Religion/Spirituality Christians come explain this

[levitate]

What about the thousands that survive car accidents everyday? We'll just ignore them too huh?
Can't have it both ways.

So God assures that some folks survive car crashes will others do not? Why?

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

God cannot be omnibenevolent, omniscient and omnipotent all at the same time. If that were true, God is a psychopath.

 

[IVS]

God will not force anyone into Heaven against their will.

You mean the sky! or are you talking about the paradise on earth you are supposed to be expecting? Because heaven simply means the sky.

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Why the Christian God and not Vishnu, Odin or Apollo? Why not Shango or Chukwu?

 

[Black Cobain]

I don't believe in spook gods but more often than not atheists bring insufferable holy rollers outta the woodwork with their smug comments.

@PeridotPuss thoughts?

(Gotta bring my bae into the conversation)

This one :

2 Corinthians 12:2-4 KJV I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. [3] And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) [4] How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

Millions have fled the region. Christianity in the Middle East (outside of Egypt and Lebanon) will be extinct in a few decades.

The irony is that the wars of the evangelical Christian George W Bush accelerated this process

You mistake numbers as power. Even if there is only one christian church left in the area, it is still a powerhouse. The Apostles of the New Testament converted cities on their own through the Holy Spirit. Look at Apostle Paul.

So God assures that some folks survive car crashes will others do not? Why?

You want to have it both ways. You cannot have life without death and you cannot have death without life. Many men will be saved from death this very hour, whereas many will take their last breath this hour. Tis the cycle of life, my friend. Even Gods most anointed Apostles suffered death at the hands of their enemies.

You confuse yourself because you lack deeper understanding of life through the eyes of a Christian. You cannot understand a life you don't live and you can't understand a God you don't serve. Therefore you seek your own foolish logic and that is where you fail.

We don't fear death as you do because we have already secured our salvation. Therefore, death for us, equals life in Heaven. Death becomes much easier to understand and accept when you are no longer fearful of it.

 

[Days of Future Piff]

My honest thoughts? There's strife in the world and craziness is going to happen to believers and nonbelievers alike. I don't believe that tragedies like car accidents happen because somebody necessarily deserves it any more or less than the other person. I just see it as a reminder that it's important to have a sense of urgency about salvation because you never know when your time is up.

Luke 13: 2-5: And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

So my sister is an atheist. And my aunt can't stand that shiit. I bring it up to her all the time just to see her get pissed and get a good laugh

But anyway my sister was recently in a bad accident. Her car was totaled and it looked like it was dropped from a 1000 story building. But lucky all she had was a fractured bone in her arm.

So my aunt of course saw this as an opportunity to "convert"

Aunt: "Now you can't tell me God doesn't exist. He saved you"

Sister: "No. I saved myself by swerving at the last minute."

Bruh my aunt just started crying


So Christians I ask you, how do y'all react when your "See, God does exist" moments don't work?

nothing worse than christian arrogance

by your aunt's line of "reason", the thousand other people who died in accidents that day, god just didnt give a fukk about? they werent worth his time?

 

[Saiyajin]

wow she made your aunt cry?

how hard is it to just play along to make your aunt happy tf?

 

[the cac mamba]

I don't believe in spook gods but more often than not atheists bring insufferable holy rollers outta the woodwork with their smug comments.

it doesnt get much smugger than how his aunt acted in this story

Lol demographics is destiny.

There are no Christian nations left in the Middle East. There are no powers (human or divine) to protect the remnants

 

[the cac mamba]

I don't see how it didn't work...? The sister just took credit for what your aunt attributed to God. Nothing was proved or disproved. Your aunt was probably crying for your sisters arrogance and soul she thinks is going to hell.

but why the arrogance to even think that his sister is 'special' enough to be saved by god, when the little kids who died in accidents that day werent?

 

[the cac mamba]

Christians are being wiped out from the Middle East and God hasn't lifted a finger.

inshallah
