So, your Bible does not say "do my will", "love one another" and suchlike, and your "preach" does not include "let your light shine"?

Originakalokalo:



This is the Bible...

Let me show you what it says...


(Mark 16 )
------------
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Where did the Bible say that I should win them over?

Preach.... You believe.... You are saved....

Preach.... You don't believe... You are dammed.

See another .....

" And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. "
(Matthew 10: 14)


Jesus told Paul, Get out of Jerusalem.....

They won't hear you.

He didn't say....

Stay and win them over.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Why did you say so?

My next step is to find God because I still strongly believe in him.I believe the universe and all living things could not have created themselves.

Hi. I'm a Christian and I typically don't comment on threads like this because I believe that it is each person's right and responsibility to choose what to believe. I try to limit myself to answering questions about the Bible regardless who may be asking. You haven't asked one here so this comment is a little bit unnatural for me but I figured that since you said the above, you might have some use for input from me.

First thing to say here is that the Bible is clear that Christianity is a war path. I have gone on record here as saying that it is not for the faint-hearted. To begin, choosing to entrust your eternal fate to somebody else, while ridiculously easy in practice, is actually very hard in decision because human beings by nature are most confident in things that they do themselves.

But everyone knows that we are all rebels against God and that there will definitely be something terrible to pay for our rebellion. And everybody knows that God is impossible to appease by our puny efforts. These things are intuitive. It only takes people determined to ignore conscience to succeed at treating these things as untrue.

Now, this is why we need God's Own Help. Because we have no other way of finding or making peace with Him.

But remember that human beings tend to self-reliance. So, the fact that we need God's Help does not mean that we would take it when we are offered it. It would still take swallowing our pride to accept help that comes from outside our own selves.

That is the stumbling block to Faith. Faith always means trusting something that we cannot control. Of course, no one can truly get away from faith. We all believe in something and rely on something for our eternal safety even if that thing is something we made up. But when we make things up, we tend to feel more comfortable trusting them. The problem is that the lies we create immediately put us under the control of powers that we do not control either and which will only bring us to harm in the end.

But God's Help cannot be made up. It can only be accepted or rejected. That is exactly why Christianity is so hard for human beings. Your input is only to accept and obey. Your initiative and creativity is neither required nor desired. There is, of course a sense in which our initiative and creativity has a role in the Christian Faith but it is always as a response of obedience rather than one of arrogance. For example, a believer who does not possess the gift of celibacy is wise to get married but it is up to them to decide who to marry. This is where they are responsible to think through their choice and respond in a way unique to them.

Otherwise, we bring nothing to the Christian Faith at all. Our natural intelligence is neither wanted nor required. Our natural strength and influence are also neither wanted nor required. These things have no value to the Faith and are apt to oppose it. See the example of Cain and Abel.

So, the Christian Faith calls for true humility. It demands that human beings acknowledge their total dependence on God, nothing less than that is acceptable.

Having said all this, it is true that what passes for the Christian Faith in many quarters is anything but. There are many out there who claim to be expert witnesses to the Faith who do very little to actually witness to it.

It is also true that the Bible is hard to understand. Even the existing translations of it and manuscripts etc have some errors in them that trip people up.

But these things are all tests of Faith for everyone. Trust cannot be trust if it is not demonstrated in the absence of "helping evidence". That is, it is pointless to ask somebody to trust you if they can see and understand everything that is going on. Then it wouldn't be trust at all. It would be confirmed, certain knowledge.

Faith, however, is the point of human history. The whole reason we are here is to decide whether we will trust God no matter what or whether we believe that we are, can do and know better than Him. The latter choice is rebellion. We were all born with a natural bent to it. But we can choose to change that inclination and decide that God is trustworthy and that even when we don't fully understand everything, He can be trusted.

That choice is made possible and easy for us with the witness of the world around us and with our own conscience. These two things are why despite the effect of atheistic arguments on this platform, you can still say what I quoted in your post here. Any honest person knows that God exists and that He is unassailable. Any honest person knows that there are such things as good and evil and that we are evil by nature. These are witnesses to the existence of a righteous, just and holy God Whom we could never defeat in a million lifetimes of rebellion.

But how can we believe that Jesus Christ is the way to make peace with this God against Whom we have rebelled? The answer to that is the very Bible itself.

For all the attacks of the enemy on the Bible, its truth still shines clearly through unassailable. It does not matter what translation you pick up, you will see that the Truth refuses to be overwhelmed by the wicked agenda of men who tamper with It. I have seen this personally. But you don't need to take my word for it.

There are human beings however who are hardened in rebellion against God who will not accept any olive branches from Him. So, even the very truth of the Bible is unacceptable to them and whatever may seem like a blemish or an inaccuracy of some sort gives them more excuse to grow more arrogant in their rebellion.

