Tinkuzia:Tinkuzia what or how did you treat it? |
I don't know if this is a medical condition or not, but I've always known myself to use only one of my nostrils to breathe. I've been puzzled about it because it feels weird to make use of only one nostril when God provided me with two. Another funny thing about this phenomenon is the effective nostril always switches. Today, only the left nostril is working, tomorrow, the left nostril is clogged and the right one opens up. In all of these, I don't experience any breathing distress though. Does anyone also experience this or is it strange? |
docjosh:thanks docjosh, but there are actually people that claim they utilize both of their own nostrils in breathing. I feel body with 2 parts should work together to maximize their effect, just like the 2 eyes do. |

Legbo6:I agree with you on that point. its totally wrong and inhumane to mock or joke about what another believes in when we've not taken time to try and understand their stance. sadly, many Christians are guilty of this. its true Jesus spoke of the coming of another. but he wasn't speaking in parables. he was clear of who was to come: the Holy Spirit. (John 14:15-117). he also spoke of this individual's power and work in us in vs 17 "He will be in you". for that to be possible, this individual has to be a Spirit- which is the Holy Spirit/the Spirit of God. Jesus also says this Spirit of God would never leave or forsake us. If Jesus was speaking of Mohamed, that means after Mohamed's death, man is abandoned and has no other person from God to turn to. I don't mean to discredit any prophet, I just want to be open-minded based on the teachings of both books. I've read stories of both men (Jesus and Mohammad), yet Mohamed depicts quite a variance from Jesus, both in speech and in character (I really don't need to go into the details). It causes one to think how Jesus would send us someone so different from himself. From all I've learned, I've seen that Jesus stands out from other religious giants of ancient and present times (Mohamed, Buddha, Confucius, Gandhi e.t.c) . He is different because, many of these men points us to wisdom, rules and truths to follow that would lead to life, but Jesus wasn't pointing us to any words or rules. He constantly pointed man to HIMSELF. He personalized himself as The TRUTH, THE LIFE and THE ONLY WAY to God. None of these men claimed to be divine/God, but Jesus claimed severally of being one with the Father. The bible shows Jesus as the apex of all prophets and kings of old and we can see how he proved himself by the miraculous works he did (some of which were attested by the Quran and other historical records). yet, If Jesus spoke of Mohamed as the one to come, God's plan would seem so anti-climatic if you compare the miracles done and words spoken by both men |
urahara:think again. you'll realize you bother about it because the truth is too close to you for comfort. and I assure you, you'll keep bothering about this same Jesus because he is the truth for eternity. anyways, you have the right to believe what you want but you'll have to answer for yourself for willfully believing wrong. |
please does anyone know how much it would cost to buy the screen of a blackberry 9850 torch 3? |
ItuExchange:I wouldn't agree entirely that 'Christians' specifically suffer. I believe every human, regardless of our religious views, go through good and bad times in life. The only specific suffering attributed to a Christian from the bible is suffering because of your belief in Christ which the world may not accept. Every other suffering is ubiquitous to all men. yet, the difference for the christian is that he has God to depend on in such times |
Ever heard atheists argue that there just is not enough evidence to prove the existence of God? Some go as far as saying "God is omnipresent and is everywhere, then show me God in order to believe he exists". Well, the bible says God is a Spirit so I can't literally show you God (I haven't seen him either) but that doesn't prove that he doesn't exist. Simply because I can't show you air doesn't mean that it doesn't exist in the room you occupy right now. However, I can show you the influence of this 'invisible' air when it knocks down a 'visible' object or flips open the pages of a book. here is an attempt to candidly show that God has made himself evident for man to perceive. 1. God reveals Himself through nature If you are a nature-lover or have ever taken the time to appreciate the beauty of the natural world around you, you can see the handiwork that points to an incredibly intelligent creator and designer. Look at the beauty of the sunset, the awe you experience watching the earth's polar lights in the sky (aurora), the glory of the night sky with all the stars, the dawning of the day with the blades of grass glistening like diamonds as the sunlight bounces off tiny water droplets of dew, you would ask yourself questions like "would mindless and impersonal physical forces or a chain of chance-like events need or care to make something this beautiful that man can appreciate?" One would have to be willfully ignorant to attribute all the intricacies found in nature to random chaotic events. A close look at nature reveals an intricate level of design that points undeniably to an intelligent Designer (Psalms 19:1-4). Nevertheless, some still live in denial. 