Logicboy03: Even more ignorance!

Human beings have progressed because of smarter people and advances in science. Higher life expectancy, faster transport etc


Today, Jesus wouldnt ride on a donkey, he would drive in with a Benz.


However, dumbazzes like yourself have slowed us down. Instead of using condoms, we now have numerous bastardz that overpopulate Nigeria. Thanksvto your abti contraceptive preaching and anti -abortion nonsense. When last diid you drive in Lagos without traffic jam in the afternoon?


Foolish religious people like you love to be ignorantand hate science. Sorry, bu the world has progressed as we have become smarter. We have many methods of communicating with loved ones around the world. We have monietary systems both with cash and cashless sytesms rather than trade by barter.

Only a fool will claimbthat being smarter has not given us pogress in the world

onetrack: Wrong. Health care is much better than 100 years ago, even if it hasn't reached all corners of the world. People making it to 80 years old is now the norm (and most of them still have their teeth!). Infant mortality has been drastically reduced!!

The number of people exposed to the direct effects of war is now at an all-time low as a percentage of the world population, even if the news channels make it seem as though the world is engulfed in war. In other words, this decade has been the most peaceful in recorded history.

Sin, happiness, and sorrow are all, unfortunately, subjective and cannot really be measured as such. And as long as there are human beings these will all exist in large amounts.

Afrobasic: you have got to be kidding me... god hope of a better world is it not the same being in your book that commanded the killing of the Amalekites(women and children)?? or Allah that comands you to kill your brothers because they're not muslims the ?... pls tell me you're joking

A smarter world is a better world. Why?
1)Smart people would never cause you harm just because of your belief.
2)Smart people are always organised
3)Smart people solve their problems using their brains instead of waiting on some igod to help them.
and so on...

Logicboy03: This guy is dull.

Kai....I would prefer to sleep in hell than to stay in the same heaven with you and your christian ‘anti-intellectualism’

How can a sane human being calim that we dont need a smarter world? He even indirectly says that a smrter world is not a better world?!!

Is it paining you that scientists in developed countries are atheists or tht microsoft, sony, nairaland, facebook are onwned and run by atheists?


Guy, a smarter world will make better decisions for the planet. Get some sense

Uyi Iredia: You equivocate by holding love to mean not to kill which, I repeat, isn't explicitly stated: the Israelites killed themselves like when Moses killed some of the golden calf worshippers on coming down from Mount Sinai.

Kay 17: @image123



But Agag didn't do anything wrong! And Samuel had said the rationale for the extermination of Amalekites was the fact the Amlekites in previous generations had attacked the Israelites in the desert when they were helpless!

alexleo: Brethren lets look at at the attitude of the apostles when God used them to perform miracle and compare it with what it is today among our pastors and G.Os.

Acts 3:11.

11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?


Acts 14:14

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,


From this two passages we saw the apostles resisting any attempt to be idolized by the people for the miracles they performed. Peter and John rebuked the crowd not to look at them as powerful men, Paul and Barnabas tore their clothes and jumped into the crowd telling them that they were human beings just like them.

What do we see among pastors today in their miracle parade or charade?

1. They enjoy being idolized and being regarded as powerful men of God, while the apostles rebuked and rejected any form of idolization totally.

2. Today's pastors make a show in the name of miracle service by showing it on Tv, web and in crusades where crowd will gather and watch them as they conduct the so called miracle. Each miracle attracts a thunderous applause from the crowd while the pastors face beams with smiles, walking or running from one end of the altar to the other as part of the showmanship. The apostles did theirs silently and resisted any form of applause or glorification.

3. Today's pastors feel highly powerful and untouchable. After the miracle service their myriads of security men surrounds them as they majestically walk out of the venue while the helpless congregation look with such desires to touch even the hem of pastor's suit. The apostles rented their clothes and jumped into the crowd who felt they were gods, telling them they were just mere mortals like them.

4. Today's pastor collects thanksgiving offering for miracles. Infact they will preach you into doing it even if you dont feel like. The apostles never did such a nonsense.

5. Today's pastors preach miracle as if thats the only and major thing in the bible. Miracle preaching takes a greater percentage of their sermon. In their crusade billboards and adverts they show a picture of wheel chairs and cover the whole billboard with deliverance from this and that. The apostles preached only Jesus and his kingdom. At no time did we see miracle being their sermon, yet they healed people.

6.The apostles and even Jesus healed people on the streets, pool side, temple gate and anywhere but today's pastor must heal mostly in the church or crusade ground where offerings could be collected and the media department of the church will be able to capture the show so as to send it on Television for showmanship in order to attract more worshipers which translates to more money for pastor and his church(personal estate).

7. When the apostles healed, they pointed the people to Jesus but today's pastor heals and points the people he healed to himself and his church.

Now why cant this men of God in all their power and majesty move round the streets of Nigeria like Jesus and the apostles and heal the madmen and the handicapped scattered everywhere?

All these are happening among some of our pastors today because of greed and desire for fame. Did John the baptist not say that Jesus will increase while he decreases? But today's pastor is working so hard to increase while Jesus decreases. This is bad. People should open their eyes and resist this show of shame in Christendom . we have not learned so of Christ. God bless you.

thehomer: Okay assume I don't know what the purpose of the flood was. Can you tell me what the purpose of the flood was?

God wasn't just punishing criminals, he was also punishing the 2 year old child who had nothing to do with the crime. Notice too that locking criminals in jails is to make the society safer. God killing everyone wasn't to make society safer. So what was his reason?

Saying that God is goodness means that God isn't an actual entity that exists but is an abstract concept like numbers. i.e it is no better than saying God is what "Redness" is or God is what "Fiveness" is.

Well the purpose you've stated here has nothing to do with morality so you may want to pick another purpose. After all, Charles Taylor using child soldiers doesn't stop man from having dominion.

Once again, you've ignored something clear and direct. How does being able to give one's child one's shoes mean that you can kill their 6 month old baby if they kill someone else?

Did they commit the crimes? Once again, you've decided to run from the direct question. Call it pity age or whatever you like but simply answer the question. So can you tell me what the 6 month old child has done that it deserves to be killed? I'm using 6 month old to make the reasoning easier for you to respond to.

The quotes don't say that God will never again order genocide.

What you're saying amounts to might makes right. You seem to be saying that since the judge can do what others cannot do, therefore what he does is right. Well, guess what? I disagree with that notion. The fact that Abacha could order someone to be killed while others couldn't doesn't mean his order is right.

If God is a person then I have a right to judge him whether or not he is more powerful than I am.

Kay 17: The present generation of Amalekites were held accountable for the sins of their fathers, the attack against the Israelites in the desert. My contention is the wrongdoer or doers is absent! Hence the purpose of justice is defeated.

Uyi Iredia: Telling people to love their neighbour or enemies doesn't explicitly tell them not to kill which is what I meant by my request.

grandstar: For there is no man righteous that keeps doing good and does not sin.(eccl 7:20). If we make the statement "We have no sin"we are misleading ourselves and the truth is not in us(1 john 1:(read ps 51:5). Do these verses do justice to your question?
