Ericsunday619: a judge is both a father, brother, husband, uncle, neighbour e.t.c. But still sentence people to death and jail time. There is a law and the punishment of breaking the law is spelt out. This laws are giving for the smooth running of any orderly system.

nairalanduseles:i have visited a prophet, who seems to be revealing deep things about my dads life (that's my purpose of visiting), and every other person sitting there (we are five) and it's obvious a voice is speaking to him... An invincible eye is watching you, take it or leave it... The ways of GOD ain't the way of man... An a day is coming which the voice which has been speaking to the prophets through out the endless ages will appear, no human is prepared for it... It's something you can't fathom. |

walls01:I have much to say but no time to type. But I will just leave you with this: Some time ago, people of the world believed the earth was flat. But today, we know the earth is spherical. Now imagine a situation where the earth is invisible. People will still claim and argue till date that it is flat and they will pull out absurd theories, anecdotes and what have you just to buttress their point and you can't refute it except by pointing out the absurdities and inconsistencies in their claims. |

chemystery: i know your point, but you are now saying thesame thing with me. People assume some are correct some are wrong, this just shows the inconsistency of man's world. Take the bible for example, one bible thousands of interpretations. Some people even translated that the bible said the earth is flat, whereas in Isaiah it states the earth is round. We cant just conclude based on one person logical way of reason. Man different way of analysing things is a mysery. Have you ask yourself why man is so different from any living thing 1 Like |

walls01:We ain't close to saying the same thing. In reality, the bible teaches that the earth is flat because it was written by ancient primitive men who thought it was flat. It was after people know this fact that they started trying to translate the bible to coincide with the current fact. You know humans never agree the bible mean what it says rather they always think the bible says what they mean. And what do you think many versions of the English bible is there for? It is just an attempt to hide or modify the truths that will discredit the bible. One major difference between man and animal is the different way we think. If animals gain the required consciousness to start thinking as humans, and start asking questions like "where did we come from?", "where do we go when we die?", etc, they will invent their own heaven, hell, and gods in their own image just like we humans invented heaven, hell and gods in our own image. |

chemystery: firstly the bible in no verse say the earth is flat. Again how do you know the bible is retranslated to suit modern belief? First we have the first translation well kept safe then the dead sea scroll and other bible manuscripts. Again i am surprise that u are one of those that believe in evolution, according to what u said " if animals gain the right consciousness to think as human" this is a worse thinking than a fairy tale movie. How? Have man not been with animals for ages?. Again let me draw your attention to life in itself, their is no secret part of the universe were life is formed from nothing. Then again how is life formed? According to science animals evolves just like your expectations. But from the simplest form of reasoning and from what science says is a gradual process, we would have seen different stages at least more than five stages of evolutionof animals thinking as man. Evolution is one of the most absurd thinking of man till date, it makes no sense as it is outright nonsense. As a concluding point where and how did the first living thing evolve from? 1 Like |

monisexy: Those days you wanted to steal your mum's meat and you remember the 7th commandment, was that not God speaking to you? When you are about to lust after opposite sex and you remember the commandment bothering on adultery and fornication, has God not spoken to you? When you get worried a d you remember Jesus said, do not worry about tomorrow, has God not spoken to you? God has spoken once and for all times, he has spoken eternally. Read and meditate on his words and you stop getting worried about some who hallucinate and call it God speaking to them. God speaks to us all through his eternal words, for all time. |

