Reni1:Yes. It is not an evidence for God’s existence. One of the arguments for God’s existence is the life, baptism , death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So many never believed in the historical Jesus Christ. This if confirmed true implies Jesus Christ truly had disciples who worshipped him as claimed by the Bible and who had a church as claimed by the Bible and who were real as claimed by the Bible. By deductive reasoning and backward integration, one could work one’s way backwards to confirm the historical Jesus Christ and his influence through his resurrection on the disciples who were radically changed and emboldened after his resurrection. If this is true, then the arguments for God through Jesus Christ is also valid and stands as one of the evidences for God’s existence. Of course all these historical and intellectual arguments is for the skeptic. They do not form part of the faith of the Christian which purely comes from the Holy Spirit and the Bible and the finished work of Jesus Christ and his atonement death. They only strengthen the faith of a Christian who doubts sometimes. |
kingxsamz:Simplesearch If you post a picture of yourself in over-alls with diggers and shovels from an excavation site in Palestine, we will take you seriously. If you keep gleaning from arguments developed by others and parroting their questions, we will never take you seriously. If you cannot find empirical evidences for Adam and Eve and Methuselah but find archeological data proving 99% of the New Testament texts and historical data is true, and so many historical data concerning many of the Old Testament texts and historical data are also true, then by deductive reasoning and extrapolation, you should know every other thing written in the Bible is true. The consistency of the information provided from Adam and Eve and the creation by God tallies with what we have in other books of the Bible. Have you believed the sections of the Biblical data confirmed by history and archeology? Why have you not believed them? And who says you will believe when archeologist show you same for Adam and Methuselah? |
sulaak:You seem not to know much about what archeologists and historians do? You seem not to understand their invaluable contributions to many things you now know about. Or you think archeology and history is same as Christianity? Na waa for you ooooo |
sulaak:I was waiting to see an empirical evidence from you to show there is no afterlife and no supernatural phenomena. You don’t even have any. Lol So we can tell you to continue dreaming. Hahahaha |
sulaak:You are missing the point. One of the arguments adduced for the existence of God is the life, times, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christian know this to be true. But people like you need academic evidences for your intellectual objections. Historians, archeologists , philosophers, and other scholars have been providing archeological data to support what we already know and what the Bible said. These are additional information coming out that would still be scrutinized by scholars. Note that these were not done in one day. They have been working on it from 2016. If you don’t believe in Jesus Christ but the archeologists show you evidences of his baptism, his life, his death and resurrection and some churches built after him by his disciples, then you only have no reason for your unbelief. Do you get the drift now? |
madridsta007:You summarized it! |
DropsMic:Fallacy. Are they also responsible for the ill administration of Nigeria since 1960 when the locals have been ruling themselves? Is your immediate community an eldorado? I mean there is no imposition of colonialism there. Has your native leaders transformed your location through sound leadership? We leave the speck of wood in our eyes and look for big logs in other people’s. |
pafo:The reasons for their refusal of Jesus’ messages is in the gospel accounts and in Romans and Hebrews. But many of them believed even among the rulers like Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, a woman from the household of Herod, Zacheus, and some sympathizers among the Sanhedrin. |
ictplotter:You could start by telling us why you think you are right and understand the Bible manuscripts better than scholars who developed years of arduous scholarly work researching on ancient manuscripts. And give us your accounts with backed up data from your research. Are you aware most scholars and historians, including the very conservative and very radical ones and atheists believe in the historical Jesus? Are you aware a sizeable number of those also believed in his baptism, works, death and resurrection? Where did you get your facts from? |
