Maybe, you meant the Quran. The Bible did not in anyway tell us that some were made for hell.

However, GOD wants every sinner everywhere to REPENT.

Religion is anti-nature
This is why I favour some religion above Christianity. Vandata, zen Buddhism, different system of the yoga religion etc has somemore logical n reasonable answers to questions like this than hide under the skin of an "unquestionable God".

Good and evil
War and peace
Friends and enemies
Matter and antimatter
Love and hate
Etc

Nature in it characteristics is of both positive and negative, it just finds a way to balance itself.
When you speak of a supreme being that is malevolent and omnipresent, loving and kind hearted and from the bible " the plan of God for us is of good and not evil(I av forgotten d book precisely). And yet all the evil of the world happens under his watch, we need to question his claims therefore.

I would accept a "supreme nature" rather than a subprime God tho..

My opinion

I believe in the cause of the big bang.

It does, most of the greatest thinkers of the past were theists.

Ranchhoddas:
You are making things up. They do not permit it but they do not call it sinful.

How the Bleep does CERN come into all this





Your grandeurs of delusions are.......fascinating.

Ranchhoddas:
Winners members accused Deeper life members of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and vice versa? Hmmmm...You can lie ooo. When did this happen?

DoctorAlien:
Come to think of it: if, at any time, any man ever needed more than one wife, it would be Adam. Amid the vast forms of life which swarmed the earth: beasts and birds and fishes, Adam was the only one of His kind. Surely he needed many people to keep him company and ease boredom, no? Yet GOD in His infinite Wisdom gave Adam just one wife.

Do you think He ever had polygamy in mind for man?

DoctorAlien:
NO! Exodus 21:10 doesn't say you can take a man's wife while the man is alive, and so GOD was speaking through Paul.

I quoted 1 Cor.7:30 because I was adressing the fact that David took over Saul's house and wives.

DoctorAlien:
Deut. 21:15 doesn't say "thou shalt take unto thee more than one wife" does it? As a matter of fact, the verse begins with "if" -- "if it happens that a man takes two wives..." GOD was giving guidelines in that verse as to how a man is the treat the offspring of his wives.

Now, a man can never take another man's wive as long as that man is alive, because a woman is not free as long as her husband is alive. However, she is free if her husband is dead. (1 Cor. 7:39)

Notice that GOD handed over Saul's household and his wives to David after Saul's death? Notice also that David took Bethsheba only after Uriah's death.

hopefulLandlord:
I'm already researching on polygamy in the bible and had planned to create a thread on it
.
nice thread BTW

EyeHateGod:
Nice thread!

Ranchhoddas:
Who told you these things. Are you making things up again?

DoctorAlien:
The bolded part: How?

2 Sam 12:8 "I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom..."

It simply means GOD gave David control over everything that belonged to Saul.

Ranchhoddas:
I am not sure I understand you. How do you know what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to know who has blasphemed and who hasn't?

DoctorAlien:
GOD was never, is never, and will never be in support of polygamy.

True, many of GOD's people were polygamists, but it doesn't mean that was GOD's plan for them.

First, GOD knows one woman is enough for a man, and so He created only Eve for Adam. He knows what is best for us.

And to show his disapproval of polygamy, GOD says that the position of a bishop in the church must never be occupied by a polygamist. (1 Tim. 3:2)

DoctorAlien:
Well, Sunday is not and has never been the right day of worship according to the Bible. Saturday is.

AnonyNymous:
Simple the old testament 'doesn't apply anymore' (except when it comes to paying tithes)

raphieMontella u should have known Kingebukablogs by Now Na The nigga is Ignorant i wonder if it is short memory span he has he tends to forget things easily

DoctorAlien:
Yes, by the grace of GOD.

Ranchhoddas:
The average Christian will tell you that Christianity is not really about the church or the denomination but each person's personal relationship with God. Have you considered the possibility that the differences you observe might just be expressions of their different levels of relationship with God? Or do you have the same relationship with everyone you know?

DoctorAlien:
The Seventh-day Adventist Church.

AnonyNymous:
His church.

lmao . Atheists read random books and regurgitate on Nairaland just to appear smart . We Christians are way superior in logic and reasoning . They are no match apparently . Sometimes it feels like you are discussing with a toddler .

KingEbukasBlog:
Where was the claim ?

winner01:
No. So what do you want me to do?
The Bible and its events reflect the supernatural.

DoctorAlien:
The fact that many factions exist within Christianity was clearly prophesied by the Bible.

Among all those churches you listed, there is only one that abides strictly by the Bible.

raphieMontella:
true on the society claim..but on the society..these various views are due to various ''human'' minds...
In christianity..t's said to be a relationship with ''God'' and his supernatural ''spirit'' guides christians...
Funny enough..most of these denominations can back up their claims with portions of the precious ''bible''..
So what im concerned is...how can this singular source ''holy spirit'' be so much diverse in its needs...

Ranchhoddas:
*Let me play advocate*... Capitalists, socialists, communists,nationalists, fascists, etc disagree on how a society should make progress; does this mean a society cannot make progress? Christians denominations disagree on a whole lot of issues; but they all agree on one thing; belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus as the sole requirement for salvation. All other things are just, well, other things.
