LordReed:
So since these things can happen without any religious act, how do we determine god is the cause?

Because He gave conditons under which miracles MUST occur.

...And these signs shall follow them that believe, AMONG OTHER conditions.

LordReed:
So define miracle.

An extraordinary occurrence with with welcome consequences.

Don't start what you can't finish.

LordReed:
You didn't answer the question, why did you define miracle as something brought about by prayer and other religious activity if that is the case?

I modify my definition then to include some other factor.

Just like I know you are not exposed and are closed minded. You probably live in some backwater town where people think toilets with running water is heaven.

As usual.

LordReed:
If miracles can occur without prayer or any religious activity then why did you define miracle as An extraordinary event with welcome consequences triggered by prayer, worship, praises, or some other religious activity?






Because you know me? Stop kidding yourself.

If its not triggered by prayer it does not make it less of a miracle.


I know your kind.

She's a true feminist. I support her.

LordReed:
So if any of these things happen without prayer or any religious activity is it still a miracle?

Yes

Because Nairaland is the only place people discuss topics of interest?

For you, most probably.

LordReed:
Define extraordinary event and give examples.

Something beyond the ordinary. An example will be the changing of SS genotype to AA after a simple prayer.

Another example will be the the instant healing of a paralysed man after the laying on of hands.

Indeed I do. Look up the damage calculation for Atlas Prime's landslide ability. Also look up the Lord of the Rings as metaphor or the philosophy of the Matrix movies.

The number of threads you've created about God and religion compared to the number of threads you've created about those characters tell me otherwise.

LordReed:
What is a miracle, can you give a definition so we can examine your claim?

An extraordinary event with welcome consequences triggered by prayer, worship, praises, or some other religious activity.

I also think a lot about the characters in the videogames I play or the science fiction stories I read, it doesn't signify I think they are real.

Classical atheist response. But patently false.
Are you honestly going to say you expend intellectual power on videogame characters. Haba.

LordReed:
I can and will because the existence of a so called first cause is still entirely speculative and has no practical application.

False. An application can seen in the thousands of miracles that happen in churches and other places of Christian worship.

Even if you manage to succeed in convincing me that such a first cause exists, you are still left with showing me how you know what it wants or demands from me. In the event you cannot then the question becomes why should I care?

You shouldn't care. I think the question should be why do you care? You think about this God a lot for a Being who is nonexistent. What other nonexistent thing do you spend as much time and intellectual resources on

MelaninSkinGirl:
Studies show married men are happier and live longer than their single/divorced/widowed counterparts. Single/Widowed/Divorced men are more depressed and suicidal than their married counterparts.

On the other hand, studies show that Single women live longer than their married counterparts, they also retain their figures and beauty longer than their married counterparts.

These studies show that the main benefactors of marriage is the Men. Make of that what you want!!!

Studies without citations
Beer parlour studies.

I don laugh tire for this comment.

KingAzubuike:
You have still not answered my question. Why should the same God who promised and gave you wealth order you to sell them off? He asked you to follow him so he can give you wealth. He's still asking you to sell them off and give them away before you can follow him. What does he want exactly?

I can see you missed the last part of my post. Na argument you dey find.

KingAzubuike:
Oh I see. So it's the same reason he encourages you to remain poor even on Earth as seen in the book of lukes When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
Or let's call it a case of stinginess ? Or is he just being too stringent? Because how can you own a man's possession yet you don't want him to enjoy from it right on Earth.

Deuteronomy 8:18.
And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He that giveth you power to get wealth, so that he may establish His covenant which He swore with your fathers, as it is this day.

God has a wealth convenant with his people.

The case you are talking about was an individual who was too attached to his possessions.

Psalm 112: Blessed is the man that fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands. His children shall be mighty in the land. The generation of the righteous shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in house forever

God want you to be rich. But it must be on His terms. One of the terms is that the wealth should not take the place of God in your heart.

KingAzubuike:
It's not like I'm valueing money above him, it's simply meaningless to be authoritative over a persons wealth. God is supposed to answer the cries of the poor but instead, he tasked the rich to help them. Why should that be so? It's his duty not the duty of another man. And to make matters worse, he threatens them with eternal damnation because they refused to give? Why?

Haggai 2:8.
The silver is mine, the gold is mine, says the Lord God of hosts.

When you shed your mortal coil, you will know who truly owns money.

KingAzubuike:
Or in your infinite knowledge, tell me how you can make meaning of the book of Romans that says that we are saved by faith alone without works

But in James 2:24, it says A man is justified by works, and not by faith only

Saved and justified na synonyms

A simple one minute google search will give you the article. You don't even need a high IQ to figure that out.

Why not help me? You are about to be called out on your crap. I know you can't read properly.

