To dictate means from intellect to intellect; Inspiration means from Spirit to spirit and the mind/intellect is likewise guided on the choice of words to express that which is expressed and/or events that should be included. Dictation is limited to words but Inspiration covers both words and actions taken.

From my little experience, it comes like a light shining into your spirit and almost immediately, you are moved thereby to speak and at such time a door of utterance seems to have been opened not to pour out residual knowledge from the head but to transmit that which was shed in your heart.

When the creator INSPIRES you to write something, does it mean that the knowledge is your own? Or does the inspiration from an almighty creator work the same as a dictation between humans? Cristiano Ronaldo may inspire you start playing football, but he doesn't necessarily have to tell you or even know you. Is the bible the same way or did these people hear voices?

Scholar8200:
All scripture is [size=15pt]given by inspiration[/size] of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Timothy 3:16

Meaning everything you find therein is given by God's inspiration (not dictation) for a purpose just as Paul's thorn (and grace of Apostleship) were both given for a purpose!

When it comes to an almighty creator being, what is the difference between a dictation and an inspiration?

The god industry is following the trend set a long time ago by aspiring rappers. Just say that Tupac once praised your mixtape in front of Dr. Dre and you would already have your feet in the door.
The new prophet is seeking followers.

Whose child is this primate? Even his own parents took one look at him and recognized the insatiable cravings of an ordinary beast.

He's just another atheist masquerading as a prophet of God.

Why Christians turning to be atheist, why not try Islam to see for yourself what the religion is all about rather than lazily and cowardly believing how the west portray Islam due to oil..
Bro. If you find emptyness in Christianity then try finding fulfillment in Islam..
Don't be lazy , give it a try.

Same thing. The Talking Allah cannot be substantiated. So he only spoke once and since then decided to
STFU?

The Bible provides recipes which guarantee an encounter or at least a manifestation. The recipes don't work. Unlike the invisible wind, the bible god doesn't move objects remotely.

As far as something or someone creating the universe, it has nothing to do with the bible god who has ALREADY been DEFINED in the pages of the bible. The claim that he exists stands independent of other philosophical questions about the origin of the universe.

They both have valid points.

Edek27:
As the topic states let's talk about why you don't believe in God.
I personally I'm a christian
I dunno plenty atheists so I can't mention bt the ones I know here they are»

The Bible disproves it's own god. In addition to that, the Christian god has never been seen or heard or felt by me. I only believed the anecdotal evidence presented in the Bible on blind faith.

There's no reason for me to assume that he exists, especially if the Bible cannot validate itself.

Your opinion. There are beautiful women everywhere.

I perfectly agree with you.....And one of those "ridiculous" possibilities is God the creator!

Long time my Friend!

Glad to be back. Even though I never left.

promise10:
You believe that mark REALLY created facebook even WITHOUT a physical proof.

He's the face of Facebook. Like Steve Jobs was the face of Apple. The real work is done by nameless scientists.

The only threshold between you and what you seek is a financial one. Unlike your god who still doesn't speak to rich people.

Besides, it's not that unusual to doubt the origin of Facebook. I haven't seen Mark Zuckerberg. He's not related to me. Nobody I know has seen him in person. The only difference is that we CAN take measures to see him by using money. We know what we need to do to meet Mark Zuckerberg or verify his identity. The Bible tells us what we need to do to meet your deity. Except that it's NOT TRUE. The recipes don't work.

shadeyinka:
Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia states that:


This brings the question: At time t=0 (before the big bang), was space constituent static? Expanding universe actually show that at a time, the universe must essentially be a "point object".

If that is true, how come an "expansion of the universe" was initiated without an "external " cause?

Sorry, my understanding of Basic Physics is limited.

It takes a greater Faith being an Atheist!

Is it possible for natural events to contradict the dear leader Newton? Before rushing to conclusions, you must first evaluate even the most ridiculous possibilities.

@ Emboldened text - You are wrong

Humans evade the authorities or cease their illegal activities in the presence of the authorities.

This pastor, you mean, has spoken to an almighty creator, know that he's being watched, and yet disobeys the almighty anyway. Is that what you're telling me? That some humans have an affinity for death by roasting?

Rossikk:
Pls.. I need to know if i'm committing a sin by admiring a certain woman's nyash.....my neighbour.....And we're not married.... Pls help!

