There's Literally NO post flow to be followed

None of the previous posts related to that were hidden.
The anonymous question that he asked is still viewable, the post replying it is still there which is the first link I gave, the post Butter used to reply the person is still right there

If one or more of them were hidden then I understand some evidence can no longer be seen but no, all are still right there

Anyways, that's not my circus and those aren't my monkeys
I think you are right, the related post is not hidden
I have just seen it, it spawned off MisterGrace - AnonyNymous: "Define Unnatural" post

Anyway, reiterating, you and I know, that OP being called an atheist, now confirmed called an atheist by the way, is a red herring
It's more than that, and we both know why OP feels, however subtle it maybe, the insinuation had to be thwarted

All I LITERALLY said was "Define Unnatural".

https://www.nairaland.com/4456977/theresa-may-calls-same-sex-marriages/2#66785559

That's where someone replied Anonymous

Butter quoted the person's post here starting with the statement "He's an atheist"

https://www.nairaland.com/4456977/theresa-may-calls-same-sex-marriages/2#66785816


Now its possible its a mistake on Butter's part to which he would've simply said "I made a mistake, I wasn't referring to you"
OR "I never knew you were an atheist" but he went on denying and even posted screenshots and coped and pasted the Convo like it changes what's there. Why double down at all?
Butterflyleo in the "He's an atheist" post wasnt referred to nor directed at Anonynynous

You ought to follow the post flow
but unfortunately you wont be able to because whatever evidences that maybe, are hidden away

Anonynynous, merely just got caught in a crossfire

Well, if Anonynynous said someone is a Christian and the person says " I'm not a Christian " then the sensible thing for Anonynynous so do is to admit his error in assumption rather than go round claiming not to have said what he said and posting screenshots while claiming to be referring to someone else.
We all make guesses and when such are proven wrong we stand corrected especially when the evidence of our being wrong is objective to any thinking person
C'mon now hopefulLandlord
You and I know, that OP called an atheist, allegedly called an atheist by the way, is a red herring
It's more than that, and we both know this is why OP feels, however subtle the insinuation was, it had to be thwarted
Most of the evidence on that thread have gone, sentenced to the never come back black hole of NL
I have before too, taken identical stands on similar subjects like OP's and have been called same, if not worse

For the record, there is no empirical evidence to support Butterflyleo callling Anonynynous an atheist
If there exist, please provide it,
if not then let's all just put our feets up and relax

AnonyNymous:
First of all, I don't have that big an ego to not be able to admit when I'm wrong.
I understand that Christian humanists exist, and if I wrongly branded you a Christian I'd apologise for my error.

First of all, I've corrected Mr Butterfly MANY times on here, he KNOWS that I'm not an atheist
but he did what he did because he's a mischievous character and has zero Christ in him.

Apart from that, he's not the sole reason I opened this thread.
I opened this thread as a response to the hostility I faced for two words, 'define unnatural'.
Some of the responses I got are too graphic to even begin to describe, and their posts have been collapsed.
I got so many of them, and I came to express my irritation at the HYPOCRISY of people who claim to be like Christ.
You need to grow a thick skin mayne

@Anonynynous, There's a misconception that is prevalent here.
Once anyone argues against Christianity in any form such a person is quickly branded "atheist".
Menxer got frustrated with the constant slapping of the atheist tag on him by Christians and his case is not an isolated one

However I find it bizarre the kinda denial in that post you're referring to as its obvious to anyone with a thinking brain that he's referring to you as an atheist.

Its common sense really, If someone quotes this post and another person quotes the person to say " Don't mind him, he's a Christian that's why he's talking like that" its pretty obvious such a person is referring to me. there's absolutely no need for the mental gymnastics of saying he is referring to "someone else" I mean I understand dishonesty but that's plain old lying when evidence is right there for everyone to see!
Rather than say "I thought you were an atheist" or "Okay, I got that wrong" which is understandable, what's the point of going to the thread to post screenshots? is it a case of abysmal level of intelligence or such person is too blind to see the evidence shows he was referring to you?
This is childish level of lying and its good Muttley.laff finally stepped in when the dishonesty is getting too much for him to bear rather than go with the flow like Emmany.stone would've
frank317:
Many chriatians are just angry people... butterylion is one of such. All they do is project their anger on atheists. In their mind they want to see u suffer for not believing in their God.
Imagine a Christian lady whom i was doing quite better than in life asking me if where i was in life(as per wealth) was where i was supposed to be just becauae i told her i dont pray.
They cannot be happy to see that things are going well with u.
And u can see their anger in every statement they make, it is there in every word.
And so when u challenge anything they believe they quickly let their fruatration out. How ever, to conveniently insult u, they tell themselves they are doing it for god and also tell themselves that u insulted them(just because u are in total disagreement)

