"No True Scotsman fallacy"

Na so na... sometimes I dey even forget wetin science be, I go dey think say na human being...

Lol.. are you seriously quoting the Bible (written by a con artist) to me? By the way watchman is a pentecostal church.

When I was a Christian, trust me, you didn't "know christ" more than I did, I preached, ate and slept with prayer.. It got to a point where everyone was calling me pastor /rev fr.
I "believed" I spoke with God, there was this Time my aunt was being operated on.. I locked the doors, I prayed till an extent I was drowning in my own sweat and tears, unknowingly for me that they were banging the door for me to open, "when I came back from the spirit", I quickly heard loud knocks on the door when I opened, my sister was like "I've been knocking for up to an hour now".. Anyway, fast forward, my aunt had a successful operation and I believed it was "God" who answered my prayers..

Fast forward.. I started getting into the Bible more and more, I started seeing life from a reasonable perspective, I then discovered that religion was a scam! God in fact doesn't exist, even if he does, he is not the monster portrayed in the Bible.. . Gbam, I told everyone I didn't believe in God..

My mum was heartbroken, she was shocked, all my sis were like "if there is no God, where do you get money from" (I fucking work for money!).. All my relatives didn't believe it..

My course mates were like, "I know you are just joking, because you can't mean it".. not knowing I mean everything I say!

The Bible is there, read it with sense!! ! And you will understand!

Correction: I didn't say it was "not spiritual". I said it was not supernatural. It was as spiritual as any actual religious experience.

LaClicKLaBenDin:
They have done all their research, and armed themselves with plenty weapons and now they have invaded the thread.... All in a bid to disprove their darling science which isn't in their favour this time.

Very predictable people.

When I gave my life to Christ at Foursquare Gospel Church, I was in JSS 1. After we said the sinner's prayer, our Sunday School teacher tried to get us baptised in the Holy Spirit. I was waiting for the Holy Spirit to descend on me and make me speak in tongues, but I didn't feel anything. Most of the girls started speaking in tongues, but I got nothing. I earnestly and sincerely ask God for it, but nothing happened.

When I got to Ife and started attending ECU, the fellowship my parents attended, we had to take a membership class and my teacher and his best friend also tried to get me baptised in the Holy Spirit to no avail. I remember them taking me to the sports center and praying with me and urging me to speak. I patiently waited for the Holy Spirit to descend on me but nothing happened. Then they had to explain that speaking in tongues is by faith. God supplies the word, and we speak them out, they said. To me it sounded as if they were encouraging me to fake it, and suggesting that everyone fakes it, but I just couldn't accept that. I wanted to experience it genuinely, like the apostles did in the bible.

So one day, as I was praying very intensely in my room, I felt a subtle urge to start saying some nonsense words that came to my mind, and I did. And once I started, I found that new words came to my mind and I could continue speaking them. That's how I started speaking in tongues. In my fellowship, it was common for the pastors to ask everyone to start speaking in tongues during worship; now I could join in! But it was also a bit of a disappointment because the experience was emotional, not supernatural. The Holy Spirit didn't take over my body.

When I was re-watching Sinach's video to transcribe her tongues, I actually felt the urge to speak in tongues again. I think listening to the beautiful way she sang the tongues triggered something in me. I bet I can still speak in tongues today if I choose to succumb to the feeling.

jonbellion:
Actually when I was a christian I never had any interest in the nonsense
Maybe because most people I knew didn't seem to do it genuinely
They usually had a ringtone or something on their phone and they always related the same gibberish in every prayer
I don't think this is how angels converse

jonbellion:
what kind of no true Scotsman fallacy is this
Anybody that left Christianity was never a christian??
Well I do know I've given my life to Christ and was in the choir when I was still a christian
Ummm I beg your pardon@thie second sentence

Omudia11:
You were a church goer, not a christian! Now give us scientific proof of hypnotism through air blowing.

jonbellion:
so you don't actively go to church

jonbellion:
that's the point I'm not busy right now
Until January
And yes I have completely left I just talk about religion cuz it plays an important part in our society and unbelievers like myself don't have a voice in it
I mean would you people even vote for an unbeliever as your leader
No you would not
You people sef
You just want people like atheists and unbelievers to shut up while you get to talk about your beliefs freely
I wouldn't care if it has not eaten so deeply in your society. If there were followers of Santa Claus imposing thier beliefs and letting it influence our society then yes i would talk about Santa claus

jonbellion:

What are you saying
I just put it in a way you guys would understand since that's your belief
I was a christian once you know

Firstly they fined tuned me with verses from the Bible........then they set the atmosphere with some nice songs(yes those gospel songs are nice)then everyone else started speaking it........motivation talks of "its in Ur belly just speak it out" more melodious music........adrenaline rush and the the fact that everyone else was saying something I muttered some words and voila you've been filled with the holy ghost





In conclusion :
How to get filled with the holy ghost
1. Tell them stories of others who have received the holy spirit.

2. Fill the atmosphere with sonorous and melodious tunes(very necessary )

3. Give them the "its in your belly" push

Wow! I didn't even know this. Thanks for the enlightenment.

I was an alter server in the catholic church, I was a Bible teacher in watchman.. I don't think you know religion more than I do, you won't know how senseless you are until you break free from religion, go and read your Bible, page to page, read it with sense, and you yourself will see how brainwashed you've been

Welcome back to reality sweetheart... For you have broken the chains of religion.. don't let anyone tell you otherwise, religion is for unreasonable set of people, people who don't think.. But finally you are back dear.. Enjoy your life

This one doesn't believe God exists, yet he troubles himself about a non-existing God.

I don't get you.... this guy just shifted from Christianity..... so wish one are u praising his twisted insight which I believe is an inspired error

foladara777:
Oh really??... I am the one making assumptions about hypnosis but your assertion about it being the holy spirit of based on logic and evidence?? And I didn't tag it hypnosis, I said it could have been. How is the hypnosis theory less credible than the holy spirit theory

jizzus:
You need to check into a psychiatric hospital............. there are no such things as demons,the faster you understand this the more receptive you'll be to logical reasoning

foladara777:
Uhmmm... Come again but this time in English

jizzus:
Yes I do,I basically was basking in the euphoria of the "holy spirit"

foladara777:
- u don't see anything. Don't assume. I speak in tongues too, I have literally fallen under the 'anointing' too but that's not enough proof that the holy spirit is responsible... I don't believe that an all powerful God requires people to fall and wound themselves or sometimes expose their underwear for an almighty being to impart them

jonbellion:
lol no

What about the little part about atrocities committed by your master??
