Existence is the property or quality that is being displayed or demonstrated simultaneously by an unlimited set of combinations and non-combinations or anything related to them such that it (existence) shouldn't be regarded as having a beginning or an end or both towards a sum total called the universe or anything else towards naming such an illusion.

Either the universe is a combination or a non-combination or what cannot exist.


A combination is something with a size that only displays existence when two or more non-combinations remain together.


A non-combination is something with a size that displays existence whether or not there's a specific combination.



This means existence can be regarded as the set ∆={...2,A,@,AB,A+B,AC+B,...}


A may combine with B or combine with C or combine with B then leave B to combine with D


Space/Time is the extent to which a combination or non-combination displays existence.



There's no limit to the extent to which a non-combination displays existence.


So, the space/time required for a non-combination to display existence has no beginning or end or both.




Existence is simply measured by space, time and matter. It takes care of all other things. With space, you have dimensions of length. With matter, you have energy and mass. And of course time takes care of motion.

Trying to equate your religion to Santa or SuperMan and using the exclusive opposition to yours alone as a crutch to assert the truth of your religion is dishonest at best.
Everyone knows the aforementioned are make-believe. Nobody has started a making assertions about the afterlife solely on comic book characters or Santa. No one has asked for political laws to be drafted to suit the belief in Santa. No one has tried to deny others right to life and happiness based on what they think Santa wants for the world. The fact that you think that comparison is logical is laughable.
But how will a scammer and rapist like you understand though

According to Wikipedia, you're confused.



The universe is referred to as all of space and time or the totality of existence......but that's an illusion so the universe doesn't exist.

Okay!
I'm that case, you can as well doubt your own existence too.
Are you in the MATRIX?

The 5 fold ministry has it's different roles.

The prophet reveals the mind/will/mysteries of and from God.
The teacher is the one who teaches the word of God.
The evangelist preaches the gospel.

Biblically people developed knowledge and faith in God in 3 ways;
1. By direct revelation/hearing from God either through dreams or theophanies (appearance of God or an angel)
Abraham and Moses heard directly from God hence they believed.
Jacob had a dream about God at Luz before he also believed.
The apostles saw Jesus directly before the believed in him.

2. By evangelism. By someone preaching to you about God. Now those who operate in the evangelistic ministry have the advantage of being used prophetically or as teachers but they are primarily evangelists.

3. But being born into a religion. All Jews were expected to believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Bro, let's leave this aside.

The doctrine of 5 fold ministry isn't taught in the Bible neither is the description you gave them.

I wonder what you will call people like Moses.

Who was called a prophet
And also a teacher.
A preacher of God's word.
A shepherd and pastor
And an apostle of God.

He must be a confused minster then? Abi? Please let's read Bible the way it's written.

I think it's rather you who simply wants to defend your argument even blindly.

If you're taking the first man to be Adam according to the bible, then it's ok to say he was not an atheist cos he had a direct relationship with God.

But if the bible is not the only source of our history, then it's safe to also assume the first man had no prior knowledge of a god hence would have had no belief in God.

Atheism is simply lack of belief in any deity (god).
It has nothing to do with whether you have knowledge of God or not.
Atheism simply means you do not believe in the existence of a God.

Atheism is a state that can be as a result of various factors;

1. Lack of any information or knowledge about a god.
2. Rejection of the information about the existence of a god. (Which is your own definition).
3. Apostasy as a result of losing belief in a god. Etc.

So boxing every atheist as the same is more of a misnomer.


Bro, you need to consult an atheist to help you address your claim about atheism. You aren't one and none of them here has disproof what I wrote. You will need a visit to at least one.

After that, you will need to edit what you wrote up there.

Which prophet taught Noah or Abraham?

They had parents Sir. Parents were custodian and communicator of the oracles of the deities to their children in ancient world. They primarily serves as voice of God to their wards.

Noah was named by his father in view of his God's plan (Gen 5:29). He must have taught his too.

Abraham Story commenced as a pagan. He had knowledge of deities even before he met God. They were prevalent in his time. He had a knowledge of the El. The reason he could obey his voice.

The knowledge of God isn't a mystery even in the ancient world. And it was orally communicated all through their ages.

Make up kè? Isn't it obvious if you read without the pre knowledge of the wrong doctrine you likely know about faith and Bible.

If you read with open mind as they do say about atheist, you will see that nothing was made up but just pure history.

Merry Christmas Bro.
I wish above all, that the true essence of Christmas find a resting place in your heart.

Amen.
