Christianity EtcRe: Do You Have Any Questions About God , The Bible Or Christianity? Bring Them Here by Eddlad: 7:24pm On Jul 29, 2016
4kings:
I don't agree.
For example, Plato and especially Aristotle were deistic and believe god is created through human reason. They lived during or before jesus's time.
RELATIVELY,I.believe.that's the keyword.

That's all you gathered from what I wrote?

Are u implying that an atheist can't show love on his own volition or that his deeds are not seen as right in God's sight? explain why?
Good deeds cannot get someone into God's good books,otherwise the poor would be disadvantaged nor does singing because we have deaf and dumb among us, and on and on. Sin is "living for yourself";doing your bidding,wish I could say it better in my local parlance but am not nigerian. So an atheist doing good is really nothing,if anything it shows that man was once good,we retained some over the years.

Whenever you have the answers to my question, gimme a mention, i'm patiently waiting for you - what happens to the soul between the time of death and the time of resurrection?
Here is how you can understand this.

When a person sleeps the only time you are aware of is when sleep and when you wake up, essentially hours compress to a second,but all these hours are actually been "witnessed" by someone who is not asleep,they actually "live" the hours as they go by.

Then again Jesus relates death to sleep again and again,hope you understand.

So a bunch of people gathered together and said that a non human entity spoke to them, telling them that it created the universe.

And you just believed them like that just because you didn't know the origin of the universe? C'mon son.

A whole creator with a favorite tribe of humans? Killing other humans on behalf of his favorite humans?

Not only did they bring message from invisible person, the message itself is rubbish. How can a creator of galaxies and suns take a small tribe as his favorite, killing other human beings for the tribe? Why are the humans even fighting and the creator can talk?
Atheism is relatively new,in the beginning the most pertinent question wasn't whether or not God existed rather who was worshipping the right one.Man built many for himself and ascribed their beliefs to them
them.

Some however worshiped the one true God and became the israelites. Now you know this,read the word and realise several instances where God tried to used the israelites to help the world know that he was the one and only true God.

Questions are good but your tone depicts someone who thinks he has it figured out.

Who wrote your holy book and what did they show you to convince you that they spoke to a non human entity?

What did the non human entity show them to make them believe that it created the universe?
It was inspired.
Well it answered all the questions that needed answering,I didn't need anymore convincing.
Christianity EtcRe: What Led You To God? by Eddlad: 11:32pm On Jul 27, 2016
What led you to God?, everything, stones, sky, birds,I think a better question is, how can you tell if you actually are worshipping the right one? Some call what they found Allah, others Buddha, some even called theirs science.
Christianity EtcPutting Things In Perspective by Eddlad(op): 7:28pm On Jun 09, 2016
In the beginning, Satan intended to rule mankind like God ruled the angels looking at the prestige that was conferred on him by the almighty. Satan failed and riled up 1/3 of the angels against God in deceit, questioning His supremacy and leadership over all creation, why can't someone rule too, what if there is a greater leader. What would be your response if an employee you hired manages to convince a third of your workers that you may not be the best to lead your own company?
A good response would be to sack this individual and possibly withhold some allowances to those that fell for his 'deceit'.

A problem this solution may create however Is that the third that were convinced would be lost forever, psychological, they will work at reduced output wondering forever if the lie was ever true and one feeling confident will resurface from time to time to challenge your authority.

God handled this the best way possible, allow Himself and Satan to rule a sect of his creation( mankind) then let the two leaderships be put to test. In the end those that fell for the deceit will see the error of their ways.

But how does God compete with his own creation, he is all powerful, Satan wouldn't even lift a finger before he loses, how can there be as it is a 'level playing field'?

God in His wisdom then gave His condition for rulership. "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved".

I often Hear people ask why God won't appear in the sky even would be convinced , well there you have it.

