Ikem11:
Ukrainian should hold their government account for this because Ukrainian government gambled with their lives

How?

PastorMIsBack:
When you eyes are open LordReed, you'll be enlightened

Ok o, I dey wait.

Quicksilver5:
if I make a device and program it to malfunction on the 20th of November 2022 and it does, I made a perfect creation, the fact that it malfunctioned doesn't mean it was not perfect, rather it's perfect because it served exactly the purpose it was intended for

Then you are angry and destroy the device you created to malfunction, what that say about you? Wasteful? Insane?

Sounds duplicitous to say you have been made perfect but still remain the flawed human being we all are.

PastorMIsBack:
Just to get out and about.
Take my son to football training/matches.
Go shopping.
I could take it to work instead of jumping on the tube etc.

Ok. You should check about electric, go green and all that. LoLz.

PastorMIsBack:
I don't know which one I'm getting yet - electric or petrol/diesel?
However, my kids are saying motorbikes are dangerous.
First my mum. Now my kids. Sigh.

There are diesel scooters? I didn't know that. Is your work far from home or why do you want the scooter?

PastorMIsBack:
I've always wanted one but my mum forbade me back then

However, I still want one. It's just for personal use to get me from A to Z. What do you think?

Is it electric?

Image123:
Difference is God is not an ATM machine where you press pin code and get what you want. He is God, He decides. He answers YES, NO, Not yet like the fellow said.

Then everybody gets their prayer answered by the god and the OP's assertion fails.

Mom007:
The op is not wrong. No is also an answer so if you ask God for something and He says 'NO' or NOT YET, He has answered you. It may not be the answer you desire, but its still an answer.

What then is the difference between no and the OP's assertion that people don't receive answers?

Funflipper:
That is a 62 million dollar question.

Apparently he does.

Mom007:
Sir, are you aware that NO! Is also an answer and it is well within God's discretion to deny us some requests if he sees that what we are asking of Him will not give him glory or is not the best for us or is not just the right time. The problem is that the only answer most people want to hear is yes , OK and delivered! God is not your personal genie that grants all your wishes, wants and desires.

But the OP answered yes.

Steep:
yes, but not always the way I expected.

Really? So I guess it means you haven't been praying for Nigeria or for us unbelievers to be saved.

Steep:
Prayer is an interaction with God, Jesus gave out a template on how prayers are to be made, this is called the Lord's prayer.
The following are some of the principles of prayer.

1. Prayer is to be addressed to the Father. Not that we cannot pray to Jesus, or address the holy Spirit but however it is not ideal, this is because there are roles and positions in the Trinity. The father is the primary source and father of us all including Jesus. Therefore prayers should be addressed to God the father not Jesus.

2 God should be addressed with absolute reverence and honor, our whole attention should be focused on the prayer, our language should be one of maximum honor and respect.

3. Our prayers should be kingdom centered not self centered to gratify our flesh remember he is the father of all spirits.

4. What we ask should be according to his will, not our lust .

5.prayers should be in the name of Jesus for this is our authority and right.

6. Avoid vain repetition, our words should be few.

7. Prayers of warfare of warfare and deliverance should be done in christ authority.

8. Don't demand for the death of any body, that alone can cancel your prayer.

9. Your spirit should be connected with the spirit of God, edify your spirit.

10. Praises and Thanksgiving should fill your heart instead of complaining and murmurings.

11. Ask what you need.

12 when praying listen to what the spirit is saying, after prayer expect what you have asked.

14. Dont tempt God. Like asking God for healing but ignore medical warning or refuse treatment, asking God for good result but you don't read, or knowing something is not right for you but asking God to give you anyway.

15. Some prayers actually need to be back up with fasting, some prayers need to be prayed prophetically, there are prayers we need to pray with other believers, that is why we must listen to the holy spirit ( I am going to write on how the holy spirit speak to us some day).

