Even in the report, they’re responding to…
It says Tokyo recognizes same-sex unions, and a different district court upheld it.

But so many Nairalanders can read, but cannot understand…
The true epitome of Nigeria’s cram-and-regurgitate “education” system.

Asian eeh
The article clearly states that Japan has no issues with same sex unions,they simply do not recognize it as MARRIAGE

Ahah...Am I gong mad here? Is this guy not saying the brain is not in the chest and that we grab our chest when we feel emotional pain? Am I the only one seeing that this guy is saying the pain is proceed in the chest?

Okay let's say I misunderstood you,and I am lying, help me understand. Where is emotional pain processed (not felt, processed)?

You are wasting your time I must tell you
These people do not give a damn about science and evidence,they believe whatever they like
I have asked that question before no satisfactory answer, save yourself the stress and allow them believe whatever they like

cooltola:
Athetist will still not believe

The story has been debunked
The joke is on you bro,who would rather believe anything

paxonel:
Adolf Hitler was later converted to atheism by his father Alois

The picture you shared didn't state that he converted to atheism
Anyways,peace
Seems you are different from most christians

paxonel:
it does matter how prophecies are fulfilled, the bottom-line is, the prophecy has been fulfilled.

If you want to talk about violence, Christians were killed too, they were persecuted from the on-set.

Atheists perpetrated violence against religious people too. Adolf Hitler was an example

1) it matters how the prophecies was fulfilled
2) the christians who were killed are far less than pagans
3) atheists do not kill or perpetrate violence to because of atheism
4) Adolf Hitler was Roman Catholic

paxonel:
I don't believe in that trash, there is no such thing as rapture or end of the world in the bible. The term END OF THE WORLD is largely misinterpreted.

Nor be all Christians mumu like that

You see the problem with the bible. It's open to numerous interpretations,a passage in the book ofThessalonians is interpretated by most christians to mean rapture and you,a Christian alike is saying that there interpretation is wrong

paxonel:
You know how your question sound?

You are like someone who never read any science book before perhaps your discipline is the arts , then you are requesting from a scientist where is it written in a science book that there is artificial selection?

You want the scientist to start giving you lectures from the scratch on NL?

I'm not going to start giving you lectures about the mysteries of God's kingdom in the bible how Jesus describe his kingdom in his parables, you will have to go and read all that yourself if you are that interested

There you go,mysteries mysteries mysteries
If the bible says something is black and you say it's white your defense is mysteries

paxonel:
very true!
But so far, that isn't the case with Christianity.

For instance, I myself I'm less religious.
I hardly go to church.
If you don't ask me one on one, you won't even know that I'm a Christian. Except for the comments i posts on NL

There are millions of Christians who are like that, especially among the youths. It doesn't change the fact that they are still Christians in the heart.

Belonging to a religion or not is a thing of the heart, not what you see people do.
You can't predict it that way it does not follow .
even the coercive and violent approach or Islamic jihads over the years have ensure the growth of Islam world-wide.

Terrorism will not stop now, that means Islam will continue to grow

How did your religion gain relevance,no be through the same violence and intimidation

LordReed:
Yes there are prophecies. Even the Muslims believe that the whole world will become Islamic. And by about 2070 it is estimated that Islam will overtake Christianity according to current population growth trends.

The fact that a god has not been seen is just 1 reason why one can consider why a god doesn't exist but it is not the major reason why I know your god doesn't exist.

One key thing that paxonel has omitted is how that "prophecy" was fulfilled.
I know they like living in delusion but Christianity was spread by grandiose violence,fear,intimidation and deception
There was nothing divine about its spread

kingxsamz:
Lmao, story.
Compare religious criticism of now and ten years ago. It's increasing. Even Christians now bash Christianity.
The younger generation are less religious than the older generation, and the younger generation don't really care much about religion. They'll only grow up to have more irreligious kids, and it goes on and on.
It's only the generation of pastor Adeboye and Oyedepo that are strict to religious practices. So...

