ravgach: Thank you. Like I said, there is no way we can completely find out God or have complete knowledge of his doings. We shall know these things in the fullness of all things when we have by His Grace made it to eternal life by obedience of scriptures and acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savoir.

Exactly bro..This is the point i was trying to Prove to that JMANO5 guy,but his ignorance and Stup.idi.t.y got the better of him!!
Thats why JW alwaz end up arguing in every home they go to preach...They think they Know,hope someone will help me tell them the Definition of a "F.O.O.L" is one day!!

ravgach: The three Personalities in the Godhead share similar attributes, some of which are as follows:


THE FATHER is referred to as:
1. The God of Power. Psalm 62:11 "...That power belongs to God. "Yours, LORD, is the greatness
and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor..." 1 Chronicles 29:11
2. The God of Wisdom. Proverbs 2:6 "For the LORD gives wisdom..."
3. The God of Glory. Ephesians 1:17 "...the Father of glory..."
4. The God of Truth. Psalm 31:5 "...O LORD God of truth."
5. The Water. Jeremiah 2:13 "For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living
waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."
6. The Lord. Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong unto the Lord Our God..."

THE HOLY SPIRIT is referred to as:

1. The Power of God. Luke 1:35 "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High [/b]will overshadow you...";
2. The Wisdom of God. Isaiah 11:2 "And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom...";
3. The Glory of God. Numbers 11:25,26 And[b] the LORD came down in a cloud…"; 1Peter 4:14 "...for the spirit of glory and of
God rests upon you..." .
4. The Spirit of Truth. John 16:3 "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes..."
5. The Water of life. "He who believes in Me from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke of the Spirit"
6. The Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."


THE SON (JESUS) is referred to as:

1. The Power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24 "Christ the power of God..."
2. The Wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24 "Christ the wisdom of God."
3. The Glory of God. John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory…" "Now, Father, bring me
into the glory we shared before the world began..." John 17:5
4. The Truth. John 14:6 "I am the...truth..."
5. The Water. John 4:10 “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and
he would have given you living water.”
6. The Lord. John 20:28 "My Lord and my God!"

Also check out these few scriptures:

Ephesians 2:18 "For through him (Jesus) we both have access by one Spirit (Holy Spirit) to the Father (God the Father).

John 3:34 "For He (Jesus) whom God (The Father) has sent speaks the words of God; for He (God) gives Him (Jesus) the Spirit (Holy Spirit) without measure."

Acts 10:38 "How God (The Father) anointed Jesus (The Son) of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."

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"

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, THE FATHER, THE WORD (JESUS), and THE HOLY GHOST: and these three are one."

2 Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen."

ravgach: 1}Where did God come from? Isaiah 57:15 "...The High and Lofty One who dwells in eternity."

2}Where have God been b4 he created the universe? Ephesians 1:23 "...the fullness of the one who fills everything in every way."

3}God is Spirit...So how does a Spirit have a Spirit in Him? God is more than just Spirit. He is a Spirit. He is a personality.
His Spirit is His Power. Luke 1:35 "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High [/b]will overshadow you..."; [b]His Spirit is His Wisdom. Isaiah 11:2 "And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom...";
His Spirit is His Glory. Numbers 11:25,26 And[b] the LORD came down in a cloud[/b]…"; 1Peter 4:14 "...for the spirit of glory and of
God rests upon you..." God is Mystery personified. His Spirit is His whole essence!

4} Genesis1:2 Where did the waters{Oceans} that the Spirit of God hovered in come from? Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." In verse 1, God has already made the heaven and the earth. The water was there already as an evidence of life preparatory to the creation of living things. It was from it that dry land appeared in verse 9.

You tried,but you and i know that thats not the answer to the question i asked bro...........

JMAN05: If you mean the complete knowledge of God, then you will be right by saying we cannot know all about God, that doesnt mean that He is a mystery. just like You dont know all about your father, which doesnt make him a mystery. We dont need to know all about Him.



1. that God helped so that the bible be written in amother language by humans, is it not an indication that you must be helped by someone to understand whom God is?

Even bible writers do consult other writings.

2. Your throwing lexicon away shows that you dont understand what lexicon is. the philosophy you are mentioning wasnt invented by you. keep deceiving yourself.



