It baffles me how humans are trying to unravel the mystery surrounding GOD. People who don't understand the ways of the spirit should stop giving it the interpretation of mortals! GOD is OMNI POTENT, OMNI SCIENT and OMNI PRESENT! HE has established rules and cannot change because a Nigerian does not believe in HIM. In the bible days, the people that built the tower of babel had the same mindset as the OP. We all knew what happened to them and their mindset! There are things beyond human comprehension and the OP and his sympathizers will need spiritual intervention to be able to understand it. Coming to the OP's questions, a million years in the mortal realm is like a flash in the spiritual realm and every occurrence is predetermined according to GOD's purpose not op's purposes! Has op taken time to ask why electricity got to Nigeria when it did. There is always a beginning, a progression and an end to everything. Why did ancient civilization start in Egypt? Why not in Germany or Nigeria? Why do the earth revolve round the sun and not the other way round? Why was op born in Nigeria and not in Ghana? That op does not believe in GOD does not change the fact of HIS DIVINE existence! So op and group, make a conscious effort to be human and allow GOD to be GOD. you can not understand HIS ways because you are not inspired by the Holy Spirit which is a required ingredient! And unless you submit yourself you can not have that inspiration! Op be guided! 2 Likes |

Ahaaaaaa, so u think ur making a point here abi?Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he gave this instructions, go and make discipleship of " every nations "whole world beginning from Jerusalem to the end of the world, didn't gave a specific time hw fast the gospel most reach the whole world but I thing he said that this gospel will be preached to every nation as a testimony to his name-the fact that the gospel took a period of 2, 000 years before reaching Africa is non of your business,your business here is as u receive the gospel share it with another whom hv no hard of it. Don't be so lazy like the Europeans whom hrd received it long time ago and reluctantly kept it to themselves until when they are In need of raw materials.finally who even told you that 2, 000 years is much in the sight of God? don't u read that a thousand year is like just a day in the sight of God? So who are u challenging now God or Man? 2 Likes |

I think the question borders on the existence of God and His proclaimed superiority. Looking at it logically, I think it took a long time for xtianity to be known in Nigeria |

Ur argument wouldav made much more sense if the jews who I knw here in europe and I have interacted believe in christ jesus.. Unfortunately all my jewish friends don't believe in jesus as they feel he's a fraud..if u think I'm lying go and google and confirm.. And then why u calling africans, israelites? WE ARE NOT ISRAELITES..if u told an israelite person he was african,would he be quick to embrace u? We have lost our identity as africans and then we decide to adopt the stories of other 'people'..sad really malvisguy212: 1 Like |

julimax: God has given man the freewill to make decisions and choices . So man is free to choose which camp to belong. That is why you are here today asking questions! God will not force you to serve HIM but you must give account of those choices you made on the judgment day. |

Spreading the message of Lord to the nation those significantly have to do with the years or time. The main point is that salvation have come and we have accepted the salvation of Christ. Right now there are many places that haven't yet receive the message. Perhaps, the bible didn't specify the years that message must Nigeria. He clearly said it till every turning stone heard about the message of christ. |

iamord:'But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewstripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.' If you didn't know but you kept the laws of the land and did good, you will be forgiven. The main purpose of Jesus' coming was to give us God's kingdom for free. John 3:16 'For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.' Ephesians 2:8-9 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works that man may boast.' |

:因为神不偏待人。. Romans 2vs12-14 12 KJV:For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; ESV:For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. NIV:All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. AMP:All who have sinned without the Law will also perish without [regard to] the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged and condemned by the Law. 4 KJV:For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: ESV:For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. NIVIndeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 1 Like |

sulymanlt:The god of quran that claimed to trick(lied!) christians to believe Jesus was killed? He even said they said 'we have killed 'Christ' when the Jews never accepted him as Christ! He hid this truth from all for over 600yrs! before revealing to a murderer, who fùcks underage girls and even promised eternal virgins in the heaven of his gods. How long shall it take you to know that every word claimed to have been spoken by ällah was manufactured by his false prophet? 1 Like |
