OLAADEGBU:
Matthew and Mark both listed women as the first to see the resurrected Christ.  Mark says, "He appeared first to Mary Magdalene" (Mark 16:9).  But Paul lists Peter (Cephas) as the first one to see Christ after the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:5).

Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, then to the other women, and then to Peter.  Paul was not giving a complete list, but only the important one for his purpose.  Since only men's testimony was considered legal or official in the 1st Century, it is understandable that the apostle would not list the women as witnesses in his defense of the resurrection here.

The seeming 'contradictions' in the Bible are there for a reason.  God has deliberately included seeming 'contradictions' in His Word to "snare" the proud.  He has "hidden" things from the "wise and prudent" and "revealed them to babes" (Luke 10:21), purposely choosing foolish things to confound the wise (1 Cor.1:27).

  For example, the four Gospels give four differing accounts as to what was written on the sign that hung on the cross.  Matthew said, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews" (Matt. 27:37).  However, Mark 'contradicts' that with "The King of the Jews" (Mark 15:26).  Luke says something different when he said; "This is the King of the Jews" (Luke 23:38), and John maintains that the sign said "Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews" (John 19:19).  Those who are looking for contradictions such as the Atheists, Muslims and occultists would jump to the conclusion and say  "the Bible is full of contradictions!"  and choose to reject it entirely as being untenable.

Genuine Christains who trust God have no problem harmonising the Gospels.  There would be no contradictions if the sign simply said, "This is Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews."  The godly base their confidence on two truths

i laugh!

WHAT A LAUGH!
YOU CHRISTIANS NO GO LAUGH ME DIE!!
First you say there are no contradictions and the divine authour has his finger prints making the word "virtually uncompromisable". . . .
Now you claim he did add compromises and contradictions in order to "snare" unbelievers!
OLADEEGBU you no go kill us ooo

Why would a loving good who wants everybody to be saved deliberate set  traps for unbelievers in his word?? If god can come down to die for us, why would he be wicked in sabotaging himself (the word is god)?
oladeegbu these questions scream for answers!

OMO IBO:
Why all the pyrotechnics!

It beggars belief that you lot still do not understand how to deal with this Obnoxious dude.
I must say that i find the reaction from you lot amusing. You lose the plot each time you come out barking and screaming.

This was a prank by gaggi and to be sincere they all overreacted a bit. Personall i saw the whole thing as a joke.

No2Atheism:
- historical records tell us he cannot be white
- bible records tell us he cannot be white

Why do you keep believing the western media that the Messiah was white even wen u claim not to support the western media, is that not hypocrisy to use a western propaganda as ur basis for truth and yet claim some other people are lying.

Yes i know most ignorant people and christians are actually think the Messiah was a white man, probably due to the history of slavery and colonialism where a white image was used to propagate european propaganda.

Yes i know most white people don't like to admit it that they actually do not have a resemblance or similarities to the messiah of the bible.

At least @Tudor when u are making a statement of fact, let it be based on fact and not on popular opinion. do your research and stop insinuating that the Messiah was white, cus the bible shows that He simply cannot be white. Abi u see anywhere where either of the disciples or the Messiah himself was sun burned in that area of the world.

Please lets use logic for our views.

What a shame!
Even the original lying authors of the bible couldn't even agree on the details of his ressurection, i do not expect you goons thousands of years later to reach a consensus on his skin colour! - christianity i one big joke!

JIL:
@Tudor,

You are a fool. Your post doesn't even make sense as usual. Call your Mother on the phone and tell her she's a slowpoke. You fool. If only your parents could see your posts on Nairaland, they would curse the day they shagged and gave birth to you.

You are not only an embarrassment to your parents but also to other atheists. You do not have the capacity to even articulate your conviction. All you ever do is make foolish and unjustifiable statements that you can not prove.

Don't get me wrong but i knew incest was terrible and screws up the psche of the abominate child, but i never knew it was this bad! The anger you display is soooo touching. . . .I weep for you. . .

Abuzola:
Alright, but i won't cease opening thread in their section till they also refrain from doing it here, i will thread softly. Are you satisfy ?

Forget it, we'll keep on exposing the murder, beheading, forced marriages, thighing, child sexual abuse, terrorism etc. That allah commands of you muslims. The truth they say is BITTER!

Mukina forgive me for my outrage on you yesterday, you people make me sick.

You make us sick with your constant harassment and threats issued against anyone who opposes the farce called islam instead of debating sensibly.

Once am in NL and see those blaspheme i will avenge it, maybe i should quit NL [/b]if i don't want my heart to be broken because if i retaliate you people will say is unfair, am thinking of quiting.

Please GO! we are tired of seeing e-terrorists and jihadists issuing threats at anyone and everyone!

The answer to my complain wasn't answer at all.

HOW LONG DO YOU WANT US TO ENDURE, [b]TILL ONLY ONE VISITOR REMAIN ?

wouldn't that be paradise??. . .i can just envision the peace and e-threat free forum.

