there are different between Christianity and religion..
RELIGION: The religious man is seeking to
establish his own righteousness by ignoring the
way of the righteousness of God (Rom. 10:3).
CHRISTIANITY: The saved man is satisfied with
the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ (2 Cor.
5:21).

RELIGION: Religion is pictured in Genesis 3 by
the fig leaves that Adam and Eve made for
themselves--a terrible covering (Gen. 3:7).
CHRISTIANITY: Salvation is pictured in Genesis 3
by the coats of skin which God provided by way
of the shedding of BLOOD--a perfect covering
(Gen. 3:21).

Religion is DOING while Christianity is DONE. when Jesus cried on the cross, "it is finished"The work of our salvation was FINISHED, DONE,ACCOMPLISHED and COMPLETED. A religious man may be likened as a man who try to swim from river kaduna to niger by his own strength, he will never make it. But the man who is save by faith is likened to be a man who get on a ship, hoping it will take him to his destination. this man simply rests upon the ship and lets the ship do all the work.

Are you resting fully in the finished work of Christ? Are you trusting in Jesus Christ, WHO HE IS, WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU and WHAT HE HAS SAID IN HIS WORD? "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:22).

hmmm,but if god really exist,and he is omni potent; meaning he has the power to recreate life.then i think HEAVEN answers your question; the bible says the dead will rise again! for me,that is enough to assuage any suffering a human might have gone through.note also that expecting god to react emotionally to evil as you and i would do makes him not god but man.but all i have said is subject to if god exist; something i don't know.

LET ME STILL ARGUE ON THE OTHER SIDE. I CAN SWITCH TO ANY SIDE AND BUTTRESS IT.



Heaven cannot be the answer. We are not sure of it. Again, there is likely to be chaos in heaven since there will be free will there, as it were.


Now how does heaven answer for the 6 million jews killed by Hitler?

How does it answer for the 2 year old with a hole in the heart.

How does it answer for tsunami, earthquake, hurricane etc.?


I am just advancing simple arguments, I don't want you to be despondent or lose your faith.

Like I said, your question was wrong

If something does not exist, do you the debate on why you think it doesn't exist?
.I made a mistake answering you

So it is now a fact that God doesn't exist? There is a mathematical proof now?

Is there a consensus or unanimity now?


Well, I doubt if you have a smattering of philosophy and logic.

Nice having you!

LET ME ARGUE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR PURPOSES OF ACADEMICS.


The problem of evil in the world led me to christianity.
It was same problem that made me question my faith at adulthood.

Ultimately, it's the same problem that may lead me to abandon my faith.

The question Epicurus asked many centuries ago has not been answered.

He asserts that God cannot be omnipotent, omnibenevolent and evil still exists.



Some argued that evil does not exist, that it's a privation of good-- Thomas Aquinas. This untenable.


Could it be that God's hands are tied? This was suggested by Krushner.


I think the best answer is that there is no omnipotence in the literal sense. Acquinas argues that God can only do a logically possible thing. Not otherwise.


I WILL STOP HERE.
Let me help you a little, have you read the story of Job, he was righteous and holy,but suffer to ascertain his height of righteous, most suffering in world was not by GOD, it called by human, that is why some countries are growing and some are not developing, greed and sentiment has taking over most people in the world, imagine Nigerians taking out our resources to develop developed country

EternalBeing:
Christianity is more than just going to Church every Sunday, or just praying every morning when you wake up and every night before you close your eyes to sleep. Christianity is being dead to the "lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life", and being alive in the Jesus Christ which allows the Holy Spirit to live through you by using you to impart this World for good according to His Will.

I got born again years ago through the preaching of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi that I heard. Imagine if Kumuyi refused to give up sinful life for his current life of Holiness that brought me and million others to salvation in Christ, I was strongly on a particular path already which guaranteed I would have been an armed robber that would have killed so many by now, and maybe would have been killed too. I wonder how many millions around the World, who were in similar situation as mine, got converted by the eternal truth that God used this man and his likes to reveal. So, the most important reason why you should become a real Christian is not just for the salvation of your soul and the reward of living forever that follows, but for the sake of those destinies that are tied to your salvation.

It should be noted that it is currently extremely difficult in this end time Generation, if not utterly impossible, for a human to fulfill his/her God-given glorious Destiny without the help and intervention of our Creator, which can never come without us being Holy; Hebrews 12:14 "... Holiness, without which no one will see the Lord" . Holiness is the prerequisite for us to be supernaturally empowered to triumph over the whiles of this World. Satan uses trials of life to fight many innately glorious people into submission and worship of himself in order to use the special gifts that God created into them to destroy humanity and pervert the Purpose of God for the World. Becoming a real Christian, with holiness within and without, is the only way to triumph and fulfill your glorious Destiny in accordance with the original Purpose for which God created you. Not matter the trials, don't ever jettison your original for the fake quick fix glory that Satan offers in exchange for your eternal Soul. Grace of God keep us unto eternity in Christ in Jesus Name.


Very wonderful and timely for a perishing generation. We need to live a life of sinfreeness so as to see Jesus.
But please next time correct the statement that " Christianity is more than going to church on Sabbath days and Sundays. As an Adventist i worship my creator on Sabbath days and not Sundays. Thank you very much as we remain faithful in our walk with Prince Emmanuel.

DON'T USE JOB'S STORY, It will destroy your case.

Now, Job's case only shows that God is omnipotent and can do as it pleases him. He has no duty to give reasons.

Job's case is against all sense of moral justice and portrays God as a beast.


God admitted that Job was righteous and did no evil, yet he struck him "WITHOUT CAUSE"

How do you justify making an innocent man suffer?

Job inquired what's his sins were and God boasted, asking him if he was there when he laid the foundation of the earth etc...

this is a simple answer, first you must know who is God and how he operates. God has a way and pattern of doing things and what and how you think has no effect on another man talk less of God

That is a wrong question

But I will give you something.. Randomness

The bible promises protection for Christians , so statistically, the death rate or rate of negative occurrences native to Christians should be lower

But bro, it is not

In fact the death rate for Christians is higher than any other religion

My mother is a prayer warrior
She has been praying for the same thin for over thirteen years

Has she gotten it? ( I'll let you guess the answer)

a Christian is know by God for he searches the heart and the actions of men not by been a prayer warrior or going to church

Christianity is just rebranded paganism from babylon, by the Romans.... They added their scripture at the end of Malachi as an insult against God almighty.... It is not an of shot of Judaism.. In Judaism, God is one, not 3 in 1..and the messiah God promised the jews is from the shot of Jesse, through David and Solomon.
Not a demi God.. God mating with human beings is a roman /Greek idea... Not Judaism...
Judaism idea of a Messiah is a king anointed by a prophet with a special oil.. Not a son of God..

Let me still indulge you.
The bible can as well give answers as to why the prayers remain unanswered.

If a man asks to get pregnant for 15 years and it doesn't happen, does it show God doesn't exist?

And what do you understand by God's omnipotence?

Because for God to answer prayers, he has to be omnipotent.
