Satan66:Tell me the people whom God killed. The judges of this world sentence people to death in a bid to rid the society of criminal elements. The Creator has the right to bring Judgement on those who err. He created the world and could determine what is good and fitting for it. You don't know the Bible. Satan attempted Job's life but could not kill job. Satan killed many people using demons. He rules the hearts of men through fear. He is a master at oppression. He deceived the whole world, alienating men from the truth. How can you be a defender of Satan? His demons are actively at work in your life. Repent before it is too late. |
kingxsamz:Whatever you think the Bible says does not change what the Bible really says. Everyone can interpret the Bible the way he or she likes, but what the word says still stands, no matter the interpretation given to it by the majority. Do you know the difference between knowledge and revelation? |
kingxsamz:The knowledge that something exists is still different from the knowledge of what you can do with it. |
[quote author=kingxsamz post=92249638][/quote]You can choose what you believe. You can choose your interpretations. If they couldn't disobey, then they had no freewill...but we all know that, the reverse is the case. Disobedience is wickedness in God's sight... but in the context of the Eden events, the knowledge of good and evil follows only after eating the fruit. Not before. Mind you, this not not mean they do not know about the existence or the tendency to do evil before eating the fruit. There are no contradictions, only if you allow your interpretations to get in the way. I reiterate: Before eating the fruit, they had the power of choice. That's freewill. They chose to do good only, also by their freewill. They were in a state of mind where they only thought good and had a distaste for evil. They knew evil exists but had no taste for it because they didn't entertain evil thoughts in their minds. The forbidden fruit opened them up to evil thoughts and a taste for it. It weakened their ability to do good, while empowering them to do wickedness. Now, all actions are products of thought. There are many things you could do but you wouldn't do them if you never thought of them. Not thinking about those things does not imply that you are unaware of their existence. When you become born again and begin to grow in Christ, you'll notice a gradual departure from the norm. You'll start loving to do good while hating to do evil. You'll begin to have distaste for immorality, drunkenness, smoking, partying which you enjoyed before. Though, in the fallen state, you could still find yourself doing things that you don't love doing anymore. Your body wants them but your spirit hates them. Each time you do it, you feel very bad about it, whereas before now, you boast and rejoice in them. You still have a choice to do either good or evil, but you will only do what your thoughts dwell on. The forbidden fruit inundated man with much evil thoughts and created the wicked world we now live in. |
Satan66:Your opinion or what Satan told you. Seek the truth while you still have life. Satan is a deceiver, he will only lead you to hell. |
kelltee:The link is not working. |
Satan66:I'm the Worshipper, not you. You can't tell me whether my God failed me or not, I'm the one who decides that based on my expectations of Him. Pastors die, satanists die, everyone dies, but to those who have no hope beyond here, death is a curse. To the redeemed, death is a blessing. Rehearse these words in the ears Satan, and see how fallen lucifer reacts. Seek the Creator, not the creature. The God of gods who rules the universe and who reigns forevermore. |
kingxsamz:Remove your coloured lenses friend and see it as it is. Freewill means they had a choice. They could do whatever they wanted. When I said they could only do good, I meant, they preferred only one choice - to do good. The thought of doing evil never crossed their minds, they only wanted to do good. However, after eating the fruit, they started having thoughts of doing evil as well. They disobeyed because they chose to. They had the free will to disobey or to obey. They chose to disobey. That disobedience now brought them the will to do good and evil. Whereas, before now, they were only willing to do good, and thought of doing good always. Note: The knowledge of good and evil here means, the knowledge of being nice and being wicked. |
OtemAtum:Permit me to answer you question even though it was not directed to me. Man was created with a freewill. Freewill in simple terms is ability to make a choice. So, from the beginning Adam and Eve could choose what they wanted to do. They were created with the ability live in obedience and so they initially chose to do so until Eve made a choice to reject God's commands and embrace the advice of the serpent. Obeying God was a choice within their capacity, likewise, disobeying God was also something they could do. In the long run, they fell for the wrong choice. Before eating the fruit, they could only do good and only good. After eating it, they could now do good and evil. The result was that Cain killed Abel, and today, man loves to do evil than to do good- an adverse effect of the fruit that Adam ate. |
Satan66:Many organizations have been closed down by government because of COVID 19 but the worshippers of Satan care for none of those except the church. Why,? Because the church has rendered many of their demons homeless and have set free, many of their captives. Listen, the church is not buildings. Church buildings may close but the church is still active in the world today. No one can close the church because it is a spiritual entity. We are still busy healing the sick, setting the captives free, sending demons packing and delivering the oppressed. "At the name of Jesus, every knee must bow, and every tongue must confess that Jesus is Lord." Who is Satan? A defeated foe whom Christ wasted on the cross of Calvary. Satan, whose demons shiver when the name of JESUS is mentioned. Fallen lucifer whose last home is the lake of fire is your God? Those who serve Satan will end like him. The church matches on. The real church of Christ has no walls. Satan knows this very well. He sent you out to deceive people into thinking that the church closed because the buildings were closed? The Church lives. Jesus reigns. Satan was defeated on Calvary. Jesus made an open show of principalities and powers, triumphing over them in it. The Lord God omnipotent reigns all over the universe. The end of Satan is the lake of fire. Don't follow him there. Your soul is precious. Why should you perish? Serve the Creator not the creature. Fallen Lucifer cannot save, only Jesus does. |
