Finally somebody is saying something. But I know they wont like to read your post, they would rather read irrelevancies and empty conjectures that make them feel smart smh

The whole Bible was merely pointing forward to the solution to mans greatest problem! Why bother yourself over random snippets of Leviticus and Exodus instead of getting to the point?!

Thank you for your kind words.

As you said, not everyone really cares what the Bible says. In fact, the vast majority of human beings have never cared about what God says. They will only pretend to listen in order to find fault with what they hear. I couldn't have put the bit about making themselves feel smart better myself.

You are exactly right that the whole Bible runs to the Cross. That is really what all of Creation is about, after all. The Cross defines the whole Creation and the destiny of men and angels.

As you also said, taking random snippets of any part of the Bible is always a very bad idea. The whole Bible is a seamless whole. When anyone is taught what the Bible says as a whole, they soon realize that every part of it is connected to every other part in unique ways to create one whole, harmonious Truth.

Do not, therefore, look to God to somehow "fix everything in the end” by imposing some form of celestial justice in the "afterlife.” I tell you this: There is no "afterlife,” but only life. Death does not exist. And the way we experience and create our life, as individuals and as a society, is our demonstration of what we think is just.

Just focus on meditating on the word of God as well praying to him with faith. See church ehn, just negodu.

Acehart:
You seem not to have read the Bible cover-to-cover. It is very glaring right from the first pages of the Bible that Children of God suffer. You should read Psalms 73 to see what we, the children of God, go through when we see the wicked enjoying while we suffer.

From what I insinuated earlier, you read the Christian scriptures sparingly but you sound like you know the word of God page to page (but it has disappointed you).

Suffering achieves two things for the children of God:

1. To expunge the love of sin in us. This is when suffering comes as judgement (discipline).

2. To bring out the nature God made us for. (This is what many call the Gethsemane experience. Gethsemane means Garden of pressing. (There was an oil press factory in that garden)).

The two points seem like the same except that point two makes the Child of God become helpless and makes his total hope to be on God. Our old, unreformed, nature is hostile to God. After becoming saved, that nature still lingers. God uses suffering to remove that nature and leaves us with the pure nature he made us in - the nature of Christ.

Are you suffering?
How come our big church G.Os are flexing life to the core, I mean hard balling, wearing all white to church, buying private jets, buying the rolls royces, fast super cars

digitalxpat:


Glad you asked these questions. It shows you are getting closer to know God more. The truth is anyone questioning there is no God has not EXPERIENCED HIS POWER IN THEIR LIFE. Unfortunately they follow people, church and societies to really understand who God is. God can be understood only through His word which is the bible. You also need the HOLY SPIRIT to interpret the bible for you.

I have seen God work in my life and that is why several religions like Erkanka, Yeshua, Etc have come to convince me but I stayed strong because everything God has done for me has been miraculous.

1. I have worked in top companies without a BSC.
2. I have traveled outside the country without money
3. My canceled visa was approved 3 days after
4. I have lived without money and all my bills were sorted

Read these scriptures carefully based on your questions. Pray before reading and remove every teaching you have heard before

1. Jesus is the only way to God -

ANSWER
Read Book Of Romans Carefully

2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess." -

ANSWER
It's not contradictory. I was arguing before that one is allowed to drink and not get drunk like stated in the bible until God opened my eyes to the life of John the baptist. Luke 1:15:- for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.

If you read closely you will see only one spirit is allowed to stay in your body. Alcoholic drink has a spirit. Paul drank alcohol to relieve the pain in his stomach. HE DIDN'T DRINK TO STUPOR. Ephesians 5:18 says Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

3. For Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus it's simple. I took saw different accounts but these guys were different people giving their own account in their own perspective of who Jesus was to each of them individually. They saw it in their own light.

If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so.

2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess."
Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe)
Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions.

3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead?
I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue.
I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence.
I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family.

4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most.

That's a strange way to interpret the guy's comment. He's saying if there existed any divine, omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent power who cares about his creation and intercedes to come to the aid of His people who lift their voices unto Him in supplication, then there is no rationale for the state of Nigeria - a very, very religious country where people pray about everything. He's not saying it's "God's fault" or "Jesus' fault". If you're saying that the state of Nigeria lies entirely in our incompetence, then you're saying all the solutions to our problems lie with us and not God. Which I'd say is an accurate observation. Why then need to pray at all if all you have to do is engage your cognitive ability and industry to solve your problems? What is the purpose of prayer and religious devotion?

Ihedinobi3:

Hello.

I believe it depends on the scientist. Not all scientists agree that we have been here for 250 000 years. Some believe we have been here longer and others believe that we have been here for a much shorter time.

Nonetheless, the question will always be why anyone believes what they believe. I consider the Bible to be the only truly reliable authority on earth about anything really, so what it says is what I stand on. I am happy to use science and technology as far as it is reasonable to do so, but I don't find it always reasonable to rely on them.

