@ HopefulLandlord and the rest my question is directed to the demind- the OP. It will let me understand her. I too could say my religion is not Christianity. Sometimes words have different meanings to different people. When she said " love your neighbour as yourself " she was still quoting Jesus. If she denies the death and resurrection of Jesus or says Jesus is not Lord then that's something else. If she has ever been a Christian in the Bible sense and says those- she will know something goes dead or numb in her because we are not following carefully devised fables. God Himself by His Spirit witnesses with our own spirits that we are children of God. Anyone who argues it has not experienced it or is paying attention to the body and not to what happens deep down in his or her heart. |

sonmvayina: It's an assumption that if God speaks His voice can be recorded. There are other sounds in nature that other animals naturally pick but it took us several centuries of scientific sophistication to pick. We were the ones not picking the sounds all along. People who are not directly hit by bomb can still be killed by the sound waves generated that is beyond the limits of our ears to pick. About MMM, if God tells someone something, it is in that person's interest. His or her case may be different from yours. For example, I have wanted to play the "Who wants to be a millionaire" home play before and God tells me not to. I won't go on the street to tell everyone not to. It's personal. HOWEVER GOD IS REAL AND HE SPEAKS TO US. HE CAN SPEAK TO YOU TOO- IN FACT HE DOES, BUT RARELY IN AUDIBLE VOICE. [size=14pt]Other Examples of God Speaking To Me[/size] - I was in an executive meeting and the M.D. was talking about opening another branch somewhere and sending one of the staffs to handle the place. God lets me know that will be a wrong move and I tried to persuade the man not to make the move but he was so confident (I too didn't tell him God said so anyway). Well he ended up losing both the staff and all the investment in the branch. - I thought my spouse would have someone she would marry already when I met her. God told me I was wrong and she later confirmed it. - Someone had prayed that he wanted a divine confirmation of the course he would study to be sure and that God should use me for this (I won't advise anyone doing that anyway). It was computer science he was considering but just wanted to be sure. Immediately we met I "saw" COMPUTER SCIENCE written across his forehead before I knew why he came. That was wasn't what I cooked up. - Someone went for a job interview and it looked very bad plus initially she was not interested (people have said the CEO of the company is wicked). Well, I told her what God told me when I asked about it: 1. She will be employed 2. It will be for her training to learn how to run a similar company and it will be a rigorous training. SURE ENOUGH, she was employed and within 3 months (before six month when she was to be confirmed) she was promoted to head all the branches and to represent the CEO which led to her training to handle things only the CEO normally handles. The company is currently in her care under the CEOs watch. ... and so on. What you choose to believe can either help or limit you. God is real and He is my Advantage. 3 Likes |

PDBonline:that's what I've always told people to know God for themselves. I like what you said about Him being your advantage. You see there are some posts on NL I see discrediting God's existence that honestly gets me laughing. Now can you imagine somebody wanting to come and convince you that God doesn't exist? It wouldn't just make sense to me and this is coming from someone who wasn't born a Christian. PEACE bro! |

bemind:. My dear yes some christians are not worthy of that name as they criticise,condemn and hate more than they love,care and help. My advice for u is to get a 'rhapsody of realities' book or any other faith teaching book or CD from Pastor Chris. I promise u u'r whole new conception of christianity will change. U'll see that christianity is more than pple call it. It's more than a religion. Pls do as i said and i promise u,if u wholeheartedly read it and allow the holy spirit to teach u,u'll see that i'm right and that Jesus loves u a lot than u can imagine. Read it and u'll be put on the right path,just as i am. |

benzics:I have this to say to you... And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. John:5:38 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John:5:39 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John:5:40 Well Alter Boy and Bible Teacher (whatever that means), I have this to ask you, DID YOU HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST? Preaching the gospel yet living in sin, speaking in (fake) tongues yet living in sin does not qualify you as a Christians sir. If you did not know Jesus personally, you were working for yourself. You were a religious person not a Christian. Christianity is a relationship, if you don't have it, you cant talk about it. Day by day am seeing the grand plan of Catholicism. turn people over to satan. 1 Like |

Emmanystone:Lol.. are you seriously quoting the Bible (written by a con artist) to me? By the way watchman is a pentecostal church. When I was a Christian, trust me, you didn't "know christ" more than I did, I preached, ate and slept with prayer.. It got to a point where everyone was calling me pastor /rev fr. I "believed" I spoke with God, there was this Time my aunt was being operated on.. I locked the doors, I prayed till an extent I was drowning in my own sweat and tears, unknowingly for me that they were banging the door for me to open, "when I came back from the spirit", I quickly heard loud knocks on the door when I opened, my sister was like "I've been knocking for up to an hour now".. Anyway, fast forward, my aunt had a successful operation and I believed it was "God" who answered my prayers.. Fast forward.. I started getting into the Bible more and more, I started seeing life from a reasonable perspective, I then discovered that religion was a scam! God in fact doesn't exist, even if he does, he is not the monster portrayed in the Bible.. . Gbam, I told everyone I didn't believe in God.. My mum was heartbroken, she was shocked, all my sis were like "if there is no God, where do you get money from" (I fucking work for money!).. All my relatives didn't believe it.. My course mates were like, "I know you are just joking, because you can't mean it".. not knowing I mean everything I say! The Bible is there, read it with sense!! ! And you will understand! 2 Likes |

