What Story In The Bible Seem Complicated To You? by chatinent: 11:48pm On Apr 06
Is there a story you feel seem complicated? Kindly share!


I think mine would be Job. He did nothing and God was just like to Satan: "See my servant Job. There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is..." and it led to Job's misery in the end by Satan only to rekindle it later.


Was that really necessary!



Second, what was really the crime of the firstborn children of the Egyptians that was killed as part of the plagues?



And I think it's the Pharaoh's story too. God sent Moses to tell Pharoah to let his people go. Pharoah refused. At a point under duress, he let the people go. And guess what? God still stiffens his heart that he pursued them?




In all honesty and with the suffering I don personally face for Nigeria, if the devil was erased from Eden from the beginning, life could have been easier. The Jesus story of dying for our sins is long procedures. Many years have passed to prove a point abeg


And I can never believe a white man died for the sins of a black man.



O po ju o.

Re: What Story In The Bible Seem Complicated To You? by MrBrownJay1(m): 12:32am On Apr 07
mine is the story of all these highly respected men of the bible (King David/Solomon, Abraham, Jacob etc) that were obviously fornicators with countless concubines, babymamas and mistresses yet were not seen as sinners...

the only one that was remotely punished for such act, was simply because he had sex with a MARRIED woman. but if the women were single, there was never any problem with being a fornicator.

its the hypocrisy of the bible as it is obvious the bible sees nothing wrong with a man having multiple wives, as below verse shows:
Deuteronomy 21:15
15 If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love,

Exodus 21:10
10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.

Judges 8:30
30 He had seventy sons of his own, for he had many wives.

2 Chronicles 11:21
21 Rehoboam loved Maakah daughter of Absalom more than any of his other wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

... and the list goes on.

It is important to note that the Law of Moses was the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan. That Covenant does not hold in any country or nation that exists today because the God of Israel put a seal on that Covenant when He destroyed Israel and its sister nation, Judah, about 1900 years later.

In the Nation of Israel, under the Law of Moses, Polygamy was allowed, even among the commoners. Polygamy was never made a sin in the Nation of Israel that existed in the Land of Canaan. undecided
15 “A man might have two wives. He might love one wife more than the other. Both wives might have children for him, but the firstborn son might be from the wife he does not love.
16 When the man divides his property among his children, he cannot give the rights of the firstborn to the son of his favorite wife.
17 The man must accept the firstborn son from the wife he does not love. The man must give that son a double share of everything he owns because that son is his first child. The right of the firstborn belongs to that son. - Deuteronomy 21 vs 15 - 17
...
7 “A man might decide to sell his daughter as a slave. If this happens, the rules for making her free are not the same as the rules for making the men slaves free.
8 If the master who chose her for himself is not pleased with her, then he can sell the woman back to her father. If the master broke his promise to marry her, he loses the right to sell her to other people.
9 If the master promised to let the slave woman marry his son, he must treat her like a daughter, not like a slave.
10 “If the master marries another woman, he must not give less food or clothing to the first wife. And he must continue to give her what she has a right to have in marriage.
11 The man must do these three things for her. If he does not, the woman is made free, and it will cost her nothing. She owes no money to the man. - Exodus 21 vs 7 - 11
...
16 The king must not get more and more horses for himself. And he must not send people to Egypt to get more horses, because the Lord has told you, ‘You must never go back that way.’
17 Also, the king must not have too many wives, because that will make him turn away from the Lord. And he must not make himself rich with silver and gold. - Deuteronomy 17 vs 16 - 17


Scripture has never been the source of the confusion most boast of. Rather, religion has been the major source of the confusion most boast of. undecided

Noah's ark story.

Imagine Noah sending special invitations to all the Animals across the earth then to come and board his ark. They obeyed and all conveyed in one ark.

Lions and Buffalos were best friends in the ark, Tigers was very closed to Antelopes . The relationship between the animals all through the event was just mesmerizing.

The fish is the story of how people run away from the purpose God has for them and end up in the belly of the beast
Jonah was suppose to work for God as he was singled out
God decided to teach him a small lesson
Real or not there is a lesson in it.
Adam and eve story
Man was made in the spirit of God and human flesh.. hybrids meaning they had power over every of Gods creation on earth
He was skeptical about it and decided to test them
You should be bothered with why they failed
If he didn't test them almost immediately it would have been a disaster much later
Even those who God called his own went through test to have abundance
Even our lord Jesus Christ wasn't left out
To get the promises of God glory man will be tested
Solo na richest man for the world
Rich men do what they want
Talkless of richest

So it has become wrong to praise your loyal and wonderful servant eh? You did not blame evil Satan who went after the good servant but you choose to blame God for praising His servant.

Seriously see how unfair and unjust you are?

Did you not hear that Israel is God's first born? So the Law is first born for first born.

When Pharaoh was sitting as God and acting in his power and doing as He pleased without fear that he was dealing with God's people, did he not know that when Papa shows up, he would be seriously dealt with? Or you think God shall allow all the evils they did to his children to go unanswered?

" I am the Lord, I will repay" is not a joke.
