Brandonx: well said. Before Avicii death, he's had it all. the fame, the properties, the wealth and the ladies. the rush was coming so fast to impress that he was forced to go on more shows and tours taking drugs and alcohols. At that point, he knew the material things he once clamour for were useless to him and just wanted to breath. that was when he started releasing afterlife song like HEAVEN, NIGHT and others. few month before the release of his last Album, dude was found dead in his hotel. same thing happens to Whitney Houston. wealth does not guarantee happiness truly |

costandi: Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. - Luke 18:22-27 'But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness' -1 Timothy 6:6-11 'Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.' -Psalms 62:10 'Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.' -Philippians 4:5 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. - Luke 12:15 Don't choose any vanity. Life is beyond acquiring or lacking stuffs. Moderation is key at this point |

franklytrue:Moderation you say? That is also vanity. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by franklytrue(m): 11:47am On Nov 19, 2020 |
costandi:How is it vanity? What is the meaning of vanity? What then is not vanity in this life? |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by costandi(m): 12:01pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
franklytrue:Everything in this world is vanity. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by franklytrue(m): 12:18pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
costandi: So you mean life God created is vanity? And your life is vanity too? What about life after this world? Is it vanity? Everything outside of God; a relationship with Him who can do and undo, is vanity. He is the everlasting, the Omnipotent and Omniscient God. "O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing." - Psalms 34:8-10 "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." - Psalms 16:11 |

franklytrue:Don't digress! I never referred to life. Everything material is vaniy. Whether you have much, little or in moderation that's my point. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by franklytrue(m): 3:34pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
costandi: Ok...You could have stated it that way then but it is still a rash conclusion to say EVERYTHING MATERIAL is vanity; that which God created? He created and made all these things: the stars, sun, moon, earth and all that is therein, and saw that "it was very good". The food you eat is it vanity? If it is, then you shouldn't eat it or you wouldn't need it to sustain your life. The things God created are good and many are for mutual benefits but we sometimes use then vainly and in a wrong way, that is why moderation is essential and it in itself is not vanity. 'When the purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse is inevitable' God did not create vanity. His creation is not vanity. We can only use them vainly or appropriately [correctly and moderately]. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by costandi(m): 4:41pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
franklytrue:Then nothing is vanity because God created everything. CHECKMATE! Well just to help you, vanity in this context means, 'Having no real or lasting value'. That is why the holy book which you have quoted severally tells us that everything but the word of God will pass away including heaven and earth. Ecclesiastes seconds this by saying, 'All is vanity'. |

Brandonx:Only lunatics are contented with no money. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by Brandonx(m): 6:06pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
HellVictorinho:Well to each his own. I don't pray for anyone to get to that point where money becomes an irritant which brings unnecessary anxiety. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by Nobody: 6:17pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
Brandonx:Money is a necessity. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by Brandonx(m): 6:26pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
HellVictorinho:Yeah it is but it's better to be poor and be happy than to be rich and sad. |

Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by costandi(m): 6:40pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
HellVictorinho:The book yes. The words no! |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by Nobody: 6:49pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
costandi:The words and their arrangements are vanity. In other words,they don't make sense. Most or all religious people say the Gods are mysterious or God is mysterious. But the truth is that the practice of religion makes life more absurd. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by franklytrue(m): 7:27pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
costandi: Ok. And vanity in another context says 'the trait of being unduly vain and conceited; false pride.' All is "vanity" -"useless" so to speak as Davido puts it. That was where I was focusing on. "All is VANITY" (temporal) - The Preacher [All is] "material things" [VANITY] ("...useless" ) - Davido All is VANITY ("having no real or lasting value" ) - you ALL is vanity. The Preacher did not say ONLY "material things" is vanity. Heaven will last forever, so will hell fire. They are not vanities (temporal, useless or having no real or lasting value) Everything [physical] will pass away but God will still make a new heaven and a new earth which will remain forever. But note that this Ecclesiastes Preacher was one who had started going astray from God, marrying strange wives, worshiping other gods, tasting and enjoying many things in life without much restrain and now it had become bland to him, and loosing touch of the true purpose of creation from his Maker's perspective he declared, 'ALL is vanity'. Too much of everything is bad. Neither God nor Jesus ever declared or seconded his statement that ALL (every single thing in this life and beyond) is vanity. That it was quoted by a person in the bible doesn't unarguably make it truth. Was he led by the Spirit of God (the Spirit of Truth) at that time to declare such? What was the condition of his heart at such a time? When the devil lied to Eve that if she ate the fruit she will not surely die as against what God had declared initially, does it mean the devil was saying the truth? No. What was the condition of his heart at such a time? When the devil tempted Jesus to cast himself down and that God will charge His angels to bear him up, that was true scripture but was it the right thing for Jesus to do at that time and tempt God unnecessarily? No. What was the condition of the devil's heart at such a time? Always evil. He has always been a liar and his words in the bible are not to be trusted. When the Pharisees said Jesus had Beelzebub and casts out spirit through Beelzebub, were they saying the truth? No. What was the condition of their hearts at that time? Therefore a man declaring that ALL (every single thing both physical and spiritual, visible and invisible, tangible and intangible, things in heaven, earth and hell) is vanity [either temporal, useless or without real/lasting value] doesn't mean it is true unless God says so and God did not say so. God's Word is not vanity. |

franklytrue:Voila, you finally say it yourself, 'everything physical will pass away...' That's the point I've been trying to make. I'm glad you get it now. Thanks for your time. |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by costandi(m): 9:49pm On Nov 19, 2020 |
HellVictorinho:Yeah, it shouldn't make sense to you. 1 Corinthians 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1 Like |

costandi:If you can understand nonsense,why is God also mysterious to you? |
Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by costandi(m): 6:33am On Nov 20, 2020 |
HellVictorinho:He isn't. Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. |

Re: Material Things Are Becoming Useless- Davido by Nobody: 6:38pm On Nov 20, 2020 |
costandi:According to religion,there is a God that created the Universe out of NOTHING. But that's nonsense because NOTHING can't exist. According to pantheism,the Universe is God and NOTHING exists outside it. But that's also nonsense because the Universe has no mind and it's impossible for NOTHING to exist. But ANYTHING can exist in infinite forms. Therefore, NOTHING can't exist before or after or alongside ANYTHING. |

HellVictorinho:Even science agrees that time, matter, space and energy began their courses billions of years ago, the story of which you refer to as physics. God exists beyond the realms of something (physical). So if your understanding is limited the ambits of this realm, you can't fathom him. The only way you can interface with his realm is by engaging the mystery of faith. Until then, any attempt to explain him with your senses (which he didn't create for that purpose) is an exercise in futility. 1 Like |
