Image123: Lol, interesting. We never discussed the importance of Easter or Diwali in the conversation, did we? You clearly lost the plot. You are on the tantrum evidently.
LoLz. Who came to meet me on this thread? Who is the one following me up and down on NL to tell me of their favorite Jewish myths? The person stalking me is accusing me of tantrums. LMAO! Ain't that some funny shite. You are on an unending tantrum spree that's why you have made it your life's mission to chase me on NL. Bwahahahaha!
Lost which plot? You that refused to mention anything about the so called Jesus tomb after I pointed out to you that there are 5 proposed sites. Your imaginary god can't help you people with your guesswork? LMFAO!
Lemme remind you what you said: "Celebration is not the hallmark of proving that an entity is alive, there are thousands of celebration. Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ." If you don't think that means you think Easter trumps Diwali then you need to go back to secondary school. LoLz.
Hismasterpiece: I'm not going to say that their experiences are wrong. After all witches and witch doctors and occultists have experiences that validate their beliefs.
Then how do we know who has the truth and please don't say experience again.
Image123: Oh you want to hear reality, it stares you in the face daily. You can only see and MAGNIFY what God did not do(imagine the irony of seeing the undone ), but the same you will run east, west, north and south in a vain attempt to prove that God did not do something whenever God is said to have done it. Is the problem of sin and death a myth to you? Is the problem of humanity a myth to you? Is the problem of money a myth to you? Do you think you are happier than the poor and the sick? Have you at last found the reason/essence of life? The joke and the real myth here seems to be you and your beliefs.
I come down to your bronze age Hebrew mythology level to show you just how deficient your thinking is and you actually think I believe your crap? LoLz. Jokes on you buddy. I am not chained to your bronze age Hebrew myths which is why I can tell you your Easter celebration is every much as evidentiary as Diwali but such will cause you to pull a tantrum and stamp your feet and tell me how much more important your Easter is than Diwali. Bwahahahahaha!
KnownUnknown: Rise up this morning. Smiled with the rising sun. One little bird sits by my doorstep Singing sweet songs of melody pure and true Saying, this is my message to you ooh ooh.
He said, my name is Moses the raven I am here to tell you about Sugar Candy Mountain Accept my bread of life Say goodbye to misery and strife No hell. Just Sugar Candy Mountain. Where all the animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
I said, sounds the same as that Hebrew crew God loves everyone but chose the Jew
DatoDatuk: Ever heard the voice of God? Take a listen as this pastor prays on his "mountain" asking God to hand him the "keys of David" (which magically appeared to him tho, after god spoke lol), so that he can give his members to get more money, travel abroad and many more goodies.
Hismasterpiece: God did create hell. But He has made it clear that He doesn't want any descendant of Adam to end up there. So, no God is not at fault.
Where did I mention anything about fault? Hell is entirely your god's idea according to your mythology. If your god didn't create it nobody would be going there.
budaatum: Gods are human constructs (entities, ideas) that people use to explain existence to themselves and others.
I make no distinction between small letter 'g' god and capital letter 'g' god, except that some, if not most people elevate their god above everyone else's god and like to refer to it as a capital letter 'g' god.
That time when budaatum was an atheist and LordReed was a Christian. Now my dear buda loves Jesus while I'm an atheist. How the tables do turn my dear buda. LoLz.
membranus: I have suddenly come to realise that before the advent of the Europeans to Africa, we Black Africans have no religion per se. Though we have native gods aplenty, but in truth we have not among us, within our individual communities, any widely accepted religion.
If we have, where are the architectural remains of the temples or place of gathering we erected for their worship? There were none. Go through the whole of Black Africa, where are the types of such temples or altars like those which the Europeans erected for their idols or gods like Diana, Hercules, Thor or Saturn? Or such as erected across the whole of Asia for Buddha, or in Egypt for Ra, or by the Mexicans for their Incan gods? You will find none, except for some miserable stones in several groves upon which measly offals, blood, oil, meals and drinks are poured to appease their demonic ancestors, which they turn to their gods. There were no temples or monuments built for general gathering to worship a particular god, but various households built shrines to serve their own choice of deity inside their compounds.
So even in monuments to ancestral deities, Black Africa was also backward. Therefore it was when the Europeans brought the true religion of Christianity, and when the Arabs brought Islam that Churches and Mosques were began to be built to worship God.
And the conclusion is what? European or Asian gods are more powerful than African gods?
Image123: Can you imagine the misery of hell? If you knew, you would wish for the misery you talk of compared to hell fire. Sickness is inevitable on earth, it doesn't negate any Truth.
