Mainstream Christianity has taught us since we were a child Eve’s sin in the Garden was her eating an apple. Yet, the word apple is not found in the entire book of Genesis. This apple teaching is another tradition of man which makes void the Word of God. Deception in the church should come as no surprise to us. Satan has had a firm grip on the church since times of old and it has only gotten worse.

The truth we are about to discover has been locked away from us, however we can unlock this mystery with the Key of David through the help of Christ.

The book of Genesis documents two specific trees in the Garden of Eden, these are not literal trees (Genesis 2:9). We have the “Tree of Life” which almost every Christian recognizes as Jesus Christ. Then we have the tree of knowledge of good and evil which very few Christians have any understanding of. Common sense tells us trees have no thought process, they cannot be good nor evil. This tree is symbolic of an entity, that entity is Satan himself, he knew good and evil as he was created good, but became evil by sinning in the first earth age (Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14). This is the same tree Adam and Eve were commanded not to eat of (Genesis 2:17). The account of Adam and Eve is in fact a parable, it is also a euphemism substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive, (which is probably why people started using the word apple instead of telling their children what really happened).

Let this be no great mystery to you, the serpent is Satan himself. He plays many roles in God’s Word. Revelation 12:9 documents he is the serpent “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

Just as people do not literally put forth fruit, neither do serpents speak. This is symbolic for Satan, be not deceived!

THE HIDDEN TRUTH
Genesis 3:2-3

2 “And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”

This word “touch” is Strong’s 5060 and it means, “to lie with a woman.” When you “lie with a woman” it means you have sex. The serpent is Satan as we documented and he is going to sexually seduce Eve. Why? Because Eve is the bloodline which Christ the Savior of the world would come through. This would be Satan’s first attempt at polluting the bloodline so Christ could not be born into the world.

Trees cannot make one wise or dumb, they have no knowledge to give. This is merely a parable, a figure of speech. The word “pleasant” is Strong’s word 8378 and it also means “lusting.” Ezekiel 28:12-13 documents, Satan is “perfect in beauty,” very pleasant to the eye and he “hast been in Eden the garden of God.” Satan is the serpent, Satan is the tree of knowledge of good and evil and Satan literally seduced Eve into intercourse in the Garden of Eden.

CAIN AND ABEL WERE TWINS
“Knew” is yet another euphemism. Adam and Eve had sexual intercourse, the subject is she conceived. Eve had stated she received a child from the Lord, those where her words, God did not say that.

Genesis 4:2

2 “And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.”

“Again” is Strong’s word 3254 and it means to “continue.” She continued in labor, and gave birth to Abel. Cain, Satan’s son and Abel, Adam’s son were fraternal twins, they were brought forth from the same labor. We will document that further from God’s Word. Check with your medical doctor, fraternal twins can come from two different fathers in one pregnancy, this is called “superfecundation“.

Notice, Cain and Abel reached the age of maturity at the same time by their sequential offerings, documenting they were in fact, fraternal twins.The word “serpent” is Strong’s word 3789 in Greek and it means “especially Satan.” The word “beguiled” is Strong’s word 1818 in Greek and it means “to seduce wholly” when you wholly seduce a woman it means you had sex with her. The serpent, Satan wholly seduced Eve thereby removing her virginity and impregnating her.

AntiChristian:
so it should have been "Ask and you will be given what is due to you!"

AntiChristian:
But this actually goes against Matthew 7:7 Ask and you shall be given, seek and you shall find...

AntiChristian:
I'm very sure you have a carry over lists of unheard prayers from years back...

Even Jesus and Paul's prayers were not answered. So why do you think yours will?

leke12:
well my question is how did you know is Jesus? dont tell me he is that British man pic that played the role of jesus movie we always see around

Let this stir up some godly fear and work repentance in you.

TESTIMONY OF A BROTHER WHO DIED AT A FELLOWSHIP CAMP GROUND BUT LATER SENT BACK BY JESUS WITH A MESSAGE.

