Self-deception and hypocrisy

Where?

1. Adam died at the age of 930yrs? he wasn’t birthed how come about the Age.
From the day he was made till he died
2. Did God knows that The serpent was going to deceive Eve ? If No he isn’t Omniscient All knowing.
Yes

3. Before creating Humans God knows the sin Adam And Eve was going to commit. Why purnished them when he knows that Adam and Eve will end up committing sin
God is not only omniscient; He is also just. His Justice demands reward or punishment appropriate to deeds

4. God lay curses on Eve upon child bearing. Why do Animals still feel pain upon giving birth. Did God Also lay curses on them.

It's not mention or stated

5. Why did God send the serpent to Earth, when he knows he will deceive Adam and Eve .

He doesn't need your permission to do the things he does

5. All knowing God regretted creating humans and he decided to flood the whole earth, Nd he didn’t killed the devil � , Yet he send his son to come Nd die for our sin, when he would have just killed the devil.

He is sovereign! His wisdom is unsearchable. He is long suffering. He works with His set time including time to address the level and all who rebel against Him.

6. Genetics Nd DNA have proven the story of Adam and Eve to be false. No nothing like original sin Nd all

Let God be true and all men liars. They will soon disprove their own research!

7. Where did the other race come from? Since they were white Nd Hebrew.

We all came from one man!

8. Why did God create hell when he knows how humans will End up?

It is meant for the devil and his rebellious followers who chose to turn their back on God; For those who refuse God's offer of salvation; who trampled upon the blood shed for the remission of sin; and who insult the spirit of grace! It's meant for all workers of iniquity!

Chinnybaby190:
I have to create this accounts to post this.
I want to leave my husband and our child behind. I want a divorce. I'm tired of the whole thing.

When the money was there, he only told me his plan after he, his elder brothers, mother have discussd and taken decision.
After he made wrong decision, investment and lost everything, all his family members have left. Even his mother has given up on us. They see him now as my husband and my responsibility.

He took another little step and set up a betnija business which his brother was managing. Finnally, it's down.

Since his bet9ja business crumbled, he has been totally dependent on me. I basically foot everything in the house down to data and recharge card on his phone. The annoying part is that he no longer make effort to look for any job again.
This man is intelligent, hard working but just of a sudden, I don't understand what is happening to him.
His fighting spirit has died. He takes anything now. No pride, no ego.

I don't ever believe that one day my husband will be comfortably eating, watching movies and feel no shame in other people's house.

For more than 2 weeks now, we packed all our belongings to my Aunt's house because our rent expired.
We practically stays here now, the whole thing is driving me crazy. I'm managing a small job with little salary, but he has nothing to contribute and he seems not borderd.

How can we stay here, eating their food and he's not feeling remores anymore.
I've been giving him attitude since 3days now. I'm so exhausted in this marriage.

Please help. What should I do?

More experienced people in the house, please advise me as your daughter, sister, friend.

Be a friend in need!

Thinking they are wise they become fools says the scripture. Life isn't just about food on the table. Knowledge that does not reveal the creator is seriously deficient.

If Nigerians were assessed on the basis of comments made here, one would wrongly assume that Nigerians are very honest. However, in reality, stealing and cheating are so ubiquitous and perversive in the country that it's now abnormal to do the right thing. What a contradiction?

I think there's really nothing to pity. Insecurity in Nigeria seems largely artificial. No armed group is beyond neutralization by the military if there is government sincerity to deal with them. It's only propaganda that glories them with being dreadful.

They pushed him out of the party shelter without a broom in the midst of a torrential rain. PDP gave him the umbrella, brought him into their shelter and gave him dry clothes to wear!

I think so too! The humility of a man whose palm kernel has been cracked for him by the gods.

The line
"...we don’t look to career politicians for salvation. In America, we don’t turn to government to restore our souls. We put our faith in almighty God.”
sounds like Obaseki's "We don't have a God father; we have God the Father. "

US learning from Edo! Wonderful!
Anyway, faith in the Almighty God is wisdom!

Lord, may your name never be blasphemed among the gentiles on account of my conduct!

Until the west starts imposing visa bans on the real 'drumbeaters' and ceasing their assets, it will remain wishful thinking to expect the killings not to keep increasing!

Money isn't really everything after all! It's insulting to Edolites for him to have assumed a position of telling them whom to vote. I mean that takes the biscuit! Politicians must believe Nigerians are irredeemably dumb and docile, lacking in ability to judge, compare and choose!

Of course considering the carrot and stick approach of the US and UK (visa ban and freezing of assets), election riggers can be counted upon to behave like good children. I think brandishing the same stick before the sponsors of terror in the country might just be the panacea we need.

In as much as there's room for improvement, this election can largely be described as one of the best that has graced Nigeria's electoral sphere! The spontaneous celebration that succeeded the result announcement attest to it's perfect reflection of the people's choice!

Faithfulness, the most essential ingredient of happy marriage, is fast going into extinction. God save this generation!

It seems the position of godfatherism thrives on electoral profligacy. Once exposed to the sanitizing scrutiny of free, fair and credible election, it loses all it's pretentious and overrated influence and power.

