all4naija: Truly, you formulate and procrastinate. You are using your basic human instincts to support your arguments. There is nothing wrong in that but don't expect everybody would agree with you.

shymmex:

The instinct is the supernatural - it's something that can never be explained..

We may agree to disagree, anyway.

all4naija: Hahaha... I was expecting that one. Nice one indeed. I think I like you.

shymmex:

Personally, I had to study about atheism and every other concept out there - when I got fed up with Christianity.. But the things I couldn't deny were my instincts, conscience, and intuition - which were inborn in me.. I considered everything - and I came to conclusion that it's better to follow the God concept - and embrace everything that was inborn in me (African)..

The world is a very complex place!

all4naija: Okay African. I am black and proud. Why I my black? Religion says because blahblahblah...black - just a side point.

@shymmex and all4naija
TOO CUTE......

@shymmex and all4naija
TOO CUTE......

Shollypopz: @all4naija: Jeez! i know! i'm just saying it was cute the way u guys discourse ended! No beef intended!

Logic Mind:

Nope. Already got loads but Naija babes are the most jesus-freak of all.

emöfine2:

Very interesting...do you recall the title of the book?



Is that difficult to fathom?....would it seem so absurd?...although I doubt that was what she was implying.

However on the flip-side some people believe in the existence of “God” because they read a book...the bible. So if indeed queensmith went about it the other way it’s no different to those who discovered their faith through the pages of a book.

P.S. Goldie don’t bite my head off *runs*

Logic Mind:

Why would any sane person want to marry a woman like this?

shymmex:

If you lead your life based on the Bible, then you're definitely condemned to failure - because the Bible contradicts itself from chapter to chapter... To me, the Bible was a poorly written book - just a combination of different ancient scriptures, and allegories - by a group of people looking for something to believe in...

I'd say the Qu'ran is a better written book than the Bible (I've read the two books)..

Goldieluks:
What a shame,i don't expect such statement from you. May God in His infinite mercy forgive you,
for typing these lies.

Am out of this useless thread.

foyeks2001: my bible tells me that '' do not be equally yoked with unbelievers'' meaning d suppose partner can as well influences ur faith in God be it positively or negatively....but always good to be on a safer side....so it is a capital NO for me

Sweetlemon:
You don't get it do you? I ask again, how can you marry someone who does not recognize someone you call your father? Your answer is as good as mine. It all depends how much you love or value your the person you call your father. Shikena!

shymmex:

Queen, how do you mean? God has already forgiven me - and he lives inside of me..

I wasn't trying to rubbish your belief system, I was just stating facts.. Don't get me wrong, I do read the bible - and I love the books of psalms, proverb, and the songs of Solomon (the best books ever written IMO).. But following the Bible from chapter to chapter is a very wrong thing to do..

How can the book of Genesis tell me not to kill - yet most prophets in the Bible killed people?

How can the book of Genesis tell me not to commit adultery - yet Abraham, David etc. committed adultery?

The Songs of Solomon, Psalm, and Proverbs will always be close to my heart - and prophet Isaiah, Elijah, Joseph, David, and Solomon will always be my favourite prophets.

I'm still a redeemer, and my parents are still Deacon and Deaconess in the redeemed church of God - but I'm an African with an African mind.

Shollypopz: Nope, my religion forbids me to.
But if he's very intelligent though, i'll pray that the Holy spirit touches his heart and invite him to all the church services i can think of.

emöfine2:

Is this commandment exclusive to marriage? What about buisness partners etc...

Goldieluks:
I see where you are coming from, but let me make this clear to you that, Christianity is a thing
of the mind, and the Bible is there as a guide to humanity. Sincerely speaking,it contains both good and bad example.
But,thank God for giving mankind the ability to know right from wrong. It is now left for us humans to either
follow what is right, or keep reminding ourselves of the wrong doings of some few people in the bible, forgetting that
we all have our personal cross to carry.

shymmex:

Your conscience and instincts naturally tells what's right, or wrong - it's just left for you to decipher it based on the laws government wherever you like..

God help us all!

shymmex:

And will you believe whatever assertion the scientists put forward as the origin of creation?

Royal-VII:
@Sholly
My thing is more with this notion that Religion is the natural order before non belief...

Which is inaccurate. Non Belief is the Natural Ideology.

Religion is the Adopted one.
