Karanka:
Sir, I read through your response and I honestly couldn't find any logical reason why satan is still free and roaming about causing havoc on earth.
How exactly has Satan personally caused havoc on earth in your life?

Karanka:
It was something that had to do with God, Adam, Eve and satan, why involve the rest of humans?
Karanta, if somehow you manage to give the correct answer to this question, then you'll understand the angle why the rest of humans are involved my sweet dear loveable and reasonable friend.

"1Then the LORD said to Moses,
2Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.
4He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.
5He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft!
6“And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant.
Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen
so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:
7the Tabernacle; the Ark of the Covenant; the Ark’s cover
—the place of atonement; all the furnishings of the Tabernacle;
8the table and its utensils; the pure gold lampstand with all its accessories; the incense altar;
9the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils; the washbasin with its stand;
10the beautifully stitched garments
—the sacred garments for Aaron the priest,
and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests;
11the anointing oil; the fragrant incense for the Holy Place.
The craftsmen must make everything as I have commanded you.”"
- Exodus 31:1-11

Now, here's the question Karanka:
If you blessed, as if just like Bezalel in Exodus 31:1-11 above, but this time around, with the creative idea of how to produce, say something like a coin, as in the picture displayed above seen, please tell:
1/ How would you produce the first product and what will it be called?
2/ Then secondly, how would you plan to go about reproducing this your same first product, with same quality, same distinct marks, over and over and over again, so you have a successful inventory, you are able to distribute, replenish and overwhelm the world with?

Karanka:
Why not use the live of Adam and Eve and prove that man cannot rule himself?
Is that what exactly is panning before our eyes ni?

Karanka:
Why involve generations upon generations of people to suffer for what didn't directly involve them?
"When the foundations [of life] are undermined, what can a righteous person do?"
- Psalm 11:3

A&E, ignoring God's warning, with a stubborn and determined intention to do as one wants, regardless of the consequences, involved generations upon generations of people to suffer for what didn't directly involve them

frank317, and even Karanka, in order not to get your post hidden and your posting privileges withdrawn, as happened to you above, just post your comment, and do so, without repeating anyone's previous quote to capture their comment. Dont quote the post, simply just write out the poster name & his/her comments yourself. Don't outright quote, whom you're responding to. It will save your post from being auto-hidden, from withdrawing certain privileges and rewarding you with an ignominious posting ban

Karanka:

Wisdom doesn't settle issues that way!
In a maths class a student challenged the lecturer saying the lecturer didn't get the solution to a certain equation, though everyone knew the expected answer but the formula to work it out is the problem.

If the lecturer should send this student out of the class will that solve the issue? Definitely not!
So the wise thing will be to hand over the chalk or marker to the student and allow him prove his formula, if he gets it right then the lecturer is wrong but if not then the lecturer knows better.

Of course this will take all the students longer than necessary but does it worth the effort? YES! If the lecturer truly knows better.

God is that lecturer, Satan is the student, mankind is the equation and system of government is the formula, there is just one form of government that can bring lasting PEACE on earth THEOCRACY! This is the government of all intelligent creatures by God for the benefit of all creatures!
All other system will fail!

But God doesn't want to be a bully so he allowed Satan to try his best and see if he could deliver, Satan just continue using people to kill people in his effort to prove his formula right, mankind have tried all forms of government none worked out for the benefit of mankind rather it has continued to bring pain and suffering. The last system God foretold that man will work on is DEMOCRACY today we are trying to make it work but all to no avail, no country on this planet is enjoying the kind of PEACE mankind really need.
Thanks! smiley

Looks, like Haylel has learnt the hard way, how to use the workaround to quote a poster's comment without having your post hidden plus without getting a ban on top

cc: Blabbermouth
kkins25 did you not see all the warnings and workaround, I put out with some others cc'ed on it, ni?

kkin25:
.... i have an audio of the aforementioned book. i prefer it to the gospels we are/were forced to read in the bible- blindly i must add. This one actually aches my soul, it stirs it to strive for wisdom and understanding, it forces my soul to empathise with those whom have been deprived of means to "engage their brains" as you succinctly put it- making me yell "father, forgive them. They know not what they do".
i must confess, it could be the soundtrack behind the voices which are not just read but dramatized. God bless those who put in effort and time to transform lead into Gold.

