RoyalDiadems:
Ask yourself. What should be my benefit if I lie.

I'm not here to convince anyone. Let everyone face his own realities.

God never said we should convince anybody. "Tell them the truth about me". That's all the commandments we have. We'll all be able to verify the truth when we die but at that time, there'll be no second chance.

RoyalDiadems:
Lied? You refuted it claiming that Appendicitis could be healed without surgery even in Nigeria in the early 90s. This information, I'm yet to believe because I've not been able to confirm from any doctor who could give me the medical capacity to heal this ailment at the time, but I never called you a liar for that.

I'm yet to confirm details from my aged mum who's still alive. Once I do, I'll update that thread. But let me tell you, we can only share the truth as we know it. What would I gain by shoring up lies to tell an anyone about God? If I need to lie for God in order to authenticate His power, I'm the most foolish being. Only a fool deceived himself for a useless God for whom he must lie! That's the most silly thing a human being could ever do. What gain is there. If there's no God, I'll be glad to live as the god of my life, but see, I have evidences to the contrary! And if you don't believe, you'll be shocked when you die.

RoyalDiadems:
Vivid experiences and encounters.

You see, there was a time I was practising religion until I lost interest in it completely. I wanted to try Islam but the stories of Mohammed's murderous escapades made me perish the thought.

I thought about the many miracles I've seen and personally experienced as a Christian, and told myself, even idol worshippers also see miracles. I started asking, what if there's no God? That was 1994. I also thought, what if there's God of a truth?

I told myself, wouldn't I have been a Muslim if my dad was one? What if my dad's Christian God was fake, and the Buddist's god is the true god? How am I to know the truth? Is there God really? Why all these chaos?


For the next 5 years I was looking for answers. I told myself I won't be a Christian just because my dad was one. What if my dad was wrong?

The more I searched, the more I got convinced that there's no God anywgere in the universe. I started living a carefree life. There's nothing out there to be afraid of after all. I don't think there's any God anywhere.

Five years after this form of thinking, I came across a book, Evolution or Creation? The book detailed the stories about the origins of life according to science and the Bible. I was awed about the description of majestic galaxies, including Earth's Galaxy, the Milky Way. The size of each star and the size of their clusters where there could be millions of stars in one cluster that makes a galaxy. My brains couldn't even fathom the size of one cluster, apart from the fact that there are so many such clusters in the universe. The book gave reasons why such clusters of stars which we call galaxies couldn't have ever been the result of an accident. Then, it discussed about the missing link of the evolution theory. These reasonings shook me to the foundation.

Not long after reading that book, I chanced upon my long time friends of secondary school days. They were rough guys all the while I was being a religious guy. Now, that I was living a rough life like they did, I went visiting them on an agreed-upon-day hoping to have fun with like-minded guys.

I was shocked to find them in the midst of other friends of theirs discussing the Bible. They were also sharing spiritual experiences which were being corroborated by those in the discussion who were Witnesses. They were calling themselves in titles such as Evangelist, Deacon, etc.

I was wondering how Peter and Samson had become such Spiritually powerful persons. Contrasting what I heard with what I knew them to be when we were in secondary school, I was shocked beyond measure.

I began to be very troubled within me from that day. God literally arrested me. I remember crying one night that I needed to know God personally. That wasn't like me. At that time I was a hard guy. Strange things were happening within me. A force mightier than me was revolutionizing me from within.

Each time I visited these friends,I always met them studying the book I had abandoned - the Bible. They were living a very changed and enviable life. I told God, I knew the Bible more than these guys. "What then did I lack?" "Why can't I also experience the supernatural like these ones do?" A voice answered me, "You need the Holy Ghost."

Not long after, I found a book: Biblical Fasting and Prayer, written by R.D. Flory. There was a section in that book titled "How to Receive the Holy Spirit." I decide to put the lessons taught in the section into practice, since a physical evidence accompanies the exercise- speaking in new tongues.

I read the verses of scripture detailing the promise of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

I told myself, "After doing all these, if there's no speaking in tongues for me, then, everything about God is a ruse." I planned afterwards to finally abandon God - forever. I was planning to live rough and enjoy life to the fullest.

I followed the instructions in that book. I went fasting for 7 days, and praying. 1st, 2nd, 3rd day through the 6th day, nothing happened.

On the 7th day, I was rounding up my fasting in prayer while also thinking about the free life I was about the live, I felt a strange heat upon my head. It was as if I was on fire but the fire wasn't burning painfully. I can't really describe the experience.

I found myself muttering something deeply in another language. I didn't understand what I was saying but the language kept kept flowing out. I began to prophecy right there in my room. It happened from 7pm till about 11pm that night. When the whole thing quieted, I felt like a new being. As though something has changed within me. I told myself that God is Real. It was the 14th of July, 2000.

