MaxInDHouse: This is what you typed:
So if you only prayed to your God and got what you asked it totally differs from claiming lame work and blind see otherwise you should prove it yourself but of course you're lying to your own soul now you want to say there is no pastor or prophet doing it then who opened the eyes of the blind and made the lame whole? Ọmọ you're just deceiving yourself God answered all people when it comes to their needs! Matthew 5:45  MaximumSide can lie. Aha! In addition to my own testimony, because In pentecostal, we believe, teach and encourage ourselves to exercise faith. We have results individually and cooperately. GB teachers faithlessness in a faithful God and leave them confused.  Be deceiving yourself. Jehovah God, not that of JWs is faithful. He has not changed. God answers people in their area of needs as regulated by GB.  |

MaxInDHouse: So you agree that the GB have faith like Timothy. Good! You can continue deceiving yourself with those liars claiming they're performing miracles yet contradicting themselves in teaching. Jesus have forewarned us against such liars that they will perform miracles but they will not agree on terms and conditions of worship making them workers of lawlessness! Matthew 7:21-23  I am saying that I prayed and my own Jehovah not jehovah of the JWs answered me. Not any pastor or prophet or any special crusade or programme. Your GB taught you that your own Jehovah is on holiday. My own Jehovah answers my prayers including health issues. I am a living witness to His Acts not witnesses without evidence!  |

MaxInDHouse: So who is performing all these so everyone can bring REAL blind, lame and deaf for healing?
With your grey hair you're still going about with deceitful people claiming what God never promised gentiles shey?
Well it's not the GB that wrote what Jesus said in the Bible, miraculous healings is only for Israelites {Matthew 15:24} that's why Timothy wasn't healed miraculously but have to be placed on medication! 1Timothy 5:23 Timothy and Titus were contemporaries: Timothy wasn't that strong, almost everything he had to do was dictated to him ditto his faith. Timothy and GB are in the same class. Titus and I are in the other. We believe what God says without adding colours. Exodus 23:25; 1 Peter 2: 24. I & 2 Peter are not written to Jews. They are written to believers. Your faithless GB are teaching you faithlessness.  |

MaxInDHouse: You always misconstrue my post but that's not a problem all you need is enlightenment.
Did you miss this part in my post?
Of course God has arranged that man should be cured using different fruits and vegetables to heal us that's why atheists feel what they want as evidence of God's ability to heal are the things recorded in the Bible: faith healing without the use of any food or drinks.
For your information a type of food may be the cure to a disease but it's until we discover it such a disease remains incurable to researchers (scientists)
So if you claim God healed you the same is applicable to everyone else as long as they eat food and drinks fluids sicknesses are cured but when it comes to healing without taking any food or drinks God never promised other nations except the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that's why Jesus could tell a woman he's not here for miraculous healing of none Israelites! Matthew 15:24 This is an area you don't know Sir. No amount of arguments can make you convince someone who was suffering and now healed. Who was blind and now sees. Who was lame and now walks. Who has one leg shorter than the other but now has the two same. I have seen these. Sir you disbelief or unbelief sown by GB does not hold water. |

I kept mixing the names up, I meant to say Qin Shi Huang,
Does your Jesus not got the master key? Let him open the door of my heart with it.
And at the emboldened, I've said it several times that there is majority in stupidity.
Many people may come together and be stupid together.
And about the Bible, I've probably read it more than you do, so what? Qin Shi Huang (Chinese: 秦始皇, pronunciation (help·info); [b]259–210 BC) [/b]was the founder of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor of a unified China.[9] Rather than maintain the title of "king" (王 wáng) borne by the previous Shang and Zhou rulers, he ruled as the First Emperor (始皇帝) of the Qin dynasty from 221 to 210 BC. His self-invented title "emperor" (皇帝 huángdì) would continue to be borne by Chinese rulers for the next two millennia. Isaiah prophesied 700 BC. You are not in Jesus agenda now. If you are He would bring you in . Paul did more than you are doing. I was once a critic of scriptures before. The Bible says ' a fool says in his heart there's no God. The same way you see Christians as stupid, the same way I see you on the authority of scriptures I put ahead of my knowledge of science. |

