A. The universe does not need to be created because it has always existed.
B. The universe created itself.
C. The universe must have a creator because it cannot create itself.

4th option, I don't know.

Depressed101:
i told him to prove himself many times. Years ago when I was small and my family was experiencing alot of problem that affected me badly as a child, I will go to a corner and start crying asking God why he doesn't answer my mother's prayers, then ask him to make me forget my name if he is truly God, I will then concentrate on my name, but surprisingly I will forget my name, before remembering in the next seconds

I always do this all the time, then one day when I did this, I totally forgot my name, for 5mins I was trying to remember my name, crying tears before I asked God to restore my memory, instantly I remembered my name.

Since then I have been on and off with him until July last year when I fully gave my life to him. He has always been there for me

Interesting. So can you ask this your god to tell you my current home address?

abiolamitodun:
To me as a Christian...I'll say conscience... you'd ask why i said so...because to me conscience made you know what's good from bad and once u know what sin is u automatically know what law means and every law Is driven by religion and there's no religion that doesn't have a supreme being....and that is God

LoL! You are wrong on 2 counts already. There are religions that don't have a supreme being and law is not exclusively tied to religion it is mostly tied to culture and tradition.

Lemme first register my laugh, Bwahahahahaha!

They are empty headed but seeing themselves as knowledgeable!

You name was included so I guess you were speaking about yourself. LMFAO!

Let us start again.

Should I be concerned when two consenting adults decide to kill each other?

Should you?

Seems the spambot has it out for you o! LoL

Meanwhile it might be due to the link included in your dp1.

Valar Morghulis. Rest in peace.

Dear LordReed, I have really been taken through the most vile and sinister concentration camp by the spambot. Sadly, it appears there is just no way in which I will be permitted to post my response here. Therefore I am resorting to attaching it as a word document to this post (see link below my signature). Kindly take a look through. Perhaps you can quote it in full here just to make it available on the thread (you may not be banned as I was) or you can quote it in parts as you respond and then we can carry on from there. Whatever you do, please take the time to read it through and lets know your thoughts.

KnownUnknown (as I touch a little on evolution here which we may have cause to discuss arising from our last interaction)

I will respond to you discussion points one by one so allow me to finish them all before you respond. I will also quote the dp I am responding to.

Yes the were

Not only is there no evidence that they were, there is evidence the Israelites are offshoots of Canaanite tribes. Look it up.

Speaklove:
If you had cursed me I would pray for you
But because you thank me I would cry for you


Ho father !
Father!
This one is simple so he is( somehow in a certain way ) dangerous than the scornful .
So I pray
let his weakness manifest and be clear to his heart and conscience that he might embrace your streangth .
Let his wisdom fail him that he may embrace your foolishness .
For the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men ,
and the weakness of God is powerful than the streangth of men .

A god that resides only in your mind can't answer such a prayer. And that is all your god is, a mental construct which is why I said no thanks. If your god was real you'd direct me to him but alas all you can do is offer supplication to your mental magic sky daddy.

Hismasterpiece:
Mr Reed happy new year.

Happy new year bro.

Toktee:
You are a fool...... Can you quote where he said "God say"?

And you're a dunce since you can't comprehend "no god told me so and so.", a simple enough phrase primary 1 pupil will understand it.

Speaklove:
It is not a religion but a gift .
It is not my gift ,but God's gift .
He is not my God alone but also your God .
So if he is your God (wether you agree or not )
Then the gift should also be extended to you .
So that saying gave birth to this saying
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only son (first heavenly gift ) that whosoever believe in him should not perish (be in ignorance ,and eternal damnation ) but have everlasting life (through the knowledge of Christ )

So my dear friend receive Jesus today !

No, thanks.

The isrealites built the pyramid as slaves, those numbers are wrong. Thats just people guessing the year like the did the big bang say it happened 1 million ani billion years ago

Babash. The Israelites were not in Egypt in any significant numbers, talk more of building anything.

chatinent:
And about life? How did it come?

Ah! The ever present go to question from believers. I don't know how life came about.

chatinent:
Your belief. Yours.

Not a question of belief but of facts. Jericho existed but there is no sign its walls were destroyed in the manner the Bible says. Your magic sky daddy is merely your mental construct and cannot do anything you don't ascribe to it.

chatinent:
It isn't actually.

