BraveGuy: EVERYTHING!

The elusive particle is the SPOKEN WORD of God.

The SPOKEN WORD of God seems to be many things these days.

BraveGuy:

Show us your proof, these people showed some proof of what they saw.

Show me their proof and I will show you my proof.

BraveGuy: She is no more 8. I think she's now 20.

Were you aware that another 4-yr old, Colton Burpo, (a movie just came out recently titled, "Heaven Is Real", confirmed that the painting is the face the Jesus Christ he saw when he visited heaven?

Are you trying to say all these children are liars, revealing things that they were not informed of or told? As in the case of Colton Burpo who, at the age of 4, revealed to the mum that a "baby died your tummy", and describing the sister who he saw in heaven or his grandad?

Friends, these are more than made-up stories or imaginations of children.

Yesterday I swear I saw a pig breathe fire.

UyiIredia: I do. I usually note that evolutionists typically paint skeptics of the theory as not understanding it. This is naive. I might as well say you dont understand the Bible just for being skeptical of it.

Where was I skeptical about the Bible?
Anyway what you describe is probably anarchy, not evolution.

UyiIredia: You want to do good because you have a conscience God has put in you. it is naive and ignorant to_well!_ignore that. I must always wonder of what evolutionary value doing good is. It will be better for me, for example, to kill you and steal your things from an evolutionary standpoint. But i won't do that. i have a conscience and a purposeless and dead universe cant make a pool of DNA talkless of conscious human being even in a zillion years.

You'd best rethink your atheism.

You, my friend, have no idea what evolution is. You think you do, but you don't.

FrancisTony: Was the activity of early fathers programs, recorded in the bible?

If by 'early fathers' you mean early apostles, then yes. It was recorded in the a book aptly named The Acts of the Apostles.

MrOlai: MIRACLE OF THE HOLY QURAN:
Sea is mentioned 32 times in Quran. Land is mentioned 13 times in Quran.
Sea(32) + Land(13) = 45
Sea = 32/45 x 100 = 71.111%
Land = 13/45 x 100 =28.889%
Land + Sea = 100%.

Modern science has recently proven that water covers 71.111% of the earth, while the land covers 28.889% !

Oh dear! The level for your ignorance is only rivalled by the level of your arrogance.

I'm looking for the schadenfreude; I'm told I can find it here #BRAvsGER #WorldCup

cococandy: Here are some frequently asked questions for atheists.
Anyone feel free to pick any number and explain to me what they think.

1. Are you absolutely sure there is no God? If not, then is it not possible that there is a God? And if it is possible that God exists, then can you think of any reason that would keep you from wanting to look at the evidence?

Nothing without evidence of its existence is certainly or absolutely non-existent. However we do make certain decisions based on the lack of evidence of existence of some things (e.g evidence (or lack of it) in a murder trial). Therefore I would conclude (as at the moment) that there is no God due to a lack of evidence.

And even if there is a God, he/she has done nothing to revel his/her existence or to intervene in situations in a manner that leaves very little doubt that he/she exists. So for every intent and purposes, God does not exist.

2. Would you agree that intelligently designed things call for an intelligent designer of them? If so, then would you agree that evidence for intelligent design in the universe would be evidence for a designer of the universe?

This is a fallacy. There is no evidence of intelligent design. However, as someone else pointed out, we could be the product of some alien experiment . But like the Intelligent designer, this is just a fragment of my imagination.

3. Would you agree that nothing cannot produce something? If so, then if the universe did not exist but then came to exist, wouldn’t this be evidence of a cause beyond the universe?

Maybe. Maybe not. We do not have enough information about the origin of the universe except the fraction of a second it began expanding. Anything on this matter is just a matter of philosophy and speculation.

4. Would you agree with me that just because we cannot see something with our eyes—such as our mind, gravity, magnetism, the wind—that does not mean it doesn’t exist?

Yes.

5. Would you also agree that just because we cannot see God with our eyes does not necessarily mean He doesn’t exist?

No. Because unlike gravity and magnetism, we cant observe God's effect, we cant study God, make theories based on him/her and therefore make predictions.

6. In the light of the big bang evidence for the origin of the universe, is it more reasonable to believe that no one created something out of nothing or someone created something out of nothing?

The big bang evidence only tells us about the 'explosive' expansion of a 'primordial atom', as Georges Lemaître called it, but not its origin. As I said before, claiming any knowledge of the origin of this 'atom' is mere speculation as science as not provided any evidence.

7. Would you agree that something presently exists? If something presently exists, and something cannot come from nothing, then would you also agree that something must have always existed?

Makes sense. By the way have you heard some of the so called multiverse theories?

8. If it takes an intelligent being to produce an encyclopedia, then would it not also take an intelligent being to produce the equivalent of 1000 sets of an encyclopedia full of information in the first one-celled animal? (Even atheists such as Richard Dawkins acknowledges that “amoebas have as much information in their DNA as 1000 Encyclopaedia Britannicas.” Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker (New York: WW. Norton and Co., 1996), 116.)

