Kobojunkie:
These were you questions from earlier and my answer remains same.. as before...

Right, you are editorialising but don't want others to editorialise. I get it. LoLz.

MFGCooperative:
Man is a spirit inhabiting a natural body. Once he leaves his body, he'll be fully responsible as a spirit for the things he did while in his natural body. If that looks like scam to you, then, let it be scam.

Another thing you have no evidence for. Everything you are saying is just layers upon layers of nothing.

MFGCooperative:
It's your fate. You have the right to choose your fate.

God does not have to prove Himself to you. He'll punish you for denying Him anyway. He's mightier than you. He doesn't have to look for you at all. Who are you? Just make your choice and face the consequences of whatever choice you make. I already made mine, and I'm sure you've made yours. So, it's all balanced. Everyone to his own choices. I wouldn't blame your choice, neither should you blame mine. Everyone's choices shall speak when our eyes shall close in death.

LoLz. Very convenient that the consequence is after death when nobody knows anything anymore and can neither see or speak, very convenient. As convenient as a scam. Tehehehehe.

Story. LoLz

MFGCooperative:
Whether He reveals it to him or not, that doesn't stop Him from existing. God is not your servant. He wouldn't meet you on your terms.

Whatever. A god that can't respond is as good as not existing.

MFGCooperative:
He's not a prophet. That's a place for prophets or those who have the gift of the word of knowledge. He can only know your location if he was specially given divine revelation. God is careful what He gives to men because He doesn't want us to be destroyed by pride

Start by looking the link below. You'll find your answers.

That doesn't concern me. All I want is for your god if he really exists to reveal my full home address to him.

No nah. I created the thread to ask why people still smoke and why cigarettes are still sold when such a side effect is known.

Well how do you know that the side effect is as stated?

HarlequinLekex:
I asked how true it is,I only hear stories of such

Because they are just that, stories. If they were more than stories you'd have seen the videos.

Hismasterpiece:
Okay. My point is that not everything scientists say about everything is correct. If what you say about the sun is true why don't we hear about people catching cancer from sun exposure?

So how do you know smoking causes lung cancer if its not from the same scientists you say are not correct. You don't get to cherry pick facts.

Speaklove:
Ho God!
lord of all the earth !
Visit us again ,and take away the iniquity of the land ,and let peace reign again in our midst .
Cause your righteousness to flow like a river
And justice like a fountain of a great fall .

Arise and shine upon us ho sun of righteousness .

Forgive us ,and pardon our unbelief .
Strengthen. And quicken us ; and we shall call upon thee as the child cries after it mother.

Cause us to thirst for thy word as a nursing child thirst for its mother's milk .

teach us to wait on thee as the farmers waits for the rain

Do not turn away forever but remember us once again - ho remember Jerusalem your Church and Israel you people
Remember me ho God - my righteousness

10 months and your god cannot tell you my address? LoLz.

Well, I feel very happy to have my own fair share of this day to day breakfast that’s served on relationship. But in this case, I wasn’t dumbed rather, I tried to make peace with her while I stopped loving her.

It all started 2 years ago when I met this girl, she was everything I had always admired in a woman, I talked to her and we started up as friends and after a period of about 4 months we started dating. Meanwhile she had a guy in her life oooooo but I didn’t even care as I just wanted to be in her life.

Initially, I had thought she was from a very wealthy home considering her beauty and looks, she always dress nice but when I started dating her, I automatically became the bread winner in the family. She was dead broke but I never mind, my likeness for her didn’t change a bit... I mean, I still liked her even more.

After 5 months of being in a relationship with her, she had an issue with her boyfriend and they broke up. The first lie she told me was that the boyfriend found out about me and this caused their break up. I hardly believe mere words so I didn’t believe her, I only noted those words she said with hopes of finding out the truth someday.

Now!! I ought to become the only man in her life right ?? oya come and see gobe!

