If God is so forgiving and loving why did He feel it necessary to create Hell?

God is very loving, forgiving and just.  Hell was not created for mankind but for satan and the fallen angels who are in league with satan.  Many things were made good by God but it was mankinds choice that brought in sin.  God did not make us robots and we all must make a choice to follow God or stay with devil.  God says we choose life or death and urges us to choose life.  But, which ever one we choose, God will honor.   

P.S.  God knows our heart...innocent children belong to God

Why is it so had for see people who would  court without sex? The society is so much defiled to the extent that a girl would not believe a guy when he says 'i want us to keep sex out of this relationship'. She would kind of say 'i dont think he really want me, thats why he is sayin this'.
      And if a lady says 'if you love me you would wait for the right time'. The guy would kind of 'I am afraid you would leave me'. God you've gat to help me!

Sex can wait but people won't allow it to wait.  Sex was made for married people only.

Is God wrong to have planted segxwal urge in human being?

God is never wrong. 

The segxwal urges are suppose to be awaken in marriage, as sex is for marriage people only.  But many refuse to adhere to this.  Thus, bringing inner battles that they must overcome and fight everyday.  Those who are true Christians can over come but renewing the mind with God's word is a must. 

It's a must because the world now says it's ok behave like an animal (when it's not ok)...anyone you see and think looks fine, give yourself to her/him; some even take it, forcing themselves upon the innocent and young.  Spiritual warfare is a war for ones mind.  Whatever thoughts that is planted and reaches the heart, the person WILL do (no matter what their mouth says).

We are suppose to have self-control but it starts in the mind.  When the devil whispers in ones ear constantly about every fine looking woman or man, know that the spirit of lust is controlling that person; and the spirit of lust is from the deveil.  When a thought comes, no matter how small or how many times, if it is against God's word..rebuke it in Jesus name...reject it in Jesus name.  When the devil sees he can not use this against you anylong, he will surely flee.

If one does not  have spiritual life, and is spiritually dead...satan can freely use the person and does.  Please accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, he is God's free gift of life to us.  He loves us all so very much.

Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?

We are living in a sinful world, as a result of sin and since we live in this world, things are going to happen...good and bad.  If one remembers that everything good comes from God and everything bad comes from the devil, one will not be deceived.  Also in the Bible, under the old testament there was judgement but in the new testament there is grace.  The way God dealt with mankind in the old testament, is not the way he deals with mankind in the testament. 

Because God loves us so much, he has given us authority to do certain things.  We are suppose to love our neighbor as ourself, don't steal, don't kill (not only physically but mentally or spiritually, etc.), do not cover another mans goods or try to possess their wife/husband and others.  When we are suppose to do something because we have been given the authority to do something to helps others and refuse to do it, we are the ones that allow some of the bad things that happen to good people. 

Evil triumphs...when good men/women do nothing

How can Jesus be the "Only Begotten Son" of John 3:16? When in Psalms 2:7 David is God's "Begotten Son?"
-It will be better to read all of Psalms chapter 2 for full and correct context.  Also, if you reference who is the only begotten son with other verses in the old testament, this will help as well.   

Would a 'Just' God, a 'Fair' God, a 'Loving' God -- punish Jesus for the sins of the people that he called to follow him?
-It is very true that God is loving, fair and just.  The wages of sin is death and for this to be fulfilled we humans would have to die. It is mankind who decided to turned over the keys of this earth to satan (not God) and those not with God is still under satan’s dominance.  Just as during the times when the children of Israel took the best to give to God for ceremonial cleansing, only the best in human form could be offered to God to pay the sin debt once and for all.  There is much more. 

What happens to people who died before Jesus came?
-Those who were God’s also looked to the cross.  When Jesus was on the cross, he told the thief after the thief confessed and accepted who Jesus was that…today you will be in paradise.  God is just, all of those who belongs to God is where they are suppose to be. 

What happens to those who never hear this message?
-The word of God says that before the end of this age, all will hear his true message.  As well, the earth testifies of God, the creator of heaven and earth.  The God’s words tells us that who God is and his true nature is in the heart of every man/woman.  Unfortunately, many deny it because they don’t want to be held accountable for their actions due to the darkness that they are in. 

What about innocent children who die although their parents are not Christian?
-The great I Am is a just God and he knows each of our hearts.  God does not like injustice or when the innocent are hurt…so, he could not be guilty of such.  The children will be with God.