Grandmeister:Thank you. Jesus Christ was seen as a rebel who came to turn most things the Jews knew about God and their position with God upside down. That was what they thought. They also thought his disciples preaching his works, death and resurrection were mad people. They could not change the narrative of the disciples because of the evidences of Jesus’ resurrection. Some also thought Paul was mad for preaching Jesus Christ. However there is a small percentage of Jews who are Christians. That changes the fallacious narrative that Jews are not Christians. If only a single Jew is, then the narrative tips in Favour of Christianity. By the way, Christianity is an off-shoot of Judaism and so has so many similarities in Judaism firmly rooted among the Jewish culture. The religious affiliation of the Israeli population as of 2019 was 74.2% Jewish, 17.8% Muslim, 2.0% Christian, and 1.6% Druze. The remaining 4.4% included faiths such as Samaritanism and Baháʼí as well as "religiously unclassified", the category for all who do not belong to one of the recognized communities. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Israel |
Dreytonisback:So you just don’t want Christianity religion. You preferred humanity religion. That makes you just as religious as anyone. By the way, humanity is covered excessively in Christianity. So no need to have a humanity religion that has no regards for God the creator of humans |
ednut1:That’s a fallacy and is unconnected to archeological discoveries and historical data |
eebraa:You have evidences that proved the Bible wrong? |
redsun:Your point? |
kramer:Science was pioneered and developed by many theists who believed that God created all things and gave humans power and ability to conquer the universe using their god-like abilities since they were made in the image of God. The Bible has never been against science neither science against the Bible. The conflict lies in the fact that the Bible said ALL things had their source from God, including the Dinosaurs. No one is arguing about their discoveries or their datings. Science can provide the datings but is at a loss about all origin questions. Please don’t mix these things up. |
Pls is this Nollywood or real? Is it by force to stay in that church? If this were real, she is proud and arrogant. |
Do they plan to adopt a child sired by other males and females? |
insidelife22:Religion isn’t Africa’s problem. Religion isn’t Nigeria’s problem. Tribalism like you pointed out is one of the problems, but tribalism has nothing to do with the issue you are reporting here. The woman doesn’t understand the Bible well. Perhaps the husband too doesn’t understand the Bible well too. What the woman is doing is not what the Bible taught her. Rather she learnt the wrong thing from someone and is also doing the wrong thing. It does appear from your post that her deference is more to the pastor than even what the Bible says. So let the husband practically point out the truth of the scriptures to her and counter her wrong acts. This is also assuming everything you said here is true. |
GOFRONT:Please develop a critical mind. You missed the point. May their souls rest in peace. 1. From The Information Reaching Naija: hear-say Two Men Returning From Night Vigil- they didn’t say church night vigil. Could have been any form of program where one keeps vigil in the night. 3. Said the two men went out to buy cigarette for themselves -from the night vigil? Definitely not coming from a Christian prayer meeting 4...who came for a dangerous mission.- as seen by the eye witnesses? 5.Arm Robbers, Dragged the two men out- out from where? 6... after the men tried to stop them from carrying out their mission in the night- from the vigil or elsewhere? 7. Reported that the exact location were the ugly bad news happened, could not be ascertain as the time of filing this news.—-how? Why is it difficult to say the location even with an eye witness account? |
=106515548:Then you didn’t read my initial post. If you had read it, you would have responded differently |
mayour16:I guess all the banks charge annual fees at the end of the year and withdrawal/transfer fees for debits. I don’t think any charges anything for credits. You may wish to check ease of transactions, online transfers on dom accounts etc. Some banks will allow a certain cash deposit monthly. Some will permit certain limits of transfers monthly. Some will not permit cash deposits. Some may not permit third party deposits. Some have queues for transfers. Some usually run short of cash when you need to withdraw. Those are really the things you should look out for. |
greencard:Tough question. Personally I think an evil spirit cannot live in a child of God and take charge of their lives. Rather I think that demons can hurt, attack and try to frustrate a child of God and may even succeed in doing that. My personal opinion. |
brodalikeme:Okay. Having good tyres are no guarantee for safe trips. Being disciplined is no guarantee for a successful career and business. Having a faithful partner is not a guarantee for a good home. Having clean cups and eating healthy foods are no guarantees for healthy lives. So would you want us to give you all the negatives of those statements so you can have a successful home or career or business or lifestyle? |
