Nextt: Did Jesus heal every blind person, every deaf, every mute, every paralytic He came across? He healed only those who had faith to be healed. The miracles of God are not like magic you can learn by purchasing a Magic Made Easy Guide or Do It Yourself Book of Magic. Without faith, nothing happens even if a person prays for months. Yup. I'm talking about those who had faith here(as in christians). Not random unbelievers. These christians with all their faith etc are still unhealed. The only ones you hear that are healed are unknown christians. The Christian celebs like Yinka Ayefele, Cobham Asuquo etc don't get healed cos the miracle go cast |

Dtruthspeaker: When Christians used to say :by faith" they could accomplish anything you atheists never accepted it. You always insisted in direct and physical confirmation.
But here you are i now ask for direct physical confirmation of how a person touches me with his eyes and I felt it and now you are blowing grammar saying phantom shit.
The bottomline is that you can't answer the question. Period. So you lost.  Nobody touches anyone with eyes. Its a gut feeling one feels about being watched, which may or may not be incorrect Grow a brain |

It is necessarily self-existent, and this is deduced in logic and philosophy. What's the meaning of this? Do you know what logic is? You just committed a fallacy now. Special pleading is an informal fallacy wherein one cites something as an exception to a general or universal principle, without justifying the special exception. |

Nextt: Please reread the post I made in reference to the bolded to verify whether I asked the question or not.
When you see a work of art, a paint or picture you do not ask who painted it but you subconsciously accept the fact that a painter is behind it. The painter may be anonymous, he may be dead or alive, he may be black or white. You don't care or seek evidence of a painter behind a paint because you know brush strokes cannot move on their own to create a logical picture. You just know someone is behind it though that someone may not be known to you.
You can admit testimonial and documentary evidence in the court of law but when it comes to the bible you consider it hogwash. This double standard is glaring. As with the painter, who may leave a note through an agent to verify his ownership of the paint such written evidence is admissible or considered authentic enough to lay his claim to the paint. This is exactly what happened thousands of years ago before any exploration into space was made, He who formed the earth said it is a circle in His Word. A manufacturer has a manual of how a product or device operates. The bible is also God's manual of his creation. Galileo would have been saved the stress of proving that the earth is round if only he had simply made reference to the book of Isaiah.
It is gross fallacy to think empirical evidence can match every kind of reality. For example, do you have any explanation for how the imagination can be objectively observed? You can't see mine neither I yours. Does that mean it doesn't exist? Science can tell there is imagination but cannot prove it. Maybe you can provide the empirical evidence of memory, consciousness, and morality.
On the nature of the existence of God, who created and exists outside time and space, asking evidence of His existence is simply shallow thinking. Scientific methods used to verify the existence of anything is severely limited to phenomena subject to time and space. It is like fitting the entire universe into your little laboratory. As impossible as it is there is more hope for that than to fit God, who created the universe and exists outside it, into observable, testable methods. It is like looking for the evidence of the presence of a matchbox company in the matchbox product itself. Lols.
Finally, an artist signs his name on his paint. That is his badge. You can read this last bit up and make your findings. DNA mapping has been discovered to include the name of God in every living thing. The numerological DNA sequence reads YHWH in the Hebrew language. It is encoded in the DNA of all living things. That is the artist signing His work. 1. Not all documentary or testimonial evidences are admitted in court. Just few and they are usually scrutinized. The bible as an evidence falls apart in scrutiny 2. It might interest you that the people that opposed Galileo were in fact the church. The Christians who were told in the bible that the Earth was flat, and felt Galileo was committing a heresy by implying the Babble was wrong, and he nearly paid with his life. Also Isaiah said the earth is FLAT. Read it 3. We can't use empirical evidence for everything, because some words are nebulous. Lemme explain. We can't see truth, can we? But know it exists. But we have seen objects that portray truth, like your true parents etc. Another example is reasoning. We can't see reasoning but we have its products like scientific ideas, people committing murders etc. About god, we can't see any evidence. If we see trees, there is no evidence it came from god. 4. By the way, even if we assume everything came from god, how do we know its your favorite sky daddy and not Flying Spaghetti Monster, Thor etc? And who created god since everything MUST have a creator? 5. There are no sulfur bonds in the human DNA. This sequence bullshit has been debunked by scientists but does it stop Babble thumpers from using it? Hell no. Ya'll dont depend on evidence. You run on hearsay and lies |

