Wilgrea7:
Happy Sunday wonderful people.

When it comes to religion, especially in Nigeria, questioning your specific religion or beliefs is something that's usually frowned upon. In any civilized society, it definitely shouldn't be the case...

The Bible did say "Taste and See that The Lord is Good" Psalm 34:8.

"Come now, let us reason together" Isaiah 1:18

"By Doubting, we are led to Questioning. By Questioning, we arrive at The Truth"

Maynman:
A robot is programmed, a robot has involuntary actions?
He acts exactly how he is programmed

AND IT IS WITHIN YOUR PROGRAMME TO CHOOSE!

Maynman:
A robot can also visit nairaland and create a thread, if it’s programmed into it.
I don’t have any choice to fly like a bird.

"if it’s programmed into it."

And then you forget that Choice always means voluntary decision to do or not do a thing.

Therefore, a robot may be programmed to come to nairaland to open threads, like a car must start because the key is turned in the ignition and all things in it battery, engine, fuel pump etc) work properly. And here, it has no choice

BUT CHOICE MEANS THAT THE ROBOT CALLED CAR HAS THE POWER TO CHOOSE WHETHER IT WOULD START WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY OR IT WOULD IGNORE YOU AND NOT START WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY EVEN WHEN EVERYTHING IN IT WORKS.

THAT IS THE CAR EXERCISING ITS POWER OF CHOICE.

And you know the difference.

We have no option. The way of man is not in himself. It is crazy sha

How can the way of chess be in the rook or pawn or queen?

Jeon:
I believe that God created everything, including Lucifer. He created Lucifer as a powerful anointed angel. However, Lucifer wasn’t satisfied with that, and he didn’t remain the anointed cherub that God created him to be.

Very Clear explanation, yet people talk nonsense. That is why they fail exams and are unemployable.

OBALOLA55:
VERY CORRECT!


THAT IS WHAT MUSLIMS CALL PRE-DESTINATION

You are talking rubbish!

WatchYourSix:
Lol...

So ...We are just robots programmed to do all we are doing now, includimg joining nairaland and opening a new thread ....and theres no way we could any differently....

u have no choice...
U are programmed
U life is a waste
In fact it is not a life..
It is non existent...

Yes we are robots but we are robots with given the ability to choose from the available options.

You enjoy the choice of either joining nairaland or staying off it.

You enjoy the choice of either opening a new thread or not doing so.

You enjoyed the choice of making this post or refusing to make this post.

You always had a choice!

Hope2014:
But he was a liar from the beginning.

Liar from "Our" beginning not his beginning.

Hope2014:
He was created by the Creator.

The psalm clearly said "womb and I said no thing saying that God did not create Satan for the records clearly stated that Satan was good at his creation and he chose to be evil later.

So no issue here.

Hope2014:
Psalm 58:3-4"The wicked are estranged from the womb:
they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:
they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;"

It seems Lucifer was created to be Satan. It was not his choice to be Satan but according to creator.

Satan did not have a womb birth or creation.

Have you not seen that some very wicked people have always been evil since they were young while most people grow learning to be wicked?

kimco:
Ahah...Am I gong mad here? Is this guy not saying the brain is not in the chest and that we grab our chest when we feel emotional pain? Am I the only one seeing that this guy is saying the pain is proceed in the chest?

Thank God, the records here exhibit precisely what I said and have been saying.

kimco:
Okay let's say I misunderstood you,and I am lying, help me understand. Where is emotional pain processed (not felt, processed)?

My case is not prove emotional pain, but to prove to you that you are more than your brain and flesh but also spirit capable of feeling pain which you did not physically touch with you skin and flesh or part of your body.

Which as the records show, you could not explain with your CNS, hence your personal attack.

[b]Abi na, You suppose run before na, dem borne you well make you nor run before?.

As I don know say you be madman as even you sef don confess, e dey normal say I suppose move .

armyofone:
Maybe cuz many like you refused to solve the problem assigned to them and would rather argue.

You do real eyes that you should not be responding by saying "maybe cuz".

No asked you the reason why "we refused to solve the problem" or in your mathematics, you are allowed to answer 1+1= "Akpos is Mad" instead of "2".

armyofone:
Solve the problem and if you don't know it, say so
Go to tutorials, attend class, study and go math lab for knowledge acquisition.

I don't care to solve this shit. I am very much ok with the ones I solve and have given me a sweet good life that I desired to have.

