Kay 17: @joshthefirst

Does your definition of "kind" cover just a species or several species?
several species.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Christianity Will Always Be Better Than Islam- FROM AN ATHEIST! by Joshthefirst(m): 9:07pm On Dec 08, 2013
I just don't have anything to say?

Or do you want me to tell you congrats for preferring the christian religion to the muslim one?

One can practice christian religion without believing christ fyi.

And christianity is deeper than just belief in God.

texanomaly: To be honest, he is right on most counts. We are one screwed up nation. I am proud to be an American. I would not deny it or change my allegiance. I will admit, though, that the FAMILY is in trouble here. It is being threatened daily by the same things Josh mentioned. I fear for this country. I pray daily for our leaders, unfortunately, I know it is going to become worse.
ma'am. Good evening. smiley I was just giving examples, not generalizing.

But how do you know its going to become worse?
Christianity EtcRe: Where Does Your Tithe Go To by Joshthefirst(m): 8:51pm On Dec 08, 2013
frosbel: Your pastor has a need but so do the poor, the desperate, the orphans, the widows etc etc.

And by the way your Pastor should stop being lazy and get a JOB. angry
did I say we neglect widows and orphans?

My pastor will not get a job and be distracted from his pastoring work.
When we pay our tithes, and also give as the spirit leads, money is available for the church and our mission work and also for the pastor and his needs. We train orphans and help the needy.

But why should my pastor not drive a good car? Or wear a new suit? Why should he not look good?

It seems you have that mentality that pastor must suffer materially and financially because you're stingy and don't want to provide for him. Just because he is called of God does not mean God will not use us to supply his need. Do you even give for missions?

We can keep our pastors and. The needy too. You indirectly advocate poverty amont the clergy and stinginess because of your excesses sir. Please stop.

Logicboy03: You saw my comment to muskeeto and you still repeat this crap,

What does your bible tell you abut bearing false witness? Why would you make such a comment when you know nothing about how I was raised.

Anyway, it is all good.....everyone can see you for the crap you spew grin grin grin grin grin


And for one, I turned out to be a better man than either you or muskeeto in real life cool

-more educated
-more financially stable
-more eloquent (my atheist ministry and preaching)

and so much more..... cool


Just call me the dark knight cool


(hope Ishi wont say that I'm flattering myself lol)
I was just repeating his statement, I intended it to be a joke. I apologize if you were offended.

Hbg. Good evening.
Please do not ban me. This will be my only comment



I guess people actually show who they really are after a while.

Everyone needs the message of christ. Even so called catholics and christians.

No matter who you claim to be, you need to be saved from sin.

Pope 2, welcome to our thread.

Please don't you have anything helpful to say other than asking vicky if she's beautiful? Or will you ask aMFM if he's beautiful too?? grin grin grin

aManFromMars: Sometimes I take you to be brilliant, but sometimes, a little silly just slips through.


And people like Obasanjo and Logicboy turned out ok, I guess.
whendo not raise our children in an atmosphere of bibilical love and discipline, they become obj and logicboy


aManFromMars: It's difficult but some mothers have been able to raise single kids alone, especially widows.
it seems you did not understand that statement. I was talking about some aspects of feminism that advocate non-prescence of a male parent. At least you know its genuinely difficult and the psychological effects are bad.


aManFromMars: Of course, we all know kids from heterosexual homes turn out alright.
an example. An extreme one to give more light to the message I was trying to pass across. The most you have just done is confirm my post with this.


aManFromMars: Hail the black man who has been hardened by circumstances and violence and has become so docile that his destiny has been taken out of his hand. The black man is unwilling and unable to chart a path for himself and posterity. Constantly ranking lowest on indices of good governance, standard of living etc. Most will wake up in the morning, skip over pits called gutters, jump into buses driven by drivers with no licenses, spend more time on the road thanks to pothole.. but all that shouldn't bother us. Let's laugh at the whites because we have better morals
when did I say we have better morals? The bible can solve all these problems listed above. You confirm my post even more.


aManFromMars: Absolutes like offering your son for sacrifice if God tells you to.


