Belief, or rather expression of belief has always been a choice, most times people choose with bias.
They know this and they still act like their expressions are purely unbiased and logical.

The moment they see anything that tries to even paint a slight picture that the Bible might be fabricated, they jump on it without reasoning that the survival of those ancient books is a marvel in itself.

It's common knowledge that we rely on copies and translations upon translations since we can barely understand the original language. Even Hebrew speakers have a hard time grasping biblical Hebrew...
Scholars that translate these things try to see the best ways to convey these words as English, sort out what seems legit among different copies that they could retrieve, compare and contrast, stuff like that, and in this process anything that comes out is clearly subject to HUMAN ERRORS.


You'll see them take this attribute of human error as evidence that the Bible is scam and that by implication, God is scam. They start making wise points and sounding so wise...
BUT when you present them with simple arguments as to why a creator (God) exists with sophisticated-socratic-intellectual-based points, their smart brain just can't seem to grasp. They start sounding empty, their smartness feature suddenly shuts down, they don't sound so wise again.
Trying to dodge questions/proper responses/conversations.


Believe me bro, belief, or rather expression of belief has always been a choice, and most times people choose with bias.
They know this and they still act like their expressions are purely unbiased and logical.

Very succinctly put my brother. I don't think that there is any statement more truer than this.

LordReed:
With so many damning evidences I dunno how anyone can come to a different conclusion unless they are just ignorant of the facts or being deliberately obtuse?

With all the damning evidences against Tinubu, do you not still call Tinubu president of Nigeria?

Please you people are just talking rubbish

Gabrielshow24:
You must understand that the bible is a compendium of books that have passed through the hands of different scribes. The bible is an inspiration of God but it doesn't negate the fact that humans were involved. From this, we find scribal errors and others in it but it doesn't take away from the overall theme—God's love. Contrary to your view, it just shows that God used imperfect humans.

I mean this so called almighty god didn't stop them from making that error and allowing that error to perpetuate into Christian theology for hundreds of years till date? As for this, it's the wisdom of God that allowed us to have extant manuscripts that we can use to compare if a scribal error had been made. So the bible is somehow decentralized in the sense that if one copy makes an error we have others to check it with, this way we can detect if it was an insertion, a marginal note or scribal error in terms of numbers.

Doesn't that make any claims that the Bible is the "word of God" moot? It doesn't, it just shows the medium used is imperfect.

Not to talk of the fact that we know that theevils will not lay down quiet and allow God's Word to be freely and undisturbingly flying about. They must surely do one or two additions and subtractions to it so that the simples will be deceived

FOLYKAZE:
I asked a JW some years back why KJV of the Bible contain 1 John 5:7 but NIV has a very short version removing the trinity. There is another Bible version can't remember precisely that removed that particular verse completely. He admitted he did not have answer and never return again.

Same thing applies to the ending of gospel of Mark, KJV had it but some version have it erased or kept it in the footnote, with a statement saying the verse is not present in the original manuscript. And again, it is a popular knowledge among critics that the story of adulterous woman and the ending of John is forgery. This prompt one to question the Bible as a whole.

1 John 5:7 is actually a theological gloss. The ending chapter of the gospel mark v9-20 is also a deliberate insertion. Nonetheless, the bible is still the word of God

With all these insertion, distortion and fabrication found almost everywhere in people's version of the the Bible, it is good standing for one to hold that the Bible is the word of God, never was an inspiration of God

With all the additions and removals is this not your word?

LordReed:

Image123 can you respond to the first part about the removed verses?

First challenge is what amounts to "complete word of God?" For this statement means different things to different people most especially as the bible also contains and repeats the words other people also expressed. So therefore, the word "complete" is in issue

Secondly, it's a change of Post which she does again when she shifts to asking about "removed verses" for even in here if I take away the words in bold, does it mean that this post is not your word?

No! It is still your word

See it, some animals are more equal than others

LongT:
just listen to yourself. Can you not smell sycophancy. Any way, it is synonymous to certain people.

Politics is sychophancy, so it's taken for granted

Does this man not know that Tinubu is the king and the governors are the little kings he installed to take care of his kingdom?

So why would the king's servants not come out to say bye bye?

Also, the Love of God too.

Wow, this is one of the most detailed breakdowns of Jehovah’s Witnesses I’ve ever read 👏👏. You didn’t just speak from emotions, you backed everything with their own publications. That’s what makes it powerful.

The failed prophecies (1914, 1925, 1975) alone are enough to expose them as false prophets, because the Bible is very clear in Deuteronomy 18:22 that if a prophecy doesn’t come true, God never spoke it.

I especially like how you pointed out their flip-flops on education, blood transfusion, disfellowshipping, and even pagan customs. It shows these rules are not “God’s law” but man’s ever-changing opinion.

Anyone still doubting should just compare what the Watchtower said before and what they’re saying now. The contradictions are endless.

Respect for putting this together 🙌. More people need to see this truth!

She probably still has those awakes where the rest of us had turned it to planes and boats and goalposts for table soccer

Nemesis don catch dis one ooo

pussyphilia:
Op you're a honest man. Many men have this same fantasy but would try to conform to what society expect. I also have this fetish and I have said instead of me to not experience the fantasy I go marry a hot wife and make her know I have such craving

It is not a fantasy but men trying to overcome the pain of cheating, the way we overcome many other painful things.

But, God has made it that there is no road at all. And it shall be the worstest thing that you have ever done in your life.

TheWebbers:
I no kolo bro. I dey normal. I just won fulfil this fantasy. If you get idea on how to convince my wife to accept it, please share.

Guy, don't bother yourself. There is no thing you can do to overcome the pain of your sweet wife's cheating.

