Why did the help when he is needed is not the same as he is responsible.

Responsible or not, he can help, why did not just help?

Two main reasons.

1. The devil, (through sinful man) has primary influence on this earth.

2. Man's free will. God places a premium on that.

None of these issues would be controversial if we actually read and understand the bible.

If/when you desire truth, you'll seek it, and you'll find it. Till then, enjoy yourself in the ways of the world and make merry .

Lol is there any other gospel? Every contrary gospel should be renamed pelgos lol.

By the way, sha no forget the resurrection o. It's not just about the cross. If there was no resurrection then we'd all be in BIG TROUBLE.

Very nice.

Maybe the same reason He "didn't help" the hundreds of thousands of babies aborted each day.

GOD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EVIL THAT MAN DOES!

Kindly go ahead and tell us sir!

OP posted this under Christianity. God is love. God is not promiscuous.

Maximus69:


Jesus gave two forms of rule, one for the general public and the other for his own followers.

Love your neighbour as yourself {Mark 12:31} This rule goes along with the golden rule which says "do onto others what you expect them to do to you"[color] Matthew 7:12

There is no human society where these two laws can be undermined!

But to his own followers Jesus gave strange rules that's totally different from what any human will find palatable!

[color=red]"You must have love AMONGST YOURSELVES, it's the same type of love i have for you that you must have for your fellow believer" John 13:34-35

This means a Christian should be prepared to sacrifice (if the need arises) his own life for his Christian brother or sister!

So the word RESPECT ONLY THOSE WHO AREN'T POSING ANY THREAT TO YOUR LIFE is what even the atheists themselves can't refute because they expert people to respect them despite their ideology. But that doesn't apply to true Christians, WE MUST RESPECT ALL PEOPLE no matter their attitude or barbaric lifestyles! 1Peter 3:15-17

God bless you!

Lol ok thanks. I wan fear say my fellow brother/sister in Christ wan dey advocate eye for eye.

Some people love, but they are promiscuous? OP you DO NOT know what love is.

You're correct but please let's remember to interpret these scriptures in light of the finished work of Christ. For one, born again Christians are immune from God's wrath/punishment. Jesus already bore that on our behalf.

I'm concerned that a Christian thinks it's fine not to do humble...

spending your money and having fun with friends going to parties and other social groups are never worldly so long they are legitimate.

Also, when Christ stated that it was impossible for a rich man to enter God's kingdom. Identify what he meant by God's kingdom, he meant the time of his death and resurrection. Luke 13:25

Going by what happened when Christ came on earth to die and resurrect (approx: 2000 years ago) it was impossible for a rich to abandon all his wealth and give them to the poor and come follow Jesus Christ and become his disciple and follow him through the wilderness to Jerusalem where he will be crucified and resurrected to bring down his kingdom on earth.

So when Christ was saying it is impossible for a rich man to enter God's kingdom, he wasn't talking to you today but the rich men of that generation of 2000 years ago .

Before his crucifixion God's kingdom wasn't here among men so it was required of men to leave all their wealth and follow Christ to Jerusalem. Even Peter says we have left all and follow you. Matthew 19:27
But after his crucifixion and resurrection that requirement of becoming poor does not stand anymore.

If you have never understood the bible to this point you can never be free, you will just be suffering for nothing in the name of being sobber

What is your definition of wordly?

By the way, I believe what Jesus said applies to everyone. I believe he's saying rich people trust in their wealth. It's difficult to let go of something as secure as wealth for something as "intangible" as the kingdom of God.

Why do you think its mainly people who have hit rock bottom or have no other options that see God move mightily in their life?

People who have other options or think they have other options usually try those options before God. Unfortunately that limits God's movement.

Jesus said we should approach his kingdom like children. This means we should recognize our helplessness.

Heaven doesn't help those who help themselves. Heaven helps the helpless.

Choose one. Be led by the spirit (assuming you're born again) or be led by the flesh. You can't mix and match. By the way, being happy in Jesus will actually make you happier on earth. The question is what is the source of your happiness. Only you can truly answer that.

I'll leave you after this, i remember Tatime once told me when we had a discussion about our friends on Nairaland.

"budaatum is not our type, she is not humble so she can't learn"

The word be fruitful and fill the earth was actually talking about sexual reproduction, for your information God said the same to the animals {Genesis 1:21-22} surely their is no special assignment given those creatures than mating and multiplying!

God didn't create humans imperfect, but after the event in Eden we became imperfect, meaning our abilities are limited due to DEATH and SICKNESS!

So each human can only pick one or two NOT fulfill all what God said there at least for now!

Wasn't it Jesus himself that said we that believe would do greater works than he himself did? John 14:12

Maximus69:


You only need to learn ~

HOW TO TOLERATE AND RESPECT OTHER HUMANS LIKE YOU NO MATTER WHAT THEY BELIEVE, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T INFLICT ANY PAIN ON YOU!

I'm curious...what's your response when/if they inflict pain on you? You stop respecting them?

Moralgladiator:
Then why did the Christian God curse and angrily drive them out of the garden into utter hardship for displaying that freewill? God right there had expectations which Adam and Eve clearly didn't meet.

Where did you read that he was angry? He told them already that if they ate the fruit, they'll die. They ate the fruit, they died (separation from God).

Having free will is not a creative defect.

Una no go gree hear word.

Just send them a message through the contact us option. They'll reply within a few days. Or you can call them. It's not an issue at all and will be resolved very easily.

Landing in Quebec can be a little tricky actually.

Wetin be black engine oil and what is it used for

What does the Kingdom of God have to do with all this?

Inflammatory and untrue topic title.

During that age, non jews were called dogs. Its like how some people are called aboki, afonja, etc.

Before being born again, what we should be primarily concerned about is our spirits. If you work on your soul by renewing your mind from now to eternity, it will profit you nothing as you still have the dead spirit of Adam and most of the realities of the new birth don't even apply to you. After being born again and receiving a perfect spirit, then you can (actually must) begin to renew your mind and offering your body as a living sacrifice.

Hmmm new flesh

So what exactly do you need help with, OP? Tips on how to manipulate or force her to stay against her will? She wants to leave, make your peace with it and move on.

Trust me on this...if you feel you "need" a woman, then you aren't ready to marry her. You're ready for marriage when you don't need to.

Bros, do you know what marriage or even love means?

Na so. Smoke and mirrors...

Oga face your work.

The two posters above me are correct. Also, if you prefer, you can say that we breathe air instead of oxygen.
