Religion / Re: What I Just Discovered Is Guaranteed To Make You Throw Your Bible Away! 100% by hupernikao: 12:43am On Jan 04, 2022 |
Myer: Good. That means, the Mesopotamia is older. Now, help him to be doing research and study well. The same flood story he speaks about was in the legend of ancient Mesopotamia and ancient China. That means such story was already in circulation before Moses was born. Making Moses the sole owner of the flood story is lack of study. Moses must have learnt it in school, Egypt has same legend. What you should do when reading Bible is to seek for theology not history or science. That is the safe way to know what its being taught. Moses only used the story to explain theology, God's plan for humanity. Hence, HardMirror premise are too faulty to even be considered. Whether the flood happens or not is not my own issue but it's exposes his lack of research and proper study of the ancient world. And you can't criticize the Bible successfully without a deep understanding of their world. In conclusion the flood story, predate even the China and Egypt that HardMirror used as his yardstick to measure if it happened or not. If Mesopotamia can have it as legend, and Mesopotamia is the region where we have the very first development of writings. that should let you know that such story predate the discovery of human letters, alphabet and ability of man to write things down. At best they were orally transmitted and we may never be able to ascertain how long it has existed. |

Myer: And on one side you may be able to help him answer what he is cant provide answer to since. This will help him see his wrong assumptions and errors. Which is older, the ancient Mesopotamia or ancient China? |

Myer: Well you never addressed my points. But I will still treat your thoughts as separate. Which of the chronology is he basing his assumption on. That will help us streamline his error. |

ifyken: Deborah98: : @ifyken But all these you wrote were your assumptions from the Bible. You may need to reread and understand better. 1. Joshua was never wrong with the science and knowledge of their days. Judging a text of 3000 years ago with recent science is like arguing why is Tesla car not mentioned in the Bible. We must stick to the knowledge of their days to judge them. Even the atheist of their days will say sun moves. The writer used the language and knowledge of their days to explain the events. Knowing years later that it's the earth that moves/stops never make the events untrue. We just read today with better understanding. 2. Can you show me the very verse or events where the Bible stated that the earth is 6000 years. I guess you are assuming? But you stated it as if it was written in the Bible. You were wrong. Try to reduce your assumptions by reading Bible text yourself. 3. Flooding of the earth wasn't the story Moses the writer in the Bible. The story was in existence before he was born. The ancient world has the legends and the stories over 400 years before Moses was born. He could never have been the one who started it. Definitely he was taught. Howbeit, Moses wrote and used the story to unveil God's mind to us. God plan and purpose. That's what prophet does. Don't you think the moment you start using a Prophet word as scientific you are actually the one in error. Moses was a prophet of God not a professor of science. If you have been taught that Moses or Bible wrote science, you have been misled and it's still affecting your thought pattern. Moses used existing stories and legends to communicate wisdom about God's plan in the earth. When you read a prophet, seek for the wisdom of God in what he is saying not holding to expressions used. If you have read well the ancient world writings, you will know that a wise writer is the one who uses events, figures, animals etc to unlock hard truth, and express wisdom to his hearer. Hence, see to it that you understand the intent of Moses in writing to us about Noah's flood. If you have read me up to this point, I believe what should fill your mind now is to reread those stories that have been presented to you wrongly and start looking for God's wisdom in the mouth of the prophet, the writer than reading it as a science book. Cheers. 2 Likes |

Myer: You have finally diverted the discussion. Go back and read what I quoted. It was never about writings but creation. The world we are in. We need no writing to know this world exists. Comparing it to Harry Potter is just an excuse to discussion. |
Religion / Re: Nairalanders, Please Why Is God's Existence A Debate? by hupernikao: 1:07pm On Jan 03, 2022 |
Myer: Are we talking about what is written or what was created? Don't divert the analogy. We are talking about creation now. Not what is documented about creation. The world existed, we are in it, we can hold, work in it. Hence no one doubt it. Harry Potter world is none existent, it was a movie. Or else give details of his world or what he created that we can hold or work with then this analogy can fly. The argument here is if the earth was created, using Harry Potter, an abstraction with no substance of creation to explain reality is joke taken too far. I hope you get this now. |

HardMirror:.. What a fallacious conclusion. We say, calm down and learn Bible, you argue. We say read am properly yourself, you argue. See yourself now. A very poor knowledge of what you criticized. You are all wrong in context, explanation, in language, understanding and even ability to read well. Bible wasn't teaching flood story, such story were in existence even before Moses was born. The ancient world had it. You took time to be estimating flood period but failed to do study on where and how such story began. That is laziness. The writer of that portion of the Bible was a prophet and was using the flood story to teach God's plan for humanity. He never claimed to be the author of the story, but he was the mouth piece for the revelation taught using the same story. It will then become, an issue of unseriousness, for one to read the word of a prophet of God and start comparing it to science. Such has not only lost his simple education, he has lost his ability to reason things the right way. 1 Like |

