Right.....but I don't think technology has gotten to its peak just yet...I think all this are the foundations of what is yet to come.

Like what? technology you see in movies are mostly not possible, like the light saber from star wars.

A time machine and a teleportation device

Well if you understand the theory or relativity you'll understand that's impossible, nothing can travel faster than light not to talk of humans that have weight and occupy space.

Try to find out why humans are not yet traveling at the speed of sound even now that it's possible, by the way teleportation just means a faster way to travel, so nothing new.

Kobojunkie:
Oh, you misunderstand.

In order to get Him to answer me, I first had to submit to, and Trust Him. That is the only way to God, and I tried every other way possible.

I even tried the popular Christian way of "confessing and accepting" , but that didn't work. By this point, the situation with my health had become desperate and I no longer had nothing to loose, so I took decided to try the one method I had not explored before, still unsure if anything would happen.

After it happened, I ran right back to my doctirs, tried to convince them that i needed an MRI done of my brain.

Be sure He did not call anyone to be a "Christian" in the sense that you know it. He calls them to trust and obey Him only, something most "Christians" never do.

The two bolded are a contradiction, when you confess and accept, you're already submitting your self.

Any way I'm glad you're ok now, too bad your God let all those little children die of malaria because they never knew the requirements to qualify for miracles.

Yes I do see such in first class countries. Graduates selling bread, driving a cab, going back to school to learn to be a nurse and so on and so on. My job after graduating in engineering was as a restaurant manager, though you might argue the first class country bit.

. Are you seriously comparing a first class country with a third world country.

budaatum:
I think you are trying to trick or deceive me.

My own opinion is that a better life includes earning an income, and to be honest with you, they should teach its making as part of a degree course, or smart people should find a place to learn how to earn an income. There are courses in entrepreneurship after all.

As for "no more foreign expatriate, no more travelling overseas for medication", I plead the Serenity Prayer and the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amendment.

@bolded, I hope you know Nigeria is a third world country yet very religious.

Kobojunkie:
because His Spirit now lives inside of me means I could not have ever been an atheist?

So you asked why and then his spirit began living inside you, make up your mind already.

It turns out all you need to do to be a Christian is ask why.

Kobojunkie:
I don't know

I didn't talk to Him just the once though. His Spirit lives inside of His own guiding, directing, teaching, counseling and responding to their every needs throughout the day

He is definitely real

If his spirit lives inside you, then you were never an atheist, as atheist don't have spirit living inside them.

@bolded, I'm guessing this where you asked why.

budaatum:
How should it be? Work no be work? I thought the point you were making was the system does not need them which is why they can't find someone to pay them to work!

They could consider selling dundun or dodo if they can't sell akara. Money na money after all, and work is whatever one does to get it.

They went to school just to sell Akara, do you see such in first class countries.

budaatum:
No one said life was easy, and not being responsible for food on one's table is a recipe for starvation.

If the purpose of education is for financial gain, then we all should be studying how to make money 101, Theory of becoming rich 227 in the university.

The purpose of education is not money, or food but to establish a better life in Nigeria, in the whole world, no more foreign expatriate, no more travelling overseas for medication.

budaatum:
I do not agree that "those that study medicine will never have an opportunity as everyone runs outside for treatment", or that "lawyers are silenced and must dance to corruption", or that "engineers all turned to part assemblers", or that a "structural engineering graduate just wasted his life in school", nor does the evidence agree with you. I am absolutely certain you know all those you mention can make themselves so valuable (entrepreneurial, I should say), that someone would beg to pay them.

In the scheme of things, graduating from university merely qualifies you for an apprenticeship which takes longer than spent getting a degree. Perhaps they should widen their horizon by studying more, or not limit themselves to what they studied in school and working in Nigeria and instead run outside for a job. But if they can't find someone to pay them they can always set up privately, selling akara for instance. They'd likely be better at it than an uneducated person and could become NSE listed Akara Plc Nig Ltd.

No one said life was easy, and not being responsible for food on one's table is a recipe for starvation.

You expect someone who studied Structural Engineering to start selling Akara, that's not how it should be.

Listen well, their are entrepreneurs and then their are those who must be part of the system for things to work.

� Mail delivered by rockets?

See what I'm talking about, now we have the internet, what can be better than the internet.

They send the mail directly to your brain, I don't think so.

kingxsamz:
Lol, that's probably what people of the 1940s used to think.

not really, there was a lot of things to explore as of 1900 now things are just stiff nothing new.

For the past 20 years no new technology, just faster versions of what is already there.

kingxsamz:
Lol... Even we don't know what might be in 60 years time.
We might even think and look back and laugh about how we used smartphones and flat screen tvs and thought they were the best technology.
Kids of those times would definitely laugh.

