Christianity EtcRe: I Abandoned Religion And God Today. I'm Free. by rastamouse: 11:41pm On Apr 18, 2012
logicboy: The mental gymnastics that you're going through to fit the bible into reality is just amusing. So God has the same immortality and mortality as human beings? So, God can die in a human form like us and has immortality in spirit form like a human soul?


As for the good samaritan, if he will be judged on his efforts, then I too will be judged on my efforts and not on my atheism. grin
Where is the stress? David is doing a great job pointing out the facts to you but as arrogant as you are, you will not listen.

bigd4050: No I'm not. They deviated from the original church that the apostles set up. They were the first denomination IMO.
So you as a Christian have a differing opinion from other Christians?

all4naija: Where do you come from if not amoeba(as you are trying insinuating)? God creating you out of dust is the most stupid thing about creation because human is 80 composition of water.
Are you kidding me? Do you know the composition of the solid part of the body? Do you know that it has been scientifically proven that man is indeed a dust? http://christwire.org/2009/05/from-dust-to-man-a-scientific-proof-for-intelligent-design/

@9-zeros

You could do better than what the link says. Let me address some of them to you...

That dude talked about the sun and the light. In the Bible, the sun is not the light. In fact in Revelation, the Bible tells us that there is no need for the sun in HEAVEN because GOD is the light. The sun was not created to be the source of light to the world...it was to separate seasons...

With that said, where is the contradiction when the Bible say GOD created light before the sun?

Another lame one is the claim that the Bible is not consistent on when Man and plants were created in relation to the order of creation. The creation was completed in Genesis 1. Genesis 2 gave details of creation. What Genesis 2:19 is saying is that GOD brought everything HE had created to man to name. Which part is contradictory?

Just read this from a guy who said he will point out contradictions: Please keep in mind that by "inconsistencies" I do not necessarily mean "contradictions." Even though accepted and common definitions of the two terms often make them synonymous, I make a subtle distinction which is reflected in at least some of the accepted definitions.

How do you take such a guy serious?

I am glad that you are not atheist. I really appreciate the fact that you believe that you did not come from an amoeba! I will check the link and get back to you.
Christianity EtcRe: The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Self-Control. by rastamouse: 8:38pm On Apr 18, 2012
Goshen360: Okay sir,

First, I haven't found in the scriptures where the Holy Spirit "came" upon a believer and he/she falls

Second, I haven't seen in the scriptures where a believer is "filled" with the Holy Spirit and he/she falls as we have seen that one of the fruit of the Spirit is Self Control, meaning, you can control yourself at the level of Holy Spirit "in" or "upon" you.

Third, symbols of Holy Spirit IS NOT Holy Spirit. Should symbols of Holy Spirit be Holy Spirit itself, then Jesus will also be a Lamb on four legs.....lol. Also, if symbols is Holy Spirit, then the Apostles should all be on the floor on the day of Pentecost burning and screaming from the burning fire.

Four, Apart from reverence to the glory or presence of God that makes ones jump, bow in reference etc, what i see in scriptures is demon manifesting through a possessed person and throwing such person on the ground, these would usually not be believers.

This is the purpose of this thread, the Holy Spirit when "filled" in us (as it cannot come upon us anymore) should not bring us down but upright and even at the Holy Spirit being filled in us, we have control over our self as fruit of the Holy Spirit is Self-Control. We need to know what's going on in the realm of the Spirit today in the body of Christ so as not to misplace the substance for the shadow. Also, we need to question the source of somethings in the body of Christ and know where it all comes from, slain in the spirit is one of them. grin

Let's see what you've got also sir.
Fair enough...

First I will address my point very well. When I say the SPIRIT come upon someone, I don't mean the person filled with the HOLY GHOST. If I am filled with the HOLY GHOST and lay my hands on you to pray for you, the HOLY SPIRIT will act upon you for the deliverance to take place. A classic example is when Peter prayed for Cornelius and his household. During Peter's narration, read what Peter said here:

And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Acts 11:15 (KJV)

The main point here is that you get filled with the SPIRIT from time to time. At those times, there is no falling, however when you are prayed for and the SPIRIT acts on you, you will fall.

