Islam › Re: If Islam Has Nothing To Do With Moon, Why Do Muslims Wait For It? by ifenes(m): 10:46pm On Jul 05, 2016
Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back as 2000 BC.

In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah.

This Hubal was a moon god. This moon god was also referred to as "al-ilah". This is not a proper name of a single specific god, but a generic reference meaning "the god". Each local pagan Arab tribe would refer to their own local tribal pagan god as "al-ilah".

"al-ilah" was later shortened to Allah before Muhammad began promoting his new religion in 610 AD.

There is evidence that Hubal was referred to as "Allah".

When Muhammad came along, he dropped all references to the name "Hubal" but retained the generic "Allah".

Muhammad retained almost all the pagan rituals of the Arabs at the Kaba and redefined them in monotheistic terms.

Regardless of the specifics of the facts, it is clear that Islam is derived from paganism that once worshiped a moon-god.

Although Islam is today a monotheist religion, its roots are in paganism which is all about Astrology.

No my brother you don't get the time concept. I can only agree with you that time doesn't travel back.
Do you know about special relativity in physics, time dilation, et al
What is the concept of Time? (a question to you)

Meanwhile,if you will agree with me that All thing exist NOW,then what you call the Past and what you call the Future exist Together Nothing is chiseled in stones,its probability. But looking at a Linear experience in which our Minds create the continuity which creates a Past and Future for convenience sake. But they all exist right now.

What ever you choose to be in the Present,that's a completely different person every micro-seconds of that particular Life-experience. If you decide to be a different person in the Future,you will automatically have a different Past. The Past doesn't determine the Future,neither does the Future determine the past.

That may sound confusing at first but let it sink in. Example; You jumped from a tree to another, now you have a different root because you have jumped/switched tree. When you become a Pastor in the future,you have changed your past. Your present has changed the past.

If someone has a drug addiction and truly truly decides to change from that and successfully changed,then he never had an addict because he is now a new person. That is what the Christians call being "born again" a new creature.

Basically we are Human "beings" who continues to be in the Now. No past no future,all is Now.


Time Dilation

There is an effect of time variation. When we move closer to the Speed of Light( which is a border to our reality) the phenomenon of time dilation is noticed to occurs. Time slows down the faster you move in space. This is what created the "twin paradox",where two twins of the same age. One set of twin traveled on a spacecraft and traveled very close to the speed of light. Time for them will slow down and when they got back they looked many many years younger than the other ones. If you travel 50% the speed of light the more space time you use. If you stand still you use more time and when you move you use less time. The closer you travel to the speed of light,the more space of space time you use. less time more space,less space more time.

dblackninja:
Very correct bro.
Time does not travel forward or backward. Everything(future and past) is happening now. Time,Motion etc are not real,they only help us experience things in sequence. What you have been experiencing your whole life is like a hall of film projector. There is the illusion of "time" only when the film projector displays those frames - one frame at a time - in a rapid steady sequence. Yet, ALL those frames exist simultaneously. In fact the projectionist can take out the roll of film, spread it out on the floor and view all those frames at the same time.

In a similar manner, our consciousness "projects" individual "still frames of reality" in a steady and extremely rapid sequence. We are basically "Time Traveling" almost a Billion time per sec.

Our Higher Self(or true self) functions like the film projectionist, who can take out the roll of film and view ALL the frames simultaneously. Our Higher Self functions in a timeless eternal-NOW zone. This is where the idea of God being eternal came from,which is Us.

Time is a continuous illusion,same as Motion.

Logicbwoy:
Yes, you are right! An ability to time travel would be a god-like power.


As for going to the past and killing my grandfather, the logic is not so simple- that is why it is a logical paradox.

Think about three other logical possibilities.

1) What if I travel to a time before my grandfather was born? I would still exist, right? What is now the difference between killing my father and going back to a time before he was born since he wouldn't exist in both scenarios?

2) What if there are multiple future timelines as a result of killing my grandfather? What if I then create two futures? One future where I exist and another future where I don't exist because my grandfather is dead? Parallel universes?

3) What if I kill my grandfather for fun and then, my brother goes back in time just at the moment I was about to kill my grandfather then, he stops me from doing the murder?


