Dantedasz: ^^You need to read my post slowly again bro. |
Re: Mankind And God. by Dantedasz(m): 4:53pm On Jan 07, 2014 |
lanrexlan: Yes,it's humane to do good because the breath of Allah was breathed into man when Allah created him[Surah As-Sajadah 32:9].So,by default man is created to do good deeds in order to attain high moral standards. |

lanrexlan: I am a slave of the Most Gracious(Allah).He is my Lord and my purpose on earth is to worship Him and obey his orders and if I do so,he would not punish me.....Peace |

lanrexlan: Human beings should do good actions for moral and ethical reasons because these good actions are very beloved in the sight of Allah(swt) and it is also among the commandments of Allah(swt) laid down.The recompense of doing good deeds as promised by Allah is paradise. |

Dantedasz: So man does good deeds in order to avoid punishment (hell) in order to gain a fat reward (eternal life/beautiful heaven. Summary of your quoted posts! |

Dantedasz: The point is that the Bible potrays God as possessing the attribute of omniscience. God has complete and unlimited infinite knowledge and total awareness of everything. Nothing can be hidden from God. Maybe we are just pawns in a gigantic chess game between the forces of good and evil. The book of Job comes to mind. Job chapt 1 verses 6-12. |

TheMadame: Contact Jehovah's Witnesses and ask for this book!

