TheBigUrban2: Do you know how many times isreal has broken the peace treaty?there are many perspectives actually. Try to get the full picture first. |
Been busy. Looking forward to a powerful convention that will change lives and inspire us even more to preach Christ. We stand as witnesses. Opening the eyes of men to the reality of the gospel. Bearing witness to the salvation of God and his good news and judgement. |
DrummaBoy: [size=20pt]UPDATE ON THE CONVENTION: In Regards Nominations[/size]I nominate alwaystrue |
Grey Blood: They are watching us; I mean Nairaland. Don't complain about the numbers. If your number gets to hundred, ur own don finish be that. ![]() |
[quote author=The.Big.Urban]^^ #most ignorant comment of the day. I told you to read about monty python. Dont let ignorance ruin your life. Mockery is one of the best ways to criticise. It takes a thinking mind to mock something....to make satire of something on purpose.[/quote]Lol. The same way people of different religious beliefs mock each other? Nonsense. It takes an ignorant and foolish mind to mock things he knows nothing about. |
dagr8: Glad to have you back Joshgood to be back. |
[quote author=The.Big.Urban]Mockery is the cornerstone of criticism and sometimes the best form of criticism. Read about monty python There are only two sets of people that are afraid of ridicule- despots and religious people.[/quote]there is one set of people who mock- foolish men who are not convinced of their position. If mockery is needed to pass your message across, then I have no business with you. |
Weah96: Governments donize the ideology of people who believe in fairies. As long as churches continue to run their businesses without paying taxes, I will continue to ridicule the delusion. If the fairy people were to become entitled to tax free operations too, then they willl also share a piece of my mind.ridicule? That's all you can do? That'd be childish. It'll even suggest you're threatened by the fact of God's certainty(which you are). You are not even convinced of your own position. Anyone who resorts to mockery and ridicule and swearing like the op is childish and worse than the person he mocks. We should all try to educate each other and not mock. If mockery is the only thing you would do, then I'd doubt your state of mind and be disgusted. Smh. Childish men who think mockery will help them establish their cause. |
texanomaly: This article made some legitimate points. It could have possibly made many people seriously think. It is well written. It even seems to have sufficiently made an argument that can be taken, at face value, to make sense. The place where it loses all credibility, and frankly it is a shame, is here:agreed. ![]() Hello ma'am. |
FrancisTony: All my post, diary, topic is gone. I lost over 6,500 post and 43topics.glad to be back people. Its like this was all a plan . Been watching from the sidelines for some time now. Nairaland remains the same. Learned new things. Got greater vigour, grown in Christ, grown in wisdom. God is good.We bless Gods name forever more. Keep walking in Gods reality and preaching his word. Aware of his kingdom. |
Sylvekzee: man exists to creat things more powerful than him, even Gods.okay. So what do you mean by "God"? |
Kay 17: I think we are on the same page, but don't you realise the law does not benefit man at all, because prior to the advent of Jesus, man was condemned without remedy. When the law ought to protect him!the law ought to make him wise about his sinfulness. Jesus was taken on a promissory note. Men like abraham and the other patriarchs simply trusted God, had faith in him, and they were counted as righteous. The law guided us into faith in God. When others tried to achieve righteousness by their works, they reaped Gods anger and perished. So the law is good in its self. It guides us to faith in God. |
Kay 17: ^^okay |
Kay 17: Hope you realize that men have been condemned because the law (supposed graceful law). Billions have been condemned to eternal hell, it is hard to see the benefit thereof in the light of this. If there was no law, man would be no sinner. The law suffocates, kills and then hangs man inspite of knowing man cannot fulfill it.the law condemns us all. Condemns us all to hell. It is when we realize our condemnation that we reach out for the saviour: Jesus Christ. The law enables us to realize our sinfulness and the fact that we are already condemned, and look for salvation. By trusting God, and not trying to be good by our own power, breaking it even more. The law is eternal, even before man, it is established. God does not change. Man is already condemned. But we herald a saviour. Today we preach his light. It is only when one rejects the saviour that he pays the price in full for his unrepentance. |
A born-again christian enjoys commiting fornication? Mogbe. People don't know who God is. Op. You don't know what born-again is. It means saved from sin. You can't be saved from sin and still enjoy living with it. You're not born-again, or there's no such thing as christianity, its just a fortitude of the mind. I don't think so. Op, you need to be born again. |
