MuttleyLaff: The bible in Matthew 24:24 says: "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible."
shadeyinka, is not alone, he is in good company of the likes of petra1 joagbaje, who also famzings TB Joshua. One day monkey go go market, no go return back be TB Joshua own
MuttleyLaff: The best and only sensible comment so far on this thread. It made my day, brought a chuckle out of me and so deserved my liking it
i once saw a video on youtube titled "man turns to a tiger while being delivered by tb joshua" i rushed and opened the link and watched the whole video expecting to see him change but all he did was crawl on all fours and was roaring like a pussy. Same with useless stories of people turning to snake and the story would be backed up with a photoshoped picture. Geez... christians are gullible
IAmSabrina: Methinks you're looking for needles in a bundle of hay honestly. This thread ultimately fails if you want my honest opinion
You'll notice that people undergoing exorcisms often go into fits. But in the video you showed me, those fits do not resemble epileptic seizures; they resemble the kinds of seizures people have when they're faking a seizure, completely with arching their backs off the ground and other things that are not typical of "real" fits. SMDH
A practitioner of psychiatry or psychology would be able to explain well enough how mental illness might resemble demonic possession, particularly in susceptible individuals, and might even go on to talk about how potent the placebo effect is. Both of which would be good reasons to dismiss both demonic possession and exorcism in one fell swoop. My knowledge on psychiatry & psychology is not as sophisticated so you're talking to the wrong person.
Truth is, Shadeyinka, if you believe that demonic possession is real, you'll need to prove it by showing us demons exist. As for Jim's memory loss and "deliverance incident", i believe psychology majors could have an answer for you
. Would be more convincing if she had turned into a dog on camera and before everyone not pretending to be a dog. When such happens then i think we wld have something serious to discuss.
shadeyinka: First demonic manifestations is not a fit. Neither is it a seizure; for can a person under seizure speak? I see where you are going: if it's a kind of medical condition, it must by now have a name. Since you are fairly sure it doesn't seem to match what is known in the medical world, then it must be a faking.
However, our celebrity Jim Iyke wasn't faking it? Or was he?
I wish you know an atheist psychologist / psychiatrist who could go profile the techniques used by these churches and their mentally imbalanced sick actors willing to roll-on the ground for money.
For your information, some demonic manifestations during Deliverances are so calm and quiet: you may want to think it's a normal conversation between two people.
And then, you resort to "show us" rhetoric again: do spirits have bodies? Or, you want real demons to act Hollywood dramas of slamming doors and breaking glasses for you to know.
every video you posted lack supernaturality. These are just people acting out what they think demonic possession shld look and sound like. Why cant they do something extra ordinary besides making noise and shining their eyes like people taking a tuber up their asses
IamSabrina :I expect lots of questions from you. Shalom!
why didnt she turn to a dog? I have seen many tb Joshua's videos. Ib one, a man claimed to have changed into a tiger and in another a snake yet all i see are humans trying to behave like these animals and most times the acting is poor
jesusjnr: If your attempt was intended to whine me up, then you should stop henceforth, because you are probably the worst at the job, by the failed attempt.
So try and focus on those things you are good at, for you can see from my response to your post how whined up I was.
jesusjnr: Ironically I agree with you in the respect of the analogy, because for me it began fairly well, but ended in confusion.
Maybe op should have waited and be patient enough to get it right at the end, because the essence of the post in my opinion was defeated at the end, since the message was lost in the body of the post.
But sour grapes hardmirror, haba na? Does it still hurt you that much?
Good idea to only remembered my moniker correctly and forget hers , because guy, you know how far now from experience, say she no go hold back as myself, but na fire for fire things oh.
CAPSLOCKED: IT'S NOT JUST A STUPID ANALOGY. ONLY A MAD ADULT HUMAN WILL MAKE UP SOMETHING SO UNREASONABLE JUST TO BACK UP A DEITY THEY BELIEVE WITHOUT EVIDENCE FOR IT'S EXISTENCE. I HARDLY REPLY SUCH TOPICS CUS I FEEL LIKE A FOOL ENGAGING IN SUCH NONSENSE. BABIES CAN'T EVEN TALK WITH EACHOTHER IN REAL LIFE NOT TO TALK OF WHILE THEY IN THE WOMB. THE WHOLE THING WITH THIS STEADILY RIDICULED 1945 ANALOGY IS JUST POINTLESS.
Funny christians would read this and clap. Lol
This analogy is so off the point. 1. How did the other baby know all he knows? 2. Do unborn babies even talk. 3. If babies talk and this case is even true. Is it not easy for the babies to see the passage out of the womb? The exit is physical and evident. So easy to know there is something at the other side. 4. Which god are we even talking about? 5. If one baby knows about the mother, why wont the other baby?
Stcpid post for stcpid pipu like jesusjnr and michealbod abi wetin be her name
adoyi8: seriously i want to understand how its possible for heaven to lose a soul when it was written in Rev 17:8 that the name of the people going to heaven has already been written from the foundation of the world.
jesusjnr2 the fact you took offence at the questions this person asked you shows you are just a noise maker
Michellekabod1: Gone through the post the umpteenth time and yet to discover where Christianity or prayer was insulted,when you find one please do alert me... It could be my eyes are failing me...
obiekunie1: I have been trying to reach out to the slowpoke and he doesn't want to respond. this is how they end up wasting their opportunity.
if carbon dating proves these artifact are up to 500 years old the fool will be playing with at least some very good thousands of dollars excluding total purchase of that entire area and settling every one involved.