worthy of mention is the complete tale of the parable of the shepherd who abandoned 99 sheeps to find one. you see, this is something i intended to point out to muttleylaff but unfortunately i was banned from that thread by the malfunctioning bots. This books of wisdom(enquiry of life) given to us can in many ways be interpreted but the only true interpretation is that of the original author. The interpretations and teachings we have inherited are those of other men- the (generally speaking)romans,greeks, etc. who have twisted the will of men to succumb to theirs.

In this particular gnostic scripture, we get the whole picture and a better understanding of the parable of the lost sheep.
the canonical scriptures makes us believe God loves every soul so much so that he was willing to abandon 99 others in search of just one missing sheep. you see, muttley, that parable had caused a tear in the veil of my understanding until i read the gnostics.

This i say because God has exhibited habits of favoritism again and again. so [b]the parable of the lost sheep doesn't make a single sense when it is read from the canonical gospels[/b].



MuttleyLaff:
...kkins25, you can sometimes appear so embarrassingly and biblically awful undereducated sha, smh ...



"But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
(i.e. But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin.
You are guilty of breaking the law.)
"
- James 2:9

"Then Peter began to speak:
"I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism
"
- Acts 10:34

"For God does not show favoritism
(i.e. God doesn't have any favorites!
For God judges everyone by the same standard
)
"
- Romans 2:11

By the way, I saw your comment above done on the Islam forum, unfortunately, for obvious reasons, I am unable to respond on that forum concerning the parable Jesus, spoke about the Shepherd, alleged by you, who abandoned the 99 sheep or lamb to find, rescue, and save the lost one, so I'll post my reins here for you and with budaatum cc'ed

Here is a preamble before my response. Conventional financial wisdom says, take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. I have 100 pence/kobo/cents, in my pocket. I pence/kobo/cent fell out on my pocket on to the ground, getting lost. Now here is the point, since, I know that the pennies make a Pound, the kobos makes the Naira and the cents makes the Dollar, then I'll leave the 99 pence/kobo/cents, safely remaining in my pocket, to go look for the lost pence/kobo/cent. Now please tell me, what's so wrong or difficult in doing just that, hmm kkins25? Or are you one of those who see a pence/kobo/cent on the pavement and walk past it, ignoring it, hmm? When I went to go looking for the lost pence/kobo/cent, my other 99 pence/kobo/cents were not abandoned kkins25. Do you get it now? Capisce, hmm?

My other response then, is, on the strength of James 2:9 and Acts 10:34 above, also with especially, the profound Romans 2:11, God is no respecter of persons. He doesnt show favouritism, yet it doesnt take away the fact and truth that, He wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. He isn’t really being slow about His promise, as some people like you want to think. No, God is being patient for everyone's sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to change, repent, wants all to turn away from their sins and to pass on to having reformed characters inasmuch as they exercise their fundamental right to exist and to exist freely expressing themselves, to the best of their abilities and nature

Your problem kkins25, is that you have itching ears, hence the reason why you have a craving appetite and/or unhealthy diet lust for apocrypha and pseudepigrapha literature

A Just Judge will never send a suspect to prison or proclaim execution until the suspect has been tried, trialed and found guilty as charged.
Until Judgment is passed on Satan, a just God should not just execute him or send him to eternal prison.
Ask other bugging questions by God's grace and revelation you will receive satisfactory answers.

Judges and suspects are both humans without supernatural ability to know who is at fault. But God created Satan and should be able to convict him right away.

Karanka :
Sir, I read through your response and I honestly couldn't find any logical reason why satan is still free and roaming about causing havoc on earth.
It was something that had to do with God,Adam,Eve and satan, why involve the rest of humans? Why not use the live of Adam and Eve and prove that man cannot rule himself? Why involve generations upon generations of people to suffer for what didn't directly involve them?


I don't really know what's been triggering the b/ans by the N/L b/ots recently. I think it's the use of too many n/umbers in one post.

