OLAADEGBU: Does what you look at make you think filthy thoughts or pure?

Ngwakwe: @Logic Mind
Having thoroughly under-studied and typically analyzed your views, I can confidently put it to you that:

1. You have a Christian parents
2. Your found out that your preachers were hypocrites
3. You understood that faith and reasoning should go together against just believe
4. You believe that Conviction (belief) should be periodically tested as to invalidate it or reconfirm it.
5. You are rigid in religious interpretations, meaning an assertion or proclamation should have a definite meaning and not vague or ambiguious.
6. You hate hypocrisy
7. Your IQ is above average and you like challenging the status quo ante
8. You accept the truth when convince but not openly.

My friend you are not an Atheist as you claim but a Prodigal son that his anticipated welcome will be highly celebrated.

You are definitely the type to lead the Church of Jesus Christ in this perverted generation. I look forward to welcoming you. You are almost my type

OLAADEGBU: So you don't want to elaborate on what you think about while you at it?

OLAADEGBU: It is good news to my ears to know that Bob Marley actually committed his life to Christ long before he died of cancer.

chux76: I am embarking on this fasting specifically because I want something from God,and I cant go to any secluded place for the fasting so I have to do it where I am.

LagosShia: if so,then stop wasting your time. No need to preach what you're not doing.

OLAADEGBU: Be Instant
April 18, 2012

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine" (2 Timothy 4:2)

Paul's "charge" to young Timothy, just before the great apostle's martyrdom, was urgently needed by Christians in those early days of persecution and incipient apostasy, and his words are even more appropriate today.

The admonition to "be instant" is worth special note. The Greek word ephistemi is translated in various ways ("be present," "be at hand," "come upon," etc.). The main idea is simply to be there, doing what needs to be done at the time it is needed. In this particular context it is stressing the Christian's responsibility to be there with the right words from the Word of God--words of exhortation, of doctrine, of reproof if needed, yet words given patiently, even when rebuffed by the hearer. "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man" (Colossians 4:6).

Furthermore, the charge applies not only to those times when we are officially on duty, so to speak. It applies to off-hours as well as work time. Be instant out-of-season, as well as inseason! The Christian must always be "on call" when God calls.

The apostle could rightly issue such a charge because he himself had set such an example. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: . . . thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience" (2 Timothy 4:7; 3:10). It is touching that Paul could then use the same word (ephistemi) concerning his own coming death, when he said, "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand" (2 Timothy 4:6). He was as ready to die as he had always been to speak, for the Lord! HMM

OLAADEGBU: Right Thinking
April 19, 2012

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, . . . honest, . . . just, . . . pure, . . . lovely, . . . of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8.)

Our lives are surrounded with ungodliness and demands that often bleed away our thoughts until we are worn and weakened. Reflect for a few moments on this inventory of empowering thinking.

• Truth--Literally "that which is not hidden"; Jesus Himself (John 14:6); the Word of God (John 17:17; Psalm 119:11).

• Honesty--Not just accuracy, but "sober" and "venerable"; sometimes "magnificent" or "great"; used of church officers (1 Timothy 2:2; 3:8.)

• Justice--Righteous, just, right, suitable; "The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom. . . . The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable" (Proverbs 10:31-32).

• Purity--Morally and sexually chaste; closely connected with "holiness"; the emphasis is on physical and mental purity (1 John 3:2).

• Loveliness--Beauty, friendship, delight, and wonder are all suggested by the "good love" of this word (Luke 12:27).

• Good News--This takes discipline, because there is far more bad news than good in this world; we are admonished to take "inventory" (dwell on, recall) the "good reports" (Proverbs 25:25).

These excellent and paiseworthy matters should dominate our thinking in a conscious "inventory" of the attributes on this final list. If we do so, God promises His peace in our lives. HMM III

ekwah: Logic mind have you seen evolution in action before? YES
Did Darwin see evolution in action? YES
Has any scientist seen evolution in action? YES

see https://www.nairaland.com/917045/heavy-blow-atheists/1

Have I seen God in action YES!!! Where exactly did you see him and what was he doing?