1. No beginning, no end. Psalms 90:2

2. In heaven

3. His spirit is his active impersonal force.

4. in the beginning God created the heavens and earth. gen1:1. the heaven and earth at this time came into existence but formless. the earth and heaven has not been fully created, ie it doesnt have the form we see today. and land(or earth) had never appeared but it is still below the water.

So water and some things have been there but had not been organized.

You could have just closed ur mouth,you know? isnt it a pity,you claim to know God but u dnt know God.................

Funny to Think that God will sit down and be hearing cases as in A court room.....
Once u die,All the sins u ever comitted wil be before u in form of guilt....YOUR OWN GUILT will judge u instantly,[/b]and u will be afraid to even See God...But u cnt see Him,cuz only the Pure in Heart will see God...
The wages of sin is Death....
All of u sitting here and talking of Popcorn even when they have nt been to a cinema b4,i pity una...Alwaz making caricature of Everything....[b]YOUR GUILT WILL MAKE caricature of you too,thats how judgement Works....GUILT is the key!!

macof: lmao am so happy u agree dat the pagans worship God, regardless of names in different languages.
God is God.
But a few comments above you claim the pagans don't know God that it's satan we worship.
Why being hypocrite? Why show your core Christian character of hypocrisy? Lmao it's official

CHRISTIANS ARE TWO MOUTHED HYPOCRITES

Thats untrue bro....
Once You are not worshipping God through the right Way,you are worshipping the Devil....You may have it mind that u are worshipping God,bt bcus u r nt doing it 2ru the right medium,you are Worshipping Devil...
KNOW THIS:
Apart from God and Jesus Christ,Devil is the Next most powerful being alive...Thats what u fail to understand...THE DEVIL HAS GREAT POWERS.....You can imagine him telling Jesus to Bow before him as just a clue...
You believe u are worshipping God,but it is not through the right way...Thats the Point!!

macof: pls can I clarify one thing? what God are you talking about in the bolded? Olodumare?

What does Olodumare mean in English?
Thats how i can clarify u...
In Igboland, GOD==>CHUKWU

macof: I would like to see the Christians answer this questions. Cause all you guys do is run away from.questions

Abi...
It is not for our own Good to start thinking about it,bcuz no matter how hard u try,u wil end up confusing urself...
Its just like a Car or Cellphone demanding to know how the person that built them came about...{am nt demeaning humans to cars,but its an example}...
All the car holds his owner is to make him happy by delivering according to specifications,and then when nt properly working.the owner will decide whether or nt to service the car,depending on how Good it has served him{although God does much more,cuz his love for Mr A is same for Mr B...it just depends on the manner each approached Him}...

JMAN05: and what makes you think am not? pls scrutinize your heart and see whether you are not the one being close minded.



that he is god doesnt make him almighy. so no need to put it God the son. for that will mean that angels are also God the sons.



1. philosophy was what corrupted the true teaching of Christ. The bible warned against this, but so sad this caught many which you ve been a victim.

2. Your God is a mystery to you. i tell you as far as God is a mystery to you, forget eternal life.

John 17:3 KJV
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Human wisdom cant lead you to the knowledge of God, He will always be a mystery to you until you look for Him thru a Godly wisdom.

3. about Awake. it seems like that is the only one you know. ok, tell me, why do you use an english translation written by somebody, why use lexicon, bible dictionary, how did you learn about God, and you ve never known anything about God with the book written by another person?

Oya use your philosophy, go into theodicy and see how the bible will prove you wrong now.

waiting...

Like i said previously, The Perfect knowledge of God remains a mystery,and it is undisputable.
Like i have said in that Jesus being Angel Michael Thread,The greatest aid done to the Bible is to translate it to English,which is God's doing,because,English is the most Spoke language on Earth....In its original form,i wouldnt have understood what the Bible is about,and i would nt be saved;which is nt what God intended..God intended that His words circulate the Earth in a language each will understand..So,get that ur English lexicon to rest.....
The problem is,when God reveals a small atom of Himself to a person,the Person wil think he knows God very well,and starts speaking from that view,forgetting that there are a whole lot of other atoms of God he knows nothing About....
...
Okay,lets get into philosophy..
1}Where did God come from?
2}Where have God been b4 he created the universe?
3}God is Spirit...So how does a Spirit have a Spirit in Him?
4}Genesis1:2,Where did the waters{Oceans} that the Spirit of God hovered in come from?Expecially,since nothing was created yet?
....Do well to answer this and dont dodge anyone,since u claim to know God...

