This thread is for Christians who are scientists, whether they are doctors, lab assistants, technicians, engineers etc.

HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOUR RELIGION WITH SCIENCE? THIS IS VECAUSE THEY CAN BE POLAR OPPOSITE AT TIMES.

JUST LOOK AT THESE QUESTIONS

1. As a biologist, how do you explain Jesus rising from the dead, when you know that a dead body can't rise again especially after 3 days?


2. Where does Jesus's other set of chromosomes come from if Joseph is not his father (no biological father)


3. As a geologist, wouldn't there be earth or soil under any body of water? Then how could God in genesis claim to have floated over deep waters and created the earth?

4. How do you reconcile pastors healing diseases with no cure? How can someone be healed of Aids, Ebola etc?

5. How can an astrophysicist look at the vast emptiness of outer space and agree that a great omniscient God created such a waste?

it means science has a long way to go in unraveling the mystery of world

hopefulLandlord:
all agnostics and atheists are hellbound just like Muslims, Hindus, Jews etc according to your doctrine

why then do you prefer one over the other?

either hot or cold .if you are warm spit you out

agnostic sometimes have a problem with taking decisions due to fear of commitment and responsibility

suppose a guy proposes to a girl and she doesn't answer yes or no,how would you feel

.she keeps saying I don't know whether I will marry you or not. guy keeps asking for fifty years,same reply. till they both get old and die ..

she ended up not marrying him,and not giving him an answer .

invariably, she said no to the proposals. not saying yes = saying no= failure to give positive answer

life is about risk. if you don't take a choice,how will you go to Lagos
car of life is moving .time doesn't wait
as car remains stagnant,it's engine detoriates

no body can prove God and no one can disprove god so both are wrong so I prefer not to choose. it is like traveling to Lagos and reaching a t junction. and not knowing whether to go left or right. atheist choose left while theist choose right

agnostic prefer to remain in the middle not taking any decision. it may sound reasonable but
.

atheism makes a definite choice .it bets against god. it lives as if there is no god ..theism bets that there is God.

agnostic prefer neutral.it tries to avoid choice. it wants to escape responsibility associated with choice and being committed to such choice

an agnostic is one who avoids the question of god. avoid choosing yes or no, belief or unbelief..atheism or theism

first and foremost,I am a Christian, a Catholic

agnostic , come in. let's discuss

KNOW YOU ARE RELIGIOUS WHEN : -
1. You have to face a certain direction to pray. My dear God is everywhere.
2. You have to speak another man's language in belief that that is the only way to communicate with the creator of all. My dear God understands Swahili, Efik, Hausa even Pidgin that has no dictionary.
3. You have to use some items given you and taught you to use by your so called religious leaders for prayers to the God that also created the man who doesn't use those things. Hmm, My dear, the greatest item ever created is you yes you cuz no man can create you but those thing were made by men..
4. You believe it's your cleaning the church or mosque that cleans your heart and evangelism by carrying loud speakers to disturb people's peace in the 'early hours of the morning' or 'stressed hour of the evening' is the work of God. My dear you are just doing work for yourself and your own associates as those edifice called churches and mosques were built by men. The only edifice built by God is the world, nature and you. Ensure the betterment of either of those three thing or all and see if your blessings won't come. Your blessings will surely come cuz that's the only way to work for God as God's work is to make life better for man.
5. You have to learn praying in tongues. My people things of the spirit aren't learnt they are given as gift to the bearers and even the bearers won't be able to explain those gift to others but will use them for the benefit of self and others.
Good Evening.

what about mum...can't they teach us these things too

want my children to grow up to be ‘obedient’ adults, who give in to peer pressure, who are afraid to voice their opinion. Nor do I want them to grow up thinking that the way we interact with people younger than us is by coercion and control. Children are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. They can handle simple age appropriate explanations for things. They deserve reasons for our actions. I doubt I would be happy to do something I didn’t want to do if the only reason I was given was ‘because I said so’. I can extend the same courtesy to my children

Disagreeing with me is ok.
Big feelings are ok with me, and not something to be frustrated about.
By reacting this way I am teaching them that no matter if someone is bigger, older, or more powerful, it’s ok to question or stand up for what you think is right. That you can also do this in a polite and respectful way. That often things still don’t go your way and how to deal with that. If instead I chose to enforce behaviour with punishment, never let them question me, or didn’t help them with their big emotions, then how would they learn to deal with these situations in the future? How would that effect our relationship? Would they feel valued, respected, and important? Or would they feel powerless?

