Precisely because he was 100% man.
The Holy Spirit is Not man, neither is the Father

PastorAIO:
I made a post earlier today quoting Ezekiel 20:25 and 26
It would fit in this thread.

25Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life, 26and I defiled them through their very gifts in their offering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it that they might know that I am the LORD.

The words of your ghoul

God did not literally author or command these bad laws; rather, He allowed Israel the natural consequences of their own rebellion. When Israel insisted on serving false gods, God removed His protective restraint, allowing them to fall into the horrific practices of the surrounding pagan nations, including human sacrifice.
Thus the text reflects God "allowing" these detestable practices to play out, using their ultimate failure to teach Israel that He alone is the Lord!

PastorAIO:
You are not ready for a conversation

Hope u know the meaning of anecdote. Want more? My whole life is that!
Countless times I've prayed and things happened!

PastorAIO:
If you don’t have any actual anecdotes to share then abeg let’s just leave it.

Oh now he wants anecdotes. Is fearlessness anecdote enough 4 ya? One time in a new place between sleep and wake a demon appeared and politely asked if I could accommodate him. I was not scared at all. I told him to disappear as I belonged to Jesus. He hurriedly went out through the window

PastorAIO:
I asked you how it working in your life expecting personal anecdotes and you’re giving me bible verses. Abi is it that you don’t understand English? What language would you rather communicate in?

Then you claim to have peace yet you are not demonstrating peace.

A question that should not even arise. Below is what I wrote. Did you miss the circled?

PastorAIO:
Why are you shouting with all your ‘are you kidding’ etc.? Surely you’re capable of having a civil discussion? Or is this part of your ‘peaceful’ life?

Because you keep asking the same question, even throwing in "don’t act dense", even after my long epistle detailing some biblical promises!

PastorAIO:
It is a simple question. Don’t act dense. How has your placebo helped you in your life?

Are you kidding or what? And he keeps saying "placebo". My friend I have a very peaceful, successful, and miracle-filed life simply because I believe all the Biblical promises and they work in my life!

Funny person u r OP. How is this news? A person can change their name to whatever they wish, barring illegality

udofia234:
I'm feeling the pain of being fooled all this year's ... Damn... I had pure love for her bro... I'm pained

Not true. People who had pure love for someone or something don't behave like you are behaving

udofia234:
She met me first, is the father's there not dlfucking her? I cannot love again she did that to me, now I can't trust any lady....

And how do you know the priests are fucking her and even if they are, must you join in??

udofia234:
That's your view bro.... I will knack her by all means... We never had sex cos we promised to wait after marriage..... I'm pained

Fine. Just know you never truly loved her. Love doesn't work like that. There have been many people throughout history who loved each other throughout their lives but never had sex or never even physically met! See some below

Funny guy, there was only ONE candidate!

Saturnalia:
Everybody in Anambra is a Billionaire. Shioooor!

Na so them they talk, when I personally know some church rat Anambarans

udofia234:
Haba! I don't love her and I was affected for six years? That thing wey I no collect them I go do am now....

If you loved her, her appearance again and possibility of being with her again will overwhelm everything else. Your main concern won't be sex. Even if you suffered for 10.years what you had for her was not love.
Imagine a mother who lost her child and he suddenly appears again after 6 years; or the prodigal son in the Bible

PastorAIO:
And I take it that it doesn’t matter to you whether or not the provenance of the bible is proven to be merely human, and worse still the basest of human expression.
How, if I may ask, has this approach helped you in your life? I understand the case of placebo in medicine where we can see a correlation with a patient’s heath improvement and the patient’s belief that the pure chalk that he is swallowing is actually medicine. Placebo has been proven in medicine.
Please in your case, how has believing the bible to have divine provenance improved your life?

It's almost like you don't know what you're saying. Have u read some of what Lord Jesus promises his followers? Abundance and peace here on earth and heaven afterwards.
Mark 16
"In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
I take all that literally.
Or
John 14:27 (NIV), where Jesus says: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid"
Or
Matthew 6:33 - "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you"

Sensiblerealist:
Okafor's law must be revisited as always.
ALLEGEDLY IN CAPS 😆 😂

In this particular case I don't see why not - they're both single!
Infact you can say it is inevitable😅

You probably never loved her either. If you truly loved her you'd still love her and won't be talking of knacking.
It is a huge gift to have someone you actually love

They took photos because they know Kemi
O-lunatic will definitely come out to say she was never pregnant!

