Am sorry to hear that he had a stroke, this can happen to anyone but who are you blaming for this? Jesus is still in the business of healing today. It is obvious that he could not continue in his post and I believe the church is taking care of him and if this is not the case please refer it to the necessary quarters for their attention.



If you do know all the facts then I believe you should be in a better position to put it across to the key leaders who will address the situation. Have you exploited all these avenues?



What has changed is it the essential bible doctrines or the non essential church traditions? Where is the decree that you should not watch TV?



There are pretenders everywhere that should not get in your way of serving God.

Deeper life leaders are now playing politics in the church and GS may not know. While I was still with the church, I wrote to the then assistance coordinators requesting that they should fly him abroad for better treatments but they wickedly left him because they were willing and fighting to takeover his post. I am no longer religious fellow.

There is more that is more powerful than faith...

engineerboat:
Pretenders you say (among the 12 disciples 1 judas is there)

Moreso what is your own effort to help yhe said brother.

Dont you think you are also a culprit of what you are blaming others for.

And how was he abandoned or because somebody was used to replaced now mean been abandoned.

Deeper life changes its section leaders as deemed meccsessary for your info

What role did I play in the life of that sick man? Did he serve me? No! Even with that, I do go to his family with herbs and other things for him while I was around him. I tried checking if his fellow coordinator do visit but there is no one day I see his member during my visits. I feel so pained at how lonely the man was. I just begin to imagine how lonely and sick the man would be since I don't stay at the LG area again.

I doubt the god of deeperlife would heal this man. That man is full with faith, why can't he meet his own miracle during one of the retreats. If your god heals He should first start with the man.

why would god need faith before he can heal? If faith heals why can't this man be healed? I know this man to be man of faith... why does his faith not heal him? He was my mentor in the lord...

We are not only rich in local currency we are rich in international and heavenly currency.

bro, did you know brother Aborishade, General children coordinator for Old Festac Group District? I think he is now been replaced because of his stroke since 2011. That man really worked for the lord in deeper life and served with all his heart but was abandon to his fate... This is just height of wickedness to their own faithful...

I grow up in deeper life. From children church to adult church... Don't just think it is hearsay, it's what I know about. I was the former youth head of ajangandi District when deeper life uses Ayobo the present location for Anchor University as their camp ground for their retreats meetings.

Deeper life has really changed just like APC... They now watched TV and do other things they don't do before.

Jesus only is our message-the most popular retreat hymn. Deeperlife are full with a lot of pretenders.

i hate wen this stuff happens

imagine the number of graduates that keep graduating each year. How can you keep millions of Projects in a room? The best thing for universities to do is to create online library.

bemind:
I have exactly 6 months starting January to improve my yoruba speaking skills. This is a personal goal I have set for myself. I find it quite ridiculous that I am yet to speak yourba fluently having spent the bulk of my adult life in Lagos. Is there anyone here who has successfully self-studied the language? For those who are native to the tongue, what in your opinion would be the fastest eat to improve speech proficiency?

I just want to share how I learnt Hausa and I believed it may help...

(1) I bought Hausa books and movies to listen to the phonics and the rest. I watched Hausa Nollywood movies.

(2) I tried to be in the gathering of Hausa people where I can practice what I learnt. I wrote it down according to the way they do speak it.

(3) I tried learning and saying at least one one word a day. I took this as a duty daily and I must speak Hausa daily to an Hausa person or friends. I learnt my Hausa here in Lagos... sai gobe...

BeastAmbition:
How is atheism a religious group?

I can define religion as group with the following in common
(1)dogmatic beliefs:
(a) No god vs there is good(...They make the same claim as those of Christians, Muslims and the rest but just in opposite.
(b) No life after death vs there is life after death... they also make opposite claims of other religions.
No proof or evidence to show for the above.. .i called atheism "double negative religion"

Wilgrea7:
.
I'm a Christian bro

is Christian god real?

Wilgrea7:
Atheists are ready to support anybody as long as they don't follow religion... especially Christianity

sometimes i feel sad for them

Are you a deist or agnostic?

onyenze123:
Christianity is a REVEALED religion (others include Islam, Judaism...) that teaches that man is a FALLEN BEING that is in need of REDEMPTION. He must have FAITH and TRUST in the AUTHORITY of the bible and/or the church (because the church has a special revelation from God) in order to be redeemed and saved. (Islam, Judaism... also lay claim to different special revelations from God)

The question is why am I abandoning my religion?

