Hiswordxray:My dear i do not know what you are trying so hard to assert here. You may not be moral without the concept of christ or God but that is you. I on the other is as moral as any human possibly can be and i do not believe that my morality stems from any deity or creed, i believe it stems from my humanity. That is the difference between you and i; You believe your morality stems from the supernatural or a deity and you expect reward and hope to escape punishment after you are dead But i know my morality is from my humanity and i do not believe it has anything to do with the supernatural or deity neither do i expect any reward or hope to escape punishment, i am moral because it is good. Morality is not distinctively christian either is it islamic or any religion. Morality is human, it belongs to no ism. and it does not depend for foundation upon any supernatural, upon any book or creed. Morality itself is a foundation... Be Good For Goodness Sake 1 Like |

johnydon22:What I'm saying is that morality is useless. Human had known morality for a very long time but yet we find it very difficult to follow. Good is a life form and knowledge of good doesn't give you the ability to do it. It only cause you to try to be good. Each animal has it's nature and certain characteristics spring fort from that nature. For example a lion is usually a good predator, a rabbit is good at digging tunnels, a monkey is an expert tree climber etc. So also God is good at being good but human only have knowledge of good and trying to do this good. A human trying to be good is like a lion trying to be an expert tree climber (like a monkey). The lion may become very good in climbing trees compered with other lion but it can never be as good as a monkey. Hence knowing good is useless and the knowledge of morality is unproductive. I am good because I have the life of God in me. I'm not trying to be good but I'm naturally good. It my nature because it is God's nature. God is the one that is good, the best way to be good is not gathering knowledge of good but it is having the life form (which is "good" |

Hiswordxray:@The bolded.... you know what? ... am through with you on the matter, their is nothing to be said that have not already been said... it is left for the people reading it to see who is right here. You may believe ur humanity to be ur weakness, sin, broken and ur enemy. that is for you. My humanity is my greatest strength, it is good, wonderful and my greatest ally. Good is not an entity, neither do you need any supernatural idea to be good. Be well my bro... we are through with the discussion!!! Be Good for goodness sake thats all i have to say to you... |

johnydon22:Well, I have shown you the way out but if you think by trying hard to be good you with actually achieve true goodness then you are deceiving yourself. Maybe when you have tried and tried to be good you would realize how much of a failure you are. And then you would summit to the one who is good in Himself. |

Esiri111:The exemplary life of the Saints throughout the ages of persecution. Their unwillingness to deny Christ in the face of death from the evil Roman Emperors like Diocletian. Look at St Agnes and St Perpetua, all the matyr Popes of Rome from St Peter, 33 of them dying for the witness of Christ. Visit the Roman catacombs and witness the perseverance. All this blood of the martyrs and wisdom of the Saints just inspire in me a steadfast belief in God. Thank u and God bless u for asking. |

Hiswordxray: You have the life of God in you? Lol... That was a joke right? So now, I am talking to a semi creator? As in... U are now somehow omini present, all knowing and perfect (somehowoooo). So what kind of good are you since u now have the life of the creator in you? What's different from your good and nelson Mandela's |

I believe in God cos it is only logical to do so. If there is a creature there will always b a creator. D order in which nature exist point to d fact that someone is behind it creation. Take a banana for example, it is shaped so it can fit perfectly with the palm wen held. 1 Like |