This is why they go all over the place saying atheists are insultive. But all my times in this forum i only see Christians forcing atheists to insult.
Felixomore used to do this, if he argues with u and cannot provide answers to ur question he will start calling out ur family, same with emmany who will immediatly take it personal and start wiahing u death. Butter's new tactics is to ask me fooliah question about my wife whenever i question his believe as if he knows anything about her.
The bad news is they still think they are doing the right thing just because are defending God
Thats why our society is going down.. segregation, hatred, killing, insults all in name of a God no one has ever seen.
The mind game u see here on nairaland is the battle field we face out there in the real world.
There's a two-way misconception that is prevalent here about cases of mistaken identites
Anyone that believes in the bible in any form positive, such a person is quickly branded "christian".

For a case in point, if I get a dollar for everytime I get called a christian, I'll by now, be richer than King Solomon or Jeff Bezos
Anonynynous slapped this label on many here too

Reiterating, Anonynynous just wanted to have a rant
and so made a fuss about a mis-name tag that's nothing really important

Sometimes I just wish that I could fast forward time, just to see if it's all worth it in the end

OP just needs to shake off the victim mentality and stop stirring...

AnonyNymous:
And Nairaland is a cross section of Nigeria, so its safe to assume that a sizeable portion of so called Christian Nigerians have so much hatred in their hearts.
I used to be extremely active on this section but I had to leave.
I couldn't stand the name calling, the petty insults masked as 'arguments', the intellectual dishonesty, and so on.
Of all the people I've encountered here, only ONE has behaved 'Christ-like' in a manner
that I was truly able to enjoy discussing with him and understand his point of view, clearly.
I'd like to mention his username but I wouldn't do so to protect his privacy
as I don't think he's active here anymore either.
To be honest, I was losing grip of logic
and felt encouraged to meet him in a church someday (maybe I will grin )
Of course, the Christian Bible (especially the old testament) is so full of violence and savagery that you wouldn't expect much from its followers- but then they claim to magically have all of that washed away by Jesus, who is supposed to be their new role model. And Jesus was a complete pacifist- nearly to the point of stupidity through the eyes of a typical person. But the so called Christians on Nairaland think that by insulting people, sometimes even making unwarranted, crude remarks about their family members, including lies to win arguments or present their position, is supposed to 'win souls' for thus same Christ.

I have met Christian humanists on reddit, YouTube comments, and some other social sites. Atheists who believe in the moral code of Jesus as a person but just don't believe in God. Honestly, if you compare their attitude to these so called "Christians", you'd wonder why these ones get to have an 'eternal bliss' in heaven while those that did everything the Bible said to do (except believe in God, lol) are going to burn in hell for all eternity. These Christians on Nairaland make the whole God thing look less believable.

I've also noticed that most Christian topics seem to be centred on atheism. One of them claimed that that's because their Christian topics get invaded. But that's a big lie. If you notice the trend here, the harmless topics get ignored- but the ones where people can come and 'flex muscles' and prove their mastery of English insults always end up with the highest number of pages. I wonder if it makes their god, or Jesus happy. You know, to condemn others on the internet. LOL.

Why am I ranting? Well on the thread about Theresa May advocating for same sex marriage, I made a simple comment, asking someone for his own definition of natural- since homosexuality is observable in over 1500 other animal species (nature).

I was suddenly hounded by barrages of insults from Christians. I wonder if their god would be proud of them for doing so. If that would win them extra points on their heaven scoresheet.

