Jeromejnr:Lolz. This is awfully familiar...and extremely funny. Familiar because it reminds me of Catholics I have talked with. I tell you, you haven't heard the worst. ![]() |
Swearing doesn't prove anything. When God created the world and the human race, even then and now He has had no need to swear or kill in order to prove His title of ownership of the world and the universe at large. His works speak for themselves. The acts of God are witnessed all over the world so that His power that established the earth and all mankind is undeniable and without rival. |
dalaman:The same person who screams that Christians are suffering hallucination as regards their testimonies of seeing Jesus, God the Father, angels and demons, that miracles and healings are staged even when broadcast live on television, that the tons of testimonies on the amazing miracles of God in written testimonies including that of those who died and came back to life with medical proofs and names of the hospitals where these miracles took place are fabricated, who calls Christians apologists, is the same person who asks where God's greatness is displayed and where He is being witnessed by people...as if he is willfully blind. As usual you will come up with your own deluded christian apologist thrash forgetting that there are about 1.8 billion muslims in the world that can conjure up such statements and also have religious experiences that are just like yours or even more than yours.[b] Lolz. Is this an example of "religious experiences that are just like yours or even more than yours?" I can show you a link of a hindu baby worshiped as God because it was born with four arms and four legs. Allah may display manifestations but being a lower god, however, he cannot attempt great manifestations of God that separates God from lesser gods. It is utterly impossible. This is the same way the magicians in Egypt tried to counterfeit the miracles God performed through the hand of Moses until it got to a stage the powerlessness of the Egyptian gods was obvious to all. Since this thread concerns a Muslim's conflict of religious beliefs, let me give you a video testimony with proof of healing of someone who SAW Jesus and was healed even when his disease was medically impossible to cure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TC-TLFYNCQ Even more interesting is the fact that his ancestor was the first Caliph of the entire Muslim world. Another interesting fact is where he said, "Allah is not a healer. Mohammed is not a healer so we don't turn to Allah to heal us." Wonderful! If this baby says the name of Allah who cannot heal, what does that tell you? Allah is a powerless god and, therefore, your statement of "religious experiences...even more than yours" is pure fallacy and ignorant. This particular testimony is just a drop in an ocean of testimonies as regards the greatness of Jesus Christ. Here is another testimony from the lips of a Muslim - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdMydpavOz4 He was a jihadist. Events led to his asking the real God to reveal Himself to him. In his dream, a figure in very bright light appeared to him and told him He was the one he was searching for. The figure told him to read the Bible. This is how he became a Christian, through a personal revelation of Christ. I have only revealed two examples of millions of witnesses to God's greatness through personal experiences. If you are so confident that the Muslim world has any such testimonies of personal revelations of Allah's greatness bring them here, bring their links and make them public, I DARE YOU. And if you can't forever hold your peace about things beyond you.[/b] |
[b]The religious diversity in the world ironically makes the true belief in God so outstanding that choosing it is only a matter of choice and not confusion stemming from a selection of numerous options of religions as this writer would have us believe. I have once said that if I observed and saw Allah's greatness in the manifestation of signs and wonders all over the world in ages past and present and that he is being witnessed by people alive and by those who died and resurrected, and that his attributes and power are not witnessed in any other supposed deity in the world or the universe at large then it goes without saying that Allah would be the true God. However, this is not the case. The only One who has demonstrated such greatness in the whole world as I have described and even goes beyond what I have described is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the true God who surpasses every other god and salvation is found only in the name of His Word or only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. There may be many tall and short buildings in a street but if one is asked to identify the tallest, it should not pose a problem to someone who is willing to take time to survey the area in order to identify the tallest building among others. The fact that you were born in a particular building does not make it the tallest in the street. The same can be said of the religions (buildings) in the world (street). A Muslim once had this same doubts after he had unsuccessfully attempted to kill Christians. Following an unexpected accident, the same Christians he had tried to kill took him to their home and cared for him till he got better. This made him question his belief so much so that he cried and asked whoever was the real God to talk to him. He began with asking Allah to reveal himself if he was real. He waited for a long time but there was no response. He then asked the God of the Christians to speak to him if He was real. That was when God spoke to him. The Muslim asked the voice who He is and the voice told him He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Muslim, as a result of this revelation, gave his life to Jesus Christ and became a born again Christian. To the writer, if you are really sincere with your questions, then you should embark on a search to seek the true God. The true God will not disappoint, but the false gods will disappoint you.[/b] |