2. Our Planet Earth. The perfection of the Earth in relation to it's support of the billions of life in it never seizes to amaze. Earth is the only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal and human life. This is attributed to it's perfect size and corresponding gravitational pull which causes it to be able to hold the right amount of oxygen and nitrogen adequate for life. If the earth were larger, it would contain an unreasonable amount of free hydrogen in its atmosphere. If it were smaller, it may not have an atmosphere large enough to protect the planet from solar and cosmic radiations from space. Still think this is co-incidence ? Let's look at the Earth's position in space as well. NASA places the diameter of our solar system at a humongous 288,000,000,000 km. Dispersed within this wide space are 8 planets (including Earth). The distance from Earth to the sun is at about 150,000,000 km which is the perfect distance for Earth to be inhabitable. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would freeze. Any closer and we would burn up. With 8 planets dispersed within such a wide range of our solar system's diameter, you can calculate for yourself the probability of luckily finding a planet at that exact distance from the sun (that is not too far and not too close), then you decide for yourself if we were just ridiculously lucky or it was placed there by intent. Even a fractional variance in the Earth's position to the sun would make life on Earth impossible. The Earth remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis, allowing the entire surface of the Earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day. 3. Complexity of living organisms From all I learned in biology classes, it would require an unreasonable level of faith to believe that highly complex biochemical reactions like oxidation phosphorylation, photosynthesis, enzymatic breakdown of ingested food, our amazing immune system, transmission of nervous impulses through the body, e.t.c, resulted out of mere chance. Even if I came into the world yesterday, I can't look at the twin towers and attribute them to forces of nature, thinking to myself "the wind, after several years, must have pushed all these blocks into place". These are amazingly complex and inter-linked reactions going on in us daily of which I'm sure that the best of scientists can't think up or create such a system so complex and independent. Still, scientists wouldn't admit the intelligence behind these processes. Let's look at blood clot formation for example. The reason why animal's don't bleed out till death after they get a cut is simply because of this complexly designed process. A cascade of events involving 12 different factors ensues when a blood vessel is broken. This linked events all lead to the formation of a clot at the site of bleeding in order to occlude the opening in the vessel. If just 1 of these 12 factors were missing, blood clot formation would be impossible and it would be a normal phenomenon for one to bleed to death after having an accident as minor as a paper cut. Yet all 12 factors (not 7,8 or 11) are currently present in the blood to initiate this reaction when needed. What's even more amazing is that these factors are present in your blood as you read this, yet they don't start forming the clots within the blood vessels because that would potentially kill you. They only initiate this process when you have a cut. That's just amazing if you ask me. This is just an example out of thousands of intelligent systems in nature. Do you really think such systems were built by chance or a highly intelligent being? 4. Theist Scientists Most atheists often have this wrong ideology of "God VS Science". This is totally absurd because God himself is a scientist (the best at that) as we've seen in the above mentioned points. God made all scientific and universal laws and was in fact scientific in all his creation. God was actually leaving clues of his existence by showing his brilliance and intelligence in the works of nature and his intent was for man to search them out and acknowledge him (Proverbs 25:2). Many of the smartest human geniuses that have worked the earth were theist. These were really smart people who had knowledge of scientific laws and based most of their works on facts and scientific evidences. Yet, they didn't think it foolish to believe in a superior intelligent being. Why? Because they couldn't help but recognize God's signatures dispersed in the details along the quest of their research works. Some of these theist scientists include: Gregor Mendel, Galileo Galilei, Louis Pasteur, Michael Faraday, Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal and even famous Albert Einstein to name a few. The more we go deeper in scientific discoveries, the more of God we see. It's however unfortunate and sad that most current scientists have refused to acknowledge this glaring truth (2 Corinthians 4:4). 5. God exists because he impresses this fact in the heart of men The bible says the truth of God has been made known to man instinctively, for God put this knowledge in their hearts. Yet, some push the truth away from themselves (Romans 1:18,19). This shows that God made it unavoidable for man to see or feel his existence. God did not leave us to wander alone, aimlessly hoping that somehow we would stumble across the truth, which He intends for us to recognize. God wants us to find Him; therefore, He reaches out to us. Sometimes you wonder why the atheist goes through so much trouble just to discredit the bible or refute the idea that a God he doesn't even believe in exists. The atheist probably doesn't yet realize that the reason the topic of God weighs so heavily on his mind is simply because God is impressing it. God wants to be known. He made man unique from other creatures with the intent that we would seek and know him. He not only surrounded us with evidence of himself but He keeps the question of his existence