Please sir Evolution is a scientific theory and has nothing to do with atheists... Go figure and just stop the dumb attitude

Hmm... I don't really care cuz we have none in the country.

Why did you always use scientific theories to back up your claims and assertions?

Maybe evolusion has stoped or those 21st century monkeys have acquired an IQ that surpassess the evolution theory.

I always vocalize a claime that atheism is a logical expression of haphazard state of confusion.

Don't mind them, these atheists are confused.

Pending...

Well done bro... But i still choose to love Oyedepo... Don't ask me why- Because i said so.

.

Thank God that you are addicted to the religious section and not like those ediots always active in the romance section.

Even Jonnydon22 is addicted to Nairaland... Just joking cuz he is my brother.

Let me just know the state of your introversion... Are you an introvert?

Most introverts are extroverts in the online world.

This is such a display of an essentric adult rascal.
We shouldn't celebrate our past but mourn for the misdeeds.
May God Almighty forgive us all Amen.

We eat and we defecate and it seems like we never really ate..

So too is the relationship between the values of our lives and the absoluteness of our death..

So the beauty is not lost in the void of having ceasing to exist but having ever lived at all..

So while at it, make each moment count.. Live free, have fun, adventures, see the world, do the things you love..

So it matters not the certainty of death to come, what matters is the reality of what you have now..

Since just like the food we eat, our lives finishes. what matters is that you got a chance to savor every bit of the food and every taste of it.

That we are going to die makes us the lucky ones because it shows we ever got to live.. Many will never die because they never lived..

So all that matters is "Having ever lived.. "

You wrote smart, intelligent and articulate but i still choose to disagree with your points and assertions.

What is most important in life is not the memory of having ever lived.
The concept of life is settled on the present and not the past.
Their is no delight in rejoicing over the claim/fact of having ever lived or never ever lived.

A life with a limit or an appointed time interval is an ironic death.

God is not the God of the dead but the God of the living.

Every true life is eternal, infinite and everlasting.

If their is nothing like eternal life, then what we are living now is absolutely not a life but a disguissed pirated form of been active in existence.


But am sad though, my grandfather just die today.

You may have a lot to learn from the man.

God felt threatened when men built a flimsy tower that is not even up to the sky scrappers we have now but went on Awol when man built space stations, probes and rockets...

One of those ridiculous stories people have been fed with to explain simple things..

By the way, the tower of babel known in history was a tower built in Babylonia in honour of their God Mardurk not some shabby one language got confused tale..

Happy new year... Why didn't U come? I was expecting Yu.


You are wrong with what you posted but i will shift my abject opposition to another time.

Compliment once again.

I am the brother of Nikola Telsa, i sleep for just 2hrs everyday. So... I can't sleep in church.
Though the devil exist, but not in my world.

May be this is an opportunity for Nigeria to become a superpower country. Well, am not an advocate of worldwar III.

THE CREATION THEORY

Creation comes from Hebrew word "Bara" - to create, which means to bring into being.
See Heb 11:3. All other places, MADE and MAKE are used.
Genesis 1:1 the creation account was brought into existence.

However, scholars proved that the creation account is divided into two major part:-

- Single creation account
- Double creation account

The double creation theory is quite voluminous, while we will only be accentuating on the single creation account.

The subject matter will be anchored by the creation day theory.



THE CREATION DAY THEORY

Claim: The world was not created in 7 days.

Proof: The day is the 24 hours period between two successive risings of the sun.
The word day is used in scripture in three to four ways:-

- The part of the solar day of twenty four hours which is light (the earth is moving round the sun).
- A period of twenty four hours: Matt 17:1, Gen 1:15.
- A time set apart for some distinctive purpose as day of atonement (Lev 23:27) and a longer period of time (II Pet. 3:8-10).

Some bible scholars have coined a term "Creative Week" timing of God instead of a 24 hours creative day.
These scholars could not understand how it was possible for God to create all these things and the developments that took place within six days.
The creative day is ap period of time equivalent to geologic era. The days referred to in Genesis were not interval days but figurative.

Day is a long period of time e.g, the day of the Lord Zach 12:14, Psalm 90:4, II Pet. 3:8-10 One day before the Lord is like a thousand years. It was supported that the heavens and the earth have already been created long time ago. Thd Bible says that just because of satan's rebellion, God disorganised date of heaven and earth. The one in Gen. 1:1 is believed as re-creation.

The day of Gen. 1:1 cannot be 24 hours but a longer period because there was no sun until the fourth day. It was believed that the sun is a sign just to calculate the day since the day of its creation but once there is no sun for 3 days , how do they then calculate the 24 hours as a day? How was the creation in the first 3 days possible, since there wasn't sun until the fourth day?


