4kings:
Rhektor next time you should post your source in support of intellectual property.

Anyways can you please summarize what the writing is saying so I don't misinterprete it?

Source: http://apologeticspress.org/APContent.aspx?category=13&article=5464

Since you know the source I don't know what you are looking for again

It was because I was using a mobile phone that was why i was not really able to get all info out there. Thank you for stating the source though

joat247:
Hmm

Ehn? Na by force?

4kings:
I'm not an atheist, nor do i want to be one.
I've told you this before.

Now let me address the link you sent.
First of all: in an attempt to explain away verse 8 of Joshua 11, the author of the linked article makes his first point and writes thus:
"Herbert is trying to support a contention that "all" inhabitants of the land were killed. But Josh. 11:8 is only about Hazor (one city) and the defenders of Hazor."
This is a very big lie.
Look at Joshua 11:1-6: [b]1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, 2 And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west, 3 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh. 4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.5 And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. 6 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.[/b]
Now I believe after reading the above, every honest and sane individual would agree that King of Hozor called upon all the other kings of the tribe
of canaan to help him fight.

More so, the twelfth verse says: And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua captured, and struck them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

So this buttresses the point that it wasn't just the city of Hazor that was taken over but also the cities of the kings whom he called.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second issue: Here's another interesting point your link attempts to explain.
According to Judges 1:1 : "After the death of Joshua the Israelites enquired of YAHWEH, 'which tribe should be the first to attack the Canaanites?'"
Note: "first to attack"; this assumes Canaan had not been attecked, presenting another contradiction.

In an attempt to explain this away also, the author of your link makes this sly point: "first" does not mean "first ever in history" but "first in the present campaign"
This is not very impressive considering the following: In Joshua 18:9-10, it is written that the lands in the conquered Kingdom was divided amongst Joshua's men.
If we're to go with the point your link says, then we'll also have to assume that some group of people waged war on Israel and took back the lands before Joshua died and this detail was left unrecorded. I'm sure you now see why the second point does not make any sense.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Issue:
Your guy tries to also explain this contradiction.
According to Joshua 15:63 : As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.(which is an internal inconsistency by the way)

But here in Judges 1:21 : And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

Everyone can see the contradiction, but are the Jesubites not supposed to be dead. You guy reiterates that Jesubites were just possessed and and not all destroyed just Hazor. I've addressed this in the first issue. Also Joshua 14 :10 makes it very very clear.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fourth Issue:
I wanted to just skip this becuase it's tiring sef.
This is about the popular contradiction about David taking Goliath's head to Jerusalem in 1 Samuel 17:54, before conquering Jerusalem in 2Samuel 5:6.
Your guy has this to say: "In the political background of the ANE, cities changed hands quite often during military conflicts"
All i can say to this is WOWWWW! Make i no waste my time on this and i'll also skip the other David issue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fifth Issue:
About Moses promising to not give the land of Ammonites to the Israeelites in Deuteronomy 2:19 but doing so in joshua 13:24-25 after the war,your guy defends this and basically says that Joshua13:25 was talking solely about the lands the tribe of Gads had normally.
Just reading the verses yourself, and you'll see that rather verse 25 talks about the lans given to the tribe of Gad after the declaration in verse 24.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm busy and too tired to go through the rest, if you can debunk the points above, then list the others and i'll address them in my next response.

A paper published on July 27, 2017 sparked a series of headlines questioning the accuracy of the Bible. A study demonstrated that comparing the DNA of modern Lebanese with ancient Canaanites revealed a striking similarity between the two.1 By comparing the genomes of five inhabitants of the city of Sidon (from roughly 3,700 years ago) with 99 persons living in modern Lebanon, researchers estimated that the genetic similarity between the two is about 93 percent. Based on these findings, it is argued by some that the Canaanites were not destroyed as the Bible alleges.