ChemicalReaction:
How can be a good christian when I don't understand the bible. Too many questions to ask! I know the ten commandments were given in the old testament, I also know it still applies to present day christians, what I don't get is why there is a 'thou shalt not kill' in the commandments and our loving creator still instructed the israelites to kill their enemies. My question is, who created these enemies? Is it not God? Why would he love some children more than others? I'm confused! Over to the pastors in the house.
Questions are good, they are required, I for one believe that lack of questions is the major reason for the growing numbers of half baked christians. Kindly point this verse you are referring to.
Christianity EtcRe: Clear Error In The Bible: Was Jesus Having Attention Deficit Disorder? by Eddlad: 10:05pm On Mar 20, 2016
truthman2013:


“Farewell Discourse,”

The last address that Jesus delivers to his disciples, at his last meal with them, which takes up all of chapters 13 to 17 in the Gospel according to John. In John 13:36, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, where are you going?” A few verses later Thomas says, “Lord, we do not know where you are going” (John 14:5). And then, a few minutes later, at the same meal, Jesus upbraids his disciples, saying, “Now I am going to the one who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ” (John 16:5).

He was asked where he was going in chapter 13 and 14 only for him to come in chapter 16 to alleged that none of them asked hhim where he was going..daffuqq??

It is Either Jesus had a very short attention span or there is something strange going on with the sources for these chapters, creating an odd kind of disconnect. Whichhuh

Ok, I see two scenarios here,

1. The writers were so bad that in their attempt to write what would seemingly be the world's greatest manual they forgot to edit out such an error, one that anyone in their sense would forsee could raise eyebrows about whether such a book could be from an infabble God.

2. God imparted it through his spirit and it was penned down exactly as received.

At this juncture a good question would be, why then such. If you read the new testament, two observations can be made, that Jesus knew people's thoughts and the disciples didn't fully grasp his being and purpose on earth ( they adviced and acted against him dying to save the world, to the best of their knowledge). What you quoted as error proves that Jesus knew that they were not referring to his father in heaven or his mission on earth but about an earthly embarkment of sorts.

Your attempt to ridicule is not only futile but more importantly, pointless.

Christianity EtcRe: Can You Worship In Any Church As A Christian? by Eddlad: 9:35pm On Mar 20, 2016
TopsyKrete:
I have noticed that when it is time for prayer, our Muslim folks can enter any mosque to pray, and I have come to respect this. But this is not so with the Christian folks, why?
I did a little survey in my school with about 70 students with about 50 Christian students and 20 Muslims. Lo and behold the response was same.

Why is there discrimination as par this topic in christiandom?
So I ask, what who is the "church", it's only when you figure this then will you know why the road to the truth is found by so few.
Christianity EtcRe: Will Folks That Have Never Heard About Jesus Christ Enter The Kingdom Of God by Eddlad: 9:27pm On Mar 20, 2016
Everyday the world continues to exist proves the word hasn't reached everyone..yet. God is not in a haste to visit judgment for it won't be pretty. You can't even control something as trivial as when you sleep but here you are wondering this. My piece, work on your salvation and let the one who sees to what the ant will have for dinner do what he has in mind since time immemorial.
Christianity EtcRe: Disturbing Religious Selfishness (eroding Compassion) by Eddlad: 6:33pm On Nov 30, 2015
plaetton:
I beg to differ sir.

Biologically and psychologically, religion and faith emanate from the most primitive part of our brains,..the part where our basest and most primordial instincts reside.
This is where selfish, fearful beast resides.
It defines reality in extremely narrow, self-centered terms.

This is no wonder that religion , superstition, oppression, violence and war go hand in hand.

In my own life, far too many times I have seen decent people become narrow minded, hateful, fearful, superstitious and selfish , the deeper they go into religion and faith.
The former statements don't bother on the topic so I will ignore.
Your latter statement is lacking the right premise but it could be the start you need, religion( Christianity) and as such the bible and depending on how its "wielded" could be mankind's undoing or redemption. When Satan tempted eve, he wrongly used God's word, in another breadth Jesus fulfilled the scriptures and brought salvation for mankind.

Your observation is not wrong, merely evidence of false and adulterated teachings propounded under guise. Remember that the most important things in life, air and water can be severely catastrophic depending on usage,
religion wrongly used can undo mankind because it's it's our most valuable possession, yet unknown.

The error lies in the Op's writing, I merely sought to point out that religion doesn't make sadists(for lack of a better word) out of people, people can be that on their own without being strong-armed or coached.