Since we cannot say life came on its own. Contemporary archaeologists agree that current discoveries tally with bible writings.

That London exists is not proof Harry Potter is a real person or that JK Rowling was documenting real history. That Jericho existed doesn't mean your magic sky daddy destroyed its walls.

I wonder if Jesus is travelling at snail pace or his horse keeps needing to rest on his journey. LMFAO!

Bishop David Oyedepo Makes Prophetic Declaration For New Year 2022

https://www.thechristianfeeds.com/2022/01/bishop-david-oyedepos-prophetic.html

LoL so basically anything good you wish for yourself, no god told me so and so. That's good, I wish everybody all the good things of life.

hupernikao:
..

So much more ahead of you this year Bro.

I am trusting for you, a pondering thought, like that of a sight of the morning clouds, a new desire to research and reexamine that which you have worked through in decades of knowledge and years gone-by. Howbeit, in a new ray of light, flooding your heart to find that which you truly seek with a honest heart.

Likewise, that with God, your hands are fortified to strengthen that which you do in the natural. And keep you and yours from harms way year long.

Have a great year ahead.

Thanks. I wish you loads of blessings all year round.

I have mixed feelings about prayer. I actually like the part about expressing those things you sincerely wish would happen but then thinking there is a magic sky daddy listening and granting wishes just makes me feel like I am loosing brain cells, it feels so stupid.

budaatum:
Amu, what please does buda peddle?

Jesus and Buddha tokes. LMAO!

Happy New Year dear buda.

Theonlysonofher:
While others are celebrating the new year today I am here sobbing because my marriage is at the verge of breaking.

I loved my wife with all my heart but I don't think I will ever forgive her for what she has done to my mother.

I am the only child of my mother. I have three sisters on my father's side.
I am married with two beautiful daughters. my mother suffered from diabetes, bp and high cholesterol. She is on a special diets strictly no salt or too much sugar.

She came to stay with me because the person who was taking care of her wasn't doing her job properly so I had to bring her to my house so I will be monitoring her health.

I have a house help who prepares all her meals with less salt and she also makes sure she takes her medicines on time without fail.
Everything was fine, my mother is not a troublesome person, she gets on well with my wife and most of the time she is in her room resting.

On the 20th of December my house help had traveled to the village to see her people and she will be back in January 4th so my wife and I have to take care of my mother making sure that her foods is less salty and medicines on time.

Since I am always working so my wife had to take most of the responsibility. It is only for a week and fews days until the house help is back.

She had agreed to take care of my mother during this periods of time and I thought everything was fine but I noticed my mother become distant and tired unlike her and I had no idea that she was actually dying and I have never suspected that my wife was maltreating her.

So Thursday being 30th December I was at work when my wife called and asked me to join her at the hospital because mama had a seizure.

I rushed to the hospital and my mother was in a coma state and I asked her what happened to mama, she said mama woke up that morning complaining about shortage of breath and she told her to go back to bed and rest hoping she will be fine by the time she will wake up.
Only for mama to fall off the ground and started shaking with foam coming out of her mouth.

I was in panicked I couldn't stop praying for my mother to get better and I didn't leave the hospital, my wife went home to take care of the children because she has left them with the neighbour and I had spend all night prayer vigil at my mother's bedside and glory be to God my mother woke up yesterday being 31st but the doctor report was not a good news for me.

Actually my mother was poisoned with salt and guess who did it? My beloved wife couldn't bothered to cook a different meal for my mother, she used to feed her the same meal we ate knowing full well that mama cannot eat the same foods as us because we are salt lovers, especially my wife, she love eating too much salt which I have warned her over and over again because it is also not good for her health.

I confronted her, she said she only fed mama the same meals we ate twice only but according to the doctor it was more than two times.

I am hurt that my wife doesnt love my mother or treat her like her own mother because if she truly loved her like her own mother she would have put her diet on consideration and not allow her to eat the same meal as us. I love her mother and u treat her like my own mother.

It pains me a lot when I remember five years ago when her mother was in coma state and she was staying with her at the hospital, she is her only daughter amongst three boys.

