Deep Sight: Never said a word about beauty, son.

I asked for thoughts on each image.

And if you care, there are many scientific questions raised by each image - questions bordering on biology, psycology, physiology and chemical reactions and many more. But oh - I guess you hadn't thought that far, had you, Mr Science?

The best you could do was to join Plaetton in his amusing scream that everything is subjective and therefore abandon all thought - in addition, of course, to branding innocents as fvctards, no?

Very bright, son, very bright.

I'm off now.

Later.

When children are looking for money for transport to go to school, how will they reach school again for prom night talk less of which cloth they will wear. I've only heard of some private schools having proms.
The numerous public schools are mostly full of nigerian children who have to struggle and go through a lot of hardship in life.

Deep Sight: I mean, just have a look at this -



And this is not done through the faculty of observation and thinking on what we see in the universe?

The same faculty of observation that he says is not to be trusted as it is entirely subjective and cannot disclose objective truths.

The contradiction is staggering, you guys really make me feel tired with such.

You have not even bothered to exercise your brain muscles on this simple matter for one second.

Christianity EtcYou're Foolis.h For Believing In Christ? by Joshthefirst(op):
You're a foo.l for believing in christ? You're brainwashed? You're an ediot? You are mentally retarded? You are unreasonable?

I am then. A f.ool for believing God created me. I am unreasonable, that's why I realize that when you take away God all powerful, you take away justice and hope. I'm unreasonable for believing the words of a very much alive Saviour, who is coming to judge the living and the dead. These are funny days indeed. The last days. When people are considered intelligent when they foolishly reduce themselves from the image of God to the image of an ape-like ancestor. Oh well.

Well, Jesus was called demon possessed for some of the things he claimed and spoke. I mean, how would you believe a man who claimed to be the saviour of the world? The "common" man who trekked around old israel? A man who said "he that believes in me will never die"
A man who said "I lay down my life willingly, and willingly I take it up again"
This man said some very "heavy" statements that still grabs mens attention, no matter their rank.
Yeah. Years ago, I dared trust in this saviour when I saw I was a sinner in need of him. I dared believe his "outrageous words"
And reality caught up with me. I am unfazed in all things, for I have trusted God, and experienced salvation from sin(may my life continually bear witness) and I know this God, His power I witness everyday.
For when I got ahold of God(or rather, when God got ahold of me) through Christ Jesus, I became engulfed in absolute truth and power. Yes. It is when I stood on the rock that I bore witness to absolute truth, and I began to recognize the subjective falsehood of man's thinking. When I began to gaze through Gods word, every new stance, every false claim was already analyzed and taken care of with respect to its truth. And once men walk with God in blamelessness, they renew their mind and grow in knowledge, increasing in the graspings of reality.
But the irony is the all too simple truth one has to realize and believe to be saved, to begin to know what is real. One would think that you would encounter something complex, something mind blowing and exotic, something that appeals to mans intelligence. But no you see. The handwriting of Gods power and knowledge and salvation is exceedingly simple:
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life

It isn't what many expected. To the seemingly wise, it sounds foolish. Something of sophistry and great authority of power is expected, but they are proud you see, they are too blind to see Gods artistry and superior masterpiece of salvation around them.
It is how God intended, for God resists the proud. If you're a proud windbag, know today that you are being resisted by God himself.

Humble yourself mankind and repent of your sins and embrace salvation. And be able to know the untold joys of walking with God till eternity.

[quote author=david_hume]You're the one that thinks its highly flawed.
The evidence supporting evolution is everywhere.

I was talking about the origin of matter. In order to be certain, you have to go back to the time before matter existed i.e, b4 big bang! grin[/quote]please state one evidence supporting evolution clearly and precisely. If you cannot, you ought to be ashamed for spreading false news to decieve gullible minds.

There are mechanisms and processes in evolution. Adaptation is just one of them.


Look, you want to be ignorant, fine. I am not going to be your biology teacher
I know enough of evolution. I'm saying that its just speculation of men and it does not have any shred of evidence. Simple. Adaptation is adaptation. Your 'mechanisms and processes' are unscientific. Someone saw adaptation in birds and concluded that birds can keep adapting until they change into other forms altogether. Smh.
Darwins finches are still birds. Birds are birds. There is no observed and tested change of kind.
Christianity EtcRe: Atheists, Let's Be Honest- The People Who Formed Religions Were The Smartest by Joshthefirst(m): 1:04pm On Oct 29, 2013
Logicboy03: Stop reading about evolution from christian creationist websites.

Adaptation is part of evolution....did you not learn that basic fact?



An adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, in biology is a trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection. Adaptation refers to both the current state of being adapted and to the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the adaptation. Adaptations contribute to the fitness and survival of individuals. Organisms face a succession of environmental challenges as they grow and develop and are equipped with an adaptive plasticity as the phenotype of traits develop in response to the imposed conditions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation
what are you saying? Adaptation leads to evolution? Smh.
This is a quote from the heading of the link you gave me:
This article is about the evolutionary process. For other uses, see Adaptation (disambiguation).
Here's the real link that contains the biological definition of adaptation:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(disambiguation)
And here's the definition from the link:
In Biology, adaptation is the process whereby a population becomes better suited to its habitat.

Adaptation does not lead to a production of a new kind of organism over a period of time. That Is unscientific and is mere speculation. Adaptation just makes an organism better suited to its environment. Birds will remain birds, apes will remain apes. Humans will remain human.
Stop spreading falsehood.
Embrace truth. Stop trying to remove the place of God's supremacy in thought and imagination. Look at what it has turned you into and made you do.

Logicboy03: Jesus Christ!

See what religion does to the brain?