Nigga, u got it all twisted

According to wiki, 'common sense is a basic ability to perceive, understand, and
judge things, which is shared by ("common to"wink nearly all people
and can reasonably be expected of nearly all people without any
need for debate'

There is no need for thought, aforementioned ideas, teaching...for a person to have common sense. It is basic and therefore intuitive.

A child doesn't need to read in a book or told to drop a hot iron, common sense should, and experiences similar is shared by all races irrespective of experience, ideas, knowledge and religious inclination as u wrongly stated, it is basic.
......Let me start again, but with a different twist,what does one gain by applying common sense?

krattoss:
do u have problems on reading and understanding?

where did he mention Bible?....


u are asking what would have been said or done?


so common sense will not tell u to symapatize with an afflicted person? but only thank god it isn't u?
He said religion, no specifics, if some are guilty of this he should have clarified.

Can you tell me how common sense Inspires sympathy? Common sense as you know it is as a result of other people's experience, ideas, knowledge and religious inclination. It doesn't stand on its own.

By atheism standards how does my lack of sympathy reflect poorly on me, sympathy never returned back the hands of time ever, or has it?.
Christianity EtcRe: Disturbing Religious Selfishness (eroding Compassion) by Eddlad: 12:58am On Nov 30, 2015
Kindly share how religion inspire this, I also wouldn't mind a scripture verse to support.

What would you have rather done or said and how did or how has atheism inspired it.

Hello. one tip that i have learnt from this house that has greatly benefited me is to stay up to bid in the wee hours. some employers have urgent job to execute and will give it to immediately available freelancers. also weekends. then it is good to be the first or at least one of the first to bid on a job as the employer is posting it. he is likely to see your bid as it comes in and will want to chat you up straight away. then put in several bids daily, don't rest on one. then be available online! don't bid and then go offline forever. after getting your first few jobs and reviews, you can begin to regularise. hope this helps.
Thanks for all the responses.

@boladale, how can I get more bids, I used my card to activate the 100 + free bids but I cant say I am even half way through them but am constantly told that I have exhausted my bids left.

One month on freelancer, 17 reviews, USD 800 (over 80% from outside jobs).
I had to open a new account last month after reaching 20 reviews with my previous one. I tried to avoid the mistakes i did with my former account and made sure I delivered projects on time to earn straight 5 stars (only say one babe like that come give me 4.2).
Thank you madam Ladywriter, one day we go meet and dine together.
The hussle continues...
I have been bidding on the projects but to no avail, I don't even have anymore bids left!. Half the projects have being award to others, while the remaining others seem to have disappeared. Are you guys really for real? This whole freelancer thing isn't working for me lol.
Maybe you could assist me with some pointers(I have read everything from start to finish) that you think might jump start this thing.Thanks.

Most people are misinformed and indoctrinated and have no reachable platform to get info about their delusion of which a piece of your comments, arguments, and debates here can do things you may not know it can . You are not doing that because of some people the likes of CaptainJune , MrPresident1, Eddlad , malvisguy212 and their sort that are repudiators.

You are not doing it for divine reward but for consciousness raising which will help in making our world a better place devoid of delusion, bigotry, racism, harmful believes, prejudice, believing illusion to be fact etc.

Christianity EtcRe: The Earth Is 4.5 BILLION Years Old. Surely Many Races Came Before Us! by Eddlad: 5:05pm On Aug 16, 2015
ROSSIKE:
I just realised the earth is over 4.5 billion years old. And that surely humans, who came around only a few thousand years ago, cannot possibly be the first life form with high intelligence that lived on this planet. Surely there must have been several hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of species before us, who lived on this earth, and were as intelligent, and often more so, than us. There must have been thousands of civilizations comparable to our present era, peopled by races who were probably not human at all, but totally different. Each of these races must have risen to great heights, and in some cases great technological heights, peaked, and then fizzled out or imploded. Just like humanity will someday. I wonder who will replace us? I can't imagine us being around in our present form in say, the next 5 or 10 million years. We would have been replaced by some other type of intelligent species.
Look at what just this current generation has done to the earth, the immense deterioration after just a few centuries in our quest for 'knowledge' and 'technology'.Am no scientist but I hardly doubt there were others before us.
