because you said I change mouth when cornered.
Whatever you think, it doesn't negate the fact that God is against us calling others names.

If he is against it why didn't he condemn David for saying it?

So I am not here to ascertain if you are a fool but to stress on God not advising us to call others names.

Hope you get it?

Again this is unnecessary.

To me, the Bible being an inspiration from God means the writer was inspired to write down happenings of some people's activities and also to write down God's spoken words. That's the meaning of it.

Inspired by who? Or inspired by what?

It doesn't mean because the writer was inspired to write down about David's poem or song, it should then be interpreted as God wants us to call others like that.

Are you saying the Bible writers where just inspired and not necessarily inspired by God?

I want you to get me because that's my understanding but if you don't cool.

That's just ur understanding, u probably could be wrong right?

And I'm sorry if I sounded insultive because I was driving at coming at an understandable conclusion. But who knows, I might be a fool in your eyes too just as you are a fool to someone else's

No matter who the fool is, it isn't supported in the christian doctrine to go around calling others fools.

I must commend you acted wisely. I thought I would get the insult of my life. Thanks dear.

He didn't condemn David when he called others fools, this shows he supports it.

opezeroy:
Ok, pls answer this question
Who sees to how and when the sun shines, how you grow, how and when the moon comes out to shine and how the birds fly without falling?..
I know u will want to say ehn; since the bird has wings and feather it's naturally attached with the ability to fly without falling...
And i will say again that; even the hen has wings and feathers so, WHY aren't them soaring high to the extent of a normal bird?[eagle]

U want to derail from ur own thread?
I don't know who sees to how the sun shines. It has been shining before I was born and it will still be shining till am gone. I have never seen anyone control it before, have u?

Back to topic, u know faith is bullshitttt has why u work hard that's why u are careful. So next time don't opens thread when the joke of ur own topic is on u.

I see dumb spacetacular eager to believe any superstitious story as usual.

@op
Why would this guy want to shoot? You wrote a long episode about how nice u are but didn't care to explain what happened between u and the just on guy that wants to harm u. Pls kindly explain what u did to him that caused him to want to harm u.

Secondly, how did u know it was Yahweh that sent his guardian angel to make u invisible? Pls kindly explain what led to this conclusion.

opezeroy:
Even the word of GOD says in James 2:14-26 New King James Version (NKJV)

"What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have

works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not

give them the things which are needed for the

body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." So, anyone who claims is a 'christian' and does not have anything{work} doing is not a christian.

I noticed from your reply that you are 1 of them 'aetheist'.

I'm now telling you that you have faith that GOD is existing but, you are being obstinate in coming to the knowledge of truth, and i will prove that to you....

I will give you an instance that validate your faith in the existence of GOD.
I know you have faith that their's an existence [BEING] the CONTROLLER of every activity occuring on this earth such as;the air we breathe, the growth experienced by humans, animals and plants, e.t.c that's not controlled by human unless you want to be odd . Or i f you want to claim you dont believe that, you said something about driving your car the other time.
I will put this forward to you;
if you did not get into the car to drive the car, is it going to move on it's own accord? Definitely the answer is NO!

Therefore any activity occuring on this earth that is not engineered or controlled by any human is control by a BEING; which is the SUPREME BEIGN[b]

From your write up I know u don't have faith. Stop trying to justify working despite having faith. You know that's the only hope u have to make a living. Yes WORK is the only hope u have and not some nonsense faith.
And this is where the Bible played u. It tells u to have faith but insists u must work, u see nothing fishy with that?
Your God does not exists, he is just an assumption in ur head that's why u have to live the same life I am living.
We both WORK hard and take necessary precautions in this life, that's because we have both accepted that faith is useless. The difference between me and u is that I am honest to openly say faith is bullshitttt while u can't openly say it because u are scared of hell but your daily life says that u don't have faith.
If u have faith, u will not need to work. Forget what the Bible says about working, it only used ur head to fry akara.
Even the Bible knows father is useless that why it warns u to work.

bennyann:
So it was God that also inspired him to commit adultery because it was written down in the Bible?

Where did you guys come from? I don't understand how you all can't comprehend simple tenses all because you want to put God in a box.

No matter how you see or understand it, no matter the stories of others you read in the Bible, what I know is God never commanded Christians to call others fools, infact He is against it.

And stop thinking I'm trying to say you are not a fool. I'm not defending whether you are a fool or not. What I'm saying is God didn't send us out to call others fools.

