obadiah777: SATAN WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH GOD. SATAN IS NOT THE ENEMY YOU THINK HE IS. HE IS THE ENEMY IF THE LORD ALLOWS HIM TO JACK YOU UP. HOWEVER HE NEEDS PERMISSION FROM THE LORD BEFORE HE CAN DO HIS DAMAGE. HE IS THE LORDS POLICE-MAN ON EARTH. AN EVIL ANGEL THAT DELIVERS JUSTICE ON BEHALF OF THE LORD. HE DOES NOT ACT ON HIS OWN. THATS AN OLD MYTH. IF YOU WANT VERSES TO WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY EM.
JOB 1 VS 12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
It's not everybody Satan needs to take permission from God for. Study your bible harder my dear

Oh really? Ghandi, mandela, red indians, etc were beaten with horse whips, were given crowns of throngs, and crucified So they died on the cross?
Besides, Mandela went through what he went through for South Africans, Ghandi did his for Indians, but our lord Jesus did his for the whole wide world. Can't you just see that the difference is clear??!!!
na wa o!
are you high?lets assume this jesus actually existed(though there is no proof he ever did),did he ever set foot outside syria?did his mythical cabinet have representatives of other countries or continents?

bolaino: It's a question that should be answered with utmost sincerity, with all honesty and with no religious bias (but I doubt my christian folks will be able to do that).

But let's examine the death of jesus, christians from time immemorial have given us the illusion that it was the greatest and noblest thing any man or God could have done for his people, by paying the ultimate price, ( giving up his life),

But I chose to disagree, in the case of jesus, he is said to be God, and he created all things, having this knowledge how would coming to earth and dying and going back to splendor a big deal? I know of people who have gone through a lot worse for no reward at all, not to talk about jesus, who is supposed to be the beginning and the end, this should have been like a walk in the park for him.

But it was'nt, even knowing fully well that he was going to rise up again and be praised in heaven and on earth for all eternity, he was still scared, begging himself in heaven not to allow the whole thing happen.

Personally I would go through all jesus went through just to be given one billion dollars, I know of people who would go through same tin or even worse for less, did jesus suffer more than the slaves in america? Or did he suffer more than the people who were tortured and beaten to death, in places like cambodia, uganda, rwanda etc, the answer is No, so christians should stop saying how difficult it was for jesus to lay his life down for sinners.

With the above-bolded comment you made you've made it clear you are coming to this discussion with a biased mind. I doubt even the best explanation for the topic at hand would be able to convince you.

To the second bolded comment, the answer to what you ask is not very complicated. I'll simply jog your memory to give you a hint of the answer. Were you among those that cringed at the evil perpetuated on the ALUU4 last year? Imagine you had been privy to the fact that one or all of the boys would be going to a beautiful place to inherit mansions, etc, would you still say the suffering they endured before they were killed was a 'walk in the park'? Just quietly think about that.

LMAO!
Please kindly explain how was not of a man's spermatozua.
So a man's sperm is genetically sinful, but a woman's egg is without sin?
I am dying of laughter.
How did the holy spirit convert to fetus in mary's womb? Why did it need to stay there for a whole nine months?
Why would god bother to go through that cumbersome process in the first place?

This is surely a record setter as being the most convoluted logic ever posted on NL.

in Science the life of a Man comes from the spermatozua. Without the spermatozua, the baby is lifeless. So Jesus was born without spermatozua but by the Holyghost overshadowing a virgin and virginity in the old testament dipicts Holyness. The Life Jesus had was not a life from Man (but from the Holyghost) and he was born of a virgin (HOLY WOMAN). So, He was born Holy. Nobody was ever born that way not even John the baptist. Think about it! Any more questns?

Are you an atheist(One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods) or a real christian? which i doubt if are one.With this your submission and conclusion it shows clearly that you are a goddamn anti Christ, a pagan that never see anything good in what Our Lord Jesus Christ did. You urgently need a deliverance if not hell fire is sure for you.

Bros, God is not a human that I question his words nor his authority. He gave us the ability to think, discern between good and bad, even before he created the heavens, the angels who worshiped him. God Created Mankind, also created the fallen angel Lucifer, did God know perhaps that he will sin? Maybe, maybe not. Bottom line is that God gave him the opportunity to do right, God cannot change your ways BECAUSE he has given you the will power to do so, that's why we pray God not to give us unto a reprobate mind but to walk in his way, as his chooses.

No matter how we choose to justify it, God is GOD.

God is not a human that you question his words or authority. Yet you disrespect the Devil, question his words (not like he has said anything sef before), authority and power at will and with impiutnity.. And lest I forget, THE DEVIL IS ALSO NOT HUMAN!!

If you say God did not know that Lucifer would sin, then you have just said the God isnt really Omniscient.

Giving someone a choice, automatically negates the omniscience of God.

