nwabekeyi: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 .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. TV |
Akin1212:Turning, from what, from where 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: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 ![]() Akin1212: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: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: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 .Akin1212:Here again the incoherence of your own logic is glaring. If humans are but animals, why raise them any differently? Akin1212:"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: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 .Ascending higher TV |
ThothHermes:Hi Dude, No, my first time of engaging with Mr. Oaroloye. Although I may have in the past. Almost 13 years on NL. I often get monikers mixed up, forget, and of course they is multi-monikering to factor in. 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. Cheers TV |
oaroloye:I wouldn't describe him as nuts, more as passionate but misguided - and somewhat constricted . I absolutely believe fasting would deal with malaria. Not that I can testify to that in an empirical fashion.oaroloye: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 ![]() oaroloye: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: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 ![]() oaroloye: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 ![]() Cheers TV |
Akin1212: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: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: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? Akin1212:Sir, you are like an ape showing aggression towards it's own reflection . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMHnNF2rqpI Akin1212:My kids are being taught that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. With infinite meaning and, an eternal destiny. Presumably you ate yours raw .The ascendant TV |
Akin1212: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: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 , labelling a brother subjective and introducing non-animalistic attributes such as reasoning .A lovely dinner of pan-seared duck breast with an avocado and mixed green salad. Being a bit of an "animal", I wolfed it down . Must learn to deploy my more ascendant qualities. How was your doo-doo? Fresh I hope. ![]() á la carte TV |
Akin1212:Do you find it hard to accept that humans are more than animals? LordReed:Hopefully you have found the clarification you sought. Cheers TV |
oaroloye:Greetings. I wasn't validating your POV, just sharing my experience oaroloye:So was I , so is it. oaroloye:Probably not too different to non-Oyinbos in some respects ![]() oaroloye:I am not opposed to Africans. I am one oaroloye:I did have some schooling in Nigeria oaroloye:Me plagiarize? Never. It's possibly the worst literary crime going. I personally hate unauthorised editing more. At least plagiarism is a form of imitation. I sometimes plagiarise my own work - often wonder that it was me that wrote it .oaroloye:LIke I said, I wasn't looking to validate or add credibility, just share. Has fasting changed your grey hairs black? I find it slows hair growth. Cheers TV |
Akin1212: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. Then again, you may well prefer to categorise them along with animals who consume their own faeces. Speaking of which, did you enjoy your hot steaming plate of mashed doo-doo yesterday? LordReed:Wait, let me get this right; someone who believes that it's ok for human beings to employ their waste as a food source and for sexual pleasure is attempting to take the moral high ground Morning All, TV |
Akin1212:Yeah, because I really wanted to hang out with you - wallowing in mud as we discussed inter-family homosex and eagerly anticipated hot steaming bowls of our own pan-fried excrement for lunch. LordReed: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 . TV |
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 !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 ![]() 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 . 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. Best TV |
Annwrites:Morning Annwrites. Thank you for your kind words. I am encouraged. May The Holy Spirit continue to lead us into all truth, glorifying our Lord & Saviour. My regards TV |
ThothHermes:If you so desire, the truth is out there. Best TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fw1l-4EBEI |
tintingz:I thought you were excused to attend to your malady? Or, have you managed to unearth those mysterious biological factors ![]() Akin1212: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 . Truly this runs deep ![]() 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. Akin1212: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 .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 ![]() 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. Akin1212:I have answered you above. Your warped reasoning says anything humans do is instinct. And anything instinctive is therefore deemed morally good or acceptable? Akin1212:There are no inherent pathologies with the rightly ordered union of male and female. Your profanity reeks. TV |
Akin1212:Animals form homosexual relationships Yeh sure, they also congregate at gay bars . Who comes up with these arguments? Animals are brute beasts, driven by instinct. A dog will mate with a vacuum cleaner if no female is available. So humans are brute beasts now?All kinds of beastly behaviour occur in the animal kingdom, Does it follow for humans to? Take your pick, cannibalism, incest and infanticide, to name a few. And yes, the body does abhor it. The pathologies of same sex relationships are well documented. And it's more than just headaches .TV |
ThothHermes:https://ericdubay./2018/07/11/total-eclipse-of-the-mind/ www.helios7.com/nasa-lost-moon-technology/ The first 2 I chanced upon - there is a ton of stuff out there. It's so settled for me now that I've moved on. Like I did with the tithe issue when I first joined NL in 2006. Internet searches tend to suppress anything questioning heliocentrism so I'm not surprised. Happy seeking TV |
Horiolah:Have the ISS team been able to confirm the movement of the earth .1 Chronicles 16:30 Tremble before him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Cheers TV |
tintingz:"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. Cheers TV |
Horiolah:So where is it? What altitude? Can you determine its size using a telescope? Apparently it is in "low earth orbit" weightless and travelling at over 28'000kmph. Moving so fast the crew experience 16 sunsets and sunrises each day. All dis moofment - my head dey spin jare. The earth doesn't though .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. Cheers TV |
tintingz: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. Cheers TV |
ThothHermes:No, there probably is. Where it is is the question? ThothHermes:And, there is documented evidence of the sun and moon both being seen during a lunar eclipse. Also googleable ThothHermes:Psalm 104:5 He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. That's a no! ThothHermes:What is space? And where does it begin? Biblically I don't believe we can escape the hard firmament. Nasa now says we can't escae the van allen belt - after having supposedly traversed it a half doxzen or so times during the Apollo missions ![]() Cheers TV |
ThothHermes:At all - I just cross-reference against the bible, then look closely at things that contradict it. 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. Cheers TV |
EMILO2STAY: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!) Best TV |
Horiolah:Romans 3:4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar... Horiolah: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: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. nwabekeyi: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 ![]() 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. Cheers TV |
tintingz:Always happy to learn something new ![]() 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: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 .Cheers TV |
nwabekeyi: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 ![]() Thanks TV |
nwabekeyi: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: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 TV |
nwabekeyi:Please present the evidence. A telescope will show the movement of the heavenly bodies, not the movement of the earth. nwabekeyi:Have you carried out this experiment? If so please evidence and detail your findings. What did it demonstrate? Cheers TV |
nwabekeyi: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. Cheers TV |
nwabekeyi: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? Anything we can discern? Anything you can empirically demonstrate. Can you provide a scientific (observable, testable, repeatable, falsifiable) methodology for your measurements. Cheers TV |
tintingz: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:Pray tell, what are these verifiable biological factors? Cheers TV |
Horiolah: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? ![]() 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. Or is it blind faith ![]() 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. Make the earth move for me bro' ![]() 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) Matthew 4:8 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) Cheers TV |
