felixomor:
Step outside into what?
Which philosophy can replace the bible? Please tell me.

If u cant mention one better alternative to the words of Christ, then its a shame.

felixomor:
The bible is not supposed to make sense to everyone.

Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Catalin:
Not all, even the bible recognized that there are false Christians and false prophets. Having said this. it is left to you to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Catalin:
They do that cos they are sent by the devil to tarnish the image of Christians but they can't succeed.

OLAADEGBU:
The atheist's dilemma

MaxCoates:
Wrong!

Leader and Founder of Enlightened Christian Gathering, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri yesterday got the whole patients and the entire working staff of Greytown hospital in KwaZulu-Natal astonished as he reportedly resurrected 12 dead people at the hospital.

According to an eye witness who spoke to us via phone, Prophet Bushiri arrived at the hospital morgue around 6:00 am and he started commanding the dead to rise and walk and they did!

“I saw this miracle with my two näked eyes. Prophet Bushiri commanded 12 people who were pronounced dead in the morning to come back to life and lo and behold all the twelve people confirmed dead by the doctors regained life’’ the eyewitness explained

Speaking to the Medical Officer in charge of Greytown hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, to get a confirmation that indeed these 12 people were dead he said “They were even preparing their bodies for the morgue and the man of God stormed the hospital to perform such a wonderful miracles’’

When our outfit contacted Prophet Bushiri, he disclosed that he had the direction from God to visit the hospital on that particular day to save lives that their time is not up.

“The lord spoke to me directly a day before this wonderful miracles that I should go to Greytown hospital and resurrect some people whose time are not up. So I did’’ Prophet Bushiri said.

Nigeria is supposed to improve above our present level, if not for our corrupt and political class.

But most of you guys are idiots, America and other European countries were built on the foundations of slavery, while slaves worked themselves to death, Whites had the chance and time to tinker about technology, economy, infrastructure, and politics.

Yet you retards are comparing a country drained of its resources and a country built on drained resources.

UyiIredi:
We don't observe universal common descent.

UyiIredi:
But DNA testing in human concerns similarities within a species not across different species so that's not a good justification.

DeepSight:
I am at a loss as to how this comment is of any relevance to my comments above given that a person (or personhood) can only be conceived of within existence or as something existent.

Indeed, there is nothing that can be conceived of without existence or as not being existent.

For this reason, your comment - and AIO's revert above - is meaningless.

Period.

UyiIredia:
What justifies this conclusion ?

DeepSight:
This is rather odd.

Is it really possible for a person to "not exist"?

When one says that "a person can either exist or not exist" - this suggests that you may have persons that exist and persons that do not exist.

Is this not a very self evidently false thought construction?

For is there any such thing as a "person" that does "not exist"?

It is a flat out contradiction in terms therefore to say that "a person can either exist or not exist" - thus suggesting two alternate possible types of persons: those that exist and those that do not exist!

Evidently therefore, the correct thing to say would be - "Persons exist" - or - "a person exists" - period.

@ OP: Does this build a thread of reasoning somewhere in what you are trying to say regarding the self existent nature of God?

PS - You rightly should not worry too much about the futilist AIO who starts nowhere and goes nowhere: as a matter of fact, he has propounded quite exactly what your OP says in the past, in simply different words.

Joshthefirst:
They have nothing to do with the axioms of existence.

Evil and good are simply characters of action and thought.
Conscious beings of free agency will have a potential for evil, which must be dealt with.

UyiIredia:
You only assume it. My point is that nothing justifies the assumption of common descent from similarities between different species.

UyiIredia:
The so-called overwhelming evidence for evolution is based on poor reasoning. For example, I've explained that similarities across different species is used as evidence of shared ancestry. This an unjustified inference that cuts across the evidence from comparative anatomy, genomics and embryology which notes such similarities.

UyiIredia:
Both, for instance the speciation example is a systematic observation carried out by biologists.

Joshthefirst:
Evil(the nature of and act of evil) is an outcome of free agency.

UyiIredia:
I'm wondering why atheists and other evolutionists aren't responding to my post. Perhaps they can't rebut it.

Joshthefirst:
I am simply trying to pass across a point of God's supreme nature to you. God is transcendent. You would be foolish to apply ordinary 'nounish' matters to him.

Come clean and stop being annoying if you don't understand what I'm trying to pass across (I think you do shaa, I choose to have a high opinion of you in spite of contrary evidence).

