[size=8pt][/size]It is a pity that people reason this way about the bible and God. I doubt what life you live on a daily basis as a human being and the way you are directed. You need to read the book of 2Tim2:22-26 and 2Tim3. I pray that God will touch your spirits and bring you to the light IJN.

naira&kobo:
if u knw Jesus and his statements, u would knw that he prefered speaking in parables. That he for instance said 'eat my body and drink my blood' doesnt mean u should go looking for blood like vampires do

No, just pretend that the wine and bread they give you are the blood and flesh. The whole thing is built around deluding yourself anyway.

Now what happened to this Pastor leaves much to be desired: firstly, Jesus was asked by Satan to turn water into bread<,after all it was written in the scriptures. Jesus rebuked him by saying "it is also written that you shall not put the Lord your God to test", which is exactly what that the "pastor" did. 2ndly, note that the guy was doing a tradition: passed over by his father (who incidentally died of the same cause): this was not scriptural either. My point? All you quick-mouthed fellas that are looking for an excuse to discredit God and find excuse for their unrighteousness shd think again: God is not a man, he wont be dragged into your de-illusion or vain arguements. The pastor was completely ON HIS OWN!!! angry

mazaje: Religion always wins. . . .Christians are now throwing the bible under the bus. . .

Mark 16: 17-18 reads, "And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

The guy out of his faith followed what the bible said and it failed him as always. . .Now the people here are just blabbing any how. . .The same people will talk about extra ordinary healing like their god rising people from the dead etc but when you tell ask them about clear cut healing, like healing of amputees and restoring their amputated limbs back the same goons will begin to blab. . .religion always wins. . .People will always provide excuses for their god even when his alleged word fails. . . .Religion is pure delusion. .
i am not surprised at ur comment. Even devil also have a way of using the bible against the children of God. I only pity the devil that's operating in u. I just pray u confess at the point of ur death or before u leave this world.

You call yourself "crackhouse" and then have the nerve to say that someone has the devil in him?


Hypocrisy. Do you know what a crackhouse is?


As for the devil, he doesnt exist

Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece. This time make the fleece dry and the ground covered with dew."

Judges 6:39

10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

@thehomer

You conveniently did not make reference to my submission on how or why the men's faith turned to fiascoes

Anyway all may deem to be delusions subject to or considering their individual circumstances

The key is, faith is to be exercised within the rules else it becomes deluded, fake or false faith

I don't see why I should have done that.
Faith has certain rules? Pray tell us what these rules are and how to tell that we're following these rules.

Of all the commandments in the bible such as loving your neighbor, being considerate of others,charity as the greatest virtue,the numbskull and his father before him, chose snake charming as their favourite biblical injuction.
The word of god, the word of god. The word of god has once again run Amok.

@pukkah: And I assume that you understand religion! People who understand religon tend to avoid it like a snake.

But the wisdom of the world (what you're displaying) is foolishness to God. Maybe he saw God the night before and he was told to do play with snakes as usual. I guess you've understood religion. Please share with us your understanding.

logicboy:

You were claiming that we took from the Europeans when they actually took from us. Slaves, oil, destroyed our culture etc

they took from us . . . GOOD

didnt we take from them also ? and do you also want us to calculate who took the most from the other ?



logicboy:
As an ignoramus

na wah o

this particular thread concerns God and you are the one blowing horns up and down that you do not know or believe (aka. You are ignorant of) the same bible which the SLAVE MASTERS gave your fore-fathers.


logicboy:
you forget that we also import from China and Japan and other foriegn countries, not only Europe or America. When you generalise that we get clothes from our slave masters, you only look uneducated.


if not for those same 'SLAVE MASTERS', what business would your fore-fathers have had with the rest of the world ?

Japan, china, import . . . etc, if not for the same slave masters would your generation have got any clue what the above words mean ?

logicboy:

Didnt you notice that I was comparing Naija and uk?

WHO SEND YOU MESSAGE ? why the comparism ?
Re: 'serpent-handling' West Virginia Pastor Dies From Snake Bite by PastorAIO: 4:02pm On Jun 01, 2012
Pastor AIO:




Judges 6:39

MALACHI 3 10


Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matt 4: 7

So they quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses replied, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the LORD to the test?"
Exodus 17:2


Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah.

Deuteronomy 6:16


I think that the test that Jesus is talking about is different from verifying whether God is true to his word. There is the bickering and constant nagging that can be testing. Testing of one's patience. and there is the Test of Massah. The Test of Massah too is quarrelsome.

Yes, let us calculate. What is the cost of a human life? Compensation for bereavement (negligent death) is £10,000. 12 million slaves from Africa

£120 trillion.

I was a catholic for 20 years. To claim that I am ignorant of the bible is a huge lie.

Erm, who knows? Arabs were also slave trading in the north before European christians came with their slavery.

I dont remember Saudi Arabia colonised or China being a colony of Britain- they tried but failed in China. Why would Nigeria fail just because they werent colonized. Granted, there wouldnt have been "Nigeria" but maybe a small country called Niger-Delta with all the oil and Northerners suffering with no resources.

Err, to highlight the problem in Nigeria not present in UK?
