1) If a person wakes up and starts insulting your father without provocation and, after you hear his accusations, you see that he still had no connection or business with your father, would you not break his head and bring pain upon him? Hence The Law of Blast-Infamy commonly known as "blasphemy".

I wouldn't if that father of mine is omnipotent and omnipresent but I see why you ignored that part of your god and dragged him down to the level of mere mortal like your dad.

The problem most people claiming atheists have started from misinformation.
God doesn't do things that's not in harmony with His plans but when most people claiming believers don't know God's plans they hide under the "Omni" stuffs.
A barber's work is to design your hair by cutting and dressing it, so you don't expect him to carry cutleries or hammer when attending to your hair.
But when you don't know the duty of a barber even seeing him with a riffle will not surprise you! wink

No you don't see, for if you did see, you would have also seen that even with His Great Potentnesss and all knowingness, HE CHOSE TO EXERCISE HIS RIGHT TO NOT SEE NOR KNOW exactly as the Wisdom of "take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant (or creations) curse thee:".

Hence, He has given us the good of freedom to speak freely (within Law) and without fear of potency because of law ful use of our freedoms.

Now after all this gifts and graces, one son of a bastard now spoke up stupidly against him, accusing Him of things He did not do, surely, you would break his head, exactly as you would do for your mortal dad!

You don't need to believe they would come to pass, for they will, for it is Written, it is set. And you have already confessed to receiving the first waves!

More are coming your way!
Can you give a time span for these curse

Something like "before the end of this month....."
You know leaving it open ended is as good as nothing,we want to see the demonstration of your power,so say something like "Hermes119 I decree that before the end of this month blah blah blah blah shall happen to you" anything that we can't meeasure or demonstrate is no curse,you are just typing that's all so put a time span to your curse or rest

"What God cannot do does not exist" is a mantra that every Nigerian is familiar with due to its overuse. It however is amazing how for such confidence in the miracle of God, Nigerians who consistently don't see evidence of this keeps peddling that narrative.

In Nigeria today, there are huge social, political, infrastructural, health, security and economic problems facing the country, the solution to which borders on miracles.

Nigerians are amongst the most religious and prayerful people in the planet yet things keeps getting worse. But testimonies are given every day on how God healed pimples, how houses was razed to the ground but the bible or Koran remain untouched.

You hear the so called miracle being nothing more than a plethora of s_illy inference of supernatural intervention in the most mundane, irrelevant and unnecessary event, it is difficult to watch; while Christians are rejoicing over a dream, m_uslims are seeing the Arabic pattern of the word 'A_llah' everywhere.

There truly seem to be nothing God can do that forces people who believe in God to desperately claw to infer miracles and even in the most subtle hint of the supernatural to keep their faith alive.

God is not in hell, and Nigeria is the hell of this present world. Obsession with religion is one sure sign that God is not with Nigeria because people are searching for God and God is not in [organised] religion but they think that he is there so they continue to increase there.
Psalm 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

God is not in hell. When Christ returns, Nigeria's hell will be over, and it will be the turn of the people that have made God's people to suffer so much in the midst of plenty (the Deuteronomy 28 curses)

SHALOM!

johnydon22:

"What God cannot do does not exist" is a mantra that every Nigerian is familiar with due to its overuse.

. PROVERBS 6:16-19.

16 These six things
doth The LORD Hate:
yea, seven are
an Abomination unto Him:

17. "A PROUD LOOK,

A LYING TONGUE,

AND HANDS THAT SHED
INNOCENT BLOOD,

18. AN HEART
THAT DEVISETH
WICKED IMAGINATIONS,

FEET THAT BE SWIFT
IN RUNNING TO MISCHIEF,

19. A FALSE WITNESS
THAT SPEAKETH LIES,

AND HE THAT
SOWETH DISCORD
AMONG BRETHREN."


.   PROVERBS 26:24-28.

24. He that hateth
dissembleth with his lips,
and layeth up deceit
within him;
25. When he speaketh fair,
believe him not:
for (there are)
seven Abominations
in his heart.
26. (Whose) hatred is
covered by Deceit,
his Wickedness
shall be shewed
before the (whole) Congregation.
27. Whoso diggeth a pit
shall fall therein:
and he that rolleth a stone,
it will return upon him.
28. A lying tongue hateth
(those that are) afflicted by it;
and a Flattering Mouth
worketh Ruin.

IGNORANT PEOPLE THINK THAT FLATTERING GOD WITH EXAGGERATIONS IS PLEASING TO HIM, BECAUSE IT IS TO THEM.

johnydon22:

It however is amazing how for such confidence in the miracle of God, Nigerians who consistently don't see evidence of this keeps peddling that narrative.

. LUKE 14:7-11.

7. And he put forth a Parable
to those which were bidden,
when he marked how
they chose out
the chief rooms;
saying unto them,

8. "When thou art
bidden of any man
to a wedding,
sit not down
in the highest room;
lest a more honourable man
than thou be bidden of him;
9. "And he that bade
thee and him
come and say to thee,

'GIVE THIS MAN PLACE;'

and thou begin with shame
to take the lowest room.
10. "But when thou art bidden,
go and sit down
in the lowest room;
that when he
that bade thee cometh,
he may say unto thee,

'FRIEND,
GO UP HIGHER:'


then shalt thou have worship
in the presence of them
that sit at meat with thee.
11. "For whosoever
exalteth himself
shall be abased;
and he that
humbleth himself
shall be exalted."

