asalimpo: As a father, you've failed to live up to your responsibility by not doing anything about the naked wire. Any sane father will get the wire fixed, not wish his child doesn't go there, and cry "I told you so" when something goes bad, and burn them for eternity for disobeying him. 4 Likes |

asalimpo:at least all atheists would agree with me that they would prefer a God who didn't create hell or devil in the first place. He would have created a perfect world (a perfect system). If he can't then he isn't perfect afterall, and if he isn't perfect, he can't be God. You dig? 2 Likes |

All these analogies are flawed, God never made direct contact with all his people, rather he over 4,000 contradictory messages through untrustworthy men and then expects you to first believe he exists (with no conclusive evidence), and then choose the right path. That's a terrible dad. |

jamela:to say everything God created is good is self contradicting, If all he created was good then why do we have evil things like the devil himself, why do we ve parasites and disease causing organisms since God created everytin. let me ask you, who created hell? is hell good? 1 Like |

dazzlingd: When the Bible said "God said let there be...." it was talking about the earth and the things in it where He put man to have dominion over the works of His hands, where He loved to fellowship with man. Yes, God created hell. He created it for the devil and his angels. That's where they are to spend eternity. God created man in His image, perfect, but He did not deny man the right to choose or He would have been accused of being unfair and unjust. Man would have been a robot without a soul but having life if he did not excercise his freewill to choose the path he wanted. Being given a will God did not take it back from man. He let man excercise it without interference from Him. This is why He not only placed the Tree of Life in the garden of Eden but also the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil alongside it to give man the opportunity to make a choice between two actions - to choose to obey or disobey Him. However, God sent His Son to pay the price and suffer the consequences of the sin man committed that man may be saved. God stretched His hand of salvation towards man through Jesus Christ and His hand is stretched still even today. Sadly, it will not be stretched forever. However, you have to choose to accepr or reject His outstretched hands of salvation through the power of choice He gave you. In effect, God did not make the choice for you to be condemned or saved - you made the choice. In other words, you made the choice to go to hell or spend eternity with God. God has given you everything you need to be saved but you choose to be condemned. If you reject help and become a victim, who will you blame for your destruction? The same God who offered help to you times without number? |

skeendyke:1. The all knowing God did not see when the serpent walked to tempt Eve. If he did, why didn't he do somtin abt it? or why was he surprised wen he discovered they had sinned. 2. If the all powerful God could create angels and lucifer that were capable of rebellion, then he can't control wat he created, then y wud he even wait for many years for his creatures to make more billions of humans perish befr interfering? 3. Even the all knowing, perfect and all powerful God accepted he made mistake and regretted that if had known he won't ve created man. so he never knew? ur religious mind wud find a way to defend all these things above, but ur logic, human reasonings and intelligence will ponder over the truths and facts stated above |

skeendyke:the moments u begin to realise that the bible stories were jst Jewish view of the creation jst like many other cultures have theirs, then u will see the reasons behind several contradictions in the bible. If u cud believe in 1. a talking snake (snakes use to walk in those days until they were cursed to start crawling to this day) 2. a tower to reach heaven explanation for languages 3. The universe created in six days and about 10,000 years old. 4. A ship that carried all the living creatures of the earth including snails, all varieties of ants, butterflies, cockroaches, etc 5. adam and eve populated asians, whites, blacks sooo many other things. If u cud believe this Jewish version, y can't u believe the yoruba or ibo version. seek knowledge, read books, do researches, human history., science, anthropology, archeology. You were indoctrinated from birth and society to believe wat u defend today, and u chose to remain in that constraint and circle of knowledge. Many ve advanced far beyond the bible stories and discovered more truths and facts, many ve seeked knowledge creating the basis of human development, advancements, discoveries, breakthrough in sciences and technology and some still look up to the sky to pray while others are doing space explorations 1 Like |

dazzlingd: God permitted the serpent to tempt Eve. He already knew what would happen but He had to let Eve make a choice between obeying Him or disobeying Him. He did not give her freewill only to stifle it or keep her from making use of it. If He had interfered, He would have unjustly denied Eve of exercising her power of choice. God will never have that as He is fair and just in all His dealings. 2. If the all powerful God could create angels and lucifer that were capable of rebellion, then he can't control wat he created, then y wud he even wait for many years for his creatures to make more billions of humans perish befr interfering? Every angel possesses the ability to make a choice. God created sin to give the angels choice to serve Him or rebel against Him. He never denies any of His creation the power to exercise their freewill. You've forgotten that one-third of the angels that sinned were cast out of heaven. What happened to the rest of the angels who did not sin or rebel? Were they not capable of rebellion? God has permitted the devil and his angels to try mankind as it is necessary that man be tested so that he makes a choice between following God or following the devil. 3. Even the all knowing, perfect and all powerful God accepted he made mistake and regretted that if had known he won't ve created man. so he never knew? Even before there was anything called Earth or angels, before time was born, God already knew Adam would fall, Eve would listen to the serpent and sin against Him so don't even go there. ur religious mind wud find a way to defend all these things above, but ur logic, human reasonings and intelligence will ponder over the truths and facts stated above You have to balance the use of reasoning and intelligence with faith in order to see the Truth. Over dependence on either one is detrimental to the person. Why would God give us reasoning capacity if He did not want us to use it? Again, why would God give every man on earth a measure of faith if He did not want them to exercise their God-given ability of faith? 1 Like |

