There'll will be hostility or animosity towards the new black sheep of the family! In as much as the Prophets come to rectify people affairs, anyone who follows them will need to go against some or most of the opinions from their family members.
Exactly the only difference between one who becomes a Christian and other religions is that Christians are ordered never to return evil for evil {Matthew 10:16} so while others may pick up weapons against their attackers for being treated unjustly Christians must remain peaceful with all men! Romans 12:18

When Matthew left everything and followed the biblical Jesus what do you think will happen to his family?
If a person born into a Buddhist or Hindu or Christian or Traditionalist family suddenly becomes a Muslim what do you think will happen in that family? undecided

TheDevilsBride:
If we even go further, deep into biblical context/s, the terms "OMNIPOTENT" and "ALMIGHTY" are indeed, often used interchangeably.
That's what some people thought but a further research into the meaning of both words shows they don't mean the same thing.

Omnipotent could be translated as able to do all things including evil deeds which totally negates the attributes of the Bible God!

At Genesis 18:25 we read:

"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?”

This is what Abraham the person God declared as father of all those having faith {Romans 4:11} said, he told God "i'm sure there are some things you can't do because you are HOLY" but omnipotent does not stop at only doing what is right that's why it's inappropriate to use it for the Bible God who can't even tell a lie! Titus 1:2

TheDevilsBride:
Very interesting. So if God can't preserve his word through one translation, what makes you think any other translation is foolproof smiley?
I have explained to you but you just want to stick to your preconceived opinion.

Here is the answer again!

In His word we are made to understand that there are humans who serve as agents of Satan and these ones are into misleading honest hearted people {2 Corinthians 11:14 compare to Matthew 24:11} so in other to be on the right path God Himself said we should make sure of all things and hold onto what is fine! 1Thessalonians 5:21 compare to Matthew 7:16-18

So out of all the translations which one has successfully helped people from all nations to become one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers just as God purpose? Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

If you have found such a translation yet blaming God for the stubbornness in the minds of rebellious people what is my own business with that? smiley

HolinesstodLord:
God is omnipresent but will never be present where sins reigns.
This is hilarious.
How can one be omnipresence but at the same time not present in some places?

Well it's clear that God has the power to be present everywhere but He has chosen to restrict Himself so that only what will gladdens His heart He sees. Habakkuk 1:13

She has a twisted mindset yet she wants to chat with people whom she claims are deluded but what baffles me is her seriousness in typing epistles upon epistles and when you try to clarify matters she sticks to her preconceived opinion in order to trash reasonableness! 1Timothy 6:20; 2Timothy 2:23; Titus 3:9 smiley

TheDevilsBride:
Delusion to another grants you any sort of expertise in critical thinking.
At first it seems like delusion to me too but after clarification i discovered it's no delusion rather it's misinformation.

Today i know that the true God wants all mankind to live as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers under one organization unlike what Satan is promoting "ISOLATION" which promotes hatred hence development of destructive devices just to annihilate one another.
So i can say i have sure evidence of God's presence in the gathering of His Organized worshipers today.
If you feel everything is delusion that's your own personal conclusion! smiley

But repetition is not loneliness nau. It's called "seeking clarification", lmao.
I know, I know. It's a concept clearly foreign to your echo chamber cheesy.
What do you care to do with the so called CLARIFICATION? cheesy

I was formerly a Muslim and when i need to clarify matters i focus on what i needed: Clarification

But this case is different because your mind is already made up according to you so it's no longer clarification but a sense of LONELINESS that's bringing you here to chat with religionists! wink

What happened to KJV cheesy?
What do you think warranted other translations? smiley

This is what others have to say about the same verse:

And I heard what sounded like a voice of a great crowd and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of heavy thunders. They said: “Praise Jah, because Jehovah our God, the Almighty, has begun to rule as king! NWT


Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. ‭NIV‬



So if the word means ALMIGHTY but KJV rendered it OMNIPOTENT then why did the KJV used ALMIGHTY @ Exodus 6:3 and not OMNIPOTENT? smiley


I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God ALMIGHTY, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself fully known to them. ‭NIV‬

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God ALMIGHTY, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. KJV

And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God ALMIGHTY, but with regard to my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them. NWT


So why change the word? smiley

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
- Isaiah 40:28 KJV

I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

SheikhMuniru:
Europeans didn't handed over to Yoruba, it was handed over to hausa because of their majority. Democracy is all about Majority and not minority!
You surely have a point but do you also know that the whitemen wanted to keep their position as lords over those ruling you?
How can they do that if it's not in your culture to respect superior authority?
Hausas and Yorùbás already established their system of rule through traditional rulers and they treat their rulers with deep respect but such is not the same with the Igbos an average Igbo man only respect someone with weapons there is no authority among them that calls for respect other than someone who can kill and destroy.
When the British wanted to leave they discovered that the Hausas and Fulanis have high regard for their traditional rulers so even though Tafawa Balewa is the Prime Minister of Nigeria he still have deep respect for northern emirs but Awolowo has no such regards for the Yorùbá traditional rulers in fact he will not prostrate (as the Yorùbá culture demands) before any traditional ruler including the then Ọọ̀ni of Ilé-ifẹ̀ HRH Adébísí Adérẹ̀mí, reduced the salary of the Ṣọ̀ún of Ògbómọ̀ṣọ́ to 1kobo and his boy Bọ̀dé Thomas disrespected the Aláàfin of Ọ̀yọ́ though he paid for that.
So the British noticed all of this that's why they favoured the northerners who had high regards for their own kings.

As for the Igbo man he can only respect you if you have money more than him or weapons to destroy him otherwise you have nothing that could make him bow to what you say no matter the tradition.

