Wilgrea7: thanks for d question... I've stated earlier somewhere (maybe not in this thread) that depending on d definition of a Christian, i might not be one.. i am still a sinner... i still disobey some of the teachings of Christ though I'm trying to overcome. but i know I'm not perfect.. and I'm definitely not like Christ.. i really hope i get there someday.. but for now I'm still climbing the ladder. so if i were to drink poison, I'd probably die.. does that answer your question?
How can you defend something you yourself don't follow? That's like me, an atheist, creating threads about the benefits of Mormonism and how Joseph Smith was divinely ordained.
Wetin take concern u with dis Jesus? The man described ALL of his followers in advance, so that we wouldn't have any difficulty identifying them in the future.
winner01: I ddnt increase it to 10%. I said "less than 10%".
But is 2% not less than 10% I am not understanding
7 is also smaller than 10, as are 8 and 4. I'm surprised that you don't follow. If you wanted to imply your usual 2%, you should have said less than 5% or less than 3%.
By you saying less than 10%, you leave open the room that atheists could represent about 9% of the global population. That's why he called you generous. Usually you say 2%.
I'm rather pedantic by nature, so be careful, we could be here all day.
Wilgrea7: nah.. i apply logic to the things i do... if he is looking for answers i can help him with a few.. i don't know it all and i might also be wrong but i answer to the best of my knowledge... mind u if u think I'm wrong, then bring forth your points and I'll bring forth mine... logic is the main thing in an argument..
Jesus said that his true followers will pick up venomous snakes with their bare hands and drink poison without being harmed. Mark 16:17-18.
How can an adult like yourself still claim that you follow Jesus as if you cannot read English?
mecussey: its still didnt make sense to me....a free thinker would say "whether you believe there is God or there is no God, you are right. However, let us make the world a better place" unlike atheists who claim all knowing...religious folks are deluded, brain washed..bla bla bla. The bible said this did that, Quaran did this and that.
How come all of you Christians bear the fruits of your fictional Satan character? You tell lies as if you're only drinking water.
Atheists claim to be all knowing? Is that why we carry an ALL KNOWING GOD BOOK around? Think before you speak. I don't know how the universe started and I'm proud to state it. On the other hand, you possess that information in your all knowing book, along with other impossible to know information like what happens after people die.
The person claiming that they don't know is all knowing to you, meanwhile you who carry around the word of the so-called omniscient one is the humble and open minded person. It's the most brazen kind of arrogance disguised as humility.
Your problem is a simple one. It's hard for you to understand how people who claim not to know anything, can categorically call your religion false. According to your brain, a person who is ignorant about a thing, must be willing to accept any substitute. I will give you an example. Do you know what Obama ate for lunch yesterday? You don't know. Would you be willing to accept that he ate his oldest daughter for lunch ? Remember, you don't know and have no means of acquiring that information. If you don't believe that Obama murdered his child, and then ate her for lunch yesterday, does it mean that you are claiming to know everything?
I don't care. Can you explain how humans can discern the SEX of unborn children with the naked eye? Should be a trivial and commonplace feat, according to you.
MrMystrO: Yes, i Agree with you that there is a deity leading me and directing me to the presence of the EVER PRESENT creator, And you know what that deity is?? TRUTH!!!
TheSixthSense: Your are in an illusion of deception but you don't even know it. Your New Age beliefs check the roots, the history and see if you can practice the pure form. There is a deity behind what you think is leading you to God.
faorex: I thought i am the only one this is happeninig to.i might have to quit nairaland because of it's making me an atheist small small.but something in me keeps telling me that Allah still exist.and i dont want to be lost finally .Robisidin Illimi..Allahu Allam.
Which Allah? The one from the Quran is an obvious fabrication that should be apparent to an ADULT like yourself by NOW. A potential creator of YOUR mind would speak to YOU and not Mohammed. By you accepting the foolish teachings of Mohammed, you have already insulted the intelligence of YOUR POTENTIAL CREATOR.
