I am still wandering about God

God is the ultimate mystery. They told us as kids, 'don't wonder about whom God is, lest you sin'. But the more rebellious among us have always wonder in privy, who is God? I found God in Yoruba description of him: Olodumare, that is, 'one whose effort sustains continuity'. This name is the anchor of my faith in him. His name is wonderful, and perfect for situations.

We've all been children at one point, with funny believes to explain the world around us. Back in those childhood days for instance, whenever I see a new, fine bug by the flower, I would call my friends, eh, come and see the bug that God has just created, its beautiful. My ultimate wonder however is, how did people enter into the tv set? Did this bug you as a child too? Ahoy.

Great piece, but kindly break the post to subtopics to make the feed eyeful. Thanks and long lives Nigeria.

Ehn, so the rumour is... original? End shall never wonder!

Apart from riding tyres with sticks, i did nearly all of what the op mentioned. I had always wondered the joy my mates got from stressing themselves with those sticks and tyres, I remenber the tyres were always falling. **open kolo was also popular**

Sometimes you fight with the tyres too! The standing tyre wins after colision, and it becomes yours, but where to keep this booty is a problem. You look for a carcerol cover and iron hanger, good to go on errands all over the place in the sun. I fought mom for borrowing my kolo-money and not paying back. She'll say 'but its my money now'. I will cry 'no its the money I save!' Mom: 'but its my balance you have been keeping all along now!' Me: 'No its my money for food that I kept!'. My mum: 'Ok, who gave you the food-money?' Then I'll start the tantrum all over again, until she's fed up and promise to pay me. 'my husband, I'm sorry, I'll pay you 2moro'. ~Mama...I wanna take this time to thank you, for giving me love~.

I did all of these, then I worry so much as a child too. One day I swallowed Orange seed and ask my 'omniscience' brother what will happen to me, he said 'an Orange tree will grow on your head, simple' I was disturbed: 'how will I take bus to school with a tree on my head? I began to cry. I dont know days of the week then, on fridays the other kids would be saying 'lizard will teach anyone that come to school tomorrow'. This confuses me alot.

Dapo777:
So Adam is no longer the father of all nation?

How old are you first of all?

Welcome to the farthest extent of your wit. Bye for now.

Dapo777:
What about the eating of the fruit that made Adam and Eve realized they were naked,yet we still have tribes that move about unclad, are those tribes immune to the effect of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil or those tribes are not descendants of Adam and Eve? What do you think?

I have answered you earlier na. This story happened to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This other people, are they Adam and Eve living in the Garden of Eden too? If so, then we have a case of 'Adamic Piracy' in our hands. Please help

tpia5:
that seems a long way back imo.

you cant say your mum is from there, but rather, she has ancestry from there.

unless the ancestry is more recent.

Thats true, we learn something new everyday.

Your fooly is now apparent, you are
fighting a 'god that is created by the bible'
in the book of Genesis, isnt it? Without
bible, you won't have known anything call
God. I can understand your frustrations.
You have a very limited knowledge of God and of the scripture, but your utmost
obsession is contradicting whatever you
can't comprehend. Because Genesis' 6
days did not tally with 3 billion, it means
there is no God. I never read bible before I
know about the Creator aka God, so the mystery of the Creator is beyond human
(bible) description, the word to describe it
has not enter the lexicon of men. Bible is
the onalment of faith, it does not seek to
teach me geomorphology. Your obsession
is contradiction, not wisdom. The writer of Genesis candidly said, all 'secret things
belong to God, but what is revealed
belongs to us and our children'. This mean
some mysteries of God elude us, including
ancient bible writers, because they were
humans too. But you can be happy, son of Poseidon, laugh. If you like, cry.

Dapo777:
So your own obsession is that God created the universe 6000 years ago with rocks in it that are 3 billion years old. Tell me why I should laugh at you once more?

You can kill off the rest of the mammaids, but you can't kill the rumor. I am ok if they will forever exist as figment of the imagination, and ever will they exist in greatest tales ever told, of an underwater civilization waiting to be contacted. My children will believe mammaid exist, and yours too! I promise.

Dapo777:
Hahahahaha

Who told u I believe in an afterlife. You are the one who believes in heaven you should act accordingly. So you prefer life on earth than life in heaven?

Christians are the most confused set of people have ever met.


