Iamgrey5:
I believe 95% of the memes I saw on this thread are true

Majority of women are just the op painted them. Especially the young ones.

Does that include ur sisters ?

Woooow

I thought u were a reasonable guy since u were an atheist @Martinez

So so disappointed

Seems a girl broke ur heart

TheExecutioner:
I know it's hard for atheists to grasp the concept of divine wrath, but I at least expect you guys to be capable of some form basic intelligent reasoning.What you call genocide in the Bible is nothing more than God manifesting His Divine Wrath and punishing nations for their sins/crimes.

Genocide on the other hand means the killing of a group of people specifically because of their racial attributes or because they practice a particular religion.

As for what you call slavery in the Bible, it was more of indentured servitude. In indentured servitude, it is not the human being who is owned, rather it is his ability to work which belongs to his master and it was usually for the purpose of paying off debts.

As for talking snakes and talking donkeys, the Bible doesn't credit snakes or donkeys with a natural ability to talk, rather the talking snake in the book of Genesis is able to speak because it has been possessed by Satan, while the talking donkey received the ability to talk only for one specific purpose on one specific occasion (to warn his master of imminent death). There is nowhere in the Bible where it is ever stated that speaking is a natural ability which animals possess like human beings.

As for misogyny in the Bible, please provide me with specific passages from the Bible where God regards women as being inferior to men.

Divine wrath u say
Smh
Why would an omniscient being get angry at the first place
I wonder how u people reason
The way u people bend logic just to defend ur god amazes me
Oga since the slavery in the bible is good why is such form of slavery not being practiced today ?

All they do is talk and talk and talk

Where is the evidence that ur god exists ?

Leah Sharibu is still in Boko Haram custody and if we are to believe the latest reports she has given birth


I don't even have strength for dumb arguments this year

Continue carrying religion on ur head,that's the plan of ur slavemasters

Shebi Europe has moved on but we African's insist we must continue being stupid

I don't know why the reasoning of some people are just so poor The Op just wants to get more followers on Instagram e be like say na small children full this forum

lmfao

I'm just stumbling on this thread after a long while
OMG my ribs are cracking
Jesusjnr u would be missed,I always loved the guy

I'm not sure if he really meant it,I mean the pray part
.
Last time I checked Pep Guardiola is non religious

TellTheTruth:


Did you not read this part where I said:

"Those who died without hearing the word will perish without the word, those who heard the word but turned deaf ear will be judged by the word unto condemnation (John 12:47-48) but those who believe (doers) shall be justified (Romans 2:12-13)".

Read the Bible chapters and verses I quoted so you can believe!

so that means they would go to hell ?

Op what about those who lived and died without hearing the gospel,where are they going to
Heaven or hell ?

shadeyinka:


You deliberatly choose to misunderstand Figurative Expression of the use of the word DNA even though you saw that it was put in a bracket.

I'll paste the post here again for you to see:


If you want to know why the Spirit of God is likened to the DNA, I will explain. Unfortunately, that wasn't your question: in fact you were just bent on ridicule hence your Deliberate misunderstanding.

And did I say God has a DNA or I was liking Gods Spirit to the DNA? Judge for yourself. I know you understand English language!

It is ridiculous to use the DNA figuratively in this instance,if God doesn't have a DNA why use it to describe him,can u use the human reproductive part to describe any feature of God,the bible doesn't compare Gods spirit to the DNA so how did you come about the idea that Gods spirit can be likened to deoxyribonuceic acid

Why do u christians like disgracing ourselves,what is my business sef

shadeyinka:

It is ok to Question doctrines.
It is blindness to deliberatly misinterprete simple English language expressions.

Thats is what I'm saying
If anyone questions your stance ot becomes misinterpretation
You said God put his spirit in man,and you insinuated that Gods spirit is his DNA,at the end of the day you are saying that God has a DNA

Everywhere you go DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid so please how did I misinterprete what you said
Again I ask,how come God has DNA,how did you come about that
In this case DNA is not suitable to be used in the figurative sense,so if you say God has a DNA,i should question that the same way if you say God has a brain I would question that

Dear friend, I like your point of view but the truth is Christianity and Islam are religions. The real question here is what do you know will happen to you after you die. Eccl 11: 9 says just read it on your own.
During judgement, people eyes will be clearer when you are being judged by the righteous Judge Acts 17:31.
He has made a way of escape for you from going to hell but the choice is yours. Repent and accept Jesus into your life. He is the way to save you and help you to live a life that will count for heaven when you die.