THEY WILLFULLY EXAGGERATE THEIR VALUE TO GOD- THUS DESTROYING IT COMPLETELY.

johnydon22:

In Nigeria today, there are huge social, political, infrastructural, health, security and economic problems facing the country, the solution to which borders on miracles.

. GENESIS 18:17-33.

17. And The LORD Said,

"Shall I hide from Abraham
that thing which I do;
18. "Seeing that Abraham
shall surely become
a great and mighty nation,
and all the nations of the Earth
shall be Blessed in him?
19. "For I know him,
that he will command his children
and his household after him,
and they shall keep
The Way of The LORD,
to do Justice and Judgment;
that The LORD may
bring upon Abraham
that which He hath
Spoken of him."

20. And The LORD Said,

"Because the Cry
of Sodom and Gomorrah is great,
and because their Sin
is very grievous;
21. "I will go down now,
and see whether
they have done altogether
according to the Cry of it,
which is come unto Me;
and if not, I will know.
22. And the men turned
their faces from thence,
and went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood yet
before The LORD.
23. And Abraham drew near,
and said,

"Wilt thou also destroy
the Righteous with the Wicked?
24. "Peradventure there be
fifty Righteous within the city:
wilt Thou also destroy
and not spare the place
for the fifty Righteous
that are therein?
25. "That be far from Thee
to do after this manner,
to slay the Righteous
with the Wicked:
and that the Righteous
should be as the Wicked,
that be far from thee:
Shall not the Judge
of all the Earth do right?"

26. And The LORD Said,

"If I find in Sodom fifty Righteous
within the city, then I will spare
all the place for their sakes."

27. And Abraham answered
and said,

"Behold now,
I have taken upon me
to speak unto The Lord,
which am but dust and ashes:
28. "Peradventure
there shall lack
five of the fifty Righteous:
wilt thou destroy all the city
for lack of five?"

And He Said,

"If I find there forty and five,
I will not destroy it."

29. And he spake unto Him
yet again,
and said,

"Peradventure there shall be
forty found there."

And He Said,

"I will not do it
for forty's sake."

30.And he said unto him,

"Oh let not The Lord be angry,
and I will speak:
Peradventure there shall
thirty be found there."

And He Said,

"I will not do it,
if I find thirty there."

31. And he said,

"Behold now,
I have taken upon me
to speak unto The Lord:
Peradventure there shall be
twenty found there."

And He Said,

"I will not destroy it
for twenty's sake."

32. And he said,

"Oh let not The Lord be angry,
and I will speak yet but this once:
Peradventure ten
shall be found there."

And He Said,

"I will not destroy it
for ten's sake."

33.And The LORD went His Way,
as soon as He had left
communing with Abraham:
and Abraham returned
unto his place.

GOD REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF TEN RIGHTEOUS MEN ALL WORKING TOGETHER IN UNISON, TO AVERT HIS JUDGMENT ON A SINFUL GROUP-RELATIONSHIP.

. DEUTERONOMY 28:1-20.

AND it shall come to pass,
if thou shalt hearken diligently
unto The Voice of The LORD thy God,
to observe and to do
all His Commandments
Which I Command thee this day,
that the LORD thy God
will set thee on high
above all nations of the Earth.
2. And all these Blessings
shall come on thee,
and overtake thee,
if thou shalt hearken unto
The Voice of The LORD thy God.

3. Blessed shalt thou be in the city,
and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body,
and the fruit of thy ground,
and the fruit of thy cattle,
the increase of thy kine,
and the flocks of thy sheep.
5. Blessed shall be thy basket
and thy store.
6. Blessed shalt thou be
when thou comest in,
and blessed shalt thou be
when thou goest out.
7. The LORD shall
cause thine Enemies
that rise up against thee
to be smitten before thy face:
they shall come out
against thee one way,
and flee before thee seven ways.
8. The LORD shall
Command the Blessing
upon thee in thy storehouses,
and in all that thou settest
thine hand unto;
and He shall Bless the
in the land which
The LORD thy God giveth thee.
9. The LORD shall establish thee
an Holy people unto Himself,
as he hath sworn unto thee,
if thou shalt keep
The Commandments of
The LORD thy God,
and walk in His Ways.
10. And all people of the Earth
shall see that thou art
called by The Name of the LORD;
and they shall be afraid of thee.
11. And The LORD shall make thee
plenteous in goods,
in the fruit of thy body,
and in the fruit of thy cattle,
and in the fruit of thy ground,
in the land which The LORD sware
unto thy fathers to give thee.
12. The LORD shall open unto thee
His Good Treasure,
the Heaven to give the rain
unto thy land in his season,
and to Bless all the Work of thine hand:
and thou shalt lend unto many nations,
and thou shalt not borrow.
13. And The LORD shall
make thee the head,
and not the tail;
and thou shalt be above only,
and thou shalt not be beneath;
if that thou hearken unto
The Commandments
of The LORD thy God,
Which I Command thee this day,
to observe and to do them:
14. And thou shalt not go aside
from any of the Words
Which I Command thee this Day,
to the right hand,
or to the left,
to go after other gods
to serve them.

15. But it shall come to pass,
if thou wilt not hearken unto
The Voice of The LORD thy God,
to observe to do
all His Commandments
and His Statutes
Which I Command thee this Day;
That all these Curses
shall come upon thee,
and overtake thee:

16. Cursed shalt thou be in the city,
and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17. Cursed shall be thy basket
and thy store.
18. Cursed shall be
the fruit of thy body,
and the fruit of thy land,
the increase of thy kine,
and the flocks of thy sheep.
19. Cursed shalt thou be
when thou comest in,
and cursed shalt thou be
when thou goest out.

