PastorAIO:


But Zeus is not jealous and vindictive so he'll probably just let it slide. But Yahweh?

Pascal's wager requires a downside to not believing. No other religion provides this downside like abrahamic religions. So Pascal's wager still holds.

Julianyao:

Pascal's wager restricts the criteria for eternity to believe only. That's implies that you can rape, kill, do any feckery you want and still make the heaven as long as you believe. That's an F U to whatever moral life one must have lead.
It's about tricking yourself to believe.

Joagbaje:

Everyone have his responsibility. It's not God you hold responsible.

PastorAIO:

Oluwaseytiano:
Says who? Better go and study Greek mythology

PastorAIO:


Says me. Where is the jealousy and vindictiveness? Show me.

menxer:


So we should not hold God responsible for our blessings, since it's our responsibility?

If we don't hold God responsible, why give credit and praise to him for the good experiences we enjoy in life?

Oluwaseytiano:
Zeus had an adopted son called Prometheus, do you know what happened to him?

PastorAIO:
Did Prometheus fail to believe in him?

Vick4rill:
zeus will understand that i atleast, have reverence for a super natural being and i was nt too arrogants believing in my own understanding.,..

Oluwaseytiano:
I don't gat time for chit chat, what happen to Prometheus?

davien:
I'm also not an atheist in a foxhole,had a lot of accidents... dusted myself and went to the hospital..

The day a bottle exploded in a trashbin and slit a bit of my neck people were shouting jesus all through, If I was a theist, panicking and shouting jesus would've only lead to more bleeding from my neck and possibly let the pieces push further into my neck... just hailed a bike to the nearest hospital..

PastorAIO:


If you don't have time then why are you here? Are you saying that what I asked you is not pertinent?

Prometheus gave humans fire and was punished. So what?

We are talking about Pascal's wager I believe. Do you know what Pascal's wager is? What is it?

Again I ask you. Did Prometheus refuse to believe in the existence of Zeus? Did Zeus say he will punish people who did not believe in him?

I will reply u well, op.
Go ahead and thankgod u were saved from death. God is so merciful that if u know him u will say that thanking him over and over is not enough. As a Christian and as a pastor I have seen much and have known much. Nothing on earth can alter my conviction about GOD. See please do understand that the spiritual realm works parallel to the physical realm. While the physical is control by man, the spiritual is control by GOD and demons. The activities in the spirit realm are as real as the physical. Today I see the devil using atheist to lure people to hell by making them think GOD is not in existence and God is not what he say he is. If u look at life u will understand the mystery of life. Why do we have to come into this world through birth and why do we have to live this world through death. Birth was d plan of god for every life to come into the world to fulfil a purpose, death was not d mode of exist for man, sin came into the world and alters the plan of GOD for mankind. Jesus came to restore and to redeem us to god that after this life we will stay in the new Jerusalem and the new earth and heaven. If you want to conclusively conclude that GOD has not played a major role in keeping u till date, wait till when you close ur eyes in death and open it in eternity reality will dawn on u that eternity only has 2 choice heaven and hell and u don't make that choice there u make it here. My friend please I beg u by God's mercy do not live a life of deception from the devil. Do not be swallowd in this lies of the devil.
In 2014 April 14 I will never forget this for the rest of my life Nyanya bomb blast I was in that park by 6.30 am, prior to that GOD had already woke me up to pray fervently so I did, while I finished praying I was silent and god asked me to read psalms 91, I did, he asked me to cover myself with the blood I did, he spoke to me expressly that today he will show me his mercy I did not understand till I escaped death violent death by bomb blast. I got to park that morning saw many buses, but a man came and stopped me from entering one of d buses that was blasted by d bomb, asked me to enter anoda, after which d driver drove out like someone was chasing him. Few minutes into our journey while we left the park like 3minutes we heard a blast and it shook our bus on the road just to turn back we saw smoke from the same park we left. I saw some of this people that were killed we laughed and smile not knowing it was d last time for them. I love him GOD and I have seen him in divers manners in deliverance, in provision, in protection. ur opinion about him does not change him. Please retrace ur step back to GOD. Bless you.

Why did God put uthrough d strenuous exercise of praying and all if he really wanted to save u, he would have done just that without u praying for infinity hours.
Does that also mean that those in Nyanya were all punished by God? u would also agree with me that not only u escaped. Some people who had not prayed in years also escaped. What makes their's less gracious than yours Attributing events that happen by chance to a deity does not bring d deity into existence.

If the best explanation u can give to that pics is a miracle, then it shows how religion has closed ur intellect. There could be 7,000 reasons why d bible did not burn but u picked only one. smh

PastorAIO:


Well tbh some parts of the bible agree with that. But then other parts directly contradict those parts.

As for morality, forget it, the worst thing for anybody or society trying to develop moral character is christianity.

menxer:


So we should not hold God responsible for our blessings, since it's our responsibility?

If we don't hold God responsible, why give credit and praise to him for the good experiences we enjoy in life?

Joagbaje:


he made the provision. and he gave us his word and his spirit to know how to lay hold on what is ours. The ball is in our court.

our thanking God is simply our act of worship

Vick4rill:
please am writing this to the young minds and teenagers who visit religion section. do not for any sake or wat ever u read here doubt the existance or believe in God... ask your self this questions if truely God does not exist why are atheist so eager to prove it at all cost? why wouldnt they leave the christains to wallow in their ignorance untill they realise that they were chasing after the winds. if you live ur life serving God and later died and realise that there was nting like God, hell or heaven have u lost in anyway? what then will happend when u are fully convinced that he does nt exist and after death u realised that he truly exist? i plead with u the young ones to stick with ur believe in God. atheist themselve ve nt make the world better with their use of logic and common sense.if they ve why are there still sufferings,pains sickness despite their breakthrough in science. even if it is nt god that created this world u will agree with me that this world did nt jst come on its own?

Elohim1:
COMMON READ EVERYTHING WRITTEN ON THE PIC NA ABI EYE DAY PAIN YOU??

Oops sorry man.

menxer:


lame argument.
You said we can't hold God responsible, how come he is now responsible for our provisions?

Joagbaje:


Let me break it down for you. If I give you a high tech gadget to make life easy for you and also give you the operating manual . If you operate without the manual and couldn't benefit from the gadget who do you blame ? Yourself or me. Who is responsible . God made provision and gave manual and principle on how to lay hold on it . If you follow his instruction and it works , you give him praise .

braithwaite:





Am tired of explaining it to them..

Hardmirror you geh time oh

HardMirror:

I've not been online for 2 days now sef. Most times I ignore dumb comments.

menxer:


Your arguments from where I joined you don't sync.

if God is not to be held responsible, why is he held responsible for the provisions?

You make a case for following God's instructions, when God isn't even responsible for anything. Who would be held responsible for factory fault in the product Or a complex set of instructions in a strange language for a device?

AlfaSeltzer:
Oga HardMirror, you need to fortify yourself. Things don't happen for nothing.

Follow the logic and see where it leads you: 2 accidents since becoming an atheist means that god is very angry with you and has just given you two warnings to turn back to him.

Now that would would be a mistake. The best thing to do is to seek the wisdom of Satan.
With Satan's wisdom, you'll know when to repair your vehicles.
With Satan's wisdom, you will not be foolish not be driving at high speed on bad roads with an unroadworthy car.

theoneJabulani:
Same guy replying your post. The poet Homer tells tales of countless humans who were punished for disobedience by the gods of Olympus. The Greek gods show more human emotions than any other Deity's on earth. And do I know what is Pascal's wager? I won't answer that.
