I am talking about the Almighty God. He is only one, the creator of the heavens and the earth.

Do you believe that Jesus Christ is Lord?

Oduduwaboy:
Hmm. I saw the thread yesterday and i fell in love with the beautiful mind of the OP. Is ROSSIKE still on Nairaland? Is he a schorlar somewhere? etc

I actually agree with EVERYTHING he said. But only because I've dabbled with visionary plants.

The receiver in our heads is capable of picking up different signals when it's connection to this reality is severed.

dhatboy:
please help me to talk more sense into the op's head

How can one God send two contradictory messages to a single human population?

@Weah96,
You are hopping all over. Let's start with your first statement.

Mountains don't respond to verbal commands, contrary to what the bible says.

The bible is in conflict with REALITY.

vooks:
Brandishing 'healing verses' and having faith in God is no magic recipe for healing. God is sovereign and He heals when,where and whomever He wills, not whatever you command Him to. He is not a genie

Jesus said in the bible somewhere that a small amount of faith is capable of moving mountains. Into the ocean!!

What are you here talking about? What is the point of having faith if the God is going to do what he wants anyway?

Let's extrapolate your suggestion even further. Who's responsible for the Ebola itself, since the God is the most sovereign authority in the universe?

ofsegs:
To those who chose to believe that there is no God. If in the end it turns out that there is no God, do you have any edge over those who chose to believe in God
What if in the end it turns out that God actually exists and you have refused to believe or obey him, what do you think will happen?

*just ponder on these things*

Which God are you talking about? There are different Gods like Shiva, Allah, and Jesus just to name a few.
These Gods are all mutually exclusive.

If you believe in Jesus as Lord then you don't believe in Shiva. Or Allah. There is no special room in the Muslim hell for the Jesus people.

Joshthefirst:
The mystery of death can only be understood by grasping the foundation of Life.

Once a man denies the source of his life, he lapses into confusion on the subject of his death.

Great, we're getting somewhere. What is this source of life that you speak of?

Empiree:
Nice try pal. "Islam is religion of Peace". The phrase is just literal meaning. The word 'Islam' derived from Salam (peace). Islam however is a religion. Definition of Islam is total submission to the will of Allah(God). To submit is to obey. To obey is to be Muslim. Therefore, after Adam (as) was sent down to earth, Allah instructed him to obey (i:e submit) Him ->God. That is called Islam. The way Adam practiced 'Islam' might be different. I am sure Adam(as) did not pray 5 daily prayer but he offered prayer devoted to God Alone. Praying to God Alone is called tawheed ->pure religion->Hanifa-->monotheism->submission->Islam. Key point here is monotheism which was ordained on all prophets and messangers of Allah

In the time of Abraham, it was called 'Hanifa' (i:e monotheism). Allah says in the Quran (translation of the meaning):
مَا كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَهُودِيّاً وَلاَ نَصْرَانِيّاً وَلَكِن كَانَ حَنِيفاً مُّسْلِماً وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
3.67. Abraham was not a Jew, nor a Christian; but he was one pure of faith and Muslim (who submitted to God with a sound heart). He was never of those who associate partners with God..

Pay close attention to highlighted Arabic bold 'Hanifan Muslim' i:e pure religion, someone who submitted himself (to God) as muslim. Islam

Say I wanted to convert to the beautiful Islamic faith, how can I make sure that it's not really just an international gang in disguise?

How can you show me that Allah is a real person?

I know you won't expect me to simply believe your words. That's how people end up as Christians.

malvisguy212:
i no longer dwell in the adamic nature, christ dwell in me the hope of glory, my name is moses i can now be called moses christ.

Maybe your name is Moses in real life. Hahaha. Or you're smoking on some good good.

I'm Yeshua Barnabas myself. It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Christ.

Joagbaje:
The Nigerian law says nit to kill also but the law sentences one to death. If you want a honest answer. It's simple. There's difference between murder and execution. One is a crime the other is justice.

I don't mean to get off track, but of what use is Nigerian law if you know that God exists?

