bro pls respond, I am a christian pls I have other few questions to ask

ojuu4u:



d fact remains that God is partial/political, is it that make him not to be God? Capital NO, God is still God. you people should stop bending Bible necessarily just to defend God, my God doesn't need anybody to defend him, you people make Christianity complex for human kind to accept , when u confused urself , how will u convince others,

jaxxy:


My bro u r confused bt i will take my time to explain even tho u shud know wat i tried to say earlier bt u want to be difficult on a simple thing.

1st of its not about roasted meat bt about ur best. Cain brought d worst of his grain, wheat and yam. Its not like Gid will eat them bt its show the state of ur heart and appreciation.

2.Being jealous isn't bad if i doesn't make u sin.

3.God is quite slow to anger to u wont understand cos u don't want to. Just Look arrnd u and u will see.


I really don't like going into religious stuffs or arguements bt i will state wat i think is true based on wat i know or is obvious. Cheers

zionmade:

Ask d question again and spell dat name well

zionmade:

U called God political and partial? My dear i feel Sorry for u. Keep questioning God ok. If u havnt seen spiritual destruction before u wont know d importance of briddling ur tongue. Just allow d devil be using u anyhow. Or maybe u havnt seen where it is in d bible dat TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH. D more i quote u d more i push u towards allowing d devil spew Rubbish from ur mouth. So off i leave ur mention

CHARLOE:

you're obviously d confused 1. No need arguing with u, I no ur type cos i was once in ur shoes.
1 day, when u decide to do away with fear n start thinking out of d box called bible, when u start using ur head to think like d adult that u are n not a child like d bible advised, then d scales will finally fall from ur eyes.
Till then, enjoy ur ignorance n fear. Cheers.

there is this atheist that asked me this question and I don't know how to reply or what really happened and I will be happy if you can shed light on it
He said according to the bible God created adam and eve and they gave birthday to cain and abel alone cain killed abel
The question is did God create another set of humans apart from adam and eve or did they give birth to more children if not how did we multiply

Hexbee:

why all this rubbish? You ar living, breathing, hearing, perceiving, seeing yet you fell ungrateful to the greatest god who has done this all for you. He is god, the lord. Only him shall live forever while every other thing shall perish. One day we will meet with him to account on how we have spend our time and our wealth. Be gratefull to him for he has made a living among the death.

zionmade:

Now people make dis mistake of thinking dat d bible follows a chronological order meanwhile it doesn't. Dat is why u think events in Gen 4:3-26 occured before Gen 5:4
Cain and Abel were first and second but they weren't d only children of Adam. Adam bore sons and daughters and cain married his own sister.
Now d way Gen 4:2-end was written makes it look like it only cain and Abel. Read gen 4:3 it says "in d process of time" in between this duration Adam gave birth to sons and daughters
If u understand every part of d bible wen u read it den there will be need for theological schools

actrinity:

Bros, my advice to you... Stop this blasphemy against your creator. Tell whoever that put this thinking in you to change from stupid logic and appreciate the life you've been given. You're alive today....does it mean you're same with the righteous?

pirees:
the point is cain and abel are not the only children of adam and eve

Your brain is not mature enough to understand all these things...

miredia:
You are the one who's got a small faculty if you ask me. Understanding the things of God has nothing to do with how advanced your brain is but more of spiritual development and maturity.

An2elect2:
2 Peter 1:2-4
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Lol you should study more! vs 2 explicitly states that grace be multiplied (which means some people have grace even before they were born) through the knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus. The questions are who grants us this knowledge? And is this conditioned on our fulfilling something first? Or does God simply give understanding to those He has chosen? Vs 3 answers the question!