What particularly made me mad is a long time Nairalander, who KNOWS I'm not an atheist- going to everyone who quoted me with insults and egging them on, while telling them I'm an atheist and a closeted gay guy. I was just baffled at how far these guys are willing to go. It almost seems as if their 'evangelism' on here has nothing to do with the book they claim to believe in but just to massage their ego. To prove that they are

-smart
-capable of winning arguments
-can use logic

But they all FAIL at these three, and horribly so. I'm pretty convinced that they aren't working to 'promote Christ' because they are polar opposites of the character in question.

For anyone who cares to know, I've always been of the strong belief that this physical (3 dimensional) world isn't all there is to existence, and I never ruled out the possibility of some form of a god/God, though I'm pretty convinced it isn't interested in our affairs- unless we ourselves are the gods we seek (pantheism) which makes more sense. Long story. I could talk about that in another thread.


Why else am I ranting? Being a good person gives you the highest statistical probability of a decent afterlife. (See below). Some people need religion to be good people and that's understandable. I just wanted to appeal to Christians on here to have a change of behaviour and see the quality of their discussions improve. Maybe you might even 'win a few souls' here and there. Enough of the hypocrisy.

Of course, insults are welcome.

Gggg102:
why did the universe not continue to act randomly since the beginning of the universe was chaotic?

why did planets form and cool after the big bang and started acting orderly since the big bang was chaotic?

since order could just happen after the chaos of the big bang, order can also just happen after the chaos that caused the big bang.
Butterflyleo:
This is the point you fail to see.

Take a mindless round rubber ball and put it inside a container and start shaking it around in the container.
As long as your chaotic shaking continues it will never stop bouncing around mindlessly.
Only you can CAUSE it to stop by a deliberate conscious intelligent act of stopping the container from shaking about.

Mindlessness will continue being mindless. It cannot change its mindlessness, it cannot derive order, it cannot have a meaning.
The only one who can give it meaning is an intelligence such as you who is in control of the shaking of the container.

Create a rhythm with the shaking and the ball will also develop a rhythm, remove your deliberate rhythm and its mindlessness resumes.

True or false?
True point

Volition

darkchild64:
since you want it this way alright
Its alright this way, because that's how OP wants it.

I however have noticed, from reading all your comments, so far on this thread
that OP in removing the
"how" complexities, so as to be intellectually undemanding
has cleverly managed to challenge you to try and think about
:
Could anything actually exist in the universe, some powerful thing, becoming visible after being concealed, as science understands it,
that is, worthy of being called "God"?

darkchild64:
tell us exactly how "God" created the universe
[img]https://s1/images/HistoryUniverse.jpg[/img]
I am sorry I cant, in toto, tell you exactly how "God" created the universe.
Reiterating, conventional wisdom, plus science, as seen in above pic,
however each give a simplified understanding of everything that happened 1 second after the Big Bang

darkchild64:
I am not satisfied with your answer, tell us the method(s) he used
You not being satisfied with an answer is not an epiphany
Even astronomers, are at sea, because all the stars, planets and galaxies that can be seen today, make up just 4% of the universe,
whilst the rest 96% of the universe, is made of mysterious and invisible matter.

These mysterious substances are called dark energy and dark matter

Dark matter, which makes up 22% of the universe, is a material that has yet to be detected in the laboratory
Dark energy is a gravitationally repulsive entity. Its existence is confirmed and determined to fill 74% of the universe.

darkchild64:
stop bringing the Bill Gates comparison because the methods and steps he took in creating the software is known,
his source of knowledge is also known
Bill Gates and Microsoft products are within almost every one's reach and/or the average IT-savvy Joe Public can easily relate to it

darkchild64:
so tell us more about how "God" used this thing you call "knowledge" to create the universe
"God" is the Intelligent Designer and Programmer with aspiration(s)
like Bill Gates is an intelligent designer and programmer with aspiration(s)
so "God", just as Bill Gates, does with building Microsoft computer software, used the "knowledge" of object-oriented programming, to create the universe

darkchild64:
and the "method" he used
The "method" He used?
The "method" He used, purely supernatural, well, is out of this world

Dumbing-down, it's among other things, a combination of writing Functions and Methods.

