Your deity is only predicting, good!
And besides he is not almighty too.
MaxInDHouse:
Well none of your òrìsàs can predict what will happen to the entire inherited earth in the future just as JEHOVAH revealed to Jesus sent through an angel to deliver it to Apostle John! Revelations 1:1

I'll give you just one instance!

Jesus foretold that by the time he return to the earth as a mighty spirit King these are the events that we his true disciples living then will see:
©Jesus will restructure his group so the preaching and teaching campaign will kick off again but this time nothing can stop it so it will be throughout the earth! Revelations 6:1-2
That's why Jehovah's Witnesses have started preaching zealously and industriously teaching in all our neighbourhood throughout the earth!


©Countries will start to fight against countries and politicians against politicians so people will die in their millions. That's why the world war struck that year (1914) and ever since then wars has not cease throughout the earth despite all human organizations established to ensure peace! Revelations 6:3-4 compare to Matthew 24:7

©Artificial famine will follow leading to food shortages as the countries involving in wars are the largest producers of most raw materials used in production of food since they've diverted all their resources into weapons of war! Revelations 6:5-6 compare to Matthew 24:7

©Then due to loss of lives and lack of focus on people's welfare different diseases will emerge including pandemics leading many to their early grave! Revelations 6:7-8 compare to Luke 21:11

So we have much more than enough reasons to put faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who is the Author of the Bible.

But you too can present your òrìsàs perhaps any of them has something worthwhile to say.
Please don't allow the words of the God of the Bible to prove true regarding you and your gods:

Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands. A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes, but they cannot see; Ears they have, but they cannot hear; A nose, but they cannot smell; Hands they have, but they cannot feel; Feet, but they cannot walk; They make no sound with their throat. The people who make them will become just like them, As will all those who trust in them. Psalms 115:3-8

Please lets hear whatever you have to say about your òrìsàs.
Please! Please!! Please!!!
Prove to us that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was just blabbing! )

Maynman:
Are you ready to free yourself from watchtower bondage, or you are still worshipping theos, huh theist?
Because I’m not interested in mad people that their salvation depends on baldheads in watchtower!
There are various verses in your bible that says your deity knows your thoughts before you even think of it, you are confused!
And since your deity doesn’t know everything that means the mapped out plan is an assumption and can still later regret
He doesn’t know the end, he’s hoping his plans will work. The revelation book is simply as ASSUMPTION

If they could for the first time, why not another time ?
Because they are perfect creatures who has a right to choose between life and death.
They have seen how Satan and the other fallen angels failed in their attempt to rule successfully over mankind which was Satan's original plan. And again Jesus (Archangel Michael) has driven away all rebellious angels from heaven {Revelations 12:7-12} so if you are one of the loyal ones enjoying the company of Michael and the rest in God's presence, will you leave such a comfort zone to join Satan and other fallen angels whose days are numbered? Revelations 20:10 smiley

AntiChristian:
So all those who lived from 0AD - 1913 were largely unguided by your 1914 Jesus till he came? This is misguidance!
After the death of all his first century disciples true Christianity disappeared not until his return in 1914!
After considering how Satan, demons and their human agents will mix up {Matthew 13:25} with the Christians, Jesus said:

"when the Son of man arrives, will he really find this faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8

