You are not saying anything sensible that I even need to consider.
The totality of existence is what is referred to as God. We are part of him, he is part of us....

Translation! You have no reasonable counter! and

2) Change of Post! No one asked you your thoughts on God!

Skmoda:
I reason with you on this.....

Thank you!

XXXXTENTACION:
bye take your sermon elsewhere ...

I did not have a sermon but I sure would like to say somethings here save for the fact that hopeless people too should be allowed to be hopeless in peace.

Kingsean:
it's the soul that feels. the spirit is the breath of life from God

The soul too is a spirit as different from the Spirit of God in us.

philfearon:
Have you seen God?

Same answer I gave you earlier! You have neither Seen diseases yet you act on them.

philfearon:
Have you seen God?

Your Change of Post did not go unnoticed!

The Same as you have not seen any disease, yet you act on them.

philfearon:
Maybe you should really go read Junior Secondary School English textbooks to understand "Figures of Speech" first before meddling in discourses that exposes your amateur knowledge of Religion.

it is Dual son, it is both an imagery as it is factual.

You played for the former which is not factually True and Accurate, I went after the latter True and Accurate, which is why you are now complaining!

HighWITCH:
Your parallel is outrightly absurd!

No it is not, for if it was, you would have happily pointed out its flaw.

But because it had no flaw, you just thought it would save your face to say it.

Let this matter rest, there is nothing reasonable for you to say beyond this.

tekzone:
IT? No I respectfully disagree. John 3:16 clearly says He loves US ALL and He has offered us His salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. When you refuse to accept and believe in His Son, YOU HAVE OF YOUR OWN VOLITION BLOTTED OUT YOUR NAME.

And you are still reiterating what I have said, Our names are First Written, you (as you say) or The Keeper of The Book of Life, can Blot it out.

And you confirm blotting out, which is a further confirmation of Earlier Writtenness, which is what I said.

CandyOps:


Something I've been thinking about since I was as a little boy. I'm always like, "but sheep no get sense na? Why sheep? Not even goat but sheep."

Well finally, sheep dem no get sense

It is the spirit (experience) of them both. Everyone who has seen a sheep, see that they naturally love the sheep.

But this is not so with goats, they rather naturally stir up vexation and anger.

This is the example which teaches you about spirit, if you want to learn.

Bluntguy:
Don't mind the pathetic atheist.

I think Satanist best describes him. There is nothing like "I do not truly know about God" atheist rather "they Hate God" atheists!

Legendguy:
I have heard lots of people saying that restitution doesn't matter as far as you have giving your life to Christ. I have seen people that restituted tye wrong things they did in the past, like some christians that took their WAEC results back to WAEC because they engaged in exam malpractice.
Is it guaranteed for a person, for instance that involves in stealing and looking government or company money to buy properties and build houses and still claiming born again, even though has has genuinely repented and when such person dies can he still go to heaven without restituting his stolen wealth?

Heaven is with you (if you do not know that is a different thing) so no one is going there.

It is the Kingdom of God that we are waiting for ("Thy kingdom Come, Thy Will be done"

Bluntguy:
I wonder what people were doing when their teachers were handling the topic on idiomatic expressions back then in school. Maybe bending over their desks to peep at girls.

Is a fool ever attentive in class?

Hanabian:
I guess you now know why religious enthusiasts are easily brainwashed. They accept that they are sheep wholeheartedly. Of all animals, it has to be sheep right?

Everyone knows a sheep is dumb!


Brutal Sunday.


Pics: Rare picture of a sheep looking at the mirror and wondering if they are truly what people say.

Yet you bleat for roads, water, jobs, electricity, food, safety from attack just like a sheep and yet you think you are not a sheep!

Men people are very foolish in deed and Speak!

Omicron007:
This has always got me thinking.
Often times I ponder about the concept of Hell.

Someone steals a piece of meat and another person commits murder. We are made to believe that both people will find themselves in one hell.

Is there something I don't understand?

Yes!

But tell me how shall you judge an accommolation of multitudes of little sins, spanning years and years of continuous commission?

Secondly, you may not have physically murdered but can you say that you are guiltless in the spirit of murdering?

Thirdly, you are all foolishly count your own sins putting aside the millions of times people have Cursed you for your wickedness.

And it is by the wickednesses you are Judged and not by your selection of choice sins.

karnap:
hello nairlanders
happy Sunday ..
this question has been on my mind since long,on why do we have different God's but the Satan is one.
share your thought about this.
thank you.

Simple because the- evil is indisputably clear but the-evil will not like for The Good and God to be also Indisputably Clear.

For Clarity kills it's existence, So he must meddle and interfere with The Good, so that people will be confused as to Who and What is The Good!

So the manyier, the betterer for the-evil.

