Seun:On my primary mission, I'm waiting on your Go-ahead. On not being religious, I'll say it's the way and reasons for which some folks do certain things that define our distinction. Take prayers for instance, There are times I do it for 5 minutes, and there are times it lasts for up to an hour. But there are religious folks who want to always do it for 1 hour because they think it proves their seriousness as Christians, or they hear a preacher set it as a benchmark. You see some checking the time just to make sure. When I pray for up to an hour or more, it could be due to an excitement in my heart that makes me sing and worship God spontaneously for several minutes, thereafter I talk and even chuckle sometimes have a loud laugh in the course of prayer. I'll use phrases like "you know", that guy I met at the ATM this afternoon" and sorts. because it basically talking to a father. As a matter of fact, if you were my next-door neighbour, you may find it difficult to distinguish when i'm praying sometimes, from when I'm on the phone. So far, I see results, I continue. Or Tithing, I actually attend two parishes of RCCG. One on the day I have to pay tithe, and the other on most other Sundays. The latter uses customized cards which indicates who pays what, and it's a smaller parish where it's quite easy to figure that out even if you ignore to use the cards. I love to be anonymous when I tithe, and even in certain other things which is why NL is where I spend about 90% of my social media time, and I don't do Whatsaap. So the other parish is about a hundred times bigger, and they have tithe bags which are not customized. so I choose it, and even do a little above the 10% because my motivation is not just the cajoling I get from a Pastor. if it stops working today, I'll quit already. Fasting. There is a general one ongoing at the moment, but I am not observing it, and I tell whoever asks me in Church. I however have had some days before and during the fasting wherein I fasted. So the dogmatism, gullibility, hypocrisy and sorts which characterize religion are what I don't exhibit, hence my statement that I am not religious. BUT I LIVE BY FAITH. I am not saying that my own pattern is the best, and that others are worse off or inferior. I am only stating the pattern that works for me, which nobody else has to adopt. 1 Like |

awesomeJ:You have failed to answer the question. Before moving on, can we all agree that you don’t have any good reason for not being ready to accept Islam as being true if a Muslim gave you the same testimonies that you want me/atheists to accept as evidence for the truth of Christianity? 2 Likes 3 Shares |

awesomeJ:A typical "Christian". You are rolling in clay, you are getting yourself heavy unnecessarily. You are too focused on Earth (Outer) that you forget the Sky (Inner), you have even forgotten that you have wings to escape your ignorance. You started well by saying, God is an Eternal Spirit, with no beginning and no end. You said his WORD made all things but you couldn't hint on the nature of this WORD. Is the WORD separate from GOD? John tells us that the WORD is GOD itself. It is written somewhere in your Bible, GOD is the ALL IN ALL, in him we have our BEING. Why reduce God to a disadvantaged man? That makes him ugly. Atheism is the wilderness most seekers will have to cross to meet Truth, while religions like the one you subscribe to at the moment is the egypt-slavery you must fight (within you) to escape. And when the Red Sea divides and you cross, you may find yourself where Seun is. But don't remain there. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Seun:Which question did you want an answer to. please restate it for me to answer. I thought you wanted to know what I meant by me saying that I am not religious, and I don't think I failed to answer that. Maybe you skipped my last post. On why I wouldn't convert to Islam despite hearing an outstanding testimony, well the basic reason is that I am not being a Christian by virtue of anybody's testimony. I was born into a Christian home, that I didn't have any control over. But as I grew, I had learnt some basic Christian principles, and I apply them to my life without the features of religion which can be choking. So far I have seen results- Peace, health, wellness, prosperity, Joy, Success, excellence, hope of eternal life, which is the only thing that makes my existence worthwhile, etc. If the human existence was only for a hundred years with no afterlife, I'll sign out of it, it'd be a deal that's too shallow to be worth my while. |