20. The LORD shall
send upon thee
cursing, vexation, and rebuke,
in all that thou settest
thine hand unto
for to do,
until thou be destroyed,
and until thou perish quickly;
because of the wickedness
of thy doings,
whereby thou hast forsaken Me.

GOD DOES NOT EXIST TO PROTECT SINNERS- NOR THEIR OFFSPRING.

johnydon22:

Nigerians are amongst the most religious and prayerful people in the planet yet things keeps getting worse.

. MATTHEW 15:5-20.

5. "But ye say,

'WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY
TO HIS FATHER OR MOTHER,


"IT IS A GIFT,
BY WHATSOEVER
THOU MIGHTEST BE
PROFITED BY ME;"


6. 'AND HONOUR NOT
HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER,
HE SHALL BE FREE.'


Thus have ye made
The Commandment of God
of none effect
by your Tradition.
7. "Ye Hypocrites,
well did Esaias
Prophesy of you,
saying,

8. 'THIS PEOPLE
DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME
WITH THEIR MOUTH,
AND HONOURETH ME
WITH THEIR LIPS;
BUT THEIR HEART
IS FAR FROM ME.
9. 'BUT IN VAIN
THEY DO WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES
THE COMMANDMENTS
OF MEN.' "


10. And he called the multitude,
and Said unto them,

"Hear, and understand:
11. "Not that which goeth
into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh
out of the mouth,
this defileth a man."

12. Then came his Disciples,
and Said unto him,

"Knowest thou that
the Pharisees were offended,
after they heard this Saying?"

13. But he Answered and Said,

"Every plant,
which my Heavenly Father
hath not Planted,
shall be rooted up.
14. "Let them alone:
they be blind leaders
of the blind.
And if the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch."

15. Then answered Peter
and said unto him,

"Declare unto us this Parable."

16. And Jesus Said,

"Are ye also yet
without understanding?
17. "Do not ye yet understand,
that whatsoever entereth in
at the mouth
goeth into the belly,
and is cast out
into the draught?
18. "But those things
which proceed
out of the mouth
come forth from the heart;
and they defile the man.
19. "For out of the heart
proceed Evil Thoughts,
Murders, Adulteries,
Fornications, Thefts,
False Witness, Blasphemies:
20. These are the things
which defile a man:
but to eat with
unwashen hands
defileth not a man."

GOD DOES NOT ACCEPT INCORRECT WORSHIP.

johnydon22:

But testimonies are given every day on how God healed pimples, how houses was razed to the ground but the bible or Koran remain untouched.

. DEUTERONOMY 12:32-13:5.

32. What thing soever
I Command you,
observe to do it:
thou shalt not add thereto,
nor diminish from it.
IF there arise among you a Prophet,
or a Dreamer of Dreams,
and giveth thee a Sign or a Wonder,
2. And the Sign or
the Wonder come to pass,
whereof he spake unto thee,
saying,

"LET US GO AFTER OTHER GODS,
WHICH THOU HAST NOT KNOWN,
AND LET US SERVE THEM;"


3. Thou shalt not hearken unto
The Words of that Prophet,
or that Dreamer of Dreams:
for The LORD your God proveth you,
to know whether ye love
The LORD your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul.
4. Ye shall walk after
The LORD your God,
and fear Him,
and keep His Commandments,
and obey His Voice,
and ye shall serve Him,
and cleave unto Him.
5. And that prophet,
or that Dreamer of Dreams,
shall be put to death;
because he hath spoken
to turn you away
from The LORD your God,
Which brought you
out of the Land of Egypt,
and Redeemed you
out of the House of Bondage,
to thrust thee out of The Way
which The LORD thy God
Commanded thee to walk in.

SIGNS AND WONDERS DO NOT VALIDATE INCORRECT WORSHIP!

. MATTHEW 12:22-45.

22. Then was
brought unto him
one possessed
with a Devil,
blind, and dumb:
and he healed him,
insomuch that
the blind and dumb
both spake and saw.
23. And all the people
were amazed,
and said,

"Is not this
The Son of David?"

24. But when
the Pharisees heard it,
they said,

"This fellow doth not
cast out devils,
but by Beelzebub
the Prince of the Devils."

25. And Jesus knew their thoughts,
and Said unto them,

"Every kingdom
divided against itself
is brought to desolation;
and every city or house
divided against itself
shall not stand:
26. "And if Satan
cast out Satan,
he is divided
against himself;
how shall then
his Kingdom stand?
27. "And if I by Beelzebub
cast out Devils,
by whom do your children
cast them out?
therefore they shall be
your judges.
28. "But if I cast out Devils
by the Spirit of God,
then The Kingdom of God
is come unto you.
29. "Or else how can one
enter into
a Strong Man's House,
and spoil his Goods,
except he first
bind the Strong Man?
And then he will
spoil his House.
30. "He that is not with me
is against me;
and he that
gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad.
31. "Wherefore I Say
unto you,

'ALL MANNER
OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY
SHALL BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN:
BUT THE BLASPHEMY
AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST
SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN.'


