davidylan:Christains dont spend as much time according to davidylan? , a look at the islamic thread will show you other wise, I repeat Christains spend too much time talking about Allah a deity they believe does not exist. Christainity is also in essence Judaism with a lot of changes to make it look original. |
Deus_Noir:Interesting. |
They can also include Allah. |
She should be left alone if she really does not want to br treated by drugs. After a year no body will have to tell her to take the drugs. |
olabowale:The bible and the mostly the Torah you deluded slave of Allah. |
davidylan:I wonder why Christains spend a lot of time and money telling the world that Allah is the wrong deity even though they don't believe in his existence. I don't see they pay as much attention to buddah, sango, krisna and the rest of the other Gods. |
OLAADEGBU:I realize from your posts that any arguments against your belief in God will not change your mind in any way. So rather than try and point out the reasons you should not believe in God, I would like you ask you about your opinion of certain situations and how your religious beliefs apply to them. For example: A child is born in a small village in eastern Mongolia. The child's parents are farmers. The chance of this child recieving an education beyond primary school is very slim. The child's parent's beliefs are based on Taoism for the most part because that is how they were brought up but they are not too strict about it. They bring up their child the same way and with the same principles and beliefs. Most of the other villagers there believe in the same principles. This person grows up to be a farmer and lives a modest life. This person never harms anyone or commits any crimes. In fact, there is nothing extraordinary about this person. This person lives pretty much the same life as the parents did, and most of the villagers for that matter. In the end, the person dies of old age. This person was never aware of Christianity as a religion. This person was not aware of a Christian God,The Bible or Jesus. A Mongolian version of the Bible was never made available to this person. That person was simply ignorant of the fact that Christianity even exists and is practiced by hundreds of millions of people. Since this person was never baptized, nor went to church, nor did any of that which your God requires. . . . would this person be condemned to hell? If so, would you agree that this is an extremely unfair situation for this person? The word of your God has simply not reached that part of the world. Widespread belief of your God is not happening there. In fact, it's not happening in most of the world. If your God is the only God and the God everyone should believe in. . . [b]shouldn't every person in the world be given at least a chance to believe?[/b]Well aren't you such a lucky fellow to have been born into a family with the correct set of beliefs. I assume your parents and immediate family are also Christians. Am I wrong? |
OLAADEGBU:That web link explains nothing at all, Its a christain apologist that is trying to use the bible and some convoluted facts to prove non existent points. ![]() |
Janssen:You believe that the bibleGod exist yet you agree that you can not prove his existence? , You can not also tell us how the bibleGod came into existance can you? As to the 700 year old prophecy predicting the exact week Jesus will die is nothing but a farce, the other prophecies about Jesus birth, life and death are all disputable going by the original torah's account that the story was copied from into the bible, read the original hebrew torah once again and you will undertand what i am talking about. You will see that words like young woman and virgin were intentionally changed by the gospel wroters. Here is what mazaje wrote in one of his post regading this "prophecy".Why Jews do not believe in Jesus The requirements for the messiah are as follows (per the Jewish bible.) I use either the Stone edition or JPS. They are pretty identical and Jews accept either edition as accurate. 1. He must be from the seed of David through Solomon 2. He will be anointed King of Israel (the word messiah means anointed, nothing more and nothing less) 3. He will return the Jewish people to Israel 4. He will rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem 5. He will bring peace to the world and end all war 6. He will bring knowledge of god to the world All of the authentic Jewish messianic prophecies are empirically verifiable. The entire world will be able to see and verify the above. Some things he will not be: He will not be a deity He will not need 2 visits to accomplish his mission He will not die for our sins He will not be pierced ( in reference to the mistranslation of Psalm 17 explained below) About Jewish tribal law: If your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish If your father was a Kohen (Priest), you are a priest (birth only, no adoption allowed) If your father was from the tribe of Judah, you are from the tribe of Judah (birth only, no adoption allowed) Sources for the messianic criteria are from Isaiah 11:6, Talmud Yad, Melachim 11:4, Num 24:17, Deut 17:15 Lev 24:10 Ezra 10:2,3 Gen 49;10 Num 1:18-44 24:14 and Lev 24:10 No sources for the "nots" as these are absent from the Jewish OT. For my reference to the messiah not needing to be pierced, I refer to Psalm 22:16 (17 in Jewish bible) Dogs have compassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet. (King James version) Dogs have encompassed me. A company of evildoers has enclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet. (JPS jewish bible) Notice that when the original words of the Psalmist are read, any allusion to a crucifixion disappears. The insertion of the word "pierced" into the last clause of this verse is a not-too-ingenious Christian interpretation that was created by deliberately mistranslating the Hebrew word kaari as "pierced." The word kaari, however, does not mean "pierced," it means "like a lion." The end of Psalm 22:17, therefore, properly reads "like a lion they are at my hands and my feet." Had King David wished to write the word "pierced," he would never use the Hebrew word kaari. Instead, he would have written either daqar or ratza, which are common Hebrew words in the Jewish scriptures. Needless to say, the phrase "they pierced my hands and my feet" is a Christian contrivance that appears nowhere in the Jewish scriptures. Bear in mind, this stunning mistranslation in the 22nd Psalm did not occur because Christian translators were unaware of the correct meaning of this Hebrew word. Clearly, this was not the case. The word kaari can be found in a number of other places in the Jewish scriptures. Yet predictably, the same Christian translators who rendered kaari as "pierced" in Psalm 22 correctly translated it "like a lion" in all other places in the Hebrew Bible where this word appears. Now on to another mistranslated messianic passage from the OT. Isaiah 7:14 does not support Matthew's claim that Isaiah is referring to Jesus' virgin birth, It should be said at the outset that the word "virgin" does not appear in the seventh chapter of Isaiah. The author of the first Gospel deliberately mistranslated the Hebrew word ha'almah as "a virgin." This Hebrew word ha'almah does not mean "a virgin." It means "the young woman," with no implication of virginity. Most modern Christian Bibles have corrected this erroneous translation, and their Bibles now correctly translate this Hebrew word as "the young woman." If Isaiah had wanted to spefically say virgin, he would have used betulah, a common word used in other areas of the OT that only means virgin. Isaiah 7:14. The seventh chapter of the Book of Isaiah begins by describing the military crisis that was confronting King Ahaz of the Kingdom of Judah. In about the year 732 B.C.E. the House of David was facing imminent destruction at the hands of two warring kingdoms: the northern Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Syria. These two armies had laid siege to Jerusalem. The Bible relates that the House of David and King Ahaz were gripped with fear. Chapter seven relates how God sent the prophet Isaiah to reassure King Ahaz that divine protection was at hand. The Almighty would protect him, their deliverance was assured, and these two hostile armies would fail in their attempt to subjugate Jerusalem. In Isaiah 7 we read, , : "Let us go up against Judah and provoke it, and annex it to us; and let us crown a king in its midst, one who is good for us." So said the Lord God, "Neither shall it succeed, nor shall it come to pass . . . ." ' " The Lord continued to speak to Ahaz, saying, "Ask for yourself a sign from the Lord, your God; ask it either in the depths, or in the heights above." Ahaz said, "I will not ask, and I will not test the Lord." Then he said, "Listen now, O House of David, is it little for you to weary men, that you weary my God as well? Therefore the Lord, of His own, shall give you a sign: Behold the young woman is with child, and she shall bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel. Cream and honey he shall eat when he knows to reject bad and choose good; for, when the lad does not yet know to reject bad and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread, shall be abandoned." It is clear from this chapter that Isaiah's declaration was a prophecy of the unsuccessful siege of Jerusalem by the two armies of the Kingdoms of Israel and Syria, not a virgin birth more than 700 years later. If we interpret this chapter as referring to Jesus' birth, what possible comfort and assurance would Ahaz, who was surrounded by to overwhelming military enemies, have found in the birth of a child seven centuries later? Both he and his people would have been long dead and buried. Such a sign would make no sense. We see, in II Kings 15-16, that this prophecy was fulfilled when these two kings were suddenly assassinated. With an understanding of the context of Isaiah 7:14 alone, it is evident that the child born in Isaiah 7:14 is not referring to Jesus or to any future virgin birth. Rather, it is referring to the divine protection that Ahaz and his people would enjoy from their impending destruction at the hands of these two enemies, the northern Kingdom of Israel and Syria. Finally, if Isaiah's words are the substance of a dual prophecy as some Christains claim, at what age did the baby Jesus mature? Which were the two kingdoms during Jesus' lifetime that were abandoned? Who dreaded the Kingdom of Israel during the first century when there had not been a Kingdom of Israel in existence since the seventh century B.C.E.? When did Jesus eat cream and honey? Why wasn't Jesus named Immanuel? Does any of this make any sense? It doesn't because this argument of a dual prophecy