Prof already said its non of your fucking business if he tears his green card or not mayb if the green card were urs u would have burnt it. The level of reasoning of our youth this days is quite appalling, instead of of making a poke at someone that has reached the pinnacle of his career u can just think about urs .

Religion / Re: Why Would God Need Humans To Serve Him. by eyidaythedon(m): 1:31am On Nov 18, 2016
royalvalentine19:
i wont talk to much, cause it seems arguement is taking its height here all in the name of religion.

I dont love my religion , but i love Christ.

And concerning the question, God wants humans to serve him (my view) cause we were created in his own imagine. In matthew chapter 4 vs 9 'and saith unto him(by the devil to Jesus), all there things will i give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me' even the devil obviously wants worship and praises.

So why do you think God wants praise for humans? Only God can tell , and i pray He gives me that unfolding revelation about Him (so i could tell it to you , how real He is).

To me modern praise is not even enough, cause he said , 'he knew us before we were formed/born'.

So tell me how much praise can you give unto Him that would be enough?
How much praises will you give unto Him like King David did?
How much dance or names will you give unto him that would be enough?

Let me just let you know that God doesn't sees us has is image , but has is TOOL .and if you won't praise him,He said 'I will raise stones to praise me' if you cant.

Shalom!
One would expect satan the devil to demand that and not God. Due to the inflated ego of the devil, he wanted to prove to God that he is above him and he can make his sopposed beloved creatures idolize him.

Splinz:
These questions are misplaced ones.

The right question to ask is: Why Did God Create Man In other word, Why Do I Exist

Interestingly enough, life is only meaningful when this most important question is answered.
As at the last time i checked, that question is the most difficult one to answer except when we die and God 'that's if He exists will have to tell us. Believe me, he has a lot of explanation to make since he intentionally or otherwise mystified us.
Religion / Why Would God Need Humans To Serve Him. by eyidaythedon(m): 8:06pm On Nov 16, 2016
The way religion is going in this country is just counter common sense and it has got me thinking. If God has a host of angels in heaven, 24 elders, 4 terrifying beasts, Rev 5:11 even went further to record that And behold, i heard the voices of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. With all this stupendeous figures why the hell will god need man to worship him. I am not a christian but to avoid been dogmatic i will compromise on my stand that God does not exist and take my arguement further as thus:
If God really created the earth and humans, then i don't think it was for us to worship him even Jesus says in Luke 19:40 that if the people should hold their peace, the stones will immediately cry out, so if God can even raise stones to worship him then the question remains, why would God need humans to worship him as Christians claim.
The only order God gave man is to take dominion of this planet earth and not serve him and as per that, it is only scientists that is really following Gods instructions.

Religion / Is The Bible Holy? by eyidaythedon(m): 11:02pm On Oct 05, 2016
What will you call these: the revised standard version, the new american standard bible and the new world translation of the holy bible have expunged Mark 16 : 9-20 from the bible. History have shown that these versions have expunged certain verses that are found in The King James version. The Reader's Digest has reduced the old testament by 50 percent and the new testament by about 25 percent. Some years ago Christian theologians wanted to 'desex' the bible. Do you still believe the bible is holy....

SHALOM!

During the 19th Century, the Oyinbos still removed all the Essential Commandments from The Gospel, then marvelled that they could not get the same results that the Ancient Saints had reported.

They then came up with the brilliant deduction, that since God did not respond to their wicked truncation of His Gospel, He must not really exist.

During the time that they reached this conclusion, they had built empires on Invasion, Mass Murder, Enslavement, Fraud, and Blasphemy.

They wanted God to ignore all that, and Talk with them as equals.

Why should that happen?
That is because there were never results ancient or modern....

Religion / Religion....the Opium Of The Masses by eyidaythedon(m): 6:59am On Oct 05, 2016
The profane existence of error is compromised as soon as its heavenly oratio pro aris et focis [“speech for the altars and hearths,” i.e., for God and country] has been refuted. Man, who has found only the reflection of himself in the fantastic reality of heaven, where he sought a superman, will no longer feel disposed to find the mere appearance of himself, the non-man [Unmensch], where he seeks and must seek his true reality. The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man – state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d’honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo. Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck
the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun. Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself. It is, therefore, the task of history, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world. It is the immediate task of
philosophy, which is in the service of history, to unmask self-estrangement in its unholy forms once the holy form of human self-estrangement has been unmasked. Thus, the criticism of Heaven turns into the criticism of Earth, the criticism of religion into the criticism of law, and the criticism of theology into the criticism of politics. Religion is nothing but the hope of the hopeless world, sigh of the oppressed creature, soul of the souless condition, an epileptic illusion, man's alienation of himself in fewerbach expressive words 'the projection of man's best qualities into the cosmos only to be overcomed by the realization that God those not exist outside of his tiny mind, the opium of the people. The begining, middle and end of religion is man. God did not create man rather God is a creation of human conciousness.

