kingkaspa:alright. So please stop misinterpreting the christian faith. Ask questions what you do not know, if I cannot answer , some of my christians brethren may answer. Peace! |
malvisguy212: |
ifeness:what do you call "help people" to insult them and their belief is what you call help ? You must be joking. Go and removed the beem in your eyes so that you will see clearly to removed others people own. Peace!! |
kingkaspa:are you a christian? Can you give me one verse from the bible were God forbid us to ask questions, we should just believe God did it without asking? |
trash!!! The op misunderstood the christian faith. Because faith is sometimes described as believing in things that cannot be seen, does it mean a christian cannot ask questions? Are you not a former christian? How did you arrived at this stage of your belief? You are not qualified to interpret the bible talkless of faith. God tells us that we are to love Him with more than our heart. We are to have a relationship that is emotional and intellectual: Matthew 22:37-38 "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your MIND. This is the great and foremost commandment." When we examine our world and the evidence for the existence of God, we are worshipping God with our mind and this kind of worship pleases God.it is either we worship him with our mind or NOT. Christians Are Called to Examine Their Beliefs. God wants us to know what we believe and why we believe it. We’re not called to numbly trust everything that might be taught in our world today,even if some Christian teacher is the source! We’re expected to be critical, skeptical and thoughtful: 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances. But EXAMINE EVERYTHING CAREFULLY; hold fast to that which is good… 1 John 4:1 Beloved, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT BUT TEST THE SPIRIT to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Skepticism is important to the Christian faith; skepticism causes us to examine what we believe and search for the evidence that confirms our beliefs. God honors this kind of skepticism because He knows that it leads to a deeper faith in Him. Christians Are Called to be Convinced of What They Believe God wants us to be certain and base our certainty on evidence that can be articulated to others who may have doubts: Romans 14:5 Let each man be FULLY CONVINCED IN HIS OWN MIND. Conviction is the result of certainty, and certainty is the result of evidential confidence. We are called to be convinced by mastering the evidence that supports what we believe. The Christians life is not one of "wishful thinking"or"hope in the unreasonable". It is a life of certainty, grounded in the evidence. Conclusions Christians can be "case makers" precisely because the Christian faith is an evidential faith. When we, as Christians, argue for the truth of the Christian Worldview, we are not sharing an opinion. There either is a God, or there is not. Jesus is that God, or He is not. Salvation comes through Christ alone (as Jesus Himself maintained), or it does not. This is not a matter of opinion, personal preference or wishful thinking. The Christian faith is grounded in evidence that can be assessed and evaluated. The Christian faith is an evidential faith. I want to ask you a questions but I remember you're not an evolutionist |
ifeness:you are full of anger and bitterness, the Name 'God' is making you uncomfortable, whenever someone mention God, you rush to coment just to insult him and blasphemy the name of God. What the point in arguing with a FOOL who say God does not exist but he claims, God commit genocide, a foolish atheist indeed. @op . Let start like this. Give me one verse were God kill innocent people. |
teemy:God bless you my brother. Cc: Seun, Lalasticala |
bytemeister:trading or not, the fact that they are into farming and the other one sherperd, proved my point. |
hilario8898:the bible does not specifically say it only cain and abel was the son of adam,. Although Cain does seem to be the firstborn, the text is not clear that Abel was the second born, but only that he was the second son. Later, the narrative indicates that Adam and Eve produced "other sons and daughters." So, it is possible that Adam and Eve produced daughters between the births of Cain and Abel. It is also likely that others sons and daughters were produced after the birth of Abel. We don't know how old Cain and Abel were when Cain murdered his brother, but they seem to be at least young adults, since they are both engage in a trade. for their living. Although the period of time between the birth of Cain and the death of Abel is not given in the Bible, it would seem that this period was probably over 100 years, since the birth of Adam's next son, Seth is said to have occurred when Adam was 130 years old. Adam and Eve could have produced many daughters during that period of time. It is possible cain would have marry one of this sister. All of these events happened before the law was given. According to the Apostle Paul,when there is no law, there can be no violation of the law or sin. Romans 4:15 for the Law brings about wrath,but where there is no law, there also is no violation. Romans 5:13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. So, since the law against incest was not given until thousands of years later, there was no theological problem with Cain marrying his sister. |
