Omooba77:
People make excuses for what others do, for example if their loved ones do something, they try to be lenient, but woe betide their enemies if they do same.
So Why do people have different scale for judging sin?

They would not be evil if there judgement is Right and True and Balanced!

doggedfighter:
None of those things claimed are happening today because they're all fairytales.
.

Of course it can not happen today because you people are completely dead. The dead eat dust.

It is the living who eat bread!

RETHINKING THE VIRGIN BIRTH STORY

This story suggests that a woman is just and incubator and not a co-creator. This means that she does not contribute anything gene to the birth of a child, she is just a container. In other words, Mary didn't contribute anything to the birth of Jesus.

Another foolishness!

So the mere fact that you used your phone to type this rubbish means your phone too co-created it?

Now you are looking too stupid.

I'm certain another stupid thread is in coming up for in your mind, you think you are the first to think up these stupid things, not knowing that you are being the freshest stupid person in nairaland.

Utumax:
Will Jesus be so heartless to forget all the good deeds, acts of faith, melodious songs, wonderful testimonies and all you rendered in His presence?

So because a kidnappers and bandits and those Muslims who murder people because of their Mohammed said so did some good deeds, they should not be condemned?

See how you are deceiving yourself instead of you to change!

Na wah for una o.

thesicilian:
It is clearly stated that God favours some people above others. The Bible is full of numerous examples

And they were honoured and favoured because they did well as well but as brought low and destroyed when they messed up.

Yet, are they the same as the rest of us and whatever has happened to them can and will happen to the rest.

Ugoh123:
If only Satan could...

Instead of you to repent, you are hoping on a finished case!

The Christian life is to continue in the same way that it commenced:

"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord by looking unto Him in simple childlike trust . so WALK YE IN HIM" Col. 2:6 .

Let's get our eyes on the lovely Saviour and move forward with our full confidence in Him!

Now, it depends on what you know "walking ye in Him" means! The same word was told King ASA and co. but did they do it?

lucianotawinji:
The Bible suggested that God had the ability to rain bread called "manna" from heaven upon the favored people to save them from starvation in the wilderness (Exod. 16). Do I doubt that, NO.
I can’t doubt what I don’t know.

But there appears to be no such divine rescue of starving people in our time; at least no heavenly bread falls upon them.

Because God is very very Far from Sinners and can not hear them neither will He hear them.

lucianotawinji:
In our generation starving people in Somalia and in the region of the world known as the sub-Sahara simply die, unless HUMAN relief operations are mounted.

In our time, we represent that God, so unless you stand up and consciously participate in creating a better world, nothing will happen.

No miracle is coming, you are that miracle.

It is no longer about what God can do or cannot do, BUT ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO.

And all of you have been doing what you can siiiiiiince! Yet, your starvation increases.

lucianotawinji:
If you create a Toyota like you said....if there is a defect in the creation who do you blame.

Change of Post! The issue is not about defects but lack of engine (soul) in man.

lucianotawinji:
Like the ability to even do wrong, chose and sin. Who put it on man, and for what?

Departure from Issue. You were talking about if "God is dead" and not "who put it in man".

So, try again and see if you can make a valid case without changing posts or traveling off point!

minks:
..But are men of God above criticism?...

If thou doest well, ye shall be praised. If thou doth not do well, ye shall receive a blot.

That is The Law!

malvisguy212:
...
The same thing could be said about faith. Faith is fixing my eyes upon the wonderful Saviour of sinners! When I turn my eyes away from Jesus and start gazing at my own faith or at my own quality of living, this is when I have problems. I need to look away from SELF and see the Lord.

Yep! But after the looking, when are you going to do all that He Says?

Shascky33:
Happy sunday nairalanders. Few weeks back i was asked by my younger brother, 17, about how true it is that we are the same before God, despite the say that goes "All fingers are not created equal" in an attempt to explain away why people are richer or poorer than each other. Honestly i had no convincing answer for him.

Yes and No.

Yes, because, we are all creations.

No, because some creations excel above others and some are lower themselves among others.

lucianotawinji:
This is so typical of religious people. As soon as they see something like this, they feel that their God is being attacked, and they are ready to defend that Gid with every vile in them.

If you are always hearing Lies and wicked false hood being flung at your innocent Father, would you, not be angry?

lucianotawinji:
But how about you think this time, and yourself. Is it possible that there is a problem with our prior assumptions of God?

Calm down and think.

Everything is not an attack, but everything can be for learning.

I have replied you as calmly as I should be under the circumstances, what say you.

lucianotawinji:
All religions believe that God created the world and also mankind. But if you are created by someone, you are only a puppet, you don't have your soul.

So because Mr. Toyoda created the Camry, it does not have an engine?

lucianotawinji:
God is the greatest dictator if you accept the fiction that he created the world and also created mankind.

That is what it means to be a Creator over their creations.

lucianotawinji:
Then there is no question of sin or virtue, no question of sinners and saints. Nothing is good and nothing is bad, because you are only a puppet. A puppet cannot be responsible for its actions.

Wrong!

He created you to choose to choose Blessings or Curses, Life or Death, Right or Wrong!

Unlike your Camry and iPhone which have no power of choice, therefore, no liability or praise or honour or virtue.

But, you o creation, was given the power to Choose.

And you made your choice/choices, therefore, you either get praise or condemnation, honour of disgrace.

And thank God you already have experienced these things, unlike your Camry and phone and mannequin.

lucianotawinji:
Is God dead?

It's you who is dead, God is not!

He is in His own Place.

But it is you who is in a pit and sand is about to be poured over you.

Why did you think Christ said even if our faith is as little as a mustard seed" he made it that little standard because he understands our limitations.

