malvisguy212: do you think you can bribe God with your good deed?

iamjane:

My opinion?

The Star of Bethlehem was a testimony, a sign, from above heralding the birth of the Christ!

The three wise kings (like astrologers) were able to read this sign and became aware that a "King" had been born and even it's location.

What other signs and proof did man need eh?!

If man weren't willing tools of Lucifer, that sign would have been enough for them (man) to welcome receive and accept the Child for What He Is and be prepared to listen to Him upon maturity. .

Remember Satan has no power over anything or anyone all it has to do is TEMPT man and man has the choice of falling or standing.

The bible can not accurately tell future. The bible and other "holy books" are scripts that are been followed thereby making it seem like its predicting the future.

There is no god

alcuin: A book of fables. How can someone believe in the tower of babel? If God was so pissed with men that sought to build a structure to reach the sky, I wonder what he will do modern space scientist.

The world was flooded in 40 days by rain? Today rain falls for over 100 days in some pacific islands.

Virgin birth Now seriously, if ur wife approaches u today and tells u that she's pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit, would u believe.

How can a reasonable person believe in a book whose writers never saw what are writing about. Paul never saw Jesus. Matthew, John, Mark, Luke are pen names of unknown writers.

Pauls case is more interesting. Can u imagine Adolf Hitler after killing millions of Jews, taking a stroll to Berlin and said he has changed and started writing Jewish scriptures and expect the Jews to take me seriously?

mindurbiznes:



These questionsof yours can best be described as a spark of longing forTruth within you whether you realise it or not; it will leave you restless until YOU strive to findthe answers!

The Bible is but a compilation of 66 books, some more than 66 (GnB).

It is not a book written by Christ though!

Each Book of the Bible stands on its own!

Some speak of the history of a particular peoples (eg Jews), some poetry of physical love like Songs of Solomon...

The Book of Revelation for instance, when it ended by saying no one should ADD OR REMOVE from this book, was referring only to the Book of the Revelation of John!


The Book of Genesis (Creation, Adam and Eve story) like the Book of Revelation was rendered in pictorial form using symbols for a purpose


We're lucky to have the Bible in the sense that we are opportuned to read various Scriptural Collections in a book.


But it cannot be said to be a complete whole in itself.


If you are opportuned to read other spiritually inspired books,as a Truth seekers... do read them.


It's said the book was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, but how about its compilation? Other books not compiled may have been inspired.

I love the Bible but not in an EXCLUSIVE sense. I read other books too.




Zoraster in Iran
Lao-Tse in China
Buddha in India
Mohammed in Arabia...

Their teachings were at one time willed by God, precisely adapted to the individual peoples and countries and in complete accord with their actual spiritual maturity and receptivity at the time.


But in the course of thousands of years, MEN always, as they still do today, distorted every teaching in order to adapt it to their human way of thinking and their earthly desires. ... if not there would now be only ONE UNIFORM teaching here on earth, there would be no differences in the interpretations. .

By Virgin birth is meant First Child and Jesus indeed was the First born of Mary. Any other interpretation is unnatural and thus unacceptable! You see

On earth science and spiritually knowledge complement each other ok. Leave religion first; it's but a means(invented by man, probably to preserve the spiritual aspect of earth life) to an end But when you regard earthly wisdom as Divine and worship it then you become one sided and cut off from the Source of All Life-that translates to Death in its truest meaning. .Not physical death which is but a transition- In the Story of Adam and Eve it's symbol is like:

Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


I wish you strength in your quest for answers, Truth and Life.

pamcode: l want u to know DAT God destroyed d tower of babel because 1) nimrod who organised d building wanted to use it to glorify himself and place himself above God and God
said he would not share his glory with anyone .2) God commanded man to grow n multiply not stay in one place. Also if Paul didn't c Jesus he would have heard of him being a pharisee bsides faith is nt by sight but by d heart and where did u get dat fact DAT Matthew Luke etc were just pen names

yinkusnoni: ...so when God says He would not share his Glory with anyone, why are Christain calling Jesus, the Lord?? Abi can we have two lord over the universe??

Missy89:

do you have to be in any organized religion to do good? and why should anyone expect a reward for doing good?

Missy89:

none of the above

eben28:



May God have mercy on you. You don't refer to the Almighty God and His word like that.
Don't try that next time.

none of the above

pamcode: let me use a common example if a king sends a message to a place or person the messenger is respected just d way d king himself would be respected d same applies in did case

abubello: still more:

7. There are even contradictions in the accounts of the resurrection – the supposed event that is the very foundation of the Christian religion. Mark 16:2 states that on the day of the resurrection, certain women arrived at the tomb at the rising of the sun. But John 20:1 informs us they arrived when it was yet dark. Luke 24:2 describes the tomb as open when the women arrived, whereas Matthew 28:1-2 indicates it was closed. Mark 16:5 declares that the women saw a young man at the tomb, Luke 24:4 says they saw two men, Matthew 28:2 reports they saw an angel, and John 20:11-12 claims they saw two angels.

8. Also in the resurrection stories, there are contradictions as to the identity of the women who came to the tomb,[7] whether the men or angels the women saw were inside or outside the tomb,[8] whether the men or angels were standing or sitting,[9] and whether Mary Magdalene recognized the' risen' Jesus when he first appeared to her.

9. As a final example of a New Testament contradiction, the conflicting accounts of Paul’s conversion can be cited. Acts 9:7 states that when Jesus called Paul to preach the gospel, the men who were with Paul heard a voice but saw no man. According to Acts 22:9, however, the men saw a light but didn't hear the voice speaking to Paul.

Do christians still beleive that these contradictory accounts were all inspired by holy spirit?

abubello: @emmaomotob by your own admission some some accounts in the bible are untrue, the question is how many percent of the bible is untrue?
Do you as a Christian have a way if sifting the true from the untrue in the bible. How can you be sure that passages like crucifixion, trinity, original sin etc do not belong to the untrue portion?

malvisguy212: CONFESSING JESUS CHRIST IS ACCEPTING THE WORD OF GOD
BECAUSE JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD, NOT
CONFESSING JESUS BUT DECIDED TO BE A
GOOD MAN, IS LIKE A MAN TELLING GOD,
"HELLOW GOD,I KNOW SATAN IS A BAD
MAN AND YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP ME, BUT GOD I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP, I CAN SAVE
MYSELF, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR WORD
[JESUS].


God created you in his image, do you know what that mean? It mean you are god, but when satan descive man, man lost the Godliness, in other for God to restore man Godliness , He has to transform Himself in the realm of Human for man to adopted back the nature of Godliness, that is why Jesus was born of the spirit of God.

There is many deep thing in the bible mankind don't know, Do you know that john the baptist was not a baptist? He only baptize to know the christ because according to the prophecy a dove will descend on Him by the time john baptize the christ,the day john see jesus HE STOP BAPTIZING. Even him john, when they ask "who are you?" he said" am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,prepaire ye the way". The bible is one of the greatest book, it is very simple to understand the context in it, but it will take a lifetime to understand THE TRUTH IN IT.thank you.

Emmaomotob: The disciples gave their own account of Christ and there is no way five people would be told to write on an episode of SUPER STORY that they will write the same thing not to talk of writing on a man's life and even scenes they were only told about but not physically present,that was why each account was put into consideration and were not merged.Give your life to Christ,it is when you realise how complex you,the univese,and nature around you are,then and only then would you regard this world as a mystery that could only have being propounded and can only be explained by a supreme being.
EINSTEIN AND NEWTON ARE TWO INQUISITIVE MINDS,IF THEY DON'T DOUBT THE BIBLE,WHO ARE YOU TO?
