Hello,
To every opponent of Christianity, I will tell you the conditions for me to consider a discussion about whether one should be a Christian or not. These are also the conditions for following your videos and teachings against Christianity.
I. You must first answer yes to the following questions: 0) Does your god condemn those who walk in love for their neighbor and in justice because they are Christians? Does he condemn those who manifest the fruits of the Spirit described below because they are Christians? (See Galatians 5:22-24: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”)
- Do you have peace where you are? A permanent peace? Without any more worries about your present and future?
- Do you walk in love for your neighbor? Do you love your neighbor as yourself? Do you have hatred far from your heart?
- Do you hate injustice? Iniquity? Do you stay away from it?
- Do you proactively manifest kindness towards your neighbor?
- Do you have the promise of eternal life?
- Have you passed my logic test successfully (I will send it to you, and I will correct your answer)?
- Do you now know the difference between correlation and causality, and can you illustrate it? See the following link if you do not know the difference: https://www.journalducameroun.com/analyse-de-la-validite-des-classements-et-application-au-classement-des-universites-lexemple-camerounais/
- Do you know the difference between literal writing and an allegory?
- Do you know the definition of a child of God or a Christian according to Christ in the Bible? Give it: Do you use this definition of Christian in your debates?
- Do you know how Christ asked Christians to behave towards their neighbor and violence according to the Bible?
- Do you know what sign Christ gave in the Bible to recognize Christians? Recall it: Do you use this sign to recognize them?
- Do you walk in respect of the laws of your god?
- Does your god protect you?
- Do you know how to rid yourself of bad faith in your discussions? What criteria do you use to establish that you are not acting in bad faith?
- Can you recall what the conditions are in the Bible to benefit from God’s promises? And those to be under his wrath?
- Do you know people who fulfill these conditions and say they do not have access to God’s promises?
- Have you proven that blacks have fulfilled these conditions to ask God why their misfortunes?
- Is God racist? Is he African? Is he specifically for Africans?
- Can your god confront Christ in a demonstration of spirit and power?
- According to the Bible, did Christ announce false prophets?
- Does the existence of counterfeits prevent the existence of the real thing?
- Were your gods and spirituality present when you were colonized? Why don’t you blame them for not defending you?
- After more than 5000 years of your spirituality, you could not defend yourself against the invader, nor produce appreciable technology despite your internal wars. Why would Christianity suddenly be responsible for all your woes in less than 200 years of its presence?
- Why did Christianity not prevent the development of Westerners who do not have Christianity as their base religion (it is also an imported religion for them) and would have only prevented your development?
- Is it Christianity that asks you to be wicked, thieves, unjust, corrupt…, known factors of underdevelopment?
- In 5000 years, your spirituality could not produce great technology, why would it suddenly do so now?
- Do you know the traditions of your ancestors? Can you describe them?
NB: Note that Christ does not need to exist for you to answer my questions about him, since I say “according to the Bible.”
II. When you have answered all this correctly, note well that before discussing anything else, you will need to tell me what problem you have with the message of the gospel, and not with the Bible. And for that, you will need to recall the message of the gospel that bothers you. Otherwise, in my eyes, you are just one of those who reject the scriptures because they testify that their works are evil.
III. If you answer Yes to all this, then we will see how to confront the God of Jesus Christ with your god or spirituality in a demonstration of spirit and power and not in long discussions. Elijah did not debate with the prophets of Baal, nor Peter with Simon the magician, nor Paul with Elymas the magician. God is unique and is called by various names in various languages. Christ gave the right criterion to recognize those who know him, and this criterion is not the proclamation of faith in Jesus Christ. However, if you answer No to some questions, it means we cannot discuss or that your spirituality has no interest to me. We are talking about the kingdom and justice of God, not spirituality. We are talking about love, peace, and eternal life, not spirituality. We remain in truth and logic, not bad faith and illogic. Let’s avoid being off-topic or leaving the importance of the accessory.