Les:
believe me, you can't know God unless He leads you and you have to submit to Him by faith. And salvation comes by faith in the name of Jesus Christ. The bible is powerful enough to do anything but your spirit has to be the one reading the word not your eyes. When your spirit is the one reading, believe me, you'll see beyond what your eyes sees. And so many things happen when you study the word by your spirit and not just with your sense;
you are transformed,
There's this inexpressible joy within you.
There's this assurance that you are saved
And so on. And in this case, you don't see any errors.
Thats is the most deriding, illogical and stupid part of religion or christianity rather....Faith

malvisguy212:
1. You miss the context their, These are two different men. "Hadarezer" is the son from who David took 7000 horsemen. Hadarezer Rehob was the father of Haderezer from who David took 700 horsemen.
2. The names are the Jewish form of the same names.
3. 2 Samuel tells us it is the men OF 700 chariots while 1st Chronicles tells us it is 7000 men who fought in chariots. The fact that there were 7000 men over 700 chariots fighting in chariots, tells us, there were 10 men assigned to a chariot. Battles drug on for long periods of time. The chariot riders would tire so someone else would have to take over
4. In the Septuagint, both verses read 22. However, there is a possible alternative.
5. Jehoachin's father,Madehim, became an unofficial co- ruler at the age of eight to train him! This was followed with Jehoachin becoming officially the king at his father's death at 18 years of age!
6."Now these be the last words of David." This tells us that the list in II Samuel 23 was compiled at the end of David's life. But when we read I Chronicles 11, we discover that this list encompasses the time period when "David waxed greater and greater" (vs. 9). Thus the list in I Chronicles 11 was compiled early in David's reign, and the list in II Samuel 23 was compiled at the end of his reign.
Once we recognize this distinction between the
two lists, the differences between them start to
make more sense. First, the men in these lists
were all soldiers, so we would expect the list to
grow shorter as various men lost their lives in
battle. And second, if we had a complete catalog of all the accomplishments of each man on these lists, we would expect the later list to contain at least a few accomplishments which surpassed the greatest accomplishment on the earlier list.
7. God had warn david not to number israel. David look back to his victory and was full of pride, the devil know that if david number israel, it will anger the Lord. On the other hand, God wanted to brought david down on his knell so He allow satan to tempt david to number israel.
good excuses though, explained as though you wrote the words but not all that satisfied with it though

let not your heart be troubled, God is perfect but the vessel, man, He uses is imperfect so mistakes are bound to happen. it's been happening right since the time of Adam, to Abraham down to Moses including David, the man after Gods own heart and to you and I. I'll advise to study the scripture more, especially the new testament, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind rather than to focus on the disparity between numbers and letters
If God is perfect, the question is why will he ever allow his words create so much confusion even the bible says that he cherish his words than his name.

Religion / Re: How To Know If Your Religion Is The Fake One! by eyidaythedon(m): 1:59pm On Oct 02, 2016
hahn:
I know what you are thinking, "my religion is the right one!"

Well, that is what the adherents of other religions also say and there are 4,199, excluding yours, of them



As you can see, the odds are not in your favour undecided

Let us also put into consideration that there 7 versions of hell, ie 7 religions who also have hell (aside from yours),



the odds are still not in your favor.

But there is hope! cheesy

This thread aims at helping you identify if your religion is wrong as to as ensure you make the right choice and not end up in the real hell wink

In no particular order, here are common signs you can use in detecting if your religion is the true one and also help you identify the true religion if you happen to come across it.

Please note that the true religion will not have any of these traits. smiley

1) Your "holy" book has lots of contradictions: Let us assume for instance that you are about to purchase a maths textbook for your kid, or for yourself, and on the first page you see "1+1=11", wouldn't this be enough to make you feel skeptical? Now, let us further imagine that you turn to the next page and the next and the next and keep seeing contradictions, would you still buy the book and even, in obvious stupidity, go around telling people that 1+1=11? undecided

If your "holy" book has these contradictions, it would be wise to throw it in the trash can. This is an obvious sign that your religion is false.