That was the beginning of my journey into the supernatural. The truth about God's existence is something I cannot deny but honestly, it's very difficult to explain.

MaxInDHouse:
Naaaaaaaaaaa he killed off evildoers all with their generations!

RoyalDiadems:
At the bolded, is that not why he said to Eve, "Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil"?

RoyalDiadems:
I don't have personal testimonies that are medical, since I don't have any health issue, but let me share something related.

There was a couple who came to me for prayers. The wife was 8 months pregnant.

They narrated how two different prophets have met them on the way to tell them that the husband offended a witch, and that witches have determined that they would punish the man by taking the life of the wife on the day of delivery. They were told that the witches have put the baby in a permanent sitting position in the womb. And truly, at 8 months, ultrasound results showed that the Baby was sitting. Doctors told them it was wrong and that at 8 months the Baby's head should be down.

I laid hands on the lady and prayed in the name of Jesus, issuing directives for the baby to change its position to the normal position.

As I prayed, I saw the woman wriggling on the chair. So, when I finished praying, I asked the woman, "Why were you wriggling?" She responded, "The Baby was turning."

I asked them then to go for another ultrasound. The follow week, they reported back to me that the baby's head is now down. All glory to Jesus.

Let me add a personal testimony.

In 1982, my dad was living at Ilorin, Kwara state. My mum was living at Molete where she worked. She comes to Ilorin every weekend to spend the time with us.

On this particular occasion, I was on holiday, so it was decided that I go spend the holidays with mum at her station. So, we journeyed together to Molete from Ilorin.

Wẹ entered a bus full of women. The driver was the only man. My mum and I sat at the passengers' seat in front beside the driver. The bus took off for Molete, but along the line, the driver took my mum's permission to digress into a dusty road claiming he had to drop some passengers off in the near distance.

We started following the dusty road into the thick jungle and we became uncomfortable. My mum told the driver to return to the main road "Where are we going in this thick forest.?" She snapped.

The driver continued pacifying her until we went very far into the jungle. Here, we met no other human beings or vehicles. Our bus was the only moving thing travelling on that lonely road.

An argument started between my mum and the driver, she was even dragging the steering wheel with him. The women passengers at the back were asking her to be patient until we got in front of a lonely mud house built at the foot of a mountain.

All the women passengers alighted and dragged the door to close it, but the driver didn't move. Instead, he ordered us to get down. My mum told him, "This isn't my destination, I'm going to Molete, that's what I paid for." The driver shouted on us again to get down.

That was when we saw a huge dark man coming out from the mud house, wearing a black cloth. Mum wispered to me, "Pray, we're in the midst of kidnappers."

The women at the back who just alighted were still standing beside the bus urging us to obey the driver but we refused.

The huge man didn't talk. He just came straight to our door in an attempt to open it. Miraculously, the door didn't open. We already winded up the glass. All these while, my mum and I were in fervent prayers, calling on Jesus to help us and deliver us. I could remember mum quoting scriptures, "We shall not die but live..."

The driver then decided to get down from his side and drag us out. The door on his side too was supernaturally locked. He couldn't get out. We were there for about 10minutes while they struggled to open the door. The only thing I was saying was "In the name of Jesus!"

Suddenly, the huge man in black attire left the door and started pacing up and down like a lunatic. It was obvious he had lost his mind. Then, suddenly, his senses returned.

He came back to the door, looked closely at us, and then angrily ordered the driver to take us away, that we were not people they could use. All the while, those women were just looking on. They were actually partners.

The huge man was urgent on the driver to take us away. The driver, looking very confused then started the bus, and took us straight to Molete as instructed. Surprisingly, the door that didn't open in the bush, opened with ease when we arrived Molete.

That was how we escaped the den of ritualists in 1982. If not for Jesus, I wouldn't be here typing this experience.

There's nothing anyone can say to convince me to abandon Jesus. I have so many experiences with Him. How many can I tell? Is it how we escaped accident while my dad and I were coming from a retreat in Lagos in 1989? How we found the trailer we were about to collide with at the back of our bus on that narrow road that midnight is still a mystery to me till today. The only thing my dad shouted was "Jesus!!!" I can't even explain that incident.

I owe the Lord Jesus my very life. All glory be to His name.

MaxInDHouse:
God kills their parents because they're polluting the planet and since it's the parents that are supposed to cater for the children it's better to send all of them to early grave instead of allowing them to suffer!

MaxInDHouse:
We read actions not words!

RoyalDiadems:
Why ask? Would you ever believe if I tell you? It's better experienced. You need to experience it yourself. I don't have the time to tell my stories to someone who's only interested in hearing me for fun.

MaxInDHouse:
They are waste products since they will become miscreants as their parents won't be alive to cater for them!