*BTW Bianca is now FFK direct boss!

XENOPHOBIC PEOPLE, CLOWNS, THE WHITE AFRICANAS ARE BETTER THAN THE THEM

You can't blame them. They're fighting for their lives. They know they're lazy and not innovative and therefore can't compete. What do you want them to do??

PastorAIO:
Believing god is omnipotent and can get ‘his intended words’ to people does not automatically mean that the bible is such an ‘intended words’.

Exactly. We as humans will never know. BUT I CHOOSE to believe 100% that it is! That's where my power comes from as a believer, NOT endless, fruitless questionings and investigations!
(I modified my post by the way)

Theawakensoul:
Honestly, I think that’s one of the best questions anyone has asked so far.

Because yes…
despite translations, edits, interpretations, church politics, and centuries of human involvement…

👉 the Bible is still helping some people.

I acknowledge that fully.

Some people have found through it:
👉 hope
👉 healing
👉 purpose
👉 discipline
👉 inner strength
👉 spiritual meaning

And I don’t think that should be dismissed casually.

But here’s the deeper point I’m making:
Something being impactful does not automatically mean every part of its historical formation was untouched, perfect, or beyond examination.

Those are two different conversations.

A book can:
👉 transform lives
AND
👉 still have a complex human history.

For example:
music can heal people emotionally.
Stories can change lives.
Philosophy can awaken minds.
Poetry can transform consciousness.

Human beings are deeply affected by meaning.

So yes, the Bible absolutely carries power for some group of people.

But then we must ask:
👉 where does that power come from exactly?

Is it:
👉 divine inspiration?
👉 collective faith?
👉 spiritual symbolism?
👉 wisdom accumulated across centuries?
👉 psychological transformation?
👉 consciousness responding to meaning?

Maybe it’s a mixture of several things.

My point has never been:
👉 “the Bible is useless.”

My point is:
👉 people should understand WHAT the Bible actually is.

Not a book that fell complete from heaven untouched by history…

but a collection of writings:
👉 written by humans
👉 preserved by humans
👉 translated by humans
👉 selected by institutions
👉 interpreted across centuries

And despite all that…
many people still encounter wisdom, transformation, and spiritual awakening through it.

To me, that doesn’t weaken the conversation.

It actually makes it more fascinating.

Because maybe truth, meaning, and spiritual insight can still shine through imperfect human systems.

And maybe questioning history does not destroy spirituality…

maybe it helps people approach it more consciously.

QUESTIONING EVERYTHING 🌿

Theawakensoul:
I actually understand your point.

And honestly, you’re right about one thing:

👉 faith, belief, and meaning can have very real psychological benefits.

They can:
👉 help people survive suffering
👉 create hope
👉 provide emotional stability
👉 build community
👉 give purpose during difficult times

I don’t deny that at all.

But here’s the deeper question:

🔥 Does something become true simply because it is comforting or useful?

Because throughout history, many beliefs gave people:
👉 comfort
👉 identity
👉 certainty
👉 emotional security

and yet were still questioned later.

My point is not:
👉 “faith is bad.”

My point is:
👉 truth should not be afraid of investigation.

You said faith is not strengthened by constant questioning.

Sometimes that’s true.

But then we must ask:
👉 what kind of faith completely collapses the moment difficult questions appear?

Because personally, I think there’s a difference between:
👉 blind certainty
and
👉 examined understanding.

One is inherited.
The other is consciously explored.

And honestly, questioning does not always destroy belief.

Sometimes it refines it.
Sometimes it deepens it.
Sometimes it removes fear and leaves only what is genuine.

Also, I agree that absolute truth may be difficult for humans to fully grasp.

But that doesn’t mean we should stop:
👉 investigating
👉 reflecting
👉 learning
👉 or examining inherited ideas critically.

