Emusan: I wonder how you people reason most times. What I mean is this, you people fail to understand the little God had revealed about Himself but quick to attack same God with your fable mind.
I'll answer your post from down to up.
Yes, Bible says God gave children because He is The Creator of all things. The question now is, how does God give a child?
God created man and woman and put forth REPRODUCTIVE LAW into play but that doesn't mean God can't still personally intervene to do as He wills about any law He puts forth as we see in the case of Our Lord Jesus' birth and the one you sited as an example Jeremiah or even makes barren!
When you understand this, then you can appreciate the purpose of God when He personally steps in to override some of His natural laws.
Do you want God to personally intervene in your situation? Yes, He can if you will.
Shalom!
. This means You do not agree with the @op Jeremiah 1v5
Scholar8200: Prove this to be 100% true in all cases and never possible for those conceived within wedlock.
. You dint hear about te women that were raped bY The fulani heard men what did their husbands do theY divorced them talkless if a babY was [/color]formed [color=#000000] In the women...thats proof
youngestland: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
does this mean every child that is born god has a hand in the forming process, so god is the one that gives children he decides who whould have and who shouldnt right.
hmmmm so christians that cry and do all sort to get pregnant why hasnt he given them but when they go medical way they get pregnant also why would god form a baby in a married woman that was rapped by a robber while robbing her in her house
is god not in agreement with evil for this action.
. here we go again another mistake from the writers of the bible or god is wicked
4kings: When the heart stops; death comes, not spirit leaving the body. If it was so, the "spirit" would not be affected by bodily diseases.
That depends on the mental state. Even psychological manipulations[Placebos], have been used to cure this kind.
HardMirror has addressed this. [Its just mental condition] Check anti-nmda encephalitis.
So this man's skin was ripped apart by the intense collision with the road or any other object, but a tiny needle could not penetrate. If your story is true, something definitely was odd, but it was not spiritual; else he wouldn't need to be healed by "mere mortals".
This is "Nollywood/Africa Magic". If truly, a man(let's say he is abroad) is "dying" and no medical condition or irregularity in the body system is identified, it would be "the eight wonder if the world". . Don't mind our superstitious and lazy doctors here. *********** About your other statement; "Coincidence" happens.
. My Exact taught on the man that his skin got ripped apart ,,,,,you get plenty sense bro
dalaman: How can you shamlessly insult my intelligence buy lying to me that you raised a dead person back to life and expect me to take you seriously in anything. Is it not because of liars like you that NBC stopped the airing of miracles on national television?
I didn't accept your expense paid trip because I never took it seriously. My own is if you are so sure of your self. You should also make the pledge. I want you to lose something of value so that you will learn not to insult people's intelligence by lying shamlessly. Can you even raise a dead mosquito back to life talk more of a dead human being?
Dalaman please now remove the money issue am an atheist too I just want to see something supernatural he will foot your bills Please let this take place abeg
Christianity is not a make believe thing. What we preach is that God sent his only begotten son to die for you and I,and o don't expect you to ask me for the videos of his birth so you can believe.
. go into the world and preach the gospel doing signs and wonders so that te people will believe
NPComplete: U aren't very bright, are u? I gave u an example to point to u the problem with anecdotal evidence and u are latching on to it as if ur life depends on it. Laughable. Anybody can come here and claim anything. Conmen will also claim they can double ur money by sitting on it. But that don't make it so.We need evidence here. Real evidence not "I know someone" explanation. That was the point of that post u are holding on to like u just discovered gold. If u arent smart enough to realise that then why am I even talking with u? By the way which truth is hurting u? The truth that ur friend was really kidnapped though u are yet to give us any evidence for the spiritual aspect of it other than the fact that u believe it is so? Chai. Guy, go to bed. U obviously aren't capable of complex thought. This is my last reply to u.
You get time I swear this felix is not a bright person why are you explaining like you are talking to a child abeg leave am Felix sarcasm my niece knows
blacksahara: To be honest, my family is my main concern. I'm not interested in been loud or to disturb ppl bout it. Everybody has the right to make their choice.
Please athiesm is not a religion please use your head and respect your parents don't tell them if you know it will be war if you do. It's not a taboo to go to religious houses and don't think if you preach about athiesm and your parents disowns you that one external force will help big lie YOU GO SUFFER O Please I beg you stay with your parents let them bring you up well have a good life go to church and be open minded simple No one turns another to be an athiest it's a personal decision.
djdoxxx: My post on WhatsApp yesterday on Thinker's Lodge.