squarely before us. God is presently nudging the hearts of people so that they might realize their sinful condition, the inevitable coming judgment, and their need of a Savior (John 16:8-11). The underlying reason atheists are bothered by people believing in God is because God is actively seeking them. I know many atheist would go through this post in order to refute the ideas highlighted, but I'm not here to disprove atheism. I'm just here to cause the reader to really think for himself in an unbiased and neutral manner on these things. Regardless of what you may have heard, the truth the bible teaches is that God intensely loves you unconditionally. He is not going to love you more if you convert to a believer. He already loves you intensely, that's why he was willing to come in form of man and personally receive the punishment on the cross for the sins you've committed in the past or would ever commit in the future (John 3:16; Romans 5:3-8 ). The misconception that God punishes people in hell because they sin or refuse to love him is not the truth of the bible. Rather, the bible teaches that though we are guilty of many sins, God justifies us anyways and gives us eternal life if we accept and receive it through faith in Christ's sacrifice (Romans 5:16). The reason why anyone would go to hell fire is not because of this person's numerous sins. No!, it has been established that everyone (including the Christian) is born a sinner and commits sin. Yet, People are only judged guilty because they refused to receive the justification and eternal life freely given to them by Christ. It would really be shameful and agonizingly regretful to see yourself in hell not because you were morally the worst person on earth, but because you were too prideful to receive the gift of life that was already given to you freely by Christ. Choose life today if you haven't. God loves you. |
omadaa:maybe you should re-read the bolded in your post and see how ironical you sound. unless you don't understand what blogging entails I'm also not sure you'll simply relax and neglect a threat against your life and well-being because you consider it 'an empty threat'. someone revealing his evil intentions against you surely would make you feel insecure. you can't tell whats in the mind of the person. |
cloudgoddess:like i said, the answers you gave are impractical speculations from scientists without any actual evidence. they are just bent on pushing God out of the picture of creation. forget about the labels and authors on the site. aren't these practical questions you should ask yourself about this whole theory thing? you failed to disprove the points laid by the author but went straight to attack the author. that's not debate. disprove the flaws he highlighted and with clear scientific evidence. you failed to answer the other questions i raised in ur thread as well. i've read scientific sites as well and the evidences they gave to back evolution were flawed in all the points mentioned above. The strongest evidence they say they have is the discovery of fossils, yet they have no claim of finding transitional fossils as depicted in this post. I don't mean to spite anyone but the evolution theory is quite ridiculous. the summary of the evolution/abiogenesis theory is: time + chance + space = everything. that's attributing causative power to time or to chance or to space. Those factors on their own or combined have no power to create anything. It’s like saying 0 + 0 + 0 = everything. If there was a point in the universe when there was absolutely no life, then absolutely no life would exist now. |
What is the basic message of Islam? https://www.nairaland.com/3037972/muslims-only-what-basic-message/1#44764917 |
Buharism:exactly!! the bolded is the backbone of Christian faith. because we can't really keep all the laws (even if we tried our best), there comes a need for a saviour who can deliver from the penalty of sins. that's where Jesus comes in |
cloudgoddess:i made this thread solely for you. react to it. https://www.nairaland.com/3052569/ten-major-flaws-evolution-theory |
1. The complexity of living systems could never evolve by chance—they had to be designed and created. A system that is irreducibly complex is one in which all the components work together and are essential to perform the system’s basic function. (A mousetrap is a simple example.) It is not possible to build such a system gradually, one component at a time, since it cannot function unless all components are present. Many living systems exhibit such irreducible complexity (e.g vision, blood clotting, etc.). When you look at a watch, you assume there was a watchmaker. A watch is too complex to “happen” by chance. Yet living systems are vastly more complex than a watch. Darwin considered this fact one of the most serious challenges to his theory of evolution. The magnitude of this challenge has increased exponentially since Darwin’s time as the details of living systems have been uncovered down to and below the level of the cell. The incredible machinery of life exists in networks so complex and interdependent that they could not have arisen gradually or through random chance – they simply had to be designed and created. 