Just keep quiet!!!

if you do not have any thing reasonable to say, just go to bed...It's you who have been brainwashed, so much hate in your heart for a religion that preaches nothing but the truth n peace.
Keep quiet. How are you treating the VVF you are suffering from due to the fact that you were raped when you were 9?

There is this girl I like, i told her that am an Atheist, she was flabagasted at first then she tried preaching to me. But when I won't yield she changed the topic. After that instance i told her i liked her but then i didn't really get any affirmative response but then we are still talking and we were still like on good terms, But then i can't just get it out of my head that the only reason we are still talking is because she is hopeful that she would one day change me.
I just feel and i want her to want me for who and what i am. The thing is I have no problem with her being a Christian and all...
First off, If she is a Christian she should not date you. Christians do not have sex outside of marriage. Secondly, What has Light got to do with Darkness?

She's just being human to keep a friendly disposition towards you.

If Christ lives in her, you are wasting your time.

Smiles, it is funny that the acclaimed christians always address issues as if they are talking to dolts or kids under 2yrs old.

Honestly it is so unfortunate we barely have intelligent christians here
Here comes a one time Spiritual giant who saw God face to face. A giant in Signs and Wonders. A man who did exploits to the point of populating heaven with thousands of souls and knowing 300 of his converts by name. Here comes a man who experienced and partook in the Powers of the World to come, yet came out to declare there's no God.

You rightly call yourself a dolt.

Funny thing it was you who brought these verses to my knowledge during the hard mirror 'trial'. I am fairly certain that you know what I mean.
I didn't ask for it because of me, I know what it says, but does others reading know? We are reaching the world here you know.
Go to the board check how many registered monikers and check how many guests are reading in. Guests are more. They are my audience not you guys here.

I sincerely hope you have. a back up plan or plan B when those that gave you the bible comes round and tells you that it is all a forgery..and they lied from the beginning...Believe me..thats is what is coming next..Pope Benedict 16th wanted to do that the. cabal in the vatican threatenef and forced him out..
the truth will soon be laid bare...time is running out..
it is the cult of lucifer that was transformed to christainity..take it or leave it...it has nothing to do with what the jews believed as contained in the old testamennt
So you actually believed the Cathic gave the Church the Bible? Na wa for people oo.

Has it occuered to you that before Rome Hijacked Christianity and turned it to a religion and a polictical movement, there were churches albeit without official names and they had Biblical Scrolls?

The only thing your head has refused to assimilate is that The Catholic religion only compiled the Bible.

What does the word Compilation mean to you? Does it mean write?

com·pi·la·tion\ˌkäm-pə-ˈlā-shən also -ˌpī-\
noun
: a group of things (such as songs or pieces of writing) that have been gathered into a collection
: the act or process of gathering things together.

Did the Catholic Religion author the Holy Bible?

I'm God's creature.. but yes... the bible did play a huge role in what i know and my beliefs... because it was one of my research materials and one of the most trusted.... without Christ, i am nobody... i love the bible... cuz there are so many things hidden there... i don't deny that.. cheers

I'm shockingly unaware that I "twisted" the scripture anywhere in my posts.
Perhaps you should point out the where I did so.
This here is what you said...

"I guess the fear and terror that the disciples felt when they saw jesus walking on water was due to the fact that they were devils?....and when peter,james and john cowered in great fear after beholding the tranfiguration of christ(along with moses and elijah) on the mountain,that too was due to the presence of devils lurking around.

Oh my....we really need to contemplate the nature of the spiritual world"

You knew that the Apostles felt fear not because they knew it was Jesus walking on water, but they thought it was a spirit.

And Peter James and John,.waking up from sleep and seeing Jesus in his Glory were perplexed. You knew they suggested they build three Tents for the Master, Moses and Elijah. Yet you tried to make look like they were afraid in the presence of the Master.

When they discovered it Was the Master, what was their reaction? Did they continue in their fear?

Yes sir, 'The Bible' is the word of God sir.

