That's the mystery of God. If He knows all things but still allows us to operate on our free will.

Daejoyoung:

Does it make sense to you?

judedwriter:


No! But I can't understand everything about God!

It's a mystery, but I choose to love and obey God.

Loving God above all is the greatest command.

Haha... but "to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen." - Romans 16:27

jiggaz:
Good evening dear... God created us to enjoy life in the garden of Eden, not this present fallen world. Since Adam and Eve's fall in the garden, this world became cursed... We will see the perfect world in the Millenial Kingdom which is the coming age. It is not God's wish for the world to be like this, it is Adam and Eve that brought this upon the world. But a perfect world is coming for those who put their faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ. God created us with free will, He doesn't want Robots to worship Him... Meanwhile it is easier to be saved in Christ Jesus than to be lost... The only criteria to make heaven is Faith in the finished work of Christ Jesus Heaven is a gift not a reward. There will be reward for Believers at the Bema Seat of Christ because there will be positions in the coming Kingdom of Heaven. But everybody in heaven will have Eternal Life not by merit or good works but by believing in Christ Jesus as their Saviour from Sin.

Eulalia:


That's the devil trying to drag you away from a life of peace and eternal hope.

I'm not saying it will be all rosy but even in the world it is not all Rosy but its better to be in Christ cos there is always hope. The bible says Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Apostle Paul hoped against hope at some point and help came. Look.... In the world, you shall find tribulations but be of good cheer for Christ has overcome the world. Once you have this at the back of your mind, you'll never give up. And I tell you, God will show up.

Be of good cheer always. Ask the Holy spirit to help you mutter a few words of prayer and from there progress then put on the garment of praise. God will show up.

Shalom.

Sharp girl... I know say this one pass u. I like ur style joor

TheRealProphet:
I can't pray, can't spend 5minute reading the bible,I don't love church..my Christian life is messed up.

Acehart:

Where do you live?

Eulalia:



Wow this is wonderful. Thank you very much, Sir.
Good evening Sir.

TheRealProphet:
why asking

TheRealProphet:
my location is Imo,Owerri.
Thanks for your concern.

TheRealProphet:
I appreciate your concern but I am not the kind of person who can afford much time for bible discussion. let's just say, due to my current situation I won't be chance.

triplechoice:


Created with the power of choice?
Then why should we be punished for exercising this God given choice?

TheRealProphet:
I gave up on life last week, even friends desert me. I come on Nairaland to catch fun but offline I am a shadow of myself, I resist depression by listening to music and commenting on thread, I fake everything on Nairaland just to smile, I have bible but I don't have the strength to read.
I wish I can talk to somebody, tell that person my pain because my heart is heavy with hidden pains and silent tears.thanks for your kind words

Acehart:


Should I tell you that three of us shared the same office as our room. When we started praying, Gbenga got a full PhD scholarship to the US; Andrew got his first job in more than seven years; and he is married now; Then me... you have no idea. Gbenga’s Father is a mechanic o; Andrew didn’t have a Father and had no money to pay for his PhD program; My younger ones fed me. If you don’t have anyone, you have Christ. No man can save you.

Dust your Bible and put it within your reach, so that when you wake up in the morning, you will try to read a few verse. I wish I could tell you to join a Church but if you don’t know Christ, no church would please you. Besides, a good church is hard to find. If you can afford data, you could read some Charles Spurgeon Gem sermons - they would be your light when other lights go out. Many people have been in the same dungeon you are now and they survived. Show some strength, please. Christ is your answer.

TheRealProphet:
Thanks, I will surely go through. Charles Spurgeon Gem sermons.
God bless you, Good night.

Not that its beyond me but I know what he's getting at. I know him. He's not really seeking an answer but just looking for an opportunity to dish out his usual "God does not exist" rants and show his disdain for God. And I'm not cut out for such as it leads to no where.

Daejoyoung:

But how can it be freewill, when God already knows what would happen? it has been predetermined in God's foreknowledge right? and what is the purpose of a freewill or test to God, when God already knows the result? this is why many doctrines in islam and christianity makes no sense to people.

LordReed:


So we should not stop people from doing bad things because they have freewill? That's nonsense. If you will intervene and stop a person from doing a bad thing then your god has no excuse.

frank317:


He asked a very good question and I was actually hoping u had the answer.

Anyways u are not the first. The question has never been answered.

My own is why will God who is all knowing create us and gave us free will when he know the free will will result in this mess of a world.

Uyi168:
..
If God is omnipotent and omnipresent, irrespective of our final actions, God already knows the outcome ,right ??

Dantedasz:




So god/yahweh/jehovah allowed that University of Benin female student to be abused and raped and slaughtered in HIS CHURCH and her head smashed to pieces for his name to be glorified and to demonstrate that he is the one and true god??!!

This is why I avoid religionists like a virus.

cjfbn:

You believe in God or not is not my problem, every human spirit has a freewill and the Almighty does not interfere. We will bear the consequence of the freewill that we take.
If one is sent to school, he has the freewill to read or loaf about. When exam comes, those that read will pass and those that did not read will fail.
It's a rough example of freewill.

cjfbn:

Wrong.
He does not know from the start.
When we apply our freewill, one can conveniently predict the outcome. Please note that the Almighty father dies not interfere with freewill of man.
If you are going to Lagos from ABA and you find your self in Kogi,one can conveniently say that you will not get to Lagos because that is not the route from ABA.

cjfbn:

If you are going to Lagos from ABA and you divert and start heading towards kogi, you do not need a soothsayer to tell you that you will not get to Lagos.
When you use your freewill, your destination can be foretold.

Dantedasz:



I am asking you a direct question.
If god is omnipotent,omniscient and omnibenevolent and he is a loving creator god according to you Christian's.
And he gave all his creations freewill according to Christian's.

The question follows,that why will such a god allow the university of Benin student who just got admission to study microbiology and decided to go and read in a CHURCH of her own FREEWILL and this god allows some ruffians to take this girl out of her space,rape her,assault her and finally break her head to pieces??!!
How is such a being benevolent?
How is such a being omniscient and omnipotent??
Is it the girl's FREEWILL that took her into a church to get raped?
And this god stands aside and watched??

Question: Why is John running?

Ans: John had visited his uncle two years ago.

I am still wondering how the answer answers the question...

Question from a little 11years old got u talking off point.

Question: since God is all knowing, he knows the biginining from the end, why did he create us knowing we will make wrong decisions and suffer?


ANS: God CREATED everyone with free will God does not interfare.

Oga if u don't understand the question us ask the little girl to rephrase.

I can actually help:
If God knows we will make wrong choices with our free will why create us to make wrong choices with our free will.
