffrent way again.

My dear redsun,Nigeria's problems are bigger than blaming one man - OBJ; which, I feel, is what initially informed this thread.However, when we think of the many problems back home, the point still remains that greed is global; and we are all collectively responsible to advance our lot in what ever economies we find ourselves.Nigeria's case is not hopeless, true. But no matter how much we concern ourselves with what a past leader President opts for with his personal life (be that as it may, corrupt, silly, amusing or plain hilarious), it doesn't affect or advance the destiny of our present existence.
