Lolzzzzzz. Its a new dawn era. An atheist is quoting the nonexistent Jesus of Nazareth to a dead man. WTH?

Bros, who is the Swine here biko? Lodreed?

UncleDeborah:
Boom!

It can only be God.

You are very correct, of course. The eyes are not needed to perceive sound or heat or vibration or any number of other stimuli that the physical body can experience apart from sight.

I would add that we don't even need to know all that stuff about sound as you know quite well. Well before we had technology to measure sound in decibels, blind men navigated the world by hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting and other means as well.

All you have said here only goes to show that we have different senses for perceiving different realities. In the absence of one or more, there are others which may compensate.

Faith is a spiritual sense. It is the means by which we perceive spiritual realities which are utterly inaccessible to our other senses. In the same way that your eyes cannot perceive sound, none of your physical senses can perceive spiritual realities. This is what "things not seen" means. What it does not mean though is that we cannot know [this or that] for sure any more than a blind man cannot know [this or that] for sure just because he cannot see. In the same way that a blind man can perceive the world around him through other senses, we can perceive the spiritual realities around us through Faith. And as you have said, Faith is a response to hearing God's Testimony. If you reject God's Testimony, it is similar to essentially systematically destroying all of your physical senses so that you can no longer perceive physical realities. Like being physically dead.

That is why there is such a notion as being spiritually dead. It means that your ability to perceive spiritual realities has been summarily discarded by you. Therefore, anything that may be said about the spiritual is nonsense to you since it is utterly imperceptible to you in every way. It may also compare to insanity where even though a person is physically alive, they lack the ability to correctly perceive and interpret the world around them.

As to what I heard, in Genesis 1:1, we learn that "to begin [everything], God created the heavens and the earth". That is, He created time, space and energy because He created a beginning and heavens and earth which together form the totality of the universe.

Ihedinobi3:
You understand "substance of things hoped for" and "evidence of things not seen" as meaning what exactly?

In more modern English, the verse may be rendered thus as well:

Hebrews 11:1 NASB
[1]Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Can you explain why you do not see this in the same way as you would see the work of, say, the hearing of a blind man?

When a blind man cannot see the sun, how is he assured of its existence? When he cannot see the one he loves, how can he be convinced of their love for him? Why does his ability to perceive these things not resonate with Hebrews 11:1?

Ihedinobi3:
Why did you not then assume that Faith is another sense rather than that nothing can be known for sure through Faith?

oludoyin99:
see this retarded fool.....we pray you find happiness in reality as you claim on social media. It's yourself you're deceiving

Ihedinobi3:
Shall we say then that the blind do not know anything for sure?

Ihedinobi3:
Why do you say that what is known by Faith is not known for sure?

Lord Reed, pls download the online version of this book " our ultimate reality " by Anderson Cooper. it will help you

Ihedinobi3:
Lots of things are debates in scientific circles including the patently ridiculous.

Yes, I do know for sure that time was created as does every human being until they choose to ignore the truth and replace it with a lie of their own choosing.

Yes, Faith.

LordReed:
Call it what you will, can you demonstrate it?

LordReed:
So you believe in the spiritual mumbo jumbo? Can you perform it?

Someone once told me he had to vaccinate himself before coming to Nigeria.

Ihedinobi3:
To be clear, God created time, matter and energy. None of these things existed before He created them ex nihilo. So He existed before Time existed. That means that His Existence is completely undefinable in terms of time.

This universe was created for us creatures. Eternity too will be created for us too. These things make our existence possible and comprehensible to us. But God doesn't need them Himself. It is in order to make some sense of Him that we use words about Him the way we do.

For example, when we say "before Time was created", we are saying something rather meaningless because if time didn't exist, what does "before" mean? But how else can we express the otherwise inexpressible?

Then again, where did God exist if there was no space before He created space? But again we are thinking of God like He isn't God. God is Spirit. Not a spirit, Spirit. That means that He is something very different from and not like the universe at all. So, it's impossible to explain Him in terms of the universe.

When then we talk about God, it is important to keep in mind that we are going to be speaking logical absurdities although they will be truths as far as human language can go. The reason is, as I have said, that God is not like the universe so that our ideas about Him will always be difficult to comprehend even where they are accurate and even more difficult to communicate meaningfully. And without Faith it is completely impossible either to understand Him or to even explain Him to anybody else.

SKhanmi:
Come to think of it,You might be a troll. But let me give you a basic example......have you ever thought of a longtime friend & somehow you ran into them or received their calls? Or person owe you money & you be carpenter, do you know that if you focus INTENTLY*on such a person while hammering nails... it will somehow show up in disturbances in the individual psyche.... more especially if the person was at sleep?

These are not even spiritual stuffs. The key is energy, Intense like I'm going to wring your MF neck energy. Wetin man nono pass man!

TrapQ, your perception is as foggy as the milky discharge from your candidal vulvovaginitis infested cùnt.

This unhinged cyber-highway recalcitrant with unresolved emotional trauma, how wonderful it is to meet you again!

Ritual killings, like any other crime, is a crime and not necessarily gender sensitive. Or are there not female kidnappers who use little infants or even sell them for rituals? Are there not men who fall victims to ritual killings?

Unless old and abandoned bítches like you treat every crime as a crime against humanity without regards to gender, we will continue to be persuaded that your mental retardation is irreversible as your broken hymen.

ImaIma1:
I didn't ask for preferential treatment but that didn't stop you from labelling me:

Senseless
Mumu
Didirin
Cretin
Asinine
Idiot

All this from the mouth and heart of only one person in a single conversation.

trapQ:
My dear friend ranchhoddas, women aren't asking for preferential treatment.
Equality is not preferential treatment.

ImaIma1:
Bye.

Come back when you have grown up and learnt to communicate like a gentleman and not like someone with no respect or regard for women

ImaIma1:
At what point did I insult you?

Usual NL grammar "cretin"...lol

By asking if my family members had cars, you already made it like it's luxury to you.

Where did I mock people without cars? It's all in your head and you are sounding insecure.

Have you seen how mature people communicate without insults? Learn sweety.

Didirin...cretin...idiocy...asinine...lol. You are such a funny boy.

ImaIma1:
Saying you are fool would be an understatement. And besides, I believe commincating with insults is for kids.

I can see that cars are luxury to you. If not you wouldn't see it as something that a normal person cannot possess.

How many males in my family have cars? Is it just the males? What about the females? You need to free your mind from the shackles of poverty. You cannot possibly be poor in your mind too.

ImaIma1:
Guys without cars will want to capitalize on this like guys with cars are all abomination and dangerous.

majekdom2:
this is not about the lady? What is wrong in a lady asking if he has a car or iPhone. What is wrong with someone wanting to roll with a guy who is rich. Nothing really however there is a problem. The problem here is a social problem and not a woman or man alone problem. Identifying the problem is the first step in solving it. We have a social problem where money is seen as the essence of living. We hear it in songs. The insatiable desire for money makes a girl wants a rich guy and also the pressure makes the guy do rituals. The reason it seems things are not working is we have placed the wrong things first. Broke guys should stop using the screenshots above to make themselves feel good. They should go work hard. Whist I won’t advice my daughter not to date a guy with no car, I will advice her not to date someone with the kind of mindset you have upthere.

fr3do:
I feel this ritual thingy is blown out of proportion

BluntBoy:
We are talking about projects, you are talking about court cases.

If court cases were like projects, then Buhari would have forced the legislative arm to pass the anti-graft bill he had proposed to them since 2016.
