Sunglow: THANK GOD YOU NOTICED THAT ITS ONLY THE Bible that has records of Jesus-Reason;The bible is the ONLY ONE TRUE BOOK YOU CAN KNOW ABOUT GOD,AND JESUS.GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSSION,SO HE MADE IT EASY FOR ALL OF US AND COMPLIED THE WHOLE BODY OF TRUTH ABOUT HIM AND HIS KINGDOM IN THE BIBLE.NO OTHER BOOK OUTSIDE THE BIBLE WILL REVEAL THIS TRUTHS TO YOU.SO MY BRODA SHINE YOUR EYES AND KNIW THE TRUTH!!!!!!GOD LOVES YOU PEACEDude,your bible is nothing but a compendium of Jewish fables written by slave owning men & their ancient lifestyles which should have no bearing on the lives of any right thinking person in the 21st century.A book about talking donkeys,talking snakes,a man walking on water,a man living in the belly of a fish for three days,a man dividing the sea,a virgin impregnated by god,feeding 5000 with 5 loaves of bread & 12 baskets of fish,genocide,slavery,ripping pregnant women open,dashing babies against rocks,human sacrifice & many more inanities is what you want me to accept as the TRUTH about your god? No thanks,I'd sooner read a Harry Potter novel |

redsun: Well except you have flaps between your toes like the basilisk (jesus christ/Devil Lizard)... then maybe somehow you have adapted to walk on water... |

joaquin64:He would still be testing God. My word choice of showcasing is hinged on motive. What was the motive? To please God or man or self? God expects worship and not your ability to walk on water or otherwise. He is the miracle worker. If you read the account of Jesus walking on water, he was left alone as it were on the sea shore in his effort to care for the multitude and later needed to go up the mountain to pray as is His usual practice to pray every evening. By the time He was through, there were no Boats to take him to the other side (Bible accounts that "... the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land" Mark 6:47) If there were boats, perhaps, he would have no need to walk on water. Read the Bible (Matthew 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56; John 6:16-24) |

Why didn't he abort the whole exercise or one of the onlookers in the congregation pulled him out of the water, when they found out that after a few steps into the water, he was not accomplishing his goal of walking on the water but instead walking on bottom of the water? |

Pukkah: Do you need to be told that you must praise God? Do you need to be told that God is all knowing, all present? Can do all things? Can come as a human? Can create and bring the dead to life. He is God and GOD DESERVES MY PRAISE and WORSHIP! If you chose to be against God, you are not the first. Check out the lives of those who tried. As for me and my household, we are for Jesus. And you know what, not a strand of our hair is singed without Him knowing, because WE ARE HIS!!! |

