Christianity Etc › Re: Atheist Logic by Emmanystone: 10:49am On Nov 03, 2017 |
hopefulLandlord: our post does not follow at all!
you go spiritual unnecessarily when all we are talking about is simple logic, you have a habit of flunking logic in a woeful manner I had responded to this, but didn't know it wasn't posted. Here is what I said; I go spiritual unnecessarily when discussing God? Are you for real? Lolzzz, If you want to discuss logic, do that, but if you want to talk God, make sure to get logic out of the way, because both of them can not be in the same sentece. hopefulLandlord: all the sun rising and moon coming out didn't convince francis Collins and WLC at all even though it convinced you, I'm almost certain a frozen waterfall won't convince you, neither would it convince WLC That's why i said you shd explian to me how we being the same, but think and act differently. What is responsible for that? No! that's NOT how it works, it doesn't follow at all.[/quote]It must follow how you want it abi? You reject what God says and how things shd work, but i must agree with how you say things must work? You are funny. hopefulLandlord: first off, we are all different, we as humans don't think the same way so what convinces you of Yahweh's existence "Sun coming out everyday and moon coming out at night" may not convince someone else of Yahweh's existence Toatlly. We are diff. people and think differently. That too is what you'd need to explian to me how it's pissible. (Pls don't jump over this). I'm not just convinced because YHWH said so, but I see it happening exactly as He said they will. I see Him claiming to have created the Sun, and why He did that. YHWH says he created the Sun and all the hosts of heaven and by them He made a covenant with them to bring about day and night and seasons change. He says these ordinances shall never cease as long as the earth remains, hence everyday, i see the Sun, every night, i see the other hosts. If you call Him a lair, then do well to tell me how the Univerae came to be with the Sun in it, and other hosts. Tell me what causes to moon to come out looking small but grows to full bloom then begins to recede until it returns to the shape it came out, and the circle continues. Choose to be convinced or not, it doesn't change it. hopefulLandlord: we could both listen to a sales pitch, I buy into it and you don't or vice versa; while the sales pitch convince one of us it wasn't enough to convince the other which boils down to individual differences I agree. Even The Master said four persons will listen to the same person talk, out out the four, only one will listen, hear, act upon what he/she heard and apply it and make profit from what he/she heard. So your lack of belief in YHWH (because its only YHWH you have issues with) doesn't come as a suprise to me. hopefulLandlord: if the sun rising and moon coming out convinces you, then Yahweh knew (with his/its omnipotence) that you'll be convinced by that Yes, but, He will not impose his convicntiins on me if i choose not to believe even in the face of glaring evidences. hopefulLandlord: Francis Collins, a staunch atheist was walking in the bush when he came across a frozen waterfall and he became convinced of Yahweh's existence and Christianity being true, he said he saw the frozen waterfall have three prongs and that convinced him that "Christian Trinity" is true
William Lane Craig was a unhappy student and saw some happy students, asked them how they manage to stay happy and they told him Jesus is the secret, that was enough to convince him of Christianity being true Different strokes they say... hopefulLandlord: meanwhile I'm pretty much different from you, WLC and Francis Collins in that the sun rising and moon coming out didn't convince me, a frozen waterfall sounds very idiotic to me, if I see a frozen waterfall what I'll think about are the animal lives that are in it and died; seeing people happy when I'm sad is arguably the most stupid of all cuz they could be on drugs or are perhaps just rich or chose to be happy about the same things that I'm sad about Yes indeed, you are. You would have to tell me how different emotions are rapidly triggered in us to act so differently when faced with the same situation. I laugh a lot, yet cry very easily. When i'm happy, you'd know, when i'm not, you'd know, but someone else is able to contain these emotions so well, not because they don't have them, but because that's just the way they are. what is responsible for it? hopefulLandlord: This is where your posts veered badly off course You say this because you couldn't tie me in a knot as you hoped to right? hopefulLandlord: No! Satan (if it exists and Christianity is true) KNOWS that Yahweh exists, Yahweh knows that Satan is already convinced of his existence, we aren't talking about some extra power show here, even an unbeliever may not know what would convince him/her but an omniscient being definitely knows, Yes, an Omniscient knows what should [should being the operative word here) convince and unbeliever, but what if an unbeliever is just to proud to admit(because, sometimes is pride and the love for