I have carefully done my research and discovered that there are a whole lot of contradictions and confusion with regards to the teachings of revealed religions. These have generated so many controversies, wars, enslavement of the mind and backwardness. I have seen that in the bible, countless threads between atheists and theists here on Nairaland, from other religious books, from the preachings of christian and other religious leaders and so on. I can't entangled myself in this confusion and contradictions and that is why am abandoning my religion.

Do I believe in the existence of God?

Here is a quote from Albert Einstein:

"My religion consists of a humble ADMINISTRATION of the ILLIMITABLE superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our FRAIL minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, form my idea of God." - Albert Einstein.

Ans: Yes I believe 100% in the existence of God. Someone created the universe, nothing creates itself.

My New religion: Deism/Natural Religion

I will seek for God daily through LOGIC and OBSERVATION of nature. I believe I am IGNORANT and I need constant ENLIGHTENMENT/EDUCATION to improve myself daily. My redemption lies in REASONING backed by FACTS and EVIDENCE.

"God did not give me religion, he gave me reason"

Thank you.

QUESTIONS I ASKED ATHEISTS WHEN I WAS A DEIST....YOU COULD LEARN MORE BY ASKING THEM THESE...
Q1 : Why do you say there is no creator that creates nature? What physical or theoretical proof or evidence do you have to conclude there is no god or the creator never exits at any time?

Q2 : Since most atheists disagreed that the nature is not a creation rather they agreed that it is either eternal or accidental within nature, what evidence of proof do you have about your either agreements or chosen choice?

You did miracle using psychological means, and u call yourself a miracle worker? pls who is talking of medicine and psychology here? eh who? That u are old and big does not mean you are wise and learned. pls my prayers were answered pure and true, some while still praying self. The funny thing is that i do not require any man of God to pray for me before they got answered. secondly,if i ask Mr A to give me something secretly, Why should mr z take d glory for that?

Can you share the testimony of what the Lord God has done in your life? Maybe that can change me to accept your god

SHOW WHERE THE BIBLE TAUGHT AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS TO ENSLAVE PEOPLE.

It is not just European or Americans, it all who follow the Bible doctrines without saying we are in the time of grace. There are biblical evidence that shows your god as found from my study and evilbible.com.I think this chapter can show you the biblical exidence. They have the bible first before you do. Read the directions of your god on the passage below

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

SHOW ALL THE LAWS.

THEN SHIW EXAMPLES OF THE OYINBOS FOLLOWING THESE COMNANDMENTS OF GOD YOU SAY ARE IN THE BIBLE, TEACHING THEM TO COMMIT SLAVERY.

. EXODUS 21:16.

16. "And he that stealeth a man,
and selleth him,
or if he be found in his hand,
he shall surely be put to death."

IS THIS ONE OF THE "IMMORAL LAWS?"

DEUTERONOMY 15:1-18.

AT the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
2. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; He shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release.
3. Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
4. Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
5. Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
6. For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as He promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
7. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8. But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which He wanteth.
9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying,

"THE SEVENTH YEAR,
THE YEAR OF RELEASE,
IS AT HAND;"

and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and He cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
10. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
11. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying,

"THOU SHALT
OPEN THINE HAND WIDE
UNTO THY BROTHER,
TO THY POOR,
AND TO THY NEEDY,
IN THY LAND."

12. And if thy Brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
13. And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
14. Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
15. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
16. And it shall be, if He say unto thee,

"I WILL NOT GO AWAY FROM THEE;"

because He loveth thee and thine house, because He is well with thee;
17. Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and He shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
18. It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for He hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

ARE THESE SOME OF THE IMMORAL LAWS YOU SAY ARE IN THE BIBLE?

The Commandments of YAHWEH GOD are THE LAWS OF LIFE- they are not ARBITRARY.

If you want to build a LIVING CELL, a TISSUE, an ORGAN, an ORGANISM, a SETTLEMENT, a NATION, or a WORLD- THESE are the PRINCIPLES that must be used.

