BassReeves:

There is no shadow of doubt, you are a turncoat. this coming from, seeing your notable flop, of you, on the verge of changing your opinion and went over to the opposite party and, after crossing 'enemy' lines, you fired shot at your 'comrade', from there.

Turncoat? buda? You know half the story. buda turned from being the only true atheist on Nairaland for like 12 years, according to some, to Christ is Lord. The Word can be powerful like that. What I am flipfloping on is my defense that the Word does not enslave and subjugate, but you are putting doubt in my mind because you are most definitely subjugated and enslaved to believe Adam and Eve surely died after eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge despite it being written they went on to live 800 or so years.

Please know that buda does not have enemies. The Word says "Love your neighbours [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205%3A44&version=NIV]and your enemies moreso[/url]", and one can obviously not love those one sees as enemies.

Can't you make sense without quoting the Bible?

HellVictorinho:

Can't you make sense without quoting the Bible?

Yes Hell, of course I can "make sense without quoting the Bible".

You and I have been talking about how one day going to boko haram with our lyrics and books to save them and not once have I quoted Bible at you I think. Just that when I discuss with people who live by bread alone its easier to reference what they know, which is why I quote Quran when I discuss with Muslims too.

Trust me Hell, nothing will give me more joy than quoting Buddha or Plato or Socrates or Popper or Kant or Heidegger or Aristotle or Gnosticism etc at people who've read them but there seems to be scarcity of such people here. Someone even recently said they heard that last one was poo without bothering to read it themselves, lol.

It's a Buddhist thing, I guess. When you are in Rome, be Roman.

Yes, you are a shameless and cowardly turncoat, skulking in here being up to mischief

Tufiakwa. I spit on your 'half the story'

Yawns.

budaatum:

You need to question yourself where and who from you got the nonsensical idea from that the Word enslaves and subjugates.

You'll have a hard task on your hands, bringing evidence of me ever saying the Word enslaves and subjugates.

budaatum:

1. What did God tell Adam would happen to him, if or when he eats of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?
2. How many cells die daily in our body?
3. How long does it take a rat to die after eating a poisoned cheese?

Duh. Enemy, was used in a non-literal sense for an optimum rhetorical, sensational and vivid effect.

BassReeves:

Mischief is asking you to use your brain?

BassReeves:
Tufiakwa. I spit on your 'half the story'

That must be what you think decent people do. Did you learn this as a fruit of the spirit?

BassReeves:
You need to question yourself where and who from you got the nonsensical idea from that the Word enslaves and subjugates.

I don't suppose you realise that my position all along is that God and a proper understanding of Scripture definitely does not enslave nor sunjugate, and that it is ignorance and not eating fruits of knowledge that does that?

Please open your eyes and read!

BassReeves:
You'll have a hard task on your hands, bringing evidence of me ever saying the Word enslaves and subjugates.

So, walking past the tree of knowledge of good and evil but not plucking its fruit to see if you would surely die is not enslavement and subjugation to you?

Well, I guess its not unusual for some to think they are living in heaven when they are living in hell, especially if they claim "on the day you eat" is like 8 centuries later, and the Tree of Knowledge is a tree of death.

BassReeves:
1. What did God tell Adam would happen to him, if or when he eats of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?

Are you asking me to go back to the beginning again? You are beginning to be boring, but here goes:

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

BassReeves:
2. How many cells die daily in our body?

I don't know, but are you claiming the God that created Adam in His own image does not know the difference between Adam and Adam's cells?

BassReeves:
3. How long does it take a rat to die after eating a poisoned cheese?

I don't exactly know since I do not poison rats but let me guess. Is it 800 years?

BassReeves:
Duh. Enemy, was used in a non-literal sense for an optimum rhetorical, sensational and vivid effect.

You don't say, lol.

Need help against spiritual attack/witchcraft attack:

A litre bit of my background, I came from polygamous home where my later father married five wives and my mother was the second wife with a lot of issues. I had been bewitched or attacked by other wives since I was very young as I started noticing marks and scratches on my body and at the same time I experienced unexplainable internal heat and this lasted for couple of years during my secondary school times and I was unable to concentrate on my studies, and my late father was not interested to know about my health, therefore I struggled with life until I left home. Immediately I left home the internal heat stoped and I was able to start a new life away from home.

After coupe of years I bought a car and went home to see my sick mother, that's when the serious witchcraft attack started seeing all manner of spiritual attack. As a result my life went worst and everything was down in my life till today thou I had visited several church houses but no solution was found, one good thing that happened over the years is that the two of my late father wives who was responsible for my predicament died mysteriously.

However, I'm still facing witchcraft attack from half brothers and relatives because of jealous.
I need to know any native doctors, Babalawo or spiritualist who knows what they're doing. I need help as soon as possible.

