Bros, leave story. If the planet suddenly ceases motion, we will all fall off it. It's simple law of inertia.
Apart from that, a lot of abnormalities will happen. You people just hate the truth
You are too funny.

We are on a plane, not a planet.
A plane that does not move. It is fixed, immovable, as the Creator - God most High, Creator of the heavens and the earth, made it grin.

The sun, moon and stars orbit the earth, which is at the center of creation. As clesrly recorded in the book of Joshua, it was the sun and moon which halted in their orbits.

Please explore the records of antiquity,almost to a one there is a record of an extra long/short day.

Glory to God, who created and upholds all thongs by the Word of His power.

Akin1212:
Lmao, are you turning around now?
Turning, from what, from where huh The fact that one classification system can be applied means that no other one can be? And, if a classification is used, it therefore follows that all the attributes/behaviours of the things so classed should be equalised?

Akin1212:
You said humans are more than being animals, by what valid standards? Human no matter who they are are animals in scientific usage. And this is the most objective position.
Yes, all considered, whilst humans may biologically be classed as animals, in the entirety of their beings there are categorically different to mere brute beasts. Because a "scientific" framework is the only one permitted? Or because science as you understand it knows, or has the answer to everything? And, AKIN1212 is objectively able to make that assertion?. Such hubris, and on full frontal display grin

Akin1212:
Any other usage is subjective and that was exactly what I told you! Just admit your bias and let's move on.
Again, that is merely your opinion, which does not stand scrutiny. As for bias, your unyielding insistence on seeing nothing beyond the physical is a reflection of both your blinkeredness and pride.

Akin1212:
You have no proof of any other criteria, it's a physical world. Wake up from your fantasy.
Indeed, you should open your eyes and see that which is self evident. Are consciousness and intellect merely physical? Human beings are a higher class of being than animals - regardless of the fact that they share some commonality and in a purely physical or material sense can be classed as animals

Akin1212:
Now you're no more arguing after dragging the matter over some rounds? Lol. You're stating your position not on a reasoned position, but on a position acquired by faith, which assures you that you are special among other creatures,
Arguing? I was never arguing with you, merely stating truth and charitably endeavouring to enlighten you. You on the other hand remained steadfastly confused by your own reflection tongue.

Akin1212:
whilst you're just as useless as a goat on the street, nothing is special about man, You don't need to agree.
Here again the incoherence of your own logic is glaring. If humans are but animals, why raise them any differently?

Akin1212:
It's just an advantage of difference. It still doesn't make the human more than an animal. If one human and one gorilla are kept in a cage, one one one, no other item is allowed, the gorilla will triumph.
"More" is your choice in this instance. I use the term "different". And rightly so as the degree of magnitude in that difference demands it.

Akin1212:
Lol, infinite destiny my foot. Keep lying to those kids. They might as well grow up to know you for the liar that you are. Lying for Jesus grin.
I would counsel otherwise, but feel free to raise your kids emphasising they are no more or better than goats. Again, the incoherence of your own logic is glaring. If humans are mere animals, why raise them any differently?


Truly the bible attests that the "fear of God is the beginning of wisdom", and, "the fool has said in his heart there is no God". All your prating is bound up in your insistence that there is nothing beyond the physical, which is tied to your denial of God's existence. Not something you can objectively claim. Let me leave you in peace lest you start to think you can succeed in dragging me into the mud with you grin.

Sir, literally all flat-earthers would once have been "ball" earthers. How's the journey?

I agree on the moon landings. In short, I don't actually believe it's possible. Did you follow-up on the supposed landing on the dark side of the moon by China? All CGI imagery. I haven't researched the holocaust. I don't bother with things that don't touch my faith. Much like the 9/11 theories.