Were you not taught BIOLOGY in SLAVE SCHOOL?

Where they not only keep you PRISONER for YEARS, they not only force you to learn USELESS KNOWLEDGE that will NEVER be useful to you in life- THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR YOUR ENSLAVEMENT!

That is NOT what the Hebrews were taught.

(1) Your Bible god accept human sacrifices, check this out on -->>> https://www.nairaland.com/3345593/unbelievable-bible-god-accepts-human. Is that good?
(2) Your bible god encourages slavery, is that good?
(3) Your bible god commits genocide, is that good?
(4) Your bible god sent lying prophets, what is that teaching us?
(5) Your bible god encourages rapes, is that ok for you? and many more with evidences...

[color=teal]you're narrow minded and hell bent on your opinion why should i engage you in a dialogue [/color]

Really? narrow minded for asking you this; 'what is that your question'? smh. I see you don't have any point and so you now resort to a fallacy.

Princewell2012:
My friend you haven't still learnt any lesson here, it seems you just read for reading sake.

Jephtan or what did you called him is a man of his word. It is not God that asked him to sacrificed his daughter. He made a vow and it appear that his daughter sawfaced and he had to carry it out.

That is how to know a king in those days, what ever they says they will surely do it, and have been known for that. They are a man of their words.

Remember herod, he also told his daughter in the presence of the audience, he vowed a vow that what ever she needs even half of his kingdom he will give it to her, but through the advice of her mother the head of John the Baptist was demanded.
See, king herod was not happy about about it, but for the sake of his listeners and the vow he make, he has to Carried that asignment.
But God stops it when Abraham wanted to do the same thing.
And is nolonger practicable now.


Beside you have no right to question God, he owns you and can use you to do anything he wishes to do. Even this night he may decide to kill you and nobody can deliver you from his hands.

And frankly speaking no child of God can rebel against him, as you re doing now, only the disobedient ones does that, and they can never get it funny.

I wish you should repent from doing this, otherwise the end is very disastrous.

Fear God. You have been warned.

You are the one that does not learn or understand the bible passages clearly. Or you are not just honest with your judgment. Can't you see evidences of your god accepting human sacrifices? Does 'men of their words' has to do with your god accepting killing human?

nwasinachi:
Oya, hold it right there. Who told u that God dont answer prayers? I say who? I use to be as stubborn or even more stubborn than u, it was d same God through Jesus that humbled me. God forbid that i lie, but when i remembered what dis God did for me, o boy, i dey shiver!

You mean your god that use human for sacrifices answers prayers? I laugh! What type of things does this your god answers as prayer? Did he grow a new skeleton on human that you have seen without any orthodox or herbal treatments? I have done miracles using psychological means and so most(if not all) miracles are just psychological and others have medical explanation. Let us assumed your prayers was answered(of which i know is false), how do you know it was Jesus and not Devil that answered your prayers?

Lsofdk:
[color=teal]when you learn to answer questions, i would grant you a reply [/color]

Lsofdk:
[color=teal]My God doesn't, has never and will never.


what do you believe?[/color]

Is your god different from the god of old testament?

Lsofdk:
[color=teal]there's a lesson to be learnt.
In the process of asking too many questions, you miss the lessons [/color]

You refused to acknowledge that your god do commit evils. One of them is killing of humans and animals for 'burnt offering'. So many of you in the past have accepted that this actually happened in the old days of the bible. But why are Christians here rejecting the facts that is glaring to the eyes. Your god accept human sacrifices, lay rules for getting slaves,send lying spirits to his prophets and other evils.Yet you claimed he is the all merciful, the all loving, all righteous god and so-and-so god...

Lsofdk:
[color=teal]you didn't get my question, i have read everything on this thread… i said show me where God demanded he sacrificed his daughter [/color]

Just as i said you need to read the post again. In the post i mention where they lament for her and other things that shows that she was actually killed. REad!

jared007:
Hi seggzz this will be my last reply to u on this topic becos u bore me with ur scriptural ignorance. In 2Samuel 21:1-14 there were two Mephibosheths identified. First is Mephibosheth the lame son of Jonathan(2sam4:4; 9:6-13; 19:24-30; 21:7). Secondly is Mephibosheth son of Saul(2sam 21: 8. The second Mephibosheth was the one killed becos he was part of Sauls bloody house dat killed the Gibeonites thereby breaking the agreement dat Israrel had with the Amorites(Gibeonites) in Joshua 9:3, 16-17. As for Numbers 31 i ve explained dat b4 in my first comment. Read it again.

