MaziOmenuko: Then it was a setup. You didn't address the questions I raised, you cherry picked and avoided some areas. If, according to you, God wanted beings he could relate to, did he shut down his omniscient powers when it came to man? Definitely, he knows the end from the begining don't he? So he definitely knew that making man, giving him free-will and allowing him to make choices will end in disaster. According to the same scriptures u quoted,
'He regretted creating man afterwards'.
C'mon man! If I designed a program and knew the program would crash if I run it, I would simply go back to the designs and try to fix the bugs. I wouldn't run it like that and then act surprised thereafter when it crashes, and then start regretting designing the program. It doesn't make sense. I appreciate your arguments friend. The Christian walk is a "faith", not a science. You first must come believing and then your eyes will be opened to see the hidden things of God. If not, you will only see contradictions and arguments each time you open the Bible. 1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned
1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;Back to our argument, God is not a man. And he doesn't think like you. Above He is sovereign, though law abiding. He makes His own righteous laws and rules. He exercises His powers as He desires. God does no sin and does not use His omniscient mind to meditate and ruminate on the evils we are capable of doing. Corruption, wickedness and evil things are man's(devil's) invention not God's. Jeremiah 32:35 And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.(BBE) |

MaziOmenuko: If that tree was planted in sahara desert, there's no way Adam would have had it as an option to chose or not to chose from. Except it was all a setup. That story reeks of bullshi't to me, coupled with the fact that an omnipresent and omniscient God would know what would become of his creation if he left the tree there, and also would be right there when Adam was tempted, and would be right there when he ate it. Then he walks in thereafter, acting surprised that Adam ate the fruit. Or isn't he omnipresent again?
It's either a setup or a badly scripted folktale. The bible is no badly scripted folktale. That He is omniscient and omnipresent doesn't mean He uses His abilities recklessly. Sometimes, God sits back and allow us to surprise Him. That was the reason He made us humans- He needed an intelligent, free moral agent He can relate to. He has his angels and not one of them dare challenge or deviate from stated orders. Only man can surprise God. Please refer to the scriptures below. Genesis 6:5-6, 5 But the LORD saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time.
6 The LORD regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended. |

NPComplete: That means we are still perfect na. Since we are exercising freedom of choice everyday. So there's no need for us to be seeking perfection in God as the bible will have us do. We are perfect already. I was referring to Adam's state before "the fall" when I said perfection. Our perfection, as Christians today is positional. That's, we are perfect due to our belief and trust in Jesus Christ. Romans 3: 22-23, 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; |

NPComplete: Lol. God made the first man and woman perfect but they could still sin and disobey God? Nonsense
I think there's a reason God kept that tree there. He needed them to eat it so he can blame their imperfections on it. That's if the story in the Bible is true. Because it doesn't make sense. Adam exercised his freedom of choice. Been perfect doesn't mean you can't sin anymore . |

Too early to seek attention I don't support double dating. But for a man to date for 7 years is irresponsible to me. You only date(if necessary) when you are ready to marry. A man should harness his energy into productive God glorifying ventures not dating. |

Topgainer: Are you one of the PAs? Criticism is a part of Christianity, it shouldn't be an excuse for you and other followers of Prophet David Ibiyeomie to loose it all. Go through the screenshots on page one, if there is any repentance in your soul you should be ashamed of the caliber of Christians in Prophet Ibiyeomie's 'salvation' Ministries Inc.
When Criticized for doing the wrong things, you should examine you life and make amendments. When criticized for doing good, which is rare, you give thanks to God. My brother, that is Christianity.
Are you part of the PAs? I don't feel threatened. Ibiyeomie's Church Center is stinking, you lots need urgent reform not that I consider Ibiyeomie a Christian. His battle with Chibuzor Chinyere will expose them the more, not long from now they will jettison their oaths and make public their horrible secrets. Except one succeeded in killing the other, expect the stinking secrets in public domain soon. My faith is in Christ not on any man. Pastor David Ibiyeomie is a tool in the hand of God. And so far, God has used him to bless and deliver so many. I am one of them. If tomorrow it is discovered that he is a fraud. That will not invalidate God's word. But I pray, he stand. |

dataking: Just step back and read the nonsense you just wrote. Is it his money?? You are so gullible. Educated fools. Nonsense. Do you think imams can be taking muslims for fools like they do you folks. Shior You clearly have an issue with Christianity. Or you lack adequate knowledge of scriptures. Giving in Christianity is obligatory. No pastor or Man of God has the right to force or coerce you to give. Their duty is to teach and encourage you to give. God ask us to give to our pastors and others that labor in His vineyard. That some are abusing this privilege does not invalidate God's word. If you are led to give, please give without looking back. 2 Corinthians 9:7, Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. GalaTiana 6:6, Everyone who is learning God’s message from a teacher should give good things to that teacher. Every learner should give some of all the good things that he has to his teacher. |

Let's take it easy on men of God.
They all started out as humans(before they were transformed by God) , like most of us. They make mistakes too. But that doesn't define them. It is their believe in Christ, that defines and justifies them. Nobody, nobody has the right to condemn any man called by God.
By the way, David Ibiyeomie is my pastor and I stand by him. God used him to revive me when I was spiritual bankrupt. I glorify God for his life.
David Ibiyeomie is a giver also. Some kids in my local church at Aba, Abia State, got scholarships from his foundation. He could have kept the money for himself...but he gave. |

Hati13: Life is based on free will. I totally agree. We all have a choice. You have a choice to choose Jesus Christ (life) or death. The choice is in your hands. John 3:16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. |

Nairaland General › Re: Is Life Predestined Or Does Free Will Actually Exist by SLOVFO(m): 10:22am On Oct 27, 2017 |
You make your own choices. That's what distinguishes us from other beings in creation. We are free moral agents. But having said that, we all have a blueprint/map, made by God for us to follow. How well you follow that blueprint, will determine how truly successful and fulfilled you would become. Being born again and listening to God will help you discover your purpose for living. Remember, God will not force you to follow his will for your life. Except in exceptional cases. |

When presented with the theory that their saviour was black white Christians often say, "He may not have been white, but he definitely wasn't black!"
But why couldn't it be possible? The Bible says that black people lived among the Israelite ranks. We know this because an entire book - The Song of Solomon - was essentially love poetry about the blackness of King Solomon and the beauty of King Solomon black wives. As we all know, Jesus was a descendant of David and Solomon. One of the black brides of Solomon could have been Jesus' ancestral grandmother. Whether white, yellow, brown or black, the important thing is that Jesus is the only way (and Savior). And He died and was raised for the salvation of the entire human race, irrespective of colour, race and tongue. Just receive Him into your heart by faith. |