na wa o. The guy is almost sure to mess that whole site up. Excavation of such relics can be delicate. Na wa o. Hope he stops and does the right thing by contacting proper archaeologists
BruncleZuma: The 'rusts' on it is consistent with copper or bronze. You should definitely call out to an archeologist (legit ones) not an artifact thief.
yes. That greenish color is an oxide of copper only reason why am am taking this serious. That is evidence of it being a real relic
stop digging. The more you dig the more you damage the original set up or even damage the artifacts themselves. Let the experts take over the site and do a professional work. Only then can a full restoration be done and the findings be worthwhile
adoyi8: We watched him using emotional appeals on you: best atheist, i believe your story, hot cake etc. forgetting that freethinkers live in the head and not their hearts.
tell him bro. Funny these guys dont understand what it means to be a freethinker. Hann will his arse licking credit my account? . I know everything for hann na money.
adoyi8: him bin wan use you shine. dey tell everybody say him don convert 3 atheists. But y you come fall him hands na?
as i said he does not know me. If he knew me he would choose the devil before me. Na me he wan dey famz. Fvck him. I dont give a shiit about any dolt here
adoyi8: Since the beginning of this week we have all been watching you touching your toes for hardmirror begging him to put something hard in your a.ss. You called him hot cake and claimed that he was the reason holy spirit made you join nairaland.
see me see trouble. Which kind madness be this. You sure say this jesusjnr dey alright?
jesusjnr: jesusjnr threads and posts being the most senseless threads and posts that hardmirror had ever come across ever since he's been on nairaland could make some sense, right?
But when Michellekabod1, who became converted to atheism because of hardmirror, whose threads that used to be arguably the most sensible threads to hardmirror all the while she was an atheist, and all of a sudden she dumped atheism in the gutter where it truly deserves to be, and her threads now turn to nonsense in hardmirror's sight?
Is there anyone that is not hearing or even seeing how ridiculous hardmirror sounds or looks respectively in his own mirror?
Of course forgive me, as his mirror could only reflects lies and perversions of the truth, hence it would never be able to tell him the truth about himself. For unless he finds a true mirror that would reflect the truth of himself to him, he would keep living in his highly esteemed delusions.
For this was the same hardmirror that Michelle told me about that was so gentle, compassionate, humble, calm, kindhearted, etc. and doesn't even respond to her harshly, even when she provoked him while she was yet an atheist, that made him to easily be the undisputed number one on her list of favorite atheists.
Then boom, she dumps atheism and hardmirror suddenly into shammirror, to show the extent to which he'd go in order to win souls to atheism and retain the atheists?
He seems to think that everyone is a fool as those that may have bought the lie that he's only trying to say what he calls "the truth" but not to convert anyone to atheism, which was already pretty much the most blatant lies that's been ever sold in the history of Nairaland by any nairalander(forgive me if another lie beats his record since i'm like a fresher here, for this lie would take some beating), but this instance has even made the lie even more obvious.
Hardmirror is hell-bent on converting(dragging some more) and retaining atheists in Nairaland and beyond, FACT!
But he thinks he's very wise playing the card of conversion story, not knowing that the foolishness of God is much wiser than men, and hence it's well obvious to jesusjnr that he's only seeking that as an avenue to exploit, and use to advance his own personal atheism agenda.
If there are any atheists in nairaland and beyond that doubt this truth because of the gentle, kind-hearted, caring, patient way etc., that hardmirror is treating them, respecting and acknowledging their threads and posts, that makes them to feel so appreciated, dearly loved and endeared to hardmirror, then they should prove me wrong by dumping atheism, if they wouldn't see another version of hardmirror being unleashed even as Michelle has done.
Zither: I understand your reference to Jesusjnr, but I want to ask you to let Michellekabod1 alone. She has done nothing to deserve your bitter string of labels. Anyone can turn Christian or atheist without unnecessarily being subjected to a barrage of criticism.
what labels? Where was she labelled? As for her conversion thread, it remains silly. I have no issues with her converting but what is the point of opening a conversion thread without any story to it. Even in church people giving testimony have to give a background to their testimony else it could just be a lie. So you just read such a thread and shout praise god and not wonder what happened? Did she see god? What exactly is her story? Nada. No story.
Michellekabod1: I like you but you are so daft,shallow and blind.
I forgot,add sterile to the list of diatribes that describes...
Now get lost,MOFO!
good. Let the vile out. Lol. All the sweetness and miss nice you and jesusjnr are puring out dont mean dolt to me. Your threads are nonsense, deal with it. Kapish
LordReed: So in other words the value we assign to something when we call it good or bad?
good only cos it collectively benefits us as a society. Simple. Stealing is not objectively wrong but as a society we realize if it is made bad then we can collectively benefit from our individual labours without fear of losing what is ours. And same applies to everything we tag good and bad
LordReed: I wouldn't call what you have described a slippery slope but rather a dichotomy because it creates 2 classes, those who benefit and those who don't. I think this is where your intersubjectivity comes into play, we need to agree on what constitutes benefits and what doesn't as well as who gets to benefit and who doesn't. None of it is dictated by an absolute morality, us conscious and higher capacity cogitative creatures are the ones who create a scale. That scale will never be "perfect" that is cater for everyone to be a beneficiary, there probably will always be winners and losers. For the goat, right now on the scale it is a loser, maybe in future that changes but right now it is what it is.
that is it. It is the dichotomy that is the issue. But is that even an issue? What we call moral is indeed set societal rules that are thought to benefit the society
i am done replying them. It is funny they think they are making sense. I am ready to listen to christian, muslim any one that is sensible even if they are rude, they shld just make sure they are making sense.
