It's this easy:

After death, what if you don't find Jesus but instead you find Anubis waiting to judge you?
Would it matter, since the standards are pretty much the same? After all, neither Jesus nor Anpu (Anubis' Egyptian and proper name), particularly demanded that one just believe they exist, contrary to popular belief.

Ihedinobi3:
[4]Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him.
TheArranger, I would like you to read the above very carefully please, and pay special attention to what obinna says below.

No, it's not a waste of time! You can only say that if you do not understand how detrimental 'bad reasoning' is for a society! Such nations tend to be backward, and people who live in it die young!

Take advise from Ihedinobi3 as quoted above, and understand we atheists are not just struggling "against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms", all that have clouded minds for thousands of year. If you understand the level the theist you discourse with is at and meet them at it, you're more likely to drag them out of the rigidity their mind is in, but even if you don't, your own mind will be improved for it.

obinna58:
Your headline says it all so focusing on it, it's not an endless debate, there are lot's to learn esp for the open minded ones seeking to explore, I came here a Christian, now all I see in religion is lies,deceit, manipulation and destruction and truly that's what it is.
People deserve a better life which religion can't offer
Just bear in mind that obinna58 is like the one virgin who returned to say "thank you". There's another 9 or so who just haven't bothered to come and inform us that they have evolved.

And watch the videos in frosbel2 thread. It's guns and bullets for devil shooting!

Finally watched this yesterday. Had to reserve half of it for a bath and would love to complain my water got cold, but it was worth the watch, despite my earlier comment. If it wasn't stuff I was already aware of I'd claim not only my body, but my mind, was cleaned too afterwards, except it wasn't dirty, my mind, that is, before watching it, thank gott!

Very worth the time for budding wanna learners out there, and a thread to be revived every so often, frosb!

CBS Poll in the Aftermath of the #SOTUAddress
76% Approve of President Trump's State of the Union Speech
24%
Disapprove of it
Dissaprove is 25%, they didn't count me! But I remember Hillary polling high too which is why she is Potus, right?

I don't expect the 75% to get it. Mr maga throws a few black people out of jail and gives what's seeming, invisible maga$ to some, and a lot of people love him. What they refuse to see is how he's just a cloak for the dollars going into his cronies pockets and the numerous other people who get to suffer because of him! Imagine letting that Atiku into America and staying in his hotel! Isn't that illegal already? And you wanna make me think NNPC was not on the table? You all must think I never read about the goose and its golden eggs and I'm stupid!

You ain't seen Trump Derangi Syndrome yet! You wait till the next election. Unless the Dems put up an outright unvotable (and to be honest, they just might, stupid as they sometimes can be), someone will burn down the White House if Mr maga gets 4 more years. That's how bad some got it, justifiably, in my most arrogant opinion!

And before anyone says it, yes, buda has that Trump Derangi Syndrome, the uncurable strain at that!

Ubenedictus:
Budatum, of course diefication is an ancient christian belief, but to be called by God's name means to be set apart for him.
Deification actually predates Christianity since it was practised by the Greeks, the Romans, the Egyptians and the Chinese long before Christ.

As to it's meaning, I think we are way beyond simply "setting apart", though that might depend on what you mean. Do you mean it in the "you are gods" sense?

Shopkeeper, you need to stop spreading these lies, or rather, alternative facts, and join the true conspiracy theorists.

Everyone here knows Mrs Hillary Clinton is the current President of America and the swamp, and that most honest Trump is going to jail, wrongly!

Or isn't that so, basilico?

"Greater things than he did" he said, would we do, which, considering he was divine himself, is quite a lot, and when I look out there today, I can't but agree with him with our raising the dead and all.

My hope is this wonderful thread will help flesh out what it is that makes one able to be called by God's name.

Among my Circles it's generally believed known that
Sounds to me like you and your "Circles" love your conspiracies, basilico.

It's just a pity that Hillary won the last Presidential election! If Trump had won and was President now, I can just see how he would tell all the security agencies to lock her up first and investigate her afterwards, after all, with all you've posted here, she'd have to be guilty of something! But unfortunately, and what a pity, she is President of the United States of America, in charge of all the agencies that would have been investigating her, and can just order them to do as she wishes, and the Senate and the House, both of which her party control, are ignoring all her atrocious crimes and stupidly shamelessly support her!

But don't you worry. Her four years will soon up. She only has two more years of immunity! By the next election (or the one after in six years time at the most, though I doubt she could last that long as the American public can not possibly ignore all the evidence you present here and give her two terms, lailai never!), her time will up, and I don't think, least I hope, former Presidents don't have immunity from prosecution. Then our dear Trump, the gods willing, will be President Trump of the United States of America in charge of all the agencies at last and can order them to drain the swamp and lock her up. And while he's at it, he can ban abortions, and the pill, and condoms, and sex outside marriage in a church even, and our beloved United States of America will finally be MAGA!

Meanwhile, I smh!

