Lol. Its apparent you haven't been following my posts. You would have seen where I wrote of being dynamic in reasoning. Since I'm not God, I can only speculate.

johnydon22:
its becoming childish tho... Suddenly you are no longer talking about freewill now you have agreed its predestination.. **Sighs** this is what happens when people dont think with their brains.. SMH..

I think there are lots of proof, why not give them to me?

DProDG:
How ironic, a creationist telling me to 'reason'. Speaking of 'English comprehension', it's funny that you, and apologist, apply modern grammar and linguistics to that of the bible.

johnydon22:
so i take it your god writes a script for you to follow and then punishes u for acting that script.. And the fairy keep getting dumber and dumber everyday.. lol..

Just the way actors get punished in a film and others get rewarded. That makes a lota sense.

DProDG:
I like how rather than explain why Isaiah 40:22 claims the earth is a circle, you simply name a geographical location that has the word 'circle' in it. And no, I wasn't asking, I was TELLING you that your infallible bible got the shape of our planet wrong.

I think you lack simple english comprehension. Circle OF earth OR earth's circle . How does that translate to circular earth? Reason, please reason!!!!!!!!!! You are beginning to infuriate me. Any other?

Kay17:
Finally the old tale of free will is buried.

Little do you known your being atheist, even this post is part of the film, which you must act, just like Jesus turned to Peter, to show him it was impossible he didn't act his part of the film. When asked if he was sure of the score line of WC final, Ilan Smith smiled and replied, If it weren't correct, I won't be here. Let's enjoy the season film, it all will soon end. Romans 9.

Okay

DProDG:

You mean arctic circle doesn't belong to earth? Do you have any other question ?

DProDG:
Hehe, cute...
Let's start with Isaiah 40:22 -
"It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in".

Arctic Circle. Please give me something intelligent.

That is what the gay nation wants us to turn to, SMH.

DProDG:
So I take 2 things from that...
1. You believe the bible is infallible
2. You discredit anything that contradicts the bible.

So, since the bible does not directly tell the age of the earth, you do not believe we will ever know it?

Also, do you also think the earth is flat? If no then you're contradicting your bible.

Where did Bible say earth is flat? I will educate you today.

What pride is there to protect in failure and agony? All way na way. If Chad can exterminate them, so be it.

OK

Weah96:
Thank you. That's why I don't bash Gatiano for pasting his afrocentric mythology here.

Holding their foreign religions as the truth has a subliminal effect on the consciousness of Africans. When I was a believer, Jesus was a white man in my head. I was offering prayers to an imaginary white man.

It actually shows the quality of your brain. Jesus was born in the middle east, prophesied of and foreseen by the prophets. He came as a Man, to act a part planned and ordained as of old. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. Though he was not a man, he became man and died for us. You see people visiting statues, because they want to bring their imagination into reality, but God forbids it, all HE needs is Faith.

DProDG:
Is the bible your sole source of knowledge?

No, but any other source not confirmed by Bible is a big fallacy.

johnydon22:
lmao... That is the mesopotamian myth from whence the noah fable was copied.. So you mean authentic by copying other myths? hahahahaha .

I enjoy mythology, so enjoy it too and see noah was just a mythical character

I just couldn't read that trash again. Apart from the similarly in flood, they have virtually nothing, I mean nothing in common. Are you telling me that since you've been reading myth, they don't have a type of pattern? Where did God promise Noah immortality? Instead, the Holy Bible listed generations to Noah, then the flood warning us in this Generation that the wrath of God is coming second time. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, ◄ Matthew 24:38 ► They saw him as deranged, even constructed the ark with him but never believed. Believe now, I tell you, tomorrow may be too late.

johnydon22:
Nope i am not worrying my head over it, my problem is with people like you that will justify such evil, barbaric serial killing to protect their conviction..its pure shiit..

To you its righteous then dont ever condemn isis or bokoharam because to them its righteous.. anyway here is the source of noah myth.. Gilgemesh flood myth http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_flood_myth

So there is an external confirmation . I always knew Bible is authentic! Goes out to buy popcorn and enjoy reading .

How old is the earth if I may ask and is a bat a "fowl"?

Age of earth was not given in Bible.

davien:
How old is the earth if I may ask and is a bat a "fowl"?

The KJV was written in old English, give me what was used in the original manuscript.

johnydon22:
same thing, so you find it good to kill everything on earth just to serve as a silly warning? and this sounds right to you? #Seriously

Since it never happened, stop worrying your head. You are not the judge of sin. To you its evil, to me it is righteous.

Pr0ton:
Hadn't he been giving admonition? So the best he thought was to eliminate man, innocent and guilty, with a global flood. And yet he failed once again to accomplish his goal. Doesn't make sense for an omniscient God. But works well for myths.