independence to do as one pleases that makes some stay unbelieving)? Men saw Jesus took 5 laoves of bread and 2 fish from a teenage boy and before them, he broke it and began to share unti all 5thousand men ate and had 12 baskets of left overs. Most ate the bread, but still didn't believe in Him. How do i know? The very next day, those same people challenged Him and after an exchange of words, they all stopped follwing Him. So, Yes, Omniscient God knows what shd convince you, but if you choose not to, fine. He will never work according to your demands and terms to convince you, why will He do that? Who benefits from your redemption, you or Him? lolzzz. hopefulLandlord: an unbeliever may say "I want an amputee healing" "I want a beheaded person to come back to life" An unbeliver is living in rebellion and is in no position to make demands. It is the Master or the Lords prerogative to grand him amnesty, he is in a position to accept the terms presented to him or rejects them and rwmain a wanted condmned criminal, who when caught, will be hanged. hopefulLandlord: but even such a miracle (if it happens) may still not convince him/her, why? cuz the unbeliever doesn't know himself enough You just answered your query for yourself with this. An unbeliever who is bent on not beleiving will never be convinced. He will keep asking or making demands each time he is presented with prove. And, do you know why an unbeliever doesn't know himself enough? This is because, some people have been given over (dedicated to Satan as Living sacrifices), hence, their WILL can never be theirs anymore. SATAN TAKES over THEIR BODIES AS HOSTS AND MANIPULATES them FOR HIS OWN INTEREST. THEY ARE ALREADY MARKED, so nothing can be done to help them. These kind of people the Bible refers to them as 'Goats', Sons of perdition. Children of Darkness. Their own senses and interests becomes secodary to them. A lot of them are here in this forum. All their interest is to fight YHWH, (note, i said YHWH) because, they have no qwams with other dieties. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Hello Heathens! by Emmanystone: 7:57am On Nov 03, 2017 |
hopefulLandlord: Christians say their god is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and omnibelevolent
if these qualities are true then we'd all know of this god's existence, here's why:
an omnipresent god is with me right now
an omniscient god knows what would convince me of his existence
an omnipotent god can do that thing that'll convince me
an omnibelevolent god would want to convince me of his existence
the fact that such an entity exists but requires humans to indoctrinate other humans about it points to the fact that such an entity does not exist!
Christians make the mistake of challenging the second premise by stating I'm "asking Yahweh to bend down to my wish" this is an absolute strawman as the second premise doesn't state anything specific about what I want Yahweh to do in order for me to believe he exists but Yahweh should know what would convince me better than even me
Francis Collins, a staunch atheist, became a Christian after witnessing a beheaded man come back to life after the corpse was prayed for by a MoG, his conversion to Christianity was finally sealed when he witnessed an amputee healing; he's always said those would convince him and Yahweh did it, "Yahweh bent to Francis Collins wish"
The above paragraph from the ninth (9th) word is a fabrication the below was actually Francis Collins conversion story
He was walking in the bush when he came across a frozen waterfall and he became convinced of Yahweh's existence and Christianity being true, he said he saw the frozen waterfall have three prongs and that convinced him that "Christian Trinity" is true
If Yahweh exists and Christianity is true, then Yahweh with his omniscience knew a frozen waterfall with three prongs is what would convince Francis Collins and he used his omnipotence to make it happen
if a Christian asked Francis Collins while he was a staunch atheist "What can happen that would convince you of Yahweh's existence and Christianity being true?" I'll wager Collins would say "An amputee healing, a mountain moving" or something in that line; I'm 100% certain he won't say "a frozen waterfall split in 3 places"
in summary, the fact that a god like that exists and all those who believe in it do so out of "faith" shows it doesn't exist We were having this discussion in a thread, you ran away, but here you are making it seem like you are making valid points. I asked you one simple question, but you jumped over it like you didn't see it. Here it is again, with all the things around you which YHWH has put in place to convince you that He exists, but you remained unbelieving, (As you rightly pointed out that some people will not be convinced even when they see a beheaded person come back to life). [b] of what benefit will your conviction and believe that God exists is it to YHWH? In other words, what will God gain if you believe in Him? Pls give one reason why you think YHWH needs you to be convinced about His existence. Shalom. |

Rashduct4luv: I want everyone to read this post.
