You aren't ready to have a partner or friend. I think you're looking for someone to boss around. I have a feeling that you think this way only because you've been an introvert that doesn't know how to relate with people.

Okay, so if I may ask, what is this your new belief?
Since you left the Christian faith due to reasons best known to you, there is no way we can have a sweet fellowship around the word don't you think.
I would like you to tell me what changed your mind from the truth of God's word?
I won't use the word 'belief'. I'm more of a pragmatic epistemologist in that i don't just accept any account based on hearsay or just stories. I try as much as possible to go through every logical reason before arriving at a probable conclusion. Moreover, whatever knowledge i gather regardless of how small should be useful in one way or the other.
Well, i think i started to think about a number of things in relation to religion at a young age and came up with some ideas. For example, i was born in SW Nigeria and my family is a mixture of Muslims and Christians and Muslims which goes in line with the historical accounts of the relationship between Europeans and those that dwelled at the coast of SW Nigeria at that point. However, it also shows the vivid influence of the northerners who had a relations with the Yōrùbás over a long period of time in history especially in places like Kwara and Oyo. A look at the SE also points us to the limited penetration from the North but higher influence from the Europeans. In essence, what I'm trying to point to is that we're a product of what history bestowed upon us. If you were born in India, you would have probably been a Hindu, in Saudi Arabia, you would be a Muslim, in Italy, you'll most probably be a Christian and so on and so forth. So, does that mean my religion is right and everyone is wrong? Or does that mean I'm wrong and everyone is right? That's what kick-started my doubts before i delved into the Bible and did my mind get blown away... Yes, absolutely!!!

Ok sir, I will go through the sites.
I was born into a Christian home certainly.
And mind if I ask you a question? Are a Christian? Not because you were born into it, but based on your own free will and conviction of who Jesus Christ is to you?

If yes, then you already know why I'm repeating the word "faith". And you said outside of the Bible no contemporary mention of Jesus, bro I don't agree with that. If I may ask how was the Bible compiled? Was it not from buried scrolls, manuscripts of which some are still in archeological museums, historical artifacts stored up for research purposes, where do the early historians, researchers get what they compiled?

Our views maybe contrasting but the truth remains the truth whether both of us agree objectively on this point or not.
If you are a Bible student I would've loved us to discuss other pressing issues in the scriptures.
Shalom
First, i was born into a Christian family but chose to leave the faith after series of studies which gave me a bigger picture in relation to the origins of religions and a whole lot.
In relation to how the Bible was compiled, i actually don't know.
And yes, i know the Bible quite well. We cam discuss issues within the book.
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible Still Relevant Today? by Judybash93(m): 3:15pm On Oct 16, 2020
iruoghene7:
Hmmm! Bro, let's not elongate this topic since it still boils down to faith. Because I won't bulge to your rational view of my faith and it's author.
It might interest you to know that those mythical beings you cited weren't recognised as being real. But the lord Jesus Christ and his word can never be denied, even a baby in the womb knows that. When I see the source I might go through them but that doesn't in any way gives me an atom of conviction and please the sources should be encyclopedias and archeological and not some blogs or sites seeking to get ads.
Ok. But sir, the same faith is what people of other religion use to justify their beliefs. Does that mean they're right and you're wrong or does that mean you're right and they're all wrong? Faith in my opinion is more like talking about probability. It either works or not and that calls for scrutiny in the way of evidence. You made mention of a baby knowing Jesus even in the womb, i think we both know that's impossible...lol... And if you've noticed, most people only follow the path of their parents in terms of religious beliefs. A Hindu will say a baby has been seeing Krishna from the womb. May i ask if you were born into a Christian family?

You can check these various sites out and let's see what's up. As for the wiki page, the sources are provided within every citation.
I'll provide more if there's a need for it. The stories of the various deities are so similar to the point that one cannot help but ask questions like, isn't it that they copied one another and stuffs like that.
In addition, outside the Bible, there aren't any contemporary mention of Jesus and there were a lot of historians around the area where Jesus "lived". I'm not trying to swerve your faith. I just want us to come to an objective truth. Shalom

This, sir, doesn't serve as evidence. I believe in the tales of the dwarfs because it's written in 'The Lord of the Rings" isn't good enough to point us to the truth and the Bible is just one of the many books that falls into that lane.
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible Still Relevant Today? by Judybash93(m): 2:21am On Oct 16, 2020
iruoghene7:
Bro this people you are talking about weren't born of virgins that's one point.
Please I will appreciate if you provide the source of these findings. Because Wikipedia encyclopedia is saying something else. It has never happened in history and will never happen where a virgin conceived and gave birth except in the time the LORD Jesus Christ.
Those gods u are talking about are mythical beings. Even if they were as powerful as you say, and the date of their birth coinciding with that of Jesus, I don't know of that. But mind you, December 25th isn't the birth day of Jesus Christ.
Please check your findings okay well and give the source.
Well, i will drop the sources and yes they are mythical just like Jesus Christ.

"It has never happened in history and will never happen where a virgin conceived and gave birth except in the time the LORD Jesus Christ."