There's the written word of God= Logos= Bible= letters.

There's the Spoken Word of God=Rhema= the Spirit of the Word= Revelatiinal truths=Christ.

The Bible is the written Constitution of God for the Earth.

Sarassin:
Lobsang Rampa gave no religious teachings of any note, in fact if you read his books as you said you did, you would be aware he wrote that he was a Buddhist but never practised. That is about the only truth he ever stated. The man was a charlatan and a fraud. In the book titled The Third Eye, Rampa writes about his experience at the Chakpori lamasery of having his third eye faculties opened through surgery at an early age, in his book Dr. From Lhasa, he writes about his training as a Chinese medical doctor and subsequent capture and torture by the Japanese troops during the second world war, in his other book titled Wisdom of the Ancients, he describes his training and impartation of knowledge at the Potala Monastery under the tutelage of the Lama Mingyar Dondup, in various of his other books he describes growing up in Lhasa in his father’s compound and his subsequent admission and entry into the monastery as well as the “test” he had to endure before gaining acceptance.

The Englishman Cyril Hoskins who wrote the Books never visited Tibet in his entire lifetime. After he wrote the books and due to public outcry when it was discovered he was an ordinary plumber with the gift of the garb and a good publisher, he “emigrated” to Canada and then to Uruguay, perhaps you can begin to see the picture now?

His extraordinary claim that the body of the Englishman who fell off his roof had been taken over by the transmigrated soul of a Tibetan named Rampa was laughable. It would have made him the only man in history to have successfully transmigrated his soul from one body to another….yet people believed him. Tibetan authorities disavowed any knowledge of the charlatan.

You should not equate Eastern religious spirituality and practices with the Rampa books, His books were mainly quasi-religious fictional non-sense designed for the feeble-minded who made him extremely wealthy, the occult practices contained in his books were mostly ripped off from other mystical schools and then completely jumbled together, and in many instances simply made up. One of his more grotesque claims was that his book “Living with the Lama” was dictated to him by his pet cat yet people believed him and bought the book, and then you wonder why I called him a fraud?
Okay. Weytin concern me sef?

Nobleking2000:
What of human beings? do they also have no beginning and end.

My question is where were we before we were brought into this life by our parents.
Pls take out time to read the following, all of it pls, you'd find your answers there. Thanks.

It will be better if you are specific. When guys come up talking about a blanketted concept like religion, they totally get lost

Let's check the points you raised.

Am a Christian, so will answer you based on my back ground.

Your number 1.

No soul existed before creation. If you say the Bible says so, pls give me a scripture backing that up.

God created Adam from Dust. He created them fully grown adults. He brought them forth at the age they were riped enough to carry out His command of " Have a lot of Children, Fill the Earth with people... GoodNews Bible. Gen 1:28.

Jehovah Elohim, "The God who Creates, according to his indeterminate Counsel, decided to create a man the age he created him and decided that man begins having sex to procreate and to fill the earth with other human beings.

So, there was no pre existence of man, but man brought an end to himself by Himself. By dying into sin. Sin brought death.

Point 2.
No, the earth is not a play ground. God wasn't out of ideas when he decided to create earth and put man in it.

Lets see Gods intent and purpose when He created man. The earth was already finished and perfect before man arrived.

Gen. 1: 26. Then, the Lord God said; " Let Us make man in our image, according to our Likeness. Let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, births of the air, and animals in the Field.

Cool down and look.

God created the earth by Himself, without the help of man. Infact man was the last to arrive earth. Now, God brings man forth and says, Take over the earth, DOMINATE OVER IT. Rule it. Take control. Have authority and take charge of everything that happens therein.

What do you think?
Disect the word DOMINION, you'd find the word DOMIAN.

What this means is that, God created a DOMAIN and gave to Adam to DOMINATE.

Well, I know, i don't know about you, that, another word for DOMAIN IS KINGDOM. Kingdom stands for "KING+DOMAIN.

