SirShifty:
Well, that is the point i would expect them to be different but i do not see them in any religious writing, they all fit right in line with the morality of that time.
For example, in ancient Middle-East it was considered normal to enslave out-groups, wage unprovoked wars to gain land wiping out entire tribes of people and we see how the Old Testament has no problem with that. New testament comes around and there is heavy influence from Greek philosophers and their schools of thought, and you see how the Bible changes its tone to fit with the times.
If there is a form of divinity anywhere i do not see any evidence of it in any religious creed

SirShifty:
You would measure it taking into account well though out statements using reason to explore the human condition. In addition to that we also take into account the ethics espoused by the writing ,the depth and range they go into. Biblical authors could not find it within themselves to condemn enslavement of people or propose a system of government. Plato's works were written over 4 centuries before the new testament yet it is still superior in these aspects to anything produced by any religion. We can learn all sorts of things from different sources, no one book can be given a special claim to divinity, in fact no book

SirShifty:
There are superior writings by Plato and co both preceding the first Hebrew texts and after the New Testament scriptures. Divine to me, would mean coming from God and should be superior to anything men can come up with, i do not see that with the Bible or any holy book. The bible has good philosophical quotes but i see no indication that it is God's word or that it has an ultimate truth especially that it seems in line with what would have been written in those eras.

SirShifty:
The bible has some great philosophical verses in it, the problem is when people proclaim it is a divine word

Well, he can continue washing it, when it backfires he will come back here to tell the story. We like copying oyinbos hook line and sinker but have failed to see how pathetic most of their homes are.

And he said he has been ordained before. General overseers who called themselves into ministry are the problem the church has today. People who call themselves Christians know nothing about Christ.

A man who works for Christ is asking direction from Men on what to do with something that concerns Christ.

And he even said he was ordained before he went for Bible school. Funny enough, his mind is to lead, not to serve.

Lord Jesus see your Church oo. You gave your life for this Church, See what men are turning it to.

Jesus said "Feed my sheep", today instead of feeding the sheep they are looking for ways to steal from the sheep and even kill the sheep.

The way this man sounds, does he sound like someone who has a heart for the sheep? A shepherd's first priority is the sheep not the position.

LynnPetra:
I wish I have your time.

analice107:
lol. you are very funny. So you need Gods direction but when an issue came up you brought it to Nairaland?
Nairalanders Oya, tell this man here what to do, since his God is dead.

oloyede252:

This is the question you have been struggling to ask without clarity for over five pages. Na wa oh. Again, it is the basic old and boring question of why there is evil in the world if there is a loving God. Bringing in sentiments and emotions simply robs you of the so called logic that the usual atheist prides in. There is nothing logically about your assumption as anyone can also assume in the other many directions and perspectives.
God is not man, neither does He behave like man. So comparing Him to man, or the expectation of man simply makes little sense. God is not just Father, He is also God, Judge, Creator, All seeing, All knowing etc.
We may ask why do good people suffer, why do we have disasters, why is there sickness, it is the same thing you are driving at. The absence of evil does not in any way prove that there is God or otherwise. Same way, the presence of evil.
God doesn't stop every evil and sin. If He did not stop you from lying, why would He stop you from stealing or raping? Where then is the so called freewill? Humans are not automatons, get it into your brain. Neither is God under any pressure to stop you from your next madness. Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Act 17:31
In the meantime, if you are too eager for justice and judgement, simply go to the authorities whom God Himself has ordained.
1Pe 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

Now, we find out that the millions of suffering and downtrodden that you claim to be so concerned about. The majority of them believe in the existence of the Supreme Being, and move closer to Him as their sufferings increase. Deal with the reality. Don't just stay in the confines of your house with some megabyte shouting there is no God. Those that experience the great sufferings that you speak of, believe in Him. You who is not experiencing but just reading it, do not believe in Him. Who then is fooling himself again?

LynnPetra:
Ignore hateful comments. Many of them here are introverts with zero self confidence. I love your skin, it's lovely,

Do you back down because of demonic attacks or you fight back

Vikkie14:
Mr Author, you are writing from your own fiction. Have you been to the Villa before? Have you stay overnight at the villa? I doubt it. You don't claim abati 'experience' is fictional when you haven't been to the villa.
Reuben HAD been at the Villa and he gave us a first-hand experience.
You cannot know the system more than those(or had been) in the system.

Way to go my learned colleagues. We can't just stand akimbo and watch the illiterates and dullards disgracing our senior colleagues on the bench. Daura and his attack dogs from Napolean must be dealt with.
I wonder what will be going through the mind of the ambulance-chaser Falana