benzics: This is similar to what happened to me. The day you drop hypocrisy and begin to dig deeper and deeper into the faith, the day you start reading the Bible with more depth, trying to live right and relinquish falsehood, that is when your veil will be unveiled. It's amazing! 1 Like |
Re: My Final Shift Away From Christianity by Emmanystone: 8:43pm On Nov 29, 2016 |
benzics:Very funny you. I know what watchman is. I was a Catholic, and i know where Watchman came from and how they still hold catholic doctrines to a large extent. When you were in church you mean? Bros you were never a Christian. You believed you spoke to God? Did he speak back to you? Has God ever spoken to you? Okay lets start from here. Answer me this questions. 1 When did you die to SIN? (To live in Christ you have to first die and then be born again). Let me explain for clarity. We all were born sinners. We dont commit sin becos we want to, we sin because we were born with the nature of Sin. We just flow with with the nature, until there's a encounter. Encounter brings revelation, revelation brings conviction of our sins. Conviction brings about conversion. At this point is when a man sees his sinfulness, his wretchedness, his helplessness without Christ. This is the point that a man discovers what spiritual death means and the implication of that. It is at this point that a soul cries out for help to Jesus who is the only one with a solution. Its at this point that a man sees the danger of sin and decides to make a U turn, repent and forsake Sin. Its at this point that a man start the race. So, again i ask you. Wen did you die? What encounter did you have that brought you to this point? 2. You talked about Talking to God. How did you do that? Listen, Christ decides how he communicates to us. We do not choose the manner in which we hear God. in which way did Christ talked to you in your christian adventure? What is Rhema how did you receive your rhema from God? |

Emmanystone:LMAO I said I "believed" I talked to God, where in reality, there is no fucking god to talk to. Being religious makes you delusional, you don't see things the way they are, you believe "hallucinations" are real.. There is no sin, no GOD, no SATAN, just us and our actions, either good or bad.. It's funny how you became a Christian through your parents (maybe).. What if your parents were Muslims?? And it's funny how the only proof you have of God and Jesus, is written in a God forsaken book!! A book written by a con man with intentions to make a living. Keep wallowing in your ignorance, and thinking there is God, that's none of my biz though... Christianity, the place where you look up to a serial killer, genocidal bastard, envious entity, foolish being as your creator, who "loves you".. Lol

Wilgrea7:Prayer doesn't work! Things happen! That's why your pastors deceive you that "god is waiting for the right time to answer".. And to read the Bible, I've always mentioned" sense", read it with even an atom of reasoning! If you believe that a God who wiped (killed) out Sodom and Gomorrah with burning Sulphur (killing even the little babies).. If you believe that God is a loving God... Then I say to you again, read the Bible with your "brain"!! If I was the one that killed my whole children with burning sulphur, what would you think of me? That am wicked, am heartless.. But here it is, god did same, but you tag him as" loving ".. . For mother nature's sake, don't be myopic! And you know the Bible talks about a worldwide flood that in fact didn't happen, so basically the Bible is filled with lies, unrealistic stories.. Check my threads for top lies told to you by the Bible! So since the Bible is a lie, then the god portrayed in the book was a fairy tale character, and therefore, there is no God! |

Then I say to you again, read the Bible with your "brain"!! its one of the questions i have about the bible tho... but that's not enough reason to dismiss it considering that Jesus brought the message of love which was from God And you know the Bible talks about a worldwide flood that in fact didn't happen, so basically the Bible is filled with lies, unrealistic stories.. Check my threads for top lies told to you by the Bible! most religions talk of a flood... and even if the flood didn't exist... it doesn't change anything. So since the Bible is a lie, then the god portrayed in the book was a fairy tale character, and therefore, there is no God! this is the funny part... so since the bible is a lie then the God described in it is a lie and therefore no god exists at all?? really .. why the hasty generalisation ... if you understand the concept of a God who created all the billions of galaxies then you don't need anyone to tell you that no book can accurately describe him 100%. 2 Likes |

Wilgrea7: Why can't you guys just believe the earth wasn't "created"? OK, who created the creator of the earth?? Prayer doesn't work! That is why in the Bible, you read things like " pray and work", "heaven help those who help themselves".. . Why didn't the Bible just say "pray".. Because prayer doesn't work! You can easily work without praying and still get your work done! People who believe that prayer works, are really delusional.. if prayer works, then why do god not answer all prayers?? I thought you guys believed that god has a "plan", why then do you pray to change God's plan? And why do god answer your prayer to change his plans? Simply put, there is no God! Even if there is God, then I think me being an atheist is part of "his perfect plan"... Rubbish! 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: My Final Shift Away From Christianity by chrmn1: 10:13am On Nov 30, 2016 |
benzics:I was not the one that made any claim about God creating the world or that the world was not created. I was only responding to your statement as follows:"Why can't you guys just believe the earth wasn't "created"" You say theists are silly to believe in creationism because it lacks scientific proof but you also endorse the idea the the earth was not created, even though you have no proof for that. |

Re: My Final Shift Away From Christianity by chrmn1: 10:45am On Nov 30, 2016 |
benzics:so you mean you accept that the basic materials that formed the universe just showed up or that they created themselves. It's one thing to say 'I don't know' and quite another to say 'it happened like this' when you know deep down in your heart that it couldn't have happened that way. |