32. "And whosoever
speaketh a word
against The Son of Man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh
against The Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this World,
neither in the World to come.
33. "Either make the tree good,
and his fruit good;
or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt:
for the tree is known
by his fruit.
34. "O Generation of Vipers,
how can ye,
being Evil,
speak Good Things?
For out of the abundance
of the heart
the mouth speaketh.
35. "A Good man
out of the Good Treasure
of the heart
bringeth forth Good Things:
and an Evil man
out of the Evil Treasure
bringeth forth Evil Things.
36. "But I Say unto you,

'THAT EVERY IDLE WORD
THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK,
THEY SHALL GIVE
ACCOUNT THEREOF
IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.' “


37. "For by thy Words
thou shalt be Justified,
and by thy Words thou shalt be Condemned."
38. Then certain of the scribes
and of the Pharisees answered,
saying,

"Master,
we would see
a Sign from thee."

39. But he Answered
and Said unto them,

"An Evil and
Adulterous Generation
seeketh after a Sign;
and there shall no Sign
be given to it,
but The Sign of
the Prophet Jonas:
40. "For as Jonas was
three days and three nights
in the whale's belly;
so shall the Son of Man
be three days
and three nights
in the heart of the Earth.

41. "The men of Nineveh
shall rise in Judgment with this Generation,
and shall Condemn It:
because they repented
at the Preaching of Jonas;
and, behold,
a Greater than Jonas is here.
42. "The Queen of the South
shall rise up in the Judgment
with this Generation,
and shall Condemn It:
for she came from
The Uttermost Parts of the Earth
to hear The Wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold,
a Greater than Solomon is here.
43. "When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man,
he walketh through dry places,
seeking rest,
and findeth none.
44. "Then he saith,

'I WILL RETURN INTO MY HOUSE
FROM WHENCE I CAME OUT;'


and when he is come,
he findeth it empty,
swept, and garnished.
45. "Then goeth he,
and taketh with himself
seven other spirits
more wicked than himself,
and they enter in and dwell there:
and the last state of that man
is worse than the first.
Even so shall it be also
unto this Wicked Generation."

johnydon22:

There truly seem to be nothing God can do that forces people who believe in God to desperately claw to infer miracles and even in the most subtle hint of the supernatural to keep their faith alive.

. MATTHEW 16:1-12.

THE Pharisees also
with the Sadducees
came, and tempting desired him
that he would shew them
a Sign from Heaven.
2. He Answered
and Said unto them,

"When it is evening,
ye say,

'IT WILL BE FAIR WEATHER:
FOR THE SKY IS RED.'


3. And in the morning,

'IT WILL BE
FOUL WEATHER TO DAY:
FOR THE SKY IS RED
AND LOWRING.'


O ye Hypocrites,
ye can discern
the Face of the Sky;
but can ye not discern
The Signs of the Times?
4. "A Wicked and
Adulterous Generation
seeketh after a Sign;
and there shall no Sign
be given unto it,
but The Sign
of the Prophet Jonas."

And he left them,
and departed.
5. And when his Disciples
were come to the other side,
they had forgotten to take bread.
6. Then Jesus Said unto them,

"Take heed and Beware
of the Leaven of the Pharisees
and of the Sadducees."

7. And they reasoned
among themselves,
saying,

"It is because
we have taken
no bread."

8. Which when Jesus perceived,
he said unto them,

"O ye of little Faith,
why reason ye among yourselves,
because ye have brought no bread?
9. "Do ye not yet understand,
neither remember
the five loaves of the five thousand,
and how many baskets ye took up?
10. "Neither the seven loaves
of the four thousand,
and how many baskets ye took up?
11. "How is it that
ye do not understand
that I spake it not to you
concerning bread,

'THAT YE SHOULD
BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN
OF THE PHARISEES
AND OF THE SADDUCEES?' "


12. Then understood they
how that he bade them not
Beware of the Leaven of Bread,
but of The Doctrine of the Pharisees
and of the Sadducees.

PRESUMING SIGNS IS PHARISEE/SADDUCEE BOGUS LOGIC.

johnydon22:

Can people not think and see how the potency of their beliefs seems to hinge on the ascription of the most trivial events that can naturally occur to be evidence of the divine? That is the lowest bar there is.

. JOHN 15:5-8.

5. "I am the Vine,
ye are the Branches:

'HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME
AND I IN HIM,
THE SAME BRINGETH FORTH
MUCH FRUIT:'


for without me ye can do Nothing.
6. "If a man abide not in me,
he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered;
and men gather them,
and cast them into the Fire,
and they are burned.
7. "If ye abide in me,
and my Words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
8. "Herein is my Father Glorified,

'THAT YE BEAR MUCH FRUIT.'

so shall ye be my Disciples."

IF GOD DOES NOT DO WHATEVER WE ASK, THEN HE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR US.

You hear the so called miracle being nothing more than a plethora of s_illy inference of supernatural intervention in the most mundane, irrelevant and unnecessary event, it is difficult to watch; while Christians are rejoicing over a dream, m_uslims are seeing the Arabic pattern of the word 'A_llah' everywhere.

There truly seem to be nothing God can do that forces people who believe in God to desperately claw to infer miracles and even in the most subtle hint of the supernatural to keep their faith alive.

Can people not think and see how the potency of their beliefs seems to hinge on the ascription of the most trivial events that can naturally occur to be evidence of the divine? That is the lowest bar there is.

