Tallesty1:
I saw it in one of his books. Have you read Angels and Demons?

Perhaps a character in his book said it. That's not like Dan Brown. I've read all his books.

Tallesty1:
Religion and science are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand - Dan Brown.

I strongly doubt that Dan Brown said this.

I'd love to see your face when you wake up on Inauguration Day.

salvation blackmail, keeping Abrahamic God's adherents in line since time immemorial

And highly effective too.

You should tone down the vitriol, lest you turn what promises to be an interesting thread into a pissing contest.

Na you take your mouth talk am o

but still an animal

jidxin:
I think u re a chimp....obviously u re nd u excaped frm d real zoo I think u re a chimp....obviously u re nd u excaped frm d real zoo

Yes you are right. But a chimp is smarter than an orang-utan.

Are there no animals around you? Abi na until dem begin make animal sounds before you recognize animal behaviour?

jidxin:
it is named zoo because we can find animals inside...or ve u seen a zoo without ar least 1 animal?

Really. You don go zoo before?

jidxin:
yes bros

jidxin:
I still. dont understand wat u guys refers to as zoo.... are you animals?

Na only animals dey for zoo?

We shall never see his like again. And now his watch has ended...

I don't understand this zoo anymore. Exactly what manner of cases would be tried in these courts?

You don craze finish.

foladara777:
How can something be necessary for God?? Can God make that evil no longer necessary?? It's seems u people don't really understand the point am making here

I understand that you are hell-bent on arguing against a God which you have created in your head. If you disagree, show me from the bible how you arrived at these omni omni attributes you are so determined to confer on God.

foladara777:
If he is good... Y create need for earthquakes??

Necessary 'evil' ??

foladara777:
No! It's exactly the God of the bible...
Bible says God can do all things, so that means God could have created the earth without the needs for earthquakes?? Is that right??

He also could have created a world with the need for earthquakes. Is that right?

foladara777:
Really?? That is in itself a limitation and limitations are against the idea of omnipotence... And am not even talking about illogicality...
When God created the earth, while allow earthquakes if he could have excluded them completely.. At the time of creation ooh

Limitations are against your idea of omnipotence, not the Bible's. You are arguing against a God you have created.

MsLady39:
Also let me remind folks that no one gets converted without having a desire somewhere in his/her heart. The desire may not be fully developed or it may be struggling, but it's there in those who eventually choose Christ. God is not a God of force. He doesn't take away one's right to choose.

Okay. Sounds legit.

foladara777:
Almighty means someone who can do ALL THINGS, ANY THING.

This is where I think you get it wrong. God's omnipotence does not apply to illogic. He can not make a rock so heavy He would not be able to lift, He can not make a square circle etc.

KingEbukasBlog:
In the Old Testament we could see God doing so many things - talking , expressing emotions , issuing commands - but in the New Testament we saw Christ doing the talking and making "reforms" , elucidation of moral teachings of Christ via inspiration by the Holy Spirit , then there is the Book of Revelations where we see God saying things etc , it was a revelation anyway .

So people who view the bible as an allegory tend to see the Old Testament as an allegorical view of the New Testament events . Like Noah and the flood , Jonah and the fish etc representing Jesus' mission and experience .

Remember , the Jews believe in God The Father as the Only God which is described as dwelling in unapproachable light - they reject the Triune nature of God but this nature of God actually draws man closer to God more than ever . Christ was physically present on earth and related with man and we have the Holy Spirit who took different forms in the bible and also play specific roles in the lives of men even today . That means in the New Testament , even today , it goes beyond anthropomorphism .

So the Triune nature of God does not make God any less anthropomorphic . I wanted people's response which could help me draw a logical conclusion on the Triune nature of God and anthropomorphism .

Alright. I don't think anything changed in the NT as I can remember a part of the Bible that tells us that Jesus is SEATED at the RIGHT HAND of the Father, ergo, no difference for Xenophanes.

foladara777:
No, but then he won't be the almighty. He's doing his best but if God can't create a plan without drawbacks or flaws, then he is not all powerful... If he was all powerful, he would have the ability to create a system where "evil would not be necessary"... Could god have prevented the death of the child while his plan still works perfectly?? U can't choose one or the other, it has to be both

I'm perplexed. What exactly do you mean by almighty?

MsLady39:
Hi,
What I mean is the Holy Spirit begins working with a person who's shown interest in knowing more about God, His existence, one's purpose etc. Every human being has "free-will." No one's destiny is pre-determined. Predestination would take away the whole concept of "choice." People can choose to believe or not believe, but it's not predestined.

Okay. But how then do you account for people who become converted without showing any interest. Eg Apostle Paul.

foladara777:
Wow, that makes sense in a weird way

Really? The atheist would usually scream special pleading at this point.

foladara777:
Yes.. It would make him not good... If I have the power to save a child from drowning, and I do not... I am not good

Sounds easy on the eye but have you wondered that it may be more complicated than we know? What if the child's death is a necessary 'evil', a result of events or processes the details of which our finite minds are not fully aware of. Would you still describe God as not good?

MsLady39:
Sorry folks,
I accidentally submitted my post before finishing it.
It is the Holy Spirit's job to "water" the seed Be patient & don't resort to tactics that cause your flesh to behave in a manner opposite of what you profess.
Blessings

This strongly suggests predestination. Does it mean a person cannot decide to repent? If yes, why bother preaching?

KingEbukasBlog:
You just took a cursory glance at the OP and mentioned me . Look at the title of the thread , what you actually quoted and see if your response makes any sense

Ayam not understanding you this boy. Does the triune nature of God render Him any less anthropormorphic?

foladara777:
The notion that God is all powerful and is good...

If a good and all powerful God decides to withold his goodness and power for some reason, would it make Him any less powerful and good?

davtosh:
Before clicking on this thread I already knew what I would meet and I wasn't disappointed.

I'm sure there comes a day and very soon when you type a topic like this you would be Referring to God Himself Jehovah.

Amen.

Please read my new post. " Evidence of God's Existence through Biblical Archeological Findings"

May my God locate you and bless you.

What archeologicals findings?

foladara777:
U have still not disproved my argument...
U claim earthquakes are necessary... I totally agree, couldn't God have created an earth where earthquakes will not be necessary. I mean, why make earthquakes necessary if I have the power to create an earth where earthquakes are unnecessary..
Is it that God cannot make the earth without making earthquakes necessary?? If this is the case, then it is not true that God can do anything.
If God has the power to make earthquakes unnecessary but he still chooses to make earthquakes necessary, then he's not a good god..
This simple argument shows why the Christian notion of God cannot be correct and it doesn't matter how many verses I quote, the fact won't change

What in this context do you mean by the Christian notion of God?

Anas09:
You sure hate God. Am praying for you.
I wish i know your name so that i can table it before God at Shiloh Notwithstanding, the Lord knows you.

Satan has no right whatsoever to destroy your life.
The entities that have taken over your mind and will shall leave you and the you that God created shall resurface and take charge of your mind.

Hopeful I love you. The heart of Christ is open towards you.

May God intervene in your case. Amen.

Hehehehe... Hopefullandlord your matter don reach Shiloh. I see you speaking in tongues soon.

I hope to attend this program one day.

Omudia11:
Wrong... You cancelled out the correct answer.

Another factor that should come into play is the message he preaches. Anyone who preaches anything contrary to Christ's messages isn't of God.

I cancelled it because practically every Christian claims to have it, though what I see them do looks more like psychoanalytical guesswork to me. Anybody can preach anything. TBJ is fake. I'm sure of it.