[8/17, 1:43 PM] Sport Analyst/Predictor: Other babalawos in the village have heard of the story....and they have challenged me to a quest.
I told them blankly that they are all fake
[8/17, 1:44 PM] Sport Analyst/Predictor: They are ready to take me to the man they call their 'HEAD priest' here
: I will be leaving here on Friday..
: Will be back in two weeks.... I told them I will buy a goat so they can test their jass on....they said the goat will keep falling and standing with just a this man touching it with his ring....I just laughed
These are the set of people that fumbled they were in charge of the just concluded elections and they fought opposition party with their jass and had no cut.... In 2 weeks,I am meeting with their head priest!!!!
Shawarma and Quaresma are taking me to Oyo (sepeteri) lodging at akoto base camp to meet with a babalawo in there....These dudes said OYO is the origin of all 'jasses'... It is the best place to see Powerful jassmen.....
All these jass adventure because We all came down to the village to do agriculture... Well as for me, I will drive down anywhere to proof to Nigerians that jass doesn't exist...I will gladly drive them anywhere so far they fuel my car, lodge me in a cool place, feed me and flex me....
(see as jass go dey make me collect awoof....)
(After all dealing ruthlessly with jassmen and their tricks....I will then descend mightily on pastors and imams)
Doxx is coming!!!
Nice one bro but pls this is nigeria you know these fraudstars that's their source of living I will advice you don't go any where with them again they should be the ones to go do their jass and you test it on them in a very safe place. I have an uncle that they almost killed because he was doing this same thing you are doing now one time they beat so bad and left him to die am happy he is alive today cos he's gat real sence when he talks people listen.
And I like your agric thing that's a very good employment you know and you will be successful don't give up. I remember when I finished school years ago too I did all kind of odd job you can think of, instead of going to church crying to God to give me a good job but today that's all stories. Youth should stop leaving everything for God and shape their future themselves please
djdoxxx: videos are too long....and I took few pictures.....a lot has happened already....I have been sending the videos on our atheist's group on WhatsApp!!!! over 9 videos of proofs.....the least video being 29mb.....I guess I would need to upload it on YouTube once I leave here(village) to the city back.....
Please tell us your experience first before the videos
Thoniameek: I saw a thread by seun calling on his fellow Nigerian atheist to become outspoken.... I mean not just here on nairaland anymore but out there to Nigerians. And all I could think of is 'disciples'.
What an average Nigerian need is proper education not hopelessness in form of atheism
Try to imagine the majority illiterate Nigerians having the mentality of most of the atheist on here, and imagine what state Nigeria will be in - I laugh in China. They make it seem like atheism is one savior the whorld needs.
As if atheism makes everything better
As if atheism brings peace
As if atheism helps me love better
As if atheism makes me blind to the flaws of others
And as if atheism makes wiser..... They should tell that to the lot of illiterate Nigerians (Not my great grandma that have been a witch and been dilivered and seen the power of God work)
Goodluck to telling the witches in edo state that
Lol but education and the mentality of "make we leave everything for God" will not not help anybody Now most atheist I mean most are literate and I have not seen any athiest that does not quest for knowledge sis So athiesm and education goes hand in hand imoo
Touchnot01: You're right to some extent. But God does not have bad plans for anyone, His plans are to give us a future and a Hope. The Bible also discourages laziness and encourages hardwork. No one takes heart that he is not to be favoured by God, that is not christian-like
The girl who was raped could get justice by vengeance because of the lawlessness that fills the system. I wonder those who have this mentality that some should be successful and some shouldnt, they are definately not true christians. Ive never met such people.
Please explain I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy on
KingEbukasBlog: @ Emboldened text. We Christians apparently read a totally different bible from the one you read
Nice please research the poorest people in the world too
I started my success as a christian even with all the talk that my step mother will never want me successful Now this is my point although I was a christian I dint have that mentality that I should be poor neither can someone tie my success so I worked very hard without listening to pastors asking me to pray. I also never believed in devil and his powers as a christian Now this is the thing the fact that these people are rich and are christians does not mean they follow the principles of God they can at one point in time defiled these God principles just to be successful, so at anytime they defile these principles they were athiest at that point very funny se me sef laugh but it's true
winner01: As hilarious as this lady's post might be, it contains serious elements of truth. I've been trying to get into the mind of atheists around me for a long time, and all I can perceive is pain and hurt as I am yet to see one Nigerian whose atheism is not as a result of emotional trauma or drug/sexual freedom.
