Logicboy03:


When you were a christian and you believed that the old testament God was good, was that reasonable?

Guy, commot with your lies.

outc@st:



Olodo where is your argument?

Provie: Faith & Reason ar quite compatible. Faith proceeds from reason/logic. Here it goes:

1. there is a supreme being>

2. this supreme being can do all things>

3. all things include the impossible>

4. the supreme being can do the impossible.

Talking of evidence, havnt we (scientists inclusive) ever seen & confirmed sometin happen without reason/explanation?

Faith and folly are two different things, plz note!

J12: You can't have faith if you don't reason.

inspiredbyGOD:.:
A splendid afternoon to everyone.
I want us to have a discussion based on the title of this thread.
Is faith a negation of reason? There has been a great many number of people who over the centuries have claimed that faith and reason are incompatible but is that true? Do religious beliefs fly in the face of all reason? Let's consider this: [b]there have been many strongly held scientific beliefs that have been proved to be wrong [/b]but that doesn't necessarily mean that all scientific beliefs are wrong or are not based on reason. Why then do we have to view religious beliefs any differently?

Abu Mikey: Dunno what to say actually!!!....*Moving out of rhe thread in shame*

Krucifax:
In summary Faith is good for society as a whole

If we did not have faith systems the world would be a wild and dangerous place as people would have no fear of karma and repercussions.

PAGAN 9JA:

Riba_man: Of course, yes!
Faith and reason are in deed very compatible!
This was the main thrust of the teaching, research and faith of the scholastic philosophers.
Even in Classical Islam, there was a huge leaning toward the unicity of Faith and reason. The period in question is the great apogee of Islam in human history.

loswhite: exactly how underdogs react. Always picking up fight with their superiors Js to get noticed...... Well I've noticed. You really nid help

Nwapst: OP, Faith and Reason are direct opposite of each other. The word of God made us to understand that He uses the foolish things of this world to confirm His wisdom. Abraham against hope and reasoning believed in hope and it was counted for him as righteousness. I maintain that we are not wise enough to reason the things of the spirit. Faith always sounds and look unreasonable because it is spiritual, but yet it works. The word works.

ghananotnaija: With Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, who needs reason? All I need is Jesus.

daz_york:

Well you come from Africa's 2nd largest Uncle Tom republic so no surprises there.

ghananotnaija:

Uncle Tom? Ghana is the first black African nation to gain independence.

trolling: the question is where does reason come from or who gave you reasoning,or what makes you think,you have reasoning capabilities...answer this questions and let me see what reason you gat

PAGAN 9JA:


STOP BEING RACIST! YOU GUYZ WERE ENSLAVED BY CHRISTIANS! TUFIA!

SHAMELESS! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE GREAT PAGAN EMPIRES OF THE AKAN/ASHANTI CONFEDERACY?!

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE SACRIFICE OF QUEEN-MOTHER YAA ASAANTEWAA AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS?!

christianity truly makes people forget. .

ghananotnaija:

It is you who are brainwashed. Jesus was black. The Jews of the Bible were black. The land of Canaan was Northeast Africa, because Canaan was the descendent of Ham. Get YOUR facts straight.

Christianity is the original religion of Africa. SAY NO TO PAGANISM.

Krucifax: The problem with Faith is that it's very foundation are a paradox! And every faith by that notion is actually unreasonable!
Think about it for a moment.

Questions:

1. What is your faith?(i.e religion)
2. Does your faith not teach you that salvation(paradise,heaven,etc)is only via it's adherence?
3. How did you come to believe in your faith? (i.e religion)
4. How can you prove that your faith is the only way to salvation?

Answers:

1. Your faith is irrelevant all peoples of belief have different concepts of it,so how is one better than the other? Is it by who came first? Is it by their doctrines? They all teach goodness and moral principles and life after death!
So which is better,or truer or the correct one? If none of them is,does that not mean that none of them really matters?

Buddhism was founded in 520BC long before Christianity in India
Christianity was founded in 30AD in Israel
Confucianism was founded in 471BC in China
Islam was founded in 622AD in Saudi Arabia
Jainism was founded in 550BC in Eastern India
Judaism was founded in 1300BC long long before Christianity
Sikhism was founded in 1500AD
Taoism was founded in 550BC

2. If you are reading this,there is a 99% chance that if you believe in a faith system it is simply because you where born into a family,community or society that practices the faith of your belief! If your where born somewhere else in under different circumstances and faith, chances are you would be a believer of a different faith. Fact!

In summary Faith is good for society as a whole,it gives people things to strive towards and helps keep human behaviour in check and under control to a great degree. If we did not have faith systems the world would be a wild and dangerous place as people would have no fear of karma and repercussions. But ultimately faith is a construct of the human mind by men with greater intellect than their peers. It was reason not faith that brought us advances in medicine,science,technology and generally every field of human endeavour.

In the end reason and not faith is the ultimate arbiter of truth! But faith is good to have around as we were not all born equal!

Banjoramos: christianity was founded in Isreal if so why thr is no christian in Isreal again today cos christian in israel wr call arab christian and isreali doesnt even bliv in christ so dnt tell ppl abt wat u dnt knw
