Christianity EtcRe: The Sinking Ship by Ptolomeus(m): 9:58pm On Jun 22, 2012
Dear friend.
We talked about that. You remember him?
Remember when I explained that the Old Testament god demanded sacrifices of virgins and children he killed almost all of humanity with the flood, he commanded completely devastate villages, which he spread plagues upon his "beloved" people. ..
Is this Good the synthesis of perfection and goodness?
The God of the New Testament and Jesus' words have nothing to do with the other god.
Perhaps that is the largest Bible contradiction.

I send a heartfelt hug

joe4christ: Not when yahweh is still on the throne!
Excuse you.
Yahweh is no longer on the throne.
Yahweh demanded sacrifices of virgins and children.
He was dethroned by a Catholic god who does not ask sacrifices.
Christianity EtcRe: "House On The Rock Members (HOTR) @ Lagos" Please I Have A Question For You! by Ptolomeus(m): 9:38pm On Jun 22, 2012
Mr_Anony: Na wa for una o! If they finish building it within 6 months you will call the pastor a thief. Now it has taken 4 years, the man is also a thief what can be done to appease you? Or are you just jealous of oga pastor's wealth?
No, no, Pastors have a right to enrich themselves at the expense of the fools who believe them.

Although difficult, until you could be.

cyrexx: ^^^

all your copy and paste from livingwaters.com has not addressed my points.

you can continue this and avoid what i said. but that does not mean that your statements are true or that the bible is reliable.
http://ffrf.org/books/lfif/?t=contra

you are just following your parent's religion while thinking that those who followed other religion will go to hell. that is nothing but myopic bigotry

nuff said
Look, I think you are absolutely right.
But Olaadegbu is a good guy. Perhaps he put too much emphasis to the point where it ceases to reason, but he is a good person ...
Christianity EtcRe: Women!!!! The Down Fall Of Pastors by Ptolomeus(m): 9:16pm On Jun 22, 2012
Zodiac61: Another woman hating post.
Why am I not surprised?
You can be sure that god hates women (supposed to have been created by him).
I guess that since man was created in his image, he had no template for the female of the species.
He probably thought that the woman was getting too big for her shoes. grin grin grin
God has not a goddess, according to Christians, Jesus Christ never married ... to say nothing of Islam ...
It is clear the hatred of women?
Christianity EtcRe: In Whose Name Do Atheist Swear In Court? by Ptolomeus(m): 9:05pm On Jun 22, 2012
D sage: Answered by who? You or who? Firstly, i dont see you as a strong atheist,secondly you dont normally contributed to atheist thread,or are you one of them using new id? I recognised logicboy not logicboy01.

Since the question is directed to atheists,i expect the like of 'Logic mind,kay17,martian and other stronger atheists to share their view.
Who said the question was directed at atheists?
The thread has a question, do not say anything to anyone in particular.
I answered the question, and I'm not an atheist.
(What a character! ...)
Christianity EtcRe: Is The SOUL Immortal by Ptolomeus(m): 8:14pm On Jun 22, 2012
cyrexx: does a soul have a beginning?

yes, it begins at birth.

therefore, it must have an end, at death.
In Nairaland one never fails to surprise.
Dear friend, let's look at the absurdity this article:

There is a statistic about the kind of death of souls most common ,
and include the first death from traffic accidents; second place, the crimes of passion..Third places, lung cancer caused by smoking.
Christianity EtcRe: In Whose Name Do Atheist Swear In Court? by Ptolomeus(m): 8:00pm On Jun 22, 2012
I live in a secular country. Here, when a president assumes the government, do not swear "by God" but "by my honor."
Swear "by my honor" means to put as collateral morality and ethics of the person.
Of course, in both cases either swearing "by God" or "by my honor" who swears can lie or miss commitment ....
I personally think more logical to swear "by my honor" by the following:
1. If he swears is a believer,
a) To swear by God should be offensive to him. Not for a mere mortal swear in the name of god.
b) If swears by "your honor" anyway is committing his honesty.
2. If he swears is an atheist:
a) To swear to god it would be ridiculous.
b) Swearing "for my honor" would swear by the most sacred to an atheist.
Christianity EtcRe: What Would You Do If Your Pastor Or Priest Becomes An Atheist? by Ptolomeus(m): 7:41pm On Jun 22, 2012
cyrexx: impossicant!

how can a man suddenly stop his only source of income great wealth.

you want him to spoil his own business?
If the pastor wins the grand prize of lottery ... he no longer needs to profit ...
So yes ... he can possibly say it was all a scam, and announce that he is an atheist.
Christianity EtcRe: Top 5 Christian Things That Make Atheists Laugh by Ptolomeus(m): 7:25pm On Jun 22, 2012
logicboy01: 2) Slaps giving/ministry in deliverance/exorcism
Are you a witch for Jesus? Do you need deliverance? There are many pastors that will slap or beat the hell out of church members who need deliverance. I have no idea where they got this idea from. We all know Oyedepo's slaps giving but do we know where he got his inspiration from?
Christianity has no doctrine, no central power.
The only common denominator of the shepherds, is the criticism of other religions or theological positions. They say that "everyone else is demonic." That is their only doctrine (the attack)