WHEN THREADS ARE STARTED THE CHRISTIAN HIJACK IT, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THE CHRISTIAN OUTNUMBER US ? ALL MEASURES HAVE BEEN GROUNDED TO STOP THE HIJACK AND BLASPHEME,

That is not blasphemy, we're simply exposing the falsehood and evils of islam.

ARE WE GOING TO WAIT TILL 2080 WHEN THEY DIE ?

dream on! As time goes on more muslims will see past the lies and fight against islamic falsehood.

YOU WILL VERILY ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN YOUR GRAVE WHEN INTEROGATED BY ANGEL MUNKARU AND NAKIRU.

Who the hell are these star wars characters??

WE HAVE TRADED PEACEFULLY TO THEM SINCE IT IS THE CONTRARY THE WANT WHY NOT SERVE THEM.

peacefully?? Is there any word like peace in islam?? Suicide bombings and terrorism sound more like PIECES than PEACE.

Again, mukina i apologize to the unfortunate incident.



Masalam

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!

@Tudor,

This is a fool who sincerely believes that he descended from baboons. Little wonder he thinks and speaks like one of them.

Since your parents are christians, you are saying that they are morons! I wish you have the guts to tell them that yourself.[b] They say charity begins at home. [/b]Convert your parents to atheists first and then you can have the justification to spill your evil thoughts on Nairaland.

I couldn't agree better with the statement above.

You know theres a reason why incest is illegal. If your father hadn't raped your sister repeatedly to produce you this INBRED, we wouldn't be subjected to your moronic stupidity here on NL. Charity does indeed begin at home, even abominations like you are no exception.

Nesia, i didn't say it wasn't rude or immoral, sure it was, all i pointed out was that he broke NO rules. Banning him like some are requesting is indiscriminate.

Nesia:
Like i said birds of the same feather flock together so i can't blame you.



Where are the moderators? they are not doing their jobs.

The moderators CAN DO NOTHING, he's broken NO RULES!
The best they can do for you is MOVE IT TO THE JOKE SECTION.

Nesia:

u r not blind to see it is her nikky23. stop deceiving urself and supporting such posts.

No i cannot see it's nikky23. WE DO NOT KNOW WHO SHE REALLY IS OR WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE.

Even if it was to the joke section, it was without her permission.

once she published those photos through the world wide web she forfeited her rights to them. Besides nude pics of politicians and celebrities are all over this forum NO ONE ASKED FOR THEIR PERMISSION

[/quote][quote]This is a forum, anyone can put their picture up or not, i chose not to by personal choice, she chose to put hers by personal choice.

Thats why uploading a picture is OPTIONAL. If you choose to upload then you've got to live with the consequence that you have ABSOLUTELY no right to that image thereafter.

gaggi has no right for such with immoral words. stop supporting evil.

gaggi has EVERY right. The image is free on the internet and he didn't publicly humiliate anyone by calling names.

*i'm gonna play devil's advocate here*
You guys are just bitching unnecessarily!
The post was quite funny. Where did gaggi mention Nikky23' s name as the ashawo in question?? She was the one who came and confirmed that she indeed was the subject.
When she uploaded that pic she lost all rights to the image and there's no known registered copyright to that image. Besides how are we sure d pic actually belongs to her?? She could have gotten it from some other website from which Gaggi also copied it and edited for his joke.
The picture was blackeyed so i wonder how people can confidently claim it's nikky23.

No where in the rules of nairaland did it say one cannot joke with a picture. People uplod pictures of celebrities, politicians and pastors defacing and calling them names, where they asked for permission. Few years ago NUDE pics of anita hogan were on this website, people were so happy and went into a frenzy calling her all sorts of names. Nobody thought to ask if it was with her permission. Hon alausa of ogun state NUDE pictures are all over the politics section,did anyone ask his permission.
She decided to publish that photo [if indeed it's really her's] whatever is done with it is out of her juridisction [her name wasn't even mentioned on the O.P].

Gaggi has done NOTHING illegal, he's broken NO RULES deleting his post or banning him would be indiscriminate. The worst that should be done is to move it to the joke section.

What an interesting write-up. . . .it would have been funny had it not been sadly true.

olabowale:
May Allah reward you abundantly, Frizy! Surah Waqiah is beautiful and good for the soul after Isha and after Salah Subh, with a lot of Zhikr. The heart is soft like that of the shepard, not hard like that of the cowboy.

Why dont you go check out the heart of good and faithful servants of allah like osama bin laden.

Mohammed was poisoned and he died as a result of the complications 3 years later. What kind of a prophet cannot forsee that a plate of food is poisoned? At least elijah in the bible threw a stick into a pot and the poison disappeared. Why didn't mohamed do likewise??

toneyb:
The mythical moses and some of the prophets of your warrior god raped innocent women, enslaved others and pillage the cities of others according to the bible no?