When he committed adultery, he was outrightly condemed by Yahweh. But when he called non believers fool he wasn't. U are trying to play politics with what is glaring.
Beside Christians say this with authority, pastors say it on the pulpit. Where the hell do u think they learnt it from and this is what matters. If God inspired the Bible, he also inspired David to call people who do not believe in him fools.

And stop thinking I'm trying to say you are not a fool. I'm not defending whether you are a fool or not.

What's this information for? Why will I care if u think I am a fool or not. I am still trying to grasp why u have to say this

Deicide:
Seriously you honestly believe this crap? mind you Muslims also believe that their holy book was inspired by God in fact written by God......so bennyann i ask again do you honestly believe that crap or it's just what you want to believe?

She believes the bible was inspired by her loving God, but will not accept it when it inspires David to call people fools.

bennyann:
The wrong doings of David are in the Bible also, I am not to follow it because someone was inspired by God to write down the story.

Why would God inspire any one to write it if he does not want u to follow it.

Do u actually see how u Christians change mouth when cornered?

God inspired David o call people fools for saying he does not exist and u are here saying what I don't understand

bennyann:
The Bible is inspired by God but it also tells us what to follow and not what to follow. The wrong doings of David are in the Bible also, I am not to follow it because someone was inspired by God to write down the story.

Yes, David said a fool is a person who says to himself, there's no God. He praised God with it but that does not mean God says we should go around calling people fools. They are two different things.

If David, a man after Gods heart said it and God did not rebuke him, who are u to say he was wrong? Why wouldn't God follower learn from it?
Madam pls stop stretching mater like u Christians do. I am not the ones who quote it constantly, it is Christians that quote it with confidence because they learnt it from David, a man after Gods heart.

bennyann:
Really? If David says fool, is it the same as God telling His people to call you fool?

Did you see David saying, you there! You are a fool because you say in your heart there is no God? How was he even supposed to know what a man thinks in his heart?

Ok then, thank you

Yes it is the same thing because he is an authority for Christians. Christians believe that all what's written in the Bible was inspired by God, so don't make objections when situations like this arise.
We see Christians quoting it left right and center on this forum and beyond, where did u think they heard it from? Let me give u that answer: BIBLE.
If David had not said it, Christians will not quote it without feeling that are insulting the person they are referring to.

How was he supposed to know what a man thinks? You should ask him, perhaps he was high on some holy weed when he said it.

opezeroy:

Faith is strong evidence. It is that assured
knowing deep in one’s spirit that what is
gestating as merely the seed of a thought will
come through the birth canal of human
experience and produce a flesh-and-blood
nativity. An atheist claims he doesn’t believe God exist
and so declares that he does not have faith at all.
However, all his actions points to the fact that he
does have faith! He drives his car on the highway, believing that
the rest cars on the road are driven by sane and
skillful drivers, so he won’t be hit; he is high up in
the sky, in an aeroplane, moving at over 100km
per second, with faith that the plane won’t crash;
he also sends his kids to school and has confidence in the school’s security that his kids
will return safely—he’s been doing all these for
years. So, it’s safe to say, that his claim to not
have faith is false. But the strength of faith ultimately rests not on
the assurance of our “knowing” but on the
reliability of the One we know and choose to
trust. It is the seed that He plants in our life that
becomes the bedrock evidence that we can rest
on even in the midst of condemning evidence submitted by our accuser. Ultimately, our faith must rest in the judicial
fairness of the Supreme Judge—the Almighty
God.

Lol... Who drives on the high way believing that every other driver is a sane person and is as good a driver as him? That person must be a learner.

Oga stop making up ridiculous stories just to make ur non existent God make sense.

I would rather say Christians claim they have faith but don't apply it, they already know faith is dead on arrival that's why u they are hypocrits.

Being cautious is for those who don't have faith. As a driver, I am always careful so that I can at best handle unforseen circumstances. before sending my kids to school I ask all necessary question and get the best information that will at best give me a high confidence that they are safe.
A Christian that is cautious is actually making a mockery of his faith. If you believe that your magical sky daddy will give you everything you ask for yet you wake up every morning leave ur house to work hard for your daily bread, then u actually are saying ur faith is useless. If you have faith your God will protect you always and you drive carefully, then u are indirectly saying faith is rubbish.

bennyann:
Come here o

Come and show me where God tells His people to call others fool.

