FRANCISTOWN:Without God there is no rational meaning and purpose to life. The problem of Nigeria and indeed the whole humanity is that they reject God and as a result brought consequences such as what you are seeing today. |

AkinwaleJJ: You on your own faced me and attacked me now I have answered you, you are complaining that I attacked the op, forgetting, you you did the same. So you have nothing to say. And of course you jws are both children of Satan, so we understand that you people will house God's enemies as Jehosaphat did and nearly died because of it. |

LordReed: Because before upgrade, comes God's fulfillment of all His Promises and as I have told you even years before now, I found and entered into the promises of God. |

LordReed: I told you before about 2 years back (I think). |

Dtruthspeaker: Why do you think Jesus was called "the friend of sinners" ? Well for your information it simply means Jesus doesn't judge anyone based on their feelings towards God. Due to hardship and unpalatable conditions people find themselves it's normal for mortal man to raise complaint against the God you're preaching about. That's why Nathaniel spoke harshly against Jesus when his brother introduced Jesus to him, Nathaniel said: “Can anything good come out of Nazʹa·reth?” John 1:46 Now let's reconsider the OP's question again: "Can anyone tell me just one usefulness of God?" So if Jesus of Nazareth calmly address the issue raised by a fellow Jew who supposed to know it's written in their scriptures that the Messiah Christ will be called a Nazarene {Matthew 2:23} then how come a so called Christian can't calmly address what the OP raised someone who knows little or nothing about the scriptures? Blessed are the peacemakers (those helping unbelievers to become God's friends) because they will be called "God's children" Matthew 5:9 An unbeliever can raise any topic no matter what he raised it's the duty of a fully competent and completely equipped Christian to speak consolingly to depressed souls not fueling dispute with them! 1Thessalonians 5:14 |

Steep:Which God? Did China accept that God? |

Maximus692:I've read the New Testament more than 40times. And the old testament countless times. I would have been a Reverend Father. There is nothing you can tell me that's so new. Think about it, if God truly exist. Why does he need my worship or praise. He has several angels doing that for him already in heaven, that's a disposition of someone with mental issues. Why would he allow so much religions and see people guessing and missing their way? Why would the god of the whole world be silent like a graveyard? Man made God, God never made no man |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by FRANCISTOWN: 8:13am On Jun 05, 2023 |
Maximus692: See don't mind that guy. I swr, that guy is the exact image of God. That's how God is. Worship me and you are my child, if you don't worship me then I'll burn you in hell. He is behaving like his father. So I'm not surprised |

Dtruthspeaker: So basically it's a promise? |

FRANCISTOWN:God the ultimate cause of creation. China acceptance or not does not change the anything. Adolf Hitler one of the most hated man succeeded in building a society that was advanced militarily, those that mean Adolf Hitler must be right? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Maximus692(m): 9:56am On Jun 05, 2023 |
FRANCISTOWN:If it's just about reading the scriptures Jesus won't send his disciples to go and TEACH, ọmọ you're educated nah if we can grasp everything by just reading books then what is the need for teachers in schools? All we would have needed is books and each person will read on his or her own before exam there won't be any need for teachers! FRANCISTOWN:You missed the meaning of worship and praise due to your former religion. Worship simply means doing things according to the instructions given by someone and praise means telling others about the goodness in following the wise counsel of the one you worship. Satan has misconstrued it all that's why it's difficult for you since Satan don't want you to make sense out of it! FRANCISTOWN:Satan boasted that he can mislead all humans due to his high intellect so God told him that with the way Adam was made many that will come through Adam's blood will beat Satan's intelligence no matter what he does {Proverbs 27:11} the true God believes (trusted) in what He created in His own image {Genesis 1:26} so if anyone failed to understand these things you will see them quarrelling with everyone around them just as you're doing! FRANCISTOWN:Mankind is too dirty from His standpoint {Isaiah 64:6} that's why He chose Abraham and made a covenant with him and his descendants, all His deeds with them are recorded in the Bible so if anyone feels like God must talk to him one on one then such a person can continue waiting till His kingdom come! FRANCISTOWN:If you think so my friend, if you think so! |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Maximus692(m): 10:02am On Jun 05, 2023 |
FRANCISTOWN: You're right my friend because there are many Gods {1Corinthians 8:5} my own God is settling all the disparities among His worshipers and forbidding us not to judge anyone due to their grievances towards Him {Micah 4:3} so his own God differs from mine each person will project the image of his God! Micah 4:5 |

