Of course people can be good(depending on what it is and by what standard or yardstick you decide to measure it) without the concept of hell or even an idea that God exists

Exactly, which is why I challenged your statements that:

advanceDNA:
What’s your point...??
No punishment after death??
Do as you like??

If you agree someone a person can be good without believing in hell then why make such a statement?

Lee99:
Hey Nlanders, I'll be as brief as possible. So I met my current gf mid October 2021, she's sweet and loving though very stubborn and has an I don't care attitude. I'm trying to change her and she's a work in progress.

But lately, all she talks about is having a baby, she wants to be pregnant so bad, and I'm not ready for fatherhood or the challenges with it. I like her a lot but mehn I don't understand her again, she's hellbent on this pregnancy stuff.

According to her, anything that makes her take in she's gonna keep the baby whether I like it or not, when she saw her period last time it was a huge sigh of relief from my part, now I've nutted more times in her than I care to count and I hope they were blanks because I honestly don't want to deal with it, tho if it happens that way I'll have to man up and take charge of things, I only hope she gets her period soon then I can start using protection whenever we have sex, whether she likes it or not.

Bashing is allowed but try to make small sense please.

You don't want a baby but you are busy nutting inside her, are you a special type of clown?

advanceDNA:
Not at all...
there’s always a counter attack available in a dialogue ...

U usually dialogue the creator matter from the angle insulting and making jest of biblical accounts...that’s just a desperate attempt to disrespect someone’s faith..and that’s why I said there’s no point dialoguing with you...

I didn't mention creator in this dialogue. The question was can you be good without believing in hell. Many people believe in your god but not hell so are you of the opinion that such people cannot be good?

advanceDNA:
U know why..

Because you know I will make points you can't get around?

OLAADEGBU:
For The Rest Of The Story

LoL. How does this look like the beast in Revelation? The beast in Revelation had seven heads for crying out loud. LMAO. Soon you'll see lizard and say its the beast.

advanceDNA:
Dialogue with you heads no where..there’s no point starting it jare...

I wonder why. LoL

Jokerman:
Lake of fire exist.

The torment there is what is described as "Hell"

Based on what evidence?

advanceDNA:
What’s your point...??
No punishment after death??
Do as you like??

So you think the only reason to behave well is because of belief in hell?

ahnie:
Cassava flakes(garri)

LMAO!

SpiritLifeNG:
is that a movie title?


I dont watch movies tho.. Just out of curiosity or accidentally..

Yes it is. Either you forgot you watched it or saw images or clips of it. Your dream describes scenes from the movie.

Dictionary does not dictate meanings. It merely transports it.

Ehen? The meaning is there if you don't know the meaning.

Dtruthspeaker:
Satan's son, worshipper does not mean anything.

Look in the dictionary for the meaning.

Come and see how your god is indifferent to his worshippers.

Exactly what a physical man who doesn't give events happening around him a second thought always say.
A book written thousands of years ago by ancient people foretold a time when people will form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers globally despite differences in race, skin colour, occupation, class, language and geographical locations. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3
The book says they will all have the same line of thought {John 17:20-23} when all others around them are at war killing one another! Revelations 6:3-4
Come on my friend, real intellectuals will look closely at that, they won't just dismiss such an event as a coincidence! Luke 21:31

Fringe cults are not a new phenomenon.

Dtruthspeaker:
Surely, you live in an anthill to not know!

You must live in your dreams to think so.

MaxInDHouse:
Their messages aren't for people who dwells only on the physical! 1Corinthians 2:14-15 compare to Hebrews 11:1; 2Thessalonians 3:2

SMH. Na wa for self deception.

Dtruthspeaker:
I do not need to wish, it is proven already, even before I said it!

In your dreams right? LoL

MaxInDHouse:
Before Peter was a man just like you and i, to us a day is just 24 hours, that's why himself and his fellow disciples were asking Jesus if what himself and John the baptist said is near will take effect immediately after Jesus' resurrection! Act 1:6
But in the spirit realms where their life has no time limit they see 1,000 years like just a day.
So when John the baptist, Jesus and Peter (after his being baptized of the holy spirit) talks about God's Kingdom is near to physical men like you and i we expect what was said to be near at most within a lifetime. 2Peter 3:8

So were they lying or they thought people don't know the difference between near and far?

Hismasterpiece:
I wonder what it would take for you to give your life to Christ.

Satisfactory evidence that this Jesus exists and that he wants my life ( whatever that means).

Dtruthspeaker:
Every year is always going to be a bad and dark year for those who do not Truly Love God!

Keep wishing.

Welcome to the year 2022
A year of separation and preservation of the saint, a year of multiply harvest of souls, a year of war, threat and fight among big nations. The year 2022 is a year of announcement for everyone who have patiently waited on the Lord. This year for Nigeria,bandit will intensify in the north most especially border towns where immorality and all kind of demonic acts are carried out,all in the name of making money. God's judgement will shake such territories and many will be compelled into the kingdom. Its a year of God's blessing for the faithful in such environment as there shall be transfer of wealth. Fear not, for those in Christ shall be preserved. The political scene of Nigeria will play on a normal scene then suddenly, there will be a shaken. Confusion will emerge as what people thought would be will suddenly become not. Those who claim they know it all and are king makers will be surprise how suddenly God will arise and make his will established.
Iniquity will increase, for its mystery is already at work. A lot of deception will spread especially from those who claim God has called them. Many will believe in lies than the truth. God is jealous for his people as far as they raise their voices, he will hear and intervene.
Even in the darkness of the year, those who stand with me, will shine like the brightness of the firmament. Let everyone that understand kingdom watch and pray. Faith is your key in the midst of all situation.