How do you DOMINATE a DOMAIN if you are not a King of that DOMAIN?

SO, It is ovbious that God's original intent was for man to be king of the earth. NOT PLAY ON EARTH. BEING KING IS SERIOUS WORK.

When God created man, the first thing he gave to man, was the Kingdom of the earth, to rule and reign over it.

God didn't just give him a kingdom without power to rule it. He said, "Let them have dominion". Meaning, " allow them, do not interfer with how they decide to pilot the affairs of earth.

What is a Kingdom?
It's a sovereign rule of a Kiing over a realm/ territory, impacting it with his Will, Purpose, and Intent.

The Kingdom of the Earth was to be an extention of the Kingdom of heaven. God being the head of Man, and Man being the head of other creatures on earth. (Not the head of another man) God said, LET THEM, NOT LET HIM)
This is God's intent and Purpose.

This Kingdom was not a religion.

God never gave Adam a religion, He gave him a Kingdom. This Kingdom is the government of Heaven.
Man was to execute God's will over the earth,

It means God's jurisdiction esterblished, Heaven's influenced. It was suppose to be heaven on earth.

ThEN ThE rEbelIiOn.

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL CHANGED. Whether you believe it or not, what you, and all others are doing right here is what Adam did back then.

Nothing has changed. Man has never changed.

REBELLION... Disobidience to be under God's rule.

Adam, declared i dependence.

Why its deciet, (i mean Man was decieved by the enemy) is that, Adam didn't know anything else other than what he knew. He didnt know he could lose his Kingdom.

The Fall came with the loss of his PURPOSE, HIS ASSIGNMENT, & HIS CALLING.

His fall created an unease inside of him. It created a vaccum, fear and discontent.

The PART OF HIM WHICH CONNECTED HIM WITH HIS CREATOR WAS GONE, DISCONNECTED.

When man disconnected himself from his creator, Satan stepped in and took over the kingdom of the earth.

Satan rebbeled with the hope of having his own Kingdom, but after he was cast out of heaven, he discovered there was no Kingdom anywhere, so, when man was created, he gunned to take it over, he succedded for a time though.

When man saw that he was begging for what belonged to him before, he sort to have his kingdom back.

The quest began. When he reached out, who did he meet? The same satan who decietfully stole his Kingdom.

Satan began requesting for man to perform rituals to appease.

God ever demanded reituals from Man any day.

Rituals brought about Religion. For reiligion comes from rituals.

MAN CREATED RELIGION FOR HIMSELF. GOD DID NOT GIVE HIM ANY RELIGION.

If you disagree, then bring up your rebuttal.

From then henceforth, man embarked on a quest to find God with the hope of getting reinstated as the King of the earth, but Satan has taken over.

If you read the Bible, From Adam to Jesus, God always came to man. Man was never to look for God. If you look for God, satan will present himself to you.

God looked for Adam.

God looked for Abraham.
God looked for Moses,
God looked for all the prophets.

God is looking for you today in the Person of Jesus Christ.


When Christ came, what was the very first thing he said to Man?

REPENT for the KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.

Which Kingsom is Christ talking about?

What man has been looking for from Adam, Christ came to give it back, BUT YOU FIGHT HIM AND INSULT HIM.

READ your Bible, you'd find out that, Jesus never talked about any Religion, but about THE KINGDOM.

To us, he said, SEEK YE FIRST THE kingdom AND ITS RIGHTEOUSNESS, THEN...

CHECK, ITS HAS BEEN BETWEEN A KING AND HIS kingdom.

MAN couldn't get to God to get back his Kingdom. Christ came down to give you back the Kingdom, NOT A.RELIGION

THIS IS WHY I SAY, CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION.

Man has created a religion for Himself with Satan and his demons, as the head of all the world's religions.

Man has continually made a mess of governing himself since the Fall. Look around you and see.

Atheism is SELF GOVERNANCE.

Your POINT 3.
What do you mean by 'Religious construct?'


