Logicboy03: Inesqr is a pseudo-intellectual. Pseudo-intellectual? That's not even as bad as you make it sound. It is better than being a non-intellectual. Unfortunately for you and your friends, I have a business to run. Toodles, à tout à l'heure |

mazaje: lol.......Inseqr has nothing to argue here. He was being overconfident after being praised for some of his posts. A slave is a slave. Slavery was worse in the bible. Imagine being a slave to a barbarian Jew that killed children if they disobeyed their parents or thought it sensible to stone people who didnt observe the Sabbath |

mazaje: I don't believe that it is courtesy that's preventing you from stating exactly what facts I denied. Taken literally, there is nothing in the OT myth that can be described as approaching 'love'. The old testament is a racist diatribe glorifying the imagined trials and tribulations, as well as genocidal rampage of a single group of human beings. The only justification it offers for itself is that this group of human beings are somehow more 'significant' than any other group of human beings by some divine authority they alone cooked up. And all this is not your invention how? Now, ignoring that virtually none of it actually occurred as described as it relates to actual and real history , even if we gave it the benefit of the doubt it would still be a violent and racist series of 'stories'. So what exactly is supposed to be love as uyi has been asking you since? I don't see how your describing the OT as a "violent and racist series of stories" makes it so. Funny that you say that Uyi has been asking me what love is supposed to be considering that what he has been saying is only that the Christian God is not loving. Perhaps it really is you who want the answer to that question. Is it? Notice that you don't really offer any true explanation as to how it is love or exactly what is love to uyi, you instead just reduce your answer to a single pleaded statement,"god is a loving god." and you expect uyi to accept it with out showing how. For someone who claims to have been following my "hogwash", it's rather curious that you say I reduce my answer to "god is a loving god". Because I most certainly have so far said nothing like that. My comments have been focused on the validity of Uyi's arguments. In effect, I have been consistently saying that the assumptions that led him up to saying that God is not a loving God are worth examining. If they prove to be false, the arguments built upon them become questionable. Has all you have written down tell us how any of the OT show any bigger picture? No. And this is relevant how? Does it tell us why?No Why what? Does it even reasonably offer any explanatory information whatsoever beyond the self reinforcing platitude? No. Well, I have been doing what Uyi's post demanded: an examination as to the truth of the claim that Yahweh is not a loving God. The self-reinforcing platitude you're on about is news to me. I'm not even sure you're really referring to my activities with respect to this discussion with Uyi. What exactly are you on about?. . . The exact same question I have for you. |

@Uyi, I will not be available on nairaland this coming week. But I'll take on what answers you have for me at the coming weekend, God willing. However, allow me to point one very crucial thing out in matters of this sort. To call God on the carpet is tremendous arrogance, but it does not mean that He won't answer. He will, He always does. But, when you play plaintiff, witness, judge, jury and executioner and even the accused all at the same time, what chance do you give God to make any kind of answer? There is a reason that we humans respect jurisdiction and talk of the rights of the accused. We respect jurisdiction because for each different catchment area, the peculiarities of conditions there require different applications of the law for justice to be achieved. We respect the rights of the accused because justice demands that even the accused caught in the act be given a fair hearing, who knows but that there's a perspective that the accuser is unaware of which had he known he would have recognized that no crime had been committed at all. If God will be docked, He must be docked in the appropriate court under the appropriate jurisdiction and authority. If He is accused, He must be given liberty to render a defence for Himself and He must be allowed the right to repulse every attempt by His accuser(s) to misconstrue His answer or defence. These are basic. In the charges you have leveled against Him, as I have said before, you have made assumptions. There is nothing wrong with making assumptions, but there is everything wrong with attempting to convict a person on the wrong assumptions. This is always why the defence is allowed to cross-examine the witnesses of the prosecutor and to examine the case of the prosecution. God Himself exercised this right countless times down the millenia that man has foolishly held Him accountable for all kinds of wrong. Many times, to answer man's questions, He asks a few of His Own. Anybody is free to accuse Him of dodging when He does so, but their freedom to do so does not make them right. He answers questions with questions essentially to tell the questioner that they have the wrong idea of things. Debosky referred you to the story of Job, that story and Jesus's habit of answering the questions of the "wise men" of His day with questions and puzzles will tell you that God knows that the best way to answer us is to force us with His Own questions to see the true state and meaning of our questions. A refusal to see this is why many so-called wise men in Jesus's day, before and after, have been blind to the Truth. The only man who can truly and rightly judge God is the man who is willing to be judged by Him as well. Till next weekend then if, of course, you're minded to continue this "inquiry" of yours and I am able to carry on. |

