livingchrist: Oh really? You're hilarious Now sin can contaminate? And babies can no longer be pure? 2 Likes |

1Sharon:yes sin contaminates, all humans already bear the contaminated nature of Adam, hence death happens to all even babies, the choices of one person can affect a generation, family or a nation, for example babies as well as adults are all suffering the consequences of bad leadership in Nigeria. |

livingchrist: So babies are not sinless? In that case, can they go to hell for eternity? 1 Like |
Re: Why Didn't God Kill The Devil? by livingchrist: 10:53pm On Apr 22, 2021 |
1Sharon:Babies cannot go to hell, because they have committed no sin and will be redeemed from their corruptible state through the sacrifice of Jesus. The ability to commit sin is already in them but they are innocent until they have grown to possess knowledge of right and wrong, and are able to make decisions. |

stinjoe: So "what God cannot do" actually exists? Christians always making a joke of themselves. 3 Likes |

stinjoe: "we cannot question God", "his ways are not our ways", "you can't understand it with a carnal mind", "he works in mysterious ways". All these washed up lame excuses are not valid any longer. Even your fellow Christian colleagues here don't use them anymore, because they know how dumb those phrases sound. 3 Likes |

Ihedinobi3: It is the fact that you think that "calamity" is a better word or a more appropriate word for a supposed "good god". Ask yourself, shey calamity na good thing? What makes calamity worse than evil if all they do is cause harm and destruction? Ehn? 1 Like |

1Sharon: I don't believe that I have claimed anywhere that I know the sins of all those who are punished by God. Am I some sort of cosmic policeman? I don't know everybody's sin. I do know that everybody, including babies, sins. But I also know that sometimes the sufferings we experience are not because of our own sins. In the Bible, David's infant son died not long after birth because David murdered Uriah after committing adultery with Bathsheba in order to hide his sin. We know that this was the punishment that God levied on David. We aren't told anything about the baby dying because of its own sin. The Bible in this way teaches us that others we love can suffer when we sin, not because the Lord is punishing them for our sin but because their suffering causes pain to us. This is part of the punishment for sin: cursing by association. As for the babies who die because they are connected to people who sin terribly against God, they are automatically saved. So, while death is painful and a real loss in many ways, having eternity with God is an incomparable compensation for that loss. They may have missed out on life on earth, but that is nothing at all if they will spend eternity in bliss with God. 1 Like |

Jayrockk:The devil is just the aid to the planting of the seed of evil. He is not the direct cause of 90% of the evil done by man. Killing the devil doesn't do anything if the infection of sin is in a man's life. Humans have the capacity to think to do both good and evil without the intervention of satan. So you question is like saying: what if we had killed the first armed robber in Nigeria, Nigeria would be the safest place on earth. |

Jayrockk:It was a test, an opportunity for Adam to either follow God or refuse him. There was a time that even the Angels had to choose whom they will follow, today everybody is presented with the opportunity to choose whether to accept God or reject him. 1 Like |

Jayrockk:The forbidden fruit was an examination. God gave man volition. Volition is only truely given when constraints to negative actions are not enforced. Volition is when you park your car at home, leave the key on the table but tell your son not to drive the car outside your gate. Volition is not given when you disable the car, remove the keys and then tell your son not to go out with the car. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is a test if man will choose to voluntarily live under Gods rule and authority OR For man to become the source of the knowledge of (what is ) good and evil or right and wrong. In other words, man decides for himself right and wrong. 1 Like |

1Sharon:The Tree was the tree that produces independence from God in the determination and knowlege of what is good and what is evil |
Re: Why Didn't God Kill The Devil? by shadeyinka(m): 1:28pm On Apr 23, 2021 |
Jman24:All satan did was to tempt man to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The fruit was like a virus that triggered man to begin to see himself as the standard of morality rather than God (knowlege of good and evil) |

Because every story with a hero needs a villain, else the hero becomes useless, the people that wrote the Bible didn't really think it through. 3 Likes |

Jayrockk: Satan is a spirit, spirits are not exactly made to die in the sense that we know death. Devil has been judged and is to be cast in the lake of fire at the time appointed. As to why we are tempted either by devil or the tree etc. We are tempted to be toughened, trusted and purified. It's like asking why crude oil is refined to be made useful. The process of refining is not funny or cool, but without it most precious minerals will be pretty much useless. |