Its not a maatter of justifying, its just common sense..

DEUT 32 VS 39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand

Almost legit bro, but i thought Lucifer means "Son of the Morning"??

Still doesn't address the itsy-bitsy part about God's omniscience... If you knew shittt was gon get fuckedddd up by a nigga, why create him?

If you knew destroying Sodom and Gomorrah wasn't gonna solve the gay scourge, why destroy it?

If you knew destroying the WHOLE EARTH during Noahs time with water wasn't gonna rid the world of sin, why do it?

Does God know what He is doing or he just does trial and error and depends on contingency plans? undecided Man, the bible doesn't sell itself convincingly to people who are willing to go beyond just accepting things blindly without testing. "FAITH" IS NOT ENOUGH!

Reread my post again,

How do u mean "disrespect the devil"? Wetin cosign me an devil wey I go take respect am? Bible said he's the accuser of brethren. I think you got it twisted, no one questions the devil, the only person who has authority to question devil is GOD, even Jesus rebuked him...

Bros, I said maybe or maybe not, God's intentions where not known in the Bible but I did think God knew, it doesn't mean God created evil. God Gave him power and will power but greed and jealousy set in.

You're questioning God abi? No giving someone a CHOICE means they have to WORK for it to enter into the Kingdom of God. If God where to make all things perfect, we'll be like remote controlled robots na

I don't know what common or sense to you, but this is our truth.

your biology teacher should be jailed if he/she actually taught you that a baby is lifeless without spermatozoa.my dear,without spermatozoa there can be no fertilisation so there will be no zygote and hence no baby at all.so you need to find another argument to support your point.

please get yourself a good news or NIV version of the bible and read the books of matthew to acts of the Apostles. And please read it with an open heart.
As for proof of whether he existed, when you allow him into your heart, you will get all the proof you need! It's really not something that can be explained unless it is experienced first hand.

Of course people on earth also go through great undeserving suffering and punishment on earth. But this is about our spiritual punishment and death. Everyone sins (even Christians) and the punishment for sin eternal hell. The only redemption for our sins is a pure sacrifice. (Previously, a lamb was a common sacrifice for sins due to its purity and innocence.)

Jesus was the only human who was sinless, and could, therefore, make a sinless sacrifice for all of us who are sinful. Additionally, because He was sinless He would never be punished or need to make a sacrifice. Yet He went through all of that torture in our place because of His love for us and God's grace. Hope that helps.

for those saying how is it a big deal,the greatest sacrifice one can give is their life. POW'S and victims of psychopaths did not give themselves over to torture, they did not sacrifice themselves. not to say that they're pain meant nothing because it wasn't their choice.

look friend. Jesus was not a man, He was 'God Himself' who came in form of a man(John 1:1), He carried the life spirit of God because He was born of that spirit and not a man's spermatozua; that is why He was called Emmanuel meaning God (himself) with us (in form of man). He wasnt born of any man (remember it was the the the prencense of God who over shadowed a holy virgin to bear Him), so he was not a normal being neither was he a sinner genetically because he wasnt born by a man's sperm remember, man is a sinner by nature of Adam. Jesus was not a product of Adam!! HE WAS HOLY IN NATURE AND IN DEED. HE NEVER SINNED AND WAS'NT BORN A SINNER LIKE ALL MEN!! The reason why the sacrifice is esteemed is because of.

1)God's love for man for Jesus to die in the place of sinfull sinners when He himself never sinned. (1Corinth 5:21)

2)He himself was the creator of men. Bible says "...and without Him was not anything made that was made"-JOHN 1:3. He was the one who could die to bear the sins of all men because he made them and remember He could have chosen not to die and kill all men, creating a new set of Men. He chose not "for God SO LOVED the world" this world.


3) A man who hated sin was made to carry it in bulk upon himself, that was why He was praying to God. He wasnt afraid of the death but never wanted to be a sinner for once because He had to carry the sins of the whole world (alive, dead and unborn) upon himself even though He never sinned!

Oh. And one more thing, no ever called Jesus Emmanuel in the bible.
Obviously that prophesy was big dud.

I never believed the day would come in my lifetime when a Nigerian would become reprobate and deny the existence of God (even though they hide behind anonymous platforms like Nairaland). Although the poster and his band of blasphemers in the early posts are obviously wallowing in the cesspool of d devil's grand deceptions (which is a fulfilment of a Bible prophesy:

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

I will attempt some answers.
1. God created man (Adam) in His own image, not knowing good or evil; but that he lost that nature when they ate the forbidden fruit. Remember it was after that they realise they were naked (which is d knowledge of good and evil). Only children are comfortable walking around naked becos until they reach the sinful nature of knowing good and evil (at around 10). If they die at that innocent stage then they go to heaven even without repenting. Remember Christ said the kingdom of heaven is filled with people with the innocent spirit of children?