OMAR12: dude cool down no be fight, no one is trying to rubbish the other opinion. now if u go by history of Catholicism most of The new tastement was adulterated, I tend to follow the old tastement more for it is concrete, all those stuff the op said is an eye opener. the mode of prayer stated by himself, I fully agree with him, it the same mood of prayer that the servant of Abraham practiced when he met rebekkah at the well. same goes for Daniel after the king has made his decree and sealed it. Daniel was praying in the same manner. look there are some stuff we can pick from the other religion. the only thing I can pick from the Islamic religion is the mood of prayer.!
So Mohammed read the Old Testament. Big deal. You're acting like the Jewish praying style vindicates the message of Mohammed.
Mohammed KNEW HOW TO read. I know this because he kept insisting everywhere that he couldn't read. It's like he needed people to believe that he was illiterate, otherwise his scam would not succeed. It was the only way he knew how to link himself to a POTENTIAL GOD SOMEWHERE. By lying about being an illiterate, he could then claim that he didnt read the Bible or any other book. The message could have ONLY COME FROM GOD.
As adults we know that humans tell lies, especially humans who are also warlords.
You can either choose to believe that Mohammed was an illiterate who communicated with an angel or that he simply told a lie (probably in collaboration with his family).
So basically what the OP saying is that because Qur’an 29:48 says;
“Neither did you (O Muhammad) read any book before this Qur’an, nor did you write any book with your right hand. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted.”
Then it means that Mohammed was illiterate. Are you really mad or just deceptive? Was it not the same Mohammed talking in that Quran 29:48? Anyone can write about himself in a third person narrative.
If I ask you to provide tenable arguments against God's existence , you'll only bring those faulting religion . Your arguments will be solely against the existence of a personal God and religion - the deists who also believe in God can bring those arguments too because they reject religion and a personal God .
Am I lying ?
Mister , I dey tell you so . If you have problems with religion and the existence of a personal God , you are not an atheist . Evolution , Big Bang etc are puerile picayune arguments against the existence of the Supreme Being . Is the Supreme Being a personal God , that's another argument entirely .
Please evaluate you life and change your mentality ASAP .
promise10: @jonbellion leave benny hinn, and tackle the op!
Are you this dull? Why can't you just tackle the op?
If your point is that it was staged, then provide a video proof that shows them staging it?!
If you don't have any, then how do you know they staged it??
Please, tackle the op, and don't derail the thread. Otherwise, I may report you. It is better to keep mute than to derail this thread, by inventing your own third party.
Provide links to the medical histories of these people. When you show a video of someone being healed by a pastor, you should always add a link where we can IDENTIFY the person, and find out if his so called disease was real or fake.
Winner01 provided a doctor and a back story for the girl who fell into a tree.
kolaish: May the Almighty God have mercy on you. Even if you do not respect God, that name you called HIM is too embarrassing. Please repent before God's anger visits you.
Who are you talking to? What are you talking about? Take your meds please.
Which abomination?!!! Do you eat cow meat?!!! Don't you know that you have committed the highest abomination in Hinduism, by eating pomo?!!! But if you do not recognize or respect the wishes of the horrendous hindu gods, then neither shall we respect or recognize the wishes of "Jehovagina"!!!
Do Hindus have hellfire too. The rate at which I eat beef, I'm headed for Hindu hell.
fatenzy: All of you haters trying to criticize the Islamic Religion, do you think your religion is better? If your religion is better, please answer this three questions correctly. 1. How may times is Mary the mother of Jesus mentioned in the Bible? 2. The Bible says nobody should worship anything imagery, why do Catholics do so? 3. Why are some churches celebrating Christmas and some doesn't? As for me, I love my religion, nobody on this planet Earth will make me quit my religion. Since you were born, have you ever see a Muslim worship anything imagery? Have you ever heard somewhere that a Muslim doesn't celebrate Salah? Salam, waiting for your reply. Thanks
So your religion is correct because you don't worship imagery and the Christians do? Hahahaha.
MrPRevailer: Some scientists in the year 1980s where excavating very deep in the ground and reached a depth where they began to hear deafening and hellish cries of millions of people.
When it was published on Newpapers. it was apprehended. They must have been ruthlessly cautioned by the US government who was doing all it can to fight against religion especially christianity spread, prevent the truth and promote Evolution theory.
So hell is really on earth, I mean, within the rock called earth? Zillions of planets in the universe and your god chooses to conduct all of his business here?
