Biology teacher

O tell me about the pisces , the plantae , animals
How the ferns mutated to the present day maize or how the fishes evolve to the present day man with no one to regulate the process
Abi dem no day regulate temperature of experiment

But it’s funny how you question this but can’t question Noah’s flood nonsense, how the sun was create after plants and a virgin giving birth to a baby

Religious people are clowns, you choose when to question and when not to use your Brain

I’m not gonna tell you.

If you didn’t get it way back in school, you can’t get it now.

I don’t have such time to waste. Just continue with your gospel of Jesus Christ

Kobojunkie:
You should look them up

Everyone know they are atheist, only paranoid believers don’t.

ume1000:
so how come humans suddenly appeared on earth

Humans did not suddenly appear on earth.

You skipped Biology classes for fellowship isn’t anyone’s problem.

ume1000:
that's the mystery a being without a beginning but with a beginning
Have thought about it and it just like a circle that brings you back to the same question
My dear to know the origin of the origin of God means you did have to become God himself

There’s no single evidence for all these nonsense. People just believe them because that’s what they were told, not as if they can proof shit or have seen any of the shit.

Kobojunkie:
I am sorry but there is no such thing as a skeptical atheist.
You either are or you are not. If you are skeptical, then you are an agnostic.
If you had even bothered looking up the history of the church, you would have known that they do believe in powers and in divine beings from which they draw these powers Hence, they are not atheists.

lol ok

Kobojunkie:
They are not atheists. They are occultists.

They are skeptical atheists bro. They are expert religious trolls.

Everyone except deluded Christians know this.

Christians never disappoint with their shallow way of reasoning
Church of Satan is an atheistic organization and doesn’t believe imaginary entities like God or Satan exist.

I really think Christians should learn how to read wide, that bible is making lot of you dull and duller.

I really want to hear from openyoureyes1

Kobojunkie:
Yeah, na wa for religion, but there are those who believe in God and know to verify everything. We do verify everything, but not in the way that you EXPECT it be done so you can see it done.

Ok, nice to know.

LordReed:
What is even more fascinating is not once is Jesus called Immanuel in the new testament, a prophesy that was supposed to come to pass, yet nobody calls Jesus that even once.

Nawa for religion o

They never verify anything. I just tire

LordReed:
The one you can't show anyone right? LoL

Nothing I guess since it makes no sense to me either way but you always say 'its just men' which makes me curious.

He doesn’t even know what the name of his god means.

It’s just a pity

Mrshape:
The name and title of the Son of God from the time of his anointing while on earth.

The name Jesus (Gr., I·e·sousʹ) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” The name itself was not unusual, many men being so named in that period. For this reason persons often added further identification, saying, “Jesus the Nazarene.” (Mr 10:47; Ac 2:22) Christ is from the Greek Khri·stosʹ, the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shiʹach (Messiah), and means “Anointed One.” Whereas the expression “anointed one” was properly applied to others before Jesus, such as Moses, Aaron, and David (Heb 11:24-26; Le 4:3; 8:12; 2Sa 22:51), the position, office, or service to which these were anointed only prefigured the superior position, office, and service of Jesus Christ. Jesus is therefore preeminently and uniquely “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”​—Mt 16:16;

Jehovah is the Latin pronounciation of Yehoshua. Yehoshua is that it comes from the root ישע yod-shin-'ayin, meaning "to deliver, save, or rescue".

So how did Jesus come or lesous come into the mix because in Latin, Jehovah the salvation is suppose to mean “Jehovah salvator”.

How did Jesus come into the mix? Don’t just assume, find out. calm down and do that.

It will do you a lot of good to ask questions about it.

Kobojunkie:
What? I responded to your question, didn't I?

Ok, your response is well acknowledged.

Kobojunkie:
Have I ever said anything otherwise?

Can you let me be then. Go, Your sins have made you whole.
Lol

Kobojunkie:
What does any English name really mean though?
My English name means nothing to me either. But I use it without so much as a thought about it.

Just agree that the Bible was doctored badly. No shame in that bro

Kobojunkie:
Why would I want to use Jesus in any Hebrew, Greek or Latin sentence though?
I wouldn't use the English transliteration of my Nigerian name either in that way.

What does JESUS mean then and in what language?

I doesn’t mean anything in either Greek, Latin or English. Except the fact that it’s a name for a Christian god which we don’t really know how it was coined.

LordReed:
To be honest I never really looked into it even when I was a believer.

I have always looked into it.

That name doesn’t mean anything in any language that I know.

If you think I’m lying, contact anyone in Italy and Greece for the literal meaning of Jesus in their language. They will only tell you it’s a name for a Christian god. It doesn’t mean anything in their languages.

BackllGodNaija:
Not surprised at all...never expected the foolish to be able to comprehend those words of wisdom

laugh no go kill me for here

Kobojunkie:
Does it need to have a meaning in English?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_and_titles_of_Jesus_in_the_New_Testament

Try using Jesus in any Hebrew, Latin or Greek sentence.

