Historically, the Yoruba Oyo Empire extended to eastern Ghana, as well as countries like Togo, and Benin Republic. So, the Shatta-Wale guy probably has Yoruba ancestors. Sad, most Africans are not thought their history.

Taught.

You must be algae then.

I had to suppress my basic instinct to retort.

Now my argument is not that I believe in evolution.
You posed a question which I proffered an answer to.

Evolutionists believe all living organisms are off-shoots of the algae. Tha algae being the oldest living creature in all existence because it is the only known creature that doesnt need to be born or created. It only needs the right conditions and it is formed and then probably natural selection ensued as time progressed and other creatures were formed.

Wizkid better be careful in that Ghana. Its a shame some artistes don't learn from the past. Shatta is stirring up hate that can consume him if fed. I remember this was how 2pac and death row kept feeding the hate of West coast fans against East Coast Artistes especially Bad Boys artistes. It got really bad at The Source Awards when Snoop Dog, Suge Knight and others went to Newyork to diss the Newyork artistes in their own territory. Puff Daddy got on stage and preached love instead refusing to feed the hate just like Wizkid is doing now.
2 pac was killed not long after that and the Bad Boys crew felt the need to make peace so the rivalry can stop. That move led to the murder of the Notorious BIG when he visited California for the promo of his album. That was how the 2 best rappers ever where killed and no convictions made till date.

Shatta should be cautioned and the Big Nigerian afrobeat artistes better be careful in Ghana for now.

Still trying to figure how you some how managed to bring East coast and West coast beef into this.

I can't say i have fully understood the bible yet, but i can tell you that i have understood it basic ideas and concepts, and i wish that everyone calling himself or herself a Christian should understand.
Otherwise, they will continue to be defeated by atheists and other antiChrists or anti-christians.

And i will also add that, it takes one to be educated to have a proper understanding of the dynamics of scriptures.
If you are not educated or have a basic knowledge of logic, everything the bible is trying to explain to you will never benefit you, especially the parables and teachings of Jesus Christ.
The highest you can do with these things is to use them to do the usual religious activities, that's all.
But they never benefit you.

Logic helps you to prepare your brain..
the knowledge of who exactly they are as Christians.
And as such, they have missed or lost focus of the purpose of their existence on this earth.
People who were erroneously thought from childhood by doctrines brought to Africa by colonial Christian missionaries of the 18th century that they will be raptured someday from this earth, and they still believe that error till this modern day, what do you expect from them?
many Christians in Africa still do not know what distinguish them as Christians from other people.
This is a very ridiculous confusion among believers.

When see pastors calling alter call today in their pulpit(example is pastor Enoch Adeboye), the same Christians will come out to be saved, not knowing that they are already saved just being born Christians.

The question people will ask is, why will Pastor Adeboye involved in that kind of a scam ?

You did not answer the last question though.

What differentiates a Christian from a non-Christian?

it is a waste trying to explain to a fool. Please ignore that guy. He is absolutely dishonest to himself

On this we certainly agree.
Yet honesty is meant to be a natural fruit of the spirit from the Spirit of Truth lol
While the father of lies is the devil.

HardMirror:
Over a five year period, the scientists grew and nurtured a strain of Plasmodium parasite that they knew did not have any resistance to artemisinin. Every so often during this period they gave the colony of parasites a small amount of artemisinin. They hypothesised that sooner or later an artemisinin resistant parasite would emerge because of the selection pressure of the drug (the pressure to adapt in order to survive!). Sure enough, after four years of exposure to the drug, artemisinin resistant parasites were seen. With DNA sequencing they were then able to study the genome of the resistant parasites and compare them to the genome of the original, non-resistant strain of Plasmodium.

They found several genetic changes in the resistant parasite genome but the most significant one occurred bang in the middle of the previously-identified regions on chromosome 13, in a gene? called kelch13.

Extract

Explain then why most parts of US and UK have successfully eliminated the plasmodium parasite from their cities.

It's mostly in Africa that we are still dealing with malaria. Cos we have a useless govt that knows the solution but seems to be profiting off the virus and pharmaceuticals coys.

I'm AA so I'm very susceptible to malaria.
I dont see which malaria I've not been able to treat with Artemisinin.

hupernikao:
You aren't stating what the Bible teaches Sir. You are stating what you assumed it taught.