I got a message today that not only greatly shook me to my vert foundation,but also COMPELLED me,to re-examine my life HERE,in the light of ETERNITY!I plead with you to kindly go through.It might turn out to be the greatest favour you'll ever do yourself here!
����������⌛⌛⌛⌛�

AN ACCOUNT OF MY TRIP TO HEAVEN WITH JESUS: THE URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE MASTERBy the special grace of God, I came across the gospel of Jesus Christ some years back. While confessing my sins on my knees in prayers, pleading for forgiveness with faith in the BLOOD of Jesus Christ, Jesus showed me mercy and saved my soul (I became born again). I pressed forward in prayers; He sanctified my soul and later baptized me with the Holy Ghost and fire.



On Thursday, July 30, 2015, I heard an audible voice that said to me, “You will embark on a journey from which you might either return or not.” This happened right in the Tabernacle while I was praying on my knees, just immediately after the Faith Clinic by my District Superintendent (DS) during the Worker’s Conference that preceded the recently concluded annual camp meeting of The Apostolic Faith Church at Faith City, Igbesa, Ogun State, Nigeria.



Thereafter, I began to have some strange feelings of sickness in my body that made people to ask what happened to me. In faith, I replied, “All is well.” At 12:02am on Sunday, August 2, 2015 as I was sleeping in the dormitory where I was lodged, an unseen hand woke me up and I heard the same audible voice again, this time telling me to go to the tabernacle to pray. At this time, I was so sick and feeling as though my head was spilt into two.


Owing to this, I started whispering some prayers as I lay down. After much reluctance on my part, I heard the same voice again saying, “Go to the Tabernacle and I will heal you.” In obedience, I managed to get up and went to the tabernacle. On getting there, I wrote a prayer request asking God for healing. I had no strength to kneel down again but could only manage to lie down at the altar to pray. I beckoned to a nearby usher to get me any minister of God around to pray for me. At that point, it seemed the end had come.



I remembered the usher came back alone, knelt down beside me and started praying for me. (It was after the whole incident, the usher later narrated to me he did that at the bidding of the minister he saw and that on his way back to me he heard the audible voice of Jesus that I sustained satanic arrows attack). As he was praying for me I realized my strength was reducing and my voice going down gradually as I was answering “Amen” till I could not utter anymore word. That was all I remembered while I was here.



Then I discovered I (my spirit) was moved out of my body; and as my spirit stood up, I saw my body lying down flat on the floor with shot arrows before my body. As I turned away from my body, I saw the Lord Jesus standing beside me, full of glory and was wearing a glowing face, so glowing that I could not look at His face. He told me to look into the darkness at western part of the tabernacle (West Pavilion side). I saw some people inside the darkness shooting arrows to my body that was lying on the floor (then I realized the sickness was as a result of the attack).



I then anxiously asked Him who those firing these arrows were, but He told me I did not have to know them. In a twinkling of an eye, we were out of the tabernacle and in a very different atmosphere; the place was filled with glory: beautiful houses, awesome scenery, more than words could express. I immediately knew we were in Heaven.



Jesus then took me to a very beautiful house that I can not describe with words. That was the second time He would take me to that particular house. (The first incident was on an earlier account when He took me to Heaven). There I saw people that wore white garment like myself moving toward the other side of Heaven together with me.



Then I came to a river in front of me, and as I tried to cross over, I could not while others that were wearing same white garment did freely. The more I tried to, the more difficult it became and Jesus was looking at me. That prompted me to request Jesus to let me cross over. But He said in His response that “those that crossed over can not come back to the earth”. I then started pleading with Him to let me cross the river so that I would not come back to earth in order to escape the pains and struggles I was going through on earth.



Then, the Lord Jesus told me He would not allow my corpse to be taken back home from camp meeting so that my demise may not drive people away from Him. At this time, I did not remember I have a wife, children or any earthly possessions.When Jesus would not permit me in spite of my persistent pleading to let me cross over, I reminded Him of my sufferings on earth. That was when Jesus then told me He permitted everything to happen to me. (Things have been so rough for me generally from my childhood and that continued even after I met Christ; from one battle to the other).




The Lord Jesus went further to quote Revelation 13:7, “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindred, and tongues, and nations.” To my joy, He also added Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” After realizing the seriousness of His stand not to let me over, I asked for the Late Rev. Soyinka, the second Africa Overseer of The Apostolic Faith Church. He replied, “That is my true servant and in here (Heaven) with me”. I further asked of our third Africa Overseer, the Late Rev. Paul Akazue.