Thanks but I'm not interested

twosquare:
If you are not a disciple of Christ, just shush!

And if I don't shush what will happen

shadeyinka:


The Blind who claim bro see!
Very Very Blind!

Of course anyone that questions your doctrine is blind

I find this GOT argument to be an interesting on,I have always said it 90% of people are only religious because it was inmbined in them fur ng childhood,if they were allowed to grow up and make their choice,the number would be far less than what we have today.
I'm not a christian,but I can totally relate to christian issues as I have been in such position.I have nothing against GOT,actually I don't even see it,I think series are time consuming,I'm not against anyone seeing it though,but whether you like it or not,whether you choose to believe or not going by the standards in your bible seeing such films has the potential to drive you away from God.
If I were a christian,and if I were certain that heaven and hell exists,I would have no business with anything that could potentially drive me away from God.
But the thing is most of u like I said are only christians or muslims because u were introduced into the religion not by your own accord but by circumstances of birth and the society you belong in,so this is a scenario where you are grow up and you have to choose to live you life in the way that pleases you or to live it the way the bible stipulates which may mean àvoiding the things you love to do,which of course includes the kind of music you like to listen to and the kind of movies you like to watch.
It is obvious to me that most of you christians do not believe in you bible 100% since at the end you end up doing things you want to do even when it is clear that it can potentially hurt your chances of going to heaven.

What is my concern sef,please if you are a GOT fan,continue to enjoy the series don't mind my homily

ikechizoba:

This is one of those things that have been projected by the devil in the spiritual world and pushed into the world to trap the children of God. If you look around you,people are living to the standard and system of this world,those movie owners are the hosts being used day by day to bring in and promote such evil into the world.This world is ruled by devil ,in fact he owns and controls it and he keeps advancing, so you ,who claim to be a Christian should be wise,a friend to the world is an enemy of God,thus said the lord....

When you people say the devil rules the world,does it include the technological advancements we have today in health,engineering,science,biotechnology e.t.c
How could we have gotten to this point if the devil was in control,and then you also consider that the people who create all these are not very christian,could it be the work of the devil too ?

twosquare:
You said it well... Those scenes are seeds planted...reason I didn't even watch Empire at all when I read an article about it; same reason I cut off Shadow hunters, Jessica Jones, and any other series with these gay scenes. Only someone who is not spiritually alert will not know this is an agenda by these people to infiltrate the mind and make people accept the lifestyle subconsciously. You can hardly watch a good film nowadays without such nauseating act. Unlike early 2000s,you hardly see such, but now, they are everywhere.

I'll advise everyone to guard their minds...a time will come we will be forced to drop all non-Christian shows to retain our sanity and spiritual pristine personality; it is coming! That's why I enjoy playing video games more than to watch some Hollywood movies. God protect us and our kids.

All these theories u people come up with.
You are not their main audience after all how many if u pay to watch films in the cinema,they are making movies that their primary target audience would enjoy if you do not like the kind of movies they make Mount Zion is always there for you,other christian films are there too,better still open up ur own production firm and make the kind of movies u like.
Nigerians like to think they are so special,who gives a Bleep of what u think of gay people,nobody is making movies to convince you of anything you are the one who is expecting them to see things the way you see it

alBHAGDADI:


You are beautiful.

I'll like to meet you.

Bad guy, I swear if you be pastor ur female members go dey collect

shadeyinka:

Can you see how Intelligent you just showed yourself to be?

Someone needed an explanation (a means of understanding Spiritual lingos). An explanation/illustration was provided, and you have no decency of keeping quiet over Something linguistically above you.

God has a spiritual DNA,I'm impressed

Spiritual brouhaha

u know the most interesting thing about christianity is the fact that everybody interpretes the bible texts the way he like,the most important thing is that the end of the day their explanation points to the direction that God is always right,it doesn't matter the inconsistencies in their explanations,it doesn't matter the contraductions,it doesn't matter if it us reasonable or not it doesn't matter if it is consistent with what we see in reality, as long as the end product is to confirm the bible as true.
Shadeyinka please is the word "DNA" in the bible,where did you get the notion that man had God's DNA ,does God even have a DNA to start with and while you are at that,please is the process of DNA replication in God's DNA the same as in humans,what is the source of the components of God's DNA,where does he get the folic acid,from diet ?

