Is that a landmark? You are just quoting Bible portion you don't understand.

potent5 see this coneheaded structure 😁:
See this late-comer.🤭

Petrallen:


1. The OT was written in Hebrew (and Aramaic). The Hebrew word 'ebed' means slave, servant, bondsman etc.

2. That's patently false... Some western countries like France have been making moves to ban slavery in the 14th century - long before the industrial revolution. Long before industrial revolution, there are have been Christian movements campaigning for the end of slavery. Abolitionists made it loud and clear that the reason why they opposed slavery was due to their religious beliefs - unless perhaps you know better than them. Even with industrial revolution, if the Westerners do not have the conscience to end slavery, they could have found other menial jobs for slaves to do.

Paul said:

Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. (1 Cor. 7:21)

Even though he doesn't have the political power to ban slavery in the modern world, Paul encourages those who can regain their freedom to always do so. Does this look like someone who will encourage slavery? Or look at Jesus Himself. Is His character consistent with someone who will own slaves? See how He treated His disciples, see how He dealt with the Jewish elites (Pharisees, Sadducees etc.) who owned, see how He identify with lowliest of lowlies in the society. Or which of Jesus' apostles owned slaves? Or you think some of them are not rich enough to buy slaves?

It all boils down to this:

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:28)

Jesus' golden rule:

'In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.' Matt. 7:21

This rule, when followed, effectively outlaws slavery and other societal evils

ReubenE:

I wish I can send a voice note, maybe it would be easier for you then.

You are the very embodiment of all the things you accused me of.
If you read to understand, you would have known I was not addressing what the government did with my comment.

You responded to the other poster for declaring southern states as Christian states. In your submission you unfortunately said "the poster should be okay too when they rename indigenous villages of other people in the north to Islamic/fulani ones.
That is you creating a symmetry between someone declaring Cross River a Christian state as a result of the government there replacing a traditional "STATUE" with that of Jesus in a roundabout, and a bunch of terrorists killing, burning, raping and renaming villages of other people in the North.
You see that you're the problem?

I'm afraid you'll still not be patient enough to read and understand the callous, unfortunate symmetry you created.

There are 12 states in the north that practice sharia for over 20 years as official state policy. What does it mean to you?
Why do you suddenly bring up the activities of terrorists renaming villages after killing the people because someone declared Cross River a Christian state, when there are 12 states practicing sharia as official state policy in the North?

There is no symmetry and there will never be a symmetry between someone declaring a state as a Christian state cause of a religious statue and terrorists killing, burning and renaming villages that you brought up in defense.
If you think there is a parallel, then you are a problem to civilization like I said earlier.

Good morning

wirinet:

Christianity and Islam are different sides of the same coin. The only difference is that Islam is 600 years behind Christianity. All the violence and intolerance exhibited by Islam today are the same violence and intolerance exhibited by Christianity in the 1300 to 1800s

beardedboy:

This thread is about Christianity. Abeg leave Muslims out of your mouth.

Some people have made themselves slaves to Western and Arab religion while neglecting and unappreciative of their ancestral religion.
That governor is fvck men! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Fvck that pastor governor

Christianity is not a white man's religion. The early Jews and Christians were brown skinned curly hair and dark eyes.

Have you seen the face of the demon or what you were told to believe.
The bible said Satan is the most beautiful cherub.
Don't you read your bible.

Now, understand psychology and how brainwashing is done.
Satan was painted black. You are a black man.
Jesus was painted white. All of a sudden we have white people. Who is actually white in colour?
White was used to signify purity, dominance, saviour in otherworld as its happening today till you see it for what it is, the white people must continue to dominate and rule over you and you must see them as saviour.

This act was perfected the moment you didn't resist them with their so called trojan gift.
Some countries did and fought them. They used religion and education to lure you and end up taking you to be their slave forever. It will take millions of years to break away from the colonial mentality and it starts from your mindset.
Wonder why you change your accent,,bleach and prefer to eat pizza even though it's unhealthy to your local food?
My dear, you are not escaping anytime soon.
They even appoint your leaders and change them as they desire if they don't follow instructions.
That is how you mean nothing, absolutely nothing in the world scheme of things

Yes. Jesus was black and he was shot for your sins.

The only difference between monotheism and “pagan” religion is that monotheists believe that only their imaginary friend exists while others are fake. Monotheists are actually insane and cause atrocities due to their intolerant beliefs.
And what you wrote is not the reason the Jesus character became a “god”. It was decided at a meeting of fancily dressed Romans deciding and politicking about their own delusions..

GodisStriking:


You only know part of the story actually the Romans did make Jesus into a god but Arianism proceeded the Romans and Jesus was just the Jewish king not God.

DeepSight:


I taya oh.

Horrible fella long time. How u dey.

KnownUnknown:


Arian was a Graeco Roman so Arianism did not preceded the Roman. Jesus never existed talk less of being a king and he was not considered a king.

Efik with their hatred for northern crossriverians.


I hope regionalization comes soon so northern cross river can be independent of EFIK.

Efik and ibibio should form a nation as both migrated from guinea.

Christians I Britain is less than 50% and mainly the ageing population. In the next 20yrs, it will reduce to 25% from the look of things.

Almost all east Asian countries are atheist countries.
Their intelligent quotient is the highest, they are hundreds yrs ahead of even the so called West in human and tech development. What about average life expectancy, they rate the highest.
So what again do you have and boast of?
Almost all you use is made by them.
No worries der nobody recognises you guys except as dumping ground and experimental entity. Dogs are rated and nire valued by those that introduced religion to you than you.

Gistmedia10:
The Cross River Government, led by Governor Bassey Otu, has demolished a historic monolith structure.

Reports indicate that it has been replaced with a statue of Jesus Christ as a shepherd leading his flocks. Additionally, the flag of Israel has been hung on the staff of the statue.

The monolith, known as the Ikom monoliths, is part of a series of volcanic-stone monoliths from the area of Ikom. The Ejagham people are believed to have engraved the monoliths around 200 CE.

The monolith stands between 0.3 and 1.8 metres (1 and 6 feet) high and is laid out in some 30 circles located around Alok in the Ikom area of Cross River State.

This change has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

NaijaCowFarm:
Good job ... monolith is EVIL and we do not celebrate evil.
Let it be asserted that ALL of South-South is for JESUS!!!
