OtemSapien: I think KingEbukasblog is more of a Christian Deism than just a Christian. I have never seen the guy speaking in favour of all the supposed fabulicious miracles ascribed to fictitious Jesus. The guy should just admit that he is a deist. There is no such thing as a christian deist. |
Christianity Etc › The Failure Of Christian Deism by JackBizzle(op): 2:01pm On Nov 01, 2017 |
Christian deism is a term for those who believe in christianity, especially the teachings of Jesus but reject the divinity and miracles.
It is an interesting take on christianity but it is deeply flawed;
1) It has glaring contradictions (an oxymoron) How can you be a deist who does not believe in personal gods but follow the teachings of a man who claims to receive instructions from a personal God in heaven? How can a "non-personal" God inspire people to write a bible?
2) It has no agreed meaning There are many schools of thought in christian deism, according to its wikipedia page. Christian deism encompasses classical deism and pandeism in its philosophy. Which is quite ridiculous. A pandeist God is far different from a classical deist God. A pandeist God is a science fiction God that fused himself with the universe after creating it- How does this even relate to christianity.
Also, different christian deists agree and disagree on various aspects of Jesus's teaching.
3) It is rejected by mainstream christianity as there is no church that preaches it.
4) Jesus himself was not a deist. He was a full on theist who believed in a personal God
5) Christian deism has no real morals as it picks and chooses whatever moral teaching from Jesus it likes |

Why didn't u type positive things about the catholic church there and if u won't see many expositories. Ur mind is biased and want to see evil I said "debates". Look for debates on youtube. Don't be acting dumb, please. There are formal debates with intellectuals. The evil of the catholic church overshadows the good. Is charity going to repair the torn buttocks of those children molested by priests? |

Ubenedictus: why not? Those 2 popes were not even liked by catholics. When I say catholics, I mean those who can think for themselves. Compare how these popes were treated with how pope Francis is being received. Those two popes were conservative douchebags. Pardon my french. They both had controversies of covering up child abuse and also having anti-condom stance |
Christianity Etc › Re: 4 Lists Of Popes Who Died During Sex by JackBizzle: 4:40pm On Oct 31, 2017 |
Ubenedictus: then I'm surprised on how you came to such conclusion... what criteria did you use in considering them as evil?
I'll encourage you to give the list of these evil guys so we see how they are more than the good ones... add their crimes. Who has time for that? All you need to do is to go on youtube and look at any debate on the catholic church. Western intellectuals hate the catholic church with passion. -anti condom stance to fight against aids -homophobia -sexism -Greed (See the bishop of bling) -covering up rapist priests who prey on children -Sadism (Mother Theresa, as an example who loved the suffering of the poor) -Inquistions -slavery The sins of the catholic church are many and have happen over hundreds of years. |

KingEbukasBlog: I'm a theist , you are an atheist , why are we talking about the bible ? Whether it is fallible or not does not question the existence of God . There are theists (deists) who criticize religious books and they acknowledge God's existence .
From my thread on Sunday we can see that atheism becomes more insignificant since it just rejects deification , nothing else . There are atheists who acknowledge intelligence or mind behind the universe but they don't deify it . Frustrating for Nairaland atheists isn't it ? With more knowledge , you'd see how useless atheism is . A clear piece of evidence that Ebuka knows that the bible is full of plot holes |

Ubenedictus: if there is a community that has humans and existed even for as little as 200 years, I won't be surprised if those humans made serious mistakes not to talk of when they've existed for over a millennia.
that popes, bishops priest, deacons and even Christians in general sometimes fall from grace and into sin is a fact... it cannot be denied... and I'll be stupid if I attempt to deny that truth. "Fall from grace" is an understatement. There have been more evil popes than good. Humans will always abuse power if not checked. The catholic church grants the pope as the highest representative of God- of course bad things are going to happen. |

Sir , JackBizzle has mental orgasms with the views and pages on his thread . He is trying as much as possible to make the argument interminable so people would see his "creative" thoughts about an entity whom he said with certitude does not exist. He is not interested in the knowing the truth . He is all about his perverse pleasure being made to look inferior , and the views and pages on his threads . All hail the king of liars. No one asked you or your pal butterflyl1on to come to this thread. This thread was meant for my thoughts alone but your pained self came to attack and derail. |

butterflyl1on: For some reason you keep jumping to mathematics (which is a construction of finite man) despite my repeatedly telling you that this isn't my focus.
Besides any mathematical sequence ALWAYS has a starting point. WE SIMPLY CHOOSE where to start from. Be it - or + there is a starting point to any number progression.
I keep saying one thing and you keep doltishly saying the very opposite like someone whose mind refuses to see that his very own OP is talking about GOD who isn't subject to human laws and definitions of infinity.
I give up on you. Just look at the nonsense you typed in bold. There is no beginning or end of a progression or sequence in mathematics or even in any infinite concept. Keep making a fool of yourself. No one forced you to come and attack me on my thread |

Ubenedictus: I can't find the Borgia pope there.
from what I understand the Borgia pope wasn't in any way an innocent man...he had his heavy sins...which were themselves exaggerated by his opponents... those opponent sometimes are cardinal who lost in the conclave.
but the guy was not innocent... he was an example of serious rot. Nice one. I admire your honesty on the dark history of the catholic church |