Maybe you're not sure, because to know that God is a real person, and yet submit yourself to laws that could potentially disagree with biblical teachings is treachery.

That's why Muslims have sharia law and Muslim countries often impose it. They really believe that Allah is real, so his laws are their laws. Makes sense to me.

Of course, they have shown no more evidence for Allah than Christians have for Jesus, but I'm just saying.

onetrack:
If God didn't like death then why would he make humans in such a way that they are guaranteed to die?

Maybe he didn't make anything. If he had, then I believe that he would have told you and me without sending verbal messages through illiterate human beings.

God doesn't speak. He speaks only through human oracles, who then use their own voices to relay the message. They don't even have the decency to trick you with a ventriloquist device or something.

OLAADEGBU:
The theory of evolution has not answered any foundational question of origins

So what you want is an answer, regardless of how stupid the answer is?

You bring nothing but a book of myths to the discussion, my brother. You belong at the children's table.

candidbabe: May God almighty see you through in this trying times my prophet.

As to the people who are speaking against prophet TBJ on this forum you better be careful of what you say, to be fore warned is to be for armed.

I also pray that God will get back at all the enemies of TBJ in Jesus name amen.

So GOD should independently punish people for speaking out against this billy goat?

The version of God you keep in your head is an unusual one.

This d)ope peddler deserves what he has coming. I'd stay away from him if I were you.

striktlymi: The ten commandments, from which your question was derived is intended to guide the conduct of men not God. God is our creator and reserves the right to do whatever He wills with His creatures.

The law against killing is only restricted to murder. Not every killing done by soldiers is murder.

You're treading in dangerous waters here Sir, Boko Haram territory.

God is invisible. He only speaks through OTHER HUMAN beings.

If God is above the law, and orders a man to slaughter a family, that man should be granted an automatic immunity from prosecution.

Do you want to go down that road?

alexleo: Yea to an extent. But on the other hand we are responsible for our action, choice and its consequences.

With responsibility comes choice. No choice is being offered me to believe. This creator must have known before I was created that my brain wouldn't tolerate the fairy tales.

Can a smartphone be responsible for receiving an incoming text? Would you punish a DVD player for playing a DVD?

mecussey: Inspirition...the truth is, what men know, they destroy, what we don't know, we call names or criticise

Inspiration Hahaha.

Inspiration is what happens when a 10 yr boy plays 25 games of chess simultaneously against FIDE rated players without looking at any of the boards.

In your case, YOUR authors are making the claim of being inspired when it should me ME.

You just can't write a book and say "alright, I'm inspired, God doesn't want anyone consuming cattle today. The curfew ends at 6am."

That's nonsense. These were drug addicts, not unlike modern shamans and herbalists.

haffaze777 post=/post/26776173:
the creator off universe,d creator of everything both living and non living

And this creator sends his messages through human beings other than the one to whom the message is addressed? GTFOH.

Why would you create everything and then speak only through one person? Does that make sense to you? What's all this hiding business about?

I have a bridge in Manhattan for sale, my brother. I only require a small initial down payment of $1200.

hifaif post=/post/26829134:
I am so sorry to say that you have abandoned your earlier stand. Wasn't it you who said God has planned everything right from the beginning? How can man exercise free will in a predestined world?

I will accept that Adam exercised free will if only you accept that God did not know that Adam was going to eat the fruit.

Of course, if you make choices, there are consequences. But when the choices you make are already known before you were even born, then it is not free will. You are only acting out what was already expected of you. Free will involves multiple choices independent of coercion.

Tell am o.

mecussey post=/post/26778327:
Unfortunately, there is no way to understand God with human brains.

So where did the bible come from? Did human beings not write it?

annyplenty: God himself warned us about this time himself

Who did this God give this warning to? Nobody said anything to me.

Ukutsgp: u should have nt be obsessed with what u say dnt exist. it is hypocritical.

I'm not obsessed with the imaginary God. As you may know, it doesn't exist. That's the whole point of having faith in the first place. If the God was real, no faith would be necessary.

