I Know He Said California Will Sink One Of This Days Which Must Surely Come To Pass Because God's Word Always Comes To Pass... But Did He Mentioned Anything Like Before Billy Paul Gets Old?

Yes.

"Billy, I may not be here but you won't be an old man until sharks will swim right where we are standing"

Likewise, people turn out in large numbers to watch a WWE wrestling match even though the outcome has already been predetermined

I know adults who purchase the PPVs for $64 when they come on. Meanwhile, the actors choreograph all of their moves.

promise10:
How does this defend my faith?? This guy you seem super-deluded. How can one think that it is aimed at defending my faith? What exactly do I have to defend? God's reality? Miracles? What exactly? Defend it against who?? Bro just wake up!


Why not continue in your delusion of the seeing and hearing TV. Good for you.

I didn't bring up this TV business. Follow the thread. Your Christian brother compared atheists to a TV that sees and hears and argues with its owner.

promise10:
What a wonderful delusion to see someone whose TV can see and hear. Wow! Hallelujah!

I said the same thing. Christians bring up foolishness to defend their faith.

sekundosekundo:
Atheists are the most brainwashed people on earth but they claim to be wise and educated. Can you imagine the TV set you bought and kept in your house telling you that 'you're not the one that brought me into this house, i just see myself here'.

You're wrong. The owner of the TV is NOT invisible. The TV can see and hear the potential buyer.

One TV tells another that they arrived in an invisible spacecraft is more like the scenario you're trying to describe.

Jadonjack:
Let my TV tell me that, then i ll show him the receipt i bought it with, if possible, i ll take it to whr i bought it for confirmation dat i bought it with my money

At least the TV has SEEN and HEARD the supposed buyer/creator.

Boleyndynasty2:
that is a forgotten story

There's really something about this man, see crowd yet his despised by his own people.

If a member of your family is a kleptomaniac, would you welcome him into your house? Only people who don't know him will.

promise10:
This still doesn't prevent the great manifestation of MIRACLES people are thirsty to receive. There is nothing one can do against it.

The only way effective way you can fight against christian God is to try and deceive people that there is no miracle and as well try to stop miracles from happening on crusade grounds. Because even if you deceive them, and then see exactly the opposite of your deceit, it simply wouldn't work.

Read about Ayahuasca, or its active ingredient called DMT. It can go either way, either the person becomes introspective and introverted or they use their new found revelation for money making purposes in the outside world.

I have noticed that in general westerners are misinformed about the different types of Amazonian shamans. This is especially true in regards to ayahuasca shamans. It is unfortunate that this is the case because westerners who come to Peru to drink ayahuasca often do so with some expectations that may not be met if they drink with the wrong type of shaman. In fact, in some situations, drinking with the wrong shaman can be dangerous.

4everGod:
I suppose Ayahuasca is also in Nigeria. Its not everything you are actually meant to comment on just so you can click the submit button and look plus sound silly.

There is no Ayahuasca outside of South America. The knowledge is passed down from a South American shaman to his children (Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia). It's possible to bring a shaman to the US to administer the rituals, but he'll probably refuse. Ayahuasca is NOT recreational and it is non addictive. It puts you into contact with therianthropes, and then the winged serpent herself.

Shamans or medicine men take ayahuasca to communicate with nature or to see what is causing a patient’s illness on a spiritual level. In Brazil several religions can be found that pivot around gatherings where ayahuasca is taken by all participants. Drinking ayahuasca and singing together takes them into a healing and inspiring kind of trance

For snatching a bag


What of the Feds

Which Feds?

Psychedelic drugs are legal in Peru. In Peru, the potion known as Ayahuasca is a revered therapeutic medicine, not the most powerful entheogen known to man.

He goes to South America so that he can communicate with flying serpents under the influence of Ayahuasca.

I don't believe that there are atheists in foxholes. Foxholes are populated by deists.

According to Branham, Los Angeles was supposed to be buried under the sea before Billy Paul his son became an old man. He said that if the prophecy went unfulfilled, that we should call him and his ministry fake.

