Godismysaviour:Christiana and hateful bigotry That's how u preach the "good news" abi no.wonder u guys are quickly losing members. you are of all men most miserable. The "BIBLE" says in the book of ROMANS 1:20, "Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse [when they stand before GOD at Judgement Day]". The bible said so many things also like kill ur stubborn kids, kill unbelievers, etc. Why do u uphold this over those verses This means that anyone who says that God does not exist is a liar and he himself knows that he lies because God put in every man what is called CONSCIENCE and this conscience tells everyone THE TRUTH when he SINS AGAINST GOD. And I know that when you wrote all your comments, you felt guilty in your heart.Let's get something clear here. There are 5,000 Gods. Which one do u mean? if u mean only Yahweh, then this is absolute bigotry. The same way those who worship Omenra think u have been mislead by the white man and u are feeling guilty for not worshipping the right God. Is disbelief in a deity now a sin waw that deity must either be egocentric or insecure. 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord:Bro this xtians tire me. They make shallow and unreasonable statements that when I read comments I pity the future of Nigeria if they are to be the majority. Winner01 is their torch bearer in delusion and ignorance and he honestly thinks that only xtians are not ignorant. He has ruled out islam, hindus, atheist, etc. Xtian: I am right Muslim: I am right Hindus: I am right Atheist: Any of us could be right or we could all be wrong. yet he thinks atheist are delusional, that guy need his pills. |

winner01:I have said this several times. Show ur evidence for a creator first. But when I look at the world I see no evidence for one. And moreover not everything created needs a creator. Look at the oceanic wave, how beautiful it is yet can u say it was created or it's just accidental product of nature |

ValentineMary: Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,these are the sons of God. The bible doesn't say as many as go to church or as many as are religious.but it says,as many as are led by the Spirit of God.so church or religion makes no difference.what makes a difference is THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE LIFE OF A MAN. For God Himself is Spirit and those that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.(John 4:24) The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nation's that forget God.(Psalm 9:17) But they that put their trust in the Lord shall be like Mount Zion that cannot be moved but abides forever(Psalm 125:1) If weather forecasts says it will rain later in the day,you would only be wise to take your umbrella with you to work,incase they are right. But folly is to adopt a wait-and-see mode and leave for work without your umbrella,because the rain will soak you down to your very pants-and,YES,it sure will rain and heavily for that matter. The same applies to heaven and hell if you are not sure.common sense advises safety first;so you are to err on the side of safety and worry about the veracity of the threat while already saved.SHALOM! 1 Like |

ValentineMary: I've really had a whole lot of experiences and reasons to believe that there's is sole creator of the universe; he's just and has no rival. Firstly, since I'm yet to see the physical pillars that hold the sky, then I owe my existence to the architect - the sole creator of the world. Secondly, for the fact that I can have a dream and witness its manifestation/reality, then I have every reason to believe in spirituality in particular and existence of the sole creator in general. More so, I've had a first-hand near extinction experience; a situation where it was just me alone and needed an intervention of a physical human force to help save me but non in sight, yet out of no where what I needed but couldn't get done by human help became possible through ineffable force in form of a renewable energy in me. So, I have got absolute reason to believe, profess and propagate the existence of a perfect sole creator; one whom you and I are individually imperfect manifestation of perfect him. 6 Likes |

winner01:In trying to make a point, u deny the beauty of waves. Okay lies are allowed in christianity u guys have been lying for 2,000 years so one more would not hurt. Well let's not talk of evolution. I don't want to strech this further. Anyways if we are to look at beauty in the world, we should also look at it's opposite. If there was a creator who created all things, did he also create HIV to destroy the immue system he created?? 1 Like |

ValentineMary:Does your mentor also lie? Once it does not agree with atheism its a lie shey? I understand. Why do you people mention simple occurences like ocean waves, sand dunes etc When they are not half as complex and the simplest of cells. Can you see that you are close-minded? Did God also create Ebola? Evil is consistent with the scriptures. God did not promise a rosy world or life. Where you even ever a christian. People will be sick, die, kill and be killed. Evil exists and will abound. You lack the basic knowledge of christianity. God address those who forcefed you. 2 Likes |

winner01:Did u not hear when I said I want to stay away from evolution discussion now U missed the point. I was talking on design but since u agree God made HIV and ebola that can kill kids, what then makes him good? is he God because he is God? or all he does is good?? If being God makes him good, then good has no real meaning to what we humans define it as but if all he does is good, then there is a contradiction here. |
Re: How I Found God: Marilyn Adamson (ex-atheist) Shares Her Experience. by ValentineMary(m): 5:11pm On Sep 25, 2016 |
Miladi:Let's make something clear here. Personal experience is not proof. It can't be replicated or analysed critically and can be distorted by the individual to fit what he/she wants to be true and not what reality is. I honestly think science has done a good job ans this. We now know it is density following law of floatation. Secondly, for the fact that I can have a dream and witness its manifestation/reality, then I have every reason to believe in spirituality in particular and existence of the sole creator in general.We all have dreams. It's just an interaction between our conscious, unconscious and sub conscious mind. If u dream manifest in real life, yipee!!! but it's not proof. It's just coincidence. Even dogs dream. I have also had a similar experience when once I was choking to death and an inner burst of energy saved me. That inner energy is just our will to survive. |

ValentineMary:Can atheism be discussed without evolution or religion? ValentineMary:Kids are being killed to you. You are a mere human. Admit that. If the creator of kids take them back, is there a fault in that? If you sell a phone (you didnt even create), are you accussed of heartlessness? God is goodness. The standard for Good. Jesus foretold of a world filled with suffering in the Bible, we are aware of this. How does it then disprove the goodness of God? Who even decided what is good or not? You? ValentineMary:God created Good and evil. It does not stop him from being all Good. I dont really get your point, have you never read in the scriptures that God is a consuming fire? Should i disbelieve because i dont like that idea? You see, your wishes and definations of who God should be wont change anything. It is what would have happened if the Bible was written by the human mind. We would have invented a God that would suit our wishes. 2 Likes |

winner01: Yes. I do it often. Kids are being killed to you. You are a mere human. Admit that.It actually disprove the goodness of God. Is God all loving and all powerful, u would ans yes. If that is the case, why has he not stopped suffering if he is all loving? if he is able but unwilling, is he all loving and if he is unwilling but unable, is he all powerful ? We humans right the law and that's why people have used a God theory to manipulate it to fill their selfish desire.
Actually that's just what happened. We invented a God that fits our imagination. A god that upholds men over women just like the ancient hebrews did, a God that likes the smell of burning flesh, a God that kills people for meat, a God that is insecure over petty human's worship, etc. Gods beaver like the people that worship them. |

ValentineMary:You do never. Atheism is empty. You know that. ValentineMary:Did God say anywhere in the Bible that our world will be free of pain and suffering or do you want to come up with just any argument that suit your bias? He wont stop suffering, its consistent with scriptures. And Stop using the dictums of people whose mental state you dont know. If God is this then he is that, bullshit. So God must fit into the wishes of his creation. ValentineMary:Humans have an innate law guiding their doings. Conscience. Its the moral code installed by our Creator. Kill that conscience and youare capable of justifying just anything. If God fitted your imagination, you wont be so disturbed and confused. You'll be satisfied. lol. Im sure you prefer a God that does not demand worship. Just swallow your pride dude, you didnt create yourself. 1 Like |
