Bacteriologist: Did you read the articles I posted. I bet no. Lmaoo
What does scientists being theists have to do with what we understand about life? Nothing.
And how did you get into my head to know "I don't know much about life than that?"
Did the holyghost teach you that? That its cool to make assumptions and direct actual projections about what you think about yourself on others?
god you're so condescending it's unbelievable. Your point of me reading the articles is for me to understand "life as you know it". It's not a new phrase so it is pointless asking me to read through what i already know. You can't just give me silly and pointless assignments. Good to hear you know that a great percentage of the researchers and your teachers are theists like me. Get it into your skull that knowledge of science and certificates in science doesn't mean that you worship science or take it as final answer. Your papers have no answers as seen in them, i have the answer from God's Word, you are free to drink your urine if that helps you. Life is beyond what you know it as, very simple and straightforward. There is no sanity in declaring that there's no life outside earth when you don't even know life. |

LordReed: Nope, it is a religious concept invoked to elicit a strong guilt reaction so that you'll agree you require "cleansing". If it was merely doing wrong then you won't need the forgiveness of a god. Religious concept that is naturally present in every human being as conscience. You don't have to be religious to have a strong guilt reaction, duh. You only need to have a conscience which everyone has. Deadening and hardening your conscience doesn't change the fact that you are a sinner on the expressway to hell fire. |

Bacteriologist: Yawns..So I digged up some articles about what what I mean by that term and how it's a phrase thats backed by research.
https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.0020302
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC516796/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3718341/
I don't expect you to read it. Because I don't deem anyone who believes in goat herders generated myth to have any interest in actual scientific research and evidence based scientific terms..
But then again I'm slightly hoping you can finally put your brain to a little use, read some science and acknowledge that there are phrases you might not have about before. Do you reason at all or you just read? Are the larger percentage of your teachers and the people who wrote what you are directing me to not theists? SMH. Read properly and reason, i don't say that i have not heard the phrase, i rightly said you don't know much about life than that. We know and pass the toys you struggle with in flying colours. We also know that life is more than toys. Really don't expect you to gerrit, it seems beyond your capacity evidently. |

Mercychen: At the bolded and many more was where you began to fall. You got carried away by so many activities.
You lost focus of the one who makes all things happen (God) and focused more on yourself alone which is evident in your use of " I" "I did" "I did" "I did". Taking God out of the picture and projecting yourself all through. This would have also been your mind set which was what prolly shut you out of his presence and you ended up feeling empty and void making you think God doesn't exist.
Look, God says, it not by power nor by might ( which you have been on about with the so many " I did this and that" in your story so far) but by His spirit. Anything short of that, you are on your own just like you've ended up.
Remember what you're doing is a sin against the Holy spirit that can never be forgiven.
Try and read up on Bro jiggaz post to understand the true meaning of salvation and how works and religious activities don't qualify you for heaven or make you righteous. you simply overworked yourself to a weary point and fell because by strength Shall no man prevail.
IT IS NOT BY ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE BUT WHAT CHRIST DID ON THE CROSS. STOP FRONTING YOURSELF. JESUS IS AND SHOULD BE THE ONLY CENTER OF FOCUS BECAUSE HES THE ONLY ONE WHO EARNED IT AND WAS GIVEN A NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES. Lol, you're preaching to the choir here. The OP has forgotten those things happened, the devourer devoured his brain. 2Pe 1:9 KJV But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. |

LordReed: In other to encourage behaviours they want the framers of a religion will call the behaviours they don't want sin and for Christianity in particular there is a cure for sin which only the religion of Christianity can provide. In actuality there is nothing like sin because the so called god giving the divine mandates doesn't exist. What does exist is harmful acts to your fellow human beings and your environment, not to a god. Yet Jesus Christ cures sin thoroughly, freely and more efficiently than the billions of money and efforts spent on reform and correction facilities. The Bible's description and cure for these harmful acts is dead on spot on than all the papers professors have ever churned out. Keep deluding yourself. |

Bacteriologist: "Life as we know it" refers to Carbon based life. Life based on other elements might theoretically exist but we haven't found them, or know how to look for them.
So when we say we cannot find Life on a planet, we refer to carbon-based life, which is the one we know and can test for.
It's called basic science, rather than "shifting of goal posts."
And how really sensible of you to conclude that scientists sit on their bed and make conclusions about other planets. It not only sounds like something someone who has zero knowledge about how science works would say, it's also very rich coming from someone who believes what goat herders wrote in a middle aged adulterated book about the earth and the universe at a time where space exploration was practically impossible.
Maybe you should take your own advice, and stop believing in things that came from the least qualified people. Armchair scientist, lol. Drum this into your skull, there is no conclusion that life is not found in other planets. Your gods spend billions of dollars annually researching it. |