16. Infact before stating your request examine yourself to see if there is iniquity in you, ask for forgiveness and for the Lord to cleanse you and also you must have forgiven others also.
An unforgiven person cannot hope to get forgiveness but as Christians we forgive because christ has forgiven us.

Some Christians do not believe in asking God for the forgiveness of their sins because the scripture says God has already forgiven us.


While indeed we are forgiven of our sins in christ, however we still need to sanctify ourself and these require that we ask for forgiveness of our sins.

People do not get answers to their prayers because they pray wrongly.

So do you always get answers to your prayers?

PastorMIsBack:
It's just all a bit suz, that's all. I don't want to join the 'plandemic' people but you can't help but wonder

We live in a 24hr news world now, they must fill the hours with stuff, the more dramatic the better for them. Covid was the biggest news till it wasn't, that's how the cookie crumbles.

PastorMIsBack:
Lol. Surprisingly, Covid is no longer mentioned in the news. It's now Russia/Ukraine war.

But it was you asking when it would end, you don't want it to end anymore? LoLz.

elated177:
Actually, Reed, you don't.

Abeg make I hear word.

Dtruthspeaker:
Yep! There is no running away from him, as the times have shown.

They are going to have to face him and deal with him and withstand him and still remain blameless and unmoved in The Lord!

Good luck with that. LoLz.

Sarcastic101:
Luke 11:29
There'd be no evidence for you.atleast not now, that's why he created hell,if his creation won't convince us,his destruction will do the job

I'll take my chances.

Sarcastic101:
there's enough evidence, that you have no excuse, existence is enough,if you know how useless an athiest is to God you'd know why instead of him giving you evidence he keeps you blind read this verse:john 12:40

LoLz. It was you who asked what evidence would convince me. Well I guess this ends the conversation.

Sarcastic101:
you'd use this same phrase if the sun was made to stand still,you'd say"well this is natural and we should bring God into it,"
And I'd ask how so?
You'd say,"it's just happened'probably in a way we don't understand yet'"

That's why I had to just stick with your definition of supernatural. You said your god won't oblige but your god should know what would convince me wouldn't he?

Dtruthspeaker:
That is obviously what would take place ON JUDGEMENT DAY, as the prophecies did say AND NOT BEFORE.

And as I said earlier, did prophecies did infer and state that the rapture would take place BEFORE Judgement Day.

Ah OK. So people who are expecting to escape the "Anti-Christ" via Rapture are wrong?

petra1:
You have become Christian finish

I was a Christian.

Sarcastic101:
and I say that if the world sees such, our athiest scientists would say it's a natural occurrence that demands a natural explanation (which they're working on),they've said the same for every evidence, even if it'll convince you it wouldn't convince them,and about asking my God to do anything,
My God doesn't perform miracles to convert people,or make them believe
Miracles don't make people believe in God, people believe what they're willing to believe,the word of God is all he gave,
God has constructed the evidence in a way that Will be overwhelming to one who likes the idea of a God existing,or be overlooked by one who hates the idea of God existing ,if you read the bible you won't ever come across a place where someone asked God to perform a magic to convince people,God can't be ordered

You asked for the kind of evidence I would accept and I have told you, too bad if your god can't be obliged.

Sarcastic101:
the big bang marks the beginning of time,space and matter,
Please can anything exist independent of time space and matter?

Well probably in a way we can't understand yet.

OLAADEGBU:
You are in the best position to answer the question.

Well then it is the only way it makes sense to me. So back to the question why would what was depicted in your pix make me afraid?

Sarcastic101:
no matter how advanced we become, science cannot give us what happened before we were here,it can only give predictions, science can only determine definitely present happenings,we can't study matter to know what happened before matter came about,
Secondly what does this singularity consist of, where did it come from?,we know fully well that the proposition of an existing singularity before the big bang is a theory, there's nothing that scientists can trace the bang from other than a singularity,

That is what I said, we don't know what was before the big bang but it wasn't nothing. It doesn't even seem like nothing is a possible state

Dtruthspeaker:
No where in Mathew 24 and all the prophecies of world Tribulation says we were leaving the earth in the days preceding Judgement Day.

