OriOko88:from the traditional Igbo religion. In my community, if you kill your brother, you will also die within a year. No be whinnying. But in the bible if you kill your brother and go for confession you are forgiven. If an elder lies during judgement, he won't judge next year. You are the one who lost your root. A Bible that said that"I give Egypt and Ethiopia for thee" is a racist bible. |

LordReed: If you have you read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation you will know that your assertion above, that death is the end of everything, is false. On the Mount of Configuration, two dead Bible personalities, Moses and Elijah came to meet Jesus to comfort Him concerning His coming crucifixion. If you have you read about any After Death Experience testimonies on Internet, you will know that once you have been conceived in your mother's womb, your soul can never cease to exist, there is only transition to a spiritual realm after earthly death. Moreover if you are really curious about this, let me introduce you just two books to open your eyes. One is Anna Rountree's "The Heaven Opened", and the other is Rick Joyner's "The Final Quest". These are two real life reports of living people who were taken to Heaven and Hell to record what were happening there for our knowledge. You can download these for free on Christian Library platform on Telegram. When you do so your life will never remain the same. |

For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable. Romans 1:20 We can see proof of God's existence from ourselves, have you ever sat down to wonder if it will be as easy to use as it is now if it was positioned differently, we can ask the same about our heads, legs or what if our delicate organs were placed outside the body without protection? what about our needs, do we have them here on earth, food, water and air? How about the things we enjoy, our differences in what we love and we all have what we love here. The answers just points out that someone intelligent created us and gave us earth as our home with all that is necessary for our survival. That person is God. What comes to mind if while traveling through a desert or a land that people believe has been travelled before, you find a plastic bottle on the ground? you would immediately conclude that a man has at one time or the other passed that road. So why is it difficult to associate the existence of man and every other complex living thing to a higher intelligence? |

From History, some of the most advanced civilizations believe in the concept of some form of deity, God and the devil, and in many cases gods. From the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans and even modern day world powers. Even communist countries allow some form of worship. Atheists are alone in their foolery. FatherOfJesus: |

membranus: Anna Rountree's book where Jesus is romancing a woman in heaven? LoLz. Rick Joyner has to be one of the more delusional people who claim to be prophets. I read his book when I was still a Christian and I wanted to puke, it's just filled with nonsense after nonsense. I just read that all his children disagree with his political views, that's to show you how delusional he is. |

Eriokanmi:Awesome indeed. The issue here is dat there are people who have waited patiently for such signs to believe in God, but they ain't forthcoming. Seeing is believing! Lots of ardent religious persons are being overwhelmed by one problem or d other. This truly alters their faith. Some are yet to see the true dividend of being a believer. Sometimes I think, maybe there is God, but we know him not. I mean, there is possibility of God's existence, but what we call God might not be the true God. Also, about ur dreams, what made u think they are religious? I mean, can't unreligious people dream and dey come to pass? |

petra1:I think U're wrong... When one reaches an evaluative stage, he forms his ideology and beliefs. When u're still a child, u reason cognitively. How can u say the father started late to nurture him towards the path of truth? Diz pastors children do face such circumstances. Why? They know dia parents, how "truly" religious or "godly" they are more dan u. As a pastor, you're anointing people every Tuesday and Sunday at the tune of 7k each. Making over a million weekly just on anointing. Giving fake prophecies, collecting upto 500k from people facing one predicament or the other. (it's usually charged according to ur status, the richer the higher)....etc. Then, sending all ur children abroad to study at d detriments of ur gullible followers. Then, u expect ur guy-man son/daughter to be "truly" religious when they know U're just a caring dad/business man trying to make both ends meet for his family. Mind u, I say wot av seen. Infact, one of the sons said he would convert the church to hotel in due time. The daughter is oversea flaunting nude-like pics and videos on Instagram, while d father(pastor) chastises members on applying make-ups, wearing of hair attachments, finds several decent dressing as indecent. But the most painful part of it is greed! Making all diz humongous money, yet can't pay people dat works in several church department, saying is God's work dey do. Their reward is in heaven. I know will say all ain't same, but I tell u, remove economic gains from the church nd watch most, if not all pastors resign. |

THE FUNNIEST THING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT KNOW VERY LITTLE BUT THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL IS THAT ; THEY ONLY READ BOOKS AND ARTICLES ON THE SURFACE. EVEN CHARLES DARWIN, THE ASSUMED FATHER OF EVOLUTION BELIEVED IN GOD. LET ME GIVE YOU A QUOTATION FROM CHAPTER 6 OF DARWIN'S INFLUENTIAL BOOK THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES. "To suppose that the eye' with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus of different distances, for admitting different Amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess absurd, in the highest possible degree". CHARLES DARWIN CONFESSED THAT THE LITTLE COMPLEXITY OF THE EYE, COULD NOT BE DUE TO EVOLUTION, HOW MUCH MORE, THE KIDNEY, LIVER, UTERUS AND CHILD BIRTH, THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, CIRCULATORY SYSTEM AND THE ALMIGHTY BRAIN. 1 Like |

