Well done oh Jesusjnr, nairaland resident miracle worker.

Abeg no limit your miracle to nairaland o, real "mad"people Boku for our many neuropsychiatric hospitals for naija wey need healing.

Religious people will employ all manner of gimmicks including their half baked knowledge of science and medicine to further the cause of their favorite god.

LoL. Pigs don suffer in the hands of Muslims in particular. Pigs are dirty. Pigs carry diseases causing organisms aplenty. Pigs do this, pigs do that! Shut the f up! There are animals that carry worse disease causing organisms than pigs and humans have been eating them for centuries. There are fish tapeworms, dog tapeworms etc etc, why is your God fixated on pig tapeworms? Read una no go read. Pigs are dirtiest animal! What load of bollocks! Pigs are matter of factly, one of the cleanest animals around. Just read a book other than your favorite religious books and cure your ignorance.

How people still rely solely on men from thousands or hundreds of years in the past who thought the earth was the centre of the universe or that the sun sets in a pool of mud for scientific or medical information in these modern times is mind boggling. And you see their gullible faithfuls come to pontificate to us about their pedestal reasoning obviously rooted in stone age ignorance.

If you are talking religion, talk religion and don't try to draw parallel between religion and medicine or science. Just say your God or prophet says so and so and move on. The minute you try to justify your archaic believes with science or medicine or both, we are gonna have no choice than cut to pieces the teachings of your ignorant prophets.

The Yorubas, in time past, used to think there is a god responsible for measles and chickenpox because they often occur in epidemic proportions. They usually appease the gods by offering sacrifices, some of which young virgin girls would be slaughtered to atone for sins which provoked the gods to strike the people with the disease.

Now we know better. Thanks to science and medicine, we have not only developed treatments for many of the diseases the gods used to take credit for, but we have also found a way to train our bodies to not fall sick even if we contract those diseases.

Yet in this age and time, some elements still think or believe that natural disasters and consequences of global warming, most of which we have scientific explanations for, are signs that a certain god uses to communicate its anger towards the people it created. It's a pity!

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid you are mistaken. I don't underestimate the ingenuity of man at all.
Simply trying to be a little on the realistic side here is all. That which you speak of is likely not going to happen in our lifetime -we will both be long gone /no more- so it is equally meaningless to wonder about such things that will likely never happen in yours and my lifetime - rapture too.

What!!! It's meaningless to wonder about the lofty heights science could and would attain in the future, simple because it's likely not to happen in our lifetime? If this is the way scientists think, we would still be stuck in stone age where donkeys and snakes talked, where men go to heaven in chariots of fire, where the wisest man said to ever lived had nothing to bequeath the world except plenty of wives and concubines and settling of local disputes between two women's claim to being the biological mother of a baby, etc etc.

PS. "Being realistic" and " rapture" should never appear in the same sentence. If there is something that is the most unrealistic in the world, it would be rapture.

Kobojunkie:
By the time all of that becomes possible, wouldn't the world population have ballooned to about 50 billion or more?

Junkie, you underestimate the ingenuity of men! Remember how your god tweaked the language of men so they would not build a sky scrapper in your holy book? See how far we've come since then: we've learned to speak and write multiple languages. We've built tens of thousands if not millions of sky scrappers since then. We can fly people into the heaven and back; heck, we got human footprints and flags on the moon. We managed to achieve all these in few hundred years.

Your god has been coming now for what? 2000 plus years; you really think it would take that long to figure out a way to move humanity to another planet if it becomes a necessity?

Kobojunkie:
All 8 billion people migrated by bus or rail?

I think we could make the trip in chariots of fire or winged horses, or any one of the other highly sophisticated and technologically advanced means of space travel used in your favorite holy book.

We could even go up the way Jesus did once we got the science figured out. What ya say

This joke never gets old.

I hope humanity wouldn't have all relocated to Mars by the time Jesus eventually shows up.

Just follow the money.

LoL

LordReed:


LMAO! No long story, here is the video:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE8bFsx6Yc0

If I am not an atheist, what am I? LMFAO!

had to watch it all over again. My favorite part of the encounter was when Lordreed said, " are you done?" Cracks me up all day long.

One thing is clear, the guy obviously serves a different God from that of Elijah or Moses or even Mohammed, considering their miraculous exploits and show of power in the Bible and Quran respectively. Ogun or sango, my ancestral Gods, would have put up a better showing than the obviously phoney and powerless god being called upon in that video.

I hope for the sake of the soul of Lordreed that Elated1 God would live up to expectations and take Lordreed to the cleaners.

Once again, Elated1, the ball is in your court.

Same bible. Same holy spirit.Different interpretations. One side always accuse the others of lack of understanding and vice versa.

In Islam, same Quran. Some read and become terrorists. Others read and oppose terrorism, claiming the other side do not understand the book.

Only one conclusion is possible...

jesusjnr2020:
It's via a seed that someone can hand down such. So since man is the seed producer of the two, its only via him that the nature and condemnation of sin can be inherited.

