Kindly go back and read that nonsense you wrote.. "contradictions galore"....you and that your god need proper medication..

@torchwave, if there is a just God who by his nature to do not have a choice than to send people who disobey him to enternal torture, We despise it. Because some of us by nature believe that no human should be subjected to horrible torture in fire forever as punishment for something done in a space of years. 120yrs sin - tortured forever, imagine one of your loved ones finds his/herself there burning in fire for enternity. We advice that God to change that monster nature and seek serious counselling.

In essence, you're in rebellion against God since you cannot accept His nature of severity.

One more thing, my advice to you is to change your ways because God has always been, is, and will forever be changelessly unchangeable. That, especially, is why He is God.

The sooner you get that the better for you all.

You all might say whatever you wish against God in your lifetime, but nothing will stop you from meeting Him personally. Gosh...I hope, for your sake, you're prepared for that inevitable face-to-face encounter widely known as JUDGMENT DAY.

This generation is truly hopeless. You can't even compose your gibberish properly.

And that's the best you can come up with in terms of correction? Are you any better even with all your masterful decoration of the english language?


@topic

The Spirit of God is real to me as real can be. He is part of my everyday life. I acknowledge His Presence so that I know I'm not alone. He is as real as you want Him to be.

Elijah78:

Noted and with apologies. Thanks

Your understanding and attitude are worthy of emulation. I should be the one thanking you for even very much more things.

Tell me, how's your journey to see the Face of God?

alienvirus: You didn't actually. Let me ask you again perhaps you skipped the question. Why can't you go around the continent to heal ebola patients. Did Jesus need help on the cross or not.

gosh....I don't make it a habit of giving answers to pointless questions. can't help you.

Kay17:

If the tragedies and evils of this world equally consume the followers of Christianity, then what protection does the death of Jesus offer?! Nothing! Jesus promised according to the scribblings in thee.bible that with Faith the mustard seed shall grow to the sturdy tree, that mountains shall move. That was jesus' promise. Now if we pagans, atheists see that Christians are as much as vulnerable as we are, don't you think Christianity has failed?!

That is where you err because you never read the Bible yet you criticise it endlessly.

Jesus died to give us eternal life, life with God. He did not die to grant us long life on earth even though He grants it to many.

In fact, He said those who lose their lives for His sake will find it.

Kay17:

An exercise as futile as Jesus on a Roman cross. Her story is a failed testimony of the "power" of the Christian God. There was nothing glorius, but plain ignorance. God is dead and Science killed him.

That is what you tell yourself so that you can explain away the existence of God. Deny it or not, believe it or not, you will stand before God, inevitably.

alienvirus: Blah blah blah. Answer the darn questions. I am tired of rhetoric.

I believe I have already done that.

alienvirus: No Bros, leave story. Why did Jesus refuse to cure her?

I tell you, the ways of God are mysterious. He permitted her death for reasons best known to Him.

God is able to keep all His children from harm even without the need of their praying to Him like He kept the Israelites from the all the plagues He brought on the Egyptians through Moses, but He permits the death of some of His saints through various means for reasons best known to Him.

Know this, if the number of her days was not up in God's calendar, then the evd that took her life would have been unable to touch her.

Precious in the sight of God is the death of His saints. This means He already has a better plan for His children whose lives are cut short by evil in addition to the fact that He permitted their deaths so that they can come home to be with Him according to His good pleasure and what a glorious homecoming whether it be death by decapitation, burning on the stake, wild animals, cancer, hunger, disease, war, natural disasters, fatal accident, natural death etc etc....

It doesn't matter the means by which death takes a true child of God. He or she has been given the great grace to come and be with the Father forever and ever.

Note, like other evils that plague the world, God has permitted evd to take the lives of the just and the unjust as He makes His rain to fall on both and His sun to shine on both.

Busybody2:


Pls get in touch as soon as you can, at the busy...........@yahoo.co.uk email addy. Thanks God bless you Sirree.

Lol. I don't think I can recall it. How about you send a message to softandcrystal@gmail.com and I shall get in touch with you ASAP?

RockMaxi:


Definitely you will encounter God soonest and your name will be listed.

hahahaha. This really got me laughing...and I see that possibility, too.

Who knows?

Elijah78: @torchwave thanks for encouraging. Last night i couldn't meet my appointment with God do to the intense cold here and this morning i felt very remorseful. However i am encourage as you rightly said that ""I'm afraid any of the challenges I listed above will easily discourage you and you will quickly make the choice to quit and return to your ordinary and less fruitful way of life. A very big loss.''

I am very determine to persevere in my pursuit of God till i find Him.

I love your determination. It already makes you a candidate for God's voice. All we need is time to make it a reality. Richard Foster who wrote Celebration of Discipline said and I quote, "The overall preparation for a successful meditation is a personal conviction of its importance, and a staunch determination to persevere in its practice."

In addition, whenever you're unable to keep your appointment with God because of some humanly impossible phenomenon like environmental or bodily limitation like the cold you mentioned, and it is just not practicable even if you tried, then I suggest you rest for that day so as to continue the next day. No harm done.

It is perfectly normal to feel remorseful which is a proof of how much you desire not to miss your daily appointment with God, and that in itself is all that matters, your desire for God, but don't let your daily appointment with Him become a rigid affair that becomes unforgivable when you unintentionally miss it.

That is why our fellowship with God should not start and end in our quiet time with Him. We should let it spill into the rest of our day by being in tune for His voice as we learn to practice His Presence. It is equally important as our daily appointment with Him.

This takes much practice. From experience, it is quite difficult but like any other thing, practice makes perfect.

Stay blessed, bro.