I agreed with you about the identity of the hanged Mephibosheth but were they involved in the peace treaty? Israelites made a covenant with the Gibeonites four centuries before the days of David.Can't you wonder how and why it is necessary to kill seven descendants of Saul for something done years earlier, having to do with a covenant that was 400 years old? Was the other five direct son of Saul? The LORD requested for the seven people to be hanged to appease him. And they carried out the plan. It was the LORD that show David and it was the LORD the asked the Gibeonites to hang them in order to end famine in the land of Israel? That is what I want you to know that your god accept killing of humans and animals for appeasement. I am sure you cannot deny that they were actually killed for the LORD. You can't also deny that David deliver the seven descendants of Saul because of the famine in the land. If you do then i will show you evidence from the bible passages. Why do you think your god can do wonders/good only if there is shedding of human or animals blood?

jared007:
Hey seggzz God passed justice on those seven sinners tru execution by hanging and not as a human burnt sacrifice. The problem with u guys is dat u cant understand a scripture even when its clarity is staring at u.

Mephibosheth, an humble but disable and good servant of King David a sinner? Quickly point at the sins the seven did as record in the bible. Why not punish or hang all the people of Israel? What typed of sins that make your god hang a lame man and other six? Is He not called love and all merciful god? They were just selected to appease the LORD GOD. Did you just say 'just'? How is their hanging related to the sins they committed. Human still sympathizes with the disable but your just and all merciful couldn't behave the way he is being reference. Your God is really terrible! If you can support this terrible deeds of your god it therefore means you can do likewise by offering your loved ones to be killed if you have that capacity.

Another Example blood sacrifice is found in the Numbers 31
25And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of people and of animals, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

27And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

28And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one out of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the cattle, and of the donkeys, and of the sheep:

29Take it from their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave offering of the LORD.

30And of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one out of fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all manner of animals, and give them unto the Levites, who have charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

31And[b] Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.[/b]

32And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

33And three score and twelve thousand cattle,

34And three score and one thousand donkeys,

35And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:

37And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and three score and fifteen.

38And the cattle were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was three score and twelve.

39And the donkeys were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was three score and one.

40And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.

41And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.(Numbers 31:26-41,biblehub KJV)

Lsofdk:
[color=teal]Show me where God demanded he sacrifice his daughter, he made a vow of his own free will, God didn't impose it on him, perhaps such vows were prompted on the fact that on most occasions he's being met by his servants first, The Scriptures were written that we may learn and not question. Christians have learnt from Jephthah[/color]

The answer to this your question is present in all my posts and quoted posts. Open your eyes and read carefully what i posted.

adjoviomole:
Ion know about them but as for me, God answer's my prayer. I have never been to an hospital before, I was not even born in one. I don't use drugs. I can't even remember wen I was last sick, its not 5 yrs not even 10yrs ago. And even when I was sick I never used any drugs, I pray and my pastors annoit me with oil and pray for me, and God heals me free of cost....I am 100% fit, I am a footballer, I play as a striker in the no 9 or as no 8. So I got nothing to worry because my God does it for me, he is my father, my heavenly Father

I asked you a question that if god answers prayers why do we need hospital rather you moved away from the question. If your god answers prayer then leave that football pitch and go out to heal those mad people in the hospital or on the street. At least we can start from there. You would gain a lot healing these people because you would remove hospital fees and restore the joy of their relations if you heal them. Their loved ones will surely give you something that would change your live.

jared007:
we will keep moving in circles until u show me where jephtha sacrificed his daughter to God. I ve already showed u my proof dat she was to remain a virgin in d tabernacle serving God for d rest of her life.

I am really surprise with this your statements. You can see for yourself that he offered her as 'burnt offering' to the LORD GOD. The word 'burnt offering' appears 244 times and they all mean the same thing; As used in Exodus 29:18-"And thou shall burn the whole ram upon the alter: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire."

