Like Toyota does not deny and cannot deny that it did not make Anthony Joshua's Lexus. But no where did anybody say that they are responsible for causing the accident that killed his friends.
Nobody, at all.
So, clearly, he is in a very bad way, way beyond the reasonable limits and standard of morality he claims to subscribe to. now you get it. External forces. Satan fell already, it’s been judged already and always roaring, seeking who to devour. Will I allow it devour me, no. How can I evade Satan’s destruction? By simply following God’s commandment and loving God. The thief cometh to steal, kill and destroy. If satan is an external force that is skilled at stealing, killing and destroying, yes, God still created satan. |

So because someone beliefs a certain thing, everyone else should do the same? well, nobody can force anything on anybody. You have your right to decide who you listen to, where you show up, people you mingle with, etc... instead of having issues with people based on their belief, you can hold your own belief strongly and leave others to practice theirs. |

KBdownloads: So your answer to a direct biblical quote is to tell me to drink p*ison and go to hell? That says everything about your ability to defend your position. When you can't address the argument, you resort to death threats disguised as "concern."
I didn't take Isaiah 45:7 out of context, I quoted it directly. If you think I'm misunderstanding it, then explain what it actually means. Show me the context that makes the words '' I create evil" mean something other than what it plainly says.
Instead, you tell me to kill myself and then claim you don't mean to be harsh. That's not harsh at all, it's pathetic. It's what people do when they've lost the argument but can't admit it.
If God is real and good, he should be able to withstand basic questions about his own words. The fact that you respond to scrutiny with threats of eternal torture tells me everything I need to know about the kind of person you are. You've been taught not to think, just to threaten anyone who does.
I asked a legitimate question about a verse in the Bible. You responded by telling me to p*ison myself. I've had somewhat respectful conversations with others in this thread who disagree with me. I will not engage with you further if you can't have a conversation without telling people to p*ison themselves. 1. I like your reply. 2. I apologize for my reply. 3. Let’s make it simple and not complicate issues. If the owner of a Benz product makes a product and the product goes bad, will the owner deny the fact that they created the product? I guess no. They will still agree that they made the product but the product ended up being bad due to some external forces. I think that’s what it’s all about. God said he is sad because he created man because man became evil. Man becoming evil will not make God deny the fact that he created man. Lucifer falling won’t make God deny the fact that he created Lucifer. So God is just a bold and plain personality that took responsibility of his own creation whether it turns good or bad, truth is, he still created all things. Remember everything he created were beautiful and perfectly made. Question is where did the evil come from? Maybe from the fall of man, maybe from sin. God was just being bold to take responsibility. he never created a evil man. Man fell and became evil by disobedience to God. |

Truthseeker10: So if two adult male decide to involve in sexual conduct between themselves voluntarily, is that evil?
lol...you are funny...God provided an ark and the people did not enter and you blame God for their own personal decisions when they had a choice?
Lol...you are so funny as regards the animals....you Claim animals do not possess morality....yet you claim they are innocent and not guilty. Na wa oo
So you're telling us here that God should have forced people to do his bidding and not have freewill and that would be the good thing to do?
So you're telling us here that your person thoughts about a matter is the ultimate standard for good and evil?
What did God predict in Genesis 6:1 that would make pharoah release his people?
If God was Omniscient and saw everything that humans will do even before they were created, How could humans really choose to love him? truth is, God didn’t beg to be loved. He is God, and when you understand this, you will stop stressing yourself. He gave you a free will to choose between life and death. Choose wisely. ✌️ |

KBdownloads: Isaiah 45:7 says: “I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil; I the Lord do all these things.”
I’m genuinely interested in how Christians can read this passage and still claim that their God is a good God. The verse explicitly has God claiming responsibility for not only good but also for evil.
If God created evil, how can he still be called a good God?
At the very least, this verse challenges the idea that God is purely good. It raises the possibility that the suffering and atrocities in the world ultimately originate from God himself, with Satan serving as a convenient scapegoat to preserve God’s image. the name GOD didn’t carry any prefix or suffix, it’s simply says GOD. If you have any issues with God, hypo is still very cheap, get like two sachets and take a gulp. When you arrive at hell, you can beg satan to give you chance to ask or challenge God. I only answered you based on your mindset, I don’t mean to be harsh, thank you. And next time, pls don’t just bring a verse of the Bible out to suit your ego. |

