Dtruthspeaker:Interesting analogy... |
Kobojunkie:The Creator is not the God of Israel. Some people adopted Jehovah and called him God. Follow my law or be punished is religion. No matter how they wrap it up in fancy nylons. If you believe life exists as a test, a trial, a period of putting you through your paces to see if you are “worthy,” theologies begin to make sense. If you believe that life exists as an opportunity, a process through which you discover or reinvent yourself then theologies seem insane. If you believe God is an ego-filled God who requires attention, adoration, appreciation, and affection—and will kill to get it—your theologies start to hold together. If you believe that the Creator is without ego or need, but the source of all things, and the seat of all wisdom and love, then theologies fall apart. If you believe that God is a vengeful God, jealous in His love and wrathful in His anger, then theologies are perfect. If you believe the Creator is a peaceful, joyous in Her love and passionate in Her ecstasy, then theologies are useless. I tell you the purpose of life is not to please God. The purpose of life is to know, and to recreate, Who You Are. |
Dtruthspeaker: ![]() If God has form, is he still everywhere? And if he has a male form, how is he a father without a female? ![]() |
Dtruthspeaker:Just as some people believed centuries ago that the devil caused illnesses... even Jesus, You know if He was born in this age, he would know viruses, bacterias cause illnesses, not the devil... Of course. He couldn't have known since he was God ![]() I don't need to believe in nairaland... It is tangible. It's like a man believing he is a man... And not knowing... |
Kobojunkie:Let me indulge you a bit... I know it might be disagreeable if went outside the bible... Isaiah 45:7, I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things ... 2. Wrong! God gave men a Law, Jesus Christ, and serving God, as God made clear from the beginning of scripture means obeying God's Law. Same way you would obey the Law of the land you live in, God calls on men to serve Him through trust and obedience of His Law.Moses ran from Egypt because he committed a crime of murder. Man had laws before God's ten commandments and guess what... The same law giver broke the law... Love your neighbor as thyself he commanded. The next thing, we read his command to his followers to wipe out the Canaanites, they were not just their neighbors but kinsmen. [Religion, however, is based, not on but the delusions of individuals, with no clearly defined boundaries and jurisdictions.As long as a God demands to be worshipped that is religion... It's cool to imagine that the proper example of how we should live is Jesus, but where was his compassion when his father killed children and wiped out nations? ![]() |
Sweetvie:I don't believe, I rather know given that belief is an assumption of knowingness. I don't believe I am on Nairaland.com... I know. I know there is a creator but he is not in my image, having nyash or sitting somewhere... that will mean that the creator is within his creation, thereby suggesting he is subjected to his creation... Instead, I know the creator is the All and everything exists within the All... It is laughable that a being God created could attempt to overthrow Him. I know that Yahweh, the self professed god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was adopted by a government and was christened God- a Norse word, Germanic. I know that religion is a tool in the hands of the political class and elite. I know the bible is not factual, neither is it without discrepancies or plagiarized history and legends. E plenty... ![]() |
Dtruthspeaker:Well, you are the one who is... Otherwise you won't defends belief? |
Nnamaka1:Can anything exist without God? If nothing can exist without God... Then selfishness and evil are of God... Delete the idea of good or bad when you imagine God... That's religion... Even the idea of serving God is still Religion... |
Nnamaka1: Why do you think the God that says the earth is flat, that erected pillars to support the sky or that stopped the sun from rotating over the earth is true?How the hell could he confuse his creation bro ![]() |
Dtruthspeaker:I doubt that God doesn't know what he wants that's why he would die to appease himself |
AkinwaleJJ:When you say God, which one? Is it the one of Israel or Allah or which one? Cuz there are at least 4000 Gods and more are coming up everyday... The people who brought you God are the looters fam... You should read your history to see how much the church made off the back of every slave or better still look through your bible and tell us how God made Abraham rich... ![]() |
wiseone28:Ask those who died if they needed one... ![]() |
AkinwaleJJ:He is not... It's you who is foolish |
jeromestarks:You must be talking about the same God who would punish a man for retaining the foreskin of the penis He created... ![]() |
That virginity is labeled decency is a problem... |
Sweetvie:Why does society seek to stop us from doing natural things? Na even society be the real culprit here. ![]() |
Kobonaire234:What the hell will I be doing with his support When we dump sense for nonsense... Voting doesn't change nothing unless we are alive to our responsibilities and dumb heavenly fantasies |
ArcFresky:Did you see where God enthrones whoever emerges? |
Alapy36:What is so bad if they Islamize Nigeria... What happened when the christianized the other part of the world? One who is a Christian, folds his arms and the Muslim arms himself... |
Kobonaire234:This is why Africa will stay a cesspool... The person messes up they leave it to God... Religion will never allow people to think straight or do the right things... |
