You're understanding the Bible stories with a carnal mindset. Every Bible story is meant to pass a message hidden in it. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide your understanding and you would be fine.

you that the holy spirit has guided, pls help me understand how a man gave away his most precious secret 4 consecutive times to a woman who was obviously betraying him..

And how the whole tribe of philistine could be so stupid to ignore the strength of their most dreaded enemy in their captivity.


Pls help me understand

I'm sure we are all familiar with the story of the strongest man ever in the bible. Mr Samson.

Let me tell u reasons I feel this story never happened and I really wonder what the writer was thinking of.

Samson was a man given ultimate power by Yaweh but fell in the hands of Delilah to the philistines. The story of his fall is the most absurd story ever!

Delilah tried to get the deepest secret samson ever had, the secrets of his power...and the story went like this:

1st attempt: After much pressure, Samson gave Delilah a wrong answer "If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."

And behold the very next day, Samson was bound with seven green withes..


People tell me, even the most stupidest person in the world will realise at this point he has been betrayed, but dont laugh yet as there was attempt no 2

No 2: After the 1st failed, the strongest man had no clue his most precious secret has been given away by the only woman he told but went ahead to bow to more pressure and he gave another wrong answer as "If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."

Behold, the very next day, his hands were tied with the new ropes but is it not amazing that he still had no clue he was being betrayed?? Now at this point I am almost passing out of shock for this level of stupidity if it ever existed


Attempt no 3: Yes there was a 3rd attempt, believe me a 3rd attempt !!!!!
"If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
and yet it happened again.


Winner01, Anas09, 4everGod...pls how do u guys believe this story
Even if someone is cursed with stupidity, it cant be this terrible to give a 4th chance of eventually revealing his most precious secret to som1 that has betrayed him 3 times consecutively..

Aba!!! bible stories??

Now guys, don't laugh off your eyes yet because the part that killed it all was after the philistines cut off his hair and finally caught the most dreaded enemy of their generation.

These guys knew his source of power was his hair, but it is astonishing that a large number of stupid people did not know hairs can grow...or did not know that they would need to shave off his hairs daily but they let him alone till his hairs grew back.

The writer must be drunk, no no but christians believe this!!!! people like KingEbukasBlog and Pidgin2 believe this...this is the part my imaginations can no longer handle.

But science is still finding it hard to find the relationship between hairs and physical strength

Pls Christians help me understand ur delusions

foladara777:
U are comparing divorce with slavery?? And are u implying that God couldn't make a law against slavery because the people liked it?? Because that idea is against the notion that God is omnipotent.
And why did Jesus, the cooler version of his father fail to forbid slavery the same way he forbade divorce?? Or he considered divorce worse than slavery?

Stop entertaining that guy with a response...The trash he has said is enough for the night

Christians trying hard to defend their delusions

chrmn1:
Hi friend. There is such a thing as the permissive will of God (Romans 12:1-3). If I marry a harlot today, God puts His stamp on it because I have signed on the dotted line. He puts His stamp on it not because He feels it's the right thing to do but because He'll always honour a contractual agreement between parties so long as there was no force or duress involved. God will only give the terms in which both parties are to conduct themselves in such a relationship. Regarding slavery in those days, it was a mutually beneficial contract between parties and usually the bondservant would rather stay with his master and serve him because of the provision he/she would get as a result. It was sort of a business engagement that involved terms and conditions and God would work with them even in that context. Here's what He says masters should do in return:

"And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him" (Eph 6:9)

@bolded, I can't believe someone will type this.

Do u have any idea what slavery is at all?

KingEbukasBlog what do u 've to say about this., this guy just insulted common sense

You should be ashamed of yourself

shukudi:
in case you don't know, you and your descendants will go into extinction before mine because I don't peep into my neighbor's yard across the fence. Your darkened intelligence wrapped up in slavery want the black race to progress and you are here running after people who don't know you exist. Why not gather ppl of the same mind set like into a research lab and come up with something meaningful, then you watch as you influence the black race with your results. Instead, your reprobate mind goes online attaching ppl who choose to believe in whoever they want. Abeg carry ur filthy mind enter soak away make better ppl inhale fresh air this morning. Omo e.gbe.

Believe me I found this hilarious, mehn I could be badt,...making an old man's head get hot early morning.

bt ur comprehension is low, who spoke of your descendants going into extinction? I spoke of your mindset and typical african attributes of neglecting issues and attacking personalities....which u are still doing.

And like it or not, black race shall progress away from ur stone age mentality and people of your ideology shall only be appreciated in history books when talking of the age of regression

Tosinayoko:
Does your mama teach you anything about respect? I'm not your mate so mind how you talk

Black man, black head...talking of respect when your ancestors in multitude were enslaved in their own land by a small group of whites..

And when you are still living in mental bondage, talking of respect should be the least of your worries

shukudi:
with your high IQ, what have you achieved in life? Yet you come online to criticize people who are minding their business. What have you done in science, commerce, etc? Did the people @ shillo beg you for money to attend the programme? If Adam smith, Isaac newton, Einstein, robert hook, bill gate and co wasted their time and life delving into the affairs of people around them, they would not have achieved anything in life. So mind your business and come up with a solution for your generation and people will honour you for that. Boda Solo!