SHALOM!
THE AKIN1212 NUTTER WAS TELLING US THAT ACCORDING TO HIS THEORY, FASTING TO CURE SICKNESS AND DISEASE IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Your Testimony of Fasting up to 14 days- more than long enough to cure MALARIA- supports my Testimony.
I wouldn't describe him as nuts, more as passionate but misguided - and somewhat constricted grin. I absolutely believe fasting would deal with malaria. Not that I can testify to that in an empirical fashion.

oaroloye:
OYINBOS THINK ENTIRELY DIFFERENTLY FROM AFRICANS!

They have had over 1,000 years of brainwashing to believe that they are Christians. "Normal" Africans think that Idols of Wood, Clay, Stone, etc. are superior to PEOPLE. "Therefore they do not care that millions of Africans DIE- because there are still rocks, trees, clay and stuff left."

[See: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THOUGHT, by L. Ron Hubbard.]

If an Oyinbo Politician was exposed in rigging an election, their own followers would reject them- even lynch them.

If a Nigerian Politician rigged the Election, their people would applaud their cleverness.

Someone stole my boss' laptop last week.

I advised him to go to the Fine Arts Department, and describe the person he saw leaving our lab with it hidden in a magazine, he held casually, until they could get his facial features down, and we can start looking for this (*Bleep!*)ard!

"NEVER TELL AFRICANS TO DO SOMETHING THEY CAN'T DO- THEY'LL GO SULLEN ON YOU!" (Warning to L. Ron Hubbard on his first visit to Zimbabwe.

[See: ABOUT RHODESIA, by L.Ron Hubbard.]

He couldn't do that.
You'd be surprised. Not sure there is that much different and what there is, is due to some degree to history and environment. It's why many Africans excel here. I am not counting yours truly amongst that number cheesy

oaroloye:
You spent time in England, but were not born there?

English is not your first language?

I was not accusing you of being opposed to Africans, but comparing your thought processes with those of locally-raised Africans.


Then you should know how very differently they think and talk.

That is a simple procedure for us: THEM?

Not so much.
I was born and mostly raised in England. And yes, it is my first language. Blessed to have spent time in Nigeria and experienced the culture and education system.

oaroloye:
Also, the idea of Fasting 14 days:

"For WHAT? Am I MAD?!?"
Maybe not, but there are some ailments that lengthier fasts can deal with. Between days 8 & 10 my stomach was bubbling? On day 11, I passed something that I cannot describe on a family forum grin

oaroloye:
NO AMOUNT OF FASTING WILL CHANGE GREY HAIR BLACK!

FASTING will make it GROW OUT Black.

My hair used to be almost all-WHITE- like 75%.

After my second 10-day Fast, at age 42, I lost all my grey hair.

I was accused of dyeing it.

So I waited until my hair was white again.

That took twelve years.

I found >3 week FASTING made my facial hair grow; I could never grow a beard before. I read that it increases TESTOSTERONE production.
Isn't changing black and growing out black essentially the same thing? Colour is from the root.

Oga, if you've done 10 days, 14 days isn't that much of a stretch. Do you follow any faith type protocols during fasting?

Absolutely agree about the testosterone production. It can literally go through the roof. Totally unconsidered and unexpected side-affect. Na madam dey suffer am grin

Humans are animals, this position is an objective position backed by embryology, comparative anatomy, histology, physiology, and biochemistry. It is not subjective.
And, I have not for once disputed the fact that humans can be classified as animals. If we agree a taxonomy based on your choice of limited and subjective use of physical criteria, why not? My point has always been that, based on additional or, different criteria, human beings can be considered more than, or different to brute beasts.

Akin1212:
However, show a peer reviewed academic paper that backs your subjective and egoistic claim that humans are not animals. Or are you just arguing from ignorance as usual?
I am not arguing at all, merely stating my wholly permitted and reasoned position regards the categorisation of living creatures - whilst not denying you your own.

Akin1212:
So because humans have an advantage to reason logically more than other animals, therefore humans are not animals? Lol Well, I have bad news, one gorilla have the strength of 4 adult human males, does that advantage also make a gorilla to be more than an animal?
And, I have good news. One human is able to create and manage the technology with the power of 4'000 apes. If I deem that ability a differentiator and criteria worthy of making a distinction betwixt human and ape, who are you to gainsay?