Headlines after the publication of the study ran with the story, with several of them stating flatly that DNA evidence had proven the Bible wrong. David Klinghoffer, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, noted that numerous headlines (many of them originating in the United Kingdom) seemed to take a deliberate swipe at the Bible.2 He listed a dozen headlines from various news outlets that directly challenged the truthfulness of the biblical account of the conquest.3

In an age where attention-grabbing headlines can determine the number of clicks an article gets—as well as the amount of potential revenue from advertisers—this allegation is no surprise. However, it does expose the stunning biblical illiteracy in society today. To be fair, it may have been that the authors of the news articles simply took the following statement from the study at face value:

[T]he Bible reports the destruction of the Canaanite cities and the annihilation of its people; if true, the Canaanites could not have directly contributed genetically to present-day populations. However, no archaeological evidence has so far been found to support widespread destruction of Canaanite cities between the Bronze and Iron Ages: cities on the Levant coast such as Sidon and Tyre show continuity of occupation until the present day.4
Although the removal of the Canaanite population was commanded (Deuteronomy 20:17), numerous passages indicate the incomplete nature of the conquest (e.g., Joshua 17:12-13; Judges 1:27-33). One of the clearest failures recorded in the book of Judges is that the tribe of Dan in particular (or a large segment of it) remained nomadic instead of taking the territory allotted to it (Judges 18:1). The text indicates that this tribe had particular difficulties, later losing some of the land they had taken previously (Joshua 19:47).
The northernmost border of Israel’s territory was found in the allotment given to the tribe of Asher, which included the cities of Tyre and Sidon (Joshua 24:24-31). The text states that the Israelites failed to take this territory, so that the people of the tribe of Asher “lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out” (Judges 1:31; 3:3). Both Sidon and Tyre seem to have remained as independent city states. King Hiram of Tyre made treaties with both David and Solomon many years after the conquest (2 Samuel 5:11; 1 Kings 5:1; 9:13). Later prophets denounced the Phoenician cities of Tyre5 and Sidon,6 treating them as foreign political entities. The Bible never indicates that the Israelites conquered these cities or killed their populations.

The Homeric epics of the Iliad and Odyssey mention Sidon, known in the Bible as the home of Jezebel and her father Ethbaal (1 Kings 16:31). Jezebel’s royal seal—donated to Israel’s Department of Antiquities in the early 1960s—identifies her as the “daughter of the king.”7 The city of Sidon had a succession of kings and was powerful enough that the term “Sidonian” became virtually synonymous with the term “Phoenician.”8 There is no indication—either historical or biblical—that the Israelites ever conquered the city.

Tyre was a powerful and wealthy city also, enough so that it was able to establish colonies throughout the Mediterranean. It is no coincidence that Tyre experienced a golden age beginning precisely at the time when the Bible indicates that its king made important trade agreements with David and Solomon.9 Tyre had a long succession of kings who often ran afoul of more powerful nations. For instance, the famed Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III (747-727 B.C.) defeated a second Hiram of Tyre ruling in the eighth century.10 Later, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar plundered the city, which was subsequently razed by Alexander the Great in fulfillment of prophecy (Ezekiel 26).11 The biblical portrayal of Tyre—including its wealth, its continual problems with other nations, and eventually its destruction—agrees with the ancient evidence.

The Bible and ancient inscriptions both indicate that Israel never defeated Tyre or Sidon, a fact that seems to have eluded some critics. That the modern inhabitants of Lebanon should share such genetic similarity with their ancient ancestors should not be surprising. Phoenicia always remained independent of Israel despite any political or economic connections the two may have shared. Far from undermining the biblical text, the most recent findings concerning Canaanite DNA support the accuracy of Scripture.

