Christianity Etc › Re: As Above So Below by budaatum: 2:46pm On Jun 12, 2019
The Principle of Correspondence

"As above, so below; as below, so above."
The Kybalion


This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life. The old Hermetic axiom ran in these words: "As above, so below; as below, so above." And the grasping of this Principle gives one the means of solving many a dark paradox, and hidden secret of Nature. There are planes beyond our knowing, but when we apply the Principle of Correspondence to them we are able to understand much that would otherwise be unknowable to us. This Principle is of universal application and manifestation, on the various planes of the material, mental, and spiritual universe—it is an Universal Law. The ancient Hermetists considered this Principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the obstacles which hid from view the Unknown. Its use even tore aside the Veil of Isis to the extent that a glimpse of the face of the goddess might be caught. Just as a knowledge of the Principles of Geometry enables man to measure distant suns and their movements, while seated in his observatory, so a knowledge of the Principle of Correspondence enables Man to reason intelligently from the Known to the Unknown. Studying the monad, he understands the archangel.

jesusjnr:
For the US is the undisputed world leader and No 1 superpower on Earth, so could it possibly be a coincidence that it was a nation which was built on the foundations of religious principles as was clearly reflected in the inscription of "In God We Trust" in her national currencies that holds that position?
Does the Arabic on Nigeria's currency mean Nigeria was built on a foundation of Islam?

You studied all night and "expected pass with flying color" huh Did somebody tell you "studying all night" is what would make you "pass with flying colours"?

People, please educate op on what to do to pass with flying colours!

Politics › Re: Abiola Mandate Vs Shagari Mandate by budaatum: 1:01pm On Jun 12, 2019
You were probably not born when Buhari kicked Shagari out. People were dancing in the street! And you should have seen unruly Nigerians queuing under bubu's War Against Indiscipline, which had become the rampant norm under Shagari.

The incompetence, indiscipline and looting in that government was the worst ever, until Jonathan Ebele's with his Bad luck!

There must be something about teachers. They don't exactly steal themselves (I at least have no reason to call GEJ or Shag, looters or thieves), but those under them tend to loot with impunity for some odd reason.

Christianity Etc › Re: I Keep Seeing Myself In My Secondary School,in My Dreams by budaatum: 12:24pm On Jun 12, 2019
frank317:
Listen to me... The secondary school stage is when we are teenagers and eager to understand and live life. Its a significant learning stage where we feel so much fear, excitement and anxiety over things. We want to experience the world, even though we are not mature enough to handle the world.... We want to love, be brave, be bad, be popular, etc despite our mind not being able to handle the outcomes of this desires.

The bad news in Nigeria is the we do not have good parenting system to guide these young adventurous teenagers.

The constant dream of this period is a reflection of the most exciting period of your life. There was so much adventures like... Reading to pass exam, not wanting to b in trouble with school authorities, trying to please ur friend, falling in love with that girl u can't talk to, imagining sex, trying to please u demanding parents etc... Everything is stored in ur secondary memory which replays when u sleep. It usually lasts a long time of ur life... By the time u are working and trying to get married, ur hidden(unknown) anxiety about ur past resolve with ur achievements and ur mind will gradually let go of the dreams.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY SPIRITUAL NONSENSE.

but u can chose to believe in what ever u want and run to a pastor or native doctors as stupid Nigerians would do. U can chose to make caricature of urself out of an ordinary secondary school dream.
2 like for you!

I asked a question which you are yet to answer.

What is that which you KNOW?

Let's start from there.
I answered you!

I know that you believe stuff you make up inside your head and refuse to check the evidence. I also know today is Wednesday, June 12, 2019.

I'm sorry buda but I had to come back to this because the bolded seems to send the wrong message that you are reneging on our initial agreement that either your budaatum moniker or my both jesusjnr monikers goes down on the first day of next year depending on how my prophecy pans out.
Stop right there! I am not reneging on anything. In fact, I can't if I wanted to since the day you chose will surely come and one of us would become a nobody. Or have you forgotten what we staked on? I'll post it for you again. And link to your post!

but you have really done well, so can you now tell me about your new faith?
Lol vaxx! It's no different to my old faith, just that people need labels though I find them a bit of a bore. I'm discussing with HenryDion who thinks my new faith requires me to believe, for instance, and I'm waiting for him to show me the evidence for his claim. It should be interesting considering I find "believing" to be stupid.
Christianity Etc › Re: How God Created Light by budaatum: 9:19pm On Jun 11, 2019
Shepherd00:
The Light in Heaven was never created either. What does the Bible say?
Revelation 22:5
Never again will night appear, and no one who lives there will ever need a lamp or the sun. ~~~The Lord God will be their light~~~, and they will rule forever.

Jesus didn't just started being the Light here on earth. He is still the Light even in heaven.
We are talking about the light in Genesis, Shepherd. Unless your point is "let there be light" and "there was Jesus"?
Christianity Etc › Re: God,Humans And AI by budaatum: 9:15pm On Jun 11, 2019
Actually, I don't think you understood what you've responded to! Here it is again. This time, note how the "believe" and the "know" are not in the same sentence as you alleged.

budaatum:
Buda to Dion
Stupid people 'believe'. And they do so because they lack evidence. Smart and intelligent people would rather know.
HenryDion:
You must be very confused lol..

