Amujale:
The bible is fake, false and counterintuitive, hence any of its concept is deemed false.

Try a different source. The bible is a tool of slavery and oppression.

If only you knew how much African ideology is in that Bible, Amujale. The Egyptian ideology that the Bible was birthed from was an ideology of slavery and oppression too.

But this thread is not about "Bible", nor "Egypt"! Though, of course, with you, everything has to be about those two bete noires of your's.

Amujale:
Paradise doesnt equate to 'Peace of Mind', that is wrong.

So you assert. I, obviously assert otherwise.

Amujale:
There's no such place called 'paradise', instead lets work to make our world a better place.

Just better? Not perfect? Like a "green & pleasant Land" paradise?

Christianity Etc › Re: Is There Such Thing As Paradise? by budaatum: 10:14am On Jun 05, 2020

Amujale:
You cannot give someone that which they already have.

We dont need this fictitious 'kingdom of god', the god of the bible is fake.

Africa is 'The Kingdom of God'.

Where do you live, Amujale? It must be some very nice part of Africa for you to call it the Kingdom of any God! Because I doubt any God would accept that Nigeria is it's Kingdom of God at the moment, and that it is paradise!

Christianity Etc › Re: Is There Such Thing As Paradise? by budaatum: 10:10am On Jun 05, 2020

Amujale:
Im not looking for paradise, due to the fact that its a fictitious concept.

What will you prefer, to find your fictitious paradise, or to help create a better world here on planet Earth?

You are allowed one choice.

You are completely ignoring what I wrote, and that's rude!

I told you paradise means my peace of mind, and showed you how England sees it as their "England's green & pleasant Land", and you are now, stupidly, might I add, asking me if it helps "create a better world here on planet Earth"?

Is my mind on Mars, Amujale? Is "England's green & pleasant Land" on Uranus?

Would my peaceful mind, and "England's green & pleasant Land" not equate to a better world?

Do you even know what England means by "green & pleasant Land"?

My bad. I had no intention to patronize you.

Are you saying you understand that you did answer a 'what' question?

If so, now kindly explain to me how Jesus can be said to be the Light of the World".

I honestly don't see it.

I'm not surprised. And I respect your admission.

One of the things that stops us seeing is the baggage we bring to the table in the form of misconceptions and beliefs we grow up with. It's why it is written that "unless one becomes like a child one shall not enter the Kingdom of God". It means, 'unless one abandons one's beliefs and misconceptions, one would not gain understanding and wisdom'. And abandoning beliefs and misconceptions is as hard as a huge camel going through a small needle's eye.

I'm enjoying your intelligence, and the fact you have read the book. I can have Christ spit on mud and make clay to rub in your eyes, but I still have to wait for you to go bath in the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+9%3A1-12&version=NIV]Pool of Siloam[/url] so you can see on rereading your own responses that you did answer a very important 'what' question.

Here's a rhetorical clue. It's not asked to be answered: If one does not know what the light is how can one be certain of following it?

Yoruba dont dodge tax but I cant stand Ibo tax dodgers.

I feel cheated when everybody pay their tax and improve IGR and Ibo say they love tax free.

They love tax free but they want developments. What kind of nonsense is this? Who will pay for development in alaibo? Is it Hausa that has zero input, or Yoruba that is the backbone of Nigerian economy?

Dont you feel cheated when Ibo want the tax from Ypruba to be used to develop their "tax-free" region?
What kind of bullshyyte we have here?

If Yorubaland is tax free would there be a land of refuge for Ibo migrants to escape to? No.

I hate their stewpid "tax-free" chest beat.

I will choke a tax dodger!

We do dodge tax! You should see us on market day dodging tax. Perhaps we are just better at collecting it. You should see the tax collectors on market day too.

Its not a tribal thing. No one anywhere wants to give their hard earned money to government, especially if the government is believed to be corrupt.