keenn:You are confused, very CONFUSED. An expression of disjointed thinking. This is not even the topic of discussion. |
keenn:Indoctrination or absorption of family values and belief system is a passive form of education a child receives until the child is old enough to choose his or her path, good or bad, right or wrong. That is the way life works and you will agree with me if you are realistic about your opinions. Moreover, The Apostle Paul whom you cited was, very possibly as was the culture, taught the Jewish religion by his parents in his formative years which may have contributed to his zeal as a Pharisee in his adult age and which eventually led to his persecuting the church until he had an encounter with Christ. Is it not better for such child giving us detail account of what God his and how he should be worshiped, for crying out loud this child is coming from God as the holy books would put it, thus no need for introduction to a godThe child comes from God but it is hampered by physical limitations such as its undeveloped infant brain, zero level of understanding and awareness, inability to form articulate speech, etc. Seeing all these limitations, how would you expect the child to tell you who God is and how He should be worshiped when, probably four or five years later, the only thing it knows and can recall is what it has been exposed to on earth? In other words, the child begins with only a clean slate. How do you expect any writing from a clean slate? Is that realistic? |
Something to read. The end of a thing is far better than its beginning. ![]() |
Is it not the U.S? Little kids are constantly exposed to the doctrines of Satanism through cartoons, movies, children magazines, games etc. This is not unusual or out of the ordinary. They are only spreading the knowledge of Satanism to include the kids school curriculum. On the whole, they are being indoctrinated daily into Satanism through harmless 'fun' activities. God help America. |
What do atheists even understand by the word 'predestination' to make them erroneously suppose that all actions of mankind have been programmed so as to render any use of the reasoning faculties needless? No matter how many times you bring them out of that pit, they always willfully fall back into their error of thinking. This brings to mind an important question. Do they love being blind and ignorant? ![]() |
kevoh:Very wrong! Babies are neither theists nor atheists nor in between. Babies do not possess any consciousness of self because all they do is born out of reflex at that stage let alone possess any "knowledge" of facts or beliefs gained by learning or observation to which they apply the power of their minds to either accept or reject. They are not even on any neutral ground because if one is said to be on a neutral ground, it is believed such a person is fully or partially aware of the facts but refuses to take sides in which case he takes a neutral stand on the issue. Just to set the record straight! |
[b]That was my deliverance from that particular thorn in the flesh. I woke and was very happy that God had finally delivered me from the power of that besetting sin. Did I see changes immediately after the dream? No. Not even after a space of months. I even thought the dream was just a product of my imagination when the thorn kept piercing me as before after that dream. However, it happened when I least expected it. The power of that sin was broken and Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, destroyed its hold on me and, for the first time in many months I have served God without succumbing to that sinful thorn. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed It is not my style to reveal personal experiences to the public but I only tell this story to encourage you not to give up. Don't give up asking Christ to destroy that sin's hold in your life and He will answer your prayers. He will come at a time you least expect and destroy the power of that sin so that you will walk in victory as I do. Our victory over sin comes from Christ's victory over sin on the cross. Christians are not victims. We Christians are MORE THAN conquerors through Christ Jesus. When you became born again, victory became your birth right, your inheritance in Christ. Stay victorious. [/b] |
