Do our concept of God truly exist? I feel that humans are yet to grasp who God truly is.

If he does exist, I refuse to believe that he experiences emotions like humans do, notwithstanding humans being made in his image.

Think about it, if you possess the power to create man and in doing so, grant him free will to act as he wish, will you be angry if he misbehaves.

God created animals as well. Shouldn't he get angry when they destroy and kill humans?

you refuse to believe that the person who made you like he is, has the same kind of emotions that he has given you?

Who told you God gave man the free will to do whatever he pleases? Is giving man a choice the same as giving him free will to do whatever, even right now you are not free to do whatever you imagine so where does your concept of free will come from.

Do you not realize that you are not free and only when you are set free can you actually be free and say things like free will.

Your logic is flawed

Chief2410:
This hits hard.A true God will not show human emotion like hatred,jealousy and envy.

so to you a true God is a robot and an AI?

Grace201010:
Very funny thread and comments.... God does not hate anyone, yes he can be angry, but his anger is just for a moment but his love is for eternity....

God doesn't love everyone and there are those God hates

Franking:
A perfect being cannot creat imperfect beings. God does not exist.

your logic is flawed. . .

Node911:
Is God angry with you?

People think something that created this universe give a heck about whatever happen in here. Delulu. Is it not same God that took so many lives as sacrifices in the same script? He’s even planning to end the life with some of you as barbecue in hell.

please tell us the script and the name of the God that took those lives, if what you have written here is the truth

Should someone you lie against not be angry with you? If not, then hope you never get angry when people do that to you

richmond500:
I don't care if he is angry with me or not,
He has already threatened to burn me in hell cos someone I don't know ate an apple.

Adam and his babe ate an apple but I will be the one to be tortured in hell.

you believe that God who is supposed to be good threatened to burn you in hell for what some else did?

Is that your level of understanding or you are pretending to reason that way?

AllBlack:
Another GUILT TRIPPING story.
Angry with me for the sins he already knew I was going to commit before I was born abi which one?

no God shouldn't be angry with you for hurting others because he is supposed to know all things and shouldn't feel empathy with those you hurt so that you wouldn't be guilty tripped?

ReacherSaidNoth:
A god who displays human emotions cannot be anything but man made. If there is some creator entity, it cannot be the maniac in the bible who wants to roast people for not buying his bùllshït

so emotions are man made, does your car have feelings or your phone tell you it loves you?

Dogalmighty17:
Angry with me that what happened? Was he angry with the 5 kids in Yelwata, 1 as young as three years of age, that got burnt to death by Fulani? Was he angry that he refused to stop it? A God watches that and does nothing? Yeah... That's some god you have there.

did you even read the post before posting this?

At least read and learn from the post before posting a comment.

My name is XYZ I graduated from secondary school at 15 in year 2010. That was the same year I first masturbated; I was in my room one day and all of a sudden I started stroking my genitals; after a little while I felt the release of semen. The feeling was enjoyable and soothing or so I thought not knowing the Devil had crept into my life. I curse the day I got to do this first.

I was staying alone with my dad in a single room apartment and dad would always leave early for work and return late. Immediately dad leaves for work I start masturbating. Sometimes once in a day, sometimes twice, even thrice at most.

I got admission into the university and this didn't stop. It was easier for me since I stayed off campus. Sometimes I masturbate before going to class and feel dizzy when in class through out my stay in the university I was masturbating. I started developing negative consequences like anxiety, guilt, tiredness and weakness, I thought some of these things were normal or so inability to associate with people especially ladies. I could just see a girl then and I want to have sex with her and sunce i can't I'd wait till my spare time and do the deed. I would think people were seeing through me that I masturbate. I had this false confidence like I was the man.

I moved in to the school hostel in my third year and that didn't stop. I masturbated in my hostel room and even in the open field in school. Just trying to skip a lot of details. There's no place of family or friend I've visited where I did not masturbate. Even during my NYSC in year 2022 I masturbated all through the scheme.

