If you believe in Friday 13th, Halloween and such white superstitions, I hope you also do visit Ann Ndunge of Tala that witchdoctor who was interviewed by K24 yesterday. I hope you carry portions to ward off evil spirits and also pour libations to your ancestors.
There is no difference between Mzungu and African superstition! Only that one of them makes you feel civilized as you retrogress.
Jesus came so that you can be free from all such fears.
@ lol est and @ essyk if need be.
If you choose to respond,I urge some sobriety, no emotions please.
Answer the specific qns as asked, otherwise ignore.
Tell me please,comparing the African worship [before Christianity] and now that we call ourselves Christians, which of the two works for us?
Besides the Bible,which most of us were born into, have you read other religions' holy book? Which one?
How is it that Jews, in whose land Jesus was born, are not Christians?
If Jesus was to save us through the cross[blood], why is Judas branded a traitor? He just played part in accomplishing the mission.
If Judas was wrong,how then was Jesus supposed to shed blood?
If it was all about his blood and the cross,why wait for 33yrs? As a 1yr old He had blood.
More shall follow depending on your response, if you choose to.
But i will say this,there is a God.
How to get through to Him is what brings about all the religions.
I hope I am not late. I prepared these, if you are still interested.
Now today, you are beter off with christianity. It says 'in the time of ignorance God winked at, but now commands all men to repent' (Acts 17:30). Those who lived before they knew might get off the hook. Bahati yao.
I was into new age stuff. But then I did not know. I used to listen to Dr. Wayne Dyer and others keenly. I guess I dabbled with buddhism and those sort of things, I dont know.
You have no idea how they hate Jesus. They are looking for a national messiah who will establish Israel as the chosen race or something. Of course Jesus now wishes all to come to repentance, not just Jews. He does not fit into their model. (2 Peter 3:9)
Judas
No human being is beyond grace. But the decisions we make can take us beyond. He offered to betray Jesus, he was not asked to by anyone.
Following the type of the sacrificial lamb in the jewish temple, he was to be killed anyway.
A one year old is incapable of making decisions. We are told 'He laid down his life for us' (1 John 3:16) A one yr old could not make that decision.