[b]When Jesus had first entered the dark room, His entrance had made me see I wasn't alone in the room. There were about 50 or more demons behind me whose job, I guess, was to keep me in darkness and one standing guard at the door, their leader, bigger in size than the rest and had more authority than other demons in the room, and whose job was probably to keep me from escaping or keep anyone from coming to my rescue. When Jesus came in, the door was flung open and that demon couldn't stop it. As we made for the exit, the demons behind me attempted to run after me in a sudden stampede to bring me back to the darkness. As they ran after me, immediately, Jesus turned, and with very fierce anger in His voice He roared two words, "Get back!" Just as He spoke those words, they stood absolutely still in great fear. None made any motion as they heard the command. Dreadful and fearful silence came upon all of them. Then Jesus took me out of that darkness. The leader of the demons in the room fearfully and respectfully held the door open for Jesus and I to walk through. When we did, the leader shut the door quietly behind us and locked it so as to keep other demons in the room from going after me in the future.[/b] |
One night, in my dream, I was sitting on the floor facing a door in a very very dark room. There was no ray of light anywhere. It was like an underground room. Suddenly, the door to the dark room flung open with force. A man in a white robe walked briskly towards me. He had this air of power, confidence and authority combined in His aspect. There was fierce anger in His face. He walked towards me, bent lovingly, locked His arms around mine, lifted me from my sitting position and, with His arms still locked around mine, He made for the exit. I knew who He was. It was Jesus, my Deliverer. |
[b]PRINCESSO2, I understand what you're going through. As a Christian, you need to understand that sin is powerless before you. You have conquered sin through the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. By 'conquering' I don't mean will power. Will power will get you nowhere, obviously. It can never defeat sin. Your will power is still needed but not to battle against sin on its own. Never ever ever ever give up the fight against sin. Keep asking the Holy Spirit to destroy that power of sin in your life and He will do it if you don't give up. This is only where your will-power becomes relevant in that it helps you in your determination to not give up asking till your prayer is answered. This is faith that moves mountains. Let me give you my experience. I too struggled with a particular thorn sent by the devil to trouble me and keep me from walking in the path of righteousness. God knew my sincerity in trying to obey His commandments and He also saw my weakness of flesh which kept me from obeying His Word. I prayed to God each time after I fell to destroy that power of sin in my life so that I could live a life pleasing to Him. I prayed but it seemed God wasn't listening or that He didn't exist. My prayers seemed like they were made by me and addressed to me, but I knew with my heart, not mind, that God heard my prayers. The answer did not come immediately - or even a long time after until....[/b] |
Ishilove:Lolzz. Add loser to that. |
Ishilove:Ishilove, is that why that guy hates you so much as to announce his obituary? Devil is a liar. |
ribbit:You talk as if God placed a rope around your neck and is dragging you towards the fulfillment of His plans for you even though you hate His plans for you, as if He stops you from carrying out your own plans for your life, as if His plans for anyone nullify their power of free will to choose or reject them, as if God will FORCE His plans on you, as if His plans for you are independent of your desire and active participation to see them come to fruition, as if knowing how to spell God equates with knowing who He is.... |
Jeromejnr:hahahaha. I tell you. Imagine, their reasoning of the ways of God is beyond absurd. You begin to wonder whether their criticism spring from the same Bible you know or if they have mistaken God for someone else.... In all, it is just unhearably laughable. |
MzNelly:Let me ask you, is it unrealistic for God to call one of His sons or daughters home through any means of death we know in order for them to come to His rest and spend eternity with Him? Isaiah 57:1-2. "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death." Of course, this is not the 'general' reason why (God's) people die but it should not be discounted as one of the reasons. Have you read the book, The Final Quest? The book is not the foundation of my belief but it is one of the numerous confirmations of my belief. |
Hahahaha. Jeromejnr, have you seen this thread? My belle wan burst wit laughter here o. Sometimes I wonder if there is an end in sight to this display of ignorance? ![]() So prayer is now useless because God's plans now translates to His bounden duty towards you whether you express a desire for it or not. It now justifies your PRIDE of expectation and INGRATITUDE since, in your opinion, it is God's plan, not yours, which He must fulfill and, as such, prayer is redundant. It means you can be lazy or irresponsible and still be rich and great - God's plans to the rescue. God is your robot that cleans your mess, tidies your bedroom, cooks for you and bathes you since it is His plan for you to be clean, to have a clean environment, and be well fed. Scholar8200 and God2man, nice contributions. |