jaephoenix: Yes, science has some uncertainty. And aint ashamed of it. In fact, it thrives in proving its uncertainty and making itself less uncertain per day. Religion? It tends to portray itself as certain and unfailing, but it it so riddled with lies and miseducations. You said science hasn't solved any of man's problem. Really? At least health wise, sickle cell, HIV etc were death sentences before, but now its all good. Children die quickly from many diseases but vaccines etc have helped. Child birth were 50-50 but now maternal deaths are almost unheard of in some climes. I can go on. People take weeks to travel from one continent to other but now, its a matter of hours. What has religion contributed to humanity apart from bloodshed and scam? And dont get me started on christianity. Crusades, Witch Trials, Inquisition,Huguenot wars etc You think christianity is thriving? Lol. Bro, religion generally is declining. The percentage of religious folks are shrinking globally. Check polls and statistics. People didn't even know there are Nigerian atheists. And the number is growing. People are asking questions. And in terms of the fastest growing religion, its Islam not Christianity. So Park well  Sure? |

jaephoenix: 1. science said we came from the great ape. Backed it up with evidence. Our anatomies are similar. We humans had tails while growing in the womb, some are even born with tails. Hell, we even have tail bones. 2. The creation stories stated in the Bible and other religious and cultural sources, are all myths. They have been proven not to have happened by history and science. 3. So Yahweh dictated the creation stories to Moses? 4. I thought it is stated in the Bible that anyone that sees Yahweh dies? 5. Same Jews that don't recognize Yahweh? Are you aware they wanna make preaching about Jesus a crime in Israel? About eight-in-ten (81%) Israeli adults are Jewish, while the remainder are mostly ethnically Arab and religiously Muslim (14%), [b]Christian (2%) [/b]or Druze (2%). In fact they have gay ministers. Something that cannot even happen in Nigeria. They have Gay Pride days. Something that cannot also happen in Nigeria. Yet you still insist they are Yahweh's people 
6. Are you also aware the West is secular and not Christian. From their laws, they have made that known. Legalizing gay marriage, trans, abortion etc. 7. Please how does having biblical names concern an atheist scientist? Is it his fault his Christian parents gave him or her a Christian name? Lol I hope you know the meaning of 'theory' A model proposed and you begin to observe whether they are related with reality. Evolution has not proved why baboon has not done anything scientifically or improve their quality of life these hundred of million out years of their existence. Man hasn't evolved to something higher. While I commend scientists in their search, science has not proven that the universe is a product of accident but of an intelligent being. Professor Francis Crick in his work on DNA has same idea. An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.Francis Crick, Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature Tags: chance, life, miracles, origin-of-life, science |