Well what everyone can see before and after 1914 is evidence that the answer to the above question is NO!
It was after his return in 1914 that Christianity was restored! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Theists, What Exactly Makes Your God "Holy"? by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:47am On Aug 26, 2022
Wilgrea7:
I salute your attempt to try and justufy your God based on the criteria you provided.. but it doesn't seem to even come close.
Let's begin.
You tried to justify God sending bears to maul children for making fun of a baldy.. and your excuse was that the baldy was from God?
1. Nowhere is it stated that the children knew who Elisha was
2. Even if they did know, how does that make the actions of your God any more justified?
If i sent a bald messanger to you and some kids in your community made fun of him, does that justify me sending 2 lions to maul them?
Your excuse holds no water. If you want to talk about justice, and fairness, then explain how the verbal mockery the kids gave, is equal to being mauled by bears. Explain how that's just and fair.
I told you from the beginning that you can only argue blindly against what is Holy (Pure) you can never ever find a better option!
The Creator wants to restore sanity on planet earth so he made a nation His special people {Exodus 19:5} and gave them rules to pass onto all their children {Deuteronomy 6:4-8} so the killing of those children is well justified and their parents will learn from their disobedience to God's law! smiley
Wilgrea7:
What? huh What part of “hardened his heart" gave you the impression that God expected him to reason? What part of “hardened his heart" gives you the impression that Pharoah still had the freedom to do the right thing.
Do i have to explain what the words mean to you, or are you just trying to be intellectually dishonest here??
According to the military the best form of defense is attack. But the true God never did anything to hurt Pharaoh in person so learn through reasoning God was giving Moses the reason not to start doubting why the God who turn a rod into snake refused to turn a mortal man like Pharaoh into a rat or even take away his breath for challenging God's authority. So a military intelligence officer fully understand what that phrase mean as we often torture a captive to release whatever he's holding in his heart as secret but the Almighty didn't do so to Pharaoh yet expecting him to open his mouth and declare free the slaves that has been in Egypt for 400 years. Ọmọ a military intelligence officer of my caliber fully grasp the phrase. wink
Wilgrea7:
A terrible attempt at a rebuttal. The Egyptians that left with them did so after your God had unjustly punished them for the heart of Pharoah who he already hardened. The death of the first borns wasn't the first plague. It was the last What part of your justice and fairness compass tells you it's ok to punish people unjustly, with 10 terrible plagues, after you've hardened the heart of their leader to not accept the request you put before him.
Your argument of the Egyptians leaving with the Israelites holds absolutely no weight here.
Speaking of the 10th plague... What type of justice requires me to kill your child because you pissed me off? Since when did innocent children become a commodity by which we deliver justice? If a murderer is found guilty, do you sentence his son to life imprisonment, or worse, death.
According to this God since sin has entered into the world and death through sin all humans are dead from His standpoint as each will grow old, get sick and eventually die whether they prove to be nice or wicked {Romans 5:12} so when He is working on His plans to restore sanity what matters most to Him is how mankind learn from the event because they will still die anyway!
So for the Israelites to have been cruelly mistreated for centuries and Egyptians to pick up few things and follow their own slaves just because of a God came with His plans show that His actions yielded a positive result!

Wilgrea7:
This is as nonsensical as me saying
1. There's no law in this place
2. I create a law which states that people who wear green hats should be stoned to death
3. Yay.. look at me... I'm just and fair
Anyone can see how illogical that sounds. But that's the exact excuse you're trying to give.
Nowhere is justice and fairness shown in the actions of stoning sabbath day workers, non-virgins, and disobedient children.
According to His word this God is described as "JEHOVAH of armies" {Isaiah 9:7} and don't forget that REBELLION against Him caused all the troubles mankind is experiencing today so to make sure that sanity is fully restored all prospective subjects that will benefit from the plan of His everlasting life must be handled with IRON HAND. So when He gives orders all must obey without questioning His authority. Note that He has displayed His mightiness to this nation and their forefathers has told them how this God singlehandedly journeyed to Egypt and rescued them without a military force, therefore He has the right to deal ruthlessly with any one who proves to be a rebel among those He is grooming as His special possession. Note also that He never expected the same from nations to whom He has not shown His mightiness. So He is well JUSTIFIED! smiley
Wilgrea7:
That's bull and you know it. Nowhere in the bible did it say that God used his “power" to read the traits of Esau to know he'll despise his birthright. It's clearly stated that Esau was hated in the womb, before he had the ability to even choose to despise or accept his birthright. Also, you're trying to play a dangerous game with the notion of freewill here. And I'll give you a quick hint.. it doesn't work in favor of your argument. AT ALL.
If Esau had freewill, then your God is unjust for hating him for a crime he didn't even have the capacity to commit yet. And if Esau had no freewill, your God is also unjust for knowingly creating a person who he knew would do something he didn't like, and then hate him for something that was entirely out of his control.
When He said "i am the beginning and the end" it means He has mapped out a plan to see to it that sanity is fully restored on planet earth and He will see to it till it's end so the lineage of Abraham becomes His focus that's why any child coming through Abraham will be sighted from afar whether such child will prove to be useful in the plan or not! Genesis 16:11-12 compare to 17:18-21
So the true God never predestined Esau that way rather He used His power to foresee what Esau will turn out to be since He is part of those coming from the lineage of Salvation!
Wilgrea7:
That's analogous to saying
1. I destroyed a house (something you've failed to prove as just)
2. I'm going to go on and destroy houses
3. Because i destoyed the first house, anyone else who stands in my way as i come to destroy their own house is worthy of being destroyed.
4. Yay... Look at me.. i am just.
It... Makes... No... Sense
When arguing about HOLINESS i told you that the first thing you need to consider is PURITY which means you can't find a better one.
All other gods back then were using humans to fight for space so they can become gods after using humans to secure a geographical location then the same fighters become their worshipers. But this God journeyed all alone to the world's most powerful nation of that time with two feeble octogenarians and delivered millions out of bondage. Then He is matching with His people towards your destination. Do you think it's wise to challenge His authority? Even if you hypocritically choose to argue blindly now sane billions today will tell you that you're being stupid. That's why Rahab a lady in Jericho and the inhabitants of Gibeon acted wisely and the true God welcomed them!
Wilgrea7:
That's a terrible analogy as to how justice works.
If the price for stealing is 3 years in prison, and my dad steals, he gets 3 years in prison.
If i steal, I don't get 9 years.. i get 3. Your logic fails terribly here.
People choose to do crimes for a variety of reasons. Punishing someone more because their ancestors did something makes no sense. Every crime has it's punishment. The punishment is administered to the person who committed the crime. After the punishment is administered, the debt for the crime is paid. Punishing the child more goes against that basic principle, and hence, makes zero sense.
Perhaps you don't get this thing so i'll enlighten you!
All the governmental institutions ever established on this planet have just one purpose: to make LOVE, JOY and PEACE reign within their domain!
So before you can prove that an institution is unjust with it's system of rule you must first find a better institution that has performed better. JEHOVAH said:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, And your ways are not my ways,” declares Jehovah. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
And today He has His own people trained with His word (Bible) and of all the institutions ever established by humans only Jehovah's people has been able to achieve LOVE, JOY and PEACE in their organization! Isaiah 2:2-4
The Holy One of Israel is not saying you can't find something to argue upon but you can never ever find a better performing institution than His own! Isaiah 54:17
So His system of handling matters has been JUSTIFIED! Luke 7:35