When I say God does not 'exist'(note parenthesis. The parenthesis implies there's a deeper meaning to what I'm saying, logically.) I mean he did not come into being, like us or the universe. He is the reality of presence. Before such concepts of time or space, or beginning or end he IS. IS! For petes sake. He is the sum total of existence. And everything about reality is contained in him, by inference. This does away with the id.iotic problem of any such infinite regress(take note Lennycool).

By eternity, I mean infinite longevity. Before anything else (including a beginning or end) existed, God IS. ('IS' since there was no relative past present or future of his presence) If he transcends the term 'origin' itself, then he is not 'limited' by infinity. Infinity is 'contained' in him.

I have done my best explaining my words, such that even a child would understand and I probably won't go to this great length anymore.

MONITZ:
Mr. Kay ,where in my post did u see me say sth abt VAT in the U. S, I only used VAT in Lagos state as an example of wat is obtainable in Nigeria while I also used the casinos and entertainment in Nevada because the dynamics re different bt the simple truth and the way it should be is having the component units paying a certain percentage to the central government,so don't try to be too clever by half by twisting facts or shifting the post in this argument.

samsono30:
Am not including middle belt in these issue, infact its they middle belt that is even suffering more from these blood sucking kangaroos called hausa/Fullani's northerners.

MONITZ:
Hmmm,ok for a start, the city of Las Vegas is in Nevada which makes her money from majorly casinos and other forms of entertainments without any form of hindrance from the central government and at the end of it all there is a certain amount of tax the state pays to the central government which is used to run her affairs majorly those items on the exclusive lists like the Armed Forces, bla bla bla.

Come down to Lagos state of Nigeria that generates about 80% percent of the total VAT for Nigeria and at the end of the day wat she gets in return from the central government is a pittance.

samsono30:
When I keep telling u guys that Nigeria's problem are the Northerners, if we were not merged with this kangaroos, Nigeria wouldn't have found there selves in this mess, I believe sooner or later Nigeria would seperate by God's grace and southerners would see freedom. But stayyying together with these Kangaroos called Northerners will always be desastarious to other Region. Lazy, jobless Kangaroos always feels they are smart, but I tell u time will come when they will pay so dearly for what they have done to this countr. time will tell.

MONITZ:
And Mr. wat makes u think monitz doesn't know Wat a federal system is? The one the U. S. currently operates is a Kay 17 system of government I guess. U don't assume,get ur facts right and don't come online to insult people with diatribe just because their argument don't tally with urs, Monitz considers a part of wat u wrote as an insult and that is preposterous.

MONITZ:
And wat is the contribution of the North eastern part of the country to the federal purse if I may ask since u ve decided to juxtapose N. E. D. C with N. D. D. C, let me give u some hints; VAT collection (almost zero for north east) while only Lagos generates a minimum of about 80% of the country's VAT ,also mineral resources ( zero for the North east as well, though there might be some prospects bt no exploitation that I know of yet),while the south southern part of the country contributes a huge chunk of the country's wealth. "From whom much is taken, much is given back" is a common saying .

If we were practising true federalism, many northern states won't be able to fend for themselves and would definitely go bankrupt just like the state of Illinois is experiencing presently.

The North is always tardy and inimical to the progress of the country as a whole, they re parasites ,to put it more succinctly and this is the major reason u guys don't want genuine federalism in Nigeria,bt we definitely can't continue like this forever, we will break this yoke thrust upon us by the British at the appropriate time.

The imbalance is just too glaringly glaring, to highlight this, take a look at the old Kano and Lagos states that were created at about the same time ,two more states ve since been carved out of the old Kano thus making it ve about 70 Local government areas,if it was still a single state while Lagos still has the the same initial 20 L. G. A , minus the L. C. D. A's that Tinubu stubbornly created and which drew the ire of O. B. J and which made him seize Lagos state's allocation until Yaradua came in and cleared the backlog,now where in the world will u see this kind of injustice if not Nigeria because at the end of the day wen allocations will be given, the old Kano will differently be getting higher allocations because it has more L. G. A's than Lagos and this was wat Tinubu tried to correct by creating more L. C. D. A's before Obasanjo became a dog in the manger. U guys think u own this country and everything therein, u re making a very big mistake as the tide will surely turn someday because we can't just continue like this.

True federalism is the only way out of this logjam so that every component can develop at her pace and pay taxes to the central government just like it should be done.

sanpipita:
Can you kindly tell me what could constitute a criminal offence, and is it possible for a Judge to be removed with any possible offence, now with a possible offence hanging around a Judge, can you kindly tell me who is within powers to investigate and prosecute the Judges. since the NJC are just there to remove Judges
