I see you running from my questions (notice it's in plural)

*unfollows thread

aManFromMars: You don't even know what intelligence means going by your questions.

We are not discussing intelligence, I won't google for you what it means, obviously you have a weird definition for intellligence...however...Just answer the question, if you can't, pls roll over...I'd understand, trust me bro, I know that feeling

jayriginal: Are you asking as an acknowledgement that your question about the monkeys was wrong?

Twas you folks who said we evolved from monkey..I now asked, if we actually did, we do we still have monkeys today? You now goofed and said we and monkeys have a Common ancestor..I now asked who is their common ancestor? And you can't seem to have the faintest idea...hence I'm concluding you and other atheist are wrong..very very

aManFromMars: Go and stop spreading your fallacies, Liars, god loves sinners.. Lol

I see you can't answer the below question..I know that feeling bro I know that feeling....

Answer this first, since you CLAIM to not believe God exist and lives...
" who's to blame for homosexuality? God big bang theory/
evolution/monkeys or the homos? "

aManFromMars: No you didn't. You just brought up random verses that were meaningless. None of those verses show that God loves sinners. The verses I posted earlier show clearly that God hates sinners and abhors their evil ways.

PS: to do something for someone is not to love them. God's love shines on those who do his will and obey his words .... like I said earlier, Christians should stop lying on God's behalf.

You actually know God does exist and lives...you just wanna argue..I'm done here...BTW God's love shine on all, saved n unsaved John 3v16

aManFromMars: Oh, I do...


And I'm happy you're as reluctant as your partner up there to set issues straight. Anyways, I can safely conclude that you blame the one who commits the act and not God.


By this, I can infer that you believe homosexuality to be a conscious decision.


My question is: can you be gay? For a day only? For a month?

Answer this first, since you CLAIM to not believe God exist and lives...

" who's to blame for homosexuality? God big bang/evolution/monkeys or the homos? "

aManFromMars: So who's to blame for homosexuality? God or the homos?

Who do you blame for lying, God or the Liar?
Who do you blame for stealing, God or the Thief?
Who do you blame for killing, God or the killer?
Who do you blame for envy, God or the envious?
Who do you blame for cheating, God or the Cheat?
Who do you blame for idolatry, God or the idolatrous?


Dude, you got no point.


Come to think of it, you don't believe in God, lemme ask you, same you asked

"So who's to blame for homosexuality? God big bang/evolution/monkeys or the homos? "

aManFromMars: Please, how do those verses support 'love the sinner, hate the sin" show me pls...

Na wa for you o...you said God hate sinners, I just showed you he doesn't...now you bringing up another totally different thing

ledafaze: Nice one... Noted... But don't you think we can renounce Christ by our deeds?

NO!

We have to do that with our Mouth...

Grace To Help! · Wednesday, September 18th ·

Pastor Anita

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

Notice that our opening verse didn’t say "ask God for mercy," but to "obtain" or "collect" mercy. Do you need mercy in your life? Don’t pray, "O God, have mercy on me!" That won’t work because He already had mercy on the whole world when He sent Jesus. Jesus was the extended mercy of God. Now, you’re to come boldly to the throne of grace and "collect" it.

The next part says, "…and find grace to help in time of need." You have to determine which grace you need, because there are different "graces." Is it the grace for healing, or the grace for multiplication? Is it the grace for winning souls? Which grace do you want? You could even get more grace for your business and for your finances. James 4:6 says, "…he giveth more grace...." It’s God’s desire to increase the grace on your life every time. 2 Peter 1:2 tells us how His grace is multiplied in your life: it’s through the Word—the knowledge of God, and of Jesus, our Lord.

Paul, writing to Timothy, said: "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 2:1). In other words, "take advantage of the grace that is in Christ Jesus." You can take advantage of that grace even now, and rebuke cancer from your body. You can take advantage of it and walk out of any predicament. John 1:16 says, "And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace." We’ve all received of His overflowing grace; that grace, working in you, is the power of promotion and unending success.

