I JUST WANT US CHRISTIANS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE READY FOR THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD , SIMPLY BECAUSE GOD PROMISED TO DESTROY THE WORLD DURING THE TIME OF NOAH AND HE KEPT HIS PROMISE. LIKEWISE HE HAS PROMISED TO DESTROY THE WORLD WITH FIRE THIS TIME AND I BELIEVE HE IS GOING TO KEEP HIS PROMISE WHETHER WE ARE READY FOR HIM OR NOT. AS SUCH WE NEED TO KEEP AND MAKE OURSELVES READY SO AS TO AVOID BE PARTAKERS IN THE PUNISHMENT TO COME


The constant barage of insults , persecution and ridicule from SCOFFERS (M.u.slims , Atheist, Evolutionist, Catholics etc) on True Christians who dare to speak the truth against their lies and idolatory is actually nothing new.
Below is what the bible has to say about them,


2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.


Lets note the following from the verses above:

1. Scoffers (someone who jeers or mocks or treats something with contempt or calls out in derision) = Evolutionist, islamists, atheists

2. Scoffers walk after their own lusts (selfishness, murders, suppression of truth, homosexuality, animal rights movement nonsense, humanism) and say that Christ would not come, things continue as they always have from the beginning (shown by when they said that evolution has always being there from the beginning)

3. People that make jest of the bible and everything in it (Creation etc) are not new they had existed before even in the perished world of the time of Noah.

4. The world during the time of Noah perished, via[b] Water[/b].

5. Our world during our time (or time of our children) would also perish, this time via Fire

bawomol(o) is an amazing person. He can study and discover imaginary contradictions in the bible.

Strangely, he finds it difficult to differentiate between men and women ---- please note that there is a real difference between men and women.

so IMHOTEP, how do u explain the numerical errors or chronological errors??

@nwando

Thanks for the link: http://www.upontruth.com/categories/biblecontradictions.html

I appreciate that.

"There is very little that is confusing in
the Bible.  When we understand all the
original readings and the context behind them,
the confusion virtually disappears. Of course we need
scholarship to understand everything in there, as we are
2,000 - 3,500 years and a translation removed from the original hearers."

That's a quote any honest thinker will readily agree to.

But then one must commend some fellas. It's not easy
sitting up all those nights Googling up "contradictions".

these guys are just jobless and a little silly
the bible says '23,000 people where killed, then later it says 24,000 people where killed and thats a contadiction!!!!!! isnt that just silly!
whats ur point dog u need to have a point!!!


i mean try this one 4 size

Are the laws of the Old Testament still binding?

Psalm 119:160
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

Galatians 5:18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.


and thats supposed to be a contradiction!!!!! wow! its not worth commenting on, i still insist the bible is not meant 4 people who have less than average intelligence

bawomolo:

so IMHOTEP, how do u explain the numerical errors or chronological errors??

@bawomolo

You are taking most of these things out of context.

See a more balanced article on this issue here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_consistency_and_the_Bible

You are taking most of these things out of context.

pls list the ones i am taking out of context. u guys seem defensive here while hardly countering any of the contradictions.

the bible says '23,000 people where killed, then later it says 24,000 people where killed and thats a contadiction!!!!!! isnt that just silly!

but the bible is the word of God,the word of God can never lie. u might want to read what a contradiction means

Good job bawomolo,

You got me laughing so hard. . . . .

No wonder we have a lot of confused, fake born agains roaming around in frustration, having lost the ability to think for themselves.  He who lives by the tenets of confusion. . . . . you know the rest.

Please keep the entertainment coming while I laugh ma self to euphoria. If you decide to comb that whole literature book, you would need 20 more lifetimes to go through all of them. Just save some work for the future generations abeg!

Bawomolo, wetin dey worry you? Abeg leave peoplem to practice their religion jo. Be very careful - You may think you are a highly intelligent aetheist as you claim to be - but only a fool says there is no God. If you think we all just magically appeared from some atomic explosion, then you are highly mistaken. Even someone with 2 brain cells can reason that. If you learn the mathematics of creation, the mathematics of gravity and how it is precise to one trillionth of its dimension and various other mathematical and physical forces which have been expressly designed by God, without which the Earth cannot exist, you would not be here spouting such rubbish. Anyway, I no get time to enter this debate with you - but make you just respect yourself for here. That is all.

