aManFromMars: Omg, u use answers in genesis. ![]() What's wrong with answers in genesis? Stop using God to express disgust. |
Ajibam: really?? ![]() |
[quote author=Area_boy]how can you say "Lets go down the pages of history" and then you quote a bible verse ![]() what part of the bible is not a history book do you not understand? [/quote]The bible records mans history too. Including his origins and the greatest and singularly the most powerful event that has ever occurred since time began. And the bible also tells us the future, as its prophecies have been, and are being fulfilled before our very eyes. |
Bidam: Why don't you accept the answers,they proffer? Why reject them since they are logically conclusive?exactly the question I was about to ask. rationalmind: what logically conclusive answer can you give to how a fish swallowed jonah and vommitted him after three days? What logically conclusive answer can you give to fence that was destroyed through singing? What logically conclusive answer can you give to noah putting millions of species of animals and insects in his 300 by 50 by 30 ark?You should be smart enough to know that the millions of species we have now were not that many then due to years of adaptation. And you should realize that he put the animals in in pairs of 2 or 7. |
LightningLord: When did I call you irredimably daft?? Surely you should know if it were me trying to get that point across, it would be something much more accurate, eg the average toaster appears more intelligent than you. It at least does something right; toast bread.violent homosexuality, gross immorality, wickedness, like the archaeological findings in ninevah, historical evidences of child sacrifes, (they sacrificed their children to molech.) cultic prostitition and much more. You even overlook the patience of God in dealing with this peopla and trying to warn them to repent. Such as God did to the amalekites. He warned amalek for 400 years because they kept trying to commit genocide against israel. Before he passed judgement on them through saul and the israeli army. God warned the ninevites too, and they repented and avoided judgement. LightningLord: What does this have to do with omnixx.xx? What is wrong with you??read the post above. the people of nineveh avoided their impending doom. Even people of current earth are given a chance to avoid the impending doom of Gods wrath, but of course, most refuse and cloud their sins in lofty words and stupid arguments, like you do now. LightningLord: And preaching does not involve self-righteousness?? WTF is wrong with you?ignorance of Gods word is very evident in this post. LightningLord: What nonsense is this? What's hard to understand about eternity? Again, what's wrong with you?a man must pay and reap the rewards of his deeds done on earth in the never ending afterlife. LightningLord: Erm, yes....those folks are ignorant of Gods ways like you, and they choose to take advantage of their ignorance to wallow in sin and mock God further. LightningLord: So are those who "care about their eternal wellbeing", in your words, "proud windbag"? At last, something we may perhaps agree on.read the post in context and stop making hasty conclusions. |
ARareGem: Good morning, Josh. Hw's the ministry?good morning ma'am. God is blessing us. Have a nice day. Keep walking in Gods word. |
Infomizer: Thanks ^^^ for your sensible input. Someone had to bring reason to the table.you're showing your ignorance and lack of discerning of the bible and enforcing the fact that it must be spiritually discerned. |
Bidam: Wrong interpretation of that verse and of God.very insightful sir, especially the bolded. What is the root of evil which still spreads till date? |
mazaje: When slavery was acceptable your god was busy encouraging it , eh?. . .Why will a god not know that slavery is bad?which kind of question is this? Its in these modern times of brutality and terrible racism that slavery was stopped because of the brutality always connected to it. In old times. Slaves were called bond servants. Slavery was not bad, it was normal. And the slaves among the people of God were not allowed to be mistreated or brutalized. God even warned them that he heard the cries of foreigners who were illtreated in their midst, and that he would move to defend them. |
Bidam: @Josh, most of these guys rely on human logic for an argument.INFACT majority of their queries have been answered in this forum by Mr.Anony, Ihedinobi,stryklymi,davidylan to mention a few.You might want to check their profile topics so as to know what to expect from these guys.thank you sir. I always like to preach "Jesus saves from sin" I believe that's the message. I've come from scientific and even philosophical standpoints. If they don't enjoy the gospel, they might as well ignore it and stop hounding. |
