IamaNigerianGuy:
Why are the Gods so powerless Now ?

That actually is the theme of the movie American Gods...

bloodofthelamb:


Jesus did not lie, when He said those that received Him will do the work that He did. His promise is fulfilled in my life and in the life of thousands of my brothers, who has the Spirit of God upon them.

You guys don't normally believe such works for you guys have programmed yourselves to believe lies.

LoJ:

Let me attempt to throw bread on water, not even because I expect any good out of it, but just from a sincere desire to see deep people remain on nairaland.

The divine entities -should one be aware of their existence -are not more or less powerful today than in the past. They only seem so for2 main reasons:

1- many of the feats attributed to them were mere superstition and ignorance;
2- the age we live in / the evolution of mankind.

Point 1 is very easy to understand and it is the argument of many an atheist. It is true but incomplete.

Point 2 is what many skeptics fail to understand.

The microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm. Mankind is like a baby trying to find its way to Maturity. Although at the beginning the baby is pampered and taken care of, there comes a time where he will gradually learn to do everything by himself.

We can therefore say the gods died - more exactly left - so that the superhuman can arise.

And Jesus, alleged son of God, supposedly cured leppers and polio victims, but apparently forgot to inform them that these diseases were caused by germs , until Louis Pasteur revealed to humanity that indeed , germs were the primary causes of diseases.
And humanity has not been the same ever since Louis Pasteur , perhaps a son of Satan (?) , came to Earth to make that revelation to human kind.

Seun:
If Gods existed, and acted the way the holy books say, there would be no atheists. The video below makes the point very effectively:

Even the Bible that you think is fiction has records of atheists.

The fact is even if God should appear in the sky, you folks would still choose not to believe in his existence. You'd just regard him as some being, and also argue that there's no proof of Him being the only such being in space, and there's no proof that he authored creation.

How do I know this, well, since day in day out thousands of people experience the supernatural, yet the testimonies don't convince you, you're certainly lost and blinded beyond the fixing proofs can offer.

This past month, a woman was dead in Bayelsa for 12 days and had already been embalmed. Her brother prayed that she would rise back to life and she did -After 12 days!!!

If such a testimony doesn't convince you of the existence of God, certainly nothing else will. It then would seem that you're bounded by an oath to never believe in God no matter how convincing the evidence is that you're presented with.

Anyways, sha know hell is real, and it's a torment that'll last for more than a billion trillion years.

Love you sir, but God certainly does much more.

dalaman:

When did the Gods become so powerless? I mean, when someone says "God", I'm expecting stuff from the first list, not something that's indistinguishable from an idea, made by humans and spread by humans.

dalaman:


Jesus lied. You can NOT do anything they said Jesus did because his promise to you remains a lie lie promise. You can NOT do it.

Primesky:

At the mention of the name of Jesus Christ, every knee shall bow.

budaatum:

He did not forget to tell people these diseases were caused by germs! He taught that lesson with the phrase, “[url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+5%3A13&version=NIV]Be clean![/url]”

budaatum:

I disagree. Jesus did not lie. Or rather, what is written about Jesus doings is not a lie. Humans are doing so much more than he is written to have done, including, raising the dead, feeding millions with tiny resources, and healing the amputee!

dalaman:


How many amputees do you know that have been healed in the name of Jesus?

plaetton:

Lol.
Good try friend.

But, Louis Pasteur did much greater for humanity by painstaking showing that indeed germs, not six or seven demons, were the primary causes of diseases ,and ultimately, death.
And humanity has not been the same ever since.

Wicked generation asking for a miracle. What you guys need is not a miracle but a new heart. A heart of flesh, a circumsized heart.

Even, if God should make an amputee grow back you will still not believe.

dalaman:


Which among the great works written about Jesus have you done? Have you walked on water? Feed thousands with two fish and 5 bread? Healed an amputee? Raised the dead? Which one have you done? Stop telling lies.
