seggzz:Stealing to eat .is still Sin and wrong. God destoryed those people becos they were unrightous and God is a holy God. I guess U wanted God to be weak and so lovely that he can not carry out Justice. You forgot that true love will always correct and reprove. in Genesis 15:16 God told Abraham that his decendants will be slaves in a foreign land becos the land which he wanted to give them was inhabitted by the Amorites who were very sinful. but God told Abraham that him(God) will allow the Childeren of Isreal to spend 430 yrs in exile , waiting for the Amorites to change or repent. which they did not. so God warns and forgives those who repents. see the bible verses New International Version In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." New Living Translation After four generations your descendants will return here to this land, for the sins of the Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction." English Standard Version And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” New American Standard Bible "Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete." King James Bible But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. |
seggzz:i have done that already and given you the unbiased fact / link. |
seggzz:"It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. ( Deuteronomy 9:5) Okay, how "wicked" could those people have been? How about killing their own sons and daughters by burning them in sacrifices to their gods: "You shall not behave thus toward the LORD your God, for every abominable act which the LORD hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. ( Deuteronomy 12:31) The wickedness of these people is confirmed in other verses of the Bible.3 So we see that these people are not quite as innocent as the atheists would like you to believe. The fact that these people practiced child sacrifice is also confirmed in the secular writings of the Greeks.4 Then again, maybe those atheists believe that killing your children is not all bad. After all, killing viable pre- born babies is legal in this country (it's called a choice, a.k.a. abortion). For these reasons (and others5), God ordered the destruction of the peoples whom the Israelites dispossessed. Did God kill any innocent people along with the evil ones? When God was about to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham asked God if He would destroy the cities if there were 50 righteous people in them.6 God said no. Then Abraham asked the same question if there were 45 righteous people. Every time he dropped the number and got the same answer. The fact is that God would not have destroyed those cities if there were any righteous people in them. The few righteous who were in those cities He warned ahead of time to get out.7 So, God does not destroy the righteous along with the evil. God's judgment of people groups found in the Old Testament actually pales in comparison to the judgment He will render at the end of time. According to the New Testament Book of Revelation, God will judge and kill billions of people who reject Him when Jesus returns, including 200 million killed in a single battle.8 Such large armies have never existed in the history of mankind until the last 100 years, suggesting the this judgment could come at any time. |

analice107:my bro .they don't even need to love God for them to believe he exists. is like this i never wanted Buhari as president.but no matter how i deny it. it will not change the fact that he is our president. |
seggzz:Lol gush U are unbelieavble. i told you before your problem is your IQ not the bible. Jesus never broke the sabbath day. he only used that act to illustrate that resting on the sabbath should not mean that one will not do good to others. Unable to keep the Law, however, the Pharisees had instituted a complex and confusing system of Sabbath laws of their own that was oppressive and legalistic. They had set up strict laws regarding how to observe the Sabbath, which included 39 categories of forbidden activities. In essence, these religious leaders had made themselves lords of the Sabbath, thus making themselves lords over the people. thus people were enslaved to sabbath keeping. How did he insult his mother? ee, Luke 8:19-21,Mark 3:31-35, and Matthew 12:48-50) The account from St Matthew presents the encounter in these words: "While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him. Someone told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you." But he said in reply to the one who told him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother." Did Jesus Insult His Mother? it is obviously No So when you make or buy a car . and you demand for it that means to covert?. JESUS is the maker of all things including the donkey. he does not need to covert what he has already. You are trying hard to discredit God . but you keep failing. JESUS was baptized as a symbol for the atonement of our sins. not becos he had sin. 2corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. |