We're only challenging dogmas that have been used throughout history.
Madam let me enlighten you!

God's word said in the last days which we are in right now there will be famine not for food but knowledge about God {Amos 8:11} by the time God decides to help those who are hungry and thirsty for truth {Matthew 5:6} like you He will make the truth available but it's only humble people will be benefited not arrogant ones. Zephaniah 2:2-3
So it's not only you that's worried about what's been happening we too are worried but we have found the answer to the questions bothering our minds for long unlike you who just feel it's all rubbish yet you keep seeking the attention of those studying the books! smiley

TheDevilsBride:
Is it only tattoos and piercings that trigger your misplaced moral outrage, lol?
Madam there is a big difference between doing what is wrong in the hidden and doing the same in the public. One doing something bad and hiding it surely lack self worth he or she already knows it's not humane but those doing it publicly are seriously sick because they need special attention for them to know that coming like that into the public makes them unworthy in the society! smiley

A thousand denomination gathering to reason for centuries, lmao.
Highlighted shows you aren't current!

There is well over 41 thousand different religious groups all claiming Christians!

That's why i keep telling you that you guys aren't informed rather you're just protesting.

The book itself says a time will come when many will be deceived by false teachers robbing people of their hard earned money in the name of Jesus and the book told how to unravel the secret! Matthew 7:16-18

Out of all the so called "denominations" claiming they are followers of the man from Nazareth only one has proved to be true with evidence.

So if you with all your research couldn't figure out that then you've been deceiving yourself Ma! smiley

So we say there is someone somewhere who deserves our worship that's why we often gather to reason on what He wants us to do but funny enough people like you who said you've been set free from such thought are still seeking our attention seizing every opportunity to chat with us.

POINT 1
> REASON: the absence of any evidence from religionists and other God proponents.
POINT 2
> EVIDENCE: Untestable prayer hypothesis, failed prophecies, the lack of miracles, and the seamless, unperturbed functioning of the natural world without any supernatural intervention.
POINT 3
Pffft @ attached pic. Having piercings and tattoos is just as unnatural as wearing clothes or using a keyboard, abi did you suddenly forget that you came into the world, butt naked, without any clothing or enhancements, hmm, lmao?
This is all i need! cheesy

Lengthy epistle is a sign of weakness to me so i pick the point you may be using as your power house! wink

Point 1
ATHEISM is the high fence you guys built around you to block faith in God but why do you still seek the attention of religionists? smiley

Point 2
Sound evidence showing ATHEISM can't stand on its own without religion so whenever atheists wants to use their brains is talks talks talks about religion. smiley

Point 3
I'm really amazed how you quickly swept under the carpet the opinion that you can't present any of these persons as your child in the public because it's a sign of failure on your part as a mother! cheesy
Christianity Etc › Re: On The Origin of Evil by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:04am On Feb 05, 2025
This are real atheists body and soul!

Christianity Etc › Re: On The Origin of Evil by MaxInDHouse(m):
Atheism is another tool Satan is using to promote ISOLATION, an average atheist strongly believe in his heart that all religionists are deluded fools so instead of asking for the benefit of faith in God they focus on the confusion found in the world of religion forgetting that this can't be a reason to outrightly condemn faith in God since religion is found in the life of IMPERFECT HUMANS.

So if imperfect humans err in getting the right sense of God does that mean God doesn't exist? The answer is NO!

Therefore it's unscriptural to avoid these lost souls because Jesus said we should go continually to the LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL! Matthew 10:6

You may be shocked why i liken atheists to lost sheep that Jesus asked us to fish out {Mark 1:17} please ask yourself what these people who says they don't believe in God are doing 24/7 on the religion section of a forum having many sections that they can be?
Well don't be surprised that they are feeling lonely!
ATHEISM promotes ISOLATION as i said earlier and the way God created humans we need to interact on what God says about life in general it's like FOOD for our soul {Matthew 4:4} so there's no way a sane person who feels concerned for how people should treat others will not like to share his thoughts on the topic! Malachi 3:16
The real atheists will never like to share his thoughts with anyone because doing so will make him to start reasoning with people who will question his lifestyle.

So if you see anyone claiming atheist but always seeking the attention of people talking about faith know today that they are not real atheists but lost souls! smiley

TheDevilsBride:
Disconnecting yourself from REASON and EVIDENCE.
I will hold unto this!

So isolation is disconnecting oneself from REASON and EVIDENCE.

Question:
What is the REASON for having FAITH in a SUPREME BEING?
Answer:
Because humans are intelligent creatures each having his or her own mindset and in the absence of superior authority there is bound to be disorder hence we all need to agree on one source of guidance not necessarily what we can see but that which will help us all to cohabit peacefully.

Question:
What could be the EVIDENCE that some have found such source of sure guidance?
ANSWER:
Since our aim is to get a sure guidance for peaceful cohabitation any group of persons that has successfully gathered people from all races together and made them to have LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, MILDNESS, FAITH and SELF-CONTROL permeating their gathering should be given the credit because that is what mankind need not building destructive weapons to intimidate or scare people into doing what we think is right!


Please present a REASON and EVIDENCE to support ATHEISM in the same manner if it's not just about promoting ISOLATION!

See the adverse effects of ISOLATION below.smiley

Galatians 5 V 19 to 21 huh
Galatians 5:19~23 shows what they will be promoting among their followers .

For instance the WORKS OF THE FLESH that will be promoted in the world are listed from 19-21 of Galatians 5 while the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit promoted in the gathering of true believers are listed from 22-23 of the same chapter.

So even though the religious leaders are disguising and pretending what is found written in the Bible book of Galatians will prove whether their teachings is from God or from men! smiley
