Enough comments to answer you already.

But I must talk my own... The Bible says the fool says in his heart there is no God.

I was once like you, until I encounter Jesus Christ 12:00 midnight ikeja Bridge, close to computer village. Thank you Lord Jesus, my story changed since that encounter and I'm a living testimony.

Please can you open a thread with full explanation about the encounter with Jesus. It could bring some of us back, and you gain by winning souls. Thanks.

Your response reminds me of this meme
LOL
I was called jesus christ a false God and a lying Jew, A friend told me to be careful so as not to invite the anger of God. I laughed at him loud.
He asked why was i laughing, i told him to imagine he insults Spiderman and i tell him spiderman would invoke his anger on him how would he feel?
We both started laughing.

Am not an atheist, though most people see me as thiest (but not a religious one though) just attending church for the sake of attending,but deep in my mind am an agnostic.but with kinda things I go through might end up being an atheist, because I don't even feel the if any God exist, cause I have not even felt him before, I watch people catch holy ghost and testifying to seeing angels but not even have I had a dream bout one before. We just have to keep worshiping though we shouldn't believe what we can see,but we worship him due to fear of the unknown.

Sometimes I even pray that if he exist he should show at least show himself in a dream or through a pastor,but he still never show himself to me,he doesn't have any message for me,damn who TF is he,we should keep worshipping him cause he we were told fairytale about one stupid hell they keep threatening us with.

Me and my friends once attended a night vigil,when the pastor was touching all of them head they kept falling (in my mind I was laughing at their funny charade), when it got to my time I didn't fall, I didn't even move back as he was trying to force me to maybe fall, since then i no attend the yeye church.

What am trying to drive at is am beginning to doubt the existence of God and if he doesn't show himself to me one of this days, then I might graduate into an atheist. Mind you oh yea preachers and gullible ones I don't need your preaching and bible verses. I have heard enough of that.
You seem to have a good point, most of the Churches out there are there to make money. I kinda agree with Karl Marx on the fact that religion is the opium of the masses. My problem with religion clearly isn't much like yours, cos I realized that one cannot tempt God for a miracle. My problems are of two folds: sanctity of the so-called men of God and multiplicity of religions. I fancy the philosophical part of Buddhism a lot, but of all religions, Islam is the worst, no single idea of value.
Howbeit, I don't have any doubts about the existence of God. That religions are fairy tales(if indeed they are) in no wise proves that God really doesn't exist. In fact, I consider theism as the sanest of available choices.
Given the fact that I believe that God really does exist, I find it as an imperative to connect with him, therefore, sticking to Christianity (due to reason and of course, fear).
In the very words of C.S. Lewis "Christianity, if false, is not important. If Christianity is true, however, it is of infinite importance. What it cannot be is moderately important."

iamDiabolic, when I saw "I don't need your preaching and bible verses", I wanted to refrain from quoting you, but then I saw "I've heard enough of that".

Well iamDiabolic, you haven't heard shishi. And I mean shishi. All you have heard is hearsay.

If you really want to hear from God personally, then go and arrange a meeting with a Jehovah's witness. After that you can then make your final conclusion.

For instance you talked about hellfire. Well for what is worth, the bible doesn't teach there is hellfire. This is just a tip that you haven't heard the bible speak before. But only the artfully contrived false stories of Catholic and other religions is what you are imagining to be bible's teaching.

see this mumu you can't counter what he just said with facts rather you decided to attack the Catholic doctrine. FOOL

Dude, go and get a bible and start studying it..
John 8 vs 32--
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

You don't have to follow others, no one is forcing you to accept Christ.. Its a matter of choice.. Get a bible, read it..

as in why create hell if he really wants us to have free will.90% of those who go to church nd mosque nd all those religious terrorist do all what they do because of threat of hell.why not remove that threat of hell nd dee how religious terrorism would stop nd how lot of people would stop woshipping him.that's like inferirity complex to me
True worshippers of God Almighty/Jesus Christ don't worship HIM for fear of hell, we worship HIM because of HIS love for us and we love HIM too.. Fear of hell won't make u love HIM in truth and in spirit..
I am a follower of JESUS CHRIST not because I'm scared of hell or scared to die; HE loves me and pours out HIS love upon me and I love HIM too.. I can see HIS love, goodness and wonderful works in my daily life.. If I followed HIM because of my fear for hell, then I don't think I'll still be a staunch follower today.. GOD IS LOVE; Taste and see that the LORD is good.. Thank you!

i asked about your creation and who created you ..answer na... ok but the bible talked about the earth right ?? so who created the earth too ??

my answer was in my previous response to you. Read about the Big Bang Theory and you will know how the earth was created. you may even learn new things like how this whole universe and solar system came to be. and also how much life span the Sun has left.

