Uyi Iredia: True, however this "Nothing" is empty, unproductive given that though it might be something, yet it has nothing. For Nothing to be creative, it must have the potential of being productive |

It was a summon,a whispher in the winds and a burning desire in the soul and a quest of the mind. Needless to say,religion has got nothing to do with it. |

Kay 17: And so my subscription of God to space. God being conscious & sufficiently intelligent and omnipotent to effect creation ex nihilo. That's where Lord Babs stops, I expect you to. |

Obi1kenobi: People with a belief in God. Theists and deists of every stripe. Obi1kenobi: Did he personally reveal this to you by himself? No. Obi1kenobi: Or did you just make that up in your mind? I did given the simple logic that an infinite regress of causes is a logical absurdity, hence in a chain of effects there must be recourse to a cause that is non-contingent or uncaused. God being that cause. |

TerryCarr: what about the other religions? hmmmph! i pity you, showing us common pictures of some people worshipping whatever poo they think they wanna worship, how does that concern us, even if they like , let them believe in their A.nus, who cares, time will tell if when OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST shall come, it will be too late to say oh had i know, even the demons knows and believe in God, read this" Mathew chapter 8 vs 28 "When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,[a] two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?” |

I don't believe in God. I rather believe in his existence. Believing in God is a rather practical and religious term. |

I believe for now because i'm not convinced otherwise yet. I don't fully understand yet how evolution and natural selection alone (without the interference of an intelligent being or beings) can give rise to the complexities we see around today. |

Chibuebem: the very man who first used those words is Jesus Christ. Take your argument to him. Stop being confused. Read about what he said. He said you can't enter Gods kingdom without being born again. Jesus doesn't wanna see me cos this time i will sell him for good! |

Chikeziehosan: Atheists like William Wilberforce free the slaves not christianity. The Pope owned slaves too. The bible is the worst thing that could happen to man. The book is filled with Extraterrestrial encounter with humans,then has turned to a problem. None of your Ancestors were slaves? You must be deluded! Those who were enslaved weren't relative of yours? £30,000,000,000 for Jesus's ransom if i can lay my hands on him this time around |

lorretta u: Eye opening posts. Nah. Measure for measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over is what I'm given that deluded freak who thinks his folly smart. Atheists are to be expected but in truth, not all derail a thread. Logicboy, huxley and nferyn are no longer with us, not sure about the first though. Now a question: what arguments made you border on atheism ? |

@Uyi Iredia; Uyi Iredia(m): 8:58pm On Sep 13Almost all the 'pagan' Gods are something physical, now or sometimes in the past. The hindus for example on the 'pagan Gods' issue, represent each of their specific Gods with something they can see. Ask mr. pagan9ja. his own God or Gods exist[s] in the physical. unfortunately, these pagan Gods are themselves made by the pagans. Sango of the yorubas died by hanging. Is that the way of God and does God have a need to die? based on these and many other reasons, the pagan Gods cant be true God. But there is Only One True God. this One God is claimed by the Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. The differences are many, including the laws, rules and how this God Lords over. What is crucial based on your question is the Actual Name of this One God. In the case of the jews, they say that this God made Himself to man, only in their generation, forgetting that Adam [as] is not a jew, yet he knew God and the Personal Name of God. God is known by His Personal Name by other creatures, angels, jinns, long before man. And man existed long before man gave birth to the jews, a more recent tribe among children of man, Adam [as]. if i stop here with the jews, you must agree with me that the foundation being a lie, what strength does the wall have against truth? But the jews can't even say the Name of God, whether because the forgot, think themselves inferior, made to forget it, one of these or all of them. The point is I Am is not a Proper Name, just like man is not a proper name of any human, male or female. i am going to address the case of the christians while i ignore the trinity because it is irrelevant here. What is the Name of God on the lips of Jesus? it is not Yahweh or Jehovah. It is a word closer and identical in sound to the Arab Allah. You will say Eloi, Eloim, Ellah. Dr. Scoffield in his Bible says Ellah. Some arabs write Ebrahim, Ibrahim, to mean the same word, a name of the "father of faith" [as]. the E or I at the beginning does not change the understanding of the readers and the sound of both in the ears of the hearers is identifying the man they read his story well enough in their religious books, be they jews, christians or muslims. when the christians are saying Jehovah and Jesus is saying Ellah, the christians have to be wrong because the bible is a witness against them because what they say is different from what Jesus is saying. The case of the muslims is clear. In the Quran which is the word of God, not word of Muhammad [sa] because he would have claimed so in order to win 'souls'. But since he is given strict instruction to repeat only, God says "I Am, Allah and there is no God beside Me". we can read this in surah taha and many other places in the Quran. |

@Judas2013; by Judas2013: 4:02amit is impossible that i am my own Creator. the reason is that i had parents that did what the bees and the birds do. they mated to produce me. if i am produced, i cant be my own Creator. Creator of man does not depend on any, does not have parents, not produced, ase.xually, or other forms, including sex.ually, self replicating, etc, etc. I will not need some external essence to impact 'knowledge' on me. |
Re: Why Do You Believe In God? by khattab02: 11:38am On Sep 14, 2013 |
At op. I believe in God becoz He is the Supreme being of all that is between the heavens and the earth and He has made His ayats(signs, evidences, proofs) of his Existence known to us if we look around us. All what we see around us sun, stars, moon, moutains, trees etc did not just come in to exixtence ,He created them. What about ourselves? Did we evolve from Ape or just fall by ourselves? No, it is He who has created us and bestowed so many countless favours on us. The main purpose of our creation is given in Qur'an 51: 56 '' And I have not created the jinns and mankind except that they should worship me alone''. We praise and Glorify Almighty God because He alone deserves the right to be worshipped. |

Re: Why Do You Believe In God? by khattab02: 12:11pm On Sep 14, 2013 |
Jazakallahu khairan RoyPCain well said. In addition to the Name Allah, We muslims have no objection to any Name u called Almighty God but the Name should not contain any mental picture, Image or names of other gods worshipped by some other people. Why do we love quoting Almighty God as Allah rather than the english Name God? Because a person can play mischief with the English name 'God ' if u add father to God it becomes 'Godfather', there is no such thing as nauzubillah 'Allahfather' or 'Allahmother'. If u add 'ddess' it becomes 'goddess' which means female god ,there is no such thing as 'Allah male' or 'Allah female' He is neither male nor female. Similarly if u add Tin to God it becomes TinGod, there is no such thing as 'Allahtin' or tin 'Allah'. So the Name Allah remains in its in Pure form and free from all mischiefs. Thank you. |
