Hismasterpiece: God doesn't want anybody to go there... besides the place wasn't even created for humans, but humans by their rebellion forced God to start sending humans there.
You make it seem as if God is unjustly tormenting people in hell, but that isn't how the Bible teaches it. Everyone in hell deserves to be there. God is Holy, and being as Holy as He is, it only makes sense that He has the attitude towards sin that He does.
And don't forget the type of people that God sends there. Evil people by His standards are the ones He sends there.
If you steal because you and your family are starving you end up in hell, eternal torment for your helplessness. What a puerile concept. There is no way to white wash it, anytime you mention hell you are showing just how demented the god concept is.
pakirisuitesphc: Dear brothers and sisters,[a] if I should come to you speaking in an unknown language,[b] how would that help you? But if I bring you a revelation or some special knowledge or prophecy or teaching, that will be helpful. Most pentecostal Christians can open their mouths and speak in tongues but you hardly see those who can interprete among them. Please I want Christians in the house to contribute and no derogatory contribution please. If nobody can interpret, how are they sure they are speaking to God or passing meaningful messages.
That is because speaking in tongues or glossolalia is not a spiritual gift, it's just something we humans can do, like a baby trying to talk and forming syllables from what it has heard around it. There is nothing to interpret.
Hismasterpiece: Is that all i told you? What about the part where i said He is willing to forgive the repentant and accept them into His kingdom?
That Hitler loved his wife doesn't make him any less the monster he was. If your god concept includes eternal torture then it is a nasty concept despite what you think of as redemption.
TenQ: Let's assume my mind tricks me into believing that I am casting out demons, is the mind of the demonized ALSO tricking him?
Does the mind of the demonized make them cook up fantastic stories about their lives and speak in third person to themselves?
Yes. I have undergone what I tricked myself into calling deliverance. I read a horror novel were the antagonist was possessed by spirits and began to do strange things, I was a kid then and very susceptible so when I was told that reading such novels would cause me to be possessed I began to feel like I was indeed possessed. Of course it was all my imagination to the extent that when I was being prayed for I acted out the possession even when I clearly knew I was acting but I had tricked myself into accepting that this was how it was supposed to happen. LoL gosh when I remember those days I feel like slapping my younger self.
I once shared your disbelief too until I had a personal encounter with a victim.
A lady. Pretty, down to earth. Someone you would want to have a conversation or two with.
We've been sharing same office space for months until one day.
It was a normal day, I had gone out to get call card and slid behind my desk to continue my work. Sure I was working on a report.
Few minutes into that period, I saw her stood from her seat and walked straight towards the corridor.
What caught my attention was the manner in which she stood. I followed within a considerable distance. She seems to be under the influence of something I couldn't place as at then.
I saw her walked towards the office of the Commander and when she was stopped, it was a hell of drama.
She seized the PA by the collar and almost choked him. The PA, a well built man was no match for this lady. She seems to have possessed the power of ten.
Her eye balls increased, the shape of a small sized egg, slightly red too.
In less than two minutes, guys within the complex had quickly mobilized to free the PA from the grip of this lady. The Commander heard the noise and came out too.
It took 5 hefty men to subdue this lady.
She later regained consciousness and quietly went back to her corner. It was like nothing happened.
We were asked not to talk to get about it.
She was advised to go for "home treatment" as medical treatment won't be an option.
But in the midst of all of these, I was still so much inquisitive as to the reason for this kind of thing.
At that period, she had this guy as her boyfriend. Let's call him Raph.
I was in the office when I got a gist that Raph has been hospitalized. The story behind his admission looks sketchy though.
Heard he was gbenshing (you should be used to this word already�) and a force picked him from the lady and hit him hard on the floor. He was hit severally until a next door neighbor came in.
My inquisitive mind led me to the medical center where I met Raph. He had his head rolled up in bandage, lips swollen.
As paddy na. He told me everything that happened and it tallied with what I heard.
Seeing him as a huge guy...
"why you no drag with the person na"
He took a long look at me "haba Kola, drag with person wey I no see? E just be like say na 20 people hol me tight use me dey stone ground.."
He sighs
"na God save me o.."
Wishing him all the best, I left him with a promise to check him sometimes later.
I spoke with an elderly man, way older than me and I narrated this to him.
He looked at me, shook his head.
"Aljani" he started.
He went further to explain to me, that Aljani can possess a lady through her hair if left uncovered, due to her exposive dress style and several means.
That the Aljani stays as long as possible and it is the origin of the so called "spiritual husband."
I thanked him and left.
I felt a sharp pain right on my temple.
Life.
There are several things that are mysterious to the human mind to accept. I couldn't just wrap my head around that happening.
My thought drifted back to Raph. Bro swore never to go back to that lady.
So many things around us. Many things that beats our explanation.

While in general the world is still relatively ignorant about mental health, in our neck of the woods we are in the dark ages. This lady probably has psychotic episodes and would probably benefit from having treatment, instead she will be subject to vain superstitions of spirits and what not. She probably won't get better but instead be carried from one prayer house to another.
Dtruthspeaker: First, I am not hoping, it is already a certainty, I just want it to come faster for I can not endure the abundance evils and olodoism most especially as people do not care to Know nor Live.
So since they want to die tomorrow, they can as well die today.
Secondly, I want "Just is" Served especially as people like SatanReed, Workch, FOj have been insulting Him since.
I can't wait for Arrests and Trial to take place.
If wishes were horses beggers will still be shit outta luck. This is your sorry case. LMAO!

