DAPO777: Why do we have to use faith to believe whatever story we find in the Bible, what is stopping God from showing Himself as God in this modern age just as he did on several occasions in the Bible? what do you think will make a man leave his extended family and embark on a journey without a map? what do you think would make a city man become a nomad? It's FAITH...Abraham believed God and saw his power. ...If you won't BELIEVE GOD today, you won't have believed him even in the days of old! |

DAPO777: 1Kings 18 in this chapter we can see how God instructed Elijah to prove that He is the true God by presenting a test to show CLEARLY that He is the true God. The god Baal failed But God didn't fail this test,So He was able to show that He exist and He is the most powerful. This is just one of the numerous miracles and proves that God showed people in the Bible to prove that He is the true God and He exist. yet King Ahab and his wife Jezebel didn't BELIEVE...infact after that show of power via ELIJAH, Jezebel threatened Elijah's life in defiance to God! |

DAPO777: Exodus 7 in this chapter you can also see how God instruct Moses to prove to Pharaoh that He exist and He is the true God,through NUMEROUS miracles/magic So that the people of Egypt would be CONVINCED that the God of Moses exist and is the true God. yet the israelites didn't BELIEVE GOD...and their UNBELIEF made then SEEK PROOFS TEN TIMES by TEMPTING GOD... |

Rather he's not like a magician doing the miracles you expect of him...The Israelites wanted a progressive day-to-day show of power but they were blind to the miracles that were with them all the time... they wandered 40years yet neither their shoes nor their clothes were worn out! |

Dapo777: My question now is this: Why do Christians believe they no longer need prove of God's existence and power through physically visible miracles for all to see? So that we can all be CONVINCED that the God of Moses is the true God? you want PROOF? That's FUNNY!!! How do you define PROOF!? Do you define it as the scientific method defines it? If you define it as the scientific method does then don't expect proofs from the God of the Christians! ...but what other proofs do you seek? Go to the Synagogue Church of All Nations and see UNTHINKABLE, UNIMAGINABLE and OBSERVABLE MIRACULOUS evidences of power in the name of Jesus Christ every sunday...go to MFM and see SIGN and WONDERS happening regularly...go to SPIRIT EMBASSY in Zimbabwe and see SPIRITUAL ACTION first hand...go to CHRIST MERCYLAND in Delta and see MEDICALLY DEFYING FEATS...go to CHAMPIONS ROYAL ASSEMBLY in Kubwa, Abuja and see THE ACTS OF A PROPHET...attend the RCCG Holy Ghost congress and see the evidences you seek...

