Hati13:I got interested when you said you're from Ethiopia. I absolutely love that country,it has a very interesting history.I read somewhere that Christianity originated from Ethiopia and the real Jews were Ethiopians/black. How true is this? And what does your culture say about Jesus?i have so many questions but pls answer this few |

Seun: It can be a bit disconcerting to others if you need to absolute (complete) evidence to believe something unless... your depth of insight is sufficiently significant than what is ordinarily observable by others. so why do you not believe |

Hati13:well your position makes it difficult for me to discuss some certain angles... but reading the accounts of Jesus Christ, there's nothing that points to a desire for fame or anything similar... many of us really really miss what Jesus did (or came to do). one major amongst others was to preach the gospel. we should be asking and seeking what does the 'gospel' entail? |

Re: Do Atheists Celebrate Christmas? by Bahddo(m): 10:03pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
Yeah, it's weird right? Atheists shouldn't be doing religious stuff. But then Christmas is now more than just a religious festival. It's mostly secular now. Something like thanksgiving which atheists still observe. Apart from the christ in the name, Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. It's a pagan festival with its tree and santa and saturnalia-inspired '12-days-of-chrismas'. 1 Like |

IamLaura:Christianity didn't originated here. It came to Ethiopia in the 1st century AD and become the state official religion in 320s AD. This makes Ethiopia the 2nd nation in the world after Armenia to adopt Christianity as a state religion. About the Jews, I believe that the original ones were Black but don't really know if they were Ethiopians. Most of the Ethiopian Jews went to Israel recently. Some say that the exodus didn't happened from Egypt to Palestine but rather from Ethiopia to Yemen. According to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, the Ark of the Covenant is in Aksum Mary Zion church, northern Ethiopia. And Ethiopia is 2nd and new Zion (Israel). The people are God chosen and will remain so until the coming of Jesus for the 2nd time. There is a saying here which says, "Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands unto God". https://www.nairaland.com/4051863/aksum-zion-church-resting-place What our culture (Christian Ethiopians cultures) say about Jesus is basically the same as others. We picture Jesus, Mary, Adam, Hewan and other Bible personals like ourselves aka Black. But the white men is trying their best in whitewashing our mind and most of the current generations thinks Jesus was white. Fu$k white ppl! It's totally bullshit, but there is a saying here in Ethiopia about man creation. It says, God first baked a clay lightly and white ppl came out, but God wasn't happy by this and again baked a clay, but lengthy this time and black ppl came out, but God is still wasn't happy by this and again tried to baked a clay for a third time, but he stopped the baking when a sign appeared for him and Ethiopians came out and God was finally happy. 1 Like 1 Share |

Billyonaire: Hahahaha @the bolded, I arrived at that conclusion after one great sleep I can never forget or remember in total. But I don't call it amnesia, but it sounds okay for I believe when God fully wakes up, existence as we know it will end and another will begin... The big guy is sleeping and dreaming all that's happening now... The hierarchy of life is all his doing. We can ascend if we work hard to. And work here denotes using your brain. Reason for being alive is just to discover yourself, understand it and your environment. If you mistake tell this to some people ehn, hahahaha make I no talk... ![]() As for the gods, not all of them love us o, some see us the way we see goat and rat and cockroach and even mosquito. If you disturb them with your human wahala, they'll just clap you to death and imprison anything that remains of you before you even realize yourself... lols People usually pray, "let your kingdom come" but they don't know that if Yahweh kingdom ever comes, na wahala all of us go enter. The great Lord of war will just finish us all because I know humans wahala these days pass the one wey dey Bible... morning sir |
