Non has requested for any help from me. How can I help.people that have not requested for any help from me?

None have requested for help from you? Do you see where we differ? I actually did not wait for help to be requested from me before i offered help. Do you see the difference?

Lev 20:13
If a man has sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman, the two of them have committed an abomination. They must be put to death; their blood guilt is on themselves.

The Bible said of Christ, " [b]How Jesus Christ of Nazareth went about doing good and healing those who were oppressed of the devil"

True believers seek out opportunities to do good and do not wait to be asked. As long as you see the opportunity you cease it as that is what it means by doing good. Doing good is not by compulsion or request alone its out of a necessity which is seen

grin grin grin Do you see your dishonesty? First you asked for the names of atheists i helped or offered help here on NL i obliged you. Now you want details of that help? Guy gerrarrahia men

Give me your list of theists you have offered help here on NL before we move on to details!

Some of the help could be so mundane . They might be asking for an address or looking for a location something that I will expect anybody to render such kind of help when asked. If it is something big I believe you would have stated it.

So much Hypocrisy and deceit in one comment. You already know the kind of HELP you meant which was why you asked me for the names of those i have helped on NL who were atheists.

I am not compelled to give you specifics am i? All you asked for were names.

Ok how many theists have you offered directions or addresses to here on NL?

Agreed. Don't make this as some form of competition because both believers and unbelievers alike in any form.of God or religion all offer to help one another both within and outside the group.

Goalpost shifted!

The question is about YOU!

How many theists have you offered help to on NL? In fact how many atheists have you offered to on NL?

If i a theist could offer help to several atheists on NL then surely you must have at least 1 atheist here on NL you have offered help to as a fellow atheist

Dalaman is there none? If there is none whom you being an atheist has offered help to be they theists or atheists then you have no right to criticize my worldview and my beliefs because obviously it is much better than yours as it offers something to friends and non friends alike and is not discriminatory.

You cannot honestly see yourself as better than i am when you have not offered help to anyone here and can only say "nobody has asked you" when i never waited to be asked before i offered help even to those who did not share my beliefs.

You hold no moral ground in this regard.

Thank you. It was nice talking with you.

Show me where it says so from the mouth of Christ or his teachings. Can you pls
Again i ask you, how many homosexuals have you seen being put to death by Christians?

Mainly because murder is a crime but if the death penalty was approved as a punisment for homosexuality would you approve or disapprove


felixomor:


Try again. cool


Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

I have offered non be cause non has ever asked me for help it's that simple. I have never discussed anything personal with anybody here on NL that will require me giving any assistance. That you have helped some here doesn't make you more generous than I am because my family and friends are all theist and I have helped them a lot. They too have also helped me a lot as well. So it's not a competition.

The very notion of omnipotence is contradictory, if I am omnipotent, can I create a stone so heavy that I cannot lift? If yes then my inability to lift the stone rules out my omnipotence. If I have to add more power to lift the stone then I wasn't all powerful.

DeepSight:


Omnipotence does not extend to logical impossibilities.

Thus, omnipotence will refer to the capacity to do anything which is possible in the natural reality existing by default as an emanation of God itself: God itself is the singularity of all logic.

Thus omnipotence will not mean that God can, for example:

1. Create a Square Circle, OR -

2. Create a Stone that is impossible for him to lift and then proceed to lift it.

Martinez19:
If the almighty seeks faith, then he must perform time in time out. If such happens, when someone falls sick the first thing he or she remembers is prayer and God to bring healing --- that is faith. Telling one to believe without seeing is an insult to human intelligence. If we were like that don't you think we would be cheated easily at all times?

Faith is having absolute trust in God .

There are many things you believe without seeing

You have plans for the future right ? But have you seen the future ? With your logic , people should not have plans because they have not seen the future .

I'm sure you talk like you have seen the future - "I'm going to do this by 2" , "I'll do this by 3" , "I'm coming to pick you by four ". "I'll marry Angela at 28 and we will have two kids " . "Don't worry dear , when I get back from the office , I'll take you to dinner"

You are saying all these with certainty but with no proof you are actually going to see the next minute . Because you can die for whatever reason the next minute .

There are so many people who have trusted God and prayed to him in truth and in spirit and He hath no failed them . I have heard so many testimonies of people acting it out before the miracle comes . And it so inspiring .

So many nowadays don't want to worship God in truth and in spirit and they actually expect something from Him and when it fails , they start acting all up and spewing nonsense . Some even claim to be pastors undecided But now they are atheists grin . So much falsehood and lies .

Guy , if you have not experienced what others have experienced just keep quiet and stop pontificating .

Brian Tracy said that he failed so many times in business because he was dilatory in asking other people the secret of their success in business. And then he did and things turned around for him .

Ask people who have witnessed the power of God . "What did you do it" ? "What kind of life do you live "? How do you pray ? How do you fellowship with God ? "What's your relationship with God like ?"

Not all these soporific jeremiads against people's beliefs and faith in God . Because you did something and it did not work for you therefore everybody is lying and deceiving themselves undecided . Mtcheew

Learn to ask questions , learn from people's experiences , ask for guidance , ask for help . There's damogul , there's winner01 , felixomor , richirich713 , scholar8200 , anas09 , image123 , OLAADEGBU , Muafrika2( I learnt so so much from her ) , MrPresident1 , sukkot - you can ask them questions - that's how you grow in life . smiley

don't forget you are also angry
"in fact I didn't know in was angry.Christians say that since I am an atheist therefore I am always angry so I must be. If they say I'm angry I must be angry whether I am angry or not. In fact if the christians say I am angry I don't even have the right to not be angry because they say I am angry"

I strongly believe these guys know the answers to the questions they raise but they keep hoping that people who don't have or know answers to those questions or statements will now get skeptical about their beliefs .

I mean its 2016 and someone had the impetus to bring that up as a logical argument undecided While the rebuttal has been there for ages ? Its embarrassing honestly .

I have heard that nonsense too many times i cannot even count. Its like they all go to the same school and get dropped on their head while there and rationality sucked out.

How can anyone be asking such questions yet claim intelligence. How can one be asking such questions yet claim to be rational and honest with himself and not even to others.

Nna men these guys deserve an award of some sort...something to encourage their rubbish.