I want Bible scholars and theologians on Nairaland to answer the question.
Not for christian please, because it is an extra biblical fact.


Merry Christmas.

When i have time, i will post the theory.

johnydon22:
True

What is true their?

I was reading a theological book which assert that earth (the world) was not created in seven days.
They proved the theorem with a standard that convinced me.

What is your take on this? Could it be true?

Which one is atheism? Did it exist?
If yes, it is just another form of religion.

I wonder why a man will still be doubting the existence of God in the twenty-first century.

Let the dead bury their dead.

This theory is only contradicting a fact.

Merry Christmas and happy new year greetings from the elect of the most high.

This has been a message that had compilled over the days to unveil the real meaning of Christmas, Christ perspective and God initial intention for sending Christ on earth.
The primary aim of writing this post is not to devastate the idea of celebrating christmas but instead providing reasons why you must go beyond the common way of celebrating and jubilating on a christmas occassion.

Generally speaking, christmas is one of the best season ever amoung the days of an annum.
The season of christmas is a time of joy, celebration and fantacies.
This is actually the mental consent that individuals undertook.

Howeve, the real meaning of christmas is not all about celebration, but instead, an appreciation to God.
If it is said to be celebration, then what exactly are we celebrating Christ for in this imperfect world?
Food for thought...

Drawing our attention back to the bible, we could observe that the three wisemen that came to meet Jesus at his birth did not come to celebrate the saviour but instead came to appreciate him.

Christmas signifies Christ birth. Meaning that the day Jesus came to the world.

Though, it is a bright idea to call to remembrance the birth of Jesus which was a definite assertion Jesus oblidged during his earthly ministry.
But if truely Christmas significantly implies a call to the remembrance of Christ birth, then the only logical and biblical thing to do is to appreciate his birth and not celebrating.

An average human being is familiar with celebration, since they usually derive pleasure from the midst of it.
Any body can celebrate christmas... Anybody can visit father christmas, sing christmas music, kill fowl, and even attend a christmas eve.
Infact, the majority of people that participate in the celebration are sinners.

To be distinctive, one must go beyond the worldly way of celebrating christmas and adopt the mental awareness of appriciating christ birth.
You sit yourself down and analyze in your heart or within your system what christmas is all about, why celebrating/appreciating christmas, and the value christmas will add to the believers.


WHAT IS CHRISTMAS ALL ABOUT?

Christmas simply the day Christ came to earth.
Christ implies the messiah, the annointed one and mostly known as the savior of the whole world.

When Jesus came on earth or i should say that during the birth of Jesus, the whole world wasn't rejoicing not to talk of celebrating.
Even the chief priests, the pharisee, official leaders of the synagouge and other religious oriented individuals in Isrealite.
At his birth, Herod wasn't happy, the teachers of the law hated him and the whole world was against him.
No one was stared up to celebrate his birth because the nature of his birth doesn't calls for celebration.
His coming was to spring up light in the midst of darkness and those that dwells in the region and the shadow of death.
To humble the whole world by making there deeds known and revealing there iniquities.

When he departed, non of his apostles and disciples celebrated his birth, but they all daily remember his birth.


WHY CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS?

Christians worldwide mostly celebrate christmas by re-calling and specially consecrating the birth of the messiah.
Birth here implies "the day that Jesus came to earth."
This logically prove to us that christians are actually celebrating the day Jesus was born and not Jesus himself.

This is a typical example of man's indoctrination and belief system.
Jesus must be celebrated and not the day he was born.
The day is not the savior but Jesus.
We can only appreciate the day but we cannot celebrate it.


HOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE CHRISTMAS

It is a good thing to show reverence to the day that salvation entered into the world.
But nevertheless, as a real christian, we are all entitled to appreciate the day but celebrate Jesus.

But how exactly are we going to celebrate Jesus in the way of the Lord? This will make me to array some few lists beneath on how to appreciate the day and celebrate Jesus.

- Appreciate the day on your knees but celebrate Jesus in your heart.

- Go back to the way of the cross and carry your cross with Jesus.

- Rebuild your relationship, faith and love with him and also express it to others.

- Build your prayer alter, holy ghost baptism and fresh fire.

- Become an enemy of the devil and never advocate iniquity.

- Demand for a new change in life.

- Start living and not just existing.

- And finally, challenge yourself with these question:
[b]/- A wiseman will crave for wealth, a wiser man will aspire wisdom and the wisest man will go for power, but as a christian what are you desperate for?

Let me give you the hint... Be desperate for these three things...
- Jesus
- Life
- Heaven
And these there things are one.

Once again, compliment of the season.
Merry Christmas.

Christ peace.