2. Who will reconcile man to God. Initially (d old testament), d blood of animals were used (muslims still practice this); but it cannot really cleanse ur nature. It was only a divine being, who had to be become part-human (but not corrupted with by conception thru d natural order of male-female copulation). Anyone else who died or suffered is human. Only d sacrifice of Jesus Christ was acceptable because He doesn't have our nature and is Holy before God.

3. That's why we confess our sins and ask God to forgive us THROUGH JESUS CHRIST ONLY. We also pray thru jesus Christ. Anyone else including Mary is human and doing it through them is idolatory (Catholism is one of the greatest deceptions of history). When u do it sincerely (no one can fool God), God accepts and gives u His new spirit and nature (I felt it a long time ago. It's d most beautiful thing ever!). U feel new, find it easy practice good and shun evil. U can't force it cos it's supernatural. Unfortunately, so many churchgoers equate it to just attending church or being a worker!

4. Lastly, my dear ones, KNOW THIS "If in this life only YOU HAVE HOPE (rich, beautiful, successful etc), then YOU are of all men MOST MISERABLE.

5. My last line becos I did this as a youth:

"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."

Lol, you guys never quit, as much as dying on the cross was significant, there where two other significant events that happened - physically and spiritually. Please read the Bible.

Only God knew about his journey, and that's why when Jesus Cried out, father why have u forsaken me, God knew the plan.

How could God die?

Nice question, God is not a man like you and me, God is awesome, a three in one being;

1)Father: God Himself sitting on the throne

2) Son: Jesus, the word that sent into becoming a flesh, 'John 1:14, that same Word was God himself, that word had God's spirit, holy spirit and life


3)The Hoy Spirit: God could sit on His throne and be at the same time at diffrent parts of the world doing wonders, speaking to His Sons. He is omnipresence, that presence apart from His throne is what is called the Holy Spirit, that Holy Spirit lived in Jesus, that was why He could act like God.



So why call himself Son of David? Evidently, the seed of David wasn't in him.



Just like He was called Son of Joseph too. The fact that He was called the Son of David does not mean He is a seed of David. He only appeared in the family that sprang forth from David's lions. That title was just mere formality, He (Jesus Himself) said "I AM FROM ABOVE:....; I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD (John 8:23) His life was nt from spermatozua but from God above.



So God sent himself to save his creations to pay a debt his creations owed him. I'm not surprised I have to believe this by faith. Faith makes the irrational rational.



Look, not like the creations owe Him. God is not a lier, He doesnt change His word. He already said in the old testament "the soul that sins shall die"-EZEKIEL 18:4. When He says a world, it must follo suit, that was why He had to send Jesus (God in human body) to die in that place. It was legally accepted He took their place since He made them. He became the sin for them. 2COR 5:21. Note: Jesus is God in human body



Again, God sacrificed himself to himself?




Sacrificed Himself for Himself? I did'nt say that. He just had to take their place. He had established the law "the soul that sinneth shal die", He loved them, He had to send His Jesus to die in their place. Note: It was legally acceptable to take thier place by that same law. He was the only one who could because through Him they were made (JOHN 1:3)

Sounds like all the problem of the world today is because Nazareth didn't have an asylum..




It depends on what you mean by asylum.

Whether you believe or not, it doest change the truth still. You'll only be very unsmart not to believe the truth. Its at your detriment since am not asking you to pay me offering or come to my church. THE TRUTH REMAINS "HE DIED FOR YOU ALREADY, REJECT HIM AND BE DAMNED! ACCEPT HIM AND BE SAVED John 3:18, YOU WILL THEN KNOW, HIM (He will show Himself to you, there wouldnt be need to ask these.).-




the sacrifice was a spiritual one and can be difficult for the natural mind to understand so I do not blame the @op.Know that Jesus Christ was sinnless and a blood is neccessary to take away sins based on the spiritual laws establish by God.No other blood can wash away sins( a spiritual disease) than the preciuos and stainless blood of Jesus Crist.He had to die to make that blood available for all sinners , he did no die for himself or to himself , he died to shed his blood for the remission of sins.

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS RIGHTEOUS EVIL. THIS IS RIGHTEOUS EVIL >>> GALATIANS 6 VS 7 MEANING YOU ARE GETTING EVIL DONE TO YOU FOR THE EVIL YOU DID. SOME CALL IT THE LAW OF KARMA. COLOSIANS 3 VS 25

obadiah777: WAS A BIG DEAL IN WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHED. IT RE-UNITED A FALLEN WORLD BACK TO GOD

For whose benefit?

And since then......?


Is there any evidence that Jesus left a better world than the one he met?
History tells us that the supposed coming and going of Jesus plunged the world in top the dark pits of war, genocides and intractable conflicts of every sort right to this day.
