No Anas, you have not called me a fool at all, and I am not claiming you have. I would go even further and claim you will forever find it almost impossible to say a rude word to me. You might think it is your faith that would stop you, though note how it only seems to work with one single atheist whom you dearly find yourself loving! It must indeed be the power of God manifesting in you!

Now, to th above. You cannot possibly know what pleases God when it comes to someone else, for God might just have different missions for different people. It is as Christ said when John sent some to ask if he was the messiah, "the lame walk, the blind see, and to some the gospel is preached", different strokes for different folks see.

Do not be blinded by ones beliefs dear, for our actions are way more important than the thoughts that we hold in our heads as I have tried to show you with the Samaritan's parable, and as this thread itself testifies to. Those with Christ seem more antichristlike while we who are without, well....... Or do you really think God would care more about ones beliefs or ones faith than ones actions?

I advise you find out why Christ specifically chose the Samaritan for that parable. The hint is that according to the Israelites of his time, even the gentiles and dogs would make heaven before a Samaritan would since the Samaritans did not hold the right beliefs. It is like some Christians today believe Muslims would not enter heaven, yet there was Christ asking which one of them was more likely to, the priest and the Levite who both worshipped God, or the Samaritan who didn't but loved his fellow human being. Some who call "Lord, Lord" will gnash their teeth, scripture reads.

All said, you have stated your belief. You have however not considered what I said and which you claimed looking at would not be as I stated. As to I, an atheist, teaching a Christian how to behave, you are correct, I do no qualify. However, I look at you, a human being, and think I have not done too bad, or would you disagree?

Atheistically do I end with, the peace of the Lord is with you, just so my stance is not mistaken.

Oh yh But you use the words like thunder will fire you You are mad Etc Abi?

sisisioge:
Don't get too paranoid... She does it cos it gets to you. In fact, stop wearing yours entirely and watch how she complains. Then you can talk about the rule of never taking it off.

peteregwu:
Carry go, you are right on track.

budaatum:
By my fruit am I known, my dear, and not by mere words like "believe". I guess I can be said to be a James sort of guy than a Paulinite, I exhibit my actions, rather than my faith and let people see if my eye is dim or not.

budaatum:
As you well know, buda does not believe, nor does she consider 'believing' to be a virtue since even the devil is said to believe. You have claimed I "can never know the intricacies of being a believer", and you may be correct. I personally prefer to know than believe, as I see no virtue in what even the devil is said to do.[/quote[
I never knew that Buda was a 'She'.

It's your choice to make.
[quote author=budaatum post=68019200]Go and read any of the Gospels. You would find that those who opposed Jesus Christ also believed, but I am certain you would not claim their believing was of any merit. I find a foundation based on knowing to be firmer than one based on mere believing.

budaatum:
I'll end this with that Pharissee and the atheist again and have you consider Christ words when the former says, "Thank you Lord that I am not like that atheist over there"!
“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

budaatum:
I refrain from saying an amen lest it be seen as buda cursing. But I will say, 'salt', as in, may you be salted.

budaatum:
As to an atheist not knowing "what the Life and teachings of Jesus means" , well, I guess that's an opinion, and one a certain Pharisee had that made him thank God he was not like that tax collector over there. It is also the lesson of the Good Samaritan.

budaatum:
Are you aware they were considered in the same way Muslims are seen by some today? Yet, it does seem Christ was saying the Samaritan would enter the Kingdom of God way before the Priest and the Levite, both who believed, would.

budaatum:
There is a reason why some who call "Lord, Lord" will gnash their teeth, why there are many mansions in his Father's house, why common stones would be raised up to sing haleluya, and why some will hear from the mouths of babies.

budaatum:
If I believed Christians became perfect saints, do you not think I too would be a Christian?

budaatum:
Christianity simple shows a way and how to be so there would be peace on earth where the lamb would not be eaten by the lion. It is why the peacemakers are blessed. The Spiritual growth of a follower of Christ makes them the salt of the earth. I know you know the value of unsalty salt.

budaatum:
As for me, my credentials are displayed for you to observe if I understand the teachings or not. You may want to ask why an atheist detesting Christian might refer to atheist buda as "my dearest" and "my love", by the way. Is it because she sees the devils spirit in buda, perhaps?

budaatum:
I would claim God detests those who do not do his will.

budaatum:
Good, so let's work with that alone,love, and not more than one loves oneself. In fact, the prayer,"Forgive us our trespasses" sets a nice limit on how much love one should have for others. "As much as one wishes to be loved" ,to be exact. In effect,if one wishes to be loved a little,one just need love others a little, and the more loving one wants,the more one needs to love.

budaatum:
Now back to op. Have the Land grabbers not loved themselves at the expense of others by grabbing their land?

budaatum:
I do nothave any intentionofseeinganyone live accordingto Christ's teachings! That is a choice every individual makesfor themself, after allnoonewouldbe punishedfor the sinsofbuda andbuda wouldnot be punished forthesins ofothers!