I haven't skipped anything because that's not what you asked me. You are the one claiming these things where made by your god so the onus is on you to provide the evidence that it is so. Your incredulity about the natural processes that bring about the formation of the sun, earth and life are all your problem not mine, so it all lies on you to provide the evidence that these natural processes are being conducted by your god. These christians are so ignorant about science. I wonder where they were when these things were taught in high school. Or is it evidence of our poor educational system? |

Nextt: It is easy to say the gravitational pull of the sun causes the movement of the earth. It is easy to say nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium is the reason for the sun's self-sustaining energy over billions of years. That is like saying a car moves when the engine burns fuel and converts the heat of the fuel into traction by which the car can operate. What company designed the car? If I wanted a sun or moon with my name on it and customized to my desire where do I go to have one made for me? What designed it? Did the sun create itself? Did the earth create itself? Did life create itself? If so, why is life absent on other planets we know? These are the questions you have skipped skillfully. Its like you're like Dliespeaker. Science isnt your forte. There are artificial suns. There are planets with oxygen like Venus, in fact, we haven't finished discovering all the exo-planets, and some of them have been speculated to have life. I suggest you read up more science |

Nextt: You have artfully dodged the question. The Word of God said a thousand years is like a day in the sight of God and a day is like a thousand years. Going by that, two days (two thousand years) is well within the context of 'soon' or 'quickly'. You can't deny knowing how people usually describe the passage of weeks and months as fast by saying, "Days are fast!". It is not even two days (two thousand years). The issue here is you said he hasn't returned since then as if He gave a specific timeframe. I hope you will specifically point that fact out, and leave no room for guesswork, not by hanging your argument on an abstract adverb - 'quickly'
Who made the waters for the ships to sail? Can you or any scientist living create an ocean? Do you have the technology to create a star like the sun much less billions of stars in the galaxy? Who made the heaven for the planes to fly? Can you create the clouds to give rain and float in the sky? Every cloning attempt has suffered fatal failure following a very short spell of success. You think creating man and animals na beans? Why can't your scientists replicate the feat? I cannot begin to highlight the complexity behind the 'simple' creations you see that makes your so-called planes, ships and technological innovations look like primitive devices in comparison. The wisdom with which God created the comet, the galaxies, the planets, the seasons - which one can primitive science accomplish? The technology alone to make the earth from nothing is trillions of light years away from what science is able to achieve and can ever dream of achieving and you gloat on the use of ships and plane. Gosh. Lol. Like the Being who created the seas needs your wooden or metal ships to cross the seas? Lol. This error of logic is beyond me.
And there are yet many places still living in the darkness of ignorance. God is a just and righteous God.
God does not count time the way you do. After the fall of Adam, He did not send Jesus immediately to die for the sins of mankind. It would take more than 5,000 years later for the Lord Jesus to appear from the time of Adam. When the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians God waited 400 years to send a deliverer to them. If the Lord Jesus had returned before now, how would the prophecy about the Antichrist and the completion of the third temple in Israel be fulfilled? We see that already happening in our time but the end will not be until this is done. God has laid a calendar of events that must be fulfilled before the end. That is the reason for the delay besides His mercy and grace of repentance. Lastly, before technology God spread His Word; without it His Word will still be spread by leaps and bounds. Nothing can hinder its progress. Nothing and you know it. 1. Scientists have created artificial rain, sea, stars, embryo, animals etc. Try and read 2. I thought u guys always blast atheists for thinking the Earth came from nothing? Now you're saying the same thing. Lol 😆 |