LESSON FIVE
SUNDAY, 1ST OCTOBER 2017
TOPIC: THE SANCTIFIED LIFE
MEMORY VERSE: ‘’And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 1Thessalonians 5:23
BIBLE PASSAGE: John 17:9-23
INTRODUCTION:
In the Old Testament, sanctification frequently denotes the ceremonial or ritual consecration of any person or thing to God. Thus, the Hebrews as a people were holy unto the Lord, through the covenant with its rites and atoning sacrifices (Exodus 31:13). Sanctification is the second work of grace after salvation that every believer must experience. The understanding of the concept, process and practice of sanctification shall be dealt with in this lesson with the help of the Holy Spirit.
LESSON OUTLINES
Sanctification: concept and process
Practices and benefits of sanctification
SANCTIFICATION: CONCEPT AND PROCESS
To sanctify means to make holy, or to set apart for God (Genesis 2:3; Exodus 19:23). In a doctrinal sense, sanctification is the making, truly and perfectly, holy what was before defiled and sinful. It is a progressive work of divine grace upon the soul justified by the love of Christ. The believer is gradually cleansed from the corruption of his nature (John 15:3), and is at length presented “unspotted before the throne of God with exceeding joy” (Jude 24). The Holy Spirit performs this work in connection with the providence and word of God (John 14:26; 17:17; 2Thessalonians 2:13; 1Peter 1:2). Every Christian should seek to be holy even as God is holy (1Peter 1:15-16). The ultimate sanctification of every believer in Christ is a covenant mercy purchased on the cross. He, who saves us from the penalty of sin, also saves us from its power and to prepare for Heaven every willing and yielding believer.
PRACTICES AND BENEFITS OF SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification is the carrying on to perfection the work begun in regeneration, and it extends to the whole man (Romans 6:13; 2Corinthians 4:6; Colossians 3:10; 1John 4:7; 1Corinthians 6:19). It is the special office of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption to carry on this work (1Corinthians 6:11; 2Thessalonians 2:13). Faith is instrumental in securing sanctification, inasmuch as it secures union to Christ (Galatians 2:20), and brings the believer into living contact with the truth (John 8:32).
The more holy a man is, the more humble, self-renouncing, self-abhorring, and the more sensitive to every sin he becomes, and the more closely he clings to Christ.
CONCLUSION:
Are you sanctified? Are you ready for sanctification? Can you pay the price? We pray that you answer these questions correctly. The choice is yours.
QUESTIONS
What is sanctification?
How can it be experienced?

but they can raised fund on behalf of government to complement government work...then govt should also have a say to know who is donating or who and how is the money spent..

if ISIS or boko haram decided to donate to NGOs or vice-versa...u mean government should not be involve.. if an enemy country is also doing same,, govt shld not be involve ... abeg the Bill must fly

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL MANUAL
LESSON FOUR
SUNDAY, 24TH SEPTEMBER 2017
TOPIC: SALVATION EXPERIENCE
MEMORY VERSE: ‘’For the grace of God bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.” – Titus 2:11
BIBLE PASSAGE: John 3:3-8
INTRODUCTION:
The Hebrew and Greek words translated ‘Salvation’ are ‘yashuwah’ and ‘soteria’ respectively. This word is used for the deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians (Exodus 14:13), and for deliverance generally from evil or danger. In the New Testament, it is specially used with reference to the great deliverance from the guilt and the pollution of sin wrought out by Jesus Christ, “the great salvation” (Hebrews 2:3).
LESSON OUTLINES
1. Description of salvation
2. Instant and ultimate salvation
DESCRIPTION OF SALVATION
Simply put, it is to be born again, which in turn means going back to our origin. It is to have everything changed with an incorruptible seed planted in us (1Peter 1:23). It is that which changes the son of man to a son of God (John 1:11-12; Romans 8:15), thus becoming the partaker of the divine nature (2Peter 1:3-4). This implies that we are expected to experience: divine health because the same blood flowing in the vine flows also in the branches, divine vitality since Jesus is alive, we shall live too (John 14:19; John 10:10), the same power for the same works and even greater ones too (John 14:12).
It also means becoming a new creature which automatically follows that all things must become new (2Corinthians 5:17). All sins are gone (1John 1:7). Yokes are destroyed and now replaced with a peculiar nature (1Peter 2:9). Such are now members of God’s family (1John 3:9), that will not sin but with a new culture of love, unity, prayer, joy, faith, power and greatness (John 13:35; Ephesians 2:8 ).
INSTANT AND ULTIMATE SALVATION
After hearing the salvation message (Romans 10:17), the individual becomes saved through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. He confesses his sins, ask for mercy/forgiveness and accepts Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord (Romans 10:10; Acts 4:12; 16:31). This is absolutely the work of grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). This is the instant salvation. However, it is only those who endure to the end that will be saved (Matthew 10:22, 2Peter 1:10-11). This is the ultimate salvation. In between the instant and the ultimate salvation, there is a race to run and battles to fight: storms, mockery, false accusation, temptations, persecution, trials of faith, etc (1Corinthains 9:24-27; Hebrews 12:1-4; 2Timothy 2:3-5; John 16:33).
Therefore, there is the need to constantly work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). We must put on the whole armour of God to be able to stand to the end (Ephesians 6:12-18 ). As much as the instant salvation is grace, the ultimate involves some work. Those seeking for ultimate salvation must, therefore, be watchful (1Peter 5:8 ), prayerful (Matthew 26:41), patient (Hebrews 12:1) and run lawfully (2Timothy 2:5), confessing victory all the way.
CONCLUSION:
Today’s lesson must have unveiled some foundational truths about salvation to us. It is only wise to give allowance to the Holy Spirit to help relay this aspect of spiritual foundation to glory. Why not pray and decide for Jesus Christ today.
QUESTIONS
1. Define salvation.
2. What types of salvation exist?

