valboy20: Since it is your preoccupation to 'school' people, I really am interested in what u want to teach, loosemouth! U are using the same 'dead logic' to talk about real events of the Bible in bad light. Granted, the same principle applies that real landmarks...etc are not the ONLY STANDARD for proofs whether the events reported around them are real or imaginary (wait a minute! Are u implying that Adam, Eve, Abraham, Isaiah, Jesus, John etc did not exist? So, for example, someone who did not exist prophesied that Israel would be scattered as a nation but would come back together in the future, which was fulfilled in 1948. U mean that person did not exist?). Consider again the numerous authors of this 'storybook' most of who never met saying about the same things on one subject. Dont u think their individual imaginations must have been phenomenal with telephatic abilities of one to communicate to the other? Didnt that same history tell you that it was an Edict of Religious Tolerance made by Constantine so as to bring in the estranged and persecuted Christians into Rome's idolatrous society? By implication, anyone could worship whatever and whoever they wanted. And Yes, thank you, Mr 'schooler', I dont know 'shit' about history or 'poo' about Christianity, because I'm supposed to know the good things, the Truth about them not 'poo'! FYI, there's nothing new in how they came about Christmas at December 25 or why the day of worship changed from Saturday to Sunday. These are not enough to prove Christianity is a charade. Lowbrainers and nitwits like you keep battering it yet it is standing and it shall stand forever! You can hold on to your 'life logic' and keep on deceiving yourselves. We pray to live long, good lives and die at our old age. For you, death is probably the end of everything; but for me I know death here is a passage to life elsewhere. I have hope I will still live! |

akintom: its easy to call your opponent names when u run out of facts. Its foolhardy to barter words with the likes of you. However, i will not gratify u with an unfounded silence. Since u called me an empty barrel, let me make some noise in form of the following comments. 1. Your claim that Jesus & His followers were 'fanatical & rebellious' comes from where? And against whom were they rebellious? 2. You say the Bible is a 'fictional storybook', certainly places like 'EGYPT', 'RIVER JORDAN', 'ISRAEL' must have been fables, right? What of people like 'PHARAOH', 'HEROD', 'CEASAR AUGUSTUS' etc ? They must have been thought up too! (oh! I forgot u said there was a Roman government). How convenient to conclude this way! 3. You really are hilarious. Seriously? ''Thousands of historians documented Judeo-Christian activities'', yet they ALL WROTE BASED ON FABLES? Their work of FICTION was so perfect that they said about the same things on the same events? Again, how convenient! 4. Seriously now sir, u need a 'thinking retreat'. Which Roman Government 'selected...' the Bible? Is it the one that was persecuting the Christians or the one that worshipped several gods? Sir, it is better to show wisdom by learning quietly in humility than by voicing folly! Perhaps, nature (or whatever u believe in) can help u in understanding. FYI, FAITH BEGINS WHERE UR REASONING ENDS. Reason and faith are different but NEVER AGAINST each other. Enough said. |

I dont understand your problem with the 'christian god' as u put it, but one fatal historical blunder u are making is saying Abraham came up with the idea of a 'Christian god'. Excuse me but the word 'Christian' did not surface until some 10 or 11 years after Jesus! That's millenia apart from Abraham!! They didnt meet!!! So how come?¿ Hundreds of people over historical timeline wrote the books in the Bible and most of them did not meet. If the events and lessons of the Bible were lies, how FANTASTIC THOSE LIES MUST BE!! In my opinion, they must have been well-told, impeccable lies that many generations after could not fault or reason beyond!! Again, dont u agree that the Roman Empire must be full of nitwits and nincompoops, bereft of basic, singular and straight-forward understanding that they would not only believe, but also adopt Christianity as a state religion, knowing full well that it was all a lie propagated by a backward, 'religious rebel' known as Jesus, who had also created a cult?¿ If u people dont understand something, is it by force to peddle your ignorance? I think u need to go and do more research on these your allegations and stop embarassing yourself and fellow atheists! 1 Like |

this is all I'll say about this issue: 1. cohabiting is alien to the tenor of the Holy Scriptures, as far as the Bible is concerned, it is described as fornication. it should not be tolerated, encouraged either actively or passively, neither should it be heard even amongst saints...the Papacy in this instance seems to be patting them in the back! 2.homosexuality is perversion of the highest order. the bible calls it 'inconvenience'-ROM.1:28. only a reprobate mind engages in it: that is a mind equal to that of a wild animal! Christians are not animals, so we shouldn't even mention this not to talk of doing it. take note, one Roman Catholic Bishop started this in the church!! 3. there may be consequences in the flesh when sexual sins are committed, but so far as we know from the Bible, when you have sex with anyone other than your lawfully-wedded spouse, you DISHONOUR your body which is the Temple of God's Spirit. what this dishonour is can only be inferred...but do you want to find out what God will do to those who destroy His House? it is simple...and God is for us; He has our best interests at heart. now it may look like we are sinning and nothing is happening, but we forget that if we continue, we cause an inroad for our enemy to strike us. where issues like this are concerned, there is no diplomacy, human wisdom required; only the Wisdom of God which is found in His Word... 1 Like |