Wilgrea7:
I
You didn't even offer a rebuttal here. You just restated my point like it was some high and mighty thing.
If i have 2 sons. One, kind and good, and the other, a thief. What sensible justice system would tell me to punish the good son for the crimes of the thief?
Your whole “millions of Adam's descendants are doomed" analogy is an appeal to emotion. One that breeds injustice.
In what universe is punishing the innocent because the guilty would be “doomed" considered fair? That's like saying a criminal who should seve 5 years should be set free, because you don't want him to be punished. And because of that, you grab an innocent man off the street and sentence him to 5 years. Even if the innocent man offered himself to pay for the crimes of the criminal. It is not just.
To get true justice you need the uncommon sense not the common!
Note that JEHOVAH created humans in His image so all His angelic sons are watching how He will deal with this matter without staining His Holiness. First of all it's His first human Son that brought rebellion to planet earth and it's affecting all his descendants till today as we can see people killing people for politics (they are not ready to submit to their fellowman's standard)
To right this wrong a sacrifice must be offered on behalf of obedient mankind to transfer their genealogy from Adam to another perfect human son of God who must prove to be obedient and loyal completely. 1Corinthians 15:45
The one who wants to buy obedient mankind as his adopted children must pay with his human life what Adam owe. That's how Jesus will become our everlasting father unlike Adam our dead father! Isaiah 9:6
JEHOVAH promised that since mankind need to be restored back to perfection the one who offered his human life will be the same person to rule over mankind for 1,000 years in order to lead them to a perfect state! Revelations 20:4
So all the angels in heaven are watching how JEHOVAH will justify the transition of mankind's life from Adam to Jesus because to them Jehovah supposed to destroy Satan, Adam and Eve then create another pair to start all over again but He decided to show that His works are perfect by allowing time to prove through some of Adam's descendants that humans can remain obedient and loyal to Him as their rightful owner no matter the situation they find themselves! The Bible's account of Job is evidence that Jehovah created Adam perfect the defect is as a result of Adam's choice not from Jehovah! Deuteronomy 32:5
Wilgrea7:
I
You've failed to show in any of these instances, how your God acted justly. If anything, you've further shown the injustice and unfairness in his actions.
Let me end this by adding your iconic smile emoji. cheesy
HOLY means PURE as in there is no better one. So Jehovah has proved to be Holy unless you present a better way than the way Jehovah has handled situation giving us a practical example by pointing to a society following the better way! smiley

Maynman:
Your Bible was not written in “English” it was translated to English, so you expecting exact vocabularies like “omniscient” “omnipotent” is dumb.
Is “Esu” written in your bible? Yet you claim esu is same as satan, why don’t you also apply that logic?

What’s the definition of omniscient and omnipotent then you proceed with that.

