iamDiabolic: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? 1 Like |

iamDiabolic: 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. ServerusSnape 2 Likes |

[quote author=iamDiabolic post=47111037]can you help me ask them this question(I plan to create a thread on it,after I research though,if jesus really ascended to even thus breaking the law of motion.did he wear his skin to heaven or his spiritual body.we were told heaven is a place where the soul go nd not body,nd we wete told after jesus ressurected his body couldn't be found that means he appeared to his disciples in human form,he had flesh. So when he ascended back to heaven did he take his flesh along with him or did he shed his flesh while ascending. 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: 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. 1 Like |

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. |

You sleep at night and wake up in the morning.
Someone else sleeps but doesn't wake.

You go to work and come back.
Someone else doesn't come back.

The list goes on. I'm inviting you to my church on sunday.. You will surely know there is God.. Dm me if you are interested... |

Iefosa: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. |

iamDiabolic: 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) . 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. 1 Like |

Iyke1998: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! 1 Like 1 Share |

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! |

The issue with most of these folks is that they have an "idea" of "a kind" of God they visualised with certain attributes and stuffs, such that if there must be God, then He has got to fit into their spec...Hey guys, It doesn't work that way As in, the OP wanna see God see face to face, I guess.