This is the beginning, for those who do not belong to God but have Understood that God and His Way, is The Only Way!

Just this one little understanding (faith), is powerful enough to lead you to the other things ye are supposed to know.

Which is where you are also supposed to learn that He is very very far from you because "John 9:31", Proverbs 28:9

Which is where paying great attention to What God Says and Does is another class (faith) among many other classes.

Let me give you one more tip, "Yes and Amen" song by Darlene Zsech.

"God has set His Promises in the centre of His Will"

And no one can get them if they do not learn all He teaches.

Ever8090:

As humans, we have limitations our faith at times suffers set back, we fall sometimes but Christ encourage us to rise again and not to remain there.

If you want God to come to you and dwell with you, as He did with the king's of Isreal, "DON'T EVER FALL"!.

And that is what the Bible teaches, "how to never fall"!

elated177:
Just getting people's views.

Ok

Ever8090:
Though sometimes it is hard to believe in him especially when it gets tougher, but you don't have to quit. Keep trusting and praying, he will surely come trough for you.

Mine situation is soo tough at the moment, when I say tough, I mean real tough. But I am still praying and believing that God will surely show up.

It is not easy, but never going to give up on him even to the grave!!

The bold is why He almost would never show up.

You have to get it Right That is The Only Way! That is what The Way means!

All those claiming atheists did this same thing and God Never Came not Answered.

Why don't you ask Why!

Wilgrea7:
The truth??... About what?

The Truth about any thing, every thing, your thing,

Eg you are and Tyrion Lannister are in the same area of height, then you are a dwarf! That is the Truth, that is supposed to be your Truth.

Or you are always getting 3/20 in tests and assignments and struggle to score 40marks in exams, then you failing in school, that is your Truth.

elated177:
El Elohe Yahshrael!

The righteous will live by their faithfulness. What does it mean?

El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu YAH!

It means the righteous will live, by continuing in righteousness unwaveringly.

I thought you knew this! I thought you have a thread which says something to this effect or maybe it is openeyes who has a thread!

Theesourcerer:
yeah News I've noticed focuses on the dark side of humanity .

Because the good doing harms no one so it is the evil side we should watch!

TheSourcerer:
Extremely ,especially when your worldview is that way. Perception of the world is the reflection of your being

The front page, crime section and every section says it all.

Crap! It is settled that you people are evil!

TheSourcerer:

Okay let's , break down those superstitions /Events /Situations , disappearing cocks In public , hooked sexual partners, African Bulletproof (odeshi) , things you believe is spiritual or they may be a God . These are all Fake and are Tricks , Nothing Spiritual has never happened to anybody in the history of this planet, NO ONE! Just Read and Read and Re-Read

You have already pre-judged it fake and tricks, yet you say you want to thrash it out. How? No reasonable person chooses a biased assessor.

“In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.”
― Czesław Miłosz

“But I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is... to tell the truth.”
― Howard Zinn, Marx in Soho: A Play on History

JOSHUAsalami:
So any man who accept Jesus as his lord and savior will be imparted with righteousness as a gift without having to work or pay for it ...

Stop spreading lies. Do you need to be imparted upon to avoid sleeping with someone's husband or wife? Or to avoid causing harm to someone? Or to give help?

"The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do."-Robert H. Schuller

And you have the power to do it, if you truly wanted to, BUT YOU DON'T!

Truth is the vehicle that will deliver you to that Beautiful and Sweet City called Life.

No other vehicle goes there nor can they go there.

That is what God hath Done!

Ay92:
Oh!
I didn't know you knew me and God so well to conclude that I'm not His child

No child of God can ever say

Ay92:
I know beyond reasonable doubt that God exists. I just wish He would show me love...

Or

Ay92:
You can't understand. Is making your son suffer unnecessarily one of the ways of showing love to him?
PS: I'm not an atheist, I can humbly and confidently say that I'm a very good Christian

Why?

Because, the goodness and mercies and kindness and favours of The Lord are as Certain as rain will fall in july.

Thus, God's children are in perpetual praise and thanksgiving and joy! Sorrow is a strange thing!

cornelboy:
Are you not a churchgoer

I prefer and aim to be as Christ was and is, than to be in the company of people who happily do that which Christ and God has said they must not do.

cornelboy:
I like the truth but do you?

I Love it!

O, how many many times as it saved me from troubles!

Even before saving from trouble is the fact that I saw it take me away from the paths of troubles and traps laid before me.

And in the times I entered them, O, it powerfully brought me out, cleaned me up and raised me up to honour.

And that is, since I was in primary school when I noticed that it was sweeter to receive The Truth than to be lied to.

And you know the funny thing, I got my moniker id before I joined nairaland from one of my enemies when he thought he was abusing me in calling me dtruthspeaker

Go check and see, which fuel runs your vehicle called you, is it Truth or Lies?

When you enter a bus to go to work or school, they told you their True price.

When you go for job interviews, you have your True name.

When you met a new friend you demanded True things.

Life and living runs on Truths, or rather good life and good living runs on Truth.

People always say "tell me The Truth and don't lie" but when the Truth is told you, gbis gbas gbos instead of thank you!

I know fire must hiss and even shout when water is poured on it but after that, do you not remember the times past when you said thank God so-so-so person told me The Truth.

No matter how pleasant a lie is, in the end it always brings Great Pain and Anguish, Regrets, Losses and all the the things that make you cry even to the point that death and dying looks sweet!

As my man C.S Lewis said.

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

He even makes the mistake of saying may, meaning he is not even sure.

But I say "If you look for truth, you will find comfort in the end;"

Remember, how many times has The Truth saved you from certain calamity you did not know, that you even almost lied therein?

Your spouse, is still your spouse today because you told The Truth!
