Religion / Re: Introducing Implicit Theism : So You Think We Were Born As Atheists ? by Aquiprsy: 7:52pm On Apr 30, 2017 |
felixomor: In case this response, is in support of theistic and scientific angles of the OP, i will say that it's a mockery of both. The uncoordinated link you grace your post with, speaks of the use, to which the human belief system is put variously. No reference or inference in the article, that suggests innate-specific-belief in humans. It only speak of human as a complex belief being, as it concerns finding meaning for events or phenomenon. As it concerns believe in God, the use of the word "alien", in reference to atheists, doesn't connote a defect in the belief system of the atheists, but the rare possibility of having ones (atheists) belief in God, reorganized to reject that belief. I'm of the opinion that most theists, are having difficulty in understanding the conclusions of scientific works, or making erroneous inference or all together, confusing pseudoscientific and mainstream scientific works. Scientifically, atheists are conscious of the choice of their disposition towards believe in God. if the contrary were the case, then a case of innate mental variant will be established. 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog: As a Christian, i simply accept the existence of God, on faith as prescribed in the bible. Beyond this faith walk with God, i can't prove anything about God. An attempt to do this, is an attempt to ridicule and mock the spiritual things. By faith (not by logic or science), we UNDERSTAND that God, via his word created....... Now, as a scientist, we know and understand, that the origin of gods and religions, are strongly connected with the perplexity and ignorance of the early men. This is obvious from the myths and superstitions, that characterize these gods and religious practices. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

menxer: KingEbukasBlog: No humans knows anything, except he first learn it (be it consciously or subconsciously). Because, it's experimentally unethical, to make human grow in the lab, from fertilized stage to adulthood, we can't use human model, to demonstrate that NO human INNATELY have belief in God. But lower animal model, has helped in establishing the fact, that no innate - belief - specific, exist in human mind. An indirect way of establishing this, is to consider how human grow up to believe and strongly believe that their own variant of God, is the true God. This is a product of mental conditioning via the environment or knowledge. A Christian believes the Christian God, because such Christian grew up, in dominant Christian environments or knowledge. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

I'm a Christian and a scientist, with specialist interest in biopsychology. My interest in this your post stems from my ability to be a Christian and scientist. Despite the parallel premise from which both operate. The scientific work you referred, may have suggested inference that you don't understand. Because, what is generally known and accepted in Behavioural Neuroscience, is that human is functionally a belief being. Without conscious or subconscious acceptance of our our lives and environment as real, existence is impossible. So, human beings are capable of believing anything, as long as they are able to come up with evidence (real or imaginary), to support such beliefs. Now, as a Christian, I believe that God created human beings this way. Exercising that belief capacity, is a volitional one. At the age of reason, human beings decides on what or who they want to believe. The defective reasoning in this thread, is obviated by one fact, which is; if human is programmed by God to believe him (theism) innately, why would a child brought up in an environment devoid of God mention, not automatically start believing in God? But researchers have established this (that humans are not innately programed, to align with a particular belief) in various mental conditioning experiments. 18 Likes 7 Shares |
Religion / Beware Of Demonologists: Protect That Child. by Aquiprsy: 10:01pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
analice107: St. Matthew 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. St. Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. The above Bible verses are the clear and compassionate disposition of our Lord Jesus, towards little children. There are many charlatans in the garb of minister of the gospel, who now claimed to have received a "specialist ministry", and called same deliverance ministry. These agents make mockery of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, by bandying theological training in "demonology". These ungodly agents, are quick to claim the presence of demon in any thing (animals, trees, children, aged etc ). It's this strange "specialist demonology ministry", that morph into the heinous and savagery acts, of victimizing innocent children and aged as witches. This is no Christianity. The teachings of Jesus, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, can't possibly be associated with this wickedness. Peace! |

nmreports: The case in reference for folks, who now see every uncommon behavior of animals, as demonic manifestation, is demons electing to take abode in swine. According to the Bible, the demons spoke through the lunatic. A practical case there. Most of what obtains now, are Christians, who are intoxicated and obsessed with superstitious scenes, from Africa magic yoruba and some charlatans' gist, who now parade themselves as having received calling into the ministry of "demonology". It's pathetic, seeing what these weird folks have now present as Christ given ministry. |