LightSpirit:You're welcome, but no thanks. Here is what the devil does: 1.He keeps you an atheist; 2. You escape that, he gets you into a wrong religion; 3. You manage to become a Christian, he gets you into the wrong doctrine or belief; 4. You yet escape that, he pressures you to live in sin, despite your sound knowledge and belief. In the end those who truly stand right are perhaps just in the 95th or an even higher percentile. Which explains the scriptures many are called but few are chosen. Atheism and all of the other perversions mentioned above are not just the modern age trends, they were in people even during the time of the apostles, and that's no surprise because since the devil knew Jesus could have returned as early as that time, he wouldn't take any chances by having any delays in creating his perversion in people's minds. |

TomHagen:I didn't claim to have an explanation for the Samuel story I only said the spirit that Saul saw might have been one from God or the devil which took on the form of Samuel, hence the reason why Saul saw it as Samuel and why the writer of that portion referred to him as Samuel. I am not making any claims on the accuracy of that thought though. And even if it was really Samuel's spirit, that still wouldn't qualify as a reincarnation which he quoted me on. He also mentioned those whose rose at Christ's resurrection. For those folks, that was resurrection which we believe in as Christians. it's different from reincarnation, in that those folks literally rose from their tombs and walked around the places where they were known and buried in. Unlike the reincarnation stories most folks tell, where the tomb of the said dead remains unchanged and the reincarnated beings only appear to live another life in a place where no one knew them before their death. so try to see the difference. By the way I only mention reincarnation to explain the fact that you shouldn't try twisting people's experience they narrate to you with funny explanations. |

iamgenius: Here are the lists of what can cause one's failure even after reading very well for tests: 1. Psychological imbalance- she read well, understood well, got to the exam hall and began to remember the fight her father fought with her mum that morning, or the divorce suit her parents would go through same day, etc. 2. Bad luck- Got to the exam hall, did it well but his paper got missing physically by falling off unnoticed by the class rep or lecturer. 3. Loss of memory- he read well but exam tension took away what he as already stored in his memory. 4. Bad lecturer/Teacher: he asked her out, she turned him down. He failed her. She was rewriting another course. He told his friend to also fail her because she turned him down. She kept on failing. ...and the list goes on... No god, be it Yahweh or Allah, can make anybody fail or pass his or her exams, but human beings can make you either pass or fail. #FACT 7 Likes |

OtemAtum: Oh, great. How about for a course in engineering which stopped about 16 out of about 90 students from graduating in the session before your final year. Now, it's your own final year, you are to take the course, you're aware of how challenging it can be, you see those 16 students taking some lectures with you now, and you're aware what the course did to them in the prior year. Throughout the semester you made efforts at attending some of the lectures, and you went through a few portions of the course material and past questions. One day to the exam it was very clear to you that you weren't prepared to even scale 20% of the exam. So you spoke with some of the brightest folks in the class to have a tutorial organized for it the night before the exam. the exam would be for 8:30 the following morning. Now that evening before the tutorial, you had to be in church for finance convention, and against your projection, pastor taught for quite long. so by the time you got to the tutorial venue, you were surprised to see that quite a number of folks made it but you could only be there for 30minutes, as they were already rounding up. The next morning, before the exam, you had to be in church for early morning worship. And owing to how late you left church and a little early morning traffic, you got to the exam hall about 20minutes into the exam. In the end, you made an A despite your poor preparations, please tell me what factors made you score an A. Also note that in that very semester when you chose to pay the most attention to church stuffs, you actually had As in 7out of the 8courses graded, giving you thee best GPA in the class. And just before you think it's smartness or a lenient grading system, note that there had been semesters when you had 3.85/5.00, 3.27/5.00, 3.43/5.00, and at a time only about 10 students out of 85 in the class had a CGPA of 3.50 or higher. |

Seun, I can't beg you to repent and accept Jesus. Whether you believe or not, when you die,there's no transmigration(It's false) you won't be reborn. There was a time i was sick,very sick. I tried drugs,it didn't work. I had headache,sorethroat,malaria,cough,I couldn't sleep. Jesus,i could hardly turn my neck. I was hot, I lost my voice. I did away with the drugs and wished the world to end that instant. But Jesus healed me. A pastor prayed for me. I just felt peace. It was so unexplainable. Seun, Jesus is the ONLY saviour. If you don't believe this testimony,then i'm certain you won't believe my other testimony. No matter how rich you are,if you don't have Jesus,you are miserable! Ps: you are entitled/proned to believe this testimony or just ignore but this is my experience that's why talks concerning atheists don't move me. You haven't opened your heart to seek GOD...and except if you trying to hide it,there's something you are desperately in need of. 4 Likes 1 Share |

You will hear of a supernatural experience, and rather than paying the due attention to its narration, you'll get in so much of a hurry to twist it by bringing a comparison that doesn't follow.