Function or a method, as a matter of fact, is a named callable piece of code, used to accomplish a specific task
and so therefore, when called, executes instructions on data "taken in", process it, and optionally return a value or result.
Christianity Etc › Re: Proof Of God. Scientifically Derived. by MuttleyLaff:
darkchild64:
that is not what I said,
all I asked you to do was to tell us how "God" created the universe,
when science comes up with any conclusion it must have methods to arrive at that
you want to prove that "God" exists using science, and I am offering you the opportunity to be scientific
HOW DID GOD CREATE THE UNIVERSE?
"God" is not just as scientific as the next scientist but is more

How many times do you want it repeated that God created the universe
not much different to how, Bill Gates, created the world's largest software business, Microsoft, using a combination of knowledge and method(s)?

darkchild64:
I am not asking you of the name of the "God"
Good, we can have a sigh of relief

p.s quit the cursing already

Where, how and when is the cursing in the above question asked?
It isnt amusing crying wolf when none's in sight.

I thought you were a Christian and the bible says that calling someone bad names would take you to hell, abi you no dy fear hell again
Playing the accusation card

just to know if we are on the same page who is this "God" you are referring to,
because if by chance it is Yahweh then you are wrong, the Bible stated how he created the world
Abide by OP's rule and piece of advice to stick to "God"

darkchild64:
could it be that Christians now entertain the idea that Yahweh may not be the one true "God",
congrats you guys are now upgrading small small,
for a Christian to say that
"no one knows how "God" created the universe"
it means there is a lot going on
SMH. You must that desperate to, in an open and unashamed manner twist:
"No one can describe beyond conventional wisdom how "God" created the universe"
into
"no one knows how "God" created the universe"

okay fine,
butterflyleo says that science supports his claim that "God" (name witheld for unknown reasons) created the universe

happy now ??
Work with the filler, "God", for now

Even God's favourite response(s), when asked is:
"Why is it that you ask my name?"

The name by the way, is withheld for known reasons

just to be sure of what you mean,
you are saying that noone can know the exact way "God" to created the universe,
however it is a combination of knowledge and method just like how Bill Gates created the Microsoft software?
Exactamundo.
No one can describe beyond conventional wisdom how "God" created the universe

well I guess that is what your guilty conscience is telling you but I will let you off the hook,
I will play by your rules, I will only mention "God" and not Yahweh or Allah
smiley

darkchild64:
now first off,
since you claim "God" created the universe,
you mind telling us how and how long he did it?,
backing that up with a few evidences would help
Butterflyleo:
Sorry but this thread is not about HOW
but a simple analytical presentation using science on how the argument from causality and motion and gravity support intelligent, deliberate, purposeful origins unlike the chaotic origins being touted by science.
smiley cheesy

darkchild64:
can you describe how "God" created the universe?
if you can, go ahead,
if not, admit so,
I am not going with this rubbish excuses
No one can describe beyond conventional wisdom how "God" created the universe

Nevertheless, God created the universe
just like how, Bill Gates, created the world's largest software business, Microsoft, using a combination of knowledge and method

Butterflyleo:
I can
but choose not to because that is not the purpose of the OP
so you can stop trying to derail

Christianity Etc › Re: John 3 Vs 16 Says Bible Is A Complete Hoax by MuttleyLaff:
Ubenedictus:
you guys were all on the thread
... and what exactly do you recall, see me doing or read me saying on the thread?
You need to go over the less than six pages thread but this time carefully read it

Ubenedictus:
I shorten the 3 usernames, I am surprised you think I was referring to you in code in connivance with pastoraio, that is pretty surprising... are you Almighty God that I have to talk about in fear? I just don't get it.

I made a post in a thread where you guys are active and you think I was hiding it from you, aio responded without crying wolf about his username but you guys hold yourselves in such regard that to you a shorten username a a sign of ..... I just don't get it
Are you sure I really was that active on that thread?
Who exactly was I active with on that thread?