Not necessarily, given enough time nature can produce billions of 'encyclopaedias'. You probably need to study more on evolution and natural selection.

9. If an effect cannot be greater than its cause (since you can’t give what you do not have to give), then does it not make more sense that mind produced matter than that matter produced mind, as atheists say?

What makes you think that mind is greater than matter?

10. Is there anything wrong anywhere? If so, how can we know unless there is a moral law?

This has to be one of the poorest question you've asked. I presume you are asking about a universal moral law. A law valid for all time and places, right? Sorry to disappoint you there isn't anything as a moral law that binds everybody. Today, due to globalisation, modernisation, and the effect of surviving two world wars, we have basic human rights and a generally similar moral code but even these rights and codes are not respected by every government or authority.

In history, the difference in moral code is as obvious as the difference in the geographical locations of different cultures. Most ancient near-east society practised polygamy for instance but in Nepal, parts of China and part of northern India, polyandry was practised.

Now I'm sure you are not planning on keeping you husbands at the same time. Oh the moral outrage!

11. If every law needs a lawgiver, does it not make sense to say a moral law needs a Moral Lawgiver?

Based on my preceding answer, there would have to be several law givers. All of them human.

12. Would you agree that if it took intelligence to make a model universe in a science lab, then it took super-intelligence to make the real universe?

No.

13. Would you agree that it takes a cause to make a small glass ball found in the woods? And would you agree that making the ball larger does not eliminate the need for a cause? If so, then doesn’t the biggest ball of all (the whole universe) need a cause?

Where did you hear the universe is a giant ball? (where did you here the universe has any shape?)

14. If there is a cause beyond the whole finite (limited) universe, would not this cause have to be beyond the finite, namely, non-finite or infinite?

15. In the light of the anthropic principle (that the universe was fine-tuned for the emergence of life from its very inception), wouldn’t it make sense to say there was an intelligent being who preplanned human life?

The anthropic principle is a philosophical consideration not real science. Not everybody agrees with it.

cococandy: Thanks for your quick response.

Let me start by saying I'm here purely out of the need to know and not because I have any opinion about what others chose to believe in or not believe in.

The atheist mindset is one I've found very intriguing. Maybe because many of them are smart (or appear to be smart)
For atheists in Nigeria a very outwardly religious and pseudo-conservative society,it must take a lot of courage to go against what one has been taught and made to believe all their lives.


So my first and second questions to you Mr Seun.
When did you stop believing?
Why did you stop believing?

When: Early last year.
Why: I began to realise we may just be replacing our own myths with the myths and legends of the ancient near-east.

I hope that helps.

tdcministry: The Disciples' Commission Ministry

This message is not meant to scare you, It was written in order to encourage you to live a righteous life; that is what the lord wants from you. it was in the night of a wonderful day, I was meditating on the word and teaching of God, while I was doing this, I felt the presence of the lord Jesus christ, this has been happening so many time; whenever he is around me, there is always a soft and gentle breeze blowing around me. I was contemplating on the lost souls of sinners who died without accepting Jesus and those who are still alive, but are living in sin. This was what I was thinking about when the lord showed me a vision, I will narrate the vision to you, but please see the positive side of it and do the right thing you ought to have done long time ago. The lord showed me multitude of people in black attire, they were all chained and the atmosphere of the place I saw was dark beyond the normal darkness we experience in the night; in the vision there were some demons that look like a ram with hairs on their bodies, but they have the status of a man, I saw some people that I knew among them, but this people were those who had died. I saw a young guy that I knew, he died as a result of sickness in 2013, I also saw some old women that I knew. While this vision was on, the spirit
of God spoke to him, that those souls are the souls of people that died in sin, but they have not been judged, he said they had been wandering around the earth but the demons that own them were the ones that chained them, and that they
are taking them to a place of torture and hard labouring. I heard the souls crying and wailing, I heard them saying that "ta ni yio wa gbawa kuro ninu igbekun yi" in english translation it mean " who will set us free from this captivity" this word was being said perpetually until the vision
was over. I was filled with fear, but the lord told me that the souls of those that die in sin will not be cared for, because they belong to the kingdom of darkness. The demons claimed that the souls belong to them, are you sure if the same thing will not happen to you when you die?
There is one solution, accept Jesus as your lord and saviour and forsake sin.
Do you want to give your life to jesus, first confess your sins before the lord and say this prayer.
PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO WANT SALVATION:
LORD JESUS COME INTO MY LIFE, I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER, FORGIVE ME O LORD, AND DESTROY THE WORKS OF FLESH IN MY LIFE, SET ME FREE FROM THE CAPTIVITY OF THE DEVIL, I KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN FORGIVE, THANK YOU JESUS. AMEN
Bc this message it is mandatory for christians to share the word of God.
