toyosi20188:Yes it is. That is partly why God gave the gift of apologetics: to protect those who want to be protected from the lies of the enemy. It's also why I advise that each person restrict themselves to their own gifts. Just being a Christian in this world is dangerous enough. Fighting spiritual battles that you are not trained or equipped for on top of that can cost you more than you can afford to pay. |

LordReed:That is the definition of the problem, isn't it? I am a liar because I say things about God that you don't believe or, more correctly, don't want to believe. |
Re: How Attending Xperience13 Turned Me From An Atheist To A Believer by LordReed(m): 5:44pm On Dec 15, 2018 |
Ihedinobi3: No that's not it. From my experience, not sure about others, you make up stuff about what I said just to score cheap points or whatever your motive is. The things you say about god I don't characterize as lies even though I think they are fairy tales. |
Re: How Attending Xperience13 Turned Me From An Atheist To A Believer by Ihedinobi3: 5:51pm On Dec 15, 2018 |
LordReed:I think that you know that the above is not true at all. In all of our conversations, you made a point of accusing me of making things up to explain the Bible. Even what you say here is contradictory. You certainly don't believe that fairy tales are true, so why would you not by thinking of what I say as fairy tales not thereby characterize them as lies? As for making up things about what you say, our conversations are not hidden. |

Ihedinobi3: A Fairytale is not a lie. That's like saying Cinderella is a lie. Its a story, end of. This is how it begins, you take what I say, twist it to fit whatever narrative you want then say oh I am the one with the problem. I clearly said I don't consider what you say about god lies but here you are attempting to twist something that is clearly stated. Why do you do such things? |
Re: How Attending Xperience13 Turned Me From An Atheist To A Believer by toyosi20188(m): 6:09pm On Dec 15, 2018 |
If there is one thing that I've learnt today, it is the 'evolution' of man to become 'logically conscious and emotionally strong'. The agnostics and atheists here view belief in the existence of GOD as a logical impairment and faith in Him is portrayed as weakness. Every man now inclines upon his understanding and the Word of GOD is regarded as fraud. This fulfils the prophecy that men shall be lovers of themselves and that iniquity shall abound due to the love of many waxing cold in the last days. I pray GOD will have mercy on us. |

LordReed:We have another fancy name for fairy tales: fiction. Meaning: stories that are not true. If something is not true, it is false. You are not expected to believe something that you have been flat out told is a lie. Now when someone tells you something claiming that it is in fact true and you say that it is fiction/fairy tale, why is it twisting what you say if they say that you called what they said a lie? I honestly don't understand what the big deal is here. I don't see why there should be any problem that you consider what I say about God to be lies. You are an atheist. You reject the Gospel and Christ. What does it matter if it is said that you consider the Bible a lie? Is it not your default position? |

Ihedinobi3: SEND YOUR PRAYERS TO SICK AND STARVING KIDS, TO THOSE TERRORIZED BY HERDSMEN, AND OTHERS IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS. WE THE "ENLIGHTENED" DON'T NEED YOUR PRAYERS. WE NEED ONLY ONE THING AND NO SINGLE RELIGION EVER HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE IT. WE NEED EVIDENCE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF YOUR FAVORITE DEITY, NOT PRAYERS, THREATS AND BIBLE VERSES, WHICH ARE ALL WE'VE BEEN GETTING FOR CENTURIES. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: How Attending Xperience13 Turned Me From An Atheist To A Believer by Ihedinobi3: 8:17pm On Dec 15, 2018 |
LordReed:No, getting through with reason. I cannot for the life of me comprehend the degree to which you have blinded yourself. You are seriously calling it "twisting and turning" that I say that a fairy tale is necessarily a lie? What? How is this even a problem? Anyway, have it your way. It makes no difference to me what you choose to believe. |

toyosi20188:Yes . No preaching, no tithe, no commandments. I am and the sun is. The sun is not like the meddlesome jehovah. It might sound strange to you but the sun has been venerated from ancient times and rightly so in my opinion. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ihedinobi3: You simple want to call fairy tales lies because it fits your narrative. People tell all sorts of fairytales everyday but you don't hear people call them lies. They are stories very simply. But no Ihedinobi wants to call them lies so that you can nail me to the wall. Your attempt is clear and I already said that is how you operate. We know that's how you operate. LMFAO! |

toyosi20188:I just don't like the feeling! For that same reason I don't allow myself get carried away by emotions when I'm in the church. Perhaps that is why I never fall under "anointing" |

Jman06: Yep. Its almost a form of self hypnosis where you accept a certain pattern of behavior because it is affirming of your beliefs but the effect is generated by you. Its amazing in someways, I wish psychologists could study the phenomenon in depth. 2 Likes |

Mujtahida:The Catholic Church branded him a heretic just as they did many disciples of Christ who had the Holy Spirit and deep spiritual understanding of scriptures. The Catholic Church is like Islam, nothing to hold on to spiritually and when you come up with what they don't know, they term you a heretic. I have the Holy Spirit, and i read the Bible, and i can confidently tell you that Swedenborg's writings are next to the Bible. Besides, if you are not a Bible student, you won't be able to understand a word from what he writes. His writings are not for the Spiritually lazy. |

Mujtahida:Are you a Christian? Do you have the Holy Spirit? Have you really read the Holy Bible? And, have you read True Christianity to know if his interpretation of Christianity is unorthodox? Yes, he will be called a Heretic by the Catholic Church which ruled the world in his days becos, he called them out as idol worshippers. He turned men to Jesus instead of Mary. He condemned them for teaching 3 persons in one God. He condemned them for worshipping saints and images. Yes, in his days, the catholic Church will kill anyone who did not agree with their Athanasian Creed. The Creed that made God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three divisible entities so that they can have gabs to bring in other gods like their Mary. He says there's only One God and His name is Jesus. YHWH, Jesus, Holy Spirit are the same entity manifesting differently, for this he was termed a heretic. Plsssssssss. |

HardMirror: Something happened recently that solidified this for me. I made an application for something at the office. The secretary that forwarded it called me later to tell me I made several errors on the application and that it might be denied, I said well whatever I'll write it again if it was denied for the errors. When i was still a christian i would have been disturbing myself praying for favour in the sight of god and men, lol. On Friday I was told it was approved and the letter that conveyed the approval even carried one of the errors, I just laughed. 3 Likes 1 Share |