I wonder why they are ranting stupidly. . .didn't moses do worse??

JIL:
This deluded goon is at it again. Making wild statements that he cannot prove. If your parents, who I learnt are 'christians' , did not give you proper training at home does not mean that you should hate christianity for it.

All your posts are ideas that emanate from your wicked,evil and deluded mind. If you feel so strongly about your views and are very sure about your position, how about saying same to your parents rather than recyling your evil thoughts on Nairaland over and over again.

And here is a slowpoke who believes a dead white jew is gonna burst from the clouds to save him. Who's the deluded goon? Ha ha ha

davidylan:
i think the reverse is ACTUALLY THE CASE with the majority of you. Deep down you know that evolution is FALSE . . . if you didnt have to counter creationism with something, anything . . . you would NEVER believe it.

If evolution were a FACT like bindex and co like waffling about . . . you wont even bother to log unto the religion section.

the difference between me and you is that evolution or not, i am FIRM . . . SOLID AS A ROCK in my belief that the bible is true. [/b]I dont need to tender proof to you . . . [b]its a belief that wont EVER CHANGE . . . so good luck making noise like the empty barrel you are.

Only a slowpoke would believe like this without evidence. Didn't you say you were a scientist?. . .what a shame. . .you're an embarrasment to the scientific community!
You should have become a bible preacher since you're so firm in the bible rather than seek to make money from science you hypocritically claim is false.

noetic2:
whats the alternative to creationism?

That we have no alternative doesn't mean we swallow your myth hook line and sinker.
WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE FOR CREATION??

noetic2:
u keep ranting like an illiterate. whats the basis of these assertions?

basis: no evidence has been given to support creationism by you jesus zombies.

They should allow the poor guy share in oga's loot abeg.

The problem with our police force is CORRUPTION. I guess it's as a result of their poor pay. I do get a feeling that things might not change even if they triple their pay.

Even a slowpoke knows zebra crossings are useless in nigeria.

I fail to understand the "get ready for war" part. . .

SCYLLA:
2)  Murder, rape and pillage of the Midianites    (Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)



    They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men.  All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle.  They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.  Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder.  They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived.  After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.



    Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to meet them outside the camp.  But Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle.  "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded.  "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor.  They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people.  Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man.  Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.



Clearly Moses and God approves of rape of virgins.

Was that the mind of God?

Thank you. . .May you father many sons!!!!

I dey corner dey watch too.

@Abuzola

I think you need to read 'the prophet's way of correcting people's mistakes' and when done, you learn how a muslim should treat fellow muslims publicly and the reward with regards to dealing with faults of muslims but all the same I still dey read from you and others. We learn everyday

Maa Salam.

How did the prophet correct peoples mistakes? Is it not by jihading and murdering them??
Abuzola is simply being true to islam and mohammed. Abuzola ride on! Declare jihad on them all!

mukina2:
ok i think i have noticed you
now move on
You got nothing to do/add/take from me so why would i want to hear what you have to say.
Do not refer to me directly or indirectly
Nairaland has 1234567 members, you can chose any random name but let it not be mukina.

How many of that number have you jihadly banned several only for them to re-register again and again swelling the members count?
The sad thing is people only get banned when they speak the truth about islam. *hiss*

I dont play nice

We know, e-terrorism isn't nice!

another delusive rant. .  . .when will u start talking sense?

when you throw away your jesus delusions, you'll start to see sense in what i say. . .

No2Atheism:

Don't bother cus those fake pastors are going to pay for what they are doing , and its not going to be funny for them. Position of a Pastor is one of the most dangerous jobs that any man can aspire to cus of the physical and spiritual consequences of such a job.

The so called financial enjoyment is strictly just for a while, why the judgement starts even u sef would be suprised as to why.

When will these fools pay for what they're doing? How long will it take your so called god to intervene? Most of them have been running their fraud for over 25years and in that time innocent members who just wanna seek god die of hunger and poverty, even successive generations of these fraudsters continue the business. Does yahweh not care?
It seems he enjoys seeing people being misled to hell fire. If he is a loving god as claimed as soon as these morons set up shop immediate intervention is seen. Yea well, One of the may flaws and contradictions in this yahweh character the isrealite tribesmen created.

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=13395.msg4187517#msg4187517 date=1247603756]rather than constantly expose your mental limitations everywhere on nairaland, why not stick to something you know, if anything at all?

is there anything you know? because from 99% of your posts here, that's highly debatable.

is it too late for you to try adult education? I'm speaking as a concerned citizen because na people like you dey give others a bad name.

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=13395.msg4182428#msg4182428 date=1247548754]do Nigerian atheists expect some kind of prize for what they term their "intelligent analysis of the non-existence of God"?

They want people to worship them and do they expect special treatment?

One of my friend's relations who was an educated atheist, married a woman who barely graduated high school. And who was a heavy white garment church goer. The aladura type.