It is possible to resist God and His Truth while we live in this world, remember. It is possible to continue in rebellion against Him and resist the Bible and blame God for all manner of things in an obstinate refusal to hear His Own Side of things. So, I would discourage you from thinking that that possibility ought not to exist. This life is a test for everybody.

But this life will end. Then God will have His Way. Rebellion will not continue indefinitely. God's Character will not be impugned by evil men forever. The Bible will not be smeared and abused forever. These things will definitely come to an end. Then, God will have His Way. And nobody will be able to escape His Justice.

As I have said, it is possible to deny these things in this life. It is possible to arrogantly oppose God while we live. It is possible to call the Bible on the carpet and pretend some kind of mental and intellectual superiority over it in this life. So, the fact that you see that people can do it and that you yourself may be able to do it and get away with it for now should not convince you that there will be nothing to pay for all that. There will literally be hell to pay for it.

Please forgive me for intruding if I have. Your journey is yours and so are your choices. But I considered that perhaps you may be willing to ask yourself if you really know what the Christian Faith is and why you are choosing to abandon it. Perhaps, you are still willing to really get to know Who God is. Or perhaps you are now committed to creating a God of your own choosing to give yourself some false comfort in the things you prefer to do. I do not know. But in the off-chance that it may be the former, I have made this comment. I would be very pleased to help you further if you want it. Otherwise, I wish you well in your journey.

I say so because in my reading of Christ, I can't say you do any of the things Jesus did or taught one to do. Jesus never assumed people did the things you say atheists do, nor did he go about condemning people like you do. He in fact did the exact opposite by loving people instead.

Okay then.

Christ is love.

He wants people to come to repentance.

If they reject, they are damned.

If they accept, they are saved.

It all started as a quest to know God more (I'm still on that quest).I'd pray to God to reveal himself and for the holy spirit. I started reading the bible more than before. I noticed many cringe- worthy stories but I'd brush them aside because I was taught never to question God. Our Pastors, churches and the Nigerian society at large do not encourage rational questions and thinking.

I started to use the internet more frequently.I discovered Nairaland and started reading as a guest. I'd see posts about Daddy freeze challenging respected "Men of God" on issues they avoid in church. It became clear to me that most of them are thieves. I discovered that the bible was inconsistent and full of errors. I discovered that a lot of books that expose the bible for what it is have been removed to keep people enslaved.I started reading thought- provoking posts on Nairaland. Posts from people like Hardmirror,CAPSLOCKED, Joseph1013, Seun and so on.This forum has helped me in a lot of ways.

I still go to church to please my parents and so as not to arouse suspicion.I see Church these days only as a center for comic relief.

I would claim, "one learns what Jesus taught and that teaching purifies one", though the non-religious me might wince at the word 'purify'. Perhaps " learn the way to live better", would be more preferential, being that I'm an atheist and all.

Take you, for instance. Op said "It all started as a quest to know God more (I'm still on that quest).I'd pray to God to reveal himself and for the holy spirit".

When I read it, I thought, ""continue seeking raptex, and you shall someday find". But when you read what op wrote, you called op a "masturbator" (sic), "a furnicator" (sic), "a liar, and a sexual pervert", "questioning God's holiness and authority", and a "devil".

Does that response of your's sound anything like what Jesus taught or that would come from the Holy Spirit? Did you not notice how the devil might even have assisted with your response by making you not even spell words correctly?

I put it to you that if you had learnt from Christ instead of just "accepting" as you claim one should, and if the Holy Spirit had anything to do with what you wrote, your response would not have been full of accusations and damnation, but full of love and grace.

What you call "righteousness" is indeed nothing but hypocrisy. Wake up and realize that "eternal damnation" only exists in your mind. Why would a "merciful" god send his own creation to hell?

Yes.

I typed faster because I was responding to comments from different four threads.

The Pharisees were hypocrites.

They asked Jesus where is authority is from....

Jesus, knowing their minds, asked them where the testimony of John came from...

They, knowing that they could not answer the questions ...

If they say his testimony was from man, People would stone them...because they believed in him.

If they say that his testimony is from God,

Jesus would asked them why they don't believe in John...

They, being hypocritical, told Jesus...* we don't know*

Jesus then told them ..I don't know where my authority came from....

End of story.

Jesus said...." Pharisees, hypocrites, liars murderers...you are of your father the devil"

He didn't lie about them....

The holy spirit in him convicted them of their sins.

If I am a fornicator, or a theif, or a sexul pervert, or a masturbator, etc,

I will not have any moral justification whatsoever to come on this platform and challenge God and his children,

Who strive daily to live a holy life unto God....


A sinner questioning God's holiness and actions...

It is suicide.

So, If I call them what they are,

The holy spirit in me is rebuking them to plea as a sinner and get forgiven.


Else, that part is suicidal.

" And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God

for a sweet smelling savour."
(Ephesians 5: 2)



The bible never said outside Christ. It said all OUR righteousness.
