Why can't human think outside the box?

Whether he even exists or not..the question really is that why should you believe in God? When you say God..what comes to your mind? An entity sitting up high in the skies, playing chess with everyone's life?

Is that what you want a proper thinking human to believe? undecided

I don't know what you have gone through in life, as relating God to the events in our lives may make one begin to question the existence of God, but in all, just know that God didn't promise us life of full enjoyment, even Christ Jesus was crucified, so why not a common man being crucified or undergo tribulations??

The greatest of man's wisdom is far below the weakest wisdom of God.....if billions of people can believe in God,I don't think your opinion is noticed as you are inconsequential in the affairs of the spirits .

Hope you know you are just in a body just to have a recognition on earth? That once you leave the Earth, your body decays and your spirit returns to who

This is what changes and reform our lives and character .. the word of God .. it is written Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Church does not change someone's character that's why you see some people displaying their useless and disgusting character in the church.

How many hours of the week do people even spend in church that you will think their character will change?

"How many hours of the week do people even spend in church that you will think their character will change?"

It is either you don't live in Nigeria or you must be one hell of a very lucky dude to not notice the hours people spend in churches these days. The living faith church opposite my house is more of a lodge than a church for some members with trice a day testing of vocal cords in deafening decibels between pastors and members alike. I now can unfortunately say all their prayer lines word for word.

Yes, a church where you need no one to tell you that God is the torchbearer of that church, they practice what they preach, there is love among them and they extend this love even to strangers.

God will have mercy, you didn't understand though. If I may ask you: who owns your life?
Bro, God is the creator of every human race, so, he can do anything with them.

And your character towards others nko?

I've always treated people with respect, so there was perhaps no reason for a character change there.

So can we say the church did not change your character?

Absolutely true...
I remember when I went for my service year. I followed a friend of mine who is a deeper life member. We lived in the lodge throughout our service year. And within that one year, I saw a different side of my life. I witnessed a change in my life, respect to people, prayer life, mode of dressing and lots of things.

I can boldly support the motion, church has a way of influencing one's character

That's the purpose of having the church here, for change of human lives.
Without character change, no crowing or glory.

Not only church..any place of worship... undecided
Unfortunately not all religious people and believers understand the content of religion and its purpose..

Religion was made by humans to set social boundaries by setting guidelines to follow in order to develop mentally and socially....
Seeking religion is for the weak who is afraid of change and needs a book and an imaginary creature to guide him through life...This develops insecurities since the human will tend to seek answers to solve his problems leading to an illusive life...


Religion/church eats you up... it goes against the cycle of nature...Nature and humans were present before religion and as a matter of fact were living fine... undecided
man is a social being created to believe in something which through his belief system makes it his god. My brother or alien whatever you are, you must have something you believe in that you serve, knowingly or unknowingly.

If you talk about it through education too, principles of life from someone or somewhere was drilled into you for years to form your ideals of life.

Church in the Holy Ghost does not eat you up, rather it sets you free from sin and buts you into the path of peace.

Church is a place where pretence is perfected, it has no power to change anyone. Most changes happens temporarily during some touching sermon and every dog goes back to their shit max of a week
wrong, then you've not been to a church.

No church can change one's character... Repentance is personal.

The road to heaven is lonely.