Someone who claims to believe in heaven is scared of death that would lead to heaven. What an irony.

I know that canticle has disappointed you already. Wetin conzine me conzine christian confusion and what you belief? Am I a tenant to your brain? Evict me, I dont need your brain to make my choices of what to believe. Afterlife? Its your obsession o! You dont have original issue, so you must squat with Christian beliefs to be relevant. Its not easy to start a new religion. It is a secular state, if you like tell it to the marine that you help created the world last week. It is possible, just chose any obsession and it may enter market and become a fad.

Dapo777:
He is making a good point. Why are Christians scared of death if they are So sure of making heaven?

You are telling the truth too.

Why don't you die to show them they needed to be bold? Life is a gift, if you don't like yours throw it away, so that

you can take up residence in the eternity prepared for those who commit suicide or chose to take chance with their life.

The devil is always asking you to "do it if you are convince you are a true son of God". Isn't this devil asking its usual questions?

Jump from the pinnacle of the temple at Jerusalem.

and said, "If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, 'He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.'"

Mattew 4:6.


Get thee behind me, Satan.

The Lord rebuke you.

What is false religion? Is preaching two verses and 'nobody wan' die' the ultimate creed of your true religion? Faithful madness.

Yooguyz:
2prexios, what do you have to say about what CANTICLES/BERNIMORE just wrote?

Canticle has a valid argument as to 'you are dust' and 'the dead knows nothing' passage. Thats the original hebrew cosmology. In the days of Christ, there were two parties, the Saducee and the Pharisee. One believe in ressurection, and the other don't. Christ was preaching ascention of the saints (he led captives in his train) and ressurection of the dead. But after Christ, the Hellenist churchfathers took over. They synchronize ressurrection with platonic 'myth of the cave', and since then, rapture replace ressurection: You can feel the creed with Islam too: 'Ina illehi wa ina lilahi rajihun' immortality of the soul was a Greek gift to the universal religion. Canticle is stuck somewhere in the old testament. But then Isaiah said 'your dead shall live...'

Such a bright piece. I've always wonder, this is the farthest point in the history of history in cosmic age. And the tenet of evolution is, change is constant. From classical source of evolution, matter is either evolving or disintegrating. Centuries gone by, has evolution shy away from nature? Not to worry, evolution has gone off nature and is now on textbook, fossils & minds, aha.

sinequanon:
The lay people, who do not understand the issue say this. The scientists who do understand the issue, don't say this, but keep a hypocritical silence.
The formal position is this: You don't NEED to invoke an intelligent designer in order to form a working hypothesis for diversity of life.
Atheists extend this to argue that, [size=18pt]IF[/size] there is no further insight by invoking an intelligent designer and the designer has no difference in effect, then we can ignore the existence of the intelligent designer, who is as good as non-existent. However, they fudge the IF, and pretend the ToE is a fact.
Scientists are nowhere near demonstrating that you don't need an intelligent designer. Most of their efforts are falsehoods, aimed at heading off biblical explanations.
To demonstrate that an intelligent designer is not required, it is not good enough to demonstrate that creatures evolve. You have to demonstrate that a random molecular model would achieve the evolution in the estimated timescales. Throwing large numbers around, like "we have billions of years to play with" is not proof. You have to measure that up quantitatively against what has been achieved and the maximum rate at which random mutation and natural selection can proceed.

And that seagull's name was Adam Seagull. The father of all seagulls.

And if I predict the name of the first woman Seagull correctly, you'll call me a Paleontologist. Will you? I don't trust you anyway.

NairaMode:
You are funny. This made me laugh; "Ignorance blooms to the surface". I had to laugh out loud so hard.
You now later said; "Are these your positions sir?". After you don abuse the guy finish.
However, what do you mean by; "possessing the minimum of intelligent comprehension?". I'm confused.

I'm immune to insults, I have stronger, dribble-durable enemies always. I have been a scourge to Darwinism on culture section where I told the pretenders that Evolution is a theory because it has not been (or cannot be) scientifically proven. The bolded is an example of double standard, they argue that no intelligent design was involve in nature, but look at the intelligence required to comprehend their story before its ever told. Survival of the fittest has been the mantra, but now, we are likely going through the theory from an advance remix version of it. Whats Evolutionary Source for IQ? Do you need Intelligence to comprehend unintelligent beginning?