A more appropriate quote would be "What God can do, does not exist."

johnydon22:

How do you find out his plan, let me guess, read the bible?
NO, You guess wrongly!
Once you hear people around you talking about God/Gods and righteousness, but they're contradicting themselves as in Jews, Greeks, Persians, Egyptians, Romans and so on. The next is to listen attentively to each of them and ask thought provoking questions to ascertain what each of them have to say about the God in question. Then sit down and use your brains to reason which of these is talking about something that's practical and benefitial. You mustn't be biased nor allow selfish cravings to blur your senses. If you do all these you will know the truth and the truth will set you free! John 8:32 compare to Proverbs 2:1-5

Most times atheists do argue trying to equate the Bible God with other Gods but of all the Gods they can think of only the Bible God commanded His worshipers to go out and REASON intelligently with their neighbours! Matthew 10:11-13; 28:19-20 compare to Malachi 3:16-18
So if you're always trying to reason with your neighbours on issues having to do with God or Gods, which of the Gods you know of are you obeying even though you don't want to acknowledge Him? smiley

"What God cannot do does not exist" is a mantra that every Nigerian is familiar with due to its overuse. It however is amazing how for such confidence in the miracle of God, Nigerians who consistently don't see evidence of this keeps peddling that narrative.

Hey Johnydon22, nice one.

Faith allows the suspension of every contrary evidence. Even if the person you are praying for a miracle for never gets it, god is still faithful. How is a non-performance equal to being faithful, the magic of faith makes it so.

MISHIGAS!

MY USUAL PROCEDURE IS TO SUPPORT ALL MY STATEMENTS WITH RELEVANT SCRIPTURES- BUT SINCE NO ONE APPRECIATES THAT, I HAVE DECIDED TO FORGO FEEDING YOU THE DOGS AND PIGS, THIS TIME AROUND.

Do your own homework!

Connected1:

What's all these curses for?

You couldn't convince him or argue responsibly, you just resorted to insulting and laying curses on him, No one will become a Christian with people like you as examples.

Is that how Jesus taught you to bring souls for his Most High?

Just so you know, many people don't believe in God, they only oblige so as to avoid victimization and also the fear of hell fire and it's numerous threats.

I don't want to go further.

IS THIS REALLY SO DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND! Dtruthspeaker WAS NEVER A TRUE CHRISTIAN.

He does not abide in the Lord Yeshua.


Femzaremz:
leave the f.ool, I wonder the type of kind, loving, benevolent merciful God will answer those curses! I don't think they can see the irony!

GOD IS NOT OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT, NOR OMNIBENEVOLENT, NOR HAS HE EVER CLAIMED TO BE.

Dtruthspeaker:


1) If a person wakes up and starts insulting your father without provocation and, after you hear his accusations, you see that he still had no connection or business with your father, would you not break his head and bring pain upon him? Hence The Law of Blast-Infamy commonly known as "blasphemy".

2) People do not love God nor His Son, that is a Fact as you rightly observed in saying

"Just so you know, many people don't believe in God, they only oblige so as to avoid victimization and also the fear of hell fire and it's numerous threats"

So, they have no rights whatsoever to call God in their matter, most especially as He has left them alone.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, NO, YOU DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY UP AND BREAK THE HEAD OF SOMEONE WHO COMES TO YOUR HOME, AND STARTS INSULTING YOUR FATHER, UNLESS YOUR FATHER IS THE WORST SORT OF FOOL, WHO HAS RAISED A FOOL.

3) Christians do not live to win Souls, it is church goers, atheists and Satanist who need it.

THIS IS FURTHER PROOF THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN A CHRISTIAN!

I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING MORE BRAINLESS THAN THIS- IF YOU WERE A CHRISTIAN, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THESE CHURCHES PAUL PREACHED TO ONLY EXISTED BECAUSE HE AND OTHERS HAD PREACHED TO THEM, CONVERTED THEM, AND EVEN BAPTIZED SOME OF THEM.

You did not know this.

ACCORDING TO OUR RELIGION, THE SUFFERING RIGHTEOUS COMMIT SINS THOSE PRAISING THEM ARE UNAWARE OF.

VandalSavage:
who told you atheism is from the whites , atheism is not even a religion,is the belief that the idea of a god does not exist, atheist have existed in all culture through out time even in Africa so it's not a white thing

And let me ask this, when the day of judgement comes and all humans are judged for their sins,what will happen to animals aren't they also living thing,I heard someone ask and now am directing it to you.
[/quote]

IF YOU HAD EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION, YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE SOULS OF NON-SENTIENT CREATURES ARE INSIGNIFICANT.

When anything dies, it is interrogated to deliver a copy of Its Life Memories. Only a sentient creature will know how to do this.

If this Memory Record is not delivered in a speedy fashion, Its Soul Body is cut into to access the Record. The Souls that this happens to do not have an AfterLife.

Scavenger Beings, consistent with Devils, feast on the discarded remains. This is how they have survived all this time.

All Sinners who die without TOTAL RECALL perish this way.

This is what THE LAW and THE GOSPEL were specifically created to prevent.


Dtruthspeaker:


grin And that was one of my many hidden points.



It is! You said so, don't you remember? grin

People are very evil and evil people must do evil things and get entangled in evil. And rather than stop doing evil, they do more eviler things, then they get into more eviler messes and the strangle hold of evil is even more dead full. And the circle continues.

There is no verse that justifies slavery!

THIS IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN A CHRISTIAN!


Slavery was a universal wickedness and the Israelites too believed in it. So, they would need to be weaned off it (exactly as we say you can not change man overnight)
[/quote]

THIS IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! AVRAM HAD HUNDREDS OF SLAVES WHO WORKED FOR HIM, FOUGHT FOR HIM, AND DIED FOR HIM.

