Maybe we should check the definition of partiality, and then related it to what you just described, so because one worships me more than the other, I give preference to him more than the other, so what is now the difference between what we humans do everyday?, and besides looking back a doctor would have made more impact in such a situation than the presence of Jesus, just wondering when we will have good paramedic services in this country for emergencies


Partiality is a negative word and it cannot be used to describe God. God inhibits the praises of His people, if you want His abiding presence then keep praising Him and your prayers will be close to His ears

"The prayers of the righteous are His delight"

If you want to know more about God then you can send a PM. The Holy Spirit will help reveal Him to you if you ask.

Hey bros, the whomever does not lie with God, it lies with us. It just like saying for God so love the world............ that whosoever believe will not be destroyed but av eternal life. What about those who do not believe? Will God force us to believe? He created us as free moral agents not as robot. So when we make our choices whether good or bad we benefit or suffer the consequences. Moses once told the Israelites : I put life and death before u, the curses and the blessings, but choose life so that you may live. Of course it's only rational to expect all of them to choose life. But their choices is not in their lips but it comes from their heart and how they live their lives. So God shows mercy to whomever deserved to be shown I.e those who sin and repent and vows not to go back to their old ways and jeep to their vows. What if we sin and we pray for repentance and still go back to our old ways? Ur guess is as good as mine. Conclusion is simple. God is not partial but in EVERY NATION the man that fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.Acts 10 v 34, 35

tell me about the choices Job's first family and workers made in order to deserve suffering and deaths

Study 2 Peters 1: 2 , Col. 1:9..the right knowledge deposited in the heart&mind can unviels to you more "goodies" in Christ Jesus! Especially since grace & truth finally manifested and we could possess it, as it possesses us, through him(John 1:17). The Mosaic laws couldn't give grace&truth!--2 Corinthians 3:7---18..
2 Peter 1:2-4
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.


Lol you should study more! vs 2 explicitly states that grace be multiplied (which means some people have grace even before they were born) through the knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus. The questions are who grants us this knowledge? And is this conditioned on our fulfilling something first? Or does God simply give understanding to those He has chosen? Vs 3 answers the question!

Colossians 1:9
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives

It doesn't look like they were praying for anybody. Or does it? So who were they praying for? People who have become like them. Who they heard have been saved by grace. And they began praying that they be filled (with what they have) with the knowledge of God's will. It didn't look like they were trusting on men to do they filling!

many are around that are fully blessed but they don't believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour, they see Him as a prophet e.g the Muslims. Aren't they blessed also?
It depends on the blessing we are talking about. The thread isn't about "sun shining on everyone" but God giving some eternal life through Jesus and allowing others go to their place.

Which one is Mazda again? Is that a god too? I thought it was a car brand. Are Toyota, Mercedes, BMW, Innoson gods too?

Enough of all these. Are their multiple gods or its just One that everyone believes created them? If it's only one God, then which one is the right one? Yahweh? Allah? your Mazda? the over two dozen other gods Indians and Chinese alone believe in? This stuff gets confusing, especially knowing people look at each other differently just on religious basis.
The GOD who created all the ones you have mentioned doesn't even want to be known, or else the development of the world will be slower, as we can see right now. God the Universe the father of Yahweh, Vishnu, Allah, Mazda, Enlil and so on isn't the GOD of religion but the God who loves human to use their brains and advance the course of humanity.

I really don't get your question . But as a child of God , his word is our guide. If we look deeply, we would know God is merciful.
if he takes record of our sins and evil ways , Who will stand?

All you said are based on the teachings from Christianity.

Anyway, based on these teachings, does God no sin and commit evil?

I know some will say I've committed the abominable.. .lol

Re: Don't You Think God Is A Partial God? by trappatoni(m): 8:51am On Apr 11, 2017
God (Yahuwah Elohim) is not partial, He loves you more than you love Him and loves you more than you love yourself. He knew you'll not be able to keep His laws that's why He introduced grace. Righteousness is either by grace or law and righteousness leads to salvation.