Get some guns and some shooters, then kill them all. Religious and superstitious delusions are very susceptible to reality. No witch can survive a high caliber bullet to the skull. I guarantee it.

On the other hand, there is no such thing as witchcraft. So, keep living your life well and stay away from your horrible relatives.

Just so you know... You are not meant to be in darkness as a believer...
And who exactly is a believer? A believer of what exactly?
Well, read on to find out..
I know sometimes you question the existence of God...
If God truly exists, why does He let bad things happen...
Someone would say "why did He let my mother die?", "Why would he let all these terrible things happen to me?"

Believe me, we've all been through that stage of doubt because of the various storms we face in life...
But I'll answer your question...
God doesn't let bad things happen...
He only gave us the gift of free will...
As you are, you can decide to get a gun, go to the market place and shoot anyone you see... Hmm... Yes it's true.. You can...
But that doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do...
God sees what you planned to do even before you did it but because of free will, He let you do it..
That doesn't make God less powerful...

Jesus speaking in John 12:46 says :I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

What happens when you switch on the light in a dark room?
The place gets bright... It is no longer dark...
You can walk into such room and pick up whatever you want without being confused or stumbling around...

Now let's do a little exercise..
Imagine the world is that room and Jesus is the light switch...
Jesus coming into the world(your life) means darkness can no longer exist in your life.

You can't be confused anymore..
You can't be struggling anymore..
You can't be depressed anymore..
You can't be hindered anymore..
You can't be heartbroken anymore..
You can't be sick anymore..
You can't be broke anymore

WHY?
Because the light switch of your life(Jesus) has been turned on..

Someone too may ask.. What exactly will Jesus do that will cause my life to change so suddenly...
Jesus is Lord and He has the power to heal every area of your life...
He just has it...
Another person might ask "Just like that?"
My answer is yes.. Just like that...

There's someone reading this and you really want to give your life to Jesus...
You're tired of the struggle..
You're tired of the torments..
You just want a fresh start...
It's not too late for you...
It doesn't matter what you have done..
You feel you have done something so bad and you have been carrying the guilt for so long...
Jesus loves you and wants to take away that burden from you...
He's knocking...
Don't pretend like it's not you...
It's you..
You know yourself...

Please say this prayer and mean it from the bottom of your heart:
Lord Jesus, I am here before you today...
I know I have wronged you in many ways
Please forgive me.I want to change...
Come into my life today..
Be my Lord and Savior...
I surrender to you...
I receive a new beginning.
Old things are passed away and all things have become new
Satan, pack your load and leave my life
I belong to Jesus now..
I am born again!

We were all fed up..

Sorry about getting same responses...

He has a word for you today actually...
Just let go of every mental jurisdictions as you read...
He loves you and He wants you to rest in His love
He knows everything about you and He wants to help
He says to you today

:"Come to me, you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Have faith sir and believe. God will only give us what is necessary and not always what we want.

What we want sometimes isn't what is best for us

yea....like the christians that die of cancer or children that die of hunger every year....it is best for them

Anyone born of flesh and blood is bound to die one way or another except a few chosen men that God loves in the days of old.

There are people that lack what they need despite their faith in God.

they say anything to defend their God...even stoning children to death for disobedience is normal to them

Luzebox:

It's really cringe worthy.

God has given us power, authority and dominion over all things. Activate that authority and it will work for you in Jesus name. Authority over diseases, demons and death. This is a song that preach the Gospel of Jesus and what God can do for us if we serve Him.

Atheist Principles True or false?

budaatum:
Atheist Principles True or false?

Too many for it to be a simple true or false answer.

LordReed:

My wife doesn't go around killing babies because she believes in a narcissistic god who does, that is what is important.

This is a lie, my Lord, and a very annoying one at that!

Your wife does not believe in a "narcissistic god who does" or you would not have married her. So, it's either you misrepresent your wife's God or your wife's beliefs or yourself

Clarify please my Lord, because you do this too often for it to be ignored.

She believes in a god who flood the world killing all the babies and unborn fetuses. She believes in a god who killed David's child because he committed adultery. She believes in a god who killed all the first born of Egpyt. Do you need more examples or are you satisfied that there's no misrepresentation my dear buda?

And you married her knowing she believes in a God whom you claim did all these things?

Why?

Was she the only woman in your neighborhood and you could not find one who believes in a better God, or are you misrepresenting the God your wife believes in?

When I married her I believed the same things even though this perspective never occurred to me then. It is when I shed myself of belief that it became clear to me. In as much as she doesn't become a baby killing monster then I am pleased to remain her husband. The beliefs in her head do not bother me, her actions are my concern.

Also if you can't point out how I misrepresented the god then stop saying it.