dazzlingd: The Bible is a fairytale to you but to those who 'know' their God, it is God's love letter to man, His message of comfort, hope, assurance and love for His creation. It is His power unto salvation for those who are saved. The Bible is God's map to His kingdom and His people follow it. Finally, it is much much more than you can ever understand with your finite mind and reasoning. Stay blessed 2 Likes |

Take it or leave it he's still God love or hate him he created you and let us all be watchful of serpent seed... If there is no God so how do the world came existence when he forbids us from doing some certain things is for our own God.. He knows it all |

adetounblessing:the bible is nothing but the absolute truth. Anything that appears like contradictions should be believed by faith and spiritual eyes, don't ever dare to question anything as it is the devil and his evil angels trying to cause u confusions. Never seek any knowledge outside the bible that contradicts the bible as they are forbidden. obey these rules and the bible and its fairytales will remain blissful for u till death...but never forget that the truth will stand the test of all scrutiny. The moment u make an attempt to scrutinise some stories in the bible, then u will see it failing the basic tests of truth. Read about human history, from the beginning, ancient artifacts, how the bible was compiled and the sources, read about who that God is and how God was made up and all religious beliefs and I assure u, ur faith shall shake. jst try it. just dare it if you can.... |

adetounblessing:your creator gave u ur brain to think, seek knowledge, explore the works of His creation and develop. Any god that threatens you from thinking is not God. Once upon a time did the people belive God lives in the sky, the earth was flat, but science have explored both space and land for great discoveries you and I enjoy today. Ask ursef dat the heaven and earth which was created in six days and from den till now biblically sud be about 10,000 years or less when it has been proven that the earth is over billions of years old. Think! Ur brain is to think!, solve problems and impact in human advancements and not sit and say somethings are forbidden. do u know why it was forbidden in the bible for the people to build a tower that reached the sky, becus they believed God lived in the sky above and forbidden to try to see his ways up there, but today, Man has gone beyond that forbidden knowledge, gone to moon and come back and today u enjoy the works of science, discoveries and innovations |

skeendyke:I'm sorry but I must say ur use of reasoning has been completely flawed if at all u actually applied it. It was stated clearly in the bible, no bending or twisting...God regretted creating man and decided to destroy man with flood" this has no two explanations, no other meaning other than he never knew man would become dat evil meaning he acknowledged his own error. Sorry bro even the gods are not perfect. that is the absolute truth. 7 + 0 will give u 7, it's a fact and absolute truth without debate. so it is as written in the bible, God repented he created mankind. The omniscience and perfect God principle was flawed. I've asked one thousand and one pastors this verse and none has ever gone straight to the answer all looking for one excuse or the other for God. Let's jst be truthful, that verse contradicts the image of God as being perfect and all knowing. simple!! Remember I said, u myt either defend ur beliefs with ur religious thinking or ur common sense myt still speak to u. I'm not disappointed as u neglected the common sense option 2 Likes |

dazzlingd: The Bible has two things going against it, one is its self contradictory nature. The other is that the claims that it contains are rejected after they are applied to reality. What you highlight here is an open and shut case of contradiction. |

dazzlingd:if you know the God you serve nothing will shake being a Christian is just having Christ in you which is holy spirit and those theories are just to build your faith.... I have heard a lot of those theories but it doesn't change anything because I make my bible the absolute |

adetounblessing:The bible is the absolute truth, then u sud never be scared of scrutinising it. Therefore, I urge u to do a thorough research with an open mind about the origin of the bible and religion. Read about ancient gods too, zeus, horus, krishna, enki and the rest... read about some histories and cultures, then read a little about your solar system, galaxy and universe. This is jst a simple task. u can choose the red pill by seeking knowledge, daring to know the truths and u can either take the blue pill by never attempting to scrutinise for the truths and remain in delusions, remain happy dat way. The choice is yours....

dazzlingd:sorry to ask are you a Christian... You you. don't if you reason the word of God... I believe what he says I do as I have said the Bible is my absolute I don't care whatever anybody thinks... And why should believe some believe some confuse set of people.. If there is no God how are we having different theories about how the world came to existence am not saying you shouldn't think there is a place for reasoning... |
