i am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Imagine a factory floor with an assembly line that puts humans together. Image123 comes down the line with a pole protruding out of his head hooked to the conveyor that moves the humans to the next assembly station.

Image123 hangs there as the technician fumbles with a bag of eyes and fearfully selects two eyeballs to go into the eye sockets. The technician is fearful because he previously ruined seven eyeballs, three brain stems, and six pairs of thighs while working on Image123 and he is liable to be fired. Thankfully he was able to fit the eyes in the sockets and tighten the butthole. Now Image123 can say he was fearfully and wonderfully made.

How is my statement that humans will make the world inhabitable about “my little street”and how is it any different from what you said about the harmful effects of some human activities?!!!

You created “my little street” in your mind just so you can throw around insults while goofing.

Good for you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made although I have no idea what that means.
Instead of setting up straw men why don’t you stick to the question of why a man would war with ants when there are other ways to deal with the anthill?
You said the man created the ant and anthill, so why doesn’t he just create a better ant and anthill instead of the psychopathic yearning to war with the sinful ant.

Duh, the Man created the ant and the anthill. You ants are capable of repenting and believing, you are capable of submission to your Maker instead of preparing to battle Him. Don't you see that the ants are already bent on setting the anthill on fire?

If the man created the ant and the anthill, why are we blaming the ant for the will and actions of the man? The ants obviously aren’t setting the anthill of fire nor do they intend to, and they are actually incapable of setting the anthill on fire.

Why would a man need submission from an ant? If this man is capable of creating ant and anthill, why doesn’t the just create another ant that will yield to his every whim. Why burn the ant minding his own business?!!

The will and plan of God is to establish righteousness and peace on God's Earth and that will be done when Jesus Christ comes again. It will be done whether the world likes it or not. Obviously, your colleagues don't seem to want it peacefully so far.

So the man will burn the anthill because it his the will of the man to burn the anthill then create a new anthill with special ants.

It will be done without regard to the wishes of the ants. So it’s not a situation where the ants don’t want it peacefully but a situation where the man wants to use his flamethrower regardless of the ants wishes.

The question still stand about the man’s insistence on warring with ants. Why are Jesus and his father insistent on burning the ants? How can you blame the ants for a war they are incapable of avoiding because it is the man’s will to war against them?
The man could relocate the anthill without setting it on fire.

Ok impressive

Can you now explain abiogenesis or whatever you call it lol

And before that you already tell me what I want to hear which lordleed already accepted and I was waiting for you to accept too

"Theory of evolution doesn't answer the question relating to origin of life"""". That is enough for me

Put your god aside for a minute and reflect on what understanding of evolution would mean in a progressive and scientifically minded society that Nigeria is definitely not.

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/malaria-mosquitoes-evolving

The mosquito species most responsible for spreading malaria in Africa seems to be evolving into 2 separate species with different traits, researchers have found. The development may complicate efforts to control the disease.

Malaria is one of the most common infectious diseases in the tropical world and an enormous public health problem. It can bring fever, chills and flu-like illness. Left untreated, malaria can cause life-threatening complications. Each year, up to 3 million people die of the disease worldwide. The majority are young children in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Malaria is caused by a single-cell parasite called Plasmodium. Female mosquitoes can become infected after feeding on an infected human. They, in turn, can infect a new person when they feed again.

Anopheles gambiae is the mosquito that most commonly spreads human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. New populations of the insect evolve to exploit changing habitats and seasonal conditions, but these populations can’t always be distinguished from each other by traditional means. Genetic studies have found that there are at least 2 physically indistinguishable forms of A. gambiae, dubbed M and S. The success of mosquito control efforts depends on understanding the characteristics of these different mosquito populations, such as their feeding behavior and susceptibility to insecticides.

Two teams of researchers set out to use genomics to better understand the characteristics of A. gambiae populations. A group led by researchers at Imperial College London studied the complete M and S genome sequences. Another group, led by scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)—single differences in DNA sequence—among different A. gambiae populations. The projects were partly supported by NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).

The findings appeared in back-to-back papers in the October 22, 2010, issue of Science. When the researchers compared the genomes of the A. gambiae M and S forms, they found them to be more different than expected. The results suggest that the 2 forms may be developing into 2 separate species. The SNP analysis revealed that different populations can quickly evolve to behave differently and thrive in different habitats.

These studies lay a foundation for further investigating these emerging species. Future studies can now explore how genetic changes affect the ability of different mosquito populations to compete in various habitats. The results will be used to refine existing malaria interventions and inform the development of new disease prevention strategies.

"From our new studies, we can see that mosquitoes are evolving more quickly than we thought and that unfortunately, strategies that might work against one strain of mosquito might not be effective against another,” says one of the lead authors, Dr. Mara Lawniczak of Imperial College London. "It's important to identify and monitor these hidden genetic changes in mosquitoes if we are to succeed in bringing malaria under control by targeting mosquitoes."

Because it's a war from the ant's end. The Bible is primarily written for the "ant", not for God. Like you must have read, it was a very quickie war.

How is it a war from the ant’s end when the ant is absolutely powerless against the man?
How is it a war on the ant’s end when it is the man that’s coming with a team of exterminators and flame throwers? Meanwhile, the ants are minding their ant business.

