Have you ever wondered why we grow old and die despite scientific findings that our cells are capable of renewing themselves?The moon has no atmosphere but the earth has with the right amount of gases for us to breathe..why?Observe very well Do not insects ,fish ,land animals and humans come from living parents?Nothing living comes from a rock?Therefore producing something that has life requires a source that is alive..Only belief in God allows for human life to have a satisfying purpose.For instance suppose your child’s grandmother or and old schoolmate dies can you convincingly explain to your child why death exists at all. My brother God Dey ooo, the way witches and wizards exist..Try watch discovery or National Geographic and look at the world under the oceans,the species of life and believe they all came by chance.Which artwork is not the product of an artist? 2 Likes |

udoji2021: join my Facebook to see more write ups about God, Emeka Oranye I am a testify about the reality of God. First of all let me answer your questions 1) My brother to be frank there is nothing to enjoy in this life, i am living example. I have tested most of the things you see as life my brother there is nothing there only destruction and your view on enjoying life will only help to satisfy your which will eventually lead you to hell, let me tell you hell is not meant for men but Satan and his agent Matthew 25:41. So if you end up in hell you choose hell for yourself don't blame God please, you have enough time now to repent. 2) You are being misled by evil spirits which I was once like you it only when you give your life to Jesus Christ that you will understand how terrible you were in the world, bro without giving your life to Christ you will surely suffer till eternity. 3) God will judge everyone According to his deeds, whether you believe in God or not it wouldn't change God's position as God so you better obey him for your own good. 4) Every of the scripture is word of God and must be trusted. You need to repent that is the only thing you lack, once you give your life to Jesus Christ your negative thinking about God will automatically change, thanks. |

ephraim18:Do you realize that you cannot know God if you dont even ask yourself these questions? So you ought to ask yourself. Are you worshiping the same God that created your mind and brain and declared it all good and ready to use or are you worshiping instead an idea of Him probably fed you by Mogs and other false teachers and prophets out there? |

It is only FOOLS that say "There is no GOD" Think! My Brother!! Who created the Heavens and the Earth? My brother think! Who created the SUN, MOON and the STARS? My brother think! Who created Human Being? Do you metamorphous from monkeys? See, We have come, we have go we have light, we have darkness we have man and we have woman we have good and we have bad we have Truth and we have Lies we have White and we black we Angels and we have Demons we have GOD and we have Satan Anybody that tells you there is no hell fire is ignorant. GOD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from Heaven. Go to Jerusalem, you will see locations of scenarios played in the scripture. GOD is real and True, JESUS CHRIST is real and True, Satan is real and True, Angels are real and True and Demons are real and True. Let me ask you this question, Do you know and believe that coven and witchcraft exist? Do you know and believe that mermaid exist? Do you know and believe that Witchcraft Doctors exist My brother, do not be deceived, the scripture is GOD's word. One day the trumpet will sound, JESUS CHRIST with his Angels will descend from Heaven and you will see him with your eyes, even those that pieced him with sword by the side will see him. So, study your Bible and know GOD by yourself and for yourself. Shalom! |

melexchi:The problem is clearly from your comprehension of what is written. You are told from the beginning that Death implies a return of man - mind, body and soul - to dust. A reasonable question you should have asked if when and how did Judgment come in for folks who are dead... I mean there is no understanding God without applying that brain that He carefully designed and built to His specification and even declared good afterwards. |

kingxsamz: You are here again making accusation on what you dont know anything about. If you are asked to explain now, you will disappear. I know you are trying to develop skill to be critical and feel good among those who criticize the scriptures, but you see, you need to be studious and read well so that you wont appear shaky. When you cant explain or defend your utterances, you will be taken as not serious in discussion. That is the training i am giving you here. Because, If you are asked to explained above now, it will become a mountain. Why is it so easy for you to rely or movies and stories you read than rely on your own proper studying and knowledge. Please change your ways. |

The question is letting us mke our own choices for the most part could very well be part of his plan. I only described a scenario that accommodates both our free will and God's omniscience. I never opined it is certainly the case. And please we only try to describe God based on our experiences. In terms of God being all-knowing, we cannot fathom the very depth of it or what it entails in it's entirety. You may want to provide further explanation on what oyu mean by God indeed knows all things and not simply all possibilities and their outcome. Cos for one knowing all possibilities and their outcomes can only be divine or a divine impartation. Kobojunkie: |

