davidylan:

Its ok to say you truly have no understanding of the bible. This is an area that is in and of itself controversial to even those who claim to be christians and really requires much more detailed explanation. I highlighted that portion purely due to my limited time available to go into the theology on this issue considering i am dealing with an individual to whom facts dont matter as long as a pre-determined viewpoint is pushed.

1. Clearly Christ was always quick to rebuke error in His disciples, why did He refuse to caution them here if He thought it was blasphemous to worship Him?
2. There are several portions of the bible where Christ EXPLICITLY refers to Himself as the human form of God incarnate. Infact here is a case of the pharisees attacking Him for making such a reference (obviously they understood the import of His parables far better than the charlatans we have here today) - John 5:18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Note here the strange inference - it is quite clear that the Jews of that time UNDERSTOOD perfectly that calling Himself the "Son" of God was equivalent to refering to Himself as God. Now no one makes the mistake of thinking you are an equal to your earthly father right?

Here is another clear example - John 10:30[b]I and my Father are one[/b]. 31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33The 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.

You are free to plug your ears and eyes.

So jesus comanded all to worship him because the pharasees understood him as refering tohimself as god's son. i am lost in this convoluted logic. The point is that you were less than honest when earlier you wrote that jesus had commanded all to worship him and him alone, when clearly he said no such thing. Just be humble and admit your error.

davidylan:

Daft. Not only that, the above follows no logical train of thought.

Elijah prayed on mount carmel in the presence of the altar he erected to the Lord God not before Baal. You might need to recheck your reference scriptures before exposing your stupidity here.

STFU...How many altars where at the mount? Ok i agree...since you're bold and quick-mouth why not go to Saudi/Afghan and win them for the lawd? a coward eh?

True

mazaje:

Violent atheist? . . . And which atheist as ever advocated violence here on nairaland?. . .Your delusion is way too ridiculous. . .Have you wandered why Nigerian atheist are very open when they are in europe or america but hide their atheism in Nigeria? What does that tell you about the Nigerian society?. . .

actually it tells me a lot more about the atheist than the society. 99% of you here are shameless cowards... blathering on senselessly about atheist idiocy you barely understand from the relative safety of your PC screens. You can only speak in societies where you have a large number of fellow atheists whose opinions you can co-opt. I have never hidden the fact that i am a christian anywhere... even right down to the muslim heartland in northern nigeria. If i am killed for it so be it.

no, you are clearly an unthinking and largely ignorant idi[i]o[/i]t. The bible verses i posted are clear to someone with an open mind but closed to someone with an ulterior motive with no intention of learning anything.

ha ha ha. open mind, huh. you mean zombie-like like your fellow churchtians. Sorry sir, you have made a big fool of yourself today. dont blame me or any athiest. It shows how you pastors make up things as you go, just to cower,fool and con ordinary folks out of their hard earned money.
"Jesus commandeth you to worship him and only him.". big laugh
liar

simple question - you said elijah worshipped in the presence of baal when clearly the bible says no such thing. Do you agree you are nothing but a confused liar?
Another simpleton angry because his own mindless nonsense has been exposed.

Next time read before shooting off at the hip.

davidylan:

Daft. This is the christian religious section, unless atheists claim to be religious too... just why are they here? Can they not create their own section to pursue their evolutionary nonsense in peace?

what did the bible say? why arent you a proud missionary of the lawd in North Korea?

Mod but why? Please allow us to answer fools according to their folly oh e joo.

mkmyers45: what did the bible say? why arent you a proud missionary of the lawd in North Korea?

the bible is quite clear, Elijah built and worshiped at the altar of the Lord not in the presence of baal as you erroneously concluded. Why the attempt to shift the goalposts following your gaping blunder?
You shld be ashamed of yourself for lying.

You gat jokes it'll good to meet you in hades

what makes you think in your wingless cerebrum that you are not a fool? any thoughts about it? you aint even trying to be a christian

mkmyers45: You gat jokes it'll good to meet you in hades

well since you dont believe it exists, its quite clear you and i would not be going to the same place. Where is it again atheists go remind me?

I know, the usual atheist blackmail... harangue others, mock their core beliefs, insult the very meaning of their existence, call them illogical, deluded, unintelligent on a daily basis then come crying about how they arent turning the other cheek for you to slap later.

sorry, being christian does not translate to taking crap from empty heads who piggy-back off the opinions of others to make noise.

They go to Disneyland...MOFO

mkmyers45: and the altar made for baal was 10km away ryt? I wonder why the coward dosent want to serve the lord...

Now now boy, dont be daft here. the fact that the altar of baal may have been mere feet away does not mean elijah worshiped at it. C'mon now, surely you have a brain... use it.

mkmyers45: They go to Disneyland...MOFO

enjoy the ride there.

davidylan:

enjoy the ride there.

Yeah..way cooler than bieng dipped in1mil celcius of fire because your grand-father fell for a god trap..

mkmyers45: Yeah..way cooler than bieng dipped in1mil celcius of fire because your grand-father fell for a god trap..

surely you believe hell doesnt exist right? Why are you worried about the temperature?

Thanks guys for the posts... seems there's no need for me to reply davidlyans joagbatic twisting of the Bible he claims to believe....

musKeeto: Thanks guys for the posts... seems there's no need for me to reply davidlyans joagbatic twisting of the Bible he claims to believe....

no one has "twisted" the bible here. tired of fools who run up here, misquote, mutilate and deliberately turn the bible upside down then cry about others twisting the bible once their own deception, lies and illogical nonsense has been exposed.
Sure you shld not reply, you are the smarter one... better not to expose your own ignorance.

davidylan:

O thats for you to sulk about..

mkmyers45: O thats for you to sulk about..

i'm not worried, however i see you moan about it constantly. Surely you have better things to do?