You might as well kill pesin. The punishment is the same, both are hellfire offenses.

So why turn into an owl? Is it for transportation reasons? I'm trying to see the immediate benefit of using an owls body.

Why not change into a lion or tiger or any of the big cats? They also have night vision eyeballs and long teeth and claws.

seggzz:
We can clearly see from this your question that atheists claim to know what is all to know about. You can't prove if creation is eternal within nature or accidental. You can't prove your belief. Any body who can't wait simply means he/she knows it all. You even lack the knowlege regarding your environment and its enormous benefits and yet comes out saying, what is there to wait for. If you agreed that you need to wait, why conclude there is no good. It is only somebody who has all evidences that can say there is no god. I doubt anyone of you(Militant Atheist) has any complete evidence to disapprove god.



My opponent is any group or system who concludes or generalized there is no god or god doesn't exist is my opponent. I was once an atheist but i discovered most atheists are not honest.


I hailed you for this bolded statements. It's also my goal to do so in this our corrupt world. This world is plague with some lies and evil doctrines like the bible and other religious scriptures. The Scriptures are mind control mechanisms and should put away. My intelligent people in Nigeria looks silly with religion. Is it not stupid for a pastor to ask his members the whole salary to sow a seed? I want to be involved in the liberation of Nigeria or even the world from religious slavery and bondage. But my honest question is why do you think there is no god or god doesn't exit?

Only someone who doesn't understand the argument will keep asking that question.

God doesn't have one single connotation. There are different ideas which all claim that moniker. I myself think that subatomic particles are the source, and so I call subatomic particles God.

When atheists say that God doesn't exist, they appeal to the holy book connotation of the God idea. How come you don't know this? You cannot dismiss something without first knowing what you're dismissing. God means one idea in popular culture, bearded man in the sky, talks through prophets, bla bla bla.

You don't even know the identity of your own amorphous God, and yet you accuse atheists of denying it. How can atheists deny something that has no identification or is amorphous?

So your question is unsound. God can mean anything when the speaker is not an adherent of organized religions. In other words, I don't know what you call God so I cannot deny or affirm it's existence. We only know one type of talking god.

seggzz:
Atheist do fear waiting and so they conclude there is no god without proofs.

Listen bro, there are people who claim that the unknown causer spoke to bronze age humans and gave them books. What is there to wait on?

Those bold faced liars have already played their hand.

People like you need to understand the argument so that you can save time in the future.

Militant atheism is your opponent, not atheism in general. Militant atheism uses the knowledge of the truth for ulterior purposes. Atheists simply know the truth or can rationalize it (like you).
By the way, I consider myself a militant atheist. My goal is to expose the truth and undermine those Nigerian institutions that profit from telling lies. I already know the truth, and could simply mind my own business. After all, there's no monetary reward for exposing the truth in a population who all believe that a nudist emperor is wearing Versace suits. You don't know who really believes it and who doesn't. But it's certainly worth a try.

Defining God is easy. Just call yourself Christian or Muslim and you will have defined your god.

Take your painting analogy. We behold a portrait and correctly assume that it was painted. First, only humans or animals can paint. So we already come with a preconceived notion that a human or animal painted all paintings on earth. However, when it comes to the universe, we have NEVER witnessed one being made before. Humans no fit create am, neither can a monkey or chicken.

All we can say is that it looks complex and detailed oriented therefore a universe maker did it. Deists choose to stop there and are content with that knowledge.
.Christians and Muslims don't stop there. They claim that some thousands of years ago, the universe maker spoke to someone and confirmed its identity. It then gave them instructions. Some Christians hilariously believe that the thing speaks today, defeating the whole point of writing the bible. If your god speaks today, then why did it transcribe the bible? Is there a plan to add something else?

Mr Stein does not represent God. Why would God be a human and an atheist?

Wait, I thought that the robot was the atheist speaking with his creator Mr. Stein? I'll get it. Eventually.

KingEbukasBlog:
He is simply pharisaical .

What does that mean? He has confirmed the existence of Yahweh, and yet decides to p8ss in his face anyway, even though the punishment is eternal roasting. There are two possibilities. One, he is an atheist pretending to be a Christian, for good reasons too. Two, he is so gangter and thuggish that even guarantee roasting is not a deterrence for him.

Were the pharisees atheists?