Again when you can bring me evidence of this hell we can talk, till then it remains a figment of your imagination. Reality is more important to me than Jewish mythologies.
Femzaremz: What kind of a submission is this?? I didn't expect you to make much sense and you didn't disappoint! An all powerful God who can help those orphans in a better way (maybe like sending a rich man who can provide for those children without even feeling it) has to make a woman suffer through out her life so she would be able to beg with orphans! I'm sure that woman telling the dumb story will not be pleased if she were in the shoes of that poor girl! All that suffering and trauma just to be allowed a chance to beg with orphans!you guys in defense of your God just string together pieces of illogical nonsenses and expect people to just go along with it! Okay please tell me the reason the mindless killings of people by the Boko Haram bandits still exists despite the many prayers by christians to end it! Maybe your God wants his children gruesomely killed so they can come bow down and sing praises to him forever!
I have empathy for their lack of critical thinking but some of their attempts at reconciling their beliefs with reality are down right infuriating. Especially like this one that aids in sustaining suffering.
That's all I know and I don't have all the answers. You may need to go directly to God and ask Him.
Of course that's all you know, your god never knows more than you do. That's why when you don't get your so called answered prayers but you encounter good fortune down the line you reason that your god must have wanted it that way. BTW my example is RL, it happened to a schoolmate of mine. Back in school I was a Christian, he and I were officials in our school fellowship, in fact he was the head of the arm of bible studies for new converts. He even became a doctor yet when his child was dying your god was silent. Can you imagine the anguish this brother went through? Can you imagine the misery of a 5 year old dying in pain from blood cancer? Your god is a figment of your imagination you keep alive to soothe the hardships around you. I don't begrudge you your comfort but for Andromeda's sake acknowledge reality.
I am not understanding why this is an issue. Jesus himself purportedly said take this bread it is my body and Christians everywhere take bread as a symbol of Jesus Christ so why is this imagery controversial?
Among all the creatures of YHVH Almighty, the one and only true God, the Creator of the heavens, the earth, the seas and everything in them, my Father in heaven, human beings are his masterpiece. Now, among the human beings, I, Elated177, am his masterpiece.
I am evidence of existence of YHVH Almighty, the one and only true God and the Creator of the universe. A better evidence of his existence than me, elated177, does not exist any place, anywhere. As long as humans are concerned, a better evidence has never been made. I don't think our ancestors were favoured to have someone like me in their own time. Una go vex tire.
So, Reed, no matter how long and hard you and the witches, whose agent you are, wail, rant and ramble and insult yourselves, thinking you are insulting me, Elated177, a highly honoured and esteemed saint, servant and messenger of YHVH Almighty, of Yahushua the Messiah, you are not going to change it. The more you try to pull me down, the higher my Father in heaven, YHVH Almighty, raises me and the more wisdom and honour pours on me, elated177.
Una hate me tire. Una go call names tire. Una go wail tire. All to no avail.
El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu YAH!
Time to ignore this fool, talking with him is making his head swell. LoLz.
LoLz. We just are circling on what you are refusing to acknowledge which is people of other religions have experiences that validate their beliefs. If experience is the way to know truth then every religious person with an experience has the truth.
It's not always difficult to explain something to you.
There are some prayers that would be detrimental to us if God answers them. He only has our best in heart.
Miriam prayed that Pharaoh's daughter won't see the baby Moses in his basket. God ignored her prayer, Pharaoh's daughter saw the basket, took the baby and saved his life.
LoLz. So how do you know what will be detrimental or not? After the god has not answered it right?
Answer this: parents see their 5 year old daughter dying of blood cancer and pray to the god but the daughter dies, what was detrimental in the 5 year old getting healed?
Image123: Diwali is the five-day Festival of Lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world. Diwali, which for some also coincides with harvest and new year celebrations, is a festival of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. It has nothing to do with Krishna's resurrection.
I didn't say it did. It is a celebration of the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura and freed the people of his kingdom. After he slayed the demon, Lord Krishna declared it a day of festivities. If celebration is the hallmark of proving that an entity is alive then Diwali proves Krishna is alive.
You seem to be contradicting yourself here, because in the other thread you said the god doesn’t answer prayer. Now you want me to pray to the god who doesn't answer prayer, why?
Image123: Because you just started a brand new rigmarole. Did i say that you said Diwali was the same as Easter?
You implied it by saying "Diwali is not a celebration of Krishna's resurrection". The reference to Diwali was about your assertion about millions of people celebrating a god. If that is the criteria for showing that a god exists then Krishna exists.
