I am not trying to offend anyone but if you faith is not strong you better keep off.
It's becoming obvious that the power of the supernatural in today's world is weakening
Demons, Powerful psychics and so many things do not have as much influence as they had some days ago
Today It is as if God's power itself has weakened too. We no longer see the All powerful, All merciful and All loving God talked of old days. People have blinded themselves in their different narrow paradigms.
Un-debatable questions like
If God is all powerful, then He is able to do whatever He wants (and can therefore remove suffering).
If He is all loving, then He obviously wants the best for people
(and therefore does not want them to suffer). And yet people suffer.
How can that be explained?

An English philosopher David Hume, pointed out that the problem was stated some twenty-five hundred years ago by one of the great philosophers of ancient Greece,

Epicurus:
Epicurus’s old questions are yet unanswered:

"Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is impotent.
Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Whence, then, evil?"

All these are a challenge for even the best who stand in faith and cannot be answered without claiming that the answer is a mystery, which in fact - in this modern world, not an answer

The answer is that God is a supreme being. The only intelligent agent who knows how things must be done. All that happens is as a result of what He wants. You are not of the same intellectual level and therefore there are some things you cannot understand about Him. But listen to the words of those men wiser than you, who have experienced Him if you have not. That man in his money-worship began to use Christianity as a way of making money is not God's fault. God gave you a brain so you will be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. Just ask for his mercy and grace. The more man sins the further away from God he goes and the harder it becomes for him or her to believe in God. See how far we have been going from God for years. It was like this in the days of Jeremiah. But after some time, Jesus came and revived the people. He assured them that heaven still waits and told us all the truth He could afford. Today we're going back like the old days again. Going back and dying in faith as prophesied in revelations. And the giant globalization is bringing every act of immorality to everywhere. And the smart fallen angel is trying to blind us on the iniquities going on. instead he makes people to focus on criticism of ancient traditions and moral beliefs. DON'T FALL A VICTIM!
START LIVING THE TRUE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE! BECOME A CHRISTIAN TODAY!

Its simple, Evil prevails when good men do nothing.

God expects us to do something, He gave man dominion over everything that exist, the truth is evil is done by man, and its only man that can stop evil,God is there to guide man to do right while the devil is there for man to do evil. Man can't do it alone, Man needs help to do it, as man can't do good without God's help so also he can't do evil without the devil's help.

God steps in when man calls on Him, but if  man thinks he can do it all by himself(pride), God doesn't interfere.

At times I wonder why people reason the way they reason. May God help us all.

@Nezan: Amen o!

@ccollins: You're welcome cheesy wink

@sleek: That's the point. People find it hard to understand the doctrine of the church, and I blame it on those who had carried on the churhc from dividing the church instead of resolving the issues. Prohibiting study of the acts carried out in the church ad banning certain kinds of books.

We need re-education to sustain our country and protect it from the negative effects of globalization before we get lost. As the Bible said. The time is still coming for the King of the South to Rule. Africa will rise on day, we will show them that even after 400 years of carrying and carting away our human and physical/geographical resources for 400years, especially in Nigeria, we still have everything in tact. As my friend says: 'This is rock nation. Pledge your allegiance' We must not continue to be fools. If you have a talent serve your country with it. Don't forget your fatherland. Currently Europe helped Sudan to develop a solar power project with some cash so they can power Europe and North Africa. I don't think if they will have agreed if the reverse was the case yet they claim globalization while they are just a bunch of envious murderers!