By law you'll have to keep the commandments which are written on tombstones, this is external and seeks to put your mortal self under check. However if you break one of the commandments you break all and you'll not be saved. The laws are not bad by themselves but by nature the flesh is rebellious, they actually show us why we needed to be saved.

Grace and law are mutually exclusive. It's either you're under grace or operating under law. Grace on the other hand achieves righteousness through faith. It is a gift which you receive by acknowledging the fact that you've falling short of the standard of Elohim. This is where seek and you'll shall be given comes in. Seek the kingdom and every other thing will be added on to you says Yeshuah(Jesus ). Let the spirit guide you on your journey. The spirit is your teaher, remembrancer, guide, revelator and administrator.

So to your question if God is partial, it depends on which path you're on, do you rely on yourself seeking earnestly to keep the law or you're following Yeshuah's way through the spirit.

Because if you're operating under law and you see someone operating under grace it will look as if He's partial but He's not, it's your choice at the end of the day. REMEMBER HE GAVE YOU FREEWILL. CHOOSE WISELY.

N.B: What i have written is backed up by scripture. He is at your door waiting for you to open it.

God is all knowing because if u have two options in life A and B he knows where exactly A will lead u to and where exactly B will lead u. But he allows u make those choices.
The first Jesus prophesied about Judas betrayal it was already written dat he knew Judas had been stealing from him
So he knew d choice Judas made and where it would lead him to

Bros there's no record that Judas stole from the Treasury. Why una de add to the scripture? Pls show me d place in d bible.. Saul committed lesser sims than David. Paul the apostle was a brutal killer. Achan only stole gold once and he was destroyed with his entire household, what did his household do. In Judges 19 thru 20. There are very controversial stories of pples families being destroyed because someone sinned or disobeyed. Why shuld innocent pple be destroyed for a sin another man committed? It's all over the scriptures. Y shuld I suffer because my ancestors served idols? Na me serve idol?. Lts be bold to ask pertinent questions .we have right to ask cos we are creatures of God, made in His image and likeness
Wat u called boldness i call it temerity. D day u choose to be called a Christian dat is d day u choose not to ask some questions.
And pls in other not to sound foolish do a little research before u start displaying ur ignorance go to John 12:6

There are many ways to activate dat grace.
Peter and Judas: Judas was not destined to betray Jesus but someone needed to do the betrayal and Judas who had been [b]stealing from d treasury[b/b] made himself available for devil to use him.
Peter had activated grace by following Jesus with all his heart and commitment.
SAUL AND DAVID
Saul was a proud man, he was also disobedient unlike David who was in continual obedience and giving of praises to God.

BEST ANSWER. My God can't and can never be partial. "He showeth mercies to who he will".Who is d mercy for?. in as much as the mercy is for someone,the mercy is for no one and for everyone,depending on your heart,nd actions(2 Chronicles 16:9).The hearth and choices of these men dis qualified nd approved them, just as the hearth and choices of so many is currently deceiving them.


Why will he show mercy to whom he chooses to show it (ie selected few) are all creatures no longer what he created in his own image. If he selects the people he shows mercy that is pure partiality.

You are missing the most important thing which is to believe and you are celebrating works.

Grace isn't merited bro. That's why its grace. But Jesus has died and salvation has been perfected for[b] all[/b] who believe; and this is the very nature of God (all through - "He didn't change"!) that was revealed in Christ. So God is not partial.

tell me about the choices Job's first family and workers made in order to deserve suffering and deaths

keyword: "Job's first family and workers.

Can I take this to mean that you are also asking what choice or sin did Christ make for him to suffer and die? Do u know the moral of Jobs story, do u also know God blessed job double for all the things he lost. The moral of Jobs story was about integrity and loyalty, God allowed those things to happen to Job so as to prove to Satan who challenged him that nobody will serve God when the goings are bad. Job was faithful and loyal eben when he lost everything proving the devil to be a liar.like the bible said God blessed Job double than want he had initially and his brothers and sisters and friends all came back. And he came to have additional 10 children. So how are you sure that those children and workers were not brogt back to life as did Jesus who was ressurected after he died a sinless man.