The Holy Spirit, who Himself is the Spirit of grace, lives in you. He has all the grace you need for an extraordinary life of excellence, victory, and dominion; take advantage of His grace and reign as a king in life.

Prayer
  Dear Father, I’m grateful for your grace that’s multiplied daily in my life, causing your blessings, beauty, perfections and excellence to be revealed in and through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

[quote author=Bélla3]Again my question is dodged![/quote]
Go back to my answer, settle down, be calm and read it all over again..you'd see your answer n more is there

aManFromMars: God never asked any Christian to love the sinner and hate the sin. God hates sinners and hates their sun. Keep lying on his behalf.

You can lie sha..

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." —
Romans 5:8

Luke 19:10 reads, "For the Son of man is come to seek
and to save that which was lost."

2nd peter 3:9,
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to
us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance."

And so on..you dnt have to lie to push your points na

[quote author=Bélla3]You missed the most important part of my question.
Can/should homosexuals be allowed to practice their homosexuality? Or do they have to follow your way simply because you belief its a sin.[/quote]In Christianity, we are not allowed to practice such. I don't know about other religion/atheism, but in Christianity, it is an abomination. But however, if they (homosexuals) claim to be Christians,muslims,atheists, pagans, Buddhist, etc we have no choice but to love them, n pray for them, because we know they err. They don't have to believe in Christianity to know homosexuality is wrong...have you ever seen homosexual animals? Eg a cock chasing a cock, or a ram courting a ram instead of sheep?

[quote author=Bélla3]lmao.
Op so whats your point? That christians should be against homosexuality at thesame time love homosexuals while forcing their beliefs down others throat?
Pls clerify.[/quote]What the OP is saying is

LOVE the SINNER (because Christ instructed us to love everybody as he had loved us-we love not with our measure, but His) but NOT the SIN (because the bible tells us to flee from/reject sin.

Now sweetheart, hope you know that there can be SIN without a SINNER, but NO SINNER without a SIN, conclusively, we just proved we can separate the man from the sin.

Homosexuals are sinners with a sin (homosexuality)...we love the homosexual (the man), but not homosexuality (the sin).

If you still don't get it, we'll have to wait for Jesus' return.

Oga ledafaze...you don't loose your salvation irrespective of what you do/did/keep doing after you are born again.

The only way you loose your salvation is same way you got it..tru words. If you renounce Christ with your mouth, just same way to accepted his lordship...that way, you are out of Christ and can't ever come back Heb 6V3-4

Like pa Hagin said relationship is intact tho we sin, but fellowship is severed, n without fellowship, I dnt need to telll you what happens to our spirit, do I?. Sha open another thread and invite me if you wanna discuss this further

aManFromMars: Why does this bite you so much? Are you scared or bothered you might be gay? After all, you claim a man lives in you and you love Him.

Did/Does the man whom I love, who is also living in me have/had sex with me?

jayriginal: ^^
Intelligence is not in knowing everything or having vast knowledge. Intelligence is practical and demonstrable.

Your question about monkeys is off because humans are not said to have evolved from monkeys, they are said to have had a common ancestor.

Who is their common ancestor?

aManFromMars: Some atheists were former Christians.. was Ola a former atheist too like Anony?


HEHE, another evidence that atheism correlates with intelligence?

If atheism correlates with intelligence, explain theses

Who created n designed the DNA? I wanna
know what atheist have to say about the uniqueness
of the DNA. How such data was coded and stored

And about evolution, you folks can't answer poo abt
that...if man evolved from monkeys, why then do we
still have monkeys?


Your time starts now....I cn wait till 2080 tho

Logicboy wants us banned for discussing atheism? Bwahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahhah

The "Imitation" Of Christ · Tuesday, September 17th ·

Pastor Chris

THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father] (Ephesians 5:1 AMP).


There’re those who define Christianity as the imitation of Christ; this isn’t quite accurate. Christianity is the revelation of Christ in you. For example, a house has a kitchen, but the kitchen isn’t the house. In Christianity, there’s the imitation of Christ; but Christianity, essentially, isn’t the imitation of Christ.