Your Point 4. You said...
If you existed before birth or earthly life, why would it be that earth is the junction where you choose between heaven or hell according to religion ?

I SAY...

You didn't exist before earthly life. YOU WERE CREATED.

The reason you choose either way, is because you chose to declare independence from heaven in the first place.

You willingly went away, you must also willingly choose to return.

You declared indepence from God, so, deal with it

Who is Christ?

What is Christianity?

Do you know what it means to be a Christian?

So, you can just get up one day and discard your fathers DNA from you and leave? lol. Pls guy.

This is exactly what Christ warned. False teachers shall come after am gone. They shall teach error, with miracles they shall decieve many.

2Tim 4:3-4

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The 'church' is full with LAZY people who depends on others to know Christ for them. They cannot spend time to know what and why Jesus said this or that.

And, satan is standing by to summersault and twist Scritpures for them.


While in Church, their minds are faraway, not knowing Jack about anything. When challenges come, they won't know what to do, they come out screaming Christianity is fake, the Bible is a fraud.

Guy, no one, i repeat, no one knows Christ and leaves.

O well, you can know Him so intimately and become so powerful that you'll begin to think you are god yourself. Just like satan.

Wilgrea7:
I'm no jw neither am i a pagan.. i stated something

Romans 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel

1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

the last verse seems to show that only God has immortality.... true immortality.. the verses above are clearly stating that innortality/eternal life is a gift from God to the righteous.... except you have another way of explaining those verses... then I'm all ears... i don't take our souls to be truly immortal.. i don't even take angels to be truly immortal.. i take only God to be truly immortal.. the rest have conditional immortality.. meaning they can still be destroyed if the creator deems it fit

as to the soul spirit connection... I'm beginning to see your point... i made a research on it... it seems there were some people who didn't want us to know the difference between soul and spirit.. after my research (cuz I've been silent on the soul issue)... i take the spirit as the source of life allowing the soul to be able to dwell in the body... the spirit goes to God at death while the soul goes on to the afterlife.. the soul is the real you.... again... I'm no jw or pagan... i like to research things and find out for myself.. you seem to be very skilled when it comes to jumping to conclusions concerning people's identity
When i study Scriptures, i read different translations for clarity. Here is what that verse says here.

Amplified Bible Romans 2:7 To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the eternal blessedness of] immortality, He will give eternal life.

Bros, can you see what that Scripture is saying? Right here on earth presently, our immortally is shrouded by the Flesh. But a time will come that this Flesh(body) shall be taken off and we shall be seeing each other in our true/real state (Spirit) Which is immortal.

We all have a Kingdom in mind. Christ came to takes us to a Kingdom, that Kingdom, Flesh and blood can not enter there, hence we need a Spirit body.

Remember, Adam's Spiritual body died in Eden when he Rebelled against God's Government? God knows that, No one shall enter his presence with a physical body, that's why there's the need for us to be alive in our Spirits again. Our immortality died in Adam, in Eden. It is that Part of us that brought Christ here to reenstate to enable us access His Kingdom when we die in this body.

Amplified Bible 1 Corinthians 15:50 But I tell you this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot [become partakers of eternal salvation and] inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (that which is decaying) inherit or share in the imperishable (the immortal).

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1 Corinthians:15:50

Good News Translation 1 Corinthians 15:50 What I mean, friends, is that what is made of flesh and blood cannot share in God's Kingdom, and what is mortal cannot possess immortality.


1 Corinthians 15:54 And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory.

This our Present mortal body dies, it is perishable, but when it perishes, we shall then PUT ON, or be in a state of immortality which was our default state.

This realm is a realm where things are seen with the physical eyes, our immortality(spiritual essence) can not be seen here, hence the body which covers it and make us appear and be seen. But when we die, we shall move away from this body, we can not be seen again, by folks still on this realm, but we can see them.