And according to your logic since he doesn’t know all things, that means the revelation book is an assumption.
Are you ready to reason intelligently or you're still waiting for cartoons?
Because i'm not interested in some insane who will be wasting my precious time arguing blindly!
I fully know that the God of Abraham never claim to know everything He only promised He will see to it that His purposes is actualized no matter what any rebellious creature does.
So when He says "I am the beginning and the end" He's not talking about knowing what is in the hearts of all creatures rather He meant that no matter what they do He has mapped out His plans to end badness and nothing can thwart His plans. Isaiah 55:8-11
So we that are putting faith in Him only follow His plans as written in the Bible and as we're seeing how all His promises are coming through our faith in Him is been strengthened each day! smiley

you say: the true God only knows about events reported to Him
Christians say God knows everything
you say: He is not present everywhere
Christians say God is everywhere
the Christians God of the Bible knows everything:
1 John 3:20 For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything
Psa 139:2  You know when I sit and when I rise;  
Psa 139:4  Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. 
Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them
Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
Hebrews 4:13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account
Psalm 50:11 I know all the birds of the hills,
Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Matthew 10:30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
the Christians God of the Bible is everywhere:
Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Jeremiah 23:24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
Psa 139:7  Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 
Psa 139:8  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
the Christians God of the Bible is all powerful
ask for the scriptures
There's no need for name calling just treat each title one after the other so let's go:

Satan is a master of deception. He is a con-man, the greatest I,n the art. He is strongly opposed to anyone who finds the road to life. For the others who wallow in darkness, he makes sure they're as blind as a Carmel in a dust storm.
Satan has a strong hold on this world. Philosophies, attitudes, lifestyles and opinions are all under his control. Anyone who decides to worship God the right way will be swimming upstream, a difficult task, but possible with God help.
Many watchers have said that with the advent of the internet, the number of Jehovah's witnesses will greatly reduce. In their thinking, the internet will help in a large scale to expose secrets about the organization to it's members and many will leave in droves. This hasn't happened as they have envisaged.

From what you said, it means the angels have free will ? Looks like there are still chances of having more and more fallen angels by the day
Of course they are like humans since they are created in the image of God as well.

Regarding having more fallen angels that is impossible.

WHY?

Before Satan could convince one third of them it wasn't that easy because he had to tell them lies upon lies just as he did to Adam and Eve.
Do you think if Satan is allowed to try the same thing with perfect humans who has seen the outcome of the deceit that it was just like dragging them into trouble along with himself, they will fall for his bait again?

No nah! smiley

Justice?? You want to talk about Justice?? Ok Sir. Let's talk about justice.
Tell me how it is just that your God would send bears to maul children for simply making fun of a bald man
The so called children were ISRAELITES who knew that the man they're insulting was sent by the God of Israel, they're not babies but teenagers and their parents who are supposed to scold them were watching and laughing knowing fully well that it'll attract a CURSE!
“‘CURSED is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.’ (And all the people will say, ‘Amen!’) Deuteronomy 27:16

Wilgrea7:
Tell me how it is just that your God would harden the heart of Pharaoh, and then punish him for it.
This means God did not inflict pain on the man's body yet expecting him to reason. So when the Bible say "HARDEN" it doesn't mean the same God blocked Pharaoh's heart from doing the right thing.

Wilgrea7:
Tell me how it is just that the innocent children of Egypt had to die for the decision of Pharaoh, who God hardened his heart
Right thinking Egyptians were camping with the Israelites after noticing that the God in question meant business this Egyptians turned their own backs on their stubborn king and left Egypt with the Israelites {Exodus 12:38} the actions of these ones shows that my God is just because He approved them as His people!

Wilgrea7:
Tell me how it is just, that a person should be killed, by stoning, simply for working on a sunday, or not being a virgin at marriage
In a place where there's no law punishment is unjust but once the Israelites have the laws then my God is justified for dealing with defaulters. That's logical!

Wilgrea7:
Tell me how it is just, that your God would hate Esau from the womb, even before he was born
My God used His power to read the traits of the unborn child that he will despice the heritage that Abraham and Isaac cherished so much {Genesis 25:34} this is right no human even you will prefer the child that love what you cherish so much more than the one who despice your heritage.

Wilgrea7:
Tell me how it is just, that your God would order his people to commit genocide
It is well justified as He has sent a warning message to all the nations through what happened in Egypt and how He parted the red sea before His people, so any nation standing in their way supposed to be exterminated logically. Even you as stupid as you can be will flee for your life when calamity is approaching!

