I told you earlier that atheism (for the lack of better word) is not a philosophical, ideological or conceptual position, it's simply a "response position".

Since atheism according to you lacks philosophical, ideological and conceptual standing, then what exactly makes atheism a rational or intelligent position? In other word, how is this "response position" intelligent or rational?

For all we know, this so-called "response position" could be someone's dumb, irrational, and ignorance riddled conclusion, since it lacks known principles (at least you've not stated any).

Agnostic-atheism is simply a descriptive response to claims of god existence.

Agnostic-atheism is utter nonsense and a complete usurper of the English language. Like Sapiosexuality said, whoever coined this term is worthy of serious flogging. WTF! It is akin to saying "I am illiterate-literate". What sort of buffoonery is that?

akintom:
If you can't challenge my "response position", on factual grounds, pls hold your definitions to yourself

How can one challenge a position that is baseless and devoid of any known principle, on factual grounds? What is factual about your "response position"?

It's now established that you're not only hastily foolish, but you're now chronically cognitively lowered.

Since your incapacity still subsist, i will do this.

I said, after the mother has ascertain that there's no other person within the flat and the compound (as indicated with the asterisked points in the story), the mother can now RATIONALLY SUSPECT that the boy is experiencing illusionary episode.

Oh really... you mean the mother was so sure that there's no other person within the flat, just like I'm sure right now that you've gone insane huh

You may have to read my story again.

You're the one saying the mother is under "suspicion", not me.

Hastiness is the mother of foolishness.

Oga, stop fooling yourself. You said the mother "rationally suspected" the boy of hallucinating, based on ABSENCE of EVIDENCE.

Suspicion, however rational it may be, still doesn't change the fact that it is still SUSPICION!

akintom:
This rational suspicion, is based on the ABSENCE of EVIDENCE of any friend in the flat.

Therefore, absence of evidence, is the evidence of absence.

Are you then using mere SUSPICION from the mother of the boy to conclude that the ABSENCE of EVIDENCE of other people in the flat is indeed EVIDENCE of ABSENCE?

Have you also consider the possibility of:

*Other people scaling the fence into the compound unknown to the mother except the boy?

*These intruders hiding somewhere in the flat unknown to the mother?

Remember, the mother is merely suspecting, not that it is an established FACT!

So then, ABSENCE of EVIDENCE in this case doesn't necessarily translate to EVIDENCE of ABSENCE because further investigations could prove that indeed, people did scaled the fence and entered the flat unknown to the mother.

...Splinz, remember we have been warned in scriptures not to give heed to every wind of doctrine.
My dears, you have the truth, dont give thoughts to false preachers!
The Bible commands that we confront and shut them up!
If any man or an angel from heaven teaches any other gospel other than these you have both posted, let him be accursed! Amen!!

Thanks bro. Yes, it is indeed true that a curse is placed on those who pervert the gospel of Christ (Galatians 1:8 ). But saddening enough, people wouldn't stop peddling every wind of inconsistent doctrines.

The Bible is our ultimate authority (though to some, it isn't), and in it, we've seen that salvation is not automatic, that one can lost it!

Christianity Etc › Re: Does The New Covenant Abolish The Ten Commandments? by Splinz(m): 3:34pm On Mar 13, 2017*

alchemist13:
According to Mark and Matthew, Jesus did not come to abrogate the Law, but to obey perfectly and teach others to do likewise. Which brings us to the interpretation of Matt. 5:17-18

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Bro, it is so unfortunate that some people don't understand the import of Matthew 5:17-18. For goodness sake, it is not rocket science to understand! It says “...until heaven and earth disappear [i.e, forever, since the earth is established forever (Ecclesiastes 1:4, Psalm 104:5, 119:90]” that absolutely, nothing will be done away from the Law until all of them are kept. In other word, the Law must be kept forever. Plain! Christ kept all the Law perfectly, and left us an example to follow His steps (1 Peter 2:21).