teemy:nice one brother. Many times you will see some detractor bring out a list of so-called contradictions. There are many online and some are quite long. All go to great lengths to try and prove that the Bible is filled with errors. However, if one is looking at these passages objectively, you will find it is the list maker who is being dishonest in his approach. That's because they have chosen to ignore the context in which the statement. You see,CONTEXT is really the thing that determines what the speaker is trying to convey for any passage. If I were to say "I missed my family today" you may assume that I meant I felt a longing to be with my family when I couldn't. However, if I put the sentence in this context: "I missed my family.It looks like they left five minutes before I arrived." then the meaning of the statement changes dramatically. Finally, if the context is "We had a great time at the picnic. I hit all my friends with water balloons. I missed my family." then we have another meaning. Let's extend this idea to two statements. If I were to tell a co-worker on Monday "I had some good family time at the picnic", then later tell someone else "I missed my family" you might think this is a contradiction, but since the context for the second sentence may be understood in a different manner, you can quickly see that the contradiction doesn't exist. Most of the contradiction fell into this error,the critics ignore the LARGE context. You CANNOT explained the whole context with just ONE VERSE. "The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was not written by good men, because good men would not tell lies by saying ‘Thus saith the Lord;’ it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin,and themselves to hell; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration” |
plappville:my post do not say half god and half man. there can NEVER be half god and half man. I say FULLY GOD and FULLY MAN. Jeremiah 23:5-6 'The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness. The Messiah is given the name of God alone. YHWH Now. I want you to take a close look at this verse: Micah 5:2 But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from ANCIENT DAYS . In regards to the Messiah’s HUMAN origin He is said to have been born in Bethlehem(in a specific period of TIME) , but regarding His DIVINE origin He is said to be ‘from old, from ANCIENT DAYS .’meaning the messiah has no BEGINNING. In Micah 5:2 ‘The Hebrew for ‘from long ago,from the days of eternity’ are the strongest Hebrew words ever used for eternity past. They are used of God the Father in Psalm 90:2 There are many reason Jesus do not say the word 'I am God' do you expect Jesus to tell the Jews (who sees Him as human) I am God? The Jews will arrest him for blasphemy, infact that was the reason Jesus was crucify. ONE thing for sure, Jesus do not deny being called God. Infact Jesus even bless peter for calling him God. |
tartar9 am not surprise, you are in support of the amalikites who are idol worshipers (maby it is because islam is paganism) The Amalekites attacked the Israelites without apparent provocation as they were traveling during the Exodus ( Ex 17: . "When you were weary and wornout, they met you on your journey and cut off all who were lagging behind" ( Dt 25:17-18). They later attacked Israel during the time of the Judges (Jdg 3:13) and often raided the Israelites' land after they had planted crops, leaving them with nothing ( Jdg 6:2-5). God punished the Amalekites by ordering Saul to destroy them ( 1 Sam 15:2-3) - over 300 years after they had first attacked Israel. During that time, the Amalekites had contact with the Israelites and would have heard about God. They could have repented and changed their ways, but they continued to raid and plunder other cities up to the time of Saul and David (1 Sam 30:1-3). The Amalekites that Saul and David warred against were clearly no better than their ancestors who had first waylaid Israel. |
tartar9:instead of you to reply the op, you are saying different things here, I've already debunk this claims before. Here is my reply . in number 31. the Midianites were descendants of Abraham through Keturah, and by the time of Numbers 31, were a ‘tribal league’ of different clans and families. The midianites were corrupted and they are seducing isreal to worship others gods: Numbers 25:1-3 1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in se*xual immorality with MOABITE WOMEN,2 who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate and bowed down before these gods. 3 So ISREAL JOINED IN WORSHIPPING the Baal of Peor. And the LORD's anger burned against them. You see, the isrealite were having se*xual intercourse with the moabite women ,and this women are baal worshippers , because God had promise an everlasting covenant with Abraham, so he want to preserve the midianites , hence He save the virgin, infacte this virgin had to wait outside isreal for purification: Number31:19 19 And all of you who have killed anyone or touched a dead body must stay outside the camp for seven days. You must PURIFY YOURSELVES and your CAPTIVES on the third and seventh days. And in number 25:17-18. It state why God oder the killing: The LORD said to Moses, 17 “Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them, 18 because they treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the affair of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of Peor.” The reasons are stated in this passage as: (1)hostilities taken by the Midianites; and (2) deception of Israel by them, in the ‘affair of Peor’. So God preserve the virgins so that the midianites will not be wipe out, for they are among the descendant of Abraham. |