Ubenedictus:
this is a post you made on that thread among others
that made me wonder if your theology has a room for human failure
among members of the body of Christ
Well to begin with, I didnt post that nor is that post mine to claim authorship of

The only loggerheads, I had on that thread was a subtle one I had with Geist
and the odd one or two other loggerheads I werent directed at any particular moniker
but were aimed on certain dogmas and bigotries

I've previously shared this incident, to allay your misconception about what you erroneously think I advocate,
(i.e. when you lumbered me with PastorAIO and Emmanystone on the "Des Pensees" thread)
but I am repeating the story here, since you still wonder, if my theology has a room for human failure, I prefer human shortcoming,

At least over 15 years ago, we were having a relaxed and easy-going chat at the home of the pastor where we used to fellowship.
The chit chat drifted to him narrating a situation involving him and some other parties over an issue
During the course of the conversation, the pastor friend threw in, like as in a matter of fact and case of frankness, saying that:
"you know, I just said it because you know, I can't lie..."

We left and upon getting back home, whilst in the bedroom, reliving the day's event, I asked my other half, and said:
Hang on, what was he trying to say?.
Is he trying to imply he doesnt lie?.
He doesnt ever lie?


My other half, smiled and then laughed, kikiki ki.

Ubenedictus:
you wrote:

Yes, the best thing to do will be to leave the place because they do not represent Christ there.
But, leaving a place like that, doesn't mean you should leave Christ,
because, none of those men are you model, Christ is.
And, as long as you didn't see any of their trait in Christ, you follow He who called you to everladting life.
That's why we have a Bible.
You don't throw in the Towel and say, 'Christianity is a Farce', because Men have become senseless.


there you and aio seemed to advocate leaving a congregation if sin if found there as if it was supposed to b perfect
Are you sure you correctly attributed this to me?
OK, I'll take it, maybe you were too hasty, being quick to make rash conclusions, and so now owe me an apology.

Ubenedictus:
later you wrote:

Anything less than practising pure and faultless religion that God approves of, is not true and so thereby is false religion
This is so true, isnt it?

Compassion, empathy, consideration for others, is pointless,
except, you extend it, to someone or somebody, you dont understand
and equally extend it to someone or somebody, you do understand
Anything less, God doesnt approves of and so becomes false religion.

Ubenedictus:
again the perfection of Christian living just without it flaws in human nature.

I responded cautiously saying I may b wrong about expounding your views...
aio certainly felt that wasn't his view,
you on the other hand thinks I was gossiping about you in code.
this is my post in question
The following below important points are part of what you left out from all I posted:

#1 Inarguably, the word "religion" has changed its methods and meaning from what it originally was connected with
#2 Religion that is pure and faultless, is about not how regular one prays, is not about regular congregated attendance,
#3 Religion that is pure and faultless, is not about wearing hijab or burka
#4 Jesus mentioned a priest & levite (i.e. "church" worker) known to have slipped up on what pure and faultless religion is

The #4 one, on how a priest & levite slipped up, is most profound, of all the four points made.

The bible, on compassion, records at least twenty times:
about Jesus moved with compassion and/or had compassion,
the Samaritan had compassion,
believers making a difference from having compassion

Ubenedictus:
I may be wrong
but I see aio and emmany and mutty speak of religion in its purest idealistic form
and anathemize anything that fall under and below
Without quoting me out of context, please reproduce the quote where I anathemized

Ubenedictus:
and I am almost tempted to ask if any of you guys live out the religion you profess...
I understand what you regard or consider religion is
but I dont share that regard

Ubenedictus:
in my personal experience and in the experience of those around me it isn't perfect,
we fall under often, in fact Catholics make a point of describing Christian life as the personal workspace of the HOLY spirit
who constantly re-converts us, remake us and remold us....

in fact the awareness that I am living in Grace isn't the most interesting thing in my Christian life,
it is instead that act of falling down on my kneels
as God exposes parts of my life and attitudes, behavior and thoughts I have falsely built and leads me to a new path....
that is for me one of the best effects of grace.
living below what is perfect has not made me a lesser Christian,
it has led me forward it is part of what is genuinely Christian, the Christian is not a perfect product,
in my experience he is God's work in progress
26Then God said,
“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky
and over the cattle and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.
31God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day

- Genesis 1:26-27, 31

As you'll accept, Genesis 1:26-27, 31 is very useful and informative about all you wrote about here
but Genesis 1:27 is where the fascinating eye-opener is
Genesis 1:27 is where its confirmed, we are made in the image of God
but the likeness part of the deal is left out.
Why? It's because, it is a continuing, man, still a work in progress, every day ongoing thing

As one other man aptly put it:
Nearness to God brings likeness to God.
The more you see God, the more of God will be seen in you

Anyway, as I said in my original post, and repeated all over again, up above,
inarguably, the word "religion" has changed its methods and meaning, from what it originally was connected with

Ubenedictus:
I don't agree with you guys that a Christian doesn't steal, cheat, fornicate or commit sin,
cos he does, his benefit is simply the remaking, renewing and converting power of the HOLY spirit.

