YHVH Almighty has made the evidence of his existence known. From the plants, to the animals, to the human beings, etc, the proofs abound. For the umpteenth time, if you cannot grasp such, then I can't help you.

With this definition, where is the prejudice in condemnation of homosexuality? Scriptural facts abound. Nature condemns it. So, my assertion was premised upon careful consideration of the Scriptural and natural facts. Where is the prejudice in that?

The fall of man - Adam's disobedience - opened the door to all sorts of evil and wickedness. How the animals behaved before the fall, I have no idea. It is how they will behave in the new earth and the new heavens which YHVH Almighty will make that I have stated. Have you not been paying attention?

elated177:
I have explained this above. If you can't see YHVH in his Scriptures and in the creatures he has made, then no other evidence will be given you.

Define prejudice? Dictionary definition and not your warped definition.

Is he even paying attention? Are you paying attention at all?

hupernikao:
Was he afraid to air his view as a freethinker? That is your assertion. Was he? or you assumed that?
Stop giving assumption that you cant prove.

I don't think I want to go down this path with you again...you calling my Father in heaven (Daddy in the sky) fairy tale and all. I know how the last time ended. There is nothing on YHVH's earth you say that will change his existence. Do you really want to see him?

Where is the prejudice in condemnation of homosexuality? Anyone who practises homosexuality is a human being, but the act of homosexuality is abnormal.

YHVH Almighty has made man in his image. Whether you accept it or not is totally irrelevant.

I never said that lions used to eat grass. In the new earth and new heavens which YHVH Almighty will make, the lion's will eat grass like zebra. In fact, wolves and lambs will eat together. Snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, YHVH's sacred hill, there will be nothing harmful or evil. Little children will even take care of the lion, tiger, bear, etc.

Continue to look for evidence. None will be given you except what the Scriptures have already stated. Even if you are provided with evidence - that outside the ones which already abound - from now to tomorrow, you will always look for a way to explain it away as something else... classic case of throwing pearls to pigs or giving to dogs what is sacred. Believe, then you will see.

That is your opinion and you are very much entitled to it. However, if anyone who opposes and condemns the abominable act of homosexuality is now called bigot, then I say have at it.

Why didn't you go ahead and mention some of those species. I was really expecting that from you. It is obvious you didn't grasp the gist of the message. Humans were created in YHVH's image and given Dominion over the earth. It is their activities that will destroy or preserve/conserve the environment. Humans tame dogs, horses, etc. How many animals have tamed human beings? Even if you woke up one morning and saw two female dogs or two lions engaging in explicit sexual act, homosexuality will still be an abomination. With the fall of man, a lot of things went wrong. Man's disobedience turned the world upside down. No one in his or her right mind will put his or her hand into a cobra's mouth. It will be foolhardy for anyone to mess with a bear or tiger. That is the condition of the present earth. In the New Earth which the YHVH Almighty will make, those animals will not harm anyone. Even a little child will play with the Cobra and viper

Important Concerns
The initial concern that is associated with calling Mary the "mother of God" is the implication of superiority, and also a special position that she would then possess. Please consider the following problems associated with the exultation of Mary.

1. Mary sits at the right hand of Christ: "...she is the supreme Minister of the distribution of graces. Jesus "sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high" (Hebrews i. b.). Mary sitteth at the right hand of her Son..." (Pope Pius X, 1835-1914, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, 14).

"The Chief Imam of Assakio Central Mosque, Muhammed Iliyasu, who confirmed the incident, told our correspondent that the appearance of the cross within the premises of the mosque was a revelation from God, affirming that “Jesus is also a prophet of God.”

The Chief Imam confirmed it. Why do you doubt it or were you there?

Romangalactic:
I'll try to keep my predicament short. I registered a new account for this purpose but I'm sure many of you will understand that sterility is not something to be announced which is exactly how I got myself in this situation. I am 35 and engaged to a beautiful woman who completes me in every way. As much as it hurts me to say this, I have not been totally honest with her about everything.
Just yesterday while we were home together, she told me that she is pregnant . I asked her how sure she is, she said she had done the pee test and that she knows how she is feeling. The issue here is that I am sterile but I have not told her this before so it is impossible that I am responsible.

Please before anyone tells me I deserve this for not opening up to her, I have been undergoing treatment secretly and they say I will be able to father children when it's done so of course, I am hopeful and have not bothered to inform her about any of this. I can't stand losing her for any reason. My issue right now is that I asked my endocrinologist this morning if it's possible that the treatment is already working and he said we have not gone far enough to see any results yet. This means I am definitely not the father of the child she is carrying.

