Hahahaaha. Ok, i've heard u.
knowledge is not sorted out for in this part of the world, we are ruled by money and see its acquisition as the principal thing, this is common among Blacks. These things I have told you should be known in all churches but instead it is money, money, money. I am not surprised at the thinking of atheist, their questions are legal. When one can't account fully for what he believes, I term him a fool, why don't you ponder on what I have said so far. We must not be in the band wagon.
People perish because of lack of knowledge not money yet knowledge is not highly priced. People follow foolishly without deep scrutiny. Atheists think more sensibly than most believers and their no one to present the truth as it is to the atheists do even see the way churches are competing? . Believers who can't study their books can't hope for effective Bible study. Think about what I have said don't laugh it off, I know it may be your first time of hearing this and may sound funny. One love kiss

Which original text r u talking about? So d bible we have is fake afterall.
the Hebrew text for the old in which it was originally written. The people who translated it to English made errors of addition of which I point out in some cases. The new testament was written in Greek and translated similarly. All these occurred during the time of King James under his instructions. The translation were made by non-Christian.

Lol. There is nothing believers wont say to defend God's babarism. Even God himself admitted he caused d killings due to d wickedness of man and not earth disintegrating

Gen. 6:13 After that, God said to Noah, ''the end of all flesh has come before me, because the earth is full of violence as a result of them; and here I am bringing them to ruin together with the earth''.

17: ''As for me, here I am bringing the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh in which the force of life is active from under the heavens. Everything that is in the earth will expire''.

So i dont know where ur theory of God not responsible foer d killings stem from
read the original text in Hebrew. You have to observe that the translation of the scripture to English is not accurate when subject to close comparison with the originals. I am pained that the truth has not be told in churches instead everyone is playing religion and God prosper me and prosperity in terms of money(the God of everyone and definition success undecided) . That is how someone said God drown the Titanic to show himself because the sailor said God can't drown the ship. Really undecided to know God look at Christ Hebrew 1:3.

Ur write up seems contradictory to d bible. U claim God has never killed anyone, so who sent down d flood/deluge during noah's time? If God is not responsible for d killings, why did he promise noah dat he will never do such again when he gave him d rainbow sign??
concerning the promise check the original text in Hebrew. The water could no longer stay in place place because the earth was disintegrating due to death. The water fell as a heavy down pour. Saying God did it is like saying caused the earth quake we see around to happen. These earthquake would not have killed them if they knew and evacuated the area, the same with the people in time of Noah.

Ok i do agree an all loving God wouldnt kill but if the bible was inspired by him, why ddnt he make it clear to the writers that those deaths were on lucifers head not his?

Mind you, the flood of Noah and the destruction of sodom and gomorrah amongst a few were clearly his idea! So i dont really think the God of the old testament is as innocent as you make him sound
very good, you are a thinking man. I like people who don't just believe anything. Now, you should know that the new testament was written in Greek and old testament in Hebrew. Moreover, the men who translated the Bible to English made errors by adding a little based on their thinking and rationality as seen on comparison with the original text (though it is negligible) . The Bible says that the scripture is given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. That word 'scripture' in Greek is verb not noun meaning that the urge to write was given by God but what was eventually written down was dependant on the writer's scope and revelation. Does 2 Sam 24:1 and 1 chronicles 21:1 appear to contradict? Yes it does, that shows you that the story's inspiration came from God but what was eventually written down was dependant on the writer's scope of understanding. Corruption inspired fela's music not the lyrics, beats and genre.
In that story of David, the person doing the mass killing was not God but the evil one and it was not God's anger but a disobedience to exodus 30:12. David made the census without a ransom for every man so the spirit of death capitalized on this opportunity and many people died mysteriously. And of course, the old testament folks(many) not knowing Satan attributed it to God. God gives and never takes.
Noah's case was not God's idea. Adam's sin caused death to reign not just in the body of man but the earth. Remember that it would have caused nothing for God to kill them right away isn't it? Why waste your time gathering animals and suffering a man to build a boat? Besides, he would have buried them as he buried Moses. During creation, God made two bodies of waters, one below(sea, rivers etc.) and one above meaning a body of water uniformly lined the upper atmosphere. Because death reigned, all was disintegrating and God told Noah to start building ahead of time. If God wanted to kill them, why allow Noah to warn them. They died simply because they would not heed Noah's advice and God's warning so they perished cry cry look at Jesus' statement in Matt. 24:37 no attributions to God. They died because they wouldn't listen.
To understand the Bible, you must read it in the light of the epistles so as to rightly divide the Word. Read Luke 9:51-56 Jesus was rejected but he showed the natured of God against His law-bred disciples. God can't, has never and will never kill anyone. He is love.
Any question before I race to Sodom and Gomorrah's story?