Billy Paul was born in 1935. How do you reconcile that knowledge with his entire ministry given the number of times that he repeated this earthquake business?

DoctorAlien:
Bro look at it this way: I tell you I have jealousy in my heart. Can you disprove it? Or can you ask me for a proof that I have jealousy in my heart?

Yet, look sincerely all around you: everything testifies to the existence and benevolence of GOD.

Jealousy is a human emotion. And I'm pretty sure that it doesn't reside in your heart but your brain. You only feel your heart because it beats FASTER when you're jealous.

Demigods666:
The way is Satanism.

Satan is the antagonist in the Bible. Your own problem is worse than the Jesus people. They follow the mythical hero, you follow his nemesis.

Millerz:
That's why I prefer old generation churches. They preach salvation, holiness and righteousness.

Joel Osteen, David Ibiyome, Pastor Chris, T.D Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Joseph Prince etc are all motivational speakers.

Motivational speaking is the tell tale sign of atheists who are beginning to regain their conscience. It's sad to lie to people, especially the old and young, so you tell them general motivational things rather than the falsehood called revelation or prophecy.

nyabinghi:
Why do igbo men look like apes, ojukwu resembled an ape no wonder yoruba men get their women for next to nothing.

The mods should ban you for public madness. Some Igbo boys can sleep with your mother, if they choose to one day become intimate with she swine.

The Recession is a good thing for people who follow Christ. Jesus used a metaphor to say that rich people can NEVER enter heaven. Just like a baby camel can never enter the eye of a needle. Or can it?

promise10:
What about conscience?

Do you have conscience? Is conscience visible? Why believe in the invisible conscience? Is that NOT FAITH? This is why atheism is rot with dishonesty!

Would you judge the reality of conscience on the basis of the rights and wrongs people do?

When you see people who are SO WICKED BEYOND your imagination. Would you conclude that there is nothing like conscience.

Dishonesty the foundation of atheism!

The bible has ALREADY provided recipes for making contact with its god. It contains numerous examples of how it's resident god was revealed to atheists and unbelievers. The apostles didn't ask atheists if they could see the wind, or smell their conscience.

You're only bringing up this conscience business because you have tried to replicate the way they proved god in the Bible. And failed. Just like everyone.
Read your bible. It should be easy to produce a manifestation of your claims. Everyone in the Bible did it somehow.
In fact, we have Nairalanders who have revived multiple dead Nigerians in the name of the Bible god. Talk to those people and see they can extend the power of the Bible god to a public audience.

MadCow1:
Except me..

Trust me on this.. I am verified by Jesus himself.

So you present an invisible witness to corroborate your story?

plappville:
Only the bible has the definition of a true Christian. Anyone can claim to be. But if you do not match up with the biblical definition. You are only deceiving yourself.

Bible can be interpreted anyhow. The translation issue is glaring.

Haha haha.

Call police. Soliciting help on the internet is an insult to a potential creator figure.

READ CAREFULLY BRO

Per Wikipedia:

Abul ʿAla Al-Maʿarri (Arabic أبو العلاء المعري Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī, full name أبو العلاء أحمد بن عبد الله بن سليمان التنوخي المعري Abū al-ʿAlāʾ Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sulaimān al-Tanūẖī al-Maʿarrī; 973–1057)[1] was a blind Arab philosopher, poet, and writer. Al-Maʿarri held and expressed an irreligious worldview which was met with controversy, but in spite of it, he is regarded as one of the greatest classical Arabic poets.


