I was indifferent about religion until events unfold and I needed something or someone to give me confidence,guide me and more. I chose God! No regrets whatsoever. |

sodsak:You misunderstand the bible which makes me assume you are an atheist or your church doesn't teach the word of God Jesus is the SON of God and no their power did not subjugate his for it was the will of The father for his only begotten son to be crucified to pay the price for mankind. Jesus himself knew his mission on earth. You say he drank and ate do you think it would've been normal to see a human being who doesn't eat or drink he had to behave normally to bring his message to those who needed it 1 Like |

The answer is very simple but I don't know why people refuse to see it... GOD IS OMNIPOTENT BUT HAS GIVEN MAN FREEWILL (I give u this day life and death but I advise you choose life) |

No doubt questions that has been relevant from time immemorial..... as a born again christian , i have found answers to these and any other doubts u may have concernin the christian faith. The answers are found in that book called the BIBLE, yes the BIBLE; most religion refer to it as that book, becos it contains the message of truth and has answers to all life questions, it will lead u to fellowship with the father which is his ultimate desire. It would be easier if u are a born again christian (A topic for anoda day), that is acceptin Jesus Christ the son of God as ur lord, this is becos after that, the father will send the holy spirit into ur life that will teach u all things.... he will help u understand the BIBLE. I don't want to dwell much on this so it will not seem as if i'm forcin christianity on anyone, so the answer to the questions is contained in the BIBLE. wherever u re, whatever religion u practice, study the BIBLE, and i pray God will help u understand. |

ADEWUMIMichael:I do have questions, but I eventually get answers to my prayer, even the mind buggling ones ADEWUMIMichael:Nothing to say on this ADEWUMIMichael:I see no amswes here ADEWUMIMichael:Well, I would also ask, how do you know there is no God. ADEWUMIMichael:There are evils on earth because satan is the ruler of this world, and if we don't pray as rightful owners of the earth through Adam, God won't do anything. Man died and the evil is the result of mans death, Jesus came to give us life ADEWUMIMichael:God recreated the earth after He destroyed it, Gen 1:28 said, be fruitful, multiply anf replenish, check out what replenish means, so God did that to the earth ADEWUMIMichael:Jesus trusted the Bible and this was what Jesus preached, so if Jesus preach this Bible, evidently I trust it. ADEWUMIMichael:There was an hypocrite among the followers of Jesus, its not new ADEWUMIMichael:Gods sovereignty is expressed through man. God gave the earth to man and man is still the tenant on earth, until Adams rent expire ADEWUMIMichael:God does not delight in sending people to hell, hell is just the consequence of our action, Adam brought it upon all men, all men would perish if Jesus never came, like I said, its still part of the death that came upon man when he ate the fruit ADEWUMIMichael:Trinity is not biblical, but my idea of Trinity is, Union, three person in union, what one agrees on, all agrees on ADEWUMIMichael:Jesus is the way, expressly stated, the only way, no other way ADEWUMIMichael:Not all roads leads to my house, some road leads you outside the city. ADEWUMIMichael:Our assignment is to preach, thanks to those who persecuted the church in historical Christianity ADEWUMIMichael:Relative, I don't understand 1 Like |

Re: 12 Questions People Ask About The Christian Faith by KENFERDYOORI(m): 10:04am On Jul 02, 2017 |
ADEWUMIMichael: Let's take them sequentially: 1. It's evident in created things 2. Evil and suffering are contingent. They're transient. 3. The 'how' that Evolutionism fails to explain, creationism explains. Thus both are saying similar things in different ways. 4. Because it's existential and contextual 5. The Church continues to strive towards perfection (It's both for saints and sinners) 6. Man's freedom removed from his creator is disguised bondage. Thus, the essence of man's freedom is in God's sovereignty. 7. We're created and given freewill; our failure to choose good isn't God's fault. The end result of such is hell. 8. It's a mystery, it's not within the province of rationalism but metaphysics (spiritualism) 9. Any Christian who says such is a fanatic. "Only one" is different from "Only true one. " 10. Can't argue that, haven't studied/practised every religion yet 11. Ignorance to an extent reduces the level of culpability 12. Apparently not! Some are but lack universal/objective validity —My little opinion though.... Thanks! |

MrMontella:Will you keep kwayet? Because you can't see God, doesn't mean He does not exist. There are many brain racking stuffs brought abt by science, though we don't or can't see or fully comprehend them but we believe it. It's not ur place to decide which religion is fake or not, just do what seems right to you. |

He is the one who mad us and We belong to him". Hebrew 3:4 also says "Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God". 2. Why does God permit suffering?

