Miracle! Faith!


But nobody saw it happen,

God never said it was going to happen,

The Messiah he promised is from the line of David.
Meaning he will have a father and mother. Genealogy is only transferred from father to son.
He will be a king

He will usher in a peaceful era.

He will build the 3rd temple.

He will lead people to God by keeping the laws.


All the people on earth will come to the knowledge of one true God, not necessary to Judaism..

Where did you get these from your Igbo imenani or what did you call it?

You didn't see the prophecy bout his virgin birth?

I don't know which god you believe in. But the God of Jesus is the one true God. Not the demons Igbo traditional religionist worship or any other false religion.

The prayer life of Jesus was meant to serve as an example for Christians to follow:

https://images./7ciEpLEjhQKnOAqXRlNJVs.jpg

Jesus Himself was worshipped several times throughout His earthly ministry and He never refused worship which is what He would have done if it were forbidden to Him:

https://images./6F65oRaKPcBFMSzg31dhdl.jpg

https://images./Cr7aiVbwcb5LqOHIYcWpQ.jpg


Jesus forgot to clearly call himself God (Yahweh) all those "Lord" people used for him were used for others too in the New Testament.

I have said, ‘You are gods (Elohim); you are all sons of the Most High.’ Psalm 82:6

How many people are "Elohim" from Psalm 82:6 above?

When people thought Jesus called himself God and he was about to be stoned Jesus had to quote Psalm 82:6 to clear himself:
“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God (Theon).” Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods'(Theoi) ? If he called them gods (Theou) to whom the word (logos) of God (Theou) came—and the Scripture cannot be broken then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God (Theou)?

I think from the above it clear that Jesus is not God!

Yoruba worships Eledumare,

They have a lot of "sons of god" called orishas which the Bible also speaks of in the book of job.
They go through these orishas to get to God, which God forbids....do not have any other God before me.

The Indians have brahma, with different "sons of God " too...

So you understand now? Or should I draw you a picture?

According to the jews, is that not what we are discussing.

The Jewish Torah is almost the same sa the igbo omenani. The only difference is the nomenclature and who is telling the stories....

Jesus is a Roman/ Greek creation...has got nothing to do with the creator of heaven and earth...

No virgin birth, Isaiah was talking about his young wife who happens to be the prophetess...

Your very dumb cheesy
Why did you say worshipping Jesus the son of God is idolatry whereas you just explained yourself that eledumare is the God yoruba worship and he have sons too that the same yorubas worship.

Among all these different Gods available in different tribes of the world, i chose the one that proclaim that He's the only true GOD and he showed miraculous signs to his people.
He also said worshipping any other god besides him is idolatry. The living God is the One i chose to worship and obey his commandments.
You have any problem with that?

The Hebrew word Elohim which is used in Psalm 82: 6 is not understood by Christians to mean God in the the divine sense because Elohim has other secondary meanings, depending on the context in which it is used. For example, the word Elohim is translated as “judges” in Exodus 21:6 and 22:8, 9, and 28.

Psalm 82:1 says:

“God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the gods.”

It is clear from the next three verses that the word “gods” refers to magistrates, judges, and other people who hold positions of authority and rule:

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.


Verses 6 and 7 of Psalm 82, warn human magistrates that they, too, must be judged:

“I said, `You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.' But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler.”

This passage is saying that God has appointed men to positions of authority in which they are considered as gods among the people. They are to remember that, even though they are representing God in this world, they are mortal and must eventually give an account to God for how they used that authority.

Now, let us look at what it means when Jesus references Psalm 82:6 in John 10: 25 to 30.

1. The context of the scripture is that Jesus had just claimed to be the Son of God (John 10:25-30).

2. The unbelieving Jews respond to this claim by charging Jesus with blasphemy, since He claimed to be God (verse 33).

3. Jesus then quoted Psalm 82:6, reminding the Jews that the Law refers to mere men—albeit men of authority and prestige—as “gods.”


The point Jesus was making is essentially this:

Why do you charge me with blasphemy based on my use of the title “Son of God”; when your own Scriptures apply the same term to magistrates and judges in general?

In other words, Jesus was asking a rhetorical question: "if those who hold a divinely appointed office can be considered as “gods,” how much more can the One whom God has chosen and sent?" (verses 34-36)?

In any event, you have failed to answer my basic question: WHY DID JESUS ACCEPT WORSHIP FROM MORTALS IF HE WAS NOT GOD?

You are right to this point

2. The unbelieving Jews respond to this claim by charging Jesus with blasphemy, since He claimed to be God (verse 33).
They thought he was calling himself God. But where did Jesus call himself God?

3. Jesus then quoted Psalm 82:6, reminding the Jews that the Law refers to mere men—albeit men of authority and prestige—as “gods.”

The point Jesus was making is essentially this:

Why do you charge me with blasphemy based on my use of the title “Son of God”; when your own Scriptures apply the same term to magistrates and judges in general?

You are mixing things up. Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods'(Theoi) ? If he called them gods (Theou) to whom the word (logos) of God (Theou) came..." This means those whom the scriptures were revealed were called Elohim too so why can't he be called son of God (not God). He was claiming son of God not God.

In any event, you have failed to answer my basic question: WHY DID JESUS ACCEPT WORSHIP FROM MORTALS IF HE WAS NOT GOD?
Worship is the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.

To answer you, show me where Jesus was worshipped, how he was worshipped and who worshipped Yahweh as such?