-Answer this simple question- why are there new drugs to for the same curable diseases?
I don't want to say you don't have enough sense to distinguish between adaptation and what evolution claims.
The pathogens adapt new forms of resistance to the former drugs.
How does this relate to the pathogens becoming entirely new different kinds of organisms?
Nawa for you.
Smh.

Logicboy03: And you wonder why atheists never take you seriously.

shm undecided

Did you see God come down?
Is there any evidence that he came?
The earth is 0.0001% of space. God came down there.
did you see a dinosaur turn into a chicken?
Or a so called monkey ancestor turn into a man?
People saw God among them and recognized him in Jesus Chridt. The records are there. The power of his life is here in us to speak for itself through us.

Logicboy03: ^
Proof that religion can sometimes cause mental illness.
The father of evolutionary biology is a mental midget to Reyginius. This is the same person that will take new medicine for colds/diseases- ignorant of the practical evidence for evolution that he just witnessed
okay. This is a blatant lie.
Darwinian evolution is a change of kind. Not a change of species. It is purely unscientific. There is no shred of evidence for darwinian evolution.
What you just said is actually proof that you are so against God that you would label mere speculation as science and shamelessly lie to draw people away from the real God.

rationalmind: You have said nothing at all. A muslim will tell you the life of mohammed bears witness with the truth he preached.

And you failed to address what I said in anyway. Its just like me telling you I rode on a housefly. You ask me how possible is it and I say "God did it". Anything no matter how foolish and silly can be justified by just saying "God did it". I hope you can now see why the answer will remain unacceptable. If you still can't, I rest my case, I cant help you.
I don't need your help.

Mark 16:
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
We're talking about a living God with living folllowers. Our claims agree. These signs follow us. They prove to the world that the message is real. They bear witness.
God did it. Its not an imaginary effort to explain the unexplainable, it is a fact that explains the supernatural. God did it. God is doing it

How do we differentiate falsehood from truth? How do we know one is genuine?
Matthew 7:
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

By their fruits you shall know them.
Their words and lives and signs must bear witness, and agree with the truth they preach.
Christianity EtcDo You Really Believe That Bible Stuff?? by Joshthefirst(op): 10:41pm On Oct 28, 2013
So umm guys, do you really believe that bible stuff? I mean, you can't tell me God healed people can you?
You can't tell me that he sends people to hell. Do you really believe that stuff? Is it real? Isn't it just fairytales?
Why would an all-loving God cast people in hell for eternity?

Yeah. I hear that everyday. First, God is love of course.
But you just missed many parts of scripture. You just took parts of the bible you wanted to take and made a silly conclusion? You just made up a false image of God to justify your claims and stance?
God is all-powerful, he can do anything.

Here are some of the parts you missed:

Romans 6:23(a) For the wages of sin is death;

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Yes my friend. The wages of sin is death. When you willfully sin, you have made yourself an enemy of God. God is love, but he is also holy and he cannot allow sin to go unpunished.
We will all stand before God in judgement to receive the just rewards of our deeds on earth. This is fact. The bible says so.
As far as you have sinned, you stand condemned. How long will it take you to realize that we're talking serious stuff. Eternal stuff? How long before you understand God doesn't cast into hell because of silly things like us refusing to worship him.(Judge carefully) He casts into hell because the wages of sin is death. Sin! Sin! Sin!
We are guilty of sin? We stand condemned before God. As a good God and judge, he must condemn you. God cannot be bribed. He is judge of all. You cannot decide to try to balance the good and evil in your life. That would be trying to bribe God with good works to escape condemnation. It is like filthy rags before God. He will not be bribed. He is a just judge.
But he is also a loving father. Which father would be happy condemning his children? So he made a plan for salvation. He came in the flesh and bore the penalty of our sins. Jesus. When you trust Jesus, you don't need to die. You're given new life. You're free. Your punishment is paid for. You do not need to die. Why will you continue in rebellion? Why will you choose to be blind to truth? The God you will meet on judgement day will be an incorruptible judge, not the mental image you've created in your head.

So do you really believe all that stuff in the bible? Are you sure its real? If you really believe that stuff, it'll change your life.
It'll free you from sin, from the burden of guilt and even the never ending rituals of religion.
Come unto me all ye who labour and are hevy laden Jesus said, and I will give you rest.
People are in the world to exploit you and steal from you. There are many like that. But we are here because we speak heavy and real words:
Repent! we say, Repent!!! For the kingdom of God is at hand

PS: the people who this message is adressed to know themselves.

Christianity EtcRe: Are You A Witch, Satanist, Wizard Or Occultist? Ask Jesus Into Your Heart by Joshthefirst(m): 9:46pm On Oct 28, 2013
Gombs: Fat lie!!

Singing my favorite Christmas Song

" Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven
and ...


Ever wonder why He is called, the Joy of the whole world?

If his mission was not to give men joy, was his mission to give anguish? The word Gospel means 'good news', abeg Jesus brought Good news, if some one brings good news to you, is it not same as he brought joy to you?

*dont ask me what was d good news Christ brought


Do you really know who Jesus is?
please read my post again for clarification.
My point is that if a sinner is preached the feel-good gospel. The "you'll never get along well in life without Jesus gospel", etc, he'll end up a false convert and will most probably fall away and bewcome worse than he already is.
Jesus did not preach: "accept me, I have come to give you joy"
He preached: "repent! For the kingdom of God is at hand!"
The apostles preached that too.
It is only when people repent of their sins that they will find true joy in christ Jesus. It is only when men realize feel the impact of their sins that they will realize the need for a saviour and accept him.
The gospel is all of this, especially the bolded phrase:
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through jesus christ our lord
