Former Heavens: Human governments that has failed to make life sweet for their subjects with empty promises, they're like the heavens everyone is looking up to for a better living conditions.

Former Earth: Rebellious humans making it difficult for their leaders to provide a peaceful and loving neighbourhood.

New Heavens: God's own government made up of Jesus Christ and his 144,000 co-rulers, they will make this planet a Paradise for everyone living in it.

New Earth: One big and happy family of peace loving people redeemed through the sacrificial death of Christ Jesus, they will make up a peaceful world under the leadership of Jesus and his 144,000 brothers.

Gradually Jesus Christ and his angels are setting apart the New Earth as millions of peace obedient people (SHEEP) are separating themselves from rebellious ones (GOATS) to become part of God's organized people! Matthew 13:30 compare to 25:40, 46

Jehovah is gradually creating the New Heavens with BORN AGAIN Christian brothers of Christ Jesus while Jehovah called His worshipers by another group name "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" {Isaiah 65:15} New Earth is surfacing globally! Isaiah 65:17
Just see delusion everywhere grin grin grin

Why does he need somebody to commit suicide before forgiveness...
Where did you read that from?

LordReed:
They are not acting, they are reacting.
Which shows they received what their reacting to.

There is no intelligence to their reactions, they simply following chemical trails and reacting according to the chemical nature of their structures.
But the instructions are coded in there.

Neither the ovum or the sperm know anything they are simply work according to how they are put together.
Who out them together?

The ovum releases a chemical as soon as it enters the fallopian tube and protein receptor on the sperm are triggered by the chemical causing the sperm to follow the trail based on the concentration of chemicals in its environment.
Very nice!

Which means the sperm has ability to decode and that instructions are within its own cell.

It addresses your point completely since you seem to be arguing against the chemical nature of DNA and its interactions.
It didn't and I didn't argue against the chemical nature.

You started with an analogy of Hydrogen and Oxygen. Don't forget!

So chemical nature of DNA has instructions within themselves to carry out all the activities which many agree to be PROGRAMMED.

Which is a chemical reaction. The molecules making up the DNA bind with molecules from another set of DNA. There is no code or instructions beyond what those reactions cause.
You agree that a code or instructions arose from that.

A human sperm will not fertile goat ovum naturally. No foetus will be formed.
So you haven't heard a goat given birth to abnormal foetus before with something like human head or face?

What caused it?

They are only called instructions and code to simplify their interaction when presenting to laymen
Not at all! That's exactly what it is. It's a code and instructions.

because, if you have Hydrogen and oxygen coming together to become water without input of an intelligent being and during the process the water supposed to fill a bucket and cup. These two elements know when to produce a new one to produce water and STOP producing a new one when the bucket was full and move to the position of the cup and did the same thing. Then you'll understand it's beyond just ordinary chemical reaction.

Apologies, I meant to write instructions not signals.
Smile.....
Christianity Etc › Re: The Relationship Between The Creator And The Creation. by Emusan(m): 11:03pm On May 05, 2023
LordReed:
No, chemical structures do not send or receive instructions.
Definitely!

They totally do.

Sperm cells, bacteria and other microscopic organisms use varying concentrations of chemicals in their environment -- concentration gradients -- to approach or avoid something in a process called chemotaxis. Egg cells release an attractant chemical, which lures the sperm. The researchers studied this action in Ascidia -- sea squirts, brainless tubular creatures, which are only mobile as larvae.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181115104608.htm
This is very funny

You forgot that these cells are unconscious living cells? But see them acting intelligently.

How does the egg know that sperm cell is around before releasing the chemical?

Sure the egg releases a chemical but the sperm cell knows exactly where it's going and what to do. As this process takes place at the far end of the fallopian tube.

It's not the chemical released by the egg that taught the sperm cell how to swim or inform the sperm cells how to increase its speed.