Maximus692:Is your God different from the God of the old testament? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Maximus692(m): 12:41pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
FRANCISTOWN:What do you know about the God of the old testament? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by FRANCISTOWN: 12:46pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Steep:But China is doing so well compared to Nigeria where many people call his name |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by FRANCISTOWN: 12:48pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Maximus692:Jealous, insecure, intolerant, murderer, task master, wicked, egoistical, racist, slave Master. I can even go on and on |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Maximus692(m): 12:51pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
FRANCISTOWN: You misconstrued everything my friend so let's treat each tag one after the other because if not you won't know how Holy (pure) He is! |

Dtruthspeaker: Quote the previous post where you gave the answer. |

FRANCISTOWN:Doing well in what way, we could say same for Hitler, he was evil yet Germany had great advancement in technology so Adolf Hitler must be right? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Dtruthspeaker: 5:38pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
LordReed: Why? Have you run out of memory? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Dtruthspeaker: 5:40pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
LordReed: I believe you can read English, right? And you saw the word "before", right? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by LordReed(m): 5:42pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Dtruthspeaker: You expect me to remember verbatim something you posted 2 years ago? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by LordReed(m): 5:43pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Dtruthspeaker: I ask for you know and you are talking about promises, what did you expect me to take away from what you wrote? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Dtruthspeaker: 6:05pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Maximus692: Did you see Him befriend a blasphemer? Or did you see Him smile and bless a sinner who sinned in His Presence eg Judas Iscariot or the idiot whom He warned "sin not lest a worse come upon thee"? I bet you did not see that time passed before the stupid blasphemer in Leveticus 24:10 was judged, in spite of the fact that God had already laid away for the forgiveness and remission of sins, yet he was condemned. There are sinners and there are sinners who can never ever be forgiven! |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Maximus692(m): 6:36pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
My own Jesus said: Go, then, and learn what this means: ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.” Matthew 9:13 That's Jesus' response to Pharisees who were saying stuff like: Dtruthspeaker: Dtruthspeaker: From the viewpoint of Pharisees all the people Jesus is sitting, eating, drinking and sharing his happy moments with are sinners: The Son of man has come eating and drinking, but you say: ‘Look! A man who is a glutton and is given to drinking wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! Luke 7:34 Jesus Christ laid a foundation if you're not part of that foundation you can't pretend because it's something inside the heart not what you can disguise claiming you are one of his disciples! |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Dtruthspeaker: 6:52pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Maximus692: Thank God you pointed out "To Call" and not that He Smiled and laughed as He Saw them sinning as proven by His scattering of the traders tables in the temple. He did not peacefully speak to those sinners. He rebuked them sharply and threw down their business. (And of course the owners of those businesses will surely want Him killed.) That is also a foundation He laid! |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Dtruthspeaker: 7:04pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
LordReed: You do not need verbatim. It is sufficient that you remember. |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Maximus692(m): 7:06pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Dtruthspeaker: OK he did not speak peacefully with sinners, shey? Ọmọ your arrogance won't help you now. The people Jesus rebuked aren't the sinners he came to call rather it's the Pharisees like you claiming they're righteous: The Pharisee stood and began to pray these things to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like everyone else—extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. Luke 18:11 As for the sinners he spoke peacefully wit them telling them they will be blessed if they're willing to act on his message: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil,, against you falsely, for my sake. Matthew 5:3-12 Regarding these sinners Jesus told his disciples: Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. Mark 1:17 Are you going to preach to people who are already interested in some church program? If so then you're not preaching but snatching members of other churches. But if you're to preach then you must be ready to speak peacefully with people who feels what your religion says is stupid. That's when you can prove to be a fisher of men! |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Dtruthspeaker: 7:09pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
LordReed: You have always taken whatever you wanted to take from post and it must always be the dark and evil side, which I did not envisage that any reasonable person would conjure. But you will. |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Dtruthspeaker: 7:29pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Maximus692: So in your skewered mind the Pharisees are not sinners eh? Further, thank God that the record shows that I never claimed righteousness. So this is you being a devil making false accusation because you can not justify your sins. |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by Maximus692(m): 7:42pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Dtruthspeaker: Are you also a sinner like these people you're cursing on this thread? Because if you've been calling them sinners and accusing me a JW for speaking peacefully with them, then what are you insinuating? |
Re: Can Anyone Tell Me Just One Usefulness Of God by LordReed(m): 8:13pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
Dtruthspeaker: LoLz. I asked a question which was a signal for you to clarify, instead you choose this rigmarole. |
