This story is oviously for the gullible. Try harder next time. |
^^^^^^^@Greatgenius, my comment comes after the forward slash (/). My device couldn't handle the post because of the length. |
greatgenius: thats the point of this whole discussion. get you thinking/////// It's working. |
greatgenius: The presence of God? Where is this presence you talk of ... Why can't the wicked stand in the presence of God? .Are the "wicked" always not in her presence at all times? - or you think otherwisehmmmn, that got me thinking. Wrong choice of words I guess. Pure ways or not why should anyone dread or develop a cold feet in the presence of an unconditional loving deity? Is God's love based on a condition or unconditional?...does she love the just and abhors the ways of the unjust? Is it possible for an unconditional loving God to judge or even punish? ..Isn't GOD the ultimate judge? Isn't there any repercussion for wrong doing? BTW who and what is The All That is to you.. maybe we should start from there..YAHWEH! |
^^^ This is a new one {the part about no one in Africa having the Holy Spirit} |
greatgenius: i do understand where you coming from now.. but even at that, understand that cant behold and dare not behold carries two different meanings...Okay. why should a so called "loving" God be feared..You have a point there. However, the wicked can't stand in the presence of God. You only have nothing to fear if your ways are pure. thats good. been doing same lately myself..Cool. One mustn't get addicted to this site. |
Mr anony: Claims like "God is just a title" really need scriptural back upreally? What does the word "god" mean? Lol, as I said, you are not ready for a serious discussionAm I not? But wait, is a belief in the trinity a prerequisite for salvation? |
Mr anony: I don't know what point you think I got.Some things don't need to be in the bible before they can be verified to be true. Lol, seriously? You are welcome to open a thread and then we can discuss your "egyptian trinity"Not gonna do that. The Christian concept of trinity is confusing enough. |
Mr anony: This example is unrelated to the discussion we are having.You get my point. Lol, you haven't been paying attention to your bible then. I am also sure that if I asked you to provide an example of pagan trinity where they believe in one tripersonal God, you won't.The Egyptian pair of Osiris, Isis and Horus is just one out of many examples of pagan conceptions of trinity. btw, I've sent you my number, give me a buzz sometimeHaven't seen it yet. {kindly resend it to chinedudaniel7@gmail.com} |
Mr anony: You'll have to show from scripture in order to make that claim.I am the son of my father. Oh! Wait, I guess I'll have to validate this truth with the scriptures too. I don't see how this relates to a biblical discussion about Trinity. You are always free to start another thread to discuss these "similarities"There is no biblical discussion about trinity because the trinity isn't biblical, it is a pagan concept . |
psky: Hmm...so you brushed aside all those pictures of God in story books?I never came across any image of God in story books. Pls tell me when you started envisioning God to be this white light, I mean there must have been some point when you developed such an incredulous perception of him right?Like I said in my initial post, from a young age I have always envisioned God that way. |
Mr anony: Short story: You have no biblical evidenceIf you want to put it that way. Doesn't mean it is a lie though. Then you are not ready for serious discourseOkay, let's say I agree with you and you are correct. How do you explain the glaring similarities between the commonly accepted Christian doctrine of trinity and the pagan conceptions that came before it? Hmm, too bad. You can send me a private message via Nairaland thoughWill do that bros. |
greatgenius: Your statement was beautiful until @bolded..why did you think(im assuming you still dont have that perception)no one dared beheld something with that beauty?You miunderstand me. We can't behold GOD in the same way that we can't look at the sun {with our unaided eyes} ..should God be feared?No and yes! how you been btw- long timeI'm fine god brother, I just decided to stay off nairaland for a while. |
... |
You mean the creator of the universe, the source of love and the source of all life. How do you expect me to have imagined such a being? Well, as a child, I just thought of God as Pure white light radiating with beauty and with glory that no eye can dare behold. I still have the same image till now. |