walls01:The bible in several verses insinuated that the earth is flat, using statements like four corners of the earth, supported by four pillars, and the case where Satan took Jesus to a height where he showed Jesus all the kingdom of the earth. And all these are only possible for a flat earth. Again how do you know the bible is retranslated to suit modern belief?Like for instance, the bible contradicted itself by saying the animal was created before man in genesis chapter one while man was created before animals in chapter two. It was later that NIV partially took care of this contradiction from retranslation. Also, in genesis 1:1: Many versions said in the beginning, god created heaven and earth. But when people started asking where was god before creating heaven, other translations took care of that by replacing heaven with heavens (to mean other planets), some translations replaced heaven and earth with "Universe". This was only done after scientist must have discovered other planets. First we have the first translation well kept safe then the dead sea scroll and other bible manuscripts.Nobody knows where the original bible manuscript is. Everyone is just translating from what they could lay their hands on. I mentioned this to you? according to what u said " if animals gain the right consciousness to think as human" this is a worse thinking than a fairy tale movie. How? Have man not been with animals for ages?.An assumption. Just to let you know that any being that have gain consciousness to ask questions but not enough to provide answers, will likely invent gods, Satan, witches, ghosts, etc. You know previously sickle cell was attributed to witchcraft. Get it now? Again let me draw your attention to life in itself, their is no secret part of the universe were life is formed from nothing.And god also cannot be formed from nothing, neither can he form the universe from nothing! So since we both know this concept, why can't we both admit that we don't know? Then again how is life formed?Same question ancient primitive men asked, and the answer was to invent gods According to science animals evolves just like your expectations. But from the simplest form of reasoning and from what science says is a gradual process, we would have seen different stages at least more than five stages of evolutionof animals thinking as man.You asked a valid questions but it will only be sentimental if you haven't ask why we aren't seeing any talking snake or talking donkeys as recorded in the Bible. Because if this is true, we would have had cases of snakes or donkeys talking to humans Evolution is one of the most absurd thinking of man till date, it makes no sense as it is outright nonsense. As a concluding point where and how did the first living thing evolve from?Maybe, but the bible is million times more absurd. Doesn't even qualify for a myth or comic book. Asking where the first living thing came from is a valid questions. And my answer to that is I DONT KNOW. If you say it is god, where did it come from? Nowhere? If yes, then why can't we say same for the universe? |

Re: Have You Ever Heard God Speak? by walls01: 9:57pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
chemystery: i will raise few points. First the bible did not say the earth is flat you assume it said that. Many contradictions in the bible is based on assumptions. If the earth is round as we know it why do scientist divide it into four parts, north, south east and west as though it is flat? You also misunderstood the bible when he said every eye will see him, even if the earth is flat every eye cannot see him because the distance will be too far for the eye to see. This is the rapture Jesus is referring to the spiritual part of man that is independent of time and space. If you assume the universe has always been we are no longer talking of common sense but i will group you among a religion because that is a belief not a common sense. If we are talking about the term beginning it is always difficult for man to comprehend because he has a beginning. It is a known fact that man have little knowledge of the earth because he found himself on it, and God from the start told man he is the creator. The spirit of God testifies even today and i am a witness. Every other thing outside a creator is disbelief and lacks any evidence. We cannot deny the fact we know nothing about the term in the beginning, which ever way u look at it God or no God. Trying to base on this limit of understanding has made man a foolish being, for how do you try to explain what you dont know, more like an ape trying to understand why men created computer 1 Like |
Re: Have You Ever Heard God Speak? by chemystery: 10:44pm On Feb 18, 2018 |
walls01:Bible is not a geography book so we don't expect it to explicitly state that the earth is flat but we can deductively get our facts from criticaly analyzing the passages. The four cardinal point has been in use even before the people know the earth was spherical. And they are used to specify direction while assuming a flat surface. Now, even if the bible is referring to four cardinal points of the whole earth, it is only possible on a flat surface. Take a spherical ball and try to locate four corners of it. It is impossible. Even if you create 4 dots on it as the four corners, give it to another man, he will also create 4 different dots and so on. If four different people stand on four equidistant point on a sphere, a single straight line will connect all dots together. Hence trying to make a sphere four corner will definitely not work. But this is not the case for a flat four cornered surface. You are only trying to match the bible with today's reality and not by what it really implies. You also misunderstood the bible when he said every eye will see him, even if the earth is flat every eye cannot see him because the distance will be too far for the eye to see.The bible rather misunderstood reality. This is the rapture Jesus is referring to the spiritual part of man that is independent of time and space.Saying Jesus is independent of time and space is claiming to know what you don't know. Are you also independent of time and space to know this? Else what are your proofs for this claim? If you assume the universe has always been we are no longer talking of common sense but i will group you among a religion because that is a belief not a common sense.I didn't assume anything, you did. You assumed god started existing from nothing and from nowhere. So I asked, if you can make such claim or assumption, why can't you say so for the universe? You can group me anywhere you wish, it doesn't change reality. If we are talking about the term beginning it is always difficult for man to comprehend because he has a beginning. It is a known fact that man have little knowledge of the earth because he found himself on it, and God from the start told man he is the creator.Known facts indeed! God told man he is the creator or that the men who created god deceived their fellow men that god created man? In fact, there is no single proof that gods made man but there are many proof that man made god. There are over 4000 gods all made up by men. If gods had made man, maybe with existing 4000+ gods, we'll be having over 4000+ specie of humans made by each god The spirit of God testifies even today and i am a witness. Every other thing outside a creator is disbelief and lacks any evidence.Anectodotes. I said all these once upon a time. We cannot deny the fact we know nothing about the term in the beginning, which ever way u look at it God or no God. Trying to base on this limit of understanding has made man a foolish being, for how do you try to explain what you dont know, more like an ape trying to understand why men created computerHmmmmn, you have been the one trying to explain what you don't know or have any proof of. There is no harm in saying I DONT KNOW. There is no evidence that any god exist except for questions ask from ignorance like: "where did we come from?", " where do we go when we die?", "what is the purpose of life?", etc. But lack of understanding of something is not evidence for gods but evidence of lack of understanding . |

