i dare say ,if you were a christian ever, you never knew the reason you believed. And you never had any real relationship with God so He wasnt real to you. Everything u did was all dry meaningless motion, it doesnt take long for you to get tired of the hypocrisy and throw in d towel.
Especially when u see ur fellow christians living double lives .
The reason every Christian born believes all the ridiculous Christian dogmas is because of
1. The people around him/her- family and church force it on him from childhood
A stage when he is too fragile minded and easily deceived into anything
2. The Christian born has only ever known the Christian dogmas to the mysteries of the universe...he has nothing to compare and contrast with
3. The fear of hell and eternal damnation keeps the Christian born captured

nimrod didnt try to create a NWO.
God didnt change human language.

Like i said do ur research.
Even som atheists will reprimand you for your ignorance on this.

How would africa here of nimrod wen the world as at then was congregated in one place and spoke one language?
After the confusion of tongues men dispersed to populate the world. Logical.
Very logcal.

Somthg about becomg an atheist and an uncontrollable urge to cuss God and Jesus!
Lol. Bro, i understand. It's spiritual.
Jesus Loves you as you are.
Satan hates you and wants to take you and all ur fellow atheists to hell.
When u want to cuss God ,dyu think it's really u doing it?
Think.
Dyu wanna cus som1 u dont believe is real?
U ar exhibiting genuine hate and anger!
Jesus is real bro.

Didnt isreal win in the battle against amalek?
Hmmn. Now,thts my boy smiley you did som research! My am impressed.
We are now getting into deep things. Namely,the character of God.
First, God is a Sovereign.
The closest analogy,is the image of an Ancient King, not a modern diplomatic president.
The word of a king is power.
God had said,actually said is a weak word,the right word is "decreed", a decree cannot b upturned.
If an earthly kings words had so much power,how much more the words of the utmost sovereign God?
God decreed tht any1 who blessed his own He God wud bless and any one who cursed His own He God wud curse
(see God's promise to Abraham).
With tht word released,there is no going back.
Amalek attacked without cause , yeah,they were temporarily fended off. But thts not enuff.
Jericho did the same.
On God's scale of justice,the weight to bring the scale to balance was annahilation.
This isnt vengeance or vengefulness but justice.
Sin and wickedness has a weight. It is like a debt. It must b paid to bring things to balance.
In OT Jesus had not yet died.
So He hadnt paid d price for Man's sins. So when man's debt accumulated on the scale , God wud send people to warn man, to stop heaping up d sin gravy.
But man wud often ignore until it got to danger point. Then God would hav to mete out justice.
Sin is a weight tht has to b paid.
Understand this . God never wantonly lashed out at people in the OT.
We cannot humanly, decipher how the weight of sin is. But God does and his justice is fair and just even if it doesnt look so to us.
Wat happens wen sin goes unpunished .i.e untreated?
I mean by a human justice system?
The sin like gangrene causes death/stagnation/decay in the land.
Would you like to hav a land where there's prosperity,peace,progress?
Then sin must b eliminated by the justice system in tht land.
Because sin causes death.
When adam sinned, he first hand witnessed death. The lamb God killed to cloth him and his wife.
Next,death entered creation.

It wasnt God's plan.
It wasnt God's plan for the sun to scorch the earth or for a leaf to die on a tree or for ur grandmum to have a wrinkle.
What u see in d OT is God delivering justice as at wen due to balance the sins of man.

When u atheists want to critique wat u dont know think about this.

I think it is wrong.

If Oranmiyan established oyo.after he left Benin in 1300AD it's illogical to say 1400 is the period oyo was established as Oranmiyan must have been way over 100yrs old

Oyo was most certainly founded around 1320 AD or earlier

the babylonians where d embodiment of evil. Dont even try to debate this scour d bible,
nimrod founded babylon. Married his mother,killed his father,set up the first world order, invented and introduced sorcery.
Guy,do ur research.
The goal of many secret societies is to revive the old babylonian empire. Which,the anti christ will successfully do.
God came down in person to foil the first unified anti God society by changing man's language.

About d ameliktes stop talkg crap. You arent even tryng to hide ur biase. Amalek and Jericho and d reason for their over throw is documented in d bible.
They and pharoah earned their retribution.
Lmao pls who's this Nimrod that set world order?
Nimrod that Africans.don't know

ur silly Nimrod didn't set world order if he did the world would speak of him not just Jews

God never came down to change language...where's ur proof?
Yoruba people say as humans left Ife, they drank different river waters that changed their languages
Yoruba hypothesis is even more logically than some silly Jewish prick coming down from the sky to change human language

The amaleks troubled the Israelites yes, but did Jericho, Midian or Bethel?

compare the atrocities Hebrews committed against amalekites with the small trouble they faced with amalek in exodus 17:8-13
Didn't the Hebrews win in the battle? Why go again after many years utterly destroy them when the supposed god of Israel is forgiven and lovely

Professors are accepting Christ,how much more lesser thinkers.
That is because when d light of God's word shines on d heart of man,He sees his sinful state. Then decides whether to admit he is a sinner and accept God's free gift of salvation or harden his heart like pharoah and plod on in his sins unto perdition.
Sorry, bro Christianity is a spiritual thing not a mental thing.
Romans 10v10:
With the heart man believes ...
(heart/spirit man).