Well, the whole Genesis chapter Three account raised several issues about who Jehovah the Creator of the heavens and earth really was.

After Satan deceived Eve into disobeying her God, He(Satan) claimed that God was hiding something precious from Adam and Eve—further painting Him to be a bad ruler.
Know that before now, God had created millions of angels in heaven(Job Thirty-Eight verse Seven) and they were all observing the scenario on how the whole matter would turn out.
If God had immediately destroyed the rebels—Satan, Adam and Eve—then it would make Satan's claim of God being a bad ruler to be true.

Other issues were raised too—as to whether humans could successfully rule themselves without God's intervention. Jehovah God knew that he didn't create humans with the ability to rule themselves(Jeremiah Ten verse Twenty-Three) but he has allowed Satan and humans to set up their governments anyway to show to observers that Satan was wrong.

Where the descendants of Adam and Eve come into the scenario is when they are to choose between

One. Serving JEHOVAH GOD — the One who created human beings and therefore, knows what's best for us.

Two. Accepting Satan's ploy for humans to rule themselves in forms of governments under Satan's authority.


Those who choose number one are to love Jehovah their God, keep all His statutes and commandments in order that they may have everlasting life. (Deuteronomy Thirty verse Sixteen, Nineteen and Twenty; Psalm Thirty-Seven verse Twenty-Nine; Zephaniah Two verse Two&Three; John Three verse Sixteen)
That includes wholeheartedly supporting God's Kingdom that will put an end to all of human governments in the future. (Daniel Two verse Forty-Four)
The only group of persons today doing these are Jehovah's Witnesses. (Isaiah Forty-Three verse Ten to Twelve)


The Bible tells us that Satan is the ruler of this world. (John Twelve verse Thirty-One, First John Five verse Nineteen)
Those who decide to follow Satan's form of rulership are the ones who rely on their own so-called wisdom, accept worldly ideas and thinking, set standards for themselves to follow(just like Adam and Eve chose to do) and all those who are supporting the human governments of this present system of things.


The Bible which is God's inspired word also gives us hope that all the havoc today—death, pain, injustice, crime, sickness—that were caused under Satan's authority WILL all be reversed through God's Kingdom. (Revelation Twenty-One verse One to Four) smiley

Yeah. I was trying to tell Sermwell that God wouldn't just throw Satan straight up into an everlasting hell without a fair hearing in court. Is that not why there is a judgement day? But he seems to think God should just do that straight up because , well, because the humans are suffering and somehow the devil is the cause for all their problems.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sermwell, I know you may want to ask why God didn't just set the Judgement day the same day (or the next day) Satan caused trouble. Unfortunately, the Judgement day cannot /could not have taken place until Christ must have come and done every thing he has been sent to do.
This is the reason why after the death of Christ, the apostles and the early Christians thought Jesus will return in their time and this current world will end with Satan being delivered up into everlasting torment. Before Christ died, No one, I repeat, No one expected the world to end and Satan be delivered up for judgement!
WHY SHOULD GOD SACRIFICE HIS OWN SON WHEN HE CAN SIMPLY DESTROY SATAN?
I don't really want to go very deep but let me also pen this down- Christ's death was not only for humans. The angels also needed it;
1. Through the overcoming of Christ, God was Justified before the angels. (Romans 3:4)... If Christ had not overcome, the angels, humans and the likes will not see God's judgement as just. However, given that Jesus (a man) has overcome, no tongue will be able to gainsay on that day when he is found wanting.
2. Through the death of Christ, the angels (and humans) found MERCY before God. (Rev 5:cool.. If he wasn't sacrificed, everything would have returned to square one as no one will be saved!
What shall we now say, God wasted his time creating man and angels in the first place?
What shall we now say, God should kill Satan (without Christ, y'all will go down with him) and end everything?
God forbid!