Religion / Re: All Nairaland Pastors Lets Go And Heal The Sick In Hospitals by Aquiprsy: 7:59pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
zionmade1:You're just making a mockery of the name of christ. The challenge of the atheists here, is that the healing power of God, be put to test, under controlled environment. In the likeness of prophet Elijah and prophets of Baal. If you will put the affront of the atheists to rest, meeting them on their terms, will do the boasting in the Lord. On the challenge of the OP, some of us have come to take our beliefs in God, to be very personal and prioritize what we stick our neck out for. Those who believe in the spectacular works can call the OP' bluff. |
Religion / Re: Why Do Married Women Bear Their Husbands Name? by Aquiprsy: 3:47pm On Mar 20, 2017 |

Religion / Re: A Case For Agnosticism by Aquiprsy: 11:25am On Mar 20, 2017 |
The position of the Christian, can be understood in the light of being a BELIEVER in the existence of God. It's by FAITH that we came to this conclusion. The Christian who understands this, doesn't engage in the idiocy of proving anything, as far as the substantial evidence of the existence of God is concerned. |

MuttleyLaff post=:Jesus, Paul and Peter never asked these folks to bring these materials for "impartation", they chose to do that out of their volition. And after their testimonies, these events were never made into doctrine, as it obtains today. MuttleyLaff post=: Did you read this part below?

Religion / Re: Is There Any Difference Between Holy Spirit And Self Control? by Aquiprsy: 9:30am On Mar 19, 2017 |
akintom:What an interesting logic here. Well, this reasoning is coming from a mind that's not cultured in spiritual things. Yes, there's difference between self control and Holy Spirit. Self control is an innate behavioral moderating mechanism. It's natural to every normal human beings. Although it's relative. Holy Spirit is the influencing power, that created a new nature (spiritual) in the Christians. The holy spirit helps the believers to adjust gradually to the culture of the Kingdom of God. |
Religion / Between Olive Oil And Holy Spirit by Aquiprsy: 8:18am On Mar 19, 2017 |
The Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. The above verse is the very word of Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior. From basic teaching of the word of God, it has been established that, the very new life in Christ and the kingdom works of a believer, is impossible without the power of the Holy Spirit. Looking at this doctrine of, "holy Spirit power in medium" ie the use of physical insignia as a medium of impacting the power of the Holy Spirit, i am of the opinion that this doctrine is one of many doctrines, that's blending Christianity with other religions in a rather ridiculous way. The insignia: *handkerchief (mantle) *arm band (bearing GO's picture) *chaplet (bearing GO's picture) *olive oil How is the apparent look and the use of these insignia different from the..... *chaplet of herbalist and Muslims? *arm and waist bands of herbalists? If Jesus could heal the sick boy without physical contact, but by the power of the Holy Spirit via words, why can't we be satisfied with this model? Happy Sunday! |
Religion / Re: Seperate Yourself From Religious Bondage Today. The Right Way! by Aquiprsy: 11:23pm On Mar 18, 2017 |
It's not a matter of bondage to the religious practices, it's a matter of pride that creeped into the lives of most Christian leaders. In an attempt to prove that the revelation given to them is correct (when they are confronted with their errors), they delve into works of flesh (like symbolism). With testimonials from their followers, they they become hard minded. When folks begin to say that they are not Christians, just because it was heathen that described believers as such. This type of personal opinion being pushed around, are some the causes of much Labour in futility in the church today. |

Junia: All that you have said is mere repetition that says nothing contrary to what James said. Your assertion that Christianity is not a religion scripturally, is unfounded. It's this unnecessary complication of definitions (using dead semantics), that makes the simplicity of the gospel, odious to ordinary seeker of the truth. |

Junia: What says you on the verses below? James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. James 1:27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. |

newbornmacho:Going by the nature and character of the Holy Spirit, he moves men to act, as against men moving the spirit to act. I think in the period of waiting for divine direction, men who now on the basis of experience (just as Paul once gave instructions in his capacity as a leader), gave direction. When you say church, do you have sth against that? |

Junia:The beginning of foolishness of the children of the kingdom, is despising the wisdom of God, for lifeless intellectual arguments. Google wasn't written by the inspiration of God. Those lead by the spirit, take reference from the book of life,. |

KingGBsky:The bible says that the wisdom comes from above, and this wisdom is supposed to be superior to that which the heathens have. The way of life of them, that believes and live according to the commandments of Jesus Christ, is described as religion. This doesn't make the relationship untrue. It's just a definition. |