I was hoping you'll say that.
Let me elucidate you and help you with some much needed unveilings;
This is who you are meant to be as a Christian with the Holyspirit;

1. John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

2. 1 Corinthians 12:1 - 11
1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
4There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

3. Mark 16:17-18
17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

4. Galatians 5:22-26
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

hupernikao:
I guess you are speaking for yourself based on false information you held as a Bible reader. This is obvious in the fact that you are not even able to differentiate a life in Christ from other things.


And for the second time, I have told you that I don't attack atheist, not anyone. Questioning someone isn't an attack. Your partner HardMirror has used a million unprinted word for me here, did you see me trail that line with him? So where did you see the attack. Am sure you are just thinking it just in your head.

People like HardMirror, the solution to their challenges is to question them, they will start speaking swahili as he has done since yesterday. Then later he will shout Jesus.

And also Sir, I hope you will take time to start knowing what Christianity truly is about. This will help your assumptions.

Are you saying that the bible makes no promises that differentiates a Christian from others?

Cos I'm simply stating what the bible teaches.

paxonel:
Reasons for atheism.

1. Most Christians who eventually became atheists never understood the bible before they they finally decided not to be Christians anymore, they believe every written texts should be clearly understood before one can effectively practice the content thereof, I for one as a Christian I believe that should be the case too.
2. Because the bible is that difficult to be fully understood, most Christians do not understand the religion they practice inspite reading the bible devotedly and meticulously through out their life time. So, they possibly cannot defend themselves on why they find themselves practicing Christianity even when some of the things they do are not reasonable enough to classify as common sense.

So, right now it is a case of the ignorant lecturer(the atheist) trying to lecture the Christian(the ignorant student) the content of their bible.

But one thing is certain in all these : There is absolute knowledge of the bible.
The bible can be fully understood just like the way we understand our physics, economics and history texts. But unfortunately, such knowledge is not common in Africa.

In Africa and most third world countries, we adopted a religion we know nothing about while the Europeans are currently living the standard practices of the same religion because most of them were fully educated

You that have fully understood the bible like Luke, kindly share what others have missed.

What differentiates a Christian from others?

HardMirror:
malaria for example https://www.malariasite.com/history-parasites/ and this is true for ALLL, I MEAN ALL VIRUSES, BACTERIA, PARACITES KNOWN TO MAN

From this, other forms of evolution malaria has seemingly undergone are speculative. Imagine dating it back millions of years ago?

From 5000 years ago, the only malaria we know is the plasmodium which hasn't evolved since then.

HardMirror:
even if lordreed converts to your religion, it in no way validates your religion. After all 2billion people already practice christianity in various forms yet they have not been able to show that God benefits mankind in any way. Christians are terrible, ordinary, useless as every other human being on earth be it muslims, Hindus, or even atheists your god has in no way made you better humans

Loool so harsh.
Your point is simply what I've been trying to let him see.

Christian's are no different from anyone else in reality.
But biblically, they should be.

Just like those practising other religions according to their own Holy books should be different from the reality we see today.

The true Hinduist, Buddhist,Confucian, Traditionalists etc also believe they are supposed to be the better people than others but guess what in reality they are just as greedy, selfish, dishonest, sexually perverted,etc just as most Christian's and Muslims.

So it begs the question, instead of focusing your attention on atheists, why not look inward and see why your own religion- Christianity for Hupernikao, has failed to live up to it's promise and standard.

HardMirror:
covid or not, all viruses and bacteria are evolving actively that is the most important thing. Every single human is born with more than 10 mutations.

Can you mention one that has evolved?
If possible with a link?

hupernikao:
You are still repeating exactly what I said. In Christianity, newness of life is the receiving and the walking in and by the spirit.

A newly converted true Muslim walking in newness of life is simply no different from a newly converted true Christian walking in newness of life.

Why I am particular about you mentioning the Holyspirit is because that truly is what differentiates the Christian from every other religion scripturally.

HardMirror:
covid is verifiable. It is IMPOSSIBLE to fake a disease existing or not. You know why? Any one can purchase the right equipment and carryout tests even at home. Do you know how many biochemist, microbiologists, virologists etc we have around the world? You cannot just make up a disease these days and not be busted within 24hours. Please ditch that conspiracy and let's be real with ourselves.

By the way covid is not the only disease evolving. Every single virus and bacteria known to man are constantly mutating

I didnt say it doesn't exist.
I meant it's political mechanism.

It's an artificially generated virus.

