alexleo: The ISIS thing you are presenting is a different thing pls.

When you are asked to study and pass your exam or don't study and fail, is it force?


If it is force why are you and the billions of others not in the way to eternal life yet?

If a student is given a choice between passing his exams and getting beheaded, then that student is being forced to study. That is the proper analogy, not simply passing and failing. Nobody walks away from Jesus, according to the bible. One must either agree to be his friend, or suffer eternal damnation. There is no third party making up the rules. That is his rule.

I haven't joined your ranks because there is no evidence of your God and I believe that the authors of the bible were intoxicated on psychedelic drugs. Otherwise, I would be a Christian or a Muslim by force, as would every other atheist.

OLAADEGBU: Watch the discovery of the empty tomb where Jesus Christ our Lord laid before He rose again on the third day.

If you believe that nonsense, then I have a bridge in New York for sale.

BossTtdiamonds: While atheism is a belief system that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and
then nothing magically exploded for no reason creating everything and then a bunch
of everything rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self- replicating bits which then turned into our universe...

Many atheists are quite satisfied with "I don't know." Atheists don't have to subscribe to the big bang model of abiogenesis.

alexleo: Jesus did not come to force you to believe in him hence the term "whosoever". Its your choice that determines.

Presenting a choice between death and allegiance is not called FORCE again? LOL.

ISIS is beheading non Muslims after offering them the CHOICE to convert. Are they not forcing people to choose Islam?

poik: Mind you op, all these religions will believe Christ, some way or another. Everyone will be a believer. But my prayer is that it will be a peaceful belief, and not from suffering in the great beyond.

This belief must be a big issue with Jesus. Why would you roast someone while claiming to seek his friendship? Friendship or death. Hahaha.

Raymondenyi: guy; U made me laff so so hard!!!

Me too.

annyplenty: If you observe the level of sin people are committing all over the world, you will agree that some unclean spirits are moving men/women to a new level in iniquity. Strange and weird behaviours are coming up on daily basis.

Dont be caught unawares. There are a lot of evil spirits all around. Only the blood of Jesus can provide a full cover.

AS it was in the days of Noah, so it is now. In the days of Noah, many people were also possessed with unclean spirits so much that God said He would not allow His Spirit to contend with man any more.

Strange things are bound to happen as the population of humans increases. Unprotected sex is the problem, not witchcraft. Pull out or use contraceptives.

Faith can move mountains, yet one glance at pixels on a flat surface is all that a demon needs to enter a person. OK.

Is he the product of a virgin birth too? GTFOH.

aaronson: I believe you a Christian,Is God fair if you made heaven and a muslim relative of you don't?

If God was available for everyone to see, then yes. An omniscient and omnipotent boss is always fair. He would, by definition, be the one who designed the mind of my condemned Muslim relative.

But God is in hiding, so I'll say no. It's not fair.

bullyman36: You guys want is story to be like that of Ronaldinho shey... If the guy starts playing rubbish, na una go talk... he knew the right time for him to retire, and he did just that

LOL. What are you saying? Ronaldinho still scores amazing goals. If you were the manager of Burnley FC, wouldn't you beg that old man to come and play for you?

aaronson: Just thinking out loud,if hell is real half the population of the world would be thrown in there,Reason why? Hypothetically the world population is 7billion with lot of religions and belief system ranging from race and culture worldwide,Christian as a religion is the most popular religion here on earth and accounts for nothing more than 3billion So its only logical to say the remaining 4billion people would go to hell and God wouldn't be merciful on them eventhough the bible rampantly emphasized MERCY.So how REAL is HELL if we not in HELL already?

More than half of the world's population would be eligible for hell. The teachings of the bible suggest that only a few Christians are going to escape the flames.

But what do our Muslim brothers have to say about this? Surely Allah is not going to reward people who eat pork and drink strong wine.

sonOfLucifer: You are a fool.

Lol.

TD Jakes is my favorite preacher. He could sell water to a river if he wanted to.
He's come a long way from digging ditches and trenches.

aanumama: He's a criminal , and that has been established. However to hell with the court, release wetin, I've never been a fan of the guy but they can wait for him to come to US, they have more criminals,George bush should be handed over and prosecuted for all the war crimes he committed in Iraq, maybe we'd be willing to hand over that our thug too.

So you expect US courts to bring charges against their former president for what? Executing the constitutional duties of his office?
According to US law, he didn't do anything wrong.

lertee: Anyways,beauty is not the only criterion to winning a beauty pageant..

