When has punishing me for an apple I did not eat became justice?

His justice may be absolute but that doesn't make it right.

Nobody is punishing you for an apple, you can only receive the repercussion of your sin not anyone else.

Loool, its gonna be chaotic on the last day. Because believers of one religion will have to divide themselves to fit into the 99 other religions hell fire.
Its well

No, even in Islam, Jesus is called the Messiah meaning the chosen one of God. The evidence of Jesus life, death, burial and resurrection show that Jesus is The Truth.

Religious Experiences Shrink Part of the Brain

A study links life-changing religious experiences, like being “born again,” with atrophy in the hippocampus

The article, “Religious factors and hippocampal atrophy in late life,” by Amy Owen and colleagues at Duke University represents an important advance in our growing understanding of the relationship between the brain and religion. The study, published March 30 in PLoS One, showed greater atrophy in the hippocampus in individuals who identify with specific religious groups as well as those with no religious affiliation. It is a surprising result, given that many prior studies have shown religion to have potentially beneficial effects on brain function, anxiety, and depression.

A number of studies have evaluated the acute effects of religious practices, such as meditation and prayer, on the human brain. A smaller number of studies have evaluated the longer term effects of religion on the brain. Such studies, like the present one, have focused on differences in brain volume or brain function in those people heavily engaged in meditation or spiritual practices compared to those who are not. And an even fewer number of studies have explored the longitudinal effects of doing meditation or spiritual practices by evaluating subjects at two different time points.

In this study, Owen et al. used MRI to measure the volume of the hippocampus, a central structure of the limbic system that is involved in emotion as well as in memory formation. They evaluated the MRIs of 268 men and women aged 58 and over, who were originally recruited for the NeuroCognitive Outcomes of Depression in the Elderly study, but who also answered several questions regarding their religious beliefs and affiliation. The study by Owen et al. is unique in that it focuses specifically on religious individuals compared to non-religious individuals. This study also broke down these individuals into those who are born again or who have had life-changing religious experiences.

The results showed significantly greater hippocampal atrophy in individuals reporting a life-changing religious experience. In addition, they found significantly greater hippocampal atrophy among born-again Protestants, Catholics, and those with no religious affiliation, compared with Protestants not identifying as born-again.

The authors offer the hypothesis that the greater hippocampal atrophy in selected religious groups might be related to stress. They argue that some individuals in the religious minority, or those who struggle with their beliefs, experience higher levels of stress. This causes a release of stress hormones that are known to depress the volume of the hippocampus over time. This might also explain the fact that both non-religious as well as some religious individuals have smaller hippocampal volumes.

This is an interesting hypothesis. Many studies have shown positive effects of religion and spirituality on mental health, but there are also plenty of examples of negative impacts. There is evidence that members of religious groups who are persecuted or in the minority might have markedly greater stress and anxiety as they try to navigate their own society. Other times, a person might perceive God to be punishing them and therefore have significant stress in the face of their religious struggle. Others experience religious struggle because of conflicting ideas with their religious tradition or their family. Even very positive, life-changing experiences might be difficult to incorporate into the individual’s prevailing religious belief system and this can also lead to stress and anxiety. Perceived religious transgressions can cause emotional and psychological anguish. This “religious” and “spiritual pain” can be difficult to distinguish from pure physical pain. And all of these phenomena can have potentially negative effects on the brain.

Thus, Owen and her colleagues certainly pose a plausible hypothesis. They also cite some of the limitations of their findings, such as the small sample size. More importantly, the causal relationship between brain findings and religion is difficult to clearly establish. Is it possible, for example, that those people with smaller hippocampal volumes are more likely to have specific religious attributes, drawing the causal arrow in the other direction? Further, it might be that the factors leading up to the life-changing events are important and not just the experience itself. Since brain atrophy reflects everything that happens to a person up to that point, one cannot definitively conclude that the most intense experience was in fact the thing that resulted in brain atrophy. So there are many potential factors that could lead to the reported results. (It is also somewhat problematic that stress itself did not correlate with hippocampal volumes since this was one of the potential hypotheses proposed by the authors and thus, appears to undercut the conclusions.) One might ask whether it is possible that people who are more religious suffer greater inherent stress, but that their religion actually helps to protect them somewhat. Religion is frequently cited as an important coping mechanism for dealing with stress.

