another doctrine of the church that drives me nuts... Psalms 37:11,29.... d vast majority of righteous individuals would stay here on a cleansed, perfect earth.... we'd have that perfect IQ to pursue science so deeply, we'd not need money, technology would be at an all time high, cars, many things in that line would be produced, far sophisticated than we can ever imagine... no sickness or suffering to hinder one's enjoyment... wonderful family ties... human-animal relationship would be restored... food would be in abundance, and in variety .... loved ones who had died would be back, never to part again.... adventure trips would so make sense... we'd get to meet those guys we read of in the bible, moses, Abraham, David, Daniel, Job.... we'd get to talk to them and ask them questions.... gosh, eternal life would so make sense

Eberex:
Simple logic. All creatures including man didn't just come into existence. They didn't just "boomed"! Like evolution tells us. If you believe in Darwin's theory then you must be a goat. If however we all are created by a being, who gives you any right to question what He decides? If at the end of the journey you discover the truth, what difference does it make? You are the one who will lose. What is so hard if love rules our heart rather than evil?

If you are not filled with God's spirit, the Bible will continue to remain a confusion for you.

Bro, for months I'm barely hanging on in there. At of thinking and retrospection is raging like an undercurrent in my soul. Why should a religion make sense to me when it has only led to poverty, backwardness and irresponsibility?

Yes. It's pretty difficult to throw away these beliefs since we've known own them from childhood. Why should a religious nation like ours be dirty, poor, wasteful and primitive? It's these questions that have been my headache for YEARS. Very few people actually understand me offline.

If God Want Us to LOVE our ENEMIES, Why Is He Going To Destroy HIS ENEMIES In HELLFIRE?

I need real answers please.

adjoviomole:



Because that is the prblm of man. We want to enjoy the pleasures of sin and the world and still go to heaven. I am a youth I am talking frm experience am not Holy. Its just the fact. It is not easy to liv an holy life But God is able to help us if we want His help.

dearpreye:


Actually it's very easy to live the holy life, if you will stop depending on your SELF!

And who told everybody is interested in going to your imaginary heaven? Your pastors preach about this magnificent heaven but non of them prays for an early death to go there. Instead, they acquire the best estates, drives the best cars and fly private jets. You guys better wake up to the fact that there is no heaven or hell fire anywhere.

otiigba1:
he could have just said what he meant literally, this is why why the whole Bible appears confusing, because somw christians interpret it differently, God will send sinners to hell fire and they will burn forever, i mean we are only small, there will be nothing left after a few days of barbecuing us, let alone forever . Is there really anything like forever?

MizMyColi:
The earlier Most Christians realize that they have been sold a false concept of God, the better.

Sometimes, it takes leaving the "faith" completely to find the true God.
You will then realize that it/he has always been a part of you....a powerful force/dimension which the world and mind couldn't possibly fathom.

Now that is the paradox of our FAITH.

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

posts like this make me ANGRY.

First off, a GOOD God would be the champion of equality. Despite the fact that he created us, he would view us as equals. The way you're describing God . . . sounds like darken rahl or the fire lord in avatar. Just admit that we're pawns. Mere slaves, or tools to be manipulated by God, stop saying God loves us and so he sent his only begotten son . . . and stuff . . . if he doesn't veiw us as his equals, then he wouldn't need to do all that. He could just simply discard us.

Secondly. NOTHING justifies hellfire. NOTHING. It doesn't matter how much you try to sugarcoat it, the fact is still there that the concept is very cruel and wicked. Imagine the six million Jews that Hitler horrifically killed. Well, most of them were not Christians, so I guess they will burn in hell, then? Before the missionaries came. Several generations of native tribes flourished on west Africa. The owu war was a very brutal war that claimed many lives. I guess they will also burn! The king of Dahomey once killed ONE THOUSAND prisoners in one day to appease HIS God, imagine the surprise of the innocent prisoners which included women and children when they find themselves undergoing the same punishment with the Dahomey king.

Dude, you have a brain! Reason! Think! Do you really think God is that wicked? If he is, then why is he lying that he is a good God that loves us? Can you cut off your son's fingers for stealing all your money?

guyXander:

You don't need answers. You already have them.
You just came here to mock the reply that people will give.

The Lord said I will put my laws in your heart.

"Nothing about Love makes sense to humans, yet we love still. "
God is love.

I follow God blindly because of this text: "Truth himself speaks truly, or there is nothing."

anonimi:


I think the highlighted was what Jesus Christ talked about in John 4:

great664:


I will give answers without quoting any scripture verse , just my personal view on your question drawn by the Picture.