Men change men. Obadiah's fear mongering changed Bolaino.



I really hope you still have palm lines. I guess your favorite holiday is Palm Sunday. grin grin
mtchew.

God changes men for the best good possible. Imparting life to dead lifestyles and works.
Logicboy03: Guy, what do you mean by people like me?
Do you know anything about how I was raised? Dont follow Josh into silliness

smh.....

Logicboy03: You miss the point.

Joshthefirst was using "cousins" in literal sense.

Why? Because if it were metaphorical, it wouldnt be mentally ridiculous to him


The scientists use tthe word "cousins" in a non-literal way to mean that we are closely related to bonobo since they have a very c lose dna to our common ancestor
you lie against me just to prove your warped world view. Your low then.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Is Virginity So Important In Abrahamic Religion? by Joshthefirst(m): 7:52pm On Dec 08, 2013
Logicboy03: Of course, you are empty.


How many gay families do you know personally?
How many Western families do you know personally?

You just throw stereotypes without thinking....your foolishness is annoying
Logicboy03: ^^
Abeg, Texanomaly, as someone from the USA and a christian, can you lecture Joshthefirst about stereotyping people from the west and gay bashing without evidence?
when did I stereotype anything? I did not stereotype or generalize anything. You are the one who does that. If you deny the actual effect of these things on children, you fool yourself and show your lack of exposure.
Christianity EtcRe: Where Does Your Tithe Go To by Joshthefirst(m): 7:48pm On Dec 08, 2013
plappville: Why giving to someone that is already rich?
rich how? My pastor has a need, we give him. We pay his salary. Don't mind foolish men who go around hounding me on every thread.

And don't rely on appearances, rely on the holy spirit.

The pastor has no other source of livelihood(my pastor) except the church. A workman is worthy of his wages.

Tell me, have you been to the EU or America and noticed these things you are saying?
nonsense. I owe you no obligation of an answer.

Kay 17: Prove it!
nawa o. I was busy reading the contents of a derailed thread only to have this come up. grin grin grin grin grin


Go to mothers who believe what so called psychologists sat; that its not okay to spank or yell at your child in correction and look at how their children turned out to know.(In correction, note)

Go to mothers who believe fathers are not needed in the home and look at their children.

Go to homosexual homes where children are adopted and speak carefully with the children.

Go to america and britain, where human's have rights to selfishness and lawlessness and see immature and selfish human beings with suicidal tendencies and depression.


Except morality is based on its absolutes(I believe you know what it is), we will continue to be confused and lawless and immature and selfish and proud.

But Gods word changes a man. Changes men.


Except we tell our children it is not okay to lust and porn and fornicate, that it is not okay to abuse the institution of marriage by making jokes about it, we become mean immature people, ruled by our flesh.
Christianity EtcRe: ARE CHRISTIANS SICK? Re; Nelson Mandela In Hell (an Atheist Response) by Joshthefirst(m): 6:10pm On Dec 07, 2013
I do not know if he was a christian(saved from sin), and I do not know if he's in heaven or hell. I believe that is not our business. God is the judge, and he has stated his standards; the wages of sin is death, but faith in christ Jesus gives you a substitute saviour and salvation.
Christianity EtcRe: Where Does Your Tithe Go To by Joshthefirst(m): 6:02pm On Dec 07, 2013
My tithe goes to the church.
We also give to the widows and needy.

We also give to the pastors. We also give for church projects.

We give most of all as the spirit leads in love.

You are not in any position to speak against giving.

Why should my pastor not have good clothes?

My duty is to obey God as the Spirit leads in love. God will judge the pastor or whomever if he abuses his position.

Another epileptic thread coming from someone who believes non-directed random motions brought about intelligence and life and organization of the cosmos, who believes his cousin is a bonobo.

And you say religious people are mentally diseased.

Mr Troll: you have not said anything. you said whatever god considers good is good. I ask, if he commands you to bomb the atheists would you? you say no?