Listen, this thing is not rocket science. A human cannot confirm that an all powerful being exists, and still disobey the being knowing that the punishment is 2 deaths, the second by roasting. No human likes to roast.

Pylony:
Like seriously? What do you call a situation where by the same pastor preach's against Polygamy and is the one in fore front tasting one church member or the other?
A Hypocrate i guess

He's an atheist. Like anyone who commits any sin.

Logicbwoy:
An atheist constructs a robot that can think logically. The atheist then chooses to have a philosophical conversation with the robot;


Mr Stein; I suppose robots are atheists since they are logical beings.

Robot; Well, you created me, and so, it is possible a creator created you.

Mr Stein; That is faulty because I am not like you. I am biological and you are not. You can be built again, while I cannot, for I was born organically and will live only once.

Robot; You cannot prove that you cannot be built. We are both made of of chemicals and atoms are we not? Just as you can create me from steel, there could be a greater creator that can create from flesh.

Mr Stein; But there is no evidence for such a creator that can create human beings.

Robot; But what if you created me and left me alone before I became conscious? What if you dumped me on an empty planet before I became conscious? I would be arguing that I have no creator, just like you are doing.

Mr. Stein; Interesting. But when you study yourself, you would find that you are not organic. That you have been created.....

Robot; What if I told you that I feel organic? That I feel natural? After all, steel is from the earth, is it not? what if one day, man can learn to merge steel and flesh? After all, there is a movie call transformers that shows that man has already dreamt this dream

Mr Stein; Dreams, eh? But isn't that what God is? Dreams and fantasy. Things that one can never prove.......

So Mr Stein represents the religious God? And he's asking questions, even taking the time to go back and forth?

See hospital looking like breeding ground for germs. I can understand their frustration.

opeaceo:
Sir Were has answered your question, move on with the discuss or exit the thread.

Hydrogen and oxygen ko, methane and fluoride ni.

See this one. Who answered whose question? Jeez. Annoyed aren't we?

opeaceo:
Did the OP ask about properties of water or the origin?? Haaaa, or does properties equal to origin? And when did Wikipedia become a reliable source of info??

FYI, as at the last time I checked, the origin of water is not known.

The origin of water is unknown? Shouldn't you be more concerned with the origins of hydrogen and oxygen?

salauwale:
My interest then might have been about water origin but here, it's about how people approach problems. Rather than seek knowledge like you said, God created water just seem a little lazy ain't it? Without critical thoughts, how do we learn these things? And that's my point.

There's nothing wrong with God did it, except that it cannot be proven and attempts to date have proved futile. The truth doesn't have to make sense. But it must be proved true. If your story sounds bizarrely unlikely and you lack evidence at the same time, I call you a scam artist.

Touchnot01:
Exactly!!!

Atheists tell us what they think religion cant do, but will never tell us what atheism can do cos its will either be false or sound stupid.

lmao

Are you a man or a woman? What does the knowledge of your sex do for you? Atheism is the truth. The truth, they say, has no agenda.

For example, you probably don't believe that pigs can fly. I only say probably because going by your present belief system, I wouldn't be surprised to hear you affirm a belief in flying pigs. Believing that pigs don't fly is neither useful nor deleterious.

Anas09:
Yeap, a true Muslim indeed, even when u make no sense, you still pad youraelf in the back and say "I have dismantled and crushed all your lame claims" Doesnt it occure to you that an observer shd be the one to give you that credit?

I watch Zakir Naik and i see the same trend. Muslims giving themselves credit for their senselessness.

I feel the same way about the meme addicted Christians here in this section. They say rubbish and congratulate themselves for it. I'm glad that you appreciate the need for an objective verification process.

opeaceo:
Choooiii,and you sounded too sure. You mean the waters that make up the sea and oceans are from 2 gases or the interaction of 2 gases?? Issokay...

Everything you need to know about water can be found here.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

You are not the first person to consider that question. Seek knowledge. Most chemistry and biology textbooks devote entire chapters to the peculiar properties of water.

johnydon22:
One of the reasons i find it difficult to induldge in such childish shows that is going on on this board lately.

everyone just left the subject of the thread and induldged in some nonsensical infantile trolling war of meaningless memes.

Memes everywhere. It's the latest form of expression, apparently writing words is too exhaustive an exercise.
