How united are your own family that came from the same womb and speak the same language. Or how united are people from your village that speak the same language and have the same culture? God is afraid of your unity? Now pay attention. The same reason God put Adam and Eve away from Eden is similar to the reason he scattered men's language. If you still can't figure it out, apologise for the insults and then I'll elaborate. I admit there are difficult questions but just because we don't have answers doesn't mean there aren't answers. Even when you don't understand yet, humble yourself before God. Zooposki: |

I'm actually happy to talk to you; you raise valid points. Okay, for starters, the fact that God chose Jacob and not Esau automatically puts Esau in 'rejected' zone. But God did not value 'love' Esau any less than He loved Jacob. No, I disagree that God loved Esau less. Do you know one of the reasons God chose the Hebrews to be His possession out of the whole human race? It's an elaborate plan to reconcile the whole human race to God. From the way you've been talking, I'm sure you understand what I mean. It's because of the Jews that salvation is available today to anyone anywhere in the world. There had to be a starting point, the need for God to select one out of many so that through the one, the many will be brought in. And as for Jeremiah, imagine Elon Musk. Elon and his designers conceive an idea, they make a sketch of that idea, and then they begin to develop the vehicle. Elon Musk could say to any of his Teslas: I knew you before you were even a prototype' in the sense that the Tesla is not a product of chance.Jeremiah was not born by chance neither is any human being. A Tesla may still misbehave. Jeremiah definitely had a choice to follow or unfollow God. Even if a script was written for Jeremiah, he had a choice to follow that script or not. As for God not loving the wicked, why are we charged to preach the gospel? Why? Why is evangelism the heartbeat of God? Ezekiel 18:21-23 [21]But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. [22]All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. [23]Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? In conclusion, Jesus died for every human being- everyone. I realize you may even be a believer so it hurt me that you talked like that. That passage says, WHOSOEVER BELIEVES WILL NOT PERISH. Those who join a club are the members- the chosen. It doesn't mean that others are forbidden or overlooked from joining. We're preaching every day so that more people will join us. That's what the gospel is all about. I wish that you and me will sit down and have a long talk because I think you reason very well. quote author=BlueAngel444 post=86697221] I already wrote in that post that the hate, which is rejection also means love less. You really didn't have to restate like I missed it na. Anyway God's judgements are justified. Jeremiah 1:5, Romans 8:30 the concept of predestination is hard to those who don't know God. I said know, I didn't say those who believe or don't believe He exists. God knew Jeremiah before he was even formed in the womb. Can you grasp that for a moment. God had already judged him a prophet even before he knew what breathing was, and God justified his judgement. God have chosen men without giving any explanation other than he ordained it so. That he made it so. Meaning like some posted "acting according to script" His writings. God so loved THE WORLD not God so loved You won't find a single scripture that tells us God loves wicked and evil men. It like another scripture I asked about, "world without end" but sir this world is said to end. This is where we need to understand what world means. Because there are phrases in the scripture that refers to different worlds, the world of men and the world that is of God. If you read the posts in this link https://www.nairaland.com/5680837/seen-kingdom-god You will understand Jesus didn't die for everyone. John 3:16 those who believe Those who believe are those who God reveals Himself to. So you see God has been choosing and deciding for a long time. That explains what John says "those who left where NEVER a part of us" Jesus said those who come are brought by the Father. He also said it is not in man to save himself. Picture something already decided from the foundation of the world, names already written. Numbers already recorded. Everything already planned out. We are not speaking about probability here but certainty. I don't disagree that God values the whole world but I disagree that God values every human the same because many will perish because they are not of God and never were.[/quote] |

