what thought is that?

Mr.T Anonymous:
What has that got to do with the canaanites masaccre I don't you...
They were killed by their iniquity,or your pre-assumed fake god wanted to conquer the land becoz of the richness of it...,a land flowing with milk and honey...
Wake up,bro! There is nothing to gain in christianity...

philfearon:
You dont have a strong Faith in God,thats why with a little obstacle,you are all about saying Your trust in God caused u something...Bro,like i said,if u want to enjoy God,you have to displease yourself...If you think u can please urself and please God,thats a Mistake...
If i go to the bible nw,u wil start attacking me,so i wil use a place of Work 4 example..
For u to be retained in a company's payroll,u must be a worker..For u to be retained longer,u have to be able to displease urself by waking up early everyday and going to work..You wil make sure that u obey every single rule in the company...The longer u stay in this company and work hard,u get increaze in salary,promotion and other incentives...
Now,you are getting all these becuz u are obeying the company's rule and instructions and the likes...But what happens when u dont obey them? You are fired....Your probability of being back is almost equal to zero...
Same with God..The more u stay in God,and obey Him,despite the obstacles,thats the more u grow in knowledge of Him and understand Him more..But unlike the company case,when u stop obeying God,he wil temporarily go out of ur way,but wil be hoping you come back to Him...If u eventually admit ur sin and go back to Him,He welcomes u wit open arms,and then just like in humans,you wil realise just how much u have missed Him in ur life...
..
If u expect that trusting in God means that things will be rosy for u,that means u started off on the wrong note...Many people have died preaching about him..Many were killed,beheaded,cruxified,thrown into burning oil,thrown into burning furnace...Why do u think He allowed them die when He can save them? The thing is,there is nothing here on earth.....Everything here is vanity....You have Asha200 today,tomorrow Asha305 wil come out,and ur interest in Asha200 wil subside...We want to look gud,appear wel and doing b4 family members and society,and all that....You build a house with 10rooms,yet u sleep in one room,in a particular corner of the room...All is vanity....But then,u die,the flesh u are labouring all this earthly things for,will get devoured by terminates within weeks,and none of ur accumulated wealth wil be buried with u.....Whats the gain?....
When u decide to look past this life,thats when u wil start appreciating the Essence of God in ur life!! One luv..

In your analogy of a work place, I believe the employer is God, the employee humans right? Job description will be our duty to God abi?

But before I go further, who is Satan in the anology? Where would you classify temptations?

Mr.T Anonymous:
Who said I didn't misplease myself to please him
It seems like this christianity philosophy has sunk deep into your skull?
For a god to prove he is alive,he has to reaffirm hope in followers-but you christians still believe if you have an obstacle,pray and if he doesn't answer,you conclude god's will is the best.
What is god's will
Do you wanna tell me that Oyedepo buying 4 private jets is god's will?
Or Adeboye climbing the pulpit every sunday shouting Halleluyah,whereas paying huge money on luxuries of a jet,where countless of unemployed youth are in his church?
Is that what you call the will of god?

WHAT A gOD!!!

philfearon:
And stop erring saying they were massacred!! They went to a war thinking their gods can save them,but their gods met a Mightier God,and shut still,and the Mightier Gods people Defeated them in a war..How is that Massacre?

GeneralShepherd:

My greatest struggle in keep my fate in God,is not really my situation,

But the alleged massacre and killings in the bible,do say those were no massacres will be plain dishonesty.

Why allow them to be born in the first place,because God knew he'll kill them anyway before they were born.

He also knew his killing them will someday drive me to atheism,if he knew all these things why do it anyway?

Unless He also predestined me to rot in hell.
Now how am I supposed to keep loving God?

Please don't dismiss these things.

philfearon:
Well,this shows just how little ur faith and trust is,and how ignorant of God you are...I Now conclude that You dont even know God....If u know God,you wont be saying whatever things you are saying here...
You say u are nt after Materialism,but all your statements are Materialistic in nature...Place ur priorities well bro...Know ur priorities!!

Foxy_Flow:

Did you stop believing in God?

Mr.T Anonymous:
I can see you have nothing else to say.
I don't need going online to tell the World why I suddenly turned to an atheist.,why I dumped atheism for christianity,so bro,stop trying to force words out of my mouth.
As I said earlier,christianity is a waste of time,just believe in yourself,work very hard,expect calamities to befall you and the most important thing,
Forget about god...
Simple!!!

Mr.T Anonymous:
[b]1.I was struggling a lot with my atheism and relating to the religious and I've come to one very liberating thought. It doesn't matter if God is real or not. It really doesn't.
God is not someone I would ever worship. He is an a$$hole. Kill your child to prove yourself to me. I love you, so I cause you suffering. Its for your own good.
It doesn't matter how beautiful the world can be. The fact that it can be so ugly and so cruel and so unmerciful leads me to hold God, if he exists, culpable!
If we, as humans, can look at a situation and say, "Ya know, murdering my child for any reason isn't right." Then we hold moral authority over God every day of the week, even Sunday.
So does it matter if he exists if he such a horrendous deity. Forget that, "God changed" crap, because I do not care if a serial killer has changed - he is still a serial killer at his core. And if you don't think the God of the bible is a serial killer, then you haven't read the bible!
2.Not only the genocide, but what about making people beg for help? If he knows everything that happens and can intervene on a whim, why should it be necessary to pray for help? Even the strong, devout believers that "know" he exists still have to ask for help monetarily, for health issues, guidance, etc. When someone I know appears to need help, I don't wait for them to beg for it, I offer it freely. Any entity with omnipresence and omnipotence should simply step in and reaffirm his followers' faith.
He's like a playground bully, "You want this ball? Ask me nicely. Ask again. Get on your knees and plead for it.
3.I just don't understand. Forget how you can believe in God as there is so little evidence for the extraordinary claims...but WHY would you ever want to believe in this God?
People talk about God in terms of flowery love. "God was with me in the car crash that killed the other passengers." oh? What a horrible thought. If he was capable of being with you, then why wasn't he with them? Why do you not see his action as culpable?
Why would you ever believe in a God so callous and cruel as to allow a message that been perverted and contorted to stay that way when something as important as eternal suffering is at stake? That doesn't strike me as a caring deity. That strikes me the way that a petulant child would behave.[/b]

Okay....
Temptations in the analogy would be thoughts like:
**Abeg relax a bit joor,you are working urself out..
**Emeka or Obi is earning more than u,yet u are here wasting ur time everyday,working like a horse..
**Go and ask for increment or promo,when u know u have nt earned that,and when u know those things take a process..
**If u break a particular rule in that company,it wil be a first,and u probably wont get fired...
**When it is in the morning time,when sleep is still too sweet ,your body wil tel u to sleep more,that ur boss wil understand...At the end of the day,u come late..and before u knw it,it becomes a habit...
.....These are the likely temptations,depending on the workplace,and there are much more..,..
....
The devil in this analogy is that thought that always tells you all these,knowing fully well that it wil get u fired...