Sir, this isn't true at all. There are claims upon claims of people being born of virgins even before the mythical birth of Jesus. Jesus isn't the first. This is a fact.
I'll be back with the sources after work
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible Still Relevant Today? by Judybash93(m): 6:05pm On Oct 15, 2020
iruoghene7:
really! i'd like to see them.
Thanks for the opportunity.
First, let's look into the various deities that existed before Jesus. The first I'll like to look into is Krishna which means 'the anointed one' existed thousands of years before Jesus was born of a Virgin in 900 BC with a star in the East signalling his coming. A tyrant killed thousands of infants because he wanted to kill Krishna. He was a teacher in the temple, he was a healer who performed miracles, he was crucified between two thieves and resurrected from death. Another god was Attis who was born of a Virgin on December 25th 1220BC, He was crucified and rose from the dead after three days. Mithra on the other hand was a Persian god who was also born of a Virgin, travelled around with 12 disciples, performed miracles, died for 3 days and was resurrected, he was called the truth and the light and was worshipped on Sundays. Dionysus of Greece 500BC was also born of a Virgin, performed miracles, was referred to as the king of kings as well as the alpha and omega. Horus of Egypt was born of a Virgin around 3000BC and a star in the East signalled his coming, he was adored by 3 kings, he was a teacher at 12, began his ministry at 30, he performed miracles, had 12 disciples, he was crucified, died for 3 days and was resurrected, he was referred to as the lamb of God.
By looking at all of them, you'll realize that they come from a relatively accessible geographical location. All the deities existed before Jesus and Jesus Christ has all those characteristics. How can one not say that Jesus Christ was made up as a combination of the deities that existed around that area at that point in time. I'll implore that you check this out by yourself so that it won't be like I'm making things up. Please, check them up in your local library or the internet.

come on bro! Seriously! Jesus christ a made up entity in history, in the face of ovewhelming evidences in history that you just cited and uncountable evidences in our day and many more in the future. Guy it cant be denied more or less compared with other books and beliefs
Hahahahahah... Should i drop my reasons?
BTW, i didn't drop evidences, i dropped claims. Claims can be true or untrue
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible Still Relevant Today? by Judybash93(m): 4:39am On Oct 15, 2020
iruoghene7:
bro i think u should check ur historical findings again. I will say no more because christianity is based on faith on Gods unfailing words not rationality. Okay. I pray God opens your eye of understanding, so u won't compare the word of God to occultic books whose author were mere men inspired by the devil to deceive.
You're insinuating that their books are occultic only because you've not studied about other religions, in order to come to the truth, there's a need to compare and contrast. BTW, do you know that Jesus Christ could have been a made up entity in history?
Moreover, if you have extraordinary claims, there's a need to back them up with extraordinary evidence, saying someone like Jesus Christ walked on water, raised the dead, when he died, thousand arose from the dead and a lots more requires strong evidence for people to accept.
Bro, I'm not saying you can't believe what you don't want to believe, I'm just saying that i think it'll be better to accept or reject things based on evidence.

iruoghene7:
if u are asking this question from a rational point of view, and not from a faith point of view, i'm sorry i can't answer u. If you wish to confirm it, pray to God to guide you as you study the scriptures, so u can see modern day events fufilling prophesy. Have u read about the history of the bible? Which book has passed through such persecution and survived? But it survived even till tomorrow, this alone begs the question what is the power in this holy book?
The Holy Veedas went through a lot and still survived and the religion is way older than Christianity. Does that mean Hinduism is true? If we're going to come to a conclusion without being rational, there's no need to even start because that'll be Cos 90°. So, should i pray to lord Krishna to also point to whether Hinduism is true or not?

The person asking this question, are you a Christian?
If yes do you know that the scriptures is the word of God, and Jesus Christ said, "heaven and earth shall pass away, but not one jot of his word will not be fulfilled"

The holy scriptures isn't a text book that can be modified and different editions be released.
Thank you

Masturbation ruins you physically and mentally, it turns you to a lazy youth.

...... Sir, even me wen tell u say nothing is impossible with God, I still have challenges but it doesn't stop me from believing that someday all will be well...... These was once a time when the world knew nothing like cancer or sickness or death but the curiosity and disobedience of man took that privilege away from us......so what you see now, the wars... Famine... Sickness and the rest of it are the rewards of our disobedience to God and a time is coming ( the second coming of Christ) when those who stayed faithful and obedient to God's word despite the ills going on around the world will be called to enjoy a sickness and death free life for eternity and those who are found guilty, a worse string of suffering, hunger, grief and the sorts awaits them all..... God is wise...... Life would not be appreciated if there is no death..... A full stomach won't be valued if there has never been hunger...... So baba..... God dey... Believe me
Lol... I'm not saying your God doesn't exist o. I'm just saying that if he really exists, please prove it. Btw, if you were God, will you create the kind of scenerio that you just typed?
Moreover, you said all these things are as a result of our disobedience, ok, so, God knows everything as in he knew that Adam and Eve were going to eat from that tree but he still decided to put the tree in the garden. My guess is that if the tree wasn't there, Adam wouldn't have eaten the fruit.
I'm addition, check this out, the blessed trinity are three in one which means Jesus is God, God is God and the holy spirit too is God. So, God created the world, he decided to set up man by making them sin, then he was like... Damn guys, you have sinned, now i will sacrifice myself to myself in order to cleanse your sins... There's absolutely no logic in it....

The fact that you don't believe it is a personal thing.

There are people around you who don't believe in you!

Is that supposed to bother you?

Nope, that's their personal opinion.

Whether you doubt the contents of the Bible makes no difference to the universe.

The solar system remains the same.

So quit telling strangers what you doubt, instead give them something to hope for.
Boss, i don't think there's anything wrong in calling out something that i think is wrong. Whichever way, you've voiced your opinion and the solar system is still the same. I called him out. I wasn't trying to make him believe what i believe.

I have seen people domesticate animals like hyaenas and even pythons. There's no doubt about that. My focus was on the Daniel account and for him to claim a miraculous event without significant proof is what got my attention. It being written in the Bible isn't proof enough.