why didn't you address the part I mentioned about Jupiter, Mars etc not being mentioned in the Bible.

truth is, religion is illogical. Now you ignored the part I mentioned about other planets and you are still asking me about what was written in a book with no proof or, at the very least, without a thesis behind it.

stop being ignorant. approach religion with an open-minded and you won't be regarded as an ignoramus.

can you help me ask them this question(I plan to create a thread on it,after I research though,if jesus really ascended to even thus breaking the law of motion.did he wear his skin to heaven or his spiritual body.we were told heaven is a place where the soul go nd not body,nd we wete told after jesus ressurected his body couldn't be found that means he appeared to his disciples in human form,he had flesh.
So when he ascended back to heaven did he take his flesh along with him or did he shed his flesh while ascending.



I know no pastor can asnwer this question not to talk of all this religious ones here

Jesus Christ ascended to heaven in human body but was transformed on the way to heaven where he belong in the beginning. Bible says on the last day that the dead will rise and ascend to heaven followed by the righteous ones that are alive, so they will also be transformed on the way. Our God is wonderful, HE does things in a way that I s beyond human understanding. Job 9:10

am sorry because if u have read romans 1 vs 18-32 then check if its already happening to you. Which reads for the wrath of God is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness because that which may be known of God is made manifest in them, for God had shewn it unto them, 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, because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened, professing themselves to be wise they became fools and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed forever. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections, for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust, one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a (REPROBATE) mind, to do those things which are not convenient, being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,covetousness,maliciousness,full of envy,murder. Deceit,malignity, whisperers, backbiters,haters of God,despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, convenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Nothing like Atheist. Everyone has what he/she worships. This may be consciously or unconsciously. It might be what some call 'higher deity' or GOD, or Allah, or Money. It could also be beauty,power, fame, wife, husband, child, father, mother, food, or fashion. It could also be intellect, love, creativity,peace, happiness, career, and the list goes on. The only irony about these other idols of worship is that they are more or less done unconsciously. Whatever in ones life that if taken away could amount to life worthless living = idol and a form of worship. It could even be having spirit of perfection at all time and in all things one does.And another significant irony is that apart from God every other thing one worships never gives that eternal happiness and peace yearned for.

Are you for real? So you believe in the hogwash book of Genesis creation story, a book that made the earth looked like a flat surface. A book that claims man was made in one day while man actually evolved with time to become a what we are today. A book that never mentioned the existence of the dinosaurs 6billion years before man.

Let's not remain a slave with this slave man mentality of religion, even the westerns who fabricated it are disproving it on a daily basis

You sound more ignorant than a six-year-old child .

You 24 hours in a day, that's how it has being for ages, no going back no going forward, let me guess, it is just there?

The earth rotates around it's axis at the perfect degree from the Sun, 0.001 degree closer and we all burn. 0.001 degree farther and we all freeze to death, and I guess you think is by chance as well!!
1) The distance between the earth and the sun is not measured in degrees, its measured in kilometers. 2) There are 100 to 200 billion planets in our Galaxy. The fact that one of them happens to have the right conditions for life isn't a big surprise. 3) The conditions on earth have varied a lot over time. There have been ice ages and hot periods, periods when the level of oxygen was much higher than it is now, supporting giant insects, and now, global warming. Life persists not because the conditions on earth have always been perfect for life but because life can adapt to the changes in the environment by evolving.

Hahn , is this your new account. This guy sounds like you . If God does not answer your prayers , you are obviously living in sin . Some people's prayers don't get answered because they are filled with sin - it is clearly written in your bible . That's why it feels like you are talking to yourself , you are spiritually empty and indeed you are talking to yourself .




Atheists have the disposition to hate , terrorise , kill for selfish gains . They lost their sanity because they failed to believe in God

Here are atheist leaders over the past 100 years . Atheism has led to the death of more than 250 million people !!!

-Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50) 49-78,000,000 people murdered
-Jozef Stalin (USSR 1932-39 only) 15,000,000 people murdered
-Pol Pot (Cambodia, 1975-79) 1,700,000 people murdered
-Kim II Sung (North Korea 1948-94) 1.6 million people murdered
-Tito (Yugoslavia 1945-1987) 570,000 people murdered
-Suharto (Communists 1967-66) 500,000 people murdered
-Ante Pavelic (Croatia 1941-45) 359,000 people murdered
-Ho Chi Min (Vietnam 1953-56) 200,000 people murdered
-Vladimir Ilich Lenin (USSR, 1917-20) 30,000 people murdered
-Adolf Hitler (Germany 1939-1945) 12,000,000 people murdered

The veracity of the above information can be verified by checking through credible sources .
Lies, was Adolf Hitler an Atheist? When we say most Christians are unintelligent, people like you would always disagree. Now you see your life?