Only one other person in this world knows about my health challenge and that is my cousin. I told him and he told me to break up with my fiancée, someone I have already done introduction with and families are involved. I told him I cannot and that he must take the secret to the grave, he thinks I am making the biggest mistake of my life.
Well I told him my plan is to accept the pregnancy and continue to make her think I don't know she cheated on me. I am doing this with the hope that after we get married, my treatment will be completed and everything will be back to normal. But at the same time, I still can't shake the feeling that I am about to marry someone who cheated and is passing off another man's child as mine, I feel cheated and it hurts.

Can anyone else please tell me what to do about this situation I have found myself? Please I just need to hear from other people besides my cousin. Another thing, he has never really liked my fiancée so I feel that also may be his motivation.
I need neutral opinions please

elated177:
We meet again. Well, let me suspend the ban I placed on you for now.

Whether you pretend or not is infinitesimal. What you think or not think has no bearing on the existence of the Creator of heaven and earth. It is obvious that anyone who speaks the truth now is deemed a bigot. That is the direction the world is heading. I don't tolerate homosexuality. I don't hate those who practise it. I don't wish them evil.

Homosexuality is vile, unclean, unnatural and abominable. The word 'bigotry' should never be associated with the condemnation of homosexuality.

I know the truth makes you antsy and you cannot bear the sight of it.

Mention some of those species. How many of them pollute the earth through oil spillage, indiscriminate dumping of refuse, sewage and other contaminants?
How many of such species engage in kidnapping, murder, etc. How many of them manufacture weapons of mass destruction? How many of such species read and write? How many of such species can build skyscrapers? How many of them can construct magnificent bridges and automobiles? What kind of morality do such species have? How many of them did the Creator make in his image?

larride:
When i say most of these people arguing here don’t understand what they are arguing about, they think it’s a lie.

There’s nothing that stop you from being a scientist and also believe in God. Your belief is a personal thing and only you can talk about your own personal experience/belief.

Eagleboney:
astronauts and astrologers never believed God exists but they named some constellations after mythical Gods and Creatures ,is that not lame

Eagleboney:
I am not appealing to any authority to support my argument, I just mentioned someone u may be looking up to ,someone who comes to mind when we talk of atheists ,but he believed in. God

pes2019:
If one doesn't believe in God, what belief does such have.
One must believe in sth, I want to know what it is?

MuttleyLaff:
Editing your unintentional error wont rub out or remove your already revealed subconscious mind/feelings.

One man's toxic waste, is another man's potpourri., is the least I can say to this comment.



I need no method to prove anything. I don't want to prove anything, because I am yet to be let down by my conviction(s). I am glad you see me, as I am and I am sure you'll be the first in queue, to say, I have that right to be as I am, just the same way, you have the right, to be who you are or haven't we, LordReed2nd, hmm?

MuttleyLaff:
Metaphors are figurative language, are hyperboles, similes and/or antithesis, used to provide clarity or exaggerated to emphasis and make a point, like in that case how heavy it rained last night. The reality in it, is that the rained and run up "cats and dogs" are the result of them getting drowned due to the Victoria times poor drainage problems



Thank you for your Freudian slip, lol. You're really at heart, kind and generous, lol.

Conviction is the barst minimum required to show how we can be sure what was written was an accurate account of the events that took place in the life of the man we call Jesus, if such a person actually lived and performed all the acts attributed to him. If you have it, you have it. If not, well c'est la vie.

I am glad you take that I am influenced by conviction that all arent myth nestled in myth. Remember I earlier had said something about telling a joke hmm? When cracking a joke, it doesnt necessarily mean, the joke is devoid of some element of truth and reality in it, so it is with all this here we are discussing LordReed2nd.

MuttleyLaff:
It actually at Victorian times, funnily enough appeared, as if it really did rain cats and dogs, lol. Anyways, its the penultimate truth and it is true that it rained cats and dogs when understood metaphorically.

I am glad to be of service to make you laugh milord, besides, its in the moniker ID, it comes with MuttleyLaff.

I wasnt making any point for you, rather I was making my own point that 4 decades after, which in fact is a generation, isnt really late in penning things down 2000 years ago.

