logicboy: Einstein was either an atheist or an agnostic. He didnt believe in your god
Einstein believed there is GOD but said that there is no personal GOD. The only difference is that he believed that man could not have a personal relationship with GOD. Just the wonderful nature of the planet made Einstein to conclude that GOD is real.

On the contrary, he heavily rejected the label atheist, when he was called as such. Stop the lies!

logicboy: That is why God doesnt exist. It is purely by chance that I was born into a wealthy background. I see so many religious and honest people suffering and yet, I that do not really deserve anything gets to enjoy life.
What does enjoying life mean to you? True enjoyment does not lie in vanity but rather the peace that you have with your MAKER. Money is very vane and if you have had it for long, you will be the first to admit that it is worthless as far as enjoying life is concerned!

If you truly believe that the LORD has put the two of you together, I will suggest that you give the girl some space and pray. If she is really urs, she can never be lost. The LORD is never a liar

logicboy: The smartest people in the world (Scientists) generally dont believe in God.
The greatest scientist of them all, Einstein, believe very much in GOD. What do you say to that?
Christianity EtcRe: Logicboy Was A Christian For 22 Years by rastamouse(op): 1:22pm On May 08, 2012
logicboy: No, the christianity was the failure. I come from a wealthy background and I have few problems in life. I can afford to be on the NL all day because I am not chasing money.
I am glad that you come from a wealthy background. I also come from a decent background but I had to work myself to some sort of financial independence.

My question for you is...did you choose the background that you wanted to be born into? I mean was it by chance that you were not born to a poor family in some war-torn country?
Christianity EtcRe: Righteousness - What Is It? And Who Is Righteous? by rastamouse: 1:19pm On May 08, 2012
Callotti: Human beings can only afford fleeting moments of righteousness. . . when they consciously strive to do the right things.
Nothing like 100% righteousness.
So NO salvation for hypocrites! kiss

Sooooooooooooo ask YOUR God!
That means you are hopeless!

logicboy: God has no age because he doesnt exist.
You really sound stupi.d when you say that undecided
Christianity EtcRe: Is Time Endless? by rastamouse: 1:14pm On May 08, 2012
logicboy: Nice try to start with semantics. A spiritual world doesnt exist.


Eternity;
While in the popular mind, eternity (or foreverness) often simply means existence for a limitless amount of time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternity

So you are still wrong. Eternity doesnt always mean the absence of time.
LOL...Wikipedia will kill you boi cheesy

Time is never a factor in eternity. If that was the case, man would have come up with the age of GOD. It is because of the absence of time in eternity that is why GOD does not have a beginning. But here on earth where there is time and space, HE becomes the Alpha and the Omega...meaning it started with HIM and will end with HIM.
Christianity EtcRe: Logicboy Was A Christian For 22 Years by rastamouse(op): 1:00pm On May 08, 2012
logicboy: No, I am telling you that religion was a drain on my life. Religion was the failure.


Saul was a grown man before he changed. Think about that.

BTW I am still a young man in my mid twenties
So for the 22 years that you were a Christian, that was total failure in your life. It that statement correct?
Christianity EtcRe: Logicboy Was A Christian For 22 Years by rastamouse(op): 12:45pm On May 08, 2012
logicboy: Doesnt the bible tell you that there is a time for everything?

Should the drunkard not quit alcohol?

Should the harlot not quit fornication?


As for me, I quit the failure in my life called religion and today, I am a better man. Proud to be an atheist#
I wonder how proud that must have made you. Are you admitting that you were a failure for 22 years?
Christianity EtcRe: Logicboy Was A Christian For 22 Years by rastamouse(op): 12:36pm On May 08, 2012
I guess you will be the first to admit that you are a failure. Folks like you only know one word when things get tough - QUIT!

