Why not make out time one Saturday morning to worship with any Seventh-day Adventist Church around you, introvertme? 1 Like |

DoctorAlien: I'll rather visit their fellowship at the university at least there are young people like me there. |
Re: .. by introvertme: 12:37pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
They've also started inviting entertainers for entertainment in the church, I remember when I saw a poster on Catholic church gate that stated that Gordon's will be coming to.... The link below is for a thread at the homepage that says korede bello will be visiting their church https://www.nairaland.com/3704802/korede-bello-performs-latter-rain 1 Like |

introvertme: Okay. Please do. I'm glad you're concerned about the true teachings of the Bible. |
Re: .. by menxer: 12:44pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
The church (organized religion) is putting blinders on people instead of removing the veil. Those that you, introvertme, call atheist, are probably those that have realized the blinders/blinkers on them and have or want it removed. Those with the blinders/blinkers on are the Sheeple, Those with the blinders/blinkers off or in the process of taking it off, are atheists. 3 Likes |

You are 100% right, every single thing you said is correct |
Re: .. by cloudgoddess(f): 1:01pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
The religion section is filled with Christians that cannot refute the statements these atheists make with cogent bible verses ,and yet they go round calling themselves Christians!!That's because many bible verses are in direct contradiction with reality. Trying to answer smart, deep questions with the bible is like trying to do physics using the Greek Mythologies as a guide. It just doesn't work. And trying to make it work makes people look foolish. And that's why Christians continue to get their proverbial asses handed to them in arguments, not only on these forums but across the internet and slowly across the world. Because they are wrong. They're following a book of mythologies that's full of blatant inconsistencies and falsehoods. 5 Likes |

cloudgoddess: There are interpolations by bias translators in the Bible, my church has agreed on that aspect. |
Re: .. by DoctorAlien(m): 1:13pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
cloudgoddess: Give me just one part of the Bible(KJV) that is in direct contradiction with reality. |
Re: .. by cloudgoddess(f): 1:15pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
introvertme:Your church will agree on anything that protects and defends the religion, duh. When science blatantly disproves biblical claims (like the earth standing on 4 pillars, or women not being permitted to speak above men), those claims are dubbed "biased translations" or "metaphors" by the church so the church can keep going and continue bamboozling people. It's ironic that you can't see that THAT is actually the most blatant display of bias. Heck, I'd even call it deception. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Re: .. by introvertme: 1:22pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
cloudgoddess: *biased translation* *metaphors* Yap that's what is contained in d Bible,most statements made are actually figurative. |
Re: .. by DoctorAlien(m): 1:32pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
cloudgoddess: Why do you atheists love to lie? Do you folks not value integrity? Where does the Bible say that the earth hangs on "4 pillars"? If you're talking about 1 Sam. 2:8, then the word "four" is not located there. Moreover, men of GOD throughout the ages knew, through the wisdom of GOD in them, that the earth rests upon nothing(Job 26:7). Hannah's words in 1 Sam. 2:8 are poetic, and although the earth literally hangs on nothing, GOD is the one who firmly holds the earth in its orbit. 1 Like |

I opened this thread not to start fighting with atheists, I opened it to discuss on the changes that Christianity has gone through and how WE Christians should be observant. |

DoctorAlien: what's the difference? They are all the same except that maybe you guys worship on saturday and not sunday. |
Re: .. by DoctorAlien(m): 1:50pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
ElsonMorali: No, they are not the same by any means. The Seventh-day Adventist Church teaches the truth of the Bible as it is, and does not teach the commandments/traditions of men as doctrine(Matt. 15:9). 1 Like |
Re: .. by ElsonMorali: 1:54pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
DoctorAlien: yeah, right. The truth by whose standard? Who determines the truth. Other Churches also claim to teach the truth with good and solid arguments. |
Re: .. by DoctorAlien(m): 1:58pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
ElsonMorali: The truth by the standard of the Bible alone! "To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isa. 8:20 "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line..." Isa. 28:10 |
Re: .. by ElsonMorali: 2:04pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
DoctorAlien: oga, other churches too read the bible and their interpretation is obviously different from your church's. Oh and they also claim the holy spirit. So who's lying? 2 Likes |