I try to stop and can go off for I week or three days and i'd be back to it. I masturbate with my productive time and It has been 15 years now since I started masturbating I don't have good social skills, my relationship with people is faint, i don't have a job and its even a scandal now. People around me say it because I don't have a girlfriend I don't have friends and I don't talk to anybody. Not having a girlfriend is not my problem Worst of it all is I missed my purpose. I can't say it to anybody cause I'm ashamed of it so I came here to pour my heart and advice anyone who is tempted. I t ruins life. I'm supposed to be a role model but I'm the opposite. I used to have high hopes but now my intelligence level has dwindled.

Masturbation is a demon and an evil spirit. I just pray God helps and heal me and restore me. Praise God.

stop blaming masturbation, it's your addiction and laziness

You think successful people don't masturbate, you think husbands and men don't sleep with multiple women weekly.

There are times addictions can be demonic but when you over spiritualize and excuse your laziness you realize you don't even develop the disciple you need to control and curb something as masturbation looked even if you stopped masturbating you may not achieve those things you blame masturbation for.

Get discipled bro

MindHacker9009:
Samson was fine when he entered a prostitute, but it was when he fell in love with Delilah that he fell.

ya he loved the wrong woman, guy wasn't lucky with women

AntiChristian:
In the Book of Judges 16:1, Samson saw a prostitute and went in into her!

The people tried to kill him but he escaped with great strength!

It was later he met Delilah whom he foolishly told his secret. It was after shaving his head that the LORD left him.

The LORD didn't leave him for prostitution!

so you are encouraging prostitution?

You know it's funny how you quote the bible but neglect that God is against daughters and sons being turned to prostitutes, and isn't it interesting that it doesn't say that Samson slept with the prostitute.

Even without a woman, if Samson shaved his own hair would he not have lost strength.

why do you waste your time serving the devil like this

cutecommend:
If your heart is genuine and good, dress the way your heart looks like.

I got this insight from someone: "Do you expect a mad man to say his heart is not mad, though he is appears, behaves and dresses like a mad man?"

As a true Christian, it is wrong to dress in worldly, seductive and ungodly ways that makes even sinners confused or doubt whether you are a true Christian. You dress to glorify God, not to dress or appear anyhow while saying "God sees the heart".

Lastly, decent dressing should not be worshipped or idolized: and a Christian should dress decently in God's standard and by the leading of the HolySpirit, and not because of any Church's sentiments, tradition, dogma e.t.c.

Please remember to say this prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. Forgive me all my sins and come into my life in Jesus name. Amen.

Happy Sunday to you. Visit a bible-believing church.

if you believe a person dresses the way their hearts look would you not confuse a saint to be one who looks like it, by saying o you look decent so therefore your heart is decent.

If the devil like to act like God and appear as an angel, why do you think children of the devil would do differently

Some of the most wicked people are the most modestly dress with false humility, dressing in ways that command respect from others to hide the disgust in their hearts

cutecommend:
Dress in a way that glorifies God. God wants you to dress to please Him.

so do beggars and poor people please God by how they dress?

Zooposki:
I'm not going to. Go and do your research.

I appreciate the silence from you, that's best for everyone else as well

Node911:
Let say I’m wrong for putting it that way? Have you critically sit down and use common sense to read the Bible? God created so many mess in Old Testament and repented in New Testament and say to people that old things are passed away. Please think nah, everything isn’t about emotion.

To the colonial master question, you can make research nah.

steep wasn't emotional he asked you a critical and logical question, so please tell us how did your colonial masters write books that was used centuries and millennials before them?

shouldn't it be easy to answer for one as knowledgeable as yourself

Zooposki:
Oga, go and do your research. There is a whole wide world of research out there. Ive planted the seed, its now time for you to water and take care of that seed. I'm tired of talking and writing.

you brought an accusation that is unique, so the least you can do is instead of being a gossip or false accuser you could share a link to where your "verified" fact came from

sylve11:
If you truly believe that Jesus Christ came to this earth to free you from your sins, then we can confidently agree that He is the central figure concerning the issue of sin in our world.

