What are you engaging me in?

I couldnt answer her comment because I didnt even understand what she was saying until the 4th time of reading it

ednut1:
u and God must be mad. May he use you and ur family to prove greatness too

u don't sound mature..can u see d greatness of God in your reaction/reasoning now??If we are to react d same..Then two mad guys would be ranting online behind keyboard..It changes nothing wether u believe in Him or not..Blame God or nature,it doesn't change d fact that there are mysteries which are beyond our belief and comprehension..

This line.... "just like his famous father Cobhams who was also born blind". I read once in an article where cobhams was interviewed, in the said "interview " Cobhams said he wasn't born blind, so which of the info's should we believe?

Even after being so closed to God yet the child still remain blind same as the husband. God's mercy is questionable if you ask me.

Gods mercy is not unquestionable. God is still good. That you woke up this morning hale and hearty is his mercies
To receive anything from God you need Faith. And Faith comes by hearing God's word. If you don't have Faith, unbelief takes over.
Even in the Bible some people received there healing by Faith.
They believed, like the woman with the issue of blood. She heard about Jesus, and said if I can touch the hem of his garment I will be healed. And she came while people were pressing on Jesus and touched him and she was healed of 12years infirmity, of which she had spent her money on physicians but got no better.

Notice others were pressing on Jesus but they had no Faith, so nothing worked for them, but she had Faith. How? She heard about Jesus and what he was doing and she believed.
So we need Faith and how does Faith come it comes by hearing God's word.

God is very vast. We can't get to him by our mundane human kind of reasoning, but by renewing our mind by God's word. That is thinking God's thought. Thanks

Did you do English language at school? Your previous comment was unclear

You want to talk about why God allows people to be born blind?

AmazingELixir:
:


Didn't know blindness could be hereditary ooh!

But cobham Asuquo why is your gene so strong on the facials why did it not just allow your wife's gene on that department.

Anyway the young man's disability is made lighter by the shear size of his father's pocket, ironically even those with complete sensory organs like Evans, Mc Oluomo, Naira Marley and Buhari have done more damage and constituted untold nuisance to the society

You failed to mention Bob Risky

There's such a thing as degenerative disease or progressive blindness, maybe he was born with some poor vision and it got worse as time went on.

The real problem in this discussion is that we don't know what's actually wrong with cobhams or his sons eyes, we're just using the blanket term "blind" which encompasses so many things

A blindness gene I guess? If his next child is also born blind, he should kindly stop giving birth.

There is a DNA kit called 23&me. It is sold over the counter for about $170. The result would include health and wellness issues which could predict things like this when used by the father
Once the person is informed based on the outcome of the genetic testing, he treads with caution. If he had used this kit, he would have known that his condition is hereditary.
Next, when the wife gets pregnant she would then go for amniocentesis. This is a process of obtaining fluid from the womb as early as first 3 months of pregnancy.
The fluid could then be analyzed for genetic information relating to the blindness issue. The test cost about $300.
Finally, if the result is positive, the couple could then decide how to proceed based on their stance on the ethical issues of the right to life and applicable laws the land.

So sad!!! Why does God allow suffering in the world? why do good people die early while bad and wicked people grow old? Why do bad things happen mostly to good people.?
This world is truly a mystery! An innocent boy who never begged to be brought to this world!!! The best time for the world to end is NOW.!!! May the peace of God that passeth all understanding be with the family.

Curtisaxel7:


Your analogy doesn't fit because

1. Skateboarding is an enjoyable activity. Blindness has no joy attached to it.

2. My father is a fallible man. God is a perfect infallible being.

considered the parable of the prodigal son. did the father love the son ? yes. did this love prevent the Son from making decisions ? no. and the son decide to collect his inheritance and move to a foreign country and ended up in a pig swamp. will you blame the father for his wrong decisions ? No.

did God love sinner ? yes. did this love mean that God will alter judgment to accommodate rebellion ? I believe you know the answer. so why blamed God ?

What a strong woman!! What if she was ur sis/ relative how would you counsel her ? Its a tough call between leaving and staying. That woman is under intense pressure from her family, friends,relations and herself. Forget those smiles u seeing. I pray for God's divine healing.



To those philosophers out there who doubts Gods existence. My question to you is " Can anything exist without a creator "?

Very rare case of genetic challenges....