The last discovered skeleton of early man was carbon dated 70,000 years old and the skeleton was a woman's of African heritage. Even the Catholic church has hinted at their support of the theories and evidences that humans have existed for more than 6,000 years. I think the church knows this but stating otherwise will shake the foundations of many faithfuls.

That's the problem. There are too many other beliefs out there to pick one and side with it without strong evidence. Its like a judge who rules in favor of a defendant that provided faith as evidence. It doesn't make any sense. It's not like you have been around the world to test every faith before arriving at the conclusion that the bible holds the absolute truth, it is more like "I don't know the real truth but let me believe this one because it was passed down to me or I grew up in a geographical area where all my peers are of the faith

Dear Englishmart,,
Sorry you are disappointed and unhappy because you have not really seen Gods hand in relative to how you expected to see it, God is not unjust and is not moved by any man's emotions and logic. He is a God of principle and one who considers his words first before his name.

Concerning your first reason please read Mathew 24:14 (And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come) to have a brief understanding of this.

On 2nd reason: my advice is to not give yourself to worldly doctrines. Alcohols of today is simply poisonous to the body, I do not think you need any Bible to decide if alcohol is good for you or not, your body and soul will be the judge.

On 3rd reason: God is not a slave you can summon to heal malaria or ulcer for you, there are drugs that do that, those drugs were discovered years ago through some thorough research and divine knowledge. I want you to know that God does not interfere in the affair of men, well maybe there are few exceptions, but that is what it is 'an exception'. God has put the affairs of men in the hands of men and he can't even interfere if he does not find any suitable for man to use. So, stop expecting Him to do what he does not promise you. And again, it is against the law of nature for you to get healed by ways mysterious to your body, most of the time you will need to swallow nutrients or drugs in order to heal up.

On the 4th reason: God built the earth, he placed man on it and gave man the authority to govern the earth. However, man disobeyed and gave some of his authority to Satan and now the devil has almost the same authority as man on earth, and this is why you see havoc been orchestrated by men co-helped by the devil. Even while Jesus Christ was among us, there were killings and there were suffering simply because there is some amount of authority withing the jurisdiction of Satan to have control over some certain things(we invited him anyways ). God is not a magician that will come down and stop war, however he gave his words that whoever believe in his son Jesus Christ will have eternal life, he also gave his word that whoever believe will walk through dangerous places and never get hurt.
- Then about secular people who live extravagantly, I want you to understand that a lot of believers also live extravagant life not because God gave money to them but because they obey the principles guiding money and wealth creation ( i will recommend you go get yourself a book by Pastor Sunday Adelaja title Money don't make you rich) to discover timely money principles that will turn your life around.

Dear Englishmart, i guess you are trying really hard to seek Gods face but let disappointed because you didn't see his face directly, i want you to know that He is there with you and he never leave you even when you stop seeking him (He is a gracious Lord) all he need from you is a continuous effort to seek him, like the one you are currently making. And i want you to also know that you thinking of becoming an atheist makes him to even love you more, do not listen to the distracting noise of this world, do not turn your back on your creator, all he want to see is your face and striving heart.

May God continue to Strengthen, Love you.

You try.

Temmywalex:
Man, I share your view too.

But again, how do we human being and all other creation come into existence?. This is one other question that will make us want to believe in the existence of God.

A critical look at the creation of the world and all the inhabitants shows a very high level of planning and organization. Someone must be responsible for all these.

In my own opinion, I see religion as a tool to control human conduct and character.

But some have been using it for selfish economic and political benefits.

I always insist that every religion has their fault which can be considered as wrong teachings.

Humanity supercede any so called religion.

Religion is an enslavement of the mind (You won't be able to think outside your religious teachings and beliefs). That is why a particular religion command its followers to kill anyone that refuse to accept and practice its own teachings and the believers accept such awful teaching (Because their mind had been enslaved to see nothing bad in it).

Though we appreciate the one we met ourselves in, making use of the teachings to shape our lives and people around us for good.

But sometimes, I imagine if there was no religion, people will do things they like which might actually be more dangerous for human existence.

But humanity supercede all. That was why Jesus Christ said "Do unto others, what you will also like them to do unto you".

I THINK "HUMANITY" SHOULD BE THE NAME OF THE NEXT RELIGION WE ARE CREATING NOW.

Lol oh gosh! Excuse me, did he mention the fact that we are being run by a bunch of numbskulls and imperialist puppets before he started wailing about churches and prayers?

He clearly said "If theres any God anywhere, Nigeria would have been a better country by now" which is apportioning the blame to God without mentioning anything related to our own responsibilities apart from prayer. na so we go dey sidon one side dey pray while our country goes even further into the abyss? Which better country? When people cant even stand in a straight line when waiting for an ATM machine mtchew dont make me laugh!

By the way what is religious about Nigeria? In the sense of active faith, organisation and infrastructure? God is a god of order and not open gutters, unkempt policemen and gluttonous politicians so I dont see where He is supposed to come into it when we are busy being stupid and incompetent.