This new study is intriguing and important. It makes us think more about the complexity of the relationship between religion and the brain. This field of scholarship, referred to as neurotheology, can greatly advance our understanding of religion, spirituality, and the brain. Continued studies of both the acute and chronic effects of religion on the brain will be highly valuable. For now, we can be certain that religion affects the brain--we just are not certain how.

You did not pass the message correctly. They ate it at the wrong time. If God wanted them to eat it he won't tell them not to eat it. That is a dishonest behaviour if anyone act in that manner.
A day would have come that God would have commended them to eat it as he told them not to eat it before.

Hmm or probably he wanted them to grow to maturity before eating it.
It is sure the tree is eatable but the time frame is what is the problem. Just like sex is good for us and particularly ment for purpose. But you have to get to that stage, like proper marriage in othe to avoid unwanted pregnancy etc

Very good question!

Everything contained in that book called bible are just fictional stories.

First, they claimed God told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit he strategically placed at the centre of the garden. And whoever eats it will kpai.

But they are the fruit and did not kpai. That makes the Bible God a liar.

Hmm you mean Adam is still alive till today?

Everyone will stand before the judgement throne of God give account of their works including thoughts, what you wrote and all words spoken.
God is not sending you to hell because Satan tempted you or because of Adam's sin but because of your own sinful works, thoughts and words.

So your god already knows that he'll send me to hell (he knows the end from the beginning) and he went ahead to create me so he can have someone to send to hell?
Seems your god and the "devil" are in a kind of partnership.
Except of course your god doesn't know the end from the beginning (is not omniscient) as you people claim.
And why would god even send anyone to hell for their sins when he has already sacrificed his only son to himself because of the sins of the whole world?
Maybe the sacrifice didn't work after all that's why you people are left to fight for your salvation yourself.
It's such a shame that some of you can not even sit down to think with your brains and ask questions.
What a waste of white matter in so many skulls!!

God is a very merciful God and wants all sinners to accept Jesus Christ today and repent so that they won't burn in very hot hell fire....WHY DOES GOD SEND SiNNERS TO HELL FIRE AFTER THEY DIE?
Do you know that it was man that "initiated" himself to be going to hell fire? Adam and Eve made all human beings qualified to go to hell fire if they sinned. This happened because they ate the forbidden fruit, and eating the forbidden fruit leads to death (eternal death).

Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die"

Man chose hell fire for himself by eating the forbidden fruit. Eating the forbidden fruit is like taking a qualification exam that makes one eligible for hell fire: but Jesus Christ came to make a way of escape through repentance.

Man has increased in knowledge both of good and evil now, it was stated in the book of Daniel that knowledge will Liu increase both good and evil knowledge is overwhelming man now and man is the one losing.

You think you are smarter by insults?
There is no connection between God knowing you actions and your actions itself. Infact God knows that you will sin and this sin will take you to hell that is why he planned to salvation for you but if you reject his help then justice will prevail you will bear your sin.

Atleast these 5000 religions tells you there must be a God or divine being/beings all of them can not just be wrong right? It is your responsibility to search for the truth. But if you think you don't need God or you chose a God that you think resonate with you instead of seeking for the true God then it is on you not God.

The Bible called death the last enemy. Death is a product of sin. Hell was not made original for men but it was designed for the devil and the falling angels. However, it's the final destination for everything that results from disobedient or sin.

So what is the essence of putting "death" and "hell" in the lake of fire? What will it achieve?

