Did Noah preach to the babies? What about Samuel's instruction to Saul to kill everything in Amalek including babies and pregnant women? And you people will be condemning Boko haram.
nt even that one sef...
Look at herod's murder of thousands of babies because of jesus...
Yahweh knew of it nd acted on his knowledge and saved only jesus..
Left the other babies to die...
Is the guy nt mad?
He cud have killed herod and saved those babies...
He cud have directed the wise men nt to mock herod...
He cud have sent an angel to save the babies
he cud have messaged all the families to also take their kids to egypt..i can go on and on...im nt even ominipotent nor ominiscient..bt i can give a thousand ways he cud save those kids...
Talk more of an ominiscient nd ominipotent god who was too weak to do anytin nd watched...
Is that not a fable?

Only God knws weda they r real or fake.... Did you read the part when the Bible says "
Judge not (MATHEW 7)

Have u also read 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 - 14The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

Your judgment wnt do anything to them.... They are not perfect.... Dont forget Roman 2 : 1 -

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that
judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest
thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Jesuobu:
The thoughts of heaven alone gives you energy and can make you feel like flying without wings. It's the best source of motivation I have ever seen. When you think of heaven, fear dissappear and you get anxious to do good.

To do unbelievable things is simple. Take your mind out of this earth and put all your focus on heaven. It’s analogous to focusing on the finish line instead of just your next step in an athletic race. That’s what Usain Bolt does. I have made heaven my goal and the motivation I get now is not a synthetic one but divine. Unbelievable wisdom and understanding.

Read Matthew 6:33 and you will know why this is so.

And it says Matthew 6:33 and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Are you not meek Bro?? When will people learn, for crying out loud!! If your primary concern is heaven, why pursue earthly things? Why do you go to school? Do you need grammar and school to enter your heaven? If your not working and making money, I'm sure you will soon begin to look for a job when you are done with school. What for? brother, be serious for once.

There's really no choice. You shouldn't make up tales in your head and claim people have a choice to believe or not. That's nonsense.

You claim there's a heaven? Have you been there? Where is it? What goes on there? Why is death the only way to reach its gates?
What do you know?
There is far more to this life, this physical world than meets the eye.

the "meek" is referring to the humble and gentle people. Loving Jesus will not stop you from achieving your dream and education qualifications but will make things easier for you. I personally love Jesus and one of my top targets is the Nobel Prize and won't rest until I achieve it.

When you love Jesus, you don't use your strength any longer but the strength of God which means, you will work less and achieve more. Most successful people you see today are not because they are most hard worker but simply because of the grace of God they have.

I need not remind u that ur god killed a man in the bible because he refused to impregnate his brothers wife..

Okay, look at it this way.Heaven is suppose to be a paradise, a place of reward for the righteous and Jesus Christ, the disciples and other prophets emphasised on the importance of making heaven and you think the ultimate reward is SEX such an earthly activity.It is place for believers to live in eternity with God.Why would God want us to live a righteous and at the day our ultimate reward is to "Kerewa" with 72 virgins?

..so what will you be doing in heaven then?? Singing praises to the creator; forever and ever.

I think this will get boring after; say, 65 million years don't you

There is definitely afterlife.
The very sad thing is that it will be too late for some people when they realize this.
There is heaven and there is hell.
You will only make heaven if you have been forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and live a holy life till the rapture occurs or breathe your last.
Else, the destination is hell.

Now, the time is short. There is no time to argue anymore. I will advice all sinners to repent and give their lives to Jesus Christ.

Very soon, sinners will watch and read the news of the rapture on tvs worldwide. By that time it will be too late.

You have a choice to make before the rapture occurs or breathe your last.

May the Lord help you to make the right choice.