Gobdddd: Strickly for the married
Good evening tweeps, my marriage is jerking. Needs a quick solution.
We married 9years ago. She was a virgin in my Church. I am a pastor too. Though we were not in the same state. She was the first woman I had sex with after our marriage. But I noticed that she has no interest in anything called sex. She will not deny me sex, but I do not enjoy it because she's not enthused to it.
I have tried all I could to make her love sex, but all to no avail. If you do not demand for sex, she'll not show any interest, even if you stay one year without talking about it. And I am 100% sure that she's not seeing any man anywhere.
I took my time to educate her from the little research I made, but she wouldn't pay any serious attention.
I querried myself as to wether I do not satisfy her, on another point, sometimes, I'd last for 10-15 mins which, according to research is not bad.
Last night, I got angry at her attitude towards it. To me, she just try to open legs for me to satisfy myself and get down.
This has affected my psyche towards her. But apart from her low libido, she is a very wonderful and good woman to be with.
So, last night, I opened up to her once again and told her she's making me to think twice and that am not happy at her actions.
Since today, our relationship has dwindled.
Alot of things have been going through my mind.
I don't know what to do. Am confused. I can't go to another woman and leave such a good woman that have given me 4 kids.
Pls is there any known solution?
I need help. Oga pastor, you have been selfish and ignorant. You should be grateful for/to your fertile and faithful wife. You are always satisfied in sex but don't care about your wife's satisfaction, now you are unhappy that she is nonchalant. She sacrifices so much pain to see you fulfilled and satisfied. You should be ashamed of yourself and apologize to her. Pray tell, you have an orgasm every single time you sleep with your wife but your wife probably never had one in 9 years, yet she's always willing to receive you. Go and find out how to sleep with her without being selfish as you have always been. |

Bacteriologist: Life as we know it cannot possibly exist on all the neighbouring planets that we know of due to extreme atmospheric conditions. The most subtle atmospheric conditions are found on Mars and probably Venus, and there's still no reason to conclude that life is present there as well.
For the rest like Mercury, Jupiter, we can logically conclude that carbon based life does not /cannot exist on these planets. Of course, the solar system is the universe, isn't it? |

