MizMyColi: Nice write up. But I want to make some points. Firstly, God never committed genocide. He's the creator, he made all Men in his own image. He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, yes he did. Because he desperately wanted to wipe out immorality. But he tried to find just one person who was sinless in the whole city in order to justify his action. Adultery is a grave sin against God, and it has never been punishable by death. God never killed anyone for committing adultery, people did. Fornication and adultery are sins of the flesh, and they are some of the gravest sins because they defile the body which is Gods temple. And once the temple is defiled, God cannot dwell there. God hates sin with perfect hatred. From your analysis, its obvious you know more about the bible than you know about God. God cannot stand the slightest stain or the smallest sin. He is a Holy God. In the days before Jesus christ, I.e before the advent of Grace which is a word I know you like, there was punishment for every sin. God said, "i am a consuming fire" he is a destructive God, whether you believe it, like it or not. He destroyed the world with rain in the Noah days, and fire in Sodom, and he will do it again after Jesus comes. But he is also a merciful God, he said "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and compassion on whom I will have compassion" Your opinion of it doesn't really count! God is still the same. If you think for one minute that God is not the same or the God in your mind is sweet and adores every sin or mistake you make by petting you and encouraging you to try harder next time through his grace, then I'm afraid you are either deceiving yourself or the devil is playing a fast one on you. God will never encourage you in sin, he won't even minister to you. You will only receive a word from the holy spirit, if you have one in you. The holy spirit as the name portrays, is Holy, and cannot dwell in a person with sin. And God speaks through his spirit, meaning that if you are in sin, and you think you heard from God, its most likely your mind or subconscious. Grace is the difference, but not a hall pass. "Shall we continue in sin, so that grace may abound? God forbid" The difference between the God of the old testament whom you dread, and the one you feel is the right God, is just grace. After Jesus died, there was grace for sinners and hope for unbelievers to come to God, but this should not be abused by continuing in sin hoping for a miracle or still trying to please God while committing adultery and fornication. It won't work. God said "If you are neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth" meaning, its wrong to be on the fence. You are trying to make excuses for your sin. You don't want to face the fact that you are probably doing some wrong which you know are wrong. There's only one God, any attribution to God in the bible is God, whether you believe or not. Because God takes his word more serious than his name, and his word was written by his prophets. Living a life of Love, Kindness and Compassion does not guarantee eternal life in heaven. Ask Cornelius in the Bible, God sent Peter to preach to him so he can repent and accept Jesus, although he was a righteous man without Sin. You said "His grace is so full that at some point, depending on the persons mindset..." God doesn't work with your mindset, his words are laws. Don't paint it to suit you. Things of the spirit do not work with mindset. Yes, God will send one to hell for stealing. Your belief in this case is also inconsequential. Its in the bible, he gave the rules and laws. You can't bend them to suit you. Stealing, Lieing, fornication and adultery, evil thoughts, ungodliness, deception, wrath, covetousness, murder, unrepentance e.t.c. NB: I am not a holy person, I'm just explaining the word of God to you. Once you accept Jesus into your life, all your perceptions will change. Ask Saul, sorry Paul. |

MizMyColi: Life'd be a lot easier for ladies, if they could just remove this "God-fearing" clause from their list of heart's desires in a would be maite Ya, you're right. And ohh, right after they strike off 'God fearing' from the list, they should replace same with 'satan loving'. No? |

What is a spirit? in my own view, a spirit is the essense of the physical body. (i.e it may/can't exist without the physical body/form). or a spirit is a life force within the human physical body, or simply energy. can we see energy? no i can't, the gravitation force of the world is an energy. when you throw an object up, do you see what brings it down? no i doubt you do too. or a spirit is that which comes out of a human body when the body does not perform what it is meant for (death), has no ability to breath in oxygen (invisible). death! thus we can say that a spirit is that which is inanimate, has no form, can't be seen, heard, or touched, can't walk or speak (except in nollywood or all the other woods). only maybe feel. can we say GOD, is inanimate? dead? or a spirit? |

Ooooooh! This una courtship mata again, come enter God side this time. Anyways, we should stop relating our individual character with the fear of God. Because what I found odd in those considered not fearing God, exists in many religious leaders equally. Except those that challenges and insults God with contempt. So, let us concentrate on characters, which is hallmak of compatibility both in business and marriage. |

ifeness:Chris Angels has always made mockery of science,not that those scientific laws are not valid but it's not valid beyond physical realm.Isn't it?But it is true that magicians were known to be good physicists,with good knowledge of natural laws and science in general and were known to be physicians in the early days,before they were wiped out by Catholic church due to their evil ways.Isn't it?Do you know about the story of Moses' snake which swallowed the snakes of the magicians and the Quran(which differs with Bible majorly on Jesus and Isaac) further said the magicians confessed that truely,truely this is God. With this I tell you that science(physical)cannot define the spiritual but only Spiritual(God) can define physical.And there are many gods but 1 God.Physical cannot create spiritual but spiritual can create physical. |

Spirituality has got nothing to do with your bible stories. In fact most bible stories are no better than science fiction e.g the talking snake,moses parting the sea . Those are stories you tell to kids,unfortunately some adults still believe in them. What do you even know about spirits anyway? 1 Like |

ifeness:You always find a cheap and very silly way of derailing from arguements.God according to the bible is a spirit,so saying spirituality has nothing to do with Bible is intellectually flawed.Who told you that because you can't speak Spanish,I can't.Since you've never been in Eden,you can't tell me animals couldn't communicate like Man. I've answered a lot of questions,just answer this question:Is science safe enough to tell us how our world came into existence without involving spiritual realm and why? |

Terdoo2k4: 1. Someone who believes Jesus came and died for his/her sins So since our African ancestors didn't believe in Jesus, we can then conclude that they were not God fearing people. In fact, since more than half of the world do not believe in Jesus, we can similarly conclude that they are not God fearing people. |

How am i derailing? It will be too much for your brain to handle if i ask you which of the hundreds of gods history of metioned you are talking about. Since you are refering to the bible,there were several "gods" in the bible stories. One of them physically walked in the garden of eden. Also,another one had lunch with Abraham.....how could a spirit do such things? Another one had sex with mary...i could go on... 1 Like |

lebesgue: The book of romans chapter two gives us a glimpse of how those who have not heard the gospel will be judged but am yet to fully understand, but. Those who have heard and yet refuse to put their trust in jesus I can categorically tell you they are not God fearing... romans 1 and 2 says that... now if you are a christian u have to believe what the bible says if you are not then brother put your faith in jesus and follow those steps, hebrews. says it's gone be bad for those who have heard but yet refuse to believe |