I have never seen the Christian Church as a gathering of the perfect, that is Calvinist,
for me it is a hospital for sinners, constantly healing and been healed....

I don't agree with this idea of perfection you guys seem to advocate
You had no reason to put me in this your group of "you guys" you dont agree with

Emmanystone:
For you to quote this and mention me means you believe what he said right?

So you believe a Jewish Rabbi will tell a Gentile that the Nation of Israel was never captives in Egypt at point in time,
and there was never a Red Sea Crossing?
The 40yrs wandering in the Wilderness never happened.
You believe a Moses never lived as a human?
Meaning there was no Wars which led to the Conquest of Canaan
?

Are you this desperate? angry
Not only desperate but more

PastorAIO:
I have no reason to disbelief the man.
Plus, his rabbi friend is not the only rabbi that will affirm that.

Not only will rabbis say it never happened but historians too will agree with them. Especially the top Jewish historians.

The Egyptians would were meticulous record keepers never made a single mention of the event either
Swot up on the Egyptian sage named Ipuwer

PastorAIO:
The Jews were Canaanites who overthrew their ruling class and created an anarchist society.
Out of this a new religion slowly emerged out of the old religions of the canaanites.
But it was a long and protracted process.
This post is so fubar
I expect this coming from a dissembler
and so not surprised at the bunglings, misinformation or having the Jews mixed up with the Hyksos

Ubenedictus:
I didn't call u in code, your username is fairly confusing I chose to shorten it.
I'll now go ahead tell an incident, to allay your misconception about what you seem to think I advocate, when you lumbered me with PastorAIO and Emmanystone on the "Des Pensees" thread

At least over 15 years ago, we were having a relaxed and easy-going chat at the home of the pastor where we used to fellowship.
The chit chat drifted to him narrating a situation involving him and some other parties over an issue
During the course of the conversation, the pastor friend threw in, like as in a matter of fact and case of frankness, that:
"you know, I just said it because you know, I can't lie..."

We left and upon getting back home, whilst in the bedroom, reliving the day's event, I asked my other half, and said:
Hang on, what was he trying to say?. Is he trying to imply he doesnt lie?. He doesnt ever lie?

My other half, smiled and then laughed, kikiki ki.

PS:Just that you know,
Though already fascinated by his action in 2013, on the day before Good Friday
but I am beginning to warm more to Jorge Mario Bergoglio because of what Eugenio Scalfari revealed, he in private, told him about hell.

VBCampaign:
Nigerians and Our Inability to Listen

by Deji Yesufu

I teach Bible Study at church every Sunday and therefore I should be at the preparatory class that is held at church on Thursday evenings. I must say that since joining this group, my understanding of Christian fellowship has blossomed. I wish to state here that those who kick against going to church, in their campaign against pastors and churches, are doing their souls great evil. There is a blessing when Christians sit and discuss, especially when such discussions centre on the Bible.

The Bible Study preparatory class is for two hours. Our coordinator ensures that at most 90 minutes of that time is dedicated to discussions, debates and questions on the text. Everyone is at liberty to speak. We have people in their 80s and we have young students in their early 20s. It is such a blessing.

We have been studying the book of Exodus at church Bible Study. We had looked at Exodus 25, where God began to speak to Moses in a lengthy discuss that will not end until chapter 31. A brother then pointed us to the fact of Moses listening throughout as God reeled out instructions on the building of the Tabernacle in the wilderness and other issues. He then asked: have we ever wondered at how difficult it is to listen? He said that it is easier to talk than to listen to others.

Then another brother made a point. He said that during his trip to South Africa he discovered that about the first lessons Nigerians learn is the ability to listen. He said that usually when you see a loud and boisterous fellow in public, that person is very likely a Nigerian and it is possible he just arrived. He said with time, Nigerians realize that they are not as smart as they think. That the people who are not talking, have chosen not to talk, not for want of what to say but because they have learnt to listen to others.

