This is the correct answer to ebola outbreak,God have already giving us the brain to fight ebola through research,but unfortunately African countries are too corupt and not mindful like other continents.

CHARLOE: @ image123, ur line of argument is weak, am a xtian but hate 2 admit d atheists are making a valid pt. D bible is contradictry somtimes, Promising divine helth, healing, miracles (like image123 is trying 2 defend) n in anoda part saying we are prone to sickness n oda trobles of life (like shdemidemi is admiting). I've always wondered y we only c healing n miracles on d pages of d bible wit promises 2 us of same if we belive, but in reality it doesn't hapen, cos if it does, ebola n oda diseases wil b a tin of d past. Science has provided solutions to several diseases dat were previously incurable n hopefuly wil do same to ebola, as i kno we're all hoping, both xtians n muslims alike. I belive as som1 said earlier, God has bin misrepresentd 2 us n d bible does not help matters, but d evidence of his existence abound all around us in form of inteligent design; frm d complex n perfect human body to d super complex n infinite universe n how evertin work in perfect harmony. Maybe instead of calling dis super intelligent being god, call him d creator or what u wish (so u wont be reffering to d god of d bible in ur mind, cos of d obvious flaws in d bible). My submisions: d presence of intelligent design all around us pis proof of a super intelligent designer/creator/god, but he does not interfer in d affairs of men d way we are told in d bible/koran. Or god n satan are 1 n dsame person, just 2 sides of a coin.

I agree with the first part of your post, except where you said mentioned intelligent design.
The fact that we are here discussing Ebola, a runaway disease that distabilizes and kills the human body should be enough to disprove your so-called intelligent design.
The human body, or any body for that matter, is not intelligently designed, otherwise it would not be prone to disease and malfunction at all, considering the omni omni power, wisdom and foresight of the supposed designer.
Also, let me remind you, there is no perfect harmony in the universe. What you see as harmony are structures and mechanisms that took millions and billions of years to attain certain degrees of stability.
For example, it took the Earth over 4 billions years of violent wobbles just to attain its near-perfect orbit around the Sun. It is these violent wobbles of yesteryears that gave rise to craters, mountains, rivers and volcanic activities and of course the continents drifting part.

Dapo777:
No he isn't.

What he is saying is very clear and straightforward, but because of the emotional attachment you have with your religion that is why you don't want to open up your mind to reason with him.

Blunders in your argument:
1)You are putting mazaje on the same level God. Mazaje is NOT all powerful,all knowing, all merciful nor all present.

2)By asking Mazaje if he can give someone 40k naira,your point is that curing Ebola is a big deal for God since I suppose you think Mazaje is too stingy to give 40k out like that.

3)After Mazaje told you he has given someone even more than the amount you mention,you asked him if he could do So again to your friend,and he said no,obviously because he doesn't know your friend personally. Then you diverted your point to "because someone did something once doesn't mean he should/would do it again.". Poor argument.

Did your mum ever stop giving your food when you were young?
Did she ever tell you that because she was doing it before doesn't mean she should do it again.

The truth is,you are just fabricating excuses for God which we all know doesn't make an iota of sense.
*Cheers*

I just tire for this intelligent design argument. . .Ebola was intelligently designed for what?. . What about Hurricane and sink holes?. . .what were they intelligently designed for?. . .The asterisked nko?. . .what were they intelligently designed for?. . .Even our parent star the sun will some day grow too big and consume the earth, what was it intelligently designed for?. . .

Kindly give an example of what is intelligent or perfect, any example(s).

You beat me to this thread.

Ebola, its devastations, the fear that it evokes should, if Nigerian s were thinkers, be the final nail in God's coffin.
God is dead, killed by the Ebola virus, or at the least, rendered impotent.

This should have been a period for faith to wax strong. This should be time for Bonnke, Benny Ginn, Adeboye, Oyaks, Oyedepo and of course TV clown TB Joshua to reach out to Liberians and showcase the much touted power of god.

But alas, god and his earthly minions have gone AWOL, as has always been the case when disaster strikes.

God is like a crooked insurance company that reads you the fine print and hidden clauses when it's time to redeem their policy, even after all premiums of faith have been duly paid.

