@Ray Mc blue. Love your handle. You sound like a newly hatch athiest zealously and faithfuly carrying out the evangelical message of your group to undermine the credibility of Christianity. We are use to bashing, in fact we welcome it, since it gets us better and stronger. The inward conviction that we have is undented and irreproachable. We have been forwarned through prophecy that your type will come, to critise, blasphame and call us such unprintable names, but guess what! The joy of the Lord is our strength. This is something the world doesn't know and so can't receive. Keep living in illusion and continue to deceive yourself. I pray you recover from your hatred for God and its ppl b4 it becomes too late. NOTE: Logic doesnot explain God, but a divine encounter. Enough said. Shallom.

OLAADEGBU: With my limited knowledge and my physical senses I have the evidence of God's existence as I have said earlier. When I look at a building, how do I know that there was a builder? I couldn't want a better evidence that there was a builder than to have the building in front of me. I don't even need faith to know that there was a builder. All I need are eyes that can see and a brain that can think.

The same principle applies to the existence of God. When I look at creation, how can I know that there was a Creator? Creation reveals to me that there is a Creator. I couldn't want a better evidence that there is a Creator than to have the creation in front of me. I don't need faith to believe in a Creator, all I need are eyes that can see and a brain that can think.

"For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" (Romans 1:20).

But if I want the builder to do something for me, then I need to have faith in the builder. Likewise God, for

"Without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

If you need to know more about God you need faith based on His Word and World.



Turn the question around and lets whether you are dealing with facts here.

To be an atheist you must be certain that there is no God, are you certain? For you to be certain you must have absolute knowledge of everything. Let's say that you draw a circle which represents all the knowledge in the entire universe, to be certain that there is no God you must know how many hairs are upon every head, every thought of every human heart, every detail of history, every atom within every rock, and nothing is hidden from your eyes, you will be certain that you know the intimate details of the secret love-life of the fleas on the back of the black cat of Napolean's great-grandmother, you will be certain of what amount of gold or petroleum there is in China etc before you come to the conclusion that there is no God.

OLA, once again, you have nailed it. There's absolutely no point engaging folks whose heart God has given to deception. Like you rightly said, absolute knowledge is what that is required to wholly accept anything as true or false. I can't stop thinking how somebody wakes up one day to claim that one unconfirmed big bang fallacy created everything; animals, humans, plants, even my precious thoughts and consciousness which is totally abstract. What beautiful nonesense! Any way, God has described them long b4 they surface, so i'm not surprise. This contention is obviously a fulfilment of God's prophecy in the bible. Good riddance. All the same, thanks for exposing their foolishness by schooling them on a suppose issue they claim to know much. This is God's wisdom working in you.

Man has pride. And any act that suggest him not being in charge, he fights it vehemently. Beside, who doesn't want a daughter to be proud ; good education, wonderful career and a wonderful husband/family. If all these are good, what devil motivate girls into embracing every dick colour and size that approach them, causing undue pressure and headache to their dad? #just asking#

What most ppl tagged fear as used ignorantly by many men of God to ensnared their members should be reverence. The bridge Christ created btw God and man is one that is built on love and trust, hence Christ said we should come to the God's throne of grace bodly and find grace and mercy. I can never be afraid of God, because i know by revelation that in as much as He gave up Christ for me and i accepted, nothing on earth can stop God from loving me irrespective of my mistakes. Ignorance is the major reason why some born again Christian are always seeking for mercy for wrongs done, and this attitude will eventually generate fear. The day a man will fully comprehend God's love that will mark the end to his slavery of fear and intimidation of God.

@advocate 666. Whatever group or cult you represent. Let me remind you and your fraternity that you are fighting a lost battle. From time immemorial, that same message of the saving grace of Christ that you attempted to malign had been fought over the years by kings, lords, rulers et al yet unsuccessful. Whatever you have against xtians i don't know, but understand that our resillience is burn out of our genuine love and concerns for souls like you that had decided to align with what you don't have idea on. God have mercy on your soul, because this path you are trading is to dangerous for you. I smell anti-christ, but you came too late. The church of Christ will continue to march forward and the gate of hell will not prevail for our instruments of war are not guns, nuke but with the word of wisdom in our mouth. God helg you.

Rossikk: And you know this having conducted extensive research in the over 250 countries that make up our planet.

Or...(much more likely) it's a claim you've pulled, without the merest pretence at research, from the deepest recesses of your stinking butt.

Keep running your mouth like someone bewitch with ogbanje spirit since you are the self appointed p.a of the president.

