So when he ascended back to heaven did he take his flesh along with him or did he shed his flesh while ascending.

ok someone has already told, good. Don't say that devil doesn't exist because atheists themselves worship the devil indirectly but they don't know. Now what is the secret of their wellness?
You can't be against God and devil at a time but devil is happy when you do the both at a time because he knows that you are coming to him at the end . But when you are against the devil and be with God he(devil) will be against you, so atheists are deceiving themselves because they are for devil, in this world is either you are for God or for the devil. The question is, do you want God In your life?

Only Jehovah's witnesses say what the bible really say.

Others claim to preach the bible but they add human doctrines to it. For example the Catholic Church say they stand on "the bible and the church tradition". So you can imagine.

But Jehovah's witnesses believe, just as the bible says, that "all scriptures is inspired of God... So that the man of God will be COMPLETE and FULLY EQUIPPED" (2 Timothy 3:16). So we don't need any other tradition. That's why we are able to verify that the bible doesn't teach hellfire. In fact it doesn't even teach that there is something that exist outside of humans when they die. Rather it promises that dead humans will be ressurected from grave. Which means that they are in the grave NOT HELLFIRE.
catholics believe in pogatary or so.so according to jehovah witness there is no hell,I have always fancied jehovah witness above all other doctrine though.but I wonder why other church(pentecostal,catholic,apostolic,anglican nd co)why do they discriminate jehovah witness,could it be that they are the ones whose doctrine are quit humanist than other church own.

Ur govt threatens u with prison if u break d law so u call dem bad rite? Don't delude uself bro. If we human can make laws to put people in check wot of God? In this life there are laws written or unwritten. U wan to be a humanist dats cool bt even in dat bible u read there were humanist and philosophers and rational thinkers who question God and luckly for them arrived at a conclusion that helped them. Read this books I think proverbs etc or so.

If u want to understand Gods ways read the whole bible, be vast, feel free to question it bt wot is beyond ur knowledge will need better interpretation cos sm things are misterys. Cheers.

NB i once thought like u and question not just d bible bt also science and tried to add things up. I Ws in secondry skol then.

I see a powerful God's prophet in You., you will soon encounter Jesus, you will remember this day.

Now to your question, those are the things of the spirit, what you should be focusing on is the ultimate sacrifice, the gift of eternal life, the most precious gift from God to mankind , not his ascension, his flesh, heaven.

johnydon22:


surely ignorance is, but knowledge is power and power comes with many thorns.

That is the nature of all things, the more you know the more you find out you don't know and the more things needing to know becomes clearer



Agnosticism is broadly atheism because for one to agree the existence of God(s) is unknown or cannot be know, it is evidently clear that such a person do not believe the existence of God(s) already tendered from different cultures and theologies.

that is surely the atheist position...


Knowledge sure is power, and i prefer it. Lol.
I think some of us are naturally born to be this way, think deep and ask questions. It sometimes baffle me when people don't ask questions, like are we comfortable with all these?
I actually started out arguing with a reverend father years ago, asking if God is Omniscient, then he knows if you're heaven or hell fire bounded from conception.
He told me they treat the topics in seminary too under the course 'The theology of God' looking at the attributes of being Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence. It was then got to know, the seminary really boggles your mind and a lot of Reverend Fathers are agnostic. It is the other 50% that's keeping them in the faith.
I still wouldn't agree agnosticism is under the umbrella of atheism, not conforming to cultural and theological ideologies is not broad atheism. Someone or something may or may not have set all these processes in motion, we really can never know.
Pardon any typo.

The fact that you do not Believe in God dose not stop him from existing. Case study: Pharaoh. Exodus 5:1-, ecclesiastes 8:11-12 because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

I was once like you, until I encounter Jesus Christ 12:00 midnight ikeja Bridge, close to computer village. Thank you Lord Jesus, my story changed since that encounter and I'm a living testimony.
Lemme guess, You nearly died but jesus speared your life and now you are a born again convert.
Its a common story. The fear of death is one of the strongest tools the creators of religion used to enslave man.
Everybody must die, its a natural thing, sooner or later and because of our poverty and poor healthcare system you would most likely than not die before 45 if you a man and 50 if you are a woman.