He told me he is equally with Him in Heaven, but having sustained injury, He had to take him early in order for His work not to suffer.In another twinkling of an eye, we were back in the Tabernacle on the campground and the Lord took me to different lodging centers for campers. Our first place of visit was the lodging place of my DS where we met him praying on his knees in the night (this gladdened my heart). We left there for the lodging dormitory upstairs, above the “Information Centre” where I was lodged with other ministers.



We met people sleeping physically, but many, according to Jesus, were more deeply asleep spiritually. Jesus pointed to my pastor who was physically sleeping but not asleep spiritually and said; “he is mine”. We thereafter found ourselves (Jesus and I) back in the Tabernacle. Meanwhile, we never walked to any of those places we went to, the movement was at the speed of thought. There were people praying very fervently in the Tabernacle but the Lord Jesus said something very sad. He said people were not ready for His coming.



I was surprised at that and now asked about those people that were praying. In His response, He said MANY OF THEM ARE INSIDE THE HOUSE AND CRYING TO HIM FOR RESCUE WHILE THEY ARE DENYING HIM ACCESS TO DO THE RESCUE BY LOCKING THE DOOR OF THE ROOM WHILE HE (JESUS) IS WAITING OUTSIDE TO DELIVER THEM BUT COULD NOT ENTER SINCE THE DOOR IS LOCKED.


Jesus also added that people today are particular about "all these things" that He promised would be added effortlessly if they would seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness. (Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”).He went further to say many had their names initially written in the Book of Life but because of the cares and pursuits of the things of this world, they forget to prepare for His coming, and their names are removed from the Book of Life.




They do not remember HOME again but are rather praying for earthly things, "all these things", while forgetting to continually “seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness”. Interestingly, He said He still have few who are renewing and retaining their names in the Book of Life daily by washing in His blood. He now added that all things are set in Heaven for His coming but only few are ready; just like a drop of water in a bowl.



Jesus then specifically said He is sending me back to the world for a particular purpose: to tell people that HIS COMING IS VERY, VERY IMMINENT AND AS A MATTER OF FACT LESS THAN ‘1 HOUR’. He also gave me a particular message for my wife (that was the moment I remembered I was married and had children). I then replied Jesus that how would that be, since I am not a pastor, neither an overseer nor a man of many words? The Lord Jesus replied and said He would back me up whenever and wherever I am to give the testimony. Jesus added that there would be three categories of people that would listen to my testimony.


The first would hear the word and spread it, the second group will hear and amend their ways and He will save them, the third group will disregard the warning and perish. Jesus Christ was greeting and congratulating me but I did not answer since I was not happy just because He wanted me to come back. Having noticed that in me, HE said, “I will be with you.”At last Jesus asked me to return to my body that was lying on the floor on the altar in the Tabernacle. As I was reluctant, He instructed me the second time and I entered. That was when I woke up and started crying.


I was still seeing Jesus Christ standing as I stood up physically and I noticed the headache and the whole sickness had disappeared. Jesus Christ later vanished from my sight while I was sharing the testimony with the same usher that prayed with me. I traveled back home to Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria that very Sunday.

I was surprised to later hear that my DS said in his sermon that very day that Jesus told him the name of many have been removed from the Book of Life but promised to deliver them if they would repent and pray. It was also mentioned in his subsequent words of admonition during the campmeeting that many are half-dead spiritually and pursuing material things in their prayers. This confirms the spirit of God to be one.

IT COULD HAPPEN IN A MOMENT FROM NOW. If you haven’t given your life to Christ, or already derailed in your focus, there is no better time than NOW to make amend and right the wrongs! Please pray and make a decision today. Which of the three groups you want to belong? I plead with you to please be part of those that will amend their ways and also partake in sharing the message.

AntiChristian:
Jesus says a lot about prayer, and he makes big claims for it.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7).

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24).

He who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do (John 14:12).

Apologists say that Jesus isn’t like a genie, but they need to reread their Bibles. Jesus really does say, “Ask, and ye shall receive”—it’s in John 16:24.

He says it without caveats. That promise has been tested uncountably many times, often by desperate people, but if Jesus answers, it’s indistinguishable from chance.

Even Jesus' and Paul's prayers were not answered. Check the link below: https://www.nairaland.com/5611079/jesus-paul-prayed-christians-unity

ALAGOGO007:
One of the recent trends among Nigerian pastor once its the new year is releasing prophecy list for the year, although most of the prophecies don't eventually come to pass.We have seen instances where some renowned so called men of GOD made some warnings about impending dangers and some new breakouts of deadly diseases which never saw the light of the day.

