One Solitary Life
Nearly two thousand years ago in an
obscure village, a child was born of a
peasant woman. He grew up in another
village where He worked as a carpenter until
He was thirty. Then for three years He
became an itinerant preacher.
This man never went to college or seminary.
He never wrote a book. He never held a
public office. He never had a family nor
owned a home. He never put His foot inside
a big city nor traveled even 200 miles from
His birthplace. And though He never did any
of the things that usually accompany
greatness, throngs of people followed
Him. He had no credentials but Himself.
While He was still young, the tide of public
opinion turned against Him. His followers
ran away. He was turned over to His
enemies and sentenced to death on a cross
between two thieves. While He was dying,
His executioners gambled for the only piece
of property He had on earth – the simple
coat He had worn. His body was laid in a
borrowed grave provided by a
compassionate friend.
But three days later this Man arose from the
dead – living proof that He was, as He had
claimed, the Savior whom God had sent, the
Incarnate Son of God.
Nineteen centuries have come and gone and
today the risen Lord Jesus Christ is the
central figure of the human race. On our
calendars His birth divides history into two
eras. One day of every week is set aside in
remembrance of Him. And our two most
important holidays celebrate His birth and
resurrection. On church steeples around the
world, His cross has become the symbol of
victory over sin and death.
This one Man’s life has furnished the theme
for more songs, books, poems and paintings
than any other person or event in history.
Thousands of colleges, hospitals,
orphanages and other institutions have been
founded in honor of this One who gave His
life for us.
All the armies that ever marched, all the
navies that ever sailed, all the governments
that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned
have not changed the course of history as
much as this One Solitary Life.

      There is no convincing you atheists is there? What further proof do  you need for you to accept the simple truth that there is a God? Or do you really believe the poo that the whole earth came about from one "big slam" as these lame scientists who would go to any extent to prove the points they spew in textbooks and documentaries lead you to believe? How can you be open to the truth when you are so close-minded and wont want to view things from other angles/perspectives? Bitter as it may taste on your tongue, you are a living witness that there is a God and the earlier you accept it the better it would be for you.
       
       
      OOH YEAH!!! I know. You guys have so much been blinded by all these tales of evolution and unbelievable rantings that life was created out of nothing. How plausible is that? Life begot life and nothing can be formed out of nothing. And to all of you saying that you would only come to terms with the belief that there is a God the moment he appears to you physically! oh Jeez!  Well  might be a shocker but this God we are talking about is a spiritual entity that sometimes takes the form of physical beings to appear to ONLY THOSE WHO ARE WILLING to see him and ONLY THOSE who keep an open mind. and that man/woman who said he/she is waiting for God to reach the mobile phones of everyone at the same time, you go wait tire because funny thing is that this God does not really care about proving a point to you (only if you are a special case---probably someone who has been destined to be of usefulness to him and you are trying to prove stubborn.) Do you go about begging people who have failed to acknowledge your existence to take cognizance of your presence? I bet you do not.

   It is so sad when I have to take some biology courses and even the professor himself believes that there is a God but still spits all the nonsense he vomits when he is treating evolution. How do you go about to explain the impeccable nature of the earth and the whole solar system i guess you would say by this same "LIFE-OUT-OF-NOTHING" theories. Our God works with faith and in Christianity, seeing is not believing, believing is seeing (yes, I said it!!!) I am sure he is watching you driving your fingers on your keyboard and laughing so hard at you coz you are failing to behold an easy truth. My own is that, nobody can tell me that there is no God coz I am a living witness of God's miracles. if you like, keep believing in your " THERE IS NO GOD " theories. na your toro!


    His word is there,  in the bible. if you are so interested in proving him non-existent, go read it. Keep an open mind. And if you still fail to see proof? well continue to wallow in unbelief. I believe that God will open your eyes one day. Peace.

fyomer:

@Harakiri,false!!!!,ignorance would never let you find out,because atheist enjoy wallowing in sin,with the fear of not wanting any Supreme being watching at them,you guys are looking for excuse to modernize long dead traditional belief in Africa"mind you this all started in the west" life continues after death,clutch your bedcover over your head tonight and give it a deep deep thought.Get back to me with positive reply. GOD LIVES.

Yeah Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur, "lame scientists," proved your point.

