Hismasterpiece:
When he talks about a priest and a levite and an armed robber in his parable was He being metaphorical? Besides I have many scriptures that teach that man is indeed a spirit that lives in body.

Yes it is a parable, even your fellow Christians will be disappointed in you. Don’t take it literally, word for word..

Hismasterpiece:
The story of the good samaritan, for example was told to teach us to show people kindness if we are in a position to do so.

The story of the rich man and lazarus was told to teach us that when a person dies, they go to either one of two places, heaven or hell.

Told to teach you and give an idea not to be taken literally, the story of spreading seeds on a stone and so on, give you an idea not to be taken word for word. That’s why it’s called parables. When Jesus died and came back did they call it parable?
Darn

Hismasterpiece:
If only you'd read peter's epistle, bro

You can’t state it?
You are not sure bro.

Hismasterpiece:
It's all over the Gospels and Peter talks about it in his epistle, Jude also talks about it

Then just give me one from the “all over” except parables.

Hismasterpiece:
Just cause it is a parable doesn't mean it isn't to be taken literally. A parable is simply a story told to teach a truth.

So how do you take a story literally?

Janosky:
Historians are aware the sahidic Coptic Bible existing as early as the 2nd century CE,
older than the Septuagint.
https://www.internationalstandardbible.com/C/coptic-versions.html

"..... A Coptic (Sahidic) MS, written considerably before 350 AD, and published by the British Museum in April, 1912, contains Deuteronomy, Jonah, and Acts, and is older than any other Biblical manuscript (except a few fragments) yet known to exist. It proves that this Sahidic version was made about 200 AD. It in general supports the "Western" text of codex Bezae (D). Much of the New Testament especially still exists in Sahidic"

" a god was the word" John 1:1 Sahidic Coptic Bible,200 AD."

There’s part 2 https://www.internationalstandardbible.com/S/septuagint-2.html
Only international Bible are historians? Lol
Google even already said it, you are just living in denial and being dogma.

they are aware.
100AD

And from what you quoted, they were talking about the dialect, not the Coptic Bible(when it was collected as a whole)

No atheist on nairaland. Don't be deceived.

You lack knowledge.
God is a title not a name of person.

Now if you are saying your god is Jehovah are you not saying Muslims are atheist or you both worship Jehovah? Lol

MangekyoAlt:
Imposing ban on the PM of Britain goes to show that their relationship with Russia has reached rock bottom. Russia is planning to cut off ties with these completely useless parasites from the west. They kept sending money they looted from Africa to Ukraine, who keeps using the money to purchase Chinese products, since apparently, it is reported that it is the Chinese that are currently finishing all Ukraine's money as their trade increased by 70% in the last month

Russian propaganda.

elated177:
Mtcheeeeew! Just as I thought.

Exactly what a believer will say. Run run, your faith is fragile.

MaxInDHouse:

Believer

MaxInDHouse:
I'm a believer jàre, and it's like Janosky too is not part of you ALL making two persons removed from your ALL Truthcoder, Janosky....

Bla bla, ride on believer

Janosky:
The Septuagint is NOT older than the Sahidic Coptic Bible of John 1:1.

Janosky only post fact.

It’s older THAN sahidic Coptic Bible, it’s even not part of the earliest atall.
Post your fact with evidence, be bold of it.

Janosky:
OP, your claim is not true.
Cross check John 1:1 Emphatic Diaglott Bible ©1864 & Sahidic Coptic Bible,2nd Century CE Bible older than all English language Bibles.

The Septuagint is the oldest translated Bible, and that “word” there means logos.
What’s logos?

MaxInDHouse:
I love it when you call me a BELIEVER because that's what i am for real.
So keep learning from true believers that you can't correct anyone on any issue unless you BELIEVE (TRUST) the source of your info!

Who ask you story? Mr believer
If you love it you won’t be complaining about it, hin dey pinch you na why you dey explain unnecessarily , keep on believing other witnesses and don’t experience/know it yourself.

MaxInDHouse:
Keep on learning!

Sure. keep on believing, believer

MaxInDHouse:
Good, so it's not ALL!

Ride on believer .

MaxInDHouse:
ALL excluding the one you're responding to now!

Yes believer.

MaxInDHouse:
He is still learning so he needs time to decipher sarcastic threads like this.
The OP doesn't believe the Bible but because he knows the difference between Churchgoers and competent scholars of the Bible he called out a real Bible student then instead of going straight to ask his questions he wanted to gather antagonists from all sects so he attached the name of a group that's most CRITICIZED.
That's why i ignored him.
But as for the young Maynman guy i decided to teach him a lesson now he's obsessed with my posts to the point of posting screenshots of my post forgetting that that's the main reason why the OP specifically created the thread in my name!

