We are waiting for the day you will write this trash about Quran... Your head will turn to ball for soccer.

MJBOLT:

gradually people will wake up and realise religion is a scam and there is no god anywhere.

I guess I'm beginning to wake up to that reality.

Yes there are contradictions in the Bible. But I think this boils down to the interpreters .it's could be human errors. But that's not enough to suggest God does not exist though. I have seen things in this world that convinced me beyond every reasonable doubt that God exist.Years ago when I was sick,I was taken to one herbal Doctor.in the cause of treating me he told me many stories which I believe where true because he had no reason to lie to me.one of the story he told me was his experience when he went to fight spiritual war with a genuine Christian. He said he was a distance from the man's house when he started seeing fire burning on top the man's House, he had to run for his life. But he said he has successfully fought and defeated many Christians too.when I asked why he was able to defeat those ones he simply replied with this profound words."They have spoilt their hands with sin". Sincerely I was dumfounded,why a witch doctor was saying this was beyond my imagination. What I deduced from the story is that God protects with fire,but protects those that does his will and desist from sins.Even my life is a testimony too.I have survive too many attacks that also convinced me of the existence of God.my bro how wish I can see you one on one.

Our forefathers before Islam and Christianity were not atheists. Atheism is alien to human culture. We have to get rid of Islam and Christianity and go back to the old gentleman God of our ancestors via IFA.

I am happy you have come to this knowledge.
Of course, I might delve beyond what you have come to, the Bible has so many things that don't add up. Lots of Christians know this but they have no choice, their mind has become enslaved. Let me share what I have come to:
The truth is whatsoever you believe in works for you, our belief births power, that is so because we are offshoot of God, God lives through us and through God we live. We have been taught to see right and wrong but there is nothing like right or wrong.
They say when we die in sin, we end up burning for all eternity, well that's a lie, no thanks to the Roman Catholic Church, there is nothing like hell, instead there's Reincarnation, we in Africa believed strongly in reincarnation except that now it's just the devil's doing, names like Babatunde ( father is reborn) are significant.

When a child is born blind, the child probably made someone blind in his past life. The Bible can't give you this knowledge because those that know seek to cage our minds with fear.

1.Jesus is the only way to God, John 14:6
This invariably means those who don't believe in Jesus have no business in heaven.
Christians worldwide have an estimated population of 2.4billion people
Islam records an estimate of 1.9 billion adherents, Hindu has an estimated 1.1bn adherents. The remaining world's population have their own beliefs which includes atheism.
If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so.

2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess."
Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe)
Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions.

3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead?
I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue.
I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence.
I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family.

4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most.
The 1933 Holocaust and mass murder of Jews to the tone of 6m was a clear indication that God turns His eyes against His people

What makes you believe that studying the Qur'an is a waste of time? It isn't the same as the Bible you know... Most Muslims aren't facing the challenges you listed in your opening post because:

1) It doesn't make sense that eternal life is dependent on some god-man, who never claimed deity btw.

2) there's no contradiction or inconsistencies in the Qur'an if you read it carefully.

FrLukas:


Your mistake is associating the existence of a Divine Being with a particular religion.

The Creator of all that exists is not a Christian God, neither is He a Moslem God.

Once you understand that, you will realize that your first and primary duty on earth is to search for the Truth and not loyalty to a particular religion or sect.

Temmywalex:
Man, I share your view too.

But again, how do we human being and all other creation come into existence?. This is one other question that will make us want to believe in the existence of God.

A critical look at the creation of the world and all the inhabitants shows a very high level of planning and organization. Someone must be responsible for all these.

In my own opinion, I see religion as a tool to control human conduct and character.

But some have been using it for selfish economic and political benefits.

I always insist that every religion has their fault which can be considered as wrong teachings.

Humanity supercede any so called religion.

Religion is an enslavement of the mind (You won't be able to think outside your religious teachings and beliefs). That is why a particular religion command its followers to kill anyone that refuse to accept and practice its own teachings and the believers accept such awful teaching (Because their mind had been enslaved to see nothing bad in it).

Though we appreciate the one we met ourselves in, making use of the teachings to shape our lives and people around us for good.

But sometimes, I imagine if there was no religion, people will do things they like which might actually be more dangerous for human existence.

But humanity supercede all. That was why Jesus Christ said "Do unto others, what you will also like them to do unto you".

I THINK "HUMANITY" SHOULD BE THE NAME OF THE NEXT RELIGION WE ARE CREATING NOW.

MJBOLT:

why dont you show us proof/facts that your god created those things

Hello to you too.

prekumohtim:
When a man has made up his mind on an issue, he doesn't need advice at all . What you are looking for here is to draw others along with you who you think have same mind with you. Yeah, you will definitely see people that have same mind with you. This is a clear indication that you have not received the Holy Sprit, so you are just confused and looking for those who as confused as you are.For sure, your types are many. One thing, you should understand is that even if the whole world should stop worshiping God, He's forever God. He can't be dethroned. You need to know Him with the Help of the Holy Spirit. He does not need to know you . The responsibility is yours. He had seen the birth and death of billions of men and women , yet He's still God and doesn't brag about his greatness. He had seen historians writting history upon histories, but He was there when everything started.
You're walking in confusion consistently and justifying it . I pray that the Lord will enlighten your spirit of understanding that you may know him for yourself. He has said He's the way the truth and the life , no man cometh unto the Father but by Him. God has exclaimed to the whole world, " This is my only begotten son, in whom I am well pleased. There's no salvation in any other name other than the name of Jesus whereby you must be saved". The acceptance of wrongs by billions of people does no make it right . It does not really matter how many people are in those religions. What matters is what God has said in respect to salvation. I feel so bad that you have never experienced Jesus for yourself. No wonder many walk in confusion about the scriptures, they study so much , yet no understanding. What a life !! You need the Holy Spirit

musicwriter:


The assumption that the bible is an authority on God is your No.1 problem. The bible is a European conceptualization of God but God itself has nothing to do with that.

Before you begin your journey to undersranding God, you must first shed yourself of the misconception of the bible or any other so called holy book as an authority on God. Believe it or not, you're already subconsciously doing so. And once you've completed the process, you'll eventually discover God on your own. You'll eventually realize that God is not and cannot be in any book or religion.

God has nothing to do with religion!!.

Good question @bolded. Uhmmmm.... Never mind. The Bible, that fairytale book says so, so it must be true.

damoobaba:


Miracles happen EVERYDAY and especially in Nigeria.They are RAW proofs of God's existence and that HE'S doing NEW THINGS all the time.

Now go check google, encarta, encyclopedia and any other source you can think of to back up your claims that God DOESN'T EXIST and He didn't create those things.

iRyan:

Do you have the holy spirit because what you wrote is a clear indication that you dont even know the god you claim to worship

samzyswagg:

The question now is why would God entrust a book that is meant to bring salvation not just to Christianity, but to mankind into the hands of feeble men who could misinterpret what the book was meant to convey, why wasn’t the book written in a universal language? Why the concentration on only a certain part of the world in the book?

We need to ask ourselves some salient questions, I don’t think a god who wants everyone to be saved and escape eternal damnation would not so much as give a hoot about the instrument of the salvation.

Malachi 3:6:“I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." And I'm sure he will repeat the feats of the so-called 'Old Testament' when the man goes overboard again.

Adam and Eve were not the first people on earth. Most bible scholars would tell you that the bible story is metaphorical.

At this point, I cant see why I should trust anything you say.
