Logicboy03: Wassap everyone cheesy



Hey, I need your help again.


So, at church there is this girl who I have been eyeing.......well, the thing about catholics is that different catholics have their favourite times for mass...some go to church at 6AM, some at 8AM some at evening mass.....so, this girl and I always go to the same mass.


I tell you, it was love at first sight. I think that there is a way 2 people know that they like each other from the way they look at each other. Funny enough, the fateful day came when we sat together by ACCIDENT...someone asked if we were brother and sister because we are both light skinned and both wore corporate dressing, we both laughed and looked at each other.....the conversation never stopped from there.


Now, the problem is that she is a liberal catholic just like I was.. She pings on bb in church. My atheism would only make her worse. I know her parents because they sometimes come to the same mass. They are staunch catholics. I dont want to let her go but I also do not want her to lose faith because of me- knowing what her parents could be like.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Pastors Collect Tithes From The Poor, Widows And Orphans by Joshthefirst(m): 9:29am On Oct 08, 2013
Gombs: What gladdens my heart is that NO MATTER the number of threads anti tithers open on a daily basis, irrespective of how they twist the topic to try and buy solidarity for their cause, they ALWAYS fail. The other thread where they opened to give testimonies about stopping tithing is a good example. Almost all comments are pro tithers. Funny enough, pro tithers don't proliferate threads ie open threads daily asking folks to tithe. God cannot be mocked. He knows his own. He is watching you all!

Name one anti tithe Church that has a global congregation! Or let's leave global level, how many of them have influence (membership base) in the country?

What's even more baffling is that, these tithing churches has brethren that are a million time smarter than folks who seem smart, by saying pastors eat tithes. I'm very smart, I don't do things I know don't work.

In other words, I'm saying to Goshen, Kunle, Christembassey, and their crew are your churches bigger and better than

RCCG
WINNERS
ECWA
COCIN
BAPTIST
METHODIST
CHURCH OF GOD MISSION
DUNAMIS
KICC
SYNAGOGUE CHURCH OF ALL NATION
CHRIST EMBASSY
ANGLICAN
CATHOLIC
DLBC
Just to mention a few

If you belong to any of the above churches and you still don't tithe, because you think you are smarter than those that do, I can understand why, but then let's watch and see how we all(tithers and anti tithers) end.


Emmm, Kunle, Candour has been unusually quiet lately. Hope he is in Good health?
I love ecwa. They're truly evangelical. They're truly fulfilling the great commission

Yes. God gave man authority
Adam became the 'god' of this world. He was to enfore and dominate and subdue this realm with God's light.
But man rebelled and satan became the 'god' of this world

God intervened. He still intervenes today through the ones he has set free from satans dominion.

But man still rebels
Why do you rebelhuh
Why do you rebel against God?

Very soon, all sin and rebellion will be crushed under the wrath of judgement.

Repent logicboy. For the kingdom of God is at hand; Now more than ever before.

This is the message we preach.

@ lb and musk
You see why I said you need God
You don't know him or his thoughts and plans and actions
You think God created humans just for worship smh.

It's a shame.

Here's what God had in mind when he made you:
Genesis 1:
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Logicboy03: 1) No creation. My body is evidence that human beings evolved. Simple. It is not evidence for God. God is not written anywhere on my body or on any animal for that matter. Psychology and science predict human behaviour, religion doesnt. In fact, science can explain religion but religion can never explain science.


2) I will make you a deal; if you heal an amputee, I will become a christian and tithe all myhard earned nair n pounds to any church or christian organisation. halleluyah!
I'm not after your hard earned money my friend. I have your best interests at heart, believe it or not. Being a christian is not about religious obligations and ritualistic nonsense. It's not about giving tithes. It's about knowing God, eternal life. The real deal. Do not let my words stand against you.
Christianity EtcRe: Atheism Is Irrational. by Joshthefirst(m): 8:52am On Oct 08, 2013
aManFromMars: Evidence for who? The creator or the created?

Did God need us to be God? Coz if seems without us, he's pretty useless. And bored.
God doesn't need you to be God. He was God before you existed. He just doesn't want his child to perish for his sins

Logicboy03: I tire oooo.....