Psalm 119:151 states “Yet you are near, LORD, and all your commands are true.” And, “All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal” (Psalm 119:160). Paul wrote “So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good” (Romans 7:12). As Christians, are we not to pursue holiness, righteousness and goodness, which is exactly what the Law stands for?

From the get go, Jesus clearly says he did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. That pretty much answers our question. But looking further, did Jesus establish another covenant in this passage? No. Did Jesus directly establish another covenant in any other passage? No.
Did Jesus promise another covenant will come that will do away with the Law, perhaps after he has been crucified? I do not know of any such passage.

You're right, there's no such passage—a passage stating that the Law has been abolished. Obviously, what is forever can't be done away.

The commandment haters (Romans 8:7) normally quote Hebrews 8, especially verses 7 & 13 to show that the covenant abolished there is the Ten commandment. Is this so? Of course no, it is simply a case of quoting Scriptures out of context, as we will see. But before then, the reader should notice verse 10 of this same chapter: “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.” So the question is: What “laws” will God put into our minds and write in our hearts? And yes, before someone ridiculously claim that it is the “law of liberty” [I wonder which law is the one of bondage, since it is written that “...His commandments are not burdensome” 1 John 5:3] or it is the “law of love”, a new commandment (John 13:34), let such a person first of all tell us which law is that of bondage and what is love according to God.

Now to Hebrews 8. To understand what is being related in this passage, particularly verses 6, 7, & 13, one simply have to read from verse 1! From verse 1 down, it is crystal clear that the covenant found “faulty, decayed, waxeth old and vanished away” is none other than the covenant or law establishing the Old Covenant Priesthood. Yes, the priesthood was an institution on its own. This covenant was certainly faulty because it was administered by sinful men and also laborious. The priest has to offer burnt sacrifices first for his sins before that of the people, so the process was certainly burdensome! But with Christ as our Eternal High Priest, “A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man”... “...after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:12). In fact, Hebrews 9 & 10 consolidates Hebrews 8, even 7. They all speaks of the Old covenant priesthood and that of the New, showing that the latter is better.

In all of these chapters, no passage is even remotely suggesting that the Ten Commandments called “holy, righteous and good” has been abolished!

So what then is the cause of all this confusion? The answer is due to the influence of Paul the Apostle, and Luke his protege and many others. It is this people that directed the course of Christianity, which was just a sect in Judaism at that time, into what we have today. I will get back to this latter.

Apostle Peter said it all. He said this of Paul, that “He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction” (2 Peter 3:16). Bro, this is the truth, and not that there's any confusion. The ignorant and unstable people distort/twist what Paul wrote, to their own destruction!

Please lets hear more of your contributions to this topic.

Christianity Etc › Re: Can A Christian Lose His Salvation? by Splinz(m): 6:08pm On Mar 12, 2017

akin33:
I was under a particular bible study when a pastor asked a question " can a Christian lose his salvation?" I said yes. But pastors said NO. In Psalm 51;1-19, Especially;

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. This verses and many in the Bible made it clear that man can actually lose his salvation.

My fellow Christians, kindly throw more light to this

Your pastor is wrong. Psalm 51 does not even remotely suggest that one can't lost his/her salvation, rather, it upholds that salvation can actually be lost.

It is so sad that people have converted the grace of God into a “license” to break the Law (Jude 1:4). This is because, merely thinking that salvation can't be lost is tantamount to living whatever life one desires, whether of righteousness or not, and still retain salvation. In other word, a sinner who continues in sin is saved. Paul asked a question: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound”? He answered: “By no means!” (Romans 6:1-2).

Now looking at Psalm 51, verse 11 shows that a Christian can be cast away and the Holy Spirit taken from such a person too, while the word “Restore” in verse 12 shows that David actually lost his salvation through sin, hence, the need of praying for its restoration. Yes, David prayed Psalm 51 to God after he went in to Bathsheba and also killed her husband (2 Samuel 11).

And lastly, listen: “It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away (backslide), to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace” (Hebrews 6:4-6).

Don't let anyone deceive you bro, salvation is not automatic. Little wonder then that Paul said “...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12).