Assume you went to a village where the residents smear faeces over their bodies to cure the common cold and you tried showing them the folly of their ways. Would it be nice to describe you as being obsessed with s)hit?

Ukutsgp: i know what i'm talking about. there is one i know who always says he dnt believe in God yet he will be the one to shout Jesus if one ant is passing. they smell fake. their atheism is only in the mouth.

Shouting the phrase "Jesus Christ" has become a cultural meme. It has nothing to do with religion.

For example, I always notice myself using his name when I'm fornicating.

saintvc: is it a sin to practice family planning?

0 1 2 3 4 5 ::::::


are all numbers . i can pick 0. not a sin. if it were a sin, then God must be a sinner for making some women barren

40% of all marital infertility is due to the sterility of the male. Some of the guns don't shoot correctly, either due to erroneous calibration by the manufacturer or poor maintenance.

This God also made a lot of dudes sterile.

annyplenty: A so called 'pastor' that once made his congregation ate grass has made them drank petrol this time

JESUS is coming.
Cover yourself with bloodof Jesus Christ and wear full garment of God to survive the unclean spirits of this time.

www.jesuscoming1..com

Everything is working according to his divine plan. Even the "unclean spirits" themselves are only doing what they were programmed to do by the creator.

Your alarmism is unnecessary.

davidylan: Its simple mob mentality that i have come to expect. We've gone over 3 pages and not once has anybody even bothered to say... here is a scientific peer-reviewed article providing irrefutable proof for evolution. All i read is the same yawn-inducing faux outrage that anyone dared question the hallowed myth called evolution. It surely cant be that hard to shut me down with the information no?

There's no such thing as irrefutable proof in science. Mathematics and logic maybe, but not science. I find it funny how you bring a novel to the table while expecting others to provide irrefutable proof of something. When did proof ever become a concern of yours?

frank317: For a PHD holder, you are asking a very silly question. How can an atheist achieve anaything with the likes of you heading evry department in the country? Religion has messed up ur mind man. Do you think you can achieve any scientific feat with your sort of thinking?

LOL. To call them close minded is an understatement.

BossTtdiamonds: I do not agree with your statement.. Most Atheist are actually satisfied with the idea of "I have no idea why I don't believe in God"

Show me one atheist who said that.

alexleo: That means you are wrong in your claim that God is forcing you to serve him. As long as you are not serving him, you and your fellow atheists remain part of the many proof across the globe that God does not force us to serve him.

I don't serve him because "he" is a fictional character from a book, not because he is NOT forcing me to do so. In the highly unlikely circumstance that he isn't a fictional character from a storybook, I would immediately bow down and worship him, not out of love and friendship, but out of sheer fear.

I would have bowed to Genghis Khan too, or Mao, or even Idi Amin. When given a simple choice between life and death, most people choose to keep on living.

How come he didn't foresee the imminent deaths of his loyalists? Arsenal FC must have been playing that weekend. God usually sends him the scores of the matches before they're played. Hahaha.

BobNeli: And u really sure u understand the things of the spirit? When Jesus met with the man with leigion, can u remember what transpired between them? Did Jesus ask him, "who are u"? What did the man with leigion answer? Have u by any means asked urself, why do those spirits tend to occupy peoples body instead of existing on their own? To help u a lil bit my brother. They do so because they dnt have there own bodies. Therefore, make use of the bodies of their victims in perpetrating their evils. The people they posses, provide them with mouth to speak. They provide them with all the diferent parts of the body to carry out their functions. Hence dear, if U hear a demon possesd person, confessing. It is not him that speaks but the spirit using him.

I expected you to be old enough to see through this demon business.

Proffdada: atheism: a sanctuary for the homosexuals, immorally inclined and faithless. that'll be a bestseller

Nobody has any measure of faith, my brother, otherwise mountains and other fixed structures will undergo constant relocation.

Write a book called "Where is your faith" instead. Where is this faith I keep hearing about?
