vedaxcool:You did italicised in post 470 and I acknowledged it, calling it a "useful response" and commending it. So what are you talking about here? Post 470 was your fifth post in this thread. Show me where in your first four posts you actually said anything to clear up the issue. All you did in those posts was merely to tell your opponents that their religion is just as barbaric as yours. When I tell you you are a thief, and instead of saying, "No, I'm not," you simply say, "What about you, are you not also a thief?" Why can't you see what you were doing by initially carrying on like that? Pray, what "Lie" are you referring to? |
^^^ ![]() I recognise you were stating your views. But that's what I was actually trying to point out - that that is your view, not official Christianity's. I think it's honest to stick with Isaiah, but the fact remains that there is no single official Christian material that teaches 1 in 3 or 1 as 3. If there is any I would like to be corrected on this. As I write this, I can see my primary four teacher, Miss Iguisi, standing in front of the class teaching CRK, topic, "The Holy Trinity." Here she goes: "There are three persons in one God. . ." And so says all the creeds. See my point? |
nopuqeater:The Islamic Republic of Pakistanis about 97% Muslim. Christians and Hindus make up most of the remaining 3%. There are also sprinklings of Sikhs, Parsis, and Buddhists. |
^^^ Honestly, I won't mind if there is a rapture, for this guy's effort. |
Ok. I will step back on the gun and pipe low while awaiting feedback. ![]() |

vedaxcool:Again you exhibit a depressing inability to grasp meanings in simple statements MyJoe:, miss the point, fly off the handle and miss an opportunity to give a considered response. You remind me of a character in the movie Attack Force, if I recall the title correctly, who sees every attention as aggression and promptly brings her bladed fingers to the situation. And no thanks, sir, for your higgledy-piggledy "lesson in history". But good luck in your fights with your "average Christian in NL" opponents! I'm not one. |
vedaxcool:Haba! I did not say India was not ruled by Muslims. I said: MyJoe:There was nothing in your original claim to indicate that you were talking of ancient antiquity. You, sir, need to communicate properly and read what others write carefully. As for all the other stuff you said, you are way off. I merely made an observation I have noticed about your posts. If I were you I would take it to heart instead of making wild conjectures about my motives. I am not a Christian so your quip about "holy ghost" is a miss as good as a mile. I am sincere. Quit being grouchy and learn to face issues. I agree that toba quite needlessly jumped at another opportunity to bash Islam and brought in something extraneous, but that does not justify your initial "you, nko. . . " responses. A more appropriate thing would have been to respond to the issue (like you later did) and then at the end remind your opponents that they should mind their glass houses when throwing stones. But no. Post after post, you simply talk about Deuteronomy and the Inquisition whenever unsavoury things are mentioned in connection with Islam. This is what I sought to draw your attention to. When you behave like this you might succeed in shutting up some of the Christians, but what about those who are neither Christians nor Moslems who are reading and are weighing which religion to join? You simply tell them by your you, nko. . . responses: "See, Islam is indeed very barbaric, but so is Christianity." What does that do for you? |
^^^ There are people in Europe who don't think much your religion, alright. But it is my opinion that they are not the enemies of your religion. Left to these Europeans and others who think like them, you guys should just carry on and not bother with them and they won't bother with you. I think it's the small minority of Moslems who carry out terrorist attacks that kill indiscriminately - men, women, children, Christians, Moslems, politicians, soldiers, civilians - from Pakistan to Mali, from London to Algiers, that mould these people's opinion of Islam. I think these terrorists are your real enemies since their bad actions shape people's perception of your religion. You should consider putting the blame at the door of these people and directing your anger at them. The Europeans you speak of are merely REACTING. What do you say to this? |
vedaxcool:Bolded is your first useful response in this thread, and perhaps in many threads. It is commendable. I can't help but notice that whenever someone tells you "you be thief", you simply turn to the person and say, "you, nko, you no be thief?" Now, that does not answer the original allegation. The fact that someone else does something bad does not justify your doing it. By the way, India is not ruled by Muslims. |