After a while, she moved in with me and this was when I started to understand what the noun called “woman”. Relationship ought to be pure and sacred, but that’s not what it is now ooooo as the first red flag I saw in her where lies, Jesus!!! The girl tells lie at every glimpse, I started to trend with care.

One day I realized she was arranged for hookup, I swear, my head big that day... my girl friend that lives with me in my house wants to go have sex with a guy she has never seen nor does she know. Well, as a man who is eager to know, I confronted her but didn’t break up with her as I was curious to know what relationship really means.

Confronting her made me feel she’ll have a repentant mind set but guess what? The story just got more interesting. 3 months later she cheated on me, and yet again I caught her. She apologized and I forgave her almost immediately, I didn’t even show any sign of anger at all. As I felt she would this time have a repentant heart.

My dear nairalanders this girl has been cheating on me up and down, that I can’t even mention, I keep catching her and she keeps apologizing.

Please Note: I am financially doing very well as I am able to provide for all her needs, there is something I always brag about that there is nothing she ever asked from me that I didn’t provide.

Believe it or not, our sex life is perfect as I have seen a chat she had with a friend where she confessed nobody has ever had pleased her in bed like I do, I can stay in bed one hour and I’m a very romantic man.

She has never caught me cheating as I have always been faithful to her.

I’m saying all these to make the readers understand that the relationship actually lacks nothing. But still this girl finds it hard to close her legs.

Well, the last time I caught her having an affair with a married man, we quarreled and settled but believe me, the love is dead and buried.

So if you’re out there and you find a woman that’s manageable please adore her and make her feel special, the specie of a virtuous woman is going into extinction gradually but we’re yet to notice.

Just feel like sharing my own experience and I’m curious to see the comments that will follow.

LoLz! You were dating someone who already had a boyfriend and you are now rambling because she cheated on you. You are not serious.

Kobojunkie:
1. So, from the opinions stated by individuals who claim to be Christians, this since what you claim is not documented anywhere in the Gospels?

2. You are adding here your opinion as if a fact of Christianity.

So it's not documented in the gospels that they are infact the word of god?

I am sure you already know my opinion of Christianity and the Bible but that's not what the question is here. The question here is your opinion of the Bible. Your opinion sections off part of the Bible same way you are resisting other people from sectioning off the Bible.

Hismasterpiece:
The topic can always change. Tell me, when you hear a scientist say dinosaurs existed millions or even billions of years ago does that make any sense to you?

Open a fresh thread to discuss dinosaurs and the age of the earth while we continue to issues the topic in your OP here.

Kobojunkie:
1. Where abouts did you obtain this claim of yours from?

2. You seem to be the one guilty of editorializing i am afraid.

From any Christian who believes the bible is the word of the god.

LoLz. Tell me how I am editorialising.

Grandmeister:
Have you actually taken a good read at the links you posted?
1. Evolution says a fish can evolve into a land mammal and can evolve into an air dwelling mammal. You’re talking about speciation in a controlled environment.
2. We have ligers (a mix of tiger and lion) and other mixes of species that DO NOT occur naturally.

Evolving from a single cell organism to multicellular is not just speciation. This is producing what is in effect a whole other type of organism just as the theory predicts. You might be thinking evolution is some kind of magic show that produces rabbits out of hats but thats your own misunderstanding of what evolution is.

Not sure why you are mentioning ligers. I gave you examples of speciation in the wild, how do ligers figure into that?

Kobojunkie:
Editorializing what exactly? I don't follow at all.

You state that Paul's writings are simply his opinion but the gospels are the word of the god meanwhile the whole bible is viewed as the word of god not just a part of it. That therefore means you are providing your own opinion of those 13 books of the bible.

TV01:
Holá, This is the opener on the introduction to evolutionary biology page;

[/b] The opening definition is vague to the point of meaningless, as it does not actually lead to a conclusion as to what this "change in gene pool" actually leads to or results in.