Didn't God create Adam from dirt? -- So, why does he need Mary to make Jesus?
-Yes, God created Adam from dirt. God is decent and in order and the birth event was set in motion in the beginning as well.  God did not need Mary but Mary was chosen to be the vessel in which God used to bring forth Jesus.  There is much more to this answer. 

And what about God?
-What is it that you want to know about God?

How can God create Himself?
-God is not created but eternally exists.  Read Genesis 1 and you’ll see God as he is...father, son and spirit.  There is more to this also. 


How can God be a man?
-This is a spiritual question and the word of God says that if one is not in the spirit, one cannot understand spiritual things.  All of who God is we can’t just grasp with our limits.  An analogy was given to me but this is no where near who God is:  Water is water, even in its various forms of liquid, frozen or vapor state.

How can God have a son?
-The nature of triune God is spirit, if one does not have God’s spirit than one will not understand. 

The Bible says "Seth (is) the son of Adam" and that"Adam is the son of God." [Lk 3:36]
-Please do more research of this scripture and cross reference it with the old testament.  As well take into account what was common knowledge during their time, that we have to know of…not to mention the culture during this time. 

Can't God just forgive us and not have to kill Jesus?
-There are things God has put in place.  The wages of sin is death and that is God’s word.  God keeps his word, even this world is build on his word.  Since that is so, the wages for sin must be paid.  Jesus was offered as the perfect sacrifice for us so that we would not have to be eternally separated from God as a result of sin.  God loves us that much.  Though Jesus laid down his life for us, he rose from the death and lives.  He will be coming back very soon. 

And what about Jesus?
-What is your question about Jesus?  Jesus said that he came to do the will of Father God and that is what he did. 

Jesus did not even carry the cross --  Simon Cyre'ne, a passerby did! [Mk 15:21]
-Please what is your question?

Jesus of the Bible was NOT on the cross for longer than six (6) hours -- NOT three days -- (from the 3rd to the 9th hour) [Mk 15:25 & 15:33]
-The time and days that Jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead is in accordance with the Jewish culture.  Please do more research regarding this but from memory…when the sunset, this was the beginning of a new day in the Jewish culture.  The event recorded in the Bible is correct.

Jesus of the Bible did not spend three days and nights in the tomb -- Friday night - until Sunday before dawn -- is not 3 days and nights!
-See the answer above.

Jesus DID NOT claim to be God - or even equal to God!
-Please see…
 Luke 9:20-21
John 8:19
John 14:10
Luke 10:22

As Christians, we are ever ready to share the hope that is in us.  Heavenly father through Jesus Christ let all hear who can hear.

As Christians, we are not suppose to forsake assembly together, God's word says it.  We each have spiritual gifts that we are to use to help build up one another and shine bright for others who are still in darkness.  As well through testimonies, Christians draw encouragement, strength and so much more from one another.  Praises to the Great I Am! 

I heard someone say that standing in an auto garage does not make a person an automobile.  Going to church does not make a person a Christian either. 

It's is only accepting the free gift of life that Father God gives through Jesus Christ that makes one a Christians.
 
449  Forum / Religion / Re: A Question That No Christian Wants To Anser on: 12-04-2011 05:35 PM
What about the Bible? Who actually wrote it?
-The Bible is the inspired word of God.  Written by many different authors of God's choice.  The Bible told us the world was round, when scientist was saying it was flat and so much more.

What was the original language of the Bible? (Hebrew? Aramaic? Koine Greek?)
-The old testament was in Hebrew because was the language spoken at that time.  The new testament was written in Greek because it was the language at that time.

Does the Bible exist in the original form anywhere on earth?
-The Bible did not fall out of the sky complete.  God chose to work through humans.  So, as different incidents happened, they were recorded and preserved.  The Bible are many eyewitness accounts of the life and works of Jesus Christ, there are prophesies God gave to man about Jesus Christ before he walked the earth, during his time on earth and after, there are historitcal facts, scientific facts, moral facts, what we need to know to receive eternal life with God and so much more given to us in the Bible.  It was compiled by thousands manuscript copies.  The number of manuscript copies outweight the numbers of any other book we humans have, yet other books are considered as fact with less than 100 manuscript copies.  There is more on this point...so much more.