Many people have never really understood true Christianity; hence, they tell everyone to imitate Christ. However, the message to imitate Christ isn’t for everyone, but for those in whom is the life and nature of God. You couldn’t imitate Christ except you have His life in you. How really are we supposed to imitate Christ? Are we supposed to go to the Cross and die as He did? Did He say that everything He did, we must do? Are we to go to the wilderness and fast for forty days and forty nights, as He did? Is it by copying His mannerisms, dressing, tone of voice etc.? Certainly not; but, we can study about Him in the Word; we can see Him in the Word and follow His examples.

1 Peter 2:21-23, lets us know some of the areas we can imitate Him. It says, "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously." We’re to emulate His life of righteousness, wholesome communication, nature of forgiveness, kindness, humility, and love.

The summation of His character is love; we’re to therefore emulate Him by walking in love. Ephesians 5: 2 AMP admonishes us to "… walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance." 1 John 4:7-8 says, "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."

Prayer 
Dear Father, I thank you for filling my heart with the revelation of your Word, and the wisdom to do your will. As I apply my heart to your Word, Christ is formed in me, and His character of love and nature of righteousness are revealed through me day by day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Kay 17: That intelligent mind that thought it all up and built it, how sophisticated wld such a mind be?! And do you think that mind suddenly appeared?!

THINK!

Ok, you now believe God exist but you wanna knw who created him?

Ans: He's the beginning and the end...he wasn't created

So, now who created n designed the DNA? I wanna know what atheist have to say about the uniqueness of the DNA. How such data was coded and stored

About evolution, you folks can't answer shii abt that...if man evolved from monkeys, why then do we still have monkeys?

Still waiting for my answers


*thinking out loud
Coded information is always the product of
an intelligent mind: At the centre of every
biological organism is a vast amount of
encoded information called DNA
(approximately the equivalent of 1.5 gig of
digital information in one DNA strand). Nothing
lives without that information and things go
terribly wrong when that information is
damaged. When we consider the full extent of
human knowledge, the only process that we
have ever observed in which vast amounts of
encoded information are assembled and
stored is through the agency of living minds.
Therefore, to assert that DNA is Mother
Nature’s fortunate little accidental child is laughable. The nature of the DNA is always and without
exception the product of an intelligent mind.

*thinking out loud

Atheist pls, can you all explain the DNA? How it came about? Who stored those data in them? Big bang theory, evolution or wharreva method you cn conjure cnt explain it

Thanks Ola...now over to atheists...Let's talk about Creation of the universe and all in it. You folks have funny theories just to make sure God wasn't the creator.

1.Evolution

If evolution were correct, and humans evolved from
monkeys, then why are monkeys still around today?
(Waiting for this answer who created d monkey sef? Why do you folks believe something/everything came from nothing?)

Even
Charles Darwin himself admitted that he regretted
sparking the lie of evolution. Atheists, however, still do
not want to admit it is wrong as the only other
explanation would be God.

2. Big Bang Theory
why do y'all atheist believe in the Big Bang theory sef? The big bang theory is impossible
.Something cannot come from nothing (except God, why? Because he is supreme being, the alpha and omega, he is the BEGINNING and the END). It is a scientific
impossibility (since you folk don't believe in God, science can't support your claims of something coming outta nothing). The idea that one second there wasn't
anything then another second there was, is frankly offensive to one's
intelligence.

Christians know God made the Earth and sun and stars.
Then he put the people and animals and plants here. You
can see it in the intelligent design of foods such as
bananas and kiwis. They are made to be eaten easily by
humans. If that isn't enough scientific proof for you
then you must be blind.

3. If God didn't create the Earth, why does everything
work so well?

It can't be coincidence that we have air to breath,
water to drink, and churches to pray in. God intended it
that way.

The fact that every ecosystem in the world acts in
accordance with itself and survives is proof of an
intelligent design. If it all just happened, as evolution
and the big bang seem to suggest, there would be chaos
everywhere, No? Instead, the more we delve into scientific
fields, we find order. Order that can only be provided
by a benevolent creator.