That's my Jesus. The unchangeable changer. The rock of all ages. The mighty King. That's my Jesus. At His name, demons shivers. Infirmities, diseases disappears. That's my Jesus. God of peace, joy, prosperity. That's my Jesus. My refuge, my strenght, my safety, the banner of my love. That's my Jesus. The mercy one, the loving one, the forgiven one, the everlasting King. That's my Jesus. Who is like unto thee O Lord! Great and mighty in deed. I will forever praise you. I will forever love you. You are my God and my saviour. I will forever worship you my King. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for living in me. You have blessed me, increase me, prosper me. Your Kingdom is from everlasting to everlasting. There's is no end to your reign. The earth shall see your glory and marvel. I LOVE YOU MY JESUS. THAT'S MY JESUS. WE WAIT YOUR COMING.

deols: There were Muslims in the mall and there are always Muslims killed when these strikes happen.

Also Muslim businesses, etc

Where you there to affirm that muslims were among the casulties? Or haven't you heard the jihadist separated the muslims from the non muslims b4 they carried their attack? To think you are woman is disgusting. Your attempt is to paint islam in a good light and obviously you are trying to justify the heinous act in a civilised way. I don't care even if i get banned, because it is obvious that islam and their satanic practices remains the only worst thing that has even to us on this earth.

deols: Did you see anyone apologising? No Muslim has to apologise for this. I don't like that this happens. I am sad that it does but I owe no one apology for what I am not a part of.


Even the president of Ghana made it clear it is not a matter of religion.


It is a vicious circle, I am afraid.

Heartless! An attempt to save face. Keep fooling yourself. Those guys are the true practitional of the intent of islam. Is there end to this atrocities, the answer is no. The only near solution is to uproot islamic extrimists like you who are bent on destruction.

@Rhymeyjohn. Sorry, i was actually adressing mazaje. I mistakenly quoted you.

Rhymeyjohn: in never said they healed her ok?

Christ didn't go about healing everybody. Infact, it was recorded that He was unable to do anything in Capanum where He came from because of unbelieve. Many of the miracles He did were as a result of the ppl's faith. Miracle is base on the level of faith you have and demonstrated towards your healing. You will agree with me that after all that Christ did, some are still suffering terribly not because God takes any glory in it, but rather because of inadequate knowledge of God's Word. And that is why we said that Christianity is not a religion but a personal relationship with God. How much of God you know personaly determine your level of victory. And who said your amputee friend hasn't been restored? All he needs to do is to take hold of his miracle and it will manifest. Abraham though physically dead yet had a baby because he had faith. You will need one when the need arises.

I grew up to be very afraid of sleeping alone. But this faithful day after a late night movie in the living room, my younger brother that we share the room together decided that he will sleep in the living room. I had no choice than to sleep alone that night. Amidst fear after several attempt, i slept off. Not too long, i woke up, lo and behold, i saw this huge figure on my wall, bigger than any human i have ever seen staring at me with a stretch arm, instead of being afraid, the level of peace that envelop me was beyond words. Immediately, that fear disappeared and that day marked the end of fear for me. Deep down in my heart, i was sure it was an angel but i wasn't sure until this day in church when my attention was drawn to a scripture in Psalm 34 v 7 by my pastor and i affirmed that indeed it was an angel. I had a terrible itching once on my scrutum that defiled all medication. This day, wednesday to be precise, we came out for a touch a call made by my pastor. Reluctantly i went out, after a very short prayer, instantly the itching stopped, so much that it felt like a majic. The story of how a man who appeared to a friend mine a Ghanian on two occasion within two weeks who identified Himself as Christ are numerous instances of events of divine encounter with the supernatural. Such instances abound, but don't wait to see one b4 you believe. God don't live for you, rather you live for Him.

nwekesimon68: Thunder firre u there. Is this not wat gej is doing to stop? Is it why he wanted to remove subsidy? Is it nt why he encourages our bank to help complete dangote 9b dollars he wanted to use 4 his refinary? Think b4 u talk ok. Importing fuel to naija by our leaders started during the military regime idiott

And must you insult him b4 making your point? And what has fg done with the amount regularly realised from the partial removal of subsidy? Has the money been judiciously utilgsed to justify the call for complete removal of the susidy? What happen to Sure P and how has it directly affected the infrastructure for which it should be purpose for instead of this reinbursement to faceless ppl which has not brought about any meaninful change? Since oil is our major earner, what stops fg from priotising it and making sure it channelled resources even if it means borrowing to revamp the refineries to full capacity? You guys are just too full of baseless ranting and rumbling for tribal sake.

mazaje: There is nothing intelligent or "mater piece" in what he wrote down, comparing the brain to a piano is asinine, while the piano always needs the player, the brain does not because the brain is you, it can make you do what it wants you to do against your will. . .The piano can not make music on its own. . .The brain can generate thoughts on its own against your will when in some state. . .