To the place from which the streams flow, there they return so as to flow again."-that's the bible describing wat scientist calls water circles.

Exodus 24:4 "Moses wrote down all the words of Jehovah." 1 Thessalonians 2:13 "When you received God's word, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God." also compare Daniel 7:1. 5.

You gain the knowledge of.

Matthew 7:21-23: "Not everyone saying to me, Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name... ? And yet then I will confess to them: I never knoew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness." Psalms 15. clearly outlines the qualities needed for one to be truly God's friend. |

Re: 12 Questions People Ask About The Christian Faith by isaaczik: 1:55pm On Jul 02, 2017 |
My brother i read your post and some feedback from some friends and i feel to make some things clear to you. If you posted this for clarity and education sake, please take a little time to read through my feedback. 1. How do you know there is a God?: Answer: If you look at the heaven rather sky you will see how high it is, it is like a roof over all the earth but there is no foundation or pillars holding it, does it marvel you? There is somebody that holds it, His name is God. If you think of how you sleep and loose consciousness of the world but comes back at the right time the next day, does it marvel you? Is God that keeps your time to sleep and wake up. When you pick the sand on the ground and try to look at it, what material it made of, but it grows every plant, does it marvel you? the maker is God? Your environment will always convince you that there is God. 2. How can there be a God when there is so much evil and suffering in the world? Answer: If you will think appropriately, you will believe me that evil is the work of man's disobedience to God's laws: God said seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other things will come your way, man disobeys Him by seeking other things forsaking righteousness. The blessings of God comes without sorrows while the disobedience to God gives satan chances to operate and torment men with evil and sorrows. But 2 Peter 2 vs 9, says that God has reserved the ungodly for the day of Judgement to be punished, God's timing is different from ours. 3. How can you reconcile belief in God with science and especially evolution? Answer: Before Science and evolution come, the word of God has been in existence. Genesis said that the earth in upon the waters, science has concord that the earth in on the waters. The Bible said that the word of God is holding the world and science has proved that the world is hanging on nothing but on the invisible word of God. Evolution itself is assumptions, hypotheses that has no prove. 4. How can you trust the Bible? Answer: God in generations has been communicating to his handmade through my ways: signs, dreams, words, writings. He told Moses to write down everything he has shown him for generations under him to read and obey so that they will be successful in the land and any or every disobedience against the word of God receives it corresponding reward that can even lead to death. 5. What about all the hypocrites in the church? Answer: Hypocrites is know an pretending. Pretending or hypocrites is every where. prophets, pastors and teachers teach against it. Many have repented of it while coming to church. 6. How do you reconcile God’s sovereignty with man’s freedom? Answer: Sovereignty means that God is Omnieverything, power, intelligent and not under anything it. It does not mean that God is a manipulator. The love for God should be out of freewill. If you love God freely then you are worth being called the son of God and you will enjoy his fatherhood. 7. How can a loving God send people to Hell? Answer: Every act of disobedience to God and His word has a reward. The reward of God is not spontaneous but you can not bear it. He wrath is as big as His goodness. He prepared heaven for man, and if man freely reject God, he has chosen the hell which is prepared for the disobedience of God. 8. How can any rational person believe in the Trinity? Answer: The word rational might mean right thinking person. Is it rational for man to believe that he can know the composition of God? Can you know the committee of God. Rational man believe God even when it is confusing to him. If you want to know everything about God, the devil will take that opportunity and derail you. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. 9. How do Christians get off saying their religion is the only one? Answer: There is Lagos but not all ways lead to Lagos, so is heaven. 10. Don’t all religions lead to the same God? Answer: There is Lagos but not all ways lead to Lagos, so is heaven. 11. What about those who have never heard? Answer: The nature teaches them about God. Meanwhile God is the right and perfect Judge. 12. Isn’t everything relative? Answer: The things of God has rules and procedures and is not relative. Obedience to God word and confession of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour brings your salvation. I know that these little opinions can assist you, you will understand some mysteries of God when you study the Bible the more. Also meet mature people in the faith and they will help you. you can call me and i will help you 08033482291. Thanks 1 Like 1 Share |
