Respect55:
Nice observation but u could be right and wrong

Until I'm proven wrong.

Wilgrea7:
hello.. i believe we've passed this stage of “evidence" of something beyond our capacity.. neither you nor i have any instrument for determining eternity or measuring it.. the best we have are logical inferences

The question that you have still not answered is, if God idea is beyond human comprehension, how then did you discover God?

zionmade:
. I am only concerned with how God did it for me and people like me.

What exactly did God do for you?

zionmade:
Go to d building i talked about u will bow ur head in shame

Do you have to result to gutter vomit?

Wilgrea7:
. just like a circle has no beginning or end... God is believed to have neither beginning nor end..

* a circle drawn by man, has a beginning and end. With naked eyes, this points can be observed. More observable with special lens.

*Since it's man, that relates with "circular God", men do know its (God) beginning of existence.

*God is an idea, that begin to exist in the imagination of early men (who were grossly ignorant and perplexed), and were trying to understand the cause of "mysterious" phenomenon like thunder, rainbow, fireflies etc, in their environment.

*men created Gods!

Wilgrea7:
.. God is believed to be existing... He is not believed to have begun to exist at any point in time.. so it cannot be said that He was created

*to say "God is believed to be existing....", is saying that you have evidence, that backs that claim.

*assumption that God exist, will be the most appropriate word.

U called Christ embassy. Yes am a testimony of that keep saying it principle. Wen i was a teenage who hit d street as early as 3am just to find money, passing through d dangers of d nigh, i kept saying am a success
Wen my teacher adviced me not to bother going to school because of no money i kept saying am a success
Wen it looks like things were opposite of wat i was saying, i kept saying am a success.
In University days in d midst of impending Es i kept saying am a success and i graduated as one of d best.

Go to blw uniport where a building worth 250million naira was raised by students of uniport. During the building period, students bought cars for themselves and bcame a lot richer even though they were constantly giving. I gave one of d most precious of belonging of mine and my brother got a job without application in d biggest oil company in nigeria. Parents do come to d church to testify how dat building project changed their family because of d participation of their children.
Where i am today was because i kept saying d same thing.

I dnt care wat u want to believe but next time do a detailed research before u utter Rubbish

*you just confirmed my assertions.

*are there not "sinners", who confessed nothing, but became successful? I guess tompolo confessed in the name of egbesu, to become billionaire via militancy.

*did all the folks that you claimed got testimonies, via their connection with your building, received money/job/house etc in the fashion that you contributed for your pastor/building ?

zed7:
Genesis 11:4 to 7.

Don't the world have a common language now?

*this shows that the bible is mere fictional work, that compiled the myths and superstitions of the Jews.

*this also confirms that, the idea of God, is built on falsehoods and childish thinking.

PastorAIO:
That depends on whether you want it to or not.

Perhaps we could say that an influence makes a minor effect while a Dominus determines the whole shebang.

It's humanistic, to perceive my "godship" as influence, than dominion.

Dominion connotes an illusionary sense, of relative position that's is Supreme.

St. Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Back in school, i observed closely, a group of Christians, whose church is named after the embassy of Christ.

These Christians, go round confessing thus;
*I'm rich
*money, i command you to serve me
*all the money in the world belong to me etc.

Because of these confession (as they have been commanded to keep "saying it", some of these students, sow their upkeep allowance to their fellowship, and in a more daring case, some of them sow their school fees. They do all these, believing that they are provoking their God, to make their confession come through.

Alas, these same students, comes round borrowing money from "sinners", and when they are turned down, they outrightly turn beggars.

Now, the above is just to show that, the very idea of giving money to get money back, is a religious gimmicks, designed to make you part with your money, under the illusion that you will get it back in fold (did you say MMM? Yes, you're a victim of MMM, and you don't know it yet).

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You give your pastors your money, because he said someone else will give you back in folds.

If you're thinking, it's only your pastor that received your money in folds (the whole congregation gave him money).

Have you been given money since? (your salary, return on investment etc, are not gifts remember that).

Whenever the wave of you being MMMed hit your brain, the neutralizer drug given to you by your pastor comes handy.

The neutralizer:

Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: FOR IT IS HE THAT GIVETH THEE POWER TO GET WEALTH, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Don't you see that MMM agents are more "godly" than your pastors?

At least MMM warned you to stake the gamble with disposable cash.

But your pastors, trick you to part with your:

*salary
*school fees
*money you planned to use in building house, starting investment etc
*your car
*your land and house

WAKE UP! the religious MMM is crashing!

Atheism (for the lack of better word) is mere lack of belief, in the claims of existence of God.
-Akintom

Atheism is neither a philosophical nor ideological nor conceptual position, but a "response position", to an untestable idea of God.
- Akintom

Atheism is the only antidote, for the basic instinct, of believing in the intervention of imaginary entities.

thesicilian:
6. They are highly delusional.

Only if you understand what that means.
Religious faith = beliefs against and without reason = clinical delusion!

GrandGarcon:
Leprosy is mildly contagious? Na where you hear that one? .

I wouldn't have bordered replying you, but for the purpose of health education, I'm doing this.

Leprosy is MILDLY contagious!

A visit to the leprosarium, will help your perception, to move from primitive bible view, to scientific facts.

GrandGarcon:
In fact let me tell you when you see a leprous person, my brother abi sister, STAY AWAY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE! YOU DON'T USE AN EAR WEAR AS AN EYE WEAR! OR ELSE YOU WILL GO BLIND!
.

2 Kings 5:27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

*of course, when you're been guided by the myths above, you will continue to believe in errors.