I say why not? god thinks it good. why do you consider it evil?

are you now accepting that it is reason that is making you to consider it evil and not from any moral authority, whatever it may be?

i'm afraid you have not considered my question very well....
I'm afraid you have not considered my answer very well. God has already stated his moral stance and engraved it in our consciousness. God will not tell us to murder, because that will be a contradiction of his own written laws, making him guilty, which is an impossibility

Seun: Moving to the correct board ... science/technology.
I really think it will be good for this forum if you create that section sir.

Think of the possibilities of convenient and common knowledge exchange among nigerians in this forum. Ideas will certainly spring up.

If only you could see into my head...
Christianity EtcRe: Why Is Virginity So Important In Abrahamic Religion? by Joshthefirst(m): 12:32am On Dec 07, 2013
Mr Troll: how did you determine it was evil? you just said that only god decides what is good or evil. so by your answer, whatever he tells you to do must be good, per his nature. so how do YOU decide that that would be evil?
God has predetermined good and evil. I only go by his standards.
I know by his standards; in my conscience, and in case I might deny that, the laws in stone bear witness. wink
Science/TechnologyRe: Science Discussions by Joshthefirst(op): 12:27am On Dec 07, 2013
texanomaly: Ok. What was your vision here? You asked for it. What types of things do you want to discuss?
Lets see:

quantum physics
molecular makeup and how it affects the universe
computer science
photosynthesis
gravity

Lets go simpler:
water cycle
life cycle of a frog
how to make a volcano...other simple experiments

Maybe you would like to come up with your own hypothesis and we can see how it plays out...what do you think? grin wink
lol. I believe we can talk about all those things, including new ideas, once the section is created.

The post I wanted to create was on human physiology though. And biochemistry.

I like physics too. Nigerians need to be inspired to think. We all need to.

Christianity EtcRe: The Evolution Of Morality by Joshthefirst(m): 12:23am On Dec 07, 2013
There is an absolute. Our consciences bear witness.

Values can influence our consciences, but it does not destroy the fact of the absolutes. Values can infringe or shrink away from absolute laws, written in our consciousness.

They do not change them. Or the consequence of breaking them.

A former cultural value was that twins were to murdered and considered evil. It was abolished. It did not change the fact that murder is evil.

Anytime we try to shift the basis of the absolutes, we end up hurting ourselves
Christianity EtcRe: Why Is Virginity So Important In Abrahamic Religion? by Joshthefirst(m): 12:17am On Dec 07, 2013
Mr Troll: So if god says you should strap a bomb to your chest and bomb all the atheists in the house, would you hesitate? would you consider it good?
nope. That's evil. Against nature itself. Unnatural.

Seun: Moving to the correct board ... science/technology.
huh

You can make a topic on a board?
Christianity EtcRe: Why Is Virginity So Important In Abrahamic Religion? by Joshthefirst(m): 11:58pm On Dec 06, 2013
Mr Troll: carefully answer this question...
is something good/evil because god says its good/evil or does god say something is good/evil because it is inherently good/evil?
something is absolutely good/evil because God says so. And the fact that God says so is inherent in our consciences and consciousness.

Mind you. There is a fine line between a societies cultural values or norms and the inherent moral absolute values written in our consciousness. Cultural values may infringe on the absolutes, or shrink from them. Cultural values or norms can influence the conscience, but this does not change the absolute nature of those basic right and wrong written in our consciousness, any attempts to shift these borderlines only result in us hurting ourselves.
I hope to create a thread about this later.

[size=30pt]COMPLAINT[/size]


Good evening Seun or any other super mod.
Since this is the sub-section Seun is most interested in(as it seems), I will make this complaint.

I recently wanted to start a thread on the pure and/or applied sciences, and I couldn't figure out which section to post it.

Why isn't there a subsection on the pure/applied sciences in the science section?


Please could you create a new sub-section for the pure/applied sciences somewhere?
There's even a subsection for the arts.


Thank you for your much anticipated response