Why does the Catholic Bible has seven (7) more books than the Protestant Bible?
-Sorry,  many in the catholic religion say they are followers of Christ and some are but many follow Mary.  Mary had to ask for forgiveness also.  The Catholics Bible has been changed to fit their beliefs.  As well, one of the 10 the commandment which says do not worship graven images has been removed and one of the other commandments have been split, to make it 10 again.  Christianity is not a religion. 

Why do these two Bibles have different versions of the same books?
-Not sure what you mean?  Do you mean two different accounts of the same story?  If so, as in any account, everyone will be at a different point and see the same incident at a different point/angel it occured.  Like an auto accident, eye witnesses on the scene will see different things.  From all the accounts taken, the truth speaks volumes and is easily arrived at. If one says the car was dark and another says the car was black, they have said the same thing.  It is the same in the Bible, some towns have more than one name, some people are known by first and last name or father's name, etc. but it's saying the same thing.  There are no contradictions.  Usually background, historical and cultural study must be done to understand the whole account correctly. 

Why are there so many mistakes and errors are from the very first verse right up to the very last verse?
-Grammarical errors are not mistakes in content.  Which do you specifically refer to?

Why do 'Born Again Christians' teach concepts that are not from the Bible?
-Please specify, which concept?

There is no word "Trinity" in the Bible in any version of any language
-The actual word trinity is not in the Bible, but please can you translate the Hebrew word Elohim, which is in the Bible?

The oldest forms of Christianity do not support the 'born again' beliefs
-Please give an example?   In Genesis, God created man   mind/body/spirit.  When sin entered in, man spiritually died, leaving mind/body.  To become spiritually alive, one much accept life, which is in Jesus.  Thus, accepting Jesus as who he is, gives life and one becomes perfect again, as in complete with mind/body/spirit...born again.

Jesus of the English Bible complains about the 'crucifixion'
("Eli! Eli! Lama sabachthani? - My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?") [Mk 15:34]
-This is taken out of context...will address in a different post.  Some beliefs falsely teach Jesus was not crucified but this verse and history shows he was.

450  Forum / Religion / Do you believe that change can start with only one person? on: 12-04-2011 04:34 PM

Do you believe that change can start with only one person?

Well, if you answered yes, you are very correct.  There are many people all over the world professing with their mouth to be a Christian, which means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.  A closer look reveals that their heart and actions bare a different testimony.  It does not mean that true Christians are perfect people and won't make mistakes because they will.  It does mean that when they slip, fall and repent, that God's grace is there to help them back up every time without fail. 

Those that are false do not take away from what is real?  In the same way that if a hospital finds one of their doctors to be a fake, it does not automatically make all doctors fake.  The devil has those that allow him to use them everywhere, even in some churches.  The people in the church come from communities and families make up communities.  Lastly, each one of us is a member of a family.  The true God, the maker of heaven, earth and mankind places us in families because he loves us, for our protection and to grow up with godly instruction.  If a family refuses to honor their responsibility, then it is the innocent children that suffer most. 

Through the trials of life, hard times and hardships many cry out to God, asking him for help.  Some struggles in life are tougher than others.  Some places in the world, the fight to survive starts very young.  It is God, through Jesus Christ, who loves us and wants only the best for us.  Please, do not be tricked to believe otherwise.  One should always remember that what is good comes from God and what is bad comes from the devil, the enemy of our soul.  God word says that for those that love him, all things work together for good.  I attest with my life that this is true.  The devil will bring bad times, crisis, etc. to push us into a corner.  To think, say and act in ways that do not please God.  The devil wants to destroy, even kill the person emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.   If you know God and God knows you, than you know whatever does the above does not come from God but are attacks from the enemy.  The goal of the devil is to turn the person away from, even to have them never took to the very one that can help him or her, God, by influencing them to believe that these bad things are put on them or sent by God.  We live in a sinful world and just living here, things unplesant will come our way...but Jesus is there always.  We make bad decisions and choices and bring much pain to ourselves, some even try to blame God for their bad choices.  For those, who do not belong to God, please know that all of God's promises and protections you do not have.  But, you can, for the gift of life through Jesus Christ is free.

