Scholar8200:
But that spoke about a denomination, not the Bible?!

@op what do you believe?

When you do something repeatedly and you have the same result, it becomes your way of life.
when you try a road and it leads no where and someone comes around to show you the way then you will be loyal to that individual. If you are not careful you may worship that person. that sometimes is the relationship between pastors and their followers.
If I claim I received an inspiration from the a supreme being, and I followed it to the letters thereby making my life simple better and straight why would someone condemn what is working for me. if i tell another fellow and he tries same and it works for him or her, why dispute i am out there to scam the fello.
apart from tithes and the issue of money what else does Jesus preach about the laws of God.
1. thou shall love the Lord with all thy heart, mind, strength
2. thou shall love your neighbour as yourself.
3. Do on to others as you would they do to you.
i add number 3. as the golden law preached by Jesus.

Tell me which of these laws if kept by everybody will not change the world. Just try and be reasonable
one of the faith or believe system that has changed more evil people in the world today undoubtedly is being born again.
do you know why the punishment in the old testament was severe? it was because the israelites had a hardened heart and grace was not available. despite all those laws they still committed those evils. But at the time of grace all sins have been paid for as long as we recieve the free gift that our sins are actually been paid for. today it is the laws of the land that punish offenders. most of the time we call offenders to be punished too without mercy. Well i realised that most jailed fellows dont necessarily change but become more hardened after their jail time. so which shd be more encouraged? to punish offenders or to tell offenders they have a chance to try again and do good with their lives. If i preach to an armed rubber who has the potential of robbing my house one day, kill me or my beloved ones,and the guy converts to a good man. is that not wise? and the scripture says he that wins a soul is wise? Christ preaches forgiveness of sins, sharing our substance, house and food with others. clothing the naked, taking care of the neeedy, the orphan and the widows, seeking judgement for those who are oppressed and letting people know there is hope for them if they hang on to their creator and do his will. what else do you think will create much joy in the world than this? How many people have by mere words converted from their evil ways? kindly provide a statistics. and also look at how many people christianity is converting every day to do good. Some people could use gospel as business, it is not the first time and even the scriptures warned belivers of false prophets. its now for us to discern by God's leading who we can attach ourselves to as our real prophets. I have testimonies of those converted from their evil ways and are doing fine now. a guy was about committing sucide after a frusted life, a guy preached to him and he listened, followed the guy to church and he was prayed for. Soon his life changed and he became one of the happiest people on earth. What do you say, should we desist from doing this good. please dont castigate a system until you have known what it was originally developed for. we have bad users and abusers.

Well,he seems to have given a clear picture...and captioned it on Facebook as ' Christians,behold your merciful God'.
I have had this picture saved for over a week now and what I kept asking is why will God punish an innocent woman trying to save her husband and yes,grabbing his genital is the easiest way for her to make him weak...
Anyway...I won't stop believing that there is God. These days,I really don't see not going to church as a sin even thou I must but I try to do what is right and making people around me happy because the way most of these people who claim to be born again behave sometimes,makes one wonder what they learn from their 24hours church service.

peppyluv02:
Cold! Bia ebea...

cold:

Haha..just seeing this now. Funny image though,but that's the cold,bitter truth. The biblical description of the Christian god is deplorable to say the least. Peppyluv02,you're on the path to self realisation. When you can no longer reconcile your sense of reasoning with your faith and all the indoctrination you've been fed with since childhood,the truth that religion is nothing but a con begins to set in.

peppyluv02:
Self realization you say? Cold,I don't think I will stop believing that their is God. Thou,too many things about Religion,not just Christianity,that are confusing.

freecocoa:
The picture is just the truth about said passage, it's amazing what one can do with people's minds when religion is involved.

The only reason I haven't started a church is because I'm no criminal, make una thank una stars because I know many people here that will pay tithes and offerings to me.

peppyluv02:
Are you an atheist too?

freecocoa:
Yes I am.

timonski:
come see where olodo dey claim atheist.

freecocoa:
Yes I am.

Redlyn:


Its been really interesting watching your evolution from Christian to freethinker / agnostic to now labelling yourself as an atheist. It's a tough label to come to terms with initially but when you realise God is unknown and religion doesn't make sense there is no other option but to embrace it.

freecocoa:
Lol, didn't know anyone noticed.

Wasn't tough for me really though, I never was your typical christian, there's no much difference.

@freecocoa
been looking for you. How have you been?

freecocoa:
I've been alright , I don't remember this your moniker though, how are you?

pipeewa:



great! I am happy you have been fine. I have been reading your posts and I wish I could meet with you one on one. do you still live in PH?
do you mind if we talk about your new way of life and the old. If you have a better conviction of the way you are confused about will you give it a try?

freecocoa:
I still live in PH. I don't mind talking about it but we can do it here.

I am not confused, atleast not anymore and I'm certain there's no going back for me.

That's what happens when Daddy GO calls you to do God's work and not God Himself. If God calls any one for any service, He will personally reveal the calling to the person and prepare them for it. It's a pity these pastorpreneurs, for their selfish interest have succeeded in making unbelievers speak evil of the word of God. That's why almost all the ministers in ministries like that are NOT born of the spirit of God.

God is not a gambler; He declares the end from the beginning...He would never call any one who would end up becoming an atheist. No holy spirit filled person would become an atheist later in life; and God would never call you without baptizing you with the holy ghost (glorification), which is the power that makes you a child of God! The power that would make you loss the desire to sin...it keeps you in check and causes you to live a life pleasing to God.

It's written;

Romans 8:30

And those whom He predestined , these also He called; and whom He called , these also He justified; and whom He justified , these also He glorified.