Christianity EtcRe: Watching For Christ's Return by rastamouse: 9:52am On May 08, 2012
OLAADEGBU: Watching for Christ's Return
May 8, 2012

"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. . . . Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh" (Matthew 24:42, 44)

Those who try to predict Christ's return may become skeptical about biblical prophecy. But this would be a sad mistake. Regardless of just when it will happen, Christ will return, for so He promised, and He cannot either lie or fail. He has repeatedly made it plain that no one can determine the date of His coming. Not even He, while in His human limitations, knew that (Mark 13:32).

Again and again He urged us to watch and be ready for His return. He did not tell us to watch for the Antichrist or the revival of Rome's empire or a great apostasy or a great revival or a world government or anything else--just for Him! Note some of His commands to do this (in addition to the two in our text):

"Take ye heed, watch and pray, for ye know not when the time is" (Mark 13:33).

"Watch ye therefore: . . . Lest coming suddenly, he find you sleeping" (Mark 13:35-36).

"Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh" (Matthew 25:13).

In addition to such exhortations by the Lord Himself, the apostles also sounded similar warnings:

"Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation" (Hebrews 9:28.)

"Abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming" (1 John 2:28.)

Space limitations preclude listing others, but again in the words of Christ: "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch" (Mark 13:37). HMM

For more . . . .
JESUS clearly warned us that the hour that we least expect HIM, that is when HE will return. HE said that when the world shall say, we are at peace, that is when the destruction will come up. Thanks Olaa, we all need to remind ourselves of the coming danger

LOL...so this is all about popularity? You come here each day derailing topics with the ultimate aim to get popular?
Christianity EtcRe: Is Time Endless? by rastamouse: 9:38am On May 08, 2012
logicboy: STFU!

You have never been to the spiritual world and so stop talking nonsense. How are you sure that time doesnt exist in the spiritual world? How do you know that it is not that time is just there in the spiritual world but just frozen?
grin grin grin grin grin

Take am easy boy...don't come chewing me up this early morning grin grin grin grin

How do you expect to understand spiritual things when you don't believe in the spirit world? Eternity in simple English means absence of time and that is what the spiritual world is. Hope that helps you
Christianity EtcLogicboy Was A Christian For 22 Years by rastamouse(op): 9:31am On May 08, 2012
He has been one of the ardent critics of Christians and religion in general on this forum but what many people might not have realized is that Logicboy was a Christian for 22 years. In a recent post, the self-confessed troll declared that he is addicted to derailing topics just to ensure that Christians on this forum misses the key issues that the HOLY SPIRIT might want them to hear.

I rather feel pity for him because something really tragic will allow a man to let go off something that he has held on to for 22 years. I believe that those 22 years were not wasted. Logicboy will one day wake from his slumber-just like the prodigal son- and ran back to his MAKER acknowledging that he has wronged HIM.

I will hereby urge all Christians here to hold on fast to their faiths so that they do not also lose their faiths. Only those who endure to the end will be rewarded!
Christianity EtcRe: A World Without Religion...better Or Not? by rastamouse: 9:23am On May 08, 2012
logicboy: So, because somebody conjured the lie that is religion, it is impossible that religion can not be dangerous to man? Are you forgetting that there are people who believe that their religion is from God? If someone wholeheartedly believes that God said that he should kill you, isnt that a religious problem?

Remove christianity and we would not have had crusades or inquisitions. Less evil.
You know well that religion gave the world some form of order.

logicboy: ??

Is that all you can say? Well, it is a sign that you have nothing worth saying because you know you have been proven wrong
LOL...I rather expressed my surprise. Back to the topic, what makes you think that the earlier believers are any different from us? The same SPIRIT/tools that were available to them are also available to us now because the devil has not changed with time.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Time Endless? by rastamouse: 9:14am On May 08, 2012
snthesis: time is relative to d specie in question- we "humans decided/agreed to number our days by the environmental conditions -d physical i.e sunset/sunrise, seasons. To another intelligent specie- d measure of time will be different
Time is tangible in the physical world. When you enter the spiritual world, time does not exist. However in our world, time is a rule just like gravity and other laws. It is the law of time that determines when a plant should grow, mature, fruit and ripen. The best evidence of the existence of the law of time is the life expectancy of man.

