Joshthefirst: the holy spirit wrote the bible, we have the holy spirit and he interprets his word for us. Yet you continually refuse to take the interpretations from us who know the author and keep trying to interpret it yourselves, falling flat on your face and embarrasing yourselves.

you know the holy spirit? please tell him he needs to recall the bible for proof reading!

Joshthefirst: and this is why I said you choose to pick out what you want to pick to justify your mockery and evil deeds.
Idolatry.

we didnt write the bible! blame the holy spirit for the bad editing, lack of clarity and worst of all, not proof reading before publishing the BS

Joshthefirst: nonsense. I would rather justify God than sinful man.

oooh! that is so sweeeet!

Joshthefirst: Interpret scripture in light of other scripture.

Exodus 22:21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

Exodus 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

How can the same God who delivered the israelites from brutality and vexation in egypt advocate brutality and vexation to strangers?

that is why i said there is no method to the madness in the bible.

aManFromMars: I'm not bothered that a Christian posted that. I've learnt to expect the worse from them especially the Nigerian Pentecostal types. My only worry is she's female and might be a mother or a future one.

God save that pikin.

the same god that could not save the mother?!!

@josh
just give up. there is no method to the madness in the bible. hide under "it is an allegator" or something!

anochuko01: that the "super-natural" doesnt exist.....thats funny to hear. But if by mistake you fall into their hands, just remember that Jesus' name saves...you hear?

like his name saved the pple that died in the anambra vigil!

davidylan: dodging what? I am not obligated to tell you anything... i am only here to watch and enjoy.

Back to your non-questions... and we know these folks are God's people because they shout the loudest? And it is God's prerogative to save those who choose not to do the right thing?

your humanity has ......

you have a witness bro! i see them patterns clearly.

Lilimax: Although I'm not religious and don't subscribe to being one,
I still have a Sacred Book ( the Holy Bible) which is my guiding principle.
This book was written by Holy men of God under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit...

"under the inspiration of the holy spirit"

hmmmn! i smell scam, i smell BS!

Ruchidera: I don't believe in God but I don't go to church or pray or read the Bible.
I am more about thinking logically rather than just believing all the things that the Bible says.
I am 16 years old and my aunt wants me to get baptized and
I told her that I didn't want to do that and she thinks that I am a bad person.
I just don't understand how I can be bad just because I don't want to abide
by all of the rules in the Bible. I make good grades, I respect my parents,
and I have a job. I just don't think that I have to be religious just to have a good life.

Please state your thoughts about this.

Dont let anybody put you in a box. Religion is just BS invented by ancient men to give thier lives meaning, men wrote the religious books, men fought and forcefuly converted others, men created religious institutions to control others. Religion is just a con. live your life free of all religious BS.

Joshthefirst: thank you very much for saying what I wanted to say. He probably didn't even read the whole writeup. Just made ill-concieved conclusions.

Gods salvation and solving of the problem is only available for those who trust him.

If you reject his salvation, then you will pay the full penalty for your sins. And you too will be cordoned off in hell at the end.

I guess the pple that died in the Anambra vigil did not trust the lord then! smh

We have over time created a very terrible environment for ourselves in this country. Everywhere you go you see chaos and violence. mazaje what do you expect from pple brought up in chaos and violence?!

you guys should give jesus a break! he didnt have much tools to work with, he was riding around town on a donkey for crying out loud. he couldnt have toured the world on a donkey na!

you want him to change his name to Oluwakoseun or what?

chukwudi44: Mr Atheist first and foremost Very Rev Fr Mbaka was not the priest involved and he is definitely not a fraudster get your facts right.Secondary the stampede was caused by chants of fire which sent panic among the tens of thousands making people to run for cover and in the process tample on others.The same thing could have happened even if it occured in broad daylight or a secular gathering.if you don't believe in God allow those who do to worship him in the way it pleases them.

The event was just a tragic accident,I only resent the politicisation by desperadoes.

Its like you dont get the point! Why will god allow people that have come to worship him perish like that?! if they had gone to a musical concert and the tragedy happened one would have understood, but for "christ's sake they went to worship!

your god does work in mysterious ways. he kills people who come to "whoreship" him!