Humans are nothing but animals, not higher nor lower than animals. And this is backed by embryology, comparative anatomy, physiology and biochemistry.
Your assertion below directly contradicts your opening statement above. To claim that humans are "nothing but animals" is your wholly subjective position.

Even if we allow for a categorisation protocol based on an agreed group of criteria, that does not discount additional or different criteria yielding further or additional distinctions. Are humans animals, in a manner of speaking sure. Are humans more than just animals? absolutely.

Akin1212:
Whatever you subjectively think does not in any way affect that fact!
The fact is, humans are imprinted with the image of God. Humans possess a higher consciousness, intellect and ability to reason in an abstract sense. Further, human beings are not driven purely by instinct in their motivations and aspirations and, are capable of morally based actions.

You are free in your taxonomy to include or exclude any or, all of the characteristics I have listed. But please, don't come over all holier-than-thou cheesy, labelling a brother subjective and introducing non-animalistic attributes such as reasoning grin.

What are humans, in terms of biological classification. Plants or Animals? And if you want extended options, chose among any of these - Monera, protista, fungi, plantae and animalia.
Whichever classification captures creatures imprinted with the image of God. Or perhaps one that includes beings capable of abstract thought. Maybe a class whose constituents possess the ability to create and manage advanced multi-varied technological processes.

LordReed:
Wait what are you saying here? That there doesn't exist examples of animals forming lasting same sex bonds (for sex)?
Not really. And even where it might happen, it would be due to misreading of the social protocols amongst animals, dysfunction in the individuals or in their settings.

I wonder, although I'm not really surprised, at how anyone would introduce animal behaviour to justify the same in humans. Dysfunction across species is still dysfunction, not justification. Do we even do that for behaviour that can be considered morally neutral?

It's my fault. What has the holy to do with the profane, or the pure with the perverted. Go ahead, enjoy time grooming each others armpits ahead of your hot steaming bowls undecided.

Christianity Etc › Re: The Revival Of Fasting In Modern Pentcostal Christianity. by TV01(m):
I really enjoyed this write-up and, if I didn't fast already, it would possibly have inspired me to.

I've fasted for years, but more as a health nut than a Christian, although one seemed to feed the other - no pun intended.
I used to fast for a couple of days - over weekends was typical for me - Friday nights till Monday mornings. I always felt re-invigorated after.

Then, and for a confluence of reasons, I started to look into longer fasts. I had seen things and it had been on my radar, but only in a peripheral manner.

But as is my wont, as it came more into view, I decided to look into further into it. Like a lot of people I'd always thought a longer period would be literally starving myself and something that would be quite challenging. Obviously from the bible, I had no doubts it could be done and, of the spiritual and physical benefits.

So I did the research. Read about fasting in various traditions, studied the science behind it, and then let the idea sink in as I mentally prepared myself. Then promptly forgot about it cheesy!

Then one day with bank holiday Easter coming up - which meant 4 whole days off work, I decided to go for it. I figured that I'd be over the worst ahead of resuming work at what would be a very busy time.

I like simplicity, clean lines, so adopted a plain water-only strategy. Long short I completed 10 days, lost loads of weight - which wasn't actually an aim, but felt great afterward.

It's now pretty much embedded and I do it periodically, my longest being 14 days. Whilst health was always a big driver for me, it does drive you spiritually deeper of itself. The aim in future is to focus more on the period as a spiritual endeavour, which is my overall bent anyway - it will be Easter again in a month or so grin

I agree with the breaking protocols, although I don't follow them as laid down. General advice is to stay on juices, fruits and veg for as long as the fast lasted. I typically do a day of fruit, then fruit and smoothies and by the 3rd day I'm on to fish and veg. No ill effects, although I wasn't as moderate the first few times grin. I appreciate for longer fasts it may be more important to go with the standard advice.

Lot's of nuance and detail but I'll stop with the broad outline for now. Let the scoffers scoff. I have one at work who, not having read the history, studied the research or tried it himself, casually derides it - we are all entitled to our opinion, informed or otherwise.