I've taken on board your skepticism, so one word, just one to give you the answer. Conviction

"¹Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us.
²They used the eyewitness reports circulating among us from the early disciples.
³Having carefully investigated everything from the beginning,
I also have decided to write an accurate account for you, most honorable Theophilus,
⁴so you can be certain of the truth of everything you were taught."
- Luke 1:1-4

Dr Luke who is been quoted in Luke 1:1-4 above, would have informed if he was telling tales metaphorically. Flavius Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, in the book Antiquities of the Jews, made at least two references to Jesus of Nazareth

LordReed2nd, our Lord and Savior of the world, Jesus Christ regularly used metaphors to describe Himself and hardly explicitly say He is using metaphors, nonetheless, the disciples crystal clearly understood what was said with the metaphors, such as John 6:35's: "Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."

SifonAbasi:
Good morning friends.

Please how can I politely stop my ex from visiting my home?

Yesterday was the third time my husband returns from work to meet my ex in our house.

After the incident that happened between us, my ex started coming closer to my husband and they became distance friends.
My husband invited him to our child's naming ceremony and that was how he got to know our house.

Eversince then he has been visiting and I am not comfortable with it.
I told if he must come he should come when my husband is around.

Please what should I do?

MuttleyLaff:
The 17th century is not contemporary times nah, as that is the period where from that phrase originated, in the 1651 collection of poems or Olor Iscanus to be precise.

The parable(s) told in story about a man were not only as a matter of fact written down by Jesus' contemporaries. The first gospel as a matter of fact was written 40 years after Jesus' death and not several decades later, as you tried to suggest. The gospels were written on the strength of firsthand eyeswitnesses and before publishing, investigated corroborating eye witness report.

The analogy made a succint comparison and served the purpose of explaining how do you know, when it is said, it rained cats and dogs last night, where the myth ends and truth begins and also that it is not one myth nested in another,

MuttleyLaff:
LordReed2nd, it rained cats and dogs last night is a metaphor and not absolute truth. How do you know, when it rained cats and dogs last night, where the myth ends and truth begins and also that it is not one myth nested in another, hmm?

Parables, just like I said about myths, are used to tell a story or talk about a certain event or relevant person in the form of a metaphor. It also is like telling a joke, when cracking a joke, it doesnt necessarily mean, the joke is devoid of some element of truth and reality in it. Well, so is the case and same with parables and/or myths. If you know, you know. Who no know, no go know.

MuttleyLaff:
The parables, that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ generoulsy used to teach with are very much like myths, lol. When the truth, seemingly is bitter to hear and often difficult to bear, then employing mythology, lol, makes the medicine go down easier, lol budaatum.

Guy1979:
Insults and abuses are simply indications of mental immaturity. Your finite mind can never comprehend an infinite God.

You can never 'figure' Him out. You receive Him by revelation and relate with through your fourth dimension... which is your spirit.

God isn't responsible for man's misfortunes.

We are primarily responsible for what happens, good or bad, to us on Earth...our house...just like a tenant is primarily responsible for what he or she does in her apartment. That is the consequence of freewill. And God will never encroach on anyone's freewill.

It's an indisputable fact that God is love. That is why all kinds of 'spiritual bats' can heap blames, insults, abuses, resentment, etc on God... and seem to get away with it.

But know this, dear atheist: a man is justified or condemned by his words. What you say today will eventually speak for or against you when you eventually die and open your eyes in eternity...only to find yourself staring right into the eyes of Almighty God. And then you suddenly realise that the joke has been on you all this while.

And the fun part is...I and other believers will be right there with the last laugh. And boy... we will laugh at you guys...

My simple advice: repent and retrace your steps to God.

There is no gain in hating God or denying His existence. It makes absolutely no sense.

You didn't create yourself; you didn't create the air you breathe; you didn't create a single thing in existence...and yet here you are...mocking the One who did...simply because you have allowed yourself to believe the twisted notion that He doesn't care about mankind's problems? That He doesn't exist; that He has turned His back on humanity...

You're still breathing... aren't you? You still have eyes to see and fingers to type your vitriolic words...don't you?

The manuscript of life has already been written...and our acrimony will never change it.

Love or hate God; it's either you play by His divine rules...or be sent out with a divine red card...

If you choose to hold on to your atheistic beliefs...good luck with that.

God remains my Heavenly Father. Jesus remains my Lord & Saviour, the Holy Spirit remains my Comforter & Counsellor, and the Angels remain my friends & protectors.

These are not the words of an ignorant or gullible mind; they're sober affirmations of one has experienced the power of God in spirit & in truth.

Shallom!

And god was watching over that CAN official that was beheaded, right?
You just quoted more from your fairy tale book to back up a myth. What a life

Any sex beyond 5mins is dangerous.


Yes many go for longer including me but it is very dangerous especially doggy. So if she wants to go 3hours just let her do the work.
