Sorry, but the evidence that I see with my own two eyes do not agree with what you claim

Just reading through this thread will show you a supposed believer who can not seem to obey simple "love your neighbour", not to talk of his enemies, and definitely not his atheist father-in-law!

I'd go even further and state that it is precisely because he believes that he can't obey just like the believing Levite and the believing Priest also couldn't obey because of their beliefs.

Fortunately, i do not speak for the individual. i refer to the Scriptures.

shadeyinka:

No sir!

I assume an atheist will wish to communicate what he considers as the TRUTH!

Do you think that a truthful Atheist will communicate bible stories as REAL?
With a truthful Atheist say that Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead and cast out demons?

An atheist will rather report bible stories like the story of Santa Claus!

Assumptions make an ass out of u and me. Stop assuming what you know nothing about. Do you think every atheist is out there doing evangelism like you guys? Do you think every atheist is eager to convert others.

In telling my children stories I do not need to specify if it is real or not, they are still children but as they grow up they'll develop critical thinking skills to figure out stuff for themselves. I guess you'd disdain evolution to your kids so you think atheists would do the same. Unlike you, I am not insecure in the things I hold as true. If my children wish to contend them I would not become wroth and begin to threaten them will eternal punishment, they'll be be free to contend anything with me when they are old enough to live their own lives.

No need to answer altar call 20x a year if you received power to be a child of God. Jesus Christ came to save you FROM sin, not just to continue forgiving you 20x a year. Such a person is ignorant and shortchanging himself.

SMH.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan is about the folly of believing without understanding, but I will understand if you don't see it that way since believers hardly ever do.

There is a reason however, why the followers of Christ are known by the fruits they produce and not by the crap they believe inside their heads.

SMH.

Lol, that's how i SMH that year when someone was talking about a phone that will be more powerful than my computer. When God saves you from sin, you overcome almost effortlessly. You don't use muscle power to fly a plane.

You are on a totally different wavelength entirely. What's with you and the good Samaritan, does he happen to owe you money? You try so hard to want to talk about him. Are you from Samaria by some chance?

budaatum:


I understand. Not everyone is sufficiently equipped to love their father-in-laws not to talk of their neighbours or their enemies.

That is why we continue to preach the Gospel of Love of our Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah to you so that you may one day be saved by Grace. Amen.

We wrestle NOT against flesh and blood...

The physical parent of my wife cannot be my enemies.
BUT
The Spiritual father of my Atheist wife is my Permanent Enemy. Not ever welcome in my home.

Is their a scripture that says we should love Satan?

I'm talking about a Parable of the Jesus Christ the Word that you say must be believed but you fail to focus on the believing priest and the believing Levite Christ spoke about and say I am focusing on the unbelieving pagan Samaritan that Christ said emulate?

Now, if that is not deflection just so you can say you never heard what convicts you in your own heart, Lol!

Is there a scripture that says you should label others as satan to justify not loving them?

triplechoice:


I have asked you this question before and would ask again
Is not possible for the unbelieving spouse to convert to Christianity?

Why is it difficult for you to see this possibility?

Nothing is impossible!
It is even possible that an atheist encounter Jesus by himself.

However, because GOD doesn't compel anyone to know Him, the probability is not certain. Even with 1% unconvertion probability can do a great damage

Good so I hope you shelve the arguments where you come and say something has very low chance of happening therefore god.

It will be highly unjust for God to force any man who rejects Him to now have to be with Him for all eternity!

God doesn't force people to love Him. Love can't be forced. It has to be given freely.

i focus on Jesus, not on priests, levites or Samaritans. Their lesson is well noted though and hardly has any bearing contrary to the points i have made. i said you should obey the Bible if you truly believe it. What has that got to do against the parable. i said divorce is not the will of God, what has that got to do against the good Samaritan?

This thread is doing numbers ��, and I guess this is meant to be a question.. because if this was actually a true post, whoever would be posting it would have whole lot more to say than rice and beans, it's a whole lot moreeeeee complicated than that.


