bennyann:What? Seriously? Have you been drinking? |
Re: Who Are You To Question God? by bennyann: 6:11pm On Jul 17, 2017 |
Ranchhoddas: You're the one I've been drinking. Can't you see? God doesn't threaten anyone, He only gives Commandments. He gives rules and principles to follow. If you call all those threats, then do we call the country's constitution threat? We're in a democratic society, yet there are laid down rules governing us and we must follow it. Must I concentrate on the murder and the other evil the one I quoted analyzed before you admit I'm not drunk? How come when it comes to the God issue, you all behave as though you're in a righteousness competition with Him. You all only remember others are sick and poor because it concerns God. Do you love them more than the creator? If you are not ready to go by the rules of a certain society, then why would you blame the ruler in that particular society for the consequences you find yourself in the other society of your choice? I will repeat this again, if you claim God is evil, what can you do about it, if he is? I mean, what could you have done to free yourself from Him? This is a question that's causing comprehension issues here. If the one who has all the power over you, is evil as you guys claim, what then can you do about it? Ah! I'm so grateful and so thankful that our creator is a compassionate God, patient, loving and He doesn't misuse His power. I can't say more than this because I do not know if I can explain better than this. |

bennyann: What can be more delightful than self deceit, ignorance and delusions. Wow! you claim you are under the protection of Yahweh, but in the face of obvious proofs that Yahweh worshippers enjoy no benefit special from any other person, you begin to create excuses for him again and speak of an afterlife. Let me expand your thinking, if while you are alive, you cannot see the undoubtedly evidences of Yahweh's protection in your life, then what guaranty do you have for of an afterlife you have never been. is that not too much foolishness...All I ask is for you to think outside the box, can that guy be trusted?? Delusions can be sweet, nothing is more precious dan fantasies of gold plated streets and you twerking your ass all the days of your eternity to the white bearded Jew master living in the sky. 3 Likes |

bennyann:I don't like this Bennyann at all. First, it is absurd to compare the laws of a democracy to the laws of the biblical God. In a democracy, everyone, including you and I is part of the law making process. We do this by electing our senators and house members. In fact, anyone can aspire to these positions if they so desire. This is not so for the God you are trying to sell to us who clearly operates an autocracy. People get angry at your God because you and your ilk say that He can solve all the world's problems with a snap of His fingers but refuses until His outrageous demands are met. Even when people try to meet these demands, He still disappoints them. It's like Dangote telling a roadside beggar to lick his shoes before giving him money for food, and failing to give him the money when he eventually does it. If na you you no go question am? |

Ranchhoddas: I'm sorry you don't like it dear. But even if I were to be an atheist, the op's question is still something to ponder on. If humans need rules to guide them, is it God that shouldn't give rules? I'm not saying we can't question God or we shouldn't but who really are we to? His autocracy is his default style because He is God. He also has a democratic style so you can reason with Him like Abraham did in the Bible . Why should this question make my atheistic friends unstable it is a question that shows if we all come to know that there's one true God, then who are we to question Him. We can only make noise here all day or better still reject Him as God but that doesn't change and can't change His status. And Dear, I do question Him. but I don't plan on leaving Him 1 Like 1 Share |

realmindz: is this you? You mean you can write beautifully like this without insulting my ego? bravo dear I must confess, the bolded is funny but it's my ass not yours so leave it for the master And talking about protection, God has protected me on several occasions that makes no sense but I also know some unbelievers have that unique grace of protection from God too. And only God knows why it's like that. If nature can shower both the good and bad with its beauty, who am I to say the righteous are more favored on earth than the unrighteous. But there's one thing I'm very sure of, there's a difference between a God fearing person and the one who isn't. When you stay with such a person, you who isn't a believer can tell the real difference if you're truthful. That's my personal belief What I can say here is I trust God even through the bad times, even when He seem far away, even when it seem it's difficult for me to pray, the person within me just can't let go. The real me within is so connected that the flesh can't do whatever it wills. God comes around for me and for all those times it seems He never came around, He will definitely come around and I will understand Him better then. But I'm going nowhere without Him dear cos I know His value in my life. 1 Like |

Ranchhoddas: I choose to trust Him. It's a matter of choice and He has given us the power to use it however way we want. He keeps to His words. There's nothing wrong with waiting on Him. |

bennyann: Do you understand what deism means? belief in the existence of a God on the evidence of reason and nature only, with rejection of supernatural revelation So how am I not being honest? I am a child of God. |

bennyann:Why then do you get upset when others choose other paths, seeing as you have made your own choice? |

obinna58: Well Obi....I promise not to "preach", only because I'm not called to be a preacher nor do I ever believe that I've "preached" to you. We've had a few discussions...but I certainly wasn't giving you a sermon those times... You are interesting "at times" cause I know you're sincerely trying....but it's just that I get lost with your statements sometimes... |

Ranchhoddas: Upset? There's nothing wrong in becoming upset for a while because I'm human but please, when did I get upset? I only remember discouraging myself from encouraging someone to insulting my God continuously. It would be soo foolish of me to give someone a reason to continously insult my God when discussing with him so I tried cutting short the conversation. But I apologize if I offended you in anyway. Dear you've not given me any reason to be upset with you. And believe me, you won't see my write ups as upsetting at all if you translate them to pidgin English Sorry dear 2 Likes 1 Share |