You dey mind them
Even here in Nigeria things are changing,the level of religiosity in this generation is being diluted not that people are leaving religion in droves but their attachment to it and it's relevance in their lives is diminishing .

paxonel:
I really don't know if there are prophesies concerning the growth of Islam in the Quran. The one i know is that of Christianity which has been fulfilled and serves as evidence

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

God is not seen that's why you can say he does not exist right?
I'm telling you now that Faith is the evidence that, that God that is not seen exist

Faith in the flying spaghetti monster right

paxonel:
And i have said his coming in the context of the scripture you mentioned that says "behold i come soon" refers to the day we will die.
I quoted this scripture to back it up

Hebrews 9:27 As it is appointed once for men to die, after that the judgement

The essence of him coming is to judge humans, and that will happen only when we die.

You will also agree that everyone are not going to die at the same date. Hence my statement EVERYONE HAVE THEIR OWN DATE OF HIS COMING "

Wait does this mean you don't believe in rapture,the world coming to an end and all that

paxonel:
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

this talked about Jesus being crucified and resurrected.

His resurrection was actually done with great power and glory.

If you read down in that same Matthew 24 , he specifically said that generation will not pass away until all these things are fulfilled.

Oga where was it stated in that verse that Jesus' death and resurrection is God's kingdom

paxonel:

This is the problem I have with the bible a verse can be translated in different ways to suit different purposes
The passage simply says "...behold I come soon" you are telling me that it means a different thing.

paxonel:
the passage has been fulfilled.
The some standing here were his disciples standing with him at that time he was talking to them, they did not die or taste death until Jesus was crucified and resurrected.

The son of man coming in his kingdom refers to him being crucified and resurrected.

You should know better to back this up
Bible refernces needed

Paxonel was this passage fulfilled
Mathew 16 vs28
.”Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

paxonel:
I don't get you.
Are you requesting for a scriptural back up to show that we all die at different date?

Who doesn't know that?

There are certain truth you don't need bible to explain, you have to use your discretion to understand

Strawman don start
I am not requesting a scriptural back up to show that we all die at different date
That wasn't what you said
Below is what you said
Everyone have their own date of his coming.
I am requesting for a scriptural back up for that

paxonel:
behold i come soon is another figurative statement a lot of us didn't understand.
The day you die that is the day he will come for you.

Hebrews 9:27 As it is appointed once for men to die, after that the judgement

Everyone have their own date of his coming.

That means, when he told them 2000 years ago that he will come soon, he meant they will die soon.

You see what I'm saying
When we point out the problems in your scripture you start giving these crap excuses
Meanwhile present scriptural back up for the part highlighted

paxonel:
This isn't about botany, it's figurative language
it might just be the smallest of seeds planted among the ancient Israel of that time.
If there is any smaller than the mustard found in Asia you wouldn't expect Jesus to use that as illustration to Israelites who knew nothing about it.

You know at this point all I can say is I can't make you think otherwise, I mean if the bible says something and that doesn't happen you will find excuses wouldn't you
The scripture says "behold I come soon" and over 2000 years is just about late but you tell me that soon in that passage has a different meaning from soon in the English lexicon
Again the omniscient Jesus makes a hell of a blunder out of botany and you say I should excuse him for naivety
Fine,but I hope you see why I can't take you folks serious

paxonel:
so, what reference do you use to validate that God do not exist since you say "there is no book of atheism" ?
because, obviously blind trust of believers or atheists have nothing to do with me or you respectively, except we want to keep generalizing thereby not letting the truth stand on it own objectively.

As for me this my reference :

Mark 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
Mark 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

Jesus made this statement about 2000 years ago before he was crucified.
2000 years have pass now, Google it.
Which herb(religion) is currently the greatest in the world?
You will discover that it is Christianity.

How did Jesus knew that this will happen?
Because he is God.

No mere human can ever, ever, ever, ever...

..make that kind of prediction.

There is a glittering botanical error in that passage you quoted

Firstly the mustard seed is not the smallest of all seeds like Jesus said
Secondly when it grows up it is not the largest of all herbs like Jesus said

Now to the topic,I'm not impressed by that prediction because of course it's a parable which is open to numerous interpretations. What happened to Jesus simply saying something like ....."This religion I have instituted would become the greatest religion in future".
But even if I accept that your interpretation of the passage is correct,it's not so impressive that Jesus predicted that the movement he was starting would become so great in future I mean so many successful people predicted or envisaged there success,nothing extraordinary about that
I would have thought you would quote a certain scripture
....behold I come soon....

over 2000years is not soon enough