( Exodus 21:20) "If a man strikes the eye of his male or female slave, and destroys it, he shall let him go free on account of his eye. "And if he knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let him go free on account of his tooth." ( Exodus 21:26-27) "He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death." ( Exodus 21:12) 2. "Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves. ( Exodus 23:12) 3. Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he will curse you and you will be found guilty. ( Proverbs 30:10) 4. 'Now if a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave acquired for another man, but who has in no way been redeemed nor given her freedom, there shall be punishment; they shall not, however, be put to death, because she was not free. ( Leviticus 19:20) 5. "You shall not hand over to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you. ( Deuteronomy 23:15) 6. 'If a countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave's service. 'He shall be with you as a hired man, as if he were a sojourner; he shall serve with you until the year of jubilee. 'He shall then go out from you, he and his sons with him, and shall go back to his family, that he may return to the property of his forefathers. 'For they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt; they are not to be sold in a slave sale. 'You shall not rule over him with severity, but are to revere your God. ( Leviticus 25:39-43) "If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years; but on the seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment." ( Exodus 21:2) 7. He who pampers his slave from childhood Will in the end find him to be a son. ( Proverbs 29:21) 8. From the secular source, Pliny the Younger Letters 10.96-97 to Emperor Trajan: "They asserted, however, that the sum and substance of their fault or error had been that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god... Accordingly, I judged it all the more necessary to find out what the truth was by torturing two female slaves who were called deaconesses. But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.... Meanwhile, in the case of those who were denounced to me as Christians, I have observed the following procedure: I interrogated these as to whether they were Christians; those who confessed I interrogated a second and a third time, threatening them with punishment; those who persisted I ordered executed. For I had no doubt that, whatever the nature of their creed, stubbornness and inflexible obstinacy surely deserve to be punished." 9. Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that. For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave. You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men. (1 Corinthians 7:21-23) 10. Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. ( Romans 13:1- ![]() 11. Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ; not by way of eyeservice, as men- pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free. ( Ephesians 6:5- ![]() Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality. ( Colossians 3:22-25) Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable. For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God. For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, ( 1 Peter 2:18-21) 12. All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be spoken against. Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles. ( 1 Timothy 6:1-2) 13. And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him. ( Ephesians 6:9) 14. Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven. ( Colossians 4:1) 15. Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker, ( Philemon 1:1) 16. and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: ( Philemon 1:2) Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ( Philemon 1:3) I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, ( Philemon 1:4) because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; ( Philemon 1:5) and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ's sake. ( Philemon 1:6) For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother. ( Philemon 1:7) 17. Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper, ( Philemon 1: ![]() yet for love's sake I rat |
seggzz:The idea that God or Christianity encourages or approves of slavery is shown to be false. In fact, anybody who was caught selling another person into slavery was to be executed. However, since voluntary slavery was widely practiced during biblical times, the Bible proscribes laws to protect the lives and health of slaves. Paul, the author of many of the New Testament writings, virtually ordered the Christian Philemon to release his Christian slave from his service to "do what is proper". In addition, numerous verses from the New Testament show that God values slaves as much as any free person and is not partial to anyone's standing before other people. |
seggzz:First, we must recognize that the Bible does not say God supports slavery. In fact, the slavery described in the Old Testament was quite different from the kind of slavery we think of today - in which people are captured and sold as slaves. According to Old Testament law, anyone caught selling another person into slavery was to be executed: "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death." ( Exodus 21:16) So, obviously, slavery during Old Testament times was not what we commonly recognize as slavery, such as that practiced in the 17th century Americas, when Africans were captured and forcibly brought to work on plantations. Unlike our modern government welfare programs, there was no safety-net for ancient Middle Easterners who could not provide a living for themselves. In ancient Israel, people who could not provide for themselves or their families sold them into slavery so they would not die of starvation or exposure. In this way, a person would receive food and housing in exchange for labor. So, although there are rules about slavery in the Bible, those rules exist to protect the slave. Injuring or killing slaves was punishable - up to death of the offending party.1 Hebrews were commanded not to make their slave work on the Sabbath,2 slander a slave,3 have sex with another man's slave,4 or return an escaped slave.5 A Hebrew was not to enslave his fellow countryman, even if he owed him money, but was to have him work as a hired worker, and he was to be released in 7 years or in the year of jubilee (which occurred every 50 years), whichever came first.6 In fact, the slave owner was encouraged to "pamper his slave".7 What the New Testament says about slavery Since many of the early Christians were slaves to Romans,8 they were encouraged to become free if possible, but not worry about it if not possible.9 The Roman empire practiced involuntary slavery, so rules were established for Christians who were subject to this slavery or held slaves prior to becoming Christians. The rules established for slaves were similar to those established for other Christians with regard to being subject to governing authorities.10 Slaves were told to be obedient to their master and serve them sincerely, as if serving the Lord Himself.11 Paul instructed slaves to serve with honor, so that Christianity would not be looked down upon.12 As with slaves, instructions were given to their masters as to how they were to treat their slaves. For example, they were not to be threatened,13 but treated with justice and fairness.14 The text goes on to explain that this was to be done because God is the Master of all people, and does not show partiality on the basis of social status or position.13, 14 There is an interesting letter in the New Testament (Philemon15-21) that gives some insight into the problems encountered in the early Christian church regarding the issue of slavery. Paul, the author of the letter, is writing from a Roman prison awaiting trial.15 He is writing to Philemon, who runs a local Christian church out of his house16 (since Christianity was highly persecuted at this point in time). Philemon, we find out, is the master of the slave Onesimus, who has escaped but has been converted to Christianity by Paul.18 In the letter, Paul indicates that he is sending Onesimus back to Philemon.19 However, Paul says that he has confidence that Philemon will "do what is proper"17 although Paul wants him to do it by his "own free will".20 Even so, Paul indicates that Onesimus would be a great aid in helping him spread the gospel.19 Paul ends the letter by saying that he has "confidence in your obedience" and indicates that he knows Philemon "will do even more than what I say."21 Although Paul did not directly order Philemon to release Onesimus from slavery, it would have been difficult to come away with any other conclusion from his letter. |

Would God punish the wicked yes. becos God is merciful to forgive but not weak to pass justice.

Hell fire is not for erternity. pls click here and read it. or copy and search. remember psalms 136 says the mercy of God endures forever. psalm 103:9 King James Bible He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. so if God will not hold his anger forever which means hell cannot be forever . and if his mercy is forever than Hell should not be for eternity . just search that site i gave u and read www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/book/e/30/t/hellfire-a-twisted-truth-untangled |
