solidbroda: However, I'm more puzzled when you said that God made heaven for the poor as there own reward "God have a good life for poor people but only once they have died, in the after-life."

I meant that God gave hope to the poor with the eternal life promise, that's why poor endure that kind of life, because they think that they'll be rewarded at the end a.k.a 'death'.
Poor believers also believe that 'God Doesn't give them more than what they can bear.' so all these verse help them to accept the bitter truth of their miserable life....

solidbroda: Are you meaning to say poor people sinners and no sinners are equally and likely to go to heaven?
Are you saying the rich are automatically damned?

Lol of course not, poor sinners will go to Hell and the rich believers can also go to Heaven. BUT the Bible says that it is more easy for the poor to go in Heaven than the rich because of all what the poor has endureth on Earth, they are more likely to be strong believers. The rich, because they have a good life on Earth doesn't realize the benefits of benefits of believing in God since they already have a fulfilled life...

solidbroda: Are u saying being poor is a gift?
And being rich is really a curse?

Well the Bible puts it like that yes. Being poor means that you are more likely to have a strong & unwavering faith in God while being rich you're distracted by material things thus forgetting about God. Do you know the story of 'Lazarus and the poor man' ? That's the perfect example of what I'm saying.

solidbroda: Once you are poor, you are good to go, into heaven of cause.
And being rich, you are going to hell of course.

That's not really what I said, this is a caricature...
It's MORE EASY for the poor to enter Heaven than the rich (see why above).

solidbroda: "Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's
dwelling, but a foolish man devours it"..prove 21:20. The bible discussed here about being rich and yet being poor is a gateway to heaven

I don't know of that verse but I know what I'm talking about
Too bad I don't know my Bible precisely, I can't quote any verse...

99cent: they look alike, don't they?

Yes very...

Stegomiah: sanboy, almost all d thread i opened 2day u ar always d 1st peson 2 comment, u dey get alert if peson open thread? lool
dis thread don turn chart room oo, wia is spikes c nd kabonic?

Lol, I have my little secret
I don't know, seems like the guys don't connect as often as before, even Atheist:-D is missing...

solidbroda: If satan rules the world, why did God now keep creating us into his world. This is like we are already damned on arrival?

Of course we are, all because of Adam & Eve who ate the fruit thus disobeying to God.

solidbroda: Besides, how many people can be true believers of God if they are in poverty? We have new sayings now that poverty is the root of all evil.

solidbroda: Poverty has been linked to sectarian violence, crime, prostitution, tribalism etc.

I wouldn't really blame poverty for these, I'd say it's more because of envy/coveting. It's because you see people that are better off than you that you envy them, then feelings like anger/injustice will rise in your heart and you'll want to have what they own by all means even by force = violence...

solidbroda: What is the chance of a poor man getting into heaven? So slim. Cos, no matter what a poor man does, he has to survive.

"It's more easy for a camel to pass in a needle's hole than a rich to enter Heaven" says the Bible... God have a good life for poor people but only once they have died, in the after-life.

solidbroda: Yea, I understand @sanboy. But why is it that prayer is not changing the position of poverty in Africa? Why is it that prayer is not changing the unemployment rate? Why why? Can a hard working man who has no Job be rich?
Can a bricklayers who's be praying ever since he's been a bricklayer not working hard enough?
Why is it that the richest people or rich people in the world are those who don't really pray and those who don't actually believe in any God?

Because Satan rules the world. He gives his believers material things right away whereas God like to promise things in the after-life.
If you want things right away you can sell your soul but there is no redemption after that, it will be Hell straight after death...

infonubia: Sanboy25, thanks for reading it. I'm glad the post had a positive effect on you.

You're welcome.

subtle009: Yet u opened it.

Of course, I wanted to be sure that I didn't care...

adaobi123: Disgusting

Lol, you're harsh...
I wonder if she can bear a child like that ?

SniperInADiaper: But isnt the purpose of dating so it will lead to marriage. Why would you date somebody you can't marry?

For the fun, for experience, to not to feel lonely...
That doesn't necessarily mean that you'll take the person to the altar...

ItsModella: End of story. This is why I can't date a younger man.

biolabee: appreciate ur honesty...

Thanks.