DNA is short for D eoxyribo N ucleic Acid clearly indicating it is a chemical structure. And the the thing you are calling code is just how it reacts to other chemicals based on the arrangement of the protein molecules,

Read more:
The chemical DNA was first discovered in 1869, but its role in genetic inheritance was not demonstrated until 1943. In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick, aided by the work of biophysicists Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, determined that the structure of DNA is a double-helix polymer, a spiral consisting of two DNA strands wound around each other. The breakthrough led to significant advances in scientists’ understanding of DNA replication and hereditary control of cellular activities.

Each strand of a DNA molecule is composed of a long chain of monomer nucleotides. The nucleotides of DNA consist of a deoxyribose sugar molecule to which is attached a phosphate group and one of four nitrogenous bases: two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). The nucleotides are joined together by covalent bonds between the phosphate of one nucleotide and the sugar of the next, forming a phosphate-sugar backbone from which the nitrogenous bases protrude. One strand is held to another by hydrogen bonds between the bases; the sequencing of this bonding is specific—i.e., adenine bonds only with thymine, and cytosine only with guanine.

The configuration of the DNA molecule is highly stable, allowing it to act as a template for the replication of new DNA molecules, as well as for the production (transcription) of the related RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecule. A segment of DNA that codes for the cell’s synthesis of a specific protein is called a gene.

DNA replicates by separating into two single strands, each of which serves as a template for a new strand. The new strands are copied by the same principle of hydrogen-bond pairing between bases that exists in the double helix. Two new double-stranded molecules of DNA are produced, each containing one of the original strands and one new strand. This “semiconservative” replication is the key to the stable inheritance of genetic traits.

I don't need this long story, as this doesn't address my point.

The fusion of the 22 autosomes and X-Y chromosome where each chromosome knows exactly which one to align and fuse with is my point.


BTW the reason a human sperm will not interact with a goat's ovum
They fused (or going by word "interact"wink with each other.

If not a goat won't give birth to abnormal foetus when a man slept with it.

is because the DNA sequences are incompatible with one another thus they cannot react in the manner that will cause an embryo to form.
Yes! The instructions in their DNA are not compatible. Reason abnormal foetus will be delivered. But embryo will form.

The very DNA sequences is the instructions which tell each DNA how many times to replicate and when to stop replicating. All these instructions are programmed into the DNA.

So when a goat and human DNA come together the instructions will be distorted.

Remember, if this are just ordinary chemical reaction carried out by unconscious living cells there will always be a problem.

Maybe in a lab you can cause it to happen but it won't naturally.
You don't even need lab to know a human sperm cell can fertilised goat egg but the outcome will be very terrible.

They do not send or receive signals remember.
They do!

because you just agreed above that egg releases a chemical which the sperm cell will decode.

Is that not sending and receiving signal?

The male gamete breaks into the female gamete. So, technically speaking, since, the content of the male gametes fuses with that of the female gamete, lord-reed is not wrong.
So technically speaking, gametes don't fuse but the contents do.

This is a very complicated process and a difficult question. To say the other chromosome "locates" and aligns with its counterpart is the wrong presentation of this question.
very COMPLICATED PROCESS yet you said my presentation is wrong grin grin grin

unconscious living cells? explain

LordReed:
I am not sure what you are trying to contest here. Is it that you don't think living cells are chemical structures
Chemical structure don't receive instructions or send either.

or that the gametes are "attracted" to one another because of chemicals
Yes! They don't ATTRACT to each other because of chemicals but follow the instructions sent to them.

or that DNA is a chemical structure that reacts with other chemical structures to produce the effects which we see.
DNA don't react with each other but fused and a new code is generated that caused effect we see.

I gave you example of human and goat.

If it's just ordinary chemical reaction, then when a human sperm come in contact with a goat, it should have produced perfect structure.

Which of these are you contesting?
What is the origin of the instructions cells received to build a structure?
Christianity Etc › Re: The Relationship Between The Creator And The Creation. by Emusan(m): 10:17pm On May 04, 2023
LordReed:
Because they chemical based and by the nature of our physical universe these chemical reactions follow a pattern without the need for any conscious intervention.
Smile....
From cell to chemical cheesy grin cheesy grin

Meanwhile, it's beyond just that.