Amplified Bible Hebrews 12:1 Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,

Those saints watching us run this race, in that verse are now in their immortal state. They are death, but can still watch us. We are also looking forward to dying and being in the state they are right now.


1 Timothy 6:12-14,16 Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned and [for which] you confessed the good confession [of faith] before many witnesses.

In the presence of God, Who preserves alive all living things, and of Christ Jesus, Who in His testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,

I [solemnly] charge you To keep all His precepts unsullied and flawless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Anointed One),

Who alone has immortality [in the sense of exemption from every kind of death] and lives in unapproachable light, Whom no man has ever seen or can see. Unto Him be honor and everlasting power and dominion. Amen (so be it).

Read verse 16 again.

When the Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul says, Only Christ is immortal who was or is he talking to? The dead sainst or us who arw still alive in this mortal bodies?

He is talking to us. Christ is exempted from EVERY KIND OF DEATH, be it physical or Spiritual death. But we are not YET. So is asking us to do our best to preserve our Faith so that we like christ can be exempted from everykind of death.

I hope you know that after here, they are some people who will die the spiritual death, which is seperation from God? It's that seperation that is Hellfire.

The verses are saying what you don't want to see.

Our Souls are immortal because our conciousness doesnt die even when we are dead in the body. Jesus gave a Parable of a rich man who died and went to Hades, while there he remembered his deeds back here and also knew that his living brothers are living wrongly and shall end where he was. He begged that Lazarus be sent back to earth warn his brothers.

His Conciousness Which is his Mind went with him to Hades. It is with our Conciousness and Mind that we shall stand the White Throne Judgement. We shall remeber the things we did in our bodies

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians:5:10

How will you be judged if you do not remember what you did?

Guy. What you think or feel doesnt count when it comes to Kingdom matters. This is a Unilateral agreement, it doesn't invovle your opinion.

God has said it, whether i believe it or not, its settled anyways.

nope... I'm a Christian... i just analyse facts... i didn't draw any conclusion... i only said there's more to the story than what is written in the bible... how does that qualify me as a pagan huh
A Christian who questions the Word of God?

Do you know what being a Christian mean?

You can't be a Child of God and question him.

He that is called of God, Speaks the word of God. You can't be here and there at the same time. Choose ye this day...


For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
John:3:34

Going by your logic anything that has a start must have an end
God, didn't start, so can't and won't end

many Christians won't agree with this view..

concerning the creation story, i know there's a hell lot more to it than what is in the bible... I'm sure of it... check the oldest religions in history... they were mostly monotheistic before many moved to polytheism... but check the monotheistic religions of old... they have a creation story too similar to ignore... so you may be right... a literal interpretation might not be the best idea... but again... many Christians won't agree with the view
Have i been talking to a pagan all along?

"Where was I before I was born?" This is the question I've been wanting to ask. I will follow this thread and watch out for peoples opinions.
Do you know the Holy Spirit? Have you tried asking Him?

You would have lost a whole lot and end up being a victim, scammed and used! You'd end up hating your very life. Yeah, you'd hate the fact that you lost so many opportunities to be something great.

You'll hate your very self because it's glaring that you are not happy with yourself. Honestly, if you were the only Christian in this world, and there's actually a God or a Christ, they would be so disappointed in you.
Okay, i would have lost out on fornication, lying stealing, homosexuality, murder, cheating etc.

What about you? If you die and discover there's God, what will you do?

And what if there's God and you'd have to stand judgement? lol.

I would have lost a whole lot and end up being a victim to who nah? If there's no God or satan, who will hold me accoumtable for anything? You dey think at all?

Who is using me now?

I would hate myself for missing opportunities of becomimg very great to what end?

What is your definition of grestness?

You are so sure am not happy with myself?

Why do you think God will be disappointed in me? He will be disappointed that i lived for Him, a life that according to you " Am missing grestness?" lol.

You are comfused. Go to bed.

While on bed, ask yourself this " what if i die in my sleep this night? What will i do if what this unhappy lady is talking about is true?"