Every pastor does what he wants. Example: If a pastor thinks is right to make a liberation ceremony included s.ex (excuse the example) one can say that this is right or wrong.
In this context, Pentecostals have taken elements of other religions, for example the Bible. A Christian should be based solely on the New Testament, but that's impossible, because the New Testament is meaningless without the Old Testament, then, pastors must "reinvent" the interpretation of the Old Testament, to be credible version of the New Testament .
They also take elements of traditional African religions, and of course, the Catholic Church.
Nothing original, but very cost effective.
CultureRe: Yoruboid Groups in Nigeria (Including Igala and Itsekiri) by Ptolomeus(m): 7:03pm On Jun 22, 2012
amor4ce: Ptolemeus, please understand that some peoples hate the Yoruba so much. The Itsekiri know that they are one with the Yoruba but some Igbo just want to paint the Yoruba negatively.
Dear friend:
Thank you for your intervention.
You add seriousness.
Actually I have been involved in a problem unintentionally.
Do you know of my deep respect for the Yoruba ... I have been baffled. My intention in the forum, is above all things, to exchange information on the Yoruba, but unfortunately it is difficult to talk about it ...
Please accept my best regards!
Christianity EtcRe: Does This Work by Ptolomeus(m): 6:43pm On Jun 22, 2012
It is very funny, that Christians despise traditionalists, when they intend to do exactly the same as them.
Traditionalism has its basis at least, this type of "magic bullets" of Christians, are inventions of "witches frustrated."
Christianity and witchcraft are in the same way.

Christianity EtcRe: What Is Your Position On Letting Your Children Play With Children Of Atheists? by Ptolomeus(m): 6:19pm On Jun 22, 2012
@ Muskeeto; I liked your presentation. At the forum there are people who forget that it is more important to convey to a child's moral (and why not, the tradition?) that a religious belief. I totally agree with you!.

Older people have our vices. Often segregate, and all segregation is unfair. But history tells us our friend Logicboy, speaks of something far worse!
That there are people who hate their children pass!
I embrace the position Muskeeto ... There are so many beautiful things to teach a child! There are so many moral and ethical values ​​to transmit to children!, To make them better than ourselves!
It's a shame that there are people sick of hate, and who infect their innocent children ... These children, tomorrow will be intolerant as their parents ... they are sick of hate ...

But ... amazingly, this hatred of people who call themselves "religious"!
A contradiction!
Christianity EtcRe: The Argument Against Atheism In Nigeria? by Ptolomeus(m): 5:55pm On Jun 22, 2012
@Caezar Do not be offended. My style is to review and refine with a joke.

I observe from many thousands of miles away, how Nigerians feel religion. I'm really surprised (and I hope nobody is offended) of fanaticism that exists.
In my country, everyone has their theological position, but there are hardly any fans. We all respect.
Except some Christian groups (very low), whose doctrine is just attacking the other, here there is mutual respect.
In Nigeria, if you're Islamic, Christians will hate and vice versa.
In such a situation, I understand, and I think it's logical that there are atheists in Nigeria ...
Possibly this, the more consistent and intelligent position.

Saludos, querido amigo!
Christianity EtcRe: Women!!!! The Down Fall Of Pastors by Ptolomeus(m): 5:35pm On Jun 22, 2012
Jimmy Swaggart.
The list could be endless.

But women are not to blame!
Nor is the fault of Satan!
Blame it on who claims to be a man of God, and although he wants to profess a doctrine, moral values ​​would not allow it.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Majek Fashek A Prophet by Ptolomeus(m): 5:30pm On Jun 22, 2012
well,
I do not know Majek, but in the opinion of friends, whom I respect their opinion, is somewhat interesting.
Too bad I can not speak English in order to hear ... its subject matter I find interesting ...
Christianity EtcRe: I Am A Muslim, I Love Christians & I Condemn Boko Haram by Ptolomeus(m): 5:14pm On Jun 22, 2012
I do not know who (or what) is Boko Haram.
But ... honestly ... Once, we stopped to think that all religions speak of us we respect?
I think a Muslim, a Catholic or an atheist can be wonderful people ... and can also be the opposite.
Not all those who think differently from us are bad ...
In practice, white and black do not exist ... but different shades of gray.
Although I may be wrong ...
Christianity EtcRe: Is The SOUL Immortal by Ptolomeus(m): 5:05pm On Jun 22, 2012
Dearest friend:

I do not want to get into polemics, but a language defines a word, I understand that it is unnecessary to prove by other means meaning.
If we say that man is a human being, it is redundant to present more evidence.
It is absurd that Paul, Peter, or whoever, would say something different in the Bible.
Regardless of our religious position, we all know that the definition of "soul" is immortal. There can be no two opinions about it.
Now you begin to give examples of ""mortals" ... I do not understand the relationship of that, with the immortality of the soul.
I hope not to be distorting the thread.