Re: .. by oaroloye(m): 4:57am On Jul 11, 2017 |
SHALOM! introvertme: If you want to be taken seriously, BE SERIOUS. Stop using BROKEN ENGLISH. . DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9. 4. Hear, O Israel: "THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 5. "AND THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THINE HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIGHT." 6. And these Words, which I Command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7. And thou shalt teach Them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of Them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8. And thou shalt bind Them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9. And thou shalt write Them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. WRITE TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY- RESPECTING GOD, RESPECTING THE WORD OF GOD, RESPECTING THE SUBJECT, RESPECTING THE READERS, RESPECTING YOURSELF. I've been on nairaland since I was in ss3,I never visited the religion subforum on nairaland,but the day I did.... When were you in SS3? What are you in, now? These were my findings, What- you have known Atheists who are NOT Atheists? You figured all this out in ONE day? 2)The religion section is filled with Christians that cannot refute the statements these atheists make with cogent bible verses ,and yet they go round calling themselves Christians!! Well, that is really factual. The reason, of course, is that THEY were NEVER BORN OF GOD. . MATTHEW 10:11-20. 11. "And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 12. "And when ye come into an house, salute it. 13. "And if the house be worthy, let your Peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14. "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your Words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15. "Verily I say unto you, 'IT SHALL BE MORE TOLERABLE FOR THE LAND OF SODOM AND GOMORRHA IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, THAN FOR THAT CITY.' 16. "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17. "But Beware of Men: for they will deliver you up to the Councils, and they will scourge you in their Synagogues; 18. "And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a Testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19. "But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20. "For it is not ye that speak, but The Spirit of your Father Which speaketh in you. 21. "And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22. "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to The End shall be saved. 23. "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, 'YE SHALL NOT HAVE GONE OVER THE CITIES OF ISRAEL, TILL THE SON OF MAN BE COME.' 24. "The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25. "It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house 'Beelzebub,' how much more shall they call them of his household? 26. "Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27. "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops." IF THEY WERE OF GOD, THE SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD GUIDE THEM IN WHAT TO SAY. Have you seen MY Topics and Posts? 3)The religion section is also filled with Christians that see their pastors or priests as God(They've refused to acknowledge this but their actions on this forum clearly proves DAT they respect their pastors more than God) . LUKE 6:39-49. 39. And he spake a Parable unto them, "Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40. "The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 41. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42. "Either how canst thou say to thy brother, 'BROTHER, LET ME PULL OUT THE MOTE THAT IS IN THINE EYE,' when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 43. "For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44. "For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45. "A Good Man out of the Good Treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is Good; and an Evil Man out of the Evil Treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is Evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46. "And why call ye me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not the things which I say? 47. "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48. "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49. "But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great." THIS SAID, WHAT ABOUT YOU? Other people's faults are the easiest thing to see. Let no human being deceive you!!!! Again: WHAT ABOUT YOU? If you have some "UNADULTERATED WORD OF GOD" Message, WHY AREN'T YOU PRESENTING IT? Why are you wasting our time with this useless rant, pointing out nothing someone with one functioning brain hemisphere can perceive? TITHES, PROSPERITY, RICHES, AND MIRACLES ARE THE WORD OF GOD! They are just not the ONLY Word of God. If you take those away, what will you replace them with? I feel most Christians have been brainwashed including me. Your parents sound like stupid people. Christians support Pastors who tell them what they want to hear. . PROVERBS 26:24-28. 24. He that hateth Dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up Deceit within him; 25. When he speaketh fair, believe him not for there are seven Abominations in his heart. 26. Whose hatred is covered by Deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole Congregation. 27. Whoso diggeth a Pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. 