englishmart:It's a pity I visited this section so late. Friend, the answers to your questions are very simple. I am the son of a chronic and fanatical Muslim who became a Christian and later became an atheist. This atheist father of mine later encountered the God of the Bible in a most supernatural way. He died a Pastor and an Evangelist. He never looked for God, but God found him. Talking about the contradictions in scripture, you ought to know that the contradictions happen only in historical accounts and recorded events. These accounts were written by men, everyone wrote what he honestly knew to be true. Being men, they were sincere but imperfect. Even today, you can read different versions of an event from different news sources. Man is imperfect, but God still uses imperfect men to showcase His glory. The Bible sums it up this way: 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 King James Version. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Imperfect men put imperfect literatures together and named it the Bible. Balaam was one of the most imperfect persons in the Bible, yet, God used him. God used imperfect David. God still uses imperfect men. Man is generally imperfect, but the perfect God uses imperfect men to bring His eternal message to a dying world until that which is perfect shall come, then, the imperfect shall be done away with. However, when you look at other aspects of the Bible which are pure revelations of God about Himself, you will see rhyme and cohesion. The real message of the Bible is not about rules, history or events but rather, the love of God for man, and the salvation He has provided to secure man from eternal doom. There are many passages in the Bible that inspire awe. I myself for many years pondered the existence of God in spite of my father's experience. I considered Islam and Christianity and stayed aloof from religion until God powerfully arrested me. My strong belief in the existence of God is not based on what I was taught but rather on what I have experienced. God is so real to me today, I have an ongoing relationship with Him. Truly, the Bible did say Jesus is the only way to God. This is because sin is a spiritual filth which can only be propitiated by blood, and only the blood of Christ washes the filth eternally. Heaven is God's house and He doesn't want to accommodate any filth there. He wanted filthy men but provided the cleansing blood of Christ as the 'soap' for their washing. God did not create men filthy, men made themselves so. Many will go to hell for rejecting the 'soap', but there are many who will be saved if they walk sinlessly in obedience to their conscience- "the law of God written in their hearts", according to Romans 2. God has a right to determine who comes into His house and who doesn't. He has done mercifully in announcing the rules to all those who care to listen, all who reject His rules shall not go unpunished. God answers prayers, I am a living testimony. One of the reasons I abide in the faith today was a powerful answer to a prayer I prayed in 2000. It was for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I prayed this prayer in my room on the 7th of July, 2000. The answer was spontaneous. A glorious wave of God's presence enveloped me. I sobbed quietly while a heaven-given language flowed freely out of my lips. Just as the Bible described. I have seen diverse miracles simply because I take the word of God as a little child. Unbelievable miracles have happened through my own hands. The most recent relates to my daughter who grew a tooth in an awkward spot on her gums. I commanded the tooth to reposition itself in the name of Jesus. Two days later, it disappeared. I was a victim of heart disease. I was having incessant heart attacks, though very mild, being in its early stage. I rebuked the spirit of infirmity in the name of Jesus, the symptoms disappeared. Today, I am healed. I have prayed for a pregnant woman whose baby was bound in her womb by witches who wanted to revenge an offence committed by her husband. The woman was eight months pregnant, yet, the baby was in a sitting position according to Ultrasound. I broke the spells of witches using the name of Jesus and the baby began turning as I prayed. Ultrasound taken after the event revealed the baby was now upside down. The woman delivered safely. The testimonies are numerous, some, you won't believe except you were there. They are things only God can do. God answers the prayers of those who chose to walk with Him. The devil, witches, sorcerers, ogbonis, etc fear those people. I can't talk of many demonic possessions that have been released through the name of Jesus. Someone have answered you on why God's people suffer. I just want to add that Jesus was sincere in His words. "In this world, ye shall find tribulations..." John 16:33. It will take a lot of space to analyse the purpose of suffering and the glory that awaits those who endure...but the scripture says "Endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ..." He wasn't talking about soldiers who fight physical battles. People who cry unto God only when they are in trouble will hardly find God. God isn't a standby generator that could could be used at will. Most so called children of God are hypocrites. They call upon God with their lips but their hearts are far away. The 1933 Holocaust was God's final punishment on the Jews for Killing the prophets and all whom God had sent to them. They have said before killing Jesus, "Let His blood be upon us and upon our children." And so it was. They suffered up till that point in time. However, the Holocaust paved the way for the