No offence. Isn't it plain silly to say that the brain is responsible for thoughts, dreams and vision (motion pictures of events that many times replicate itself in the real word ) an event that hold no connection to the physical realm? I will give you an instance mazaje: sometimes last 3yrs, a friend of mine had a dream, was attack and bitten by a dog. When he woke up, that exact spot where he was bitten by a dog on his tomb was badly injured, with a deep cut yet with no blood stain. How do you explain that? Sometimes we must be careful how we make certain utterances about things that we totally can explain. Believing in God is not an outright denial in the work of science, but when one is hell bent to prove logic what is beyond logic or common sense, that is where some of us frawn at. I appreciate science and i believe every Christian does, infact there are many Christian scientist but the evangelical tendency of athiest to disregard experiences beyond this sphere of thousand of ppl is nauseating. If not, how do describe the reality of me to have seen a human figure in my bedroom which i later learnt was an angel? Or that of my friend Christo a Ghanian, who someone appeared to him physically, spoke to him and identified himself as Christ? Similar experience like the ones i mentioned above occur. But to wave it aside because you don't understand shows you and your likes have a pre determine mind not to believe. If was ever in your shoe without compromise or bigotry, i take time to make proper researches; ask questions and find out the authenticity of all these claims about abstract events instead of lazingly depending on links from fellow athiests just to satisfied your craven.

remark D: Nice, That's my lady right there!

Haters take a dive or better still hug a transformer - no one will care or even notice! heheh

Lots of people, the average Joe of the streets of Naija might not know or feel directly the impact of this womans works and policies.... but if it was crafty hands that were carrying our economy right now... I'll leave it at that.

God bless this great Igbo lady! (for choosing to come back to this country to serve our people - every Nigerian who love & loathe her).

God bless GEJ! (Whom despite all the distractions and hurdles thrown on his path so he will fail and be frustrated out of the Aso rock, has not been moved... if anything, his amazing performance, again, in light of all the hurdles, is cruising to 2019!).

God bless the Federal Repblic of Nigeria!!!

Nma mma nu.

And who engineered subsidy removal unannounce? Tribalis! Was she not part of Obj govt? Did anything change? Presently, has anything change, with regard to job creation? I don't have anything against her, but against folks like you blinded by bigotry, would rather sing her praises to heaven even when there's very little simply because she is igbo.

skyluv2000: Okonjo Iwela is not only a co-ordinating minister or just a minister, but a flamboyant, elegant, charismatic and a prominent mother in nigeria,west Africa,Africa and World in general.she is a famous celebrity and world economic reformer.So all these local and petty propopaganda political juganuts should go and kiss the toilet sit. Confused and biased Governors. Abeg Madam Ngozi carry go jare. We ibos and southerners are solidly behind you.

Sick tribalist.

Mr anony: There is a blunder here which is that you are asking me to show you in material terms something that is immaterial. You can't even prove that anything other than you is conscious. You only assume this by projecting your internal reality upon other people.

I'll give you an analogy: Imagine that you are a musician and your brain is a piano. For some reason, we cannot see the pianist but we know that there is a pianist because we can hear the music and see the keys move. suddenly, the piano stops, no more music and no more moving keys. Is it the piano that was generating the music or was it the pianist? Mind you, the piano is still there and all its parts are intact. It is not the piano that is creating the music, rather it is the pianist. The piano is only a tool for making music and once the pianist leaves it, it returns to being an inanimate object.

Compare this to the brain. The brain does not will itself to act, you are in control of your brain. like the piano and the unseen pianist, we only only hear the music (or see the brain light up) once the conscious you leaves the body, all the components of the brain are still intact yet it does not function (like the abandoned piano without a pianist). This is proof that the brain does not generate consciousness rather consciousness is created by an immaterial you using the brain as the tool to create it. In the same way that the piano does not generate music but is the tool used by the pianist to make the songs

Chai. Sir, i love you. The Spirit of God indeed is with you. The wisdom of men is truely foolish. This is a master piece.

Mr anony: Let us test your thesis with a simple question:

Can you decide to think about a something and then go ahead to think about it?

If your answer is yes, then it is you who causes brain activity to happen and since you will have to already possess consciousness in order to do that, it cannot be said that your brain activity causes consciousness.

If on the other hand, your answer is no i.e. you cannot decide to do anything then you neither know nor can control what your brain does, you cannot therefore be said to be conscious.

So my friend, I'm afraid you are wrong here. Brain activities do not create consciousness.

MR ANONY.This is the summation of the entire topic. This infact is the answer to every question on consciousness and the existence of God. You just nailed it. God bless richly.

Rexphobia: No be like.

Corruption in Nigeria is institutionalized. You will rather offer bribe than do things the right way.

For instance,

1. Settle Law enforcement agents than visit their office
2. Admission racketeering
3. Pay to get your license, international passport, etc in 48hrs than queue under the scourging sun and wait for eternity for issuance.

I can go on and on. We have all in one way of the other been actively or otherwise involved in corruption.

Our system currently supports corruption. We need to start the reforms from there.

Uncle Jo is only exposing some of the lapses and we want to kill him already. He didn't start this process.

I no say him sef no get him own o, him hand sef dirty wella.

Safe

Spot on bro. The system is the very factor that encourage the populace to indulge in corruption. Imagine in a police station where you have to pay for a pen, fullscap or settle a traffic waden for a minor offence. If the govt strengthens the institutions, the system and Nigerians will follow suit.