I'm waiting

Psalm 14:1 read it and thank me later

jonbellion:
Una nor dey tire sha

As in... Repeating the same thing over and over again. Ebuka is scared of atheists, even YAHWEH is scared.

Tuhbee:
Hahahahaha! But Mr Frank, why are you such a wicked 'bastard'?

He is obviously a drowning man looking for who to cling unto.
He has been recognised as the official slowpoke of Nairaland. I have learnt not to take him serious.
Watch as he is following the lady like a confused chick, she does not even recognize him. How many times has she shown support for his idiotic comments, but he is all over the place for her sake.
I know sometimes she wishes he was an atheist... But sadly she is on his side, so she just manages to deal with it.

as regards their character, I think these Christians are doing what their God wants from them. He asked them to call unbelievers fools

Daviddson:
There's a limit to which you can help yourself in moulding good character. Character and morality go together. Since atheists believe morality is not absolute, they can't cultivate one consistently.

still, we are waiting to see theists who have cultivated one consistently. That's why I say they are hypocrites, claiming to be what they are not.

Lol, Christianity is nothing but a hypocritic religion where people only pretend to be what they are not or pretend to be what's impossible for them to be.

If i am an arrogant person and realise that this trait has not been helpful in terms of my relationship with others, I may decide to suppress it and make conscious effort to be less arrogant to people around me. and rather than going around telling people I have changed, I will just observe myself and correct myself whenever I am wrong.
but Christians will claim they have changed overnight just because they believe in some Jewish dead man. Then they expect their lifestyle to change like magic, after all, they God has wiped away their sins and they are new creatures, they wait for their sky daddy to change them making them different while they put little effort to change.
but they still fall short and find themselves doing those things they denied, but then, they have the devil to blame, so it's not their fault. They can sin as long as they want, Devil and God can take the blame. This makes them worse than they were even before confessing their sins.

spacetacular:
Why do your comments always reflect your complexes.

Off point

felixomor:
Chai!!!
No wonder they said you have no brain!

Check my previous comments when I said he was low on self esteem.

lol @ low self esteem? is this what you tell yourself? You wish.

This road side first aid administrator, ranting like a crazy dog.

A doctor who believes God did it. Why did u waste ur time studying medicine when you have a God who has all the answers?
God has shown you that your life would have been a mess if he had given your father more years. God has revealed to u that it was right for him to kill off your poor dad leaving a young girl like u fatherless so that u can grow up to administer first aid treatment to accident victims.
People who have father can't be doctors or paramedics.
Why waste years studying when God could have revealed everything to u the way he told you why he killed ur dad?

bomsilaga:
This got me thinking.
God created man in himself (male and female) and breathed man into the dust He had formed and man became a living soul.
Then God took an item from the man in which the female man was in also and created the woman.
Now the question is; would our method of copulation and reproduction not have been in another way(more spiritual than physical) if man didn't fall?

Really how old are u? Grow up man, and stop believing in childish ridiculous fairy tales

spacetacular:
Yet God used this one man in a land people like you assume is becoming irreligious to grow 250 people into over 12000 in less than 15yrs.

I want to be like that kind of man who can make things work regardless of what people think.

U want to be like him and u wasted years studying general surgery plus paramedic. To become a pastor or native doctor will take u less than 3weeks. Infact, it onl takes you waking up one morning and feeling your are being called by Yaweh or Amadioha

adepeter26:
I know yà problem.
You lack sense

Oyah take

And she calls herself a doctor... Why do I have a feeling Felixomor is at it again.

A least he is the wanna be doctor in the house.

How can she be a doctor in the UK and think like a fuxking Nigerian Christian? Nah... Felixomor, I hailooooo

felixomor:
Inferiority complex is killing you.
You dont know

Unfortunately, she is not liking your posts as much as u are liking hers

spacetacular:
It should be, "Do all English speaking people I encounter "speak" perfect English"? Not what you typed up there.

Choose class and not crass

Madam English paramedic general surgeon... Yet u are full of shit.
Praise God, he has killed Ur dad to enable you come to almighty UK. Now everything is perfect

lepasharon:
This!

She is very myopic.Even English ppl who are custodians of the language don't speak it perfectttly. They talk in colloquial. Does that make them less english?

