God is love, creating such a lovely planet and placing little humans in it for his and their pleasure, until man yielded to the rebel who some think as friend, whereas in their tiny mind God is evil. When they try to fathom God with their understanding, they fall into grievous error, they can't know him with their minds, they've read about him yet this knowledge leads them to more confusion, these are knowledgeable but wisdom is far from their boarders. If only they would seek him with their whole heart, will he not be found by them? If your maker is not good enough, aren't you declaring yourselves worthless, no matter how good you may think you appear he who made you will always be far better. You are mocking your own destinies. 1 Like |

Banilla: You are evil but God is not evil but too Good! If He wasn't too Good you evil things should have long since been torn to pieces a thousand times per day, for forever. The Bible shows that God was very much happy with Job that He used him to mock Satan, which brought about a challenge, exactly how we are happy about our children's intelligence that we boast with them calling for anyone to challenge them. |

Banilla:From what happened to Job we know the real person behind the order for Abraham to kill his only son. Satan is accusing Abraham of being faithful simply because he now has what he wants (descendant) so just as Satan told God to test Job's loyalty Abraham was called out too by the same accuser who has been accusing all faithful people before God! Revelations 12 :10 If you're reading the Bible like a story book you can never figure out these facts unless you read carefully, study diligently, meditate thoroughly and pray fervently otherwise you'll continue to complicate the whole thing. Proverbs 2:1-6 So it's the same Satan who is behind all those accusations just as he did with Job God must not shield anyone after all we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory therefore we must prove we are different from Adam who was selfish and self-centered in his attempt to alienate himself from God. Banilla:Well your outlook differs from mine because as a father i must allow my son to undergo the surgery that will restore him to perfect health if that's what it will take to do so. Allowing my child to undergo such pain which will fortify him to be stronger than he is presently is an act of love towards him! Banilla: NO! never! He is all loving, merciful and patient! Psalms 103:12-14 |

MaxInDHouse:Yahweh knew that Adam would succumb to the tree of life, but instead went ahead to plant it, not just that, he planted it right in the middle of the Garden with the best succulent fruits Doesn't it make him a psychopath? 1 Like |

Have you ever seen the clay question the potter? I've not. Yet these kids rant because of some past pain caused by their ignorance or that of their ancestors which they blame on God as if he owes anything in creation any form responsibility he must fulfill. The earlier you know you were created to give him pleasure the quicker your brain starts working properly. They are locked and lost in their past, they thought God disappointed them not knowing they are the ones causing themselves pain. What will your hatred for God do to him? Boys and girls, you are so insignificant he can't even see you talk more know whether you hate him, he's too busy with those that love him, loving them, gisting with them, having pleasurable moments with them. Haters of God, give up. Hating him will never give you his attention. |

herlecks:Stop rambling abeg! The potter whom you pretend is involved here made it abundantly clear to you from the beginning that He is God of Israel. Even Jesus Christ explained to you from 1000s of years ago that He was sent by His Father only to the Lost sheep of Israel . Brazil is not His Israel, so why do you feel the need to meaninglessly loop His mention into the rubbish that crawls through your mind regarding those you love to hate? |

God tests us to make us grow in our faith both spiritually and physically,just as new born babes that have to be weaned,they grow through the process with weeping and pains,so we are to grow spiritually with Christ Jesus. Jesus passed through the process by looking unto God, we are to follow through by looking unto Christ Jesus our Author and Finisher of our Faith. |

Kobojunkie: I don't get you. Is Nigeria "His Israel"? Will Jesus save Nigerians? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by Kobojunkie: 7:57pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
budaatum:Did Jesus Christ tell you that He came to save Nigerians or Nigeria? |

Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by budaatum: 8:21pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: No. Jesus Christ did not tell me that He came to save Nigerians or Nigeria. That's why I do not worship Jesus Christ nor the imaginary Israelite God. I do love the book though, as it's a right head wringer, like chewing stick is to teeth. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: Why do you worship Jesus Christ and God? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by Kobojunkie: 8:48pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
budaatum:Because He calls me to do exactly that — trust and obey Him. |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by budaatum: 8:52pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: The God of Israel calls Nigerian you to worship and obey Him to what end? What do you gain from worshipping the God of the Israelites? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by Kobojunkie: 9:02pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
budaatum:1. Where did the God of Israel, or Jesus Christ, tell you or say any of that? 2. By worshipping Him, I gain everything He promises only to those who trust and obey HIm. |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by budaatum: 9:14pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: You have repeatedly claimed the promise is for Israelites, so how do you, a non-Israelite, gain anything He promises? Kobojunkie: Are you a "lost sheep of Israel"? Or do you just "desperately seek to attach yourself to the God of Israel and Jesus Christ"? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by Kobojunkie: 9:17pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
budaatum:1. Only those who are can enter into the Kingdom of God and are taught by God Himself. So, yes! 2. That would amount to expecting God to bend His Law .i.e change His mind or lie. And God does not do that, according to scripture. |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by budaatum: 9:23pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: Is it okay for me to presume therefore that the message of Jesus and God is not "only for the lost sheep of Israel" as you previously claimed, but also for those "who can enter into the Kingdom of God and are taught by God Himself"? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by Kobojunkie: 9:28pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
budaatum:1. If His message is meant only for the Lost sheep of Israel, doesn't that equally mean that only those who are of the Lost sheep of Israel can enter into the Kingdom of God which He, Jesus Christ is King of — God's special Nation of Priests which He makes of the children of Israel- Exodus 19 vs 6? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by budaatum: 9:32pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: Has "Jesus Christ is King of — God's special Nation of Priests" made Nigeria you a "children of Israel"? Why then the following? Kobojunkie: Can that God be or not be a God of Nigeria and Nigerians? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by Kobojunkie: 9:34pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
budaatum:1. Your question makes no sense. Is the name "Nigeria" found anywhere in scripture? He specifically said Israel is His only inheritance in the land of men — Deuteronomy 32 vs 1 - 9 — so why do you keep insisting on adding Nigeria to the list? |
Re: Does God Authorize Suffering To Test Our Faith In Him? by budaatum: 10:57pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: Israel is a nation of Israelites, who you claim God's promise is for. I ask about Nigeria to see how it applies to non-Israelite you, and would be grateful if you would explain. |
