| My Questions And Thoughts by ValentineMary(op): 7:00am On May 07, 2016 |
Growing up as a catholic child in Lagos, I was made to believe all sorts of things. From a virgin birth, to a resurrected jew, etc. I was told that the jews were God's chosen people and my forefathers worshipped man made God. That true life was in Jesus and not Amadioha, that I owed Jesus a whole lot for dying for my sins. But I have a few qus to ask 1. Was d African tribe not good enough for Yahweh, why be mad when the Isrealites are taken as slaves but u are okay when the Isrealites own slaves? Would that mean d Isrealites are superior But I thought u loved all men equally.2. Why pick a small Jewish town to perform miracles and expect humanity to believe it forever based on faith alone no matter how absurd they sound And punish any one who does not believe. Am sorry to say that this is an act of insecurity. You could as well prove atheist wrong and show us how u turned water to wine.3. Jesus, true sacrifice is giving all u have till it hurts as described by mother Theresa, but u gave ur life and still got ur back after 3 days, why do they still tell us u did d ultimate sacrifice I mean, u lost nothing.4. Yahweh is just but I can't imagine a just person who hardened another person heart just to punish him. This sounds like when our seniors in primary school would make us commit an act and still punish us for what they caused. I don't think that's d definition in my dictionary 5. I want to know, was it Yahweh that sank d titanic because a man said "Even God can't sink this ship"? If yes, he has some ego problem. Trying to prove ur marvelous powers to human in a very cruel way killing innocent women and children in d process is not an attribute of a very loving God. Yahweh show some compassion. 6. Why test Job in d bible when u knew he would pass d test Are u no longer omniscient? Or were u just playing chess with d devil?7. U claim to be all powerful, but u could not chase away some guys with an iron chariot. Why do u now expect to face North Korea nuclear on d last day ![]() 8. Jesus u said u are coming soon, it's 2000 years now and u are not here. Does d theory of time dilation also occurs in heaven |

I am happy people are asking questions about our obsessiveness to religion. Religion has taken over our life that we only live for the religion. This make some "Sharp men" to control and systematically hypnotize gullible Nigerians in millions and enrich themselves. Our people are one of the poorest in the world but our "men of God" are one of the richest. They now have specialty: Marriage and counselling, Wealth Creation, Teaching. There are no more preachers but speakers. The basis of everything is that religion is Government, Government to control and hold onto power, Power to control their followers. It is just like democracy and communism. Everyone ditching out propaganda to be relevant, relevant to be in control. To me the base of all religion is do good always!!! |

ValentineMary:Wish I had the time to explain. But hear this: God is Omniscience but he in his divine purpose designed man to determine his own eternal destiny. Thats why we are called gods. whether you will end up in hell or not is completely unwritten, 'un-predestined' and not even God knows this. the reason why the war for the souls of men is on is simply because of this simple fact. My friend, God will never create a feotus when he knows it is destined for hell. All men and not God have their own eternal destiny in their hands. let him that have an ear, let him hear |

Hoseaovo:Friend you are trying to defend God but your defence is already reducing him to man. I will help you when i have the time. That's if you care anyway. |
| Re: My Questions And Thoughts by Hoseaovo(m): 10:29am On May 07, 2016 |
alexleo:Well, I would like to understand how you mean before pending that, I still stand beside my word. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: It isnt a defence rather a fact. When God was designing Adam he didnt predestine him to disobey at the garden. He gave a clear command not to eat of that fruit. Adam could have declined the offer of Eve. In all revelations of the end time, none features the face of any known leaving man or unborn at the time of the revelation was given. The more reason why the scripture says that 'he that endures to the end shall be saved'. |

Hoseaovo:U are really funny. You said God is omniscient but from ur description, he is not. Are u as confused as ur God |