1. The greatest commandment on earth irrespective of religion, tribe or race is LOVE. God wanted that Love and Unity on earth that was why He commanded that, as for burning in hell, nothing like burning in hell forever, its second death after the second resurrection when the enemies will try to rebel and destroy the new Jerusalem.

2. Yes Satan can do anything that God does not allow. God created all to have a free will, the ability to choose what's wrong or right. we are not Robot neither Satan, as you and I have the ability to make any choice so also every Gods creation.

3. Similar like the second question, Gods intention was not to create uncomfortable earth, it was Satan rebellion that bring about the sin on earth, that rebellion started as a result of our free will, so you can also choose to believe in Him or Not but what's important is to do what you feel is right and avoid wrong things, Let your conscience be the judge.

4. When I get my hand on the original manuscript of the Bible then I will answer you well, But I believe Jesus died on Friday and resurrected on Sunday that's why Christians celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday, but on the day of his resurrection, the bible mentioned that "On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene ..............." which means Sunday is the first day and Saturday the 7th day which God commanded us to keep Holy.

5. Like I said earlier, there's nothing like Hell Fire, I believe in total annihilation of sinners, that's second death. But from your own point of view if there's Hell, Haven't you loose your loved ones or seen people who lost theirs? Did you stop eating, sleeping , or doing every other thing because you lost someone very close? it will hurt a little but, In 2Pac's Voice " Life Goes On"

6. Provide the original manuscript or forever be silent .

There's nothing like real answer, it's from many school of thought but Let Love Lead you

Emmahunk:


I have nothing to discuss with you further on this, take God to Court or hire assassins to deal with him.
May God forgive you

MizMyColi:
Exactly Bro.
You are right.
But many failed to get the spirituality and simplicity behind his message...instead what he got were either those who demonized him or bothered on religious extremes.

milkymesh:
No satisfactory answer?? I believe in God and I am a Christian. However, for many months now I just sit in my house on Sunday and ponder over my more than three decades beleif. Have I been tricked all these while?. Every christian should ponder all the questions on the pix.
I am beginning to think religion is a tool used by a few to manipulate many to their advantage.
No religion is of God- weather Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,Judaism, just mention it. I still searching for answers. Until then, I still beleive

Far too many who CALL themselves christians listen ONLY to their pastors who are more interested in being worshiped as gods of men because of the pecuniary benefits rather than for them to open their own Bibles, read and come to their own personal understanding of the Christ they claim to follow.
Why would anyone follow what a pastor says instead of what Jesus said beats me hollow, walahi!
Today's pastors are no different from the Pharisees etc that Christ lambasted frequently.

Teempakguy:
oh yes, quite. For thew first 5000 years. After that, it would just be rather dreadfully boring.

Also . . . this is not what is actually described in the bible. That most Christians quote. I prefer this type though. what part of the Bible did you get it from?

bulldoza:

Rubbish

Then why is God "all knowing"
He knows the beginning and the end. i.e, he knew Satan would end up being rebellious and yet, he still created him....
#YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND OR ASSUME FOR GOD.
#GOD WORKS IN A MYSTERIOUS WAYS
#NO RELIGION IS PERFECT.

Teempakguy:
This is why many people become atheists.
God is nowhere to be found. And his supposed "messengers", you guys . . . are entirely useless as well.

[b[You failed to refute my argument[/b], which by the way is a very important one, and asked me to drag God to court. shouldn't you be saying "wait, lemme ask God. I'm a Christian and the bible says whatever we ask shall be given?"

And then you just spin into incoherent rantings. Only to end with, "May God forgive you"
Very disappointing. Seriously.
I'm done here.

menxer:


Reasoning comes with a high premium few are ready to pay, especially "my pastor said 'Christians'"

Setaje:
Well the problem most of you have is that you read the bible like a story book. Everything written in that bible is allegorical. Every verse, every part has deep meanings. If u have doubts, u cannot understand God nor the bible. The bible itself is beyond logic. U think the serpent in the bible is a snake. Or that Adam and Eve are one person. The bible is complete. You need the holy spirit to help u understand beyond just reading it like tales of the past!


Secondly, when I feel down I sometimes doubt the existence of God and why he should allow certain things happen sef. Suddenly I remember several unexplained things that have happened in my life and the life of my family members beyond human comprehension. No science or logic can explain it. It was beyond luck. When I remember this things then I no God is real. God is true and God can never fail. Maybe a lot of u doubting thomases have not experienced the wonders of God. But I rather believe in a God and die wiv that believe. It won't hurt anybody than not believing in anything and die and actually see "everything ". Cus in death, everything becomes clear!

trust me too much of rationality is bad, u talking like a westerner, pls dont loose it. The fact u dream alone to an unknow world shows u have a spirit or soul. And their got to be a creator of that soul