If you know it never happened, why worry your little head? Doesn't it look like a well constructed story? Read and enjoy

ifeness:
Beaten by my dad? That would have been an abuse. I was corrected but not beaten.

The purpose is what differentiates abuse from correction.

DProDG:
Let the atheist decipher your bible for you. . .
Genesis 6:13 clearly states God's intention for the the flood, to "put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence".
Admonition? He couldn't have come up with a better idea? How will you then insist he's omni-scient or omni-benevolent? How do you teach people you've murdered to be obedient? According to the same bible, Noah was righteous so he didn't need the lesson himself.

And really you want me to tell you why I eat!? I eat because I'm hungry, because I require food to survive. If you wanted to discuss why I'm not a vegan, no wahala but asking why I eat plants just sounds ******. Valuing life doesn't mean I'll starve to death WTF! It means I'm not gonna murder(plant or animal). Answering this question just made me feel stup1d myself.

BTW, you should be asking Yahweh if he values life and not me.

How well do you think animals (plants not included) value themselves? It is very dumb of you and actually very disappointing that you think Noah learnt no lessons. It is actually very silly of you to think God is accountable to you. To know how little bill gates is, search for him from the moon. If gates die tomorrow, not a stone will move. Like I told an atheist like you, Job challenged God, but never judged Him. Nothing I write will make you understand, wait patiently for the FILMMAKER, HE will soon come to tell you why HE put the scene there.

#Teambuhari

johnydon22:
Admonition? so he would wipe out every creature on earth just to make some silly points? #Nawa ooo

Maybe you will understand it if I use 'warning'.

DProDG:
Okay, so according to you, he did it for admonition while Gen 6:13 (NIV) says...
"So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth"

Your bible is wrong, you're right.


Are you serious-____-

What does that mean?
Yes, I'm serious. You feed on life, yet you claim to value it.

DProDG:
Same way he took thousands of species of animals(including mosquitoes) on the ark. Unless you think animals>children.

Yes, he took humans with them too. If not, you can never exist.

johnydon22:
wasn't even talking about noah, According to the noah mythology, yahweh caused the flood didnt the little children matter? what type of monster would murder all the children alongside every other person to clear the world of evil. Was evil eradicated after the flood? nope! So what exactly was the purpose of the flood when it didnt even eradicate evil. . this is exactly pr0ton's reason for opening this thread. for someone claiming omnipotent is a pretty stupid move..

admonition

DProDG:
While I don't know much about Singapore, let's evaluate and make a comparison with the OP. . .

First of all, I'm aware of some of their ridiculous laws such as the ban on chewing-gum but I do not see how laws like that and similar contributed significantly to any type of development. What I can say is that they has great policies. Even if such laws did, such development is not exclusive to Singapore. In other words, the 'iron fist' is not required.

Why would you assume Yahweh had/has to be strict(genocidal) for humanity to develop? How does wiping out 99.9% of the human race equate to Lee Kuan Yew's legacy? Even at that, as the OP said, his plan to rid evil did not work and being omni-scient, he knew it won't all along and decided to go along with it. . .

Like I said, it is for the purpose of admonition, just the way God did not spare Moses that the Israelites should know how much hates disobedience. If you actually value life that much, why do you feed on plants and animals?

johnydon22:
what? they would have turned bad like their parents, says who?
seriously i find it hard to discuss this cus it sickens me when people try to justify such barbaric act.. Aborting baby is all over the world and it is evil, i can never abort my child.. same goes to murdering all the children of the world in a horrifying death such as drowning. . . please this discussion just pulled me out of my good mood. #Call a spade a spade.. evil is evil.. #Simple.

Let me pretend the act is evil, how was Noah supposed to take the kids into the ark?

johnydon22:
So the millions of children that might have been drowned in the noah fable are not good enough? Is the alleged good noah better than those little ones that were subjected to such cruel death? How can only one man be moral in the entire world and you believed this.. ??

If God left them alone, won't they sin like their fathers and go to hell? But God in His infinite mercies took them to His eternal abode. Today, 4500-6000 babies are aborted in America daily. http://www.timeforchrist.org/ministry/abortion/

DProDG:
You should come up with better examples then. SA has one of the worst human rights violations records. Their laws are sharia(although they insist they're not). Do you consider Islamic theocracy more progressive than secularism?

Another country that comes to mind is Singapore, who Lee Kwan Yew led with iron hands, has one of the highest execution rates in the world. When criticized on his dictatorship behavior (criminalized chewing gum), he said Singapore would not be what it is today if it practiced the so called 'freedom'. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Kuan_Yew