It was a quickie war? Do you mean that the man has already destroyed the anthill?

Where have i ever said you made up war? From my OP i stated already that Jesus is said to be coming with an army. Your initial question was why God is warring if war is not His will. Stay focused man, there's no rigmarole, i am not you.
i said and proved already that you don't have to want or will war to go to war. You are a proof. You are at a self acclaimed existential war with roaches. i showed you verses showing humans prepared to battle.

If all the ants in an anthill can be destroyed by one man, how would humans go to war against a god?

The power disparity between one man and all the ants in an anthill should be infinitesimal when compared with the power disparity between a god and humans.
Why are Jesus and his father warring against “ants”?

You got it wrong.
Wrestling was real back then. But now it is Entertainment.
Then it was called WWF- World Wrestling Federation.
and IWF - International Wrestling Federation.

Now it is called WWE - world wrestling entertainment.

Back then it was brutal real wrestling with wrestlers having genuine grudge and dislike for each other.
I recall the fight between Steve Kean and Park Sung.
Steve Kean was having a fight with some dude, and then Park Sung who had a grudge with Steve came out of the dressing room and attack Steve and broke Steve neck.
It was so real.
Steve Kean was in hospital for 4 wks.
Then a few weeks ahead, Park Sung was having a fight with another man, then came Steve Kean to retaliate. He ran into the ring, gave Park Sung a beating and broke Park Sung leg. Viewers could see glaringly that Park Sung leg was broken the way it turned and twisted. It was so real. I still have goose pimples now as I recall the twisted leg.
I also recall the fight between Ugandan Kamala and Undertaker. U could see the raw fright in Kamala's eyes. And do you remember Shawn Michael's?? Shawn didn't fight like he was entertaining. He was cunningly wicked.
That was when wrestling was wrestling. Real fights.
But today Wrestling na entertainment. I stopped watching that silly drama they show now.

No, you got it wrong. Professional wrestling has NEVER being real. The only difference between the past and the modern day is that kayfabe has been broken. Magazines and internet boards in the 90s already pierced the veil and the internet has shattered the illusion. The only ones who think it’s real are mostly kids and a few incredibly credulous adults. In the past kayfabe was in and out of the ring.

Kayfabe:
(in professional wrestling) the fact or convention of presenting staged performances as genuine or authentic.

Ontological arguments are nothing but literary masturbation. You can define your god and give it all types of attributes but at the end of the day all you’re doing is describing something that doesn’t exist. No matter what words and phrases used to describe the nature of being of your god, you still have to produce proof that it exists because your words will NEVER suffice. And we all know that your god is not going to show up like it does in your stories. So yeah, ontological arguments are a waste of time and definitely not evidence. The only thing an ontological argument evince is your vocabulary.

Lack of critical thinking skills will lead one to blame a man born in 1991 for the decadence in Nigeria.

Naira Marley is a product of ignorant and superstitious parents, intellectually moribund religious institutions, utterly corrupt governments, and the intellectual and moral rot of the society he was unfortunate to be born into.

How old was Naira Marley when Babangida stole the nations wealth and retired comfortably to Minna, never worrying about prosecution? How old was Naira Marley when Abacha used the nations wealth to build up the Swiss banking system instead of his own country?
How old was Naira Marley when the Oyedepos and Adeboyes started their lucrative scams?
How old was Naira Marley when yahoo yahoo became prominent?

Mr. Marley is a symptom and definitely not the cause.

@ DeepSight,
There are reasons why I limit discussions on this type of topic. These are concepts that are beyond the mind. The mind is a product of the lower worlds of duality and trying to use it to understand concepts of unity or worlds that are above duality will send it into a whirlpool of increfulous disbelieve.
You need to experience these states of consciousness to have an understanding of them. The Sugmad Exist above the world of duality and is pure Love. Only when Soul has been able to master the passions of the mind in the lower worlds, can It be able to experience the Sugmad in the high spiritual planes where there is no duality.

The bullshit never ends. Lmao.
The Rigamarole exists above the worlds of duality and triplicity ensconced in the dimension of Quadrinity, and is Pure Ecstasy.
Don’t try to make sense of it, it is beyond the mind. You have to achieve a state of nirvaland consciousness coexisting with a state of blissful subconsciousness resting on a foundation of the unconscious to have an understanding of them.
This is why I limit discussions on this type of topic.

Such a ridiculous book

The ideas in the book weren’t created by goat herders nor even directed at goat herders. Yea, some of the ideas might be ridiculous but it takes genius to dress up absurdity in myth and allegories.

Don’t be adopting the white boy language where they disparage everything that doesn’t have its foundation in europe( most things they call western) or they don’t understand. The ideas in the Bible are more ancient than the 12 tribes of Israel themselves and go back to the the foundations of accumulated knowledge.

Give it a few years, if you are diligent you might figure it out.

Goat herders did not write the Bible nor is it the “goat herders guide to the galaxy”.

Instead of Jesus saying the quote below, imagine some philosopher/monk/priest sitting at a desk writing it. They write in code otherwise one might see their ruse but they certainly weren’t goat herders.

“10When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables 12so that, “ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’ a ”
