I am on this forum today to give answers to those who need sincere answers about the issues of faith such as Christianity, Buddhism,Islam and atheism, my mission is to tell you the truth and the whole truth, ask your Questions.

What can a christian who claims he married the wrong wife do??

Christianity and Islam which 1 is the oldest

Thank you for opening your mind dear brother.

Firstly,I would like to ask that, why do think she is a wrong wife?

is she violent and insulting?
is she adulterous?
is she not capable domestically, may be she does not know how to cook?
is she avoiding her matrimonial duties such as sexual intercourse?

There maybe a lot of reason why you claim she is a wrong wife, but the truth is that as a Christian, divorce is never a option, you learn to understand and to cope, learn to communicate.

If a marriage as gone sour and you never enjoy any aspect of it again, then you need to consider the following options.

(1) Try to leave apart for sometimes, so that you both would not continue irritating each other, which may lead to violence or death.
(2) During the period of living apart, you should pray and try to reflect where the marriage had gone wrong, your wife would not start irritating you for no reason, try to find the reason and try to amend on your part.

(3) learn to be patient. Be matured in the way you react to your wife, be considerate, be sensitive, trying to understand her perspective and try to respect her opinions even though you won't accept them.

(4) call the attention of the pastors and church elders to it if any of the above point did not work.

But hear this brother:

DIVORCE IS NEVER ACCEPTED

You only need to cope, and you should also know that every woman likewise men are not perfect, understand that women are like fire that keeps you warm but in the process they emit irritating smoke, a woman come to her husband with two things, her beauty and her faults, enjoy her beauty and endure her faults, that is what makes a man a man.

please if you are not satisfied, or you still got something to say,don't hesitate to mention me.

bless you Sir.

Christianity and Islam which 1 is the oldest

Christianity began after the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the faith spread rapidly like wildfire when emperor Constantine of the western Roman empire became a Christian.

Islam as religion started with the acclaimed revelation to prophet Muhammad, in which he received the word of Allah ( Al Qur'an).
This was 700 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

so to answer you question.

Christianity is the older religion

Then he is not been honest, tell him to prove it.

Maybe your lecturer is a Muslim, so he is been sentimental, after all , accepting Christianity as a older religion to him may be like accepting Christianity as the authentic religion.

In order for you to be convinced and not confused, go do your own research, then subject your data to logic and discover the Truth.

Thank you Sir.

Actually, He is a Catholic, and He is very learned. But am jox confused now

Polynek:

my advice to you is to go do your research,
but if you can't, you can comprehend this logic.

Jesus in his lifetime never made mention of Muhammad, nor did he mentioned Islam, why? because there was nothing like Islam,there was only Judaism. If Islam had been around, then he would have condemned Islam too just as he had condemned Judaism, take this instance, when the adulterer was brought to Jesus for judgement, they had the permission and the right to stone her according to the law of Moses,but Jesus condemned the act and set the woman free, the same thing is applicable with Islam so Jesus would have mention Islam in condemnation, but he never did, because he doesn't know it and he had never heard of it.

Take a look at Muhammad, he mentioned Jesus several times in The Qur'an, in fact he tries to make people believe that Jesus had prophecy about him( Muhammad), the point is that Muhammad would not have known Jesus if he Muhammad had come first, but the fact that he knows Jesus but Jesus doesn't know him proves that Jesus came before Muhammad, there fore Christianity came before Islam.

Just the way you may have heard about your great grandfather but your great grandfather has never heard of you.

I hope the logic helped Sir.

You really make sense. But do you know that, there are some chapters in the Quaran that mentioned Ishmael, Abraham, Moses etc. Wat is ur take about dix

Polynek:

indeed, that is true, and that was because, Muhammad had came across the Christian Bible and the Jewish Torah, remember, Muhammad was a caravan trader who had many times traveled across mecca to Palestine and other places, most especially Christian territories( because then Roman empire was the dominant Christian empire) Muhammad has met with some Christians monks, through whom the knowledge of the gospel had been passed through to him, this was actually what led to his reflection at the cave of Hira where he encountered the angel Gabriel, according to the Qur'an.

But the fact is that he had interacted with some Christians, whom had shared with him the gospel of Jesus Christ.

What would it take to convince atheists that God exist?

Temijim:
What would it take to convince atheists that God exist?

There are three types of atheist:

(1) The Radical or logic driven atheist.

(2) The Emotional or vengeful atheist.

(3) The pretender atheist.

This three categories are convinced with a different approach, but one thing is common in all the approach, which is faith.

Radical or logic driven atheist are usually people, who had sound education and professorship, that creates for them an impression of a total or partial awareness of their environment.
They believe so much in their ideas and their reasoning sense, to them anything that their senses can not detect is a lie, a theory, a fable. Not only do they not believe in God, but also in the unseen world, the supernatural.

