If you ever get as "foolish" as I am, you'll feel supremely blessed, and be forever grateful. But I won't be giving you that grace. I'd be as well sitting with a lump of rock for all the stimulation I'd get from a dumb, pointless mutt like you. cry
Oh my gawd! I feel like crying... LMAO, mumu claiming jack.

Pretending like you didn't see my response right?

I ask again, which one is the true church then?
Oh, I didn't see your mentioned.

Yes, the true Church. So were you able to learn anything from the Church eras I introduced to you? Do you understand what Christ was revealing to John about His seven Church eras?

Anyone can claim to be a Christian, whether they have any connection with historical Christianity is another matter entirely. If you don't believe in hell, you must be a very sad moro'n NOT to prefer eternal annihilation/oblivion, to the hellish boredom awaiting you in heaven.
You see! You be confirmed imbec... Lol.

Phaeze:
lol..... What a dunce, really. You've "ended" NOTHING - except maybe your own intelligence, of course, 'cause it seems as though your brain has been replaced with a pea.

And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: "If you give the Ammonites into my hands, [color=maroon]whatever[/color] comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD's, and I will sacrifice [color=darkgreen]it[/color] as a burnt offering." - Judges 11: 30-31, Holy Bible, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION

So, in this translation of the Bible, Jephtha said "whatever" and used "it". This clearly shows that he WASN'T particular about what he was expecting i.e not necessarily a human. He was expecting ANYTHING.

I don't think you'll want to tell me that if it had been a goat that came out of the door of Jephthah's house to meet him after his victory against the Ammonites, Jephthah would have taken it [color=indigo]to serve God all its life in the temple as a virgin[/color] (regardless of the fact that it might have been fvcked countless times by numerous goats). What the f.....? Everybody would think you're MAD, and I won't contradict them. grin
Kikiki... Here's even a bigger fool. Oya, bring out more of that foolishness... Mad people everywhere.

So the women of Israelites mourned Jeph's daughter because she didn't receive the di-ck before she died? Like "aiii, oh, she didn't get laid, oh, she never knew how a dick felt, oh".. You Christians are insane, simple!

It's obvious he knows he is wrong, that's why he opens the thread to talk about burnt offering but is actually mentally deleting the burnt and arguing for only offering.

He is hoping that we might be foolish enough not to notice the burnt and accept this false preaching.

This is what pastors do and deceive people who actually want to be deceived. This guy is a fraud.

Reverend fathers who give themselves as service to their God are actually offering burnt offering to their God... And they sau religion is not all about twisting the fact.

Rubbish
So you're also a Bible believer? Great! Atheists are now believers... cheesy. Study more bro, you'd understand these things.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Sunday Worship Scriptural? by Splinz(m):
Toks2008:

The Sabbath was given to Israel, not the church. The Sabbath is still Saturday, not Sunday, and has never been changed. But the Sabbath is part of the Old Testament Law, and Christians are free from the bondage of the Law (Galatians 4:1-26 ;
Romans 6:14 ). Sabbath keeping is not required of the Christian—be it Saturday or Sunday.
Sorry sir, this comment of yours reeks of ignorance. Please no offense.

However, I don't really know if it is ignorance or sheer mischief. I don't also know where you get the understanding that the Sabbath was given to Israel, when Jesus Himself said the "Sabbath was made for- given to man" (Mark 2:27). He didn't say it was made for a specific people but for MAN!- all inclusive!

Now, one only need look at the origin of the Sabbath to know why it is or was made for man. Genesis 2:2 is the beginning of the Sabbath, right at the very beginning of creation. Note, God didn't just rest on that day and pass it on as an example, He blessed/hallowed/sanctified the Sabbath as a holy time, which means the Sabbath day is not just like any other day but a sanctified—set aside day for holy uses! No other day bears such blessedness and the argument that "we don't stop worshiping God after the Sabbath—we worshiped God everyday" doesn't stand because a command is a command. Keeping the Sabbath is a commandment! So, before there was any Israelite to keep the Sabbath, those before Israel (Enoch, Abraham, etc) have already kept it!

And what is it you mean by the Sabbath not given to the Church? Understand. While it is true that the New Testament Church started in AD 31, the Church had already existed in the wilderness, right in the days of Moses! Listen: "This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness... " (Acts 7:38, KJV). The "assembly in the wilderness" was also the Church! And the New Testament Church as we have it today is built directly "upon the foundation of the apostles (New Testament) and prophets (Old Testament), and Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief cornerstone" (Ephesians 2:20). The Church is built on both the teachings of the apostles and prophets, i.e, there's no Church without the Old Testament! Please grasp this understanding.

Again, what do you mean by Christians are freed from the bondage of the law? Is this law the same Law described as "So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good?" (Romans 7:12). If the Law which is called "righteous" is done away because it is a burden (on the contrary, God said His laws are not burdensome, 1 John 5:3), what are you then to walk on as a Christian—unrighteousness?

