Correction:
Unbelievers don't believe because they don't see or experience any supernatural event.
So healing a respected scientist like Hawkings, will definitely go a long way to converting unbelievers.

Afterall, Jesus told his disciples to go and preach the gospel through healing and casting out of demons. (Mathew 10:1) (Mathew 9:35)
refer to my first sentence in the previous quote.
you preach with your mouth, then the signs follow, it's a principle.
I'm sure you remember parts of the bible whereby people who witnessed the miracles done by Jesus chose not to believe it.
Many believers also believe/believed without any miracles e.g Nathaniel.

If u haven't seen, u must have heard that people died , how many times have u seen or heard that a mans two feet disappeared immediately he died as predicted at Mark 9:45 u quote ?

or is Jesus lying ?

Mar 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Nothing in the above Bible quote about a man's feet disappearing immediately he died/dies. What is your proficiency in the English language please? Average, below average, or manageable?


but u quote This verse to show those who will be in the lake of fire , is beast not written there ? seems u have no clue .

i wish with you.

"Who will grant me this, that thou mayest protect me in hell " Job 14:13. Haha haha Job is a sinner ? grin grin

Thought of educating you properly but what's my own with JW sympathizers. The word hell or sheol or grave or hades or quberah are synonymous.


Churchman, Can u show me where your bible claim Abraham's bossom is a "place" ?


*** it's funny how u guys reason, the last time I check u get this word from one story in your bible called Richman and Lazarus isnt it ?

u shout around and scream that Richman and Lazarus story from where u get this phrase is to be taken literally as it is . but yet u don't want to take Abraham's bossom literally to mean the chest position of the man Abraham cos it will lead to many absurdities , is that not funny ? grin , u will rather say it signified a place . that renders all other things in that story as symbols of one thing or another . u just betray your own logic

Are you really saying that Abraham's bosom is not a place? Is there any of Jesus' parables that are impossible? mention them if any, thank you.

.
They chose not to believe IN HIM as the promised MESSIAH but they believed his supernatural works, remember they called him agent of beelzebub. Mathew 12:24

My point is they believed in d supernatural, but unbelievers (atheist and deist alike) of today don't believe in the supernatural because they do not witness it.

Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. To repent or regret in this context is simply to feel sorry. It has nothing to do with omniscience. You usually ask useless questions BTW.

It has everything to do with omniscience since an omniscient being is supposed to know everything.
Or are u saying He is not omniscient or chose not to know?

His post assumes that God's "shock" means that God didn't know. Knowledge is different from Emotion. You can know someone will die or is dead, you can still feel great sorrow when it actually happens.

Uhm, but in this case the omniscient being created what he knew would happen, ie he knew man would disapoint him and give him sorrow but still created him.
Your illustration clearly shows that you didn't av prior knowledge or control of what LED TO the person's dying state, unlike the omniscient being.

My illustration showed prior knowledge, i said " You can know someone will die" from maybe a terminal illness. Omniscience is not emotion.

What is the difference between the body and the soul? - "don't be afraid of he that can kill the body but can't kill the soul"
soul is the connecting link between the body and spirit. The soul is an invisible prototype of the physical body that lives after physical body is dead.

@ Realmindz I'll like to reform ur questions & answer some.

Is God sovereign? - To be truly sovereign demands that one have the total freedom, power, knowledge, wisdow, and determination to carry out a predetermined action - if god is sovereign, how do we explain the presence of sin & evil? - the only logical conclusion is, that, god himself allowed and arranged for sin to enter the universe, that through it all he might recieve the most glory through 'god jesus' - his sovereignty only confirms is egotistically egomaniacal nature.





Is God wise, good & powerful? - if god is so wise (omniscience-wise, sovereigntywise), then why did he create the devil, & if he is so powerful, why doesn't he destroy the devil?




If god is sovereign, how do we reconcile the responsibility and freedom of man?




If truly there is a god, while would he create a world to latter destroy it - why did he created man to later destroy their existence?

Soul is comprised of your physical and immaterial self - the spirit .

i.e

Soul = Body + Spirit

[size=15pt]Most times soul and spirits are used interchangeably though , so in that verse it is referring to your spirit. [/size]

Obviously anyone can kill the body , but your spirit cannot be killed by physical means . Only God can destroy the spirit

First of all, how wld u call trying to make the Bible clearer for a human being a waste of time no matter the circumstances? What ever sympathizer u assume that person to be, a true Christian wld never Call making anybody understanding the Bible no matter their faith a waste of time,instead they see it as a challenge. U have repeated that statement over and over again and it starting to sound as if u are making a mockery of that person which is very poor of u as a Christian. KingEbukanaija I believe u see that but choose to ignore it, that tells much about your personality.

Another funny thing, u keep asking if somebody is a Christian cos it will make explaining easier. What exactly do u mean by that? How about if not a Christian and u are trying to win me over, but I had questions, won't u take ur time to make me see reason with u,cos u don't expect to accept everything u said to like a dummy or you will just give up on such person cos he is not a Christian so making such person understand u is a waste?

I have some questions for you and the creator of this thread kingEbukanaija

Why are we still suffering for the sins and disobedience of Adam and Eve even as Jesus Christ has die for our sin? And I believe is death washed away our sins.

Have seen instances in the Bible where the sins of fathers are visited on the children. How is that fair? How can an unborn child be paying for a sin he knows nothing about, Pls what kind of judgment is that?

Why wld God allow Job in the Bible go thru such suffering? What exactly did he do to deserve God allowing the Satan to rain such punishment on him?

Finally we all no God is the all powerful, all knowing and nothing happens without his permission and he has the final say. So why wld he allow evil things to keep happening?

PS: am a Christian just finding it hard to some story and judgment in the Bible that defiles normal ideology.

2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do engender strifes.
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Ecc 10:10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Sinners and unbelievers really have no business asking questions about doctrine etc. They need salvation, they need to ask about their salvation.

I have some questions for you and the creator of this thread kingEbukanaija

Why are we still suffering for the sins and disobedience of Adam and Eve even as Jesus Christ has die for our sin? And I believe is death washed away our sins.
Because we are on earth. The plan in the Bible is that when Jesus comes again and the new earth and new heaven is made, there will be no more pain. The Bible does not promise otherwise.
Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Have seen instances in the Bible where the sins of fathers are visited on the children. How is that fair? How can an unborn child be paying for a sin he knows nothing about, Pls what kind of judgment is that?
Not only in the Bible but it is reality. People may hate you because of what your father or mother or even brother did. If your father is poor and jobless, it will affect you, your education, your feeding, your opportunities and perhaps your destiny. That's life. This is different from eternity however. God will not judge you eternally based on what others did but on what you did. Reason however shows that others actions may hamper your decisions. Like if your father is Shekau of boko haram, you are not likely to hear the gospel or believe it, in fact evangelist might not come near you or invite you to church. This can culminate in a sorrowful eternity.

Why wld God allow Job in the Bible go thru such suffering? What exactly did he do to deserve God allowing the Satan to rain such punishment on him?
Finally we all no God is the all powerful, all knowing and nothing happens without his permission and he has the final say. So why wld he allow evil things to keep happening?
Because He wanted to promote him. To be promoted or to get a certification, you go through a test. Nobody just loves you and dash you certificate.
Jam 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.



PS: am a Christian just finding it hard to some story and judgment in the Bible that defiles normal ideology.
