What the heck is God?
Who brought the concept of god?
Is it the same people who took you by the millions from your families and turned you into slaves that gave you god?

Africans will continue to remain backward as long as they refuse to think.

But I am curious, why can't you just worship creator Himself directly rather than through who he created to bring his message to you? lipsrsealed

Is there anyone you know you dare not question? Is there anyone, at least one person like that you dare not disrespect? If yes, then who do you think you are to question God? undecided

Who really are we to question God? A God in charge of the air we breathe, in charge of our thinking faculty and anything else that make us feel relevant, beyond anyone else.

What right do you think you have to dictate for Him? What level of existence do you operate in that you feel you can tell Him what and not what to do? A mere man who sleeps and knows not what happen around him during those moment but only to wake up and question God as though God operates in his level.

You who can't stop yourself from sleeping, from eating, from thirst, who can hardly control your reflex actions, what makes you think you can question God?

You who can't recreate yourself or create someone like you, You this worm, this clay, how can you boldly stand up to your creator? What level of intelligence do you have that you think you have the guts to stand up to God?

You say who is God? He is your creator.
A creator who was not created, I mean He has no creator. A creator who was, who has been before time, before the world began, before creation. Our creator has no beginning and ending of days. He is the only one who knew us before we were formed in our mother’s womb, the one who knows the number of hairs on your head, the one who knows your thoughts even before you carry them out, the one who gives you life and air to breathe. 

And you know what? He is just one kind, I mean there is none like Him. He is the one who without Him nothing was made that has been made.

So how dare you question Him? I am not saying you shouldn't question Him, but what right do you have to question Him?

Which God are you talking about? Please, be specific. There are thousands of Gods. Even men are Gods!!!

The good news is, This God doesn’t let authority freak Him as such because He says you can come nearer to Him and ask anything in His name and you will be given if only you come to Him with a broken spirit and a contrite heart. He is a God who loved you whether you question Him unnecessarily, or whether we’re conscious of Him or not, He loves you still, He loves you through it all. But you will only get to know Him better and have answers to your questions if you willingly and humbly come to him.

In Isaiah 43:7, we were made to understand that God created us for His glory. And how do we glorify God? By loving Him, by worshipping Him and by constantly living for Him.

Is that too much for a loving and compassionate creator to ask? He knows better than you and He said if you don’t love Him, it means you are against Him. But when you are for Him, He will direct your path.

Psalm 25:12
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose.

I'm questioning what people say about him.. because people can tell lies.. people can make the claim that “God said this and that" ... i need to know the truth.. I'm not questioning God.. i totally acknowledge him.. but i won't let someone tell me a lie... if I'm being given third hand information about God, then i think i have to question and verify.. not God.. but what people claimed about him
That syncs a lot.

let's study your holy book and see if your post makes sense

And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen. “And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst. (Matthew 18:19-20)

Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25)

And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14)

With all these passages claiming that if they have even the smallest amount of faith (Matthew 17:20 For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.)then whatever you ask for in prayer will be granted,

there are obviously only a few options available for Christians to chose after taking a honest look at the lives of Christians and seeing their prayers fail most of the time:

1) the Bible is wrong, Jesus never said these things

2) the Bible is right, Jesus said these things but Jesus was wrong

3) the Bible is right, Jesus said these things but Jesus lied

4) no one who prayed for anything that actually required god's intervention, like amputees had any faith

5) the Bible is just a collection of myths & fables & Yahweh, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Satan doesn't exist

These religious fanatics are funny.
To start with, your God didn't make contacts with us directly but through people called, prophets, I have every right to question the authenticity of a God whom wouldn't feel free to speak to me but to his prophets.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I dare not question God Almighty. What we pray for sometimes ain't what he wants for us.
He doesn't seek opinion or advice before he decides what is good for you.

Y'all need to understand that you can't act God or play God's advocate. He has called you to win souls not win arguments.. .he has called you to spread the gospel not attack others. So do what you are asked to do and leave all this side attractions that may cause you to slide.

Deep within us, we all know Yahweh is a serial failure.

If nothing is impossible for him and you can ask for anything...Pls what have you ever asked from Yahweh that he has done for you? And you are 100% sure that he did it all alone without you working hard towards it or through coincidences which you attributed to him.

The gods have no business with us, it's all about us.

why wont i question God



Sticky Fingaz - Oh My God if u know dis rap in 2001 grin grin

(Sticky Talking)
C'mon man - oh my fucking God man..
Oh shit, what the Bleep did I do?
It's all my fucking fault man, it's all my fucking fault
Bleep man, Bleep am I doing man, why man
Why God, why did you have to take him? Bleep..