A man penetrating a "hole in a wall" or, a woman intimately abusing herself with an inanimate object is instinct? And my thinking is been questioned by such a one cheesy. Truly this runs deep huh

Mating by dumb animals is done with an outcome in mind. As instinct driven as they are, same sex animals will never, in lieu of an opposite sex counterpart, seek to mate with one another. And, there is no evidence that demonstrates same sex animals seek to form pair bonds for sexual gratification or mating by instinct. Dumb I said, not cray-cray.

Congregating at gay bars is not what defines homosexuality, homosexuality is simply the act when animals of the same sex mate, whether it is done in the bush, water, sky, on a tree or on a mattress doesn't make it less what it is. You need to understand that. Any other thing that is attached to it is a social construct of how different animals socialize.
Man who in a pure state is capable of communing with the divine, who has the imprint of God. Man who has higher consciousness and the ability to conceptualise is by reason of depravity reduced to the level of brute beast embarassed.

Mans nature now runs the gamut from the holy to the profane, from the divine to the perverted and, to justify that which is dysfunctional and abhorrent, you would place the base animalist desires of the fallen man to the fore. Denying their estate as men, they prefer to be as the beasts tongue

Rightly Jude the Apostle spoke - 6 Remember the angels who did not stay within the limits of their proper authority, but abandoned their own dwelling place: they are bound with eternal chains in the darkness below, where God is keeping them for that great Day on which they will be condemned. 7 Remember Sodom and Gomorrah, and the nearby towns, whose people acted as those angels did and indulged in sexual immorality and perversion: they suffer the punishment of eternal fire as a plain warning to all.

My goodness.
The exact causes for Homosexuality is unknown but scientists have been able to do some experiments to theorize the causes, there are like three factors brought forward. Biological factors, Environmental factors and Psychological factors.

Here is from the link I provided.

Scientists do not know what determines an individual's sexual orientation, but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences, and do not view it as a choice. They favor biologically-based theories, which point to genetic factors, the early uterine environment, both, or the inclusion of genetic and social factors. Hypotheses for the impact of the post-natal social environment on sexual orientation, however, are weak, especially for males. There is no substantive evidence which suggests parenting or early childhood experiences play a role with regard to sexual orientation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality

I thought you even read through the link. A scientific theory does not equate to weak research.

And everything that occur in nature cannot be eradicate, as long as it doesn't hurt fellow human why having problem with it? If a gay is kind and good to people why do you think he must be jailed or killed?

Please don't give me headache this evening.
"Scientists do not know, they theorize, they favour"? You now claim experiments have been carried out. What did these experiments conclude?

I never said anything about eradicating everything in nature. Neither did I mention sanctions against "gay" people - let alone jailing or killing. My entry point was around the etiology of homosexuality, which you asserted was partly biological. Whereby I asked you to kindly enunciate what the biological factors were.

Research that is inconclusive and leaves scientists not knowing, theorising and favouring is inconclusive - i.e. weak. Please don't have a headache, you already sound wound up. I shall leave it.

You clearly asserted that homosexuality has biological factors. I asked that you state what they are. Don't backtrack. Citing theories and what "scientists" believe amounts to very little.

Either it is known, not known, or known in part. You have managed to claim not known and known in part, without being abe to outline the part (biological) you claim to be known. And then citing nature, as if everything that occurs in "nature" is somehow morally justified.

ISS - situation faked, output fabricated. As were the Moon landings, China's claim to land on the dark side of the moon and most "Space Agency" output.

Lunar eclipse on a flat earth. Not totally clear, but both sun and moon have been sighted at the same time as the lunar eclipse - something like 50 times over the last 500 years. Some posit that it could be other heavenly bodies that we are unaware of. There are 2 named in ancient Indian mythology, Ketu and Rahu I believe.