Please accept my greatest respect.
Christianity EtcRe: Calvinism Is Of The Devil by Ptolomeus(m): 4:49pm On Jun 22, 2012
I think the thread title is offensive to Christians, and hardly find something else other than that:offend.
I really doubt that there is interest in discussing this topic.
I've said many times, a very bad argument, offend or disparage others, and to call others of "demonic", does not make us better, however.

My greatest respect.
Christianity EtcRe: Is The SOUL Immortal by Ptolomeus(m): 4:31pm On Jun 22, 2012
Frosbel, esteemed friend:
I will not answer you with biblical passages, but (according to my personality) using common sense and analysis.
What the dictionary says about the word "SOUL"?:
f. In some religions and cultures, spiritual and immortal substance of humans.

In my humble opinion, simply look up the word in the dictionary, we get an answer that does not deserve nor allow any further discussion.

Do not you think?

A really interesting thread.
I hope I have answered live up to your expectations.

A respectful greeting.
Christianity EtcRe: Need Prayers For A Spouse by Ptolomeus(m): 10:44pm On Jun 21, 2012
sophy09: ^ Poster needs prayer for a spouse. The website has prayers for those in need of a spouse. You can try it does not hurt and no-one will know you did.
Dear friend:
I was joking.
Surely you are pretty enough to get a boyfriend naturally.
I do not think prayer is the answer for everything, or that everything should ask God.
If you go out into the street attitude, and smiling, no need to pray and find a boyfriend soon.
Do not you think?

Ngodigha1: It is a pity you did not understand my post. What I mean is that you have nothing to learn from this idiotic thread. The truth is not told and the aim is to see independent nations cajoled and pushed to surrender their independence to the ethnic group pf the poster and his fellow bigots.
What a wrong place to learn.
Right.
I really thank you.
I am a foreigner, I am a researcher of the Yoruba culture, and of course the thread I found interesting.
I do not understand the intent of such persons as opening a thread so I think something very aggressive, aggressive free.
I deeply appreciate your kindness.
You're very kind.
I send you a friendly greeting

Please grow up, stop trolling any topic on this board , defacing the true intent of the OP.
How old are you?
You think the only entitled to open a critical when someone writes nonsense like this thread?
I would not have criticized you for opening poisonous threads against Christians. That's their business.
Mind your business and not those that do not concern them.

Christianity EtcRe: "House On The Rock Members (HOTR) @ Lagos" Please I Have A Question For You! by Ptolomeus(m): 9:46pm On Jun 21, 2012
You are very anxious. You should understand that the pastor has difficulties in completing the work, change the car, buy a house with a pool, and complete payment of his new private plane.
As a good man of faith, limit you to tithe or God will punish you.
Christianity EtcRe: Special Advice And Caution For Christians. by Ptolomeus(m): 9:36pm On Jun 21, 2012
Valiantvaliant: This is a special advise session for christians and security tips to keep safe.
1. Avoid going out excessively on fridays especially after 2pm as this is a dangerous time because any slight thing can lead to a bigger one especially in the northern part of the country.
2. On sundays ,go to church and after service greetings should be done within the church premises and not outside instead when outside everyone should go his/her way. This is because the devil uses any slight opportunity to strike at christians and so we must be cautious.
3. When you use achaba/okada/ motor bike as transport to your house NEVER allow them take you direct to your house. Some people are fond of using the bike up to their door step and this is not advisable. Instead let them drop you some distance away from your house and you finish the rest by foot.
These are of course infringing our fundamental human rights of freedom of movement but as we all know, we live in the END TIMES. Nevertheless, we should not be discouraged because this will not go on forever because our ultimate everlasting freedom is coming, but meanwhile we have to be wise like the serpent and thread our paths softly. Please if you have more, kindly drop it below.
In fact, the commandments are 10.
Here I complete.


4. After the Mass, Ekodidé put a pen on his forehead.

5. On Friday night, for purification, take an immersion bath of hot oil palm.

6. Always urinate sitting, if you do not man up.

7. Upon ascending to the bus yell to the driver "watch out Satan, God guide me!"

8. Do not go out without a necklace of garlic tied with red ribbon.

9. Keep a strict fast the first four days of the week

10. Do not eat meat, vegetables, fruits, vegetables or liquids of any kind.

School of pastors?
Hahahahaha!

The course is summarized:
1. As convince fools to pay the tithe.
2. How to read the Bible passages to my convenience.
3. Let the fools do as I say, not as I do.
4. Jimmy Swaggart, the second Jesus.
5. The blame for all evil is Satan.
6. Who does not think like me, is Satan.
7. How scary threatening with hell.

The course is short and economical, also will ensure a successful economic future.