Secondly, the example cited is not so much a "change in the gene pool", more a pre-dominance of a certain colouring due to preference. This is akin to saying for example, that the preference of Naija men for light-skinned women leading to a increase in the number of light skinned women over time is a change in the gene pool and thus by definition evolution.

Did you by any chance read the link you posted? And would it be fair to say you are pretty much , if not totally, in agreement with the contents?


Cheers

Not sure why I never responded to this but here goes.

I am not sure what you mean by "The opening definition is vague to the point of meaningless". That statement perhaps the most basic statement of what evolution is. It is not meant to provide a statement of what the outcomes must be because there are no definitive paths that evolution must take.

I am not sure what your point is about the example since these kinds of adaptations are part of the mechanisms of evolution.

The bit about the video is funny. Not sure why a person taking several moments to think means evolution is not a fact.

Grandmeister:
Lol you’re kidding right? Evolution is now observable? Lol
And what kind of natural selection are you talking about?

It has always been observable that's why an experiment can be designed for it. Here is an example: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-39558-8#Sec2

I didn't say natural selection, I said natural speciation. Here is what I am talking about: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/science-sushi/evolution-watching-speciation-occur-observations/
Here is another: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/11/us/skink-species-evolution-transition-scn-trnd/index.html
You can also look up the speciation of ensatina.

Billygee2u:
And why are they trying to make the world believe that Adam looks like the westerners ?

It's a joke.

Grandmeister:
The trick is, they put evolution so far in the past that nobody observed it and so far into the future that none will be alive to observe it too..a very convinent tactic.

LoLz! Nope. Evolution is observable right now. There a several experiments where evolution was observed. Even natural speciation events have occurred in our lifetime. So no its not a trick.

Kobojunkie:
I already more than explained this numerous times. So why ask the same question again?,

2.

I didn't ask the same question. Read my post again.

So you agree you are editorialising right?

Kobojunkie:
Everyone has opinions....if we go around believing the opinions of others wouldn't that make us all imbe_ciles?

Again, Paul's opinions I respect as his opinions much the same as I respect your opinions here. I do not disregard his opinions in the same way I do not disregard your opinions here.

What makes Paul's writings opinions and Matthew, Mark, Luke and John not opinions? And if those 13 books are simply opinions what are they doing in a collection of supposedly the word of the god?

Also if you adamantly claim they are Paul's opinions then they are not the word of the god which means you are editorilising.

Kobojunkie:
Paul's opinions I respect as his opinions much the same as I respect your opinions here. I do not disregard his opinions in the same way I do not disregard your opinions here.

You don't believe what Paul wrote so how exactly do you regard them? Especially during discourse you have repeatly said Paul's writings should not be quoted at you. I am not seeing how you regard them.

Kobojunkie:
I do not "disregard" any book out there. So I have no clue what your are churning there.

You have repeatedly said you do not hold with what Paul wrote so yes you disregard the 13 books attributed to Paul.

Kobojunkie:
Your Bible is simply a compendium of books written by different authors over different time periods, all as a way to convey their individual message regarding God and the things of God to those who will listen.

To suggest the book needs updating is to reveal stack ignorance of what is in fact contained in the pages of the book.

Huh? But you disregard at least 13 books of this compendium, isn't that an editorialisation?

Lizzbett:
My marriage is 9 years+, blessed with wonderful three kids, nine, seven and 2 yrs.

Am in my mid thirties while hubby is 40, but the issue here is i dont have the urge for sex anymore, any time hubby discuss about it, i hit back by telling him marriage is nit all about sex, and it pains him so much that sometimes it looks as if he want to cry. Some time, i just lay down and open my leg for him to penetrate just to satisfy his urge.

I was not like this, i like sex so much but these days, the urge has disappeared.

I dont know how to tell him that am no longer sex freak.

You need either a therapist or medical attention. Just know that this is a problem that other people have had and solved.

Tochj:
Why will anyone think that God don't exist?

Because reality doesn't align with any of the religious tales.