I will come up with more scriptures later to support that argument.

I will like you on one on one on why there is NO GOD? Will you take up the challenge?
Christianity EtcRe: The "God Effect" In Years Of Some Scientific Study. by rastamouse: 7:44pm On Apr 18, 2012
Logic Mind: oh! i understand you completely. I also read the bible and it tells me something completely different from what you are saying. Don't take it personal, it's not your fault that the bible may have been mistranslated nor is it your fault that the editors separated chapters that weren't meant to be separated, however, that is what I and billions of people are presented with and that is the basis of my assertions.
If you can get the next generation of translators to do it properly and let the churches know and agree that chapters 1, 2 & 3 should be merged, then the "error" will be rectified and I would be wrong. But until, then, you are wrong and your bible contradicts you blatantly.
So this is the basis of your unbelief?

After that, I will also point out the greatest pitfalls of science to you.
Christianity EtcRe: The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Self-Control. by rastamouse: 7:35pm On Apr 18, 2012
Goshen360: ^
Okay, can we see where the Holy Spirit made people fall in the bible? Can you share it with us, where Holy Spirit came upon people and they fall? At least so we can both learn together.
I will give you the honor to tell me where falling down under the influence of the HOLY SPIRIT is not allowed.

logicboy: Rastamouse, so this is you in your true form? You and your bros just spouting random bible quotes and Jesus! lmao
Welcome to the Love of JESUS Logic Boy. I pray that GOD reveals HIMSELF to you tonight in your dream wink
Christianity EtcRe: The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Self-Control. by rastamouse: 7:23pm On Apr 18, 2012
Goshen360: @ rastamouse,

Now let's look at it together, if we can separate truth from errors in your statement. Can you stay on board sir?



First, this statement is half truth. I said half truth because, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit is ALL revealed in the word of God. To understand the word is to understand the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will NEVER go against the word especially when it authored the word.



A clear example of how the Holy Spirit stir people in line with the word of God, just as am saying. Yes the relationship with Holy Spirit is personal but it does contradict the word and when it manifest, it won't contradict the word also.
You have to be really matured in the scriptures to come up with the words in bold...Congratulations on that...

Coming back to the topic, I was trying to relay my personal experience as per the topic. I don't know about the staggering and the spinning but I have fallen under the influence of the HOLY SPIRIT before. No one pushed me and the experience is such peaceful. You will actually be falling but feel no urge to resist it.

I still don't see anything wrong with falling when it is not faked. Is there a Biblical disprove of it?

musKeeto: @ rastamouse and bigd
Would the Good Samaritan make heaven? Why did Jesus commend not condemn Him?
LOL...JESUS used the Good Samaritan to teach us how to love other people unconditionally. That is just one of the many things that you will have to do in order to go to HEAVEN. Going to HEAVEN is not just about doing one thing right. In everything we do however, we must know that the basic need of every Christian should be "Believe in JESUS and HIS death for mankind"
Christianity EtcRe: Denominations In Christianity by rastamouse: 6:07pm On Apr 18, 2012
bigd4050: It should not be inevitable though. There are many scriptures that talk about the need to be united. That means in speech, action, and doctrine. To have so many denominations is a black mark on Christianity because it shows that we cannot agree on the truth of the Bible. It isn't necessary to disagree, and there weren't always denominations, so I'm not sure what point your trying to make.
Are you a member of the Catholic church?

Christianity EtcRe: The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Self-Control. by rastamouse: 5:53pm On Apr 18, 2012
Goshen360: @ rastamouse,

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and [one] sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4 nkjv

Question to you
Is the Holy Spirit Fire?
After "as of fire" sat upon each of them that made them "filled" with the Holy Spirit, Did they fall or stagger?
Goshen you have a point there but the HOLY SPIRIT cannot be fully understood. Relationship with the HOLY SPIRIT is personal and HE deals with each individual personally. With that said, the HOLY SPIRIT may choose different ways to manifest HIMSELF to different people.