Nina4u:you are right, that is why the quran never give the geanology of muhammed. |
modelmike7:surah 29:27 And We gave (Abraham) Isaac and Jacob, and ordained among his progeny Prophethood and Revelation, and We granted him his reward in this life; and he was in the Hereafter (of the company) of the Righteous. This verse disqualified muhammed as a prophet.Isaac is the son of Abraham and that the prohethood and revelation was ordained through him and his decendants only. Why didn't Mohammad or Allah include Ishmael as well in this verse since Muslims claim he is also a prophet/messenger. |
I created a thread like this and the mod deleted it (the root cause of Islamic terrorism) The bombers and terrorist were victims long before they even carried out their evil plan. They were victims of an evil ideology indoctrinated into them. Therefore, any terrorism prevention effort must be based first and foremost on a clear understanding of what motivates them to carry this evil acts. It is futile to treat the symptom and not the disease. If you cannot even name your enemy,how can you defeat it? Does Islam have anything to do with terrorism? More specifically , is the Qur’an in anyway responsible for the Terrorism? It is time to stop deceiving ourselves. It is time to name the ENEMY. To win the war against terrorism, it is crucial to identify the foe. In Islam, it is not how one lives that guarantees salvation, but how one dies. Dying while fighting the infidels in the cause of Allah is the only sure way for Muslims to reserve a special place of honor in Allah’s Paradise. While it is true. Surah 2:207: And there is the type of man who GIVES HIS LIFE TO EARN THE PLEASURE OF Allah: And Allah is full of kindness to (His) devotees. (Yusuf Ali) Surah 4:74: Therefore, let those FIGHT IN THE WAY OF Allah, WHO SELL THIS WORLD'S LIFE FOR THE HEREAFTER; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward. (Shakir) Surah 9:111: “Allah hath PURCHASE OF THE BELIEVERS THEIR PERSON AND THEIR GOODS ; FOR THEIR (IN RETURN) IS THE GARDEN (OF PARADISE): THEY FIGHT IN HIS CAUSE , AND SLAY AND ARE SLAIN: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.” (Yusuf Ali) Surah 17:33: “And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right.” (U. Muhammad) The above Qur’anic verse (Surah 17:33) is an important verse for suicide bombers, not only to justify their own deaths, but also to justify the killing of other Muslims who may inadvertently become victims of casualties in the process. Since the goal of Muslims is to defeat the infidels (kafirs) at all cost and establish the “right of Islamic rule,” they believe that the end justifies the means. The purpose of these suicide bombers is not just to kill themselves but to kill the enemies of Islam. In the mathematics of Islamic terror, the most effective way to kill as many of their enemies is to execute it in this diabolical way. Their own death is accepted as a necessary sacrifice. The suicide bombers believe that they are rewarded, not for simply dying, but for dying as a means for killing. They are honored as martyrs because they died in the fight against the infidels and enemies of Islam. |
https://www.nairaland.com/1999485/all-religions-lead-god-one Agnostics often fall into two camps, those who believe that all religions can lead to God or those who believe that true religion cannot be discerned. This page examines both positions in an attempt to determine where the truth may lie. Logically, there are several possibilities. Atheists would say that no religion leads to God, since He doesn't exist. It is possible that one,several or all religions lead to God. ALL WAYS LEAD TO GOD: There are hundreds of religions in the world today, and many ancient religions that are no longer practiced. It is possible, and perhaps likely, that all religions contain some truth and/or good moral advice. However, in examining religious teaching, it is important to examine the fundamental beliefs of each religion and compare those to each other. When this is done,it is apparent that primary religious teachings contradict each other.Judaism says that the Messiah is coming, Christianity says that He has come, and Islam says that Mohammad provided all the information necessary for religious life. Obviously,these truth claims cannot be simultaneously true, since they contradict each other. Logically, we must reject the idea that all religions lead to God. TRUE RELIGEON:IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISCERN? I believe that there are some things that we can discern about God from the nature of the universe. The universe demonstrates some remarkable evidence of