fulfilment of another Bible Prophecy: That the Jews will be scattered into all parts of the world after a devastating war- this happened in AD 70. That they will be gathered back to their land in the latter days - this happened in 1948. The Holocaust brought about the Balfour Declaration which made Israel a nation again in 1948. Bible Prophecy fulfilled. There are things in the scripture that can only be understood when enlightened by the Holy Spirit. Some of the so called contradictions (not all but 'some') are not contradictions but rather complementary events narrated by different people. A more careful look at those narrations will reveal this. The Deuteronomy instruction on tithing is better understood when read in the light of other verses that talk about tithing in the same book of Deuteronomy. For space, I cannot go into details right now but I pray the Holy Spirit will illuminate your heart. Finally, the existence of God is not based on logic or human reasoning, but on revelation. The head cannot find God, only the spirit who is in God's image can see God. The brains may deny God but the soul will meet Him at the end of time. Look around you. Consider His works. See the greatness of His intelligence. Observe the works of Him, who is perfect in knowledge. If God is not, how could nature be so perfect: The rain waters the soil. The earth gives plant its food. The sun helps plants in food preparation. Man eats from the plant for sustenance and is cooled by the breezes from the roaring sea. Who created the eyes and put it in the right place for sight? Do the legs have limbs and joints by accident? Why do males and female complement each other? One sex has what the other lacks and become complementary. Why do trees breathe out oxygen which men inhale, and why do men exhale the carbon dioxide which trees inhale. Who has worked so intelligently to balance the oxygen and carbon dioxide ratio in the air? The wonderous work of Him who is perfect in knowledge. Search the depth of your heart. Cry out to Him in sincerity. You will find Him. It will be most devastating when you wake up some day on the other side of time and find to your amazement the God whom you once denied on this side of the universe. |
JOpress3:Superb |
If you introduce this in Nigeria, every politician will die |
sogodihno:Have you ever witnessed a scene where an Igbo boss is beating his apprentice? You will weep for him. |
Dotherightthing:What's wrong with his spellings? The only issue is the capitalization. Why pick faults unnecessarily? He's using that capitalization style as a form of message branding. Stop making a mess of yourself. Leave the man alone. He went to school just as you did. Don't ever think you know better than everyone. It's called pride. With this attitude of yours, I'm sure you'll be very offensive to people in real life. Try to understand why people do things, rather than expecting them to do it your own way. |
Laborere Est Orare, meaning Work and Pray. 24yrs ago. My younger ones attended a different School. Theirs was: Cum Christo Progedre, meaning, with Christ, there is Progress. |
ObaKlaz:Dbanj's manager made a public statement about the matter. The statement implicated him. If he is sure of himself, he should sue his ex-manager for defamation, and character assassination. The truth is that, rape allegations are difficult cases to unravel, especially when the victim leaves a gap of many days before voicing it out. Since such incidences ocur in the absence of everybody, if the victim fails to shout and draw attention during the incidence, there's no way such allegations can ever be proven in the future. I'm a man with a name myself, I should pitch my tent with Dbanj who is also a man like me. That's the natural thing to do, but I pitch no tent with anyone. My stand is that justice prevails. |
ZenithMan24:If you will love to go into Telecom business, selling internet connection to your subscribers at a very competitive rates, printing your own internet data vouchers and distributing same through your own vendors. The profit margin makes the business highly lucrative. You don't need up to ₦50m to cover the largest states in Nigeria. Contact me if you are interested. Get my WhatsApp number on my signature. |
TemmyT002:Yes, the manager said the lady reported the matter to him back then. He added that, he called Dbanj to verify the truth. Dbanj confirmed it but told the manager that he had compensated the lady by giving her $100. If Dbanj is really sure of himself, he should drag the manager also for defamation. |
ObaKlaz:Neither you nor I were there when the incidence happened. We heard, and took sides based on our understanding of the matter. My viewpoint is founded upon the fact that the lady is a lone voice in the overall saga. She has no money to get good lawyers. She has also been intimidated by a ₦1.5b fine. The outrageousness of the fine itself speaks volumes. Sometimes, court condemns the innocence and justifies the guilty if the innocent fellow is limited in his/her ability to pursue the matter. There are many innocent victims serving prison terms, and some have been executed. There's no assurance that Dbanj's former manager will be willing enough to testify in court. We all heard what he said about the matter. That alone is enough to give this case some direction. However, if Dbanj is really sure of himself, he should drag the manager also for defamation. As for the Judge of Heaven whom you so deride. He isn't a fair Judge, He is a just Judge. He sees what we don't see. He will bring justice to light...and whether Seyitan or Dbanj, He will justify the innocent and condemn the guilty. |
Dbanj's former manager confirmed that he truly raped the lady and compensated her with $100. The lady is too intimidated and financially incapable to continue the case - the reason for her withdrawal. If Dbanj has the balls to further punish her after what he has already done, human judges may work in his favor but the Judge of heaven will not rest until justice prevails. |
saaron:Buhari loves Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen for sure. He will say one thing with his mouth, and say another with his actions. |
