9. Why do christians take drugs? The bible says that sickness is caused by sins and healing is by faith and repentance. Drug is condemn as work of the flesh and those taking it won't inherit the kingdom of god. But why do christian disbelief their bible? Could it be that they don't believe that god can heal them?

MaxInDHouse:
You're interpreting what you don't understand!

Images were common in ancient times so God never told Israelites not to make images for the purpose of remembrance, what other nations do with the images is disgusting: bowing and worshiping it.

That's what God condemns!

You care to site an example of where jesus made images of himself and disciples?

MaxInDHouse:
At least i have answers!

your answers are just your own way of strengthening your excuses for not obeying your bible. It's just like adam in your genesis saying that the woman lured him to eat the forbidden fruits.

Why do believers detest poverty even when the bible says that the kingdom of heaven belongs to the poor. Rich men are instructed to sell out their possesions and distribute to the poor. The early christians counted it a privilege to be poor and sold out their material riches. So why do modern christians view poverty as a curse and pray for riches instead? Could it be that they don't believe their bible anymore?

Why do believers make images and drawings of jesus even when their bible clearly tells them not to make a representation of anything existing in heaven or earth? Interestingly,jesus didn't take pictures of himself or instructed his followers to do so,yet believers go on to make drawings and images of their god in books and stones. To be strict, believers shouldn't have photographs of themselves because its against their god's command. Could it be that they don't believe that their god is serious on this matter?

6.why do believers take vengeance? Jesus taught non resistance and yet believers hardly obey him on that. Some in as far as taking their case to court even when their bible tells them not to do so. Could it be that christians don't believe that god will always administer justice in the right way? Maybe they think they can do better than their god.

If you still have more questions regarding what our book says i'm still very much around.
I am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses!

So you now feel proud that you've done a great job. Hahahaha, i just don't see the need to counter your answers because it will lead to undending argument. Your answers are just what you were programmed to say by your white masters.

TUANKU:
Over 200 million Nigerians told you this am sure.

We are the cause of our problem and nobody can help us until we decide to help ourselves. Anyway, i will like to watch nigeria's extinction as a nation, a bunch of corrupt consumers going into oblivion is surely an enjoyable experience.

God doesn't change!

He made a covenant with a man called Abraham and promised to be faithful regarding this covenant that's why He did all what was written as a loyal friend for the descendants of His friend Abraham.

The promise He made concerning the earth stands but misinformed religionists are thinking God should continue doing all the things He did for the descendants of His friend Abraham when He made no covenant with your own ancestors!

in one word, he was the god of abraham. We should all follow the various gods of our ancestors?

"I am the Lord,I have never changed"; "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever". Do believers of the bible really believe that god is unchangeable? But when they do certain things in direct contrast with what their bible says, christians tell you that the bible was written when men did not open their eyes. "it is no longer like that" is what they likely say as an excuse to do what the bible forbids. Could it be that christians think that god has changed in some areas? He can no longer divide the red sea or raise the dead, he doesn't heal instantly anymore,he doesn't answer by fire now a days, he doesn't send manna from heaven anymore, etc. Why and when did he change?

Why do believers aspire for material riches even when jesus made it clear that a rich person CANNOT ENTER the kingdom of God? Jesus and his early followers didn't seek material riches and didn't instruct his believers to seek riches. So why do christians today think they can amaze wealth in the world and still make it to the kingdom of god. Could it be that they don't believe jesus on this matter?

MaxInDHouse:
I told you that out of fear people do so many things but when Jesus begin his rulership death, sickness, poverty, oldage, crime, hunger even all the forces of nature will work as if it's all for our good, no more storms, hail, tornadoes, pandemic and so on.
Ọmọ there will not be any reason to fear and do what we know is wrong!

i hope you guys say that if people obey God only in a favourable condition that will not settle the issue of human integrity? So you've now realize that you can't obey God until you live in a "bed of roses". So why all these years of suffering if God knew that humans can't obey him until your imaginary 1000yrs?