MaxInDHouse:
Intellectuals listens to all sides before running a conclusion on anything not just reading the dictionary alone.

I have explained the difference between Atheists and Agnostics so prove me wrong with reasoning not QUOTING books after all you people detests it when we QUOTE books!

MaxInDHouse:
So you rely on what others told you!

Then what exactly is wrong with religionists trusting in what they learned from their fellowman?
Or is the dictionary from a supernatural force?
Is it not compiled by humans like you and i?

MaxInDHouse:
Do you know any rule He ignored?

MaxInDHouse:
It's not about the Creator but the SUPREME BEING!
Atheists are confused regarding whether there is God or not that's why they splitted into two fractions some claiming atheists while others claiming agnostics but they all have one thing in common: they will not submit to any school of thought having to do with the same standards for all!

RoyalDiadems:
Hahahaha.

Visible demonstrations.

RoyalDiadems:
That should tell you that what you think might sometimes be different from what is real.

I'm not a med. I don't visit hospitals either. So I know nothing about hospitals apart from my dad's experience.

My own personal experiences are things I can relay correctly. And those are realities. Not assumptions.

MaxInDHouse:
An atheist is an intelligent being who doesn't believe in subjection along with other intelligent beings to any supreme being!

There are many misinformed religionists who are atheistic, though they claim they're believers but since they will not subject to the same line of thought along with others then they are disguised atheists!

RoyalDiadems:
Oh, it could be demonstrated, because demons do manifest.

What I'm talking about relates to having your own personal experience.

RoyalDiadems:
If your inner eyes are not open, there's no way you can see or experience the spirit realm. You'll be shut up in the realm of logic and think that's all there is to life.

Ask God to take you on a spiritual journey. Pray earnestly in the name of Jesus. You'll start having experiences as you persevere. The spirit realm is best experienced than explained. Human vocabulary is very limited as a medium for expressing spiritual things.

RoyalDiadems:
It means being possessed by a demon of self destruction that shuts a man completely away from spiritual realities and makes him to live a logical life in a spiritual universe to the destruction of his own soul.

Onyiiobi7735:
Really? I have never read up on that.Sorry for the unwarranted insult.

babajero:
Christianity started with Jesus Christ and will end in Jesus Christ.

babajero:
and which people started Roman Catholic?

babajero:
Mohammed started the war to exterminate those who don't believe on believe on what he is saying, or was it not Mohammed that gave the commandment to kill Christians and Jews?, and he brought about the expansion ideology, and that gave rise to the crusaders. So Mohammed started it.

Onyiiobi7735:
Slave of senselessness,do you know whether he was poisoned to death? Your foolishness amazes me.So for your mind,heart failure causes coughing up blood,eeh Kwa.
Really,a lot of people are educated illiterates

MaxInDHouse:
What most of you don't know is that there's no sense (science) in the research that has taken humans thousands of years before coming to know that Snakes supposed to have limbs!

For thousands of years since Moses penned down that Bible book you're trying to use what mortal men are thinking to evaluate, in that same book Moses wrote:

Then Jehovah God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild animals of the field. On your belly you will go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life" Genesis 3:14

No scientist could figure out that SNAKES had hidden limbs not until thousands of years later when they found out through the DNA of snakes that four limbs are in it's skeleton yet it never grew out of its body!

Again when Moses penned down that water once filled this planet {Genesis 1:2; 7:19} scientist were sceptical about this report claiming that there's no way water could cover this planet but then Moses goes on to say that God blew a heavy wind so that the waters subsided {Genesis 8:1} go and ask your so called scientists what will happen if all the waters God iced in the two polar regions of the earth should melt!

Again Moses penned it down that God hangs the earth upon nothing {Job 26:7} it took your so called scientists thousands of years before they could make a space ship that took them far away from the earth then they took a picture of the earth from the moon, it was then that they were forced to agree with what Moses penned down that God hangs our planet home upon nothing!

So if you are following them let me tell you that they will still come to agree with every word found in that book (Bible) it's just a pity that you may not be alive then so as to get your name written in the memories of the Bible's Author who promised to bring back all His faithful friends {Job 14:13-15} and cure the thing that's making us grow weak to death {Isaiah 25:8} then He promised that when He has swallowed up death forever all His faithful friends will live FOREVER! Psalms 37:29

So keep following those faithless miscreants claiming scientists for no BENEFITS!

babajero:
1095-1291 or there about

babajero:
please which people killed Jesus?

Dtruthspeaker:
Actually, these people have been declared a fraud, unreliable and untrustworthy.

Kobojunkie:
Again... Wrong! The Bible is instead a compendium of books from different times and authors.
You claim I make mistakes about the bible yet not once have you been able to show definitive evidence, how come?
