Sepp360:
God always tests humans, God always filters the shaft from the grain; in summary God punishes humans to know their worth, and he's so muuch aware that humans are imperfect. Even though he claims to be love.

Now, who created these imperfect humans?

God nooni. Remember God lost man when man gave authority to Satan and became slaves of sin. It simply incribes d removal of God's given glory and puttin on filty garments. U can see frm d old testament dat God is a very judgmental God bt His love for man neva dies. Daz y he sent Christ to redeem man back to Himself. His standard is now high dat a slight misconduct wl b cast away. Itz a demacation drawn by God to differentiate d pple dat are his from pple dat are otherwise,d bible says he has presented life n death before us, choose. Itz naturally impossible to meet God's standard but by His grace

God tempted those he love most

God didn't tempt job. He tried him.

Apostle Paul

Mine would be Daniel.... he had an excellent spirit. Infact the Bible described him as being more knowledgeable than his teachers!

Mine is David. Becos just as he was d man after God's heart, I am d woman after God's heart. God saves me d way he saved David on many occassions. God has conquered many 'Goliaths' & 'Sauls' on my behalf

chinziaski:

God did not punish him, he allowed him to be tempted by the devil.

Did you say "tempted"?... Hmmm!... I can only agree with you on that when the dictionary meaning of "temptation" differs from the one we all know.

You can't call that temptation.

if my memory aint failing me, i can still remember vividly how God used to murder those who offended him and fail to keep his commandemnt, those he did create in his own image. Though years later, we were told that God then had a change of mind by sending his only beloved son to redeem sinners. What would you say about the massacre of those he created in his own image? And why the sudden change in government? Those it mean that God did change?

I'm so happy to read this. A vast majority of us have similar stories. I pray He upholds you to the end.[/quot

Thanks dear and Amen

trial and temptation. Can you kindly differentiate the two!... It will do us a lot of good.

my favourite is job.
Not like I love his character(ok I love his character : he was patient and persevered - which is rare in our modern society)
... but I just find the story confusing...

Like, why would God claim to love him so much and allow him to be tempted that much.

God doesnt tempt... Its d devil dat tempts... God allows d temptation as a test, wch will show ur level of trusting him.. And God cannot allow a temptation dat u cant overcome come ur way..

Solomon all the way!!! dat man sabi die Solomon all the way!!! dat man sabi die

definitely solomon.....he understood then what we know today......"money for hand back for ground"

My fav xta is King Solomon

300 wives and 700 concubines
You can't beat that

understand diz, immediately man sinned against God, d mercy God had changed and d wrath of God filled d earth. Wen man broke d protocol, he got angry and cursed man. Den, d wrath of God dat ws all ovr d earth cannot behold sin, anybody dat commit son die on d spot, rememba any priest to enter d tabanacle of God must be 100% holy else he wl die, dey feared God more. Wen God saw hw pple he created are dyin, he decided to send His son dat ws existin frm d beginin,,, remember d prophecy of Isaiah, Joel, Amos etc in d preparation of d Son of Man. Come to tink of it,, cnt God declare a change of govt and give new laws?? Why does He has to send Christ to die D wrath of God ws all ovr d earth, Jesus cam to remov diz wrath, enclosed it in one place,, daz y u see pple cursin God, liers in church, party in church, girls wearin trousers in church yet dey are alive. It is because God is mercyful enough and is still waitin for dem. Dont forget dat d wrath of God is still somewhere,,, it wl b released someday, sometime, wen d satan and all his angels and followers will be cast to hell. We wl nt experience dat IJN

Your Jesus never quoted proverbs. He composed parables. The reason why I like him is because he sounds like Buddha (though Buddha sounds wiser).

You are most of all miserable for that blasphemy..pagans and non christians always trying to come into christian matters coz I believe you aint a christian.tell me at what age was buddha's wisdom shown and seen ? Old age I guess but christ's was at age 12 chalenging Drs and Profs. Can't you see a supernatural cognitive and subjective development here ? Bloody buddhist !

MuguliciousMUGU:
My favorite bible character is solomon... Imagine that man had 1000 wives and 5000 concubines... I want to be like him

bro Solo must have died of HIV.

I give it up to Jesus. He is in a class of His own. He is my all in all.

I like Joseph too. He is a fine gentleman with character worthy of emulation.

Paul is another person I admire so much, very educated, passionate in all he did. Apart from Jesus, Paul is the greatest Bible teacher of all time.

Thanks for this post

Read the story again and you will discover that God did not tempt Job, Satan did. God allowed Job to tempted but did not Himself tempt Job. There is a difference between allowing something to happen and doing that same thing. Infact God does not tempt people. James 1:13-15

teeghurl:
you're wrong too. he had 300 wives and 700 concubines making it 1000 altogether

thanks it was a mental error but the man tried sha

Amen... .

I understand your point, but i don't think you understand my own point, not even a bit of it.

Anyway, let's just conclude that God once changed, that sums everything up that he is changeable; thus he can still change again, who knows, maybe in the next century!
Thanks shaaa.

Mine : Timothy a young pastor mentored by Apostle Paul, so loved by him that two bible books were dedicated to teaching and instructing him. Described by paul that having know the Lord from young age I love to be like him.

In terms of Leadership Role I always covet and dream about Nehemiah an example of selfless service to national interest. I would love it if President Goodluck Jonathan study his template of Government.

building the nation everybody must contribute

mine is Isaiah with great prophesy.

diksucker:
mine is Rehab. She was a prostitute but she helped save the spies sent by Joshua and God rewarded her and she was saved rather than destroyed.

She's mine too. Her story reveals God's nature in a diff way. I can't fully explain or express it. Is it grace, mercy, favour? Which? Whatever it is it qualified some1 who by human reasoning shouldn't be considered qualified.

You are right sha,,,,, we are all learning to know this God which we absolutely cant know everything about but to some extent,,,,

SMP. Guy, you are so ignorant. Siddhārtha
Gautama (Gautama Buddha) lived and died before Christ, so how could Christ have been his mentor? Maybe, he was Christ's mentor.

As for your assertion that Christ was at age 12 challenging Drs and Profs, any historical document (aside the bible) to back that up? None.