EMILO2STAY:
am beginning to believe in this flat earth thing ohh.
there was a video I watched on YouTube which actually show that the sun is local. I was thought in school that the sun is soo big it can contain a1000 earth sized matter, but I now know this is pure lie.
Persist in seeking truth bro'...you can't go wrong.

The sun and the moon are both local and in some ways act like the hands on a cosmic clock - giving rise to night and day and the seasons. They are both luminaries, created by The Most High to provide light to the earth.

The sun is not 93,000,000 million miles away or over 1.25 million times the size of the earth. Indeed the sun and moon are similar sizes and distances away. They are both within the firmament of the heaven, as are the stars.

Job 28:24 For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. (flat!)

Lol, why are you exposing the Bible like this na.
Romans 3:4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar...

Horiolah:
TV the real clown.
1 Corinthians 1:18-31 [ Christ the Power and Wisdom of God ] For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Horiolah:
I thought he was for real until I started reading his Bible quotes.
Amos 9:6 Who builds his upper chambers in the heavens and founds his vault upon the earth; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth— the LORD is his name.

He is really bad at it. He is playing the ignoramus to me
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. The bold is only possible on a flat earth grin


Do you have any evidence for motion? Are you able to prove your belief that the earth is rotating at 1'000mph, orbiting at 67'000mph, with a galaxy moving at over 500'000mph, which is in turn moving through the universe at near 1'2million mph? Anything we can discern? Anything you can empirically demonstrate. Can you provide a scientific (observable, testable, repeatable, falsifiable) methodology for your measurements.

Please educate yourself on sexual orientation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_orientation
Always happy to learn something new grin

Having educated myself, with the reference you kindly provided, it is clear that "sexual orientation" is nothing more than social shorthand for categorising sexual behaviour. It is no more scientific than a predilection for native over western attire. Or say a preference for rice over noodles. At best one can state that the cause is unknown, not proclaim that it is "scientifically proven" to be due to one thing or another.

I quote;
The term sexual preference largely overlaps with sexual orientation. Scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences.They favor biologically-based theories
tintingz:
Please Educate yourself on Homosexuality and it factors.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality
Apart from subject differences the referenced page literally mirrored the one above. Again, I quote;
Scientists do not know what determines an individual's sexual orientation, but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences, and do not view it as a choice.They favor biologically-based theories,
What we can say for sure is that the complementarity of male/female is ontologically self-evident. And we don't need dubious statements from "science so called" to deduce that. Further, we see that the correctly ordered sexual union of male and female has an outcome.

Now, having said that, even if it could be confirmed as genetic, congenital or deemed natural, that speaks nothing to the morality of the behaviour, as science (and I mean proper empirical science, not the pseudo type referenced to legitimise the abnormal), is no arbiter of morality.

Always happy to educate myself and at once school the unlearned grin.

Everything you need to know about it is online. I really think is stressful trying to elucidate a scientific experiment to someone who doesnt have prior science knowledge. If you dont understand how radiotelescopy works then i can no longer have a scientific conversation with you.

You problem is that you dont know science
So, you have run these experiments and, without any presuppositions or an agenda, and conclusively demonstrated that the earth moves on its axis at 1'000mph. Surely that is distillable in non-technical jargon for the non-scientific such as myself? Otherwise to believe your claims is no different to the approach I take with the bible, by faith.

Why should I swap faith in one for the other just because you claim to conducted an experiment which proves your claims but yet are unable to outline it? It is clear that the sun, moon and stars that move, do so around the earth

1 Timothy 6:4
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

Maybe the problem is that you believe you have knowledge and understanding, but you don't know God grin

If you have a spectroscopy that can measure red shift in respect to motion, you will ascertain how galaxies move.

you cant sit in your room and make conclusions, people are out there working hard to make things work for you and I. Get this equipment and do the work yourself
Why not share your empirical evidence. Detail what you set out to demonstrate and the outcome. Any presumptions or control factors. Shouldn't be too difficult. In language that is not too technical please.

nwabekeyi:
You are ignorant and you keep arguing, a radiotelescope can actually help ascertain how the earth moves. Without proper calculation of how the earth spins, you cant use a radiotelescope.... it wont work


i have tried the experiment and it proves that the earth rotates, maybe you can try it. If you need some help, i will be glad to help you.
As above, please share. What exactly you did, the assumptions, and the evidence that it demonstrates what you claim it does, as opposed to what you set out to prove. How fast and at what angle is this rotation that you personally evidenced?