The hanging of seven men to appease the LORD GOD is also not killing?

1Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

2And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

3Therefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make the atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?

4And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shall you kill any man in Israel. And he said, What you shall say, that will I do for you.

5And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the territory of Israel,

6Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.

7But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

8But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

9And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

10And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and allowed neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
(2 Samuel 21:1-10)

From the above seven, people was hanged or killed unto the LORD. There are many examples of such. He scent both the blood of animals and human to forgive and for prizes. I wonder why you turned blind eye to my statements on my post. Worshiper of god that drinks human and animals blood check this out! Burnt offering meaning reaming the same throughout the scripture. It simply means killing,burning and use of blood,shikenna!

adjoviomole:
Did God answer is prayers or not?
If you can't see the lesson to learn from this, bye have a nice day. What I learnt from this is that we should be careful of the promises we make to God and to people.

If god answer prayer why do you diseases and death prevail over his own that serve him diligently. The Hospitals and other institutions have already testify god doesn't answers prayers. Why do we need hospitals if god answers prayer?

jared007:
You must be a bloody atheist to think u scored a goal? Well let me deflate ur pride. Firstly God does not accept human sacrifice becos dats a violation of his Mosaic-leveticus laws. Secondly if u read judges 11:30-39 carefully u will see dat his daughter was not meant to be offered and offered as a burnt sacrifice but to remain celibate as a virgin for the rest of her life. Virgins those days used to vow to serve God in his tabernacle(Ex 38: 8 others were offered as virgins to God(Num 31:15-40). Jephtha's only child was a virgin girl so she went to lament 4 two months becos she would never marry and Jephtha was sad becos there will be no descendats 4rm his seed. Verse 39 of judges 11 says "she knew no man" this prooves she remained a virgin 4 d rest of her life. Now run along Mr Atheist!

Check the bolded statements above and read my next statements that follows. The child was actually sacrificed if you are honest and to who? God! I think your god knew Jephthah would surely use his only child as a sacrifice to him(bible god) except you are saying your god is not the all knowing. Why did he choose to take the only child of Jephthah since he knew the event would happened?Did he drink human blood? If No, why waste human blood in vain? of what use did he need the blood? Why not he send goat to first meet him? Why not he do just like Abraham scenario?

adjoviomole:
The people chose to sacrifice what thex chose... They made a vow to do something and they must do it...

Same way God made a vow unto some ppl in the bible and he did what he vowed to do.

Lesson to be learnt we should be careful of the vows we make, God will surely do is own part in the vow,ours shld be done as promised no matter how hard it is...

If promises of human blood can be accepted by your god then your god is not different from 'oro'-one of traditional deity. What lessons can you learn from a god that accept human sacrifices? Is there no other lesson to teach Jephthah without taking the only child? Is that not wickedness?

cindyrocks:
Keep digging up chapters and verses to criticise the Bible while the saints of God keep going to heaven daily.


"Choose this day whom you will serve. As for me and family we will serve the living God."



The choice is yours.

The God you serve accepts human sacrifices? And you are OK with it? Is that even normal to be found in the bible that claims to be word of god and not of men?If heaven is guarantee by obeying all the commandment in the bible then no Christian can get to heaven because non of them can obey all the laws in the bible.

ColinAdua Jehovah God created human beings and He is wholeheartedly permitted to do to us as He wishes!

So he created us to killed. He created us so that he can use us for blood sacrifices. What version of LOVE does your god? Is your god the same that go against killing?

That's what those places are teaching.

Giving us bad or good examples to follow? If this is good, of what use is this good to human?

Just like Him telling the children of Israel to wipe out or destroy a nation for their wickedness.

So, he is teaching us by killing us, is this more reasonable as a human? Will you allow your country Nigeria to be destroy just because a god says so?

Moreover, all these has been set aside by the sure perfect covenant and ministry of Jesus Christ called Christianity and is no longer obtainable.

Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour today.

I should accept the god that uses Jesus(His son) as blood sacrifice? What examples does this teaches parents with their children? Can you accept traditional religion which kills human for blood sacrifices?