They keep shouting evidence for God but never put any forward.....
you are enough evidence. Creation is enough evidence. The fact that the bible tells about your stance and accurately & completely analyzes and predicts human behaviour is enough evidence

What more do you want?
Don't worry, I'll come and hold a crusade in your house grin grin
When you see the sick healed and miracles performed and the hand of God in words, you MIGHT believe grin
Christianity EtcRe: Atheism Is Irrational. by Joshthefirst(m): 8:18am On Oct 08, 2013
Logicboy03: lol......I was waiting for this.

Remember, there were two conditions

-low probability
-not a single shred of evidence


Well, there is historical evidence for people using planes as weapons to blow up stuff. There was low probability of the airplane crash but evidence that planes could hit buildings

I think I should have given a more abstract example that resonates with god
==================================


Now God doesnt pass either of these conditions
I was commenting on the example you gave for pete's sake.

Here's a question: could it be that you willfully ignore the evidences and sureties of God's existence?

Logicboy03: Read my comment again....FAIL!!!
Christianity EtcRe: Atheism Is Irrational. by Joshthefirst(m): 8:02am On Oct 08, 2013
Logicboy03: Wrong.


A possiblity without a single shred of evidence or reasonable probability has no consequence.

It is possible that a plane could fall on my house as i am typing. Very low probability and no evidence that it will happen....hence, my building isnt protected with anti-aircraft technology
I wonder if someone was thinking this in his house when the dana aircraft crashed into it. He must have been thinking "there is extremely low probability that an aircraft will crash into my house" those in the WTC on 9/11 must have also dismissed a terrorist plane crashing into their building too. This is just an example.
Smh

Christianity EtcRe: Atheism Is Irrational. by Joshthefirst(m): 7:46am On Oct 08, 2013
Logicboy03: It is possible that our universe came from another universe. Many scientists are testing this hypothesis.


Does that mean that these scientists believe that our universe came from another universe? No...not until they prove it to be true.
does this mean that the consequence of that possibility is overridden? God exists. You claim he is a possibility. We claim to really know him as he is. The fact that you think he is not proved(which is false and foolish according to romans) will not stop him from judging you for your sins.

ATMC: When the path is foggy,
When my way is unclear,
When the storms begin to rage,
When the darkness is near
Surely it seems
That I will not make it through;
Surely it seems hope is gone - -
Yet then I see You.
You will make a way, Lord,
When there is no way at all;
You will make a way, Lord,
And lift me when I fall.
When trials overwhelm me,
When I am too weary to move,
You will make a way, Lord,
Your mercy You will prove.
For my Jesus is with me,
My God will make a way;
The night He will turn to light
Shining as the bright of day.
Yea, God will make a way
When there is no way at all;
God will make a way
And lift me when I fall.
I know surely in the storm
I will make it through;
For You are here with me - -
And all I need is You.
You light my path,
You make my way clear;
I rejoice even in the storms,
For my sweet Jesus is here.
good morning everybody

Love your poem.

Logicboy03: Of course, God's existence is possible with impossible odds.
so God's existence is possible, but you just don't believe in him? That's your definition of disbelief? This does not change the fact that you will stand before God in judgement and answer to your deeds. Do you believe standing before God in judgement is possible?

I refuse to fear empty words princesa
Neither do I look upon pretending paker angry
For though I walk through the valley
I shall fear no evil
Neither the voice of devils
For the lord is with me

Quit your acts of peversion
Embrace truth and mercy
Away from me thou foul vamp pretenders
Away tolite with your dog-like roar
Or I shall bind you in all your gore
And take you to the berom people of yore
For they eat dogs and dance in all galore
And break vamps necks with merriment

Indeed your roar sounds like breakfast
Throw a party they say!
Get the dog and strike its head
Strike a tune as we roast his flesh grin
Get the brukutu, drink, be merry
That tolite is the irony.

aManFromMars: Atheism is irrational if you agree with the following
- That it's rational to lock up an individual if a crime is committed in his neighborhood with providing any evidence of his involvement.
- That it's rational to claim you have kids(when you have none), and demand that others prove you have no kid.

Is it rational to make conclusions based on evidence or lack of it? If everyone is to be honest, we do not know how we got here. We all have more questions than answers. No one has claim to have ever CREATED the Universe. Until this BEING shows up and claims so, it's irrational to claim such a being EXISTS or even cares about if humans BELIEVE in it/his/her existence.
stop forcing your bad thinking down everyone's throat nwokem.
