LordReed:
I don't have such a belief. Any other example?

Opinions don't have to be based on facts, they are simply personal perspectives.

Lol... So if I were to ask you to give me the facts about climate change what would be your answer?

FatherOfJesus:
whatever I failed to learn in school, I wil just say it's spiritual. I'm a robot with no functioning brains

Whatever I don't understand or can't explain, I'll just say it happened by chance.. I'm an Atheist with a functioning brain.. .. Keep it going..

FatherOfJesus:
You are uneducated, that's why you think our ancestors were monkeys

Says the guy that believes that something came from nothing and order came from disorder... Kwantinoo..

I was watching TV at the same time I was signing up on my phone

When I was thinking of a moniker, I saw the word on TV

Lol... That's so random

MaxInDHouse:
Of course you're a believer after all Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Traditionalists, Buddhists and many more also BELIEVES in their various Gods, but as regards my own God only JWs believe in Him so they are my own fellow believers in the same God.

Okay, NEIGHBOR, I rest my case! I look forward to meeting you in Heaven some day.

cornelboy:
You don't need my permission actually. Just go for it.

1Sa 28:3 Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.

1Sa 28:4 Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at Gilboa.

1Sa 28:5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

1Sa 28:6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.

1Sa 28:7 Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor."

1Sa 28:8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Please conduct a seance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you."

1Sa 28:9 Then the woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

1Sa 28:10 And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."
1Sa 28:11 Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" And he said, "Bring up Samuel for me."

1Sa 28:12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!"

1Sa 28:13 And the king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What did you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth."

1Sa 28:14 So he said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle." And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.

1Sa 28:15 Now Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do."

1Sa 28:16 Then Samuel said: "Why then do you ask me, seeing the LORD has departed from you and has become your enemy?

1Sa 28:17 "And the LORD has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

1Sa 28:18 "Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

1Sa 28:19 "Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines."

1Sa 28:20 Then immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.

This Scripture first makes it clear that Samuel died and his body was buried. And then Saul asked the medium (a medium is a person that can contact spirits) to bring up (or summon) Samuel spiritually.

And when he asked her what she saw she said she saw a spirit - referring to Samuel as a spirit, and then she went further to describe his form and this correlated with his physical form when he walked the Earth.

And then Samuel has an interaction with Saul and apparently he had knowledge of what was going on in the land of the living and even told Saul his future. How did he get this knowledge?

Also, he told Saul that he will be with him at the end of the next day. What did he mean by that?

So, bros it is clear that men are indeed spirits, and death is not the end.

I'm eager to see how you'll respond to this point because I still have more Scriptures to show to you.

kimco:
1. You did not answer my question. You just decided my question wasnt good enough to answer and came up with your own that supports your claim. Please address my question.

2. What is the difference between truth and fact then? Is a truth a fact?

Of course truth is a fact. The Earth is a planet. That is true and that's a fact.

illicit:
Not licit

Oh.. ok

Maynman:
I’m sorry too, I was only stating that your ancestors that they use Bible to lure into slavery and degraded them worse than baboon while preaching heaven to them . This is based on my preconceived motion about Christians, I didn’t mean to insult you.

Hahahaha... well played... well played...

MaxInDHouse:
Keep what you're able to understand, at least it's better than nothing!

Lol... yes sa!!

MaxInDHouse:
I always correct most people who likes referring to me as bother (bro) note that you're not my brother but neighbour!

You can relate with someone as brother through birth (blood relation) through work (business) through faith (believers)

So if you're not related to me in any of these three then you're not my brother in any way rather you're one out of billions of neighbours i have on planet earth.

You can only be my brother if we have the same line of thought {John 17:22} that's why JWs refer to ourselves as "BROTHERS" {Matthew 12:46-50 compare to Matthew 23:8} not because we're chatting on faceless forum!

So you don't acknowledge me as a believer?

So if I pray to Jesus and say, 'Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you were buried, raised on the third day and are seated at the Right Hand of God and will come again to Judge the living and the dead' that doesn't make me a Christian?

Explain to me please.

