Honest Question To The Christians by Tamaratonye1(f): 1:48pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
At your discretion - You awaken tomorrow to find headlines around the world: Science has definitively proven that no god exists - anywhere in the universe. All the religious leaders concur. How would your life be different? Would you lose your job? Would your friends abandon you, or would you abandon friends? In what ways would how you spend your time change? Would your expectations for your future change - for the next day, next week, next month, next year, next decade? Would you suddenly lose talents? Etc. Brushing the question aside by claiming such a proof is impossible only ducks the question. Millions of atheists around the world enjoy fulfilling lives without needing a god in it, while many millions cannot envision a life without a god in it. What is it that a god adds that cannot be lived without? 3 Likes |

Tamaratonye1: Peter an apostle following Jesus asked: “Look! We have left all things and followed you; what, then, will there be for us?” Matthew 19:27 In other words what's there to gain that those without the belief in God can never have? Christ Jesus responded: “Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life. Mark 10:29-30 So Jesus is telling all of us that true believers in God will have families and satisfying careers but faithless and arrogant people will persecute them yet if they endure to the end they will be given the visa to live forever! Matthew 24:13 As a true Christian: © Anywhere i go on earth is my home as long as true disciples of Christ lives there because they will welcome me as a family member not a total stranger! Matthew 12:46-50 © I have the assurance that no the troubles that may arise due to racism, my brothers in Christ will never abandon me because the love in Christ has destroyed the barriers of racism! John 13:34-35 Jesus later said something that's really difficult to believe: he promised that his disciples will live forever! John 3:16 Of course this may sound unbelievable but then if the promise of a global family through faith in Jesus is possible then with God all other unbelievable promises are possible! Matthew 19:26 Thanks! 4 Likes |

MaxInDHouse: The claim that there is a God is one that exists today.. so I don't see how a news headline would make much difference.. But just like we've always been doing... We'll ask for the evidence. If there is conclusive evidence that a God exists.. the belief becomes irrelevant. We would simply KNOW that a God exists. But like most other atheists.. we're still waiting for the evidence 6 Likes |

Wilgrea7:Nobody beats anybody it's either we agree or disagree! The fact remains that the only evidence we have to support the fact that there is a gas known as oxygen is the BENEFITS we derive from it, nobody has seen oxygen before! 1 Like |
Re: Honest Question To The Christians by Wilgrea7(m): 5:58pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
MaxInDHouse: Brother maximus.. i have to disagree. We know that dangerous gases like chlorine and sulphur also exist. We don't breathe them in like we do with oxygen... But that doesn't diminish their existence. Oxygen in it's natural form is beneficial.. but in other forms.. such as ozone.. it's dangerous. Existence and benefits are independent of each other |

Wilgrea7: So you agree with me that there are may things we don't have to see until we believe in their existence but the BENEFITS we derive from knowing about them stands as evidence! Well God and Satan exist we don't have to see them as long as we enjoy the BENEFITS of knowing what they are doing matters most to believers! 1 Like |

Tamaratonye1: You have already caught me. First, it is impossible! Why? Because, no creation can ever ever acquire all the information and knowledge that would make it know all there is to know about its Creator. Secondly, to your question, if God should completely abandon us, this world would completely burn in one year as shown by that evil movie called The Purge! Their won't be any jobs to go to and so called friends are the very same ones rushing in to rape and murder you. |

LordTheus:Gibberish utterances from a confused atheist.... Who believes that he has attained the level of spiritual awareness!! |
Re: Honest Question To The Christians by Judas1X: 7:34pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
Dtruthspeaker:As usual, you are assuming a Creator here. If you can't provide evidence of this creator, your assertion here is meaningless. Secondly, to your question, if God should completely abandon us, this world would completely burn in one year as shown by that evil movie called The Purge!DMumuSpeaker, Its comments like this that reveal your severe cognitive impairment. Contrary to your myopic and uninformed claim, history has proven that it those who are fixated gods and religions that insist on hatred, prejudice and violent conflict. Have you ever heard of Atheist Crusade or Atheist Jihad? Religious conflict Religious intolerance Religious oppression These are the things preventing world peace 5 Likes |

terrezo2002:Your god is so called because it is interventional, and anything that intervenes in this world, can be studied by that intervention. God, in addition to the rest of your spiritual mumbo jumbo, isn't beyond science, rather, the other way around - the people who came up with gods could have never imagined science. So how about you answer the hypothetical question, terrezo2002, instead of your unnecessary prevarication and evasion? Or is it a sin - that is, answering hypothetical questions? A mortal one even, like dissing the holy ghost or something? Weird this, how touchy the holy ghost is in particular. Everything else - genocide, raping of babies, burtalising and torturing your "neighbour" - is forgivable, but god forbid someone breathes a single word against the holy ghost. Imagine being this thin-skinned. Or maybe you're incapable of even imagining a world without a universal father figure? Why is that? Lack of imagination? Or is the notion that one day, all too soon, you will be gone from this universe, forever and ever, utterly forgotten within a couple of generations, if that, just too scary? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Tamaratonye1:Why do you sound so disturb because I said Spiritual things are beyond science. Well, the statement is correct. Proving spiritual things to the spiritually blind person is a waste of time because he will not understand. It is like teaching advance mathematics to a new born baby. |
