God. On every banner, on every door, on every sign post. God. On the radios, the TV, the internet. God. In the morning, in the afternoon, at night. God, God, God. Where are you? Shall we pray? What do you get when you mix old Jewish myths with African superstition? Nigerian Pentecostalism. Nigerian Pentecostalism is an offspring of Christianity, nurtured and tutored in the fires of ignorance. It preaches that the Bible is unquestionable, that Jesus died for everyone, but a special 'few' have special access to the heart of God. These 'special' men claim to have special powers. And by these powers, they set themselves up as God's merchants, collecting God's tax on his behalf. Slowly, these men grew great businesses from their hardwork. The ministries grew larger, spanning multiple cities, creating new habits. Church became a regular thing, The Bible's past became today's reality, and every event was viewed and interpreted through the eyes of Moses. As spiritual knowledge grew, academic knowledge lost its luster. The classrooms became meeting places for prayer warriors, Bible knowledge was considered essential to daily living.... Shall we pray? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Belief in Jesus Christ and confess him as your Lord and saviour that you may be saved.tomorrow may be too late. Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. |

JudasNaCarrot: YOU BELIEVE IN A BOOK THAT HAS TALKING ANIMALS, WIZARDS, WITCHES, DEMONS, STICKS TURNING INTO SNAKES, BURNING BUSHES, FOOD FALLING FROM THE SKY, PEOPLE WALKING ON WATER, AND ALL SORTS OF MAGICAL, ABSURD AND PRIMITIVE STORIES, AND YOU SAY THAT ATHEISTS ARE THE ONES THAT NEED HELP? SO BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTY OF NATURE, WE ALL MUST AGREE THAT IT HAS A DESIGNER AND THAT THIS DESIGNER IS THE FAVORITE DEITY OF THE FAMILY YOU WERE BORN INTO (OUT OF ALL THE MILLIONS OF OTHER DEITIES). 2 Likes |

My advice to you.... Find a quiet place...probably the beach,hill,mountain or forest,as in dead quiet. Then think.....did all these natural things around me,the stars,ocean,mountains, trees etc just evolved...began to exist by accident without a master designer? Answer: Surely there is something, some kind of supernatural force somewhere ( You may give it any name to suit you) in charge. If you fail to realise these things and believe in your own personal abilities, then you need help like all Atheist. Atheism is the height of human foolishness. |

JudasNaCarrot: So all these things happened and were created by a Jewish man that came and lived with human beings 2000 years ago according to stories abi? By the way where in the atheist code does it say that everything came about by accident? Am an atheist but I don't believe in that, so what exactly are you trying to say? 1 Like |

Dalam0n:As an Atheist you don't believe in creation.... do you? You believe in that Englishman, Charles Derwin evolution nonsense... same man who called on God he denied his existence to save his soul when he saw death. Whether the Jewish man lived 2000 years ago or not....he's timeless and unchangeable. God "The Creator" is timeless and everlasting. A supreme being that made all things possible.

JudasNaCarrot: SIR, THAT NEVER HAPPENED. STOP MISLEADING YOURSELF. God "The Creator" is timeless and everlasting. A supreme being that made all things possible. SINCE YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS "THE CREATOR" I WOULD LIKE THAT YOU INTRODUCE ME TO "IT". |
| Re: The Christianization Of Nigeria by Dalam0n: 5:56pm On Sep 01, 2018 |
JudasNaCarrot: Why are you telling me what I believe? I don't believe in evolution. I simply disbelief in Gods and also do not subscribe to evolution. I don't know and hold no position to any creation hypothesis that lacks evidence. What do you mean by timeless and unchangeable? Explain timelessness and unchangeable to me pls. |

CAPSLOCKED:Read the Bible with an "open heart" without any prejudices. You know what? I was just like you....I had doubt about the existence of any thing called God. I also used to back up my claims of non existence of God with the reason that things happen they way they happen...because if there is God,why would an infant die,why would there be sufferings, earthquakes, tsunamis, accident....why can't God stop all these things. The answers to all these questions are embedded in the Bible. Don't just read it,study it and make comparison with whatever books or scientific journal and discover the hidden truth. |

spartan117:Saved from what exactly? And how is a dead man gonna save me? I just believe? spartan117:National anthem of Nigerian Christians. Fear and suffering define your religion. spartan117:I do not like conversing with men who died over two thousand years ago. Can I have your own thoughts, or does the Bible hold your mind? 2 Likes |

HappyPagan:Lol since you are "just here to blaspheme" I doubt that sharing My thoughts with you will do any good. What will help your life is if you honestly seek God.A broken heart is usually patient and diligent enough to seek God. Psalms 51:17 . The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. So my prayer for you is that the lord break you,mould you and use you.don't get me wrong. |

Dalam0n:If they had claimed "all these things" were created by a Nigerian from any of it's tribes, I would understand how it could be our religion. It would at least show we have pride in ourselves. But unfortunately, instead of seeking for the kingdom of the gods in our own selves, in a confession of self worthlessness, we'd rather see it in the Jews! |

CAPSLOCKED:Lol I get your point. However the truth (the word) remains the word (truth) whether you belief or not. The fact that I may not belief that planet mars exist doesn't change its existence. To convince me of its existence I have to see it first otherwise anyone can bring up balderdash and present it as truth. This is where faith comes in,faith is the substance of things hoped for, it's the evidence of things unseen. But then again faith is not of this sensual world we live in and access through our five senses, the dimension of faith, some people call it the 4th dimension is a different and more vast world than our sensual realm,our sensual world was as a matter of fact created from the faith world/dimension.the scripture below confirms that. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Now that we know that the evidence of the existence of God lies in the faith dimension, the question is: how can I belief something that lies beyond my mental capacity? I will talk more on that subsequently.... ...continued here: https://www.nairaland.com/4709590/dilenma-unbeliever-how-belief-something |
