Religion / Re: 4 Reasons I'm Considering Becoming An Atheist by Distinguishy(m): 3:52am On Dec 31, 2019 |
[quote author=englishmart post=85307086]1.Jesus is the only way to God, John 14:6 This invariably means those who don't believe in Jesus have no business in heaven. Christians worldwide have an estimated population of 2.4billion people Islam records an estimate of 1.9 billion adherents, Hindu has an estimated 1.1bn adherents. The remaining world's population have their own beliefs which includes atheism. If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so. 2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess." Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe) Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions. 3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead? I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue. I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence. I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family. [b]4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most. The 1933 Holocaust and mass murder of Jews to the tone of 6m was a clear indication that God turns His eyes against His people Repulsive comments are highly welcome Bro I will give you a few points to chew on 1) God does not see death the way we do. Death of a his children is just a home coming. Yes it hurt us humans but A better place is prepared 2) God hears all prayers but he allows something's to happen to teach you some lessons on value for things, human effort, how to use your discretion. If God answers all prayers, doctors will be useless, Armed Forces would be useless, in short you will be dead because someone somewhere hates you and prays you dead. Your own biolgical father does not always grant your wish or demands for a reason known to him does that make you doubt his paternity to you? No. If your mother refuses to give you stuff at times would you claim she may not be your mother? Jessica were killed so was all his disciples did heaven fall? Jesus himself was killed God could interfere and show himself all strong and mighty but he was calm. Bro tread carefully in your quest for answers, don't mislead the growing hearts in God. Just seek God personally and he will reveal Himself if you sincerely want him Shalom Distinguishy 1 Like |
