HellVictorinho3: You don't know why I requested for help..... you see it as a scheme .... is this justifiable ?
As for those with baseless allegations against me. .., it's because I don't have money to sue them...... I want to see which useless law states that anyone that requested for help should be treated as if those bastards have the right to treat the person the way they do. Forget all the baseless accusations. As long as you do not have a disability, you should not make begging a habit. Anyone can occasionally run broke and beg once in a while but to make it a habit is where the issue is. Try not to be too proud to find a decent living. And if you can find someone on NL to show you the ropes, all the better. From your posts you sound quite intelligent and should not have to resort to this. |

hupernikao: Well, I ask questions because I don't like assumptions. And always know this.
1. I also want to be sure not to assume people's thoughts. I want to be sure he is referring to the Bible and not assumptions.
2. I want to be able to reread from the Bible, the very passage or verse or story or events that is being focused on or discussed.
So, I need to know his text.
But on the timing of the flood, I have put it in my latest response to you.
No one can ascertain the timing. If it was taught as a legend in the ancient world of Mesopotamia, which is the cradle of civilization. Then we must be assured that the event, if it occurred, must have been in period when man knows nothing about writings but communicate orally. Hence the timing will always be disputed as the very events itself.
But using the scale of human populating the earth as at the time of the ancient east culture, we can arguably extrapolate that if such event truly happened before their time, not more than 1000 Souls worldwide would have experienced it.
Now ponder on how such events can be accurately preserved till man's civilization. The reason it will be on argument table till ages. You have a point. But then it's your own opinion. Like I earlier said, this timing was calculated and validated by Theologians who dedicated their lives to the study of the bible. Some even supposedly though the guidance and under the tutelage of the Holyspirit. If I may ask, how did you come about this notion that the biblical chronology is wrong and not to be taken seriously? Was it though a website or did the Holyspirit guide you into this your truth? |

2. Is this meant to make FG release Kanu without court procedures? Cos obviously that's not happening?
3. When will IPOB and Easterners realise that killing fellow igbos is a blessing to the Northerners and FG and a loss to them? After all the killings and bombings in the east last year,has Kanu been released? |

HellVictorinho3: Why didn't you answer me? It's in your best interest that I did not reply you. But now you have asked for my reason. 1. Begging should not be a habit. As someone who is an adult, you should find some thing you can do and find a job. I was going to give you some thing until I realised you have made begging on NL a regular habit. 2. If your present job isn't paying you well, find one that will or find multiple streams of income. 3. It's makes an intelligent person like you look bad when you beg religious people for aids. I am a giver naturally but not one to be exploited. I just think you've turned NL to a ground for easy money through begging. Like I said, It's in your best interest that i don't reply you. So, next time some one ignores you begging them for money, just take it as a cue and let them be. Those that will fall for your scheme will fall. Others who know better will obviously not fall. |

Dtruthspeaker: You have spoken Truly. (See, Truth in Action. If it is True, it is True) and the things you have laid are True.
But, in all of what you have laid, you would see that The Truth is still beyond these facts and it needs to be raised up.
Like the ground under our feet has been consistent, therefore, the question is who raised superstitions for clearly superstitions are clearly not Truths?
Truth is Everlasting and Everyone comes to meet it proving The Truths in the Bible "Gods Words are Everlasting" Psalm 119:89.
Hence, Truth is All God has Said and What He has wrought.
Anything not standing on this will and must Fall! How do you know what God said? You simply accepted the words of the bible as truth, just like the Jew accepts the words of the Talmud as truth. Just as the Muslim accepts the words of the Quran as truth. Just as out traditionalists accept the words of their priests as truth. There are so many errors that were proven untrue in the bible which was why early the early Christian church persecuted and even killed scientists. (Pls Google is your friend). There are so many truths you and your pastor have prophesied but did not come true, Covid being a more recent case that humbled Christians. Now don't get me wrong. I respect every form of belief that makes anyone become a better person. My grouse with Christianity, Islam and Judaism is the monopoly they brought into religion. So before you adjudge any information as true, what research have you done or what revelation have you had to validate your assertion? |