2. The high information content of DNA could only have come from intelligence. According to information science, information can only be produced by intelligence. Highly complex information must originate from a highly intelligent source. DNA is by far the most compact and complex information storage/retrieval system known. A pinhead-sized amount of DNA has a billion times more information capacity than a 4-gigabit hard drive, can contain multiple copies of all the information necessary to build and maintain things as complex as the human brain and body, and is self-replicating. However, the proponents of evolution believe that random chance, not intelligence, gave rise to all of the information found in DNA. Ironically, evolutionary scientists involved in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project search the sky with massive radio telescopes, hoping to detect even simple patterns in radio signals which might be a sign of otherworldly intelligence, all the while ignoring the clear evidence of intelligence built into the incredibly complex DNA patterns of every living creature right here on Earth. 3. Mutations do not increase information, as required by evolution. Mutations are thought to drive evolution, but they cannot increase information. Mutations can only change DNA by deleting, damaging, duplicating, or substituting already existing information. The vast majority of mutations are harmful or have no apparent effect. Over 100 years of fruit fly experiments have clearly demonstrated that mutations only result in normal, dead, or grotesquely deformed fruit flies – they are still fruit flies! Even mutations which are in some way beneficial (such as antibiotic resistance in bacteria or wingless beetles on windy islands) result from the loss of information. This is the opposite of the vast increase in information required to get from amoeba to man, as proposed in the theory of evolution. 4. Natural Selection is conservative, not creative. The concept of natural selection was originally developed by natural theologians, who thought that it worked to preserve distinct created types. Darwin argued that natural selection, if given enough time, could actually create new types. However, field and laboratory observations of natural selection in action confirm that it only changes the relative abundance of certain already-existing characteristics, and doesn’t create new ones. For example, Darwin observed that the average beak size of finches increased in dry years, but later observers noted that this trend reversed in wet years. This is very different than the kind of changes that would be required to transform a finch beak into some other structure or a finch into a completely different kind of animal. In other words, scientific studies of natural selection demonstrate, without exception, that Darwin was wrong. 5. There is a total lack of undisputed examples (fossilized or living) of the millions of transitional forms required for evolution to be true. If evolution were true, we should be surrounded by a zoo of transitional forms that cannot be categorized as one particular life form. But we don’t see this—there are different kinds of dogs, but all are clearly dogs. The fossils show different sizes of horses, but all are clearly horses. None is on the verge of being some other life form. The fossil record shows complex fossilized life suddenly appearing, and there are major gaps between every major “kind” of life. Darwin acknowledged that if his theory were true, it would require millions of transitional forms. He believed they would be found in fossil records. They haven’t been. 6. Pictures of ape-to-human “missing links” are extremely subjective and based on evolutionists’ already-formed assumptions. Often they are simply contrived. The series of pictures or models that show progressive development from a little monkey to modern man are an insult to scientific research. These are often based on fragmentary remains that can be “reconstructed” a hundred different ways. Many supposed “ape-men” are very clearly apes, and most fossils hailed with much fanfare as “missing links” are later quietly reclassified as simply extinct varieties of non-human primates. Evolutionists now admit that other so-called “ape-men” were fully human. The body hair and the blank expressions of the supposedly primitive humans in these models don’t come from the bones, but from the evolutionary assumptions of the artist. Virtually nothing can be determined about hair and the look in someone’s eyes based on a few old bones. The “missing links” are still missing. 7. The radioactive dating methods that evolutionists use to assign millions and billions of years to rocks are based on questionable assumptions and give unreliable results. Dating methods that use radioactive decay to determine a rock’s age assume that the original amounts of parent and daughter isotopes can be accurately estimated, that no isotopes moved into or out of the rock after its formation (closed system), and that radioactive decay rates have always been constant. However, the original amounts of parent and daughter isotopes can rarely be estimated with reasonable accuracy. In addition, it is commonly acknowledged that hydrothermal fluids (hot, mineral-rich water) often transport both parent and daughter isotopes from one rock to another, invalidating the closed system assumption. In fact, this process is often cited as a reason for rejecting dates that don’t fit the evolutionary timeline. What is not commonly known is that radioactive dating methods usually give a number of different results for the same formation and often even for the same rock! In practice, geologists choose the “correct” age from among these different results based on the age expected from the evolutionary timeline. This is a classic case of circular thinking! Also, different methods give different results, with heavier isotopes consistently giving older ages than lighter isotopes for the same rock. This pattern should not exist if radioactive decay rates have always been the same. Furthermore, lava flows with known historical ages often date as