Ken4Christ:


I will use an example of how God deals with us to answer your first question.

Right now, I am saved but if I later backslide, I will go to hell.

What took me to hell? My decision did and not God.

Did God know I was going to hell?

Yes but with a clause. He knows I will go to hell if I reject Christ and he knows I will make heaven if I accept Christ and remain faithful.

So, our destiny is dependent more on our decisions than God's foreknowledge.

So, what God does is that he gives each of us an opportunity to be saved. If you accept it, you will be saved, if you reject it, you will be damned.

In the same sense, when he created Lucifer, he knew Lucifer will continue to enjoy his good status and glory if he remains faithful and he also knew he will be judged if he disobeyed.

So, Lucifer was given the opportunity to choose his own destiny. It will be wrong for God to say I won't create Lucifer because I know he will rebel. He gives everyone an opportunity to choose his destiny.

It's just like saying that I will not send my child to school because I know he will fail. You have to give your child a benefit of doubt that he will pass.

Ken4Christ:


The serpent certainly spoke in language that Eve understood.

On why we have other creeping animals apart from snake that creeps on their belly, I don't know.

I certainly don't know everything. Whether they were accomplices or God created them that way, I don't know.

But what I believe is that the devil spoke through the serpent.

We have at least another occasion that a donkey spoke.

So, it's possible for animals to speak but it's unusual.

I hope it wouldn’t be too late by the time you find out he's your Lord

Your third question is like asking why a teacher would set a question when he knows that some students will fail the exam.

Every human is a student before God and we must be tested to prove our loyalty to God.

And the result of the test could go either way. If Adam had not eaten of the forbidden tree, we will not be asking this question.

Jesus who came as the last Adam was also tested. But he passed the test. What if Jesus had failed the test? We all would have been doomed. So, God did not exempt Jesus from the test as the test is a basic requirement to know our loyalty to him.

God expected Adam to pass the test. But Adam failed. And he knew what he would do if he failed.

Creating the world without that tree is like establishing an institution without examination. So, it's God's established principle and ways of testing our loyalty.

Maynman:
I don’t think teachers are omniscience.
What is the need for a test when you already know the exact score of each individual before they were born?

jaephoenix:

Exactly

Ken4Christ:


Someone has to die to redeem mankind because it's the blood that makes atonement for sins.

There is no short cut.

This is why the blood of animals were used for atonement before Jesus came. But the blood of animals could not take away the sins of mankind because it's not the same value as the man that nerds redemption. It only covered their sins for a one year period. And the sacrifice had to be repeated yearly.

But the blood of Jesus washed away our sins for eternity. He met the demand of justice.

If I am owing you a certain amount of money, it's either I pay you that money or it's equivalent. You won't accept anything less.

The life of the flesh is in the blood. And the penalty for sin is dead. So for the guilty to go free, someone has to die in his place. And this is what Jesus did for us. He died in our place. In the mind of divine justice, we are all legally free. But you will only enjoy that freedom if you believe and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

If you reject Jesus, you have only agree to pay it yourself and that will automatically end you in the pit of hell. I don't think you will want to go to hell. The punishment there is unbearable.

Why not give your life to Christ and deliver your soul from that horrible place.

Ken4Christ:


Thank God you made a distinction between the Bible God and Allah of Mohammed. So, you know that Allah is not God. The question now is that who is superior to who and who are you supposed to listen to?

The very words of Mohammed betrayed him. He said in Quran 46:9 that he is not sure of what will become of him nor of those who follow him. He conclude that he is just a messenger.

Compare his statement with that of Jesus. Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth and the life and that no one comes to the Father except through him - John 14:6.

Jesus also said that; 'God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life - John 3:16.

There are many other statement Jesus made that affirmed he was not an ordinary man. On certain occasions, he claimed pre existence. At a few other times, he claimed equality with God.

Most importantly, he lived a life that was flawless.

Mohammed did not live a flawless life.

Jesus willingly died on the cross.

Muhammad did not die for anyone. Rather, he killed those who rejected him and forced them to embrace Islam.

Jesus died and rose again. Mohammed is still in his tomb.

Jesus appeared to many after his resurrection.

No one knows where Mohammed went to.

Jesus promised he is coming back to take us to heaven.

Mohammed never made any such promises.

If you have two options to choose from. With the credentials of Jesus and Mohammed laid side by side, no wise person will choose Mohammed over Jesus.

Please, be sincere to yourself, Mohammad is just a self acclaimed Prophet. He does not have the approval of any other known Prophet.

Jesus was approved by John the Baptist.

Prophets of old spoke about Jesus years before his birth. They even gave specific prophecies which came to pass.

God himself spoke from heaven twice and confirmed Jesus to be his Son.

Please, give your life to Jesus. He is alive to guarantee you destiny.

Ken4Christ:


Fallen man is a victim of the disobedience of the first Adam. This is why the last Adam Jesus came to free us. The choice is yours either to remain under condemnation or receive the liberty that is in Christ alone.

Maynman:


Yahweh worshipper what are you saying?
Are you saying your loving god needs blood as a requirement for atonement?
What’s an omnipotent god doing with blood of animals and man?

The blood of animals were atone to yahweh and devil?
And now that jesus blood was used, who was it atoned to, is it yahweh or devil?
Are you saying yahweh sent his own child so that he can kill his own child to use his blood to atone for your sins before yahweh can forgive you?
What kind of blood fetish does your creator for?

OLAADEGBU:


You don't want to leave it too late.

Maynman:


My guy, you see why Jehovah witnesses claim yahweh is not omnipotent and omniscience, they’ve seen the loopholes.

Maynman:
I don’t think teachers are omniscience.
What is the need for a test when you already know the exact score of each individual before they were born?

KnownUnknown:


There’s a monster under your bed!! Run now, you don’t want to leave it too late

OLAADEGBU:


God's Omniscience!

jaephoenix:

Those ones came the loopholes, dodged and entered a worse loophole

jaephoenix:

Yahweh sent his own son to die to save the world from himself(yahweh). Its simple

Maynman:

So your teacher analogy is flawed, yahweh worshipper.

OLAADEGBU:


So said the atheist who thought he was smart.

jaephoenix:


Ignorance. Are apes and monkeys are different animals. I guess its a waste of time teaching a thick headed theist like you basic biology

OLAADEGBU:


Man is not a beast....

Maynman:


Who created man's nature?

jaephoenix:


You also forgot you'll burn in the hells of Allah, Thor, Brahma etc. That's a lot of hells bro

jaephoenix:

Obviously Jesus and Adam are different humans. Stop muddying the water.

jaephoenix:

Do you wanna discuss the fvck ups in the bible? It'll take all day. The bible is the most contradictory and barefaced lie filled book on earth. Believe me, you dont want to know the pitfalls there

FRANCISTOWN:


Who/What is God? Let's begin with this

jaephoenix:

Redeem mankind from the wrath of an omnibenevolent god? Why can't he forgive?

jaephoenix:

How come animals have shut since the time of the bible, yahweh doesn't speak to people again and doesn't throw down manna?
What happened?

Maynman:


A Sango worshipper is a theist like you.
Yahweh doesn’t mind as long as you worship a deity?

And the dead human body will go to heaven?
Yahweh worshipper, Just look at this picture and see the absurdity lol, old white man with beards bwahahahahah

OLAADEGBU:


I worship Jesus. Jesus is Yahweh!
