Image123: The Bible already defined your god for the whole world. What I did was look for that very god that was defined out here in the real world. You want to make your god weaker and less powerful than the Bible say he is. Unfortunately, you don't have the privilege to do so. Not unless you burn every Bible on the planet and erase all cyber traces of them as well. |
Re: PART 2: Pastor to Atheist: Why I will NEVER be a Christian again by Image123(m): 2:12pm On May 17, 2016 |
Weah96: God forbid that i try to make Him weaker, i'm only showing you a better understanding and perspective of what and who He really is. The Bible's definition of God is not your definition, im sure. You dont like or agree with the Bible God, im certain. You want a God who will not punish sin, who will show up on CNN and make broadcast on Raypower, a god who will heal all sickness today and end all wars before 6pm if he's truly God. My friend, wake up, that is not the God defined in the Bible. 4 Likes |

Image123: I want evidence of the god defined in the Bible. What I think about the real God wouldn't matter if your Bible god was doing what the Bible says he does. There are two ways to arrive at my position. You either read the Bible well and see that the claims therein are unsubstantiated in real life or you create an independent idea of God in your head which contradicts the Bible one. I used the former. I ran out of excuses for the Bible god as I got older, primarily because the Bible kept opposing my excuses. |

To the op @hardmirror I know you have had your time with religion, but permit me to infer that there's a religious group you have have not tried. Again, I inferred. And it is Jehovah's witnesses. Their teaching is firmly based on the bible, it supports proven science e.g that the physical universe is not a few thousand years but may span into millions of years. They believe that the gift of healing and speaking in tongue has ceased (1cor 13:8 ) . So all these stories people make up about miracles are either plain hoaxes or temporary magic.

drestoneokuta: I was living a delusion, thinking that a Jew spirit who dictated the Bible was listening to my prayers. I was like a child who thought that a fairy was watching over my tooth when in reality it was the mother removing them. The child grows old and recognizes that fairies don't exist. Likewise, I outgrew my delusion. I could no longer make excuses for your Bible god. It is a tooth fairy. |

Re: PART 2: Pastor to Atheist: Why I will NEVER be a Christian again by HardMirror(m): 8:03am On May 18, 2016 |
Weah96:Christians are reducing their expectations from God and making it more ambiguous. Noticed the thread of the boy whose eyes were plucked out by ritualists, not a single prayer for the boy to be restored. They were all praying for his future to be great or that God should punish the ritualists. Lol It tells a lot on their own low expectations from a God that promised his followers the power to move mountains into the sea with just faith as little as mustard seed. 4 Likes |

Image123:Hehehe I keep smiling and shaking my head. It's just so funny how ambiguous this God is. People worshiping the sun are better of. Why? So obvious that without the sun there is no life and the sun is there for all to see and experience it's impact. But the God of the Bible makes SO MANY promises and NONE of it can be proven tangibly. I just shake my head at how christians keep contradicting the bible. You don't have the manifestation of the power of God which Jesus promises several times, yet hyou guys keep making noise everywhere. Jesus made eymes with clay and his spittle (saliva) for a man that did not have eyes, imagine just one of this miracles in this modern times, Just ONE! Oh my brother. A promise of commanding mountain into the sea with faith as small as mustard seed is yet to be actualized. U can't even move sugar cube with faith as big as coconut. All of a sudden God is not God of the bible now, all he does are things that are ambiguous. How can hospitals be treating more people than God is healing? With over 2 billion Christians worldwide. Na wa o. We would have thought by now there will be at least 1000 people that are like elijah or jesus. But for where? 5 Likes |

Timflex: JW are the Christian sect I respect the most, but they are also flawed. They have repeatedly tried to predict when Jesus will return to earth, and each time they've been proved wrong. I enjoy reading Awake! and Watchtower, but I've known for years that all religion is flawed and biased. 1 Like |

drestoneokuta:Na wa o. You just assume atheists are living frustrated lives. Don't worry I will open a thread about my life as an atheist. The only thing I regret was ever being a christian. Now I have to keep explaining myself to christian friends and family, that is the only frustration atheism has brought to me. Family and friends keep thinking I am into ogboni or something and you know why? They see that all of a sudden I am doing well for myself. Now self employed, in fact I was one of those who benefited immensely from Jonathan's government, budget has been passed and I will continue making progress. I lived a life of poverty and shame as a christian. Even the pastor insulted me several times. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the church just to spite them that my level has changed. Atheism makes you more responsible, calculating and directly inspired to succeed. You adapt easily in all situations as there is no religious limitation. We don't have enemies. When I fail, I blame myself not satan or curses or anything spiritual. You see life in a better perspective and you are geared for success. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Weah96:Would have preferred you open a thread to discuss this so as not to derail the thread and to reduce distractions and skipping pages in-between. But i'm fine anyway if you are, and it seems the OP just quoted me along the same lines.i do wish i had more time for detail like i would, and i still hope to answer the OP's story and some other mentions. Nonetheless, the evidence of the God defined and revealed in the Bible is very clear, especially when you read the Bible as a whole not picking and choosing a few lines, and when you observe the actions of God and of Jesus. Evidently, actions speak clearer and louder than words. God is invisible, God works with faith, God is holy, and God is SOVEREIGN. |

