darkchild64: I feel the same way,the fact that I can say "in Jesus name" and it means absolutely nothing to me says it all ..
Hey long time no see. You are getting smarter by the month. The almighty Jesus don't mind you calling him the way you do. But check what happens when the name Jesus is used by a sincere believer. The results that manifest are a thousand times superior to anything lowly science can produce.
Go on using the name Jesus the way you do, it fits in with your destiny. Free choice, free will.
frank317: Lol... U wanna exchange banter like kids... I ain't got that time...
People like u are the real reason God does not exist. Imagine the creator sending this kind fellow to tell the world about him... Is ur God schizophrenic?
Would You like to learn more about Schizophrenia ? The opportunity is right in front of you. Simply examine supermans response to Johnydon22's superior reasoning.
frank317: I really don't understand what u are unto... He has clearly given u probable reasons why his experience may different from the norm in ur world. - his attitude towards religious people - his personality - the fact that he does not leverage on anyone
Recall he has not expressly advice that Martinez should go about proclaiming his non believe. He has also advised caution and necessity.
I think u owe him an apology for calling him a lair. Was that even necessary?
Wow even I am impressed by your deep understanding of what Johnydon22 had said. Go gentle on superman, he too used to crashing into everyone's views that he momentarily forgot that he was criticising a much wiser atheist.
I see the problem now. Sorry about that. I thought you were using your attitude and success to argue that if atheists will hardly face hostility from christians if they were like you.
Sorry again. I somehow misinterpreted your original comment
The OP is very serious about the fear and sorrow that atheism births, yet you habitually misunderstand everything that has been said. Stick to your strongest character which is mockery and insults of innocent people that has done you no harm.
No one can escape spiritual law. The symptoms of mental illness is already evident for all to see.
What do you call a person that repeatedly and willfully coward innocent people ?
frank317: Why do I have a feeling that this silly blabbing is making u feel like a champion
So You are feeling confused and depressed. A professional solution would be for you to hid your atheism. Then disguise yourself and execute a cyber attack on innocent people for sexual relief. Psychologists recommend a dozen pornography movies per day to satisfy your uncontrollable urge to harm innocent believers.
Martinez19: I know but some people do deprive others of their right and get away with it. I such a case, there is nothing one can do eg. If a lecturer purposely fail you here in Nigeria, there is nothing you can do.
For every action there is a reaction equal and opposite, this is also UNBREAKABLE spiritual law. You as a Satanic atheist have mocked and insulted millions of innocent people and worked hard to deprive them of their spiritual rights.
The secret is that Atheists have agreed to violently attack and curse a God they claim can never exist.They have made a pact to beat up this non-existent God and his Son JESUS CHRIST.
It is well known that inmates in a Mental Asylum exhibit such behavior constantly. I am aware that Sonofthunder finds this hilarious. Atheist behaviour is like a script out of a horror movie.
Be careful, this is not a genuine Religious forum, Christians get banned for countering the insults and mockery of resident atheists.
The foundations of Atheism has collapsed like the Berlin wall.
Martinez19: It's a lose-lose situation. The girl had a device that caught the lecturer soliciting for sex. In the exam hall, there are no telephone devices allowed that will enable you to compare what you wrote in the examination and the script they will release if you sue them. Even if you did, they could suspend you for bringing phone to the examination hall. If you nailed the lecturer successfully, his friends will frustrate you.
Your fear is based on your own imagination of what you will do to believers in the same situation. Atheist lecturers are know to have victimized students who are Christian.
Pataricatering: it’s not islam that will wipe Christianity out ! It’s science , atheism and the internet that will wipe Christianity out ! You people are wasting your time shouting Islamization while neglecting the real problems !
I get your point, but have you not heard that Atheism has been conquered after the core of their insane belief system was publically exposed and is now globally mocked.
See for yourself, how atheists insult and mock a God they all agree has never existed. This behaviour was previously only witnessed in a Mental Asylum. Now it is in every public place.
Nwatiti24: God can not allow it to happen. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church
Well said. Also remember what Jesus Christ said, "I will be with you always."
CHRISTIANITY has been under vicious attack since its beginning more than 2000 yrs ago and always won.
Why is CHRISTIANITY the only world religion targeted for destruction by SATANIC forces ?
It is because Jesus demonstrated daily what God want for his people. It is mind blowing instant healing, demonic deliverance and personal blessing that defy lowly science and the inferior intelligence of SATANIC atheists.
greatnaija01: maybe if he said 250 years, BUT NO NATION is strong enough to stop Christianity 100%.
You make a good point, but if the OP had added only two zeros and made it 2500 years, he would still be wrong.
