PoliteActivist: ((As you folks can guess, I was banned again by the "antispam bot" (wink, wink) - any time you don't see my posts, know I was banned)) *I'll continue my response to moniker JessicaRabbit from my next post. I'll break it up into very small pieces, let's see what happens
LordReed, natural selection is simple, it is people like you that try to complicate it for your own agenda. Simple: those with heritable traits that favor survival and reproduction will tend to leave more offspring than their peers, causing those traits to skyrocket in frequency over generations, while unfavorable ones die off.
In humans those traits would be: loving broccoli and hating juicy, sumptuous steak; loving going to the gym more than chilling and watching TV; loving drinking lots of plain water instead of sweet drinks; loving bland foods instead of salty, tasty foods.
Well, if you look around you you'd notice hardly any humans have those traits, yet according to natural selection those should be traits of over 90% of humans!
Natural selection sounds very good on paper, and very logical but it often doesn't pan out in real life.
You have a feeling humans have always liked those things and will always like those things. Just as lions have always liked meat, and sheep have always liked grass - none of that is from natural selection! How does loving broccoli aid your reproductive dominance? |

Aemmyjah: What is the proof of his Godship? His word (inspired) are still intact and available to almost 💯 of earth population and languages? Or that the original copies should be available? He could decide to allow just the original copy survive? So?
What was inspired is God's Word, [b]not the materials in which they were written. [/b]Even without the originals, millions still accept it as his word, the blind will not see cos they're mentally blind and laugh at their blindness like a lone hungry hyena I read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. A prof asked me what I was reading and I turned the cover and told him, he said it's not the book cos that's not what he read as a boy when the book was first released . I am still reading the same content and the first copies will eventually be lost. Whether on a stone tablet, scroll, manuscript, animal skins, parchment, electronic device, book, etc. Generations have been reading God's word in every readable format and that Author ha fulfilled his promise that his Word will last throughout all generations. Let all kinds of readable materials perish, the message endures forever. Goodnight Greetings to your family 😉 What you don't seem to realize is the more you keep making your god to have the same capacities as men the more it shows just what your god is, nothing but a creation of men. |

Family › Re: My Senior Colleague And His Wife's Messy Marital Life. Things Are Happening by LordReed(m): 11:47am On Mar 02, 2024 |
EreluRoz: There's this very nice married senior colleague of mine who is having a very messy marital life, my other colleague hinted me about it and I actually got close to him and eventually gets him to pour out his heart to me.
According to him, he got married at early 40s to his very young wife as at then who was 19years. Infact he said his mother-in-law never approved of their marriage but his wife insisted and with the support of the father-in-law they got married. However after their first child, he enrolled the wife in a university to further her studies as she married him as a secondary school dropout. That was the beginning of his chaos, that was the beginning of seefinish according to him, that was the beginning of nightmares in his home.
It started by getting reports from people who knows him(he's rich and popular in his home town) about his wife's wayward lifestyle with lecturers and administrative staff, so many nasty reports and how she throws herself at some of these people which many people never believed she was married. Eventually she graduated and came back home, he never confronted her because he really loved her, so he let everything slide. She got pregnant for their second child and when she was due for delivery she had an accident that almost claimed her life, fortunately she was saved and her baby survived as well but unfortunately she won't be able to have more children. She started complaining about everything and how this man has reduced her beauty and even reporting him to his friend about everything happening in their home. The friend always advise him to send her away but he couldn't do it for the sake of his children.
So she advanced by telling this man that they should no longer welcome visitors in their home, family members are not welcomed as well and if you want to see him, he will give you a location to meet him but definitely not his house. This man became a shadow of himself that he refused family interference as well.
He told me she dresses provocatively and goes out and comes back at will. Then he decided to hack her WhatsApp and what he saw was a mess that he couldn't ever imagine in his life. This woman sends her nude and indulge in sex videos with different kind of men, some are way younger than her and all other sorts of dirty activities.
Having discovered all these things about his wife, he still has not summoned the courage to chase her out, she even goes to her room and lock herself to do nude videos to send to different men but he's still saying whenever he wants to chase her away he thinks about his kids and won't be able to do so.
The recent one she's doing is planning to relocate abroad to meet one of her lovers and she's already processing visa and even threatening the man that soon she'll leave him to go enjoy her life. As it stands now, they are just living together and don't talk to each other or even cook for him. She threatened the man that she'll kill him if he dares stand against her plans and he has gone to the police station to make report concerning this.
He asked me what I think he should do and I told him it's quite a pathetic story that will need the advise of an experienced person, I actually played smart on him because I was told he doesn't take advise and that he has been advised severally to end the marriage with her but he always have no courage doing that. This man has developed blood pressure due to all he's facing from his wife.
What grip could this woman be having on him?
What is the best way out for him and if the wife's relocation eventually fails, should this man continue to live with this woman?
He obviously need help but unfortunately he has chased his family away and stopped friends from getting close, how would you help this kind of man who unfortunately found himself in this deep mess? If he can't summon courage to tell her to leave then he should summon courage to just leave her. |

You don't know what you're talking about Just as I can't debate your experiences, you can't debate mine. I was a Christian I experienced all these emotional highs and I know now what they are though at the time I thought they were spiritual experiences. Even now I still get them, they are wonderful but I don't chase them anymore because they are meant to be experienced not chased. |

