@democrazy

If I may continue with the 2 similar hypothetical questions that I asked previously:


If you were the president of a new city (society), and all was going well.  Everyone lived together in peace and harmony.  You and the city officials put laws in place, along with consequences for breaking the laws, so that peace and harmony would continue.  One example of the new law was if anyone commits murder, the consequence or punishment was death.  Years passed and all was good.  You came to love each on of the people living in your city very much.  Now, one commits murder, what would you do as president?

If you were the king of a new kingdom.  All your subjects lived together, helped one another and lived in peace.  You along with your royal officials put laws in place, along with consequences for breaking the laws, so the peace would continue in your land.  One example of the new law was if anyone commits murder, the consequence or punishment was death.  Many years passed and you were very close to each of your subjects.  You knew their family's very well and grew to love them all so very much.  One day, someone commits murder, what would you do as king? 

 

@mchinwendu, this type of question is for little kids to answer as it’s clear and simple. If you make a law, why not live by it? The reason the people lived in peace is because the law was introduced. To keep the peace stable, the law has to be adhered to.
Please note, I would never make such a vague law as in “Thou shall not kill”. This is a very silly law. WHY? Cos we kill animals and even GOD that is supposed to be the maker of this law encourages people to kill animals for burnt offering. He also encourages people to kill one another as seen in the story of Samuel and KING Saul. Even King David only received his honour from GOD because of the many Philistines he killed. Remember the Christian song...........”Saul killed his thousands, but David Ten thousand”. Yet is King David not the lineage of the birth of GOD’s son?
Personally, my law will be very explicit in that “Thou shall not kill another human for selfish reasons nor for any reason other than self defence.” And “Thou shall not kill any animal, unless for food or in self defence”

So my question to you is this.............As a human, I will love and like anyone or any being that wants humans to progress and live longer.
So let me take you to the scenario in genesis.
****The devil/Satan Vs God
1)   God tells Adam and Eve that if they eat of a specific tree that they will die.
This tree is a tree of knowledge that will grant wisdom of lies and truth to the humans and enable them see and reason the same way GOD does.
Eating the fruit of the tree will not kill the humans but open their eyes and mind to events around them.
God told a lie so that they humans will not know the difference between right and wrong.

2)   The Satan told Even that if they eat the fruit, they will gain knowledge and wisdom.
The Satan was telling the truth as it appears, when they ate the fruit, their eyes opened and they gained in wisdom.
They did not die, meaning GOD did tell the humans a lie. He really did not ewant them to gain in wisdom like himself.

3)   God was angry that the humans ate the fruit.
God actually kicked the humans out of the garden of Eden saying, GENESIS 3:22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." This shows me that apart from GOD not wanting Humans to gain knowledge of right from wrong, he also did not want them to live forever.
Now mchinwendu, what will be your view towards GOD and the Devil in light of my explanation above. You can change and explain it your way then give your view to support your conclusion. Mine is clear, according to the story of Genesis, the devil/satan did more to enlighten Mankind than God. If anything, God, like a bad father, did not want his children to attain wisdom or live forever like him.

@democrazy,

  from my previous post i pasted these comment below..
can you give me an answer to them?
   
There are more than 2.1 billion adherent christians on planet earth making it accountable for one-third of the world's population.now my question is this:
1. if christianity/god is fake and so unreal how is it possible that this religion has more subscribers than any other religion?
1)   This religion was used to enslave and kill 80Million people in America till the remaining survivors agreed to worship the religion and it’s GOD. The total for Africa is 300Million lives lost during a period the rest had to obey and worship same as the Red Indians. Not sure how many lives were lost in Europe and Australia.

2.if the adherents of the christian faith are so delusional and gullible,how then do we pull out over 2.1 billion people worldwide out of this religion?(this is going to be a major challenge against a league of adversaries)which in my opinion,is going to be a mission impossible to achieve.
2)   Generations of people since the 14th century have been forcefully indoctrinated into both Muslim and Christian religion. Failure to address this situation and get people’s minds released from such bondage can only end in religious war. This we see and can visualize right now.

ummm,this is a third question just popped in!
3.since christianity is so fake and imaginary what then do humans need to depend on or believe?..
nothing??
or logic??
am fully aware of the flaws and conflicting descrepancies surrounding the bible and christian religion.but the proving of the entire entity called "christianity" as 100% fake,is still what am up against....