Men Of God, go out, preach the word, embrace and heal the sick. It doesn't matter if you die, for such would be the ultimate sacrifice similar to the which Jesus did for all mankind.

CHARLOE: @ Mazaje. Plaeton, i've a lot of respect 4 u guys n ur opinions, it's partly cos of pple like u i started seeing tins in a new lite. U guys sound inteligent so it bafles me how u can c somtin as complex as d human body, each part working in perfect harmony wit others, hw all our physical n emotional n physiological atributes are stored in our gene n hw d reproductn process produces animals of same specie n features, goat produce goat not dog, birds giv birth 2 birds n of same specie. HUmans dont giv birth 2 half animal half human etc if we had say, 50percent of animals repr diff species frm d norm or animal, in d process of evolution, den i'll understand wher u'r coming frm. (Yes som are born disabled, but wat is d percentage, and there's Usualy a reason 4 dat kind of ocurence. Or d case of man/woman sleeping wit an animal n giving birth 2 half human half animal, these ar rare n xplainable, not d norm). Talk more of d solar sys suspended in spce by invisible forces, working in perfect precision 4 millenia, d billions of galaxies in d universe, etc etc brooosss wetin, una dey fall hand! Conclusion: no amount of randomness n chaos in billions of yrs, can bring about d kind of inteligent design we c in n around us, replicated tru reproduction, 4 millenia, d. Probability is nil! I've bin a xtian all my life until recently, wen i started tinking out of d box. Now i descr mysef as a truth seeker, n agree dat 'holy books' like d bible, koran etc may b man-made n used 4 control, it does not change d fact dat d inteligent dsine around us were made by a super inteligent, superhuman creator(s). U cant c a car n say it evolved randomly, ova bilions of yrs, imposicant!

CHARLOE: D fact dat natural disasters like eartquak, vocanic eruptn, tsunami etc ocur ocasionaly, does not change dat fact. Abi if u bought a car brand new n after 5yrs it stats giving u probs ocasionaly; flat tire, dents, brake failure etc will u now conclude ur car was not manufactured by enginEers, but appeared randomly by chance?

ifeness: God is dead,he died long time ago.

Timzy234:


In the other post you said HE DOES NOT EXIST and now you are saying He is dead.


How can one who does not exist, die?

Weah96:

Semantics. They should both mean the same thing to you.

Defending the bible god once again as he shows how weak he is..SMH

The bible claimed elijah commanded fire from heaven to come down and burn his enemies yet none of our pastors can do same to bokoharam in sambisa forest..The bible claimed that jesus/ his disciples laid his hands on the sick and were healed but yet again our pastors fail to heal victims suffering from ebola virus...When exactly will this almighty god finally show his power or is it seasonal?

Geniuz:
Guy 5 have been cured of EVD. This was a disease which science placed its mortality rate at 90% hw come people are now surviving it?
THE GOD OF ELIJAH IS THE SAME TODAY AND FOREVER. I PRAISE HIS NAME

GREAT is our God and marvelous
Worthy to be blessed
Haleluyah!

TheBigUrban2:



Yawn.....scientists have known that the mortality rates vary.


mtchew

Geniuz:
I knw u r confused let me help u, God is the God of science (Omniscience),but its sin to believe in science instead of the creator of science

fulli16: i see people who have neva xperienced d power of God...
cause if you truly know God...

Valid questions though laced with mockery. Things are not just done simply on the basis that they can be done. Can you help a beggar or even a friend with 50, 000 naira? Maybe yes, but would you?
God has provided His solution to ebola and all pain and suffering since about 2014years ago. He's not at a loss if the whole world died of ebola, go figure.

Geniuz:

I worship an all knowing God He knows why He allows these things to happen. He promised not to allow those disease He purnished Egypt with to befall us so for this to happen, there must be a reason. God may be warning or reminding us of something or just trying our faith or anything, Gods thaughts are different from that of men.

Zeus777: am sorry but I didn't see any sense in this ur post

CrazyMan:
Hello bro...

Diseases has been in existence since the fall of man, therefore Ebola shouldn't be an exception.

We had leprosy (arguably one of the oldest disease on the planet) then HIV, SARS, TUBERCOLOSIS...etc. The God who saw us through those deadly and contagious diseases, would see us through this Ebola epidemic.

My God isn't dead bro.