Let's go down the pages of history. So God created man in his own image. Meaning God created man with freewill. This is the plan that has gone on through the ages. The plan of salvation. Well, God made man, and man sinned. According to the bible. For those interested, mans sin was not necessarily in eating the fruit, it was in disobeying God. Man knew that the moment he ate that fruit, he'd die, but he choose to doubt Gods word and believe in the devils lie, like many proudly do today. But you see, just because man sinned didn't mean God stopped loving him, he immediately set up the way of salvation for those who choose to endear themselves to him, and not remain his enemy. Genesis 3: ...Her offspring will crush your head, and you will bite her offspring's heel.” You see, God immediately spoke of mans salvation as he even pronounced judgement on mans sin. We go down in history and see scripture fulfilled. We see men abandoning the truth of God for wicked works and idolatry, and God choosing to reveal himself to the world through a nation because of a promise to a man: Abraham. Then we see God permitting man to try to justify himself through righteous acts, and we see man failing. Then we see God choosing to justify man through Jesus Christ. Throughout history, from the beginning to the end, its all been about Jesus Christ. Gods salvation. Gods mercy. Gods love. This articulate plan took thousands of years to be put through. Wise men foresaw this day of Jesus' salvation, and they spoke of Gods promise to the world. Gods promise of making all things new and good. Of forgiving sin and reconciling all things to himself. Men who yearned for righteousness trusted God, and it was imputed to them. The moment Jesus came and died and resurrected, the time he gave salvation, the time he gave revelation of judgement and a new world. The gospel was ended. The revelation of the mysterious divine plan was finished with Christ. Yes. We've been running on extra time ever since. Now, we see scripture fulfilled before our very eyes. So what is our priority in this world as christians? To preach the gospel. To preach the good news of hope and faith and reunion with God. The next itinery on hand is judgement. So preach children of God, and get deeper with Gods knowledge, showing the world Gods love and power in life. Let us rejoice and say To God be the glory Great things he has done So loved he the world that he gave us his son Who yielded his life as atonement for sin And opened the life gates that all may go in Praise the lord! Praise the lord! Let the earth hear his voice Praise the lord! Praise the lord! LET THE PEOPLE REJOICE! (Hallelujah) O COME TO THE FATHER THROUGH JESUS THE SON AND GIVE HIM THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE This is the gospel of Christ, the mysterious plan of God revealed. We rejoice with great joy, because we have been saved from sin. We are now part of the family of God. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of the lord. Let us walk in the reality of Gods word. Never giving up. Preaching to the lost the authentic gospel. |
Logicboy03: no...I missed road ![]() |
NoProphecy: So owning human beings was ok? Would it be OK to own human beings today if we do not treat them poorly? This is BS. Quit making up excuses for those evil, backwards savages. If you think that slavery is ever OK, I vomit for you.Owning human beings in those days was quite normal. And God gave rules on how to treat them. Stop trying to justify your unrepentant and biased beliefs and claims. |
mazaje: Which absolute truth are you talking about?. . .The one that told you that all humans came from one man or the one that told you that some mythical god construct killed himself to save humans from himself?. . .You are too deluded for anyone to take you seriously. . .There are many christians that know what they are talking about but am sorry you are not one of them. . .could you leave me alone then? I'm sure I'm not that important to you guys. I'm not interested In empty arguments that do no good because I seem to know what I'm talking about I expect you to completely ignore me from now onwards. Why would you try to keep reasoning with a deluded person? Let me preach the message to those who need it. And let us see if the message will die or not. I will correct the misconceptions of honest people who have not made themselves unrepentant enemies of God through dead works. |
Nkpume Iko: Erm Josh... ![]() Central setting? You mean like the situation of the story? I'll try to bring about a central setting, but seriously, I've been making up the locations. |