A classic example is me and my wife. My wife has got the HOLY SPIRIT and she starts preaching to whoever is available when the HOLY SPIRIT falls on her. When the same experience come on me, I start praising the LORD in a way that I can never do without the SPIRIT.
Christianity EtcRe: The "God Effect" In Years Of Some Scientific Study. by rastamouse: 5:44pm On Apr 18, 2012
jmoore: First of all the bible said that God created the world. But the bible did not say how the process happened, be it by big b@ng theory or whatever theory some folks have come up with. But the main point is that he created the world.

There are scientific theories of various kinds about the universe, earth, living organisms and they keep mentioning billions or millions of years

Those billions/millions of years are wrong because of what I will call "God effect".

let me explain further. let's assume we go back to history, you can now see Adam a day after he was created. How old is Adam? God created Adam as a man and not as a baby boy. Let's say one should be called a man when he is 25 years old. Now you have seen Adam,a day after he was created and he is a fully grown man. It is wrong to say that Adam is 25 years old. Yes, it sounds kind of weird but that's the truth. He should be a day old. A day old who is fully grown man.

If you apply what I explained above to the beginning of universe, world and other living organisms, you will see that these billions and millions of years is definitely wrong. This "God effect" has eluded the reasoning of many scientists, even some christians.
Sounds plausible to me. The fact that GOD created the world from nothing does not mean the planet was created a day-old. Like Adam, the planet could have been billions of years old when it was created. Remember that time does not exist with GOD.

Great analogy my bro
Christianity EtcRe: The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Self-Control. by rastamouse: 5:34pm On Apr 18, 2012
Goshen360: Galatians 5:22-23 mentioned the fruits of the Spirit. Doing a word study on each, I had to purse and ask myself a question about shadow of things the charismatic are presenting to the body of Christ today. I found Self-Control very interesting yet I see people fall in churches/T.V with catchers standing behind to catch them. If a believer is said to have the Holy Spirit, does he/she still have to stagger and fall under these so called charismatic slain in the spirit?
Aren't you missing the two? When the SPIRIT comes on you, so many things can happen. On the day of Pentecost, there was earthquake and tongues of fire. Some dramatize the whole thing but I have a personal experience of the fall. It is very true in my case.

Christianity EtcRe: FOR CHRISTIANS Only....(no Atheist Please) by rastamouse(op): 5:25pm On Apr 18, 2012
bigd4050: I agree Rastamouse is epic failure, but God didn't directly create it. Someone who makes propane tanks does not directly create a fire when one explodes. God created the plants, but because of sin, Christians believe that everything is tainted. In a perfect world before sin, leprousy did not exist.

And I won't say they are fools, I like to show more respect and our good friend Rastamouse still needs to learn that. The Bible does call them fools, but no need to blast all atheists like that. The won't be saved, because they don't believe in God. They are the smartest people, very intelligent, but if they end up in Hell, what good is their intelligence?

You just keep failing
That my friend is called works and they do not gaurantee Heaven. What guarantees going to Heaven is believing in JESUS and HIS sacrifice to the world. Can we move on? I have been repeating myself too much grin
Christianity EtcRe: FOR CHRISTIANS Only....(no Atheist Please) by rastamouse(op): 5:05pm On Apr 18, 2012
logicboy: 1) Yes, according to you, Bill Gates is a fool. Bill Gates that is tackling malaria in Africa with science. A fool just because he doesnt accept your religion. Do you really feel righteous after calling Bill Gates a fool? You have never met him while he has helped your Continent.

2) You said "For your information, GOD never created leprosy".

So you are now saying that God didnt create leprosy? How did it come about? I though God created every natural thing? Leprosy is caused by a bacteria- aliving thing. Didnt God create animals and plants? God did not leave a cure for leprosy. God only cured lepers in the middle east and neglected thosein other parts of the world like a racist douchebag

3) Souls do not exist. If you can describe a soul as well as you can describe a table or a chair, then I would beleive
grin grin grin grin grin @the bold...why do you give me this task? eii... tongue

On a serious note....