3)   Humans need to depend on themselves and belief in self. If I do you wrong, you will fight me or get your supporters to punish me of my wrong. Spiritually, humans are also guided and protected by Karma, which just simply states that you will suffer for your bad deeds and enjoy your good deeds. This way, all humans will be responsible directly for their behaviour. Not a situation we are in right now that a human feels only an Invisible GOD/Jesus should be feared. If a Christian does wrong to someone, they only need to pray to Jesus and will be forgiven. This means all Christians feel a little comfort within their inner self that they can kill other or lie to others as long as they give their lives to Jesus before they die. This doctrine by Religions makes the world a very unpleasant place to live in. Coupled with the fact that religious people expect that an alien or Jesus will come to eat soon and destroy it by killing all the non-believers. So in truth, these minds have no regards for humanity and are far removed from nature or saving the earth and humanity.
@williams1, I have my answers in red.

@Zoegina, there is not much I dont know about christianity since I was brought up as one. Just like many Africans.
To honour your statement I wont mind discussing this particular point with you.....as per who created me.

Your questions and statement goes "Who created u? How did man came in 2 existant. If u need more clarification about the christian life. Please ask in a polite manner. U wil get answers dat wil benefit u."

I was created by my Mother with the aid of my Father. I have proof of my birth and my birth certificate also goes to prove same. I am not entirely sure I know how man came into existence, but my research tells me MAN has been on this planet for millions of years. There are evidence of live in Jos that dates back 37,000 years. Also evidence of life in Plateau that dates back 175,000 years. There is also evidence that Egyptian dynasties spand over 100,000 years. So for me to believe some entity created Earth and humans some 6000 years ago will go against my common sense.

Can you annwer the same question you asked and give your proof or evidence?

Thanks.

@Cammy, I do need you Smiley, sometimes I come just to see your input. Maybe not to prove christianity is fake Smiley. My use of english words is far from clever. It's even more difficult when I cant fully explain myself and reasons for my choice of words, since i will have to write a book.

My language that christianity is fake is cos, it's history and teachings are just white elephant projects. I came onsite to discuss meaningful issues but realized religion was a hot issue that stops people from becoming reasonable. Without reasonable people, meaningful discussions cannot be had, leading to lack of people to create a positive change in society.

Am even far off from what my original intentions were. Even the stories of the Egyptian Pharoahs and kings, or so called ancient egyptian Allegories are not what they are. Discussing the real issues will be misunderstood without actually breaking peoples bondage and opening them up for education as opposed to inductrination.

For example, if you look at Egyptian history, you come across the god ATUM, or generally known as ATUM Ra, or AMUN Ra or Amen. You hear stories of this great Pharoah and then trace the religion of Atum Ra to discover a greek word called ATOM. Then you realize that ATUM is a creator because he is just an ATOM/ATUM the smalled particle, at the Egyptian time, of all that is in the universe. Everything including air, water, and man, are created from ATOM/ATUM. The ATUM itself is a trinity of "proton-positive, neutron-neutral, and, electron - negative". When you look at this and try to find out truth, you realize you are stopped from learning by religion, or what you call DOGMA. Yet, when you look into the DOGMA, you see the same things being explained, but personified in such a way to make people have fear or some boggy man or moster entity. Trying to clarify this, leads indoctrinated people to claim that someone is claiming science over religion. How do you get off 1st base and explain that Education requires an open mind and knowledge is an infinite quest?

Am i waffling again? Smiley
The only person I have found on this site that I could really discuss with is Ajepakoromance.......Smiley

am not here to ridicule anyone. If anything, am the one being taken for a joker.

To fully answer your questions in a discussion for finding truth out of trust, we will have to check every possibility.

If the bible says GOD created the universe by speaking the word...............then we know the word is sound, and sound is energy carried along in wave form.

If the scientists says the world was created by a BIG BANG..............then we know the bang is a sound, and sound is energy carried alond in wave form.

Are these two items not similar? should discussion not be possible without DOGMA?

I'm still hoping on the goodness and rationality of humans. One day sha!!!

There is no similiarity in the big bang (and/or sound) theory as it were viz-a-viz the word spoken by God during creation.Before each word was spoken,God already had a perfect picture of what He spoke about.A bang if anything is usually catastrophic and cannot produce life.