1) It is uncommon for buildings less than ten years old to collapse in Nigerian. This is the first I have seen or heard of.

2) Go ask those who approved the plan to show you the requisite evidence of approval.

3) Until you verify question 2) this question is very silly.

4) Another silly question. What shred of evidence, apart from 'dem say', do you have to prove the foundation is not appropriate for the number of floors the building had?

if u want a free theological education politely ask for one.
Stop critiquing wat u dont know even wen it's obvious you can know it.

Coming outta egypt , amalek attacked the children of Isreal without cause.
The people of Isreal were God's people. Get it?
He gave egypt as a ransom for them. Gettit.
U mess with God's people, you mess with God himself.
Amalek messed with God's people.
And when the time of judgement was right, God brought, judgement on them. They were to b obliterated off the face of d planet.
This was retribution.
This was justice.
This a hanging debt that had to be paid.
God is a God of love.
He is a God of Justice also.
Devil's tremble at the thought of him.
He is not a toothless bull dog.
He is also not a vengeful maniac.

Before egypt was laid waste pharoah was given the opportunity to let isreal go but didnt. God erased his first borns.
Egypt and Amalek attracted their judgement.

The dashing of d first borns,as grotesque as it seems, was very right.
The babylonians , chaldeans etc were a very wicked group of people in cludg being very perverse.
When God's judgement came upon them, even the little ones had to b killed-it was outright annihilation - why? because if not, those babies wud grow up in the steps of their fathers. Cruel evil and ultra perverse.

God raised isreal as a standard for the world around them to emulate . The nations around isreal were heathen nations,they had no brakes on perversion or evil.
The sacrificed their children in fire to their idols.
The were deeply into astrology, star gazing, etc
incest was normal
sleeping with animals was okay
homosexuality was rife
murder,like killing a man to get his wife, killing a man out in d field (like cain did) was nothing.
Rape and orgies - my o my.
That was fun.

This wasnt how God created Life to be. He erased the first human race in the flood.
He executed judgement on others as their sinfulness grew.
E.g smoking sodom and Gomorrah.
Y isnt he judging Man today?
He has placed man's sins on Jesus and judged Jesus as a substitute for man.
But after d rapture,the period of grace will end. God will judge the world.
1. The amaleks aren't the only ones who were violently and unfairly treated by the Hebrews on orders from Yahweh...the midians in numbers(can't remember chapter) bethel, Jericho (Joshua) and many others
2. ur god hardened the heart of pharaoh, we would never know if pharaoh ever intended to keep the Hebrews because ur god controlled his mind and took decisions for him
3. Pls what wickedness did the Babylonians commit? You can't jst say they are wicked
You lay false accusations here...a direct breech on the 10 commandments
Hell awaits you

Christianity has no experience.

you already believe Christian dogmas are true, right from childhood because you were forced to it by your parents and church
Whtever u think you experienced is not objective anymore because all of u are subconsciously wired to that belief and can't be used as a basis to prove the authenticity of ur dogmas.

Dapo777:
One thing I have noticed is that Christians,I mean staunch Christians have formed deep emotional attachment with "Yahweh". It's just like When you love someone deeply, no matter What negative thing another person might tell you about your lover,you won't believe it nor want to accept it because of the emotional attachment you have with the person,you would only think the person is jealous.
The same thing applies to Christians,They are emotionally bonded to "Yahweh" so whatever negative thing you say or imply or that you are driving at, would be opposed logically or illogically,because "Yahweh" is So dear to their heart you shouldn't mess with "him/it/her" .

If you want to have a reasonable debate with Christians first make them understand that you do not hate "Yahweh", that you are not against Christianity, that you don't think their belief is silly,you just have to appeal to their emotions first and respect their beliefs.

How do I know?

I was once a staunch Christian too,and I have had arguments with atheists as a Christian, the reason why I never saw any sense in whatever logical explanations They gave was because I thought They were only against God,I thought They were never Christians and that They aren't good people, more frightening I thought They were sent from the devil,I even thought some of them aren't ordinary humans,Yes you heard me right. I thought They were demons in human forms,So automatically whatever They say would never make any sense to me because I would never support Satan and I would always support God,I was fighting for God,and I thought God was smiling in heaven saying "That's my son" ,who knows? He could be smiling......Lol......

Being in their position once, I understand perfectly why a plainly logical statement from an atheist would NEVER convince a staunch Christian. Even If a Christian attacks me for this thread,I totally understand why.

Trust me that is exactly What the British Christians did to make primitive yorubas renounce their gods for "Yahweh" and That's the same way you can make them............you know the rest..........
Lmao. True yarn o
Although I was never a staunch Christian, I once loved Jesus like I was gay grin

Back then for you to tell me this Jesus was jst a dead and rotten Jew I would call u demon grin