Ihedinobi: He has being declared wanted by the Intergalactic Cosmic Court of Gods(ICCG), and General Devil and his troop of demons have been deployed to chase him down like US forces did Saddam. He is accused of genocide, racism, infanticide, manslaughter, 1st degree murder, 2nd degree assault, aggravated r@pe, statutory r@pe and for being a nuisance to all the other gods and besmirching their names. But so far, just like christians and jews couldn't tell you his whereabouts, General Devil has been confused about his whereabouts too and the powers that be are getting impatient. The GREAT LEPRECHAUN has told me that ihedinobi's god is hiding out in the somewhere in the Anromeda galaxy and he has created a race of humans who frolick naked in a garden and he just blends in with them. |

Ihedinobi: Apart from the obvious irresponsibility in the statement that you and God aren't obliged to give answers (which isn't given the fact that you have to fulfill the RESPONSIBILITY of a Christian brother and God as the source and sustainer of the Christian not to talk of the onus on a 'loving' Father). I find your statement that you ask the 'right' questions condescending. It shows a CLEAR unwillingness to tackle my points prima facie. Of course, your shenanigans will be well remembered by me. Ihedinobi: Not quite, that our intellect derives from God doesn't exclude Him from our application to it. Even you partially violate this principle: you say my intellect isn't at par to scrutinize God on His actions and YET I can APPLY MY INTELLECT by asking God why He took certain actions. That is not to speak of the apparent inanity of saying that I'm guilty of saying God is not loving (given certain precedents) simply because God said so. Now I would like to know how whole families and towns being wiped out by God can be reconciled with the concept of God as loving. Ihedinobi: And indeed, what love is, and implies is generally understood. You can check a dictionary if it is unclear to you. And I need not appeal to any authority other than my intellect. Killing especially by a God who commands against killing isn't loving. I would like to understand what fuller picture it is God would show me. |

Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by UyiIredia(m): 8:43am On Mar 22, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: Forgiveness ceases to hold a grudge for the offence committed and witholds due punishment. Ihedinobi: Does this even begin to answer the arguments posed ? I think not. I am talking of massacres and you go on a long diatribe on God's providence and curses. SMH. Ihedinobi: This, my friend, is called apologetic gymnastics. Indeed, I'm familiar with that facile excuse that all humans were represented by Adam & Eve and consented to their choice. But the truth is, given the obvious fact that no one else apart from Adam and Eve, by coercion from the serpent, committed that crime, the punishment was to be for them only. Trying to extrapolate the presence and collusion of the rest of humanity with Adam and Eve on account of biological, genetic or psychological similarities fail since the presence of other beings is what counts. They weren't present and it is therefore -ILLOGICAL to attribute the sin to them. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by Nobody: 9:24am On Mar 22, 2013 |
Uyi Iredia: Lol. Feel free to remember what you will. You're also as welcome to my post history. My friend, I am not responsible to you, however much you may wish that I am. I am responsible to my Father. It is because He loves me that I love Him (it is His Love with which I love Him) and you. It is because you number among the people for whom my Big Brother and Captain and Father died that I care about you. I owe Him the responsibility of using all the powers He has entrusted me with to bless you with all the wealth of His Love, not you. If I owe you any responsibility, it is only because I owe Him it. As for Him, He owes you absolutely none. He loves you simply because it's normal to Him to love, not because He'd be wrong not to. There's nothing by which you can judge God right or wrong except God Himself. As for my arrogance, it's quite funny that you assume that I ask the right questions from the fact that I recognize the "wrongness" of your own questions. It doesn't occur to you, does it, that I recognize your error because I was rescued from at least one like it. And it is really funny that you assume that a refusal to address your points in their state amounts to an inability to deal with them. That is akin to a child's demand to be taken to disneyland without any thought for the trouble involved in getting a visa, paying for tickets, getting the right clothes for the weather and all the issues that the trip demands. How can I answer questions that are in themselves altogether wrong? Your questions are based on a multitude of false premises and you want me to accept them as they are and answer you according to such grievous errors? Not quite, that our intellect derives from God doesn't exclude Him from our application to it. Even you partially violate this principle: you say my intellect isn't at par to scrutinize God on His actions and YET I can APPLY MY INTELLECT by asking God why He took certain actions. That is not to speak of the apparent inanity of saying that I'm guilty of saying God is not loving (given certain precedents) simply because God said so. Now I would like to know how whole families and towns being wiped out by God can be reconciled with the concept of God as loving. My friend, your intellect exists for you to realize God in the material realms. With your intellect you interpret God in the material realms. That means that your intellect is only a tool, it is not the source of the meaning of love or even the meaning of anything. It is the vehicle by which man realizes the meaning of absolute realities in the material world. To assume that rather than ask God what love means, you can indict Him based on your intellect's conception of it is plain arrogance. And indeed what love is and implies is generally understood. You can check a dictionary if it is unclear to you. And I need not appeal to any authority other than my intellect. Killing especially by a God who commands against killing isn't loving. I would like to understand what fuller picture it is God would show me. The typical nonsense of atheists. And you want me to answer you like you're a Christian. Do you indeed think that dictionaries without any help originated the concept of love? Was it not human beings like you with their own questions and wonderings that created dictionaries? Do you suppose that your intellect or any other human one produced the concept of love? Your intellect is as much an authority on love as a car is an authority on travel. Just because it's been driven really long distances and gone to diverse exotic places does not mean that it originated the concept of exotic beaches. It can only provide information put into it by its operator. Now, of course, the analogy breaks down at the point where humans are sapient and cars are not. I can feed a car's computer with information about trips and destinations but it has no choice in the matter. You do, being human. You can let God feed you correct information on what love is or you can manufacture yours from odds and ends in a contingent reality and attempt to apply it all to a Necessary Being. Of course, the latter is really very arrogant and foolish. And, my friend, you still don't have what it takes to make me tell you anything. I am still not obliged to show you any fuller picture or even how to find it. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by Nobody: 10:02am On Mar 22, 2013 |
Uyi Iredia: In other words, the act of forgiveness treats the offence as though it never happened. Because if it didn't, due punishment would not be withheld, would it? Does this even begin to answer the arguments posed ? I think not. I am talking of massacres and you go on a long diatribe on God's providence and curses. SMH. What is a diatribe, my friend? You alleged that God laid harsh curses on the criminals in the Garden, did you not? And from there you proceeded to accuse Him of failing to love because He did so. I have only shown you how the "curses" were actually the ordinary consequences of their actions, effects that were produced directly by their choices in the Garden. That is, I have told you that God did not introduce something foreign in the chain of events by reason of His sovereignty, but that He only explained to each player what they had done to the game. And thus, I have debunked the thought that He laid a harsh curse as though He were reacting in anger to some personal hurt. As much as God has the right to curse and bless, He didn't doless than help everyone in the Garden then. This, my friend, is called apologetic gymnastics. Indeed, I'm familiar with that facile excuse that all humans were represented by Adam & Eve and consented to their choice. But the truth is, given the obvious fact that no one else apart from Adam and Eve, by coercion from the serpent, committed that crime, the punishment was to be for them only. Trying to extrapolate the presence and collusion of the rest of humanity with Adam and Eve on account of biological, genetic or psychological similarities fail since the presence of other beings is what counts. They weren't present and it is therefore -ILLOGICAL to attribute the sin to them. And my argument was that they WERE PRESENT and it is therefore LOGICAL to attribute the sin to them. It's up to you to show me how my argument is wrong. Saying it is won't do the job. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by UyiIredia(m): 10:17am On Mar 22, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: * The act of forgiveness doesn't erase the fact that the offence has been done. However, punishment is witheld as well as any possible grudge. I couldn't make it any plainer than that. * You talked about curses when the argument YOU quoted was about massacres. * No one other than Adam, Eve and the serpent was mentioned or present. It is therefore CLEAR that there were NO other humans in the garden. Pretending there where would be the height of bufoonery. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by UyiIredia(m): 10:29am On Mar 22, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: * By saying you aren't obliged you are failing in your duty to a fellow Christian. No need to flog the dead horse further. You have FAILED to sshow how my arguments in the OP are wrong and instead gone ahead to bypass otherwise simple and clear points which need no further deconstruction. * You contradict yourself. Because love is an absolute reality in the material world which the intellect as you say realizes and OTOH you say it isn't the source of the meaning of love. * You mean the typical nonsense you are spewing out - unquestioningly. For if you had no intellect, you would have no conception of love just as a baby who has yet to develop its intellect. Of course, you fail to answer the crucial problem of reconciling an all-loving God with massacres_which you deny_in the OT. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by Nobody: 10:45am On Mar 22, 2013 |
Uyi Iredia: I'm not sure why you seem very reluctant to see what you are saying yourself. The withholding of punishment as a result of forgiveness is because the offence is regarded as inexistent, never having occured, NOT THAT IT DIDN'T IN FACT HAPPEN. You withhold punishment when you have forgiven because forgiveness says that there is nothing to punish anymore. Is that not so? Or do you believe that it is true to forgiveness to raise the matter up at a later date, after saying that you have forgiven, and apply the punishment due for the offence? * You talked about curses when the argument YOU quoted was about massacres. The argument was about massacres and curses. I had given my answer concerning massacres in an earlier post and I said as much. Besides, I believe you called that part of my post a diatribe. I'm waiting to hear how it was one. * No one other than Adam, Eve and the serpent was mentioned or present. It is therefore CLEAR that there were NO other humans in the garden. Pretending there where would be the height of bufoonery. Lol. Just like it isn't bufoonery to imply that the concept of love originated with you? Now you say what you sayand it becomes truth, is that right? Maybe you really are God. My friend, the Scriptures themselves, if they mean anything to you, hold that we were all there in the Garden with(in) our parents. They hold us as responsible as they themselves were. I don't cite them as authority here because I don't believe that you regard them as such, but if it makes a difference, just say the word and I'll provide Scriptural backimg for what I say, my "Christian" brother. I have made a comprehensive argument for the stand that we were all complicit in Adam's and Eve's failure in the Garden. At some point, I hope you'll actually show how the argument is so obviously wrong and so much buffoonery. |
Re: Uyi Iredia Sees The Light! Denies the love of Yahweh!! by UyiIredia(m): 11:00am On Mar 22, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: * Don't stretch what I say. Instead of trying to bring up your own insinuations simply work with what I've given you. I'm willing to go no further. Forgiveness regards the crime as having taken place but witholds grudges and punishment. Simple. * No. It was just about massacres. You read it. * I never said the concept of love originated with me. Provide the Scriptural backing. |