He had a child by his wife's Slave Woman.

Do you really believe that when God chatted with His Friend, that this slipped His Righteous Mind, that He forgot to tell him that this was "wrong," according to YOU?

The root of your problems is that you think that you know better than God, and can dictate to HIM what is Right and what is Wrong.

THE MASTER/SLAVE RELATIONSHIP IS A FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF EXISTENCE, WITHOUT WHICH THE UNIVERSE CANNOT FUNCTION.

Its removal would be how God will one day end the Earth Universe and Seven Heavens.


Those verses were meant to slowly eradicate slavery. AND AS YOU SEE, IT IS ONLY THE BIBLE THAT COMMANDED A SLAVE TO BE MADE FREE, EVERY 7TH YEAR. SO IF A PERSON GOT A SLAVE ON THE LAST WEEK OF THE 6TH YEAR, HIS MONEY IS WASTED!
[/quote]

LIARS SAY THINGS ARE IN THE BIBLE, BUT AVOID SHOWING THE VERSES.

That is not the Purpose of The Slavery Law at all! God decreed His Commandment on how Slavery is to be conducted. A person who enters into Slavery in the 6th year is at a serious disadvantage.

The Slave needs the seven years of experience in how to support a household, and the earnings from those seven years to set up as a free citizen.


UNLIKE THE WICKEDNESS OF THE PRACTICE OF KEEPING SLAVES ETERNALLY!
[/quote]

THERE IS NOTHING WICKED IN KEEPING A LEGITIMATELY-ACQUIRED SLAVE PERPETUALLY- WHEN SAID SLAVES HAVE NOT EARNED, NOR DESERVED THEIR FREEDOM.



Israel was the only Nation Whom, The Mighy God, everyone does not know but wants to know, Spoke with and He even put down His earth Head Quarters with them.

No other nation can claim this
First Born Advantage as already proven.

And All First Borns belong to God. So, it's a no contest!

And the world would have been better if Isreal had become a nation of good doing people.

But you men are evil!

[/quote]

YOU HAVE MADE NO VALID POINT HERE: Y'SRAEL MURDERED ITS GREATEST PROPHETS- NO FIRST BORN ADVANTAGE GUIDED THEM.

God proved that He owns the Firstborns and The Power of Conception everywhere.

hopefulLandlord:


I wouldn't if that father of mine is omnipotent and omnipresent but I see why you ignored that part of your god and dragged him down to the level of mere mortal like your dad.

GOD IS NOT OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT, NOR OMNIBENEVOLENT, NOR HAS HE EVER CLAIMED TO BE.

The Oyinbos first exaggerated His Attributes, and pretended that the exaggerations represented God.

They then dismissed the Existence of God, based on the nonfunctionality of the IMAGINARY ATTRIBUTES they invented.

Hermes119:

Can you give a time span for these curse

Something like "before the end of this month....."
You know leaving it open ended is as good as nothing,we want to see the demonstration of your power,so say something like "Hermes119 I decree that before the end of this month blah blah blah blah shall happen to you" anything that we can't meeasure or demonstrate is no curse,you are just typing that's all so put a time span to your curse or rest

THE PRESENCE OF LESS THAN TEN RIGHTEOUS IN A POPULATION CENTRE DRAWS THE JUDGMENT OF GOD- BUT THOSE WHO ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS THROUGH THE GOSPEL ARE COMPULSORILY COMMANDED TO PRAY FOR SINNERS WHO RESIST THE GOSPEL, TO PREVENT GOD'S PUNISHMENT COMING ON THEM.

We are FORBIDDEN from holding grudges against fellow Believers. We are expected to be MERCIFUL, and FORGIVING, if WE want Mercy and Forgiveness ourselves.

LordReed:


Hey Johnydon22, nice one.

Faith allows the suspension of every contrary evidence. Even if the person you are praying for a miracle for never gets it, god is still faithful. How is a non-performance equal to being faithful, the magic of faith makes it so.

THAT IS NOT FAITH-IN-GOD! REAL FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF WHATEVER IS DESIRED, WHICH MANIFESTS WHEN ASKED-FOR.

Oyinbo Organized Christianity is usually fake, so they invented the concept of "DENIAL OF PHYSICAL REALITY" to account for why their Prayers usually do not work.

The stupidest thing in Fool-Gospel Christianity™ is to wait until you need instant results, to start believing in instant results.

If you don't respond instantly to other people's needs, why should God respond instantly to yours?

If someone offends you, why wait days, months, or even years, to forgive them?

Why not forgive them instantly?

If someone needs something you have, why wait days into months to give it to them- whether you owe them or not?

Yet, Christians who behave such ways against others expect God to treat them differently- to THEIR CALIBRATION.

12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would

do ye even so to them:
for this is The Law
and The Prophets.
13. "Enter ye in
at the strait Gate:
for wide is the Gate,

that leadeth to Destruction,
and many there be
which go in thereat:
14. "Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the Way,
which leadeth unto Life,
and few there be
that find It.
15. Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you
in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them
by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes
of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every Good Tree
bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a Corrupt Tree
bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree
cannot bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree
bring forth Good Fruit.
19. "Every Tree that
bringeth not forth Good Fruit
is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
20. "Wherefore by their Fruits
ye shall know them.
21. "Not every one
that saith unto me,
'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into
The Kingdom of Heaven;
but he that doeth
The Will of my Father
Which is in Heaven.
22. "Many will say to me
in That Day,

'LORD, LORD,
HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY
WONDERFUL WORKS?'