was born out of the desperation of Christians and essentially makes a mockery out of the book of Isaiah. Conclusion:Science is not fool proof! It is constantly changing as one theory after another is being revised and updated because we do not really know - we are learning. Evolution is no exception. Science is only as good as the human mind and that is faulty, biased and guilty of serious errors. May I suggest truth can be found in a supernatural book - a sacred book - the Bible. It has been proven to be accurate when it speaks to history and prophecy. It predicted Jesus' birth and death, including the week in which He would die. It predicted His return to life, and historical records witness to the life, death and miracles of Jesus. Jesus is God! God only asks us to believe in Jesus!You can not use the bible to prove its assertions. Talking about prohecy remember that there are a lot of other prophecies that were not fullfilled in the bible? so what does that tell you? |
Davidylan thinks he alone understands the bible and anybody that dares to teach against what he feels is right is a fraud and deserves no attention. |
May kelly:In your haste to sound stupid and scripted it seems you did not even bother to read the thread, |
OLAADEGBU:You guys never fail to amaze me, why do you guys keep bandying the lie that you worship a merciful deity? What is the difference between Allah and the God of the Bible? You said that Allah see mercy as a form of weakness eh? What about the Christain God? remember he onced used to live inside a wooden ark as the story goes and any body that goes near the ark gets killed instantly. The bible God was adviced by people like David in the bible to reconsider some of his evil acts and yet you say he is merciful? By the way if we are to go by what you stated it was never the bibleGod's intension for all to go to Mathew 7:13 & 14 13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Now, if biblegod is not willing that any should perish, why should any perish. If it is not his will, then how can it happen? Yet, as we see from the words of Jesus in Matthew, "few there be that find it (life)". How can "few find it", if it is bibleGod's will that none perish? I don't believe in heaven and hell by the way I am just trying to point out how senseless it sounds going by the biblical narrative. |
allboyz: ![]() @ Ogaga4Luv What is it with your imaginary satan? |
May kelly:I do, you and your God are all fools. May kelly:Sorry baby your imaginary God has been emasculated long time ago by the people that decided to reinvent him, gone are the days he used to kill millions in a day, or turn into a lion and eat people alive. He can not even protect his so called children from harm and you are there telling him to multiply other peoples sorrows ![]() |
@Kola oloye Here is the rest of the verse Mat 24:15 "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' [fn] spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the reader understand- Mat 24:16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Mat 24:17 Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. Mat 24:18 Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. Mat 24:19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Mat 24:20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. Mat 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled again. Mat 24:22 If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Mat 24:23 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. Mat 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible. Mat 24:25 See, I have told you ahead of time. Mat 24:26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. Mat 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Mat 24:28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. Mat 24:29 "Immediately after the distress of those days " 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.' [fn] Mat 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. Mat 24:31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Mat 24:32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Mat 24:33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it [fn]is near, right at the door. Mat 24:34 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. It seems that Jesus cleary does not know what he was saying. There are so many places where Jesus particularly told people that they will see him come from the clouds in his kingdom in other verses and those predictions are all a giant Fail. People always forget why the bible was written and what the authors had in mind, most of them taught that the legend that is Jesus was going to come during their life time or generation that was why they included all those lines and predictions. |
OLAADEGBU:I can see that you are more passionate than me when it comes to showing the non existence of Allah judging from your numerous post on the Islamic thread, do you also care to go and tell them about how 40 Moslems converted to Christainity at a near by mosque as you have besen posting here on nairaland and come back and tell us the story? that's if you live to tell the story ![]() |