CHRISTIANITY is indestructible because of who the almighty Jesus is. Then there is the awesome HOLY SPIRIT doing mighty works worldwide to encourage true Christians to overcome the enemy. The largest Olympic stadiums are continually filled to the brim and overflowing with people that come to receive the promises made in the Holy Gospels. The live public testimonies of millions prove that Jesus is reliable. He never fails.
Dumbest post ever! May God punish anybody that ever thought about this!
Your plans to brainwash people and divide this Great country Nigeria in a religious or tribal way shall be in Vain...
It is sad to promote hatred, religious and tribal bigotry in this country!
Coexistence is the way and the only humanitarian way...
I’m a MUSLIM and I believe in Jesus!
The western world has brainwashed people to extent that they bring religious rifts between different countries and civil war within a country.
They will also give you weapons to destroy yourselves and come back for peace keeping then they start stealing from you...
Don’t be brainwashed!!!
Correct. This is also the dumbest topic ever. For thousands of years atheists failed to destroy world religions. Now they hallucinate and predict the end of Christianity in 25 years.
You are right, they are good at creating religious wars.
Interesting. Jesus is eternally embedded in the Jewish Torah. Then it is also eternally embedded into the Qur'an making it impossible for the SATANIC atheists mission to succeed in their fierce battle to portray JESUS as a fictional character.
Today, Jewish Rabbi's and Imams together with kings and presidents joyfully worship and praise the almighty Jesus in public.
They testify that they have learned the hidden truth about Jesus from studying the greatest spiritual learning channel called Emmanuel TV.
thesicilian: Being forced to steal at a young age does not automatically make you a career criminal. At a point in your life, you make that decision to continue. Mike Tyson did not become a serial rapist because he was raped in childhood, did he?
Why are you lying ? Mike Tyson was a champion fighter when he was found guilty of rape. He was sent to prison where he continued to rape other inmates.
Ask the judge to send you to a different prison or you will be initiated with a spirit of man - homosexual.
vaxx: ...if I pressure you a bit hard on your belief now. You will end up with the usual fallacious statement. "I can not understand since I do not have the holy spirit"
Master your punches are deadly in a street brawl.. That dude will need long term therapy. In the heat of that battle you threw a punch that may later be interpreted as hitting below the belt. I admire and respect your wisdom on spiritual and scientific issues sir. Nevertheless I have been in many street brawls where I had to bite an ear to end the bullying.
The Holyspirit has been directing me into His Word and leading me into mysteries that have kept the church some what ineffective and delayed the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. This revelation came with a fierce spiritual warfare and I'm excited to let you know WE HAVE WON. We have won not only the battle but we have won the war by faith, that is in the spirit realm.
Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the presence of the Lord forever and ever, Amen.
The OP very refreshing. I am following.
I agree that the church is mostly ineffective because spirituality is poorly taught without practical demonstrations of the reality of the GOSPELS.
There are thousands of egotistical pastors that must never pastor a true Christian church simply because the Holy Spirit has not qualified them. They should rather step down from their exalted position of pastor and do a supportive role of evangelist.
True genuine pastors do what their Lord and master commanded of them when he said, "Go and heal, deliver them from DEMONS and bless, prosper them."
Jesus also made sure that no FAKE can enter pastorship when he said, " As my father sent me, so send I you."
justaqad: while the original (bible) cannot stand the test of time.who is fooling who?reason why atheist will forever bounce on christians is the chronological inconsistencies found in the bible the surposed word of God.
I simply can't believe what you are saying here in defense of SATANIC atheism sir. Have you not heard that the hidden secret reason why Atheists attack God and all loving believers in GOD?
bobowaja: OK let's see if you are going to make sense today.
Your first mistake is appealing to authority which atheists don't buy into unlike you guys.
Here is my own conclusion: Please check yourself into a mental facility, get it fixed and start using it.
And as usual he called on his fellow deluded human to come first so that they can talk first and occupy the front page and in turn give themselves the likes and shares they so much craves.
With All due respect given even to inmates of Mental Asylums, I had to edit out your psychotic ramblings till your medical check up is done.
When you told ButterFlyleo that atheists never appeal to authority, I knew right there that I must not sign your Asylum release form AGH 569.
There are too many experiential evidences flowing lovingly from the OP so I felt strongly that many parts could be extracted and liberally distributed across the world's forums to accelerate the liberation of mankind.