I was coming from work when I first saw Man. He was a street preacher. I had stayed late after work, talking to lily and doing some research. Today was one of my good days. So I decided to take the long drive through bishops avenue to get some fresh air. And my already bald tire gave up the ghost. The last time I had changed the tires was while preparing for a road trip with my family. I didn't want to awaken memories. Damn My car had stopped in the wrong neighbourhood. I was at the open square in hamingtons. There was a crowd gathered there. I wondered what was going on. So I left my car and went to look. Some thugs were harrasing a man. "Hey man, this here is our neighbourhood" the first thug said. "And to do business here, you gotta pay rent" the second spoke up. "Yeah. We own this turf" the first one said. The man looked at them. "Now guys, I'm just a preacher. I just wanna preach the good news. I won't hurt nobody. I just need a little time and I'll go away" Man said. "The only thing I wanna hear you preaching is my money"! Thug 1 barked. why does the foolish man remain where he is? He's about to get creamed "I'm not here to disrupt your activities," man shouted to the crowd "I'm here to give you the best bargain you've ever..." "Shut up!!" "Give us your money or we beat the crap outta you!" Man suddenly turned to them and looked at them intently. They stepped back. There was something about this man. "I don't owe you no money men, I'm a harmless man like you" The thugs staggered backwards and angrily walked outta the scene. "Yes! I'm a harmless man like you, who owes no one anything except this one thing!" Man shouted into the crowd. "I've got ahold of something you see, a great bargain! The best bargain anyone can come across in his life! And I've left my comfort zone to present this bargain to you!" "You can call me Man, because I came to talk about a man"..... And so Man preached. Something about the power of his words held me and convicted me. But Man began to speak of death and life, and I remembered my lost family, and lily, and I was filled with anger, and I abandoned my car and walked away. Lily. I had been thinking more of her lately. Her pain was becoming more intense. She was in that state of stupor most of the day. I could hardly make out what she said. She began to lose hope and will to live, like me. She began to die. Three times I had stolen funds from my department for research on lilys rare condition. I had covered my tracks well. But I could not help think sometimes that I was going too far. Stealing funds meant for meaningful research, not futile ones like the one I was pursuing. I still had nightmares. In one of them, lily died, and I took a knife and was about to commit suicide. I was hearing voices "Do it" the voices said "Death isn't so bad, when you die, you'll be free from all your grief and sorrow" I slit my own throat. And I woke up gasping for air and clutching my throat. For some time, I couldn't breathe, then I found my lungs and gasped. And I cried. I cried for lily. I was at the end of my strings. Then I made a plea to the unknown "God! If you're there help me! "help me God! I've tried and tried, I can't do anything! God cannot help you. He didn't even help your Claire and david and you expect him to help? I cried myself to sleep. The next morning I saw Man during ward rounds. I saw his real name was Williams Mann. I saw he was my new Head of department. Was this a coincidence? Or was something strange happening? He walked up to me... |
One other problem is that when one knows the reality of absolute truth, he recognizes the problem and lie of false perceptions of truth. |
aManFromMars: God na.God? I thought you said he doesn't exist? |

You would insult God by telling him to come to you on your terms? Think about it. Who do you think God is? Would you have an image of an all powerful God? If you do, you telling him to come to you on your terms and giving him conditions is pride of the highest order Anyone can get to God, the gate is open for all. God has his own conditions. Here they are: Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. If you want to know God, you must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently seeks him. That is the basic requirement for those who want to know God. They must humbly seek him. God resists the proud. He gives grace to the humble But you see, most times, we don't normally search for God. He, in his mercy, searches for us. He reaches out to us by his power and grace, and changes those who believe in him. So oga folykaze. If you wanna know God, go humbly, believing that he is, seek him diligently and you will find him. Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If you decide to seek God today, he will truly reveal himself to you if you seek him diligently. You will surely find him and know him through Christ Jesus if you look for him with all your heart. Go by his terms. God bless anyone who decides to open himself to Gods reality today. |
mazaje: You know your god is imaginary and can't do anything so the best you can do is intimidate people with the myth of the after life, you know that nothing will happen to them so you use what you know nothing about to scare yourself. . .You are deluded. . .no. I know that my God is real and he has given an appointed time to judge in these days. I know that he is merciful and wants people to repent of their evil deeds. I will come back to reply you effectively with a thread. |