23. "And then will I
profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.'


24. "Therefore whosoever
heareth these Sayings of mine,
and doeth them,
I will liken him unto
a Wise man,
which built his house
upon a rock:
25. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell not:
for it was founded
upon a rock.

upon the sand:
27. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,

Those verses were meant to slowly eradicate slavery. AND AS YOU SEE, IT IS ONLY THE BIBLE THAT COMMANDED A SLAVE TO BE MADE FREE, EVERY 7TH YEAR. SO IF A PERSON GOT A SLAVE ON THE LAST WEEK OF THE 6TH YEAR, HIS MONEY IS WASTED!

. DEUTERONOMY 15:12-18.

12. And if thy Brother,
an Hebrew man,
or an Hebrew woman,
be sold unto thee,
and serve thee six years;
then in the seventh year
thou shalt let him
go free from thee.
13. And when thou sendest him
out free from thee,
thou shalt not let him
go away empty:
14. Thou shalt furnish him liberally
out of thy flock,
and out of thy floor,
and out of thy winepress:
of that wherewith
The LORD thy God
hath Blessed thee
thou shalt give unto him.
15. And thou shalt remember
that thou wast a bondman
in the land of Egypt,
and The LORD thy God
redeemed thee:
therefore I command thee
this thing to day.
16. And it shall be, if He say unto thee,

I WILL NOT
GO AWAY FROM THEE;


because He loveth thee
and thine house,
because He is well with thee;
17. Then thou shalt take an aul,
and thrust it through his ear
unto the door,
and He shall be thy servant for ever.
And also unto thy maidservant
thou shalt do likewise.
18. It shall not seem hard
unto thee,
when thou sendest him away
free from thee;
for He hath been worth
a double hired servant to thee,
in serving thee six years:
and the LORD thy God
shall Bless thee
in all that thou doest.

Dtruthspeaker:

UNLIKE THE WICKEDNESS OF THE PRACTICE OF KEEPING SLAVES ETERNALLY!

. DEUTERONOMY 23:15-16.

15. Thou shalt not deliver
unto his master
the servant which is
escaped from his master
unto thee:
16. He shall dwell with thee,
even among you, in that place
which he shall choose
in one of thy gates,
where it liketh him best:
thou shalt not oppress him.

Israel was the only Nation Whom, The Mighy God, everyone does not know but wants to know, Spoke with and He even put down His earth Head Quarters with them.

No other nation can claim this
First Born Advantage as already proven.

And All First Borns belong to God. So, it's a no contest!

And the world would have been better if Isreal had become a nation of good doing people.

But you men are evil!


. NUMBERS 15:29.

29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly
(both for) him
that is born
among the Children of Israel,
and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.

hopefulLandlord:


I wouldn't if that father of mine is omnipotent and omnipresent but I see why you ignored that part of your god and dragged him down to the level of mere mortal like your dad.

. LEVITICUS 24:15-16.

15. "And thou shalt speak
unto the Children of Israel,
saying,

'WHOSOEVER CURSETH
HIS GOD
SHALL BEAR HIS SIN.'


16. "And he that blasphemeth
The Name of The LORD,
he shall surely be
put to Death,
and all the Congregation
shall certainly stone him:
as well the Stranger
as he that is Born in the land,
when he blasphemeth
The Name of The LORD,
shall be put to Death."

Hermes119:

Can you give a time span for these curse

Something like "before the end of this month....."
You know leaving it open ended is as good as nothing,we want to see the demonstration of your power,so say something like "Hermes119 I decree that before the end of this month blah blah blah blah shall happen to you" anything that we can't meeasure or demonstrate is no curse,you are just typing that's all so put a time span to your curse or rest

. DEUTERONOMY 27:26.

26. Cursed be he that confirmeth not
all The Words of This Law
to do them.
And all the people shall say,

"AMEN."

LordReed:


Hey Johnydon22, nice one.

Faith allows the suspension of every contrary evidence. Even if the person you are praying for a miracle for never gets it, god is still faithful. How is a non-performance equal to being faithful, the magic of faith makes it so.

. MATTHEW 17:19-21.

19. Then came the Disciples
to Jesus apart,
and said,

"Why could not we
cast him out?"

20. And Jesus Said unto them,

"Because of your Unbelief:
for verily I Say unto you,

'IF YE HAVE FAITH
AS A GRAIN
OF MUSTARD SEED,
YE SHALL SAY
UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN,


"REMOVE HENCE
TO YONDER PLACE;"

AND IT SHALL REMOVE;
AND NOTHING
SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE
UNTO YOU.'


21 "Howbeit this kind
goeth not out
but by Prayer and Fasting."

Let me patronize you a moment!

It is still the same way I did not know who wrote Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Nigerian novel called "Pacesetters" or quotes like "Abstinence is favourable both to the head and pocket" etc.

I didn't care who wrote them but as long as what they said or teach brought me good things and made my living very sweet and pleasant, I definitely consumed them.

That's what happened with me and the Bible. It explained everything that I have seen going on in this world and why it is so.

And I do not want the stupid things that affect people to affect me.

And I tried it's recommendation and viola, I have a different sweeter results.

And my life and living is very much different and sweeter from all the other peoples in the world, exactly as the Bible Said.

I have no recollection of saying those exact words, but you did an ok job of summarizing some of my questioning, so I'll let it slide.