FirstbornWds: How can a call demanding the inspection of the crime scene, examination of the conduct of the primary suspect Eve, the same way everyone here has been playing detective and lawyer for chidinma and the judgement of The Judge Who Sees more than we do, be bad, especially as the op asked many foolish questions? If he wants the Pure Truth, he should be willing to beat under the bushes with hand gloves, evidence bags and all to find it. But, if he wants other people to do the work and just report the answer to him as a typical Nigerian youth, then he should be ready to receive lies and bear the consequences because he chose to be lazy rather than find the truth for himself. |

udoji2021: This brings me question on why he allowed Satan to decieve man, Satan didn't deceive man, Satan deceived the woman (Eve). Adam decided to fall with his wife because of the love he has for her than watch her being destroyed. 1 Timothy 2:14 (KJV) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Why was he also angry since He knew beforehand of what will happen? He was disappointed in man. From the beginning, God made every animal in twos but made only Adam and left Eve inside Adam because he knew what would happen after Eve is created. Genesis 1:27 (KJV) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. By not separating Adam and Eve, God gave Adam time to rule the earth and name all the creatures. After God saw the loneliness was too much for man, he brought Eve out from his ribs but he already had a plan in place to redeem man. 1 Peter 1:20-21 (KJV) Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. Also see Ephesians 1:4-5 and Romans 8: 29-30 1 Peter says that God has ordained Christ to be the lamb before the foundation of the earth but manifested him in the latter days. Then the consequent punishment, was it really justified? Yes because Ezekiel 18:20 (KJV) The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. My question is; 1) why not just enjoy your life even if it means doing bad things to enjoy life? If you can't enjoy life, why not kill yourself and rest to avoid the sufferings? There's life after death so be careful for every action. Romans 14:12 (KJV) So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 2) Even if there is life after death, what if there is no suffering cos God may decide to give everyone peace after death. Romans 14:12 (KJV) So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Matthew 24:35 (KJV) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 3) Those that didn't hear anything about God, what is their fate? They will be judged according to their conscience. Did they do good? Did they love their brother ? Matthew 22:37-40 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 4) which of the scriptures is to be trusted? 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: May God forgive my ignorance if what I just wrote is bad and punishable. It's good to seek answers. May God open your eyes of understanding. 1 Like |

I tire o with all these explanation. Each religion claiming superiority over others. Because our forefathers were not able to put down their own religion on paper that is why it is regarded as evil. To some Africans, everything African is evil. MaxInDHouse: |

TripleOh7: First, you haven't even read the Quran to justify what you just said regards killing people of other faith for Jihad. That's a big misconception people have. Killing people so you can get your place in heaven, getting 7 or 70 virgins as reward for killing others, and all sorts of things like Jihad. You haven't even stated any contradictions regards the Quran. You stated two things killing others, then women which are two different things. But you stated that of the bible clearly. Africans blacks do not read, they only listen to religious teachers, they don't have time reading. That's why they can be fooled easily. You heard, you never read the Quran itself, then you shouldn't say it so you won't mislead others. I don't want to discriminate, but go look at the whites, they create time to read and not to listen to what people say. So they conclude which book or religion answers their questions. That's why a specific religion is stated as the fasted growing religion in the world. It's growing faster in Europe, America, than the said african countries. Try watch this video, it's a historian, journalist who specializes in america politics, history and religion. Gary Wills .. you will learn from it. It's a sincere view of his research. Though some of his perceptions is not right. Just a few that is not noticeable. But 95% is goo Anyone can watch. You can view on youtube reduce resolution to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6NWfVWxqSM |

saintmm:That is a bloody lie and you know it! That book was purposely written by hands of humans, in human language, to be comprehended by human minds for God's very own reason and that reason is that we use our human understanding, the very one He, God gave to us, in understanding His creation and all of the Knowledge that is His, including that which is written in the Bible. Yes, that is what God wants, for you to start with even the human language comprehension skills which he bestowed on you in your attempt at understanding Him and His Truth. Jesus Christ taught this same to you , even in Parables -Matthew 25 vs 14 - 30 -, He declared that only to who use the understanding they have been given will more understanding be given. From those who do not use that understanding, will even the little they had be taken away. Your bible is meant to be read the same as you would any book out there and comprehended in much similar way. |

benji93:If the choice we make are limited then it's not freewill. My child wants to eat rice but I have him two options, beans or yam. I know he's either going to choose beans or yam, that's definitely not freewill. Donts even use that quantum physics analogy for me, u ain't talking to a dummy here. There are times when the outcome are totally different from the number of things u have predicted. Secondly in quantum physics the possible outcome are predicted or guess, not known. If u use this quantum physics analogy to relate to God, u can simply say God doesn't know our outcome but just guess n predict which will not always be right. I should be asking you what God plan is because u are the believer here. |

udoji2021: Look at it from this angle 1) You go to church and you're instructed to keep quite as you're in the presence of God; the most high! Meanwhile the Pastor is right opposite of you sitting or standing at a position or on a platform higher than yours 2) you give routine and consistent offerings, tithe, first fruit etc as part of the church service activities and doctrines.......the pastor buy properties, furnish the church building, buy expensive cars and utilities......and he/she says God is blessing him/her; which is why he/she is looking fresher, healthier and progressing in the Lord! Hope you get the gist ? |
