Wow..congratulations! But never understood the pre-eminence of life and all things grin

Yea, I've been studying biology for most of my adult life.

And FYI, there's nothing wrong with not knowing something. It could be that you don't have access to the information. Or that you don't understand it. Or the information may not even exist at all.

What's wrong is simply making up a co:ck and bull story to serve in the stead. That's wrong.

End time doctrines...don't be deceived soon they would brain wash you with stories that their is no God. All these gods/deities you are talking of where is their story? Forgotten, you are actually meant to follow something lasting and real. For example you don't expect to keep going to a tailor because he is older, you would go for a more skillful one. Summary: God is real, Jesus is real and the Holy Spirit is very much effective. Millions can attest to that

“The Bible is a VERIFIED PLAGIARISM of ancient
Egyptian texts, namely the Book of the Dead, the
coffin Texts, the Pyramid Texts and the
heiroglyphs themselves. Nearly EVERYTHING in
Christianity can be traced back to ancient Egypt
including and especially the story of Jesus Christ.
The Book “Christ in Egypt: the horus-Jesus
Connection” uses nothing but the PRIMARY
sources that I’ve mentioned and details the Jesus
plagiarism and thousands of other parallels.
Educate yourself. READ IT.”
My question is the following — does anyone know
if the information is as claimed, verified, (or not)
and if so could you direct me to a website with
the viable information. Figured you advocates of
truth might know a thing or two about this.
how many of this gods have you encounter ? Cause i have had a personal relationship with God.on many occasion,whenever am in trouble in my dream, a lamb always saved me, not one,two or three time. Many times,jesus is the lamb, christianity will always have enemy.

The lamb saves you in your dreams which means that a virgin did give birth without human semen, and a man allowed himself to be killed only to resurrect himself three days later.

Remember that for something to be copied from somewhere there got to be original, in other words if you cant provide us with original then you need to zip it lipsrsealed..@bolded

Your myopic sense of reasoning cant be regarded as the well and thoroughly educated and liberated mind.

If you were into real natural science then you should know that there is God sad

First thing first, learn to communicate instead of using insulting words. That's not considered a good education. Well, originality is not the same thing as it being true. All lies have origins. The original liar knows he lied but to those of us who don't have the facts will take it as truth until we are able to find empirical evidence to either disprove the "original" lie or otherwise. So, to be original does not say anything about it's veracity. The Egyptian religion that christianity copied heavily from is considered original by most historians and also evidence from ancient texts and archaeology support its authenticity, at least to the people of that era. The question is not whether there's God or not. Nobody will complain about religions or even question their authenticity if they have the right effect on the society. So many promises but little to show for it. In most religious texts, you read about the fact that the most important law is the law of love and that all believers should ensure they promote justice, equity and harmony in their society. These things are only spoken about, often with gravitas, but in practice nobody pays heed to them. Most christians, take for instance, only attend churches because of the promised blessings and the hope of heaven. People don't go to church because they really want to learn how to change and become good human beings. If it were so, the nigerian society would not be this rotten. So, you "serve God" out of fear of hell and not because you want to obey the simple law of love. Your pastors and overseers, seeing this weakness seek to take advantage of you and they through subtleties and subliminal messages make you surrender all your monies. You give them your energies, your sweat, and some even their bodies and souls. What has the society benefited from our supposed knowledge of God? Have you succeeded in making others richer and you in turn become depraved and desperate and disconsolate or the society is better because we are moslems or christians? This present society cannot move forward if we continue to act with impunity and fail to question all our intentions. One odd thing i see in us religious people is the inability to think properly. Your reply is suggestive of that fact.

Dont sweat it bro, christianity is not a religion grin

If u have the slightest knowledge of the real world u will believe in the supernatural and spiritual..the bible says:

Romans.1:20
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Hebrew 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Now that is faith for u grin

Why do we have to go to the bible or qu'ran to read up passages to support our claims all the time? Why can't we point to things in our lives as evidences to support the written text? What does that say about the claims in the word? something that's supposed to transform our lives, yet we have to be quoting texts and passages every time we are cornered. The same word states that "by their fruits you know them", where are the fruits? We are good at talking but in deeds we are like lame ducks. Truth alone can't stand until we are able to practice it. Keep your bible and start doing. Keep your qu'ran and start doing. Start living folks!

They think they are wise...infact an intelligent person wont disregard the existence of a creator(God). Only The laws of uncertainty is a big stumbling block for them grin

@BossTtdiamonds dont go that far jare! That dude does not understand biogenesis.

The only thing that matters is our own existence. If we can prove our own existence and know all that we need to know, then we will know all things. We can't know things that require resolution greater than the most powerful microscopes to observe their presence until we become the microscopes. Religions and folks should stop arguing about God and deities and focus on knowing more about ourselves and the world we live in. This planet does not exist in vacuum. I have a strong believe that if we all come to know all that we need to know about ourselves and the world and act accordingly (changing our attitudes to reflect principles and natural laws), we would come to know all gods, be it God, angels and all that we are yet to know. In a forest full trees as big as the oaks, the irokos and all powerful tree species, how can a miniature shrub claim to know everything about the taller trees? The shrubs have to shut the f**k up and grow up till they can boast the height of the tiniest oak in the forest. We talk about God yet we are destroying the earth, we are living lives of desperation, greed, anger, crimes, and all forms of vices. We have to first grow up and become pure like the deities we talk about or we want to know about. If not all these will just remain as unproven knowledge and our emotions will continue to undermine our positive intentions.

When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God. On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you." Before you look at the facts surrounding God's existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know him?

Besides, only dummies would ask someone a question like what's the difference between biogenesis and abiogenesis.

Religion, being what it is, cannot lead man to God. If anything, the mainstream religions have only succeeded in taking man's quest of higher knowledge backwards. Religion is full of politics and so many men of small minds. This constant bickering about doctrines and correctness will only succeed in widening the partition between us and the knowledge of the Almighty. What is written is far less important than what men do about the written and the unwritten. For man to evolve correctly he needs to be looking forward but religion is designed to keep us in the past, and people that never get pass their past can never move forward. Religion will not open the heavens to man. Fundamentalism and Jihadism are enemies of spiritual progress. Knowledge cannot thrive where religion rules the lives of men and women. Only very few amongst men are truly free and without the freedom to be what you are created to be transcending the limitations of the present ego dominated world would remain a mere dream and only talks on pulpits. I only see posing and bragging about how spiritual and godly we are but in reality all these posing and bragging are empty. Believers are only believers in words but in practice there's really no true believer; just junkies and religiously lost souls.