Below is Her Majesty's Revenue Collectors going after tax dodgers!

If the Word can manifest in Human form, I believe it disrespectful, by human standards, to address Him as a "what". A being of that sort is certainly deserving of our every respect.

Forget "respect"! angry

especially if it's going to make you disrespect yourself by being dishonest and refusing to acknowledge the truth. If you are [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+6%3A31&version=NIV]dishonest to yourself, you'd be dishonest to me your neighbour[/url].

Acceptance of defeat.

Respect! Never thought you could admit such a thing.

We, Nigerians, are our problem. When we do not use the brains in our heads' our ideas are likely to be corrupted with ignorance. So in order to rid our nation of corruption we must kill the ignorance in our heads since it is the root cause of corruption in our nation.

Please know that I am not easy to understand, as I am repeatedly told. So part of the blame here is mine. But those who try, and think, get me.
So, again, Respect!

Christianity Etc › Re: Is There Such Thing As Paradise? by budaatum: 7:43pm On Jun 04, 2020

I already answered your question, Amujale, numerous times.

budaatum:
Yes there is a place called "paradise". You are just assuming and looking for it in the wrong place.

Its also known as "The Kingdom of God". An English word for it is Peace of Mind. And it is [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+17%3A20-37&version=NIV]written in the book that some call fake[/url], where it is to be found, though, many would assert it's a different place entirely with no evidence to support their claim. But I too have merely asserted here, you might note, since only those who find Peace of Mind can possibly know what Peace of Mind is.

Amujale:
What are you disagreeing with?

I have no interest in rhetoric.

Again, what is it that you are disagreeing with?

Is there such a place as 'paradise'?

This isnt a question about the 'heavens', nor about an expression, is there such a place called paradise?

Christianity Etc › Re: A Challenge To The Christians! by budaatum: 7:38pm On Jun 04, 2020

Kobojunkie:
Why a "What"?

Very intelligent observation on your part.
That, however, is the question. So, think.

And no. It's not a trick question.
One must know "what" one is following.

You believe that because you are Yoruba.

Yorubas are urban dwellers and to sustain urbanism you need amenities. This is why tax is important.

Do people in village worry about tax the way people in city do? No.

Moreover people that have never had kings are clueless about state rulership and thus do not have need for taxation.

Ibo enwe eze!
As my inlaws say, Ibo has no king.

Well, perhaps the Ibos need to learn about civic duty more than most but every tribe ought to know too if Nigeria is to progress.

John 8 vs 12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

For the above, we would first need to answer the question, What is Jesus?

Care to have a go? Try to limit to what you understand, if you can. I am very uninterested in what is believed.

Indeed it doesn't. A vacuum would be like me stringing random rettels hertoget nad imingcla hyte evah meos stro fo aniemng atth enoeyan nca dernandst!

I might as well be speaking ancient Inca as far as anyone is concerned, which is indeed why I explain my Peace of Mind and gave you an English example as context. So, hardly a vacuum.

Amujale:
That is to say, that expression is borrowed from a foreign extremist ideology and will always be traced back to that fictitious concept.

No! Amujale! An expression may be borrowed from absolutely anywhere, as we constantly do find in the English Language that constantly borrows from French, Latin, Greek, and even parts of Africa, etc, without anyone tracing them back to their origin. Or, when did you last eat a banana and recognise banana came from the Wolof language? Some borrowed words are even given a meaning that is the totally opposite to what they originally meant! And by Jove if we do not take the myths of Plato as what Socrates may have said and done!

Would I be wrong if by "vacuum", you actually mean, 'box'? It sure sounds like you are trying to make words mean only what you say they might mean, hence, your box. I assure you that can only work if buda abrogates the use of buda mind to you so you get to tell buda what to think and how to reason and what words might mean. And if I were going to insult you, Pastor Amujale, is what I would call you, and buda would have to be your sheepie. But I know you respect and regard buda far too much for that.