How much protection did your god give the churches and Christians who were attacked last year or the years before? LoL. Did your god establish a separate market for only you Christians or you have your own separate currency? What an absolute farce.

LoL! The same way it was near when the books of Peter were written. Na wa for near.

Smoked meat, fish or bacon is heavenly.

Aidejay:
Is it possible for someone to believe in God but not believe in religion?

It has become obvious to me, that many Nigerians equate religion/religiosity/religiousness with
belief in God/allah.

So therefore, saying that you do not believe in religion to them it means that you do not believe in God.

So, I ask is it possible to believe in religion and not believe in god or to believe in god and not believe in religion.

There are an estimated 10,000 distinct religions worldwide. About 84% of the world’s population is affiliated with Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or some of folk religion. The religiously
unaffiliated demographic includes those who do not identify with any particular religion. While the religiously unaffiliated have grown globally, many of the religiously unaffiliated still have various religious beliefs - Wikipedia.

To me not believing in religion simply means you do not adhere to the ideology that one religion supersedes the others be it Islam, Christianity, Hinduism. It means you do not act based on religious sentiments, bias or obligation. I also believe it means seeing god as then same or one, like when they say there is 1 god but many religions. Not believing in religion doesn’t mean you don’t celebrate religious traditions such as Circumcision, celebrating Christmas, Marriage, Funerals, Salah, wearing hijabs or other coverings, eating certain animals, attending mass or prayers. Not believing in religion doesn’t mean you do not read the bible or Quran or torah and other religious texts, it also doesn’t mean you do not pray or fast.

I believe with the use of religion to perpetrate so many atrocities in the world today it is quite understandable if some one decides to follow god and not religion but that would mean that there is a distinction between god and religion. Is there?

This sounds more like a selective adherence to religious practice, it is something many religious people already do with varying degrees of immersion into their source religion.

CondemnBattery:
So I saw a thread earlier, and decided to educate husbands in the house how to play the home politics, just as adviced by my pastor's wife.

My pastor's wife thought me a valuable lesson. She legitly told us to be smart as husbands, when the kids did something wrong in your absence and your wife did not discipline the child, but waits for you to come back and discipline them, don't. Make sure she disciplines them herself, otherwise your kids will think you are the wicked one and the evil one.

Don't always give your wife all the money to buy things for the kids, take the children out to the market, buy them clothes, take them to the grocery store, buy the provision in their present. Let them know you are the one buying them. If you buy them shoes or anything, make sure they are aware that you are the one buying them. If you do all these, the kids will love you more. This is 2022, don't allow your wife rob you of your years of labor when it's time to reap.

You can add your own way of playing the family politics.

Please if this is front page worthy, kindly move to fp, so men can learn 1 or 2 this new year.

May our wives not take all our glory all in the name of I'm too busy in Jesus name. Amen

How about you discipline the child jointly instead of leaving it to one person? When a child does something wrong it behoves the parent to provide guidance and correction with or without the other parent but it is better when both parents do it because it reinforces the lesson. If you let only one parent do it the child will begin to assume that the other parent has opposing view but is keeping silent and so the child will seek ways to take advantage of that. You'll notice when you tell your child no in the absence of your spouse they'll go and speak to the other parent to try to get that failed request. It is the same with discipline, you'll start hearing stuff like mummy let's me do it, daddy let's me go there. These kinds of situations should be avoided or else you will breed an unstable child.

It starts happening

In this case you are wrong, nothing of the sort you think would happen, will.

It isn't a prophecy... i'm just being hopeful

Like I say, it is good to hope.

DeepSight:
Thank you LordReed for your responses thus far. I always appreciate it when a co-discussant takes time to go through a thought development process with a fine comb. Especially as I had feared that in this case the spambot may have dissuaded you. As per your earlier request I will await all your responses.

Bless.

Thank you for your patience. I wanted to make sure I could post without getting shut down by the spambot. I am happy to respond to these questions as it gives me the chance to rollout and articulate my thoughts a little more firmly.

Please feel free to respond now, if you wish I will wait till you finish.

@DeepSight response to Implication: Intentionality imbued on Cells, Neurons.

Once again no intentionality is imbued to the cells and neurons or other chemicals because they are part of a whole. They aren't doing anything by themselves, instead whatever functions they perform gives rise to the ability of the individual to express intentionality. If we excise any part of the individual, it looses its place in the being expressing intentionality and by itself cannot perform any intentional action. Eg if a person's hand is cut off from their body it will not be able to do anything by itself.

Once again the evidence is abundant that all these things are natural processes and we are yet to see any evidence that it isn't.