This my guy, not just a guy, but a colleague I knew for almost 4 years now , we share same flat and as 9ja guys we are in good talking time , we eat together, we share our cry together, our fun, aspirations and future, I knew his wife because we talk some times but occasionally , on greetings level , sometimes me and my guy argue about Tinubu and others tribal stuff because he's from the W region, and it always ends in laughters and jokes .. here is the story, I came back one faithful morning from my shift and met him on call shouting, speaking in their dialects, as guy man i knew nah family matter despite i no dey hear the language most time he mix it with English, when he end the call i query to know if everything are alright but he gave me this stance look, fills with anger and regret but he managed to hold back and replied me, yes , we are fine.. i just smile and pass i knew he will never tell me anything at that moment, after few days , i came back from my shift, i jokingly told him, Oga let's go and have some bottles, i chop their money today , there's nearby shop where we normally hang out anytime we win extra money from online betting because we are partners in bet, smile. When we get there, I ordered four cans of beer chilled beer mortuary level , because I knew the story is going to be a very long one because I don't want to miss anything in the name of going to get another cans under Amibo level nah. I sat opposite him , we face each other so I can digest the full story well without asking what did you say... As we emptied the first cans and in the second one , I asked him, yeah, what is the problem the other day you are on phone shouting ontop of your voice as if you won commot clothes, is like your girlfriend want you to give her big Christmas money , he smiles and replied in more mature calmer way, not that, u know me nah , i pressed him further to open up, because the more you cry out the lighter the burden in the heart becomes. He said , well it's family matter but i will sort it out soon. I Sip my beer for long and continue, do you give woman belle , talk now make we know what to do oooo jokingly, because I knew street is tight here, men don't looseguide or have time for opposite gender due to nature of gravity this side , so men are guided, abeg if U have a boyfriend , a husband living outside the country whether nah Ghana or America please take your time and pray for him every 1am morning , wish him well and all the success in life because they are the most faithful partners any woman can find. smiles 😁, back to my story , he laugh and he said ok judge this, do you remember last year I told you my wife was complaining the new apartment my cousin find for her, the toilets are not flushing most especially the master room , I nod like agama lizard yes I remember , but the landlord fix it nah,he said yes , last week she started complaining again and i called the landlord and was threatening him to refund me my rent that i will move my wife and kids to my family house pending the time i will finish mine, 1.5m yearly apartment for that matter o, the landlord angrily told me that its not his fault that the toilet chamber always blocked that he will show me things the plumber found in the chamber that blocked the toilet, can you guess ? , hold your breath I will spill the beans, used (rubber bands) , come on I will not mention the name we have kids in here reading , the name start with C and end with M. about 23 pieces of them, who can guess , i have gift for fastest thinker , some old some new , but all used , he continues, i have confronted her with this evidence but she's busy denying and claiming her innocence, he just lower his head small showing some signs of frustration and regret, but continue after few seconds.. this flats, all are down building and all the apartment there has it own seperate toilet chambers non of them connected, so who put it there , did it fly from elsewhere and stuck there, what is going on , it means someone make use of it , flush it from my toilet, he have being honest with the wife and landlord that he will not renew after the current rent expires. He have informed his family and already planning to travel next month to on emergency, he wiped his sweaty teary face gently, and continue, what on earth woman need I have not done for her, I pays children school fews even before time, I placed her on 100k salary , 300k upkeep for the family, if her parent are sick I take care of them, just last week i gave her money to buy Christmas items for her mother and younger siblings, this guy just broke down in tears, come and see fellow man shedding tears like toddler missing her mother's Bossom , i allowed him , because the more he cry it out the less the burden. After he wiped his face again and as I can see that heavy burden has reduced, I ask him what do you intend to do now , he replies, I will take the kids to the hospital for DNA because I don't want a story that touches hearts in the future, and after that let everyone go his/her seperate ways that he is done... Hmmm the matter tie lappa because I'm equally full of words.. I have tried every possible corner to see if I can bail the cat or connect the story theoretically and exonerate the lady from the allegations, but no way, according to him, she don't have male adult siblings to say they might be the one that always bring girls to the house neither do she has too many single female friends to say they brought their boyfriends there to knack carpentering , or maybe she's into lezi lezi (female GehGeh) , but non are aligning...
Me As special adviser on family matter online branch ,I decided to present the matter to my honourable panel of judges online in-laws for deliberation and online judgement so I can declare the judgement before something went wrong, I asked him when last did you guys met in the other room he said two years ago , but i should not blame him for his absence because he's working under harsh climate here to strive to provide for his family as many, his cassava no dey even rote 360 degree not to think of cheating.. Abeg lemme drop my pen before I burst out in tears because man knows man.. your good and bad judgements are highly welcome
Wish you guys happy new year in advance... Peeeew drop my pen 📝 i am quoting you without reading. END IT, if when I read it and I have a different view, i’ll come back to modify. My comment didn’t fail me, I only regretted reading this. |

