Logicboy03: The only side I am taking is against the bigoted christian soup kitchen director
so you agree with the trolls statement then? That he's sure they would deny people food?

Logicboy03: It would actually make more sense if Joshthefirst and co condemened the bigoted actions of the christians rather than make silly arguments about atheists trying to be crybabies or segregationists
as usual, you side with your atheist brother en if he made a derogatory statement. And you unjustly call others hypocrites.

Mr Troll: @bold, did you see 'atheist' in that my sentence? Makes all the difference.

That said, did you read where the atheists said they won't wear their t-shirts or say anything improper? I guess it was too much for them to trust that they'll keep to their words considering that they think that atheists are devil worshippers.
atheists are not people then?
Smh.
Just agree that you made a bad statement and stop savinf face.

Mr Troll: This is shameful. I'm [size=68pt]quite sure[/size] those people would even deny hungry atheists food and use them as an example of how not believing in god makes you poor and hungry.

That aside, you sound like a pharisee. The type that Jesus said will pray in loud corners of the street and give alms in view of everybody. If they are running the place as christians as you say, then it implies that they are doing it not only as a means of helping society but as a means of show boating, and they don't want to share the 'glory'. Is that what your Jesus would do?
I would have found out their motives first. Whether they were honestly coming there to volunteer to help or to make a silly point and cause trouble.
Christianity EtcRe: Is There A Need For The Saviour? by Joshthefirst(m): 3:35pm On Oct 25, 2013
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Mr Troll: Excuse me? Did you read the initial post by LB? Those christians are definitely bigoted and very discriminatory. I'm sure you would do exactly as they did, segregate yourself from others just because of beliefs. . .
Yes, I read the post, but for you to claim that they would even deny hungry people food shows you're a very biased human being. It shows that you're like secularist who thinks that christians are the scum of the earth and pathetic devils and merderers and thieves.


I do not know what I would do in that situation if I were in charge of that soup kitchen, but I would do the right thing.

But judge motives carefully. Why did atheists go to a christian soup kitchen to volunteer for help? Were they being honest? Or were they trying to prove a point in aselfless place of service?

Alfa Seltzer: So this did not happen?

Genesis 26:24

24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
God also appeared to the israelites too. He also appeared to abraham. It does not not mean they saw his face.

lanrexlan: Explain those verses abeg
the angel was sent to represent God. It would be logical for men to think they have seen God when they see angels.
Moses cases was very unique, since the angel was sent there to personify God.
Just like manoah thought he had seen God and would die.

Alfa Seltzer: So, was Jacob lying when he said this?

Genesis 32:30

30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Jacob saw angels going up and down and heard God's voice at one time.


It is common in scripture to replace God with his messengers; the angels.
Even manoah, samsons father saw an angel and was afraid he'd die.
Interpret scripture with scripture.

Judges 13:21 But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord. 22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God .

Christianity EtcRe: Why Could Jesus Easily Keep The Law, But We Can't by Joshthefirst(m): 9:38am On Oct 25, 2013
jdilight: @ Joshthefirst: That place is not talking about the holy spirit but about the spirit in the word of God.

You remember what jesus said, "the words that l say unto you, they are spirit and they are life".

The Holy spirit is a personality that work through the word of God bros.
so how does this negate what I said? We're saying the same thing.

jdilight: @ okeyxyz: Who told you that you are not meant to be like christ? when he said, " it is necessary that a servant be like his master". what then do you think of the friends or brother of the master?

@ Goshen360: am talking about the ten commandments and not the jewish laws.

@ Joshthefirst: No more condemnation is not for he who is in christ alone, but he who also walk according to the dictates of the spirit.

please may l ask you, who is the spirit being spoken about here?
walk according to the holy spirit who changes the nature of your spirit.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Could Jesus Easily Keep The Law, But We Can't by Joshthefirst(m): 5:07am On Oct 25, 2013
Who told you we can't keep the law?
In fact, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us as we trust in the power of Christ. We are able to live above sin. We are saved from sin. That was the whole point of our salvation.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. KJV.
Christianity EtcRe: People Argue that Moses Saw God. How True Is This? by Joshthefirst(m): 4:57am On Oct 25, 2013
This is a very important part of scriptures that should be discerned with the holy spirits help. I will open a thread on it tomorrow by Gods grace.

Exodus 18:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Blessed be the name of the lord.
Men cannot see God, men cannot even experience Gods goodness because of sin. You see, Gods goodness consumes sin. God is holy. He cannot accept sin. A sinful man cannot stand in his prescence.
It is only a man who stands on the rock, a man whom in his mercy, God covers, that can experience the goodness of the Lord.
God is good. Man has sinned. Once we accept Jesus, we stand on the rock. The rock of ages clefts for us, and we are able to see Gods goodness. We are able to know God in new light.
It will be perfect when we completely get to heaven in resurrected bodies, bodies reedemed from the corruption of sin. There, we shall gaze upon Gods face. Blessed be God forevermore.

Christianity EtcRe: "Why Is Christianity Better Than Other Religions?" by Joshthefirst(m): 8:12pm On Oct 24, 2013
nwuyag: Cos it seems that you dont. Let me help you out;
you said you ve stayed with moslems and known them. If a moslem says that about xtians he met, you will say thay they did not meet true xtians. Right?. Its the same answer you can get from another moslem. Its futile. How will you feel when a moslem relentlessly and confidently tries to feed their beliefs to you; criticizing your beliefs. You seem eager to preach. Why not go to the north and tell all that to bokoharam. They are indeed waiting for you.
Moreso, about your Jesus saving story;
Look at this world in a clearer view. A true god, irrespective of ones belief, religion or tribe will be happy to see his imperfect creation, live in love, peace and harmony. Not minding what any book says, not living under forceful obedience. but for the sake of value of morals. Acknowledging all these and by his omnipotence, rid it all of every form of evil. I don't see the relevance of the jesus saving story. Every religious beliefs inherently begets questions, which answers can never be accepted by everyone. So I think this thread connotes the analogy of a pot calling kettle black.
where is the value of morals without the absolute? Where is the love, peace and harmony in this sinful world.
You do not see the relevance of the Jesus story because you do not realize that all have sinned. All, irrespective of reeligious belief or stance.
Have you not sinned before?
Christianity EtcRe: "Why Is Christianity Better Than Other Religions?" by Joshthefirst(m): 7:46pm On Oct 24, 2013
I believe you should ask yourself why these deluded men would sacrifice their lives not to kill others, but to save others. Why would these deluded fellows be dehumanized and tortured beyond belief for showing love? Why would they be killed and scorned allover the world. What makes these deluded fellows have this kind of faith to forgive their tormentors and the killers of their loved ones? To go out to preach the gospel knowing they would be killed.
Why? What?
It can't be religion. Religion itself persecutes these men. I've lived in nothern nigeria. I have seen the difference between religion and the real deal.
Christs love keeps us. The reality of salvation from sin makes us sacrifice our lives and reputations and brothers to hold on to it.
Others kill, we are killed. Others maim, we are maimed. Others spite, we go on. We preach and suffer, yet we preach. We must save this world with the gospel message of salvation and love. We are after its best interests
This is reality.
Gods love for the sinner keeps us going. The love of Christ constrains us.