First of all those figures are exaggerated, I think Ronaldo earns around £500,000 per week,that should be £2m per month.
Secondly those players are heavily taxed,in Spain non-citizens pay more than 50% of their salary as tax
With that being said,they still earn very huge

I have said it before and I would repeat it,if any christian is confident of his faith let us challenge the Op to completely stay off everyother therapy and put complete faith in Yahweh and then let's see the result

The funniest thing is this,the Op didn't tell us that the prayers healed him,from what he said he only feels relief after someone prays with him,how is this evidence that Yahweh exists please ?

Because I am straight I can relate to people finding homosexuality disgusting,but what I can not relate to is homophobia itself.It is one thing to hate an act or behaviour,we all are human beings and our sentiments would always be there but harming or posing a threat to others because of whatever biases we have is completely wrong.
I've been thinking this through,if we can be completely logical,then we should rather appreciate homosexuality with the following reasons
If homosexual people are not abused,most people who are gay would identify as such,from a males perspective this would decrease the competition of finding a female partner
You are also doing yourself a favour,imagine get married and later finding out your partner is gay,it would destroy the marriage,worse still you may not even know and the person would not be satisfying you sexually,but if gay people were free to identify as such,there won't be such pressure on them and this would be avoided
A lot of homosexual people wouldn't have kids and as long as they are okay with this then it shouldn't be a problem but more importantly its a good thing as the population growth would be controlled


If you enojoy and feel you have the right to abuse other people,threaten to hurt them,hate them just because of their sexuality which is only but a part of who they are,but at the same time you complain about white folks who are racist then you are disgraceful!!

Op I'm sorry about ur health condition,I wish u recovery.

I don't think think there is anything to be confused about, there are three options you have

One,if you think the prayers is working then I would challenge u to stop taking any medications,stop visiting the hospital,believe the bible hook line and sinker and pray earnestly to Yahweh to heal you,come back and give us the testimony if you are alive.
Two,if you want to use your brains the logical thing to do is to be committed to your medication,that is the best shot you have to live longer,Stephen Hawkings should come to mind, no matter the prognosis there is always a chance that you would live
Three,keep on taking your medications but at the same time engage in prayers,whether earnestly or not.The challenge with this is this,assuming you get better you can never be certain if it was the medication or the prayers.And this is a huge problem we face today,Christians know that medicines are reliable,but they can't vouch for prayers, that is why they would always take medicines when they are sick at the end,God takes the glory for the work of the drug.

I would urge u to take either the first or second option,if you take the first option and you get better then you have found the answer you are looking for,provided it is certain that the treatments you have received so far can not provide full remission of the illness.If you take the second options no guarantee you would get better but based on evidence that is the best chance you have and that is why you explored that option at the first place.If you take the third option and eventually get better you would always remain in dilemma,not knowing whether God contributed to your recovery or not.
As regards the "feelings" you have after prayers,you should know that every sickness has a psychological component, prayer operates at that level,but when you undergo an examination that is when you can say for sure if there is any positive effect on the sickness or not

P.S. christians shouldn't be too excited on this thread,you people should encourage him to stay off his meds and focus solely on God so that when he is healed we would be sure that it is solely Gods intervention,me on the hand I'm encouraging him to focus completely on his meds,depending on the sickness and the quality of healthservice he receives he can get well,but I have a problem with you christians who want him to also be getting medical attention,you obviously do not have full confidence in your remedy system but I'm not surprised of course.

Memphitz537:
My attention was particularly drawn to the lady that featured prominently in the said Vogue magazine cover. Her name is Léa Seydoux. She's a French model and actress. Her sojourn into Hollywood began when she played a one scene act only in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds in 2009. She then played another prominent role in Mission Impossible 4(Ghost Protocol) in 2011 and Her most recent role which put her on the Hollywood map was her being the Bond girl in the recent James Bond franchise "Spectre".......
Now,where am I driving at with this? Our very own Adesua's achievements CANNOT be compared to any of the models used on the cover of this magazine because she hasn't achieved anything significant in her career. Truth be told,Adesua CAN'T act. She just has a pretty face and that's where it ends.
Nothing more.

You cannot talk of Lea seydoux without mentioning " blue is the warmest colour "

Again, the argument here is; if you were created by something or someone, it appeals to logic that this something or someone has full inalienable right over you, to do with you however it pleases. Similarly like we as humans have over every creations we have made.

the same moral constraints to do not apply to both you and the creator, No, it obviously is above any petty morals that may govern you by its own prescriptions or yours.

Johnny u might want to explain the above