That's how they misconstrue everything instead of asking for wisdom! Matthew 7:7-8

Death, Hell (Grave) and Evil aren't in God's plan from the beginning so these three will be destroyed for good never to exist again.
That's the meaning of Revelations 20:14-15 but these churchgoers won't listen they will continue arguing blindly until they are stuck! undecided

God is love. He doesn't send people to hell. In fact, God made the only WAY for man never to go to hell, after man submitted to the hell master and got his blood line contaminated. By that contamination, it was practically impossible for man to live in God's beautiful impeccable Heaven/Presence. God knew of the possibility and made a plan even before man was created to save man. He made it simple for man to avoid hell though it's something God, Himself paid highly for. He had to pay for it because He is God, righteous and can't break His Own law. So, He had to make the payment on behalf of man. But before He could do that, He had to have proof that at least one man could do something like that too....sacrifice his own son. God found that man in Abraham and thus the spiritual dynamics or requirement was fulfilled to justly sacrifice His Own Son to save man. So, God did, by sacrificing Jesus Christ. That made it all easy for man to get saved from hell as all man now had to do was simply "BE BORN AFRESH" into a totally fresh DIVINE BLOOD LINE - one that's same or in Union with God, devoid of the hell master's contamination. Guess what? Doing that is as SIMPLE as A,B,C.

Just say the prayer below loudly, believe it and mean it with all your heart;

Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you today acknowledging that you died for me and resurrected on the third day to give me a new God kind of life. I accept you today as my personal Lord and Saviour. I confess with my mouth and believe completely with my heart, that You are my Lord and Saviour. Thank you for saving me, transferring your righteousness into my account and filling me with your Holy Spirit. I am now born again, free from the power of sin to serve You, the only One and true living God, in Jesus's Name.

All you wrote is just cajoling. Compare a man's life to time, it amounts to nothing. When you compare a man's life to time, we can confidently say his life never happened! So why will you punish someone for something that never happened?

The whole story about god, heaven and hell was poorly made up.
God made a man, then a woman and loved them.
Then he (set them up) placed a tree with fruits that was capable of causing them death (according to god) OR opening their eyes to recognize good and evil (according to the serpent).
It turned out the serpent was right.
God lied!
God then chased them out of the garden and cursed them on their first offence (absolutely incapable of forgiveness).
God then destroyed the descendants of the sinners (Adam and Eve), leaving only the righteous man (Noah) and his family.
But Noah's righteousness didn't get to us. It is Adam's and Eve's sin that we still inherit.
Oh wow!! 😂😂😂
Then god offered his only son (don't ask how he got the son) as a sacrifice to himself (ritual killing) so he (god) can forgive us our sins and take us to heaven.
But he's all powerful and can do all things easily!
Alright, we move...
And his son (jesus) is god?
So if I rephrase;
God offered himself as a blood sacrifice to himself so that himself can forgive us our sins and take us to his own heaven!
Interesting, huh??
Hang on a sec...
The "devil" was with god in heaven and became rebellious. God fought the devil but couldn't defeat him. But god is the all-powerful!!
He sent the devil to earth (where god's beloveth children are) so that the children can fight and defeat the devil by calling god's name.
So god couldn't defeat the devil while face to face with him, but commands his children (much less powerful) to call him so he can defeat the devil for them in proxy?
Hello sense, where are you?
And top on the list of the conditions for god's children to go to heaven is for them to defeat the devil (resist his temptations aka sin), else they are thrown into hell!
How convenient!

God said if they ate from the tree that they will die.The serpent said naah you won't die.
DID THEY DIE? Yes, they did. So who lied?

He said that they will return to the dust cos out of it they were taken. He did not say they will go to hell

Did they have other trees to eat from the garden? Yes.

Does God have the right to set laws? Yes.

Were the laws designed to make Adam and Eve fail? No. Remember, they had numerous options.

If God does not have the right to set laws, why did your parents set boundaries for you? LOVE.

Inherit righteousness from Noah? Was he perfect? No.

Righteousness is not perfection.

Jesus is the son of God. He is not God. He even said it.

The devil has an appointed time for his destruction. What makes you feel he cannot be destroyed by God?

If God had destroyed the devil earlier, you might have asked whether God was hiding smtn. Hence the time has.

No human can defeat the devil in a fight, but we can flee from him with God's help.

If you want to discredit the bible at least go through it and come up with points that can be found in the bible.

Some people's Christianity is actually based not on what the Bible says but what they were told.
