paxonel: so, what reference do you use to validate that God do not exist since you say "there is no book of atheism" ? because, obviously blind trust of believers or atheists have nothing to do with me or you respectively, except we want to keep generalizing thereby not letting the truth stand on it own objectively.
As for me this my reference :
Mark 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: Mark 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Jesus made this statement about 2000 years ago before he was crucified. 2000 years have pass now, Google it. Which herb(religion) is currently the greatest in the world? You will discover that it is Christianity.
How did Jesus knew that this will happen? Because he is God.
No mere human can ever, ever, ever, ever...
..make that kind of prediction.  It's not really a single book I reference to know that your god doesn't exist and in fact it's not really the books either, it's reality. Reality doesn't operate the way most of the so called holy books seem to portray it. Is there a bigger truth than the reality you and I both live in, I don't think so. Of course the Bible would say that, any community would guide against loosing it's members. Jesus saying people would stop believing is like me saying the sun will rise tomorrow, it is any inevitability but is been harnessed by the Bible to prove some kind of magical/supernatural power. TB Joshua is the prime example for our times, claimed to have the ear of God but couldn't forsee his own death or plan accordingly. Fact is no supernatural insight into the future can be properly demonstrated. One can take several educated guesses and narrow down a desired outcome but that isn't a supernatural power. Humans are subject to all manner of repeating pressures and behaviours that predictability is not far fetched at all. This is why analysts exist, they can take data, figure out the trends and make predictions based on it, doesn't require any kind of godlike power to do. |

MaxInDHouse: This is a lie and deceit! Books are recorded thoughts believed to be wise sayings meant to control the thoughts and actions of people who later read it! So if you often meditate on the utterances of people like Charles Darwin and co you're in no way different from religionists. The slight difference is that atheism lied to you that you're free as in freethinkers while the concept subtly infuse false ideas like evolution in your brains then since it's author (Satan) only wants you to be lawless he stylishly makes you feel you're better than others who are meditating on righteousness.
But the truth is whatever makes you wake up and think of correcting the thoughts of your fellowman equally makes you a believer in some forms of tenets even though you can't point out specifically what you want your neighbour to believe!  LoLz. That's your headache man. Bwahahahahaha! I have not asked anyone to believe anything. What I have asked is for people to be reasonable, believe whatever thing you want but act within reason. |

Image123: Suffering for righteousness sake. Jesus Christ was crucified like any thief but not same reason, Paul was in prison with many criminals but not same reason. Yeah so how are those people I mentioned suffering for righteousness sake? Do you mean you suffer once then you never suffer again? Besides how does suffering for righteousness sake make your suffering different from someone who is suffering for other reasons? Also why is this norm? It just seems so arbitrary meanwhile you are emphatic that it most happen to all who live godly in Christ. For instance Oyedepo's son, what suffering for righteousness sake has he endured? |

Kingsnairaland: This statement....
If you mix all the colors of the rainbow, what color do you get? If you mix all the-color..result is Light is Additive, meaning when you mix all colors of the visible spectrum you get white light..
Is from a scientific research article now I merely combined it with Adam and eve since they were white it was just a comparison to show you white men can born black then you disputed it then I made research and found out pigments of white people when defective can carry brown color in it
Yet you want us to go back to the past comparison as if knowledge is not always moving forward at least accept the new theory without finding past theory as an excuse to hold on too.
Well from this.... It proven all skin color has... the brown-colored pigment in everyone’s skin.
What is brown skin pigment called?
Answer... Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production.......
It shows Bible word stands sure
Now to the black race thing you said
Let not confuse ourselves Egypt were the first African nations in history and Egypt are white brown people so the Bible still stands

And you said your god gave them the right to be like other nations so you need to reconcile how they can be both like other nations and standout. |

Of course there is but it is not taken as a virtue as an atheist to "blindly" trust anyone. Also there is no "book of atheism" urging me to "blindly" trust its conclusions or compulsorily act according to its dictates so there is little avenue for me to develop that kind of "blind" trust. As a matter of fact all the popular atheists I hear always urge everyone to critically examine what they say. |

I will simply say Baba carry on jo  Really? Well good for you. Me on the other hand will not trust someone on a topic they have not previously shown accuracy in simply because they showed accuracy in a different topic. I tend to check things up and see how accurate they are. For me that kind of "blind" trust is what leads to being scammed and I don't want to be scammed. While you are satisfied with the accuracy of biblical prophecy ( a highly debatable point but that's for another day) and are willing to trust what it says about every other thing, I on the other hand have not found the Bible to be accurate enough to describe this reality around us so I cannot believe what it has to say about some other realm nobody has seen or can consistently describe.