As if that is not enough, right now we have a crowd of them, just as you would think its a competition. Everyone now claims to have a message from the same God. If most of the messages or prophecies are the same , we might be compelled to believing they are true. But different messages from GOD to the same nation and individuals who could possibly be lying, GOD? No! The Bible said in Hebrew 6:18 “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie…” In 2 Corinthians 13:1 the bible says... This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. Now, what happened when we don't have the same prophecies from two to three witness, who then is the liar?

If God cannot lie, who lied? It means the prophets lied for their prophecies not coming to pass or probably it was never a prophecy, just a prediction. Deuteronomy 18:22 said: “When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”

This is my conclusion beware of these so called business men calling themselves servants of God, if you are confused about any issue of life pick your bible and meditate or rather just talk to him directly and stop been a slave of the cross.

AntiChristian:
Don't derail the thread! Please if you can't join the discussion of the OP just avoid it.

I am not confused. You are!

my wife said she dreamt a tree wanted to fall, and I guided her and our children to a safe place, in that place, there was a riot, but I took them to a safe place, the tree fell down,
in that same dream people told her I eloped with another woman, and that's why I told them to hide, people were mocking her, she wanted to curse me in the dream, for abandoning her, she could not, she said she was weeping and praying that I am loosed from the woman, then she woke up.

second dream, I was to board a plane transporting cash, as thats my job, but when I arrived, the plane was taking off, the pilot refused to open for me, I went back home, later that plane crashed, and the contents spilled everywhere. with casualties,

PLEASE I NEED INTERPRETATIONS

Daniel058:
Just don't understand if God answer prayer for real.. whenever I pray , I feel like am truly communicating with With God, and like he's listening to my prayers but at the end ,I see no results.....


I have read so many things about God like how he loves us , that he's a merciful God how he sends us guiding angels to protect and How Jesus died to set us Free. And that by the mentioned of Jesus name , every knee must bow. I have tried all my life to live a decent life style.


But at the moment , I can't tell if God answers prayers,am doubting if he exists at all or we are being deceived with folk tales.


Am just confused..

BroOptimist:
Whether it's Christmas, Christianity, easter or new year festivals. They are all paganism. They are biblical baseless. There's no single proof or evidence that support them in the Bible. Just as there's no single verse in the Bible where Jesus has ordered anyone to be going to church whether on Sundays or Saturdays. As the pastor Oluoma has rightly said, everything that Christans do are NOT in the Bible, simply because, the religion(Christianity) was not founded by God or Jesus himself, rather it was founded by one pathological liar called Saint Paul. Jesus never seen any Bible, neither has ever attended any church when he was on this surface of the Earth. Hell no! Quote me anywhere o!

GoodBadandUgly:
I make a prophecy that people in the comment section will complain about how this will create a diversion of the holy books from the original, then they will go back to read their King James Version, New International Version, New Revised Standard Version, The Living Bible or any of the existing translations. The book is a translation of a translation of many more translations
Open your eyes Nigeria, the same way the Europeans did it for us is the same way China is doing to manipulate and control those who hold beliefs dearly.
Your witnessing manipulation and indoctrination in plain sight!

Vintax:
Brethren i want to know what you think about this,God once told me what he want to use me to do in ministry on earth but reminded me that if i mess up he has a back up,i have now backsliden and no more in touch with him,i want to return to him but i fear he may has gone to use his back up,please what should i do now:continue in sin that separates me from him or return to JESUS?

AntiChristian:
And yet again another insinuation about God. Where did you see it in the bible that God was ok with the actions of the daughters of lot. That story only made it clear that even when Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of sin, man still continued to sin.

Obviously you will blame God for the father that raped his daughter, or for the Thief that killed, or the kidnapping everyday.

God does not pull the trigger, man does. It was so in the days of old and is still the same. Did God whisper in the ears of Lot's daughters. You keep talking about the history of the Israelites. If you concentrate less on hating God and focus more on the history of this people, you might actually see how everyone on earth is connected right from the first man. All you read in the old testament was a generation tree that grew up to the kings of Israel.