@hosbert
I want you to get something straight as this thread is very different from yours. The main aim of this thread is not to argue wether God exists or not. The aim is to fight the killing and oppression of people by christianity by showing them the true face and reality of the christian religion. I will not have bothered calling someone's belief fake, it is mainly because of the artrocities they have comitted, continue to comit, and the mental state of the people around me that is so so low in spirit and are joining to pray for dooms day when Jesus will come to sought the christians from the non-believers. This is my future, past, and present, so I am not a joker!!!

That said, let's get back to your last input.

If I ask you to show me how the world was created, you have no fact or proof to substanciate your claim, but the bible.
If I ask you to prove that GOD spoke words that created all that is in existence, you have no proof, but the words written in the bible.

If I were to do same, and bring zecharia sitchin's book about creation and call it a bible, we will never agree if we maintain a stance of using only a single book reference. As our books give 2 very different and opposite accounts of creation.

So to be reasonable people, we discuss each item of creation, and argue out facts, moving away from the book reference.
I know you would say you can't move away from the book as it is the bible and written by GOD. But as previously said, the Muslims also say the Quran was dictated directly by GOD. They have no "son of GOD". Do they not fight christians as having opposite believes? do you see the continuing danger in such believes that cannot be substanciated, yet claims supremacy or supernatural knowledge?

Please I employ you to not take me that way of having to argue on this topic only from the context of one book we all know is not written by GOD and could not have survived in a book form for 500 years without crumbling into dust.

So let's discuss.............

Do you have proof of the word spoken by GOD that created existence?
My questions range as
1) What form was GOD before the creation of the universe?

2) according to the biblical account

"The Beginning"
 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 

Here there is no mention of word of GOD. It also refers to "the heavens" meaning plural, not one heaven. And specifically states that the earth was created formless. Is the word created here rightly used as to create means to build and when you build something, you start from scratch and add unto your creation till it's complete. I dont see words being used here to create the heavens and earth.
3) In the above chapter, where did the waters come from? I cant simply assume that God created the earth with it having 75% water in it. Because according to chapter nine "And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” Does this mean the earth was water and no ground at the time of creation?

If you wish to discuss such then am all game and can explain different to sichin's theory that ancient Africa including the original knowledge given to Egypt stated that............forget BIG BANG theory, because it was also copied from the ancient text, will like to say bible too, ut I'll leave that out for now. What did the ancient African creation story say?

It says, there was blackness or darkness in the beginning and a wave sound like waters moving was traveling in the darkness. As this wave moves, Hydrogen atoms contained within it escape into the darkness. A single Hydrogen atom is very unstable when it leaves the "wave" and is seen as a higly volatile spark till it combines with itself to become 2 x hydrogen atoms/atum forming Helium. If you search, you will find helium is the most common element in the universe. Next to this you find all subsequeszt elements are a combination of a pair of hydrogen. You can say am going scientific, but to me, this is just knowledge, be it using geometry or meditating to find facts.

The unstable Atum, created everything that you see in the universe. When the ancient Africans refer to the sun as RA. the religion that followed became the worship of ATUM RA. The atomic structure of the sun. This tells me that somewhere along the line education was changed to a religeous form. In my recollection, the Ancient Africans never practised any religion and still to date, no one can tell me the religion of the pre-dynastic egyptian peoples. I cannot put a time period to when all these knowledge became corrupted, but I sure know that the people of Egypt(known as kemet) took steps to build huge monuments that will stand a test of time, to enlighten the people of the next generation. The knowledge they tried to pass on was highjacked and translated to brainwash and confine the peoples to illetracy.

Anyway...long writing, let's just discuss the 3 questions i asked if you care to answer.........as so many bodies have so far fallen along the way.

To me, knowledge has been lost and I do not hold all the answers, but I am willing to learn and be corrected.