Tbh nothing much, just look at mars, it in our solar system but we still haven't travel there yet, even the moon traveled were fake, so don't expected any fly car, that's a bad idea even, teleportation transportation, it's impossible.

We've reach the peak.

Kobojunkie:
You are free to conclude as you choose, yes!

Ok you talked to a God but for some reason you can't say anything about it, hmmm, why do I smell lies.

xamuell:
maybe he wasn't really an atheist? Maybe. Repenting for the sake of Angelic celebration? Probably not. That's if I get you correctly.

Missing the point.

Those that were not Christian before conversion are celebrated more and place on a higher stand, because they've had a taste of darkness and now have seen the light.

Islam convert to Christian you'll hear about it, this is so important to many religion that some even fake it, pay a certain person to convert then they broadcast it.

Kobojunkie:
Why - that is one of the questions I asked Him.

Now you're been defensive because your sanity is being question.

Don't worry I only request the questions you asked, this can easily tell me what you were looking for in life, your expectation of a God, and empathy.

Kobojunkie:
I am sure it i Him.

I admit i was not sure at first. Nothing of the sort had ever happened to me or anyone really close to me so i was the ultimate skeptic. But, I was willing to hope that the one who made me would do something or at least lead me where I would find answers in my situation.

I initially thought alien intelligence at first. I also went through a period where I was willing ti believe it was the Chinese who had somehow hacked my brain frequency, transmitting messages into my mind, and making me do and say things.

But as i learned more and more, i came to accept it was indeed God of the Bible and I didn't need to be paranoid.

Cool, what were the questions you asked, you don't need tell me the answer he gave.

2Lynx:
I think the now is far more advanced than they envisioned it to be then though.

This is why some people believe technology has gotten to it peak, now we can only get faster cars, faster plane, faster internet, but nothing new.

Seattle as imagined in 2014 — in the year 1914

Air balloons turned out to be a bloody disaster.

xamuell:
Thanks very much.

I'm not certain he was an Atheist though, all Christian like claiming repentant unbelievers because it is reward by Angels dancing in heaven, you get.

Kobojunkie:
Sharing what? My personal questions for God and The answers He gave me?

What I could share is the method I used in getting to Him.

Are sure it's God you spoke to.

rabzy:
Pls how did you come to such a strong conclusion and insult me on top

It's not like I didn't warn you.

Kobojunkie:
Yes

Mind sharing with the rest of the world.

budaatum:
Even first world countrys don't have jobs for everyone. There is work in Nigeria though, just that many would rather not do the work that is available.

No you're getting it wrong, some of us are entrepreneur hence independent, I'm talking of those that study medicine will never have an opportunity as everyone runs outside for treatment, lawyers are silenced and must dance to corruption, engineers all turned to part assemblers, those that are even lucky.

If structure will continuously be given to white and Chinese men, then a structural engineering graduate just wasted his life in school.

budaatum:
I am not priviledged. I just studied hard and learned, mostly without even parental assistance, and would call myself uneducated if my education cannot provide my daily bread. That after all, is the purpose of an education, to ensure I do not starve nor beg.

Do note that I am not of the opinion that npower means not studying. Sometimes, we do need assistance getting by. But we must aim to eventually stand on our own two feet instead of blaming others for our empty plates and bellys. And it starts from getting up and falling a few times until two feet standing is mastered.

I'm kinda disappointed with what you just said, you expect a 3rd world country to have jobs for everyone?

What I can say is, we should all give it our all.

Kobojunkie:
I had questions. I searched every where I could for answers but found only more questions. Then I decided to find the one who created all of it, including my person, believing He would surely have answers. I processed all information i could find on the subject and through process of elimination came upon the way to get to Him. And I did what it was He asked to do and He showed up, and here I am.

I want to get this right, you mean God showed up and answer all your questions.

rabzy:
This does not mean you are inspired...application of the scriptures is different from making an inspired expression

Well you should have guessed by now..am a witness. Just bantering with you. I have missed another 80 pages of discussion.

This is what you should expect "You're not a true Jehovah's witness"

BackllGodNaija:
Thought I said something like science is not the problem, man is. Science couldn't do anything without man. So science doesn't have to exist because man does. You claimed science did something, so how did it do it if it doesn't exist?

You're the one saying science doesn't exist, even though you're literally typing with a phone right now.

BackllGodNaija:
How do you know the bolded?

Even after I gave you the definition of science you're still asking me of science existing, that's like say electricity already exist it wasn't innovated, airplanes wasn't innovated.

Heathen777:
How would we be in the modern era without science?

I tire for am, He's not able to answer the question hence he throws it back, not realizing what he's trying to say is science doesn't exist.

Rozz:
hmm it's really deep,i wish grimmjoe will see the light

Trying too hard.

Science never claimed to create this.
