LordReed:
Always changing mouth. First you said the god doesn't speak to people opposing him. Next it was the god only speaks to people who believe. Now it is he won't speak to someone de.anding him to show himself. Of course your god is the ultimate champion of hide and seek. Boju boju god. LoLz.

TheDevilsBride:
Meanwhile, since you seem so fond of biblical references, why don't we talk about the fact that even the demons believe in God's existence?

LordReed:
Yet he doesn't talk to the Muslims or the Hindus. Abegi find another excuse this one don enter soakaway.

LordReed:
Yet he supposedly spoke to Saul aka Paul when he was persecuting Christians. Look for another excuse, this one no work.

TheDevilsBride:
More cognitive dissonance, lmao.
Let's not ignore the context, please. Paul (then Saul) went out of his own way, to actively persecute Christians, whom he viewed as heretics to his own understanding of God's will, as is being argued here. So if you insist that he was indeed, fighting to establish God's authority, then perhaps we may conclude that in his fervent, albeit misguided attempts to uphold God's authority, he was, in fact, opposing it! Else, why would God himself, make a cameo in the story to smite him, correct him, and then steer him towards the right path, lol?

As for your absurd allusions to Paul's instant recognition of Jesus as "Lord", it's absolutely banal and meaningless, as it doesn't absolve the fact that prior to his epiphany, he was a staunch, and avid adversary to what he perceived as a threat to his religious convictions. Whether Paul was "confused" or "misguided", he still fits the criteria of someone inadvertently opposing divine will, and posing a direct challenge to it, whether cognizant or not. So you're just being disingenuous, as per usual.

Aemmyjah:
Does it start with Islam or the Great Apostate mimicking Christendom

IYANGBALI:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

TheDevilsBride:
I see. So what happened then, with Paul on the road to Damascus, hmmm? Was he not literally persecuting Christians, when God decided to stop him and have a little chat, hmmm? Or was Paul already an enthusiastic, faith-filled supporter before his divine optometry appointment, ?

TheDevilsBride:
Is it not ironic that you'd quote a passage about the folly of believing in silent gods, but you shockingly failed to notice that your God has been mute ever since the Bronze Age, lmao?
Abi, did you also fail to notice that Jehovah was apparently quite the chatterbox in the ancient times, always taking the opportunity to reveal himself, back when literacy was scarce and fact-checking was impossible, hmmm?
All of a sudden he has developed divine laryngitis since the invention of recording devices ?

TheDevilsBride:
Are you trying to suggest that your singular personal experience trumps all the historical records compiled, all the anthropological studies made, and all the other lived experiences of billions of people across various parts of the world, besides yourself ? If that's the case, then what are we still talking about here? Why aren't you penning a strongly worded letter to the Nobel committee, upon discovering this revolutionary new epistemology? We can arrange a meeting, and establish some contacts, you know. They might scoff at our audacity, but it's worth a try !

johnydon22:
Exactly. He is the most merciful!

gohf:
see this one, since the day I rejected your invitation to where gothamcities calls a cult, your love hate towards me increase. You remind me of that woman with unclean spirit that kept following Paul

TheDevilsBride:
Apollo, Ra, Vishnu, and Zeus

Thankgod89:
I agree with everything you wrote except the point about confessing our wrongdoing to an Elder.

johnydon22:
He sure is. I mean, why else would he drown everyone in the planet save 1 family? No mercy is greater than that.

Thankgod89:
I understand your reasoning, but I still maintain that God is never restricted to a particular place, no matter the situation. Most of the attributions in the texts you referenced especially in Genesis 6:6 are anthropopathic—human-like descriptions to help us relate to His actions.
Moreover, God does not focus only on faithful people. Matthew 5:45 makes it clear that He provides for both the righteous and the unrighteous, showing that His presence and care extend to all, not just those who please Him. While He delights in the faithful, He does not ignore or become unaware of unbelievers. His omniscience means He knows all things, even if He disapproves of sinful actions.
The idea that He "does not know" unbelievers is metaphorical, emphasizing their spiritual disconnection rather than literal ignorance. Even in judgment, His presence remains everywhere, and He continues to govern all creation. His holiness may lead to separation from sin, but that does not mean He withdraws or restricts Himself in any way.

God2man2again:
Then apply the knowledge of God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit.

Thankgod89:
I never stated that God restricted Himself to a particular place. My point has always been that God is omnipresent and not confined to any specific location. If there was any misunderstanding, I’d be happy to clarify further.

MaxInDHouse:
According to the Bible He is a happy God {1Timothy 1:11} this means He hates to be sad {Genesis 6:6} so He restricted Himself to focus only on faithful people who always makes Him proud {Proverbs 27:11 compare to Job 1:8} that's why His only begotten son could say unbelievers are dead from God's standpoint {Luke 9:60} because they are like any other creature so He doesn't even know they exist since their dealings will sadden His hearts and His eyes are too pure to look at evil deeds {Habakkuk 1:13} this is the reason why He empower some angels to serve as His eyes {Ezekiel 10:12} these are the creatures that are moving throughout the earth {2 Chronicles 16:9} they are the ones bringing reports back to Him regarding where things are becoming unbearable! Genesis 18:20-21

But by the time He brings His judgement and destroy all evildoers He will return to His former ways of looking at everything because by then the earth will be filled with His knowledge and His blessings will be upon all those living! Isaiah 11:9

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

TheDevilsBride:
What's the point of being an all-powerful entity, if you're just going to sit back, and watch your own creation, ignore your standards.

God2man2again:
If it is not a topic then explain what Jesus meant by saying baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost.

God2man2again:
You cannot understand God with your sixth sense, could you explain Trinity,.God in three persons? Or.you.may ask, who created God?. So many questions that will make you to be confused. God is God period.
Trying to explain everything about God will confuse you more and more.

GothamCities:
May God have mercy on your soul.

MightySparrow:
Your explanation would be interesting, but you have not really answered the question why God restricted Himself and to which place?

God2man2again:
Trinity means being three and Jesus said it in Matthew 28;19

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

TheDevilsBride:
I hope you realize you're admitting that your God is not just incompetent, but he's definitely not omnipotent and/or almighty as well? So, in light of this concession, why then should we call him "God"? What's your definition of "God", if he's clearly not all-powerful?

TheDevilsBride:
Very good! So if an all-powerful, all-loving, almighty and/or omnipotent deity truly wanted to communicate clearly with his creation, how come he wasn't able to do so in a way that Satan's "agents" couldn't muddle with his message, hmmm? Abi, is Satan now better at translation God's own words than God himself? Or more importantly, are you conceding that Satan is just as powerful, if not more powerful than God, that he can override God's intent, and sow the seeds of chaos and confusion through God's word ?

God2man2again:
It is part of your explanation to tell us whether the word 'TRINITY' is written in the Bible or not.

TheDevilsBride:
So you just swapped one set of blinkers for another, huh? Got ya .

I only ask questions for clarification, as I'm just a really curious cat by nature .

SheikhMuniru:
Hausa people are not well educated unlike the Yorubas, this is another reason why it was handed over to them not because of respect of whatever you are saying.