3. On what is conscience and morals based on?

4. Don't you think of all creation, man is distinct? Why is he special? Why does he matter? Why no whales or lions or baboons?

Can you explain how comes...

Lemme get answers to these first...I'm just getting warmed up

*Standing ovation

Round of Applause

OP, you got it spot on..

Any atheist wanna answer few simple questions I have? Pls signify by quoting me. Thanks

Read this news like 3months ago na

sunny3kng: I post Rhapsody Of Realities daily in the Religion Section.

Dats awesome

Bidam: You should have ignored him. CRITICS makes us wax stronger.The beauty of the christian faith my bro..

Very true...very very true

Yeahmee: its a win-win-win situation here. the gospel is preached, pastor gets more popular and pastor is 3 billion naira richer.
simple math, 30 million naira x 100 naira profit = 3 billion naira.
why cant pastor donate the entire 30 million, i thot i heard hes a giver?
folks please wake up from the hypnosis, distribute d bible instead of rhapsody, thats a better investment

But we distribute bibles free too, if you doubt, ask Google

Now look at this analogy, if you use N20 to print 10exercise books and you distribute these books for FREE, did make make profit? OR did you intend to make profit or show love?

From your math, a copy is N150. 30 million free copies is N4.5 Billion. Now you saying he shd donate the entire 30million naira? He's giving out N4.5 billion FREE (in the devotional alone o, we've not talked about the other developmental projects)

Quit hating bro

Rule Over Circumstances! · Monday, September 16th
·
Pastor Chris

…And this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith (1 John 5:4).

The Lord Jesus, while He walked this earth, lived such an exemplary life of faith. His confidence and apparent mastery over life’s circumstances is aweinspiring. He dazzled everyone by His extraordinary life of dominion. On a certain occasion, His disciples couldn’t help but ask out loud, in utter amazement: "…What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him" (Luke 8:25).

Luke 8:23-24 records for us the occasion that prompted
this question from the disciples: "But as they sailed he
fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the
lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying,
Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked
the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased,
and there was a calm." Observe closely what the Master
did: He rebuked the wind and the raging waves; that
means He spoke words. He actually said, "…peace, be
still" (Mark 4:39), and there was a great calm.

This gives us an insight into how He prevailed over circumstances. He ruled negative circumstances with
faith-filled words. He spoke words, and blind eyes opened up, maimed limbs were restored, and deaf ears were unstopped. He spoke and Lazarus, who was already dead and buried for four days, came back to life. He did all these to show that we can do the same; for as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

No wonder He said in John 14:12, "Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do
shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he
do…." Rise up today and proclaim victory over that unpleasant situation. Proclaim victory in your health, family, finances, business, academics, job, etc. Declare that greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. Rule and frame your world with faith-filled words, and watch your life move from one degree of glory to another.

Confession
I know who I am. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! The world is mine, because I’m a joint-heir with Christ. Greater is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world. I live the life of excellence, victory, and dominion over Satan; I reign triumphantly in all circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

aManFromMars: dear god...

I know that feeling bro

aManFromMars: Why would a God have 'plans' if he's timeless? Aren't plans for those who have a concept of past and future?

plan (pl n)
n.

1. To formulate a scheme or program for the
accomplishment, enactment, or attainment of: plan a
campaign.

2. To have as a specific aim or purpose; intend: They
plan to buy a house.

3. To draw or make a graphic representation of.

v.intr.
To make plans.
[French, alteration (influenced by plan, flat surface)
of plant , ground plan, map, from planter , to plant,
from Latin plant re, fromplanta, sole of the
foot; see plat- in Indo-European roots.]


Its common for any thing sensible to have the above bold if they wanna achieve a desired goal, no?

Meanwhile, planning is for the future, not the past. The above definition didn't have anything to do with time/timing...but purpose. Same with you, when you plan, its atimes irrespective to timing but has everything to do with achieving a purpose/desired goal