Doesn’t mean anything

Kobojunkie:
Was it not Rome that commissioned the work to translate the greek scripture to Latin?
So you should probably start with Catholic sources if you are serious about learning about how we arrived at the English name

What does JESUS mean? It doesn mean anything in Greek and Latin.

MikeBetty:
Yeshua Ha mesha

I guess you mean Yeshua Hamashiach, which means Savior the Messiah in English, pronounced as “sotiras o messias” in Greek and “Christum salvatorem” in Latin.

What does JESUS mean?

Seems we got people avoiding this thread.

Lordreed, I need you to come explain what Jesus means.

We have heard a lot of theories as to how the name “Jesus” was coined from Yeshua into Lesous in Latin to give JESUS in English.

But if we are going by literal translations of this name from Hebrew to Greek to Latin and Then English, you will discover than Jesus really doesn’t mean anything in any language. Christians don’t know this.


Yeshua will be translated to “Savior” in English, “Soter” in Greek and “savator” in Latin.
You cannot really use the pronunciation “Jesus” to replace any word in Hebrew, Latin or Greek sentence.

So what does Jesus really mean? How was it transliterated into “lesous” in Greek?

BackllGodNaija:
Common sense would tell you it's senseless to think while one can't see the true picture of cases in Africa, it's possible to cover up the amount of deaths as observed in the most scientific advanced nations. Show me the mass graves being dug for instance in densely populated Lagos as in New York or Madrid to accommodate the "uncountable" dead bodies? Covid-19 has surely exposed the limitations of science that even world renowned scientists and medics as those in the OP have no choice but to humbly admit that fact. But of course, your overblown egos exceed your capacity to do same.

The bitter truth is that science is just a student in God's school and it still has a lot to learn which is what the tiny microbe Covid-19 has clearly proven.

Kai, who do this thing to brain of religious people?

Maximus69:
Good!
And i'll stick to the definition found in God's word!

No evidence god exist, there’s evidence oxford dictionary exist.

Kobojunkie:
Yep! He is an entity that exists beyond the confines of our concepts of time and space. So it is an error to suggest that because all we know has a beginning and an end, He too must have a beginning and an end.

Evidence? And how you come to this conclusion?

Maximus69:
Don't be surprised that your definition of FAITH differ from mine.

But instead of blindly arguing on a definition that's not working, try to calm down in order to see what is wrong.

I said from the beginning that false religion is what you guys are considering so you can't see beyond your nose.

Let me tell you what real faith is doing today.
There is a God who is the one and only TRUE God, he is the one teaching us how get the benefits of true FAITH.
It's not about deceiving people with miracles and things God never promised. What God promised us in this time of the end is peace and unity amongst his true worshipers, they will first of all eradicate hatred amongst themselves and form a global family of peace loving worshipers.
LOVE, JOY and PEACE will reign in their midst and throughout the world everyone will testify to it that there is true love and peace permeating their gathering.
All the religions making noise hear and there telling people they want to perform miracles are deceivers, the events we are experiencing on the planet today is what God said will mark the end of this system.
Soon he will come and exterminate all those who aren't part of his Organization, but before then they must see the works of FAITH.
They will all see that despite the discrimination throughout the earth, despite the desperation, despite the racism and political unrest throughout the globe.
There is a group that does not partake in all the troubles, they're united as a family and nothing can separate them from the love they have for their fellow believers, they don't participate in military activities neither in politics.
Go to anywhere on this planet, not even science can achieve such unity and peace Sir, they said "We are Jehovah's Witnesses and our God Jehovah who is in our midst is our salvation"

That is the work FAITH is presently doing and there is no technological advancement that can produce such PEACE amongst people from different races under this planet! Micah 4:1-3

I rather stick to oxford dictionary definition of faith.

That settles it

DO that after proper investigations. Don’t castrate innocent people.
Fake rape allegation is real as well.

Maximus69:
Well that's not true FAITH Sir!

True faith is what will benefit everyone around you, only the few can see it, even when others refused to agree with you you'll continue working on it because it's inevitably going to be a reality!

So faith is not just what we dream about our own child who may even die before our own eyes, rather it's something that binds people from all works of life together as one family. And as they continue working towards it, observant persons will notice the result and join them while faithless people will continue to mock, jeopardize or even outrightly attack them for doing something they don't believe in.
But at last it will eventually become a reality.

Take for instance the aeroplane, those who had the dream never witnessed the time the first aeroplane carried people through the air, but one generation after another they kept working towards it, critics came up to kick against it, but in the end people now travel through the air!

That's what true FAITH means Sir! Hebrew 11:1

Bro, I don’t like back and forth arguments over what is glaring. E be like say una like plenty arguments for this nairaland
Anybody can have faith. Religion is “faith” in a god.

ACCORDING TO OXFORD faith is:
ability or knowledge; trust that somebody/something will do what has been promised
If the company can retain its customers' faith, it could become the market leader.
faith in somebody/something I have faith in you—I know you'll do well.
We've lost faith in the government's promises.
Her friend's kindness has restored her faith in human nature.
I wouldn't put too much faith in what she says.
He has blind faith (= unreasonable trust) in doctors' ability to find a cure.