The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Theology contains the following in an article titled "Deification":

Deification (Greek theosis) is for Orthodoxy the goal of every Christian. Man, according to the Bible, is 'made in the image and likeness of God.'. . . It is possible for man to become like God, to become deified, to become god by grace. This doctrine is based on many passages of both OT and NT (e.g. Ps. 82 (81).6; II Peter 1.4), and it is essentially the teaching both of St Paul, though he tends to use the language of filial adoption (cf. Rom. 8.9—17; Gal. 4.5—7), and the Fourth Gospel (cf. 17.21—23).
The language of II Peter is taken up by St Irenaeus, in his famous phrase, 'if the Word has been made man, it is so that men may be made gods' (Adv. Haer V, Pref.), and becomes the standard in Greek theology. In the fourth century, St. Athanasius repeats Irenaeus almost word for word, and in the fifth century St Cyril of Alexandria says that we shall become sons 'by participation' (Greek methexis). Deification is the central idea in the spirituality of St. Maximus the Confessor, for whom the doctrine is the corollary of the Incarnation: 'Deification, briefly, is the encompassing and fulfillment of all times and ages,' . . . and St. Symeon the New Theologian at the end of the tenth century writes, 'He who is God by nature converses with those whom he has made gods by grace, as a friend converses with his friends, face to face.' . . .

Please, when my bubu wins, insha allah Jesus Christ amen, I would like you to help put his feet to the fire so that a time will eventually come when the system becomes cleaner and reputable people like this woman (I assume) can be the sort of people we vote for. Until then, the hope is to keep the worst crooks out.

Atiku has no bearing of "the enormity of moral and mental burden" required. He is in fact immorality and the burden personified!

And thank you!

Definitive:
I hope (Pastor!) Oby now understands (Nigerian/black African) politics better! I hope she would apply this experience when next she opens her mouth to blame the government.

She didn't win elections o. One political party simply made her "emergency" presidential candidate without any known party convention issues - yet she was obviously harried being the scenes.

She saw the corrupt waters that those who become President of Nigeria have to transverse before nearing Aso Rock and she ran. Did she ever think she was going to win the Presidential elections because of those who relate with get on twitter or similar suicidal media? Those people don't have PVCs, and if they do, they wouldn't go through the risks of polling booths and electoral violence.

That's why she should praise the government that have succeeded through these political party issues, won elections and invited a "saint" like her to come and run a ministry.

Oby should face reality add help Nigerians and herself by telling the world the Nigerian reality at the several levels she knows it, this being one of them.

To imagine that her former party has now turned to support Mr Buhari only tells us the enormity of moral and mental burden the President has to bear, whether he wishes it or not, yet the Daura man and his short lawyer deputy would continue to surge on despite the enormous challenges, as they try to lead Nigeria to the Next Level.
Christianity Etc › Re: Your Beliefs by budaatum:
The Judaists did not mind Jesus and his theses or see them as "something foreign" either, and rather "saw the continuity" and converted en masse? If they had seen them as "something foreign" without "continuity" they might have excommunicated him, or crucified him, right? Let's just thank God they didn't and converted en masse.

The truth is, hardly anyone converted from Judaism to Christianity! Christianity itself didn't even exist until hundreds of years after Christ died, and even today, a couple of thousands of years later, the Jews aren't having any of it.

But the truth perhaps shouldn't matter to we Catholics, I guess. We have our "History according to the Church", and it's the only truth!

The poor woman was naive if she didn't know they were 419ing her!


“First, they assumed that I was one of those who served in government and had a stash of looted public funds hidden somewhere to expend on the elections. When they realized that was not the case, they made a second wrong assumption by believing that I would be willing to go and obtain foreign cash to prosecute my Campaign"

The leadership of the Party became frustrated that I was not using my global network to get some countries, organizations and foreigners to donate money to their Party like the APC and PDP do. The more I told them that I was committed to abide strictly to the provisions of the Electoral Act and INEC rules on campaign finance and was not going to negotiate that in order to satisfy their monetary demands, the more frustrated they became.

“In all these, the options before me were clear. I could give in to the ACPN’s desperation and use any means necessary to satisfy those fellows or I could uphold my values and leave their fold. I could succumb to their pressure, pretend as though I did not see how utterly corrupt their ransom demands were and continue with the campaign or I could step up at great personal cost to myself, and say ENOUGH.
Christianity Etc › Child Buried In Snow Dies For Not Learning Bible Verses by budaatum(op): 10:28pm On Feb 04, 2019
A seven-year-old boy has died after allegedly being buried alive by his own parents for not knowing the Bible.

Little Ethan Hauschultz was reportedly buried in 'his own little coffin of snow' while in the care of court-appointed guardians Timothy and Tina Hauschultz.

The couple are accused of dishing out sickening punishments to Ethan, including holding a 44-pound log for two hours every day for a week.

The punishments were typically given when the boy failed to memorise versus from the Bible, according to police reports.

Timothy and Tina Hauschultz's 15-year-old son is also alleged to have tortured the youngster, according to Newsweek.

It is not known exactly how the Hauschultzs are related to Ethan, but they are listed as his legal guardians, reports the Mail.

The couple's teenage son has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide, while Timothy, 48, has been charged with felony murder and felony contributing to the delinquency of a child.

Tina, 35, is charged with failing to prevent bodily harm and intentionally contributing to the delinquency of a child.

The 15-year-old boy told police that he was in charge of supervising Ethan and his twin, who were allegedly both being punished by carrying logs after failing to recite 13 Bible verses of Timothy's choosing.

Ethan's birth mother Andrea Everett spoke about the moment she arrived at her son's side during his hospital treatment.

She said: "When I got there Ethan did not have a heartbeat and his temperature was 23 degrees".

They worked on him for five hours, giving him CPR the entire time, and still couldn't get a heartbeat. There was no brain activity.

"I want justice for my son, and the person responsible should go to jail for a very long time."

All three defendants are due to make their first court appearance today.
