Jesuobu:Darkness is not the absence of light at least according to Genesis Chapter 1 vs 3 - 4. There was darkness, then God created light, and He still had to separate the light from the darkness. |

1 Corintians 10:10 There has no temptation taken you, but as such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above that you are able, but will with temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Like |

@Afrokan you did not answer the question. When a wrongdoer/offender is punished. That punishment to the offender/onlookers, is it a good or a bad thing. Still waiting for your response. But do not forget the punishment is meant to discipline or correct. Please don't forget humans are like clay in the hands of the universal Porter. We have no reason to ask or talk back against him. Still he gave humans opportunity to question him, examples include Job, David, Habakkuk e.t.c. Finally read Isa 33:22 For Jehovah is our Judge our law giver and King. So if you have a law as perfect as the one he gave humans let us see. |

@Afrokan you highlights the wantom killing of the firstborn son of the Egyptians by God. Then what right do Pharaoh and the Egyptians have by destroying all male of the Israelites because the Israelites are becoming numerous. Please God the owner of the earth is the landlord of the earth. If the tenants can't live by the rules they are thrown out of the house simple. That is why when the Israelites too go against rule of engagement when at war they suffer terribly. No double standards, simply Justice. |

Lennycool: Bros relax naa.... God is full of compassion and mercy Psa 103:8. He have a reason for everything he does. At the end of that story was the moral of the job lesson and that is our concern here! For the Scripture was written for our encouragement and edification! God bless you. |

Jesuobu: If Evil has a purpose in the life of Christians do you think great evils as well have a great purpose? |

Jesuobu: Why do bad thing happen to good people? Because when bad happens to bad nobody sees it. You remember when Jesus says... This is not unto death but that the Son of Man should be glorified. |

dblackninja: I see your cleverness but the things of the spirit are not for the carnal minded but for those who seek him in truth and in spirit(John 4:24), you might bring up all your mockery against what God has done but those who obeyed him faithfully were never struck and they enjoyed his favour.His thoughts are not our thoughts, neither his ways our ways.(Isaiah 55:8-9) |

Sacluxpaint: Those are some of the passages being used to try and justify god's inadequacies. Killing 42 children just for mocking a man, killing a man instantly just for having a good intention of protecting the ark of covenant from falling What a very angry god!! Or what about manipulating his prophets to lie and give false prophecy?? I don't blame you because you're afraid of accepting the truths about this god character to avoid maybe being smitten by his evil harmer (that's the fear god use in keeping his followers in line), hence you will opt out to say, his ways are not our ways. A child dies at birth, a Christian brother dies of just malaria despite prayers upon prayers, your loved one had a terrible accident while crossing a road which resulted in amputation.... Typical christians consoling words: Ooh don't worry dear, god works in mysterious ways you know. His ways are not our ways. He knows his reasons for everything. Does god ever protect his followers? Is he even capable?? It's high time you guys wake up from slumber and face reality, not defending the stories made by some ancient men from a certain culture with every strength in your body. God was created by man and still defended by the same man & I begin to wonder, can't he at least defend himself? But no he choose to gossip and play bets with man. I seriously pity JOB 4 Likes |

To those of you quoting Isaiah 45:7 "I form light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do all these things" If you read the previous verses before God was giving reason why He said that(isaiah 45:7) In Isaiah 45:3 "I will give thee the hidden treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I the Lord which call thee by thy name, am the God of isreal" God was simply trying to show His Almighty ness, He even gave a warning to those who are challenging Him and doubt His existence In Isaiah 45:9. Just read the whole chapter and understand God's Almighty ness. 1 Like |

dblackninja: Please search for Sixthsense on Nairaland, he was a hardcore atheist than maybe yourself till he encountered God, remember Saul that was persecuting the Christians, when he had an encounter with God, he turned a new leaf. The Job you talked about, when he went through his trials, wasn't he rewarded much more than he had in the beginning? I won't go on preaching, I respect your views, but when you encounter God YOURSELF, you will know that he is real. Personally, not a false testimony, but I have encountered God personally. You just need that encounter brother. |
Re: Why God Allows Bad Things To Happen To Good People by dblackninja: 9:30am On Sep 13, 2016 |
Sacluxpaint: Because you requested I searched for him & saw the moniker thesixthsense with his supposed repentance thread. I decided to read the thread and look at his posts, guess what...nothing to corroborate his story, nothing even showed he was an atheist in NL or elsewhere prior to the thread. Now am not saying that his story is a lie but the content was funny. Imagine a thread that supposed to be a life changing encounter of God by an atheist [what!! an atheist met god ] was more like a christian that lost faith in his idol only to come back later to the same idol willingly begging for forgiveness. Imagine The Saul you mentioned in our mythology book, didn't you see how his encounter with God was like? Now liken that to thesixthsense encounter with his god. Was there even an encounter? Read his thread and answer the question for yourself. Now look at the supposed miracles he received after coming back to his god. They were: -Joy of god -Peace of jesus -Love, free from sins, wisdom....bla bla bla What the heck were those^^^ Well yeah right they are the only things christians can claim without receiving a good rebuttal. *By the way did you noticed that he prayed & prayed without receiving any answers (he was sincere enough to mention that) but kept consoling himself with the bible and deluding himself that god is the ultimate and he will never leave him again...Isn't that just awesome The Job you talked about, when he went through his trials, wasn't he rewarded much more than he had in the beginning? I won't go on preaching, I respect your views, but when you encounter God YOURSELF, you will know that he is real. Why must an all seeing and all knowing god toy with an innocent man's life? To what end? For his amusement?? I ponderrr... Let's look at the highlights of the story shall we? Correct me where am wrong: •God called a meeting (that's how they decide the affairs of man on this little planet ) • His sons gathered including his most beloved son, Satan, who he gave most powers to •He started boasting about an innocent man who fears him [(perhaps to avoid the wrath of god not knowing that he is in for a looong thing)] •Satan said it was because god blessed job and proffers a test on the man for an all knowing god to know whether job will curse & rebuke him. •God accepted the wager. **NB: The two wagers from both meetings culminated in what we later know as the ultimate gamble on a man's life ever known till date. • And the mighty hammer from god descended on job, for it was god's power & authority that was used to perpetuate the evil deeds. (So bad ) •Job suffered and prayed, no alleviation was coming forth and said nothing will make him rebuke god (just like thesixthsense pointed out in his thread that even if god doesn't answer his prayers, he will never err again). At least job was still thankful that he was alife. •After all and all, he won the bet (he knew he will win of course after all, he's all knowing) showing his most beloved son that people are still fearful of him. Is that all Just to over blow his ego, an all knowing god subjected an innocent man to all those sufferings... I just love this god * That reminds me Johnydon22 try and finish your untold story abeg Personally, not a false testimony, but I have encountered God personally. Oh you have encountered god personally? Abeg share & you might win a soul. Hope yours wasn't seeking out shadows and craving for attention to what is not even aware of your existence like that of our brother thesixthsense You just need that encounter brother Am more like waiting for him to encounter me, and not seeking out shadows 3 Likes |

@Raphiemontella Because we read God made Pharaoh's heart hardened. Have you ever asked was Pharaoh himself willing to let the Israelites go despite all the trials Egyptians faced? God only used Pharaoh stubborn tendency to show his mightiness not a case of God making him hard hearted. |

achorladey:did you even do what i said? Read gen 15...god already ordained it to be so from pharaoh's birth... He was a toy ...just for yahweh to flex his muscles... Well like i said...its fiction..no evidence whatsoever of the exodus in reality |