manmustwac:I think the change was unnecessary and quite wrong, moderator. For one thing, if he had given the thread the title you changed it to from the beginning, I can bet you there would have been only a handful of people clicking on it and perhaps only one or two responding - nuclearboy or KunleOshob, and then maybe mabell to reinforce that it was indeed an "anointing-filled" outing. But the "Michael" titled pulled in a crowd. It's called "branding". Ask JeSoul how she once opened a thread titled: "That sinful and amorous book called Song of Solomon", or something like that. Within minutes page after page was getting full. I recall telling her what an advertising genius she was. (Actually, that wasn't her exact intention, but that's how it worked out.)For another thing, since the old title did not break any stated rule and the new one was picked by you yourself, you merely abused your powers by effecting the change. ![]() |
@Mad_Max. I 'd be grateful to have: The Gods Themselves - Isaac Asimov Lord of the Flies-William Golding The Ninja-Eric van Lustbader One Hundred Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez The Satanic Verses- Salman Rushdie Thanks. editors008@gmail.com |
vedaxcool:It will be interesting to know who you refer as "they". |
vescucci:Lol. I highlighted "Christians" and "1 in 3" in an effort to show that "1 in 3" (or "1 as 3" is different from what "Christianity" teaches which is "3 in 1".mazaje:You was serious o! You do pass Tudor even. @Mad_Max I think you lay it out very well. One thought long and hard about things before realising that God just does not intervene here. And nothing has ever made so much sense to me. Nothing. |
Pastor AIO:That ^^^ would be germane if miscommunication was the biggest monster around here such that anything should be done to conquer it. But maybe it’s possible to argue successfully that the use of labels are the major culprit in miscommunication. That, sir, is because every word is a label. |
Jenwitemi: Guys, if you know jenwitemi very well, you would have realized by now that he does not set his stall on one particular school of thought. In order for one to have any chance of understanding this reality that we experience, the first thing that one needs to do is to free oneself of a permanent attachement to a particular paradigm. As we search for the truth behind the universe, we need to first of all rid ourselves of the old rgid paradigms that explains little to nothing and be open for new ones. That demands a total paradigm shift and thinking big in our part.But you once admitted to being close to pantheism-panentheism naa. . . ![]() Seriously, I do understand that labels are a bugbear to some around here and are thus strongly repudiated by these people. To understand this fear, you really need to understand something they call "nominal realism" in psychology. That ornate-sounding phrase simply refers to something that occurs when a child learns the name of an object. The child starts repeating the name, and keeps repeating it. Then the child falls into the trap of thinking that things are essentially the same as the name they bear. This leads him into thinking that he can change things by simply naming them! But she is wrong: labels come after the fact, not before it. Thus if a man was told about God and rejected the idea all his life, but had never heard of the word atheism, we would still call him an atheist. These labels may not capture one's ideas 100%, but they often approximate them sufficiently. In discourses, they help us to conceptualise, comprehend and advance the topic. Sorry about my off-topic ramblings, everyone. ![]() |
Appy baite day, Deep Sight! |
Sagamite:Beautifully, beautifully summarised! |
[quote author=Mad_Max link=topic=507888.msg6693431#msg6693431 date=1283539856]The bolded part has said it all. For arguably the most intelligent man on the planet, Hawkings far overreaches himself. I had to stop at the Matrix conspiracy theory though. I don't get that part. There's a civilisation that created this universe? Do you mean that in the 'Lobsang Rampa: The Hermit' sense? How did you arrive at this? Isn't that quite a leap from your previous theory; we are all pieces of God? We're like pods planted by an alien civilisation; complex computer programming. Really intriguing. Isn't it all just semantics though? Replacing 'illusion' with another word, something spacy and upbeat and sexy; 'computer program'? Is that essentially what 'getting with the 21st century gig' means? A new slang for old concepts? Are you really saying something new here? Whatever it is, it's interesting.[/quote]Thought I was the only one who has tracked Pilgrim Jewi's progress from positive pantheism-panentheism to experimental computheism-megatheism. ![]() |

