Mr_Anony:
Are you saying that God Himself brought sin into the world or that sin came as a result of man's actions?

ifeness:

Are you a jew?

musKeeto:
Very useless question... Can you make a list of leaders who have imitated Christ?

Does your lifestyle imitate Christ's? Does every believer on this board imitate Christ? Should we therefore say they're not Christian?

musKeeto:
Before sin, was there hell?

And yes, God created sin by giving Adam and Eve an instrution....

Roman 7:8
But sin used this command
to arouse all kinds of
covetous desires within me!
If there were no law, sin
would not have that power.

ckkris:

I assert that Hitler was not a Christian. Why ? Hitler was imposing his Aryan tribe above others.

A Christian is anyone on earth, that admits his/her sinful nature, and accepts Jesus as a mediator, whose death atones for the sins of mankind. Hitler didn't match this definition.

kmcutez:

Perfect question. Even Paul that took the gospel to the gentiles so perverted the gospel, that he Paul became an antichrist. Bible student indeed.

ckkris:

The Apostle Paul was not anti-christ. Paul is the pattern of invincible Christianity worldwide.

Jesus put his Jews over others. He came for the lost sheep of isreal. Read about the Canaanite Woman and Jesus.


Hitler doesnt meet your definition of christian but many catholic popes did and such popes committed many atrocities from enshrining slavery in canon law to support of torture of heretics etc

cyrexx:
What baffles me was that: didn't the omnisicent Yahweh know already that those guys will fail the test? He knew but he went ahead to test them anyway and when they failed, he condemned all their unborn generations to eternal torture in hell that he had created, only those few among them who become Christians will be spared from hell.


How anybody can make sense of GRAND NONSENSE is truly beyond me.

ckkris:

Not only that Hitler wasn't Christian, anyone that declares him/herself a HUMANIST is not a Christian. Please google the Humanist Manifesto.

kmcutez:

Go and study your bible again. Abi you think say na small pikin full this thread.

kmcutez:

It will be hard for even the christians to be spared, because 99.9% of them cannot meet up with the standard set up by this God. This God is wicked.

ckkris:

Now that's the reason God sent His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believe in shall not perish, but receive everlasting life

kmcutez: Logicboy, I swear you no well. Lol at the pic above.

musKeeto:
Another useless quote. Please, what's everlasting life?

If one ends up in hell or heaven, there would be everlasting life either ways, not so?

The Bible doesn't consider life outside God as life. It is death. i was dead in sins like the prodigal son until i received eternal life.

So all atheists are dead? Poor philosophy

musKeeto: Oga, I meant GEJ's a President, but doesn't act like a President.

Still waiting for an explanation of this eternal life...

Logicboy03: Top 5 reasons why christians will always lose on Nairaland


5) God is beyond logic/science and therefore theists will always lose in a logical argument.
Remember that the christian God is omnipotent, omniscient, timeless, infinite, created from nothing and eternal. All characteristics which are paradoxical/contradictory from a logical standpoint

4)The bible is a difficult book for everyone (both christians and non-christians) and so arguing for it is a difficult task that normally results in failure
The bible has many interpretations and multiple meanings . It also has problems with science (miracles). It is also an old book written in a different time from our time and so, some history/context has to be known before arguing for it.

3) Christians often contradict each other while the atheists who should be less united are more in harmony on the fundamental issues.
Atheists have no book to follow or some uniting body. However, atheists are more or less very in sync with their criticism of religion. Atheist also tend to be liberal and even the conservative ones are moderate conservatives. Atheists have various opinions and styles but they are very precise and similar on the criticism of religion. Christians on the other hand cant even have the same theology. The disagree on who their messiah is. Is Jesus man or God?

2) The blatant hypocrisy of certain christians and their pastors.
There are christians on nairaland that condemn atheists while they themselves are immoral. There are christians who claim that atheists are evil while saying that they rather give pastors tithes than to feed poor people. Then there are the pastors who are tithe frauds and liars who decieve their members like sheep.

This creates sympathy for the atheists and honest christians are forced to question their religion.

1) Atheists are generally more intelligent than christians when it comes to religious knowledge