Ubenedictus: hope those reading this is aware that these accounts are rumours that appear centuries after the popes death... and usually from their opposition.
take this with a plate of salt because they are hardly impartial and usually hearsay. And the history of the Borgias? Was that rumour as well? |

butterflyl1on: Good you got it real quick unlike someone else who has been arguing ceaselessly over something too simple to miss.
Consider this line below
___________
If you go from left to right it actually began from somewhere and if you go from right to left it also began from somewhere. This is what we see and perceive as humans. So with this we can say that this line can be drawn to infinity FROM A STARTING POINT BACKWARD OR FORWARD.
But God has NO KNOWN STARTING POINT be it forward or backward as He is described. How daft. How can you say that numbers or a progression of numbers have a starting point? It would be like having an endless length of rope and claiming that a particular point is the starting point (from right to left or left to right). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- God has no known starting point abi? Just like all other non-existent abstract infinite concepts like numbers, time etc. But then, you engage in special pleading that unlike other infinite concepts, God's value cannot increase infinitely. Interesting |
Christianity Etc › Re: Creative Thoughts About God (A Compilation) by JackBizzle(op): 6:52pm On Oct 30, 2017 |
butterflyl1on: Progression is only attributable from the point of first knowing a starting point.
NOTE the thread talks about God whose starting point is UNKNOWN and whose description declares him as EVERLASTING or EXISTING AD INFINITUM ( THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER)
God is infinity itself and does not need to increase in any form as your question depicted. Time as we know it is an extract from what already was. It was extracted from a time beyond it which cannot be measured.
For something that has NO BEGINNING AND NO END it means it is a constant and simply is what it is and does not try to become something else be it via increase, age, strength, wisdom, knowledge, etc. It is simply ALL AND IN ALL. Your first sentence in bold is false. No geometric or arithmetic progression truly has a starting point Consider this 3, 5, 7, 9....... This arithmetic progression could go forwards or backwards without end. It truly has no beginning or end, yet it is a progression. Checkmate |

When something ends, its like progression stops. For something that has no end means it progresses, it continues without ever stopping. Infinity increasing infinitely might not be exactly wrong. |

butterflyl1on: This is what I call infinity.
The size it can potentially become IT CAN ALSO BE. In other words, infinity does not need to become anything which it already is.
Saying can infinity increase (infinitely) is to look for a starting point for this increase. That starting point can only be related to man but to God who holds no known beginning (starting point) then where and how can you begin to talk about an increased infinity?
In conclusion, infinity from Gods perspective is not known for an increase but known for an existing existence without a beginning and without an end. Existing ad infinitum. Oga. Stop pulling out things from your behind. Try to use logic. Infinity has no value. It can never be measured because it keeps on going. The basic idea of infinity comes from numbers. Pick anything that is said to be infinite and it is a number/mathematical problem of measurement. Size of the universe? Infinite measurement of billions of miles that could keep on increasing. Earliest point in time? Infinite measurement of years in the past that keeps on going. Largest number? Infinite size of numbers that keeps on increasing on the number-line If something is infinite, it keeps on increasing/decreasing in some value or quantity forever. That is a basic and logical illustration of infinity that even children can understand. So, you claiming that infinity means something else for your God is just a pack of lies and bullshite |

LordAdam16: @KingEbukasBlog
I think the biggest issue with this thread is that you failed to give a holistic definition of what god is. If you believe in god, it shouldn't be difficult for you to define "god."
@AgentOfAllah
Riddle me this. It's entirely hypothetical. Assuming
1. there's only one universe (not a multiverse) 2. we currently have an estimate of its diameter (or at least the observable universe) 3. we know it is expanding
What could possibly exist beyond the universe? And if nothing exists beyond the universe, is the universe expanding into nothingness?
I'm quite familiar with the astronomical conjecture that if you travel far enough, you'll return to the same point. If you look far enough, you'll see the back of your head. Aka the edgeless universe. But an edgeless universe is not necessarily an infinite universe. It's like traveling around the world in an aircraft. If you travel far enough on a transverse plane in one direction, you'll return to the same starting point. If you started walking away from your house in one direction, you'll eventually return to your house.
The concept of infinity in nature is near non-existent. Theoretically, it exists. In nature though, its not a foregone conclusion. If the universe is in fact infinite, then it by no means has a beginning. Just like 0 is not the start of positive infinity. Negative infinity is. And negative infinity itself is an abstract concept that cannot technically be called a "beginning." In which case, it'd be technically false to say the universe was birthed with the big bang, if it is infinite. The big bang would be one of an infinite number of cataclysmic events that ushered in a new reality. A reality of stars, planets, dark matter, and the whole shebang.
The initial singularity that caused it would in fact be the preceding reality before ours. And since no one can estimate how long the initial singularity lasted, it could very well be a reality of its own or mark a transition period between two different realities. And there'd be no way to know how far back it goes. Because quite frankly, there'd be no beginning. It also means this present reality will end. Because earth will die. The sun will die. Around the universe planets and stars are going kaboom. But it also means that if the universe is infinite, then only this reality will end and a new reality would pop in its place.