Truly atheism is incoherent. In one breath, it simply defines itself as a lack of belief in God or gods, in another breath, its proponents constantly claim the following views: - Rejection of religion. - Conformity to logic and reason - The acceptance of science - The belief that their is no God(s): This Belief could be the only logical reason for their bigotry. - The rejection of dogma - Science -Free thinking and open-mindedness - And more recently, sanity .
What exactly is atheism?, before you say jack they are already telling you about elementary science. Most of their topics here are on religion. One hcpaull has even recently been professing sanity upandan. Another one Agent of allah describes it as an admission of apathy towards God.
Some of them even side with irreligion by mentioning irreligious countries. Many irreligious people believe in God if not most. I was also irreligious at a time. Does this mean atheism also has to cling to irreligion to validate its stand? Is there absolutely nothing atheism has to profess for itself?
Before ignorant Nigerian atheists start to tell me that atheism is not a thing or body, its the absense of it or its just a lack of belief in God, here are some atheistic organizations:
-The Freedom from Religion Foundation - Atheists for Human Rights - Freethought Society - Atheist Alliance International - The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinker - Anti-Defamation League: Dedicated to battling and defaming christianity. - Atheist Centre - New Atheist Movement - International League of Non-Religious and Atheists - Rationalist International - and hundreds of other bodies.
I can imagine what they do in atheist mega churches. If atheism has substance, could they not just name it atheist worship centres?, why churches? Tim Hawkins wonders what they teach kids at the children section of the atheist mega churches.
The late atheist, William Provine said: “No inherent moral or ethical laws exist, nor are there any absolute guiding principles for human society. The universe cares nothing for us and we have no ultimate meaning in life”.
So why do they wish to desperately sell their hopelessness to us? Do they have some sort of personality disorder?.
Why do they blame religion and religious people for the woes of Nigeria? Is it true that the number of religious determines the development/underdevelopment of a country? Is there any study to validate this? Of course not!!!. And why do they focus on christians even when it is glaring that islam destroys souls every single day. Do they really care about religion or is it just Christianity? China has a christian population of more than 1,349,585,838, U.S.A (316, 668,567), Nigeria (174,507,539), Russia (142,500,482), Japan (127,253,075). e.t.c
Africa is its own problem. Give Nigeria money, it wont solve her problems because those at the helm of affairs revere neither God nor Human life and will loot the money at the expense of poor masses. As the lady above said, our leaders need to fear God and worship him in Spirit and in truth. Africa truly needs God.
Journalist and professed atheist Matthew Paris, upon reflecting of his journey to Africa in his piece as an atheist said; I truly believe Africa needs God, he noted the positive impacts Christianity has had. Essentially, Parris believes, that to remove Christian evangelism from Africa will “leave the continent at the mercy of a malign fusion of Nike, the witch doctor, the mobile phone and the machete”. Paris believes that “Africa needs God…Missionaries, not aid money,” as they “are the solution to Africa’s biggest problem—the crushing passivity of the people’s mindset”.
Parris also saw how those professing belief in Jesus’ name has made life more bearable for many people in Africa. He explains: “Now a confirmed atheist, I’ve become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people’s hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good”. https://www.conservapedia.com/images/0/00/FMSC_Distribution_Partner_in_Malawi.jpg
However, Parris explained that this doesn’t seem to fit his atheism: “It inspired me, renewing my flagging faith in development charities. But travelling in Malawi refreshed another belief, too: one I’ve been trying to banish all my life, but an observation I’ve been unable to avoid since my African childhood. It confounds my ideological beliefs, stubbornly refuses to fit my worldview, and has embarrassed my growing belief that there is no God”.
Similarly, another atheist, Hattersley, criticizes his fellow atheists for their lack of effort in relief effort: “You don’t hear of “Atheist Aid” rather like Christian aid, and, I think, despite my inability to believe myself, I’m deeply impressed by what belief does for people like the Salvation Army… I often say I never hear of atheist organizations taking food to the poor”.
Another atheist Richard Norman explains that “Christianity has inspired not only some of the worst but also most of the best human achievements…. To present christianity and its works in a wholly negative light would in my view be hopelessly unbalanced”.
Below are some studies showing the benefits of religion:
Religious involvement and spirituality are associated with better health outcomes, including greater longevity, coping skills, and health-related quality of life (even during terminal illness) and less anxiety, depression, and suicide" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11761504
Atheism is devoid of substance, its is embarrasingly hopeless and seriously lacks retention. Thats why the 2016 International atheist reason rally which was held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. had an embrassingly low turnout of less than 12,000 people after its attendance had been predicted to be over 30,000. https://wp.production.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/files/2016/06/ReasonRally2106Crowd.png
This comes to no surprise. Atheism does not have the intellectual credentials needed in order to be rationally accepted by the educated and rational person. It proposes the non-existence of God without supplanting that claim with evidence - something they constantly request of theists.