It is required for entry into the pageant, not for winning it.

dejt4u: Fine girl..op, lemme knw wen d girl clock 17..

The man is probably keeping a shotgun just for you. Don't you see how pretty his lil girl is?

He's only a cheap magician who couldn't survive in the world of real magic. That's why he picked religion.

David Copperfield would make an excellent faith healer. Try to convince the live witnesses that he didn't make the statue of liberty disappear in 1983. I'm pretty sure that he would have no problems restoring the sight of a blind man in front of thousands of witnesses.

honeychild: MATHEW 7:21,22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
- Jesus

One minute the name of Jesus is causing demons to tremble and bow, the next minute those same demons are shouting the name and healing people. Hahaha.

DONMAYOR19: He speaks in a manner that casts doubt over his sanity.

Sanity is not a required for membership in the body of Christ.

1st Corinthians 3:19

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."

Fools and mad people are the candidates of choice.

Peterken05: everybody is an atheist, we just go one god further

LOL. Even the believers act like atheists. No one relies solely on faith as instructed by the holy books.

dorox: Because she is way past her prime, she had this spectacular win against anand in her heyday of 1999.

Magnus is only 23 and he's been beating that woman for the last decade.

My comment was made in jest though. The Polgar sisters are some brilliant ladies. I even have one of Judit's books on chess strategy.

I just find it funny that Carlsen always has her number on the chess board. But then again, he beats almost everyone he plays, male or female.

MeandSum: You should stop digging! just apologize and move on.

But regarding intellect, I've not seen any mainstream study that shows men to be smarter than women. not one.
If you look at University enrollment data in Europe and America you'll see women outperform men.

So why is it that Judit Polgar is something like 0-15 in classical chess games against reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen?

OLAADEGBU: The onus is on you to show us where they differ.

Something is wrong with you. I specifically pointed out that Jewish scriptures have no reference about a virgin giving birth. In the old testament, Isaiah 7:14, there is a prophecy about a virgin mother.

The two scriptures are not the same. Yours is a poorly translated forgery.

MightySparrow: Too numerous let me start with these:
1. The unfolding history in successive kingdoms as predicted by Daniel is still valid today.
2. The gathering of Jews back to Palestine and a nation being born is a day fulfilled Isa. 14. This happened under David Ben - Gurion on 14th May, 1945.about 2700years of prophecy.

more to be added.

Are you an African? LOL. They have your brain in the matrix, my brother.

Why keep them in the fields picking cotton and plotting s)hit when it's easier to just possess their minds?

Xcapist: Brother let's not conclude just yet. I admire you for asking. God shouldn't be angry when we try to understand his nature better, and how do we know when we aren't curious enough to ask? A stage should come when your faith should be able to handle anything.

God created pharaoh so that he can harden his heart and destroy him to display his glory. Why? Simply because he can and wants to. If we delve into Romans 9 we'll see how "unjust" God’s really is. He picks favorites "even before the foundations of the world were laid" and he created people like me and Martian so that he will eventually destroy us and put us in eternal hell forever, not because we essentially wrong him but because it gives the sadistic mess he is deep pleasure.

PRECISELY!!!! There's no other way of looking at it, unless the attributes of the God in question are wrong. If this God has a blind spot, then other possibilities present themselves. But as long as humans claim that he's omnipotent and omniscient, then this write up of yours is the only logical extrapolation available.

OLAADEGBU: How many books does the Jewish Scripture have?

From one silly question to the next. I specifically asked you about Isaiah 7:14, and all you 've managed to do was demonstrate cowardice.

The old testament and the Torah are not the same. They are key areas where they differ in translations.

plaetton: I really don't think that anyone believes in god, especially the people who claim and shout that they do, such as the op.

You're right. Muslims at least act like they believe though. I mean, if I had evidence of a God, I too would do as told.

OLAADEGBU: The torah is just the first 5 books of Moses.

Not exclusively. The word can also be used to refer to all of Jewish scriptures. I suggest that you abandon this your stalling tactic and answer the question.

You said that there is no difference between the Torah and the old testament. I disagreed. Answer the question on the table.

Wait a minute, are you saying that the magical healings are all fake?

Sick people need doctors not God. Why would God heal you only to watch you die again shortly? Lazarus was resurrected by Jesus and died again for a second time?

Death is inevitable. Better let the doctors patch you up before going.

tpia1: he was a good person before?

The Saddam Hussein of his time. On a more serious note, this Christian God is a funny one.