Dtruthspeaker: Gravity is not in the place we call space if we accept the hearsay of those who say they have gone to space, so clearly someone packed it here exactly how climate control works in our car.
And gravity cannot create itself exactly as the climate control did not create itself . So the proof of God is all over the place for every person to see and only unreasonable devils and of course devils are always haters of God that is why you are the only ones who deny God's honour. No reasonable person does that only devils like you. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That's what gives you weight. And if you were on a planet with less mass than Earth, you would weigh less than you do here. Like I always tell you 'STAY AWAY FROM ANY SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE. YOUR BRAIN ISNT SUITABLE FOR IT' |

[/b]Phillip was translocated to the path of the Ethiopian Eunuch so that He could explain the scriptures to the Ethiopian. Paul went by ships to different nations to preach. Besides, I also mentioned people where the light of civilization has not shone. Do they read books, watch TVs, surf the internet? In the midst of this technological advancement, there are billions without formal education. Many must have heard the word preached in the language they can understand but books and the internet are useless in propagating the gospel to reach this class of people.
Again, you mentiond [b]'nearly 2000 years of history...' as if Christ gave a timeframe of His return and has failed to do just that. I will like to see that evidence now if you don't mind.

Nextt: Exactly my point. How did it come to be? Can the process be replicated? Why is the earth rotating on its axis and making a revolution round the sun which we call a year? A car moves and we know why but the planets also move and what fuels their movement? Why does earth support life but other planets don't? Is it a random occurrence or random selection? What made the sun, the earth, the stars? What governs their movement? Can you explain any of these? 1. Because the amount of gravity exerted by the sun is so much more than the Earth's gravitational pull, the Earth is forced into an orbit around the sun. The sun's gravity pulls the Earth toward it the same way it does to all the other planets in the solar system. It is similar to the way the Earth has captured the moon. That is how it forms days and seasons. 2. Apart from Earth, Venus has oxygen which is a requirement for life. Other Earth-like exoplanets are in existence light years away. Read up more here https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-discover-a-planet-with-the-potential-to-support-life-180980733/3. The Sun formed about 4.6 billion years ago in a giant, spinning cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. As the nebula collapsed under its own gravity, it spun faster and flattened into a disk. This is why I say religion is for the ignorant. And thrives in ignorant societies like Nigeria. And you're a nice product of this ignorance |

The real destruction is doing press up. Fire, the kind that will guzzle the whole earth with everything in it and still be hungry is on its way, reserved, and you are lamenting about mere war and destruction.
God will not exercise His power to appeal to your false sense of righteousness. Your (all men's) righteousness is like used and overused rags in His sight. As long as there is sin there will be destruction. That effect is only a cosmetic solution to present danger. God will not use His power to erase destruction while sin, the source of destruction, continues unabated. It is exactly like spraying perfume in an environment of garbage dump (sin) to eradicate a stench (destruction). The pleasing aroma lasts only seconds butnit won't take long reality will set in because the stench from the dump persists. This is why the world is reserved for fire to burn up the refuse (the world and all those who have rejected Christ). Until then, God is giving the grace, as long as you still breathe, to change your ways and turn to Him. But he killed some babies without them repenting |

The Gospel must first be preached to everyone in the world including those who are cut off from civilization. Secondly, the prophecies that precede His return have not come to pass especially the prophecy about the mountain of God (Christianity) being exalted above the world's system of living and His last effort to reach mankind by sending His Spirit of repentance to the whole world so that people will cry in repentance to Him without needing a preacher. As it is appointed for each and every one of us to stand before Christ in judgment, so shall His return. It is appointed and there is no going back. His delay is His grace of repentance to the world to turn from the sins that decay them to His light of salvation. So what about those that didn't hear your gospel and died. Would they go to hell? |

Isaiah 55:11 11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it
Psalms 145:18-19 King James Version (KJV) The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