[Sticky]
Why? Why? Why God why?
Everything I love always seems to die
Answer me, speak to me, I don't hear you
Answer me, motherfucker I ain't scared of you
Is there even a God? Do you even exist?
What I gotta do to speak to you? Slit my wrists?
I'm talking to a God that I can't see
Can you see me? Can you see me?

[God]
Are you confused my son, and scared?
Let me make things more clear, so you're more aware

[Sticky]
Bleep who was that all this shit is freaking me

[God]
It is I God did you not say you wanted to speak with me?

[Sticky]
Bullshit I am talking to myself, I'm going insane

[God]
You are talking to yourself we are one of the same

[Sticky]
It can't be it must be the drugs I'm high
And if you are then why are we born if we live to die?
Is there life after death? What were we before birth?
Why is this whole earth plagued and cursed?
Is killing a sin is there life in other planets?
Is adultery wrong did you write the ten commandments?

[God]
Easy, my son, one question at a time
We were never born, and we will never die
In the essence, there Is no such thing as death
How could I write commandments and not have them kept?
The soul is eternal you just change form
Then you come back with a new face on
You can not limit love unless you lack understanding
To answer you yes there is life in other planets
The futures a mystery the past is history
Today is a gift that's why it is called the present
Life is so simple unless you make it confusing
The wise ones stand this and the clever will use it

[Sticky]
Wait - God, there is so much I want to ask you
God, God? Where are you? God I need to talk to you

[Hook]
If you could talk to God, exactly what would you say?
If you could talk to God, exactly what would you say?
If you could talk to God

[Sticky]
Tell me, are there psychics that can speak telepathically?

[God]
Yes but few use more than one tenth of the minds capacity

[Sticky]
I can't think I feel life going down the drain
In the streets everywhere I am surround in pain

[God]
Don't think, your thoughts are just that- thoughts
Your feelings are real, erase what you been taught
Feelings are the language of the soul the soul is truth
I speak through you to aware the youth

[Sticky]
But why let the suffering go on why not just stop it?

[God]
In order for anything to exist, so must its opposite
How can there be left if there was never right?
How can something know death if it never knew life?
How can you lose, if nobody won?
How can it be dark if there was never a sun?
That which is not grandeur, the soil still blessed
Form must exist for part of themself to manifest

[Sticky]
But I never asked to be born, I hate my life
And if you are God dammit then show me the light
And tell me- what's the meaning of life?

[God]
The process of all life
Is an ongoing, never-ending process of recreation of self

Oh My God
Sticky Fingaz

[Sticky]
Is God a he or she is there one true religion?

[God]
I'm the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning and ending
We are all one and everything is living

[Hook]
If you could talk to God, exactly what would you say?
If you could talk to God, exactly what would you say?

Hahahahah
U bluffing out the lies/illusion they installed u with grin
They told u not to question him cos they knew he has done some terrible crazy things
In fact God is a hypocrite just like his Ass lickers

Says we should love our enemy, sends his to hellfire

Says we must forgive, like he forgived Adam and eve, The little Children mocking the bald Prophet, Moses, Cain, Solomon, Satan.

Says he is unchangeable, decline many things He use to accept in the Old Testament to create New Testament

Says we should not kill, drown the Whole earth, Killed his son, Kills little children, destroys Sodom and Gomorrah, even encourages killing, help Samson, David, Moses Etc to kill.

Says we shouldn't be jealous to one another but he is a jealous God

Tells us not to fear, says we should fear him

Says he is beyond understanding but his ass licker Followers understood every positive side of him.

Not question?? Haha. My brother we are not dumb. Even the acriptures say to test every spirit. Now, i want to test this spirit that claims to be the creator.
1) God are thou not the all powerful? Arent thou the eternal? More than a planets in the cosmos, yet you chose to send satan to earth. If satan tempted angels and they fell, is it eve who is lesser than the angels that would not fall?
2) arent thou most merciful? Yet you took away the tree of life, satan was right. If you hadnt tajen away tree of life we would all be living fine.
3) why the Bleep didnt you just destroy the devil, after all dosent the potter have power over the pot? Who would judge you for getting rid of the devil? All u had to do was snap your fingers.
4) OMG!! You know the world would one day become filled with evil, yet you choose to not end the world, is it bcux u want more ppl in hell??
5) if i dont question you, how would i know if youre not the devil himself? Surely you can prove to us all that you are not a fairy tale.
Dont get me started cuz there are sooo many errord in your so called word of God. I keep wondering what you created more than 200 planets for... If earth is the centre of the universe!!! U lied mehn.

Let me add, why only the jews?? For thousands of years black people indians Chinese whom never had the opportunity to know you exist are all going to hell. So unfair.. Im not done yet mehn. Think bout this first.