Eriokanmi: Congrats on your witness that God exists. Can you, however, REASONABLY PROOF that God truly exists and His nature— especially what makes Him special compared to African gods? NOTE: By God, I'm assuming you mean Abrahamic God (the one recorded in Quran, Bible and Torah) |
Re: My Father Is A Pastor But I Don't Believe In God. by Ephemmm: 5:44pm On May 09, 2022 |
KINGJAJA888: You are probably still at a stage of self-awareness, and majority of us were there at a stage in life. Your only mistake is that you defined Christianity just the way you see people practising it, but you have never attempted to really study the life of Christ and how it symbolizes selflessness, sacrifice, equity, justice, equality and love. I am a pragmatic type and not religious one, and people mistaken me for atheist most time, but I can never doubt the existence of God in all ramifications. Even if heaven is fake, what do you have to loose after death? But will you have the opportunity to retrace your steps if it is real? You will know Christ and service Him more than your father; it is a matter of time bro. Mark my words bro. |
Re: My Father Is A Pastor But I Don't Believe In God. by chaloskyx: 6:40pm On May 09, 2022 |
Good for you to stand on your beliefs truth is God does not exist let no man fool you most pastors are similar to most non believers their defence for their faith is all tied down to a book made by humans they lie about their spiritual connections to God which is all made-up to make them look like divine messengers |

Let me weigh in a little to my best knowledge. If one is Keen on proving the existence of God, it's a misery that cannot be unearthed but ofcourse as a human being, we are blessed with the ability to critical think and make out some things on our own... Who can prove or tell us the concept and genesis of the blue deep and unlimited blue oceans and seas that cut across the world? I mean, look around you, the signs of his existence are there....... Let's start from the creation of man and animal, life and death and the extinction of all these things on the earth surface. And whenever we have a talk of this nature,the following are what pops up in my mind: Why do we die? Why do you sleep and loose consciousness until you are awake? You don't think all these happens without the existence of a supreme being orchestrating all of these. I can go on and on. All of these are enough for you as a prove to compliment your curiosity. I'm a fair religious person in practice, but I strongly have a belief in the existence of God beyond a doubt. |
Re: My Father Is A Pastor But I Don't Believe In God. by FatherOfJesus: 7:11pm On May 09, 2022 |
meedoLock:There's nothing impossible to know, we know that atleast the Christian God doesnt exist. The Bible has been falsified countless times. We can test his attributes purported by his followers to be false Who can prove or tell us the concept and genesis of the blue deep and unlimited blue oceans and seas that cut across the world?if you cannot prove it, don't make claims. I mean, look around you, the signs of his existence are there....... Let's start from the creation of man and animal, life and death and the extinction of all these things on the earth surface. And whenever we have a talk of this nature,the following are what pops up in my mind:I do not see any footprint of any god in what I see around me. I see footprints of theory of evolution, geogenesis and big bang. I always see evidence against the Christian God everytime. However, if you ask me about a deistic imperfect being that made the world, I will tell you that I don't know. But you think you know then you have to convince rational people with crystal clear evidence Why do we die?This questions doest make any sense, it doesn't prove the existence of a God whether or not we answer it. Why do you sleep and loose consciousness until you are awake?how does this provide evidence for god? You don't think all these happens without the existence of a supreme being orchestrating all of these. I can go on and on. All of these are enough for you as a prove to compliment your curiosity.yes I think all these happened without a Supreme being unless you show me the evidence. I'm a fair religious person in practice, but I strongly have a belief in the existence of God beyond a doubt.You are religious person who hasn't been engaged enough to start think critically. You have made numerous statements on basis of appealing to ignorance, none of them make philosophical or scientific sense. The summary of your statement is "I don't know, we cannot know hence God". That's a bad way of reasoning. You weren't sent to school to reason like that |
Re: My Father Is A Pastor But I Don't Believe In God. by membranus: 7:16pm On May 09, 2022 |
LordReed: If those were the only impressions you picked from the two glorious books, then your atheistic case is in critical stage, but you are not beyond redemption yet. If the earlier suggested knowledge cures are not strong enough to end your religious cynicism, let me try on you a more portent cure. Try reading Mary Baxter two books on visitations to hell and heaven, these will do the job. P.S. on Joyner's children disenchantment with their father's conservative creeds, that is the normal for majority of American Pastors' kids. They are mostly liberals, and do not subscribe to their fathers faith based leaning. But that doesn't mean they don't love their parents. |