Hmmm... Such a gifted family with such a challenge.

God strengthen you sis.

So did the boy choose to be born blind?

Very few women like this left in this world, she is really a woman of virtue with her excellent care for her husband and child. May God continue to give her the strength and patience to steer on and lead her family's path to greater heights.

the boy is the product of his parents. there is nothing wrong with the boy, the problems is with the parents.

That's for this wonderful enlightenment, but your submission is not far from those who is living under mental slavery. To you if Cobhams and his son remain blind for the rest of their life it's simply because they have no faith. quote author=djon78 post=83190699]

Gods mercy is not unquestionable. God is still good. That you woke up this morning hale and hearty is his mercies

Science and God who is greater? Are you a Christian? Have you ever read these Bible verses?Isaiah 35:5, Matthew 11:5, Luke 7:22? Do you think Jesus Christ demonstrated healing for fun? Or did he portray what God's kingdom will be? "Our Father who art in heaven let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. LET YOUR KINGDOM COME!" Have you ever wondered what that kingdom is? Will the blind still be blind there? Science itself acknowledges the existence of a greater being! Who designed the Human cells, brain, Heart? Who molded the galaxy with all the constellations of stars? Who rest the earth upon nothing?(Job 26:7) Even when science said the earth is resting on 4 giant Elephants lol and that its plain when it was oval? Who decides the day and the night in its season? Why has science not solve the mystery of aging and dying? My dear. science is way below our Maker. The origin of life and Maker of the Universe. He has no beginning nor end.

Unfortunately this will not happen, unless science comes through

Things of God cannot be understood by human reasoning, even the Bible said it in 1 Corinthians 2 that spiritual things which are the wavelength of God's operation is foolishness to a natural man, and he can't understand them because they spiritually determined. So a natural man calls spiritual things foolishness, stupidity or mental slavery

God gave you a mouth to speak things into being. Speak to that pregnancy,to the unborn child and command him to come out unhurt, unblemished and whole.

You only need your mouth, a believing heart that professes the Lordship of Christ ,faith, and the blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel.

I just gave you the key to walk in the supernatural . Ignorance and lack of knowledge makes people, dreams and careers perish.

hmmm.......oboi eh......havnt heard of dis b4 o.......can blindness be generic ?

HabaHaba:


Hmmm, see phoney! Your bug Oyibo sef is enough to discourage Lazy Youth Nairlanders from engaging you. See them, they've all kept quiet because of someone's professional diction.
Nairlanders are only won't to responding to topics that has to do with unproductive Yeyebrities & BB Naija! & of course, Bob Risky, matters that CAN NEVER HELP THEIR LIVES.
Mchhhhew, unguided youths.

PLS guide them more, bro.

Your are on the other end of the the lazy youth, you refered to. The first issue about the post on a sensitive matter as this is that it contributed NOTHING to the issue at hand. Castigating others doesn't make you brilliant. Intelligence is not wisdom. To make matters worse, you also showed that you don't have any meaningful thing to contribute rather than castigate others. Besides, who do you want to guide when you have nothing meaningful to say. Communication only takes place when you are understood. No one cares about your combination of grammar. We have all walked that path before. We will allow you to enjoy your false sense of accomplishment until you realize that life has passed you by.

If things of God cannot be understood by human as you said, how come human wrote Bible and claim it was the book of God? quote author=djon78 post=83204372]

2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

According to Cambridge dictionary
Inspiration;
someone or something that gives you ideas for doing something:

The Bible was written by human who were inspired by God.


Note I said human reasoning, not humans!! A human can have spiritual reasoning which is God's wavelength or human reasoning which is the natural man or man that lives only from information gleaned from his 5 senses.
This is what is termed natural man with normal human reasoning.

partnerbizn:


Lol

What do you understand by God's omnipotence and omnibenevolence? Have you seen Thomas Aquinas' works on these?

I wouldn't say some things so as not to make people despondent.

Any philosopher here?
Can anyone engage?

Note that you aren't replying a neophyte or one who has no smattering of the issues.


So you must be a pundit a tad before you qualify to delve into these issues.

. 3 years ago, I would have delved in...but, na money we dey look for now

Do you read jean Paul satre?

Oh Lord please open their eyes and prove the doubters wrong that you are still a miracle working God.