Uyi Iredia: What fellow Christian? You? How have you proved that you indees belong to Christ and are no impostor? Or you insist that just like with everything else in this discussion you want me to just take your word for it, evidence be damned? You can type it a million more times and it still won't become true that I have not shown you how your arguments are wrong anymore than a blind man's protestation that he didn't see the stop sign means in fact that he wasn't shown and even helped to touch and trace it in Braille. * You contradict yourself. Because love is an absolute reality in the material world which the intellect as you say realizes and OTOH you say it isn't the source of the meaning of love. Lol @ absolute reality in the material world. And you say I contradict myself. Absolute realities are found in absolute realms, my friend and the material world is, by no means, absolute. It is totally contingent upon higher realms. Love is an absolute reality that is mirrored or reflected into the material realms by man. You cannot hence find Love as an absolute reality, or, in other words, its true meaning within the material world. You will only see interpretations of it there. And each interpretation is only as reliable as the fidelity of the interpreting medium. That means that a poor appreciation of the Absolute results in a poor interpretation of it. Love is the Nature of God and the intellect that grasps it best is the one most or beat engaged by God. * You mean the typical nonsense you are spewing out - unquestioningly. For if you had no intellect, you would have no conception of love just as a baby who has yet to develop its intellect. Of course, you fail to answer the crucial problem of reconciling an all-loving God with massacres_which you deny_in the OT. Is it nonsense because you say it is, Uyi Iredia? I am not at all challenged reconciling Love with your massacres. You are challenged seeing it. And what good would it do trying to paint a mental picture for you again when you reject my efforts with rather curious excuses - "this is called apologetic gymnastics"; "you didn't answer any of my arguments with your long diatribe"; the human intellect is infallible and when it says this is love, that is love"? I'm sure you probably won't recognize some of that as what you have been saying all along. You must think that God thrives on frivolous questions, my friend. ?D |

In any case, if you doubt I'm a Christian (albeit one with doubts and questions) feel free. * Let's say I accept this explanation you have proffered. Answer how a loving God is reconciled with killings in the OT. * Curious excuses or cogent points which you fail to heed and go on pretending to answer. Now you say I'm challenged seeing the reconciliation. I now offer you a chance once again. Explain in SHORT, SIMPLE terms how a loving God can be reconciled with OT massacres ? |