[quote author=Mr.T Anonymous]I can see you have nothing else to say.
I don't need going online to tell the World why I suddenly turned to an atheist.,why I dumped atheism for christianity,so bro,stop trying to force words out of my mouth.
As I said earlier,christianity is a waste of time,just believe in yourself,work very hard,expect calamities to befall you and the most important thing,
Forget about god...
Simple!!![/quote]Your own case is self-denial....Well thats for u...But i know with all ur posts on this thread,u have little faith,and no Trust at all....
If anything,u shud be grateful u are alive...
Many didnt see today...
If anything,u should be grateful u are in one piece...Go to hospitals,go to orphanages and see how ruthless life has dealt with them,yet they thank God that they are alive...You,u are alive,healthy,have hands,eyes,have a phone,live well,browse,and yet you have the mind to say u Once believed in God but stopped believing...Seriously,you dont even know what u know....I think somebody advised u earlier in one of ur statements,u shud heed to it...
Whether You Believe in God,it doesnt make Him less..If u believe in Him,it doesnt make Him bigger.....
One thing is Certain though..God doesnt need human help..Rather,Humans need His help...........GETTING THE HELP IS A PERSONAL CHOICE

GeneralShepherd: In your analogy of a work place, I believe the employer is God, the employee humans right? Job description will be our duty to God abi?

But before I go further, who is Satan in the anology? Where would you classify temptations?

Okay....
Temptations in the analogy would be thoughts like:
**Abeg relax a bit joor,you are working urself out..
**Emeka or Obi is earning more than u,yet u are here wasting ur time everyday,working like a horse..
**Go and ask for increment or promo,when u know u have nt earned that,and when u know those things take a process..
**If u break a particular rule in that company,it wil be a first,and u probably wont get fired...
**When it is in the morning time,when sleep is still too sweet ,your body wil tel u to sleep more,that ur boss wil understand...At the end of the day,u come late..and before u knw it,it becomes a habit...
.....These are the likely temptations,depending on the workplace,and there are much more..,..
....
The devil in this analogy is that thought that always tells you all these,knowing fully well that it wil get u fired....

GeneralShepherd: My greatest struggle in keep my fate in God,is not really my situation,

But the alleged massacre and killings in the bible,do say those were no massacres will be plain dishonesty.

Why allow them to be born in the first place,because God knew he'll kill them anyway before they were born.

He also knew his killing them will someday drive me to atheism,if he knew all these things why do it anyway?

Unless He also predestined me to rot in hell.
Now how am I supposed to keep loving God?

Please don't dismiss these things.

Believe me,i have tried looking at God from different perspectives too...Infact,if the old Testament of the Bible were the only book available about God,i would rather live in my own life,be my own God...But then,God knew many will take Him as a cruel God,who is brutal and ruthless and doesnt care in order to get What he wants...
But then,He sent His son,to show us another side of Him,that loving everlasting God wich we profess today...Jesus throughout His stay on earth was never violent,never hurt anyone{Even when He had the power to}..He even forgave those who killed Him...Tell me,as a human,can u forgive anyone who kills u 4 no reason at all? If given a second chance,u wil like to revenge right?
But Jesus didnt...That doesnt mean that God has changed,just that People were alwaz constantly invoking His Wrath no matter how hard He tries to restrain it...But with Him sending His son to come and show us His other side,He knows we now know What should be known...He doesnt force or impose anyone to worship Him again,but if u will,be ready to do His bidding.......
As for the Will{Mind} of God,i wil open a thread for that as i stated above..

[quote author=Mr.T Anonymous]Who said I didn't misplease myself to please him
It seems like this christianity philosophy has sunk deep into your skull?
For a god to prove he is alive,he has to reaffirm hope in followers-but you christians still believe if you have an obstacle,pray and if he doesn't answer,you conclude god's will is the best.
What is god's will
Do you wanna tell me that Oyedepo buying 4 private jets is god's will?
Or Adeboye climbing the pulpit every sunday shouting Halleluyah,whereas paying huge money on luxuries of a jet,where countless of unemployed youth are in his church?
Is that what you call the will of god?

WHAT A gOD!!![/quote]Well,this shows just how little ur faith and trust is,and how ignorant of God you are...I Now conclude that You dont even know God....If u know God,you wont be saying whatever things you are saying here...
You say u are nt after Materialism,but all your statements are Materialistic in nature...Place ur priorities well bro...Know ur priorities!!