Either you get paid to research all this bible that you are quoting - otherwise something dey worry you.

If you learn the mathematics of creation, the mathematics of gravity and how it is precise to one trillionth of its dimension and various other mathematical and physical forces which have been expressly designed by God, without which the Earth cannot exist, you would not be here spouting such rubbish.

pseudo-intellectual bullshit. gravity isn't explained by supernatural reasons. the mathematics of creation, what journal was that published?? lol. one-trillionth of it's dimension?? wtf is that.

@bamowolo

Take no hostages I say.   No wonder these fake Christains are confused and cause a lot of problems on Nairaland and in Nigeria.  Obviously that literature book is full of lies!


What a shame.  The reason most of them if not all are bloody hypocrites.  I say knock 'em dead with those their babalawo ritualistic chantings!

Confused religion, for the confused and senile!

LIARS!!!

@ all Christians answering to this thread
God is not dead and does not need your help to defend himself. God has said before that Sprititual things cannot be understood with a carnal mind. Why then do you think you can get a carnal mind to understabd spiritual things by sound logical arguments. Are you God?? Or is God lying when he said that. Why don't you expend your energies on getting to know him better instead of trying to do the work that he did not ask you to do.

@ those asking questions
What is the real motive for the questions. Do you really want answers or are you just trying to communicate your beliefs. Take care that it doesnt come round and bite you too. You know what goes round comes around.

are you not tired of talking to yourself. JESUS IS LORD and there is nothing you or your friends or religion can do except you repent and call HIM JESUS your lord and saviour.

You people and your Daily Heartache.

The truth ignores ignorance.

You should know that Truth does not have anything to prove.

Truth ultimately needs no proof.

@poster
the bible is nt just like any literature book,it is GODS WORD. MY GOD DOS NT CONTRADICT HIMSELF .except u av the spirit of God in you ,sorry u can neva understand Him.we born again christians do nt analyse scriptures in isolation i.e just picking on a verse and interpretin it the way it is, as u av done,rather u nid 2 carefully study the verses or even chapters preceeding it inorder to av an indept understanding.However the bottom line still remains aving the spirit of GOD in u without which u will lack indept understanding of GODS word.so my brother, stop confusing urself and misleading others who ar gullible enough to b mislead!

HI Gamine

oxymoron, who initially determined the bible was the truth?? there has to be evidence or facts accompanying it before it's determined the truth. if the bible is God's word, then it shouldn't have any errors.

the bible is nt just like any literature book,it is GODS WORD. MY GOD DOS NT CONTRADICT HIMSELF

your God does contradict himself, first he was a tribal leader who was biased towards the jews, but now in the NT, he reinvents him/her self as a universal God.

lol@almondjoy- this is fun to me. notice how most of the blind sheep can't counter most of the contradictions.

Thank you my brother. These people are jobless.

are u crybabies going to answer to contradictions or just continue with ur night vigil.

bawomolo:

are u crybabies going to answer to contradictions or just continue with your night vigil.

I always say 'do not argue with a fool, because people might not know the difference'!! Its actually useless arguing these things, trust me, am talking for experience. Fotodaddy has sd it all, whats the secret behind all these nosy questions, why the obsession? And please God dosent need us to defend him, he can do it all by himself!! The wrath of God will definitely fall on those that mock him and his people, starting with AlmondJay

Ha ha ha ha.

I will be praying for your soul.

its the least we can do for you

man! this thread proves how silly people who claim to rely only on logic really are! heres a contradiction for you
Science claims water boils at 100 degrees
Science also claims waer boils at 99.8 degrees
Conclusion: science must be false!!!

did u just compare science to the word of God. the boiling point of water is an approximation, temperature can't be measured without any errors. are u trying to say the bible is an approximation of the truth. is that what u are implying u'd think the mugu's writers that took time to write the bible would proof read it.

translation- i have nothing to contribute other than insults on people who criticize my imaginary God. MAN wrote the bible, so it's the job of Man to defend what it wrote.


Who brought evil on Job?

SATAN
Job 2:7
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

GOD

Job 42:11