Colossians 1:9
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives

It doesn't look like they were praying for anybody. Or does it? So who were they praying for? People who have become like them. Who they heard have been saved by grace. And they began praying that they be filled (with what they have) with the knowledge of God's will. It didn't look like they were trusting on men to do they filling!
Very good point you highlighted. If you study book of John 1: 11-17, you will see that receiving Christ Jesus is receiving grace &truth because they came by him. Already if you have received Christ Jesus, the spirit is imparted to help you know what you have in Christ.
Yes, it was a prayer in Col. 1:9, because though they have received their salvation in Christ, so Paul made that prayer because being saved is a gift we receive, then opening our heart &mind to the word of God,through the lens of grace, 2Cor. 3:7-18, helps us work in the light of the gift of salvation we have received. That why Romans 12:2 encouraged the renewing of the mind because the gift we have received through Christ Jesus is truly amazing and the normal unrenewed human mind cannot understand things like you are "sitted in Christ in heavenly places:...etc,so the filling is done by God's spirit but we need to receive the knowledge first, so the filling/understanding/revelation of what you receive can be translated into a grace received in that aspect you're seeking of-basically that's how 'grace is multiplied'!
Please don't mind the grammatical errors in my writing!

2dugged:
just called her mom some minutes ago,and they confirmed that she was BID, I felt helpless when she held me and told me to help her that she couldn't breathe, and to start foaming few seconds later, with all the "Jesus take control that kept echoing around me,I truly wished the situation was brought under control, cos we were there for more more than 45 mins before her dad came with his car, I am taunted by the last look she gave me when she asked me to help her

Don't forget that science was responsible for creating that plane. The technology used in making it was highly science based. How many Eagles do you ever see crash landing? Blame science for plane crashes, not GOD.

TeamSimple:

Na this u people 'God himself came through Jesus to pay for our sins' they vex me pass.

Please Who determines what is sin, please who has the sole power of forgiving them? Why should I kill myself or my son just to be able forgive a sin only I can solely forgive? Should we call that a show off from the Christian god?

Because I am not understanding. Why should I use the entire savings in my whole life to buy a car I already own? Does it make sense?

Or is it possible for your wealthy father to sell off his house just to pay your school fees? A fee that we all know his capable of paying for 100 more students on scholarship. But still goes on to sell his house? Please what will you call such a man?

Na wa o..

Nobleking2000:


Why will he show mercy to whom he chooses to show it (ie selected few) are all creatures no longer what he created in his own image. If he selects the people he shows mercy that is pure partiality.

hopefulLandlord:


I'm afraid this is where I come in

I totally disagree with what you're implying here, I put it to you that you're ignoring biblical verses and talking off a tangent


saying the Pharoah deserved what God did to him. Okay, sure, maybe he was a complete dick. What about the fact that God went through and killed all of the Egyptian first born children? God literally made the Pharoah just let that happen because he kept hardening his heart. It makes no sense from a moral standpoint to threaten to kill someone's children if they don't give you something, but every time they have a chance to give you what you want you make it impossible. Hell, it never made sense to me either way why he killed their children. He's supposed to literally be the moral authority for all of humanity. He's supposed to judge us and tell us how we did in life when we die, but he goes around killing innocent children just because their parents bleeped up.

"But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go" (and variations upon that theme). God repeatedly forced Pharaoh to refuse, then punished Pharaoh (for the coerced refusal) by sending various plagues, up to and including murdering all the firstborn children of Egypt.

And to add insult to injury, after he had slaughtered the children and permitted Pharaoh to free the Israelites, "the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians." So, at any time, God could have simply moved them to let the Israelites go, without need for inflicting rains of frogs and bloody rivers, killing all their livestock, and murdering their children. But he waited to do that until after he had mostly sated his sadistic tendencies.

(I say "mostly", for a couple of chapters later, he once again abrogated Pharaoh's free will, "hardening his heart" to make him pursue the Israelites.)

In Romans 9 vs 16...so then it is not of him that willeth,nor of him that runneth,but of God that sheweth mercy.

That means God is selective of whom to show mercy to,why that?...are we not all his creatures?...we can see this in the case of jacob and esau...he showed mercy to jacob unlike esau...

Peter and judas iscariot...peter was showed mercy but judas was doomed to die...

Saul and david....

And lots of biblical cases...

Not everyone will receive the mercy of God...some are doomed to die no matter how many years spent on the earth...God spares only those he wish to and destroy others...

Little wonders why someone will commit a particular sin,will go scot free but someone else that commit that same sin might die.....

So doesnt it mean that God is a partial God?...state your opinion without insults...

You mean God's grace is inactive even when he showed preference for Jacob over Esau before they were born?

So how do you "activate" this grace biblically?