In order find out if your "holy" book fits into this category, it would be advisable that you read it on your own. Do not rely on heresay, your pastor, imam, holy junkie to read and interpret it on your behalf. Pick it up and read it for yourself angry

God will be proud of you smiley

2) You find a hard time explaining your religion to other people: Whenever someone else asks you "why" about your religious teachings you seem to find it difficult explaining it to them. No matter how hard and long you try to explain, you always seem to end up at a dead end. Most times, your religious teachings just do not make enough sense when you try explaining it to someone else.

Honestly, if your religion was from the one true "God", it wouldn't be that difficult to explain, now would it? undecided

Afterall, God is not one of confusion. smiley

3) Your religion seems to be plagiarized from other older religions: This one is a hard one to notice especially if you do not have adequate knowledge of other religions. If your religion has similar stories from other older religions then your religion is obviously fake. Afterall, God doesn't copy and paste. smiley

To verify this, you would have to read up on ancient religions and point out the similarities with yours. If there are any, your religion is false.

www.google.com is a good place to start. And it's FREE! grin

4) You are required to believe without evidence and only faith : So, you want to buy a house and the real estate manager tells you that the house is beautiful and gives you all the specs of the house but tells you that you cannot see the house but that all you have to do is believe the house is there and make payment for the house, will you pay? undecided

Now, apply this analogy to your faith. If someone tells you to believe whatever it is they are talking about without any proof, my bro/sis, na bobo. Pure scam. Do not risk eternity for such vague and unverifiable promises sad

5) You have never seen your God: Your God seems to be invincible, no one has ever seen it, or you have to carve stones and sticks just to see it then your God is nothing but a project of someone else's imagination. As beautiful and magnificent as the sun is we all see it. If your god was so real we would see it. Trust me, god would have no reason to play hide and seek.

6) Your god's characteristics contradicts itself: Your god is omnipresent but was not there when the first sin took place to prevent it. Your god is omniscient but created the devil to deceive people knowing very well they will end up in hell eventually. Your god is all loving but threatens people to love it or face eternal torture, damnation and barbecue in hell. That is not unconditional love. To know the meaning of the word unconditional, check it yourself @ www.dictionary.com. It is free. smiley

7) Your god needs to be worshiped: Even to the extent of threatening to burn you in hell if you don't. Seriously? God that created everything needs you, a human who happens to be infinitesimal in the grand scheme of the universe, just to feel funky? undecided If your god is truly great, it wouldn't need to servitude and slavery. These are human cravings, not that of a supreme being. sad

cool Your god supports slavery, discrimination and genocide: Just look into your holy book. If there are pages where these things are supported then your god is actually a psychopath and if you eventually see it, take it to a psychiatric hospital angry

9) No one has ever seen the hell or heaven of your religion: This one is kinda tricky because every religion that has hell and heaven also have adherents who have "died" and seen these places. Christians have died and seen Jesus and Jehovah so have Muslims who have died and see Allah and their future 72 virgin wives wink , Buddhists too etc.

Even you can deduce that there is something fishy here. Did they really see heaven or hell or just projections of their imaginations or are they just plain old lying? lipsrsealed

10) There is no where in your holy book where your god refers itself as the god of your people: God of the Ibos? God of the Yorubas? God of the hausas? God of Africans? Have you ever heard your god refer to itself as the god of your people?

I doubt that. It is either it is god of israel or god of arabs of god of indians etc.

If your god is like this then be certain it is not a true god because a true god will not be tribalistic or take sides. After all, it did create everyone, didn't it? undecided

11) You do not know anyone personally that has been healed miraculously by your god: And neither have you. All the "testimonies" are always in church, mosque, radio, tv, blogs, websites but never to you or people around you. You know a crippled in your area but no pastor or imam has ever been able to heal that person just out of the goodness of their heart. Very suspicious I say undecided

12) Your god always needs money: Your pastor says you need money to build a house for god(as if spirits need to live in houses undecided ) or that it needs money before healing you or providing any of it's other services like granting you a job, giving you a wife/husband, kids etc. It sha needs tithes and offering EVERY TIME. I mean how hard can it be for god to make money? Didn't it create everything?

A side effect of this is that the pastors, imams and spiritual junkies who collect these tithes on behalf of your god always seem to wear the finest clothes, ride the best cars, send their kids to the best schools(which 80% of the congregation cannot afford) and enjoy all the canal things of earth while you wait for paradise in heaven. Nigu undecided

I will stop here for now. But these tips should be enough to guide you and help you avoid following the wrong religion, finding the right one and not ending up in hell. smiley