This category of atheist are the most difficult atheist to convince, because they are learned, but nevertheless less they could be convinced. So how do you convince radical atheist?

ANSWER

The surest way of convincing them is not by debate or argument, but by a personal encounter with the supernatural. Radical atheist are like Saul the apostle in the Bible, a man who knows a lot and knows enough, he can never be transformed by the powerful preaching of peter, but by the personal divine encounter he had with Jesus himself.

Radical atheist are convinced when they have a personal encounter with the divine.

Am coming back to talk about the other category of atheist, stay tuned please.

A lecturer saying Islam is older than Christianity? Pls review every other thing he has taught you. You may have been learning the wrong thing.

Polynek:

Judaism came way before Mohammed. So you'd expect a later book to talk about people who already existed before it.

ok

The emotional and vengeful atheist.

These categories of atheist are soft atheist, that is, they are not core atheist, there is these part of their heart that believe that there is God, but they try to lock that part, they try to force themselves to believe that there is no God, they try to stop themselves from believing that there is God.

Why do these people try to discard the reality of the existence of God?

Here is a story of a twins, they grew together as infants, as boys, as teenagers and as adult, but unfortunately,Taiwo became fatally ill, he was hospitalized for Six months, during those six months,Kehinde was visiting house of prayers, always praying and begging God to heal his twin brother.
Unfortunately, on the sixth month Taiwo left these world, he died. It was a terrible period for Kehinde, he was extremely depressed and angry at God, that despite all his prayers, God still took his brother.

Then, Kehinde in an attempt to spite God, to settle score with God, he denies the existence of God and of his power, not only did he did this, but he also took time to study the Bible and all other religious materials just to look for weaknesses of God and how he could argue against him.

The fact is that, Kehinde knew there is God, but because of what seems like a negligent from God who abandoned his brother to die, he was vengeful and force himself to deny his existence, so that no one would glorify him.

But as Kehinde moved on with life, he met Sarah during his NYSC service, it was Sarah, who enlightened him and told him that God is no author of evil, but he gives men choices to make, The death of Taiwo has a reason, which only God who sees the future knows, his death may had been a means of avoiding a greater evil, that may cause him his life and the life of his parents, but God had prevented this.

To be continued...

sorry I don't understand your Question, can you please come simpler.

To cut the long story short, Kehinde later accept God as God, but the point is that, he was a vengeful atheist, somebody that is attempt to spite God by denying his existence.

Vengeful atheist can be convinced with explanations not debate.

PRETENDER ATHEIST

The are People who denies the existence of God for occult and satanic reasons. They knew that God existed, they knew he is alive, they feel his glory, but they pretend as if he doesn't exists for devilish reasons.
This category of Atheist are rarely or can never been convinced to accept the existence of God, because they already know God, in fact more than theists, but their satanic agendas and plans make them pretend and preach that he doesn't exist.

Is God a man or a woman ?

Please anyone know where one can get this in Onitsha, or asaba

osarog:
Is God a man or a woman ?

God is without a sex, why?

Because he doesn't need it, he doesn't need a pen1s nor a vagina. He is a being that is not subject to a form or sex.
God actually made a man and a woman in order to multiply on earth, thus he gave them the equipments of multiplication.

Take these analogy, God is like a phone manufacturing company ( may God forgive me if I err by these example) a man is like the phone, while the woman is like a charger.

The phone company made the charger for the phone,to charge it and sustain it, but the phone company itself is not a phone nor a charger, but greater than the phone and charger.

Was my explanation clear please?

Hmmmm, so "he" is not a man ?

osarog:


Hmmmm, so "he" is not a man ?

The pronoun " he" is used to describe masculinity. Masculinity is a term that is associated with the stronger and dominant sex, while the Pronoun " she" depicts the more weaker and submissive sex, since it would be wrong to refer to God as weak and submissive we use the pronoun " he" which represent strength and dominance, rather than " she" which represent submission.

Although the pronoun " he " doesn't not perfectly connote God, but since their is no more pronoun in the English vocabulary that could God, which use the alternative of " he" but he is not actually a " he" but something more than "he" that we have no word for.

There is nothing like marrying the wrong wife in Christianity.

Polynek:

Isn't the answer to this more than obvious?

Temijim:

Jesus Christ sent you out to preach the Gospel of His Kingdom, not to convince atheists that God exists. If you who claim to believe in Jesus Christ do not walk in obedience to Him, are you any better or different from those whom you are trying to convince in your disobedience since it is clear you are also not convinced of God's decree that you obey Him?

Jesus Christ taught His followers of resurrection, not a reincarnation.