That your parenting should be judged on how well your children behave, how quiet they are, how obedient they appear. That somehow the tighter grip you have on them, the more you are able to influence them and they will turn into a respectable adult.
And so ‘talking back’ is ok with me (as long as it’s not rudely).
Asking me why they can’t do something is ok with me.
Trying to negotiate with me is OK

want obedient children
If you heard someone described as obedient, what thoughts does it bring to mind? Someone with no mind of their own, who will do what you tell them, who won’t stand up for themselves. Oh no, that’s not what I’m aiming for, and so I do not want ‘obedient’ children.
Children used to be expected to be ‘seen but not heard’, to never answer back, to do as their parents say for no other reason than ‘because I said so!’ Thankfully that has changed a bit, but it does seem to me that a lot of peoplearestill striving for obedience from their children. Or at least that a lot of people expect you to be. The mother in the shopping centre with a screaming child can expect glares and ‘control your child’ comments from passersby. As if children aren’t their own person but more like possessions to be controlled.

I will wake up

ii don't understanding this, last time I checjed

ifenes:
Religion is necessary because the people are still giving it attention. Once they spot the lies and control agenda it will fall like a pack of cards.

religions is still relevant as an organised social institution

APC equal PDP.. no difference

ojingbe:

religion was born out if freethinking

the way buhari carry osubanjo like a son

guess the name of this chutvh


.their analytical mind makes them analyse the Bible. They can be bibliantry. You can’t have any discussion with them without any reference to the
bible.their ten year old member can win you in a biblical argument if you are not prepared.
They take old testament too serious.they can be rigid on little laws while committing greater sins.this makes them look like hypocrites.
They love law and order.their activities follow a definite routine.they do what they strongly believe is right. Their service could be really boring .they limit the use of musical instrument. Whenever a controversial issue arise,they seek for biblical interpretation before taking a Decision. Most times,their decision don’t align with the majority.they choose to stick with the minority and don’t mind loosing members.they are note likely to stick to biblical instruction on others they have zero tolerance to politics .
Their top members are highly psychological. They use persuasive tips to convert one.they begin by agreeing with your perspective before gradually tuning you to theirs.
They use love as a tool.they shower love to their members more than non
members.They seek for members from broken homes and shower them with love while gradually converting him. They withdraw the love from erring members until such members complies
Does this church sound familiar to y

church (2)
The church is an extension of their social life. They go to church to make friends. They love talk
ing. They also love love being the center of attraction.they also love singing .they dance for god. Service is lively.there is no difference between wordly and chutchy song they preach what the people want to hear so members will like them.Everyone wants to prosper so the church leader preaches prosperity .they avoid controversial issues . they are poor disciplinarian.disciploning members would make members dislike them.they tend to bend time to accommodate more people. They are more concerned of the effect of a law on the people. You won’t be surprised to find a popular prostitute or smoker as a church usher.the church is for all kinds of people.
Their leaders make good motivational
speakers.the are special so no harm would come across then.sermon is more of personal stories often exaggerated to create a personal effect.their members also learn from their pastors by exaggerating their own testimonies. Ask then to repeat the same stories and notice a lot of inconsistency
The rarely preach sin and law.
Service ipraiseas members dance and sing to the lord.expect 3hrs of praise
Did any church come to your

the man deserves it

is left hand bad! Why did god create it

Out of context, some of the
language used regularly in
church sounds more like it
belongs in some sort of
weird horror movie


Some strange church
sayings are direct quotes
from the Bible, but to
someone not familiar with
the whole story of the Bible,
they’re mind-boggling.
For example, I understand
the term “born again” is in
the Bible, but maybe
preachers should just take a
moment to explain it? I
mean, it’s not like you’re
going to casually mention
the seven-headed beast
rising up to eat the
newborn baby in Revelation,
so why are we so casual
with other confusing terms?
Here are a few that kept me
up at night and what I
thought when I heard them:



1. The Lamb That
Was Slain

a young ram was killed and it is celebrated.why didnt the killer wait for the lamb to grow and be matured before kilin