I think am misconstrued here because my post was a mere contribution to a position presented in the course of discussing your thread which tend to place God and His action side by side such tissue of lies like the big bang theory.First,you cannot proof that there was actually a bang and if there was,what sparked off the bang and what actually were the components or materials and how did there came about? Endless questions if I want to continue.
Point of correction:
Christians do not kill and I challenge you to produce evidence to counter my position.When the Isrealites killed and plundered their neighbours,they were not christians and still are not christians.The erroneous impression here is that Isreal nation is a christian nation but this not true.Every government and nation pursues a particular economic,political and foreign policies and these must not be seen as a christian agenda.Jesus made this abundantly clear in Matthew 12:50
For whoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Also in John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
This is where most people misunderstand christianity.Christianity is a relationship,fellowship,communion,companionship,an intermingling together with God.

So to be reasonable people, we discuss each item of creation, and argue out facts, moving away from the book reference.
I know you would say you can't move away from the book as it is the bible and written by GOD. But as previously said, the Muslims also say the Quran was dictated directly by GOD. They have no "son of GOD". Do they not fight christians as having opposite believes? do you see the continuing danger in such believes that cannot be substanciated, yet claims supremacy or supernatural knowledge?



Here you ask me to move away from the bible to proof my claims but you are also making reference to other books written by men.So why do have problem with my referenc to the bible? I have chosen it because it the Truth but man have manipulated its content to their advantage,misconstrued and misinterpreted to either disapprove the existence of God who inspired the writers (All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (II Tim. 3:16,17) ) and/or prevent people from believing in God.If christians take up arms to fight,my brother you and I know what would have been the result.Christ did not fight when He was here and as his followers,we cannot fight as God fights for us.A nation is not a christian but the individuals therein who have accepted Christ and live according to the word of God.

Most importantly,the bible is not mere words but the life and spirit of God (John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life).When you accept and believe these words,it will make you what it talk about,just dare to believe and live by the word.Christianity is not the church members and by mere saying am a christian but having a genuine relationship with God.

@hosbert

You are not talking reasonably....but first I will answer you ....
YOU SAID>
Point of correction:
Christians do not kill and I challenge you to produce evidence to counter my position.When the Isrealites killed and plundered their neighbours,they were not christians and still are not christians.


You know this is not a reasonable statement to make. Why do I say it is not reasonable. Because to reason is the process of using your mind to consider something carefully. You said Christians do not kill!! Is this really truly a reasonable statement with all that you know. Or can I also say Muslims do not kill?
Secondly, to challenge me to show you something you know is true but will deny is not reasonable. The world holds adolf Hitler to war crimes, not because he personally killed the jews, but it was done under his orders. All the christian killings were done under GOD' a good example I always give is the PREMEDITATED MURDER of the Amalekites

1 Samuel 15 "Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the LORD sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the LORD. 2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’"

Is this a different GOD from the christian GOD? or are you saying revenge killing is not premeditated murder when innocent babies are killed?

I did not ask you to move away from the bible, unlike you that ask me to become a believer in GOD. All I asked is that you dont discuss with me asking that I accept that all your truth is in the bible and the bible is the word and bond of the creator. You may think you dont say horrible things, but imagine me telling you to become a muslim as they have the truth in the Quran.

To stop all this childishness and actually see how reasonable you see yourself, I will show you right now that your bible story of creation is a fake story. ARE YOU REASONABLE???

GOD had his angels, one of them became bad and offended GOD. His name was Lucifer and became the Angel known today as SATAN/DEVIL. This SATAN was barnished from Heaven because he refused to bow to MAN(ADAM) thereby disobeying GOD. This is the same SATAN that tricked Eve and Adam to eat of the fruit and also disobey GOD. In the beginning GOD made the Heavens and the earth and 6 days after he made man. Please tell me when the Angels where created according to your bible.

Sometimes in your haste to prove your point,you end up muddling issues rather than present and situate them in their right perspectives.Worst still,your resort to attacking my person rather than my position smacks of a feeling of defeatism and lack of self control.Now back to the issues highlighted above,I have already made the issue clear in my earlier post and for the purpose of emphasis,I will repeat myself.Christianity is not about a nation,people,race or colour.Isreal as a nation in the period under review was not and would be wrongly addressed as a christian nation by anyone who percieves it so.The simple reason being that the world never witnessed christianity until the resurrection of Christ from death.In essence,the Isrealites when they fought or rather killed the Amalekites were not christians.

