God exists. He will never listen to the cries of unbelievers. Get your life saved today.

LaClicKLaBenDin:
My brother, the God who created the whole universe isn't a trivial being, He isn't someone who is disposed to prove himself to you. If His wondrous creation isn't enough proof, then seek him out and he shall reveal himself to you.

I am a witness to a lady whose genotype was changed from SS to AA, she is alive and living and she doesn't have any sign of being a sickle cell patient.

Come to my church I will show you a woman who had a swollen stomach for 8 months, she went to several places for test and yet every hospital told her she wasn't pregnant, but she sought the face of God and after prayers, she went for another test and was confirmed pregnant and given a date for delivery. Today she is with a baby girl; a living testimony. The documented evidence is there. You can visit all the hospitals she went for test and confirm yourself.

donbrowser:
Seun let's assume our belief in God can't do all these things, what can your disbelief do?

Aside that, I expect you to be learned enough to know the difference between Magic and Miracle.
Jesus could have turned stones to bread but think about why he didn't and your questions will be answered.

Seun:

According to 2 Peter 3:9, God doesn't want anyone to perish, so I don't understand why he would be reluctant to prove himself by answering prayers that no atheist would be able to explain away. According to Exodus, he proved himself to the Egyptian Pharoah 10 times. Why not us?


Was the genotype change confirmed by a medical lab? Sicklers may not show symptoms in-between their crisis periods.


Do you really think that the woman's belly got swollen due to some mysterious disease, and then due to her prayers, God decided to replace the diseased tissue with an 8 month old foetus? Don't you think it's more likely that she was pregnant all along and the tests were simply wrong?

Though I am believer in the Christian faith, I have always asked myself questions such as that. I have never allowed my belief to cap my critical thinking ability. I am not dogmatic believer. Many more questions like...

(1) Why didn't he destroy the devil in the first instance after he and other angels fell? Why would he allow the devil to lead Adam astray and wait till judgement day thousands of years later to judge mankind?

(2) Practically speaking, we have faar more non-believers on earth than true Christian believers. How can someone tell me that God won through the salvation brought forth by Jesus when satan has more 'disciplines".

(3) Why place a tree of the knowledge of good and evil on the same garden you have Adam and Eve. Mre common sense will tell you that if you don't want anything tampered with, you keep it out of reach. Even a 12 year old child knows that.

I can go on and on and on.

However, I still fully accept the Bible because God understands mysteries that we don't understand. He is God and he owes no man explanation. Besides, we are saved by faith not by sight (proof/evidence).

LaClicKLaBenDin:


Bro, I understand where you're coming from. One thing you should know is that, God created man and made him a free moral agent. God does not seek to force us to love him. He created us and gave us will power to do things out of love and trust for him, that is what played out in Eden.

If you read through the Bible you will notice that God always sets before man, good and evil and he will always clearly tell man to choose...that's teaching man to trust him.

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live; this what life is about, the ability for man to do God's bidding, even when he has an option.

Mixty:


Yea, that agelong, overused and oveflogged concept of moral choice is again at play here.

Jesus resurrected from death and appeared only to a select few. The others in the whole world are expected to "choose" whether to accept him or not.

God places devil amidst us to tempt us everyday and veer us towards the path of hell...but we are expected to "choose" to live above our natural desires of the flesh to obey his commands.

I grew up in this generation with 5000 religions /gods bein worshipped all around the world, with everyone so convinced about their religion without any glaring evidence on which is right. Yet I am expected to "choose" Yahweh because you were born in a christian envuronment and your "Bible" says so. What happens to Vishnu, Allah, Waheguru, Shiva, Zeus, Shakti, Genea, Genos, Rapithwin, Yarih, Ereshkigal, etc and other "God"s that people worship all around the world?

A man born in a muslim family somewhere in the middle east and knows only islam all his life is expected to "choose" to believe in Jesus just because your Bible tells you so somewhere in Nigeria where you were brought up in a christian community.

The concept of "choice" DOES NOT answer the question.

The concept of "miracles" does not also answer it, cos other religion also claim to experience supernatural occurrences too. Does "juju" not work atimes? Does that mean the god behind the "juju" is the true God.

The easiest way for the True God to show himself is for him to appear majestically wherever he is and wrought wonders. But my understanding the Bible tells me that won't happen.

Mind you...I am a Christian. I am a firm believer in Jesus. I am not just your usual dogmatic, non-thinking Christian.

LaClicKLaBenDin:


I'm sorry, but you don't sound like Christian at all, talk less a firm one as claimed.
And you think we are non thinking? Do you have an in-depth understanding of the Bible? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? Has he ever revealed himself to you in anyway? Answer these questions, so, I'd know exactly how firm a believer you are.

