I'm surprised to see people like you who their heart is as black as coal are trying to object the real fact.
you're claming that god don't exit, so who created you? did you create yourself? how? who feeds you and gives you health? ? when you're affected who you often call to make you healthy?

Words of Comfort: "I don't hate God. I just don't believe He exists."

"I don't hate God. I just don't believe He exists."

Such is the way of many cultures that if a son or daughter marries out of the faith or does something of which they strongly disagree, in the parent's minds, they no longer exist. There is no greater contempt for a person than to so hate them they don't exist in your mind.

http://www.onthebox.us/…/words-of-comfort-i-dont-hate-god-i…

Words of Comfort: Criminal's defence.

A criminal was once arrested for a heinous crime. Even though the evidence of his guilt was overwhelming, he wanted to defend himself rather than have faith in professionals. He decided to use the following defense.

1. He had never seen the judge, so he concluded that he didn't exist.
2. The judge that he didn't believe existed, was immoral.
3. The law books were full of contradictions.
4. The criminal, despite his crimes and guilt, thought he was a good person.

How true are the words "He who defends himself in court has a fool for a client."

Op which God exactly, their are thousands of them and one certainly cant hate that lot, thats a lot of thing to hate you know... so which of them are you referring to?

"That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee" (Exodus 4:5).

All other gods they are the works of men, You are the Only God there is none like thee.cheesy

i am getting confused about this whole thing, i don't know why for some years now. i have been trying to know if i can figure out about 10% of the origin of man, there are many reasons to believe that a God exist and there are many reasons not to believe a God exist. but one thing is certain. every Religion is false.

Traditional religion is the work of men. What gives you the impression that God doesn't exist?

ojimbo:


if you look deep into the world, how humans and animals were specially made, even our own planet earth. you must agree with me that there is a special artist or decorator who must have made such things, take a look at our sex, where the penis and the vagina are located, we all have ears because probably the decorator knows very well it will be an essential organ of the body. If human beings must have evolved don't you think that we may not have also evolved with eyes and brains. final conclusion. both humans and animals were specially made.

You are not wrong with this observation. Especially man was specially made.

ojimbo:


at the other hand when you are referring to a God. many religions try to define God, some quoted they knew god very much. some quoted he created us in his own image. i know some people will try to quote me or trying to correct me in the aspect of God making man in his own image. the English language is clear and i really understand it. don't try to quote what you mean the bible said rather that what the bile means in his own language. so referring to a God, don't you think that someone more powerful must have made that God and so it goes.

Look at it this way. The God that created the God who in turn created God and so on. The God at the top of creation who created all the gods is the infinite Creator. The uncreated Creator in the infinite Creator and that is why He is God and man is not. He created us in His own image as you have rightly noted, man did not create God in his own image.

ojimbo:


some miracles happened in the bible which are no longer existing now, like wise in Koran and so many other religious books

Can you be specific about the miracles in the Bible that no longer happen today? Can you also enlighten us on at least one miracle you think happened in the Qur'an?

ojimbo:


my final conclusion about this life[/color]
1) the Nature might be what we all refer to as God because the nature itself is self existence

Nature is evidence that there is God who is the Maker and Creator of it all. Read Romans 1:20

"[color=blue]For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" (Rom 1:20).

ojimbo:


2) if the God exist, do you think he cares if we get to know him or not?

He does care, the reason He gave us His record, letter and oracle called the Bible. Blessed Information Before Leaving Earth.

ojimbo:


3) i think the world may one day seize to exist, and every human and animals on earth will seize to exist

What informed you of this?

ojimbo:


4) some people believed so much in life after death( where were you when you were not born, and where do you think you will be when you are dead) i guess some of you doesn't know what eternity means. it is beyond our imagination

You are certainly right there, eternity is beyond our coconut brains and that is the reason we should read, believe, practise and obey the Bible so as to get an afterlife.

ojimbo:


5) thanks to whosoever or whatsoever that made this planet earth and the world itself.

You are almost saved all you need to do is to get to know and relate with the Creator Himself through His Son through whom He created all things.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkeness; and the darkness comprehended it not" (John 1:1-5).

Receive Him into your life today by confessing your sins to Him, repenting from your sin and turning to God in faith, trusting Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour.

"But as many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" (John 1:12-14).

Now why is God not creating new people like Adam and Eve?

The first law of thermodynamics. Since God rested on the 7th day of creation He has ceased from creating new kinds. All He does now is recreating the new man in Christ with signs following. wink

truefact:

Note; I am not for or against Op, but your reasoning is childish

God is now in the business of creating the new man.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:17-19).

Oh holy books, funny that somehow you thought i grew up an atheist. . lol..

I have seen far more of Christianity than you ever can imagine. Have read the bible back to back, Underwent years of theological and philosophical learning in the seminary. I have studied most world religions and mythologies... Right on the contrary i have nothing against religion; I just have the guts to call mythology what it is; Mythology. . Unlike you who wishes and thinks it true..(one over others tho)

Now lets start a book for you; I recommend Just a Simple comprehensive Biology, you need to start from the basics clearly. . am sure you must have passed through it in secondary school, but i suggest you go read it up now. smiley

What you tried was traditional religion. Did you have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ His Son? undecided

thats good. . . am sure i was never talking about whether a supreme exist or not. . .

I was showing you planetry formation so you would stop with that kind of childish question as who created the world. . . earth like everyother planet out there formed just that way we observed planets form...

You believe a supreme is your own cup of tea.

How was the universe originally created?

Godownchild:


This question of existence of God?

Yes there is a God.

Why, from my own point of view, sometimes I think and reason how I came to being, why I m breathing, have life, move, talk, where I was before birth, why didn't I know myself, what wud life be when I die, wud I just disappear, etc, these questions pop tru my head non the less, which has forced me to do lots of research!

I believe humans were created by a greater being the same way all the materials we use today are created by us eg aeroplane, cars, nothing just came on its own!

Moreover, what of demonic entities, for instance babalawos? Are you saying its not real, they don't consult spirits, what of people that do astral travelling, is it not real as well.there is a spiritual realm beyond our physical eyes.

Why not seek sincere answers, for of what use it is not believing and after death realising that there is a true God after all

Good point raised there. smiley

Teach a child the way, give him the tools and leave him to go his own way with the tools you have given him. Religion is Relate individually to Legend in Legion. God answers us individually and His way is not our way. His Will be done in us all individually and severally. We always fail when we judge others without authority to do so. So God exists. As the only judge of all, He does His judgement entirely in His own ways and time. You have taught that boy well till he becomes 18, and you have given him the relevant fishing tools, leave him to go on to relate to legend in legion in his own way.