[b]Let me add one or two thoughts to Scholar8200's answer. One thing is sure, sin hinders prayers. There are people that may have prayed many times for a solution but didn't get what they prayed for. This may be as a result of one or two sins they are still clinging to and are not ready to forsake. The presence of that sin(s) may hinder the effectiveness of their prayers. See, many people will just come and tell you that they prayed for a long time without any visible results, but what they won't tell you is their numerous adventures into the world of sin all that time they were praying to God for the answer to their requests. They think God will lower His standards because of them. 'Be ye holy for I am holy' can never be compromised for anybody. Secondly, when we hear reports of deaths especially when it concerns a believer, we never know what transpired between that person and God during their last moments on earth. It is possible God had impressed upon that person an instruction or command through nagging feelings or thoughts but the person disobeyed thinking it was their imagination and paid the price of ignoring that little voice of warning. In nairaland here, in this section, there was a thread opened for people to recount their testimonies of God's intervention in their lives. A particular young lady's testimony moved me. She narrated that there was a time she went to the school hall to read at night. While reading, she said the feeling to shift her position to the right kept disturbing her. Finally, she obeyed the 'feeling' and did just that. Almost immediately, the cement roof above her collapsed in a heap on the place she was originally. I read the testimony of a foreign pastor a many years ago. He said while preparing to board a flight, he continued to have this persistent bad feeling about his decision. When it wouldn't stop, he got down on his knees and asked God whether he should board the flight or not. The answer came that he shouldn't. Later, he received the news that the particular flight he planned to board had crashed. In the end, when a true believer dies through accident, or wickedness of man, or through sickness, it doesn't mean God did not grant their requests to live long. It may simply mean God used that accident to bring them home, not wanting them to stay any longer in the earth. Their work on earth may have been done so He sends for them using any means to bring about their death in order for them to spend the rest of eternity with Him. [/b] |
menesheh:No, you help yourself and use your reason. Those who wrote the textbooks on logic never claimed to offer any conclusive or full explanation behind existence, the world, and the universe. Their essays are but hypotheses at best. This blind 'faith' in man's limited knowledge (textbooks) is the reason why God has hidden knowledge from the (proud) wise and revealed them to (the humble) babies. Until you provide a conclusive explanation for your conviction in your scientific belief of the origin of existence, your claim to a reasonable man is just like a schizophrenic's claim to sanity. Again, no insult intended and never will. |
Scholar8200:This answer to the Op's question is very thought worthy. |
menesheh:[b]In your words, how can any reasonable person believe that the human race evolved from apes? How can any reasonable person look at and believe that the sun, the stars and shooting stars, the moon, the mountains, the oceans, trees, the animals, hills and valleys, the volcanoes, their exact positions, and the presence of elements that sustain life on earth, which are all not present in other planets as well as the entire universe with all its planets all sprang from energy that created itself? How can a right thinking human believe that his existence is meaningless, yet I wonder how an object meant to live a meaningless life came to discover his purpose of empty existence? Isn't he supposed to live and die like any mindless object, i.e. a tree, without knowing his meaningless purpose of existence? How can a person with a mind, life, senses, and with the ability to experience emotions, with creative abilities other animate things lack equate himself with the existence led by squirrels, dogs, elephants, plants, buffaloes, cattle, penguins, etc? This too is meaningless. How can a reasonable man say there is no other world besides the physical world despite glaring evidence to the contrary? Many scientists without any religious affiliations who have conducted years of experiments on the possibility of the afterlife all came with the same conclusion that consciousness continues even after the brain dies. Yet, the so-called reasonable man insists it is not possible. He has conducted no experiment into the matter but refuses to believe those who have. Finally, how can a reasonable man doubt the testimonies of a multitude of people from different races, countries, era, ages, language, and geographical locations, all saying the same thing about the reality of heaven, hell, angels and demons? How can a reasonable man say they are all suffering hallucinations when, scientifically, it is impossible given the limitations of time, space, distance, and age, of the possibility of ALL suffering the same specie of hallucination? [/b] |
menesheh:How can a blind man know what a monster looks like? No insult intended, Menesheh. |