FRANCISTOWN: There is no such thing as being perfect.
Science thru geological and archeological facts has proven that our great great fore fathers El principio existed more than 200,000 years ago as opposed the bible which is barely 8,000 years ago. So how is that a perfect record of genealogy?
I still maintain that aside your religious books, there is no other record that confirms the existence of Jesus. Genghis Khan lived far before the time your said Jesus lived, yet there are irrefutable proofs that he truly lived. I say this again. Jesus never lived, and there is no record that Isrealites were slaves in the land of Egypt not to talk of crossing the Red Sea.
The God of the whole universe, the omnipotent and omniscienct God was waiting for man to develop the art of writing. Lol, couldn't he just imbibe the knowledge of writing into Adam since creation?
That's what he always does. He is waiter.
Lemme tell you something, Science has been in existence before your jesus. Egypt was already far ahead in science and technology before your christian bs.
The Yoruba race has also demonstrated a level of advanced science in the past according to legends.
To burst your brain. Did you know that all the words of Wisdom that you see in the Bible were not from God, Jesus or any of the prophets.
The words of wisdom that can be found in the Bible are the works of ancient philosophers. It was Emperor Augustine who closed down the school of Philosophy, burnt their works so people could think that knowledge came into the world thru god.
Many of these scientists that you talk about were either agnostic, atheistic or apatheistic and the fact that they answered Jewish names never made them Christians. Even the few among them who were practicing Christianity didn't credit their success to God because they knew he didn't do shit 1. There's no history by any historian beyond 6000 years anywhere. The earliest records by Egyptian, later Babylonian etc. Science rely on carbon dating. Carbon dating itself has its own problems. O think you know the meaning of 'theory ' It simply means the truth of a thing is not known. A model is put forward and see if it complies with observation. With a failed theory another model is sought. Evolution is not definite till today and not all scientists agree with it. It has its gray areas. 2. Genghis Khan (born Temüjin; c. 1162 — 25 August 1227), also known as Chinggis Khan,[a] was the founder and first khagan of the Mongol Empire, which later became the largest contiguous land empire in history. Having spent the majority of his life uniting the Mongol tribes, he launched a series of military campaigns which conquered large parts of China and Central Asia. Conclusion: Lie. 3. You have closed your mind to the concept of Christianity and religion. Until you study the Bible you will just remain a critic. The question is why are over one billion Christian devotees don't agree with your views ? |
Christianity Etc › Re: What God Cannot Do by MightySparrow: 9:17pm On May 08, 2023 |
FRANCISTOWN: I will ask you just 2 questions.
I agree to the emboldened, but science has tried. Perhaps Science is God.
Mention with irrefutable proofs the problems that the Christian God has solved in this current generation.
I don't like what you are doing, honestly.
Let's not talk about all civilisations now. Let's talk about this our current civilisation, if truly you were knowledgeable in the science field and have followed the works of great minds.
Science discovered electricity, though it cannot be seen in the real sense but you can see it's manifestation, the results and the proof. Whether you believe in electricity or not, all you need to do is to touch a naked wire with a high voltage with your barehand. Okay! Let's say this one is a lil bit too real.
What about the second law of thermodynamics, whether you believe in science or not, you'll see the proof before your own very eyes.
I do not believe in any God because there is no God. Yes! Science has not been able to solve all human problems, but Science has proven itself to be worthy. That's why I sit comfortably in an airplane and I even take a nap with all joy.
Science has given me irrefutable proofs. Now it's the turn of your God
Science is God. Of course you know by my small level of education I know a bit of electricity and a bit more of thermodynamics. A little more of Mathematics and above all practical thinking because engineering does not work on theory but measurable quantities. So being a Christian, I can only talk about Christianity and Christian God. Science has said we have evolved from apes and possibly develop to something higher. Christian God has told the first man and woman and how they came into being, where and when. It has a perfect record of genealogy to Jesus Christ and the family of Jesus (Jews) till date. God waited till man developed the art of writing before Moses could record the beginning. He showed Himself to Enoch, Noah, Moses and many others not from Israel like Pharaoh, Darius, etc. From Eden till now He makes sure that His people appear in Egypt the ruling civilization to Assyrian to Babylonian to Medo - Persian, to Greek to Roman empire. His people challenged the wisdom and knowledge of the times and subdued them. In the field of science the Jews won Nobel prize more than any people group. Of 900 people that have received the prize about 200 are Jews. In today's world, the leaders of science are from places affected by Christian faith. Greater percentage of authorities in Science, Economics, politics etc that challenged and changed the course of things are directly or indirectly affected by Christian ethics. Everybody is challenging the leadership of the West but the countries are but and advanced baby Christian values. You mention most scientists they have names from the Bible. Good percentage of them. |
Christianity Etc › Re: What God Cannot Do by MightySparrow: 5:33pm On May 08, 2023 |
FRANCISTOWN: I do not understand what you were trying to ask me, but lemme say this.
I'm giving you first hand information based on normal day to day life of what's going on in South Korea. I've said it up there that the larger percentage of South Koreans do not pray to any god yet they still get healings that science cannot explain yet. Probably that was what you read from Late Rev. Yongi Cho's books.
So therefore, healing doesn't come from a particular god.
Healing is just like the rainbow, anybody can see it, but not everybody will see it.
If healing came from any particular god, then a particular religion will record more cases of supernatural healing more than the rests.
I still maintain that healing doesn't come from any god. People get healed in such a way that Science can't explain yet. Please do your homework. We are saying the same thing. In the same Korea,, people pray to God to get healed. South Korea once had the largest church and people are getting healed there. I agree that healing can have many sources, that science has eclipsed others even now is the problem. There are people in Korea that don't by choice use other means including the meditation and hospitals but prayers only and get their answers. Science has never eclipsed knowledge of a personal God. It is all by choice and more by experience. |