From the OT, the Lord is shortsighted! He saved Lot and his daughters from homosexuals only for them to be blessed in incest!
.
Abeg! Throway that book!

AntiChristian:
The old testament can't be evil because it also contains prayers. If you call the old testament evil, then you refer to the history of Nigeria and all the countries around the world as evil.

There are the good, bad and ugly. Everyone's act will be recorded on earth. Nothing we do is hidden and that is what the old testament tells us.

The old testament is a compilation of books by different authors..what is your concept of evil? Do you expect the writer to lie about the occurrences that happened thousands of years ago



Go straight to the point. Just say the OT is evil and is not a scripture but a history book!

AntiChristian:
What lessons can you derived from this passage of Genesis 38 bearing in mind that
2Tim.3 Verses 16 says


Now you quote a new testament verse for an old testament book. Like I said, the book of Genesis and the other books in the old testament talks about the account of man's history, from the first man to the sons of Abraham. Genesis 38 talks about the history of Judah who was one of the 12 sons of Jacob.

History has no lesson, it is a story that comprises of the good, bad and ugly. You can either accept the truth or keep looking for reasons to avoid seeing the obvious. You can lift up uncomfortable parts of the bible, but you will only show how much you lack wisdom in understanding what history is about.

Is there anything you have learnt from Africa's history, just like we have the wars, independence, military takeovers in our time. The people of old also faced this issues. The writers of these books were like our vanguard today, telling account of incidents that they witnessed in their time.

I don't know what lesson you are looking for in a history of a tribe but God help you.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

AntiChristian:
OK, How did this happen?

Good, now you ask. How did God put him to death? There is no account of how he died in the bible, but that verse talks about what the writer knew of the incident or story. It was believed that his death was a punishment from God because he did without leaving an heir

So you mean this verse below is a lie?

No it was not a lie but it goes to show you that the story is about the history of the people of Judah. The culture then was that a man's legacy was his children. When Er died, his brother was asked to marry is wife as it was their custom. Now you see that the whole chapter you read was concerning the tradition and culture of those people.

1. But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death. Gen 38 vs 7

2. But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death

Again, it means Onan died childless. In his bid not to give Tamar children for his brother, he ended up without children before his death. The writer believes he was punished and again based on their culture and believe

also. Gen 38 vs 10

Why didn't she start from the part the pastor requested for the number and she refused...she removed that part cos it isn't true. Foolish gal...that curse would follow her cos she has done something bad to that man of God...saying number...number kill u dia..animal

LordReed:
The bible says it was to fulfil a prophecy so was it fulfilled?

gensteejay:
How do you separate a house from its foundation?

Yes you can seperate a house from its foundation and I don't mean literally. It's like a child with a proper upbringing who grows up and neglects his training and becomes somebody else. Christian faith is about love. Now, how do you spread love in a world full of hate? You can't blame religion. Our Constitution is there but people still break laws.

A religion, like Islam, was built on violence and spread by the sword. How do you separate violence and terrorism from Islam, when its founder propagated the religion through wars and bloodshed?

I don't know much about islam except the little I've read in their holy book. So I can't speak about the violence and bloodshed.


How do you separate Christianity from the Bible, a book that encourages slavery and colonialism, anger and genocide (as exemplified by Yahweh)?

Like I said the bible is about history and prophecy. When you look at the time of the Israelites it is not different from our world today. Countries and nations fight for power and territory. God did not put the Israelites in slavery. He did not knock at their enemies door and them over. Their actions led them to their situation. They had neglected their God, and the power he would have given them was not given because they did not bother to ask for help. It's the same with our world today, the generation of Israel could have sounded like you questioning the existence of God especially when they heard it's some old generation Abraham telling bedtime stories.

War has been a part of man's survival in a brutal world. God does did not fire any bows and arrows. He did not massacre anybody. The crimes of men should be held according to the hands that commited it. When a person is sentenced to death for murder, does the court kill the devil? At least most people say, its the devil that made them do it. Religion never killed anybody.

The new testament, did the apostles carry a bow and arrow? They were killed by who? The people. The powerful government came after Jesus when he heard a king had been born. He thought someone was coming for his throne and killed every new born. Was that God or religion? So you need to separate the crime from the faith. It is man that holds the weapons.



Only an indoctrinated fellow doesn't recognize the fact the books humans read and the personality of the gods they worship influence their character and personality.