Abu 'Isa al-Warraq, full name Abu 'Isa Muhammad ibn Harun al-Warraq (Arabic: أبو عيسى محمد ابن هارون الوراق‎‎ Abū ʿĪsā Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Warrāq), was a 9th-century Arab skeptic scholar and critic of Islam and religion in general. He was a mentor and friend of scholar Ibn al-Rawandi in whose work The Book of the Emerald he appears.[1]:224 The modern scholar of the Qur'an and critic of Islam, Ibn Warraq, derives his pseudonymous name from al-Warraq.[2]

Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Ishaq al-Rawandi (Persian: ابو الحسن احمد بن یحیی بن اسحاق راوندی‎‎, Arabic: أبو الحسن أحمد بن يحيى بن إسحاق الراوندي‎‎), commonly known as Ibn al-Rawandi (Persian: ابن راوندی‎‎;‎ 827–911 CE[1]), was an early skeptic of Islam and a critic of religion in general. In his early days, he was a Mu'tazilite scholar, but after rejecting the Mu'tazilite doctrine, he adhered to Shia Islam for a brief period before becoming a freethinker who repudiated Islam and revealed religion.[2] Although none of his works have survived, his opinions had been preserved through his critics, Muslim apologists and the surviving books that answered him.

Abū Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Rāzī (Persian: ابوبكر محمّد زکرياى رازى‎, translit. nastaliq‎ Abūbakr-e Mohammad-e Zakariyyā-ye Rāzī, also known by his Latinized name Rhazes or Rasis) (854 CE – 925 CE), was a Persian[3][4] polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, and important figure in the history of medicine.

He was among the first to use humorism to distinguish one contagious disease from another,[citation needed] and wrote a pioneering book about smallpox and measles providing clinical characterization of the diseases.[8] He also discovered numerous compounds and chemicals including Alcohol, kerosene, among others.

Can you sleep better now?

ifenes:
But to make it simple, I will say it's you and I.

It's EVERYTHING. Our ways and reasons for exchanging stimuli with the environment vary, but everything had one elemental source of origin. Especially those things which possess mechanisms for the utility of photons, like animals and plants.

The truth doesn't have to make sense. It only requires PROOF.

First of all, I think that we do not fully understand the meaning of nothing. There is ALWAYS something, undetectable by existing measuring devices. Empty space is not really empty. The sudden appearance of transient particles that disappear could suggest that they are too tiny to measure and NOT that they appeared out of nowhere.

Intelligence is also difficult to quantify as a concept. There is the element of human hubris and bias to consider.

felixomor:
If U think adding "Isis controlled" to qualify Aleppo can cover u up?

Now I can see why you insist on wasting your time. You don't know any better.

Moderations do not affect prior quotes.

Ranchhoddas:
I wonder how people can stand that dude. I find his gimmicks and ''miracles''irritating.

Judging by the comments under the original article, most human beings do. It's hard to believe that a pastor, or anyone, can reverse the natural process of BALDING with one sip of holy water. Especially if the restoration is not instantaneous and is expected to occur LATER.

felixomor:
By the way if some parts of aleppo are so "safe", why are u not there making ur own "achievements" as the Christians are doing , Mr keyboard warrior?

SMH

A final descent into childishness. Great job! You never had anything to say.

Are there Christians in the ISIS controlled regionsv of Aleppo? My question was rhetorical. Stop wasting your own time.

felixomor:
You have been busted already.

Christians are saving lives as we speak there.

And that is one gigantic achievement too many.

As 4 u, Ur only achievement is being an anti-God keyboard warrior on NL.

Get a life

Your god reasons like you. I asked you for Christian achievement in ISIS-controlled Aleppo and you run away claiming that a bust has occurred. Other humans who speak English can read the entire transaction for themselves. Who is busting who? Hahaha. Don't kill me with laff.

I enjoyed the comments. Visit Yahoo and read the interesting comments from people all over the world.

The Millionaire on God’s Payroll

Laura Secorun Palet September 18, 2016


[b]Rows of sick people queue up one afternoon in downtown Lagos. There are people with crutches, mothers with crying babies, a couple of wheelchair-bound people and several with bad coughs. This is not a hospital; it’s a sports center. And they are not waiting to see a doctor; they are here to see a priest.
T.B. Joshua is one of Nigeria’s most controversial clergymen. Besides claiming to have a direct line to God, this 52-year-old has been performing so-called “healing miracles” for 20 years. Call him the Oprah of evangelism, the African case study in the kind of mass preaching that much of America is so famous for; he has his own TV shows, two million Facebook fans, sold-out events and branded merchandise. And like Oprah, he’s rich as hell. The latest estimates put his wealth at about $150 million. His church has branches all over the world, from the U.K. to Australia. He often goes on what he calls “Miracle Crusades” to other nations, and he claims that more than a million people have paid to attend his Tony Robbins–style seminars worldwide.