FRANCISTOWN: Why not?
Everybody in the world can be stupid at the same time so, I can't be bothered.
There was some random guy who prophesied about Corona virus but, not a single soul believed in his prophesy because he was irreligious.
One person against the whole world. Yet he won!
There was a time the whole world believed "the earth is flat", innit?
There was a time the whole world believed that "the sun revolves the earth", innit?
There was a time many people believed that "Thunder is a anger signal from gods", innit?
Lemme ask you something, what happened to all those believes?
People outgrew their stupidity. However there are still some who hold unto those believes but guess what? Their believe do not change the fact that the earth is not flat, and that the sun does revolve the earth.
Do not worry, many people are beginning to outgrow faith. They are dumping their stupid ass religion.
You see! There can be majority in stupidity. Many people can be stupid together. In the US, there are several cases of mass suicide where many people come together and they commit suicide together.
Like I said up there. Billions of people may decide to be stupid, as long as it has nothing to do with me, I'm ait. You don't need a god to prophecy. The physic people do with accuracy. Mitchell Nostradamus, Mummy Simpson, Edgar Cayce etc. However, for you to say that that those who believe in God are stupid is the challenge. Like I have always argue, I have not seen how science has taken place of a personal God. I know a bít of science myself being a Masters Degree holder in a branch of engineering. These days I read much of astrophysics. While I appreciate the giant strides in that area and the works of of people like Stephen Hawkings, Carl Sagan, Professors Wheeler, Neil Degrasse Tyson. I know many of them seem not to believe in a god. But at the frontier of scientific knowledge is uncertainty. The latest pictures by James Webb telescope cast doubt on earlier beliefs especially of Big Bang Theory. We are not certain of the nature of atoms. Except for the evidences of science, how it has improved the quality of life of humans, one can also query the verity of scientific knowledge. Science has not solved all human problems. In the attempt, the solution to a problem creates another. Can the same be said about about the inadequacies of knowledge of God? There are so many gods and many scriptures. Many gods of millennia ago are no longer in existence. Many superstitions are now debunked. Yet, the Christian God has meandered his Acts through all all civilizations, knowledge, philosophies and has not been discarded but waxing stronger in the mind of people. |

I'm telling you that I have a friend who has been living in South Korea for many years and she told me "live" that many of them don't pray to any "god" at all.
She told me their are few churches , but even people who go to church believe that Jesus is stupid for dying because of somebody else's sins.
Many of the religious part of them are Buddhist.
The larger percentage of the population do not pray to any "god" or "meditation" shit at all. So what is your point? Pastor Yonggi Cho is from South Korea a Buddist. He wrote this in is book Holy Spirit and was going to die of tuberculosis. He claimed that people get healed someway in South Korea that what we call miracles kia not strange to them.

He healed your daughter of rotten bones but could not save T.B Joshua, Pastor Adeboye's son, the Rev Father who died in a sleep.
You are happy he healed your family but refused to heal many children who die of malaria weekly then you must be very wicked. You are just as wicked as your imaginary "god's" character.
I guess you must be very special. You and your family were made of gold instead of sand(same as you guys always talk it)
By the way, people who have never heard of any god in their lives also experience healings that can't be explained by science yet.
I've got a childhood friend in South Korea. When she last came to Nigeria, she told me about 80% of their population over there do not pray to any god.
She said most of them have probably not even said the word "god" in 20 years.
Yet she told me most of them over there beats cancer, and may other sickness without medical attention, without prayers.
You see, that's why it's good to travel. You can't beat the level of exposure.
You can read about US all your life , but you can't beat the knowledge of someone who stays there and drinks from there. You don't need to travel far these days to interact with happenings in the world. What of if you are the one who is myopic? In oriental countries, all manners of sicknesses are healed by their meditation. People pray to different gods for all manners of things. The only thing is when people want to criticize, they only criticize the Christian God. While gods are many, science is one and globally coordinated. |

