Please sir, i'm very sorry, i have no intention of starting any argument with you today. I hope you had a nice day at meeting and field service.

That's not an argument but setting matters straight with a liar who came to social media to tell millions of people that he can teach them all they need to know about a religion yet he knows nothing about the group!

My question to you is:
Why do you love lying just to malign God's people? smiley

So if I live upright and don't believe in God, den I will go to hell fire. But someone dat has killed thousands of pple and committed all sorts of evils will go to heaven bcuz he repented and ask for forgiveness from God?
Does that makes sense to u?
Religious belief is NOT credible at all
Don't see it that way.

Look at it like this:

Believing in Jesus Christ is as simple as it can get a requirement to make heaven. I say simple because it is actually simple, all that is required is to say I believe in you, please forgive me and help me. Any other thing is secondary (John 3:16) .

Living upright alone will never be enough, that is simply because no one can actually live upright no matter how hard they try, they will always miss it somewhere.

God actually gave men the opportunity to save themselves through their works but they kept missing their way despite their best effort so He came up with a far simpler requirement which is: JUST BELIEVE. Believe in me and try your best and I will help you, that's all God requires of us.

Comparing your actions with what others do and get, won't be of any help to you. Don't concern yourself with that, instead focus on what you can get.

So Why will a so called loving and merciful God punish humans for sins they inherited and know nothing about from Adam and eve and also punish humans infinitely for a finite offence?
And why will God cast d devil to earth to deceive, destroy and manipulate all kinds of evils to humans and still create an everlasting burning furnace for those humans?
Religious belief claims his mercy endureth forever. So why didn't his mercy endureth forever when Adam and eve disobeyed God in d garden of Eden?
If God is real and omniscient, den it means he has already known beforehand humans will burn in hell before even creating them
Religious belief will quote something and still twist it to suit their religious belief.
Religious belief is d worst thing to ever happen to mankind.
Religious belief will make u become blind to reality.

Why not?

You are murdering innocent bacteria for doing nothing other than feeding on faecal wasted in your toilet. You are being genocidal because you are of different class!

Why are you not a murderer and genocidal human being?


Hell is a place where those who reject God and His rule are isolated!

A question for you...

Did I create the bacteria knowing fully well that it will harm me?
Did I create the bacteria and gave it its instinct, then turn around to kill it??

Why created what you will torment for doing what you created it for??

■ You cannot stop people from acting a certain way with an imaginary threat.
According to Jesus Christ, Hellfire is rather a choice. The choice of reward is Heaven or Hellfire, and both are dependent on choices made by one in this life after choosing to become born-again — become citizens of the Kingdom of God. undecided

■ Hell is enough deterrent for sin, because after death,there is no repentance or mercy or forgiveness of sin in the grave. Hell was originally made for Satan and his demons , but he has vehemently vowed to drag as many souls as possible to share the flames of eternal damnation with him.
Lucifer is very wicked,so much that he would prefer nobody made Heaven,but he's a realist.
He knows some will make Heaven, but he's relentlessly fighting to get the greatest majority to Hell. He's throwing in a very wide array of weapons in bringing millions to eternal damnation.
Being the god of this world, Satan uses mind control to induce humans to focus on self and satisfying the desires of the flesh , programs evil desires and the urge to execute them. He has great influence over humans when they are far from God, and do things, believing in their self sufficiency, without bringing God into the picture. Hell is deterrent for sin, because eternity there is unimaginable.
All this tales by moonlight alone... I wonder why you folks border with God at all when the script you play to seems to be full of Satan, Devils, and lucifers. undecided

Jesus Christ! As Jesus Christ tried to explain to you, while Heaven is a place for the Sons of God(sheep), so also Hellfire is a place for the Sons of the Devil(goats) in the Kingdom of God. undecided

But there are three kinds of death
1. Physical Death
2. Spiritual Death
3. Second Death

Death is a Disconnection between entities.

Second Death is the eternal DISCONNECTION between God and the person in the prison of the rejected called the Lake of fire

Death is death. Any other talk na controversy

The afterlife is simply an attempt or ploy by religions to exert social control and conformity. There is neither heaven/ hell nor God/Allah/Onyamen.

Why do people will rather choose not to be sinful, is it because of the fear of hell fire or because of the fear of the immediate or later consequences?

I know that everyone make mistakes in life, but what kind of mistake do attract hellfire punishment?

Is hellfire enough deterrent for any sin all?
Has anyone had the misfortune to go to hellfire and was back to life, what was your experience?

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Is the devil and his angels tormenting people in hellfire enough deterrent for sin?


That is what makes people very foolish.

If you don't want God then why should He take you into His Land?

Secondly, you do not know what upright means else you would know that it is undoable by anyone who does not want God.

So if I live for 80yrs and do some bad once in a while, let's say adultery, subtle lie and the likes, then I'm entitled to eternal condemnation in hell? Like my sufferness even pass my life span?

Even human judge no go sentence you to life in prison if you steal 10M,
which can punishment is that? Even you will complain if a punishment is to harsh,
The concept of hell is a whole lie, distorted and meant to discredit the personality of God.

You are just counting the punishment for one of you small actions eg one adultery.

You measure it, what would the punishment be for 20 adulteries committed from your 20 years to 70 years?

And that is for adultery alone, you have not counted the other associated sins which must be there eg stealing, pride, greed etc

Sin merely means disobedience of God's Law, and so in order to adopt the idea of sin, you must also adopt God's Law/Contract. Outside of God's Law, the idea of sin is meaningless. Now, God's Law does not state that there are physical consequences of Sin, so stating that there are is of delusions. undecided