For a person like me that is naturally sanguine in nature, that was very instructive.

There is a blessing in listening to others. At the close of the day, one learns a great deal listening than rattling off all that one knows. And if one were to speak, the wisdom gathered by listening to others will inform the wisdom in the words that one will finally speak with.

So, listen...

FOLYKAZE:
Oh please can you help us with the numbers of people Satan killed
10You have always protected him and his family and everything he owns.
You bless everything he does, and you have given him enough cattle to fill the whole country.
11But now suppose you take away everything he has—he will curse you to your face!”
12 “All right,” the Lord said to Satan,
“everything he has is in your power, but you must not hurt Job himself.”
So Satan left.

- Job 1:10-12

Modestly, seven sons, three daughters and a number of other people in the household, which possibly are at least 50 servants

FOLYKAZE:
The red colored statement of yours further shows that the act of killing wasn't done by Satan but Yahweh.
That, who order killing is also a murderer.
...he was a murderer from the beginning,
refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native language,
because he is a liar
and the father of lies.

- John 8:44

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw a boomerang
Make a wild guess, who from above, in print, is called a murderer, a murderer from the beginning?
Read 1 John 3:8 below, the situation problem, the works of this murderer, is what God came to put an end to

FOLYKAZE:
And please stop making things up.
You need to show how Satan steals, how he killed, how he destroyed.
The one who practices sin is of the devil,
because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil.

- 1 John 3:8

I dont have a need to make things up
The Devil, aka Satan's track record, is doing a "good" job at speaking on Satan's behalf
Right from the beginning, Satan has been at it

FOLYKAZE:
You are actually depicting your God as a blood thirsty beast who derived joy in the killing unborn children
and little innocent adolescent who does not understand the law, concept of sin and general way of life.

Maybe it is a judgement to you, when the blood thirsty God ordered his foot soldiers to smash babies head on a rock,
and remove foetus with a sword.

And I ask, what are the sins of children which cause of their death is God?

That is not moral standard. It is judgement huh?

What is God judging a day old baby for?
What are the sins of baby that died?
When you go find out you what Olodumare really and properly means, you'll have the answer to your "What" queries

FOLYKAZE:
If I were to define Judgment, I would say it is a way of making a decision.
However, this decision can either be just or unjust.
When the decision of God is unjust, it practically mean he is evil and the he is the devil
Mr Moralising FOLYKAZE, make no mistake about it.
God is Good, God is ever Just
God's decisions are not only Just but in addition, are always sensible.

FOLYKAZE:
This makes me remember a story from John 9.
It is a story about a boy that was born without an eye.
From the day he was born, till he met Jesus, this boy cannot sight anything.
And when Jesus was asked, what exactly the sin of the young man is. He answered in John 9:3
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Neither the boy or his parents has sinned. So why the hell did God makes him suffer and lost in total darkness?
Ya, it is judgement, according to you.
So I asked my dear. what is the sin, basis and reason why God make this boy blind?
Jesus answered it....He wants to glorify Himself with the suffering, pains, agony and anguish of been in darkness since birth.

That God of yours dude is a sadist.
He enjoys making people suffer for no just cause.
And you were mentioning judgement when there is no justice, uprightness and fairness.
There is no wrongdoing, what is your God judging?
A response like this vindicates me, when I said your explanation of Olodumare is wack

FOLYKAZE:
Oh! God's gift is very unpleasant when one divorce his wife.
Maybe God doesn't know the right partner for a supposed husband.

The selection of gifts from God, especially in a case of raping, fornication and adulery explains that your God has a bad choices.
Many' unwanted' children have been given birth to from inactions of their parents which could be rape, fornication and adultery.
Would you regard these kids as gift from God?
If yes, God bless the sinners. grin
Law against sin has been invalidated

Hosea 2:4 "Upon her children I have no pity, because they are children of whoredom"

Deuteronomy 23:2 "those born of an illicit union shall not be admitted to the assembly of the LORD.
Even to the tenth generation, none of their descendants shall be admitted to the assembly of the LORD."