I used to visit them everyday after work, I will bring foods and I have even washed her mother clothes with my own hands, I have done with love because she is my mother. I called my mother in law this morning and I have informed her about what her daughter has done to my mother and she couldn't stop apologising and she is very disappointed with my wife.

But see how she has repaid me by hurting my own mother.

She has apologised to me and to my mother, I have forgave her but I don't think I can stay with her again because one day if I become sick or bedridden she might treat me the same way.

Honestly speaking I am not even at home with her and the kids, I am at my cousin brother's house since yesterday I left the hospital and my mother is still in the hospital because she needs more treatment and hopefully she will recover by next week.

I don't feel like going home today and I don't know when I'll go home but I will always be there for my girls because they are the best thing that ever happened to me.

What other advice would you give me on this situation? What are your thoughts? Thank you for reading all I love this community.

Don't be overdramatic if your wife is truly remorseful, there would be no reason to break up your marriage if she is.

Is it that people don't know the meaning of brand new? How is this obviously tokunbo car brand new? Na wa sef.

HardMirror:
Joseph was one dense dude

Don't be so sure. He could have been the one that planned the whole thing. You know how the Bible tells them to kill people who are caught having sex, he might have wanted to save himself and the girl. Another reason why they travelled, to lessen the stigma.

HardMirror:
When I was young I wanted to be a doctor, but I discovered typing amen on Facebook can cure all diseases.


Is this a joke?

No, it is not a joke. I believe this along with 2 billion other people, we cannot all be wrong. You dont believe me, visit pastor adeboye's face book page or pastor oyakilome's Facebook page.

Why spend millions of naira when just typing amen can cure your cancer, kidney failure, stroke, diabetes.

What is wrong with people why are you people patronizing hospitals and wasting your money when healing is fee of charge, painless, and immediate. What is wrong with you people going to hospitals? Why are u going through all this stress?

It's so obvious people want magic that they can control to be real. No wonder some Christians hated Harry Potter, that was a fantasy so much more realistic than their own, they feared people would believe in the Harry Potter fantasy more than their own bible fantasies.

HardMirror:

LMFAO! I never even considered that. Make any girl try that these days and we'll all be asking her which of the 3 is the real father. Bwahahahahaha!

Valar Morghulis. Rest in peace.

InSenze1:
Arsing from your position, I mentioned two implications which you have denied: I said that to sustain your position, you necessarily imbue cells and neurons with intentionality and secondly, I said that you thereby strip personal responsibility for anything from anyone and everyone. You wondered how I arrived at these conclusions and I tried to explain, but it doesn't seem that my explanations have come across. Here, I attempt again with greater attention to detail: but I shall start in reverse order with the second implication - namely the question of personal responsibility.

While we wait for your response, take this into consideration. The mind is the aspect of the human imbued with Intentionality not the cells. You cannot will your cells to do anything, you can only will your body which is another evidence that mind and body are inextricable and function as a unit not as 2 disparate parts joined together.

InSenze1:
What you have presented to me as your position essentially is that the intangibles (or immaterial aspects) of man's being, arise entirely from the material aspects: in effect that mind arises from matter, from its combinations and interactions: that the chemical combinations and interactions may produce minds, concepts and ideas. My position is simple: that mind cannot arise from matter, and that matter is but a tool for the activity of mind in the physical.

So then your conjecture arises not because of my position but because of yours. You think mind cannot arise from matter and that to think so would lead to the aforementioned conjecture. However my position is borne out by the facts, so far only physical living brains have been able to be demonstrated as having minds. Undeveloped brains (eg. human foetus, animals with rudimentary nervous systems) do not exhibit mind. If mind was not an emergent property of physical living bodies then we would see the opposite, all manner of bodies and non living things would demonstrate mind but we do not. Mind is an emergent property of living brains and bodies, it is a whole that is greater than the sum of its part, just like the wetness of water is more than just a property of the individual molecules of water. Mind arises because many physical living systems combine and their interaction conglomerates in ways that beat our intuition. We can see it as a child develops, we can see it in a person with brain damage, we see it in people with mental illness. The evidence is firm, mind arises from material. I invite you to present evidence that mind arises independently of the material or demonstrate that it is not inextricably tied to the body that gives rise to it.