millions or even billions of years old. If radioactive dating methods can be off by so much for rocks of known age, how can they be considered reliable for rocks of unknown age? 8. “Leftover” body structures are not evidence for evolution. Evolutionists point to vestigial organs (supposedly “leftover” body structures with no know function) as evidence of evolution. However, it’s impossible to prove that an organ is useless, because there’s always the possibility that a use may be discovered in the future. In fact, over 100 organs formerly thought of as vestigial are now known to perform essential functions. Scientists continue to discover uses for such organs and only a small number are still considered vestigial. It is increasingly clear that vestigial organs are not the result of evolution but simply examples of scientific ignorance. It’s also worth noting that even if an organ were no longer needed (e.g., eyes of blind creatures in caves), it would prove devolution not evolution. Proponents of evolution need to provide examples of developing organs that are not yet fully functional but can be shown to be increasing in complexity with each succeeding generation. No such examples exist. 9. Evolution is said to have begun by spontaneous generation—a concept ridiculed by biology. When I was a sophomore in high school, and a brand new Christian, my biology class spent the first semester discussing how ignorant people used to believe that garbage gave rise to rats, and raw meat produced maggots. This now disproven concept was called “spontaneous generation.” Louis Pasteur proved that life only comes from life—this is the law of biogenesis. The next semester we studied evolution, where we learned that the first living cell came from a freak combination of nonliving material (where that nonliving material came from we were not told). “Chemical Evolution” is just another way of saying “spontaneous generation”—life comes from nonlife. Evolution is therefore built on a fallacy science long ago proved to be impossible. Evolutionists admit that the chances of evolutionary progress are extremely low. Yet, they believe that given enough time, the apparently impossible becomes possible. If I flip a coin, I have a 50/50 chance of getting heads. To get five “heads” in a row is unlikely but possible. If I flipped the coin long enough, I would eventually get five in a row. If I flipped it for years nonstop, I might get 50 or even 100 in a row. But this is only because getting heads is an inherent possibility. What are the chances of me flipping a coin, and then seeing it sprout arms and legs, and go sit in a corner and read a magazine? No chance. Given billions of years, the chances would never increase. Great periods of time make the possible likely but never make the impossible possible. No matter how long it’s given, non-life will not become alive. 10. The scientific method can only test existing data—it cannot draw conclusions about origins. There are two types of science. Operational science deals with the present, and arrives at conclusions based on repeated observations of existing phenomena. Historical science deals with the past, which is not repeatable. Investigations of origins clearly fall within the scope of historical science, and therefore cannot draw definitive conclusions. Since no man was there to record or even witness the beginning, conclusions must be made only on the basis of interpreting presently available information. This interpretation is greatly influenced by one’s prior beliefs. If I put on rose-colored glasses, I will always see red. I accept the Bible’s teaching on creation, and see the evidence as being consistently supportive of that belief. When dealing with origins, everyone who believes anything does so by faith, whether faith in God, the Bible, themselves, modern science, or the dependability of his own subjective interpretations of existing data. I would rather put my faith in God’s revealed Word. By Randy Alcorn, John Darnall http://www.epm.org/resources/2010/Oct/3/ten-major-flaws-evolution-revised/ |
Visitor700:who is his messenger? |
Buharism:I once watched a video of a woman who converted from Islam and she said that the violent and extreme Islamist who kill are not actually trying to be bad people. they are just trying to be good Islams and follow what the quaran teaches. that got me thinking. would the quaran really approve the murder of people in order to enforce belief? |
Annunaki: |
cloudgoddess:i don't mean to debate about this anymore but you write as tho evolution is so practical and holds no question marks all around it at all, that it has enough evidence to stand as a fact. as far as am concerned you've not given practical answers to the few (out of the many) questions I raised about evolution. you say humans are not the apex of evolution? really!?!? that's not what your evolution theory teaches. cos what you are saying is probably man consequently evolved to some of those creatures you mentioned- the killer whales and the lions, because they obviously have larger and stronger anatomical structures. you also talked about man having a more developed pre-frontal cortex and that evolution occurs due to the push of the environment on the organisms. I would appreciate you just point out one environmental factor that would induce ape-like organisms to have a need for a more developed pre-frontal cortex. what environmental factor pushed this apes to want to get smarter? Abiogenesis/evolution whatever you call it, they both have the same aim, to disprove that an intelligent and supreme creator had a hand in the creation of all things. that nature on its own would jump start, create and