CeoMYN: CeoMYN: damogul: 8:01pm On Nov 22 Ok so you are most likely in Rivers State. Like i said, what tangible help could be given to you via a faceless online forum? If indeed you are in Rivers State then its easy to help lift this burden off you. Buts its up to you though. I definitely wouldnt want to force myself or my helping hand on you. Do you know why i said if you were in Rivers state then its easy to help you? Its because my inlaws are there and same way i have linked some Nairalanders who are from PH to them is same way i wanted to link you to them. You thought i was all about Jesus |

rejosom: That is not what that verse means . It means that life without God has no purpose or meaning . Because if you look at subsequent verses the preacher attempted finding meaning to life through discovery , wisdom , alcohol , different philosophies , architecture , luxurious life , personal pleasure , unbridled lusts , riches and glory etc . Then he now came to Ecclesiastes 12:13 and said “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” It just epitomizes the true meaning of life as a human . Without God life is meaningless - your toil , suffering , riches , discoveries , they do not make any sense if you perish after God's judgement . And this is from the wisest man known in History - Solomon had written over 3000 Proverbs . 1 Like 1 Share |

CeoMYN: And you still feel i was offering Jesus without trying to find out first? Theism is not all about Jesus you know.We live, we assist, we connect people to productivity, we counsel outside Christ as well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by rejosom(m): 3:13pm On Dec 16, 2016 |
KingEbukasBlog: Thanks so much Mr. Ebuka. So, it means that one who lives without God has a purposeless life but one who lives with God a purposeful life. And this purpose according to you is simply to "Fear God and Keep His commandments" What a purpose! A man with God who has a purpose therefore should neither work nor labour for all he needs will be provided to him by God through the sweat of those who live without God Ecc2:17-25-26 ...Then everything is meaningless. So what are we saying? |

jonbellion: Theists can do without atheists . Atheists need theists for relevance . If everyone stops paying attention to atheists , they'd just die out . But theists can still commune among themselves without care of what atheists think . Haven't you noticed that all what atheists here do is criticize criticize criticize , attacking God and people who believe in God ? Is there any relevance they have 1 Like 1 Share |

KingEbukasBlog: Sir Read this passage and give it this your conclusion above. 17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. 19 And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. 20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. 21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? 23 All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless. 24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. This too is meanigless... what does this too here refer to? |

Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by KingEbukasBlog(m): 3:29pm On Dec 16, 2016 |
rejosom: I explained the conclusion of the whole matter according to the Preacher . I'm not sure why you want me to explain every single verse . The simple explanation is : There is no meaning in life without God . |