It is because of time that we do not live forever
Christianity EtcRe: Is Time Endless? by rastamouse: 9:07am On May 08, 2012
AlvinPlantinga: diluminati, Time is really not a thing in itself.Time is just how we measure change.Humans have calenders and clocks to differentiate one event from another,one instance from another.

The fact that humans measure change differently does not in anyway suggest that Temporal becoming is illusory.Temporal Becoming is the state of things coming into and out of existence.The feeling that things are changing around us.I am still not sleeping at the moment, i slept and now i am awake.

The question of whether time is endless is a rather complex one.Time can be described as a potential infinite.I.e, Tending towards infinity but never quite getting there.Its like someone who is counting from 1,2,3,4,5................ and never stops.So in someway, you could say that time is endless.But whether this will be the state of affairs in the physical world, is still open to debate.We will have to get into the whole debate of the entropy of the Universe, etc.

Time is rarely an easy topic.
Quite contrary to your point, time is very tangible. For instance, in the spiritual realm, time does not exist so things can happen instantaneously. However, in the physical world, time is a law. As Solomon intelligently put it, for everything under the sun, there is a time and a season.

On whether time is endless, I will say NO. Time will come to an end when JESUS returns or when we die. That is what eternity is all about. If time exist after the return of CHRIST, then we cannot lay claim to eternity.

logicboy: Christianity works bests with threats.

Speaking in tongues in modern context is quite foolish. Speaking in tongues in was done in the bible for a specific purpose; it is a sign of prophecy. Paul in the bible said that there should be another person to interpret what the person who is speaking in tongues is saying. How many people that speak in tongues in our Nigerian churches are speaking a real language instead of babbling nonsense?
So you believe in the Bible after-all?
Christianity EtcRe: Church Of Amadioha by rastamouse: 7:57am On May 08, 2012
[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]No it is not necessary. I still dont get what is wrong with human sacrifices huh If animals are sacrificed, then why not humans huh We humans are anyways the ones who are a pain on society and will kill ourselves and everyuthing else on this Earth someday. In the past, two kinds of people were offered as human sacrifices:

1) Religious people who chose to be sacrificed. and also members of the priestly class.

2) All kinds of people who would be killed anyways AND who had nothing to do with the tribe. E.g., POWs (prisoner of wars, criminals and slaves from other tribes). Remember: in the days of Strong Tribal Unity, only the Tribes Welfare was considered. Any other tribes outside were considered a potential threat, because they did the same things to do and they stole cattle, etc. So there was a strong bond amongst a Tribe members for mutual protection.

So in essence we can still continue with human sacrifice. What is wrong with sacrificing criminals (rapis.ts, terrorists, murderers, etc.) on the Altar huh Its a good thing. They will be killed anyways.

In fact, todays justice system is very weak. If human sacrifice is initiated, then justice will be more efficient. We Nigerian dont need to follow other worlds. We need to carve our own path of progress and development, just like China.[/quote]You really need to be arrested! So you are the guy who has been stealing the children and sacrificing them abi?
Christianity EtcRe: Speaking In Tongues Medical Study Proves Holy Spirit Praying by rastamouse: 7:49am On May 08, 2012
As one poster rightly put it, if you are ignorant about something, just don't comment on it. Do any of you guys know that speaking against the HOLY SPIRIT is one of the treasonable sins before GOD? For those calling speaking in tongues all sort of names, what will you do in judgment when you realize that it was indeed from the HOLY GHOST?

Light will definetely shine on darkness. This madness cannot continue forever. I know that the LORD will repay these guys back in their own coins.

I pray for the souls of those who have been needlessly massacred by these thugs since they started this nonsense. A word of advise to everyone is "Live today like Boko Haram is going to strike you the next hour." Prepare because if you should be a victim of these senseless bombings anytime soon, what account will you give GOD?