If you put hydrogen and oxygen together you will get water, you don't need to instruct the atoms on what to do.
If AN INTELLIGENT HUMAN puts Hydrogen and oxygen together under a SELECTIVE conditions (i.e in the laboratory). Don't forget that part.

Chimpanzee can't put Hydrogen and Oxygen together and in their habitation and get water.

Human sperm fertilising female goat egg won't come out in a reasonable structure even both are cells (or chemical reaction according to you).

You know why? because the instructions in their DNA to form goat or human are different.

Similarly the gametes will pair up because the underlying chemical reactions pave the way or are in effect, no instructions needed.
That means you don't know what you're talking about. The instructions needed are already stored in the DNA.

The 22 female autosomes perfectly aligned with the male 22 autosomes.

Then the X - Y chromosome which is responsible for sex will do the same without missing it.

After this alignment is when fusion takes place where a new code will form that will build what is us.

Try to watch some "conception to birth" videos to understand this miracle especially one by Alexander Tsiaras

LordReed:
You mean the fusion of the gametes?
Gametes don't fuse but the chromosomes do.

So how can each chromosome locate and align with exact other chromosome, if not because it was designed that way?

Aside from the decision to mate there is no other conscious decision being made.
I love this point, so if there's no conscious decision. How can this tiny tiny cells know exactly what to do in other to build what is us?

Yeah, all living cells do that.
Good which means this unconscious living cells know exactly what to do without any external input. How come?

I don't understand this question.

Basic nutrients convert into energy.
By the foetus itself.

And as basic as they are they are considerable, ask any pregnant woman.

Someone posted this question in a telegram group I'm part of.
Many people responded that whoever commits suicide is going to hell. However, I did a little research on it by asking Google. I was surprised to see in the articles written by foreign religious leaders that suicide doesn't take anyone to hell and they supported their views with a lot of verses from the Bible.

As a Nigerian, do you think suicide take anyone to hell?
The simple fact is that, who ever is in Christ can't commit suicide.

And only those who are of Christ will make heaven!

Christianity Etc › Re: What Does It Mean To Be Born Again? by Emusan(m): 11:50am On May 02, 2023
Jokanem:
Why is a person born again?

Jesus said: “Unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

So being born again prepares a person to rule with Christ in God’s Kingdom.
But this contradict your definition above.

Besides, Jesus said "Unless ANYONE..."

So how come "... cannot see the Kingdom of God" later change to "prepare a person to rule with Christ in God's kingdom"?

Also, the kingdom of God will still be on earth, so how come non-born again persons will still enter God's kingdom?

Jesus was thus born again by holy spirit as a son of God with the hope of returning to life in heaven. (Mark 1:​9-​11) God fulfilled this hope by resurrecting Jesus as a spirit creature.​—Acts 13:33.
But Jesus returned to life ON EARTH and not in heaven.

Others who are born again are also baptized in water before they receive the holy spirit.(Acts 2:​38, 41) They then have the sure hope of life in heaven, which God will fulfill in the resurrection.​—1 Corinthians 15:42-​49.
But Watchtower claimed those who will rule with Christ has started resurrecting since 1914

That second group of Christians have the opportunity to live forever in Paradise on earth.​—Psalm 37:29; Matthew 6:​9, 10; Revelation 21:​1-5.

However, God chooses those who will be born again, or anointed with holy spirit.
If God is the one who chooses those who are born again, them Jesus statement of "Unless ANYONE is born again" is of no use.

Jesus would have openly told the man.

According to the Bible, being born again “depends, not on a person’s desire or on his effort, but on God.” (Romans 9:​16)
According to your explanation, being born again is to be baptized with water and Holy spirit.

Yet all believers are baptized by water and are born from God. 1 John 3:9

So definitely, all believers are born again.

The expression “born again” can also be rendered “born from above,” confirming that the selection of those who are born again comes “from above,” or from God.​—John 3:3.
This confirms that you don't read your Bible, all believers are BORN FROM GOD. 1 John 3:9, 1 Peter 1:23, 1 John 2:29, 1 John 5:1