That's why God was very particular about Adam's fall into sin in the beginning,. It was because he was the seed producer of the two.

However God knew that was a possible outcome from the beginning hence He provided a means of escape for man just in case. That's one of the major reasons He made the woman, so that even man fall into sin, the woman could serve as a means via which man could be redeemed from his sins and restored.

So sin cannot be inherited via the womb of a woman even if she be a sinner since she didn't produce the seed, moreover remember, that the woman (Mary) who bear the seed (Jesus) was necessarily and intentionally a virgin, so even her vessel had not be defiled by the seed of a man which inherited the nature and condemnation of Adam's sins.

God bless.

What is seed producer?

When is this going down? Please, make it happen, Elated, I really want god existence proved to lordreed.

Reminds me, not long ago, lordreed had similar encounter with a christian who promised to miraculously alter the world view of lordreed concerning god and his might.

In the video, the christian guy prayed and bound and cast for what seemed like forever. All that time, lordreed was casually seated in his car, without a care in the world and carried on as if he was the devil himself.

I remembered laughing so hard when at the end of the deliverance or prayer session, lordreed simple asked, " are you finished?"
I bet lordreed had expected the kinda fantastic outpouring of otherworldly powers to overpower him, like it did Paul in the bible, altering his life forever.

It was such an embarrassment for the christian guy. I think he later confirmed lordreed to be untainted spiritually, whatever that means. Lordreed being a humble sportsman's that he is took the victory in his stride and simply moved on.

I don't know if the christian guy is still on nairaland, his moniker seems to have disappeared since then. I hope he's not mad with his god for throwing him under the bus in that encounter.

Anyways, I hope Elated comes through with this fresh challenge so lordreed could eat the humble pie and be put in his place once and for all.

Elated, ball is in your court!

Everyone ends up in hell one way or another.

Same old same old. 2000 plus years later and counting...

Variety, they say, is the spice of life.

With all their so called spiritual minds and powers which they claim gives them ability to see things beyond the natural and conjure things out of thin air, they still can't create a media space of their own where they can make their own rules and do as they please.

They cry tyranny and persecution and wail when people they claim are worldly and carnal minded and of the devil, ban or sanction them for flouting rules guiding the platform created with carnal minds. SMH!

He's both.

I have seen many.

Againstlies:


the child giving to him from God is a big gift than anything.

you that have legs and can walk are you sure if you will have a child.

appreciate anything good God have done for someone, stop talking out of sense to get likes on nairaland.

when you will start perishing all this people that liked your comment will not help you.

You should have said God does whatever he wants regardless of human expectations, and you would have made a little sense than you did with comment above.

You come across as trying desperately to defend God.A God shouldn't have to be defended. And threatening the guy with '"perishing" is taking it too far. A God who is able to make people perish or have children should be able to heal a cripple.

Who told you having a child is big gift than anything? Spoiler alerts! Having a child is one of the easiest thing in the world: ask the indians and chinese; heck people have so much kid in some parts of this country they send them away as almajirais. I'm sure you know lots of people with children, now how many cripple, like that man, do you know who have been healed?

Isn't the bible supposed to be a corrupt book according to Islam. How come you found so many verses to support Islam in a corrupt book?

petra1:
The saying that " IF JESUS IS HERE HE WOULD HABE TAKEN THE VACCINE" Is an insult to Christ and a blasphemy

No insult or blasphemy here.

Allahu Akbar!

MaxInDHouse:
The word BORN AGAIN has been erroneously misinterpreted to mean virtuous attributes, hence the confusion!

A born again Christian is saved already so he needs no deliverance, they don't see the world as anything therefore they're ever focused on accomplishing their ministry so that they can go to their homes prepared for them in heaven.

Nothing shakes their faith not even threats of death because they're already prepared to go home (Heaven) but most so called born again are scared to die therefore ordinary dying even seem like evil to such ones whereas the real born again see death as a home call!

Max do you still do door to door evangelism?

Nigerians and perverse sense of justice. They get incensed and agitated when so called repented boko haram members are pardoned and rehabilitated by government but they praise their God when thieves, kidnappers, armed robbers and the likes testify in their places of worship of finding god after years of inflicting pain and hardship on their fellow citizens.

Eriokanmi:
someone says the dehydration in that region which dates back to thousands of years ago is responsible for their amazing performance in global marathon. Anyone who had been to Kenya before would bear me witness. You drink water like anything yet you're not satisfied

ThAt someone must be drunk.

God gave up his begotten son to die for man's sin, but God didn't want his son to stay dead, so he resurrected his son only three days later, and at this moment God's son his seated right beside God in heaven alive and well.

If someone approached you in the street claiming to have not just taken a bullet in the head for you but that he also died for you three days ago, and that he only just resurrected today, what would be your reaction?

Maximus85:
The cross has nothing to do with Christianity.

Na picture of Jim Caviezel I dey see for hia o