Christianity Etc › Re: Did The Devil Lie To You That He Was Second In Command To GOD?? by Image123(m): 9:33am On Sep 09, 2021 |
Incrizz: I had a dream that wasn't a dream but something like a vision but I was asleep. We were in a building that looked like a storey building. I was on the first floor with two guys and I could see outside below.
Now there was a crowd outside wanting to come upstairs through a staircase that connected to the floor where we were, from the ground where they were. There was a reason for it.
Word had gone out to the whole locale that "the thing" was coming. So people were trying to get to safety by coming into the building.
But the two guys closed the gate of the stairs and asked everyone to calm down, that the gate will be opened soon.
One of them had a paper in his hand and was talking to the other.
So I moved close to see what was in the paper and to hear what they were saying. But the guy with the paper noticed me and disapproved while I overheard him saying, "they said it will last for just a while and then stop". He was talking about the destruction of people by the "the thing".
So I moved away from them and went into the building to quickly get to the room where my hiding spot was, away from the danger. Because with every minute, we sensed the urgent need to get to safety, while the people downstairs who could not get into the building grew more and more impatient.
So as I rushed towards the room where I was supposed to hide, I saw that some people had managed to climb into the house through the sides and were running past me. People were now beginning to panic and run into the building anyhow they deemed fit.
As I got to the door of the room where I was supposed to hide, I heard a noise approaching.
My mind told me to quickly get into the room and hide but I felt a stronger need to see what it was that was approaching.
So instead of entering, I stopped by the door of the room where I was to hide and turned to look at what was making the noise, and it was "the thing"!
Even while I was still in this vision dreamlike state I could feel it in reality on my bed the shock of knowing that it was too late to run.
This "the thing" had an army, a crowd of mindless, consciousless people trudging and following him with their head down and their arms swaying from side to side as they moved.
It saw me and I saw it, like something in human form. The moment I saw it, I was unable to move or run. All this "the thing" did was to beckon with its hand and I started to trudge towards it, I could feel something rolling out of my eyes and body as I started to trudge towards it. It seemed like I was no longer in control.
All those people behind him were also people he had beckoned on and captured, lost souls. All those people that had run past me, ran into the direction it came out from.
Those two guys earlier had been lied to, they were expecting "the thing" to come from outside whereas it was already inside the building. And they were really trying to protect the people by simply following the instruction they were given.
The principal or leader who told them to keep people locked outside and open to them only when they see the "the thing" approaching only wanted to make it easy for the "the thing" to have a mass hypnotises, or whatever it was doing to people, rather than it seeking out the people one by one.
Because that is what it was doing. It was moving from block to block in the building, to add people to its army of mindlessness.
As I trudged towards it, I suddenly realised that I was still self aware, I was still me.
But I kept trudging towards them and the aim was to pretend to be one of them.
But I heard within me, "if you join them then you will most certainly become one of them!"
By this time, this "the thing" had just started to move along to get other people since it was sure I had been captured.
So I looked to my left and i saw an adjacent corridor that was overlooking outside and I immediately swerved to it as swiftly and as quietly as I could so as not to draw attention.
As I hurriedly walked away on the corridor, this "the thing" turned from where it was and saw that I had escaped. It could not come after me, because of its crowd, and because it was moving slowly and because it had a mission to capture everyone in the building before going for the crowd that was already waiting outside.
So I got down from the building and started running. And whereas, previously everyone had been running towards the building, I realised that there was now many of us running away, in the same direction for our lives. I was coming from the building but they were coming from many other directions and they somehow knew enough not to run to the building.
I also knew that when this "the thing" was done with the building, it will come after those who ran away.
I knew it had the ability to know where humans where. If one was inside a hole, it will wait there till the person died or came out for lack of survival.
One could escape by not looking at it. Once one looked, one became mindless and followed it.
Those who ran faster and farthest did not have any load on them.
Everyone who received in themselves the message to run for their lives but choose to go back to pick up one thing or the other first (because they felt they couldn't survive without it) e.g their knives or their bags, or their kids that they left behind did not make it back. They got lost. They were captured.
If I had not escaped when I was warned not to join them, not to pretend to be one of them, in hopes I could survive that way, I would have been lost.
Then I awoke.
When I woke up, I was so happy to realise that it had been dreamlike. But it was so real.
So I wondered up to GOD what this meant. And this is what I am sharing with you: When the time comes and GOD instructs you to move, don't look back like Lot's wife did. Run with what you have, your life and body. "Is not the life more important than meat and the body than clothes?"
There is a curse on turning back instead of running from where you are.
Let's say it is one's child that makes one want to return to the building to pick the child up; when one gets there, the child will not be there. The child will have been saved by someone else already or have already been captured. The "the thing" would know that one is coming and would know what one is coming to pick and would be waiting right there to capture.
Whatever it is you may be going back to pick, be it knife, money, bag, it is the same consequence. Those things will not keep you safe or alive. Only GOD can.
If you are on the roof top, do not go down into the house to pick up anything. This was just some kind of bad dream for you whatever the meaning and connotation you put to it. Try not to fix your mind and attention on stuff like this no matter how real it feels, but on the more sure Word of God. You'll be fine that way. |

The first thing though should be to find out why your church that you so much trust and don't want to leave is stopping you from "using your talent" and work on it. It's not a must to be heard. There is time for everything. Imagine if Moses or David went to form Tiktok or blog when their "talent" or dreams didn't immediately bloom. Paul was silent for some years in Arabia. Who knows maybe you are simply not ready yet, or need to really get what God wants. Who knows maybe you're being protected from crashing? So many things, life is not a linear equation. |

LordReed: I always forget how you guys are Masters of interpreting the Bible to say whatever you want it to say. Going by your standards throwing people down from high buildings is also biblical since the same Jehu ordered it, innit? Incest is also biblical since Lot did it, innit? And you the sly and subtle son of a serpent are not doing otherwise, are you? Like i said, you guys passed off a pitiable understanding and application of the word "biblical/scriptural". You keep goading him to produce something directly written in the Bible as biblical. You conveniently left out the fact that what is biblical/scriptural is not necessarily all/what is written in the Bible but what is approved by the Bible. Your royal folly will claim now that it is not biblical to use a microphone or a car, implying that it is not supported and approved by God. Whereas the Bible says that every good gift comes from God. Very simple and straightforward except for children of snakes of course. |