apatheist: Biologists Confirm God Evolved From Chimpanzee Deity
Researchers say today’s Lord Almighty shares many traits in common with the chimp deity, including color vision and omniscience.
BERKELEY, CA—Challenging long-held views on the origins of divinity, biologists at the University of California, Berkeley, presented findings Thursday that confirm God, the Almighty Creator of the Universe, evolved from an ancient chimpanzee deity. The recently discovered sacred ancestor, a divine chimp species scientists have named Pan sanctorum, reportedly gave rise over millions of years to the Lord Our God, Maker of Heaven and Earth. “Although perhaps not obvious at first glance, there are actually overwhelming similarities between the Supreme Being of today and this early primate deity who preceded Him,” said Dr. Richard Kamen, a leading biologist who also heads Berkeley’s paleotheology department. “The holy chimp moved around on all fours, but its descendants eventually began walking upright to expend less energy while foraging across the infinite reaches of the universe. This of course led to the bipedalism of modern-day God.” “In fact, you can see a distinct likeness to God in the chimpanzee deity’s skeletal structures, not to mention its prototypical expressions of vengeance and wrath,” Kamen continued. “The great-ape god was, however, considerably smaller in stature, having not yet developed the capacity to occupy all space and time simultaneously.” According to experts, divine life began as a single-celled all-powerful organism roughly 3.6 billion years ago, eventually evolving into a multicelled, sponge-like deity that bobbed and floated across the chaos of the early universe. Kamen explained that over hundreds of millions of years, the godlike life form became more complex, with limbs that allowed for locomotion across the endless expanse of the heavens, and sophisticated photoreceptor cells capable of seeing all things. Based on newly obtained evidence, the Pan sanctorum is thought to have first experimented with creation ex nihilo around 7 million years ago. Kamen noted that the chimpanzee deity made several early attempts to produce rudimentary solar systems, but on each occasion was spooked upon inadvertently creating fire, which is said to have caused it to screech loudly, angrily swat away the newly formed sun, and then scamper across the universe to hide from the flaming sphere. “Natural selection played a huge role in the evolution of divinity, and in this regard, the adaptive value of Pan sanctorum’s immortality proved critical to its survival,” said Kamen, adding that with its opposable thumbs, the divine ancestor was eventually able to fashion primitive tools for creating crude oceans and basic mountain ranges. “Today’s Lord Almighty actually still has a small bony protuberance in the small of His back, the vestigial remains of a tail we believe was used by an even older, monkey-like god to facilitate climbing, allowing it to escape into the heavens when faced with danger.” [like the Tower of Babel, and spaceships] “That potential for threats made it an evolutionary imperative for the primate god to develop omnipotence, ”Kamen continued. “As well as sharp claws and pointed incisors.” Though its smaller brain limited its cognitive abilities, the chimpanzee deity is believed to have possessed not only self-awareness, but also spatial intelligence, object permanence, and a rudimentary capacity for knowing all that is, all that has been, and all that ever will be. However, it was only relatively recently that the heavenly species developed the intellectual capacity for higher reasoning, critical thinking, and infinite wisdom, according to Kamen. For Pan sanctorum, he noted, the passage of divine judgment was “purely a matter of primal instinct.” “While complex speech would not emerge until the evolution of the Cro-Magnon god from Pan Sanctorum, the chimpanzee deity was capable of using grunts and hand gestures to convey basic emotions such as happiness, anger, or the forgiveness of sin,” Kamen said. “However, it appears that the chimp deity often exhibited extremely aggressive behavior, in some cases unleashing its divine wrath with little if any provocation toward the mortal chimps it created in its own image.” He added, “It is our understanding that these creatures lived in a kind of jungle-like forerunner to the Garden of Eden, until a day came when their enraged creator cast them out, flinging feces at them as they fled.” I'm profiling the discussants on this thread just to clear out apparent inconsistencies: Please answer these questions: *Do you believe God exists? if yes, then which religion fuels your belief? *Do you believe God exists and yet you hate whoever he is? |