The second question as to whether the God of the Isrealites at the time the Amalekites were destroyed is different from the christian God,the answer is NO He is the same God.However,something brought about the situation then.God searched through the earth and found that only Abram was upright and thereafter called him to serve Him (God).Due to Abram's submission to God,God entered into a covenant with him and this was how Isreal became God's chosen people then.Whatever transpired between God,Isrealites and their neighbours then stemmed from this bacground.However,Isrealites ceased to be special to God immediately Jesus resuurected from death.Christ brought grace to the world such that there is no longer the circumcised and the uncircumcised,the Jew and the Gentiles as all are one before God in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus).

A christian cannot kill because killing is a sin and a christian cannot sin (1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Christians can't kill?

Who was doing the bulk of the killing in Bosnia? It wasn't the Moslems, I can tell you - it was done by Christian Serbs..

Christian priests took part in the killings in Rwanda.

I could go on, but I've made my point.

@Cammywhite when we stop twisting arguments just to serve our purpose(s),then our grasp of the subject of discuss would not be biased and our imputs would as well be objective.You did imply in one of your posts that there are fakes in every religion and if you know so,it follows that those who killed were not christians but claim to be.Christians actually are dead to the flesh;this means they are not moved by the mundane things of the world system just like Christ.They live Christlike and Jesus never killed when he was here or fought any war.Most people claim christianity while they are not.I have said that the church buildings,wearing of cassocks,or colar or robes is not a qualification to being a christian or pastor.Let us get this things straight.

@Hosbert, I think Cammy's statement is clear, though I see you have a problem of closed mindedness.

I don't think that Christianity is fake; it just isn't the only game in town, and its adherents need to remember that.

Your inability to open your mind makes it hard to reason or discuss with you as you cannot reason. Like I said earlier, to reason is the process of using your mind to consider something carefully. If your mind is already entrapped in christianity, and you are so confused as to wether christianity is a religion or a way of life of the Jews known as Isrealites. Then am sure I will be wasting precious time dscussing with you. Thanks for your input anyway, but i am not amused as you fail to answer my questions but digress into preaching from the bible and claiming statements are too muddled up for you to see clearly.

If you can alter statements from your mind that Christians dont kill. Then I am sure you will continue to the point of claiming Africans should thank their colonial masters. I have no time really for such people as I stated and quote again

"Please I employ you to not take me that way of having to argue on this topic only from the context of one book we all know is not written by GOD and could not have survived in a book form for 500 years without crumbling into dust."

If GOD really wrote the bible, then he is a stupid fool or a liar as he created shit!! nadda!! nothing!!

You wont answer that of who came first, Adam's creation or the sending of Lucifer out of Heaven. This will tell you something is wrong with the biblical account. Secondly, why I say confidently GOD is a FOOL is cos he did not even know who was created first 1) the plants and vegetation, or 2) Adam the human.

Genesis 111 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

Genesis 2
Adam and Eve
 4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
 5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground,
6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
8 Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

The very obvious question here will be WHICH CAME FIRST, MAN OR THE PLANTS?

A VERY REASONABLE PERSON WILL WONDER HOW GOD'S WORDS IN THIS PARTICULAR SCENARIO COULD CONTRADICT EACH OTHER

I can see how open your mind is as well as your reasonability.You are so engrossed with 'sense knowledge' such that what is beyond your sensory perception,you criticise and condemn.If you are open to learning and reasoning,you would have not said that am confused because all the materials you have referred to in the course of discussing your thread are books written by others.So what justification do have disputing my reference to the bible whether it is written by God or man.You have chosen to be blind to the inconsistencies in such books that are actually products of trial and error.You can continue to wonder how God created the world but do not drag me into wondering with you.The bible already provided an answer.

I still do remember that the topic and it is not about inconsistencies in the bible or whether God wrote it or not.When you bring up this issue in may be a new thread,then we will see to that.I still remember that logic is divided into deductive and inductive reasoning and whereas deductive reasoning concerns what follows necessarily from given premises (if a, then b); inductive reasoning involves the process of deriving a reliable generalization from observations.However,an inference is deductively valid if and only if there is no possible situation in which all the premises are true but the conclusion false. An inductive argument can be neither valid nor invalid; its premises give only some degree of probability, but not certainty, to its conclusion.You arguments so far,negates this simple facts of logic because logic and reasoning is nothing other than if...then.If God said Christ would die and resurrect after three days and it happened just like He said,then He (God) exists.Simple logic.
