The pastor was quick to answer that question.

I asked my pastor why did God never gave his people signs that the devil was about to strike his church in calabar that led to many deaths of his children

I asked my pastor why were the survivors thanking and praising the same God that let others die. Is it that those ones are the devils themselves

Till date my pastor is still confused

And if u not ready to give me a befitting answer why God let such tragedy struck in his house then don't qoute me pls

What makes you think that God didn't in any way give them signs concerning the collapsed church?. It is one thing for God to give you signs of danger and another thing for you to recognise such signs and avoid the danger.



Your number 2 question is so dumb. As a christian, death is inevitable and we can die at any place or time. And the living will continue thanking God till their own time of death.

wow! I love this!!

I didn't go to church today for so many reasons. But this very article has actually propelled me to have every reason to be in church and focus on the gospel of Christ Jesus every now and then.

Hallelujah!!!
grace of God abides in us

@OP I see your point but you shouldn't have used a childish excuse for the church member. Unless the person is not up to 15 years old.

emancipate yourselves from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our mind...Bob Nesta Marley

that's all I can say to this post

What has emancipating yourself from mental slavery got to do with worshiping your creator? You better be conscious of eternity because there is no chance of repentance after the grave. Heaven and Hell is real. Take it or leave it.

You ought to be telling self hating, inferiority complex stricken Nigerians who worship melanin-deficient people from europe, america and beyond to emancipate themselves from mental slavery and not people who are genuinely seeking to worship the I AM that I AM.

I personally will not stop worshiping and serving Jehovah. He is really all I have. Without Him in my life, I cannot live. I will continue to worship Him because Jehovah is ever faithful.

It's because:

1) God does not exist

2) There's no one out there who cares about us

3) WE ARE ON OUR OWN

4) The Universe is cold and indifferent

Mind you, I'm not a pastor, just a human being with COMMON SENSE.

And you need to stop asking your pastor those questions, because:

Whatever a theologian regards as true must be false: there you have almost a criterion of truth.

Even the native doctors don't stay in their house and see things. like one close to my house here 24/7 she always doing one activity or another, always fasting and locking herself indoors and doing her stuff to grow spiritually and satisfy their clients, yiu hardly see a fat witch doctor. In same sense people only want or need when they have problems or only on sundays they seek or worship God. You don't just expect God to send an Angel down when the heart of the majority is far from him or the church is not a "standard christ church" if u understand me. However death must always come. If God keep saving everyone because he or she is a christian. We would suffocated on this earth... i don't mean like it's a good thing they died but things like this won't happen in a church in the 1980s

Your Pastor should have asked you to open to the book of John 16:1-4.
I quote.
1. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