Heathen777:
I do thing find my mind drifting to morbid thoughts though, our intelligence is both a blessing and a curse because on one hand it allows us to be self aware and live a more fulfilling life, and on the other hand we dread at the thought of our mortality, that's like the 'curse' of our intelligence.

I try to stay away from the macabre as it troubles my psyche a bit, not that I'm totally against being interested in it, but not to the point it disturbs me.... I like to sleep peacefully at night thank you .

As for the worries of mortality, I can only hope science finds a way to that. I think it's possible...

Bintabisiriyu:
What is this one saying?

PaChukwudi44:
The church of Antioch in asia minor was already existing even before Paul was converted yet this slowpoke claims Paul founded all the churches of asia minor.Not to belittle Paul's great achievements in Christian evangelism during the first century but the task of spreading christianty was even far beyond the work of the twelve apostles or st Paul.Lots of people not even recorded in the bible participated in spreading Christianity as clearly described in acts 11:9 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord



There was nothing like the church of paul or the churches founded by paul or church of peter etc.This slowpoke wants to create the impression that Pentecostal like one man church existed in the first century which is a fallacy.Both Peter,Paul and other apostles wrote to and preached to same churches.There was nothing like church of peter.Paul wrote to the galatians and other Asian churches .Peter did same too.

1 pet 1 :Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,





Galatians 1
Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— and all the brothers and sisters with me, To the churches in Galatia

PaChukwudi44:
mumu.You seem to know even more about this hellenism and imaginary heavenly bodies than the catholic church.

budaatum:
Its really sad that people blindly support those who claim to worship one's gods even when they do things those gods are supposed to detest.

budaatum:
Jesus preached numerous sermons against such stupidity (Parable of the Samaritan, the Pharissee and the tax collector, the gnashing of teeth, the mansions of his father's house, to name a few), but that lesson just seems to fly over some people's heads.

budaatum:
What a waste of the blood of Christ if people can't learn the lessons wrote in it, I say.

blackbriar:
I asked you sir, now you are asking me back

Diva88:
Yes it is trouble!

Ishilove:
E Don reconsider

Chuksonyeike:
I asked you not to make any dubious claim that cannot be substantiated. Where are the proofs for this statement?

Chuksonyeike:
is that why you are so ignorant? Go and study you won't. Just continue making dubious statements and disgracing yourself .

plainbibletruth:
1.A huge problem with 4:157 is that Allah is deceiving not only his enemies but also the followers of the Messiah, whom He had sent Himself.

Since the Quran presents deception of the honest seekers of truth as part of the character of Allah, then how can we trust such a god or book - the Quran - that is purportedly from him. If God deceived those who desired to know and follow him, how can I have any assurance he did not do it again and the Quran is not part of this deception?

I think this is a big problem with this passage. But maybe not for you.
So, can you resolve this problem of the deception of true seekers of the truth by Allah? Why Allah deceived everybody and it took 600 years for the truth to be "revealed" to Mohamed?

Which would have been more glorious and spectacular: Allah lifting up Jesus to heaven in the sight of all the people instead of letting everyone think that Jesus was indeed crucified and nobody saw and realized he was actually not crucified?

Why could Allah not save Jesus without making up this change of persons in the cross which achieved nothing?

And Allah is said to be the All-Powerful, All-Wise?

Why and how did a fake crucifixion bring any glory to Allah? Especially since, according to Islam, nobody knew about it until 600 years later?

Abdulgaffar22:
so to believe that an innocent and beloved prophet of God is under the curse of the same God is not nonsense? Dont worry when you die, you will know whether Quran is nonsense or not

Gggg102:
different in what sense?
they seem pretty much alike to me...

Chuksonyeike:
No
I hope you don't mind listing the churches planted by Paul, Peter and the other apostles with irrefutable proof.Paul and Peter were not the only people preaching the gospel in the first century to begin with. BTW which church exactly was founded by Paul that I tried to pass off as Peter? I want historical proofs for any answers you provide here

Furthermore when these early preachers went about spreading the gospel they were not forming personal churches. The Church was one. None belonged to either Peter, Paul or any other apostles

Chuksonyeike:
Are you dumb or what? How can you come here to disgrace yourself like this? You do not engage in any argument like this without any sound knowledge of church history. The Syrian orthodox, Ethiopian orthodox,Assyrian church of the east and all Eastern orthodox churches broke out from the Catholic Church between the fifth to 11th centuries. A simple Google Search could have educated you.

Go and read about the non-chalcedonians, east-west schism etc The funniest thing about you mentioning them simply because you hate the Catholic Church is that they equally practice all the things you condemn in the Catholic Church including use of images,veneration of Saints, honour to Mary etc you are indeed ignorant

FannySwindler1:
Haha.. Ishilove. You are giving me out to already. Unless you want me to swindle her Fanny. Even at that Jnr is highly selective. I don't do people seeking prophet and prophetess. She has every right to do so and I respect her decision. But it's not in my character to have interpersonal relationship with such women. What will happen when we are married and there are issues? Guess she will seeking same prophet and prophetess or something higher. I had rather be you, Ishilove than be with Diva88.
Thanks but no Thanks.

Diva88:
No. I am just a frustrated woman pouring out my heart!
