slogozer: First of all prove to us that an afterlife exists? or you are only planning what you are not even sure of? The bible in the hand of a man is sometimes more than a bottle of whiskey in the hand of another.. That you see them who have not learnt to live this life or finished the one they have clamoring and hoping to get another one when they die 3 Likes |

slogozer: That's the reason we take care of them. We feed our little kids, we cloth them, we send them to the best school we can afford and above all we protect them as much as we can. But for your Sky Father, he hide himself in the sky waiting for u to pass thru 40 days dry fasting, blame u when things go wrong and expect u to praise him when luck shines on u. I am more compassionate, more considerate and more loving than ur sky father 5 Likes |

davien: I am so happy we can discuss this far. There is something in my own heart and I'm not talking about church or religion. It is PEACE. I don't have all the fine things or good things but joy. I have tried to be rational like every enlightened intellectual but palpable fear it was. I have tried different assemblies and gatherings but my brother they seem all the same. But you know the day I eventually had a taste of being a Born Again Christian, it was not even inside a church. It was at the backyard of my teenage home when I was acosted by one man. I was challenged that evening that church activity and involvement does not guarantee eternal salvation except one repents. The man left but his words stayed. On my own there and then, I whipsered the words, "Jesus, if you trully exist, come into my heart". Till date I look back and I can tell without a shadow of doubt, that it was not about following popular path. 1998 is what I am talking about, that joy is still there and I have passed it to others and it is still the same experience- As many as received Him, He gave power to become the sons of God even to them that believe on His name. John 1:12 Dear, not church or religion but a personal encounter. I experienced HIM and that is what really matters. not in the head but in the heart. shalom |

ILIDEFI:Okay... Don't you think "believe" is not the word to be used? I mean every theist has a different "god-belief",and so to a muslim you don't believe in "god"... Moreso to establish that something is "believed" means it has to be an option or logical conclusion. Take for example,I believe there are no cats in my house... You'd realise that one must know what a "cat" is before making such a statement... And when it comes to "god/gods",it's about convincing people that a "god/gods" is/are an option... Atheists are skeptical of this option,so we aren't convinced of it....making it non-existent. It's like I approach you that you have a fjorkulat behind you, you ask me what it is.....but I give you a comprehension that defies your ability to ever really know if it's there... I tell you it's a spherical-cubic(this is physically impossible) invisible dragon that lures around good people and heats up the place when anyone bad approaches you... Now how can you disprove such a thing or even fathom it's there?...can you see it,no....can you detect it,no....so what's the difference between it not being there to begin with. Hence you'd tell me, you're not convinced.
That is the point,a mis-usage of those words would imply faith....I accept the theory of gravity can be switched to I believe the theory of gravity....making lay people think it's a contrast of faith. Please and please...go and look up observed accretion events.. We've observed planet formation dozens of times....perhaps you need to read through the observations... http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=observed+planet+formation+events&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ei=5qAKVb2jLMusUYOmgpgI&ved=0CBkQgQMwAA
You've exposed yourself already....you've already established that if I provide you with the evidence of the contrary you'd merely say... "god did it"....which of course would be fine to you but it provides problems to your belief....in that the universe is not fully formed yet....but the bible claims it's already been... If new things are still being formed this instant then doesn't it contradict your doctrine of everything being magically created fully formed? Yes....work is useful energy. I guess they don't teach physics like they used to... If I may ask,how do you consider element formation from fusion and fission of electrons.... http://www.alternativephysics.org/book/MatterEnergy.htm Under the right conditions, energy can become mass, and vice versa. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/legacy-of-e-equals-mc2.html You're going against einsteins equation of matter-energy conversion e=mc2... The extent of conversion between matter and energy is governed by the famous relativistic energy equation E=mc2. Essentially this equation tells us that the total amount of energy available in a given amount of mass (if the mass could be fully converted to energy) is determined by multiplying mass by the speed of light squared. http://www.alternativephysics.org/book/MatterEnergy.htm I believe I've presented how "flawed" it is.. You've shown everyone here how "knowledgeable" you are of science and how that "knowledge" affects your belief. Nobody said you have answers....and It doesn't really affect your "counter rebuttal" if you're a christian or not. 2 Likes |

ooman:Your signature makes me remember this lamentation of Job ---> Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power? Job 21:7 This post makes me remember this Saying of Jesus, the Son of the most High--> They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. Luke 7:32 |

wordcat: And that is why He takes care of us too. My dear, you take care of your children if the above is anything to go by and not all other persons children. You have an obligation to YOUR children. What of when one of them go nasty, naughty and denying or disrespectful? If young and not understanding you will keep trying to explain and show all the love and care. If he is mature and insist you should let him be. Fatherly love will prevail but every parent knows there is a point to draw the line. And that is God for you. You think you are more compassionate and considerate. Fathers however equip their children and by every means prepare them for the time they will have to stand on their own. Or are you telling me you follow your children everywhere 24 x 7? So how do they become sound and built up to become capable in life? Okay, you see now. Examinations, parimary school, secondary and then tertiary aside the home training and then finally they are mature to be on their own with only occasionally counsel. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us A provision for our salvation was made for all before we ever knew like you got a job and source of livelihood even before knowing it was a baby boy or girl or twins that you will have. |

johnydon22: The proof of afterlife is that maize in your hand. There can be no new life until the old grain gets into the soil, dies and from it spring up a seedling...we call it transition. 1 Corinthians 15 35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. I pray the Lord interpret it to you |