Many are like the ones in this story:

There is land that is divided by a large river.  To cross over to the other side, all one has to do is cross over the bridge.  A very huge and terrible storms comes and for sure safely, all are instructed to cross the bridge to the other side so they will be safe and surely live.  Many do cross the bridge for safety but many others refuse to.  Some say they want to or make excuses why they can not.  Others say they are waiting for God to help them but refuse to go where God tells them.  After the storm, all on the other side, who crossed the bridge are safe but there is much loss and death on the other side of those who did not cross the bridge.  The ones who did not cross the bridge, now start to blame God for their sorrows and pain.  They began spreading with their mouth how they waited on God, cried out to God, did everything God asked but God did not hear them.  They always leave out that they refused to listen to what God instructed them to do in order to be safe.  Is God really to blame?  No, it is not God.  God will not force us to choose him and will honor which ever decision we make but know that God loves us and only wants and does the best for us.

Will you accept God's free gift of life through Jesus Christ?

I witch every one can come together to put a stop to this. But it is inposble to straight a bending dry fish.

With their mouth these people say they know God but their actions show otherwise.  Using people the way that they are and deceiivng them...professing to be godly.  Now big shame!  But God is not mocked!

Thank you  Ms. Lovely09, for the honest truth. This is not just Edo women problem,
it is Nigerian women problem.
Again not all Nigerian prostitutes in Italy are from Edo. Majority are from Edo (Benin City).
The Ibos who wrote Benin on their document are not trying to be deceptive, those who
help them with their document wrote Benin because they were recruited in Benin, or were
living in Benin City.
About half of the people in Benin City are not Edo (Binis). You have Yoruba, Ibos, Ijaws,
Urhobos, Ishans, Afemai, Akoko-edo, Ika-Ibos and Itsekiris.

It might interest you to know that  majority of the Nigerian prostitutes (arrested and charged
with prostitution) in USA are Ibos according to police records from New York City and Los Angeles.
In reviewing the reports , I did not find any Edo names. They work as "call girls" and "Escorts".
Again, the problem is not Edo women problem but Nigerian women problem.
Nigerians collectively have to come up with solutions to end this problem.

In reading it seems a combination of things going on.  To start, if you have girls around you who behave as you said, they are not friends.  It would be best to put some distance between you and them fast.  You should be able to trust the guy your with not to cross the lines verbally/physically with your friends and if you can't trust him...how will a real relationship develope? But, you need to know one way or the other.  It is true that some guys have preference, as do us ladies.  So many women NEED to know that all guys are not going to like them...it's real life.  One fine girl may look not fine at all to another.  Whether some guys prefer light skinned or dark skinned girls or white or brown skinned girls....love who you are and the one for you will love you too no matter what girl is around.  Best wishes

If the story is true, then you already know you are in the wrong by continuing to sleep with him because the guy has now married your senior sister.  Though you visit them as much as you want, with the history you being with him 1st, you should have never agreed to ever sleep over (if you know you still had feelings for him) and should have kept a distance from him (not faking it).  Since you didn't do that and you say he forced himself on you...you should have told your sister immediately.  Of course, he would have most likely lied and switched the story but at least you did justice to your sister by telling her the truth.  So, you can and should just do it...tell your sister the truth and get yourself out of the devil's grip.  To protect yourself (if that's what you want) keep your distance away from the guy and be with him in the presence of his wife/your sister (if she believes you and forgives him) after you tell her the truth.

This is an attempt to give reasons why married men run to call girls or keep running to call girls...there are no reasons at all, appropriate, for a married man to run or keep running to a call girl.  What he wants he should get from his wife, and if the wife is not giving it to him the way he wants, he should tell her...show her, etc.  Even, husband and wife need to come up with their own style...not others, past, memories, etc.  They guy shouldn't just go get a call girl because one the marriage bed is dirty (entrance of one outside the marriage), the dirt remains.  As well as a whole lot of other unneeded or wanted issues.  I say, if a man just goes out and gets a call girl, then this is what he wanted to do in the very first place.  It was in him all along and only uses the wife to try and justify where his lust has taken him.  Then this one has nothing to do with the wife at all but it's about the man who has not learned at this age to be self-controlled.  He is being controlled by lust and perversion; and he doesn't even know it.

I don't know about man or woman enough but it sounds as if something is going on.  It could be confusion or not.  It could be that they are not really sure about the relationship, or they could be a selfish person or it could be that they are trying to be deceitful by stringing more that one person along?  Only possibilities.  It's unfortunate that many people have seemed to bought into using people for their own entertainment.  I hope the truth surfaces and that you take it as it is.