A well-deserved congratulation on an election that will remain indelible in the minds of Nigerians! The battle was tough, the opponents 'mighty'. But the chick that God has appointed to crow shall do so without fail in even in the midst of hawks and eagles! The result has invested in the emotion of Edolites such joy and genuine happiness that Nigerians have been denied for a long time. Congratulations!

Acts.7.37 - "This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.'

This is my beloved son, hear him.

Refusal to believe in Christ is calling God a liar. It is insulting the Spirit of Grace.

Heb.12.25 - See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

I have seen people healed. Humans generally are fearful; It's not just Christians. However, a Christian is called to be fearless. He can reach this noble level by having a correct revelation of God and being perfect in love, as well as obeying the commandment not to fear!

This is a case of enslavement, not just by pornography, but by sin and Satan. There is a savior that can deliver the captive of the mighty! He's willing and ready to set you free! Cry to Jesus in sincerity, you shall find in Him a savior more than equal to the task.

Make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

3 Contradictions:
Then Jesus said to the woman, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (Matthew 15:24)

Jesus sent out the twelve disciples with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.'' Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 10:5–6)

No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of Jehovah, not even in the tenth generation (Deuteronomy 23:3).

The fact that he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel does preclude his sending disciples to preach to all the Nations, and neither is it a contradiction (like saying I'm sent.../I'm not sent...).
Truly, no foreigners will enter the assembly of Jehovah! Yet, anyone who becomes a true Jew by being born again, shan't just enter but also dwell in the holy assembly forever!

musicwriter:
I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me (Exodus 20:5).

3 Contradictions.
Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin (Deuteronomy 24:16).

Everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge (Jeremiah 31:30).

The one who sins is the one who will die (Ezekiel 18:4).

The life of the flesh is in the blood, and remission of sin requires shedding of such sinful blood. If the same blood runs in a family, sin in the father's blood means sin in the blood of the offspring. Yet God in His mercy, restricts the punishment to the offender. That's wonderful!

musicwriter:
This guy can't even defend his bible but have to copy from yet another book before he could reply. He copied his post from the book ''Difficulties In The Bible'' by yet another irrational author.

Please reply to me what you have to say about the contradictions and not what someone else said.

Isn't the holy spirit not supposed to talk to you directly?

The important thing is that there's explanation for for the seeming contradiction. The source is inconsequential!

musicwriter:
The women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples (Matthew 28: 8 )

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others (Luke 24:9)

Contradiction:
Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. (Mark 16: 8 )

When I saw a ghost some years back, I was so terrified that I didn't tell anybody, yet now I have just told everybody!

musicwriter:
There is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

Contradiction:
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright (Job 1:1)

By birth and the law, none is righteous; yet righteousness is imputed on any who lives by faith!

musicwriter:
No one has ever seen God (1 John 4:12).

Contradiction:
The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend (Exodus 33:11).

We must remember first of all that two statements which in terms flatly contradict
one another may both be absolutely true, for the reason that the terms are not used
in the same sense in the two statements.
For example, if any man should ask me if I ever saw the back of my head, I might
answer, “No, I never saw the back of my head,” and this statement would be
strictly true. Or I might answer, “Yes, I have seen the back of my head,” and this
statement would also be true, though it appears to flatly contradict the other. The
back of my head I never have seen, but more than once when looking into a
mirror with another mirror back of me I have seen the back of my head. What I
should answer depends entirely upon what the man means. If he means one thing
I answer no, and that is true. If he means another thing I answer yes, and that is
equally true.
But someone may object, “In the latter case you did not really see the back of
your head. What you saw was a reflection of the back of your head in the mirror.”
But to this I would reply, “Neither do you see the back of anyone’s head when
you are looking at it. What you see is the reflection of that person’s head upon the
retina of your eye.”
But everyone knows what you mean when you use language in this common
sense, everyday way. They know that when you say you saw the back of another
man’s head you mean you saw a reflection of it upon the retina of your eye, and
they know when you say you saw the back of your own head in the glass that you Father.” The time is coming when all the pure in heart shall behold God
permanently manifested in bodily form ( Matthew 5:8 ). The form in which Jesus
existed in His preexistent state in the glory was the form of God ( Philippians 2:6
, see RV marg.). The Greek word which is translated “form” in this passage
means “the form by which a person or thing strikes the vision—the external appearance” (Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament ),so
we are clearly taught that the external appearance of Jesus in His preexistent form
was the external appearance of God, that is, that the invisible God, who is a spirit
in His essential essence, manifests Himself in an external, visible form.

She doesn't have to believe for both to be true: Jesus is God and heaven exists!

It is shocking that a Christian can call another a fool, a blind bat etc. with so much ease. If you do that, I beg you not to ignore such an important symptom of unclean heart. It signals a carnal heart that needs the washing and renewing by the word of God and of course deep repentance. He who calls his brother a fool is in danger of hell. Where is the Christian requirement to honour all men? If you can conveniently insult another without any feeling of guilt, my brother, you probably have to seriously consider if you are really in the faith!