Goddex: God bless Nigeria. God bless GEJ.GEJ has not started anything. I'm no fan of the opposition, I'll even vote for him if there's no other alternative, but we expected more from him. He made us promises. And we see local championships. To whom much is given much is expected. |
Kay 17: Acknowledged, however the law rather than benefit/protect man, it rather enslaves and condemns man, therefore Christianity sees the need for salvation from the law. Same as requiring protection from your parents who ought to be your protectors. It is an irony.the law by itself is a huge benefit. The bible acknowledges that. Man by nature cannot keep Gods law. The law was given as a schoolmaster, to guide us to grace. So its a potent weapon of showing a man he is indeed sinful and guilty, of showing a man his imperfections, to guide him and take him to his saviour, the perfector. This is a bedrock of christianity. A change in nature. Freedom. Forgiveness. This life has changed people, and nations. |
[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]you lack a brain! is that all you gat to say?[/quote]no actually. No amount of trying to interpret will change anything. I'm sure you've had the interpretations of many of those shady scriptures. But you'll still deny. So go on shouting and hailing yourselves in your ignorance. I have nothing else to say to you. You're obviously a very biased human being, who will do anything to paint christianity as bad, make any claim to tarnish any image. |
FOLYKAZE: Liaryou are ignorant of scripture and its interpretation. |
Kay 17: ^^hell is just like prison. But eternal. You would personally campaign against it. But it is generally required for justice in eternity. So chill and think about important practical stuff like this. Ma'am. Sorry for the late reply |
plaetton: Hi. ![]() |
mazaje: That proves my point. . .3150 BC is about 5200 years ago. . .Can you show me that there were no people living in Egypt about 4300 years ago(the period of the alleged flood)?. . .Show me from any historical evidence that the entire people living in Egypts were wiped out 4300 years ago and no one was living there. . I can show you historical evidence that people were VERY active in Egypt and living very normal lives about 4500 years ago in Egypt till date. . .as I said, the dating problem can never be resolved. Its either we are making a mistake in our dating, or you're making a mistake in your dating. But the flood happened. This is a cheapshot way of debunking the great flood. We might as well be arguing when it happened, and not if it really happened. Think of something else without appeal to popular authority, or I'll appeal to the greatest and most legitimate authority there is, effectively shutting you up sir. |
There is no sin? No. Sin is very basic and universal. Wrongdoing. There must be an absolute for us to rely on. History has shown that even the laws made up by a society can deviate from norm and bring trouble upon others. There is a divine law. Sin is the transgression of the law. Man is god? Then each man can treat himself as the moral standard irrespective of anyother. Chaos will reign. There is an absolute moral law that tells us what is objectively wrong, written in our consciences. There is a lawgiver. We must reconcile all laws to this divine law; we must determine right and wrong by this divine law. Or we will end up in chaos in society. Lawless and immoral. So no amount of denial will hide wrong-doing. We all know of wrongdoing. We all have done wrong. |
[quote author=phuck_NL]Why wouldn't they lie is my question!!!!!!! Ancient man has been known to lie on so many issues. They used fear back in the days to control people. From the Egyptians to the Roman empire. What makes this any different. I have read it several times. What I am basically telling you is that I don't believe what they compiled that they lied. What if I told you that I believe that ODUDUWA came from the sky. What would you say?[/quote]why would they lie and risk their lives? How did they exploit and control? Read about the journes of paul and his troubles, and read about how the christian society was organized with a view of even caring for the poor and widows, in love and peace in the bible. Read and stop forcing yourself to doubt. How can they lie about prophecies we see coming to pass before our very eyes? Prophecies so improbable? OLAADEGBU: At first Noah's wife thought that her husband was just trying to tell her that he wanted a boat. ![]() |
Mr Aboki: Now this is getting ridiculous..nawa o. Its a settled fact that there is water beneath the earth now. Water vapour is even released in volcanic eruptions. Aboki take it easy abeg. You are the one agreeing with scientists who use faulty dating methods without thinking for yourself or questioning. You appeal to authority, the authority of majority. That's not how to debate. I have adressed most of the issues you have raised here before. It is a very real possibility and even a compelling fact, that a global cataclysmic event occurred years ago. And it seems you're just joking, not ready to debate. |