This type of comment is not unusual especially from a typical African.
likes of your poor mindset are still in abundance in our generation reason for our backwardness...

But fear not, I see a future where ur kinds would ve gone into extinction giving room for the black race to progress.

Learn to discuss issues, think of solutions and dream of way forward

Tosinayoko:
Have you attended any of our churches? If yes, you would know that the members ain't poor. Infact, the number of the rich is far higher than the so-called 'poor'
Eg I am 32, yet privilege to have a 3-bedroom flat of my own.
Pls I'm enjoying this my mumu oooooo

And u think having 3 bedroom flat is a privilege gained by allowing mere mortals like urself lay hands on your head and prophesying B'S...?

Like I said, universal laws 've no regard for religion..., Muslims, pagans, Buddhist, atheists etc can achieve any result by channelling the right resources and having a bit of luck.

let me make it easier for u to comprehend. If a Christian and a Buddhist jump off a storey building, they shall both obey the law of gravity...

i do not wish to brag about personal achievements, I dont give my brain to any man of whatever god, I'm not even close to 30 but...lemme stop here

I'm sorry I underestimated ur mumuness

Tosinayoko:
Please my brethren in the Lord.... Do not let anyone rob of your divine encounter with God Himself by engaging you with unnecessary argument.

Let our heart be focus on God and keep on engaging him just as the Prophet over this commission as instructed this morning.

Demons tremble at His presence
What amighty God we serve
Glory Glory Hallelujah
Everything written about Him is great

He is surely Great.

Yesterday night, during our dinner at the meeting of angels of Satan..we strategize on how to ensure Yaweh promises and blessings shall elude christians.

yes we are all over to make sure u dont attend this end of year programmes...


mumu people

TWoods:
lol your case is different? Yet your country is still one of the poorest in the world, your exchange rate is N500 to $1, you import toothpicks from China and you're busy fasting for a US visa. The problem isn't God or the bible, it is the gullibility of the average African who thinks life's problems are solved by how many religious slogans you can chant.

Yes your case is different... and your pastor is busy smiling all the way to the bank.

Your case is different, this year is my year, double Blessing, double portion, bla bla bla
poverty and foolishness still reign in their lives.

religious chants won't save anyone but practical and realistic approaches to problems and challenges does.
And it is no regard for any religious sect. universal laws will always work for anyone irrespective of religious beliefs, people only return to praise their gods when things work out for them and say their gods knows best when it goes otherwise.

Me just dey watch how the gullible ones get played by these professional con artists.

It's end of year, religious folks looking for miracles, business is booming for the holy billionaires, watch out for more and more end of year bonanza

Seun:
He's bragging about his health. Apparently he has never worked harder than he worked this year. But from his looks, he's obviously aging.

Businessmen struggle financially because they dont pay tithe. Finance is a non-issue for him because of his tithes, (not the offerings he collects)

It's so sad....The degree of backwardness of people cannot just be imagined..it beats my comprehension that multitude can be this low in IQ.

This energy should be channel to research centres, science labs, hospitals, technology development, innovations, economic principles


But here we have a multitude that have buried their brains and decided to follow after a professional con artist expecting miracles to fall on them.


I weep for this race, so sad

jonbellion:
lol Noahs ark
Really
You really really believe that all the animals in the world enters a wooden boat created a drunkard who didn't have the slightest clue on architecture and physics to escape a storm that would easily capsize the USS Zumwalt, the largest destroyer ever built for the US Navy
You really believe this
Ooh my...

The most interesting part of the myth is that we are all descendants of Noah.

Blacks, Arabs, Chinese, jews just name it and the billions of people on earth today came from that family all within 5000 years...what a miracle!!!

And it's more interesting that we have ancient civilizations over 8000 years with no record of any flood...

Talk of myths, we have the king of delusions and deluionsed people.

it beats my imagination to see some1 like KingEbukasBlog believing this. I'm astonished to believe religious folks have an issue with thinking

KingEbukasBlog:
Which Yahweh , the imaginary one ? How can you link murders and murderers to an imaginary being ? I thought you said Yahweh does not exist ?

Don't u discuss movies...

I watched batman movie and I'm like "that joker guy I hate him, wow batman was awesome."


Don't be funny man. we are all free to discuss our childhood bible fairy tales

LadyAnn:
@Realmindz have you ever considered the option of you being wrong about Jehovah God? About Christianity? Are you an atheist? What if you are wrong? I don't know which part of the world you reside and who is confusing you. The west, is my likely answer. I most definitely wouldn't assume Nigeria/ or other African countries because children are taught from birth to believe in something. Be it Islam or CHristianity. I am going to assume you live in the UK. The USA is a fundamental Christian Country and only a small percent of the population are atheists. Which leaves good ol Blighty...We are the ones who have lost our way and gone bananas. It's a crying shame considering the fact that Britain spread Christianity all over Africa. Smdh. Anyway my dear, I would hate to say "I told you so" come judgement day. Please don't make me scream out looking for realmindz just to start shouting "in yer face dude". These are the end times and your salvation depends on it. I wish I had a 1:1 with all of you atheists in the building for a rational discussion.

