An atheist buys an ancient lamp at an auction, takes it home, and begins to polish it.

Suddenly, a genie appears, and says, “I’ll grant you three wishes, Master.”

The atheist says, “I wish I could believe in you.” The genie snaps his fingers, and suddenly the atheist believes in him.

The atheist says, “Wow. I wish all atheists would believe this.” The genie snaps his fingers again, and suddenly atheists all over the world begin to believe in genies.

“What about your third wish?” asks the genie. “Well,” says the atheist, “I wish for a billion dollars.” The genie snaps his fingers for a third time, but nothing happens.

“What’s wrong?” asks the atheist. The genie shrugs and says, “Just because you believe in me, doesn’t necessarily mean that I really exist.”

anyway, have your fun. When I have time I'll pull up some similar jokes about atheists.

That's not the issue here. The issue here is for God to prove to them that he is God and that he reigns supreme If its ok for him to do it that way.  God is not proving to me because I don't doubt his existence. He is my God and I Love Him. You are trying to divert the point. They have asked God to prove himself to them and if God in his wisdom does that and any of them repents, to Him be Glory. But if God sees my prayer as foolish then Its foolish. I cannot be wiser than God in any way forever. so stop your diversionary game.

I am of the same opinion, Anenih stole the whole budget of the ministry of works, obasanjo was bribed by harliburton, abdusalami reduced our external reserves from 40 something billion dollars to  less than 10 billion dollars, GJ's wife was accused of money laundering,  are these people not also thieves?

If God kills you, then the aim of this post would have been defeated because you will go straight to hell and perish which is of no benefit to us as christians. But if he should do this and you repent and serve him and make heaven like i said earlier, then the aim of this post is fulfilled. If God in his own wisdom doesnt do it, that does not mean he cant do it but it could eaither mean that he has given you sufficient reason to believe in him and you refused or he has a better way he can do it. God's way and will is always the best and we bow down to him. Some of you here are responding as if it's a call for God to punish people. I am not doing what I dont know. This is not the first time that God is answering me prayers on behalf of people to bring them to repentance. I am not here for show. NO. If its a call for punishment then my prayer would have been for God to kill you or make you blind till you die. This is not the christain way and God doesnt really answer such prayers because he is a loving God. Our own is to present christ in everyway convincing way to you and if at the end you refuse him, thats up to you. God will record it that we did our best to give you the word. I still pray God to that he brings you unto repentance and salvation so that this messages you are hearing from people of God wont be a judgement to you when you die. GOD IS REAL,HEAVEN IS REAL AND HELL IS REAL. MAY GOD SAVE YOUR SOUL IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

@ mudley
before the fall of man,like the bible said man was made in the image of God,meaning in the likeness of God ,meaning having the same godly atribute.that means God actualy want man to be like him,function and carry out things just like him.
lets talk about after the fall of man.iwant to belive that even after man fell those plans that God had for him in the sense being like him an having hes atribute still is there,meaning man still has all the capacity to still be like God.and still is like God.
WHAT DO YOU THINK

@mudley
i wud rather believe there is a God and die to find out there is none than to believe there is no God only to die and find out there is one.A word is enuff for the wise

Kx:
Is it not clear that he made reference to one and the same person being his father and mentor-Oyedepo?

Thorns:
COCK AND BULL STORY MAN. Lol. lOOKS LIKE U DONT BLIV/LIKE GOD. Ok. LETS HEAR your OWN STORY. WHOSE IMAGE ARE U? LOL LOL LOL

Beautymc:
God is great. Am not only a witness of what God is doing in Winners' Chapel, but a partaker of the blessing. God will always bless my father in the faith (Bishop Oyedepo) and also my mentor. Jesus Christ is Lord.

When humans attempt to use their understanding to comprehend an infinite phenomena, it usually results in confusion.

The questions you posed are a good example of this.
Why cant God be jealous or vengeful? Because of YOU think he "should" be or "shouldn't" be? Why shouldnt  he appreciate praise? If you create something that lives, wouldn't you want it to praise you once in a while for its existence?If you provide and protect  for your creation, wouldn't you want appreciation for that?

The Bible says God is our father, and we are his children. Please tell me what father does not take joy in his child's existence? Tell which father would not want praise and appreciation from his children. Tell me what father would not be jealous if his child starts to worship another man or object as his father. Tell me which father does not punish his children if they disobey the rules he laid down for them to follow.

Men have disowned their children for marrying people they disapprove of, for living lifestyles they don't agree with. Some men have killed their children because they felt they brought dishonour to the family - Whilst no one condones this behaviour, it sure doesn't seem to be classed as some type of enigma.

Why should creation not need a design? Man was created for a purpose. For that purpose to subsist, there has to be a design. The design allows Man to survive and procreate. And the same with animals and plants.

Why cant angels have wings, or fangs or anything. In fact, why should they have bodies, or legs, since they have no need of anything - as they are ethereal beings? And if they have wings, why do their bones have to be hollow? God created everything for his pleasure. Its like asking an artist, who created a picture, why he made that sweeping brush stroke, at that angle, at that location on the canvass and in that colour. He did it because he wanted to - for his own pleasure. Simple. And how can a physical law, apply to a spiritual being?
The point is these question are irrelevant. It adds nothing to the masterpiece, but attempts to take away from it by reducing the creativity involved into a logical process and a physical explanation.

If you only you can understand that the ability of the human mind to comprehend is extremely limited. To even begin to understand, you cannot think with the shackles the physical world has put on you. Unburden yourself, free your mind, expand your consciousness, and meditate. That is when understanding and acceptance begins.

Dude, you're not alone. As for me, I hate white women the most. I still don't have a good reason why (P.S: I'm more straight than my ruler)

The Bible insists that God alone is to be worshipped: “When the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: ‘Do not worship any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them. But the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt with mighty power and outstretched arm, is the one you must worship. To him you shall bow down and to him offer sacrifices. You must always be careful to keep the decrees and ordinances, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods. Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods. Rather, worship the LORD your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.’” (2 Kings 17:35-39).

Jesus, on whom be peace, believed in this, for he also stressed it in Luke 4:8. And Jesus too fell on his face and worshipped God (see Matthew 26:39). Paul knew that Jesus worshipped God (see Hebrews 5:7). Paul taught that Jesus will remain forever subservient to God (see 1 Corinthians 15:28).