Which of the chronology is he basing his assumption on. That will help us streamline his error. Your penchant for stalling is legendary. You understand very well the chronology he based it on. It's all over the bible. Theologians who have dedicated their lives to studying the bible agree on it. You can as well google it. But if you will be so kind enough to share your own assumption or thoughts as to the timing of the said flood. |

hupernikao: ..
What a fallacious conclusion.
We say, calm down and learn Bible, you argue. We say read am properly yourself, you argue. See yourself now.
A very poor knowledge of what you criticized. You are all wrong in context, explanation, in language, understanding and even ability to read well.
Bible wasn't teaching flood story, such story were in existence even before Moses was born. The ancient world had it. You took time to be estimating flood period but failed to do study on where and how such story began. That is laziness.
The writer of that portion of the Bible was a prophet and was using the flood story to teach God's plan for humanity. He never claimed to be the author of the story, but he was the mouth piece for the revelation taught using the same story.
It will then become, an issue of unseriousness, for one to read the word of a prophet of God and start comparing it to science. Such has not only lost his simple education, he has lost his ability to reason things the right way. He based his calculations on biblical chronology. Why does the bible give chronologies if according to you they're not meant to be taken seriously? |

HardMirror: Do you know we can accurately calculate when the great flood in the bible supposedly happened?
The lifespans in Genesis 11 span from Abram back to the Flood. When we add the years listed in Genesis 11 to Abram’s birth year 2166 B.C., we get about 2472 B.C. for the Flood year. Add the 1,656 years from Genesis 5 to that and we get nearly 4128 B.C.
So the flood happened around 2472 B.C. https://www.icr.org/article/when-did-noahs-flood-happen
So what is the problem?
The problem is, this was the same period Egypt started to flourish and develop rapidly.
This was the same time the great pyramids of Egypt where built. The Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notated Dynasty IV) is characterized as a "golden age" of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Dynasty IV lasted from c. 2613 to 2494 BC.[1] It was a time of peace and prosperity as well as one during which trade with other countries is documented.
In fact king Khufu who built the largest pyramids became pharaoh of egypt just 200 years after the great flood that was supposed to wipe out every human on earth and only Noah and 7 members of his family are supposed to be the only ones left.
So how come King Khufu had a Nation of people who could build the largest pyramids in just 200 years from just 8 people that survived the flood?
Dont forget that King Khufu also had a predecessor? How come?
We have proof and a list of all the Pharoahs of Egypt even all through the period that this flood should have happened.
From the 4th dynasty to the 6th dynasty
From 2600bc to 2100bc
So when did this flood happen? And how come there are records of nations always existing all through this period that the whole world should have been wiped out?
This is proof the bible is nothing but blatant lies if only we would ask questions. Interesting thread. A pot-pourri of diverse philosophies. |

Dtruthspeaker: Yes it is. For to you, you can choose to say that you walk on the sky and the sun is in the ground, that is your own.
But once you have to relate with others, Truth is very clear and beyond dispute. It is the consensus and aggregate of subjectives in which we all agree and have agreed that we walk on ground and the sky is above us.
So, if you prefer lies to be your Truths, that is your personal insanity and alienation.
But beyond and outside you, Truth is Known and Settled and sane men relate on it. A lot of general superstitions were accepted as truths. Today they've been rejected after being disproved by education and science. Truth is absolute but that everyone around you accepts an unproven truth just makes it an opinion and not truth. Yorubas used to believe that Oduduwa created the earth when God gave Orisanla a hen and sand which the hen spread to form the earth. I'm sure today you realise how ridiculous that sounds. In the South they believed twins were evil and used to murder them. That was their generally accepted truth until Mary Slessor. I'm sure you catch my drift. |

