shadeyinka:So jehova(who isn't a thing because he is not matter) became matter (jesus) and died to rescue his creations from sin? So is sin greater than the creator, that he had to sacrifice himself? Pls I am only asking for knowledge purposes not to fight... 2 Likes |

shadeyinka: The issue with this is that your demiurge has always been requiring blood sacrifices for the remission of sins. Now the question is this, why would an all powerful God require blood sacrifices of remission of sins? Did he create sin? Or is sin so above him that he had to take on a state of matter to sacrifice himself? Also when u say man was made of the "image" of God an invisible being cannot have an image or its image would be invisible, therefore anything that has an image was also made out of the image of something. |

shadeyinka: Yes...a big impossibility, God is not a magiacian. He has already set his laws in motion. Before a woman can become pregnant a fertile male sperm needs to be avaliable..and the woman needs to be ovulating...anything out side of this is impissible...even if the woman eats all the shawama in shoprite..she wont be pregnant.. Comprende, God is the creator and outside of creation. Not part if it..just like steve job cant be part of the iphone.. |

oluwaahmed:A reply to this got me a ban from nairalands spambots.
If Jehovah is made of matter, then it is logical that he must be subject to the laws of physics and chemistry. But, He is not made up of matter and this has constituted a problem for you. You seem not to comprehend what sin is! You seem to me to be a muslim or former muslim. Is this correct? Sin is the ultimate form of expression of disregard for the Authority of the Creator and His laws. The only penalty for SIN is DEATH (Disconnection/Separation from the Source of Life) through execution and ALL sinners irrespective of who they are or the "magnitude" of their sin must pay the ULTIMATE price. The full shedding of blood is a physical evidence that judgement has been served. Before the coming of Christ, God asked the Isrealites to sacrifice a goat (sin offering) as a temporal emblem that punishment for sin has been served (scapegoat). Since every human being is born with the Sin Nature (instinctive nature to commit sin), no human being can pay for the sin of another human being. The only sacrifice worthy is one who is truly perfect: God himself is the only perfect being. |

shadeyinka2: I think its more about knowing the truth than about religion. But if you must know I am gnostic Christian. I belive Jesus is the son of the true God (like we all are)who is different from the creator God. I couldn't have left Islam for contemporary christianity cos they are almost the same thing. Their God's are angry, require blood sacrifice, and jealous - hence their numerous wars (you can find records of this in the book of the wars of Yahweh) Back to topic... Sin is transgression of the law 1Jn 3 vs 4 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression Rom 4 vs15 Now since jehova delights in sacrificial blood spillage as a means of redemption, he doesn't seem so different from the gods of the other religions or our forefathers.

sonmvayina:Exactly what I was trying to say. By saying man was created out of the image of God, is limiting God to matter. Meaning he has a form. Now if they claim that God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, how then can be confined by matter to the point he has an image which can be replicated? God can only be those 3 qualities because he is the universal divine consciousness existing all around us not matter. 2 Likes 1 Share |

oluwaahmed:Can anyone really know the truth about God unless such hears of it directly or indirectly from God Himself? Islam doesn't know anything about blood sacrifice. The closest they have to sacrifice is when they celebrate Eid al-Adha where a Ram is sacrificed in acknowledgement of the obedience of Ibrahim in exchange for sacrificing his son. But they don't know why God requires a blood sacrifice at all. Its just an imitation of what was historically done. You protest that God cannot be jealous forgetting that we were created in his image. You protest that God cannot be angry forgetting that we were created in his image. Jealousy or Anger could be positive or negative depending on how it is used. LEt me ask you two basic questions: 1. You saw your Fiancee who you loved with a passion deeply kissing a former boyfriend: will you feel jealous? (don't forget she is a freewill to do as she wills, your love gives her freedom of expression) 2. Some teenage neighborhood boys beat up your beloved little sister mercilessly with wounds all over her body: will you be angry? Jesus was angry with those who were buying and selling in the temple at Jerusalem: was that an evil emotion? oluwaahmed:Your argument is like: Since fake money (dollar, pound,naira) exists, then the original is also a fake! Since you claim to be a gnostic christian, how about Revelation 13:8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation/foundations of the world. There is something really special and important with the blood, no wonder satan also desires it too |

shadeyinka: Are you using light as a metaphor here or is it some other kind of light only you and God are familiar with? shadeyinka: What do you mean light feed the physical universe energy? Is it some kind of scientific theorem or just your opinion? What do you mean God feeds all existence with energy? Is existence different from the universe? How? shadeyinka: How does God illuminate all existence? Is there a way to witness this illumination? shadeyinka: What does darkness of existence mean and how would we shadeyinka: shadeyinka: Life can and does exist without light and you have to sufficiently define and describe God before you can reasonably claim that it created life. A planet revolving around a black hole outside the event horizon could produce life without light. Given the vastness of the universe life could exist that is unlike anything we know. "All life requires energy. Humans and other animals get energy from what they eat. Plants don't eat; they make their own food. The same it true for the microbes that live around hydrothermal vents. Plants use energy from the sun to make sugars, through a process called photosynthesis. But, for hydrothermal vent communities at the bottom of the ocean, this is not an option. No sunlight reaches that depth. Instead microbes get their energy from different chemical in hydrothermal fluid, through a process called chemosynthesis. Hydrothermal fluid that comes out of vents contains hydrogen sulfide. Microbes that live around the vents take up hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, and carbon dioxide from the water. Then, the microbes get their energy when the break down the hydrogen sulfide. They use this energy and oxygen to convert carbon dioxide into sugars. At the end of this process, the microbes release sulfur into the water." shadeyinka: Okay, what kind of light is he? |

shadeyinka: oluwaahmed:@oluwaahmed, if you want something done right, what do you often do, hmm? Of course, you DIY, you do it yourself. You do thing yourself. Sin is not greater than the Creator, the Creator however so much loved the word that He, in the person of His only begotten Son, who happens to be God Incarnate, surrendered Himself up for sacrifice so that whoever that believes, to have salvation and be saved from eternal damnation Creation has and/or had to go through the process of rescue from sin and come to a time when there will be no more sin, no more sickness, no more misery, no more hardship, no more affliction, no more sorrows, tears, blood and sweats, no more death et cetera. The templates, meaning Adam and Eve became corrupted, hence another template is needed to correct the inherited bugs, flaws, dents, kinks, errors, defects, damages, faults, failings, et cetera in the A&E template. |

MuttleyLaff: Sin is not greater than the Creator, the Creator however so much loved the word that He, in the person of His only begotten Son, who happens to be God Incarnate, surrendered Himself up for sacrifice so that whoever that believes, to have salvation and be saved from eternal damnation This is the difference between gnosticism and christianity. We believe that although Jesus came from the eternal father (who is dft from the creator God of the.universe) he's death is not a means to salvation but his life. He's life because while on earth, he thought hes desciples and followers how to transcend(ressurect) after death which he did as evidence to them and why he appeared after his resurrection and stayed 550 days with them(lol, this part was also removed from your bible because in those 550 days he rethought his desciples the deep spiritual meaning of all his sayings and parables and what happens after death and how their spirit can overcome death to transcend to the light of the eternal father- he broke down the process for them (mad o))This is the gnosis (knowledge) that Jesus brought with him from the barbelo and its this knowledge that is the key to the salvation of mankind, because the eternal father is all knowing and does not require blood sacrifice for anything. Its a pity that gospels and scriptures which were initially part of the bible were removed after the nicene creed and first century Christian sects were hunted and killed as heretics by the Catholic Church, just as Jesus was killed by the jewish authority of his time for impacting a different type of theology (e.g working & healing during the sabbath) |