Britain is turning into a country of non-believers – with nearly half of us identifying as non-religious, according to a new study.

Whether non-believers describe themselves as atheists, agnostics or something different, they behave differently from believers – in a surprisingly large number of areas.

American research by Pew showed that atheists are more likely to be left-wingers, and more likely to support ‘progressive’ measures such as gay marriage.

But how else do atheists differ from believers? Recent research has highlighted some key differences.

1. PEOPLE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD ARE MORE INTELLIGENT

People who don’t believe in God are more intelligent – and this is borne out by dozens of scientific studies, involving thousands of American volunteers.

In 2013, a team led by Miron Zuckermann of the University of Rochester reviewed scientific literatore on religion and intelligence – and found “a reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity” in 53 out of 63 studies
Even in extreme old age, intelligent people are less likely to believe in God.

2. ATHEISTS ‘THINK LIKE PSYCHOPATHS'

Atheists tend to think in the same, cold-hearted manipulative way as psychopaths – and religious people are more caring, but less able.
Researchers from Cape Western Reserve University in Ohio conducted eight linked experiments to investigate how atheists and believers differed in the way their brains operated.
The researchers now believe that there are two ‘networks’ in the brain – one devoted to cold, analytical thinking and one towards more social, ‘moral’ thinking.

Atheists ‘push aside’ the more social way of thinking – and in the process become more prone to self-centred, impulsive behaviour, typical of psychopaths.
Religious people push aside analytical behaviour – meaning that, as previous studies have shown, they tend be less intelligent.

3. ATHEISTS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR FAR LONGER THAN YOU THINK

University of Cambridge academic Dr Tim Whitmarsh claims that atheism flourished in societies like ancient Greece and pre-Christian Rome – societies with many Gods.
Not only that, it wasn’t seen as immoral, he says in his book Battling the Gods.

Whitmarsh says, ‘We tend to see atheism as an idea that has only recently emerged in secular Western societies,”
‘The fact that this was happening thousands of years ago suggests that forms of disbelief can exist in all cultures, and probably always have.’

4. RELIGIOUS CHILDREN ARE ACTUALLY LESS KIND THAN ATHEIST CHILDREN

Many parents believe that a religious upbringing will help their child become a good, moral person – but that might not be the case.

University of Chicago researchers put 1,170 youngsters from Christian, Muslim and atheist backgrounds through psychological tests.

They found that religious children were less likely to share, and more likely to judge and punish others – based on a game where children were offered the chance to share stickers with others.

Interestingly, religious parents BELIEVE their children are empathetic and sensitive – but it is not true.

5. ATHEISTS ARE BETTER AT SOLVING PROBLEMS

Religious people and other believers in the supernatural (yes, that’s you, astrology fans) are less likely to understand ‘how the world works,’ according to a Finnish study.

Researchers asked 258 volunteers about their religious belief – and found that believers were less able to solve simple physical problems, such as rotating objects mentally.

They were also less scientifically knowledgeable – and a little prone to thinking that objects such as flowers are able to think.

For instance, believers are more likely to agree with statements such as, ‘stones feel the cold’.

firstking01:
If you are not a christian i see no need for posting this....



And secondly, you are spiritually deluded....faith has levels....not all christians have faith to pray for supernatural healing....i 'll delibrately stop here cos i don't wanna even go into my own healing experiences....and lest i forget, stop reading the bible with a reprobate mind so not to attract a curse to yourself.

Do you really understand your Bible?

GrandGarcon:
They were quarantined, any clothing that they used are burnt, even the house is destroyed usually with fire so as to prevent the bacteria that cause leprosy from spreading and infecting other people, today it might seem as nothing to yo but even now, millions of people don't know much about leprosy let alone thousand years ago.

*leprosy is MILDLY contagious. It doesn't require ANY of the outrageous precautions you listed. That reminds one of ebola.

*worshipers of Yahweh, did all that because of the fear of Yahweh. Because Yahweh had deceptively threaten, that he's capable of cursing with leprosy.

*the bible folks, NEVER knew that bacteria is the cause of leprosy. They only knew it occurs, when God places curse.


Your Bible is perfectly ignorant of science.

GrandGarcon:
, also how to handle cases of leprosy. .

How was leprosy handled?

GrandGarcon:
True science and Bible ALWAYS agree. There are at least three or four instances.

True science \\ Bible

Can we have the instances?

Blogthug:
intelligence isn't relative to humans, other animals have been shown to be highly intelligent

* Yes, intelligence is a biological concept, and is relative in humans.

The above, has no connection with your remark.

PastorAIO:
Possibly… anyone who has any dominion over any part of the universe no matter how small is a god.

Is the operative word "dominion" synonymous with "influence"?

Please note!

my familiar moniker akintom is banned at present. This is my alternative moniker.

Deicide:
No i don't think intelligence can be increased.

INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including as one's capacity for logic, understanding , self-awareness , learning , emotional knowledge , planning ,
creativity , and problem solving . It can be more generally described as the ability to perceive information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

- Wikipedia

Based on the above definition, intelligence can be increased.

Deicide:
it can only be worked upon so the person might seem more knowledgeable but this doesn't mean the IQ increased or anything. .

Not "seem", it can be objectively established. Knowledge is a component of intelligence, and not intelligence itself.

IQ test is an objective means of ranking intelligence. And it's realistically valid.

Deicide:
and by the way intelligence by IQ is how fast someone can understand something and then retain the information.

No, IQ has a more grand assessment function than your description. Pls check it out.