28. A Lying Tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a Flattering Mouth worketh Ruin. IT IS THE WEAK-MINDED THAT SUCCUMB TO ORATORY. The Strategy of many Pastors seems to be to build a Cathedral on the Backs of the Poor, and then, when it is built, by telling the Poor whatever is necessary to keep the money flowing in, then, when it is built, preach Doctrines to attract THE RICH AND POWERFUL, discarding the POOR- who are no longer needed. . LUKE 17:1-10. THEN said he unto the Disciples, "It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2. "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the Sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3. "Take heed to yourselves: If thy Brother trespass against thee, Rebuke him; and if he Repent, Forgive him. 4. "And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, 'I REPENT;' thou shalt forgive him." 5. And the Apostles said unto the Lord, "Increase our Faith." 6. And the Lord said, "If ye had Faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this Sycamine tree, 'BE THOU PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOT, AND BE THOU PLANTED IN THE SEA;' 7. "But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, 'GO AND SIT DOWN TO MEAT?' 8. "And will not rather say unto him, 'MAKE READY WHEREWITH I MAY SUP, AND GIRD THYSELF, AND SERVE ME, TILL I HAVE EATEN AND DRUNKEN; AND AFTERWARD THOU SHALT EAT AND DRINK?' 9. "Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. 10. "So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are Commanded you, say, WHEN THE GOSPEL OF LORD YAHSHUA IS NOT THE FOUNDATION, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN? I believe that your parents received THE GOSPEL THAT THEY PAID FOR. I believe that they were LYING when they said that their Church had become "ANOTHER THING." I believe that it was the same Church it had always been. The only difference was that NOW, THEY WERE AT THE RECEIVING END of the FALSE DOCTRINES they themselves had WILFULLY SPONSORED for YEARS. So I'll address the last of my findings today. . MATTHEW 23:1-15. THEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his Disciples, 2. Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3. "All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6. "And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues, 7. "And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.' 8. "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are Brethren. 9. "And call no man your father upon the Earth: for One is your Father, Which is in Heaven. 10. "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11. "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater Damnation. 15. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the Child of Hell than yourselves." WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD HAVE "PASTORS?" That era has passed,we're all humans. THE HEAD OF YOUR CHURCH WAS NOT LORD YAHSHUA? In THIS Day & Age of LITERACY, no one can say that THEY DIDN'T KNOW what THE LORD SAID! I'll advice everyone to visit different churches and see what is peculiar about that church,take note of their doctrines and move on to next one. Here you reveal YOUR own STUPIDITY! . MATTHEW 24:22-28. 22. "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the Elect's Sake those days shall be shortened. 23. "Then if any man shall say unto you, 'LO, HERE IS CHRIST, OR THERE;' believe it not. 24. "For there shall arise False Christs, and False Prophets, and shall shew great Signs and Wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very Elect. 25. "Behold, I have told you before. 26. "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, 'BEHOLD, HE IS IN THE DESERT;' go not forth: 'BEHOLD, HE IS IN THE SECRET CHAMBERS;' believe it not. 27. "For as the lightning cometh out of the East, and shineth even unto the West; so shall also The Coming of the Son of Man be. 28. "For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. THE LORD SPECIFICALLY COMMANDED HIS DISCIPLES NOT TO DO THAT! Not to GO to places that ADVERTISE YAHSHUA, and say: "WE HAVE YAHSHUA HERE!" It is EITHER TRUE, or else IT IS NOT TRUE- either way, WHAT DOES IT MATTER? What are you going to GET in a place like that? If you HAVE the Lord WITH you, WHY do you need to go anywhere else? If you do NOT have THE LORD, isn't THAT what you should have addressed FIRST? . JOHN 14:21-27. 21. "He that hath my Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." 22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, "Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the World?" 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, "If a man love me, He will keep my Words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24. "He that loveth me not keepeth not my Sayings: and the Word which ye hear is not mine, but The Father's Which sent me. 25. “These things have I spoken unto you, being (yet) present with you. 26. "But The Comforter, (Which is) The Holy Ghost, Whom The Father will send in My Name, He shall Teach you All Things and bring all things to your Remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 “Peace I leave with you; My Peace I give unto you, not as the World giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Or sit at home and read your Bible !!! A World-Famous Evangelist, ORAL ROBERTS, asked God, early in his Ministry, "HOW CAN I KNOW JESUS?" He was answered: "READ MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN, AND THE BOOK OF ACTS- THREE TIMES IN THIRTY DAYS!" He did it on his knees. At the end of the thirty days, he testified, he knew JESUS better than he knew anyone on the Face of the Earth! . -Kenneth Copeland. In my opinion, ONLY FOOLS go to Churches of people who do not have this MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD. .. 1st JOHN 2:3-6. 3. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments. 4. He that saith, "I KNOW HIM," and keepeth not his Commandments, is a liar, and The Truth is not in him. 5. But whoso keepeth his Word, in him verily is The Love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. OF COURSE, LORD YAHSHUA IS NOT KNOWN MERELY BY READING ABOUT HIM! His Doctrine must be IMPLEMENTED to KNOW HIM. But anyone who does not take this as an IMPERATIVE INSTRUCTION FROM GOD cannot be a REAL CHRISTIAN at all. |