It's important to let those who have heard or known the gospel at one time or the other decide whether they'd receive what was preached to them... There is a way to make sure your message reaches the unsaved...yet without hurting or offending them. However without contradiction, there is a conviction that only the Holy Spirit works out in the unsaved, this can be achieved by prayer and sensitivity...be sensitive to Him who works all things according to His own will. We follow Jesus. |

Donald Trump has always been a 'leftist' where proper politics is concerned. I remember he said that there was danger in political correctness. as if President Barrack Obama had been fooling the nation all this while. I also remember that he called the legislators STUPID. and that is insulting your leaders... anyways, like someone said it's too Early to pick the winner eventually, we've got to wait. |

everyone knows when they say something wrong and they need to apologize; everyone knows when they do something wrong and they need to apologize; therefore i believe that regardless of your religion, you should know when your dressing offends the society and your God. no doubt some people have no sense of decency; I believe that this should not only be to the churches or the mosques but also every fibre of society. the world is going nude, but we must not lose our decency, identity and sense of belonging just because of negative influence from the world. let us all, especially christians, take note that we are responsible for the unbelievers around us. If they refuse to believe because of something else, let's not drive them away with our dressing or our conduct. ALOHA! IT IS WELL ![]() |

veeco vee: So u are encouraging them to just confess and go on living anyhow they like? My brother, confession is the first step into christianity. It's only confessing CHRIST that makes u a true CHRISTIAN. Not all christians would make it to heaven however, cause the Bible says "he (Christ) will ask some to depart that he knows them not. The journey to heaven starts with the confession, next you should live peacably with all man and you should also be holy... the Bible says without holiness, no one will see the Lord. scriptures tell us that if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shall BELIEVE IN THY HEART YOU SHALL BE SAVED. Any more conditions is the addition of self-righteous men to the standard of the bible, those who try to enter Heaven by the deeds of their hands and not the grace of Christ--EPH 2V8. |

ariseandshine: ariseandshine: what is wrong with what he said is calling the word sent from the mouth of the man of God a lie and falsehood. well, everyone is entitled to hold their opinions and he may hold his but not to cast aspersions on what he knows little or nothing about. ![]() |

after reading thru some of the posts above, I realized that the first mistake most of us commentators made was that we do not understand that all the Scripture is based on Jesus Christ. everything was written TO us, but not everything was written FOR us. not everything in the OT (old testament) is the christian supposed to claim; unless it refers to our father Abraham. the NT (new testament) was written so we would understand the life and work and ministry of our Saviour Jesus; not everything He said applied to the Church or the Church Age. the Epistles were written to us and many other instructions were given to the Church as the exigency came. we can follow them, for an example: covering of hair is still practiced by some churches, that will not take you to Heaven or Hell or make you lose your salvation whether you practice it or not. we should all know the mind of Christ for His Church. On the issue of salvation, you cannot lose your salvation. why? because you did not save yourself; you only accepted salvation. ROM 10 from verse 8 thru 10 makes us understand that the only work we did at salvation was accepting it by confession and believing Christ as the Lord and Saviour. And Yes, salvation is perpetual and eternal. To lose your salvation, confess and believe that Jesus is no more your Lord and Saviour and there u have it! I sure know no one wants to lose their salvation, so let those who don't believe, or think that it is too easy and unbelieveable know that this is the GOSPEL!!! (EPH 1:8; 2:6- ![]() |

lanre_front: I believe the poster of this article is a student of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. This kind of preaching or doctrine is imbalance or one-sided. It's an half truth which is just as dangerous as falsehood.brother, that you do not agree with a man's ministry does not give you the license to speak anyhow about his ministry. you should be mindful of what you say as a believer especially about other believers and most importantly about ministers of God. it behoves us to respect him and other ministers. |

God bless you, Mr Poster. this message is the truth, whether you like it or not! he (the poster) may not have used all the right words, but what is said is the truth of the Word (JOHN 8:32). ROM 10:9-10 is the lead scripture that the poster used. to get to "heaven", believe in your heart; and confess with your mouth that Christ Jesus is the Lord and Messiah. shikenah!! secondly, please listen carefully: According to ROM 10:6-7, ONLY Jesus came (descended) from above (heaven) in the form of a man; and ONLY him rose from the dead first, that is why he is called the 'firstborn from the dead'. therefore, NO MAN IS IN HEAVEN; ALL righteous dead are in paradise (check: LUKE 23:39-43) and the wicked dead are in Sheol or Hades (LUKE 16:22-23). Hell is not yet open for that will mean that we should no longer be on the earth anymore but before the Great White Throne facing the Last Judgment. this is not from my head but the Word of God (read REV 20, VERSES 4-6; 11-15). Heaven is the habitation of God and no man whosoever is there right now save Jesus Christ. |

THE TRUTH IS IN THE SCRIPTURES. EVER COME ACROSS THE SCRIPTURE WHICH SAYS THAT THE LABOURER DESERVES HIS PAY AND DO NOT MUZZLE THE OX THAT THREADS THE GRAIN? I DOUBT IT. ANYWAY, WHEDA U CALL IT SALARY OR ALLOWANCE, NOTHING IN THE BIBLE SAYS A MAN OF GOD SHOULD NOT AV ACCESS TO A CONSTANT, STABLE INCOME ( CHECK 1 CORINTHIANS 16 VERSES 1-2) |