Many will invoke God as a facade of civility, using it as justification for the atrocious acts they commit.

That hell wey una dey talk about, una go really go.

though many as you claim may do such it is only tantamount to self justification and not true justification

so you believe that God is the creator

Zooposki:
No be today. Jesus has had different names throughout history, from Baal, to Zeus, to etc, to Jesus. The name will keep on changing to deceive the guillible.

help those who are gullible by proving that Jesus is baal

Proudlyngwa:
Wrong Reason.

That is not why our Lord and Saviour came

so he didn't come to save you from the consequences of the sins you repented from?

tosyne2much:
From the dept of my heart, I'm just tired of hearing this same thing for nearly 3 decade of my life

Jesus this, Jesus that yet the country continues to wallot in poverty

did you even read the op ?

AntiChristian:
The reason Jesus came to the world is the same reason other Prophets like Noah, Moses, Abraham, etc came into the world!

To guide to the true worship of the one and only God without partners!

so why don't you follow him, you antichrist

God gets angry and if he is angry with you ask him to forgive you, lol what else can you do

Splendour99:
You can choose to believe what you want.

and I choose to believe the truth of God's word.

wowcatty:
I believe it’s the spirit of God, maybe I didn’t put it well. What I meant by a fellowship hall is small room for about 20 people. And not leading a prayer in church like a pastor after preaching. See ehn, we all see true worship differently. I don’t believe you can really worship God in spirit and in truth if you wear shoes during prayer, with women hair uncovered and so many other things.

so you don't believe what Jesus said about God the Father seeking those who worship him in spirit and in truth.

That you had to add remove shoes and cover your hair?

Splendour99:
Well, if you read the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 14, he was addressing how things should be done in a local church gathering. He never referred to marriage at all, unless you want to read that into his words.

please just stop... Stating that 1 Corinthians 14 is about what occurs in a local church gathering doesn't give you the right to say he never made any reference to marriage when you can clearly read him mention that wives should ask their husbands at home.

wowcatty:
NO!!!!
Each time I’m feeling overwhelmed with his grace and asked God if I should open a church to show gratitude, the answer I got in the past was, “if you’ve had an abortion, you have blood in your hands and can’t build me a house” but now I’m getting “you can have a fellowship hall where you can meet for Bible studies, share testimonies and reach out to the needy in your community, but you must never lead a prayer or preach, a man must always lead in prayer”

tell that Spirit speaking to you that I said it is a lying Spirit, what is the difference between a fellowship hall and a church. the devil is an author of confusion o. Imagine deceiving you that you cannot lead prayers nor preach and you believed

You "men" should not comment and run away..

Splendour99

1Cor.14.35 asking questions that could more appropriately be asked of their husbands at home. God's Book of the law guides our manners and customs here. Wives have no license to use the time of worship for unwarranted speaking.

Explain to us how asking questions now means teaching and preaching the word of God and how teaching the word of God "disrupts" and causes confusion. You want context right, over to you

Jughead29:
Woman should not because of some facts in the Bible.

When a woman is in her monthly period cycle, they are not to be seen near the pulpit.

Woman already have enough to face in this life that they will be called to lead God's people instead of man.

What happened when the woman pastor is in her cycle?
Or when she's pregnant?

Just that in Africa and mostly in Nigeria, I really do not know where they got the doctrine they preach today.

because men don't fall sick and don't take leave of absence?

Splendour99:
They were God's commandments through Paul for the setup of the church, and not Paul's opinions.

1 Corinth 13:37, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

Firstly it is 1 Corinthians 14 not 13, 14:37

1Cor.14.34 Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says. (NLT)

1Cor.14.34 Wives must not disrupt worship, talking when they should be listening, (MSB)

Do you understand the meaning of disrupting a meeting?

And who are they to submit to, why their husbands and not church leadership?
