Kindly read those portions again with a sane mind.
The portion you gave me from the Bible did not mention the name of the god of the Israelites.
You claimed that the Israelites don't believe God, tell me which God then is the god of Israelites? Is it Baal?

malvisguy212: what are you saying? Because they sin once? Let assume the sin only one time, God don't ignore sin, you must pay for it, moreover the israelite live by the law at that time.

2 Peter 2:20-21New International Version (NIV) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it
and are overcome, they are worse off at
the end than they were at the beginning. 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness,
than to have known it and then to turn
their backs on the sacred command that
was passed on to them.

Verse 22 SAY , as the proverb say.......the dog turn to it own vomit.
Why are Christians so good at dodging questions, you haven't answered my question, who is the god of the Israelites,which god do they believe in. Is it Baal or what?
I want to learn something new from you today. grin

Alexleo and malvisguy212 can you tell me where God is and what He is doing when all these things happens on earth:

More people commit suicide in New York City than are murdered.

About 153,000 people will die on your birthday.

Doctors’ sloppy handwriting kills more than 7,000 people annually.

Every hour, at least 1 person is killed by a drunk driver in the U.S.

Mount Everest has about 200 dead bodies on it, which are now landmarks on the way to the top.

Every 40 seconds, someone commits suicide.

Italian serial killer Leonarda Cianciulli was famous for turning victims into tea cakes and serving them to guests.


80% of all Soviet males born in 1923 died in World War II

You are more likely to die slipping in the bathtub, getting struck by lightning, or drowning in the bathtub, than from Terrorism.

Every 90 seconds, one woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth.
And much more. You should also know that not a single event happens on earth that God doesn't know of,but what does he do when this things are happening? undecided
Or let me say what does he plan on doing to end all ?
evils? He would torment sinners in hell for eternity, wow,what a great and perfect solution from a loving God. He hasn't gotten enough entertainment from the torments men are going through on earth ,so he decided to create hell for the continuous torment of men,of what purpose is that eternal torment? To entertain him ofcourse. Because if hell is trully for correction or punishment it shouldn't be eternal.

Oya tell me something I don't understand. undecided

I don't have time for silly argument. You asked that we should show you in the bible where it is written that the children of Isreal had unbelief and I showed you. Rather than accept it you started some foolish talk and questions. Remain in your foolushness. If I show you any other thing you will still display your foolishness and I don't have that time to waste. I discuss with people who accept their errors. Bye.

What do you think would make a prophet enter a lions den in UI zoo only for him to be devoured by the lions? FAITH OR STUPIDITY?

Roman 8: 14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God

FAITH is simply 'trusting the leading of the Spirit of God, through the word and/ or revelation!

If that prophet was led by the Spirit of God, the same Spirit that was with Daniel in the lion's den he woulm have had the same result but rather he had FAITH IN HIMSELF and decided to TEST GOD!

Remember 'thou shalt not tempt the LORD your God'

if Ahab believed God wouldn't he have hearkened to the words of Michaiah, God's prophet? (1 kings 22:13-27)

Well you are wrong with that statement because I once believed, yes u heard me right,nothing was as real as God to me before,and I didn't see any glory,each time it seems as if God was talking to me,all I get is blames from "God" all I get was reprimands, all I get was God pointing out my sins and telling me how it's all my fault that this or that is happening to me,is that God's glory?
Not until I discovered the truth,it was then I knew I was talking to myself all along. angry If God truly lives I challenge Him to speak to me directly with an audible voice,since He did the same for Samuel,if God can speak to me, and not me talking to myself,then I promise to be one of His soldiers. angry
hmmm....thumbs up!
If only people choose to be true to self they will stop elevating the self-delusion of Faith over reason and incontrovertible evidence. I have not seen an amputee re-grow a limb before but i know of Oscar Pistorius who runs on prosthesis !

What baffles me more is how we souls are going to feel the pains in heaven,do souls have sensory receptors? Some say that souls would be given a new body before judgement so they can feel pains in hell and pleasure in heaven,and those same people believe that spiritual things and natural things aren't compatible, so how is it possible that we would have body(natural thing) in a spiritual world(heaven or hell)
The answer is simple. Everything is a figment of man's imagination, heaven and hell was created by man. That's the only way body can exist in hell and heaven.

Actually, everything is perfect. It is perfect that we live to die. It is perfect that there are good and bad people. It is perfect that there are no restrictions.

It is we- human beings that add emotionalism into the picture and all of a sudden, somethings become fiery and damn evil. Death is a very good thing the universe has to offer. The concept of duality- sin and righteousness, draws us back.
