Dbegining:Thank you for clarifying that verse to that Antichristian2 guy. He uses his warped thinking of his Quran to interpret the Bible. He thinks everyone is like Mohammed, and so whenever women are mentioned, it must be all about sex. The virgins separated for God were helpers who'll help in the service of the temple. Drawing water, cleaning, etc. The women that were given to men were mere slaves. There's a law for marrying your slave if you like her. That a woman was given to you as war booty does not mean you can now start having sex with her. For example: Deuteronomy 21:10-14 says: "When you go out to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands, and you take captives, if you see among them a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home, where she will shave her head, trim her nails, and discard her captive's garb. She'll live in your home for a month, mourning her parents. Only then may you marry her ." That Antichristian2 fellow is indeed anti truth. You can't be antichristian without loving lies. |
orisa37:Foolish and thinking themselves to be the wisest. |
YoungestPapa:Every curvature has a plain portion before it reaches its curved sections. Depending on the size of the rounded object, the distance through a plain could be very long. And when we're talking about flying objects such as a plane, we cannot be talking of curvatures in the air except the sky is curved. It's the earth that's curved, not the atmosphere around the earth. 2. On the sea shore, why do we see ships with a binoculars after they disappear from our eyes, and after they disappear from a binoculars we can see them with a telescope?They didn't disapper because they didn't descend into a slope. You can see them with a telescope up to a certain distance before they descend through the Earth's slopes. The telescope can't see from one end of the earth to the other. If it were so, then your theory would have been true. 3. Why does the earth look totally flat in videos of individuals who have sent balloons high up as against the curvature we see when NASA posts their videos.The videos from the balloons don't capture the entire earth and its surroundings. NASA's videos capture the full earth not just some sections of it. 4. If the sun is 93 million miles away from the earth, how is Nigeria so hot and at same time the USA 3,000-4,000 miles away is in winter?The earth is 93 million miles away from the Sun, not Nigeria or USA being 93 miles away from the sun. The distance of countries to each other wouldn't matter because the sun is all encompassing as far as its relationship with the earth is concerned. For example, if you place a heat emitting soccer ball over a group of ants who are somewhat distant from each other, they'll all experience the same heat temperature because they're still all directly under the ball anyway. Also note that the earth undergoes constant position changing due to rotation and revolvement. If the earth were flat as you opined, we should all experience the same weather and sunshine conditions at the same time, but the reverse is the case. 5. Why have all individual experiments (since the Bedford experiment in the 1800's) to measure the curvature of the earth all shown that there is no curvature?The Bedford experiment, performed by Samuel Rowbotham in 1838, was an attempt to measure the curvature of the Earth. However, the experiment had several methodological flaws and has been widely debunked by the scientific community. Regarding the claim that individual experiments have shown no curvature, it's crucial to consider the following: 1. Experimental limitations: Many experiments, especially those conducted in the 19th century, had limitations in terms of precision, instrumentation, and methodology. 2. Confirmation bias: Some experiments may have been designed or interpreted with a preconceived notion, leading to biased results. 3. Lack of peer review: Not all experiments are subject to rigorous peer review, which is essential for ensuring the quality and validity of scientific research. In contrast, overwhelming evidence from various fields of science, including: - Satellite imagery: High-resolution images of the Earth from space clearly show its spherical shape. - Ships disappearing over the horizon: As a ship sails away, it will eventually disappear from view as it sinks below the horizon due to the Earth's curvature. - Circumnavigation: Many people have traveled around the world, completing circumnavigations that would be impossible if the Earth were flat. - Gravity: The force of gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, which is only possible if the Earth is a sphere or an oblate spheroid. The sea is glued as a result. The butterfly flies because it applies a counter force against gravity to move in the opposite direction of the gravitational pull. Water would likewise move up if it's so forced up. Example, when you scoop water from a bowl, the water is indirectly flying up even if you have scooped it from the ocean. - Measurements of the Earth's shadow: During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The shape of this shadow is curved, indicating that the Earth is a sphere. These lines of evidence, along with many others, conclusively demonstrate that the Earth is not flat, but rather an oblate spheroid. |
MaxInDHouse:Comprehensively and truthfully! |
achorladey:He was even lying that he doesn't read such comments. |
MaxInDHouse:He answered the question and also made a refrence to you. You're still lying that you didn't read the comment. Na wa for you. |
MaxInDHouse:Tell my why it's not an answer. I'll like to know how it deraled from the question. |
MaxInDHouse:So, you didn't see Gabrielshow24's answer? |
Gabrielshow24:You nailed it square and square. |