design. What kind of God designed all this, and how can we know His true identity? Most people who believe God exists would agree with the argument that the God who designed the universe must be a personal God. For God to put so much time and care into the design of the universe and life, it would seem logical to conclude that God really cared about His creation, and was personally involved in it's creation. A God who did not care about his creation would never be expected to spend 14 billion years of development just so that humans would have a nice place to live for a few thousand years. Therefore, it would seem likely that the true God must be a personal God, and not the God of deism, pantheism, Buddhism, etc. So, it would seem that these religions probably do not represent the true nature of God. ELIMINATE THE ILLOGICAL: The powerful and personal Creator God of the universe would probably want to reveal Himself to His spiritual creatures. So, it seems likely that God would have revealed His true nature to one or more of the peoples of the earth. Are all the revelations of the world religions a reflection of God or just certain one(s)? This is the difficult question that cannot be answered in merely one short page. However, I believe one can come up with a best answer through much study and through the process of elimination. For example, some religions make truth claims that are obviously false. The LDS church(Mormons) claims that gods are created through procreation and that creatures created by those gods can eventually become gods themselves. However, this religion suffers from the problem of how the first god came into existence. Logic would dictate that God is eternal and uncreated. All religions that claim otherwise would seem to be logically flawed. BASIC RELIGEON CLAIM: Since many religious claims contradict one another, it would seem that not all religions could be simultaneously true. How can we tell which religion(s) are true? If you examine the world religions, most describe ethical and moral laws that are ascribed to God. Breaking of those laws is an offense to God. How do different religions handle that problem? Many religions say that if one tries to obey God's laws most of the time, God will accept you. However, I believe that we can eliminate that idea as being true of the Creator God of the universe. God designed physical laws of the universe. These laws are constant and unbreakable. God Himself, seems to break those physical laws only rarely. I propose that this God would not accept the breaking of His moral laws so easily. In fact, from the nature of the physical laws, it would seem that God would not accept the breaking of His moral laws at all. Nearly all religions claim that God will ignore our breaking of His moral laws as long as we try our best. This is where Christianity differs from all other world religions. Christianity says that our good works cannot erase our bad moral choices. Think of it in terms of our legal systems. We are convicted of crimes on the basis of breaking the law. If we break a law, we are found guilty under the law. It doesn't matter what good things we have done in our lives, if we break the law. We might get a lesser sentence, but we will still be convicted of a crime. So, God cannot simply ignore our crimes against Him. We will be found guilty,despite our good works. Christianity says that our bad deeds (sins) must be eliminated in order to be acceptable to God. The elimination of sins was accomplished by the sacrifice of the Savior (Jesus Christ). Jesus Christ is God Himself, who came to earth, led a sinless life, and died on the cross as a sacrifice to take the sins of mankind. So, God Himself provided a means of eliminating our sins against Him. However, the elimination of sins is not automatic. Since God will allow people into His presence after death, they must agree to His terms. This contract is executed through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to eliminate our sins. By accepting God's terms, our sins are erased and we can stand in the presence of God without any sin. Only our good deeds will be counted for our judgment. Those who don't accept God's terms will be judged on the basis of God's laws - and will be found guilty. CHRISTIANITY IS DIFFERENT : No other religion provides a provision for God's forgiveness of sin,which is why I believe Christianity to be the only true way to God.Jesus said He is the only way to God and that all people must follow Him to enter heaven. All other religions are man's attempt to become acceptable to God.Only Christianity says that God alone provides the only means to be acceptable to Him. So, either Christianity is true and all other religions are false or Christianity is false and God does not hold people accountable for law breaking.Personally, I would not want to rely upon God ignoring His own rules. It doesn't seem to be logical reasoning.This is the choice you must make. CONCLUSION: So, I encourage you to examine the world religions to see if what I am saying is true. Don't give up on the ability to separate the truth claims of the world's religions. If Christianity is true, you must make a choice or you will be judged on the basis of your sins against God. Let me know if you have any questions. |