Wiseandtrue:God sits on the fence all the time. What will it take for dumbass believers to understand that election is not a spiritual thing? If y'all don't participate the devil will rule... Idyots with the pastor included |
Righteousness2:Same sex relations senior your bible bro... Even Jesus kissed John, the disciple whom He beloved. ![]() |
ibechris:Thank you for this!!! |
ONUTOPSY:How can they borrow a body, still in the ground? The body is still decaying in the earth and yet the spirit borrowed it, without digging it out? Then the body disappeared? Can a body disappear? |
Is it possible that this is a measure to ensure other candidates asides the APC's do not have money to bribe electorates? How sure are we that there are no bullion vans of the new notes in a presidential aspirants property? Afterall, the CBN governor is a card bearing member... Would he work against the interest of the present administration? |
Stargurl20:Good morning... Having taken my time to read it, I must say it was beautifully written... Now, I don't think life works out the way we expect especially when it has to do with things we can't control... All of us are victims of happenstance, influences of societal norms, religion, culture, and so on... In other words, our desires are fine-tuned by these influences, not even those who might have the impression of how goodly there are, are free... Yet, going by the structure of our society today that heralds the traditional idea of what marriage should be as regards gender roles, it's not just the women who are its victims. [color=#FE0087]We have men forced to kill emotions because they are supposed to be strong and work hard by chasing their dreams while providing for their families. And the women, submissive, docile to become career home keeper... To the extent that everything about them is attributed to the goodliness or prowess of their husbands. [/color] So, if a woman or a man doesn't play by the conditioning of society, seeks to live as they desire, there would be partners who are conditioned, would deem them "deviants." Fortunately, the "deviants" would find more happiness in a "deviant" partner. However, if a "deviant" woman thinks she can live as she wants while being a wife to a conditioned man, there won't be happiness in her relationship, but clashes of interests. So, it is either she swallows her expectations and plays by the rules of society or gets out. To truly live, we have to make our own rules, pick up those things that give us fulfillment, forsake the societal idea of gender roles, and look beyond the norm. |
TakeNigeriaBack:Obi gave them 20m... The bread the rest were from the House of Assembly... |
His white shirt was soaking in sweat and leaving imprints of his white singlet. The ceiling fan wasn't doing a good job, and neither was the air conditioner functioning. He never liked sitting at a spot and giving a command, the field was where he was comfortable, towering before frightened enemies and snuffing life out of them, especially with his bare hands was the sweetest thing in the world. That was his previous life, where he would have risen to the rank of Major if he had not been set up and dismissed for smuggling guns and landed himself in prison for killing a man in a bar fight had Okwe Ocha not stepped in and saved him. Now, he was gaining fat in places he never believed. The man as large as three people and as tall as two, sat by a brown mahogany desk in a white-painted room that had colorful portraits and two resin heads affixed to the wall behind him. His forehead, shiny from sweat reached into his breast pocket and fished out a kerchief. This office had neither witnessed his presence nor that of the three men sitting at the twin divans set before a black-varnished table. And like the big man, they looked less gloomy almost like the semi-automatic rifles they laid on the table. Ogbuefi stared around the office, disgust etched in his eyes, he had taught Nze Ngalagu had better taste until he had to take over the reins of command for Lakeport at this critical time. The office looked superfluous even the resins were fake. He would rather prefer to look at the lawn and flowers lining the frontage of the building than waiting for the call in this crampy but this was not the time to do what you preferred. Today, they must tie loose ends. The interim Nze who had run the operations of Lakeport shortly after the death of the former governor, Nze Ngalagu, had gone missing for the past six hours, none of his stooges could get hold of him, say where he went or what happened to him. When he eventually turned up they were to eliminate him on sight. Then the case of the overzealous copper and Bola. The city was in a mess. This was what he feared when they began showing their might in the open. Okwe Ocha coveted secrecy in their dealings but they had started losing their grip on what had kept prying eyes blind no thanks to the public execution of Nze Ngalagu. Ogbuefi was the only one who objected to such a move at the meeting that decided the fate of Nze Ngalagu. He proposed a more shrewd act of injecting him with a dose of epinephrine but the other Nzes had countered him, they preferred the message to be loud. After much deliberation, the voice of the Ugo crackled through the telephone. He had bought into their idea but with a twist, a policeman was to take the shot before the public... The telephone rang and pulled Ogbuefi from his thoughts. In a second, Ogbuefi's ear was pressed into the receiver. He listened for a minute, nodded, and dropped the call. He waved the boys over, said a few words and they dispersed in urgency. |