I meant using it as a basis for this argument we're having is not really acceptable. I'd rather we stick to natural phenomena.

hupernikao:
You still not cease to make assumption for me. What is the difference between newness and the giving of the holyghost. Bro, don't let us start another exegesis here. My fourth post before this already informed you about supernatural life. I guess until Holyspirit is mentioned you can't seems to know the essence of the spirit in all I have been writing.

HolySpirit
Newlife
Eternal life
Newness

Are all words used in place of explaining the receiving of the spirit in the scriptures. So the moment you see a newlife in Christ, that is already the indwelling of the spirit. It's one and the same.

Hence, Christian walk is a walk in this newness.

Every true new convert into any religion or philosophy walks in a newness of life. Because theres a paradigm shift in the person's mindset.

What the bible does teach which should separate the believer is the indwelling of the person of the Holyspirit whose evidence in the life of the believer is in speaking of tongues and impartation of other spiritual gifts and fruit (of love) which one begins to grow and manifest as the life of Christ becomes more evident in that believer.

This is really what should be the difference between a Christian and non-Christians but apparently this is hardly so.

Image123:
You forgot to add that there is no shred of evidence that life wasn't created. All living things today point to the fact that they didn't just happen. Wake up.

The study of algae shows they simply just exist/develop under the right conditions without being born or created.
That sounds like an evidence that life wasn't created.

hupernikao:
I guess you mixed the newness in Christ with what others mean.

Firstly. We are speaking of SALVATION through Faith in Christ.

Secondly, Christ lived the life he wanted us to live. That is the example we see. That life is not what I am imposed to live, it is a life impacted to me. IMPACTED, note that word. It is what I have and has become.

A reality. Not what I have to be. A reality I know, and experience daily in my life. It is who I am not who I will be. Not one doing it because he doesn't want to be punished or go to hell (using your word). But one living it because that's his life. He loves to live it not because of a condition but because that is who he is.

I was baiting you to say what the bible actually teaches which is the power of the Holyspirit in the new convert- viz spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit.

But I guess we've established apriori that you don't really believe in those portions of the bible.

hupernikao:
In the Present
He is saved now, and found purpose and meaning to life in Christ Jesus. He daily learns to walk in this perfection as unto his Lord.

To walk in the newness of life as his lord will do. A process that happens daily. This includes knowing the world is beyond what you see but that which you can't see but prevails in man's affairs.

True. That's what the bible promises.
But interestingly this is what a newly converted true Muslim (not terrorists.lol) also experiences.
In fact this is what anyone who comes to some form of "wokeness" or "enlightenment" outside religion also experiences.

So is there any difference from the experience of the new Christian convert and a new convert into Islam or any other religion or enlightenment?

hupernikao:
You always assume my theology. I never said everything you put up there.

I only asked if we can align on what the "problem" is. If we do then it will help our discussion.

Bible is not and never about heaven or hell. It's about salvation through faith in Christ.

Simply seeing the salvation which is a central theme in the Bible should let you know that Bible already have a bias that the world itself is already in a chaos, degenerating and corruptible state. You don't save someone or something that is not in danger. Salvation is to rescue to safety.

So if the focus of the Bible is salvation, then making heaven or casting into hell is just a doctrinal superimposition.

There is no need to throw the world in hell or fire or anything, the world is already in a state of degradation. It's only a matter of time. The evil and corruption in the world is self destructive and you know. Hence, Bible theology only present to you the

The WHY
The WHAT
The WAY OUT

Also note that, a man who view all about this world as natural and neglect facts of supernatural or spiritual, is yet to start living. These are facts that will outline the "problem" of these world.

Ok. First let me apologise for my assumption of your theology.
Now, what is the difference between one who has this salvation and one who doesn't?

HRSweetness:
LOL, the ajebutter agbero has warned you guys. Better take heed.

Seriously though, no security around? And why does the crowd have to be so close to the stage?

Burna wey no get joy.
Heard he charged the highest for his concerts.

Even Wiz wey dey pop pass am sef no overkill him fans.
Regular for burna na 50k.
While Wiz na 30k.

HardMirror:
it is not a belief

Yes,it's a theory and I addressed it as such.
But you believe the theory yet it doesnt have absolute proof.

HardMirror:
because the challenge as changes are ridiculously small. Look at the Corona virus, di you see how much it has evolved in just a year

Pls Covid is not a verifiable fact.
It's a political one.lol

It was written about since over 30 years ago before it was "created"
US needed to oust Trump and there was no other way to achieve that so they introduced the coronavirus.

