Christianity Etc › Re: Amazing Testimonies...read And Remain Bless. by davien(m): 9:54am On Mar 18, 2015 |
As an ex-winners member' and an ex-worker(and Presently an atheist) I've read, heard and have seen this claims firsthand.....they are nothing but appeals to faith and "god did it" conclusions.... Sadly a large number of these "testimonies" are encouraged "statements of faith"....where one who hasn't even experienced pleasant experiences could go and proclaim a testimony....so as to make it so by faith. |

ayusadeg: My comment is well explanatory, do you want to say you are not aware our God is a Man of war? He even initiated so many war against the enemies of His children by consuming them, When David killed Goliath was it counted on his neck as sin? if you say killing is killing that means all our soldiers and police men are going contrary to God's will abi? I think you need to study your Bible very well, I pray Holy Spirit will give you understanding! jowendy merely pointed out that the fault lies in your court, killing is a sin according to the "10 commandments"...because no context was provided for the act....So the bible's commandment contradicts itself. |

plaetton: The problem with scripture is that it is mostly quoted without proper context. For example, pauls letters to the corinthians is just that : A letter expressing his own personal and biased views on a number of issues that were relevant to his personal ambitions. They were not universal truths by any stretch.
Also, within such nebulous scriptures, anyone can find support and justification for just about any act or behavior, good or bad. Therefore, scriptures cannot be suitable as a universal arbiter of human affairs and interactions.
And by your last statement, I consider it an insult to insist that a mythical palestinian of the first century loves me. My own African culture is rich with mythical figures from which to construct and hold high my self-identity.
Emancipate your self from mental slavery, my dear friend.

folaski: my dear friend, i have observed with interest that all you do is to try and find fault in other people's points and not that i agree with your points but you never advance points to prove that God does not exist on your own without reference to anybody's defence of his / her faith. That's because of the way "god" is placed on a tenet of faith.....faith needs no disprove...because it is an admission of lack of evidence and thus it cannot be substantiated and is indistinguishable from make-believe. |

Islam › Re: Harvard Recognises Quranic Verse As One Of The Greatest Expressions Of Justice by davien(m): 5:58pm On Mar 16, 2015 |
Abuamam: The two analogies are not comparable. However, looking at the Hindu quotation, it does aptly (in a metaphoric way) describe the power of atomic bombs. Really now? regarding atomic bombs in light of hindu scripture is not the same as regarding justice in light of Islam? Do tell us how they differ.. It will therefore make that statement of the Hindu scriprures true to a certain extent. Really now? so what isn't it true for then? However, the radiance of the bomb is NOT anywhere like the Splendor of the Mighty One; if the Creator is intended. So you have a value? Because one can't make comparison of radioactivity without numbers... BTW, get things straight. We know without the Havard statement, that it is true. We just point out that it is good that scholars recognize the Truth. How did you come about that conclusion and does it give credit to allah in any way? |

joywendy: mmmmm.........
what do you define as killing?
so when a person has Ebola and he is suffering in pain and death is sure why continue to prolong the persons suffering?
What do you then say about killing in self defense?
sin or not? So the question should now be are the commandments moral?....because no motive behind killing is even mentioned...it's just an order to not kill. |

Islam › Re: Harvard Recognises Quranic Verse As One Of The Greatest Expressions Of Justice by davien(m): 3:47pm On Mar 16, 2015 |
So if harvard labelled an Islamic verse "the greatest expression of justice" therefore it's true?
If you believe that as the case,what would you say about the scientific director of the Manhattan project(the project responsible for the first nuclear bomb, thus issuing the nuclear age), whom quoted hindu scripture as an expression of the nuclear bombs' explosive power?....would that make it "true" too?
