Abso1uteZero:
I Do Not Understand..Could You Expand?

Being open-minded entails looking at every argument that you are confronted with using the same level of scrutiny. From my experience, the non-believers usually present more compelling arguments. An open-mind seven out of ten times will lead away from God, especially the God that Ammyluv2002 is trying to present.

stephenmorris:
she think say she one win soul for god na

Leave am. She has no idea.

ammyluv2002:
Okay! Just hold on. Promise to have an open mind at least?

Sanchez01, biko bia o! I need you right now....our brother here needs answers.

An open mind is most likely going to get him away from the God you have in mind. Trust me on this.

felixomor:
No, I can see

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

felixomor:
Nice escape as usual.

You wish.

felixomor:
Have u forgotten ur question?

I don tire for your hide and seek. I wan watch match.

What if the husband is the 'victim' of the 'rape'?

Empiree:
Aight. This means you retreat. I am sorry buddy. God is and always been used for supreme deity. And god/gods is/are used for mini gods other than supreme Being. You dont know what you talking abut. Go sidon for side

But you google am sha?

felixomor:
Stop jumping .
That example is sufficient,
U asked for something
Don't compound issues by making claims of "Christian alike"

Learn to pause when u collide with reasons.
So that people will continue to take u seriously.

Please be honest now. Does your example tally with what is being discussed?

hazyfm1:


Why should I care, did anyone ask GEJ what he missed about Aso Rock?

The food allowance.

Empiree:
Aight. I really need education on this. Please go on and tell me other meanings. Thank You

Dictionary no dey your phone? Or simply google it. How hard can that be?

felixomor:
Like "go to hell".

Lolz. Christians and non-Christians alike consider ''go to hell'' indecent, same as ''idiot'' or ''dumbass''. Tell me a word that is acceptable that has a questionable origin that you don't use. And is this the only example you can think of?

felixomor:
Seems u dont remember what Christianity teaches?
So if the root origin of an exclamation is against my innermost belief and conviction, I can continue saying it?

Yeah right,
Will u now pause for a while?

Really. Kindly give us examples of other words in use whose origin are against your ''innermost beliefs''.

felixomor:
The guy is correct.

Unless u want to say u are a fan of the people who dont think before they say things like Dawkins.

You go check up the root origin of the english phrase "Oh my God".

Then make your assertions

I can see how great a thinker you are. Your powers of 'thinking' only become activated when you are discussing with atheists.

felixomor:
I think u should be the one getting it. Honestly.
U dont seem to be able to differentiate "meaning" and 'origin'.
Thats why u support people who dont think before talking.

Does this mean that you look for the origin of every word before you use them, or does your concern for etymology kick in only when religion is being discussed?

Empiree:
whats ur point?

My point is that many English words have more than one meaning. The word ''God'' is not an exception.

felixomor:
Every exclamation has an origin.

This is nonsense and you know it. Get a dictionary.

Empiree:
See underlined, what is your definition of "unbelief". "Unbelief" in God would mean they belief in something (other deities) to get stuck with. They have to shout name of something like Khrishna, Jesus etc. But in the case of Atheists, they claim they simply dont believe in any deities. How come they shout God when they are uncomfortable?. Tell me what phrase(s) atheist screams when he/she is in distress, "Ooo NOthing"?

What is this? Have you ever checked a dictionary for all the entries of the word 'God'? If you haven't please do.

Empiree:
You want definition of God?.

Here it is. I was on my way to Chicago from New York. I'm am the pilot with bunch of Atheists on board. When I reach 35,000 above sea level, I nose dive the aircraft at the top speed...going straight to hit mountains. By the time I reach 15,000, all Atheists on board start screaming and yelling including yourself.

They scream.......[size=20pt]"OH GOD OH OH OH GOD........OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD"[/size]


When I hear them scream I pull up. They simply quiet and say "Thank you God"


What bothers me is that, they claim they don't believe in God. They don't believe in nothing. How come that scream God's help when they are in trouble?. Why don't they scream OH NOTHHING?.

Same thing happened to Dawkins when he was debating theist. He forgot name of something and touched his forehead trying to remember. He said "oh God"


So don't you think you deceiving yourself HardMirror?.. I'm sure that would have been your reaction in the scenario I described if you were to be in a distressed aircraft.

Keep deceiving yourself like seun

This would only mean that their belief was nothing but an emotional reaction to their situation. There are also people who have stuck to their unbelief in times of great distress. It is a matter of conviction and emotional capacity I think.

Even your hair is feeling the change.