iamord: let me also attend to this your quote in detail.
when I use the term god man I am referring to the people over the sands of time that are known to have followed concept of divine incarnation. Of which jesus is not an exemption. I believe that jesus existed and that he was a god man.. To understand this things u must be religious tolerant and open minded. am also still learning everyday Several Christian writers admit the belief in earth-born Gods (called Sons of Gods), and their coming into the world by human birth was prevalent among the heathen long prior to the time of Christ. Hear the proof. We will first quote St. Justin relative to the prevalence of the belief among the ancient Greeks and Romans. Addressing them, he says, “Here is the proof that the tradition of the Son of God coming alto the world, and "the Word becoming flesh," was established amongst the ancient Greeks and Romans long prior to the era of Christianity, or the birth of Christ. p. 207 And yet more than a hundred millions of Christian professors can now be found, who, in their historic ignorance, suppose St. John was the first writer who taught the doctrine of "the Word becoming flesh," and that Jesus Christ was "the first and only begotten Son of God" who ever made his appearance on earth. How true it is that "ignorance is the mother of devotion" to creeds”. The story of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in certain details to that of the earlier savior-gods Krishna and Horus, et al., who for millennia preceding Christianity held great favor with the people in much the same way as Jesus does today. Horus was born of the virgin Isis- Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three "wise men." His earthly father was named "Seb" ("Joseph" . Seb is also known as "Geb": "As Horus the Elder he...was believed to be the son of Geb and Nut." --Lewis Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends, 84. He was of royal descent. At age 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was baptized, having disappeared for 18 years. Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus or Iarutana (Jordan) by "Anup the Baptizer" ("John the Baptist" , who was decapitated. He had 12 followers and/or fellow gods, two of whom were his "witnesses" and were named "Anup" and "Aan" (the two "Johns" . He performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised El-Azarus ("El- Osiris" , from the dead. The Egyptian god walked on water. His personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the "Father." He was thus called "Holy Child." Horus was transfigured on the Mount. The Egyptian god/Osiris was killed, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected. Horus, Osiris and/or Ra were called the "Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah," "God's Anointed Son," the "Son of Man," the "Good Shepherd," the "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of Truth," etc. The Egyptian god was "the Fisher" and was associated with the Fish ("Ichthys" , Lamb and Lion. He came to fulfill the Law. The Egyptian god/Osiris was called "the KRST," or "Anointed One." Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years." this is just one .. U can research for yourself.. All things occurrence calls for deep thinking I read through your post and i decided to give a cursory response! iamord: when I use the term god man I am referring to the people over the sands of time that are known to have followed concept of divine incarnation. Of which jesus is not an exemption. I believe that jesus existed and that he was a god man.. Sir this is a doctrine rooted in Eastern mysticism and most folks here are 'SCIENCE GENIUSES' ready to debunk any form of spirituality and i wonder Why they haven't started attacking you yetiamord: "As Horus the Elder he...was believed to be the son of Geb and Nut." --Lewis Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends, 84. These are myths sir and myths are susceptible to cultural colorations, i suppose! iamord: Several Christian writers admit the belief in earth-born Gods (called Sons of Gods), and their coming into the world by human birth was prevalent among the heathen long prior to the time of Christ. Wow then there is a basis for many religions to be true given that these religions have these reincarnatns as God figures...I stil wondr why folks haven't started attacking you yet iamord: Hear the proof. We will first quote St. Justin relative to the prevalence of the belief among the ancient Greeks and Romans. Addressing them, he says, “Here is the proof that the tradition of the Son of God coming alto the world, and "the Word becoming flesh," was established amongst the ancient Greeks and Romans long prior to the era of Christianity, or the birth of Christ. p. 207 But i want to ask! Are these myths real. Was Horus actually a man? If yes, are other mythical figures like Zeus, Hades and Poseidon also men who walked the surface of the earth as legend tells!? |

Any of the things you listed above that exists are in themselves objectively verifiable. They can be observed and possibly measured.

And they never claim to be omnipotent, omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipresent, omni-omni, the alpha and omega, the omicron, the nu and hu, the invisible physician, etc" Neither do they demand worship, tithes, offering, fasting, et al.

I didn't call you names or try to denigrate you in anyway...I was just trying to make a point. The questions i asked show that you accept in good FAITH the results of so called experts and you have not verified them yourself...similarly people who have had experiences involving demons have made their findings and come to the conclusion that they exist and are malevolent...and some others accept the observation and experiences of others concerning demons in good FAITH... No offense bro! We are just stating our positions and I think we can criticise eachother without hurling 'missiles' of insult at eachother! |

Noble you say, Noble indeed. Do noble people label TWINS an abomination and promptly execute them in honor of the gods! It appears your definitions of NOBILITY and BRAVERY are quite different from those in the dictionary. This so called WESTERNS whom you villify sought to end these varieties of MADNESS with the introduction of CHRISTIANITY but unfortunately we still have Africans loyal to their 'NOBLE and BRAVE' forefathers and they carrying on and defend their GARGANTUAM INSANITY in the name of tradition! |
