cornelboy: How did mankind develop those laws in the first place? No input from conscience, intuition or morals, but all input from religion abi? Tell me another joke. 1 Like |

OkCornel:The laws in Nigeria today, do you know anything about how they established them? Should we follow laws set by some certain people or should we follow our personal intuition and conscience? You haven't still and questions about your God |

cornelboy: If we wanna have a meaningful discussion, you have to tell me the name of your God and how you knew about him. What are his plans for his creation? Don't he or she have any set of rules for us in other to live peacefully among one another? They are always the one to determine meaningful discussion. It is not meaningful because he didn't allow you to peddle your lies and manipulations here 1 Like 1 Share |

cornelboy: If you were half as clever as you think you are, you’d have figured out by now I threw you a bone which you’ve swallowed hook, line and sinker. You are more interested in the “God” I believe in rather than the subject matter at hand. Abeg shift. 1 Like 2 Shares |

OkCornel:So have you answered the question? "Where did you get the info that 'intuition, knowledge and knowledge are sufficient' from?" I was trying to know whether you got the idea from your God. That's why I have been asking who God is and how did you know him? If you're saying we should all follow our personal intuition, knowledge and conscience, it's same as an atheist that claims there's no God. So who's your God, how did you know him? |

cornelboy: Just read the bolded part of your message and ask yourself if you made any iota of sense in what you just wrote. What is the logical connection between following one’s intuition and conscience with an atheist claiming there’s no God? Oh wait, only atheists have conscience and intuition abi?

OkCornel:It makes sense to me. Living by our individual intuition, conscience and knowledge is the same thing atheist do. So if you say we don't need religion before we differentiate between right and wrong, it's same as saying we don't need God. Perhaps it requires a lot of sense to understand what I'm saying. Surprisingly you claim that you believe in the creator, so who's this creator and how did you know him ?? |
Re: Why Do We Have So Many Religious Centres, Yet Remain A Highly Corrupt Country? by OkCornel(m): 3:40pm On Sep 25, 2023 |
cornelboy: Ehya, so by your logic - Apostle Paul was referring to the gentiles as atheists here right? Romans 2 v 14-16; 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

OkCornel: Considering the few encounter I have with this particular one. What I know about them for sure is the urge to manipulate and peddle lies. Here is why? Your opening salvo states....... A character deficit, morally bankrupt nation. To be good or bad is a function of choice, not religious beliefs. You see him come running back to first manipulate your point then start adding his lies gradually. What religion was in place when Abel and Cain did what they did. What religious organization or laws of a nation developed then defined what Abel did as good and what Cain did as bad then? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

cornelboy: You now have to ask more irrelevant questions to perpetrate your lies, the base point was..... A character deficit, morally bankrupt nation. To be good or bad is a function of choice, not religious beliefs. See how the Bible support his point first and stop asking whether Paul has a religion or not. That Paul has a religion or not didn't remove the fact that Paul believed some people do good or bad without religious belief. Get that into your lying and manipulating brains 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Manofsteel2013: That one called cornelboy trying to manipulate people here thinking OkCornel don't know what he is saying. Look at the experience related by one of their religious leaders housed in USA saying......... I will tell you one ah, one thing that ah, one story that happened to me when I was serving in the Philippines, one day a couple of young brothers came to my office in the Service Department and they reported that, ah, they were very very concerned about, ah, cardboard boxes and tin cans that were disappearing from the kitchen. Now, I mean, I thought that was so ridiculous. You know, in America we have tin cans and and cardboard boxes piled up everywhere and nobody's the least bit concerned about it. But, ah, so I was kind of dismissive of these brothers. But they were, there were not about to let me go, you know. They they continued. They were persistent. And finally, after they explained themselves several times I finally got the sense of what they were saying. You see, in the Philippines, those cardboard boxes and tin cans could be sold for money. And some of the brothers actually, sadly, had become involved in kind of an improper business arrangement whereby they were selling these things and benefitting personally from the arrangement You can see this particular situation happened inside where they call Bethel - house of God yet people working inside the so called "house of God" are doing shady deals behind the employer who employed them When OkCornel said..... A character deficit, morally bankrupt nation. To be good or bad is a function of choice, not religious beliefs. That liar and manipulator was peddling lies manipulations about religion and God 2 Likes 2 Shares

cornelboy: Satan has really done an excellent work with false religions. With the atrocities committed in the name of RELIGION most people now feel it's better to be themselves without associating with any known religion, they feel it's needless associating with people who can still hurt you one way or the other so they have concluded that there's no reason to be religious. Satan is really smart o! However these are few things to consider: Was Jesus targeting a group of perfect humans? How does he feel when his closest confidants fail to stand firm in the things he taught them? Was he comfortable being himself since his friends are sinners and imperfect? Did he acknowledged his imperfect friends as his REAL brothers and sisters in faith? Sincere answers to these questions will help honest hearted and sincere individuals! 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Ken4Christ: You have made a lot of points that I agree with. But let's talk about Materialism. That has been the greatest undoing of True religion. The minute the church started preaching "wealth" or "financial prosperity" as the evidence of serving God or living a holy life, a lot changed. |
