What's today? Thoughtlessness Pride day? I just accused u of being thoughtless and naturally I expected u to exude more caution and thought in your reply to me instead this is what I get: a confirmation that my initial conclusion about u was right.

You do realise atheists also have a collective disdain for religion as their central theme, right? And they all do not believe in any deity whatsoever. So remind me what point you were trying to make by that stupid reply.

Let your next reply to me be more measured and show you have start applying thought to your comments. Here's a method that should help u; don't post the first thing that comes to your mind. Think first. Then just before you post it, think again. Cheers

no. History is very important in the build up to the present.
The historical background of the Israelites is very important in our understanding of the build up to grace.

@superhumanist,

Have you heard of "the Satanic Bible" and "the Liber Azerate"?!!!

THE SATANIC BIBLE:........................................."Blessed are the destroyers of false hope, for they are the true Messiahs"

LIBER AZERATE:..............................................."Do what you must to silence liars and the lies they preach"

Christ. Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus. That "man" stands against every single thing you have on Christ-ianity. Christ-ians are people that want to be like Christ, that strive to be like Christ. Christ is our standard.

I don't want to speak about the mosaic law because ive done so severally.
There are things called laws and dispensations in scriptures. To know what dispensation we are not, you can refer to Romans 8:2.

But show me where Christ rejected or killed people. We can tell who really is a christ-ian.

What goes on in village churches is not as important as what Christ stood for. Most traditional converts still hold tight their native beliefs and they still engage in heinous acts. I know many so called Christians who still engage in traditional rituals till date. Thanks to Mary slessor, the killing of twins for instance was normal in some parts of traditional religion. Twins were considered evil. I am against several unbiblical acts by Christians. Many of the foreign countries that have more number of religious persons than Nigeria do not engage in these acts. What do we say to that.

Ive forgotten, please who said so?
And why did Paul do otherwise in Acts 19:19.

If you must talk, please put your brains to use.


Sir, witch killing was done in Europe and America in the past by christians. Blaming such evil actions on African traditional religion is not fair. Be honest and admit that christians can do evil as well.

You can't just dismiss the old testament when you like it. The verses are there. I blame christianity for some backwards mentality we Nigerians have.

Atheists have been more evil. Read my threads for facts.

Point is Christ is our standard and Christ was not evil. And so we can judge anyone who claimed to want to be like Christ if really he is acting Christ-like.

No one is dismissing the Old Testament. It's an important part of the scriptures. Christ-ian's are bounded by a law. I referred you to Romans 8:2.

Paul excercised this law in Acts 19:19.

The Old Testament is necessary to understand the coming of Jesus Christ. I'm not a Hebrew neither am I a Jew. I am a Christ-ian. Christ-like? How difficult is this for you or do you just not want to accept the fact that CHRIST WAS perfect? grin.

has anyone here bothered to read up romans 8:2.
Only then will you understand why Jesus stood in the way of religious zealots who were ready to stone an adulterous woman. I think the Christians of today can be judged with the life of Christ.

Sir, you have to be honest to yourself. You can't be judging that people are no longer christians because they do bad things. No one is truly christ-like. Do you not read your bible?

1 John 1:8-10 If we go around bragging, “We have no sin,” then we are fooling ourselves and are strangers to the truth.


To say that Christ is christians' standard is to say that christians have no universal standard because there are different versions of christ. Some christians say that Jesus is the son of God. Some christians say that Jesus is just a prophet.

Your quote doesn't make sense.

Who are Christians? Christians are followers of Christ's teachings. So if your belief is contrary to Christ's teaching then you're obviously not a Christian.

That is the problem. Christians do not agree on Christ's teachings. Some say that Jesus was a rich man, some say that he was poor. Some say that Jesus is a prophet, some say that he is God. etc

The dirty tactics some of you desperately stoop so low just to win a petty argument on the internet is sickening.

Please look at Luke 19:11 (you just posted 19:27). That was a parable Jesus told where the king in the story ordered for his enemies to be brought before him and killed. Now you directly purport that quote to Jesus himself; as if he ordered Christians to kill their enemies.

Whether you even believe he existed or not, why desperately try to ruin the name of a good person by twisting the truth? In fact, forget about these arguments on Nairaland, in modern times, people who do what you did to others could end up behind bars, or pay charges till they're abjectly bankrupt, just so you know how disgustingly low your actions here are. Maybe you didn't know it was a parable you quoted, maybe you didn't even care. So do you just blindly support anything out there that is against religion no matter how false and dishonest it is? How does that differentiate you from the people you come here to criticise everyday? The hypocrisy is too much. This is why it's hard to take some of you seriously. I acknowledge the atheists here who actually argue genuinely, but people like you are just low and pathetic.

Luke 19
11. While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12. He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14. “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15. “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16. “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17. “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18. “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19. “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’ . 20. “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21. I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22. “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23. Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24. “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25. “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26. “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27. But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”