Time travel logic is crazy! Only true philosophers can handle it.




cc Plaetton, Reyginus, hahn, johnydon22
There is no paradox in Time Travel.

If you time-travel to the time of your grand-father and kill him before he has any children, then your father could not have been born. Then you also could not have been born. So, if you were never born, how could you go back in time to kill your grand-father?

Knowing that Time is an illusion and everything is happening now, all time is truly NOW. Your past lives are occurring right NOW. future lives are occurring right NOW. All time periods are co-existing right NOW. Since there are an infinite number of time-lines - all simultaneously co-existing,may even appear to be practically identical to your own past or future. Your grandfather exists in other time lines but a different one to the one you will kill in the past but very identical and similar.

A lady had a parallel shift and unconsciously time traveled to another Time-line,where she is still with her Ex,she lived in the same house but the color of her couch was different. Even at work,her Secretary was her boss,her desk was the same. Luckily she shifted back to her time-line before being diagnosed of mental dis-order or demonic possession by a pastor.

damogul:
Ok here we go... at about 9.30pm on the 1st of July 2016 while sitting at home and meditating on the events of the day (which is a common practice of mine) I heard a voice clearly tell me that I should embark on a 7 day fast. Now over time in my walk with God I have come to know when he speaks to me and so I knew He was the one.

I began this fast immediately without questioning the reason behind it. Now fast forward to yesterday afternoon after church my wife, my son and I all went home and I decided to take a short rest while my son was busy watching his cartoons.

My wife came into the bedroom briefly to let me know she wants to go down the road to buy some vegies and stew stuff and she left. Now this is where it gets interesting.

I live in Ajah and those who understand the ajah expressway and how dangerous it is would attest to what I am about to say. The distance from my house to the express is about 300 to 400 meters and my family especially my son is well know on our stretch of road and has never been seen alone as either my wife or myself are always with him.

My wife left but did not shut the front door properly. My son who is just 3yrs old got up opened the front door and opened my pedestrian gate which my wife did not lock when going out so she could easily come back in without knocking to wake me up and walked out.

I woke up suddenly barely 2 mins after my son walked out and note I said barey 2 mins because I estimated how long it took him to get to where he did and myself to also get to where he got to after searching the house and compound for him.

He walked from my house passed where my wife was busy making purchases and straight into the middle of the lekki ajah expressway. Now this is my problem... nobody seemed to notice him when he was walking towards the express even those who knew him and it was the shouts of a keke driver thag got peoples attention and he (the keke man) jumped intl the road and began flagging fast approaching vehicles down before snatching him from the middle of the road. It was at that point of snatching him from the road that I got there due to the screeching of tires and shouts I heard.

My son broke down in tears due to the shock of the moment and myself and my wife of course got scolded by several people.

Question: why was it that it was after I was asked to fast and I obeyed that this calamity was averted?

Who asked me to fast? Was it my mind or based on sixth sense?

Note: we are not normally careless people my wife and I but the events of yesterday seemed like a well scripted occurrence....too well scripted from my little nap session to my wife going out to buy stuff which she normally does on our way back from church but didn't do this time even with money on her to the front door left slightly open to the pedestrian gate being open to the fact that nobody saw my 3 yr old son walking alone even when they knew him so well?

Please I need an explanation. Is there a link between my fast and the aversion of this disaster?
Is there a scientific explanation to it? Was it nature playing a cruel joke?

Answers pls.


Also note that in my life I have experienced quite a number of Strong spiritual occurrences so you need to offer me an explanation that is irrefutable so I can believe that things just happen for no reason.
You experienced a parallel shit to a reality where your son wasn't hurt. That's all. In another world your son is dead or badly hurt.

Christianity Etc › Re: Is Masturbation A Sin ? (prove It) by ifenes(m):
According to Christian belief sin consists of loving something that God hates, or hating something that God loves.

We can therefore say the Christian god is pure love, yet is hateful at times? The same god impregnated Mary without her consent,i wonder how many nights he did it for before eventually impregnating her? And that is what I call RAPE. Better to masturbate than rape.