HardMirror: Of course, God is ambiguous and the Bible clearly says so, great is the mystery of godliness. This is my exact point, you want God to be as straight and simple as ABC else He don't exist. You're disappointed He's not visible or shouting from the sky to prove His existence. He doesn't need to. Without FAITH, it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God, and those that worship God MUST worship Him in spirit and in truth. Plainly on HIS terms. He's not desperate. There are manifestations and miracles and the supernatural if you care to look for them. The problem is will you believe? When you listen to testimonies, do you believe? Do you believe that the Bible miracles happened? Why waste then the effort if miracles didn't save them in the past or present? 2 Likes |

HardMirror: For instance, on this same page, someone claims to be healed by God from epilepsy. i don't even care whether it is true or false as it adds nothing to me and removes nothing. Does God heal,of course yes. Is God/divine miracle the only source of healing? No. You're the one looking for healing and miracles. If this fellow proves to you that he had epilepsy and doesn't have it again, will you believe God? Will you not like the Pharisees of Jesus time look for a 1000 explanations to soothe your pain? Therein lies your hypocrisy. 2 Likes |
Re: PART 2: Pastor to Atheist: Why I will NEVER be a Christian again by HardMirror(m): 9:52am On May 18, 2016 |
Image123:FACT. My immediate younger brother was "healed" of epilepsy too. Not had any seizures in the past 13 years now. We praised God because we felt it was our prayers that were answered. But further research showed people do "out grow" epilepsy, it happens a lot without prayers or medical intervention, the seizures just seizes. So that is still an ambiguous case. Can we pls make new eyes for that boy without eyes? That won't be ambiguous. 1 Like |
Re: PART 2: Pastor to Atheist: Why I will NEVER be a Christian again by HardMirror(m): 9:57am On May 18, 2016 |
Image123:You don't just get it. If God is ambiguous and can only be known thru faith, don't you think this is an elaborate scheme to hoodwink people into believing something that does not exist? What if I told you Great Gwagwa if the creator of your God, but you can only understand Gwagwa thru faith? And don't worry, just like your God, Great Gwagwa is also ambiguous so don't ask for tangible or logical proves. |
Re: PART 2: Pastor to Atheist: Why I will NEVER be a Christian again by drestoneokuta(m): 10:00am On May 18, 2016 |
HardMirror:You are no longer a threat to Satan and is Kingdom (av already concluded that ur on their side) so why should he be bothered about u? because things are going well for u now isn't a prove that the "Christianity u practice was false" for all we care u could belong. But I'll say this to you. YOU LACK KNOWELEDGE IN THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT, GET WISDOM!!! I challenge u and any other Atheist to give God an answer in the questions he asked Job (I wrote some out earlier), just answer one and prove Him wrong.. If u can't, then keep mute for the rest of ur life!!! |
Re: PART 2: Pastor to Atheist: Why I will NEVER be a Christian again by HardMirror(m): 10:10am On May 18, 2016 |
drestoneokuta:Hehehe that is why my family thinks I have joined ogboni. Once people start making progress in life without religion, religious folk will always believe it is because they belong to the devil. Go on youtube and watch Job by darkmatter2525, sure u would enjoy the video. There is nothing special about questions God asked Job. Cos Jehovah did not create anything. Jehova is a creation of man (Jews) and he has to be presented as all powerful. No different from Zeus or Paku |
Re: PART 2: Pastor to Atheist: Why I will NEVER be a Christian again by Image123(m): 10:16am On May 18, 2016 |
HardMirror: There you go, people also die from epilepsy. God can make new eyes for your boy and ive consistently given you how. One if He pleases, two if you have faith and ask for it, and three if you find one with the gift of the Spirit. Like I've said, it proves nothing in the end. Jesus did more and yet was crucified. God didn't do for many and they still went on to believe Him and even be inspiration to others for centuries E.g Fanny J Crosby. So what exactly is your point again? 2 Likes |

HardMirror: An elaborate scheme that BREAKS the power of cancelled sin and sets the captive free is a good scheme. Jesus changed my life, brought me out of the miry clay of sin and put me where i am today. This same has been the testimony of many others through countless generations forever. If Great Gwagwa has something better up his sleeves, let him bring it on already or forever remain silent. 1 Like |

Same with many good decision one makes in life. Truth is my life has positively improved since becoming an atheist. We all have our life stories to tell. Christianity has a lot of good to offer so why not? I will recommend it to people even as an atheist. But I will always know that the God of the bible does not exist. |