ibinaboonline:Disagreeing with what scripture says, what God says, really honestly i have learnt that humility is learning how to accept God's choice (so hard mehn, so hard) Do you know one of the reasons God chose the Hebrews to be His possession out of the whole human race? It's an elaborate plan to reconcile the whole human race to God. From the way you've been talking, I'm sure you understand what I mean. It's because of the Jews that salvation is available today to anyone anywhere in the world. There had to be a starting point, the need for God to select one out of many so that through the one, the many will be brought in.true but still doesn't disagree with that God preferred to use Jacob than Esau, thereby rejecting Esau and choosing Jacob. You see no part of God contradicts himself we all just have to readjust and understand. And as for Jeremiah, imagine Elon Musk. Elon and his designers conceive an idea, they make a sketch of that idea, and then they begin to develop the vehicle. Elon Musk could say to any of his Teslas: I knew you before you were even a prototype' in the sense that the Tesla is not a product of chance.Jeremiah was not born by chance neither is any human being. A Tesla may still misbehave. Jeremiah definitely had a choice to follow or unfollow God.LOL, haaa, if only you have met God, you will understand why even the devil fears him. You think Jeremiah would have chosen not to do what God says, Balaam was almost killed, Jonah had to beg for mercy in the belly of a fish. Sir we become aware of God and not God of us. Every move every breathe every thought He knows, as unbelievable as that sounds that's exactly the truth. Even if a script was written for Jeremiah, he had a choice to follow that script or not.May you have an encounter with God to truly understand Him, everything God said to Jeremiah that he would face he faced it, even though he shouted, cried, questioned God just strengthen him As for God not loving the wicked, why are we charged to preach the gospel? Why? Why is evangelism the heartbeat of God? Ezekiel 18:21-23Ya God has no pleasure that's why it grieves him In conclusion, Jesus died for every human being- everyone. I realize you may even be a believer so it hurt me that you talked like that. That passage says, WHOSOEVER BELIEVES WILL NOT PERISH. Those who join a club are the members- the chosen. It doesn't mean that others are forbidden or overlooked from joining. We're preaching every day so that more people will join us. That's what the gospel is all about. I wish that you and me will sit down and have a long talk because I think you reason very well.the Holy Spirit sent by God converts people not our words but the power of God. Not flesh or blood but by his spirit. We proclaim the kingdom of God, that is preaching the gospel that does who are to be saved may hear it and be saved. God has always and will always hate and reject wickedness. That will never change. The wicked reject God. Even the wickedness in me He hates, but for some reason best known to Him he counts us worthy why He says He made it so. Sir there's a BIG difference between the works of man, religion and the work of God. God only uses us to save others and even if no one preaches God will send his servant to the one HE WANTS TO SAVE. Fact there are people God save just before they die because it was God's choice not their's. HE DECIDED TO BRING THEM TO THAT POINT. SIR GOD IS NOT JUST POWERFUL. GOD IS THE DEFINITION OF POWER. I wish I truly wish he would open your eye to see him. You see I'm not quoting scripture again I am telling you an eye witness account. |

fyneboi79: Misunderstanding a statement doesn't change the true intent of the statement, though it clouds it for others who try to understand it. Similar with scripture if the false teachers, false prophets lie just like he Pharisees, did to the Jews, men will reject the truth because they don't recognize it as such. That's why people can't recognize and understand the truth because for far too long we have taught lies and a lie about God's true intentions. But God reveals the truth to all those who diligently search and seek for it, with a genuine heart. |

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by Roycemadeit(m): 7:37pm On Feb 16, 2020 |
tejpot: Having read through, I must say that you rightly understand "God" according to the Bible. The truth is the God you understand is man-made, he is not the God who created the universe, with its different entities, creatures and races. The Religious God could be likened to a mortal, better put an overgrown child, who is not close to knowing what tomorrow would bring, who reacts selfishly. Most of us who claim to understand how God is are mostly wrong. We keep running around while explaining and contradicting ourselves just as the Bible is. If your God can be aggrieved from man exercising his freewill, he should have made man perfect, except if he wanted to be aggrieved. .. Now, that's where you get it wrong. Christians believe man fell into imperfection because of the original sin. But, I dare you to believe that God, not the Christian God, is PERFECT and so he could never have made anything IMPERFECT not even the devil, who he never created. |

Unclesamo: If Chelsea and manU is playing a match and I watched the match before u If when you watching I said Chelsea missed a penalty. Does me watching it before u watched it influence the person who missed the penalty? That God watched how you lived your life even before you started living doesn't mean he interfered in it. All decisions were still made by you only that he knows the beginning and the end of you life even before u started living it. |

BlueAngel444: How come he didn't see that Eve will give Adam the forbidden fruit? Why did God ask them where they are? (That means if Adam had lied he would have accepted).. He predestines and predetermines it....? Does that mean the free will given to man is a façade? |

fyneboi79: We are just arguing and next you abuse me, shows the type of person you are. There are people who have experienced God, its not just cos of some ancient people. If you think critically, you will see that there are a God. Just a look at DNA, you will see it did not write itself or happen by accident. |

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by Ikem11(m): 6:14am On Feb 17, 2020 |
Unclesamo: No God didn't create anyone for destruction. Bible says " in the beginning God created" that word beginning means there is "first" "original plan" There is a beginning before God start making plans meaning before that beginning God wasn't thinking about creation of man... His spirit was hovering around the dark universe like the Bible clearly stated. When God first think about creating man, he made Adam in the intention of them having a fellowship ( which we have now as church) When God make decisions He doesn't go back from it because He is not a God of mistakes. But man sinned and deviated from Gods original plan of it and sin entered (remember God don't interfere in our free will of choice cos He made man in His image not animals) If a man deviate from God's plan for him next is destruction. That doesn't mean God made him for destruction man choosed destruction. God told Jonah to go tell people of Nineveh of Gods plan to destroy them but they all repented ( going back to God's original plan) and God spared them. |

Widall: When someone repents, it doesn't realy mean that he repented from doing something wrong. A reverse in one's decision can also be termed as repentance. Let's assume you were reluctant going to church but finally you decided to go to church, it means you repented..... Invariably, He repented by reversing His decision........ |