Where's referendum in Nigeria's constitution?

How does all he said affect us directly in anyway?
How does this solve our domestic challenges?
What is our business with North Korea and US wahala?
I bet he didn't write this speech cos he was sick half the time all the nuclear threats were made.

Oh Lord, we need someone that will take our problems to the UN.
We have security issues, Biafra agitation yet unsolved, unemployment sky rocketing; I expected his speech to even propel foreign participation in Nigeria to increase employment. And on how they can help us return our stolen money to us not all what he just read out.

I guess you need a beggar not a president.
Read the speech again this time without sentiment and then analyze it critically. Tell me if Nigeria wasn't in the picture of all he said

xynerise:

Countries in the lake Chad region?

If there is any stuff called `hypocrisy', this speech is an epitome...

If there is any place called `hell', then I am sure of one candidate to go over there...

The continual existence of this hardened hypocrite and doomed soul is the reason why I keep on questioning the existence of God. But God exists and he exists in his own time and space and not in our own time and space...He will act in due time.


Today it is Igbos, Ipobs and Abians...
Tommorrow it will be you...

I am Igbo by default and dubbed `Nigerian' by British setting...one day God will surely reset my current setting

The same God that does not exist in your time and space?

LESSON THREE
SUNDAY, 17TH SEPTEMBER 2017
TOPIC: THE SECRET PLACE
MEMORY VERSE: ‘’He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." - Psalm 91:1
BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 91:1-16
INTRODUCTION:
The term "secret place" comes from the Hebrew word "cether" which means "to hide or be concealed". Other words for secret place include shelter, covering, or a dwelling place. One who abides in the secret place of God dwells in an ascended place of rest, lifted up above principalities and powers. It is a place of protection from trouble; where God surrounds you with deliverance (Psalm 32:7). It is a place of His holy concealment in all things, where God reveals heavenly secrets to you.
LESSON OUTLINES
1. How to enter the secret place
2. Benefits of being in God's secret place
HOW TO ENTER THE SECRET PLACE
We can gain access into God's secret place through a life of holiness (Psalm 15:1-5), praise, thanksgiving and prayer of faith (Psalm 100:3-4; Jeremiah 33:3). We must walk away from the clamour and enticements of the world (1John 2:15). Our hearts must be quiet before Him as we allow Him investigate those inner thoughts we reveal to no one else (Isaiah 30:15; Psalm 139:2). To connect with God, we must avoid distractions (Matthew 6:6; Mark 1:35). We cannot join God in His secret place unless we are willing to be transparent and honest with Him (Psalm 69:5; 139:7). We must not dwell with the ungodly (Psalm 1:1; 2Corinthians 6:17). A consecrated and sanctified life is a prerequisite to gaining access into God's secret place (Leviticus 20:7; Psalm 24:3-4).
BENEFITS OF BEING IN GOD'S SECRET PLACE
The benefits of dwelling in God's secret place include:
1. Closer fellowship with God (James 4:.
2. Living a holy life becomes possible (Isaiah 6:1-5).
3. Self-assessment of our faith will be enhanced (2Corinthians 13:5).
4. Fruit of the spirit takes root and grows (Galatians 5:22).
5. Our gaze is focused on Christ and things of eternal value (Matthew 6:19-21; Hebrews 12:2).
6. Divine protection and deliverance (Proverbs 18:10; Psalm 91:13-14).
7. Divine authority and attention (1Kings 17:1).
CONCLUSION:
God wants us to dwell in His secret place; not to visit. In God's secret place, no evil can come near us.
QUESTIONS
1. How can a believer enter into God's secret place?
2. What are the benefits of dwelling in the secret place?

Empiree:
u noticed his trash too

Yes there's only one God but that God manifest in three persons
Don't compare your human limitations to that of God, God is limitless. The problem Muslims have in grasping thus I just that they compare God with humanity. Humanity has too many flaws, as human can not see two cities at the same time but God sees the whole world at a glance.