Oh but we do see evolution around us, why do you think some insectides don't have effects on mosquitoes, because those mosquitoes that were resistant to it have been naturally selected. Google Lewinsky experiment and see how he showed how new traits arised in a set of bacterial, that was d definition of evolution in the lab.
It's a misconception that evolution happens in an organism lifetime, no it doesn't, its very slow changes over many many years, its like asking when does a child becomes an adult, dere is no time when a sumone went to sleep a child and woke up an adult, its happens everyday slowly and gradually that after years,you realize that the person is grown.

That aside, the story of Adam and eve, the original sin, come on its obviously a myth...then Noah, god killing babies, Sodom and Gomorrah babies again, lets start wit does
one thing you should know is that God can't kill. It was a tradition of the old testament folks to attribute supernatural events to the workings of God as they don't have revelation of who Satan was. In fact you can count how many times Satan was mentioned in the old testament . The writer of Job knew Satan and told us that Satan, under permission, destroyed job's household but when we look at job's reply he said God gives and takes but now let me ask you who did it? Satan, why? Because he had the keys to death and hell until Jesus stripped him off it in revelations chapter 5. So you see death is the handiwork of lucifer. Remember Elisha and the little kids? Did God support their kill? No God made it that when His ordained prophets say a thing, it comes to pass as a proof that they are His so you see that was what was operating then and coupled with Elisha's misuse of power, 42 children died. And since death was involved, you know Satan was involved as he had the key to death and hell. You can now explain elijah' calling down of fire to kill 50 men. 2 pet. 3:9 shows you it is not God's will for men to die. Men die by ignorance, wrong choices and stupidity.
This lays down the preliminary of my teaching, any disagreement on your side before we discuss Adam and eve and the likes?

The only way is Jesus, grow in the knowledge of Christ and character. It is God's will for you to have money because the provision is there in the Holy Spirit but if you don't believe and you base everything on your hard work, they God won't do anything he does not interfere with our free will, God wants us to be the main determinant of our destiny ie. What you want is what you see you make first move of faith by believing and confessing. A colourful life is guaranteed in Christ.

Many of us,often times have always been overwhelmed with that feeling of hassles and hustle associated with workweek. Monday is usually the start of a whole new week countdown until fridays.However, happiness should be something habitual and not just reserved only for the weekends.
You can actually feel happier instantly, with or without money by the following ways;

1.) PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
Sure,it's that simple-just by mere smiling. Smiling is contagious.When you smile at others,they smile back at you and everyone is happy.

2.) BE KIND AND GENEROUS
All around us, there are always people who are in dear need of assistance,why not help them-By doing so,you put smile on their faces,nature smile back at you and most importantly you become happier (logic).

3.) CREATE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS
Both fake and real friends,all na friends...lol grin
Why not build good relationships with the people around you. People who are sociable and have strong relationships tend to be the happiest people as they share best events of their day with loved ones and encourage them to do the same.

4.) GO OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND HAVE A FEEL OF NATURE
A times,just go outdoors and feel the wonderful creation of God. Just take a walk,stroll after walk all around with friends.
At least, this way; you 'fit forget all the current harsh economic trend and the issues of fuel price hike wey dey Naija'...lol grin grin

5.) ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD NIGHT REST
It's not always work,work and work. Try to always get a good night rest,we are humans and not animals-Even goat dey sleep sef! lol grin grin
Getting enough sleep is essential to face the upcoming day by giving us more energy and happiness.

