Please don't judge her. Allow her to mourn the way she pleases. She might be dancing away her sorrows. Not necessarily about the money being sprayed. Learn to let people live their lives. No be everything dem dey criticize.

On the contrary, I do not cover for Religions - but if a Religion makes a realistic claim, it will be supported.
So what EVIDENCE does agnostics and Muslims have regarding life after death?

Note that Muhammad had no such evidence and agnostics said they aren't sure if God exists or not!🙂

I created this thread to discuss the shape of the earth as described in the Bible and not gravity or water circle.... My question to you which I guess you are trying to deflect still stands, show me one verse that states clearly the earth is a ball, a sphere or globe.....
Funny enough God's word has given us an idea on the shape of the earth when nobody during Isaiah's time (3,500 years ago) thought of such.
So you can continue arguing if that's what pleases you!🙂

There is no need arguing, we are online, open any language translation website and enter the words in Hebrew.... As I said earlier you can have a circle on a flat plane....
If you are not just arguing address the other verses that talks about gravity and water circle!🙂

It is not ambiguous, check my last comment.... I already unravel the falsehood in your last comment.... The hebrew language does not use the same word for both circle and sphere... Just admit it, you misquoted the verse in your defense of a globe earth.....
Do your own language have different ways of rendering both words?

If not then know that the book has given us an idea of how our planet looks and it's definitely not flat!😟
Christianity Etc › Re: VIDEO: As A Bible Scholar Or Believer, Why Do You Think The Earth Is A Globe? by MaxInDHouse(m): 11:01am On Jul 12
truthera:
Checked, you are wrong the Hebrew word for circle is "ma'agal" while Hebrew word for sphere is "khadur".... what this means is that you do not even understand what you quoted.... That verse is another pointer in defense of the earth being a flat plane and not a sphere....
ChatGPT!🙂

Now you feel the Bible should tell you it's a sphere and not circle simply because ancient Hebrews have different rendering for the two words but what about your own mother tongue?
If your own language doesn't have such how do you expect readers of Isaiah in ancient times to fully understand what he penned down when CIRCLE and SPHERE are similar?😟

truthera:
Hmm the verse is ambiguous that's why am asking you to show another verse where earth is clearly stated as a ball....
Ambiguous because you're determined to criticize God's word.

For your information God's word told us thousands of years before scientists discover gravity that God hanged this planet upon nothing when nobody back then could believe that something as heavy as a rock mass could float without anything supporting it.


He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing. ‭Job 26:7 NIV‬

And when nobody believes in the water circle God's word said:


“He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind." ‭Job 36:27-28 NIV‬

Please are these verses also ambiguous?😟

The word used is "circle" not "sphere"..... you can have a circle on a flat plane.....
Do you have a different word for circle and sphere in your own mother tongue?
Because the Hebrew word translated CIRCLE can also be rendered SPHERE!😟

You are the "Bible Scholar" here and not me.... I challenged you to provide 10 verses in defense of your globe earth but you could only muster one verse that isn't even clear to support your argument.....
I told you from the beginning that the Bible is not a science textbook so how do you expect God's word to start teaching what He has told you to go out and discover?


God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and discover it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” ‭Genesis 1:28 NIV‬

Checke Isaiah 66:1 and note the word used "footstool"....
This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? ‭Isaiah 66:1 NIV‬

The word "FOOTSTOOL" really sound strange to you shey?

Well it's an illustration because the first part says "heaven is my throne" which means His majestic presence is in the spiritual realm while planet earth is His subservient. Check your English Dictionary for the meaning of footstool and see how it's related to subservient.🥱

Read it down to verse 7
OK o!🥱


The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth. The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. ‭Psalms 19:1-7 NIV‬

Perhaps the highlighted in red is what you meant it simply means the sun rises from east and set in the west just as everyone on planet earth can see it but how does that contradicts what Isaiah 40:22 said that the earth is spherical in shape nah?🤔

Ọmọ study God's word instead of listening to atheists who are seeking ways to discredit the Bible.
The way you talk is as if you are fully prepared for this but it's obvious you never studied the Bible yourself you only rely on whatever critics fed you!😟

