CanadaOrBust: You need to go research your Christianity and stop spreading what your pastor has told you in error. A little history of Christianity.................... By 5000 BC, the ancient Egyptian spiritual system already had a virgin born, resurrected , son of God called Horus. This belief system got copied all over the world. In nearby Palestine -now called Israel- it became Jeudaism, in India it became Bhudaism and Hinduism, in Greece it became the worship of virgin born, resurrected, son of God called Dyonysius, in Rome it became the worship of virgin born, resurrected,, son of God called Mithra. And many other religions, too many to list. About 1-30 AD, a sect emerged from Jeudaism called Gnostics. These were genuine Christians. They believed in another virgin born, resurrected, son of God called Jashua. However, like all the other resurrected Gods, it wasn't meant to be understood as a physical resurrection because it didn't happen. This means there were no hierachy. Everybody was equal. When you hear Rome killing Christians, it was the Gnostics, not Christians because they were no Christianity yet. However, Europeans called them CHRISTIANS, which was a derogatory name because they were willing to die at any moment for what they believed. Rome killed them in thousands per day. But the religion kept spreading in same way boko haram or any other religious sect do today. The eeason they were killed was because their belief empowered them to rebel against Rome, which was a colonial power occupying their land. When the father of Constantine died, Constantine was vying for the position of Emperor against four other candidates. He was so desperate that he made an alliance with the Gnostics-now increasingly called Christians- to fight along with his army and he promised them that if he win the battle against his rivals, he will make Christianity legal. Think of it like Buhari engaging Boko haram to win a battle his political opponents and promising them he'll make boko haram beliefs legal if he wins. When Constantine won, he made good his promise but with a BIG catch. The resurrection was to be understood as real and that Peter and co witnessed it. This would eventually allow Rome claim Peter and co as Roman saints and, therefore, at the top of the Christian hierachy. The Gnostics -originally from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Palestine, Turkey-disagreed and left the religion. This is why the Middle East don't believe in Jesus because they witnessed a fraud happen in their own eyes. For their disobidience, Constantine now an emperor, destroyed the genuine Christians completely. There were out-gunned and murdered, and their books burnt. Rome, then modified Gnosism and added Easter, Christmas, white Jesus, wrote the bible, plus many other Roman pagan beliefs into it. This fraud is what you call Christianity now. So, in reality Rome distroyed Christianity instead of adopting it. What spread across the world is Roman Christianity. The real Christianity died a long time ago!! 5 Likes |

kattytamer: Whites didn't bring any enlightenment to Africa or to any other land they conquered. What they did was destroy us and imposed what you now accept as enlightenment. But by 16th century in Britain it was also normal to burn women alive on the street calling them witch. In 1600 or thereabout, in Italy, Giordano Bruno was burnt alive for believing the earth is round. But they didn't tell you that. Indeed, it is Christianity and Islam that prevents having a rational mind to question the Gods. This thread is here because shortsighted Christians are scared of research into witches. How do we give up witches if a study don't disprove it? 3 Likes |

musicwriter:In your own words..in the 16th century they burnt witches at stake...while we were throwing babies into "evil" forests, but have they moved on from that? Do we still have parents torturing their kids because one prophet said they are witches here? What about old demented women who are often accused of turning into birds and all that nonsense? Again quit blaming whites. |

musicwriter: And this is history according to YouTube. I’ve told u b4 on a different thread to stop imbibing falsehoods from YouTube. They will prove to u conclusively that the earth is flat, that Michelle Obama is a man, princess Megan is a man, etc. I have told u before, Constantine events are CAREFULLY RECORDED HISTORY. Go and READ it!! Get your head out of YouTube! Constantine only lived 57 years almost 2000 ago. He has no control over things recorded by historians and archaeologists. I have asked u b4 (and u can’t give an answer because your narrative makes no sense): WHY WOULD AN EMPEROR OF ROME WHO IS WORSHIPPED AS GOD INVENT A RELIGION THAT DENOTES HIM AS JUST ANOTHER SINFUL SINNER HUMAN IN NEED OF SALVATION AND WHY WOULD HE WRITE A BOOK THAT CASTS HIS NATION IN VERY BAD LIGHT INDEED??!! |

fortran12: There was no historical Jesus. Otherwise, tell me about the historical Jesus outside of your bible. And no, there were no ''his followers''. The disciples didn't even exist. All of them were invented by Rome. Again, tell me about the historical Jesus. |

CanadaOrBust: Indeed, common sense should actually tell you that a Roman emperor would never have adopted a God to demote him. And he didn't!!. Constantine continued as the head of the Roman pagan sun God Apolo, even as Christianity was given to the masses. He never believed in Jesus himself. Its said that his friends who were so ashamed of this behavior forcefully baptised him on his death bed. And where did you get this youtube rave?I stated clearly in the other thread that the youtube video documentaries were ''for those who don't have time to do exrensive research'' on Christianity. The books below explains the history of religions and some of them the history of Christianity. Books. Bible myths and their parallel in other religions- T.W Doane Christianity before Christ- John G Jackson The sixteen crucified saviors- Karsey Graves 101 Myths of the Bible: How ancient scribes invented biblical history- Gary Greenberg Jesus never existed- Kenneth Humphreys Caesar's Messiah- Joseph Atwill Myth and ritual in Christianity- Alan Watts Anacalypsis- Godfrey Higgins 1 Like |

kattytamer: While we were in slavery and colonialism for 500 years, white people out-grew their own primitive practises in Europe in an age they call the renaissance period. The reason you see us still believe such things today in Africa is because those practises are stuck in the past. They were not allowed to evolve to self destruct. But Europe evolved out of their own primitivity but left us behind!. This's why historians generally hold them responsible for situations of this nature. It is only by opening up the game and studying witches, like the UNN scholars inteded to do, that we would eventually find out whether to discard such or not. If witches can't be discarded with rationality coming out of a study/education, then we're stuck forever. 1 Like |

I cringed reading the attitude of UNN students towards the academic lecture centred on the Meaning, Factors & Practices of Witchcraft. Just an ordinary lecture & students of the institution are forbidding witches & wizards from coming into the school as though the speakers & the organizers of the said lecture are coming straight from the kingdom of darkness to initiate new members. They should please locate another school worthy of the lecture biko....argh 1 Like

CanadaOrBust:. So, you're giving me a quora link?But quora is just a forum like Nairaland!Yet, same you rejected a youtube documentary. Between a post on quora and a researched documentary, which is more credible? Again, Constantine continued to be head of the pagan Roman belief system which at that time was morphed with many other beliefs to create Christianity, headed by the pope. In fact, Constantine is still the pope today, but with a different name. Constantine, a die-hard pagan and a tyrant continued to be seen as God after making Christianity legal. He was a cold blooded murderer even after making Christianity legal. Do you know Constantine killed his son? Do you know Constantine killed his wife? Do you know Constantine killed his inlaws? He did all that less than a year after making Christianity legal in Rome!Why will you believe in a God given you by a murderer? |

fortran12: A Yeshua simply means ''god saves'' and it could have been talking about anybody because it was the most common male child name in Palestine at that time. There were many thousand Yeshuas. Many Yeshuas died in the hand of Rome. |