GraphicsMaster1: Your Physics textbooks too are written works. But Physics is science. An observation of how nature works. And how to simulate nature to make inventions. The bible on the contrary is an alleged historical account of a said Jewish messiah that would save the whole world The bible is just like our traditional myths and legends. 1. Do you believe there was a Sango who actually spat fire from his mouth and controlled thunder? 2. Do you believe there was actually an Amadioha who actually controlled thunder? 3. Do you believe that the whole world was created when Eledumare gave Orisanla a hen and sand which the hen scratched and spread to form the earth? 4. Or do you believe in the more documented Greek mythology of creation with Titans and Zeus? 5. Perhaps you believe in the Buddhist or Hindus version of creation story. The truth remains you only chose to believe biblical version of the story because they were very meticulous and made sure to spread by enforcing it along education in Ngeria. Your parents or grand were forced to accept Christianity or forfeit the benefits of education. So you cannot possibly place science on the same pedestal as the bible or any other religious book simply because you simply chose to believe the bible. I do not see anything wrong is having what you have chosen to believe. My only issue is that the bible promotes monopoly by teaching that only the bible is right and anyone who doesnt accept its teaching is condemned and some times should be ostracized. |

hupernikao: You have finally diverted the discussion.
Go back and read what I quoted. It was never about writings but creation. The world we are in. We need no writing to know this world exists. Comparing it to Harry Potter is just an excuse to discussion. The world we live in existed long before man knew how to write. Long before the Bible was canonised. That you believe that the God of the Bible is the creator of heaven and earth is your choice even though there is no proof. The point being that the Bible is a literary work just like Harry Potter. While J.K Rowlings acknowledges her work to be fantasy, we know the Bible just like other religious Holy books claims to be inspired by God even though they all differ in the said inspiration. |

hupernikao: Are we talking about what is written or what was created? Don't divert the analogy. We are talking about creation now. Not what is documented about creation.
The world existed, we are in it, we can hold, work in it. Hence no one doubt it. Harry Potter world is none existent, it was a movie. Or else give details of his world or what he created that we can hold or work with then this analogy can fly.
The argument here is if the earth was created, using Harry Potter, an abstraction with no substance of creation to explain reality is joke taken too far.
I hope you get this now. The Bible is a written work just like Harry Potter. You only chose to believe the Bible as real and disbelieve Harry Potter as unreal. |

The analogy didn't address this. Every art is a creation. All you know about the bible was created literarily. Same way with Harry Potter. I can also write that I created you as your father. Does it prove in real sense that I am your father? I simply created a writ that I created you. The bible claims the creation of the earth and heavens to God without any known proof. Otherwise, praytell, how do you know your biblical God created heaven and earth other than what's written in the bible? |

sonmvayina: Christians believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin and that one who does not have a blood sacrifice will die in their sins and go to hell. For Christians, the ultimate and only blood sacrifice that counts with God came in the death of Jesus. Christianity believes that if one does not accept the death of Jesus as one’s blood sacrifice, then one is condemned to an eternity enduring the punishments of hell.
In Judaism the centrality of the animal sacrifices ceased, not with the second destruction of the Temple by the Romans, but rather with the first destruction of the Temple by the Babylonians. One must keep in mind that the vast majority of Jews never returned to the Promised Land under Cyrus of Persia. They remained in Babylonia. By the time Jesus was said to have been born, eighty percent of the world’s Jewish community lived outside the Promised Land, and did not care about the cessation of animal sacrifices. When the Temple was reestablished, the Jews of Babylonia made an annual financial gift for the maintenance of the Temple and the land, but never worried that God would not forgive them their sins without a blood sacrifice (much as Jews all over the world do today). They had no such fear because the Bible makes it explicitly clear that no blood sacrifice is necessary for the forgiveness of sins. The Bible also makes it clear that an animal sacrifice is not the exclusive means of obtaining forgiveness. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ as you rightly said is propitiation for the sins of all mankind before God. 1 John 2:2 However what I do not understand is what you mean by not needing it. |