You know nothing Buda, you are a mere believer. That is the membrane of everything you know and believe in.

It is evident to all that everything you think you know was doctored by a long aged book that has long served its purpose of mass control.

What do you really know? I'm curious here lol..

What you know, how can you prove it to be an objective truth and not from a delusional mind?

How can you even intertwine KNOWING with BELIEVE?

To believe, you don't need to know.

To believe, you don't need any sort of evidence.

Do i need to define BELIEVE in this context? cheesy

"Blessed are those who believe without seeing"

And seeing in here refers to evidence or knowing.. In other words, forsake evidence and KNOWING, and follow blindly.

Faith strives on believe, atheism strives on FACT and KNOWING.

I choose fact.

So buda, what do you KNOW?

vaxx:
It seems budaatum is no longer an atheist......... If so my prophesy come true. Do you remmeber that thread budaa. You can't be open minded and still be an atheist. Impossible.
You know I've always been openminded. Reading books tends to do that to one. You read one, you believe it, you read another that opposes what you believe so you dump it for a new belief, and after you've done that enough times, you'd pretty much learn that your beliefs would not withstand the next book you read so you just stop believing altogether.

You should hear jesusjnr trying to take credit for my supposed conversion.
Christianity Etc › Re: How God Created Light by budaatum: 8:55pm On Jun 11, 2019
Shepherd00:
You can post where it says 'And God created Light'.
Light on earth, it would seem from the text. Though there is argument that the sun, a light, was created in the heaven before "let there be light" on earth as vaxx has pointed out.

You prolly don't know buda very well(I mean who does) hence the misconception and misplaced replies.Take your time to process without a theist vs atheist judgement or bias what buda is saying. I'll leave the rest to buda.
No, he doesn't. So he makes up an image of buda in his head and believes that image is buda. An odd thing for an atheist, won't you say?

I know I'm not a "believer", at the very least. I also know my faith is based on fact and evidence and what I know.

In fact, I think you are the believer. Despite the evidence you seem to believe what you wrote up there. Or would you claim to have any evidence that buda is a believer? I'd love to see some.
Politics › Re: Lynda Chuba Ikpeazu Nominated Gbajabiamila For Speaker, Disobeying PDP by budaatum: 4:34pm On Jun 11, 2019
The duo said they were nominating Bago based on the spirit of equity, fairness and justice as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Both Gbajabiamila and Bago accepted their nominations to run for speakership.
Voting, therefore, commenced at exactly 3.43pm, using a secret ballot system.
So, they were not nominating Bago based on his record and ability to do the job?

Gbajabiamila! Gbajabiamila! Gbajabiamila!

I'm ignoring your rants is all. What you presented just showed how guilty you are of trying to rob God of God's Glory but I doubt you'd ever see it. Tatime, whom you mentioned, had way more of an impact on me long before you turned up and he is way too wise to steal from God as you do.

And yes, Michellekabod2 said in response to you just about all I would have said so there is no point in me engaging with you while I patiently await the dead day of 1st of January 2020 that you set for your self.

jesusjnr:
Are you kidding me budaatum? Profligacy reduced lately?

At the same time that you've been on my neck to bring evidence of my claims that you'd been spreading malicious lies about me here that I didn't have time to respond to? Lol!

And when I eventually did respond with three back to back posts, instead of responding to the posts starting from the first one to either disprove of my claims or to confirm it, you are talking about the figment of your imagination with Michelle.

Or is it because of Michelle that you didn't respond to any one of my three posts, for someone that couldn't trust you and me with her real picture, when I did trust you and her with my real picture and you did trust me and her with your real picture?

She's here so you can confirm my saying from yourself, if i'm lying against her or saying the truth.

For when I found out I was quite pissed up especially when we had seen ourselves as some kind of spiritual family then, but she could yet have the mind to deceive us to with a picture of someone else as herself.

And although i would yet maintain that she's special in a good way, that said something about her that she had serious issues of her own.

So leave Michelle's matter because you don't have any idea of what's actually going on between us, it's more than what meets the eye but I don't think that you would be able to fathom it at the spiritually shallow level you've chosen to remain in.

But if you yet choose to continue chasing shadows with your deluded bunch, well you are entitled to your choice.

I am happy that I have probably for old times sake made a painstaking effort
to make you see that you and your likes are chasing shadows, for y'all have serious issues of your own to worry about.

So if you choose to yet continue in the paths of your delusions despite my earnest efforts, it's not because I had not warned you.

Bye.

Butterflies are the symbol of beauty and change, and they represent the nature’s purest creation. Butterflies are flexible, and these people can change themselves based on the situation.

“Butterflies” have the gut to do important things. They may have hard time to escape the past (the cocoon), but later develop into a beautiful person, thanks to the hard times.

The source of the light already existed before but it could not yet enter the room until the drapes were opened. Hence, when the dark murkiness of the waters began to clear the light from the sun started penetrating the waters of earth. There came to be light. Unless you want to tell me the heaven too was dark and void.
No, I can not tell you "the heaven too was dark". The text implies nothing of the sort. The "formless and empty and darkness" was only upon the face of the earth.