Jdazzle:
Hah... defence? defend myself to who? you?

Ogbeni swerve....got no time for banters... as ur defiance is seemingly proposing, I can very well see through ur folly so the aggression is enough to give u a bit of sense to steer clear off!!!

Yimu

Jdazzle:
Maybe you should go read it properly urslf... don't quote me unnecessarily next time...

Your aggression tells me you have nothing to say in defence of your blunder. Bye.

Fairgodwin:
I know so many people will come here to read scientific meanings to it with so many fallible proofs (especially the one that happened in Russia), but it still wouldn't change the fact that the end is truly nearer than ever.

If you believe in God, keep believing [in Him] and holding on [to Him], if you don't believe in God, keep believing in whatsoever you believe in if that's what you think would save you on the last day.

Whatever you think would work for you and whatever you think is best for you, keep focusing on it.
As for you Christians out there and all those who believe in the gospel of salvation through Jesus, I use this opportunity as a medium of contact to you, please do not relent for surely if you tarry still for a little [more] while, He shall surely come for you.

I'm not even speaking in regards to this (blood thing), whether it is real or not is entirely not much of my concern, but I just felt compelled to tell every believer out there to stand firm and earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.


I wish every Nairalander a happy day ahead and an awesome night rest later tonight.
God bless you all.

Please read.

Jdazzle:
Sir hopeful, of all the comments I have read on here and much as I tried to stay out of this, I will say something on yours...

I put it to you this day that NOONE that has ever seen the light of God Almighty truly and genuinely would ever be lured back into darkeness.... I say Noone! Save of course it was light of some different entity they got entwined with...

You can take that to the bank... And don't quote me back, I have said it all...
Just go make ur research for as far as this universe is concerned ;its never been heard before of a person who experienced God in all his glory with conversion and followership n and somehow managed to slip thru the cracks and decided to go back to darkness, on the contrary, it's always been from darkness to light, sir landlord, my God cannot be mocked...

So what is Hebrews 6 vs 4-6 talking about?

GossipHeart:
Nigerians are so stupid

You lawyers,Doctors, Teachers,pharmacist, Nurses, Pilots, President smokes weed, Trust me
They think that smoking marijuana is bad to your health.

Many states in the USA legalized marijuana, if there are any health affecting components in weed, they wouldn't even think of legalizing marijuana.
Now, ask people the chemical in weed, 90% of them don't even know it

THC is the chemical in weed, now go check what THC is.

The USA will spend billions of dollars in studying and experimenting the health implications on any item they wanna pass to the public, they did that on weed and they found nothing, that's why USA, the home of scientists and the best country in the world legalized weed.

Do you know what is in the alcohol you drink ??No
Alcohol is the most dangerous thing on earth yet some of you fools that thinks smokers are liable to die young do drink alcohol

Ignorant Nigerians

You are more ignorant for thinking that smoking marijuana has no health implications, exactly how many states in the USA have legalized marijuana smoking?

4everGod:
Subjective you say? But true!

In matters of this nature, truth is also subjective.

Anas09:
Yes ooo. Spirirual carelessness can gradually lead there. Persecution. I know one.

So for all we know Hard Mirror might just have been spiritually careless or persecuted, have you considered this?

4everGod:
You just answered your own question! The key word here is "true"! Was he a "true" Pastor? He was not. Even though a true Pastor can backslide but his case is an exception because we can discern that there was nothing "true" about him.

''Discernment'' in this case appears to be subjective.

felixomor:
I have some deep perceptions on the topic of backsliding u may not be able to understand, personally speaking.
That asides, If a man says he was an idol worshipper even while he was a pastor. Automatically, he implies that he was never a real one in the first place.
That's the point.

You have not answered the question. Can a true, born again, Spirit-filled, tongue-speaking, miracle-working pastor backslide?

4everGod:
Can a self acclaimed pastor be fake?

Yes he can be fake. Can a true pastor backslide?

felixomor:
This one claimed not just "Christian", he claimed "pastor"
I hope u get?
And now he is saying, he was also "secret atheist"
Both are mutually exclusive.

Can a pastor backslide?

felixomor:
But image123 didn't claim to move from "pastor" to "atheist" as this one fraudulently claimed?

You misunderstand me. Image is a good Christian who has 'interrogated' him like you are doing now and come to the conclusion that he was a Christian. I am sure that there are scriptures that talk about ''falling away'' from the fold especially in the ''last days''. Have you considered that he might have been a Christian who ''fell away'' instead of a person who was never a Christian?