We Christians easily shout to the hearing of the world that with God all things are possible but our daily lives never reflect our conviction of the power and greatness of God. So unfortunate. There is no excuse for lies. Tell her the truth. She will be committing a grave sin by getting married to someone already married. I am also of the opinion that the polygamous family are practicing Muslims. Everything about this lady's decision screams red from the beginning even if the family in question are not Muslims. Her life, her spiritual life, her future, her happiness, her destiny, her children's future and happiness are all at stake in that polygamous setting just simply because she won't wait for God's answer to her prayers for a suitable husband. Tell her what the Word of God says concerning her decision, the consequences of making that decision and leave her to make her choice. Don't tell her not to get married to the man but give her your thoughts concerning it and let her make her decision. In the end, it is her choice and there's nothing you can do about it. |
DoubleDeeX:Very true bro. I had already determined that my last reply to him will not be followed by another one. Just as expected, his reply reeks of utter senselessness, exposes his poor level of comprehension, and his incurable ignorance. It just reminds me of an ignorant blind man who refuses to heed the repeated warnings of people being wise in his own eyes (that cannot see). Consequently, he either gets crushed by a moving vehicle or falls into a ditch with none to help him out. There is a way that seemeth right to a (blind) man but the end thereof is destruction. What is the logic behind God catching the so-called wise in their supposed wisdom like a trap? Simple, He knows that a blind man knows nothing and sees nothing so that he easily walks into a trap being deceived by the very wisdom he relied on so that his end is destruction. It is no mystery, just a simple logic. Lol. Is he scoffing? Yeah he can scoff all he wants. Will he scoff forever? Where are the scoffers before him? And those before that? God has set a time to shut his proud mouth. He can make noise today because God gave him the power to do so. God has permitted it for a season. When God shuts his mouth can he open it? Lastly, he even stretches his ignorant thinking to the area of paradise. In his deluded thinking, a perfect paradise/world is synonymous with a perfect man. You see why they will be ever ignorant? He has forgotten that Adam and Eve were created in a perfect paradise but let disobedience rob them of that. He has forgotten that angels were thrown from heaven on two occasions for the sin of disobedience though heaven is the quintessence of perfection. I don't think he has forgotten anything. He is plain ignorant of that fact since he doesn't know the Word of God let alone the essence of paradise. Perfect paradise or world does not make a man perfect. This is why Jesus Christ had to die for man to make him perfect before God. Only a perfect man is suitable for a perfect world. Talk about comprehension disability. Let the ignorant man persist in his ignorance. Peace bro. |
malvisguy212:You're welcome bro. |
The spirit behind the doctrines of the Catholic church is a strong one of delusion that cannot easily be exposed by reasoning with the adherents of the Catholic religion. It was probably permitted by God to continue deceiving them since they have refused to read and obey the Word of God. May God have mercy on them and make them see the lies they have been led to believe for many generations now, and to seek the truth that is found in only one person, Jesus Christ. |
hahn:In the same way many good Christians, past and present, blessed by God have died in various ways being victims of the wickedness of the world. If God did not want His people to taste physical death, He wouldn't have sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross. Weren't there good people on earth when god decided to flood the earth and kill everybody? What about all the innocentIn Judgment Day, it will be more tolerable for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the people in the days of Noah than for you. If their wickedness attracted so great a punishment even when there were only very few preachers of righteousness then, even when there were no manifestations of signs and wonders of God, and even when God had not come down to preach to them in the person of Jesus Christ, how much more punishment will you suffer for your stubbornness in rejecting the message of salvation seeing that there are now more than millions of preachers all over the world, and signs and miracles of God you claim cannot be verified? You haven't seen punishment. You think God is a joker. Wait and see if you are right. Lol. Keep on deceiving yourself. Even theWhat has colour of skin got to do with serving God? Are we worshiping Israelites? Is that your understanding of Christianity? And since Christ came the world has grown worse and is obviously not yet saved. I don't need to read a story book to know that the world is messed up.Lol. First, what is your understanding of the concept of salvation through faith in Christ? You think it is to keep the world from getting worse? Lol. Your religion only teaches you to ignore what goes on on earth because you are going to HEAVEN.Now, you are making baseless conclusion when you say Christians ignore things which go on in earth because they are heaven bound. In fact, how do Christians IGNORE the things in earth? Never heard that before. To quote a friend, if there was a perfect go who could create paradise for his creation, he would have done it already.In other words, God should create a "perfect paradise" so that you will believe He exists, so that you will continue your disobedience and wickedness and sin in a "perfect paradise". |