It's her usual crap

She has resigned to be a slave forever. She thinks she is in the almighty UK, therefore English is the only language that exists. She now has a perfect life. She not only worships a foreign God, she now thinks English is superior to her native language.
Now I understand why she is glad her poor dad died for her to go to the greatest land that ever existed.
I speak enough English for anyone to read and understand. Oyibo should even pay me for speaking their language, now it's time for them to learn mine or...

spacetacular:
Oh I do say! You see " trash" is easily identifiable via it's stench. Likewise a well seasoned wholesome meal is also identified via it's aroma.

Stench and aroma are both expressive yet distinct.

U are such an arrogant lady. U think because u are in the UK English is the only language that exists.

I am igbo, I only speak English which is not my mother tongue because of the need to communicate. I musnt be perfect.

It will be completely foolish of me to mock u because you try speaking Igbo and got some words wrong. Should I say u are uneducated becasue u can't speak Igbo?
Abeg park well. We know the game u are playing. When u are held to the wall with no where to go, u bring in the English thingy, a facking foreign language that is not ours, to distract us from the topic at hand.

Accept it. It's wrong for you to be glad your father died for any reason as long as the man didn't have any bad intention for u while he was alive.

spacetacular:
These were my exact words, "Strange as it may sound but I am ever so glad my dad died WHEN he did regardless of how he did. If he did not then I would not have come here when I did and I would not have gone through all I did and ended up here based on decisions triggered by some of my experiences"

My statement was by no means celebratory but was simply an acknowledgement of TIMING. Kindly read comments with a pinch of understanding.

Your father's death was a sad event that happened in ur life. His death should never be appreciated because of the time you left for UK. If he was alive, life for you now could have been worst or better. Stop assuming you know all possible outcomes that would have occurred in ur life just because u now believe in a Jewish fairy tale.
It's absolutely disrespectful to your dad for you to be glad he died at the time he died so that you could go to UK.
Thinking so makes u no different from people who kill their parents to have a better life either by rituals or selling off their properties.
Let me ask you, given what u know now, would u kill your dad so that u can go to the uk if the past could repeat itself? If your answer is no then u should never be glad he died at the time he died.
But u might not know it, Ur statement above already implies your answer is an affirmative yes, either u or ur God could have killed Ur dad over again so that u can go to the uk.
Tufiakwa

hopefulLandlord:
Christians and her praise singers really need to think deep on this

Imagine, she is happy she lost her father at a young age because she eventually became a common paramedic.

I can gladly lost half of what I have acheived back just to have my mum or my late ex back to life.

But what do u expect from deluded Yahweh worshippers?

lepasharon:
Shes telling us the almighty god couldnt find a better way to make her succeed in life but had to kill off her father

And to think such nonsense cane from a doctor? I think she is crazy

spacetacular:
Well I am sorry if you got my message wrong and could only deduce all you wrote above albeit how limited it was.

Strange as it may sound but I am ever so glad my dad died when he did regardless of how he did. If he did not then I would not have come here when I did and I would not have gone through all I did and ended up here based on decisions triggered by some of my experiences.

@bold is my problem with Christianity. It makes them see life and it's possibilities from only one point of view. Have u ever considered that u would have been more successful than u are if your dad was alive?

So now your God caused your father to die so that u can become just an unknown doctor and not US president or a semi Goddess?

I still think despite ur success, u are confused.

bennyann:
Na so. As long as ductor dey for the conductor it's OK. It sound like doctor.

Go and read it jor

Frank317, where are you o

I am here babes. Nice success story she got up there. It's all nothing but life struggle where the determined and relentless have a higher probability of coming out with a success story.
I fail to see what God did for her. I see her mindset, determination based on her experience and losses. It's quite understandable. Anyone can be like her oven the same circumstance. It's ur desire and not any nonsense Of.

However I still have issues with her. If she wanted to help other while being a Christian, why medicine or surgery? Why not a spiritualist or pastor where God can work aboslute miracles like TB Joshua? Why study a systematic process and deny it by believing in spiritual God magic?
I hope in all her success and good intentions, her confusion does not get the best of her.


Meanwhile, congrats.

I have had a personal relationship with God, I have encounter God, on many occasions, I have dreams and this dreams have come to past.

I dream, an atheist will renounced atheism, I told pleatt-on, maby it him, but I never told him it was a dream. here, today, you, an atheist renounced atheism.

U just made a huge mockery of this ur God. U just talked about yourself and Ur wish and u say it's God talking to u.
Can u please ask God when u are going to die? It's time Ur God stops telling irrelevant things.