Validated: Alas, you did not answer any of my questions. I believe in God and I am not against him but you guys muddle up things too much, speak from all sides of the mouth, and turn simple things to complex issues. Why should it be a surprise to me that God created this planet? Is that not contradictory? It's almost like venerating you for drinking a glass of water. God is God. Simple. No one truly understands Him and you should not supplant the lack of understanding with illogical and contradictory teachings. |
Re: Preacher Attempts To Walk On Water And Drowns. by joaquin64(m): 3:36pm On Dec 27, 2013 |
Validated: God charges man with the task of making followers of his people. He did this in both the old and new testaments giving his disciples "power". This power is what was defined to be performing miracles. You say he is the miracle worker, I agree, and he does this through man who he ordained. You know all the examples I need not list them for you. Moses "showcased" God's miracles for not just one motive, but many. Ultimately to save his people, I agree, but how? Wasn't it all a medium to showcase God exists to people who failed to believe? Doubt and miracles go hand in hand. As long as we are man, we are doomed to doubt and that is no fault of ours. The biblical perspective is always the easiest road to take when things warrant an explanation isn't it? And with it comes its own intrinsically built-in mechanisms and clauses to make us not question, ask or find out how if not we may be damned to its equally constructed hell. You have argued your point which I totally understand but you have failed to answer something I initially mentioned on man's natural curiosity and why he would forever question and test things including biblical illustrated miracles or happenings. Man doubts, and (correct me if I am wrong) isn't that why some, if not most, miracles were performed. You mention motive especially that of saving lives. Saving lives aside, many examples of miracles in the bible, were they not done to make believers out of people? Yes or no? So if this so called pastor (or other people/believers/pastors/etc) were doing the same to make believers out of people like the disciples did, was he then so wrong? Or this honor died with the people written about in the bible and stopped short from the 21st century people? Or God just happened not to ordain this guy? What if this pastors motive was indeed to innocently please the God he claims to worship? How do YOU know what he was really up to? Your answer to this will eventually come down to my initial point of contention, the law of don't put to the test, along with the other laws and sayings that were written to conveniently not answer the questions of why man doubts and questions in the first place. Where do we draw the line on defining what motives are clear cut against the rules? Diverting a little now from the case in point, a scientist testing the possibility of humans walking on water or the ability to change water to wine is certainly not testing God exactly or is he? I should think not because he is definitely testing the possibility of an occurrence and not God him/herself. But then you mentioned to please God or man? He is certainly doing so to satisfy his curiosity which means he is pleasing himself and according to you, testing that with the motive of pleasing himself and not God is tantamount to putting God to a test. I draw this conclusion entirely from your above statement, nothing else. If i misunderstood you, feel free to prove me otherwise. In the end, we can all sit here all day and argue for what we believe or understand be it scientific or religious but it all comes down to this. Man will forever feel the need to question and put to test the impossible. We were taught all our lives though that in following God, we should never question the unbelievable, the marvelous, or the impossible. So, I am a believer like you and I guess the best way is simply to keep quiet about these things and take it as we read about it with faith. ...or we simply agree to disagree on the matter. |
Re: Preacher Attempts To Walk On Water And Drowns. by joaquin64(m): 3:39pm On Dec 27, 2013 |
Pukkah: I realize he never really answers the question. Then again, we can all guess why and it is no fault of his/hers either. It really can NEVER be that simple when it comes down to matters of faith and fact... |
Re: Preacher Attempts To Walk On Water And Drowns. by Pukkah: 3:45pm On Dec 27, 2013 |
joaquin64: This is why nobody should beat his/her chest and declare that his own perspective of God is the only one or the correct one. There are as many perspectives of God as there are human beings. The subject of God fascinates me and sometimes, I am delighted to exchange ideas on with people on some things that they say when they think/claim they are praising God but are actually belittling Him. |
Re: Preacher Attempts To Walk On Water And Drowns. by joaquin64(m): 3:53pm On Dec 27, 2013 |
Pukkah: I agree. Fascinates me too. On matters like this it is always best to listen and be open to every side knowing the answers would never be set in stone. Best agree to disagree. But then there are those that would insist on forcing their belief through to you forgetting and contradicting themselves that they are not as omni-super-certain like the God they speak for. |

godjohnson: The kind demons weh full dat one body no b small tin Criss Angel is an illusionist. Plain and simple. Sophisticated technology, camera tricks, paid performers and passers-by alongside a daring attitude as all performers should have. Go on Youtube and watch how his tricks are made. There is no demonic influence behind tricks and logic. Its simple entertainment. Try expose yourself a little. That's what the internet is for... |

I'm not judging but if it's judging may God forgive me. To my own understanding, he's only doing that to bring glory to himself and not God. If he has suceeded, people will flock to his church, true or false? People will want to take his word as the final say because they will believe he's a son of Jesus since Jesus walk on water and he's the son of God. Secreatly many will want to worship him because of his closeness with Jesus. Secondly, if he truely want to text his faith, he must do it where no one will see him, but he did it in present of many people for applause. Thirdly in a situation where by he was traveling on boat and in the middle of the sea, the boat sank, that is when that kind of faith need to be exercised. Fourtly, Thou must not tempt the lord thy God. Do you think Jesus dont have the power to jump? Or didn't he has the power to turn stone to bread? He proove it that it's what he can do, that's why he turn water to wine. God forgive if I've judge with this |