MaxInDHouse:
When someone does what is stupid you have to let him know that he or she is STUPID that's why Jesus and Paul used abusive speeches! Matthew 23:17; Galatians 3:1

So what did Jesus mean when he said:

"However, I say to you that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; and whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·henʹna" Matthew 5:22

Here Jesus is talking about a believer who uses abusive speeches for his fellow believer that's strictly following Jesus' orders.
For Instance a believer may choose to remain single all his life {Matthew 19:12} or completely avoid alcoholic drinks {Matthew 5:29} or wants to live all his life completely serving as a minister {Luke 18:22} and so on.

excuses and confusion

3. Why do believers engage in sexual sins even when their bible clearly condemns such? Why so many boyfriends and girlfriends among christians? Could it be that they don't believe their bible? Or maybe they think that the bible is somehow wrong on that issue? Could it be that God is not serious?

MaxInDHouse:
Of course we must become PERFECT before we can live forever that's why Jesus must reign (lead) imperfect humans for 1,000 years to gain PERFECTION.
The thief Jesus granted a Visa only gained access into Jesus' 1,000 years tenure he must learn to become PERFECT before he can gain everlasting life!

what makes you think you will magically change in your imaginary 1000yr if you can't change now?

2. Why do believers use abusive words? The bible make it clear that using speech to bring down another human is a sin that shouldn't have a place in a christian life. Jesus clearly points out that anyone who calls another a fool have heavier judgement in a fiery torment than a murderer,yet, believers and followers of jesus have no problem using such speech freely. Could it be that they somehow think jesus isn't serious, or they do not believe him at all?

How about the cowards (fearfull) ? According to your bible at revelation their portion is in the lake of fire. Also, your jesus said "you must be perfect like your father in heaven". Going by these, your exuses of imperfection and fear doesn't count. MaxInDHouse

They lie because they know they can ask for forgiveness and reset their sins.

interesting

adeoyekay:
Not all believers lie

probably you don't lie, or are you talking on behalf of them all. For all i know, anyone who totally stop lying can never remain a christian!

Sucre6 @ i'm sure nobody would have helped him repay the loan if he didn't drink the poison. Also, after the incident some people went back to ask for the money they gave him. The lesson is: when you are alive humans do everything to make your life uncomfortable, but when you want to die they do everything to bring you back to continue your miserable life. We are humans, we love to suffer.

Another toxic family has taken the life of an innocent young woman.

Guys if you're from a toxic family, find a way to leave that house and cut ties with them.

Well spoken

1. Why do believers lie? The bible makes it clear that jesus is against all forms of lies and will have ALL liars tormented in eternal fire. If christians really believe what the bible says, why do they find it very easy to lie knowing fully well the depth of such sin and its penalty? Could it be that they somehow believe that the bible itself isn't correct on that point?

Do you believe the bible? There are questions i want to ask believers. Please let any christian who is ready to answer sincerely indicate himself as i post the questions

owiko:
I don't judge suicide victims, that's not to say I'm an advocate of same. Not everyone's heart is big enough to accommodate too many burdens. May God forgive her shortcomings, and find pleasure in her soul.

But why exactly does she need forgiveness?

Elizkid:
23

suicide isn't something that happens over night. She surely had gone through something for many years that others do not understand. Nobody cares until you are gone. There's nothing bad about it anyway, it's what it is. She's gone and the world continues.

How old is\was she?

Your behavior tells everybody where you are spiritually.

But everybody isn't interested in your spirituality. most of the people care about how much money you have. Even a wealthy person with a very ill behaviour have more respect in the society. That's just my observation, maybe it's different somewhere else

thorpido:
Okay.I wish you the best.
I had a colleague like you.Started out seeking knowledge like you and delved into many things.
You spoke about 'trying to be in two places at the same time'.These were the kinds of knowledge he also sought.He's late now.

Death isn't the worst thing that can happen to a man. When you fear death, you also fear truth. How do you know if "death" isn't an advantage to him?

Marriage nawao. Make una dey like me una no hear. After using your hard earned money to buy the girl from her parent now she don go back. Take heart!

Monzze:
Does death bring total freedom?
I don't think so. Like Religious people always maintain there's something bigger than life after death

life is continous and have no end. Religion (christianity being the worst) is a hindrance to freedom.