chemystery: clearly you are over simplifying life. Is either you are ignoring the facts based on your belief or you dont like the idea god. Let me quickly correct you there are more than 4000 gods on earth men did not made them up they are spirit beings. Men are ignorant of who they really are. I dont know the area you grew up, there are gods in every country. Like i expect from an atheists like you anything out of the ordinary is either false or bullshit. You have heard of charms before that defies logical reasoning, one of the common charm in my area is gun charm, if you are shot it bounce off the body. There are gods in India, America, England Togo everywhere in the world. From generation to generation people have gave different encounter with them. But of course from your own perspective they are all delusional. Atheist is the worst religion on earth it is based solely on denial and manipulations, although they have no firm belief on anything they try to flaw other religion to make themselves right. The boost and brag that they uses logic or common sense to analyse facts and free themselves from religious bondage but in reality they drown in the world of denial and disbelief. If asked i do the world came into existence they quickly refer u to the bible to make up for there empty words. Imagine saying the universe as always been because religious people talk about god. If u say the universe as always be is this not belief and not common sense. And if i tell u people uses charm to fight communal battle in my state where bullets bounce of people chest would u not term me delusional and disbelief my claim. Everything out of the ordinary is rubbish to an atheist but i always ask them a very simple question, i ask u now dont hide under i dont know, without referring to any religion how do you think the universe came into existence using your common sense that atheist brag about, and do you think countless billion of people world wide that talk about gods (spirit beings) are all delusional? 1 Like |