“I have nothing to say,” says one follower, asked about Joshua’s critics. “The Holy Book teaches us to love even our enemies.”
Joshua is certainly not the only millionaire priest in Nigeria. Over the past 15 years, televangelism has taken over the country, and Pentecostalism — a Christian renewal movement that emphasizes a direct, personal experience of God — is booming across the entire African continent, as well as in Latin America. The first Pentecostal missions arrived in Nigeria in 1910. By 1970, there were an estimated 300,000 converts, and by the turn of the century, 30 to 40 million, according to Ruth Marshall, professor at the University of Toronto’s Departments for the Study of Religion and Political Science and author of Political Spiritualities: The Pentecostal Revolution in Nigeria. According to the World Christian Database, some 12 percent of Africans are Pentecostals.
His pastoral style is sui generis. Joshua, who didn’t respond to OZY’s requests for comment, doesn’t preach that much. Rather, for a few minutes, he screams into the microphone, often prophesying what is to come — wisdom garnered from the latest chat with God. (He claims he foresaw the September 11 terrorist attacks.) Then, he takes his powers away from the mic and toward the sick, praying over the bodies of the afflicted and asking God to release the object of his prayer from cancer, syphilis, whatever disease it may be.




Chimbiebere Stanley Okah, 42, one of Joshua’s followers, tells us that he found the preacher through TV and was convinced when he saw one of Joshua’s “miracles” — healing a man from baldness with a sip of water. “I’ve seen countless miracles,” Okah says. “His preaching is flawless.” As for Joshua’s critics? “I have nothing to say,” Okah tells us. “The Holy Book teaches us to love even our enemies.”
For many followers, wealth enhances their pastor’s credibility and their own faith, rather than sullying them. Indeed, it’s not his money so much as his power that pisses off his preacher peers. The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, the country’s association of leading Pentecostal churches, has denied Joshua membership because, it says, he hasn’t provided proof of ordination. A few years ago, some preachers gathered to warn followers about Joshua, calling him an agent of the devil, arguing his curing powers had a dark source.
Such earthly demands for proof don’t trouble Joshua, who dismisses them as quack talk. Joshua claims his birth was prophesied a century earlier and that he spent 15 months in his mother’s womb before being born into a small Western Nigerian village. There, he attended primary school and worked odd jobs before starting to organize his first Bible groups.

He’s extremely charismatic, says Rene Peters, a Rwandan student whose mother took him to one of Joshua’s events. Joshua, Peters recalls, yelled at a woman who tried to stand up and leave during an event, and made her sit back down. “He exploits the naïveté or desperation of his followers with no accountability,” says Pradip Thomas, a scholar at the University of Queensland and co-editor of the book Global and Local Televangelism. A dozen people died last year when one of his event venues collapsed. Joshua has not been held legally accountable for the incident — yet.
It would be churlish to paint all of Joshua’s followers as naive or wooden-headed. “It’s hard to believe you can run on empty claims for over 20 years,” Marshall says. Those who come to Joshua are, after all, seekers; many have prayed and dreamed for years on end. Like Paul Ighodaro, 37, a Nigerian living in Greece. A composer, singer and writer, Ighodaro tells us about a vision he had: A son of God would appear in Nigeria. Ighodaro himself began to spread this word, which brought him to Emmanuel TV and Joshua. “I know the signature of God when I see one,” he writes. Ighodaro doesn’t even need to go to Joshua’s church, he says — he never has attended. He’s seen himself in Joshua’s congregation in a dream, wearing the choir garment. But don’t think he’s just relying on visions to connect with Joshua. Ighodaro credits the internet most of all.[/b]