This is a more convincing argument than your others.
It lacks objectivity in that it draws from your own personal experiences, but I respect it as your experience and as your reasons for your conviction and faith.

Unfortunately people don't always share the same personal experiences, for all you've mentioned, I've found the same in the scientific methods, and stoic philosophy, and also Islam for a time.

We do! We all have the same need for good food, clothes, good shelter, good health, good work, good spouse, good guidance, security, a sweet living and a good death!

IMAliyu:

Every one has their own recommendations for good living, but a thorough look reveals that even the recommendees themselves did not have a good living.

I stand to be corrected, but no one without God ever had it all. The may excel in their respective fields but their lives and living was always miserable, just as yours is.

That is the major difference between God's counsel and the rest.

A person who listens to the blind always falls into pits like the blind do.

Basic human experiences and needs, yes.

Interpersonal and personal experiences, not always.
An older generation and my generation for example, may not have attended school in the same conditions, say for example, not the best example but anyway. My dad tells me stories of his school life and experiences, and I realize a number of it is alien to me. Such as the seniority (bullying) of those days, which I have no experience of, attending school at a time when certain villages hadn't even learned to wear clothes yet, not being cynical about the future of the country.

I find myself unable to experiences any enjoyment of popular Nigerian music, despite majority my generation completely loving it.

And for you and me, I highly doubt we share much in common in terms of personal experiences. If not we'd be the same, or think the same things.

The father of stoicism (Marcus Aurelius) placed his philosophy into practice as the emperor of Rome, under him Rome saw a rather stable government, at a time when stability was a problem, and he died a natural death.
They are never perfect, they were only people that made attempts to be a better version of themselves, to live virtuous lives regardless of any form of reward or punishment, and offer a solution in the presence of suffering.
"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." Marcus Aurelius
These teaching resonate and make sense because they were only human beings, they made no claims of authority or invocation of a supernatural to claim authority. They just stated and lived their Truths, and we are here generations later capable of examining their lives and statements to see how well both their words and life hold up.
Some of these people lived a rather Godly life, despite being irreligious, or practiced the religion of the time and place. (God being defined as the embodiment of all that's good here)

Even the characters of biblical prophets were not perfect and they never had it all, Moses committed murder, and after he freed his people, the moment he turned his back, they turned to worship a golden calf, it must have been a miserable job.
Even the character of Jesus, despite being the closest thing to a perfect person, was betrayed and suffered a miserable death.

Imperfection and tragedy seem to be the norm in life. I'm sorry if this may offend you, but I have reason to hold that religion, is partly a copping mechanism to this problem.

And nothing has paralleled science in being able to explain and utilize the working nature of physical reality.

That's all that really matters, which the Bible concentrates on

Another admission of Truth. The Bible definitely shows that we can have a perfect life.

And I want a perfect life!

And did I not say "that even the recommendees themselves did not have a good living."

Only God's Way Guarantees a Perfect Living in all goodness and goodnesses that people desire to have but can not accomplish it.

And that was my disagreement, the bible levies on the subjective personal experience.

If not, only one consistent interpretation of it would exist, and secondly all the world be Christian as this experience would be consistent and repeatable. Which hasn't been demonstrated.

And pardon me, but this is a source of my skepticism.

Any claim towards perfection that comes from anyone, triggers my BS detection, this comes from what I've learned while studying history and personal experiences.
My skepticism is born out of listening to religious and political fundamentalists. A Muslim fundamentalist's entire logic for why they do what they do, is
1. Quran is the perfect word and guide of Allah,
2. Islam as they interprete it is the perfect and complete way of life,
3. If we could get people to see this even through the use of force, have them convert, implement the perfect rules and solutions as found in the Quran and shari'a, we will achieve a perfect society and solve all problems.
Unfortunately reality and history says otherwise, one would need to have a twisted definition of perfect to ever agree with such people.

So I hope you understand when I ask.
Has there been an instance, an example of an individual, or a society perhaps which has attained this perfect life through following the bible?

Anyway, I don't desire perfection, the space and possibly for incremental improvements is enough by me, perfection is an unattainable state, only available to a being with infinite consciousness should one exist or no consciousness, a God, or lifeless things.

"What God cannot do does not exist" is a mantra that every Nigerian is familiar with due to its overuse. It however is amazing how for such confidence in the miracle of God, Nigerians who consistently don't see evidence of this keeps peddling that narrative.

In Nigeria today, there are huge social, political, infrastructural, health, security and economic problems facing the country, the solution to which borders on miracles.

Nigerians are amongst the most religious and prayerful people in the planet yet things keeps getting worse. But testimonies are given every day on how God healed pimples, how houses was razed to the ground but the bible or Koran remain untouched.

You hear the so called miracle being nothing more than a plethora of s_illy inference of supernatural intervention in the most mundane, irrelevant and unnecessary event, it is difficult to watch; while Christians are rejoicing over a dream, m_uslims are seeing the Arabic pattern of the word 'A_llah' everywhere.

There truly seem to be nothing God can do that forces people who believe in God to desperately claw to infer miracles and even in the most subtle hint of the supernatural to keep their faith alive.

Can people not think and see how the potency of their beliefs seems to hinge on the ascription of the most trivial events that can naturally occur to be evidence of the divine? That is the lowest bar there is.

A more appropriate quote would be "What God can do, does not exist."

Please increase the volume...!!
Been asking all these fanatics to point to one person they know down to his or her compound that have ever experience any of their so called miracle and till today known can point to any. I even asked them to asked all the friends they have in this life for any and still no show....!!