The sign of an hypocrite according to the Bible is as Brada Matthew the tax collector says:
You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
They called our Prophet Paedophile according to today's standards which we do not accept in Islam.
They said he killed those who betrayed the contract he had between them. After which he now slept with the war captive.
I told them in the simplest terms that Islam permits such marriage if the father of the girl agrees to it. They refused to agree.
The Prophet killing those people was justified according to the situation as at then (as explained previously). They refused to agree.
Now let us open the Bible and see what the three in one gods commanded the People to do
1 Samuel 15:3-4 New International Version (NIV)
3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them ; put to death men and women , children and infants , cattle and sheep , camels and donkeys .’” Even if alBHAGDADI, Enilove, Plainbibletruth, Emmanystone, Shadeyinka and others were around then Saul would have killed you too with them.
Now UmarIbnShittu see this one o, three in one Gods commanded this one too in Numbers 31:17-18 New International Version (NIV)
17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man (Virgin ).
If Jesus commanded them to kill everybody and leave virgin young girls for themselves, Our Prophet is far above the Bible Jesus!
I also think Jesus of the Bible was explosive in the old testament, inspiring wars, saving young virgin female war captives for sex and killing people like mad but when he came in the New testament he became cold and repented. He now preached turn your left cheek if someone slaps your right or whatever.
Apparently this Hebrew 13:8 below was a lie
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

enilove: @Rashduct4luv, you said you are tired of the Bible stories etc . If you are not an hypocrite, you should have developed stroke or hypertension because of the stories of Quran,hadiths and life style of Muhammed.
If God had killed Lot , your type or ,even you , will complain. Lot chose to live in a cave not because God ordered him to. He was afraid of the nearby cities and also decided not to go back to Abraham and be respectful to him so as to live peacefully with him . God did not ask the daughters to get their father drunk. It was part of the character polution they inherited or copied when living in Sodom that got hold of them.
Ezra account. Let read in context :
Nehemiah 8:4-8 KJV And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. [5] And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people and when he opened it, all the people stood up: [6] And Ezra blessed the Lord , the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground. [7] Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. [8] So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
Ezra stood up to read the books of the Lord to the Israelites by by climbing the pulpit which was made for THAT PURPOSE and beside him were 6 elders to the right and 7 elders to the left. When he stood up to read the books , he started by praising the Lord and the people stood up bow their heads ( not knees ) with their faces towards the ground .....
The above did not say they prayed like the muslim. They were standing and their faces were to the ground. For the muslims it is their heads that hits the groung, and in kneeling position not when standing.
Also they were not about to pray but to listen to the words of God that Ezra was going to read. They did not do ablution neither were they holding anything in their hands for counting.
The Idol worshippers in Nigeria do bow their knees and hit their heads on the ground . Are they muslims too. Most Idol worshippers do bow down with their heads on the ground while facing their gods or idols . They are the same with Muslims.
Don't look for approval of Islam in the Bible , you can't get it there . The only and best places are in the hadiths and Quran. There , you will discover that the pre Islam arabians pagans used to worshipped god allah and they used to pray towards mecca 7 times a day; making pilgmage to mecca; running around the temple of the moon god allah; kissing the black stone ; killing animals in sacrifice to the moon god; they used to throw stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; they used to Tawaf etc. These were incorporated into Islam and the modern day muslims practice these very rituals. You muslims have been innocently tricked to worship the same false god that the pre Islamic pagan worshippers used to worshipped. You are flogging a dead Pig. |
