wis3:I am afraid that is just your perception of things! 2. But patience and resilience do not bring you closer to God nor does it make God approve you righteous. You really need to stop believing God is as defined by your private delusions there. You need to be willing to step out of your brand of delusions in order to see that your views don't color the world and God for all. |

wis3: Again you are wrong and my answer is that i wont tell you because, if they were indeed good people then they would have figured it out. wis3: As i said life is in front of us all and the options are out there for us to choose. So you can choose to rob a bank or push drugs or pretend to play good person so that you would be rich or whatever strategy that you think will make your better. In the end, you are the one who eats what you cooked, whether the meal is sweet or horrible |

Dtruthspeaker:There's no such thing as God blessing you for the things you do. We live in a world of cause and effect. Every single decision we make everyday affects us with positively or negatively. We live in a capitalist world where those at the top are always trampling on those at the bottom. There's no wrong or right. People just want result and will do anything to get it. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. They just want results. |

wis3: That's your experience based on your choices and cause and effect and i am not stopping you from going to rob a bank or push drugs. I don't care bout you. But for me life is very very sweet and good for me because God pours His blessings and wonders upon me everyday. So, you have your own result and God does not bless you that is your own. But your failure and suffering is confined only to you and your kind. There are others like me who are blessed by God. |

Ladygee12: Praying to any god has proven to be of null effect since time immemorial. Forget all the nonsense that was taught to you since you were a kid. All of the testimonies that people share in churches and other various religious centres are exaggerated, overemphasized, falsefully derived and fabricated. People just love to parade themselves as God favourites (lol! Immature people) Think about it, if truly prayer gets answered, absolutely nobody will be in church no more. Do you know why? Everyone's prayer would have been answered and there won't be reasons to jump upandan no more but, why are people still in church? They are there because of the foolish hope that these business men sell to them, so that ,when what they want finally comes to them, they can be quick to attribute it to their imaginary god who doesn't do anything for anyone. Lemme tell you OP. All the things people share as miracles are things that happen to atheists too. Atheists also get sick and recover without medicine and prayers, atheists also get out of accidents, atheists also enjoy financial breakthrough, atheists also enjoy sound health, yet we don't pray to any God. So, what's the God effect? What is the clear difference between you who serve him and us who serve him not? Is there any advantage to your side? If truly prayer gets answered, someone like Myles Munroe wouldn't die in a crash, Idahosa wouldn't die in his 50s, Rev Oyakhilome wouldn't have a defuncted marriage, Pst. Adeboye wouldn't have to bury his son. Please open your eyes and look around you , how many prayers do you think are really being answered? Use Nigeria as a case study. Prayers are for the weak. People who are scared of facing the harsh reality of life that no one is coming to save you unless you save yourself. The Bible is one of the wrongest book to ever be written, and Christianity is the worst religion to ever be. They sell hope to people, they sell faith. And just so you know , Hope/Expectation is an evil. It keeps us from acting and making our future, rather holding us back in passivity. It was believed by the Greeks that hope was the most pernicious of all evils because it prevented people from accepting their reality. Isn't it hope that binds us to a wretched existence, diminishing our power to accept the grim reality? Isn't hope the greatest evil? O.P you are sad today because you were hoping a god will come thru for you. Now that he hasn't come thru for you, how do you feel? Depressed and sad right? Pastors and the Bible and other clergies tell you to, do this , do that and in the end God will come thru for you. Hope was sold to you. Now you've done all that but has he come thru for you? Faith is the same thing as hope. Anyone who preaches hope to you is setting you up for a life of disappointment. It took some people 40years with irreversible errors before they realised that this god thing is a scam and that they've been lied to all their life. Wise up O.P. You are your own god Faith/hope is the greatest evil to ever happen to mankind. |

terrezo2002:Your Bible says God help both the good and bad Matt. 5. [45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. So whether you are a child of Yahweh or not, the bible says he sends blessings to everyone regardless. So this point is dead terrezo2002:Sarah didn't have faith, Abraham's faith even shook, zechariah the father of John also didn't have faith yet his prayers were answered. Mark 9: 23 Jesus said to him, “If[a] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Jesus helped his unbelief, so this point is dead too |
Re: Unanswered Prayers by FRANCISTOWN: 5:00am On Aug 26, 2023 |
terrezo2002: Luke 18: 19 "But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good[righteous]? No one is good [righteous]except God alone." Eph 2: 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. So therefore no one has the right to call anyone else unrighteous, because they themselves are not righteous. Your Bible says no one is righteous, stop acting like you are better than anyone. Therefore these points are also dead on arrival |
Re: Unanswered Prayers by FRANCISTOWN: 5:05am On Aug 26, 2023 |
terrezo2002: James 1: 13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 1cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. Now God doesn't tempt, but he's chastising. Okay, how come this is beyond what the O.P can bear and God is still not doing shit about it? Rip to your points |
Re: Unanswered Prayers by FRANCISTOWN: 5:11am On Aug 26, 2023 |
terrezo2002: Isa 65:24 I love the Contemporary English Version's translation the most. "I will answer their prayers before they finish praying." So this point too is also dead Mention one place where Jesus told them that if you prayed and you don't get answers then it's not yet time. This is one of the excuses you give for the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of your god. Also read Mark 9, 11 |

wis3:In fact I think NL needs to start checking people when mental issues now, not just bots. Many very stupid people are now speaking on behalf of the gods. Someone was saying it takes at least 3+ years before one can attain righteousness while their bible states clearly that righteousness is not by work but by grace which no man can boast of. Christianity is very disorganized . Everyone just comes with different stupidest theories and claim authority over them. |

FRANCISTOWN:Why do u sound so bitter ,no insults pls I'm just asking based on ur write up 1 Like |
Re: Unanswered Prayers by FRANCISTOWN: 6:43pm On Aug 26, 2023 |
Ladygee12: Bittered? A full time atheist who is doin well for himself and his kid has nothing to be bittered about BTW, last I checked, you created this thread. I only wanted to press you into taking responsibility early but don't worry about it, you've still not gotten the drip. It gets me angry when I see what religions have done to people People come here to lament daily on how god (esp. Yahweh) has failed them and refused to turn up for them. You can check this religious section. At you'll find a thread like this once weekly. Yeah! I'm angry at why people know that this thing is not working and yet they are stuck under the guise of the evil called hope. Though no god ever disappointed me, but I've met people face to face whom this God has disappointed during the days when i used to go for evangelism. Anyways, Every of my comments on NL is not just channeled to the receiver but to anyone that will find them comments in the future. Please note the below Advice is a visitor, you can either welcome it or send it away. Peace! |