Wilgrea7:
Tell me how it is just to punish someone for the sins of their far ancestors
It's justified that after your ancestors have done what is evil and you heard of their past deeds but chose to follow their footsteps. In fact your own punishment supposed to be triple because your ancestors never had any past lessons unlike you who have heard about their past evil deeds. That's why my God said He will bring the punishment of your evil ancestors on you if you follow their footsteps {Exodus 34:7} but if you choose virtue then my God will prove to be loyal to you and your children for a thousand upon thousands of your generations as long as they're all following your virtuous deed! Deuteronomy 5:10

Wilgrea7:
Tell me, how in any conceivable way, it is just, that your God would kill an innocent person, who happened to also be himself, to save us from himself, for a crime we didn't even commit in the first place (I'm talking about the alleged sacrifice of Jesus)

Please, tell me again about this justice. I'm all ears.
Misinterpretation! cheesy
My God was willing to allow His only begotten Son (Jesus) pay for the debt that His first human son (Adam) owe in order to justify why Adam's descendants could enjoy everlasting life which Adam forfeited.
Remember that thousandth upon thousandth of Adam's descendants are doomed because as long as they're following Adam's rebellious footsteps but because Jesus was ready to pay the debt as he taught us how to reconcile with the true God so that we can gain what Adam lost.
So instead of arguing blindly all you need is ask in order to know who to blame! Matthew 7:7-8 smiley

zoer:
Is there a better replacement for JW?
Well the answer is NO!

They can all see the only religion standing tall above others {Matthew 5:14-16} so they can only agitate against what Jehovah has declared "HOLY" but they can never ever find any better performing group than Jehovah's Witnesses! smiley

I'm sorry. What truth did you reveal to me? Because I seem to have missed it.

The last discussion i remember was me asking you how your God is Holy, based on your "good for all" or "fair for all" criteria, even though he did several things which i listed. And you failed to show me how, other than telling me that it was his plan to restore some sort of "sanity".
There you go again!

You know that there is evil everywhere and you won't take it lightly if someone should rape your daughter to death but when justice is rendered by the authorities to restore sanity in the society by exterminating such evildoers and also eradicate traits leading to it you don't want to reason, all you're after is blame! blame!! blame!!! smiley

Please, tell us the origin of those lesser gods you mentioned first
This is what you said:
yankeecoder:
NB: I believe there are higher powers but I refuse to believe, only one exists
That's why i asked you to tell us what you know about the other gods.
But since you asked for their origin i'll refer you to the Bible!
@ Genesis 6:1-6
God revealed to us that some of the angels in heaven got attracted to humans so they came down materialised bodies from the dust of the earth just as God formed Adam and they put on these bodies. Genesis 2:7
After sleeping with female humans the abnormal sexual relations produced abnormal children that kept growing big and violent they made lives on earth uncomfortable that's why God brought rain to destroy these giants and all other rebellious humans only Noah and his family entered into the life saving Ark!
During the destruction these rebellious angels tried to return to heaven but God didn't allow them back into the gathering of His loyal spirit sons {1Peter 3:19-20} so they became demons {Jude 1:6} and they returned to the earth as powerful unseen spirits demanding worship from humans: gods!

What is the evidence to back this your conclusion? undecided

And God need not separate us here on earth! That's for the Judgement day!
And we have love among our adherent even if it's still a WIP.
And if our Prophet was as bad as you claimed many Christians and non-Muslims won't have spoken well of him. Only people like you with sight but no insight will say such about him.
I am sorry for you too sir! cry
Present the students that has learned from your prophet so the whole world can evaluate his authenticity through what is happening among those adhering to his teachings! Matthew 7:16 smiley

Wilgrea7:
1. Is your God subject to the criteria by which you define right and wrong? If no, then he cannot be seen as either right or wrong. If yes, proceed to point 2
YES! That's why Abraham challenged Him saying:
It is unthinkable that you would act in this manner by putting the righteous man to death with the wicked one so that the outcome for the righteous man and the wicked is the same! It is unthinkable of you. Will the Judge of all the earth not do what is right?” Genesis 18:25

Wilgrea7:
2. If right means things that are fair to all, and your God is subject to this definition, then whatever he does that is NOT fair to all, would be considered wrong. If you agree, proceed to point 3

3. Kindly explain how the following actions are “fair to all"
a) Choosing a group of people above all others as your chosen people
b) Sending bears to maul children for making fun of a baldy
c) Hardening Pharoah's heart, and inflicting terrible plagues on innocent Egyptians, who had nothing to do with Pharoah's decision, whose heart you also hardened
d) Commanding his chosen people to commit acts of genocide against others
e) Commanding his chosen people to stone several people to death, some of which include non-virgins, people who don't believe in him or worship another God, and people who work on the Sabbath
I look forward to your response
I have explained all these time and time again but your atheistic mindset keep blurring your insight.
God wants to establish sanity on planet earth and it must start from somewhere, so far He has given warnings ahead of punishment for WRONGDOINGS then He is ALWAYS RIGHT! smiley
