wiegraf: Is god subject to reason or is reason subject to god?

To be honest, I don't understand this question. Care to elucidate?

Emusan: This verse is talking about how man multiplied in time of Noah before the flood. Not Angel married human.


Shalom!

Dishonest as usual. When did "sons of God" (usually used to refer to God's angels ) become humans?

Anybody can claim to have had the same dream, it doesn't really prove anything.
Now, if we all fell into a deep sleep at the exact same time, had the same dream simultaneously and we all woke up together, that would be a different ball game altogether.

Ruq: But that was the plan init ? I mean without the story of eating the forbidden fruit.

Adam had a choice to eat or refuse to eat. Choice connotes freewill.

rationalmind: yes, after my question has been answered

How was the universe created?

To be honest, I don't know but that is not enough reason to dismiss God as a product of the human mind.

Knowing (or not knowing as the case may be) how the universe was created doesn't affect my belief in God. I'm content with what God has chosen to reveal.

^^^ It's part of the mystery that is God.

Going to work on that day.

Ruq: OP why are will given freewill ?

Would you rather you were made a robot?

rationalmind: It will go a long way in clearing my unbelief

Okay, if that's all it will take but are you ready to make a conscious effort to accept Christ?

amanfrommars: God's will or Man's will? Which is pre-eminent?
Short answer: God's will

Emusan: Where did you see this in the Bible?

Genesis 6 vs 2 :
the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

amanfrommars: Are humans justified by faith or by works?

Humans are justified solely by faith in God and works just prove that you have been justified by faith.

amanfrommars: What is justification?

Christ who was sinless became sin in order to reunite us with the Father.
Now as a sinner, when you trust and believe in Christ and his sacrifice, you are justified by the Father.

Justification is God's act of removing the guilt and penalty of sin and at the same time declaring a sinner blameless and righteous because of the sacrifice of his son, Christ Jesus.

wordsbase: Real sarcasm. It's just hysterical. Manhunter, rationalmind, amanfrommars, and a few others like Logic boy, virick, are all Atheist Lords on nairaland.

Good morning bro, trust you had a good night's rest? And for the record, I was mostly agnostic (with panentheistic leanings) before I was saved by Christ from vanities.

You know the great book says, "there is a way that seemeth right to a man but the end thereof is destruction".

I was mostly lost until I found my way with Christ.

rationalmind: How will I do it? Once people have sufficient evidence God created this universe, what else will prevent them from believing in him

Is that the only thing preventing you from believing?

rationalmind: in addition, it will also win more souls into the kingdom of God.

Think about that

How would it do that? You are not being honest or you don't have any tangible reason for longing to have this knowledge.

@Amanfrommars, I'll attempt your remaining questions after a good night's rest. I'll also remember to pray for all the lost souls on this forum.

amanfrommars: Who will make heaven? If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved

amanfrommars: What is heaven?
Heaven is the abode of God and his angels.

amanfrommars: Why do we have to believe? This question seems incomplete to me so I'm unable to give any answer. Please give more details.

aManFromMars: The purpose of Jesus Christ's sacrifice?
Simple answer: Jesus sacrificed himself as a pure and righteous offering unto the holy God in order to cleanse us of our iniquities.

rationalmind: Publish a peer reviewed scientific journal on it. I may well end up winning the nobel prize.

From the money earned, I'll give you 50%

Money is the sole reason why you want to have this knowledge. Some things are better left unknown.

castielo: guy.. u know say u dey craze?

No I don't know that. Pray, tell me, how did you come to know this?

aManFromMars: The purpose of Jesus Christ's sacrifice?
Why do we have to believe?
What is heaven?
Who will make heaven?
What is justification? Are humans justified by faith or by works?
God's will or Man's will? Which is pre-eminent?



This and lots more coming.

I'll have to take your questions one at a time.

vizkiz: y do i smell lies?

Maybe you should check your nose or something.
I know a good doctor that could help if you want.

rationalmind: Ok good. But with that same finite mind, you grasped that God did it.

Anyway, can you please help me ask him in prayers for just a hint on how he created the universe? I mean, that hint that my silly finite mind can ask.

Afterall, he told us to ask in his word and it shal be given

And after you have known this, what will you do with the knowledge?

wordsbase: What's your word to Atheists?

They are misguided and they need the love of God to help them grow.

wordsbase: Genesis tells us so actually. Genesis chapter 1 and 2.

It doesn't touch on the universe as a whole, it touches mostly on the creation of Earth.

wordsbase: Is this a joke?

And John rational mind is asking a question?

What do you have against me?
Was my conversion too swift?
Do you believe that nothing is impossible for God?

rationalmind: How did God create the universe?

That is for God to know and for us to be marvelled.

Your mind is too finite to even begin to grasp how God created this universe.

This will be a sister thread to the one Reyginus created.


So, as of this moment, I have given my life to Christ and I accept him wholeheartedly.

I believe that he came to die for my sins and to reunite the world with the one true God.


So, guys, throw all you got at me, I've got the Holy Spirit now.

So bros, I've been meaning to ask this question for a long time now.
In the bible, some angels left their perfect heaven after checking out the backsides of a few women; Please, bros, what caused such a behaviour, why did spiritual beings long so much for the material?
