I have been trying for the past three (3) hours now to explain the concept of God to my six year old half brother. who recently just returned from the states. I tried reading using the bible and he asked me the most difficult but simple question. Big brother where did God come from if you said there was nothing in world!! I dropped the bible immediately. I tried using nature to explain that the beautiful flowers, birds and sea were created by God. Then he asked me who created God because mama bird and papa bird will have junior bird and for the flowers I need to plant its seed for them to grow.. so big brother who is papa God  13 Likes 4 Shares |

The earlier the better you should start praying for him, it is better now that you're aware of this at the early stage. The best thing to do is to pray for him fervently and show him some picture bible story book and pray before you do that as well. God will open his eyes to the truth. Shalom 35 Likes 3 Shares |

There are Questions about God that we humans cannot even fathom to ask not alone understand... Jst put d boy in d children dept in ur church and by d time he relates with children his age and interact with them more, he will come around and have a different perspective... 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Gpdwise:My brother, I can see how concerned and committed you are in this your brother's issue. Folks might try to equip you with ideas they believe could work out, yet it clearly doesn't end there because you are not trained to do this. It prize-worthy for you to have detected this deficiency in a good time Just like you and I, that concept "God" was clearly explained to us in the children department of our churches unlike what they do where he lived.

@coolebux i wrote this post because I ran out ideas and Google didn't help either.. coolebux are we Christians because we where born into it or that we kept hearing abt God and we believed in him.. I am just frustrated and the young boy is looking smug 1 Like |

That boy is perhaps a very wise boy with a curious mind. I wish i was smart enough to have that kind of thought at his age, perhaps i would't have grown up knowing i used to call myself a muslim. 104 Likes 12 Shares |

Hmmmmm... Your six - year old brother just returned from the states indeed. I guess it's BUBU's katsina state. keep on deceiving your self and other gullible nairalanders. Anyway, if you must explain the existence of God to anyone, then you must first explain to yourself why you personally believe in his Existence. SHIKENA! 21 Likes |

Gpdwise:Tell them to hold their breathe for a minute if they can survive it and then they will know there's God. To me I believe our job is to preach the word while it is the job of the Holy Spirit to convince and convict the heart of men to believe and get saved. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I Dont believe all I need to do is to take him to church every Sunday.. that will make him familiar with God in Nigeria and when he goes back to the state next two weeks would he still ve that conviction.. I want day to day example so that tomorrow he will ve the perfect faith of what he believes in 1 Like 1 Share |

The child if real hasnt obviously been indoctrinated and asking the same logical questions most atheists on Nairaland asks...i really hope you let him grow to be of a sound and skeptical mind, free from childhood indoctrination and let him figure the world by his own reasoning and logic. 39 Likes 4 Shares |