davidylan:Are you placating yyour troubled soul when you tell Moslems that they are worshipping the devil in Mecca? The problem with you is that you fail so see that people genuinely disbelieve in your God or the other Gods, there is a big difference between lack of belief and being angry at your God or the other Gods(you personally believe that those that disbelieve are angry, thats why you assume they are troubled), there are over 750 million atheist and non believers world wide(more than protestants) do you believe that all of us are troubled? are Christians troubled when they go around telling Moslem that they worship the wrong deity? I say this because there was a day you challenged me(on another thread) to take an oath and dare the bibleGod to do something bad to me personally because deep inside of you, you had this belief that somewhere inside of me I couldn't, perhaps you thought that I was just angry at the bibleGod and hid my anger as disbelief. After I showed you that I truly do not believe that the bibleGod exist by going ahead and taking the oath daring the bibleGod to take my life the next minute if he can to your surprise(nothing happened to me because he is imaginary), you came along with the stupid Christian mantra that the bibleGod loves me (he should take his love and shove it up his ass I don't need it). Just the way that Moslem are not troubled when they go around telling Christians that they are worshipping man not Allah, that's they same way that we atheist are not troubled when we go around trying to remove the cancer that is called religion. Any way you have been made to believe that a person that is without Jesus is already condemned and troubled. Apart from belief in the afterlife which their is no evidence of whatsoever and which Christians for example do not have a coherent and unanimous conception of , what advantage does Christianity or Islam offer to its adherents? is it more knowledge? more money and power? longer life? happiness, comfort and fulfilment? children? |
Olabowale why are you stating the history written in the koran as facts? |
Nigerians need to challenge themselves and start thinking, when have been sleeping for far too long. |
redsun:Nigerians are still waiting on the Gods(Allah, Jehova,Jesus, Sango etc) to come and change the hearts of their leaders and the direction of the country(them go wait tire). Nigerians spend hours and days praying when 45 minutes of collective or general cleaning of their environments weekly will change a lot and remove most of the filt they have around them that is causing too much disease and premature death. Nigerians spend days in crusades and in islamic gatherings(some dying at such jamborees) but they can't spend 30 mins collectively organising themselves to clean their environment or fight for their rights. Its sickening. |
Image123:Nothing like that ever happened, read my post again. Do you think I believe that the war ever happened the way it was portrayed in the bible? Christains believe that the bibleGod is so powerful that he destroyed an army of 1 million in a day (which is another lie) but could not defeat men because they rode on chariots of iron? all I was trying to do is to point out how the entire belief sounds absurd. I guess the bible writers did not see this one before they included it in the bible. There are so many errors/ mistakes that have been corrected in the bible over time. I just wonder why this embarrasing one still remains there. |
lucabrasi what are you preaching all this while? |
Why did the british people gather us and call us Nigerians? Instead of working to help ourselves we are hoping for the Gods to come and save us from all our mad made endless litany of problems. |
I hope he succeeds. |
olabowale:Ok I am a disbeliever hence I am an enemy of Allah, tell him to come and kill me if he can. |
fantacie:What God? why do you guys keep lying that the bibleGod is merciful? Do you know what mercy means? As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you. (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)Remeber that the bibleGod commited Genocide Punishing people for crimes that they did not commit at all Animal sacrifices Human sacrifice Animal cruelty The killing of innocent children and animals Ffavoring one nation over other nations for no reason at all The toleration and regulation of slavery Promoting of wars and urging people to go to war against other nations without provocation Commanding people to keep virgins as the spoils of war Interfering with a person's free will to do good Tried to kill his best friend moses Ohhh what a merciful God!!! |
Image123:I dont have any faith in any passage I just found it ridiculous and absurd how it is that the bibleGod could not defeat people because they rode on chariots of iron. I bet the bibe writer did'nt proof read it before including it in the bible. |
Image123:I am just trying to show you guys how absurd your beliefs are? You believe that the bibleGod killed one million people in a day, commanded the sun to standstill so that his people can kill off all their enemies but he was'nt able to defeat men because they had chariots of iron? this is really absurd. |
FBS:The only limitation he has are men who are no chariots or iron, he just can not handle them. |
Blessing and cursing at the same time very typical of Nigerians. |

" thoughts with anyone except my closest friends, who would still verbally crucify me for having those beliefs(or lack of). But it was all in good fun, I guess they just assumed I was some attention seeking twit who would eventually "see the light" and "find God" pshh.
We believe in your miracles Jehovah. We Love YOU LORD.