Re: Mankind And God. by TheMadame(f): 1:04pm On May 17, 2020 |
Maximus69: Did you read the thread at all before jumping in advertising your book? I don't want copy and paste answers. I am asking you to relay your personal relationship with God and why man is on earth. Is it just to worship God as someone has said? What is the relationship between freewill and determinism? Can man be free with an omniscient God? What is the relationship between morality and the bible? Can mankind be a moral being without the admonition of the bible? So sir,I am not looking to buy a book. I seek for personal human answers. Thank you. |
Re: Mankind And God. by Nobody: 2:51pm On May 17, 2020 |
TheMadame: The book is FREE and it has all the answers you seek, but if you've gotten the choice of answers you seek it's OK, your friends will attend to you Sir! Thanks! |
Re: Mankind And God. by TheMadame(f): 3:09pm On May 17, 2020 |
Maximus69: Tell me what the book says in your own words. Thank you madam. Your contribution is appreciated ma. |
Re: Mankind And God. by sonmvayina(m): 3:10pm On May 17, 2020 |
What Most Of Us Fail To Comprehend Is The Fact That God In His Infinite Wisdom Created Us Like This, With The Ability And Capacity To Make Choices. He Has Already Factored In All The Possible Outcomes, He Gave Us Laws, Commandments And Customs(omenala Or Omenani For The Igbos And Torah For The Jews) To Guide Us In Making Better Choices, So That We Can Have A More Fulfilling And Fruitful Human Experience. End Of The Day, We Are All Gods Walking A Human Path Or On A Human Journey. |
Re: Mankind And God. by Nobody: 3:56pm On May 17, 2020 |
TheMadame: Hmmmmmmmm Since 2013 seven years ago! OK you may ask your questions one after the other and get the answer to each. Please one at a time! |
Re: Mankind And God. by TheMadame(f): 4:56pm On May 17, 2020 |
Maximus69: Madam, The questions are still as relevant as there were in 2013. Go back to the OP and read the questions. Thank you ma. 1 Like |
Re: Mankind And God. by Nobody: 7:18pm On May 17, 2020 |
TheMadame: First of all Maximus69 is a man! As i've said the book answered all your questions but let me address just two so if you're satisfied then you go get the book but if not then you continue on your search! God is only self-existent, he had no beginning nor end of days, he created all things according to the book (Bible). Of course most inquisitive people will ask "where did he come from?" just to be sure they're not been deluded with yet another common human fabrications. But as an intellectual i consider the pros and cons of all wind of teaching before i conclude on what to do. Humans are the only intelligent creatures on the only planet with life (earth) and the book (Bible) said humans need God's guidance to coexist peacefully. Jeremiah 10:23 So if humans for thousands of years failed woefully to cultivate LOVE JOY and PEACE in our society, and the book said God will make it possible amongst his worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} i strongly believe the stage is set to unravel all these fairytales! Let's see if that's going to be possible with the way mankind has been devastated with racism till now! To my shocking surprise i found a religious group that has LOVE, JOY and PEACE permeating their midst during a time when HATRED, SADNESS and WAR is the order of the day! |
Re: Mankind And God. by Nobody: 7:48pm On May 17, 2020 |
God's purpose for man is for us to have the best of life but due to being the only intelligent creature on the planet we envy one another. God wants one of the creatures on this planet to oversee all others that's why we were created with the ability to think and plan unlike other creatures living on instinct! God promised that he's going to make LOVE, JOY and PEACE reign in the midst of his own worshipers (obedient humans) and Jehovah's Witnesses are fulfilling this today, God promised to end all badness but before he does that he will have to prove himself to be God! Ezekiel 38:23 This means what seems impossible in the human society will be seen in the midst of his own worshipers, so if despite all these they're still doubting his existence he will have no other choice than to destroy them! That's why he gave them this new name in the year 1931 JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! |
Re: Mankind And God. by TheMadame(f): 5:27am On May 18, 2020 |
Maximus69: Have you considered the point that this religious book,you keep on quoting,some people do not believe it to be the true words of God? Secondly how do you know for sure that Earth is the only planet inhabited by human forms? Has science visited all the discovered planets in the galaxy for you to conclude that Earth is the only planet with life forms? Why would a creator of such a vast galaxy of planets put life forms on only one planet so that the objective of this creator is for his creations to worship him/her in order to go to heaven? And you talk of a creator just destroying his/her creations just like a petulant child that throws his/her toys out of a pram? I doubt if what you described can be the intellectual omniscient, omnipotent all wise creator of the universe. This is why I told you I don't want cut and paste free books which you read and regurgitate on this forum. I want your personal brain process of the relationship between God and mankind. NB:I know you are a man but do you know I am a woman? You refered to me as Sir first,so I referred to you as ma. No hard feelings. |
Re: Mankind And God. by Nobody: 7:00am On May 18, 2020 |
TheMadame: I love the way you've opened up on what you truly had in mind and i must commend you for such confidence, truthfully it's noteworthy! Well let's treat you questions one after the other. (1) The book itself revealed that it has always been like that, in every generation less than 1% do believe (trust) in his word, so if that's what is happening today it's a confirmation that the book is true! (2&3) The book said God created the heavens (all the things we see in the sky) and the earth, then it began explaining the gradual process God used to prepare the earth for it to sustain life. Ma with all their space adventure, scientists never discovered life elsewhere and they will never find it because God's word (Bible) said this is the only place God prepared for life to exist! Psalms 115:16 (4) The book never said humans will go and live in heaven from the onset, so earth is mankind's permanent home! Psalms 37:29 God said he supposed to be our ruler NOT for our fellow man to rule over us, but since mankind chose man's rulership God decided to allow that so that we can all see how far it will go! Ecclesiastes 4:1, 8:9 He (God) promised to arrange for a form of government where humans will become participants in that government, the one who will head that government must be a perfect person that's why an angel put one human form to come and counsel humans on how to rule with God in mind, it's this angel that promised his friends that he will like to take them home to where he lives so that they can rule the earth from there together. But for the rest of obedient mankind, we will live forever as youths on this planet! That's the promise! Psalms 37 9-11; 67:6-7; Proverbs 2:20-22; Isaiah 65:21-25 All these i won't believe (trust) ordinarily if i never saw anything of that nature taking shape! Jehovah's Witnesses are zealously preaching and teaching globally, and they're already making people from all over the earth to form that global family of peace loving worshipers as prophesied in that book! Isaiah 2:2-4 Jesus promised to exterminate the rest of mankind if they continued to be rebellious {Luke 19:27} at first i thougth that's too hash, but when i remembered that it's just only a pair that multiplied to this billions we have now, and the book also said God at one time destroyed all land creatures only to preserve each pair and eight humans in a floating vessel, i have no doubt this same God won't do the same to end all badness! |
