It's you that's not being straightforward.

What's the meaning of merry Xmas?

What does juju have to do with this?

You only reply when you can come up with something negative.

At least,I said no reply except you can stop the negativity.

Are you filled with negativity?

You can't be on my Christmas list Hell. You've done nothing worthy to be put on it for.

Don't give up trying though. There's always next Christmas and the one after and lots more after those. You will overcome one day.

Saw this while bringing up scriptures to back up my post but my view has now shifted to a mixture of both New and Old Testament as GOD is very merciful in the New Testament.

You hacked your mind. Praise God!

What you posted shows those people would have trembled and covered their eyes and ears to God if God but spoke or appeared before them. I mean, hear them,

18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die.”

See below those who dared to see God. Or rather, those God is written to have had mercy on to allow God to be seen.

When you see Moses standing and talking to GOD inside "the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking" you won't need me to convince you that GOD is the one speaking to Moses

Unfortunately for me, all I currently have is a book so I better open my eyes when reading it.

i meant the first post you were accussing me of being a dishonest person.

buda am not rejecting any help! If i were to be in that drowning pastor's shoes i'd grab the offer.

You are a dishonest person who tells himself lies.

Was help not offered to you when you said you were drowning.

Did you not refuse to apply?

But view it from another angle what if the pastor was waiting on God to speak directly to him?

You are repeatedly asked for evidence for this your claim but all you do is assert and assert and assert, which just reminds me of a God who places cherubims with swords to guide the way to the Tree of Life so we humans may not pluck its fruit and live forever.

YOU SAID, ''...you place a barrier around your immense talent which must not be caged.''

: You're making an assertive statement. You concluded that I am placing a barrier around 'my' talent. You also categorically stated that it must not be caged.

I wasn't the one who claimed I was limited?

That's the barrier? That I can't get feedback from people?

We could start with that one, I guess.

I read your diary and the magic in your words provokes thought in my mind. I can not express them however because of that barrier which I think is representative of some other barrier. Do know that buda may be wrong. Only you know your mind.

"Not be caged" means, express yourself. You are too able and knowledgeable not to.

Nairaland members are your family and you love us all dearly? Ogaunty, no dey whine me. Count me out (jk...). So you love dapshit and other redpillers too abi? Especially that bitter one.

Barrier? Because I'm not (yet) monetizing my writing?

Yes, Nol. Even dap and pillers. It is sinful to not love the creations of God. I have their type as family and love them despite, and I would be foolish to not love those who know not what they do.

Magnoliaa:

"Monetizing my writing" is the self imposed barrier on the power of the mind.

In the beginning is the knowledge of the use of Words after which are all other things created and added unto thee.

sonmvayina:
I clearly understand, but I sincerely doubt you do.

We are not present when does things or events occurred. All we try to do is to make sense of context.

That context will include the minds of those who "trembled and stood afar off" when they heard "the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking", and the minds of those who wrote the story, and the minds of those who now read it and claim they heard God, along with just about every major thought on the book and the written word throughout the history of time, and our collective context, and our individual personal contexts too plus some.

Its not like your context is my context (perhaps due to different schooling, upbringing, effort, capability, interests, resources, time, location, etc), and we obviously do not place the words we've been using in the same context, as you must have noticed.

That's why I like Jesus by the way. He is written to have said, "love your God", which many do claim they do, then he added, "love your neighbour", which most think they do though they don't bother with their neighbours context.

I'm glad we are evolving in our understanding of the Prophet Einstein's Relativity.

Exodus 20:18 & 22
18 "Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. 19 Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us,"
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven

Hack what you read please.

Are you suggesting the language of God that was very distinct when we read Moses heard God was, "the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking" that the people saw?

Apart from the fact that they obviously did not hear nor see any God (except perhaps for Ogun the God of Thunder), do you seriously believe evidence provided by those who "trembled and stood afar off"?

Sonmvayina, can you see even God coming from what you call "pagan" as opposed to what I'd call the religion of understanding what you read?

I did not intentionally mention you in a thread you can't respond to; I mention people like that in my diary, asking questions or just sharing a thought.

Anyway, I've just been seeing your posts arguing and I humorously asked that question, wondering whether it's because you're not celebrating, that's why you have 'time.' Even arguing on Christmas Day.

Anyway, thanks for the thought-out response.

Pity it's seen as arguing or that arguing is seen as a negative thing.

Christmas is a huge opportunity to provoke thought by exchanging ideas and understanding of the fabulous stories behind it. Besides, Nairaland is family. With whom else shall I spend some of today if not you all here whom I dearly love?

I like your diary a lot and have been meaning to tell you you place a barrier around your immense talent which must not be caged.

Another nice try to twist the verse again!

Notice that GOD said: "I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever."
God did not say that the people may see HIM.

The people did not hear God. It was Moses, we read, who told them what God commanded him to tell them:

So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak. Exodus 19:7

Then the people saw a dense cloud and believed him.

9 The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.

At no time did the people see or hear God except that which Moses told them.

25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.

Branty (bro-aunt) Budaatum, you no dey celebrate Kiilismas? cheesy.

Why ask a question in a thread I can't respond in? Are you afraid I might answer?

Christmas, as in the 25th of December, has been handed down from antiquity as sonmvayina was trying to teach here but failed because he does not quite understand [it] himself

buda does not only celebrate Christmas Day with a long bath on 24th and a long solitary reflective walk on 25th then eat and drink after, buda observes Christmas in the entire month of December by reflecting on the kindnesses received in the year, reciprocating and setting aspirations.

Christmas is after all an opportunity to consciously evolve and be reborn. It would be foolish and ungrowthy to not treat it as treasure.

Nice try to twist this!

Does Exodus 19:9 not come before Exodus 24:1-3

Exodus 19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

So from this event the people were sure Moses was a true prophet of GOD to this day

So people saw "a thick clowd" and claimed they saw God and you believe them?

Don't you think Moses did a lot more than that they had seen that could have been enough for them to think he might be a prophet?