He is even being kind to us right now; do you know the type of serious disasters we are supposed to have experienced by now if not for God? Hm! This thread is becoming very funny o!

midnighter:


1. It makes perfect sense. What doesnt make sense is that somebodys sins are never atoned or paid for, anywhere, when God is supposed to be totally just.

2. Just because it (supposedly) doesnt have contradictions, it doesnt make it true. Even most works of fiction need to be free of contradiction before they can be published, so that they will make sense to humans and fulfil human expectation.

The Bible is not trying to fit into human expectation because it is a divine work and human capacity to understand things of the spirit is limited. It only seeks to let the truth be known.

Why do sins need to be atoned for. Why does god need an innocent human sacrificed to atone for the guilty? Can't he just simply forgive? If forgiveness has to be conditional, then it's not forgiveness anymore, it's basically some kind of revenge.

Parts of the Bible may be divine. But it has been written and rewritten over the centuries by men to fulfill their theological desires. The result of this is a book filled with errors and inconsistencies. How could God have created light on the first day, the sun and moon on the fourth? If these monumental errors, which science has come to disprove, are wrong, why then should we believe other parts of the same book?

Jesus(peace be upon him) never came to preach Christianity. He came to preach the Oneness of his Lord. That's the same Lord we worship.

Hey poster, it’s too early for you to give up on God, don’t give up on him easily. God exist( I know deep down within you know that too) and he answers prayers too, this I’m very sure of. Why not try and sincerely seek his face this time around and see if he won’t answer! Don’t just conclude like that. A slight delay doesn’t mean he is not interested in your plight.He loves you and he is waiting for you to call unto him, so don’t give up on God he exists and he will never give up on you too

Jesus the way the truth and the light John 1:1

God exists. That is an irrefutable fact. The simple fact that we exist is the greatest proof of His existence.

God never promised us a problem-free life. We have man's fall in Eden to thank for that.

As a Christian believer I've had my share of problems. But the fact remains that God always comes through for me one way or the other.

On three different occasions I had found myself in a life or death situation... where it was humanly impossible for survival...yet...somehow and in some inexplicable way...I survived.

There is no single contradiction in the Bible. The Bible isn't a textbook. It wasn't written for our understanding. It was written for the 'Eyes of Our Understand.'
(Ephesians 1:15).

So long as you read God's word with Head Knowledge... you will always have problems with clarity.

God's word becomes clear only by Revelation Knowledge...

One thing about the Bible is that it is highly contextualized. That's why you shouldn't just Read... rather Study... the Bible...to understand the Who, What, Why, Where, When.

And that's why you need the help of the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit it Truth who is ever ready to guide us in all things.
Without the help of the Holy Spirit... the Bible will remain vague to you. (I Corinthians 2:14).

Next time, before you read the Bible, sincerely ask the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of your understanding. Trust me...you'll be amazed at the hidden nuggets in God's word.

When it come to problems... I've learned that God usually has two approaches:

*He prevents the problems
*He allows the problems but promises to deliver us out of that fire or water.

God will never allow His own experience more than they can handle. That is a fact.

So, my dear believer, no matter how backbreaking your current problem may seem...you have all the needed Grace to stand and overcome it...I know it sounds easier said than done...but that is the gospel truth.

God exists. The Bible is true. And our world is problem-filled. But many are the afflictions of the righteous...but God has promised to deliver us from ALL of them.

And, in a worst case scenario... where a problem leads to the death of a righteous person...then it's home to Heaven.

Last year, my dear mother, whom I loved so much, became sick. We did all a could... but she eventually died. She was in her early 60's. Was I heartbroken? You bet. This was a woman who gave her life in service to God. Generous, kind, patient, prayerful...a virtuous woman. She never really got enjoy the fruits of her labour.
But...she's now in a much better place. And that is all the consolation I need.

I'll end with this quote: 'Seeing isn't Believing. Believing is seeing.' - Andrew Wommack.

Are you suffering?
How come our big church G.Os are flexing life to the core, I mean hard balling, wearing all white to church, buying private jets, buying the rolls royces, fast super cars

The life of suffering only fits the church followers but not the G.Os

I suffered. I suffer daily. But I earn about three million naira a year with incentives and I have a nice car and more. For many years I had nothing, zero. (At one point I taught in a nursery and primary school). But those things I have now don’t complete me. I don’t count another man’s money and I’ll advise you to do the same because the issue of looking at images is the strategy of Satan to take your gaze away from godliness and contentment.

When you read the later verses of Romans 8, you would see that God never promised us an easy life of comfort, not even safety from our enemies or a hiding place from persecution. God has promised that whatever we face in life, we will overcome them by his meeting every need of ours. If we suffer, God gives us the ability to rejoice even when our needs takes time to come to fruition.

I am sure those GOs suffered to. You are only seeing their “today”. Have you seen their yesterdays? Whatever they are doing now which is not pleasing to you, is not for you to jump into conclusion; it is God that judges every man.

Happy Holidays
