How can someone delibrately deny the existence of God? the truth is that no one just woke up one morning and decided to become an atheist. It takes extensive time for concealed truth to be known, believe it or not there is no proveable evidence for the existence God, if you think am lying provide your evidence on this thread lets deal with it.
Nobody deliberately choose to believe in God!
It takes time to be fully convinced that there is an invisible mighty spirit being somewhere.
But when it comes to evidence then we have to be open minded before we can see reasons why others choose to believe (trust) in either the existence of God or themselves! smiley

Atheism wasnt a choice to me. I begged God to help me stop having doubt but it was too late because I had eaten the forbidden fruit of knowledge. I later realised that forcing myself to believe in God after what I knew was like a child forcing himself to crawl after learning to walk so I set myself free and never turned back that was when everything made sense.

i believe you were born a christian, and you are a christian because your parents are christians not because you were convinced to believe in God.

The highlighted proved that i am right because i was born, bread and raised a Muslim.

So don't just conclude that it's what the parents handed over to the child that everyone love doing till they die.
I began believing in God when i first heard of "CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS" as a Muslim i see Christians as bunch of hypocrites and liars because Jesus never raised a weapon against anyone be it friend or foe.
So when i heard of CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS i was totally confused. Then i began searching for this army to know their mode of operations and the weapons they are using.
As a soldier i know that our primary duty is not to KILL but DISARM the enemies, killing becomes the last option when the enemies will neither surrender or retreat.
So i wanted to know how the CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS will disarm their enemies without bloodshed but it's like there is never going to be an army that will fight like Jesus: PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE!

I was beginning to loose faith in God and then i found the CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!
They are disarming their enemies and turning them into brothers and sisters in the same faith. Unlike our own mode of operations they will not raise a weapon against anyone but win the battle through psychological weapons (reasoning with their enemies)
Normally the CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS will win all forms of battle but then their principal enemy Satan is using a means that's unprofessional in the military.
NO NEGOTIATION!
The Christians are prepared to negotiate with anyone and what makes it easier for them to soften the hearts of any enemy?
They are prepared to allow the enemies rule over them as long as you will permit them to continue worshiping their God. As they keep on their psychological warfare the enemies won't even know that they're fighting against them. How? Because they will not confront the enemies using force or weapons rather they will continue using the weapon they knew best God's Word (Bible)

With all these i can't just close my eyes to the fact that Jesus truly is a mighty spirit King as he's gathering millions of victims from different races throughout the earth and making them his subjects as they vow never to raise weapons against anyone again! Isaiah 2:2-4

They are known as JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! smiley

What are saying max?

Did they not clearly tell us that they became atheist because they did not want to kill themselves because God Rejected them?

So they need a place of belonging before they die God's Destruction!

And you believe that a loving God will send those he created in his image to burn im hell fire forever and forever?

Change of Post! But to lightly comment.

A loving God is supposed to have an equally loving creations.

And all creations who have done wickedly in anger of their Loving God must not escape the wickedness they have done.

If creations have done the good, they should get the good.

But when they have done great wickedness, surely, they should get hell.

That should tell you that you were never a Christian if you don't understand that.
Because people call the same name doesn't mean they're worshipers of the same God!
The first century Jewish religious leaders claims they're worshiping the God of Moses, Jesus also claims he's a worshiper of the same God but they're always contradicting one another! Matthew 12:24; John 8:44
So how did Jesus help us to unravel the mystery?
Well Jesus taught us that God is a spirit and so His worshipers will worship in spirit and truth {John 4:24} so if you're from Canada and i am from Australia once we share the same line of thought it simply means we are worshiping the same SPIRIT (GOD) Matthew 12:46-50 compare to John 17:22

I know worshipers of my own God, they are in all the countries of the world and we share the same line of thought WE ARE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! smiley

Apart from us all other religions will continue to contradict themselves even if they're from the same religion (church) that's the secret to distinguish between pure worship and false religions! Luke 11:23 smiley

Where did I say that I left christianity because I prayed for something and didn't get. You guys just watched heaven is real and believe that people become atheists because they are angry with god. on the contrary, I became an atheist when I was in 100level, few months before that I prayed to god for admission and I got it. My life was very comfortable as it is now. I have no reason to be angry with god.
I became an atheist because life without god in the equation makes more sense to me. With god it is full of lies, loopholes, contradictions and unnecessary fears.

They won't understand because being in religion is like wearing shaded eye glasses, Christians wear blue shaded glasses and everything looks blue to them, Muslims wear red shaded glasses and everything looks red to them. Atheism is like removing those glasses and seeing everything for what they are.

If you ask 5 students to study diligently the same textbook and come back to give you their reports on what they read, surely you'll notice correlations but each student will be driven by his/her feelings so their conclusion and conviction about the topic will vary.
But when a teacher comes in to TEACH all the students then you will see that each may have his/her style of report but their conviction will be accurately the same, there will be perfect understanding and peace will reign among the students!
That's what happens when God's Active Force is responsible for TEACHING people what is found written in the Bible {John 14:26-27} they will all have the same line of thought no matter where they are or their nationality! John 17:22
But when people read the Bible without the guidance of God's Holy Spirit even when they're attending the same church as in the same building their thoughts will surely differ! Luke 11:23 smiley

How do you know you are born-again? undecided

According to Jesus Christ, those who are born-again are also born of Spirit.. what kind of spirit lives inside of you? What other sign is there as proof that you believe - Mark 16 vs 15 - 19? undecided

You did not need to say it, we all see and know why you declared your Anti-God position. Your elders in company have so disclosed them all, so we know.

Secondly, your explanation is so ridiculous and laughable. How can a person have travelled from Lagos to Kaduna with a Toyota Highlander only to reach Kaduna and say that he abandoned the vehicle to walk back down to Lago?

Even a Primary 5 Student will not believe you.

But anyway, it's your story and your life you choose to destroy or maintain as you think good or evil for you. I am not affected anyway.

I left religion because it is full of lies. The ridiculous claims they made did not conform to reality so I chose reality and I can defend my choice anywhere because it wasn't made out of fear or hatred but out of search for knowledge and truth.

The mere fact you had Liars for Teachers does not vitiate Truth, Truths as expressed in the Bible which is substantially corroborated by Nature and Natural Living.

But as Nature has also shown us, there are amongst us people who choose death over Life eg Overspeeders, Drug Users, sexual promiscuity etc.

But exactly as the Bible said, people do have a choice to choose Life or death, Blessings or Curses and after they have chosen, there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Why do you like assuming things too much? did I tell you that people lied to me? I read the bible myself and it didn't correlate with reality.