Princeflo: They told us memory lives in books. But books burn. Libraries collapse. Archives are rewritten. Memory does not trust paper. Memory lives where fire cannot erase it. Memory lives in stone. In water. In bloodlines. In land that has watched civilizations rise, fall, and deny each other. The earth remembers footsteps. It remembers prayers spoken before language. It remembers when humanity knew itself as one body, not fragments competing for dominance. Why do you think sacred sites exist everywhere? Why do certain lands feel heavy, even when you don’t know why? Because memory settles. It sinks. It waits. And sometimes… it chooses a listener. Not a scholar. Not a ruler. Not a conqueror. A child. Because children have not yet been trained to dismiss what they hear inside. 🌍 If the land could speak, what truth do you think it would accuse us of forgetting? land be like: mr sand, stop calling me a laaaand (in ASA’s voice).

King James Bible Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. quick question for you, do you have any issues with Jesus being God? Did God call you to tell you that human reference Jesus than they reference Him? Did God tell you to tell the world of how bigger he is than Jesus? I am curious to know what is inspiring your research and what you stand to gain from it. #let’s close this chapter once, as I may not reply any further.

Truthseeker10: So is God the father and Jesus christ equal Gods? I really don’t know what you are trying to bring out from being “equal”. If two agree, can two not become one? That was why I introduced ‘trinity’ from the onset. Would have used the illustration of an egg or other fruits comprising the pericarp, endocarp, Seedlings... It takes having thesame spirit with God to be a God. Putting a Benz engine inside a Toyota body doesn’t make the car a Toyota but a Benz. If you ask me, then I will say it’s a Benz wearing a Toyota clothing. If an engine made in 2025 is having an upgraded design than those made in 2005, it is still desame source, prototype, but some upgrades. If you ask me if Jesus is God, my answer is YES. If you ask me if Jesus is equal/one with God, my answer is still yes. (Both having one (source) spirit). If you ask me who is superior, my answer is God. If you ask for wisdom, i’ll tell you that no one access/go to the father, except through the son I.e the only road that leads to the father is the son. When you are done figuring out who is superior, tell me which of the two you can substitute if you don’t agree that they are one. |

Is there a difference between a God and an Almighty God? there are gods. in English, gods are referred to as supreme beings that have supernatural powers of doing things that are beyond the natural. Based on belief, every individual can then decide which one he/she wants to serve and worship. The almighty God that you spoke about which I interpreted as God the father is the isrealite’s God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Moses, Elijah, Daniel, etc... thesame God who was believed to create Adam and Eve and thesame God who was believed to send His only begotten son (Jesus) to pay the debt of death that man embraced in the garden of eden in replacement for eternal life. |

Is it that Jesus had a God he pray to and depend on? Jesus was praying to God the father. It’s not easy to carry the destiny of Jesus as a man, hence why Jesus will not joke with prayers like Christians does today. Jesus was God in man, satan wanted to kill him from birth till cross, so he couldn’t afford to not pray to God the father. Satan is a bastard. |
