Mescopaul: A true believer has a provision made in which he can know if the devil or God is speaking, and John said it all in 1 John 4:1-3

Mescopaul: You're right, anyone who profess to know and believe on God must have his words and deeds in the same direction.

Those that profess God, God and their deeds are foul, foul are what Jesus referred to as hypocrites, Jesus also made it clear in Matthew 7:21, that not those that say Lord Lord shall enter His kingdom, but those whose actions are in accordance to their words.

Any believer you know personally who contradicts his or her actions with his or her words is a hypocrite.

Mescopaul: Nothin much to say here. As long as they refuse to retain God in their hearts, God has given them up to reprobate minds.

The counsel to atheists is this whosoever
was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.

Shallom!

Mescopaul: As believers our assurance lies on the redemptive work of our saviour on the cross.

The bible made us to know in Romans 8:16 that God's Spirit (the Holy Spirit) bears witness with our spirit that we are the children(saved, rapturable) of God.

Being children of God is the assurance we have of making heaven at last.

Ajibam: yes...if I don't know the purpose he created me for how will I succeed in doing it?

Ajibam: and what if mine is different?

aManFromMars: The first joke was an unmarried virgin giving birth to God. Na there the whole joke start.

Ajibam: I am justified by the holy spirit that gives me the assurance ...
don't call it bad spirit cos I have the gift of discernment

RationalDude: Most times, I just get amazed at what humans can do. Seeing how far we have gone in science & technology, art etc etc, sometimes I just think that there might be much at work here than just evolution.

dejilg: atleast it accounts for a Grand Designer which accounts for reasoning and our inherent sense of morality and why most rocks and our shoes dnt speak to us and many other things Science can't answer!!! I will only believe in Evolution when I can see any man created thing or object that is more complex than man himself!

dejilg: Oh look at me! Am a computer and I happened by chance/accident, wen d plastic industry, chemical lab and the black smith's workplace suddenly blow and mix together! And my friend is dictionary because the ink in d printing press exploded on the paper! ---- Evolution crap!

Reyginus: Okay. But you know this is not Darwins concept of Evolution. He saw Evolution as purely a change in structure constituting in higher function. The two must operate in unison. You don't agree with him then?

Reyginus: Now you want to take us back. Didn't it occur to you that before function changes the form must first change? If there is no change in form, how then is the psyche stage negotiated without a change taking place?

dejilg: For real? Growing is a form of evolution? Well if that's all to evolution then I have no problem with it...but that "baby" will only pass through d phase his ancestors passed thro'. No more no less! The baby doesn't develop wings or anythin at all...the ancestors ddnt evolve frm ape or wateva! They have remained as human as we are now! You also mentioned plato as evolved past his own time...but wud u agree to me saying that "I can walk on water"?

Reyginus: Then we can not say that what we experienced was Evolution. Evolution as we know it in this case must be biological for it to make sense in the light of Darwin's theory. I don't know if you get what I mean.

Reyginus: I don't think you answered my questiom. Let me simplify it.
Can there be an improvement in the operations of the thinking faculty of there is no change in the thinking faculty?

dejilg: From all you have typed now! It just so visible that for one to believe in evolution, a greater faith is required compared to believing in a "supernatural" being!...so now that u r a man of the 21st century, as a person wud u say u r wiser than plato? Obviously u have evolved right?

Reyginus: Hmmm. This statement is somehow. Is it assuming Evolution as innovation or a cahnge in fotm? If the latter how?

dejilg: Can anyone who has "sound logic" tell us why evolution
has been paused? Assuming evolution is even something to go by! Why haven't we been seeing d
world out of order of mixed animals in the so called
transition state? It amazes me how chicks have been known to come from eggs and yet the existence of eggs haven't ceased! Nor caterpillars...etc!

infonubia: I want to believe its ur first assumption.

RationalDude: Sentiments or not, my point is you can't just dismiss it like that. You should give reasons why it must be dismissed.

RationalDude: "what can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof" is self defeating since you can't prove the statement. What do you think about scientific theories that haven't be proven to be fact, should we just dismiss them like that?

RationalDude: Can you prove your statement then? Prove that "what can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof".

RationalDude: Is the creative power of humans a proof that humans were created by supernatural beings or a supernatural being?