Ariza:
If you like play hard to get from now till kingdom come, if he will leave after hitting it, he will leave

My advice :Don't find a Good Man, its not your job. Be a good woman and pick out of the good Men you attract. That's your job.

...and that's how she became a feminist

US women’s soccer games now generate more revenue than men’s—but the players still earn less

U.S. women’s soccer games have generated more revenue than U.S. men’s games over the past three years.

That’s according to audited financial statements from the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) obtained by The Wall Street Journal. In 2016, women’s games generated $1.9 million more in revenue than men’s games. From 2016 to 2018, women’s games generated approximately $50.8 million in revenue, compared with $49.9 million for men’s games.


So what is so funny about it?

Here is part of the answer.

Stop spreading falsehood. Provide the link for the complete article.

Another round of disgusting nonsense. How do you become entangled in stuff like this? I had no idea you had some notoriety here. Always thought you were just another young lady with old fashioned morals and conservative views.

My dear, you have to learn to ignore and not allow yourself to get on the defensive. Don't let anyone control you with their words. If someone addresses you respectfully, you respond. If they cannot be respectful, you should feel no obligation to acknowledge their words. It's not your fault they have poor communication skills. You simply ignore. If you don't know how, watch me ignore anyone that quotes my post for rubbish or passes snide comments about it Do not feel any obligation to argue and convince. What is that bible verse again about contentious arguments?

You should have better things to do with your time than give audience to trolls. It doesn't take deep thought to know that it's thoroughly distasteful to fight and bully online but people are still going to do it. Why? Hurt people hurt people. Never mind what anyone say, a fulfilled,
happy person does not come online and display thuggery because of a disagreement with another's views. Why then would you get into a back and forth with such characters? You have no influence over their lives but they feel a need to pass vile comments because they don't like what you are saying. That's insane.

Apparently, whatever evil threads you have on here hit a number of people the wrong way thus the caustic reactions. C'est la vie! I don't agree with every single thing you write but I respect and uphold your right to say it. You are not going to be able to convince everyone, even Jesus could not so why get distracted with arguments that are going nowhere?

My eldest once said everyone is entitled to their ignorance. Maybe you are the ignorant, maybe it's me, maybe it's your trolls. Who cares! Everyone should be able to enjoy their ignorance. Being constantly argumentative is caused by pride and ego. You know what I've learnt? The smartest people on earth avoid arguments and they are some of the most broad minded persons you will ever meet but empty barrels must to make the most noise! It is a natural act. Don't be tempted to waste your non renewable resource (TIME) on catty arguments. You were made for more.

Like my pastor says, if people can freely boast about degenerate behavior, what is stopping you from speaking about non degenerate behavior? If interpretation of degenerate differs, so be it, differences are allowed.

In summary, learn to ignore. Enjoy your life and use your time wisely


Lest I forget, congrats on your perfect marriage Forget what anyone says, no one enters marriage praying for it to not be
perfect. Na condition dey make crayfish bend.

Brilliant.
At bold.

They are just bitter and envious. The perfect marriage is what everyone wants. One group has tried and failed at it, so it's a case of sour grapes.

The other group are those who do not know anything but want to be seen as part of the "happening" and "woke" crew, so they just do follow follow. It is the second group that I pity.

It will end in tears for them and they'll graduate to the first crew...and the cycle will continue like that.

crackland:
Isn't it funny how right in the same sentence where people should be allowed to have their own choices, yet when the OP has chosen to abide by her religious beliefs and still chose to share tit-bits of it here for anyone who cares to accept it, you claim she is pushing it on people.


Pushing it with what please?
A microphone on one hand, and an automatic machine gun on the other?

Baffling.

Acidosis:
I think your opinion is based on your perception of the moniker. She's one of the few persons here that carry "marriage matter for head" yeah, which isn't bad as many of her antagonists want us to believe.

Even if the purpose is to tell us that marriage is somehow better than work, it's still an opinion although I don't think she's compared both in anyway.

I am convinced a lot of people are threatened by her personality and values about life, marriage and family.

The message I've seen here shouldn't in anyway be a threat. I hold stronger, probably more annoying ideas about career and family.

It's not hard to understand. Degenerates are always threatened by virtue.

I don't how an opinion can trigger people so much. Even the mod said she's pushing her opinions on people, as if she has ever forced anyone to click her threads.

Thread is 24 pages and they are still gathered here. If it gets to hundred pages they'll still be here reading line by line.

There's something about it that keeps bringing them.

They are not triggered by the thread really. They are just pricked by Bukatyne stands for. If any other person had opened this thread with the same words it would not generate this much bile.

Jealousy is written all over the article.

Well put.

Only a foolish person thinks the Bishop is after any money.

Ojukoroju stealing want to commence

So true.

I hope these girls do not see this thread. They're going to be heartbroken.