I wake up in the morning, I can decide to have my bath or not. Nobody is stopping me. I have free will. The bible talks about love, the human emotions carry jealousy, envy, greed, gluttony, everything the bible talks against. The words of the bible won't stop anyone from doing anything, you can choose to listen or you can go ahead and sin. The gospel is clear, repent and be saved. I don't see how that influences anyone negatively. The bible says, when someone slaps you turn the left cheek. Tell me when you throw the punch in response where did you get that from? Definitely not the bible. But the law of Israelites, not God? An eye for an eye.




If your god is vindictive like Yahweh, you would adopt the same behavior if you're a strong believer.

God is not vindictive, I see nairalanders cursing God everyday, none of them has been struck by lightning. If God is was really vindictive like you believe, you would not survive opening this thread. Humans are the ones with emotions, they think of revenge. Like I said violence is attributed to man, for power, position, wealth and women not religion unless it is profitable to them.

If your god loves killings and blood like Allah, you would also love violence like core Muslims in the North and Arab countries like Saudi, Qatar, who fund terrorist groups.

God has never killed anyone. He has never shed blood but he protects his people. I don't see God terrorising anybody. I only see human beings terrorising themselves.

Forget Yoruba Muslims; most are not core Muslims. People that really practise the religion as their Prophet did in his lifetime are the northerners and Saudis and co.

Everyone is prone to be an extremist..the only difference is we make different choices..some are killers others are not. It is not God or religion that carries the weapon but man.

gensteejay:
Ok. Where in my write-up did I say God doesn't exist?

God has nothing with religions, and all religions are man-made. Anybody with a basic level of intelligence can arrive at this simple conclusion by studying holy books of religions and their histories and then applying logic and intuition to everything.

gensteejay:
It is you who need to do more research about NDE and your religion.

This is a website that contains thousands of NDE stories, detailing the experiences of people that have gone through the phenomenon: https://www.nderf.org/Archives/NDERF_NDEs.html

Now, do your research using this resource (the website) and come back here to tell us how many of those people had a near-death experience and converted to your religion.

I know most of you, Yahweh's slaves, don't have the mental capability to do rigorous research about your religion like OP has done and ask questions about the trash in the Bible, you have been fed with since childhood.

It takes a certain level of intelligence to do real self-evaluation and self-criticism (which I encourage you to do), one which religions forbid.

I wonder why Christians and Muslims can't see that reading the fake and doctored stories in Qur'an and the Bible seriously reduce one's intelligence, since you are not allowed to use the head and reason about what you read critically.

Anon9876:
BEFORE COMA
I have a medical condition, and of recent I went into coma. Before this happened, I was a Christian but I was already questioning a lot of things in my head. I was born in a Christian home, joined all the groups I was supposed to join in church when I was a kid back at home and I really studied the Bible. I started questioning a lot of things when I was 13 but the children pastor would always tell me to just believe and not question god. If I’m going to live my life committed to a god, dedicated to a faith, why then would I ‘just believe’ and not ask questions.
So I kept going, stopped asking questions and just believed. Continued going to church with my parents, still believed in prayer and all that.
Now I am a grown woman and still, a lot of things don’t make sense. Before I went into coma, I was really researching papers written by atheists and watching a lot of videos on atheism and deism. In my mind, I already knew there was no god and even if he existed, he doesn’t care.


My COMA EXPERIENCE.
I heard people rushing towards me as I slumped, then there was darkness but I was still hearing faintly- and then, silence. I couldn’t see anything, I didn’t remember shutting my eyes, I didn’t hear anything. I was just there, stuck in a dark place, my brain wasn’t functioning because I was thinking about anything, I was just there. Life stopped. And life only continued when I woke up and saw light. It felt peaceful, felt like I went on a break but I wasn’t even there. It felt like my life was paused and it only continued when I opened my eyes. If it was death, I would have just remained like that. In eternal darkness and silence and ever since I came out of coma, death wasn’t as scary.
I think it’s safe to say there’s no afterlife, everything we’ve been told is nothing but pieces of man made stories joined together. Once you are dead, you are dead. Nothing like heaven or hell. You go back to the darkness and silence you were before you were born. There is no god taking you to heaven anywhere, and of course, no hell.
I had a near death experience and these are my conclusions.
