OneManLegion: I will advice you to put all your questions together so that you and Him shall have a go at each other. When he says the following to you, you say what you said here to Him. Here is what He says; Isaiah 45:9-12 Does a clay pot dare argue with its maker, a pot that is like all the others? Does the clay ask the potter what he is doing? Does the pot complain that its maker has no skill? Do we dare say to our parents, “Why did you make me like this?” The Lord, the holy God of Israel, the one who shapes the future, says: “You have no right to question me about my children or to tell me what I ought to do! I am the one who made the earth and created human beings to live there. By my power I stretched out the heavens; I control the sun, the moon, and the stars. Pls don't forget to present your case when he says this to Him. Shalom. 2 Likes |

OneManLegion:And, have you ever gone demanding from your parents why they ever had to have sex to have you? Why haven't you told them or even suit them to court for not aborting you? |

hopefulLandlord:Then why do you always jump into threads that talks about God? If God doesn't exist, then he shouldn't be responsible for any thing you keep accusing him of. If he exists, then we can continue to talk about those things and how they came about. 2 Likes |

Josephjnr:Yes nah. These people want the God they can control. It's a choice, rule, or be ruled. God rules on dictates, Laws, Commands and order, not by democracy. It's either we accept or reject it. If we accept it, the door opens and we enter, if we reject it, whatever you encounter out there, it's on you. 1 Like |

OneManLegion: ***smiles*** Your mode of reasoning makes for a good laugh after a stressful day. Let's take a closer look: OneManLegion:Man was made after the image of God, and given powerful attributes that we may not even begin to be capable of comprehending, even as at today. So it therefore follows that the collective will of man is not to be toiled with. God is bound by his own principles, as a just Person. He says Whatever you bind on earth, shall be bound in Heaven also... Think about that. You cannot give what you don't have. No ASI can be more intelligent than the cumulative intelligence of its programmers. So you do agree here that a creator is indeed amenable to being destroyed by his own creation, but the mark of a truly smart and intelligent manufacturer is the ability to put in place appropriate prophylactic mechanisms. Same thing I have been telling you: this is a quality handed down to man by a Maker he so passionately denies. First, irrespective of whether mankind would have found Heaven or not, the act itself was a rebellion against the Almighty and that couldn't have gone without punishment - a light one at that. Second, we still do not know where Heaven is. Whether it is in the stratosphere, here with us on earth or in another galaxy, we can't say. I guess those of us fortunate enough to make it will find out later. After all, even the Garden of Eden is here on earth [from both Biblical & Scientific evidence] yet no man has been able to find it because it has been hidden from man's physical eyes. Same thing could have happened concerning Heaven. We studied a poem in junior school, The Blind Men & The Elephant. You can Google it later if you have not already come across it. It is about some blind men who visited an elephant and because of their visual limitations, they had to rely on other senses like hearing, touch etc to describe it. So while the one who felt the knee described the elephant as being like a tree, the one who touched the broad body said it was like a wall while another referred to the giant pachyderm as being like a sharp spear just because he felt the tusk! So what I'm saying in essence is that in as much as we may claim to know it all because we have read so much, we are still very much limited in our sensory perceptions by virtue of being humans. Maybe one day we'll find out that the Christian was right all along and the atheist wrong, or vice versa, or maybe both theists and atheists are wrong and there's a third explanation. I guess we'll get to know as time goes on, or on the Last Day. Until then, keep doing what you believe in. Thanks for a rather lively session. You have made my day. I'll pray for you. 1 Like |

701ecilana: Please tell me the meaning of sin. I am open to learn more if what you will say is not what I already know. |
Re: Is Eternity In Hellfire A Fair Punishment For Sin? by 701ecilana: 10:01pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
uboma:Sin is a disease of the Spirit, just like Cancer is the disease of the flesh. The way Cancer ravishes and destroys the flesh, so also sin ravishes and destroys the Spirit. |

701ecilana: This is just what I posted earlier, what scriptural backing do you have to these claims of yours? Do you know Christ himself when he died went to preach in spirit prison? (1 Peter 3:18-19). Why would Christ preach to spirits in spirit prison if no mercy for spirit? Please understand your Bible first, do not use human wisdom in things of God. One love. |

milkymesh: Even with the teachings of eternal hell, people still commit sin unrestrained. What will happen if the Bible teaches hell is not forever? Even you cannot stay secured on this earth. |
Re: Is Eternity In Hellfire A Fair Punishment For Sin? by Peacefullove: 6:41pm On Sep 27, 2017 |
Ken4Christ: Have you forgotten what your bible said at Revelation 20 vs 14 ? Hell was casted into the lake of fire . does that not prove it's not forever ? Meanwhile, how can Hell be casted into fire .. Is hell an individual to be punished by fire, or for what sin was it casted there ? Am glad you admit the man created threat of hell by the pastorpreneurs hasn't stop badness, and it has even worsen it . it's a Falsely created Fear in the mind of those who believe it . just thinking about it is enough to make any rational person know its false . 1 Like |

A man stole mango from a tree because he is hungry. A lady resorted to prostitution because his parents died and no support from anywhere. Evans kidnapped, killed and extorted millions from victim because he needed a big house and Benz. Alade killed his neighbors child for money ritual. All four criminals are sentenced to death. Is the punishment fair to all the criminals. thesicilian: |
