OLAADEGBU:

God created Man's body out of dirt but where does his spirit come from? How is man said to be living soul?

OLAADEGBU:

What is the name of this Source of Righteousness?

OLAADEGBU:

Who said that Adam and Eve only had many children after the birth of Seth?

OLAADEGBU:

Do you freely consume your medication as food and beverages?

OLAADEGBU:

What then is?

OLAADEGBU:

If you really believed Genesis 1:1 you will not have any difficulties in believing the rest of the Bible. The triune God, Elohim is eternal, existing before the universe, and is omnipotent, having creating the universe.

The triune God, Elohim, the uni-plural OT name for the divine "Godhead," is a name which is plural with its Hebrew "im" ending but commonly singular in meaning (just as the plural of sheep is still sheep).

OLAADEGBU: Is religion the root of all evil?

A common refrain sung in the twenty–first century is that religion is the root cause of the great atrocities of human history. In reality, more people died as a result of secularist ideologies in the last century alone than have died in all the religiously motivated conflicts of Western history.

First, the Nazi philosophy that Jews were subhuman and that Aryans were Supermen led to the extermination of six million Jews. In the words of Sir Arthur Keith, a militant anti–Christian physical anthropologist: "The German Fuhrer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consistently sought to make the practices of Germany conform to the theory of evolution." Far from religiously motivated, Hitler’s "Final Solution to the Jewish problem" was grounded in the naturalistic philosophy of survival of the fittest. In fact, Hitler overtly distanced himself from Christianity, proclaiming, "I shall never come to terms with the Christian lie" and "Our epoch will certainly see the end of the disease of Christianity."

Furthermore, the inherently atheistic utopian philosophy of communism eclipsed even the carnage of Hitler's Germany. Karl Marx saw in philosophical naturalism the scientific and sociological support for an economic experiment that led to the mass murder of multiplied millions worldwide. Mao Tse–tung’s communist dictatorship of China accounted for the deaths of an estimated sixty–five million people, while the U.S.S.R. under Stalin saw between twenty and thirty million murdered as a result of agrarian collectivization and the Great Purge. Add to that two million Cambodians––nearly a quarter of that nation's population—massacred by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime, and the death toll resulting from the secular ideology of communism becomes a horror beyond comprehension. More people died as a result of secularist ideologies in the last century alone than have died in all the religiously motivated conflicts of Western history.

Finally, a third ideology of modern secularism has led to even more ghastly consequences. Though not formally organized under a deranged dictator, this invisible holocaust continues to claim the lives of untold millions around the globe. Four thousand helpless victims––more than the total casualties of 9/11––die each day in the United States alone. The secularist ideology to which I refer, of course, is abortion-ism. Indeed, the modern bio-ethical holocaust has eclipsed the carnage of Nazism and communism combined. Even apart from the ongoing genocide of the unborn, over one hundred million people died at the hands of secularist regimes during the twentieth century. Coupled with recognition of the innumerable humanitarian aid efforts motivated by religious commitments, these statistics should motivate secularists toward humble introspection, rather than haughty inculpation of religion.

OLAADEGBU: Do you see your need of the Saviour? If you don't, let me ask you a question. How would you best convince a man (who was about to jump 10,000 feet from a plane) that he needs to put on a parachute? You would hang him out of the plane by his ankles for a few seconds, and let his own common sense work for him. Let me do you a big favour and hang you out of the door of eternity for a few seconds. After you die you have to face a law that is much harsher than gravity. It is God's moral Law--and it will judge you from the standard of moral perfection. He sees lust as adultery and hatred as murder. If you have stolen anything, you are a thief and you cannot enter Heaven. Lying lips are an "abomination" to Him, and the Bible warns that "all" liars will end up in Hell. If you pass through death refusing to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" you will be justly damned. You need the Saviour. Now, let your common sense kick in. Go to www.NeedGod.com and it will tell you how to be saved. Don't wait another minute.

OLAADEGBU: Isaiah Wolf said: "Is marijuana also intelligently designed for humans to freely consume?"

Answer:

Marijuana is a weed. It is part of the Genesis curse. Those who smoke it called it "dope" for a reason.

OLAADEGBU:

"In the beginning God....." (Genesis 1:1).

God is outside time. He is eternal, with no beginning or end. He also knows all things, being infinitely intelligent.

OLAADEGBU:

I just answered your question. Can you clarify what or who the source of righteousness, wisdom and love is?

OLAADEGBU:

I believe he was.

OLAADEGBU:

What do you call the Deity?

OLAADEGBU:

I just answered your question. Can you clarify what or who the source of righteousness, wisdom and love is?

OLAADEGBU:

Happy New Year! I give thanks to God. Who do you give thanks to?