XXXXTENTACION:
They is this question we all ask once in a while... Whats the meaning of life
but then we have a temporary answer and it's Nihilism.
Nihilism is the belief that life has no meaning.... Basically it's just a way of saying vanity upon vanity all is vanity... Well to nihilists on nairaland i would all love to go through some of your opinions....

*warning* this thread is basically for discussing nihilism opionions and arguments are welcome but if you want to preach something else please take your sermon elsewhere

Okay, a gathering of le' miserables, le'hopeless and d le' purposeless. Okay, im out!

Are you in bondage?

Bondage is not always ropes and chains!

philfearon:
Religion and its advocates would rather the world remained in perpetual ignorance for it to thrive.

See how wrong you are in the case of Christ Followership! The Bible clearly Said "Seek Knowledge and Get Understanding!"

And see how "you do not know much". "Ignorance" means "Ignoring Information which is not the same as "Absence of Information"

Which is why in Law you are guilty of "Ignoring information (ignorance of the Law is not a defence) but you shall be excused if the information could not have been made available to you (Lack of Information is a Defence).

philfearon:
Religion has made a vow to stay far away from rational deduction and sound reasoning because it thrives and fights hard to make sure you lose sight of what is real and focus on fantasies.

Can religion vow, move, think, reason or fight?

Is it not people who do these things?

Na wah for una reasoning o.

philfearon:
If something becomes real, it loses its fear factor and can be logically analyzed and would be subject to simple cognitive logic. No, it cannot; but, what it can control is a fantasy fueled by excessive glorification of fictitious mental constructs.

Organized religion thrives on inciting fear with the purpose of confusing adherents with illusionary utopia or eternal damnation. With the exciting euphoria gotten from shared religious ululations and reinforced by years of repeated doctrinal traditions and practices from childhood, curiosity is disarmed. Ultimately, indoctrination takes place – a mind invasive device used to ensure obedience and loyalty through constant repetition of specific religious texts.

Your Fear is Screaming!

Is it not Written that God is FEAR FULL AND THAT ALL MEN SHALL FEAR BEFORE HIM?

AND THAT HIS FEAR IS ALWAYS IN THE FACE OF HIS ENEMIES?

Therefore, is it not better to be His Friend and permanently solve your FEAR PROBLEM than to seek to Hide from Him?

Did you not hear there is no hiding from Him, for even the very walls with which you surround yourself to hide from Him will still make you Fear?

Kai! People are very stupid O!

A creation is never Absolutely free! He is only going where he can freely go.

HighWITCH:
In understanding the space around you, you acquire better understanding of your environment. Don't forget that as an earthling, everywhere is your domain.

how can you be inside your house and you depend on the sea to learn and understand the rooms and all inside your house? is this not drunkenness?

Please let's just let this matter rest.

Blakjewelry:
You seems to have a comprehension problem, so haven't heard of people with impaired sensations, conditions like Hypoesthesia and stroke?

That is what makes it Change of Post!
For we were not talking about people who suffer some peculiar infirmity.

Blakjewelry:
And if you hear gunshot now you go pick race .

you do not know that! And Infact it was a gunshots situation, Armed Robbery near my house, (they were robbing bureau d change) that made me See The Power of God, for throughout all their shootings, I saw I was too peaceful and unconcerned.

That was when I saw the meaning of I can not be shaken, I can not be moved" which I saw David always saying.

That was when I saw that dying is not a problem at all.

And I have held on to God ever since, i even once prayed for an armed robbery attack because as a traveller, all my fellow travellers had at least one evil experience or the other but I was always safe. But in other not to take God for granted, I prayed for a near experience that I may remember for all my life and I got it immediately. my night bus ran into an ambush, and we came late for it, for the bushers were receding when we arrived!

So while everyone was shouting, I was saying Thank You Lord, I Understand!!

All these was about 20-25 years ago but I have not waned a shed rather I intend digging deeper in God!

So I tell you, I have seen many of what the bible Said is there and I Can Never be Moved nor be Shaken.

All The Words of The Lord Are True and I am a Witness to the Truth of them!

mantraa:
I watched this new program on uk bbc2 yesterday called The history of Science. Episode 1 'What is out there?'...

Have you ever studied what is in here of your own assessment?

Yet, you are promoting hearsay!

HighWITCH:
Watch how our religion drunk and uninformed nairalanders will avoid this informative thread.

There is nothing here that we did not know before, especially you Nigerians and Africans who have not finished studying even your own immediate environment, is it now the outside of your environment you will study?

But you guys are professors and professionals in listening to hearsay.

Do your own study, it is still the same one head, nose, mouth, tongue and feelings, two eyes, ears, hands and legs the hearsayers used too, to carry out their own study.