2elliot:
Man who has been able to build complex things whether it be chaos or harmony should have no difficulty believing in an intelligent God as creator of everything complex whether it be a chaos or order. By no chance has a car come about, neither a plane, a house or anything created by man.

Ok, so I decide to believe in creationism.
Who is this creator?
Cos different creationists seem to have different ideas of the creator.
Or does the creator not want to be known?

hupernikao:
This depends on what you see as the problem.
When we align on this, I can let you know what the light does.

What is the problem to be solved?

Exactly my point. You really can't point out the difference.

Biblically the only difference is that you will make it to heaven. While those who do not believe in Jesus like you do will end up in hell. Right?

That's a religious belief shared by other religions too.

The Muslims believe all Christian's are damned for their own version of hell.
Jews believe non-Jews are damned for their own version of hell.
Christian's believe non-Christians are damned for hell.
Other religions believe those who do not practise theirs are likewise damned for their own version of hell.

Only few religions don't condemn others to hell.

So if you have any concrete difference between you and a non-believer in Jesus, praytell, this might convert me and others.

2elliot:
without a mind, eye, or any kind of sense, or even energy, can you create a perfect or even an imperfect chaos, talkless of an harmonised object?

Kindly shed more light on this.

hupernikao:
Every belief system that is not of God is coming down next year. Either imagination, knowledge, thoughts, mindset etc. The walls have cracked. They will all fall flat in 2022.

Even HardMirror will be rejoicing in God's light next year. LordReed sef is doing pressup warming up. All lines with fall in great places in 2022.

What makes you think this will solve any problem?

You that have received the light of Christ, do you mind sharing what is the difference between you and others?

HardMirror:
Just so you know and perhaps you can think...

1. No single evidence for creationism
2. There are thousands of evidence that supports evolution.
3. Creationism teaches that life came from nothing, yet creationists keep asking where life started with evolution?

There is absolutely no reason to believe a god created life and no evidence for it.

if you have evidence or superior arguement that supports creationism over evolution tell us, cause no one in the world has so far presented any evidence that life was created


Happy Sunday

As much as I used to believe in Evolution theory, I came across a question that I could not answer;

If Evolution theory is true, how come we have not seen any animal evolve after all this years?

What's your take on this?

hupernikao:
Do you see dagger in my hand hunting down unbelievers? You assume alot Bro.

Was I the one who created the thread and started "live and not let others live" ?. Your advise is inverted. Turn it the right way to the person who see triumph in attacking believers yet without ability that withstand scrutiny.

Have you ever see me attack anyone? I only questioned. And it became a problem.

So, Bro answer my question or give your advise to your fellow bigbanger.

As of 2022 Bro, even you will be as I am as the Lord liveth. The new year will come with the newness of things and light to your heart.

Amen.

You of all people should know that your weapon is stronger than a dagger. it is an attack on the mindset and belief system of others.

About the thread, well, I'm sure I've made my position known from the jump.

HardMirror:
I don't agree. I am not looking for respect. He should not respect my opinion, I am not also going to respect any rubbish. He should prove me wrong.

Well, you do not have proof of your own belief too.
So technically no one belief is absolute.

While I understand that creationism is a bit far-fetched, I think it's ok to allow those who don't believe in evolution theory to have something they believe in.

HardMirror:
I am sure the holy spirit told him we are the same person. Lol.

The way he keeps making it look like I am dodging him. Dodging him how? Lol. The guy wants us not to talk about the creator even though we are talking about creationism. Just imagine this level of dishonesty

I tire oh.
But like I said, he has his beliefs,you have your beliefs, I have mine.

We dont have to prove ours is right by proving others is wrong especially when there's paucity of evidence.

Even in the bible, before they could follow Moses the israelites had to see the evidences viz- his stick turning to snake and consuming the other snakes, Egyptians experiancing warts, rivers turning to blood, tirst borns dying, red sea parting for them to pass, etc.
For Elijah to prove his God is the greatest, fire had to rain down from heaven to consume cisterns and the other prophets of Baal.
Jesus had to turn water to wine, walk on water, feet multitudes miraculously, heal the sick, etc.

Biblically God knows the importance of evidence. But today they simply hinge everything on faith.
Even faith is defined and an evidence of things unseen.
Meaning after you have it then those things should start happening. The miracles, signs and wonders, etc.
