[i][/i] Why does an all-loving, all-knowing, all-powerful God leave his children in this constant confusion of not knowing which is the correct interpretation of Scriptures which has led men into many different sects and at the same time wars and witch-hunts where tens of millions have been killed?

Wilgrea7:


because we major on the minor and minor on the major... we left the teachings of Christ and built a religion... that was where the problem started from

HomoSapiien:


So in other words we are to remain dumb and believe blindly?

Hawlahscho:


Remain dumb and dont believe. Instead of believing opposite BLINDLY

JMAN05:


If you love the truth and wants the right interpretation, you can get it. If you aren't sincere, you will sweam in the ocean of confusion. Besides, some truths are kept hidden by God until a time He wish it be revealed. No matter how you wish to interpret those ones, you ll keep failing.

The problems in the world are the product of men who took a different route from their creator. God cannot be blamed. We have free will, what you sow, you reap. For the obedient ones, there future is bright

LaClicKLaBenDin:



As much as the Bible is written in plain words and language, they carry deeper spiritual meanings, but the problem with humanity is that we depend too much on our human knowledge to interpret God's word.

The Bible was written by the inspiration of the Holy spirit, and until Christians and the world at large learn to yield to the Holy Spirit for him to interpret the scriptures from God's own perspective, this current confusion will continue.

The Bible as plain as it looks, is embedded with mysteries that only the One who inspired its writing can reveal.

God isn't the one responsible for this self-induced confusion, but the inability of man to develop a personal relationship with God: it is only and only through the instrumentality of a personal relationship with God, that can grant man the ability to interpret the scriptures, and avoid unnecessary confusion.

It is man's duty to read the word, but interpretation is for the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:13 ►

New International Version
This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.

New Living Translation
When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths.

English Standard Version
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

Berean Study Bible
And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

Berean Literal Bible
which also we speak, not in words taught of human wisdom, but in those taught of the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual means.

New American Standard Bible
which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

King James Bible
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Based on what this God has REVEALED so far, the revelations are either impossible, conflicting or contradicting.

JMAN05:


Meaning you just don't know what he has revealed so far, cos it isn't conflicting. Have it in mind that if you don't have love for the truth, God will allow a deluding influence to operate on you so that you go on believing the lie rather than the truth. (2Thes 2:10-12) You must have the right heart to glean the truth in Gods word.

HomoSapiien:


Poo!

Let me put it to you in a more friendly way. Christians claim their God is not an author of confusion, whereas the religion itself is a pool of confusion. Who's lying and how do we determine the truth?

akintom:



You guys assume too much, and rather irrationally.

Your revealed God says:

1. The soul that sin shall die....

2. He turned around and says, i will avenge sin of the father to 4th generations.... OF them that sin against him....

Is this not grand nonsense?

UyiIredi:


@ bold: In other words, you must throw your brain out the window to see the truth in God's word. Doubtless, there is truth in the Bible. But there are also outlandish lies and illogicalities.

JMAN05:


Sincere people ask questions of what they don't understand, not concluding that what they misunderstood is nonsense. I for one decided not to waste my time with insincere ones. When you are ready, ask appropriate questions with the right words.

akintom:


You will have to first explain, how my question on the conflicting character of your revealed God, is misunderstood, before going on to another one with you.

You simply can't delve into this. One of your brothers on NL attempted it, but fizzled out without apologizing for his ignorance.

Why do some students still fail an exam taught by the best teacher in the university?

But, since you are not even a registered student, the question is above your head!

HomoSapiien:


is the best teacher also all power all knowing like your god? Or how are you sure about the ones that passed the supposed exam? using your foolish analogy, has any exam been done or passed by some to even know those that failed??



I don't know where you got this notion from, but you must be very stupid to make this claim.

shadeyinka:


I can just imagine how deep the filth is where those words were spewed out from!.

HomoSapiien:




It's okay to call someone you don't know an illiterate?

I can imagine your arrogance and egotism.

shadeyinka:


I never called you an illiterate. I only said in other words that "it takes being a registered student to comprehend the question".

So what are you calling me A literate?

You said I'm not a registered student, where did you get that from? Oh! I see, you went to check my recent comments to draw your conclusion? Sorry, you had a wrong conclusion bro, and i know it's as a result of your arrogance and ego. You tried to mock me because i said in my recent post that I've tried to gain admission but couldn't. Well done, you just showed the color of a true Christian...i get it bro, i get it.

"The fact that you do not know things about the Schrodinger wave equation does not mean that you are stupid: it only means you didn't study advanced level Physics.

shadeyinka:


I am so sorry you got me completely wrong. God forbid, I would never ever mock a person for a state he didn't cause. I never even looked at your profile. I don't know your educational status.

I am sorry if I communicated a wrong information. I strongly believe that no one has anything except that which he is given from above. There isn't one reason I should boast about anything.

So sorry my friend. I use illustrations and analogies a lot, my use of physics and Schrödingers wave equations were coincidental if it was derogatory. I just wanted to show that intelligence isn't measured by PhDs.

The use of Registered student was from my earlier post