People like you just follow social media you don't read God's word yet you want to argue based on what someone else told you.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Do Christians Give Thanksgiving In Church After Losing A Loved One? by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:48am On Jul 12
Though the so called THANKSGIVING in churches of Christendom is unscriptural but this is what we found written in God's word:

A good name is better than good oil, and the day of death is better than the day of birth. Better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting, for that is the end of every man, and the living should take it to heart. Ecclesiastes 7:1-2

Better is the end of a matter than its beginning. Better to be patient than to be haughty in spirit. Ecclesiastes 7:8


When a Christian ends his earthly journey as a faithful servant of God such a person has successfully followed the footstep of Jesus who announced at his own final breath saying:

“It has been accomplished!” John 19:30

So it calls for thanksgiving but churches of Christendom have turned it to something else!

Also, are there any other Bible apps you think more Christians should know about? I'm always looking for good recommendations.
Jesus said to his true disciples:

"But the helper, the HOLY SPIRIT, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you" John 14:26

Pray to God for the gift of God's holy spirit! Luke 11:13

You've made a generalization of Islam. There are two classes of Muslim here in Nigeria; the flexible and rigid.
I showed you what Muhammad said yet you want to cover up for this FALSE RELIGION. Muhammad said there is no assurance for Muslims including himself so what CONFIDENCE do you want to give his followers?
Whether you believe or not Jesus said:

“All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations" Matthew 28:18-19

Guy abeg stop deceiving yourself!🥱

Separately, do members of JW Organization vote on election days?
Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses Jesus said:

"They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world." John 17:16

You can search Nairaland to see if any member of Jehovah's Witnesses make any comment on the politics section.
We only hope in God's kingdom and that is the only government we preach about or in other words campaign for! Matthew 10:7

Thanks for reading.
What makes you think the person in your video fully understands what he or she quoted?
I don't believe in social media fallacies so if all you want is for everyone to watch a video i think it's not necessary responding to your question!

Thanks for sharing the Christian perspective.
And as you said, universally, religion's role is to guide mankind to God.

Sadly many delegated that journey to others, letting others serve as middlemen and idols to God, and that's how religion was soiled into being a destructive too today - opium of the masses.
Thankfully Jesus has been separating his own friends since his return {Matthew 25:31-32} and today he has restored true Christianity but you'll be shocked to know the name God gave His worshipers after that separation work Jesus did! Isaiah 65:15🙂
Christianity Etc › Re: If The Pastor Is Powerful, Why Did He Employ A Sign Language Interpreter? by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:56pm On Jul 11
Stephen0mozzy:
I think I know. But let's hear yours... I just might unlearn and relearn.
The role of religion is to guide obedient humans to the doing of God's will. Matthew 7:21
But first of all we need to ascertain what the will of God is.
The will of God is clearly stated in what God said in the beginning:

“Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.” Genesis 1:28

So the true religion supposed to gather all faithful, sincere, honest hearted and obedient humans to work together as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers! Isaiah 2:2-4

This is what Jesus said will be the role Christianity supposed to play while the Christians globally view their fellow believers as one family {Mark 10:30} and love will bind them together just as Jesus loves his disciples! John 13:34-35

This love differ from that which was mentioned in the old testament saying "love your neighbor as yourself" {Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:39} this one only exists among Christ's friends! John 13:34-35

So any religion that fails to achieve this among its adherents is fake because Jesus said it's this love that will serve as identifying mark of his true disciples! John 13:34-35
Christianity Etc › Re: Foolishness Is A Decision – The Five Foolish Virgins by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:40pm On Jul 11
The illustration is about holy spirit!

The oil simply means the spirit of God that strengthens, reminds and teaches Christians how to survive spiritually in the time of prophecy fulfilment. John 16:12-13; Act 1:8

So if a Christian fails to beg God for the holy spirit {Luke 11:13} which is the spiritual fuel by the time the Christ comes to take away his corulers such a person will surely miss out. Matthew 25:11-13

In the late 19th century it was cristal clear to most Bible readers that they are getting closer to the time Jesus will return but they lack the full understanding of how things will turn out. Most Bible readers expected the destruction of evildoers/earth while others thought they will be taken to heaven alive.