So as time goes by Adam and eve descendant began to expirence those things listed above and the brown skin pigment began to emerge
So with the above examples Science has proven how brown skin came about.
If you won't believe science is it God that you will believe. LoLz. You said this: Kingsnairaland: Scientists have already done the research
And they found if you mix every color you get white which shows Adam and eve were white.............
When all three colors overlap, they blend to make white.

Two white people have capacity to give birth to different race . You are now attempting to change up without acknowledging your error. Besides you are still wrong. Humans came from ancestors in Africa who were obviously dark skinned. Through a combination of breeding and mutation, skin colour changed after they got to Europe, not the other way around.

It is written nowhere in History that genocides and land annexation were committed only by only the Nation Israel at even that point in time or any other.  So the god gave them the right to commit genocide and land annexation just like every other nation that was doing the same. |

paxonel: simple!
Consistency of prophesies written in the bible.
It becomes mysterious when someone predicts a thing and that thing comes to pass. Where did he get the power to explore the future from?
The same person now says when i die he will resurrect me back to life. that is an offer, free offer. On the condition that i believe that's all.
Now, i look at it. Believing does not take anything from me, i have nothing to loose. I'm not in a position to argue that you are lying sir, because I'm not spirit, i don't have supernatural powers.(remember the identity principle: if you do not know the identity of anything you cannot say anything categorically about it)
But seeing that his prophecies were consistent, obviously he has supernatural powers that is capable of fulfilling his promise.
I look at life Life is beautiful and worth living again and again. If mere believing will ensure that i live again after i die according to the supernatural power i have seen in him, then i will be most stupid to continue doubting since i have nothing to loose by believing.
So I believe
What have i done? I have just applied simple wisdom So if a person can predict football scores with accuracy, if he tells you there's a pink unicorn floating between the moon and the earth you would believe he was accurate on a different subject? |

Kobojunkie:
 I believe below is my exact statement. And my question was: LordReed: Nations have the right to perform genocide? Nations have the right to annex land that is being held by other Nations? Your response Kobojunkie: You mean even over the last 2000 years ago, your UN was there to ensure nations didn't carry out genocides or annex land being held by other Nations?  And mine LordReed: So because no one stopped them it was a right? Yours Kobojunkie: By what standard do you judge these things?  Mine LordReed: The standard you are using. Yours Kobojunkie: The standard I live by is God's. So again, by what standard are we to judge these things here.  Mine LordReed: So it was god who gave them the right to commit genocide and annex other people's lands? God extends this to all nations? Seems quite clear to me that you imply that your god gave the Hebrew the right to go perform genocide and land annexation but you have the chance once more to clarify where that right you claim they have came from. |