LOL... HAHAHAHAHA.... This guy will not kill me with laughter... Oya sorry... Amen, brother NEIGHBOR, keep it up!

illicit:
U are lying oga

When you say 'your eyes caught' what exactly do you mean?

ifyken:
The first three words is the short form of my mom's name while the last three words is the Short form of my brother's name

Lemme guess.. your mom's name is Ifeoma, hence Ify and your bro's name is Kenneth, hence Ken. Did I get it right?

DoggoneDogg:
He was American. South Carolina.

Ehen! I thought as much. So you be ajebo?

PastorMIsBack:
I registered with my husband's email.
He's a pastor.
His name is Matthew.

Hence, PastorM.

I wish I could change it
On other sites you can change your username EXCEPT Nairaland which is still stuck in the past (sigh)

Lol... Then why didn't you just delete the account and open a new one with your real name?

Wanbissaka:
yep. Plays for Manchester united

Oh. Alright. So you're very good at soccer. Do you plan on going pro?

GreatAdvice:
There are so many misguided people on the web. My mission is to give the best possible advice whenever possible and completely free of charge. It's my very own version of philanthropy.

Wow.. That's very noble. Keep it up!

Wanbissaka:
Frnds named me wanbissaka cause of my tackling prowess

Who is that? A footballer?

Miracood2:
Mine was made under the influence of a strong liquor.

Dude... stop drinking.. that stuff is bad for ya

DoggoneDogg:
My grandfather cussed a lot and one of his favourites was "doggone!" because Grandma banned cuss words around the house. He was a dog lover & used it frequently around them so you can understand how doggonedogg was coined.

Lol.. But the average Nigerian doesn't use that word.. Was you father from the States or some other foreign country?

Maynman:
Ooh you were praising me earlier? Hypocrite. You can’t take what you dish out.

Lol.. I'm sorry if you thought I was trying to insult you. My reference to monkeys in the reply was based on my preconceived motion that Atheists believe in evolution which infers that men evolved from monkeys.. So I wasn't insulting ya!

And me calling you a white man worshiper was just me referencing the fact that you condemn your fellow Nigerians for accepting a white man's religion when you yourself have accepted a white man's Atheism

illicit:
Nothing

Just the first thing my eyes caught while registering

What does illicit even mean?

care4you:
Am the opposite of my moniker so don't be decieved.....



I gat no fvck to give!!
...

Lol... then why did you now choose it? was it you intention to be deceptive? or did you initially care and then stop caring?

FatherOfJesus:
I don't know science, hence I will make shit up and call it spiritual

If you think all religions are based on guess work then what can you say about scientific 'facts'?

FatherOfJesus:
I don't know how evolution works, I am just gonna all anybody who tries to teach me spiritually illiterate

I don't understand your response.

LordReed:
Why do you need an opinion on a fact?

Meanwhile I am still waiting for examples of atheistic beliefs.

Atheistic beliefs like, 'There is no God'

An opinion is simply a belief, what you think that is based on facts.

cornelboy:
I know you would.

You people think human beings are more than what we are. No!

We are just what we are. Our reasoning, mind, consciousness, life, body etc dies with us the moment we stop breathing, we continue to decay untill nothing is left.
God created us to be physical beings.

May you have peace!

Lol... What if I were to show you a Scripture that makes it plain that we are spirits? Do I have your permission?

LordReed:
And I would answer I have no beliefs about climate change.

Ok, what if I were to ask you, 'what do you think about climate change'?

FatherOfJesus:
I did all, I read the Bible myself and that's why I know it's nonsense.
You will only accept the Bible when you read it with a half-working brain.

Alright, bro.. I'm done with this interaction. Peace to you..

Maynman:
Your baboon ancestors that they used Bible to lure to slavery will be proud of you, Baboon

Lol... Now you resort to insults.. And you Atheists claim to be good people. ..

MaxInDHouse:
Well it's our interpretation of that scripture you're free to interpret it to whatever you want, one thing that's certain is Satan is the God of this WORLD {2Corinthians 4:4 compare to 1John 5:19} so all the political seats are under his control {Luke 4:5-7} when our Master, Lord and King (Christ Jesus) say he is no part of the world {John 17:14-16} we fully understand that he is not ready to participate in Satan's government (worldly politics) John 6:15
May you have PEACE!

Lol... Alright. If yous say so. May you also have peace!