CrescentMoon:

The problem is not with God or his supernatural powers, it's actually with the person or the specie being judged.
Imagine God throwing every being that lived before Christ into the eternal, I meant the ones that were not Israelite and never heard about God or heard about Jesus. Imagine I were part of them, what do you think I will say? If I ask you if God was right throwing people into hell because they never heard about him (which obviously, isn't their fault), what will you say? I believe you will say "Yes". However if I ask you how he was right, you will say something as humanly dumb as "because God is a good God".
Read this....

Isaiah 55

"My ways are not your ways, so are my thoughts not your thoughts. As the heaven is far above the earth, so is my ways and my thoughts far above yours" -God himself!

So trying to darken counsel with words is very much unwise.

I created a robot and made it to know what "beautiful and ugly" is. Then I said, hey look, this is beautiful!... The robot however said, no its not. I should ask the robot, who enlightened you and gave you the revelation of "Beautiful and Ugliness"..

Over and over and over and over and over again, God many times had taken his time to make Men (and even some angels!) see of a truth that what he did was Just, that what he did was Right, that what he did was spurned from love. And yes! Men after being reenlightened had no choice but to concur and worship.

This God is actually not tasked with the responsibility of proving himself, but many times you see, he does so that all be fulfilled.

Modified:

Listen to this parable

A man (let's call him a prophet) had the privilege to see God shower his wrath on a city. The city had done so so so great evil in the sight of God and after many many warnings, God decided to treat their Bleep up. He wiped out every man and woman in the city. Howbeit, he didn't stop there, his wrath also descended on the infants in the city, he wiped them all for good.

The prophet understood why God wiped the city, he agreed with God cleaning up the adult male as well as the adult female. However he was puzzled, why did God have to descend his wrath on the innocent infant kids and take their life? He kept pondering and pondering and decided to ask God himself. He made his petition to know why, as to him, killing innocent infants was unjust. "Thou art a just God, why did you then wipe the innocent kids along with their evil parents?"-He cried.

At night, the prophet laid on his bed to sleep but it was as if the winds have been stopped. After trying to cope for some time, he concluded that he will just go and sleep outside. He took his mat outside, laid it and slept on it peacefully. During that sweet sleep, he felt a sharp sting on the nape of his neck. With the speed of lightening, he crushed the ant and continued sleeping. Before he could drift back into his sweet dream, two more ants gave him a very sharp sting. He killed them likewise. This time the sleep was no longer enticing and he was more concerned about the ants. Before he could say Jack, he felt 3 more stings. Now very alert, he stood from his mat and tried to see the bastards disturbing his sleep. He realized that there was a small colony of soldier ants just under his mat. Immediately, he used his feet and a broom to kill those tiny creatures. Then he laid his mat on a new position (of course, he did confirm that there are no more ants) and ventured to continue his sleep. Then God asked him - "Just 6 ants bite you, how many did you kill? He said, I killed them all. God said - 94 ants did you no harm yet you killed them along with the guilty 6, justify yourself. Then the prophet said - all the ants are of the same specie. If I do not kill the remaining 94, it is natural that they bite me and never let me sleep. So knowing that they are of the same intent, I killed them all" .... Immediately, the prophet then realized why God asked him the question. It was the exact question he asked God, and the Lord hath made he himself to answer his question. Then he concluded - truly, thou art a just God!
Do you get the essence now?
God is not a bully Judge. You know, that kind of "I am right because my name is God. If you oppose me, I will punish you also"... No, no, no. Whenever God is to Judge, even the suspect will not have a single point against God's judgement. That is exactly why He is a just Judge.

Blabbermouth:

The problem is not with God or his supernatural powers, it's actually with the person or the specie being judged.
Imagine God throwing every being that lived before Christ into the eternal, I meant the ones that were not Israelite and never heard about God or heard about Jesus. Imagine I were part of them, what do you think I will say? If I ask you if God was right throwing people into hell because they never heard about him (which obviously, isn't their fault), what will you say? I believe you will say "Yes". However if I ask you how he was right, you will say something as humanly dumb as "because God is a good God".
Read this....

So those that died before God called Abraham will be reincarnated so that they can hear the gospel?

This is a discussion for another day. In this case, I used it to explain why God doesn't just use brute force and cover it up with "hahahahahahaha, my name is God".
