MizMyColi:As above so below |
Maximus69:You are just a moroon.. What an excuse for a human being.. Tufia |
FOLYKAZE:I love you. |
gtbng:You got the message.. Religion is just a way to keep us going till the end.. The truth is that there is really nothing meaningful behind religious veils.. |
Heartlessbanker:OK... |
"I am the lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GOD BEFORE ME" Is it same God or another? |
A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, “My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?” The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks reply, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man says, “All right, all right. I’m *dying* to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?” The monks reply, “You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.” The man sets about his task. Forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, “I have traveled the earth and have found what you have asked for. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.” The monks reply, “Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound.” The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, “The sound is right behind that door.” The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, “Real funny. May I have the key?” The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst. Finally, the monks say, “This is the last key to the last door.” The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound. ......but I can’t tell you what it is because you’re not a monk. |
I don't worship idols... The Almighty God I reverence is the creator of heaven and earth and everything in it.. I am 100% sure he is not a Jewish man.. So keep your Jesus.. I will pass |
chijokz:Don't you have the name for God in your language?.. Yoruba calls him Eledumare, igbos calls him chukwu..why should I call God in another man language? |
chijokz:Are you a Babylonian? |
BOOKWORMLUX:" I did not come to bring peace, but the sword"... Said a famous cartoon character.... |
Brachaa:I concur.. Just the name that is different due to the different languages that exist among human beings.. And the stories created by man to reach about it.. |
FrLukas:There is only one God.. It is the nomenclature and the stories man has developed to teach about God that is different.. The messages in the stories are the same.. Whether it is Thor throwing his hammer or David using his catapult.. The message is that the God inside of you is greater than the obstacle in front of you.. |
God is consciousness...... Personified. |
chukemmang:. You are still making the same mistake Billynaire was making.. They are not extra terrestrial, they are all native of earth.. They are spiritual beings personified.. They are inter dimensional beings... |
AntiChristian:Nah.. It is just a story.. The Roman's did a good PR job.. Just like saying superman did not kill anybody in superman 1 but killed people in superman 2..it is just the writer imaginations.. These things never happened.. In real life. |
Has her liscence been withdrawn?.. If not, then she is right.. |
Image123:All I see here are just your opinion.. No biblical backing... So I can ignore them.. |
chukemmang:I concur... Most of the stories in the Bible where adapted from the Sumerian tales... The God of the old testament is /was Marduk..He was the son of Father Enki.. He won his place on the pantheon by defeating Tiamat.. The gospel stories comes from ancient tales about Marduk.. But at the council of Nicea, Athanasius said he was both God and man, and a human history was forged for him.. |
Heartlessbanker:Check the back, it is written there.. Or the preface.. |
chukemmang:Not by him... He missed quite a few.. Ninghizsida is Ninazu's child, not Enki... Like he claimed. |
I have wrestled with the concepts of Heaven and Hell but I have never found a clear explanation for the questions I have in my mind so I’ll ask the following questions and hope I get serious answers by a religious expert in this group, for each question. I’ll ignore smart remarks or any attempt at humour. First of all, for the concepts of Hell and Heaven to exist, one has to accept mind-body dualism, a view in the philosophy of mind that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical, or that the mind and body are distinct and separable. In many religions, the dualist concept has been regarded as true, and that part of the mind, the soul, survives death and will eternally exist in Heaven or Hell depending how you lived your life. Here are the questions that I would like to see answered with biblical scripture to back up your assertions: 1-Where are the locations of Heaven and Hell in the universe? Can they be found beyond our local solar system? Between Jupiter and Mars? 2-When babies die young and go to Heaven, do they grow up in Heaven or remain in Heaven as babies for eternity 3-When people are born with a mental disability, does their intelligence and cognitive functioning improve when they reach Heaven? Is there a change to the cognitive functioning of those without mental disabilities during their time alive on earth? 4-Do the minds of Alzheimer’s victims continue to exhibit cognitive deterioration throughout eternity or do Alzheimer’s victims regain their cognitive faculties as they were prior to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease? 5-Will people, who because of some accident or disease, suffer from complete amnesia in either Heaven or Hell and, thus start a second life, lose the first part of their lives or do they have two souls? 6-Which marriage will be restored in Heaven for divorced people? How are marriage arrangements managed in Heaven? 7-Will people who die at an advanced age, in their 90s or more, stay old for eternity? 8-Will people in Heaven, knowing that some of their family or friends are in Hell still be at peace with that knowledge? 9-Will some people be elated in Heaven when they know that their enemies are in Hell? 10-Would all knowledge be revealed to everybody? Does everyone have the same level of knowledge in Hell and Heaven? |
Dtruthspeaker:Run along now... When the time come for you to wake up.. You will.. Till then you can wallow in your ignorance.. |
anuofGod:Exactely the same as before life.... Sorry was just kidding.. There is no such thing as before or afterlife... Life is all there is.. We are spiritual being dwelling within a physical body made from dust.. |
anuofGod:What you experience when you sleep, is what you will experience but for long when you die... Death is a permanent sleep, and sleep is a temporal death.. |
I believe the op 100%..my daughter will not give me time to concentrate.. I really want to have a warmth relationship with my angel.. We igbos calls it "chi".. Chinedu means your guidanian angels leads you. |

Dtruthspeaker:LOL.. You did not disprove any of my point oh.. Open your heart and let the spirit guide you.. The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life...
|
anuofGod:That is what will be happening permanently when you eventually die.. Get use to it.. Death is a permanent sleep and sleep is a temporal death.. Get the gist? |
God is the personification of the divine consciousness of the universe fully embodied.. |
chukemmang:Hope you have not read any of sitchens book... Because they are fictions.. May God bless his soul.. |