6.) U fit add yah own. wink kiss

Finally, note that money does not buy happiness,money only buys your comfort.
√ Happiness is a perspective,it depends on the way you look at life and the people around you.
√ Happiness is a skill that comes with effort and practice.
√ Happiness comes from.mindfulness,peaceful mind,meaning and altruistic living.

Make i drop pen so that i fit get energy blow bomb another day. grin grin grin shocked shocked

Well we can actually know something both don't believe it, like quantum spokyness, we know it happens, but its hard to accept it, even dark energy, we know its there but hard to get your head around




That's not the only evidence you know, there is fossil records, embrology, vestial organs, morphology, geology, and most importantly DNA and molecular genetics. The evidence is overwhelming and it has gotten stronger over the years even the catholic church officially accepts that God used evolution to create life as do many well educated Christians. Intelligent design is a good hypothesis, but there is no evidence supporting it and science works on evidence.



Ofcos we can, would love too
well, we say things are hard to believe or accept because we see no correlation or logical relationship until first hand experience or deep unbiased research and reflection. As for evolution, it is true that fossils in which mysteries abound exist even for extinct species but equating it with humans because they look alike is plausible but it lacks certainty. How can animals that don't live long undergo a million years evolution? Why can't we see evolution around us?
Concerning the seeming flaws in the Bible, there are many instances where a loving God appears to kill or permit evil. Could you pick a case you know a let trash it out? wink

Nicely said, but there is a problem with that response, believe. I don't think you believe the sun is hot, you just know, because it's a fact, and I dnt think you believe that 2+2=4, you just know it, that's the definition of truth, it is singular, self-evident, independent of belief, it is fact.

So I don't want to believe, I want to know and in my process of seeking knowledge, I have found that there isn't a shred of evidence for the God hypothesis.

You also mentioned something about not able to prove God, I agree perfectly, no one can prove gods existence or disprove it, but because I cannot prove or disprove that there is a red calabash revolving round the sun in between the orbits of earth and mars doesn't mean i can't reject the idea because of the grounds that it is highly unlikely...
when I studied philosophy, I learnt that to know something you must believe as you can't say you know but don't believe. On the other hand you can believe something you don't really know much about. I concur. The Bible says to know God you must believe that He exist and there is no other way. Scientists believe evolution but were not there during the process but they say they have evidence by virtue of similarities observed among organisms but can you rule out the fact that this similarities could mean design by Someone with a simple basic plan employing wonderful variation. Think about it.
Mathematical operations are concepts that are defined. 2+2=4 follows from the definition likewise the concept of heat. How anyone say that mere intuition is the basis of the existence of things. I go with science but there are things that beat the mind. Can you and I discuss seeming flaws in the Bible to put you in order smiley

And so what's the truth? Since you yourself just acknowledged the large fragmentation in the religious world, even within the same religion, so how do you know the truth?
my brother, you just have to believe. Come to think of it, Mr A said God does not exist and Mr B said God exists. Mr A does not have the right to standardize his belief and impose it on Mr B. The same goes for Mr B. People who say God does not exist because they can't prove him or they want to go theoretical and logical. Who made this a standard basis. Is it not also theoretical possible that there exist a being perfect, all power, all knowing who created the universe and can't be seen but connected with through faith, who made it that not being able to see or hear God is a basis for His existence, that person should stand and prove it. As I can confidently tell God is very simple and real and the truth is in the bible. To know more, go around a true Bible believing church not the ones that will tell you that God placed a iceberg to sink Titanic killing millions of children undecided or the ones that are too religious. Any thing else you want to know my brother.

When a man is addicted to weed, porn, alcohol or hard drugs it takes a toll on his mental welfare with time. All the vices I listed above have similar effects and brain damage, gradual degeneration of gray matter, loss of cognitive ability and intelligence, anxiety, depression etc. are results of these especially withdrawal symptoms . But you know Nigerians when something does not make sense to them or they can't see the correlation, then it is nonsensical only to make sense when they have a first hand experience. After some time, later in life it results to dementia (alzheimer). Please beware the severity of these effect increases with time once the damage is done.