jaephoenix: Science has continued to break frontiers unheard of before. Like making people with amputated limbs have some life etc The latest is curing HIV cases. No its not your regular fake church testimony sessions. This is real.
5th person confirmed to be cured of HIV The Dusseldorf patient is latest to be rid of HIV with no signs of return. Referred to as "the Dusseldorf patient" to protect his privacy, researchers said he is the fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure. Although the details of his successful treatment were first announced at a conference in 2019, researchers could not confirm he had been officially cured at that time. Today, researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years ago. "It’s really cure, and not just, you know, long term remission," said Dr. Bjorn-Erik Ole Jensen, who presented details of the case in a new publication in "Nature Medicine."
"This obviously positive symbol makes hope, but there's a lot of work to do," Jensen said
Recent Stories from ABC News For most people, HIV is a lifelong infection, and the virus is never fully eradicated. Thanks to modern medication, people with HIV can live long and healthy lives.
The Dusseldorf patient joins a small group of people who have been cured under extreme circumstances after a stem cell transplant, typically only performed in cancer patients who don’t have any other options. A stem cell transplant is a high-risk procedure that effectively replaces a person's immune system. The primary goal is to cure someone's cancer, but the procedure has also led to an HIV cure in a handful of cases.
With about 38.4 million people globally living with HIV, treatments have come a long way. Modern medication can keep the virus at bay, and studies looking into preventing HIV infection with a vaccine are also underway.
The first person with HIV cure was Timothy Ray Brown. Researchers published his case as the Berlin patient in 2009. That was followed by the London patient published in 2019. Most recently, The City of Hope and New York patients were published in 2022.
“I think we can get a lot of insights from this patient and from these similar cases of HIV cure," Jensen said. "These insights give us some hints where we could go to make the strategy safer."
All four of these patients had undergone stem cell transplants for their blood cancer treatment. Their donors also had the same HIV-resistant mutation that deletes a protein called CCR5, which HIV normally uses to enter the cell. Only 1% of the total population carries this genetic mutation that makes them resistant to HIV.
“When you hear about these HIV cure, it’s obviously, you know, incredible, given how challenging it’s been. But, it still remains the exception to the rule," said Dr. Todd Ellerin, director of infectious disease at South Shore Health.
The stem cell transplantation is a complicated procedure that comes with many risks, and it is too risky to offer it as a cure for everyone with HIV.
However, scientists are hopeful. Each time they cure a new patient, they gain valuable research insights that help them understand what it would take to find a cure for everyone.
“It is obviously a step forward in advancing the science and having us sort of understanding, in some ways, what it takes to cure HIV," Ellerin said.

However, Faith in science and or God is personal. If God fail others, He hasn't failed my. Years back my wife was diagnosed of psoriasis, when we went to internet, they said the chance of getting her skin back was very slim with so much money. We turned to God. He healed her. My daughter had a decaying bone about ten years ago. The doctor that was to conduct operation on her to plant antibiotics in the bones that I refused, is her lecturer today. You have absolute faith in science, beautiful; I have proven God also. Like the other discussion, I still don't see how science has or will replace God or superior to God. The miracles claimed by the church are far more superior to the science's I have experienced and heard and seen some for myself. I have seen legs grow: one shorter than the other before. SS turn AA, conception without womb etc. I think the dedication to science by scientists is more than the adherents of Christianity. Inability to give it what it takes to prove God. I can be sceptical about others testimonies, I can't deny my own. |

MaxInDHouse: OP that's the man's PERSONAL opinion, what of yours?  Of all people preaching the 'gospel' the OP's pastor's theology is weird. His 'special revelations' and his followers are the same. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;2Tim.4.3 |

NNTR: Jesus wasntt discussing symbolism, but He actually was stating a brutal fact about human being births, and thereafter went to mention the two criteria for a human being needed to enter the kingdom of Heaven.
'Born of water' figuratively speaking, is talking of water breaking, and refers to the breaking of the amniotic sac, which surrounds the baby and where the sac, contains amniotic fluid.
When this fluid in pregnant women's wombs, that surrounds a baby, passes and comes out of their bodies, it is indicating that the baby is ready to be born.
So that's exactly what born of water means. Birth. It doesnt mean, as you claim, baptized in water, because of the fact that, the baby in the first place, isnt or wasn't dipped into water
Nicodemus and Jesus are talking of births here. Nicodemus was talking of actual physical birth, while Jesus went beyond and above, to talk of not just only definite physical birth alone but also of actual spiritual birth as well too
Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories. I think something is wrong with you and your theology. |
