God Doesn't Make Sense! by bennyann: 1:48pm On Jan 29, 2018 |
This thread is for true believers, those still standing firm in Christ, those doing all they can not to give up on God. It's also for those who have fallen from the grace and those about to fall. We're in an era where the Christian race is being extremely beautified by most churches as though there wouldn't be thorns on the way side. We hear mostly about prosperity, how you can never be poor or fall sick as a child of God. We hear about how we're going through tough times because we never speak positively continuously concerning our challenges. Contrary to what we hear or believe, these are the kind of adamant doctrines that make many fall when they don't achieve their expectations. Have you been in a position where fellow Christians feel you didn't pray enough that's why things aren't working out? Or in a position where you've been told you haven't learnt a lesson yet that's why a particular unwanted situation persists? Or just like job, you were told you're going through whatever you're going through because you've sinned, so you should confess when you know you've not? Are you in a position you feel or know you've done all you can for God by living a pleasing and righteous or holy life unto your maker, yet it's like your life is being played on a realistic screen as though you're the worst sinner on earth because of what you're going through? Have you ever felt confused about God at à point because of your expectations from Him? Have you ever felt betrayed by God because you know how much you love Him and you've proved it even in your secret life when no one's looking? What am I trying to say? Are you in a position where you ask God, why? Why me? Well, these are the things Christians don't want to talk about or they try to hide. Especially those who give their all to God. Let's talk about these things and encourage one another in Christ. Let's not act like Job's friends who gave a counsel in a way not pleasing to God, only to increase the pain of Job. For those in such situations, I recommend a book by Dr. James Dobson titled, holding on to your faith even WHEN GOD DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I will only share the chapter one here and I wish you get a copy of the book so you can go through all the chapters and understand the Christian journey, what it means to carry your cross and follow Christ and also understand the Christian journey is not all about bread and butter, sugar and tea. Trust in God through the storms. Neither life nor death, neither pain nor joy should separate you from God. Just like Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego, we will say with determination and willingness in our hearts, that even if God DOESN'T rescue us (not that He CAN'T) , we would not bow to any other gods neither would we bow to self. Remain in Christ as I share chapter one with you. And those who have read the book before can also contribute if you want to. May the sacrifice of Christ not be in vain in our lives. Amen! 1 Like |

See ehn, anyone worshiping a loving, all knowing and all powerful God must have his life reflecting it. Suffering and calamity is proof that there is no sky daddy who has got anyone's back. |

There is no God. If there were, you shouldn't care cause he doesn't. How can there be a God and yet his creation is in turmoil? Quit believing in imaginary things and see the reality of things. There's no proof of Gods existence except for some old book with so many inconsistencies, horror and contradictions. How an African man believes that a Jewish man came to die for his sins is the heigh of ignorance. You guys better face realities. |

Emmytes: Have you not heard that the world has been given over to satan? For a short while? Why are you people so stupid and idiotic and unreasoning? Atheism is the new fashion, the proud badge of stupidity worn by certificated, mis-educated, and linear thinking zomboid idiots 2 Likes |

MrPresident1: Hahaha You see how you get defensive and start throwing insults when your religion is criticized yet your so called bible asks you to be meek and gentle like a lamb. Seems like your going to hell my friend. Religion is a cult and nothing more and has brainwashed you peeps, you can't even use your brain to think and make logical conclusions. Have you ever stopped to wonder if you'll still be a Christian if you were born in a Muslim home?!? There is a 99% chance that you'll end up being a Muslim so does that make your religion any better than the rest?!? You have no concrete proof that your god exists except that you've been told from birth and read it from one old book. Same way I believe that Voldemort exists cause I read it in the Harry Potter novels. 5 Likes |

Emmytes: You are nothing but a brainwashed idiot. Who is your meek and gentle? Have you not heard that when Jesus returns he is coming to make mincemeat of idiots like you who have given your lives to godlessness? Are you wiser than your father or your mother who are religious folk, who believe in God, or do you think your parents are fools? How did we end up with so many fools in Nigeria, how did this happen, what is the meaning of all these nonsense? 4 Likes |

Another i will recommed is the Sovereignty of God. Arthur W. Pink. God can do what ever he pleases to whoever, whatever, whereever, however. We are His properties. If He decides you die immidiately you are born, you die. Besides, there's no death in the real sense. |
Re: God Doesn't Make Sense! by Emmytes(m): 12:40am On Jan 30, 2018 |
Emmanystone: Lame So this is the defense you can come up with. You fanatics are always quick to curse/insult people who refuse to be brainwashed into believing in fairy tales and myth but it doesn't change a thing. Let your imaginary God defend himself for once, is he dumb ?!? Your God is dead and I'll shout it to the end of the earth if need be. Deal with it. |
Re: God Doesn't Make Sense! by Emmanystone: 7:41am On Jan 30, 2018 |
Emmytes:You are insignificant in the scheme of things. What you do or say doesn't count in your own immediate family circle, what makes you think it will matter here? Get lost. |
Re: God Doesn't Make Sense! by frank317: 8:46am On Jan 30, 2018 |
Emmanystone: Oh most significant one in the scheme of things. You are so much more important because you believe the creator of the world started off in isreal and sent his son as a jew ro die for you african. You are so important to your creator God that you have to have a thread where u encourage one another on how to deal with the sufferings both u and the unimportant ones experience here on earth. Read more read more! "The sovereignty of God" "where is God when it hurts" figure ur God out in ur head and manage ur sufferings while u feel most important in the scheme of things. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Emmanystone: i feel your pain It hurts to be told how weak and powerless your Imaginary sky daddy really is. This thought scares you more than the thought of hell itself. I used to be like you until I grew some brain. Your god is a farce, a character invented by humans to control half wits like you. He should speak for himself but he won't cause his deaf, dumb and dead. |

I can't seem to complete the first chapter. The anti-spam bot keeps hating on me and it's kind of making me suspicious. I'm just tired of trying to type over and over again. Nairaland is not doing justice to me and this has been going on for weeks now if not months. I think I should give up commenting at this juncture. FFor Christians, I do not mean you should accept the level you are when you don't like it, fight your way through, trust God through it, remember His promises and think back on everything He's done for you that you can't deny His Godliness but don't ever let the reason for leaving God be because He never yielded to your expectations. We should know God makes sense even when we think He doesn't. Please try get the book and read and you'll understand better. Love wins. Love is the secret. Therefore love God with all your heart and soul and everything within you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgWJAlC-9xY |

Emmanystone: TThanks big sis. I've missed you. Let me reply the new year greetings here. I saw it yesterday. Sorry I couldn't reply on time. I'm just tired of the bans which is so unnecessary because it discouraged and discourages me from commenting. I wish you a year of uncontainable love, outstanding joy and indescribable peace. May this year bless you with an exceedingly stand out testimony like never before in Jesus name Amen! Will go grab that book now. Thanks |

MrPresident1: You are actually showing yourself as the brainwashed idiot. You believe in this imaginary angry thing, but have no proof about its existence whatsoever. Talking about fools, some parents are proven fools and some are not. Because our parents believe in god means the children have to believe in it? Your great grand parents must be fools then for believing in Traditional gods and your parents must also be fools for not following in their footstep. 3 Likes 1 Share |

bennyann: God doesnt make sense? hmmmm. Not really "The information or knowledge" we have about God is what does not make sense. For example, If you were told that after fasting God will answer your prayer. You fasted and God did not answer your prayers, that means that the information that was given to you was incorrect. 1 Like |