I don't even understand how reasonable men put faith in the soooo limited knowledge/power of fellow men. me neither. I am not a Christian because of stories mehhn. Really? (roll eyes) Wetin my eyes don see, mouth no fit talk. We have heard it all before. Una just dey deceive una self, simple! If you get your so called "logic mind" and also shine ya eyes wella? U go see say u are on the wrong track mehn. please show me the way. NO ONE can deny Gads existence. At all! laye e no dey happen. It just did. oops!

Blackteeth: meaning?

Blackteeth: Wow. Is this how handicapped you are? Everything is made up of matter as the basic unit. isnt it? All biochemical processes involve matter. Isnt it? Then tell me where matter originated from and stop repeating same nonesense defence..

rastamouse: Thank you. Lets do this tomorrow

Pastor AIO: Somebody should please lock this thread or transfer it to the sexuality section or health section. It is disgusting me and I don't see the connection with religion.

rastamouse: I will like you on one on one on why there is NO GOD? Will you take up the challenge?

rastamouse: So this is the basis of your unbelief?

jmoore: @logic mind, you will only understand when you are willing to learn, no need arguing further if you can't understand what I explained

bigd4050: You misunderstood me. I'm saying if we took your line of thought, no one should work out. I'm saying some pain is good for the body, it makes it stronger. Working out was my example.

You see, I understand what your saying, but as a Christian, I can't condone things that will bring harm like that. Neither of those things are beneficial. Heroine destroys you and anal sex brings harm. I'm not saying I'm gonna go around telling people that, its a rather small point in the spectrum of Christianity, but I won't say I agree with it either. Fair enough?

jmoore: @logic mind, if you looked carefully from chapter one to chapter 2 verse two, you should have seen that the particular day was written accompanied with what was created.

Further down from chapter 2 verse 5 to 7 that you quoted, what was created was not accompanied with the day they were created. If you applied your "logic mind" without assumptions you should have known that the bible never in anyway did contradict itself.


Genesis 1 is the account of the creation of the universe and life on planet earth as it happened in chronological sequence. Genesis 2 is simply an expanded explanation of the events that occurred at the end of the sixth creation day - when God created human beings. Genesis one provides virtually no details about the creation of human beings (other than the idea that humans were created in the image of God). For a book that is dedicated to the relationship between humans and God, four verses seems like a rather poor explanation for the creation of God's preeminent creature. This is because Genesis one was never intended to stand apart from Genesis 2 and 3. Genesis 2 describes God's preparation of a specific location on earth (Eden) for habitation by the first human beings. Part of the confusion results from our English translations, which use the term "earth" when the Hebrew would better be translated "land."

st.okolie:
really adaptation and evolution can be argued as two different concept.

bigd4050: That's an obnoxious statement. No one should ever work out then, or push themselves in any way. Some harm is good, if it is to help your body get stronger like tearing down your muscles. I have heard from plenty of people who practice anal sex that harm does come. I don't need the personal experience. Your holding a complete double standard about experience compared to what people tell you. Because I hold the stance of a Christian, I have to try it, yet you don't need to try heroine because other people think its harmful? What about the people who enjoy using it to get high? Shouldn't you try it for yourself, maybe you have a high tolerance for it and won't be affected? Your standard for me applies to you as well.

numo86: @ the end of d day we all have to put faith in something or believe something.....abi?
Either in evolution,darwins words or in d almighty God(Yahweh).....

When we all argue its either we theists quote frm d bible or quaran to prove God created everytin or if an atheist,try to quote words of previous atheists,books,evolution etc...

Only time will tell who has been correct all along.....

But 1 thing I'm damn sure of is that behind all things created wether seen or unseen there is an intelligent powerful being behind it all....

And we all know who that is.......

rastamouse: What is this funny guy saying?

Blackteeth: I cant stop laughing. If lightning and sand produce fulgerite glass, then what produces lightning and sand? You may say atomic reactions, but what produced atoms?

ea7: if the disciples were like you, then their deaths were inevitable. Even your paul argued with greek philosophers and convinced them with logic (in the story). How do you propose to win our souls anyway.

bigd4050: The reason his response is wrong is because he stated that "you can't know something unless you try it." Now he says "I can know something I haven't tried because other people tell me." That is a contradiction. The fact that anal sex is consentual and the others are not is irrelevant. They both WILL bring harm to the person the act is done to.