So by the time Jesus returned most Bible readers have become so engulfed in the world's political struggles that marks the beginning of 20th century and by the time Jesus comes faith in the kingdom of God has been taken away from the heart of 99.9999% of people claiming Christians! Luke 18:8

truthera:
If you've read the Bible and believe in some part or all of what is written, then you should know the earth is not a globe....
The Bible is not a science textbook so it is funny how most people expect God's word to teach anything that's not the core subject matter of the Bible.
However the Bible actually gave us some ideas about the shape of our planet home. According to God's word the earth is spherical:

There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers. He is stretching out the heavens like a fine gauze, And he spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Isaiah 40:22

So let's pick the points one after the other picking the highlighted in red.
1. The Hebrew word translated CIRCLE is closer to SPHERE.

2. Inhabitants of planet earth are glued to it like ants because the force of gravity is involved.

3. The space keeps expanding as God is stretching it.

I have an advice for you!

I've noticed that you are overwhelmed with what is happening in the politics of this world so try not to allow it infect you because that is the only religion that's making people hate, fight and kill people!😟

kayjordan:
Muslims, Atheist and Agnostics in this thread, have proven their religion one way or the other. And they sound exactly like you, CONFIDENT.
Now you have started lying again!😂
No Muslim can be confident of Islam because Muhammad himself who is the founder of the religion told them he doesn't know what Allah may choose to do with him so they should continue praying for him that's why all Muslims have continued praying for Muhammad, his family and disciples till today. Though due to shame they may not admit what Muhammad told them as his last statement but ask any Muslim why they always pray for Muhammad if they are truly CONFIDENT of their religion.
Agnostics don't even know what God says because the group always say they can't prove or disapprove the existence of God. So stop deceiving yourself!🥱

kayjordan:
This is why I keep repeating: how sure is your path?
And what if all "sacrifices" on earth lead to a blank life...?
Despite all the evidences i've shown you from God's promises to how it's been fulfilling till today?
Guy you love deceiving yourself walahi talahi!😂
Different schools of thought have been saying they have knowledge about God and heaven yet they often pick up weapons against one another in the same religion or organization.
Please if you are not deceiving yourself how can you compare such people with Jehovah's Witnesses?
For your information God simply means the supreme being so if two people truly believe in someone as the supreme being can they pick up weapons against each other knowing fully well what the supreme one said about judging whoever is evil?
Whether Muslim or Agnostics or any other group you can think of politics always makes them hate, fight and kill their own members not to even talk of their neighbors.
So if they are truly CONFIDENT in what the SUPREME BEING says why are they still fighting and killing themselves?🥱

how determined and ready are you to find out that your faith alongside others, have not followed the path of righteousness all along, but rather the path of condemnation, if any?
God promised His true worshipers:

They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore. Isaiah 2:4b

Will they be found in just a location?

God answered:

And many PEOPLES will go and say: Isaiah 2:3a

How are they going to achieve this?

At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name. Malachi 3:16

That's the reason why Jesus sent his true disciples Jehovah's Witnesses out to go and speak with people in their homes! Matthew 10:11-13

Why should the Jews be condemned for not simply abiding?
The true God didn't condemn the Jews as humans rather He condemned them as people deserving His holiness that is why they were displaced from the land God promised Abraham Isaac and Jacob. So both Jews and Samaritans can find other places to stay among the rest of mankind but it's the land God promised to give His own worshipers they don't deserve!

kayjordan:
The persecution of Jews over the years was a capital infringement on human right. Today, the Jews are doing quite well in business around the world as a result of the hostility towards them from Christians.
First of all religionists persecuting their fellow humans are not true Christians so withdraw that statement.
Secondly what God promised His true worshipers on the land He gave Abraham Isaac and Jacob is PEACE and SECURITY not WORLDLY RICHES.
Whatever JEHOVAH promises His own worshipers can't be achieved by any other people so worldly riches could be gotten by anyone and any race but as for what Jehovah promised it's only for His own true worshipers!