Blakjewelry:
keep waiting, you will die and your children, children will keep waiting but the end you seek will never come.

I am looking forward to dying or the Day of The Lord, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST, (that is the word).

Either way, I Win!

Blakjewelry:
If the ancient Egyptians culture is still relevant today they would have been still waiting for Osiris to come back

Change of Post! for we are not talking about the survival of ancient Egyptian culture, but about Christianity's Lastingness!

Blakjewelry:
you are confused my friend, I was referring to people with neurological problem. my point is, if you need the spirit to feel sensations, the neurological damage won't stop you from feeling since it's spiritual and can't be damage physically

Now you have Shifted Post for we were talking about normal everyday people and not insane persons whom we can not reasonably interpret prima facie.

22jumpstreet:
The soul is both flesh and spirit...Dtruthspeaker is a soul. At the end of your life, after you have completed your earthly mission. Your spirit will depart this body or vessel back to God. It will become one with God. It was God's breath to begin with. The body experiences death or it becomes a dead soul. In my place part of our culture is we bury it after some elaborate ceremony. We still respect it because it use to house God's spirit. ..so when Paul said in one of his epistle that our[b] body is the temple of the holy spirit[/b], he was not wrong. .

1) John 1:9 Already Shows Us Who is in us Who giveth us Life as the Breath of God.

2) shall we be Holy if Holiness does not cover and everything including our body according to the Commandment of God, "Ye are a Holy nation"?

And is it not The Spirit of God which entereth or falls and dwells on a thing and makes it Holy, as we see in the Censers, (korah, Dethan, Abiram affair) the Ark of the Covenant and even a mountain.

If The Holy Spirit can possess these non living things to make them Holy, how is it impossible to possess and dwell in man?

I see you might be jw so accepting contrary opinion is always not an option.

22jumpstreet:
Luke 17:20-21

Thanks for the guide but I understood that message to mean that the Kingdom of God has Always been with us and not in the physical world we look at.

And by the several scriptures, especially Psalms, we see that God is inAbsolute Control of heaven, which other scriptures that heaven means "spirit".

And of course "spirit" already resides in you.

Thus, the kingdom of God we are looking forward to is that which The Prayer which The Lord taught us and Revelation tells us, that is to Come.

22jumpstreet:
The bible clearly says "and God breathed into his nostrils THE BREATH OF LIFE and man became a living soul. Man is the soul.
The soul (Man) that sinneth it shall die.

You only need two parents to create a human being. Just as God and the earth did to set the ball in motion in Genesis.

The word is "became" and not "is"!

Secondly, we know that the soul is not flesh but spirit and God hath continuously clearly said that He hath no business with the flesh but with the heart and the soul both of which are spirit.

TheSourcerer:
Ah I cannot argue with you dtruthspeaker ..

But

In any context how can anyone explain logically a man floated to space (without a spacesuit) , walked on water , tured water to wine , or rising after been dead , I just dont see how they can expain these within the rules (so they keep breaking ) of argument especially with logic.

The word is "a man" but He Who did all these things is Also Reported to be the One Who created Space, Water, Wine, death, so it stands to Firm Reason that He is and Must be beyond these things He created, Exactly as Steve Jobs and Mr. Toyoda are not bound by the laws governing their phones and cars.

Thus, He Who did All these things is not and was not a man.

TheSourcerer:
are you christain buddy?

I am one who intends to Keep and Obey The Word of The Lord, His Statutes, His Testimonies and His Ordinances to the very best of my ability.

These days the word "Christian" is not identified with the Good and high right since thieves, adulterers, Liars and so many unsavoury folk have also taken it up and Polluted it's Holy and Just and Righteous Representation.

22jumpstreet:
And the Jesus you so love told you that the kingdom of God is within.

How do you reconcile?

I do not know where you got this from but what I do know that the Bible did tell us to pray for God's Kingdom to Come as seen in The Prayer The Lord taught us.

22jumpstreet:
Like a wise man once said, man is made up of the spirit of God + the dust of the earth. When man experiences "death" the spirit returns to God and becomes one with it for it is pure. The body is buried 6 feet below and becomes one with the earth.

Just as the Creator said ' from dust you were made and to dust you shall return.

Man lost the chance of immortality...

And you missed the third party, the soul for you addressed the physical flesh and The Light that Lighted up all men who come into the world as seen in John 1:9 Who is of course Holy and returneth to God.

Clementoons:
I am 100% (percent) sure that a lot of people without hesitating opt for HEAVEN.
what and where is heaven? Heaven is a beautiful place, the eternal home of the Most high GOD , that is filled with the majesty, magnification, glory and honour of GOD. A place of everlasting joy and happiness.

Look through the Bible carefully, you would see that we are not destined for heaven but for the Kingdom of God!

Heaven is the twin of earth.