I wouldn't advise if actually.

Sadly, christians believe in the premise that one is bound to burn forever.
I'm sorry, but if she truly loves you, the strength of her love, would only increase the strength of her worry for you. Bacause no one know the future.


Also. You would have problems raising children. Unless you're comfortable having children who believe in a mirage.


Generally just even raising children in Nigeria. I really hope we'll be able to raise successful and happy children, considering the fact that they'll be the exception. Everyone else would be part of a religious social clique. Except for them.

Sorry for bothering you, image. You focus on Jesus.

The fact the op says so little is exactly all op had to say in this thread.

Rather than allow satan into his home, he very wisely resisted temptation like a person with God in their life ought to do.

And rather than raise mindless religious sheep, he will raise powerful use their God given mind children who will be fishers of humans to the Glory of the Lord God Almighty, though many religious people here will not see them as such.

And I am telling you that God is in the heart of her very atheist husband.

And I trust that the Holy Spirit will minister to you so you understand.

I just wanted to show you that I don't need to start telling my children this or that story isn't real, they are not ready for that neither will I force viewpoints on them when they can not yet reason. You guys on the other hand do the opposite because you are insecure.

Children develops mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, experts assert that training them even before they're born is essential!

That's my point.. you won't impose your viewpoints on them till they can reason which is the most dangerous time for them especially from an authority figure who is responsible, revered, respected and trusted (as I can see from the video you share).

If I were you as a father, my duty is to help my children to become wise. Wisdom is an all-round knowlege of how to. This must certainly include the area of faith except we want to fool ourselves. In that way, it's much easier to free our children from the discipline of going to church (when they could be watching TV) or fearing God (when they could live without fear of consequence) etc.

It is far much easier to be faithless than to be faithful. One required discipline and other requires nothing.

I have no problems with any Atheists desiring to marry a true Christian. But I have a strong aversion for a true Christian desiring to marry even a non committed Christian not to speak of an Atheist who is at the extreme end of unbelieving.

Should God force LordReed to live with Him for eternity (simply because he married a Christian)?
That would be an eternity of miserable existence for you wouldn't it?

I didn't ask you that question, that was someone else.

If a god exists that can make me live for eternity what does it subtract from him to let me eternally make my own choices even if it means not living with him? Is he an insecure abusive personality that can't stand to bear that someone doesn't choose him?

You really do not understand why Christ said "Go and do like the pagan unbelieving Samaritan", do you?

Yet you think you trust and obey Christ that you do not understand and you refuse to learn that you are just the lordist shadeyinka.

It is more dangerous to indoctrinate children because they have no tools yet to critically examine what they are being indoctrinated with.

If I were you as a father, my duty is to help my children to become wise. Wisdom is an all-round knowlege of how to. This must certainly include the area of faith except we want to fool ourselves. In that way, it's much easier to free our children from the discipline of going to church (when they could be watching TV) or fearing God (when they could live without fear of consequence) etc.

All of that can be achieved without religious instruction. This fear that atheists want to live without fear of consequence is a lie that you tell yourselves because you are afraid of taking responsibility. I teach my children to be responsible and disciplined without any threats of eternal punishment and I can see the effect. They are well behaved even as they children and are prone to childish errors.

It is far much easier to be faithless than to be faithful. One required discipline and other requires nothing.

No, it is far easier to depend on the structure built on the tyrannical strictures of a supposed eternal Big Brother than it is to place your own destiny in your own hands and mind.

I have no problems with any Atheists desiring to marry a true Christian. But I have a strong aversion for a true Christian desiring to marry even a non committed Christian not to speak of an Atheist who is at the extreme end of unbelieving.

This separation is what you Abrahamic religious fanatics use to create this conflicted world we live in. In time past nobody heard of religious wars but with advent of Christianity, Islam and to a lesser extent Judaism, religious conflict became the driver for even more societal disruption. Your stance on marriage is indicative of this disruptive effect you guys perpetrate.