Says the guy following memes on the Internet. You are more pliable than a solider under orders. You guys are the zombies if you don't know know it now.
Image123: Not at all, i have read the Bible for decades and i have never been instructed, motivated or inspired by it to kill my family members or anyone. In your little adventure as a Christian, were you ever thus led? You don't seem to know what you really want.
Au contraire, I know exactly what I want, which is to show you you have a better moral sense than your god. You would tell any god foolish enough to tell you kill your child or any child to Bleep off. Talk less of ordering you to kill children enmass.
Richwallet: Well if making medicine to alter immune systems has gone terribly wrong and reserved people to no immunity. What happens when they make pharmicetical nonsense to alter people's Neuro parts of the brain?
You have been watching too much Resident Evil. Medicine doesn't work that way, zombies are not going to form by any means. We have been tinkering with the brain for over a century now and there is no indication that that is a possibility. Not even close.
Richwallet: They have identified parts of the brain dealing with faith and it's larger in monotheistic believers. People who worship only the creator have passed own this genetic adaptation to their offspring. Things and practices held by forefathers pass unto their offspring. The Bible speaks of bloodline not skin color being the determination factor in behavior. Pagans who commit human sacrifice pass on this behavior to their offspring, insanity could pop up anywhere in their descendants. Emperor Nero was a insane homosexual because his forefathers were Pan sexual human sacrificers. Christ has a bloodline and the Devil has a bloodline. Part of the vaccine is aimed at changing the brain which will cause zombies.
Well, there it is. If we are to believe this money crabber pastor, Jesus is perhaps seeking donations to charter a space craft from heaven to earth .
My question is ; You mean the evangelical money-center churches and their pastor have not been remitting enough tithes and other funds to heaven?
You just dey come? Jesse Duplantis is looking for his next jet to use to preach the gospel. Abeg don't hinder his faith o! The god personally told him he needs to believe god for a bigger jet.
geoworldedu: I am wondering if God of the bible is naked or not. Does he wear cloth like humans? If he does, why? If he doesn't wear cloth, why?
Remember, according to the bible, God can to all things so he should have made the harsh sun to turn to AC on his body so he doesn't need cloth.
But if he goes about nakked, it means he isn't civilised yet. Meaning if we see him we will take him for a mad man and find how to book a room for him in the psychiatric hospital.
If he wears cloth, why? Must he behave like human beings? What is he hiding, is it his priick? How long is it sef?. Why is he hiding it, is he afraid of falling into temptation of fornication?
Pls if you can answer I will appreciate. Thanks.
Of course he wears cloth, his ding-dong will blind the universe otherwise. That's why he said you can't see me and live and when he passed Moses he only showed Moses his nyansh so that Moses won't go blind.
FahBuLous: Mine was the "If I swallow a seed of orange, it will grow on my head" Mehn the day I swallowed a seed of orange mistakenly, I cried for 5 hours straight
Share yours..
This was the purpose of superstitions, to make people desist from doing certain things. Some of us don't out grow them and continue to believe them as adults.
The examples are not all Christians unless you believe those who were not Christians should not be models for Christians in which case use only the NT henceforth.
Image123: You have a good idea on the Bible's position on such, it doesn't happen. The Bible is not ambiguous on such as for you to ask the question.
It is precisely because the Bible has such examples that people can claim such and here we have you saying if the god approves killing children is good.
Dtruthspeaker: Because you are too evil and blind to see yourself, so maybe you if you see what happens to lesser things, you would see what happens to you and what must happen to you, whether you like it or not!
You are a stupid doofus so your examples are continually stupid and irrelevant.
donnie: If they are ever able to pass such a draconian law, they will be challenged...that's for sure. They will be forced to defend all their inflated number of infections and deaths they show on national TV.
It is mandatory to have yellow fever vaccination if you want to travel to South Africa I haven't heard you or any of your brothers challenging that, it's this one you want to test your strength on. LoL
We did not have available technololgy and quantum physics as advanced as we have it today. Also, men had not invented and deployed such wickedness as we have today. However, if we are to go further back in time to thousands of years, during the Summerian civilization, and even during the time or Noah, we had such an invasion as we are having today; with the mixing and manipulating of blood, genes, peoples etc with extra terrestrials. Now they again want to make it official. It's the same Lucifer, corrupting the pure seed of men.
We did not have vaccine technology when you were born, are you 200 years old? LMAO! Men have been culturing all manner of microorganisms for more than a century now but it is now they want to kill you. They were too powerless to kill you as an infant now they have more power to kill a fully grown discerning adult.
Dtruthspeaker: Even your housegirl, fellow iPhone like you, that is suffering in your house, you do not care for, is it now the suffering of your phone in your hand?
You have nothing reasonable to say joor!
Do you ever have any anything reasonable to say yourself except dumb stuff. Just look at the rubbish you just spit out now as if you know me or the conditions in which I live. Your only recourse is to equate humans to inanimate objects like the dummy you are.
Dtruthspeaker: That's why we all are waiting for The Day He Convenes His Own Court to deal with all these matters and Punish those who broke The Law and did the evil and the wrong!
You can standby and wait, I will join the community of those who resist nastiness done in the name of a god.
Dtruthspeaker: Like Steve Jobs killing all his iPhones!
No one complains about it and no one has a right to.
They are His!
When iphones start to suffer like human beings or when they acquire life lemme know. Also when Steve Jobs wakes up from death and has decided he wants to kill all sentient iPhones we can have a discussion, till then you just gave a false analogy.