Thanks

Yes, i do.

you can do it from your bed room if you own a telescope. i dont even think you have one.

get a telescope and you wont even ask such question online
Please present the evidence. A telescope will show the movement of the heavenly bodies, not the movement of the earth.

Also do a Foucault’s Pendulum experiment if you have a primary scientific knowledege
Have you carried out this experiment? If so please evidence and detail your findings. What did it demonstrate?

these are not observations and assumption, they are proven facts and it is so whether you accept it or not.

ICT will not work without orbiting satellites and a spinning earth.

Coriolis effects cannot work in a stationery earth, you need read about how it works as only spinning object posses coriolis effect (read up)

Life on a stationery earth is impossible as electromagnetic field will not be generated and the will all die from solar wind.

As a matter of facts, nothing in the universe is stationery, little read up will help you understand how it works. There is no need denying something because we are ignorant about how it works.



At the stage of civilization, we should not be educating learned people on this subject matter, with your telescope you can see the International space station in the night sky orbiting the earth. Let's dont sound ridiculous because we want to argue...
Do you have any evidence for motion? Are you able to prove your belief that the earth is rotating at 1'000mph, orbiting at 67'000mph, with a galaxy moving at over 500'000mph, which is in turn moving through the universe at near 1'2million mph? Anything we can discern? Anything you can empirically demonstrate. Can you provide a scientific (observable, testable, repeatable, falsifiable) methodology for your measurements.

Time zone
day and night
coriolis effects
footages from the ISS
orbiting satellites
internet services
electromagnetic waves
solstices and eqinoxes
Wind movement

etc are all proofs that the earth is not stationery and rotates about its axis
Your assumptions as to how what we experience, or observe, fits with what you believe, is not proof, just opinion. However, I'll take the first few;

Day & Night - we see the sun move which it does, orbiting the earth. It is small, local and lights up part of the earth at any one point/time. Hence day and night on a flat stationary earth.

Coriolis effect - has been observed to go either way in either hemisphere

Footage from the ISS - please show it to us

Orbiting satellites - orbiting what? where? (at what altitude) show us examples.

Do you have any evidence for motion? Are you able to prove your belief that the earth is rotating at 1'000mph, orbiting at 67'000mph, with a galaxy moving at over 500'000mph, which is in turn moving through the universe at near 1'2million mph?

Homosexuality is part of sexual orientation and we don't fully understand this phenomena.
What is sexual orientation? Sex is a biomechanical act. It is functional, to which the ontology of the human body fully attests. Whatever this "orientation" is, if it does not accord with functionality is that not in some way discordant?

tintingz:
Like i said pica has very little biological findings, it is consider a mental disorder.

Homosexuality has biological factors and two other factors, we still fully don't understand why people are gay just like how we don't fully understand why we yawn.

Nature doesn't have to be positive or purposeful, nature is nature and there's nothing we can do about it.
Pray tell, what are these verifiable biological factors?

Your subjective pronouncement on my mental condition - which I totally reject by the way - is no evidence of the earths motion or shape. Or is it? cheesy

What about the shape? Show us the curvature or water curving. Show us something observable for the claimed spherical shape or evidence, or an experiment.

Daniel 4:11
The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. (the whole of a globe earth cannot see a tree no matter how high it grows)

Isaiah 38:8
Behold, I will make the shadow cast by the declining sun on the dial of Ahaz turn back ten steps.” So the sun turned back on the dial the ten steps by which it had declined. (the sun moves, not the earth - its, small, local and acts like a spotlight, covering no more than half the earth at any one time/point)

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. (one cannot see the whole of a globe no matter how high one ascends)
