I am shocked at the hypocrisy and lack of faith of Christians!

I have discovered beyond doubt that Christians actually don't Believe in God!

A girl had leukemia and the dad refused to follow the doctors recommendation, instead he kept his daughter at home and was believing God's report that his daughter was healed. The daughter died and everyone came for his head. Even Christians said he was a fool.

A fool for what? For believing God?
For trusting God?

A pastor dies and his pastor brother and family starts praying for his resurrection. Christians on nairaland called them fools, said he is dead and can't return. What?! Can't God raise the Dead? Did the dead bones of Elisha not raise a dead man? How much more the name of the Living Jesus Christ! Can't it raise the dead?

A man was bitten by a snake in Idu-Osun, Osun state some 10years ago. He insisted on staying in Church and praying. He died after about 6 hours in the church. I recall how everyone, including me (I was a christian then) called the man a fool. Said he was testing God?
So trusting God has become testing God?

Why do we call people fools for trusting God?
Does it mean we don't believe God can do the miraculous again?

What would be a pastors reaction if a BEHEADED person is brought to his church and he is asked to pray for the dead person to come to life?

Do we truely believe God or just playing along just in case God exists?

Makes me wonder...

Hmmm HardMirror again.....if the foundation of our faith I.e our understanding of God's possibility and will is wrong, it will never add up...afterall of the foundation is faulty what will the righteous do.....

A thought provoking question for discussion......HardMirror

We are not violent people and hence i know where you are coming from, i'd pass...should incase you wanna know me berra, drop any question about my GOD and trust the holy spirit, i 'll answer you

Miracles don't happen.
Jehovah is not God.
Prayers don't work.

firstking01:

you seem like a bold one.

so, answer this very simple question.

Mention ONE test that I can carry out to show that your God, and not Allah, is the most powerful and hence worthy of acknowledgement.

In other words, mention one thing that your God can do RIGHT NOW and ANYTIME. that Allah can't do RIGHT NOW and ANYTIME.

When you want to eat, you work. When you are sick, you seek treatment. The Bible talks about seedtime and harvest, not prayer and harvest.
God cannot be mocked. The Bible laid the foundations for occupation. And so if in your ignorance, you think everyone is meant to be in the church praying and non is meant to work for humanity in hospitals, schools, laboratories etc, then God help you.

Man is not supernatural, and man has no power of his own. All power belongs to God.
Dispensation of that power could be in three realities:

Yes,

Wait,

No.


Whatever human interpretation you give to these wont change anything.

There are times when man does not really need answers. Such a time is this.


HardMirror, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter. If anything whatsoever happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from evil; and He will deliver us from evil. But EVEN IF HE DOES NOT, let it be known to you, HardMirror, that we are not going to serve your gods or accept the worthless, meaninglessness, and hopelessness of atheism which you so desperately wish to sell to us." Daniel 3:17

Common, Christians dont believe just because of one event that you witness? Kumuyi just delivered a mad woman from her madeness. The topic is everywhere in the net. If He didnt trust God and have the Holy Spirit on him, He wouldn't perform such miracle. Next time dont generalise.

A girl had leukemia and the dad refused to follow the doctors recommendation, instead he kept his daughter at home and was believing God's report that his daughter was healed. The daughter died and everyone came for his head. Even Christians said he was a fool.

A fool for what? For believing God?
For trusting God?

Were you in that Man's heart to be sure he truelly was believing In God? Did God prohibits Us from taking medication? No.
2 Timothy 4:20 ►
Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus

A pastor dies and his pastor brother and family starts praying for his resurrection. Christians on nairaland called them fools, said he is dead and can't return. What?! Can't God raise the Dead? Did the dead bones of Elisha not raise a dead man? How much more the name of the Living Jesus Christ! Can't it raise the dead?

If it be the will of God, so be it. Dont expect that God will do things the way man do things. If they pray for healing and it didnt happen, it may be for a reason beyond man comprehension.

A man was bitten by a snake in Idu-Osun, Osun state some 10years ago. He insisted on staying in Church and praying. He died after about 6 hours in the church. I recall how everyone, including me (I was a christian then) called the man a fool. Said he was testing God?

Why do we call people fools for trusting God?
Does it mean we don't believe God can do the miraculous again?

It appears you are no longer a Christian. Did you quit for these reasons up there?
And trust me, no true Christian will agree with you that God no more do miracle.

What would be a pastors reaction if a BEHEADED person is brought to his church and he is asked to pray for the dead person to come to life?

The beheaded person is dead why you want him to come back? Did the bible ever say we will not die? Of course no.


Luke 2:2
And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

Matthew 16:28
"Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom


Everyone will die, but true Christians will rise again on the last day. Those who are sleeping now will leave again

Do we truely believe God or just playing along just in case God exists?

Makes me wonder...