I think it's silly when religion tries to pervert something that is totally natural. Basically what they're saying is being a human is a sin.

lordnicklaus:
I am almost done with religion. I feel like I have been robbed or possibly duped of my freedom.
My sense of reasoning is beginning to tingle, even the thought of the so-called hell fire doesn't scare me. I have considered some things that are impossible in the nature of things and which betray the thinking power of a rational mind.
I have also considered the possibility that God allows sufferings just to prove Himself. Even the design of certain creatures shows that things including suffering and chaos were planned from the onset (speaking with the probability that God exists). Seriously, if you wanted a peaceful world, why would you give the scorpion a sting or give the eagle a claw? This actually proves that God knew that peace wasn't gonna last and that one day, the scorpion would need its sting to defend itself. If God exists, He should reveal Himself through easily grasped means and not revealing Himself to a set and leaving the others in doubt. I am not in the position to disprove God's existence neither am I sure of His existence. Theists would jump in now and say I do not have a relationship with the creator. A creator who plays deaf to prayers or blind to sufferings is not worth having a relationship with.

Christianity Etc › Dear Christians,do Not Be Scared Of Atheism by ifenes(op):
Often time,educational pamphlet designed for Christian children warned God’s little lambs to avoid sour unhappy people called “atheists.” I used to have Deeper Life Outlines as a kid that had cartoons in which the atheist characters as are rude, mean and drunk; and bad things happen to them. Stereotypes like these get echoed sometimes even in Christian books and lectures that are targeted at young christian Lambs

I will tell you what Atheism is; It isn't a religion. It is a way to categorize a minority of people who want to takes responsibility for themselves and not credit or blame a supernatural designer. Atheist don't believe in something,but themselves.


Atheism is far more common among elite scientists and some of the most peaceful and equitable societies on earth are also the least religious. But Religious folks persist in fearing that godless people are amoral, that unfettered by religion the world would descend into the anarchy and bloodbath,which is clearly not true

A famous Atheist said “Knowing there is a world that will outlive you, there are people whose well-being depends on how you live your life, affects the way you live your life, whether or not you directly experience those effects. You want to be the kind of person who has the larger view, who takes other people’s interests into account, who’s dedicated to the principles that you can justify, like justice, knowledge, truth, beauty and morality.” – Steven Pinker, cognitive scientist

Atheists are already in heaven. It is only as good as they make it.

Our greatest fears often appear to us in the dream, which serves a reminder for you to actually face and solve them in the physical world. Until you solve them you are likely to keep facing them. Reason being they are the self created challenges that would help us expand into more of ourselves and grow as the short term physical experience goes on.

OP An Atheist mind has no problem accepting those who are different to them in ideas,sexuality,religion and general views.

It is easier for Atheist mind to accept equality,discourage racism,tribalism etc.

To the Atheist there is no divine law,hence women are seen as equals, there is the urge to improve our ways of lives,the urge to improve the condition of the planet,the urge to let people understand the need to take care of the planet which is our home,a philosophy alien to religious folks who think the planet will be destroyed and are awaiting it,hence the care less about our beloved home planet,Mother Earth.

The way forward for humanity is to boycott every form of divine law which is presently causing division,terrorism, tribalism,racism,discrimination and spread of fear. We need a world where everyone is willing to contribute their talents,think together as one.

What we don't need is the spread of fearful philosophies,gods,devils,negativity, religious scams and less care for our beloved planet.

People of God. Please, can God still foregive me?
This my story...I served God, did great things in the past for God and I was happy with my relationship with Him. Having almost all the nine (9) gifts of the Holy Spirit at work in me, I enjoyed fellowshiping with God all day and night. When I changed environment, I continued strongly with God. Then along the line, I started mixing with some friends around. The Holy Spirit did warnned me against such friends and my involvement with them. Gradually, I found myself along with my friends doing things that I'm not proud of.
That was how i slowly left the path of righteousness and alined myself with sin. Today turning back to God is my utmost desire. But, fear wouldn't let me.
Now, my heart pricks me everyday. What must I do to gain my place again in God?
Can you forgive yourself? Yes you can

Everything is what you call God...they are your creation. If you live in a world where the Sun is green,it is a collective creation.