build life spontaneously without any external help. Fallacies i call em. we have observed it over and over, nature doesn't build on its own, rather things degrade naturally and loose quality over time. you can't tell me that all the evolutionist want to answer is the diversification of this species without understanding how it started in the first place. thats just like coming to make conclusions by watching a movie from the middle without watching how it all started from the beginning. you have to know where what you are analyzing came from in the first place. In summary, All evolutionist believe in your abiogenesis theory. I also understand that the environment can push changes in cells because life that exists would try all its best to adapt to the external adverse factors that arise. (note that the tools it uses to fight were given to it by this intelligent creator who noted all these adverse principles around the cell) yet scientists have given these cells too much credit and exaggerated this cellular adaptation because we know cells can only go so far to a point in fighting for existence before it is overwhelmed and gives in. I'm a believer but I sincerely have no problem with science. in fact, from the little I've learnt from science, i can just see the pride in so-called scientists that are atheists. scientists should be the strongest believers becos they get to see the complexity of life itself and its consequent existence, that's enough proof of a superior intelligent creator governing the universe. you would agree with me that the factors that could say a big "NO" to life existing are listless, yet we are here today and some scientist comes to tell me that based on his calculations he attributes all these to chance? I think not. |
sonofthunder:i'm sure you have an opinion on the topic. what is your opinion?, maybe we'll learn something |
olasesi:okay, cos if doing the will of God is the instruction of the quaran then it may be necessary for one to know each and every one of this laws in order to be able to keep them. the Jewish law believes that even if one law is broken from the 613 laws given then its as good as breaking all 613 cos God expects perfection, in the same way i think its necessary you know all the requirements of the quaran |
olasesi:according to the Jewish law, the bible reveals that there are about 613 laws given by God. Because of Jesus, Christians no longer live by that law tho. is there a specific number of laws laws according to your quaran that Allah expects man to keep?, is there a specific number? |
sonofthunder:I haven't sir. the answers given are somewhat ambiguous and have question marks allover. can you help? |
cloudgoddess:you did well to tell us of evolution with the fruit flies but you failed to tell us whether results were successful. according to what i researched, scientist tried to induce mutation by subjecting this flies to radiation. Yes, genetic mutation occurred, but the offspring or mutants formed don't show the genetic leap the evolution theory proposes, rather malformed flies, some with more than 2 wings and others with more than six legs were formed. so no success yet |
cloudgoddess:there are also questions that arise with the evolution theory. for example, why did evolution come to a stop with man. after several centuries, why didnt we keep evolving and evolving to more superior organisms. after several years of chimpanzees existing, why hasn't any one of them or any other animal for that matter, evolved to a human or a more complex entity respectively. probably that's why it remains at the level of a theory tho. this evolution you speak of has remained as a theory since the 1800's when it was proposed till date of which we have had enormous leaps in science and technology since then. it stands to reason that with our technological prowess, after all that time, this scientist should be able to replicate what their theory states in the lab or in nature in order to remove all doubt. its good u have knowledge about evolution and DNA similarities, but it would also enlighten you more to study and see how almost impossible it is for those light differences between species (that have look-alike DNAs) to transform and bridge the gap of those dissimilarities for e.g chimpanzee to man. the evolution theory assumes that life appeared spontaneously and began to transform itself slowly. thats absurd and requires a lot of faith to believe dear |
philfearon:nothing like Gods ever exist in any bible translation. there are many gods but only one God. don't twist the bible to try to see something that is not there. |
Buharism:what you are saying is, even if I'm an atheist but live a peaceful and sacrificial life, Allah accepts me? |
olasesi:what is the will of God? |
Heyleluh:so if the ulnar nerve is struck we get that funny feeling? |
its not religion that saves, not even the christian religion saves. its simple faith in Christ that saves. sin in the new testament does not refer to sinful acts par-say, it refers to the rejection of Jesus. all men are already under judgement for their sins, but faith in Christ is the only escape from judgement for your sins John 3:18. if you reject Christ, it simply means you accept to receive the judgement for your sins. If you receive Christ, it means you receive freedom from judgement as Christ was already punished for your sins. it has nothing to do with christian/muslim religion. No religion saves |
you know that electric-shock like feeling that shoots through your arm when you incidentally hit a certain part of your elbow against a hard surface? pls someone should explain why that peculiar sensation happens on that part of the body. |