Bro, the earlier you started using religious script as a story book, the better for you.(you know, like Tortoise story from our childhood) If I tell you I read the Bible, you will be surprised; right? Ofcourse I do read Proverbs and Ecclesiastes (while ignoring Yahweh mentions) wink. The dude that wrote that part of the Torah is one hell of a 'street wise' smart bas.tar.d.
Once you finally un-tethered yourself from the comfort of religion, that is when you will understand life fully.
On your question, I do not debate or argue religion again; I just smile and say: "GOOD FOR YOU"


By the way, an advise from a 'tele tele' in this your situation. Nutters and blockheads full this country, you can be harmed by voicing some of what you wrote here in real life. Let your quest and all be on social media and Nairaland; in the outside world, abeg hold you peace.

Stop using death as an excuse, Everybody must die. According to statistics you are likely to die soon because of our poor health care and poverty.
Nobody dies without a reason, you were either sick or died out of ignorance or bad luck or combination of all this.
If death is the reason to believe in God, then the Japanease should be at the for front of your God but they are not. The Japanese live till they are 90-110 , funny enough we in Nigeria, who are the most religious people on earth cant even boost of that.
Most of us would die before 50 because of our pooor health care facilities
Re: I Wonder If There Is A God by Iyke1998(m): 6:51pm On Jul 01, 2016
In some hospitals, OXYGEN is administered at the rate of N4,500 per hour for adults and N3,000 per hour for children. Now, if adults were to be placed on oxygen for a whole day, the bill will be N108,000 per adult. If this is extended to a month, the amount becomes N3.24 million. For one year; it will be N38.88 million. So, dear friends, the next time you are tempted to think that God is unkind and unfair to you; remember this: He gives each of us more than N3Million monthly benefits of Oxygen free of charge. For the free gift of life, be thankful to God!

most of us don't, infact we embrace it because just it would happen to us all at anytime, anywhere and anyhow

most Christians fear it however, just look how their behavior change for the better (albeit temporarily) after watching a gospel movie about hell fire

Once you throw away all this bullshit about heaven or hell. You begin to see life in a clearer perspective you begin to appreciate this world because you know once you die, thats the end. You thrive to live a meaningful life and try your best to do good.
Everybody must die, both the so called God fearing once and both the disbelievers. Funny enough, Both the so called saviours jesus and mohammed both died

We should be thankfull your God gave us Oxygen.
First of all, If i want to show my appreciation which if the thousands of Gods should i be thankful to?
Secondly, the same God that gave us oxygen, also gave us cancer, Sickle cell , Malaria, typhoid, measles, Volcanoes, drought,... Should we also be thankfull to him, which ever if the gods he is

Bro, there's something greater than us, look at the universe and observe.
these things couldn't have happened by themselves, there's something behind them, whatever we choose to call it, god or not, there's something there, though he's not the nonsense they told us he's.

if I'm wrong, and he's what they said then I'm proudly a REBEL. cool

Yes I've always thought like this.
But according to the bolded, we don't know, could be superhumans, aliens or some kind of force field(s)
Could even be worse than what the religious book portrays, we could be experiments. No one really knows.
Re: I Wonder If There Is A God by sonoforogun(m): 7:05pm On Jul 01, 2016
I don't really blame you though. You see, I have been having the same 'spell'. I actually wanted God to manifest himself to me 'personally'. I needed to feel his presence in a way that is 'Godly'. I have near death experiences and had survived them. I felt there is a power somewhere that upholds and strengthens me, but could he be same 'God' being paraded around as 'Jesus'? I am researching and trying to see the connection. Could it also be that my fore-fathers who knew no sin (i.e. followed the 10 commandments, even though they have not seen the Jewish law) and had strict compliance with swift justice to the offender. Then, you could open your doors while you slept at night and fear no harm. But you see life itself is mysterious. We know very little yet about the forces at play, but one thing that is that, there is a higher power (divinity) - I call him the |God of Precision|. Hagar called him the |God that seeth me|-Genesis 16:13. He created and reigns over all things. Different tongues have given him several names based on their perception of him. He is the seen as the 'beginning' Himself. Look inwards within you and follow your heart... What gives you peace inside.. follow. Hence you are not given to evil. God no go vex!