And to all of you saying that you would only come to terms with the belief that there is a God the moment he appears to you physically! oh Jeez!  Well  might be a shocker but this God we are talking about is a spiritual entity that sometimes takes the form of physical beings to appear to ONLY THOSE WHO ARE WILLING to see him and ONLY THOSE who keep an open mind.

As i stated earlier, "I'm not an atheist. There's a really big difference between an atheist and someone who just doesn't believe in religion. Religion to me is a bureaucracy between man and god that I don't need. But I'm not an atheist, no." I believe there's some force.
If you want to call it god fine (good for you), but well I don't believe god is a single parent, like the Christians do .
Religion has caused to much deaths in this world, dating from way back, its just not fair we kill people for what we are not sure about.
(christians "crusaders",
muslims "fanatics, terrorists etc"
and Every other religion in-between)

This is where I am. Thanks for putting it so well

harakiri:

Actually, the "gospel truth" is your so naive, you can't see beyond your nose. Atheists live a practical life based on facts. Like a poster asked you earlier, you didn't go through school and defend your projects based on what you heard alone. . .you proved your worth. If i were to ask you if your kids were really yours, you would waste no time in showing me the resemblances and DNA paternity test. Why is it different when it comes to religion? You are talking as if you know anything about religion whereas you're awareness is zilch! ! !

Pls, cool down and read this your post again, it look childish. You make no point and prove nothing. Am sorry.

Gbam. . .more like it.I was born a Christian and went 2 church every sunday with my Bible.At the age of 13,I begin to wonder where God is and how I'll know he does exist.I was tired of hearing what my pastor was teaching me and what my dad was teaching me as I wanted proof,so my much older friend shows me around the Bible where God spells out conditions to know he exists,since he is not going to be shoved around by his creature. . .so,I obey all he commands me 4rm his dos and don'ts. . .That was it

Harakiri, I have been following your posts and I must say you strike me as intelligent but (un)fortunately, we dont stand on the same ground when it comes to this issue. Thing is: Before ever you(in a general sense) took a further step to defend your projects, you must have believed that there is some credibility in whatever that project represents that was why you ever bothered to prove it. There are somethings I would like to chip in after these few lines, but let me ask you first: Have you ever believed in a God? (If yes,) what made you to shut down your belief in that God? And can you please tell me what religion  you belonged to (if ever you belong to one?) I am watching for your response with avid eyes.
Cheers.

There is no basis to believe in religion/ a supernatural being. The ONLY reason people believe in 'God' is because of what lies they have been fed from 'holy books'. No one has seen god, the all 'powerful God' is either weak to prevent natural disasters or mean enough to let it happen. Religious nut jobs will always give you the 'everything happens for a reason' line.  

harakiri:

If you doubt me, start by showing at least ONE credible fact to show that the bible and Christianity is not a man-made creation? Mind you, refering back to your "holy bible" is out of it. It's as ridiculous as defending the authenticity of Christmas with Santa Claus! ! !

You are not playing fair, haba!

Here we go again. the issues raised in this thread are so many that I dont even know where to start.
First @ sweetnecta . Sweetnecta asked whetehr their has been any bridge that designed itself. The answer is no.But that is a false analogy. A brigde is designed and built by teams of designers, engineers and workers of different deciplines who themselves had priors education and training on the laws of Physics as it pertains to building bridges. The brigde comes about as a result of the collaboration of these teams of engineers and the different processes over a period of time. A process is involved.
To sweetnecta and those who claim that only an omnipotent and omnipresent god could have created the universe, that is ok. But let me ask you this question, and pls pls answer me:How did the omnipotent god come about without a prior source or another designer? If God created himself, that is , he ramdomnly appeared out of nothing, then why couldn't have the universe appeared out of a random big slam as well? Do you see how your blind faith belief contradicts itself. You believe that god self-created himself(CAME TO BE FROM NOTHING) and at the same time you beleive that the universe could not have come  to be from of nothing. How do you explain that contradiction?

And what is this "truth"?

Also, what's up with the American flag images? Kinda corny if you ask me.

God should descend a big bible from heavens for everyone to read. God authorized VERSION of the hit book #1 selling story titled "The Holy Bible" I'll believe him instantly.  But unfortunately that dude is a coward.  He's the most selling fictional character and world most popular imaginary friend!