You are in such a bad mood over the god that
you know does not exist, what in this world makes you happy? Even if God does exist,
your mood cannot tolerate knowing him, and your intellect is not fertile enough to see beyond your horizon.
Do I care if a god exist or not? I care, because life has meaning, and the environment daily maintain natural harmony. It is supernatural, beyond the power of man. I am
grateful to my Creator and the Creator of
life. I hallow his name in all languages. I am less concern about God's business, (omni-whatever?) I have
mine to maintain. I am not in a miserable state of mind
because of 'how men describe God' to me, I have good sense, I can
think on my own. My God is not a jobless God hiding everywhere, monitoring me and looking out when I will offend him so he can convict me. God is love. He has never complain about me to you, so leave me to him, then Stop feeding your imagination with anger, you are fighting the unseen, only mad people does that.

sinequanon:
Theory of Evolution vs Theism is a false dichotomy.

What I am really after here is for some Darwinist to demonstrate that they apply their own experience to their belief, and don't just swallow what they have been told (brainwashed with) -- by..

1. Noticing behaviours around them in their everyday lives, like the seagull behaviour.

2. Having the presence of mind to question it.

3. Asking how the Theory of Evolution applies.

No, there is no theory, its only an intellectual dogma. Someone up there tell you the prerequisite of grappling with complex theory of evolution, then you should know it's no longer summarized as a theory of 'survival of the fittest', a biological precept that it used to be. The God factor is ever present: Darwin's forerunner took on God too, so he needed God as leverage for attention and amazement for his theory. So his teeming followers will keep mocking God until they are silenced with superior wisdom, thanks.

Op, it is your fooly that matter the most. You read and choose your beliefs, you rely on the experience of others to conclude, you don't have any personal experience of your own but you have the final say? To prove the fooly of afterlife, die first, then come back alive with proof.

Weah96:
The day I see a Christian PRETEND that God exists for real, then I'll cut off my left hand.

If there was a God, the people who KNEW this for a fact would ACT like it.

They would NEVER tell lies, no matter how trivial.
Why would you tell a lie, if there are bigger issues at stake than keeping your job, friendship, marriage, or whatever it is you're protecting?

Your standard for the existence of God reveal your maniac. If you don't do all these even as atheist, you wont know them. If you do, how does it (situation ethics) prove or disapprove God's existence? Enjoy your atheism, it gives you all, relevance.

And if the theory of evolution fails to explain why I prefer Oha soup to okra soup, that means......that the theory of evolution is flawed ?
... should be discarded in favor of ....?

plaetton:
Lol.
Well sir, this is where your ignorance blooms to the surface.
First, the theory of evolution, just like any complex theory of science, is not quite simple to understand for people not firmly grounded in science, not well educated, and not possessing the minimum of intelligent comprehension.
Your statement assumes that all atheists are well-grounded in science, which in turn implies that all atheists are very intelligent and well educated.
Are these your positions sir?

If after concluding that my ignorance has bloom to the surface you are still asking for my position, you need to check what wisdom or intelligence and being well educated means to you.

Never mind, you can take the process with you, 'half done' when the trumpet sound, or cut the disvirginator if its stopping you from making heaven.

Wise one, please tell me what you know about mammywater and the beautiful underwater kingdom? Oh I love this place so much for what I have read of it. Please help, but I dont want to be disappointed. Whats mammywaters gender or, do we have bamiwater as the male version? Julius Berger captured a mammywater of the Niger before he could construct Niger bridge. Zuma has 'its' too. They are so adorable. Fish is so sweet, how much more, half fish half model?

he's a big brother,

He knows when we are messing around,
He forgives cos he has been there before too.

He's an old sage with bag of wisdom for everyone.
He know our frames that we are lovebirds.

have a nice day, zee.

Zeemoor:
Are you seriously serious or just trolling?
Where do you live, Niger Republic?

Haven't you heard of/seen bodies dumped by the roadside, bush paths or inside gutters, mutilated and their vital organs removed?
What do you think those individuals were used for, Otapiapia?
Whether you believe it or not, money ritual is real and people engage in it because they want to get rich with effortless ease

Thats true, the Soka saga comes to mind. @Op, I think you don't have to worry believing it or not, just pray you don't fall to their hands, those guys would have kill pesin without remorse, irrespective of efficacy of the jazz in question.