In Nigeria and Africa in general, God helps the masses to get through the madness that their terrible and corrupt leaders have subjected them to. And this hope for a better tomorrow will not be stolen by angry atheists.
So as the lady in the oP said;
Because tomorrow dey, God dey
There is a stadium in Surulere.
Atheists should feel free to take all the seats there and sit down.
Naija people collectively say unto you: “Taaarrr!”
Are you serious well you have not met me sha Well I dint become an athiest because of emotional trauma of any sort neither drug poo Nice article but this just makes people lazy A widow whom has not been paid for months don't need to steal all she need is work harder look for another good source of income to sustain herself than relying on manner from heaven which will not come and so does the girl that was raped she should focus her energy on how to get justice than relying on justice from a fairy god.
The Bible has made us lazy kai when a poor man see a rich man he says it's his destiny to be rich while his own destiny is to be poor. Instead of him to work harder use his brain however he can to be successful he listens to one pastor that tells him God said HE WILL FAVOUR WHO HE WILL FAVOUR making the poor either to fast and pray for God's favour or takes heart that he is not to be favoured by God
Listen this earth belongs to all of us we are all equal and we have equal right we need to kill that mentality that some people should be successful while others shouldn't and this mentality came from religious people abeg
Well everyone has the tendency to be bad and good there have been good and bad atheist presidents so as theist
I feel you guys especially winner is just pained that most of the atrocities happening now is caused by theist so he just wants to feel good by researching and posting athiest that have been bad Brother winner leave matter this does not change anything because it can happen to anyone shikena
4everGod: As an Atheist how can you tell the difference between Love and Hate? I ask because atheists do not believe that anything matters especially feelings since we are just a bundle of cells and chemicals. So please share with me how come you can feel hate and love?
Jacksonville: I speak with authority. That's no threat, you atheists think you can mock GOD with your silly questions.
Everyone knows he's an atheist and he's not ought to be taken as a serious entity. Now tell me man, what is your definition of ''sin''??. If you meet strict men of GOD like evangelist Uma Ukpai, and you tend to mock GOD before him. He will only tell you the truth with a prophecy that will ruin you. I believe that's when you'll believe GOD exist.
You guys can't just go around thinking you can mock GOD with your silly questions. But i hate to disillusion you all, cuz GOD cannot be mocked. Rather you'll bring upon yourself generational curses... I am not threatening anyone, i'll only bless him so GOD can do the rest.
Be warned, and stay away if you can't get answers you seek then sulk on it...Christians are not mediums to be used for contacting GOD. God is a spirit, if you want to hear him then pay attention.
''let he that have ears , let him hear what the spirit says''..
Who is umar nkpai? He is nothing he can do shit abeg no dey call any nonsense name here abeg
lordnicklaus: First and foremost, immature thread. I am not surprised that this topic was being posted by the op who argues vainly like one heated by undisputed hatred for what he once believed in. A showy display of ignorance and lack of even the most abysmal of ingenuity. This guy is quite immature, he doesn't provide logical basis for his arguments as one who is supposedly rational and logical but he goes on parroting mock questions and taunts to theists so as to engage in futile arguments with him. I have been watching this guy closely and he is not as rational as he seems. He is just here as a hologram. I would advise KingEbukaNaija winner01 and other theists to ignore any thread posted by this clown. When he gets no reply, his thread would become dead.
I taught you are a correct guy when I read this until I read this
Seun: If this story is true, which is yet to be determined, then it's likely to be a medical accomplishment rather than a miracle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_over_age_50 (this page provides the details of women over 50 who have given birth to babies)
Seun please let me ask you this You where raised in ogun state right? And you still stay there. when I was growing up I used to hear how powerful ogun is I mean in juju Please in all your life in ogun you dint see any mysterious doing?
According to u now, if ur phone can go off by itself EVEN ONCE, so it's possible that Evrytime ur press the "switch-off" button on ur phone, it's purely coincidental that ur fone goes off afterwards baa?...lolz..lolz...YOU'RE BLESSED brother..
Bro have you really seen a clear cut miracle if yes good for you I have never seen any all my life of being a Christian and going to different churches all I v seen is bobo
