@Obadiah777, you keep talking about psalm 78:2 where it is written that God's teachings would be in parables and would be hidden. What you fail to realise is that even this a literal statement that has already been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Psalm 78:2 does not in any way mean that all or some of the books in the bible (or the miraculous stories) would be allegories. Matthew 13:34-35 |

^^^ My point is, psalm 78:2 has already been fulfilled by Jesus. It does not mean that the whole or some parts of the bible would be allegories. |

PSALM 78 VS 2 IS NOT A PROPHESY THAT HAS TO BE FULFILLED. IT IS THE WAY THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN |

^^^^^ Matthew 13:34-35 King James Version (KJV) 34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. |

Todaynatoday: ^^^^^YOU DO KNOW YOU ARE PROVING MY POINT WITH THOSE VERSES RIGHT ? THOSE VERSES SAY THE LORD SPEAKS TO THE PEOPLE IN PARABLES SO THAT ONLY THE ELECT CAN UNDERSTAND. OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART COMES FORTH WORDS. THE WORDS OF THE LORD IS HIS HOLY SPIRIT. THE WORDS IN THE BIBLE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST UTTERED IN PARABLES. YOU KEEP PROVING MY POINT |

YOU KEEP PROVING MY POINTYou should know that i'm not all that versed in scriptures. I'm what you call a spiritual babe since I just started this journey with God and I'm still growing. I take most things in the Bible literally since I understand it better that way. Don't know if i proved your point cos my point was that Jesus was the only person recorded in the bible teaching in parables but you are saying that the whole bible (or most of it) is filled with parables. Take for instance, your stance on the story of Daniel in the lion's den, the finger on the wall, the turning of water into wine and a host of others. You take them all as having hidden meaning(s) because of psalm 78:2 and my point is that psalm 78:2 was referring to Jesus teachings. |

AS SUCH THE WHOLE BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN PARABLES 2 PETER 1 VS 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. <<<< GOD NOT JESUS. SO THE LORD AND CHRIST USED PARABLES SO THAT ONLY THOSE WHO SEEK WILL FIND. PSALMS 68 VS 11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. <<< GOD GAVE THE WORD 2 TIMOTHY 3 VS 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: SO AS YOU CAN SEE, PSALMS 78 VS 2 IS REFERING TO GOD NOT CHRIST, AND GOD DID IT SO THE WHOLE BIBLE IS PARABOLIC. |

mazaje:scientific discoveries are made using principles that are certain not with estimate. Engeering student are not taught statistic and probability because you can not produce any thing by estimating. Carbon dating is not a exact science like evolution, that is why any scientist who want to know anything for sure will not refer to CD. |

I think this Obadiah guy is a deciever in disguise..when he tried to refute the Lord Jesus miracle of literaly turning water into wine as symbolic?....he will soon say the rest of the miracles performed by christ were just symbolic phrases/writings/words or whatever and were never literal miracles as was written..decievers I tell ya.. |

AND DID YOU BOTHER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE MEANING OF THAT WORD 'MIRACLE' IS ? YOU THINK MIRACLE = MAGIC ? . MIRACLE MEANS miracle (ˈmɪrək ə l) — n 2. any amazing or wonderful event 3. a person or thing that is a marvellous example of something: the bridge was a miracle of engineering MIRACLE MEANS SOMETHING 'AMAZING'. SEE I KNOW THAT WORDS HAVE DIFFERENT MEANING TO NIGERIANS DUE TO INDOCTRINATION FROM YOUTH. AND I DONT BLAME YOU. I WAS ONE OF THOSE WHO THOUGHT MIRACLE = MAGIC. HOWEVER IT JUST MEANS 'AMAZING'. IT IS AN AMAZING THING TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT NATIONS ( WATERS ) WHO ARE HEATHENS AND THEN TO PREACH THE WORD ( WINE ) TO THEM AND THERE IS A REVIVAL OF IMMENSE PROPORTION. THAT IS AMAZING HOW HE TURNED ALL THAT WATER INTO WINE. ITS ALSO HOW YOU THINK THE WORD 'VIRGIN' MEANS SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HAD INTERCOURSE, HOWEVER IT MEANS AN 'UNWED' WOMAN. SEE YOU NEED A BOOK OF BIBLICAL WORD LINGO. SO ALSO MOUNTAIN = COUNTRY SUN = WISDOM MOON = UNDERSTANDING ETC ETC ETC. THESE ARE HIDDEN WORDS OF OLD. TODAY SOME OF THOSE WORDS HAVE NEW MEANINGS AND THE LORD FORESAW THIS. THIS IS WHY HE SAYS I WILL UTTER HIDDEN WORDS OF OLD PSALMS 78 VS 2 I will utter hidden things, things from of old <<<< OF OLD. |

If u should do a little research u wld discover that the world population hit one billion in the mid 19th century, and is xpected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Within about 150 years the world's population increase by 5 billion. Why would it be difficult to believe it would have increased from 8 to 1 billion in over 4000 years? |

obadiah777: THERE IS SUCH A THING CALLED 'DICHOTOMY'. LIKE HOW A WORD CAN HAVE TWO MEANINGS. NOW YOU ARE JUST BEING A SCOFFERIn this case, you are just putting up the 'dichotomy' as you wish. The scriptures are not by private interpretation. Jesus Christ made reference to the man Noah and the flood as literal events and beings. |

YOU DO ERR NOT KNOWING SCRIPTURES LOLZJacob and Esau were men according to the Bible. they were twins with parents(Isaac and Rebecca). They had uncles and nieces, they had jobs and they worked.

And did you know that the world's population was 1 billion in by 1804, 1,7 billion by 1900, and 7 billion by 2011? See how the population changed over 100-year intervals? |

@ obadiah777,i'm kinda impressed with the way u have broken down All ur points along with the other guys.I guess u guys are all correct but just on different page.But obadiah777,has done his homework while the others just read the bible as a story book.the problem with nigerians is they simply pay attention2 themselevs@ thier present state of mind and simply 4get 2 search their own family tree for the +ve or -ve aspect and values of their inheritance.So how do u expect them 2 go as far as studying the bible from the original source in which it was written.Afterall,this same blble was brought 2 us interpreted from the original version.So why the fuss.the other guys should simply go and get the original version and read,becos if the same bilble is written in Hausa,igbo or yoruba,some words would aslo sound different 4 different readers reading the bible in d same language. 1 Like |