Kingsnairaland: Let go further
According to the Bible, all people—you, your neighbors, the guy who makes your coffee—came from Adam and Eve (Acts 17:26). The number of humans dwindled to the eight who were spared aboard the giant ship we call Noah’s Ark—when God judged sinful humanity—and then we grew from there (Genesis 6–10).
So, how did we end up with so many different skin shades? It’s probably simpler than you think, but it will require some basic genetics. (Don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple.)
Skin shade is governed by multiple genes and is quite complex, but for the sake of simplicity, assume for a moment that there are only two. Genes come in pairs of pairs. During reproduction, half of the genes passed on to the offspring come from each parent.
For this discussion, let’s assign the letters “A” and “B” to the genes that code for large amounts of melanin—the brown-colored pigment in everyone’s skin. We’ll also use the letters “a” and “b” to designate the genes for small amounts of melanin.
In very dark-skinned people groups, individuals carry AABB genes and only produce dark-skinned offspring. In very light-skinned people groups, individuals carry aabb genes and only produce light-skinned offspring.
If a male and female from each group mate and produce a child, the combination of their AABB and aabb genes would give rise to a child who carries the AaBb genes for melanin and would be “middle brown” in skin shade. Now, if two people carrying the AaBb genes got married and reproduced, their children could have a wide range of skin colors.
If Adam and Eve were both middle brown (AaBb), they would have produced children with a wide range of tones. Suddenly, all of us being one race doesn’t seem so complicated.
Okay, so that explains the different skin tones, but how did different people groups come to be divided as they are now? Again, we can find the answer in the Bible.
In Genesis 11, our ancestors refused to obey God’s command to spread out and fill the earth. Instead, they started building a monument to their insolence—you probably know it as the Tower of Babel.
God judged our ancestor’s disobedience by imposing different languages on them by their family groups. This language confusion forced them to scatter over the earth as God intended.
Eventually they congregated with others who shared a common language, and instantaneous barriers were set up in the gene pool. Not only would people tend not to marry someone they couldn’t understand, but entire groups that spoke the same language would have difficulty relating to and trusting those they did not understand. These people groups then moved away or were forced away from each other into different parts of the world.
The dispersion at Babel broke the large interbreeding group of humanity into smaller groups with less genetic variability. Each group had different mixes of genes for various physical features. All sorts of factors modified the frequency of certain combinations of genes, causing a tendency for specific characteristics to dominate. In other words, kids and grandkids shared the same basic genes their ancestors took with them from Babel.
So, what’s the bottom line? The Bible tells us, and genetics confirms that we’re all descendants of Adam and Eve. No matter the color of our skin, we’re one race . . . but this also means we are all sinners, like our first parents, and all in need of the gospel in Jesus Christ. LoLz. Unless you can produce the genetic composition of Adam and Eve you are not correct in saying genetics confirms we are descendants of Adam and Eve. Fact is genetics has revealed that modern humans descended from a group of humans in Africa not two "white" people from the Middle East. |

Image123: Lol, i don't know everyone personally but they are not the Word of God. The Word of God is the yardstick, so stop looking at men. The irony is that many of them preach what you are asking, and that's why many lose faith in God. Everyone wants to be like their healthy and rich pastors but God doesn't promise everyone health and riches in this life. The point is that persecution is a normal and expected thing for Christians, just like temptations. But we don't pray for it, in fact we pray not to be led into temptation/persecution but delivered from evil. Like temptations, persecution is not necessarily everytime or in same form. Some of these men you think are enjoying as believers have gone through physical persecution at some time and may still go through in future. If it happens, Christians that know won't be grumbling that why did God allow Bishop or Pastor to be persecuted.
Finally, all persecution is not death or imprisonment. It can be mockery, slander, speaking evil against, lying against, gossip, denial of rights etc. A Christian can be delayed or denied promotion or benefits because he/she refuses to "cooperate". Sometimes you don't see or know this. It is 5 years later or 20 years later you see God blessing him and he's looking all clean you'll think that he has never faced challenges. Every human faces challenges and trials of some form. It was you who was making the claim that all living godly in Christ must suffer so what are these people suffering? What are you suffering? |

Two white people have capacity to give birth to different race LoLz. Where are you getting this from? This is junk, definitely not science or even by any reasonable measure of experience. All you have to do is produce 5 examples of native Europeans with no Asian heritage giving birth to Asians to confirm what you are saying. Mind you weather changes people so from scripture we know the earth is around six thousand (6000) years so with time we can have different race due to weather and language changes Glad you said from the bible because this is not the findings of science. Science already found out all species” of dogs are descended from grey wolf. So? You think it was only a single pair of grey wolves? Now .. Noah gave birth to a black son called ham
Ham to a Hebrew word means "burnt", "black" or "hot",
Albinism is a recessive gene, thus the descendants of Noah must have had a skin tone range from “black” to “white-reddish”. You can mix your bible with all the speculation you want but kindly refrain from calling it science. You look disingenuous when you do that. This skin variation may appear more in some descendants and less in others (natural selection).
This is why One of Noah’s sons was called Ham (meaning Hot/black), he was most likely the blackest/darkest of his siblings, bearing the closest or the same skin color of his forefathers (Lamech, Enoch….Adam and Eve).
What you eat over from one generation to the other affect your color the weather affects your color and many other things.
So it easy to see Adam and eve started the whole thing. LoLz! This so blatantly speculation borne from your bible. You have no way of showing that any of this is correct. Meanwhile the science of genetics has more or less mapped the progression of the human genome and it sure as the light of Andromeda does not point to a single pair of humans of "white" colour. |