Good question.

And I'll take my time to respond to u politely...
I'll modify with a response wen I'm less busy

Jokerman:
God created life, he also has the power to take it away, as he deems fit buh the Devil created no life hence he has no right to take away life....

Dear Nairaland,

Behold I present to you the daftest comment of the year 2016.

congratulations to you

Jokerman:
Devil is the originator of sin... he cut human being away from God...

Common sense should tell you that when God gets angry, even the Devil or FSM can't fight for you, or plead on your behalf...

how has that answered the question


ok let's play a game.

Tell me one person that Satan killed in the bible
And I'll tell u one person Yaweh killed

LadyAnn:
Nuff Said!!!!

Noah stoy is a fairy tale

That the whole world was flooded and all the animals in the world were represented in a boat and all humans today are descendents of Noah..

Funny Jewish myths

Jokerman:
The greatest villian is the Devil, the father of Liars...

how many people were reported to ve been killed by Satan in the bible and how many people were killed by Yaweh.

Answer that and we 've d answer of the true villain

pinkguy:
Say after me Baba God give me sense please..........I'm tired of disgrace my family

Hehehehe

LadyAnn:
If he wasn't referring to me I apologise. However he has no right to speak to pidgen2 that way either.

I know he'll probably crucify me for this but who cares? It's not exactly Rocket Science. I don't care how much wealth he's acquired. You can't buy class. Occupation is also no longer a guide to where anyone stands in that order. I judge social class in much more subtle and complex ways.... That's how I know. I am fitted with some sort of social Global Positioning Satellite computer that tells me a person’s position on the class map as soon as he/she begins to speak, be it verbally or written. LoL

Na so...Lool

LadyAnn:
Bye Felicia.... Ain't nobody got time for your rudeness. who are you calling a small girl? Your likes will tremble in my presence in real life and you have the audacity to call me "small yeye Girl" rudeness!!

I doubt he was referring to u, pidgin2 I suppose, the evil prophetess of doom.

And what makes u think u won't be d one trembling when u see him

.

LadyAnn:
*CHRISTIANS ONLY* Who Is Your Favourite Bible Villian And Why? -

This thread was for Christians only. You guys barraged in, took over with derogatory comments and you guys expect us to walk on eggs shells around you? No! We know the game that's being played here.

Funny thing, though.

Human nature is such that, on closer examination, the Atheist movement is full of the same weak, irrational, conflicted, myopic human beings that fill the ranks of the religious. We're all small -- tiny, really -- when compared to the grandeur of the Divine or the Universe. (Your choice.)

So, please. A little humility?

More than ever, God’s people need to be standing up publicly and unashamedly for the authority of His Word.

I still find it hard to understand how it is derogatory to say Elsiha with the help of Yaweh Mauled 42 kids for calling him a bald head...
Pls make me do if u can.

It's obvious u are not proud of those bible tales and u vent ur anger on us

we did not write the bible and I'm not elisha, if u have any issue, go confront Yaweh the Egyptian slayer and the bald avenger

Pidgin2:
Why did you not quote his insults against my God, the God my family and kindred voluntarily chose to serve? If realminds is equal to or better than God(Yaweh whom you insult), we shall know soon. This has nothing to do with me

i rly feel pity for your confusion, ur pains are pathetic and u wail like a baby....

it has nothing to do with u but u did all the miserable curses for ur miserable god, u are the one feeling his pains and wailing on his behalf......u see ur foolishness and confusion?

LadyAnn:
my poor bewildered frazzled brain
This guy has truly tramatized me. I hope this thread get closed ASAP.

lol, u don't 've to be traumatized. believe me.. and I never insulted u, I only pointed out the evil of Yaweh.
I said same to my cousin sister who is so close to me and she was depressed for almost a week that I called her Yaweh evil...

But that's the fact and she's beginning to see the truth about religion

I have come to realise that the god people preach is based on their individual emotions and that's why people hate and fight for their gods

no word for u Mr man

Christians trying hard to explain their delusions

Pidgin2:
Stick to the topic kid or you will be ignored hence forth. Read the initial post it says "top ten notorious athiest villains", boy if you don't have anything meaningful to add to this topic, you don't deserve a response kid, get lost. I'm pretty sure I have been exchanging words with a fourteen years old teenager, smoking weed in his uncle's backyard

I was being civil with u until u resorted to curses and I realised I was conversing with a mentally unstable individual

LadyAnn:
I don't blame him.... It's the spirit that is operating in him.

which spirit.... lol

You guys need help from all these fairy tales and delusions.

And what do u 've to say about her curses for her loving Yaweh..

Tell me, who is the real evil?

Pidgin2:
Good. I'm impregnated with peace and love.

Like the love Yaweh has for children right? whr u shall eat ur babies.. make babies for Yaweh and eat them together.
Ur Jewish demon can never be the true God of the Universe.
