Rachealoduah:
Now this is were a lot of people get it wrong,I wanted to just pass after reading some comment but I can't leave with all this misconception about Christianity without saying something.For the fact you serve God doesn't mean you should work without your brain,this is a mistake most Christians make at times and when things don't go the way they want they become frustrated and blame it all on God recalling all their services.
Christianity is not crap,your friend just wasn't ready to face the fact.I doubt you've ever read the Bible if not you'll know it talks a lot about getting wisdom,taking responsibility of yourself and not shying away from your problems(which replaces the part of being smart you spoke about)you can't say because you serve a living God, you now leave all your problems waiting for God or one of his Angels to come down from heaven and settle it for you.I can say with all boldness that you know nothing about Christianity
from your post you've never fancied the religion yet you expect the religion to work for you?How can what you don't believe work for you?you just confirmed the scripture that says "God knows those who are his".I leave you to whatsoever you choose to believe,it truly is your choice anyway but what I don't like is you tarnishing the image of what you know nothing about,probably you might just add atheist and aspiring atheist only to the topic you named it earlier to invite your co's cause all your perception about Christianity are all WRONG.

lemme reply from where you quoted me .
I thought Jesus's sole aim to this world was to salvaged man kind .
what happened to the part of the which says "come to me you who are weary and heavy laden "
what happened to Mathew 7:7.seek knock ask ?
Paul himself was never a Christian at one time but became one in just a day .praise Jesus!!!

what m trynna say is I never fancied the religious life but I lived as a humanist ,just a morally sane life .,I went back to Christianity fully for two years,.doing all that a proper Christian would do.

isn't my two years supplications enough to make god surprise me ,just maybe I could trust him completely and throw away all doubts about him ??

I sense the emotion you're attaching to your replies keep calm please .we are all trynna prove a point devoid of ridicule

Rachealoduah:
Hmm,just as I thought,you served God for what you could get from him,not necessarily because you love him or you see him as one worthy of your service,you don't expect him to reveal himself to you when your service to him is tied to conditions.All this questions and wrong notions are things the holy spirit reveals to you even without asking,I don't want to answer them cause I know you won't still believe,its like a waste of time.Anyway I didn't come to with you, the reason I came back is to apologize to the way I replied you earlier,its so Antichrist like despite the fact you caused it by calling me things I'm not.I'm sorry

Apology accepted. You got one thing wrong tho, I never served yahweh for what I gained from him, i never implied it in my post. I left christianity because it fails logic, critical reasoning, and it is inconsistent with reality. It became obvious to me that christianity doesn't make sense. The price some people pay for indulging in organised magic thinking is the vulnerable to mental slavery, exploitation, missed life opportunities and the wastage of one's life in services to these things.

I was once like you, so zealous and devoted but as I grew and reasoned things out, it was clear to me that religion, voodoo, witchcraft, spells and curses, charms, incantations and other world mysticism are ridiculous garbage. I wish someone told me earlier. You might think there is a holy spirit talking to you but it's just your emotions and intuition. Worse, auditory hallucination. Men have been speaking to god for centuries yet no one has been told the cure for hiv. Perhaps you can ask God for me. Good bye.

did she say she left her book? she prayed, had faith, worked and nothing came out of it, explain that. 33bandit was smart enough to note that prayer makes no difference. "Faith without works is dead" is one of the greatest scams and cunning escapes from the miraculous. Why pray when one will still work hard? For one to get the job done, one must work hard whether the person is religious or not. So what special role does prayer play? If you tell me that prayer adds certainty to hard work, I will show you that are devoted who work hard and are losers in life and there are atheists that are very successful.

People like you are hypocrites, you carry a book that says diseases can be cured by faith alone but I am sure you would discourage and criticise those who put it in practice as being too religious or not understanding the bible. You carry a book that talks of talking donkey, red sea parting into two, edibles(manner) falling from heaven, axe head floating on water, a man walking on the sea, fire reigning from heaven etc. but I am sure you will disregard, disbelief and criticise prophets and christians who profess and try these claims. That's despite you shouting hallelujah after reading these bible verses.

33bandit was right to dump prayer. Not only is it a delusion, it draws one backwards because:
Certain opportunities would be missed and can't be regained because the person was following scriptural principles eg. Instead of utilising medical science, the believer stays at home go about his/her activities and is unperturbed because it is believed that with faith, God will heal it.
NB: case 1 doesn't referred to unserious, hypocritical and biblically ignorant christians instead I am talking about those who know their bible and take it as it is.
I am sure if 33bandit had realised that prayer was meaningless, she would have doubled her efforts and be more realistic in her approach.

aptly written mi guy.
u rendered me speechless tho

@Rachealoduah, go to the neuropsychiatric clinic at yaba and you will see christians, muslims and godless people with all sort of mental problems. I remember walking in there and I saw a woman who was publicly displaying her lunacy. The woman was shouting out holy scriptures, her husband was there with his own mental problem and it was their daughter who happened to be the only child trying to put things together. The daughter is probably still a teenager. What kind of God folds his arm a let that happen? Do you think that if you were the woman you wouldn't have suffered that? Stop looking at only your life, go out and look at others that are suffering and having one problem or the other.

Do you think that if we're among the church members at uyo where a church collapsed, your case would have been different? Is there anything you have that those people didn't?
Do you know that since the history of medicine, no case has it that prayer and faith cured an illness?

yeah, we need to call these sorts of things out. How can someone who has never met you say you sat down and was expecting miracle as if you don't know what is good for you?

that's nauseating though ,some people just conclude without knowing a fraction of ones story so sad .

True. I am happy that you have left religion. Have a successful medical journey.

Bro Good pm. I have read through you posts and i only have one prayer for; and that is that God should open your eyes.
The truth is if we go deep into your claims of once being a Christian we will see that you never truly was a christian but a *religious* person. If you actually got born again the right way, got filled with the Holy ghost you won't be saying this. But all the same my prayers are with you.

To the Op congrats. But trust me you need God now more than ever. I have seen intelligent students being withdrawn from medicine. so no think say to na to get admission na now way work start trust.

The OP is fine. If she reads her book very well, she will make it. Intelligent students get withdrawn because of unseriousness, addiction to marijuana, alcohol, illicit drugs or pornography and being a victim of callous lecturers. If she reads and be careful, she will pass.

Who told you she wasn't really a christian? You were living with her all these while? And please don't try to separate christianity from the word religion. Christianity is a religion - - - - use a dictionary for goodness sake.

Proverbs 16:16 "How much better [is it] to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!"

its good to know that all the gold and silver in the world cannot buy you eternal life. a man should not lain to is own undrstanding for the life of man doesn't depends on what you have or even want to be.

Revelation 22:11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
Those who reject God’s warnings will fix their eternal destiny in hell, where they will retain their evil and filthy natures for all eternity. Those who respond to the warnings will fix their eternal destiny in glory, and realize perfect righteousness and holiness in heaven.
Verse 11 is not a command, but rather a statement of fact and a warning. Character tends to become fixed and unchangeable, determined by a lifetime of habitual action. The arrival of the end will prevent any change of destiny.
Those who hear the truth but continue to do wrong, will by that hardened response fix their eternal destiny in hell. Conversely, those who continue to practice righteousness and keep himself holy give evidence of genuine saving faith.
When Christ returns, the deliberate choice of each person will have fixed his eternal fate.
We cannot cover up from God. God sees into the heart. If you are a sinner, He already knows it. You do not have to tell Him. If you belong to Jesus, He knows that too. Whatever you are down deep, Jesus already knows.