We all know who got served, believer

[quote author=truthCoder post=111988226]He was simply making noise. Repeating google search posts from random websites.

[/b]So if i write an article on my blog that Buhari was with Abraham on the mount and per chance google ranks the page first, does that lend credence to my claims?

[b]

No wonder you guys are easily bamboozled by religious artists.

You are simply ignorant, repeating verses from a book you don’t know his origin.

That’s exactly what the Bible is, you are basing your life only one article (book), does that lend to credence to your Claims? Better listen to your advice.
Do you have any evidence of your god and religion apart from what someone you don’t know wrote in a book?
No wonder, religion and indoctrination has truly brainwashed you believer.

truthCoder:
Can you just stop quoting google?

Haba.
Responding with first SEO ranked page on google doesn’t imply your response is right.

[/b]Try and listen when debating also. [b]

It is tiresome explaining things to people whp are bent on proving their position despite not even understanding their position themselves.

Reading your posts is mentally excruciating

Can you also stop quoting the Judaism book?
Why is the truth inconveniencing you?

Why don’t you listen to your advice? And learn?
Yes it’s mentally excruciating for brainwashed sheeps..

Image123:
Sorry to disappoint you, i have never being disillusioned about God. According to the definition you presented, i have never being disappointed in God or discovered Him to be less good than believed. i know there are people even in the Bible that faced something similar and overcame, like in the Psalms where the Psalmist "lost it" for a while until he became better informed.
i seem very lucky to have found God(or be found of God) by very ordinary/natural means in the midst of supernatural happenings. i didn't get saved by some wowing event or miraculous aura. It was just the logical and sensible thing to do. So i guess that helped me not to be the bread and butter, prosperity-gospel christian that many people are and that you seem to have been. i knew the Word of God, what to expect from God, what God promised and what He did not exactly say. Of course i know God is not a magic wand or genie, neither is He going to "answer" every prayer. So i have never had a faith crises of why did God allow/not allow this or that to happen. And i must tell you, things have indeed happened and not happened. But my faith was never based on things in the first place. i've seen genuine children of God suffer in the Bible and in real life, in fact there was a book titled "why do the righteous suffer?" which i read a looong time ago. Fortunately, the only person who can shake my faith in God is me, not the devil or any other person or thing, and me is not alive .

You are a true believer truly.

elated177:
Tell me a little about yourself.

I know that I know nothing. You a believer right?

elated177:
Premium wailing and frustration.

You can now take a walk. Go and continue to wail by opening more threads. You go wail tire.

You don’t know of any evidence, only belief of evidences that’s all you got.
And knowledge is different from belief, you will agree?

JovialJune:
Does that justify domestic violence?

Explain to me how possible it is for her to do abortion in a federal government hospital in a country where abortion is illegal, or didn't you see that part? Isn't that a clear cut lie?

The stupid guy obviously came to spoil show for her because she used her brain to walk away from a beast, but fools will always support their fellow fools just to cast aspersions on females.

No b Nigeria we dey? Why can’t they do something illegal? Or you are saying the Nigeria system is perfect and that critical?

Workch:
I'm looking for evidence, you cannot provide it. If there is evidence for god, atheist will not exist. Science would have seen it

And science has seen there gods.

Kobojunkie:
Interesting!

Kobojunkie:
Stronger penalties against rape then than we have now in Nigeria?

Since the victim is someone’s property, the owner of the property has the right to take laws into his hands immediately.
This type of law was more revered and practiced then.

Igbofam:
2 missiles not one hit the Moskva and those were missiles which travel as fast as 650miles per hour.

They first used drones to distract The defence systems of the ship so it wouldn't detect the missiles before they hit.

The Neptune missile which was used have their targets set from drones

Makes the story even better, see how they are doing almighty Russia, sending a decoy first and hitting them where they want to..

LordReed:
The Neptune missile is not basic.

I know, I’m using it to counter how powerful they portray Russia.
That is, Almighty Russia could have shot it down.

SarkinYarki:
We know it was American stealth missiles that hit that ship ..there is no way that that Ukrainian copy called Neptune could have hit this ship

You are right, ordinary stealth missiles from US was undetected by almighty Russia and they allowed it hit them, or did they intentionally allow it?