Wow! I really wasn't expecting this thread to hit the frontpage. Too many comments to go through. Lemme take my time {might not be able to reply anyone though} |
A splendid afternoon to everyone. I want us to have a discussion based on the title of this thread. Is faith a negation of reason? There has been a great many number of people who over the centuries have claimed that faith and reason are incompatible but is that true? Do religious beliefs fly in the face of all reason? Let's consider this: there have been many strongly held scientific beliefs that have been proved to be wrong but that doesn't necessarily mean that all scientific beliefs are wrong or are not based on reason. Why then do we have to view religious beliefs any differently? |
musKeeto:Why na? Art thou engaged in combat with an Image of numbers? |
musKeeto: Jealous!!!Broda Muskeeto, you be woman? Why art thou jealous o son of an insect? |
Mr anony: You'll have to show where you found the bolded in scripture.It is common knowledge and besides, it doesn't have to be mentioned in scriptures before we agree that it is correct. The gestation period for dogs is 9 weeks, do we have to find it in the scriptures before we agree that it is correct? "GOD"is just a title shikena. Secondly statement 11 is the inevitable conclusion you get to if all preceding 10 statements are true. wouldn't you agree?No, I don't agree since "God" is just a title. Uhm can't post my phone number here mate. Have you still got my email addy?Lost that too. The email I used to register on nairaland was just a temporary one, it doesn't store messages {or addresses} for long. |
seyibrown: How are you getting on?Still a babe in Christ. Hopefully, I'm back on track permanently. |
Thanks @ all for your contributions on this issue. God does exist and I am one with him. |
Mr anony: Lol, let's see how honest you are being; Would you agree that if I can show you bible verses supporting each of the statements from 1 to 10, statement 11 will be your inevitable conclusion?The word "God" is just a title hence it can be used to refer to both Christ and the Holy Spirit. What I want you to show me is a verse that explicitly states that the Father {God} is one being and yet three persons at the same time. By the way, how far? I no come see you for whatsapp again?Money constraints bro, had to sell my phone. The current one I'm using does not support the application. Hope to get a new one soon. I even lost your number when my sim got damaged, could you kindly resend it? |
11. God is one being and three persons@op, why don't you post a bible verse that supports this statement. |
okeyxyz: Obviously you miss the simple message of @Anony. This is a thread for people how want to discuss or debate christian theology/doctrine. If you were not so eager to jump(and comment) before even thinking you wouldn't be dragging krishna, allah, etc into this thread.Mr attacker, I only added them to expatiate on my point that "GOD" is just a title. Yahweh can be "God", Allah can be "God", Krishna can be "God". Saying Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is God doesn't hold much water. |
Trinity again!!! In summary, "God" is just a title and it can be used to address Jesus, Yahweh and the Holy Spirit. Even Allah, Krishna, Horus, Mithras, Sango, Amadioha etc etc all lay claim to the title. But one thing's for sure, heaven isn't big enough for three Gods. |
striktlymi: I guess maybe because, I am not just the prophecy seeking type...Maybe you just dismissed her because of your preconcieved notion about people in such outfits (and her "Obadiah-like" bell) Lol!!!. E be lyk say na d reason why u shout 4 d woman be dat. ........................... On a side note, U for take style toast am now! |
striktlymi: Yea, it happened to me.She obviously never expected you to react the way you did. Why didn't you engage her in a conversation just to understand her prophecy? She might have been referring to a future event. ................................... On a side note, I'm just curious to know why you don't have a girl friend. |
Hahahahahaha. @Striktlymi, is this story based on a true life event? |
musKeeto: And that's why some make the case that the purpose of prisons should be for reform not condemnation.Is it possible for, let's say, a serial killer (who obviously derives pleasure from killing people) to be reformed? |
musKeeto: Long time.. where u go hide?I just decided to stay off nairaland in order to get my acts together. Hopefully, I will stay on this new path without getting all confused and I won't have to second-guess myself. |
Interesting read @op |