drnonye: please please please STOP CALLING IBB AN Evil Genius.Thank you. [quote author=sir-p2007]Raymond dokpesi has the right to support any potential candidate there is no problem with that.But as the sole controller of an electronic media its very wrong.He should not have come out openly to declare his support for any politician talk more of IBB.Daar comm is suppose to be a watchdog not political outfit. The problem with dokpesi action is that he is associating with an infamous person,4getting that he is suppose to be neutral no matter hw much he like the candidate.He would have been discreet in his support for his preferred candidate. This singular action can send daar comm to oblivion with or without our boycott. TO IBB SUPPORTERS your NO 1 EXCUSE IS THAT HE IS A CHANGED MAN,PLEASE SHOW ME THE PROOF THAT HE HAS CHANGED.WHY DO U THINK D CONSTITUTION BAN EX-CONVICT FROM CONTESTING?CANT THE EX-CONVICT CHANGE? Dokpesi is rushing towards destruction(pro 13 vs 20)somebody should pls stop him.Poster i support your boycott of all daar comm outfit,its time we use our individual little resources to fight against corrupt politicians.[/quote]Brilliant! |
JeSoul:A fair assessment of the slave trade. JeSoul: This can be equated to commenting on a 100 ton massive trainwreck of twisted metal that crushed scores and scores of people in cars on a train track, but yet pointing to a small window in the bathroom of the last storage car, and saying, look, at least that window didn't break, it withstood the accident.A fair assessment of Abacha. |
^^^ The issues are the same, but the parties are different. It's scaring, but it seems JeSoul and tpiah are right - there is no solution in sight. Did you notice the (Hamas?) terrorist attack in Israel as the talks were about starting? But didn't Netanyahu say something about being interested in peace just before departing for the US? ![]() |
vescucci:I share these sentiments. |
LOL I just got a foot taller! Thanks for your kinds words. ![]() [size=5pt]I have problems with the word "class", but because it's you, I won't whine loudly.[/size] |
[quote author=Tonye-t link=topic=507992.msg6692094#msg6692094 date=1283523928]No!. . .it only clarifies the fact that your God is black-colored being. But like seriously, what then happens to the red colored folks. . .the albinos. [/quote]I have always wondered, too. I guess he "manifests" to them in their own colour! |
@Op. I doubt anyone really knows these things. That said, the idea that the man who reportedly sat down and shared fish and bread with men at a mountain and was later murdered some 2000 years ago is the Almighty God himself is ridiculous to say the least. While no one may really knows these things, the Bible is clear that there is only one Almighty God. It says that Almighty God has a son, Jesus, whom he once sent on an errand to save humanity. The Trinity doctrine was invented at a council meeting. |

@ mazaje What I understand you to be saying is that you have considered the experience of Rodonaiah - a science professor who lived in an atheistic society, did not believe in God himself, was so fearless and incorruptible by prospects of power that he denounced the Big Brother Soviet state and for his efforts was assassinated by the KGB - and have reasonably concluded that the man sat down and made up the story the way Adichie makes up short stories and novels. How on earth does the fact blood parts can now be produced synthetically translate to the fact there is no natural blood? Did you bother to read these skeptics very well (and I am a skeptic, too) to see that even they acknowledge differences? And what you seem to miss is that while these experiences are purely subjective, the facts of the deaths and the environmental circumstances are not. These are objectively verifiable and there have been reports in secular journals of people reviving after being thought dead. In Rodonaiah’s story, the case of the baby that was correctly diagnosed and treated after his intervention was also a purely objective occurrence. That is one point that was conspicuously not addressed by that brilliant skepdic article. I hope you read the whole article – which by the way did not set out to dismiss NDEs as evidence of life after death or the dual nature of man. I thoroughly enjoyed it as well as some of the wonderful rejoinders. mazaje:I strongly assert that there is no study anywhere that has "shown" that "it's all in your brain". nuclearboy: ![]() Ehm, it's "3 in 1". |