Ogurube:What exactly is bad about Tinubu's government that you want Adeboye to criticize? Only people with selfish political interest, and children who know nothing about nation building criticize Tinubu's government. For any matured mind, Tinubu's government is the best so far in the history of Nigeria. If you want to rebuild a country, there must first be pains before the gains come. Nigeria was once a very hopeless state but now with the policies and government activities in place, the nation has a bright future. You don't measure government performance by the market prices of goods but by good economic actions that could bring in future gains. |
BlackfireX:Please would you grant me a verifiable reference for the bolded? |
Senator Ike Ekweremadu Some years ago, the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) special project team approached the Deputy Senate President (Ike Ekweremmadu) to help them fast-track the funding for a project in the hospital through a government intervention project. He asked them to submit their proposal and they did. It was N400million for Renal Centre. The N400m was to build the structure, procure equipment and train few doctors abroad for "Renal transplant" and other special "Renal emergency training". Senator Ike Ekeremmadu asked them to double the money to N800m. The extra N400m will be for him to facilitate the release of the funds. Senator Ike Ekeremmadu later facilitated the release of 50% of the fund and diverted all of it even without the knowledge of UNTH. After waiting for so long, UNTH made contact and was told they should submit the progress report for the project status in order to access the balance 50%. Alas, they had nothing to show for the initial 50% and didn't even know that Oga Deputy Senate President had taken N400m and moved on. On May 5th year 2023, Senator Ike Ekeremmadu will receive his jail sentence for trying to do a kidney transplant in the UK for his daughter whose kidney is failing. Senator Ike Ekeremmadu pocketed N400m meant for building a Kidney Centre in his state where most probably his daughter would have received a transplant without flying abroad and facing the stringent laws guiding organ transplant in the UK. He would not have needed to tell lies after lies to bring David Nwammini to the UK which finally got him and his wife behind the foreign prison! Copied from Chuma. Personal Notes: This is a true demonstration of karma. Our politicians are wicked. They will all pay dearly for the evils they do against Nigerians. Who says there's no judgement?

Kobojunkie:1. You should tell us how a soul dies. The Bible called eternal separation from God a second death. 2. Eternal separating from God is visible even from Genesis. God told them, if you eat this fruit, you'll die. The death was not physical but spiritual. A separation from God. 3. Those men are like any other man. Their names were not mentioned separately. Jesus on my used a common phrase "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" to illustrate a point. |
Kobojunkie:I wasn't the one who said that. Everyone who lived before Adam and after Adam have a life beyond the grave. |
Kobojunkie:When they ask you "Where's your house?" What do you answer in real life? You'll point it out if it's within sight even though it was rented. |
Kobojunkie:1. In all references to the scripture that says "the soul that sinneth shall die" I always add "eternal separation from God". Physical death is eternal separation from the body. Spiritual death is eternal separation from God. The Bible calls it the second death. 2. Jesus was talking generally about the afterlife. After rebuking those who said there's no resurrection, He cited the example of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as proof that there's life beyond the grave. The very matter they were arguing was whether there's life after death or not. Then Jesus said, in the resurrection, people don't marry or give birth..... Please read the quoted verses again. 2. What is the difference between all other men and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? |
Kobojunkie:Since you don't seem to even believe the Bible, I'll let you know that the Lord Jesus said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living." (Matthew 22:29-32, NASB) The bodies of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are dead and buried here but they still live yonder. Life beyond the grave. |
Kobojunkie:By Man's Spirit, I meant the spirit indwelling man. I wasn't talking in terms of possession. If you're living in a rented house, calling the house your house does not mean you're the landlord. It only means you dwell there. |
sonmvayina:We're on your assertion that soul = body + spirit. Now, answer the question, if soul = body plus spirit, what is meant by the verse "...the soul that sinneth shall die"? The man is spirit plus soul plus body |
sonmvayina:There's a spiritual body my friend. The spiritual body is the soul and not the breathe that returns to God. This is the soul that the Bible says shall.die. It shall be eternally separated from God. |
sonmvayina:Please answer the two questions o asked you. |
sonmvayina:My friend,you created the question by your assertion. If you can't answer the question, then, it means you actually don't even know what you're talking about. |
sonmvayina:You can't even prove what you're saying. So, you're the one who was deceived because I am a living proof of the power of the Gospel. |
sonmvayina:The body is made of clay. The soul that sinneth shall.die. Why can't you answer the question of the soul.dying if it is the breathe of God plus the body. The soul is man's celestial.body. Death is a transition and not a termination. |
sonmvayina:My friend, I hope you know that man lives on beyond the grave. He has a body beyond the grave. That body is the soul. |
Kobojunkie:I don't know where you read that I said the spirit belongs to man. Please point that out first before we continue. |
sonmvayina:If soul is God's spirit plus body, how's spirit = soul then? |
sonmvayina:You don't even know the Gospel let alone knowing any character there. How can you talk about Mary? Have you.met her before? If you cannot prove the Gospel, you cannot talk the Gospel or any of its characters to those who can prove it. No, the Gospel was not written by the Catholic Church. The Gospel predates the Catholic Church. |
