I was an atheist who didn't come from a Christian home so was probably a worse skeptic than you...until I saw Jesus and God in the flesh a year ago...
Are you serious. what religion were your parents practising initially.
could you enlighten me more about seeing both jesus snd God in flesh.
l wouldnt have thought twice of your post but for the fact that you appear a competent medical personnel. its even more curious since you wrote 5 mins from yabaleft on your page.
so i'm really curious about this your personal encounter with God in flesh.

I would advice you to talk to a well knowledgeable Christian (Christian apologists) I would recommend the teachings of Ravi Zacharias. Could be that there are satisfying (to you anyways) answers to your questions but, you've been asking the wrong people. Maybe the unanswered questions you've been having about your religion are not seriously deep enough to make somebody lose their faith. Maybe you are just over reacting. For example, I don't even know why you skip prayers or don't pray at all... Could be because you want to have sex with a girl but, your christian conscience is telling you not to so you want to get rid of it so you could do whatever the hell you want.

Take it from me, being an Atheist DOESN'T make life easier, DOESN'T answer questions. As a matter of fact, it makes life much more complicated. Because
[size=14pt]you would have to go into science, evolution etc. and even then you would have to take somebody else's word for it, as YOU yourself might not have the equipment or the capacity to verify scientific facts.[/size]

Atheists are "side choosers" Christians see themselves as "life savers." Please be a christian. So-called freedom is irrational. It's for the good of all mankind for humans think of themselves as NOT free. We all know that we are going to die some day but, see how we are treating one another. Imagine a world without religion... It's Chaos. Anywway, that's another story.

I lost my faith... I'm NEVER gonna get it back and you know what that made me? Undermined (I'm not regretting though, I got good reasons (I'd like to think anyway) for my apostasy). I'm gonna have to research till I die, as I have questions NOBODY have answers to. Save yourself that torment. Faith is a gift. You are contemplating means you haven't lost it totally, Please DON'T.

Good luck.


This is what baffles me. Y'all are ready to believe all 'em "Galileo said, Nostrademus said" junk, but starts throwing tantrums when we say "God says"...and it's worse with these former Christians

l can understand how some of them feel about religion when some parts do add up to them and they start questioning the whole as a result.
such reasoning is flawed. Science explains many phenomenom and uses the principles to invent things and cure ailments. They even go to space. but thats as far as my believe in science goes.
l dont believe in theory of evolution, big bang theory or speculations in age of the universe or black hole and worms. They appear far fetched to me and unrealistic. i'm sure those that question some parts of religious scriptures feel so too about some of the scientific theories of the universe but that doesnt mean the whole of science is faulty because we dont agree with some parts.

Are you an atheist?
Do you really believe you've lost your faith and you can't get it back? if so that a lie. You can get your faith back if you want to.

I appreciate your therapy intentions but, it's impossible... not until God fixes this dying earth tomorrow, show us all our passed on loved ones (that you don't really die, life is all just a gnikcuf simulation) and let us know that Hell was just a hoax, that it (God) was just gnikcuf with us all this while.

Yes my mother exists. I have seen her and interacted with her. I have not seen anything resembling a god. And neither have you.

Ouch what is wrong with those at yabaleft tongue KK, I am just a carefree very playful being with no serious bone in my body who is always laughing/clowning around...My folks are strong Ifa peeps...but it happened that God was trying to use me as some sort of vessel but I didn't take it seriously because like I said I wasn't a Christian...


I recently developed this strong precognition skills (which in Science field is classed under the highly credible Parapsychological phenomenon and has passed many meta-analysis) and started getting vivid dreams, visions, revelations, etc...although I was told it was there but had been suppressed by evil forces utilising dark energy... because prior to this I just used to get 3/4 dreams a year which always came to pass...so I was getting woken up from sleep every night with lots of vocal admonition to obey a certain will God assigned for me but would vehemently refuse and start going back and forth with God that no He created us with freewill and I refuse to tow the path He wants me to tow and will exercise my own right, that I need to be left to sleep in peace...I even had this "since you are my Heavenly Father, I like to disobey my earthly father sometimes so get used to this stubborn side of me God, and I would cheekily remind Him that afterall He kuku created me and my acid tongue too...


That's how one night I got yanked somewhere, found myself on God's back in a piggyback mode so I couldn't see His face, but I saw Jesus standing opposite God and stuck out my tongue at him and said "I fine pass you sef"...I heard both of them chuckle and a startled Jesus say "of course he is more handsome than I" and I responded "nah, I am finer because I was made in the image of God", then both of them laughed and I found myself in my bed again...the place had grey clouds everywhere and everywhere was a soft dusky grey and it looked like they were going to bed when I had that encounter


I was told by Pastors that that is an encounter people spend 21 days dry fasting to achieve...I woke up vowing to stop joking with everything and start taking life seriously so that next time such opportunity comes my way I will have serious lists of questions to ask both of them embarassed embarassed embarassed

And pls tell, what does a man have to do to be accepted as a Christian by u?

Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour.

Cus even as an ex-Christian myself, ur talk of holy spirit disgust me as it shows ur weakened intelligence due to religious dogmatism

You think it shows my religious dogmatism, I will redirect the question to you now, have you ever been baptized by the Holyspirit during your Christian life?

If you've successfully answered my question then read this again "...that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost." 1 Corin 12:3

The muslims, hindus, African traditionalists, Chinese, Shintos(Japan), all lack ur holy spirit yet they have their own beliefs of what is holy and worship the creator in their way nonetheless...

You think I'm weaken intelligently but compare this your statement with my purpose of bringing Holyspirit into my post.
I didn't talk about being HOLY through the HOLYSPIRIT but HOW you can prove the existence of God and accept Jesus as LORD and SAVIOUR through the HOLYSPIRIT. Grow up in wisdom man

many of them live better lives than Christians, contribute far more to the world and live morally

And do you also agree that Many Christians live better than them, contribute to the world and live morally far than them?

What then can we benefit from ur invisible spirit that doesn't exist anywhere other than the pages of a book

If something doesn't exist what can you benefit from it?

It's left for you whether Holyspirit exists only on the pages of a book or exists beyond what you read in a book about Him, the fact still remains the same people have encountered Holyspirit in reality in which I'm one them.


Shalom!

I am a baby Christian and even only yesterday learnt the meaning of LENT, it was Christmas that I asked what people go to Church to do on Christmas eve, etc, so I understand where they are coming from with the whole disillusion with mankind/religion. That's why I am very very patient with all these Nairaland Christians turned atheists because even though they are trying to discredit God, they have a special way of teaching new Christians like me what I don't know about the Bible/word of God and opening my eyes to know more about God...


And if not for my encounter and what i have witnessed about the power of God in the last one year, I would be a skeptic too...but I now know how powerful that name JESUS CHRIST is, and I know what calling on the name has done and can do, so I can never ever discredit God or Jesus again.

Prison walls indeed. I love your courage, its just that there is 100% probability of you going to hell. @op, try going through these websites: jesus-is-savior.com and answeringislam.org. One thing you have to ask your self is, Do I have proof that God doesn't exist? If you don't, stick to your faith cos its worth it.