[quote author=phuck_NL]Here's my question to you. WHO recorded it? Because we all know GOD did not write the BIBLE. I ask again, why should I believe that WHAT the writers wrote/recorded is true since most of their stories do not add up. If MAN has been lieing since Adam and Eve, what makes it different this time around. How can you tell me with 100% certainty that the writers did not LIE for their own selfish benefits. If the Records had fallen from the SKY, fine. We know it didn't. It was compiled by MAN. MAN lies.[/quote]lol. Go and read the bible again. This time objectively. Go and read the records of early believers. Why would they lie? No man in his right senses will see the bible in all its prophecies and deny the fact that it is extra-ordinary. |
Mr Aboki: You want to tell me, a Geological Engineer about the proof that the entire earth was once flooded at the same time..toh. May we see na. Mr Aboki: Na wah o!! Now I feel like an e-bully.. ![]() Mr Aboki: Okay.. Did you know that;according to which dating standards? Mr Aboki: 2. The Djoser Step Pyramid at Saqqara, Egypt, built about 2630 BC doesn't show any signs of having been under water.according to which dating standards? Mr Aboki: 3. the Egyptians have continuous historical records for hundreds of years before and after the time of the flood that make no mention of a great flood.no. Gimme your evidence then. There are only archaeological records that secular scientists date with faulty dating methods. Mr Aboki: 4. To cover even Mount Ararat, where Noah's Ark supposedly landed after the flood, in 40 days would require over 400 feet of water per day. That's not 400 inches, but 400 feet a day.the bibilical records state that the water reserves beneath the crust broke open, and the rains fell constantly and torrentially for 40 days. So it would have been very easy. Mr Aboki: NOTE:: Forget that crap you wrote about the Mountains not being that high because the Bible speaks of great mountains in the time before the flood. Were these great mountains mentioned in the Bible only a few feet high?we're considering the possibility of a flood, I have said this earlier. You cannot consider this possibility that would have cause enough crust and landscape modifications with the view of contemporary landscape today. Mr Aboki: Just to jog your biblical memory, please read: Exodus 19:16-19.. And tell me that a mountain that has coulds resting on it was a small mountain.. Or your defence would be that the clouds were lower in those days...as I said, you cannot argue this possibility with modern landscape. Mr Aboki: Finally For now..:: Go and read the Babylonian story of Gilgamesh (Which is older than the story of Noah..).. Then come back and tell me what you noticed in the story..go and read the record of the flood again, this time without religious or irreligious bias, like a true scientist that you are. [/quote] |
And this is not godidit. Besides, what's wrong with God did it? Why are you so against God then? If he claims he did it and its recorded and there's evidence, what's wrong? Why does this very fact threaten you? The same people go around shouting randomness and chance did it and expect to be taken seriously. Mtchew. |
Mr Aboki: No..wetin you dey tok here aboki? Menene ka-ina yi? Go and read the bibilical account of the flood and look at our world today. There is more than enough evidence. And don't begin to dey tok of logic oo. The atheists I argued with earlier believe in illogic and destructive physics and they accuse me of being illogical. ![]() Ina wini? ![]() This thread has gone far. Smh. And evil brain still repeated the nonsense questions again? Chei. The bible specifically says noah took different kinds. The landscape was much different then. The mountains then, if a flood as great as that occurred, would be much lower and different from the ones of today. HIV is a virus. Different strains of viruses appear very quickly. If people are still arguing about viruses and microbes here, they are joking, not to be taken seriously. ![]() |
Kay 17: @joshthefirsthell is punishment of evil. Punishment of evil will ultimately help humanity. |
Uyi Iredia: Big lie ! What I said is true. The one of cadavers is quite outmoded, and it isn't as widespread as is suggested. But the exclamation is very true. It was decades back in the era of ghost students with fake degrees. That has abated. However some are already in the system. The one of physiology isokay. I admit the other pure medical sciences are neglected mostly. Especially in research. |
Sorry, the fact that there are different gods in the market does not mean there is no original God. God is the creator. And he is not christian. Lol. He is God. The Creator of all, the God of all flesh. |