Here is only one brief extract for genuine truth seekers to enjoy;
"Since the existence of God is a reality (Yes I said that it is a reality so it is not a typo and is not open to debate either), an atheists mind protects itself from this rather profound reality through rejection of God’s existence using several psychological defense mechanisms such as i have observed in basically all Nairaland atheists. These psychological defense mechanisms are,
1) Rationalization
2) Repression
3) Displacement
4) Suppression and denial"
I know that somewhere out there, in a desolate mental asylum are honest atheists that have read this and jump for joy, shouting loudly that they have finally found the cause of their insanity. One inmate may say it like this, "Fok this destructive psychotropic drugs and pseudo scientific therapy, this truth has set me free. I AM FREE AT LAST !
hayoholla: most if not all athiest were once theist of various religion bro, I have never met any evangelical atheist, ....... relgion has little to do with spirituality. open your mind!
Those chaps you mention never understood their religions. Genuine churches and mosques are schools where smart people go to learn how to access the superior spiritual dimension. It is obvious that the atheists you refer to have failed dismally and has now turned their wrath against the very institutions they were once part of. The criminal aspect of their hatred is reveal by their cruel insults and mockery of sincere members of those spiritual training CENTRES.
You prove here that you are an armchair atheist because you never go out in search for truth. That is why you say you have never met an evangelical atheist.
Footnote: Study the tragic implications of what Butterflyleo revealed about the core of an Atheists belief, when he said that first they evangelize that there is NO-GOD, then they collectively set out to destroy there own non-existent god.
We all agree that this type of mental delusions and self destructive behaviours are perfectly acceptable only in a Mental Asylum.
akintom: CHRISTIANS VS ATHEISTS: WHICH GROUP IS MORE MORAL?
Results of several studies on the above topic, agreed that there's no significant difference in the moral behavior, between the Christian group and atheist group.
Christians are taught and encouraged to be moral (to bear fruit of the spirit, and not that of the flesh).
For by this fruit of the spirit bearing, atheists shall know that they are the children of their "good" God.
Using nairaland Christians as a case study:
*How real is the fruit of the spirit?
*can the spirit really make the Christian moral?
*despite the spirit, don't Christians still behave immoral?
*is the spirit really the source of moral behavior?
*if the Adamic nature (the immoral nature) is dead in Christian, why do Christians still commit immoral acts? .................................................................................................................. Since i came on Nairaland forum, i have engaged Christians, amongst whom are pastors, priests, Rev..... Etc.
I have deliberately tested various fruit of the spirit in them, and i observed that, in more than 98% of the Christians that I have engaged so far, there's nothing close to the fruit of the spirit, in these Christians.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Rather they are full of the fruit of immorality:
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Galatians 5:21 Contentions, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ................................................................................................................
Conclusion: Generally speaking, and as far as moral standard is concerned, the Christian and the atheists have no significant difference in rating over each other.
This therefore shows that, the natural origin and evolution of morality, as propounded by behavioral neuroscientists, are true in human experience. As against the erroneous and unrealistic claims of Christians. .................................................................................................................
My study is concluded. Henceforth, i shall engage in rational and intellectual debate and discuss, with anyone willing to engage me.
I may use the phrase:
"idiotic idea" "such thinking is puerile" "reasons like these are stupid and nonsensical" etc
NB - these should not be taken as personal insults, but as descriptive words for impersonal text.
I shall choose to discontinue any debate that, descend into derogatory use of words, directed at my "person" and not my "text".
Lol, Now you are sitting in a corner lamenting. The very foundations of Atheism has collapsed after BUTTERFLYLEO revealed the Mental insanity of atheists belief. He revealed a hidden secret that shocked the world and left many atheists exposed.
The secret is that Atheists have agreed to violently attack and curse a God they claim can never exist.They have made a pact to beat up this non-existent God and his Son JESUS CHRIST.
It is well known that inmates in a Mental Asylum exhibit such behavior constantly. I am aware that Sonofthunder finds this hilarious. Atheist behaviour is like a script out of a horror movie.
Be careful, this is not a genuine Religious forum, Christians get banned for countering the insults and mockery of resident atheists.
The foundations of Atheism has collapsed like the Berlin wall.
pressplay411: Jesus kept preaching to the Pharisees and Saducees too even though he knew they would be the ones to crucify Him. So please no discrimination in sharing the Word. Thanks.
Thanks. I wish you all the best picking unripe fruit.
budaatum: "Begging Christians to turn the other cheek"!
Those bloody atheist teaching their satanic doctrine of love your enemy and turn the other cheek! Let's go burn them and their book, sc, for thou art Christian indeed.
pressplay411: Please this is not proper. Don't forget you were once unsaved. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Love of God and the Fellowship of the Holyspirit be with us now and forever. Amen.
My humble apologies. The OP is about oneness with God. It is not proper to welcome a strident Anti-Christ in the house of God.
I am certain that Jesus would call this type, "snakes and Vipers."
May the Holy Spirit continue to protect your spirit while you are moving through this "Valley of the shadow of death."