Dtruthspeaker: Wrong example. As set by God, parents and children are equal with cbildren been temporarily made less than parents until they fill that place, so the fear/respect is supposed to drop and for parents who done very well the space of unbreakable Respect remains between them and their children.
And if their children are usenone, then the childhood gap remains. So this one no work. It's not whether the parents and children are equal, it's about progressive change that is inevitable. |

hahn: I would advice you to play along.
There is no need gaining religious enemies in this society of ours.
Go to church, be regular, become and usher and gradually work your way to the top and even become a pastor.
There are many perks to being able to control a multitude of people and you will be able to build a network of people willing to do the most just for you to "pray" for them.
I know of youth pastors who were getting free fuel during fuel scarcity, free transfers from their members and free kpekus from the church ladies.
Most people crave subjugation and if you can be in that position to manipulate and exploit them then you should grab the opportunity.
You really have nothing to lose.
For more guidance, you should read the "48 laws of power" by Robert Greene. I wish I could take your advice. I am the kind of person that people easily trust, and I have always been in leadership positions, but my conscience won't let me undertake such a massive scale of deception. May be when I am older and a little more jaded, I would try it but right now I am enjoying my life free of religious bullshit. |

As someone who hates any type of attention, most times, I pretend to be an unserious, non-churchgoing christian but that only seems to draw these people's attention to me.
Last semester, a guy invited me to church, service was scheduled for 7am, by 6:30am, this guy came to my room to wake me up! His face was literally the first thing I saw in the morning. It was so annoying. This is just one out of the many annoying things this guy and other "evangelists" have done to drag me to their church. I don't want to be known as an atheist for obvious reasons, yet, I want to ward off people like this guy and his ilk. I'd like to hear from other atheists.

sukkot: So I am guilty of making prophecies that never pan out the exact time I say they would. It's just sometimes these energies are there but they are not activated by the universe. And so we know in part and prophesy in part. And so just because a prophesy did not fully pan out does not mean you don't know what you are doing, it's just that you can read the energies but will the energies be utilised by the universe ? Anyway I digress
Am looking at these upcoming energies, the supermoon on the 10th of March and then the eclipse on the 25th of March and finally the total solar eclipse and supermoon of the 4th of April. Now I am not going to bore you with the astrological Mumbo jumbo so let's just get straight to the point. The universal activation to attack and take down Israel would be approved on 10th of March but I believe the deed would start being done on 22nd of March in the midst of Ramadan and in Aries season, blowing the rams horn. I believe this would be the official declaration of the world war as Iran starts it's offensive on Israel. The USA would join the fray forcing Russia and China to join the fray and side with Iran. Lots of destruction and millions would be killed and by the total solar eclipse and supermoon of the 8th of April Israel and the USA would have been demolished and the new world order would automatically be established with Russia as the new global superpower and china as the new global economics power and the BRICS as the new global economic conglomerate force. Expect the whole of Europe after being conquered to be overan by Islam and Europe would be turned to an Islamic continent ruled by Islamic warlords from all over the Islamic world. The USA will decline and fall into third class status as the centre no longer holds and anarchy ensues. The brown peoples of America would see this as an opportunity to emerge and take power from the whites which would result in a civil war . Many African countries would join BRICS and stArt to thrive under the fair economic trade agreements. Africa would rise. So this 2024 is going to be very crazy. Towards the later part of the year as the USA and Europe descend into world war and civil war chaos there will be epidemic japada of Nigerian economic migrants from those places back to Africa as they flee these war torn locations . 2024 is a year of divine reversals and divine interventions and purge LoLz. You don come again. |

Aemmyjah: Many of us know that the books of Kings and Chronicles contain parallel accounts of what the history of the Kings of Israel and Judah. The book of Kings were written by Jeremiah and Chronicles was written by Ezra and they were not contemporaries. Many critics and atheists point to this contradiction. Let's examine it.
2 Kings 8:26 NKJV Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
2 Chronicles 22:2 NKJV Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri.
How could Ahaziah be both 22 years old and 42 years old when he started to reign? How old was Ahaziah when he ruled Jerusalem? 22 or 42?
Before we answer, let us understand that the original copies of the scriptures are lost. What we have are copies of copies and there are several of them. While the copyists were meticulous in their copying, there were likely some mistakes and the best way to know is by comparison. For example, in high school whenever I miss class, I borrow two notes on that subject cos it's likely I may not see something clearly on a particular note or something was omitted so I'll check the other. But where I was not sure, I'll ask for other notes and still compare and I'll get the correct text. I did not have to go and ask for the teacher's note . Regarding the slight contradictions in the ages of Ahaziah. Comparisons of all the manuscripts we have help us to conclude that he was 22 years old when he ruled Jerusalem. The problem is not from the scriptures in itself but the copyist who made the mistakes. Unlike Bible writers, copyists are not inspired so we should not be surprised. Many translations have made the correction... The first image below is a screenshot from Wikipedia So when reading the Bible and we see something contradictory, don't conclude that God's word is invalid and full of error. Do a little more research, it's worth it. True, we don't understand everything in the Bible but that does not make it invalid either.
Enjoy So the god wanted his message to be broadcast to all the world but couldn't be bothered to make sure there were no copying errors? |

Jackanda1: God gives to a born again person what is called 'Tender conscience' powered by the SPIRIT.
To former christians now atheist. Remember when you were in christ and commited sin, you felt so much guilt and dirt, even something seemingly tiny like lusting after the opposite sex or telling white lies gave you so much discomfort that you had to kneel down,confess and repent.
Remember when you were able to believe and accept all the messges given by your preacher.
You had much confidence when you read the bible or prayed.
You had a fear of GOD and a desire to follow Him with so much joy.
All of these is as a result of this 'Tender conscience'.
When you start paying attention to atheism, you start drifting away from the SPIRIT of GOD, making it hard for Him to speak to you.
Most people believe in GOD but, the real children of God are those whom the Holyspirit speak to their conscience.
When you see yourself sinning and blaspheming God with no fear and guilt, you have seared your conscience(1timothy4:2-5). Lemme ask you, do you feel the same fear towards your parents now that you are older as you did when you were younger? |