@bola
how do you unknow what you know about religion?!
how can the absurd and irrational now make sense to you?!

ubl6: The Makkans claimed descent from Abraham through Isma`il and tradition stated that their temple, the Ka`bah, had been built by Abraham and Isma'il for the worship of the One God. It was still called the House of Allah then. They inherited monotheism from their ancestor Isma'il but many centuries later most of them turned to idolatory although still beliving in Allah as their Creator. They filled the Ka'aba with about 360 idols which they believed were their intercessors to Allah. All the idols were later destroyed by the prophet when he seized Makkah from the pagans' control. However even before the prophet's mission began, there were a few of the Arabs who felt disgust at this idolatry, which had prevailed for centuries, longed for the religion of Abraham and tried to find out what had been its teaching. Such seekers of the truth were known as Hunafa (sing. Hanif), a word originally meaning “those who turn away” (from the existing idol-worship), but coming in the end to have the sense of “upright” or “by nature upright,” because such persons held the way of truth to be right conduct. These Hunafa did not form a community. They were the non-conformists of their day, each seeking truth by the light of his inner consciousness. Muhammad son of Abdullah became one of these. Many years before his mission began, the prophet often used to isolate himself to a cave outside Makkah to meditate. It was in one of these seclusions that archangel Gabrail first appeared to him.

did any other human witness gabriel delievering the koran to prophet mohammed? if not why the secrecy? why would a god who can create the universe out of nothing choose to reveal a message meant for the whole world to a man in a cave without any witness, in an insignificant part of the world?!!

Elantracey: @op..jesus didnt come to save d jews,he came to save d world but he had to start 4rm a place.. john1vs10-12: he ws in the world,and the world was made by him and the world knew him not.11. He came unto his own,and his own recieved him not. 12. But as many as recieved him,to them gave he power to become the sons of God,even to them that believe on his name

yeah! that is why jesus visited other parts of the world!

ubl6: My God is not a tribal God.

true! he only resides in the kaaba, i mean he has to live somewhere!

onetrack: Not long ago I saw a short, made up diary of some man who dies and goes to Islamic heaven. I wish I could find it again, but it was something like this:

Day 1 in heaven: had relations with several virgins. It was a bit frustrating because they didn't know what they were doing, moving around too much, squealing and knew nothing of oral pleasure.

Day 7: these virgins don't learn ANYTHING. The very next time it is the same thing all over again, moving around, unable to get into a rhythm, no sense of how to pleasure a man. It's ridiculous that they never gain any experience. Where are the sluts? Maybe I can take a field trip to the other place?

Year 1: I don't know if I can take this any longer. These virgins are boring me to tears but I can't do anything about it. I'm stuck with this for eternity, day after day. The wine would be a nice diversion but wine in heaven does not cause intoxication.

Year 10: Is it possible to commit suicide in heaven, because I see no other way out of this.....

lmao!

plaetton: Yeah.
I wonder if that is a plus or minus in the god-magic-thinking world.

definately a minus.

They went to the crusade to save their souls but lost their lives!

Animals have sex too. is there a "spiritual" side to animals romping too?!!

shevon: The truth be told, life outside the Bank is blissful. Abeg, if you get option walk away except you get god-father whey go hasten your promotion to top management level.

Very true, I have senior colleagues in my bank who have not been promoted in the past 12yaears. The thing is banking puts you in a box and if you are not courageous you will not leave that box. Until they boot you out to face reality.

Codedboy95: ctrl + c and ctrl + p. kip it up ode oshe!!

ctrl+p = print not paste

ifedayogal: he chose to.b blind for reasons knwn to him

yeah right! smh

OP is just so hilarious. divepen are you a comedian?!

The OP chronicled my life as a moslem (now 100% atheist) i recall changing from my arabic first name to my yoruba middle name immediately i left secondary school. all my duas and intentions b4 salat were also said in yoruba. A lot of muslims have been brainwashed to believe that arabic is "golden" that it is the most beautiful language in the world. if you want to know the extent of this print BULL SH*T in arabic on a paper and try to burn that paper in a market in sokoto or kano.

Fxwarrior: Even in the Secular world ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

Me desperate?You seem to have mistaken me for someone else.

Some things are beyond our comprehension but that doesn't mean it's impossible.If I give you the components of a computer.I doubt you can fix them together and make them work but give it to an expert.Things happen.

Psalm 14:1 A fool says in his heart,there's no God. ..
You have the right to believe whatever you wish to believe doesn't necessarily make it right nor correct.

Human beings are not meant to live forever but will die one day surely.Prepare your arguments to face your creator with but know that fear and trembling shall it be when you stand before the judgement seat before an Angel.Is his name written in the Book of Life?
NO!
You will be catapulted into hell.Remember this day.Remember what you were told but you laughed it off

Alas!Heat.Burning fire.Maggots eating up the flesh.demons laughing at you.Terrible pains.Forever it is,endless it is but it's too late then.The demons care nothing about your logic.

I have been in many near death situations but it took prayers of saints to save me.Woe betide me if I come here and tell you there's no God!I must be mad to even think it.The stars ,moon and sun and creation testify to the existence of God.Praise the Lord!

ok we will repent immediately.
