This is a no no! Please never go investigating ghosts with cameras or modern gadgets, they don't like to be caught on tape.
This is why Muslims don't keep dog inside their homes. Dogs, especially black ones, keep angels away!

Back to the matter at hand.
Aba is predominantly christian town. If a house is so haunted by ghost that christians are afraid to buy and inhabit, I think it's fair to ask, what happened to the powerful name and blood of Jesus?

Maybe the Christians don't want to waste it on ghosts, they keep saying how precious it is. LMAO!

LMAO! That means we should bring a black dog along so that the ghosts are not scared away by angels. Bwahahahahaha!

[color=#770077][/color] The word of God is always and will always be true with or without any discoveries

So basically there is no way you can show that the Bible is wrong?

OtemAtum:
Good. First of all, jmoore's picture and phone number should be known to you and some others. Police should be involved too as well as journalists.

Solid suggestions, will put it as part of the arrangements.

OtemAtum:
Go with one or two people and cameras. That's all that's needed to demystify their mysteries. Also, be very careful because of ritualists. They know how to create stories that will lure people into their traps.

Of course, that is why I need to know what kind of security arrangement jmoore is willing to make.

Buliwyf:
Don't mind them. I am not even an atheist but I can bet my balls it's an urban legend. If you even agree to their challenge they will find a way to change the rules and put it in a remote location that you can't easily assess. You never see ghosts and JuJu in the city. It's always in one remote location where your security is not guaranteed.

LoLz. Depending on how things are setup to test this story I am interested. Let's see if we can come to an arrangement.

Dtruthspeaker:
hehehe when I remember ghosts and "atheists" I remember that haunted house in ABA and I would like to take them there.

You would like to so what is stopping you?

The fear of the unknown.


I once asked a Nigerian that claims to be an atheist to come and investigate a haunted house. He gave the flimsy excuse that he's busy with other things and can't waste his time on imaginary haunted house. All I saw was a 'freethinker' with no actions. You think that ghosts don't exist but you refused to put it to test.

I know, he's scared of ghosts but can't admit it.

There are many haunted houses all over the world. I know one in Nigeria, Aba to be precise. Anyone who has spent 3 decades in Aba and knows Ukwu mango very well should be familiar with a 3 story building opposite that junction. The house has been put up for sale and no one has bought it.

This is a perfect house to know that ghosts exist. No need for grammar to debunk ghosts. Come and stay in the house for just one month, you will live to tell the story and your fellow atheists will think you have finally gone mad.

Why does it have to be 1 month? So the ghosts won't show up in a single night?

BTW with the security situation in Abia being what it is how can you ensure the safety of anybody who takes your challenge?

Well look at it this way. The concept of God as described in scriptures. God is described as a king for instance. Now a king is.... you don't need me to start to define what a king is for you do i? You're more intelligent than that.

Anyways, for someone to be called a king he has to have a kingdom and make decisions about said kingdom (have you watched game of thrones or anyother movie or series with a monarchy?)

You can't be a king and be amoral. That's the point i'm trying to make.

God is also described as a father, husband, friend, protector, etc.. You can't be all those things and be amoral.

You can be anything and be amoral. Your title or position doesn't preclude you from being amoral, it's your actions that suggest if you are amoral. If a god exists it certainly doesn't care very much about human welfare for instance, if it did it would not standby and watch all the atrocities that have been going on throughout human history without doing anything. That is how an amoral being would behave. You would define yourself as a moral being, would you watch any of your loved ones get beaten, raped and killed before your very eyes when you have the power to stop their assailant? You won't standby and do nothing or am I wrong about you?

Hismasterpiece:
On what basis do you determine what is true and what is false?

Depending on the claim, the type of evidence available.

How do you determine what is true or false?

Hismasterpiece:
Can you give me another instance where you knew for certain that it had to be God?

Do you mean if i was certain then because I don't think any god answered my prayers now.

Hismasterpiece:
can you give me some examples of those answers to prayers you received please?

Years ago I was stranded at a car park and didn't have enough money to get to my next destination. I prayed to the god and approached a girl who I had travelled with to beg her to help me and she obliged. Back then I attributed it to answered prayer, now on the other hand I would see it as the kindness of a stranger taking pity on me not a god answering my prayer.

Hismasterpiece:
i'm just trying to say that we all got our knowledge from either what we experienced, were told, or what we read that's all... there's no other way to get knowledge

Yes but we must have a way of sifting through what is true and what is false or else we accept every story that comes our way.