And the Holy Lord BLESSED illicit union of two grown up adults with a child.
This child, according to you, is a GIFT from God. It doesn't matter if he is a product of rape, adultery or fornication, the child is a GIFT. But the God turns around to reject and throw out this precious GIFT of his from his fold. This God must be crazy
Keep on enjoying your strawman
Keep it to yourself, as I am not interested in it

FOLYKAZE:
A woman is a subject of a man just like a man is a subject to God.
At least that is how the bible made us understand.
As the case may be, a Christian that supports killing of mankind by a God should be able to support raping of a wife by husband.
Afterall, we are God own property just like my wife is my property.

CuteMadridista:
Christians would say
Yahweh created everything

just playing the devil's, oopss, advocate here
No truer words than this.
However putting is appropriately,
it is called judgment


This prerogative, is for God only.

FOLYKAZE:
He is right.
Can you help us list the numbers of people killed directly and indirectly by Yahweh
Satan kills, contrary to what you think.
If you doubt, I can list you a modest number of people killed directly and indirectly by Satan

FOLYKAZE:
For the record,
Satan didn't kill anyone in the bible
Of course Satan killed in the bible
Satan did then and still does to date,
albeit, must be said that, not without God allowing Satan to

Whatever, Satan can't steal, Satan will kill
and if Satan can't kill, Satan will opt to destroy.

FOLYKAZE:
If killing is evil, base on our moral standard, Yahweh is the devil
This says it all, by the way,
we are not basing it on our own moral standard,
besides what you call killing,
again repeating, is actually judgement

FOLYKAZE:
That attempt is very poor.

So parents havs rights to kill their children because they bore them?

A man has right to rape a woman because he has paid her bride prize?
Children are a gift from the LORD;
they are a reward from Him.

- Psalms 127:3

Giving birth, doesn't relinquish who, really had, and has rights, over the kids.

The parents are custodians,
given the responsibility of taking care of
and protecting their child(ren).

They are still answerable to God,
and will give account and explanations to God,
how they fared, as regards, being trusted with the kids.

We've heard it said, a man who finds a wife,
finds good, and obtains favour from God

So what's with all this remark, about right to kill a child because of giving birth to them and/or right to rape a woman because you paid dowry?

You are doing a telling sign of strawman with your those parents' and man's rights.

Christianity Etc › Re: The Middle Path by MuttleyLaff: 7:57am On Mar 19, 2018
Sarassin:
I wrote once that I have had to obtain knowledge and learning at times through extreme measures. Once I found myself asking a magickal adept a pointed question, “what is the secret of creation?” and "what are the governing principles of the universe?” the reply was emphatic as it was unforgettable, “I had to learn” my reply was that I had learned everything that I had been taught but I felt that I had become stagnant in my practice.

The next time we met was in a temple for a cleansing ritual, I stood before a deep stone water trough and was asked to dip my head in, as I did so, I immediately felt a hand on my neck and shoulders, I sought to bring my head back up, it was impossible, my head was firmly gripped under water, I could not breathe, I began to thrash around arms flailing to no avail, I started to black-out and it began to dawn on me, not for the first time in my life that I was facing the very real possibility that I would lose my life, I thought of everything that I held dear, and then at the very moment I felt death encroaching on my consciousness I summoned one last supreme effort to break myself free.

I threw myself up with what I thought was every ounce of energy I possessed, at that very moment, he relaxed the grip on my neck and I went flying backwards, spluttering water and thoroughly angry, through a mixture of tears and water in my eyes I could have strangled the guy whilst he calmly stared at me. I asked if he was trying to drown me? He asked me why I fought back, this was an elderly person I would ordinarily never seek to lay hands on, I said surely I could not breathe…

His reply was that Enlightenment is breath in itself and that if breath was worth fighting for, then so is enlightenment and all that encompasses it. The same effort you engender with your dying breath is sometimes what is required to receive enlightenment, I experienced “little death” just so my mentor could make a point, the enigma being that the ultimate revelation, is but a revelation.

Our base instincts are the engine room of our spiritual vehicles, under-powered, you just toddle along

One cannot truly appreciate Heaven until one has been to Hell
and you cannot truly Love until you have learned how to hate completely and with all your heart.