So, the hungry folks can solve it, if it would give them a good living.

hopefulLandlord:
First off, this topic is directed at those Christians who believe aborted babies definitely go to heaven to enjoy forever and ever. ..

There is nothing to believe. The Law is still The Law. "The soul that sinneth shall die"

So good reason will certainly foresee the likelihood that a baby in the womb did no sin and therefore is qualified to be re-given his life having had his first living being pregrownly terminated through no fault or collusion or connivance of his.

TenQ:
When did you decide to stoop this low?

Your self contradiction is not even evident to you!?

Under what circumstances is it legal for a Christian to commit MURDER?

See rubbish talk! "Christian doctor"- professional at aborting babies.

hopefulLandlord:
1. Abortion is murder

Murder of the baby. So the baby is the victim and not the person accused of a crime and standing trial liable to be punished.

hopefulLandlord:
If you are a believer in premise 2 then it makes sense to encourage abortion as a way of saving many souls that may end up perishing in hell.

This is cockroach shit because saving babies infer that they must have been in a harm full state, which they were not in at abortion, So, no person gets to save any baby here.

Therefore the score is zero "0", on the saving board.

[b]If you weren't a wack dunderhead you would have known that according to your own dumb logic buying his English makes you his slave as well.

On top of your emptiness, now madness? . No wonder, you no get sense! I beg make I run o, na madman be dis!

hornetclair:
[b]See your dirty small mouth like "slave" did you also buy his English

you fired the first shot!

So try buying some intelligence, school fees is me buying what he is selling, including his English!

Dear N/Landers,
i have been driving my Honda over a year now. I'm always tempted to change the gear oil even when the gear has never given me headache for once.
My former mechanic then told me to always change the oil every 3 months. This has got me confused and i dont know what to do
please your advice will go a long way, and i will appreciate if this can be pushed to front page

Honda says something like 3 or 5years. Check your manual.

My Own is 8 years and I have not changed it and I have travelled wella.

Every thing in the Bible is always attacked by misinterpretation

sotall:
You mean a Toyota Camry gets spoilt or damaged or irreparable when Mr Toyota says it should?

Toyota Cressida, starlet and Tercel answer you. They are more than spoilt and damaged. They are dead and gone or dying as people have confessed exactly as you saw them bashing that youth corper who used his allowee to buy our dearly beloved and cherished V-Boot.

sotall:
What logic is this?

Does Mr Toyota have the ability to make a Toyota that never gets spoilt?

Or a Toyota that can be driven forever without repair?

Injury and damage is the way of life and living but in all these things "Repair" is the life giver, for injury and damage leads to destruction and death.

But repair is renewal of life.

And repair is under what we call "maintenance"

And no Toyota can maintain itself.

So without Mr. Toyoda, the Toyota will die!

obailala:
From your comments on this thread, I already see you're an anti-education advocate who believes that conventional schooling is pointless because true education comes naturally. I dont have any further words.

No reasonable person can come to this judgement for no thing I said even suggests this.

Rather, you are the one revealing that you see things in accept all or reject alll manner.

Ezyp:
Honestly, if you were to be an engineering student, you will appreciate this word problem mathematics. Yeah you have your point but, any engineers, when they think back to their childhood days, they will appreciate such maths problems that seems shit to you.

An engineering student would have still learnt what he requires even if this was not taught in secondary school just like the other things that are not taught in secondary school.

So, it may have a place in engineering but it certainly does not flow with the state of things in secondary school as the young people there are still trying to find themselves and this just disrupted their lives and made life difficult.

TheSourcerer:
.. , plus when you die your brain cannot feel pain as pain occurs?

We all see that pain was on the bodily surface in contact with what is causing the pain eg the pain in the finger is in the finger and not in the head where the brain is.

Your Honour, this question is ambiguous!

1) "Bako is twice as old as he was five years ago."

Meaning, the person talking is not sure. For it is either he is 2 times his age 5 yrs ago or he is not (maybe 3 times or 8 times his age 5yrs ago or his age has not changed), which is it? For we don't know, so how can you be so unsure?

Secondly, did his age change in an unusual way during the past 5 years? How is this important? We all know that every year, one year is added to a person's age, so what is the big deal about "5 years ago"?

2) "His mother was then 6 times as old as he was."

Which "was"?

Is it the "was" before he was 5yrs ago"? Or the "was" after "5yrs ago"?

The question is ambiguous, we all know that devil lives in the details!

obailala:
Like I said before, you might loosely think that life bestowed your analytical and critical abilities on you naturally; but you're very wrong!