I don't know about you. But i can say yes, i do believe him. I will not doubt God just because i wanted something at a point of time he he didnt answer me. It may be that He didnt answer because my ways are not pleasant at the moment i am asking him. Same for all the people you mentioned in the OP.

Not unusual, as anyone else apart from Christians would say he is a fool too

HardMirror:
A fool for what? For believing God?

A fool for not making or taking the right decision of seeking medical assistance or attention and followed up with prayers

So trusting God has become testing God?

TEST ME, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind
- Psalm 26:2

Examine me, and probe my thoughts! TEST ME, and know my concerns!
- Psalm 139:23

You dont test God, it's the other way round.
You're tested to see if are squandering the God given potential(s) in you...
Your heart and mind are examined to see if you are underachieving

Try trusting God by jumping off a 10 storey building without a parachute or safety measures in place, then you'll find out if you are being a fool or not

HardMirror:
Why do we call people fools for trusting God?

I, the LORD, probe into people's minds.
I examine people's hearts. I deal with each person according to how he has behaved.
I give them what they deserve based on what they have done
- Jeremiah 17:10

The person that makes good and right decision(s) is said to be WISE or a wise person
The person that makes a bad and wrong decision(s) is said to be a FOOL or foolish person

HardMirror:
Does it mean we don't believe God can do the miraculous again?

This can be rejected and/or ignored has being an invalid question

HardMirror:
What would be a pastors reaction if a BEHEADED person is brought to his church and he is asked to pray for the dead person to come to life?

The reaction is to be bold, honest, frank and truthful that praying for a BEHEADED dead person to come back to life has serious limitations

HardMirror:
Do we truely believe God or just playing along just in case God exists?

What is God? Who is God? What is God's name? What is the meaning of God?
To your understanding, what is the word God?
Is it a noun, an adjective or both noun & adjective?

HardMirror:
Makes me wonder...

An ordered heart possesses wisdom (i.e. possesses good decision-making skills)
and the ear of the wise listens to knowledge (i.e. listens to information)

Why do people, and atheists in particular, have this idea that once a Christian engages scientific laws in doing something, he has defied spirituality, and is therefore a hypocrite?

The same God who created supernatural laws is the same one who created the laws of physics. And whichever one we decide to harness and engage to solve our problems is fine with God.

The same God who created the heavens and the supernatural laws by which they are ordered is the same one who made the earth and all it's resources and the scientific laws that govern them. So using either one is perfectly good and okay.

God made the earth and gave it to the children of men.

Psalms 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the CHILDREN OF MEN.

And He commanded us to subdue it.

Gen 1v28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, AND SUBDUE IT: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

And harnessing the earth's natural resources and engaging it's scientific laws to our benefit are part of how we subdue the earth.

This opinion by some that spirituality is anti-science or vice-versa, is one of the most ignorant and narrow minded opinions.

God is both supernatural and scientific. He is the most supernaturally powerful being in the universe, and also the most scientifically intelligent mind in the universe. In fact, He created the laws of both realms. And He wants us to excel at working and walking in both -the supernatural and the scientific.

So I agree with those who criticized that pastor, who didn't take his daughter to the hospital or give her drugs because he felt it would be an indictment on his faith. That was very ignorant and arrogant of him.

The same God who ordained healing by the laying on of hands, is the same God that ordained healing by the leaves of trees.

Mark 16:18 - ...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Rev 22:2 -In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree WERE FOR THE HEALING of the nations.

As a Christian, if you know you haven't perfected walking in the supernatural in solving your problems, the scientific is another God-ordained way we are given to solve our problems. God ordained both.

Ayoku777 How can you say god is both scientific and supernatural when the supernatural is defined as something beyond the natural while occurrences that are viewed with science or are "scientific" are termed natural?

Sadly god can't have it both ways as the two are mutually exclusive.

So to God, the supernatural and scientific are not "either and or", they are both His creations which we can and should walk in.

You know we know you as a liar.

Seriously, I had a similar experience precisely a month ago that I even felt like sharing here here but I think this thread has giv'n me the avenue.
It happened to my Aunt who had a tumour(late tho') that was diagnosed to be carcinogenic(it was discoverd when she went for her regular check up). The doctor said it was good that it was discovered early so it won't metastasize and she would need to be operated. When she informed her husband, he bluntly and outrightly objected it saying as far as he's alive, no member of his family would undergo sugery(he even boasted of how his wife delivered their second baby normally even when the doctor said the only option she had was a CS) that it's convenant the Lord made with him. He said the God he serves has never failed him.
Well, as time went by. The man continued fasting and praying. He even went to the mountains. So also the tumour continued to grow still believein in His Yaweh.
Eventually, it was discovered the tumour was malignant and spread drastically within a month. My aunt gave up the ghost last month based on her husband's strong believe in God. Ooh, did I metion he's also a pastor?
Everyone that heard of it blamed him for being so stupid and jeopardizing the life of his wife.
Now, this is my quetion, as a believer, what exactly did the man do wrong?