Jeromejnr:Lol! Thanks for that. But I want you to look deeper and see the issue isn’t about his money and what he can do or not do. It was a mockery of his position as a man of God. Why should we be bothered about what anyone does with his money? But when leaders who are teaching certain things to the church do something else, they attract public criticism. That is where the public critism comes in. Is that okay now? |
Goel:Ok then. Thanks for conceding that so many had converted from atheism to theism or Hinduism since you aren’t cherry-picking. I hope you won’t twist your statement again. Okay? |
Nanorest:If the story is true, I think this is wrong. If he has money to get all those security details, then he should also have money to live in a big compound where he can exercise away from the public eyes. If this is for his security, then he has inadvertently exposed himself and his worth to the public eyes. |
ahnie:Hahaha! No be only 2 years. Na 50 years e go last nah! Abeg give us your address, let’s add to the number of visitors for you. Seriously my wife likes to iron everything for house including handkerchiefs, singlets , stockings and underwears. And she washes our children clothes frequently even if they just splash water on themselves and remove it or ride bike. She said that was how her mum trained her. Me I grew up in the village. She grew up in the town. I will just be watching our meter regularly as her ironing and washing machine drains the power. She no dey hear word ooo. Said her children cannot behave like me when I was small. Lol She also adds plenty food for visitors. Most times they don’t finish it. Me and her will keep having the discussion until she agrees. Of course I can’t just change someone’s daughter to think like me. If not na so so fight for house everyday. |
Modernizer:Please don’t be scared about marriage. Do your homework well. know the person you want to marry well. Do it the traditional way it was done those days: family members send teams to help investigate families of your to-be spouse and provide feedback. Don’t do surprise marriage of love-at-first-site. You cannot get your marriage working all at once. You are hooking up with someone who had spent up to 25 years or more in a certain background that you cannot just wipe off or reset at will and within a year or 2. You are also coming with your baggage and idiosyncrasies with some acts that your spouse won’t like. It will be hard for any of you to force-change the other to suit their preferences. This is where love, tolerance, patience, and maturity comes in. If you believe in God, you can also pray for his guidance to help your decisions and support you when you are weak. Good marriages exist. So many are enjoying their marriages now. So many will still join tomorrow and enjoy theirs. But don’t think those homes are perfect. They aren’t. If you know there is something you can’t maintain after wedding, pls don’t start now. On temperament, see Tim Lahaye’s simple books on Spirit Controlled Temperament. You can do develop yourself that it would be difficult for anyone to predict your temperament and use it against you. Cheers. |
emmnprince:Thank you. |
NoToPile:You are spot on. We are discussing chastity and there are bringing unrelated illogical issues about ingredients for marital success into it. If someone celebrates their spouses for being faithful, that doesn’t mean that is all there is to marriage. We also know unfaithfulness can harm marital bond. So many wish to have faithful spouses whereas it had remained an illusion in their homes. If I celebrate my children’s honesty, then someone tells me it’s not a guarantee that they will excel in future. I simply ask whether we are discussing factors that will guarantee children’s success in future. We know there are so many factors. Of course honesty is one of the good virtues we wish we could see in everyone including our politicians in Nigeria and Africa. We understand so many people cannot discipline themselves to remain chaste for a long time. They will want to shame anyone who does that. I will like to think that anyone who keeps himself/herself should be proud and their spouses too should be proud. They can go ahead and work on other aspects of their marriage. It’s not as if the lady said chastity is all there is to a successful marriage. I would rather I had a virgin spouse ( I married my wife a virgin too) who possesses other desired qualities for me, than one who possessed all the other qualities but isn’t a virgin. |
Victorclean1:But if you have a virtuous woman, a virgin, an intelligent woman. Isn’t that a plus than having only 2 out of those 3 attributes? The merrier the better. Anyone who keeps their chastity until marriage tried and should be celebrated. We can talk about other features in a home. |