DoubleDeeX:I love this my good friend. God bless you. |
plappville:there was a time Jesus BECAME man BUT there was NEVER a time Jesus BECAME God for God is eternal.Jesus is eternal God who exist Long before he was born in the flesh. This point to the fact the He has TWO nature (God and Man) .there are things God knows that Jesus in his human nature do not know. Let me give you an example: have you ever seen a demon possessed man being heal ?Prior to his deliverance he will act strange and speak with uncontrolled voice(multiple voice) but when the demon is cast out from him, if you try to explained his behavior before he was deliver, he will deny acting in such way .infact some demon possessed Person may even cut himself with sharp object unknowingly to his human nature. It is because his demonic nature did not override his human nature.they were both distinct from each other. That is how God possessed Jesus, God is holy and hate sin ,that is why He possessed the body of Jesus christ (a sinless being) NO wonder! Jesus had to be born via a virgin birth so that He will possess the body. and then this God and his human nature have "spirit" the holy spirit. So when Jesus say the father is greater than I, yes offcorse, God is greater than man, the human nature of Jesus christ. |
plaetton:you guys are not mocking, all what you guys are doing is throwing insult of ALL kind. An atheists cannot post a coment without calling a believer fool,idiocy,stup*pid mo'ron ilitrate dumb etc.. |

Rilwayne001:honestly, even if Johnny type 'A' all his atheists friends will hit likes. Very funny. |
johnydon22:even the Judaism don't practice such law anymore . Do they ? |
Aurelius1:why do you chose evil over good ? Do you not know that God love you ? That is why He first send His son to pay the price for your sin. The pleasure of this world last only for a night, what ever satan give you, you must pay for it in anyway. But God gift is free, do not allowed the devil to deceive you. Read this thread and pray to God, I tell you the truth, God will ease all your worry. https://www.nairaland.com/2318252/reason-why-prayer-not-being |
johnydon22:Do you see christians practice such law? |
K9blunt:alright. |
gbaskiphylle:evil people are predestined to serve the purposes of God through their evil will, However, they still possessed free will and would have done evil under any circumstances. So, the Bible indicates that God placed them in history to fulfill His purposes, knowing that they would do evil. God did not cause them to do evil, since God is not the author of evil. James says not to blame God for temptation: James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. Did Jesus made a mistake in chosen judas among His twelve? NO, Jesus indicated that He chose the apostles, including the one who would betray Him. Even Judas,as a worker of evil, was fulfilling part of the redemptive purpose of God. Luke, in the book of Acts indicates that evil Herod and Pontius Pilate, who condemned Jesus, were serving God's purposes. Acts 2:23 this Man, delivered up by the PREDETERMINED PLAN AND FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. The godless men are serving the purpose of God.this men will still chose evil because of their freewill, 1 John 3:8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil. |
K9blunt:why do you make a decision (if God exist or not) via a faceless forum? Do you know the people you are reading there post? If you want to be convinced, God does not exist, you have to do the research yourself. I tell you the truth my sister, God is there, God exist, believe me, do not allowed the devil to manipulate you. Trust me when I say God exist. Come back home, come back to Christianity. Bible say remember your creator when you are young, or is it when you grow old and life is not pleasurable anymore that you will remember God? Thank you |
Rilwayne001:we were created in His pleasure, He predestined our character before the world began. |
Rilwayne001:The Bible speaks of “the hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised BEFORE TIME BEGAN” (Titus 1:2). This is the reason you and I were created to have an unending relationship with God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and all those whom They would eventually bring to a glorified state ( Hebrews 2:10). Having the characteristic of love as Their prevailing attribute ( 1 John 4: , God the Father and Christ want to share thisgodly bond with us throughout eternity. As 1 John 3:1-2 says: “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! … Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” You are a muslim, this truth is foreign to you.you find it strange that God wanted to have a special relationship with His creatures. In islam, how can one be save? |
Rilwayne001:yes. |
The crucifixion of Jesus christ is what God plan before the world began. There are many astonished miracle Jesus did that would've convinced the Jews that Jesus is Lord yet the Jews crucify Him, in fact when the soldiers came to arrest Him, peter cut the ear of one of the soldier, but Jesus restore it back, YET they went ahead and crucify Him.the crowd even chose Barabbas who is a criminal than Jesus who comit NOT a single sin. |