There is absolutely no solution other than for you to be begging her not to cheat and doing everything you can to make her not to do so

Evolution makes no claims about the origin of life. It simply speaks on how that life diversifies. Abiogenesis and origin of life research are distinct fields of study from evolution.

Matter of fact, the Catholic Church's official stance on it is that it is true and doesnt conflict with with the Christian faith.

Ok.

But I contend that for a thing to evolve, it must be that same thing and not another thing. Exactly as we don't say a baby is an evolvement of the parents.

So I dispute that there is nothing like evolution because everything they claimed is an evolution , is simply a different thing separate from the original thing in question. Just like today's phones are not the same as our 3310s.

Who does not know that in this life you must be tested and that it is necessary to test a person?

Clearly, it is only rubbish that is in the minds and heads of atheists

justlove91:
@Bolded

This is a contradiction,
If you understand something, you don't need faith.
If you have faith in something, whether you understand it or not is irrelevant, infact it is because you don't understand it that's why you need faith.

What you people don't understand is you're not obligated to believe or hold as truth whatever you don't understand or lacks evidence.

Do you understand how your phone works? No

But do you not have faith in it? Yes

Then what is faith?

If you ever find the answer then you would know why understanding is faith

CoolUsername:
If evolution is a scam, why do disease pathogens routinely gain immunity to common medications and antibiotics?

As your body sweats to cool you up or as weed grow in spite of generator smoke, so also is it the work of God that living things adapt to changes in environment.

But we all know that the op is simply opposing the postulation of evolution as the source of life whereas things must first be created before they can evolve.

And their evolution even depends on if their Creator created them to evolve.

And funny I don't think you can call a new thing eg Badagry smugglers have modified Volvos and Camrys, that is clearly an evolution.

But it would not be exactly right to say this example is evolution

My only sister is married to an Igbo man from Imo State while we came from Ogun State...

My sister overheard her husband’s conversation with his brother in Igbo dialect, how his brother was shouting at him on the phone, asking why he refused to pay his wife’s bride price, [b]and the husband said to his brother that he will not pay it because my late father gave him a tough time since he didn’t want him to marry his only daughter. So to him, it is payback time.[/b]s
...

Eebo. Very very vengeful and never forgiving. I was afraid that your story did not end in you saying that your sister is missing.

Is it not better she leaves him?

OsinAmaka:
But he said that his woman is insisting that it is part of his responsibilities.

And he is still moving forward with the wedding?

Then tomorrow we will see him complaining.

Good bannies are still out there,even in this era where madness is being celebrated in our societies


But na only we ,men dey use our hands dey look for Nicki Minaj type of banny wey dey churchy....and thats so impossible....

Sometimes,I just look at my banny and smile . Despite the fact say she dey kolo sometimes but her type no too plenty again.... Imagine a graduate,wey go look into a once upon a time Keke rider and say--"babe,I believe say you go make am one day"

Please let's celebrate every good woman out there, especially the ones who believe in their men......For the fruit of their labour go soon ripe .

Talk true, she poor pass you!

Una never learn? Some start like this but by the time children drop una go see her true colour.

DoctorStanley:
..Frankly, with all. Even when he resurrected it was different - his disciples knew it was him but could no longer physically recognize him. He gave up that life and that is HUGE indeed!

See my comment to the guy above. Same to you

Hmm!

The argument enter sha. I find no fallt with it.

However, I do not agree with it by only 2% because He must be different after death exactly as even we too will be different after we die. So I think you are looking at the wrong end of the rope.

The sacrifice was done at the beginning eg His leaving The Throne, coming down become as a weak human being, disgracefully born in an animal house, (He no even get hotel or hospital)...

Even before He was murdered, He had already sacrificed a Lot.

DoctorStanley:
So in your mind the Jesus Christ you know and follow is a warring "commander in chief of armies"?
How do you reconcile that with "Prince of Peace", "turn the other cheek", "son of the living God", "Meek and mild" "pray for your enemies", etc.

When army and police rescue your father from kidnappers den, did you not thank them for giving you peace?

Peace is on the other side of War!

WeAfrique:
If someone dies… but knows they’ll be back in three days… is that really a sacrifice?...]

So when you plant knowing that you would harvest therefore, we should say that you have not planted?

People who have sense will see that finally democracy is dead and the king is ready to permanently control our lives.

From minimum wage to vehicle papers to rent and to court judgements to land/home ownership etc.

Slowly, the kings of the earth are taking our lives.

Nnamdipapa:
So, my grandfather with five wives, was he cheating or not?

If people thought your grandfather was a good and responsible person, then you
you already know the answer as shown by how his first wife and her family and the fair members of your family and his neighbours reacted when they all saw his acts and his desire of acquiring an extra woman.

But, if he is the useless wore eating person that we know, then you know that the whole wonders and pities the the womanstewpid enough or unfortunate to have married him

Nnamdipapa:
So what concerns women who sell their bodies with the topic of discussion? I don't see any correlation or you are just tryna build a strawman

They are relevant because most women sell/sold their bodies which is why you feel that you have a right to cheat while they don't.

But funny Tuface and Natasha prove you are wrong. If Tuface get mind make e go carry another woman weda e no go die.

Nnamdipapa:
Your opinion

More than that. It is an observable fact.

Women with honour and dignity don't marry men who have no honour, worth and dignity.

But since many women lose their honour and dignity by falling to the level of sexSellars, then even a blind, crippled man in a hut in Odogbolu bush has more worth than women who sell their bodies.

Only for such women to now be eager to marry drunken wore eating men, so how can they complain about their husbands cheating when they are actually the kings of it?