Because without questioning, people can inherit:
👉 falsehood
👉 manipulation
👉 superstition
👉 or institutional conditioning
without ever realizing it.

So I’m not arguing against meaning, spirituality, or even faith itself.

I’m arguing against the idea that beliefs should be protected from honest examination simply because they feel valuable.

Because comfort and truth are not always the same thing.

And if something is genuinely true…
it should survive sincere investigation, not depend on fear of questioning.

QUESTIONING EVERYTHING.

Very well-written. But I answer you with same words I used for guy above:
You believe God is omnipotent yet you don't believe same God can get something as important as his intended words (or the Bible exactly as he intended it) into the hands of men. And that he can do this through human manipulations and misinterpretations!

As for your insistence on "truth" and questioning, if you truly start questioning, the first few questions will collapse everything: where did God come from, who created God? If God is so human-like and so into human affairs, why doesn't he simply show himself directly in a way that leaves nothing to doubt? Why do unspeakable evil and massive natural disasters exist? Why is the all-important earth so tiny it is invisible even by microscope (smaller than an atom - see below)? Etc.

Non of these questions are answerable from our human perspective (I mean answering them honestly and directly not the usual "uncaused cause" convoluted answer).
So if you consider your faith valuable and important to you, you spend your time on things that strengthen it, NOT on things that are, frankly, beyond you as a human being (like what are the exact original words Genesis?!)

HeatSeeker:
This is a cynical way to put it

Not cynical at all but realistic. You believe God is omnipotent yet you don't believe same God can get somrthing as important as his intended words (or the Bible exactly as he intended it) into the hands of people! And that he can do this through human manipulations and misinterpretations!

Amen!
Good one from GO Adeboye

You can't destroy Iran with conventional bombs.you can just damage not wiping off the map as you originally inferred and people have been changing their ways before religion was invented, I am surprised you don't know this

If yiu destroy a country's power plants and all oil extractors, refineries, and infrastructure, what else is left?
Gove example of a horrible person who suddenly changed and started preaching to people to be good and loving, based on nothing

lawani:
The US could have nuked the USSR before the USSR acquired nukes but they didn't and now they will not nuke any country or is it now that many countries have nukes that they will use nukes in a war they initiated? President Trump has announced that there will not be the use of nukes and it is nothing to do with Christianity but to do with maintaining balance and peace on Earth.
People changing from their evil ways have existed since the beginning of time and it is not something introduced by religion. The only thing introduced to Earth by religion is aggression over God and nothing else

Who said anything about nukes?? He'd destroy Iran with conventional bombs as he previously threatened - and the Pope and other religious leaders strongly condemned the statement.
An armed robber won't suddenly stop being an armed robber. The internet is full of testimonies of people who changed their ways after they found religion

omoowhe:
Good question bro, by the way there's Anarchy already and it's been on for the past 60 odd years!! What difference does mk now

Maybe there's a deeper explanation. I'm awaiting OP response

GodisStriking this is your new moniker

Ok, but doesn't God already know. I'm just curious

lawani:
In the pre Christian world, they fought only over territory but in the Christian world, they now fight over faith in addition to territory. We don't need more reasons to fight wars and even wars over territory are no longer common as it used to be while war over God continues

There is now Christian and Moslem morality even in wars. What do you think prevents Trump from bombing Iran to stone age? In the old days he'd have done that long ago. Also, an armed robber could have been converted on his way to rob you without you ever being aware of it - that religion just saved you

shogotermies:
I feel this is a coordinated attack against this SEYI MAKINDE guy. All this began ever since he declared his intention for the presidency.

Just bad how Nigerians are suffering Nigerians just to tarnish the image of a particular person

Be serious for once. Any Yoruba guy from PDP who declares for president is a joker. Makinde declaring for president means less than nothing, a total, complete joke!

lawani:
Anything that has been established to cause wars shouldn't be allowed in public. It should not even be encouraged in private

I humbly took your assumption to Google. See the answer below.

We know at least no one takes defeated people as slaves anymore or as sex slaves. There were also nothing like war crimes