OLAADEGBU:

The Bible has given us all that we need to know, read your Bible:

"After he begot Seth, the day of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters" (Genesis 5:4).

OLAADEGBU:

You may have to ask the skeptic who asked the question in the OP.

OLAADEGBU:

It is a sin when you are jealous or envious of what doesn't belong to you. Our worship belongs to God and He is rightfully jealous when you give to idols what belongs to Him. If you are married would you be happy if your wife gives what rightfully belongs to you to another man?

OLAADEGBU:

Law of Noncontradiction

Although a diverse group of human authors wrote the books of the Bible in differing styles over a long period of time, the Bible really has only one author—God. Since God is perfect, holy, and true, we know there are no real contradictions in His Word, no matter what it seems at first. So we must delve more deeply.

As one expert says, "If the Bible is truly from God, and if God is a God of truth (as he is), then ... if two parts seem to be in opposition or in contradiction to each other, our interpretation of one or both of these parts must be in error."¹

Many supposed discrepancies are noted when people place two passages in false opposition to each other. For instance, Ecclesiastes 7:29 says, "God made man upright." But Psalm 51:5 says, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity."

If you look closely at the context, however, Ecclesiastes 7:29 is talking about Adam and Eve, who were originally created upright. In Psalm 51, King David is speaking of his personal situation, as a fallen descendent of Adam. Thus, there is no contradiction.

OLAADEGBU:

Someone Said: "Where did Cain get his wife?"

With only Adam and Eve as the only parents of all humanity, Cain and Abel, then, must have married their sisters. All of the first-generation siblings married each other in order to populate the earth. At that time there was no law against incest. Because the genetic line was so pure in the beginning, there was no problem with inbreeding. But as the population grew large enough, and as the risk of genetic problems increased due to sin's curse, God outlawed marriage between immediate family members (see Lev. 18:6–18 ).

BTW. If you have a wife, you married a distant sister.

OLAADEGBU:

We have to keep on giving them the powerful word of God because that is the final authority that we have to abide by.

OLAADEGBU:

God originally created a perfect world and commanded Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply but when they sinned God could see that future generations would begin to develop health problems because of the effect of sin on their bodies and that is the reason why we should heed this loving health commandment, those who marry close relatives can tell you what they go through health wise.

OLAADEGBU: "My wife is pregnant - will my daughter be born in sin? If so -- why? That is like saying in a court of law -- you are guilty until proven innocent. Is that what Christians want?" - Alex Stoute

Response:

If you already had children you wouldn't need to ask that question. Of course she will be born with a sinful human nature ("born in sin" is your wording). You will spend years correcting her and teaching her to do what is right, because she will intuitively know how to do what is morally wrong. She will know how to be selfish, and because you love her you will teach her to share. She will know how to lie. Hopefully, you will teach her to speak the truth. She will instinctively know how to be disobedient to you and your wife. You will teach her to obey, because you love her. Sin it has nothing to do with being guilty until you are proven innocent. It's one of life's realities.

OLAADEGBU:

Don't fret yourself, Jesus appealed to Yahweh not to Allah.

Bidam: I mean't the part that died was the flesh which is earthly. He died to raise many sons to glory because except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies it abides only.

The tomb is empty, no man on earth dies and his tomb remains empty Only Jesus did that.

Jesus is the ressurection and the life,He said so himself and He died to give us a new life which is eternal.

He is coming soon to judge the earth, so He sent someone like me to tell you to repent and believe the good news..Give thanks for that.

Bidam: I don't think God died bro.. Deity don't die..The Man Jesus died.The God Jesus resurrected.

aaronson: why do you think the bible say,He sent His son to die for us if 1/3 didn't die to fulfill the scripture

OLAADEGBU: Someone Said: "Jesus appealed to God on the cross when He himself is God, supposedly."

Response:

When God, the omnipresent Upholder of the Universe, became a Man, He didn’t cease to be the omnipresent Upholder of the Universe. He was limited to time and space, and called God His Father.

aaronson: Technically,He's the Blessed trinity so the son part of him died on the cross and He had to call on the father part of him just to fulfill the scripture and when He said IT IS FINISHED,The Holy Spirit Part of Him took course and that was why he could wake up the third day cus the Holy spirit supersedes death and also to fulfill the scripture and the jews which He already told...'Destroy the temple in 3days and I would rebuild'

JMAN05:

ya. that the way he expects people to multiply. had they listened to Him, there wouldnt have been a problem.



True, God had a special people, the israelites. but this was not His making, those other nation chose their way of life which contradicts with His. however, He extends mercy to any one who changes his ways to follow Him.



No. you ve perfectly dodged the question i asked you. that is atheists for you.

JMAN05:

wrong answer. assuming you created two persons only. let the analogy match.
