*WHY ABRAHAMIC RELIGION IS A THREAT TO AFRICAN PEOPLE,CULTURE AND TRADITIONS*
By Uwagboe Ogieva
Neither
Christianity nor Islam, Bible or Koran, Christians or Muslims are
friends of African traditional religion. None of the Abraham religion
does. These are clearly stated in the Holy Bible and The Koran
*THE BIBLE*:
The Bible state that Christians
should Kill Followers of Other Religions:
"If your own full brother, or
your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend,
entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers
have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away,
from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen
to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill
him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the
people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because
he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you
out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel,
hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your
midst." (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
John 14:6: Jesus answered, "I
am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.”. The bible made it clear that those who did not
believe in him or converted [born again] are condemned forever. John
3:18.."Anyone who believes in Him(Jesus) is not condemned, but
anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not
believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God." . Lots of
causes were passed on the unbelievers same with the Koran and Islam.
I see so many religionists rant and rave about how those who do not
beleive are “not tolerant of believers and have no respect for
their faith”. To non believers this claim is absurd. For
intolerance of various religions is the foundation of Judaism,
Christianity, Muslim and many other orthodox communities. Matter of
fact, the Bible and Pentateuch commands religious intolerance in MANY
verses, even to the point of KILLING people for their beliefs. Here
then, are a few choice verses that show just how intolerant these
religionists are of other believers and nonbelievers. We shall start
with the two verses that helped to inflict one of the biggest mass
murders in history, the Inquisition.
"·Those who run after other
gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of
blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips." - Psalm
16:4
"drive out all the inhabitants
of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their
cast idols, and demolish all their high places." - Numbers 33:52
Woman with “familiar spirits”
must be stoned to death. Leviticus 20:27
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to
live.” Exodus 22:18
KILL THOSE WHO ARE NOT CHRISTIAN OR
JEWISH:
You must kill those who worship
another god. Exodus 22:20
Kill any friends or family that worship
a god that is different than your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10
Kill
all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that worship
differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16
Kill everyone who has
religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy
17:2-7
Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy
17:12-13
Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20
Any city that doesn’t receive the
followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage
than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11
Jude reminds us that God destroys
those who don’t believe in him. Jude 5
CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT PRACTICE FREE
INQUIRY NOR SOCIALIZE WITH NON CHRISTIANS:
Don’t associate with
non-Christians. Don’t receive them into your house or even exchange
greeting with them. 2 John 1:10
Shun those who disagree with your
religious views. Romans 16:17
Paul, knowing that their faith
would crumble if subjected to free and critical inquiry, tells his
followers to avoid philosophy. Colossians 2:8
JUDGE OTHER RELIGIONS FOR NOT
FOLLOWING CHRIST:
Whoever denies “that Jesus is the
Christ” is a liar and an anti-Christ. 1 John 2:22
Christians are
“of God;” everyone else is wicked. 1 John 5:19
The
non-Christian is “a deceiver and an anti-Christ” 2 John
1:7
Anyone who doesn’t share Paul’s beliefs has “an evil
heart.” Hebrews 3:12
False Jews are members of “the synagogue
of Satan.” Revelations 2:9, 3:9
Here are some other favourite
quotes:
Everyone will have to worship Jesus -- whether they want
to or not. Philippians 2:10
A Christian can not be accused of any
wrongdoing. Romans 8:33
*INFACT, IS THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE AND
GOD UNBIASED? DOES HE LOVE EVERY RACE EQUALLY?*
Do read bellow what the bible has
to say concerning this:
{1}"For you {Jews} are an holy
people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord your God have chosen you to be
a special people unto himself, ABOVE ALL people that are upon the
face of the earth." Deut. 7:6 KJV
{2}"For you{Jews}
are an holy people unto the LORD your God, and the LORD have chosen
you to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that
are upon the earth." Deut. 14:2 KJV

your people Israel {the jews} your very own forever, and you, Lord,
have become their God." 1 Chron. 17:22
{4} "You
{Jews} only have I {god} known of ALL the families of the earth:…."
Amos 3:2
{5} " He {Jesus} answered, 'I was sent ONLY to
the lost sheep of Israel {the Jews.”

{Jews} know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John
4:22
{7} These twelve Jesus sent out with the following
instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles {non-Jew included
Africans} or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the
lost sheep of Israel {Jews only}. Matt. 10:5-6
(1) “O believers make war on the
infidels (non-Muslims) who dwell around you, let them find harshness
in you” - Qur'an 9:123 and Qur'an 9:29 …
(2) “The only true
faith in god's sight is Islam.” - Qur'an 3:19--------
(3) "Fight
and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer
them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem." [Qur'an
9:5]
“Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it”
(Qur'an 2:216).
(Quotes below are from N.J. Dawood's The Koran:

Book is not to be doubted.... As for the unbelievers, it is the same
whether or not you forewarn them; they will not have faith. God has
set a seal upon their hearts and ears; their sight is dimmed and
grievous punishment awaits them.
Quran 2:1/2:6-2:10; "The
Cow," Dawood, pp. 1-2
If you doubt what We have
revealed to Our servant, produce one chapter comparable to it. Call
upon your idols to assist you, if what you say be true. But if you
fail (as you are sure to fail) then guard yourselves against the Fire
whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the unbelievers.
Quran
2:23-4, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 3

him a mighty scourge.

*INFIDELS, UNBELIEVERS AND

Quran
3:28; "The Imrans," Dawood, p. 52
God's curse
be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away

Looking at these commands and words of the holy Bible and
Koran, Where is the African's faith and spiritual bedrock in the
world of Islam and Christianity rather than use every opportunity
they get to demonize, idolize, tribalize, and destroy ATR, with deep,
mortal hatred. Many have destroyed lots of great African arts, bronze
and monuments of reasonable significants to their cultural and
spiritual well being in the name of Christianity and Islam.
Nearly all religions were brought
to people and imposed on people by conquers except African
Traditional Religion. These monotheist Religion were used as the
frame work to control Africans mind.
According to Prof John Henry
Clarke, Religion were brought to African to mentally baptize and
enslave them. Quote:
“ To hold a people in oppression you have
to convince them first that they are supposed to be oppressed. When
the European comes to a country, the first thing he does is to laugh
at your God and your God concept. And the next thing is to make you
laugh at your own God concept. Then he don't have to build no jails
for you then, cause he's got you in a jail more binding than iron can
ever put you. Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no
longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because
the chains are on your mind. Someone say's your God is ugly and you
release your God and join their God, there is no hope for your
freedom until you once more believe in your own concept of the
"deity." And that's how we're trapped. We have been
educated into believing someone else's concept of the deity, and
someone else's standard of beauty. You have the right to practice any
religion and politics in a way that best suits your freedom, your
dignity, and your understanding. And once you do that, you don't
apologize. Nothing the European mind ever devised was meant to do
anything but to facilitate the European's control over the world.
Anything that you get from Europe that you are going to use for
yourself, remake it to suit yourself.”
When will Africa and Africans be
free from mental, spiritual, cultural and physical genocide of
Christianity and Islam? that is the real question [especially black]
African be asking and finding answers for now and future
excellence.
FINALLY,
“It ain't those parts of the Bible
that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do
understand” .--Mark Twain