1. Why do you think this is about me. I am telling you that I am calling the guy what the Bible calls him and you don't seem to get it. If you think that because he supports Africa and that makes him superhuman, that is your believe but as far as I know, anyone who declares that there is no GOD is a FOOL.

2. I will say it again, GOD never created leprosy! Leprosy is a condition and like thousands of other conditions, it is brought about by several factors. Why that happens, I don't know but it is one of the things that I will ask GOD if I make it to HEAVEN someday cool

3. You know that is impossible. If I can't convince you on something as obvious as you were created, how then can I describe a soul to you!

dare2think: Dear Friend,

If doing these wonderful acts;

-Bringing world peace
-Ending famines
-feeding every child
-stopping human trafficking

have no relation to God, then one must wonder what kind of God you are serving!

I have always felt some sort of 'selfishness' with religious people! Its really sad.

One would have thought that they, 'religious folks', would be the most tolerant set of people. But alas, bigotry is the order of the day.


It either our way or hell/destruction! Since there are several hells including the islamic hell and the Christian hell, there seem to be no hope for humanity!

Every one is going to some sort of hell.
It's farcical and hilarious
Why is this so difficult for you to understand? if you can stop human trafficking, bring world peace, end famine and feed every needy child, what will prevent you from accepting JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR? It is not like making the decision will cost you anything

About Catholocism, perhaps your Catholic church did not praise Mary as God, but I know some do. Besides, who else in the Bible is called holy besides Christ? Praying to Mary for anything is wrong, she is not God.

And no, bringing world peace does not make you a Christian, its not a works based thing. You have to have relationship with God and be serving him through those actions.
Do you know that the Catholic Church is a universal church?
Christianity EtcRe: FOR CHRISTIANS Only....(no Atheist Please) by rastamouse(op): 4:45pm On Apr 18, 2012
bigd4050: I can completely understand why you think that way, especially with rastamouse's inexcusably pathetic defenses.

I think of it like a parent to child relationship. The parent gave birth to the child, owns the house the child lives in, and so in turn everything in it. The parent lets the child run around and play and do what it wants, but if the child gets a toy, while the parent lets the child keep it, the child does not have the money to buy its own toy. Bill Gates has invented some great things, but his mind is given to him by God, the materials for making computers or discs with Microsoft Word on them are God's. He created everything so all things are his. Bill Gates still deserves his money, but he did not just bring Microsoft Word together out of thin air.

As far your argument against sickness, why is it bad that leprousy had no cure then? There was simply not the technology to find a cure before sceientists did. Jesus healed people of their leprousy in the Bible, if that is what you mean.
What is this funny guy saying? shocked

logicboy: Lol......that's the point. Even if God owns them, he doesnt own their creations, he did not create their creations, they did it themselves. So, for you to use their gadgets and call them fools is only testament to your disgusting hypocrisy and ungratefulness.

Have you asked yourself why you have served God, yet atheist countries do better than your country (which has less than 1% atheists). Also why is it that atheists are contributing to humanity more than what you christians or your god did in this present day? Your God brought leprosy with no cure but modern scientists (respected scientists who are majorly atheists) have cures for leoprosy at its infant stage.


If you really believe that Bill Gates is a fool, then stop using your laptop, the bible says that you should avoid a fool, lest you engage in his foolishness. Stop using facebook. Dont use Japanese cars. Lets see how your life plays out
LOL...very funny...

I don't know why you are pressing to get gadgets into this argument. For your information, GOD never created leprosy (it is a condition like millions of other conditions). GOD healed leprosy (I mean advanced ones, not infant leprosy that you brag about), thousands of years ago and continues to do them this day.

You can be the world's richest person and still be a fool. How did the riches of the rich man end him (the story of Lazarus and the richman)? That is the problem with you atheist. You measure success with material things but the Bible state clearly that one can gain the whole world and lose the most important thing (the soul).

Which one will you want- a flashy moment on this earth or eternal peace?