That a spiritual world exist does not mean that this physical world is solely controlled by the species who live there. As a matter of fact, our own actions here have more impact on the spiritual world than how theirs affect ours. How about that? I have seen the spiritual world several times and I won't hype them, they are minding their own business most of the time.

awesomeJ: If this happened to 1 out of 20 spiricoco in my church, it is called coincidence, but if it happened to all the 20 spiricoco in the church, then I can start having a rethink. As a matter of fact, that brother whom you describe above is someone like me. Even when I had A's I had it when I was least prepared. I dont read for the whole semester. I read only very close to exam period and i still get A's in some subjects. It is my way of doing things. If i read from the beginning of the semester, I will forget what I av read before writing any test or exam. Now someone will see me and start thinking that I got my A's because of one thing, one thing. I pity the person. It's only I who know myself that I KNOW HOW TO ASSIMILATE UNDER PRESSURE WHEN EXAM IS CLOSE. The best thing is to discover yourself and follow it. Don't go and be thinking that doing church things is the reason why one bro somewhere did very well and you want to try it too. What if bro is just like me, who can assimilate within few hours to exams but can't assimilate when exams are still far away? I pity person wey wan copy me. He or she go just 'larimo' note: I have heard the lamentations of many church people who said that they did as the bro above did when they were in school, but they failed woefully and are regretting it today. In summary, we are different in the manner we assimilate. Some can grab within few hours while some have to attend all lectures, tutorials and still read overnight before they can pass. Some even can pass by mere attending lectures and listening to the lecturers without going back to their notes. IF ALL THE WORKERS, SAY ABOUT 50 OF THEM, IN A PARTICULAR CAMPUS FELLOWSHIP CAN MAKE SUCH GOOD RESULT AS YOU DESCRIBE ABOVE AFTER SPENDING TIME IN CHURCH ACTIVITIES, THEN I WILL HAVE NO REASON NOT BELIEVING THAT IT IS THE WORK OF A god(Yahweh). But if it is 2 or 3 out of the fifty of them, then it has nothing to do with any god, but the capability and the personalities of those people. 5 Likes |

OtemAtum: 1) The interaction btw the jungle and civilization is quite different from the interaction btw humans and spirituality. Humans were originally part of the jungle and are superior animal to other animals, Civilization evolved from jungles and it is the natural progression of humanity that have taken us out of the forest(jungle). Therefore, the lions and tiger cannot control us because we have restricted them to their current location On the other hand, humans constantly interact with spirits, and there is no empirical evidence to suggest that humans evolved from spirits. Except religion which you don't believe in Thus, your logic doesn't track 2) The fact that we interact with spirits like you have pointed out shows that we are constantly connected with the spiritual word i.e. having a relationship with the spiritual word. So how can there be a relationship btw the spiritual word and humans without us impacting each other? 3) I brought up the spirituality because I wanted you to use logic and science to explain its existence, since you have countered another possible supernatural phenomenon with logic. 1 Like |

I've been where you are bro, super-zealous, tongue speaking demon chasing blah blah blah......attributing what not to. Just an advice bro, make out time to watch Grey's Anatomy (it's just 14 seasons so far ), be open-minded about life in general and stop persuading people to take up your religion (most times it's counterproductive). There are 1000s of religions in the world and if yours is the best, let your life preach it and convince others. Peradventure you compulsorily need to 'win souls', come up with some super convincing facts to do so. To the best of my knowledge (facts) christians live, die, go through the same ups and downs of life just as the remaining 6 billion unbelievers. So allow the latter to stick with their choices....the almighty God gave us that much of freedom of choice (free will) if you will agree with me. |