Hismasterpiece:
Are you amoral? If you aren't amoral then how can you expect the person that created you like Him to be otherwise?

Why does the nture of who created what matter? Are humans made of metal how come the cars they make are metal? The nature of the maker has no bearing on what the created thing will be. Besides I don't believe a god created anything especially not me therefore whether or not I am amoral doesn't play into it.

What of all the others that didn't run mad? The ones that were right in the counting rooms pilfering dollars and other foreign currency? Na today.

I really don’t know what to do at this moment , as I am scared of going to the hospital

Which one were you given?

This is a Greek Interlinear Bible, not exactly what i referred to. i referred to the early manuscripts in which the Bible was written. The language and Bible scholars that copied them, studied them and divided them saw the two verses on two different paragraphs, which indicates a separate line of thought. It's just an indication anyway, just like any chapter division.
The crown and real point is the understanding of the audience, both primary, secondary and tertiary audience to which the gospel is addressed. Like i showed, Peter and the other apostles were not confused or thinking Jesus must come again in their lifetime.

I think I grasp your point.

I would be very glad. It means religious indoctrination has not damaged them too much that they can't drop it and that going forward they can live their lives without any of the baggage.

Let me just start somewhere
Growing up as an introvert was difficult cos I guess my mum didn't understand my quite personality, she talks about how I am not 'sharp' how I am not fashionable and whatever else she cannot really relate to. I am in my mid 20s now and she still insults me when she is in the mood.
It's funny how I am the only child she insults so much, I am her first born. I left my former work place due to Corona last year and I've been home since. I have trained as a tailor tho I don't have a shop or customer base yet.

She insulted me tonight again for cooking dinner late, she said why should I finish cooking dinner by past 7? Called me names and all that. Its been over a year that she went to the market last because I now do that, I make breakfast and dinner, I don't keep late night, I barely go out, yet she finds reason to talk me down.

She has started to insult my fiancé now too, she says he is poor and cannot take care of me, what has he achieved for himself? And the reason she isn't much against us is because she doesn't know if he will have money tomorrow. He isn't even jobless, it's just unfortunate that government don't pay their workers on time.

I don't have a single emotional connection with her, I have tried and I have failed. I think it's time to move out of the house and start my tailoring business. I don't have the finance to rent a shop and a house separately, so I want to rent a room and parlor and make it both my living and work space. Is this a good move? I cannot function properly in this house anymore.
How do I build my customer base from working in the house?

Do it. Make that bold step, you will make it. Your mental health is more important than your familial ties.

Find anyone, study Greek lol, then see the simple thing i have stated. The two verses are not connected but different paragraphs.

I checked it out here: https://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/Greek_Index.htm and it doesn't seem to give the idea you say it does. Ver 28 starts with amen or verily, that is used for emphasis. How could he be emphasising something different?

peggywebbs:
Stop deceiving yourself... there is nothing like an atheist. Humans naturally have a believe system, so far you can logically believe something to be right or wrong, good art and bad art, then there is obviously something you hold a strong faith to, it could be science, art, spirituality, seeing yourself as a god or whatever it is.

The point is you certainly have one religion but are in denial of it. You guys come in different ways with twisted threads but it ends up being the same thing. Nobody hates atheists, atheists simply hate themselves.

As Fela talk: animal can't dash me human rights.

Image123:
Lol, which one do you have access to? BTW, i said ALSO in the division to chapters and verses(manuscripts are not divided into chapters and verses). It's a separate paragraph/line in the manuscripts.

If you mention one I can find it so which one?

it is I * evil laughter intensifies *

Mwahahahahaha!

Firstly, I did not lay any bible quote.

Secondly, statements obtained from any source still has to be coherent and relevant to the issue on ground.

Read what I wrote again.

Those would be ignorant people. You have seen a bit of David Jnr, in your estimation, is he undeserving or unqualified to take over from his father? One may not easily say same for other children or even children of other popular pastors. People will always say, but it's possible and even seen in the Bible in some cases. Jesus's brothers also had a good part in the early church. Same with David's sons, Abraham's sons. But not compulsorily so, like we see in Elijah Elisha, Moses Joshua and co. In contemporary times, we also saw the likes of TL Osborn, Reinhardt Bonke, Kenneth Hagin, former GO of RCCG, hand over the baton/mantle to non-family. So either ways can happen.

I have not heard him preach so I can't say, what I've heard though is that he is competent. Maybe he'll be a good successor, we'll see when that happens.