And yet the prophecies did speak of a wonderful phenomenon which people call "Rapture".

So it is either people See it or they don't.

But like all the other prophecies fulfilled, it too, is on ground.

And you evils are even the first to know it.

So Paul was wrong saying you guys would be caught up in the sky?
1 Thess 4
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

Sarcastic101:
Nothing is to much for him to do,he created a universe out of thing air, what's a football that he can't create a football out of thin air,
If you say that replicating the sun standing still is enough evidence,
Picture this,
Imagine he made the sun stand still tomorrow, and you told your athiest friends, wouldn't some say it's a hallucination,if you all saw it, wouldn't you sahe created the world and life out of nothing,a football is to small , however if he made the sun stand still wouldn't you tell yourself that it's a hallucination,or wouldn't you say that it's a phenomenon that can be explained naturally and doesn't need us to invoke God into it?,if the creation of life, existence,the planet,and all other form of organisations couldn't convince you, would a standing sun convince you?, would it convince other staunch athiests?, wouldn't it be said that there's an explanation for it but it's definitely not God?

Pointing to the universe as evidence for a god won't convince me because just like me you don't have any details other than we both agree that the universe exists.

On the otherhand I can accept the sun standing still because such an experience will not be subjective, contrary to your scenario were you say people won't believe me, the sun standing still will be a phenomenon all the world will see and be able to record. So when can you ask your god to do it?

Kobojunkie:
And this view of yours changes any of what I stated so far in this discussion how?

Spare me the useless tidbits from now on please.

LoL! Gotta love how pointing out facts triggers y'all. Na men, I will be here to call out misinformation wherever I see it.

petra1:
You won't belive. It only happens to those who belive . Shey apostle Suleiman did miracle money .he came under fire

Was it videod? Share the link if it was.

Sarcastic101:
Incorrect,there was simply nothing before the big bang,no thing,it was the start of time space and matter, there's is nothing that can be known about what happened before the big bang,as it is incomprehensible,it's like trying to know where you where before you we're born,
As to your question,any thing that happens which isn't natural is supernatural, diseases are natural so it can't be supernatural, however, someone rising from the dead is supernatural as no natural explanation can be given for such,a talking donkey is supernatural as no explanation can be given for such,also, creating a football out of. Nothing is supernatural,as no natural explanation can be given for such.
In essence, anything that we refer to as impossible but it actually happened is supernatural,we shouldn't take a disease to be supernatural because it's a disease,and diseases are natural,but is it a coincidence that almost all diseases that can be cured are cured by drugs,produced from raw materials that God created,no scientist ever created a drug out of nothing but already available raw material,and the fact that these drugs are specific in action shows that it didn't come about by chance,but we're created for those purposes, however to an inquiring mind,a planet that balances itself all by itself,with various laws,and regular occurrences would not be taken as a mere occurrence, there's no single machine that created itself,and we shouldn't for other desires deny that there's an intelligent being behind everything here,
Another question for you is that,if there's no God,then why is there something instead of nothing,why is there life, matter, existence if there's nothing out there?

You are incorrect, look up initial singularity, start here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_singularity#:~:text=The%20initial%20singularity%20is%20a,and%20spacetime%20of%20the%20Universe. There was something before the big bang. That that something can't be described right now due to limitations of our scientific knowledge doesn't make it nothing.

Let's leave the question alone for now because I don't think you can answer it to my satisfaction. Lemme just work with your definition and the example you gave would be a wonderful example of a demonstration of this supernatural. Can your god create a football out of thin air? How about replicating the sun standing still? I would take any of these or similar as evidence.

Dtruthspeaker:
That is the secret.



The rapture has started since and has is already taken place.

This is time to see, if you God hath indeed given you sight.

It is even very very obvious, but as usual with people, like Elisha's servant, they never See.

Really? So why are you still on earth? Jesus no gree carry you? LoLz.