Religion / Re: Nairalanders, Please Why Is God's Existence A Debate? by hupernikao: 11:31am On Jan 03, 2022 |
HardMirror: Have you ever wondered that in the ancient world, almost all regions and culture have knowledge of a god without these people having interaction together. Mesopotamia had theirs African did same even without having to learn from each other. Each region had one way or the other the development of the knowledge of a God. An acclaimed experience that almost align with the experience of those they never had contact with. I am sure they weren't reasoning together or communicating to arrive at almost the same conclusion. If we assume they were all foolish, then the definition of foolishness must have been taken from a more foolish generation that arose thousands of years after, called the modem world. 1 Like |

LordReed:.. This analogy doesn't go. It's a subtle diversion. He referenced the creation. What you can see, feel, hold, work with not what is abstract, or in movies. Creation isn't movie. Harry Potter never had anything done that we can visit, hold or work with. It was an imagination. So, you should place the right analogy. Like something created or invented without an inventor or creator. That will be perfect. 1 Like |

Myer: Haahahaaa. I hope your assumption about me won't hold your legs one day. It shows you haven't been following my submissions on NL. If you do, you will know how much I hold in high esteem the apostolic and charismatic ministry. But let's leave that. I pointed you to the practices seen in the scriptures, which the Holyspirit inspired. Men were saved and raised as disciples consistently. The whole of the Epistles are books of discipleship for churches. Speaking about letting the Holyspirit decide is like casting men out to do what they want in the name of Holyspirit. You are the light they see, you are the voice of the spirit they obeyed when they got saved. They must also be able to trust that same voice the holyghost used to saved them to disciple them. Let's stay true to the scriptures. Get men saved, get men matured. That's the scriptures. Jesus said it and taught it, Peter said it and taught it Paul said it and taught it. John said it and taught it. Same as James, Jude. But no one taught what you are pointing at here in the scriptures. No single person or teaching taught that. Yet there are over 100 verses, teaching, explanation and practice of what I point you to. Don't you think that means much. |
Religion / Re: Do You Know There Is No Single Evidence For Creation? by hupernikao: 4:47pm On Dec 31, 2021 |
Myer: Bro don't let us go into doctrinal exegesis of this. The church itself is a school for discipleship. That is what was taught and practiced in the Bible. I am not the one determining it and the Holy spirit isn't going to determine this, He has already determined it and given us in his word. The church is the place for Christian maturity. Holyspirit don't initiate confusion but order. Let's follow that order he has laid in the scriptures. |
Religion / Re: Do You Know There Is No Single Evidence For Creation? by hupernikao: 4:04pm On Dec 31, 2021 |
Myer: The moment I refer to "church gathering" that already shows discipleship. That is the essence of the gathering of Believers. To be matured. Hence my submission. |
Religion / Re: Do You Know There Is No Single Evidence For Creation? by hupernikao: 12:56pm On Dec 31, 2021 |
Myer: I love the fact that you said offline can't be displaced. I will add to that. The church of Jesus is not decided by technology. The gathering of God's people can never become online. Mark it down. The gathering will overcome this present wave of online church. It won't stand the test of time. As much as technology is beautiful, and has helped us more in reaching more, yet it can never take the place of physical gathering. The church is beyond just coming together to sing and hear God's word. It's a training ground for the saints. Where saints are molded for the work. Like I told you before, military training for recruits hasn't gone online, why?. Do you see an army being trained all online without physical interaction for combat? If US with one of the best technology in the world has never neglected their off-site training for their army, how much more the soldier of Christ. We will scale this phase, I assure you. The church will gather in unity of strength physically to reach more for Jesus. |
Religion / Re: Do You Know There Is No Single Evidence For Creation? by hupernikao: 10:21am On Dec 31, 2021 |
Myer: Well Firstly, I don't think I am evangelizing here. I can call what happens here only contending for the faith to do my part and ensure God's word isn't handled badly at least in the spheres I am. I am a strong believer in offsite on ground evangelism and outreach. I don't believe much can be don't on that online. Just the way you can't train a recruit soldier online for combat, you can't raise a Christian soldier same way. Secondly, I believe that my conviction about Christianity and the practice of it is what was found in the 4 gospels in christ life and the Acts/Epistles. I also believe strongly in getting better on this. Thirdly, I believe there isn't any perfect church or Christian. So much you will have something to always correct and be better. The church is for perfecting people not for perfect people. So I believe that even if a denomination have some contradictions from what I hold or some Bible practice, it doesn't make them unbelievers or false teachers except it is done deliberately against the lord or his church. Hence I will rather protect my brothers (all Christians) than cast aspersions to them in public sphere. Every family will do that. Right? Fourthly. I believe that no unbeliever should be condemned but reached with convincing thoughts to bring them to Christ. I believe and have seen even the worst of atheist becoming a great preacher of the word. Atheism, Cultisms doesn't move me not do I see them as inferior to me as human. I only desire always for them to be able to come to this light even as I am. And this is my strongest desire for HardMirror and LordReed to name few. This I can do by preaching, pleading, scolding, admonishing, exhorting, teaching and correcting. Hence such fellow may receive it different way but a honest person will know I never condemn nor demean an unbeliever for any reasons. Hence, I believe, that any where the name of the Lord is named in sincerity, they are my brothers irrespective of the doctrine preached, it will only be an issue of straightening the doctrine not casting out as unbelievers. There is the unity of faith. And all these I have tried as much to hold true even on NL. |