Where else could it come from? Have you not seen that even babies are quite impressively intelligent even before they are put in schools?

Thinking and Analysis is Naturally Given and natural living just ensures that we use it.

obailala:
Just like your physical body, your brain needs to be exercised for it to develop and be sharp. Those arithmetic and algebraic problems you solved in primary school helped to accelerate your brain development. That's the reason the enlightened world emphasises on the importance of basic education for all.

Same as the task of building kites and plucking fruits and solving living problems associated with growing up.

obailala:
You're free to disagree with me in this but your disagreement wouldnt change this fact. The people who instituted these things thousands of years ago, and those who still insist on the imperativeness of basic education are not fools.

I have already disagreed with you so that is settled, however you also appreciate the fact that the same person who teaches the Truth yesterday can also teach you a lie today.

And that the most important thing here is "Would you know when he lies?" Would you be able to spot the Lie and direct yourself?

Lastbornbuns:
Nobody is about to ask you this type of question in real life. However, you learn maths for the transferable skills it teaches you (logical, critical and problem solving skills).

Then why bother us? Most especially as all the while they have been teaching us, we see that we are being taught the very things we have seen and met in life.

But, they know how we operate which is because a person has been telling us the Truth since, therefore, everything he says is True.

Even when this is True, God has still given in us our personal protection from Lies such that when we meet a Lie, we will stop.

For Lies do not key into Nature!

maasoap:
Ignorance at its peak. Every piece of technology around you and in your home has more or little to do with the knowledge of Maths

Arrange your head right bro, I did not complain about all maths.

obailala:
Oh yes, Bako's age isnt your business, but the essence of these kind of brain teaser questions when growing up was to stimulate and develop your brain centres so you may be able to think analytically and on your feet when you grow up.

Life and Natural living has already taken care of this so this just an unnecessary disturbance especially as there is still so many goodness giving things to learn.

obailala:
Unfortunately, not everyone would ever be able to grasp these things, even in adulthood; but even if you couldnt, the very fact that you tasked your brain as a child trying to solve these kind of problems, it already helped your brain to develop.

No it didn't. I already knew how to think long before this attack came and that good thinking is what keeps me focused to know that like in chess, you can only win when you get the "Check mate" with the death of the king.

So it is stupid to pursue queens and rooks and pawns. And this question is a pawn chase, a thief's sleight of hand and a magicians trick!

Onewazobia:
Though I do not have much time now to respond to your ignorance, i will like you to know that life it self would have been vague without mathematics.
No innovations nor inventions has ever takes place in the history of man without the input of mathematics.
Bro, the device in your hand is a product of binary.
Regards to your fam.

Our Bini carvers who made the great wall which used to go round Benin city did not do so with compasses and dividers and calculations, nor the people who invented our mud houses and pots and cutlasses/hoes.

We already have all this calculations in Nature and Nature guides us.

So, mathematics is natural and I am not against it.

But nature has also guided us to know a Lie when we meet it. And the very first thing about a Lie is that it is not Naturally Occurring.

So, I am not against mathematics, I am against Lies and I am saying the teachers of mathematics also plant and teach Lies along with the other Truths we have seen, so WATCH OUT!

hornetclair:
You see why I hate daft mugus on this forum that carry their "I too know" heads everywhere even when its not needed. Everything is lie and deceit to them. Religion is no longer the only lie even Mathematics and it's use is also deceit. common sense did not tell you that you will not be on nairaland today or even own a phone without mathematics. My pity goes to you and the 32 daft goats that liked your daft comment.

Fallacy of "because he made the phones therefore everything he says is True!"

Even with your education, you are still an ignorant "yes masa" white man's slave, even after your masa has long since left your House and does not give a tooth pick whatever happens to you.

Ditto, the same way he buys my jollof rice I created is still the same way I bought his phones. 1-1. So, he is no better than me.

He is definitely better than you his slave, but he is no greater than I.

So get properly educated or remain the ignore-ant Yes Masa Slave. Your Choice, your bed!

Okbaba:
Today you are encouraging mental laziness; tomorrow you will blame Africa of being backward forgetting that it is this kind of mental exercise that prepares and sharpens young scientist minds for advances and discoveries

This is why we are backwards. Because, they have planted in us teachings that will be unprofitable to us meanwhile, in their own places, they are studying all the things which are True.

That was why China shut down and used what they had learner to learn to do their own thing

And it all starts with knowledge of The Truth; Natural Truth!
