SMH. Superman, Batman and Robin Hood are loving people but I don't believe in them. Am I stupid for not believing in them?

Ahn ahn! You implied that if he is looking for a humble christian in you then he is wasting his time because you are trash him. Didn't the bible say we should be humble? By their fruits we shall know them, isn't it? Where are the fruits of the Spirit in you? Why haven't you studied to show thyself approved? Don't yahweh exalt the humble and humble the proud?
he does not have a bible, possible does not go to church, possibly not a christian. I should expect any christian to know god despises the proud and gives grace to the humble

Since you can't read let me

Jeremiah 9:23-24 New International Version (NIV)

23 This is what the Lord says:

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,

24 but let the one who boasts boast about this:
that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord

No, it's not a waste of time please! Many are learning from this conversation! Besides, the person being spoken to will reflect someday, as Martinez19 has pointed out with this thread.

Always bear it in mind please that intelligent and wisely written words are never wasted. They are like good seeds that seek out good soil and even make rain fall so they can grow and produce abundant fruit.

you are right.

your brain. That is why chemical substances like drugs can affect your thoughts because the alter the networking of your brain cells. Remove the brain and there cant be thoughts. Infuse the brain with the right chemicals and you can alter the thoughts of a man

Lol. How does this relate to the discussion? HardMirror and I never said you should boast even though you were saying that you will trash me, that I am no match for you in biblical literacy and you would outdo any pastor I have met I my life. All what HardMirror and I were saying is that you should be humble. You are worse than butterflylion.

We don't need to tell you this. You should believe that the holy spirit is in you, that's if you studied the bible.

Wow! leave God and religion aside? You now want to assume the position of a layman?

I don't want to agree! Surely, I have something that transcends (yuk!) the mushy thing in my head called brain despite full well knowing that when that mushy substance is removed, brain activity stops!

There! "Brain activity" is the function called mind! Or is that incorrect?

Aha! "Activities happening in the brain"! Strong enough activity to at least accept it happens. Why say naming that activity is "meaningless"? Is the "activities happening in the brain" not meaningful?

I actually used the word meaningless because people actually refer the word 'mind' to be somewhere else rather than the brain. There is actually no location in the brain called the mind.

of course. As i explained before, the fact that chemicals can alter your thoughts shows that the brain is centre to it all. Same way everything you have the capacity to think about is a function of what your brain processes, what you see, what you hear etc. These are the data that makes up your thoughts. Without them what would you think?

Also notice you only think in a language you know. Eg english that is because that is what you hear and your brain stores. Parts of your brain can be cut off and you wont be able to think again. Go read about lobotomy

Can you scientifically prove that the mind is the property of the brain?

hahahaha. At the beginning he was forming boss, now he is running away. Since yesterday he could not answer a simple question now he is trying to deflect attention from himself. What a joke. Keep searching for your proof of god as creator. I know if you had it, you wld have said it since being the arrogant guy you are. But you are humbled now that you know you dont have any proof after failing to equate god with air

dont stress him. Lobotomy is enough. If he cant understand that, then there is a bigger issue here than just trying to get answers.

Any sincere person knows that lobotomy alters the mind. If that alone does not show that the mind is a function of the brain then such a doubter is not ready to be honest

Lobotomy affects who you are so much it is even called 'SOUL SURGERY '

Your brain is your mind nothing more

It baffles me that all atheists seem to fight against the fact that there is a Sovereign Creator which made the heavens and the earth. They don't go and show their "power" when it comes to spiritualists and other workers of the devil. All their strength is against Christianity. Embrace Him now, the time shall come when He shall gather His elects and all those who have vowed to remain in darkness will finally open their eyes but it'll be too late.

it is a two stage process.

1. Knowledge, getting a contrary argument to what you believe

2. Being honest to admit the bullcrap you have believed all your life.

Most people wont calm down to examine the counter arguments hence they never get to even be sincere to accept them.

We all yearn for the truth that is why almost everyone once wondered where god came from as kids. But we all kill that thought because we are afraid of the supposed consequences of questioning 'god'

I remember reading your thread about a year ago.
Glad to come across you again.
I was particularly fascinated by your story since you experienced God, spoke in tongues, even performed miracles. But along the line, some disappointments came that shook your faith.
Will you say, you lost your faith in God too early?

too early? I think it was even too late. I had wasted all the free time i had in university for fellowship and god. It is fascinating that i could not see that those miracles were never a function of god.