Mixty:

Lmao
And that's how they conclude matters when they find out they can't beat your sound argument. They revert back to the self-comforting dogma like "personal relationship", "experience", "revelation", "holy spirit", "life changing destiny", etc

Bros.....I was born a in very good Christian home, there was a time (though for a short duration) when I used to be called pastor. I have preached the Bible. I have been "spirit filled" before. I have read all kinds of Christian books growing up. I particularly liked A. W. Tozer. I am also fond of Rick Warren. I don't follow the popular Nigerian Christian "leaders" except Gbile Akanni cos they are mostly scammers and are only out to distort the truth for their own gains.

I know the Bible to a large extent bros. And let me steal your terminology. I have "experienced" the Word Though I may no longer claim to be a strong Christian, I still believe in the Christian faith however I question some of our dogmas. I won't keep my brain in a cooler.

I ain't gonna continue any argument. Bye and have a safe day...

Lamore:



well said bro you sound very intelligent and i like it, but don't forget many years before the temptation of Jesus there was a gravity defining miracle when an axe head that was drowned in the water came floating see 2kings 6:1-7. God is real bro,when you sing a worship song, you get a feeling,when you ask Him to come into your life even now,you get a calm feeling. That is also a miracle,try and see.

LaClicKLaBenDin:
The genotype was confirmed by different labs..

The pregnant woman was under witchcraft manipulation and her pregnancy was suspended in the spirit.

I am sure you don't want to experience God the way pharaoh did...no mortal man can stand against God's purpose.

Let me share another testimony that can be verified by medical records and different doctors. A lady was diagnosed with cancer of the breast and it was already getting to a critical stage and already had a lump. She was to under an operation for the lump to be taken out, but through prayers God caused the lump to melt and she was completely healed of cancer. She is well and alive today, married, with kids... I can go all day...Miracles that medical practitioners cannot dispute, because records are there... multiple records.

He that comes to God must first believe that he is...... You can't arrogantly ask your dad to give you a million, just so he can prove to you that he is rich.. If want God to prove himself to you, first, you have to humble yourself, pray and ask him for the revelation of himself.

honourhim:

What do we stand to lose if you don't repent? Our success in life and making heaven is not dependent on your repentance. It's an individual race. That we are preaching to you is out of obedience to the commandment of Jesus not that we dont have other things to do in life. 24 hours is even small for me to attend to all i have to do in a day.
Jesus did not bow down to Satan's request for miracle. Yet he did so many miracle at his own time not as Satan's request.

Edenoscar:
Can you see all the dummies above.You see them shouting and screaming every friday or sunday morning 'my redeemer liveth!,nothing is impossible for my God to do, you see them on tv advertising miracles,you see them on the street handing out fliers asking you to come to their own church and see live miracles, they tell you jesus turned water to wine.
Now the time has come for them to prove it, they start bringing out excuses from all corners trying to dodge the questions like oh you cant test God,oh God work in mysterious way and rubbish of that sort.

A miracle can be faked magicians do it all the time, those listed by seun you will agree with me can not easily be staged.
Now the question is this
CAN IT BE DONE YES OR NO

UrennaNkoli:

Your level of spirituality and magnitude of faith matters a lot. An ordinary church goer might not enjoy such luxury. Unfortunately, I'm not permitted to go further than this as the scripture has told us.
Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

Are you Seun Osewa? Are you really the one that created Nairaland? I don't believe you are. If really you are, prove it to me by doing these two things:
1. Sell off Nairaland to someone else.
2. Share every single penny made from the sales among Nairalanders.
Once these are done, i will believe that you're really the creator of Nairaland.

shumuel:


If Jesus Christ himself rebukes satan from making him to do such as you have listed then i tell you boldly that no Christian on Earth can, if any say he/she can then believe me they are not of Chirst and God is not what the use.


Don't get me wrong, Chritians could and do perform healing miracles but not as you have requested, healing is of God and if he so wish it will happen.

Lastly, Jesus Christ already said it ''This generation shall seek for a sign but none shall be given unto them''

i rest my case

bennyann:


Good one dear.

The Pharisees remained unconvinced of Jesus’ claims about Himself, despite His having just cured a demon-possessed man who was both blind and mute. Shortly after the Pharisees accused Jesus of driving out demons by the power of Satan, they said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here” (Matthew 12:38–41).

jnrbayano:


Do you actually understand God at all?

God doesn't do stupid things to try to prove to a group he exists.

...even if there are no more people to praise God, the stones will do as he already said.

God is not man that he need to prove himself to a group of people because he is shoved in the chest.