walls01:Actually, I'm ignoring the beliefs and anecdotes you called fact because you have not provided a single evidence for all your claims Let me quickly correct you there are more than 4000 gods on earth men did not made them up they are spirit beings.OK, spirit beings that also existed out of nowhere? All claims and no proof. Talk is cheap you know? But go on... Men are ignorant of who they really are.But you aren't because god spoke to you and you think you fantasies must be everyone's shared reality. I dont know the area you grew up, there are gods in every country. Like i expect from an atheists like you anything out of the ordinary is either false or bullshit. You have heard of charms before that defies logical reasoning, one of the common charm in my area is gun charm, if you are shot it bounce off the body. There are gods in India, America, England Togo everywhere in the world. From generation to generation people have gave different encounter with them. But of course from your own perspective they are all delusional.If bullet charm works, why not sell it no people that need it most - like Nigerian army fighting boko haram. But of course, this is not possible because it is one of those claims b base on hearsays. Why is it that anything extraordinary that we can't explain becomes supernatural or juju? Imagine a situation where we go back in time and bring those who existed 500 years ago. They will think mobile phone technology is juju. The fact that people round the world believe in juju doesn't make it exist. After all, the world once thought the earth was flat and it was taken. If gods exists, must someone tell you about them? It is only an idea made up by man that needs man to propagate it. Or how come your god only existed in the middle east for thousands of years until Europeans suddenly started telling us lie. If our parents didn't indoctrinate us too, we wouldn't know about god. You can see you know little or nothing about other gods except yours because your parents didn't teach you about them. Atheist is the worst religion on earth it is based solely on denial and manipulations, although they have no firm belief on anything they try to flaw other religion to make themselves right. The boost and brag that they uses logic or common sense to analyse facts and free themselves from religious bondage but in reality they drown in the world of denial and disbelief. If asked i do the world came into existence they quickly refer u to the bible to make up for there empty words.Atheism is a religion indeed. I wouldn't want to debate that just like you wouldn't want to debate it when I say good health is a kind of disease. Come to think of it, if religion is that pleasant, will you want to rope atheism into it? I thought religion is what you folks are suppose to be proud of? Well may be you have realise the sort of delusional worldview it holds, and that's just a good start. Imagine saying the universe as always been because religious people talk about god. If u say the universe as always be is this not belief and not common sense.I never said the universe has always been. I only ask why you think so about god and not the universe and i'm glad you agree saying the universe has always been is just a mere belief and not common sense. Same also applies to god. And if i tell u people uses charm to fight communal battle in my state where bullets bounce of people chest would u not term me delusional and disbelief my claim. Everything out of the ordinary is rubbish to an atheist but i always ask them a very simple question, i ask u now dont hide under i dont know, without referring to any religion how do you think the universe came into existence using your common sense that atheist brag about, and do you think countless billion of people world wide that talk about gods (spirit beings) are all delusional?I'm not as dishonest as you are. I don't know. I'm a human with limitations and must not know everything. Everything out of ordinary is not rubbish to me like you claimed. I try to rationalize them and arrive at a logical conclusion. Many inventions wouldn't have been possible if we had attributed everything we can't explain as supernatural. Check out how things like x-ray and microwaves were discovered. It was some simple experiments that the inventors started discovering extraordinary things. They didn't throw up cheap answers by saying it was caused by god, demons, ghost or anything supernatural. They kept working till they moved from I don't know to I now know. But for the case of god, we were taught to started believing even before we were able to read or know what the world is all about |

GOD speaks truly. HE speaks in many ways. He speaks through the Bible. (If there is an answer to your request. He'll just give you the passage and you checking, you'd be surprised) HE speaks to you physically 1. (If your heart is pure enough for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you, He'll talk to you in a flash but that what HE said in a flash, you can spend minutes saying them) HE speaks to you physically 2. (If you are very close to GOD, and you have enough time for prayer, the Holy Spirit dwells in you and will communicate to you in a still small calm voice. This way [in my personal experience] I could sense three voices but each voice playing a different role.) HE speaks to you in the dream. (This is a general way GOD speaks to anyone. Making you know things to come, things that has happened in the past or about to happen in the future) HE speaks to you through HIS servants. (Preachers and ministers but I mean the real ones) All the above are based on personal experiences and the language HE used in the dream and physically 2 is English. Others is in my native dialect. So GOD speaks for real. |

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. John:9:35-38 And also this. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? John:10:30-33,36 |