Understand. The Ten Commandments were not called the law of Moses, but rather the law of God. The law of Moses consisted of: (1) the civil laws—the statutes and judgments that Moses relayed to the people from God, recorded in Exodus 21-23 and the remaining books of the Law—and (2) the ritualistic laws (Greek: ergon) added later, summarized in Hebrews 9:10. These ordinances regulated the Levitical sacrifices (Lev. 1-7) and related duties. Ergon means “works,” as in the “works of the law” (Gal. 2:16). This referred to the labor involving Levitical rituals abolished by Christ’s sacrifice. These were the set of laws abolished by Christ's sacrifice!

Finally, know that if you say that the Law (10th) has been done away, it therefore means that sin is death too, i.e, there's no more sin, since sin is the breaking of the law (1 John 3:4). And like Paul said, "sin is not imputed when there is no law" (Romans 5:13). So sir, when you say Christians are freed from the law, you're saying in essence that Christians are without sins—commits sins no more—sinless.

Let me leave you with this truth from apostle John: "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:cool.

So the basis of your conclusion is that God has never commanded human killing?? He actually tested Abraham with that exact same thing. If God considered it so terrible, he wouldn't have tested Abraham with it.
The bible clearly says burnt offering, you can't prove that he said otherwise. You just looking for excuses to continue believing in a God that's so ostensibly evil.
BTW, the best books of fiction are a mixture of both facts and fiction. Just read any of Dan Brown's books.
Bro, save yourself the stress. You have your own beliefs (whether non-belief) and I also have mine.

So far, my own beliefs have serves me so perfectly well that I need not learn anything from you (at least as it concerns my faith as a Christian).

These talks of God being evil bla bla bla wouldn't change my own convictions personally learnt and experience. If you're an atheist or whatever, fine! I am a Christian and believed wholeheartedly in God and His righteousness. Deal with it.

PS: I wonder what makes you think I've not read Dan's books.

Actually, it does make sense to wail your virginity. At those times, having children was the point of being a woman, or a human being for that matter.. So if she had a child already, it won't be to tragic. But the tragedy was that she died without an issue....
This is the promise he made:
" 31 I will burn as an offering the first person that comes out of my house to meet me, when I come back from the victory. I will offer that person to you as a sacrifice.”
And the bible records that he fulfilled that promise. So who should I believe, the bible or Splinz
Hmm. I never knew you're now a believer bro, or is it only this story that you believed?... undecided.

Anyways, God has never commanded a human burnt offering. So, what I believed is what I've stated and it is in perfect harmony with other Scriptures. Jephthah never burnt his daughter, and that's it.

Nobody is saying you shouldn't believe your own as an atheist or whatever. Great you guys are now believers of the Bible... cool

either way he should have known the consequences before uttering it,cos the bible says do not be quick to make a vow
I hear you, true. cool. At least he paid dearly for it by forfeiting his only child to chastity, thereby having no one to carry his line after their death. This is enough reason to make anybody sad.

The Bible actually talks about presenting our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable before God which is reasonable service. Now that is clear enough and is the type that Samuel underwent. But there's no other explanation to burnt offering. It was simply burnt to crisp and its smoke went up to heaven where God savoured it.
That's the fate Jephthah's daughter suffered.
It didn't happened.

The vow wasn't consecration, it was burning whatever was the first to come and greet him... He actually burnt his daughter... She bewailed her virginity because she was to die a virgin without any issue
Bro, I have seen both of these arguments, no be today.

It makes no sense at all to wail over your virginity instead of your actual dead.

I've done my own personal studies and reached conclusions. So, thanks for your input.
Christianity EtcRe: How Atheists Feel On Nairaland; Part Two by Splinz(m): 11:30pm On Jan 22, 2017
JackBizzle:
You need to look at the bigger picture

1) From the atheist's point of view, we are angry and tired of being oppressed in the name of God. Saturday and Sunday mornings, some bastard pastor is shouting into your bedroom with massive loudspeakers from his church. Your office/work friends trying to get you to their church. Every meeting or event must start with opening prayers. Churches not paying taxes, thereby increasing the need for govt to tax you more. If you say you're an atheist openly, you will be maltreated severely.


2) The only reprieve is to come and discuss with like minded non-religious people on the internet....but are we free to do that? No. We have christians barging in and calling us all sorts of demonic names.


3) So, on the internet where logic and evidence rules, we give back what is due to our tormentors-in-god.

4) Honestly, most of us just want to live our lives. I doubt anyone likes repeating dead arguments.....it gets tiring
These are no valid arguments. In fact, it reeks of biases. Are churches the only one guilty of these things? You guys really need to stop this "loud speaker" bla bla bla excuses. I also get disturbed by speaker sounds from a nearby restaurant. Do I start attacking restaurants because of this disturbance?

Truth is, there's no perfect world anywhere, with or without churches! Even if churches are wipe off this very minute, you'll still have mountain of problems to deal with! This is because churches can never be your one and only problem in this world. I am what you could called a "Christian" (not of the mainstream brand), and I have no business attacking whether an atheist, Muslim... just whatever it is you're sympathetic to.

I mean, we can't all believe the same things. We can never share the same sentiments. So what do we do- shall we keep on attacking each other that peace may reign? No. You simply keep to your lane and I keep mine... Cool!

So, leave the church alone. You and I will die but religion will remain because it is part and parcel of man!
