asuustrike2009:Thank you.

asuustrike2009:Let's not argue over this. I can't coerce you to stop believing what you've been indoctrinated to believe. But if you would be sincere, you'll realise that Jesus is not who you should worship, but the God who created Jesus himself. |
asuustrike2009:That God. Only you Christians worship Jesus. Every other person worship God. |
asuustrike2009:You should have quoted from verse 7 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because: 1. Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies. 2. Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah. 3. Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations (sic). 4. Jewish belief is based on national revelation. (1) Jesus Did Not Fulfill the Messianic Prophecies: What is the Messiah supposed to accomplish?Specifically, the Bible says he will: a) Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28). b) Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6). c) Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4) d) Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world – on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9). If an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, then he cannot be the Messiah. Because no one has ever fulfilled the Bible's description of this future King, Jews still await the coming of the Messiah. Christians counter that Jesus will fulfill these in the Second Coming. Jewish sources show that the Messiah will fulfill the prophecies outright; in the Bible no concept of a second coming exists. (2) Jesus Did Not Embody the Personal Qualifications of Messiah: A. Messiah as Prophet: The Messiah will become the greatest prophet in history, second only to Moses. (Targum – Isaiah 11:2; Maimonides – Teshuva 9:2). Prophecy can only exist in Israel when the land is inhabited by a majority of world Jewry, a situation which has not existed since 300 BCE. During the time of Ezra, when the majority of Jews remained in Babylon, prophecy ended upon the death of the last prophets – Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. B. Descendant of David: The Messiah must be descended on his father's side from King David (see Genesis 49:10, Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5, 33:17; Ezekiel 34:23-24). According to the Christian claim that Jesus was the product of a virgin birth, he had no father – and thus could not have possibly fulfilled the messianic requirement of being descended on his father's side from King David. According to Jewish sources, the Messiah will be born of human parents and possess normal physical attributes like other people. He will not be a demi-god, nor will he possess supernatural qualities. C. Torah Observance: The Messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance. The Torah states that all mitzvot remain binding forever, and anyone coming to change the Torah is immediately identified as a false prophet. (Deut. 13:1-4) Throughout the Christian "New Testament," Jesus contradicts the Torah and states that its commandments are no longer applicable. For example, John 9:14 records that Jesus made a paste in violation of Shabbat, which caused the Pharisees to say (verse 16), "He does not observe Shabbat!" (3) Mistranslated Verses "Referring" to Jesus: Biblical verses can only be understood by studying the original Hebrew text – which reveals many discrepancies in the Christian translation. A. Virgin Birth: The Christian idea of a virgin birth is derived from the verse in Isaiah 7:14 describing an "alma" as giving birth. The word "alma" has always meant a young woman, but Christian theologians came centuries later and translated it as "virgin." This accords Jesus' birth with the first century pagan idea of mortals being impregnated by gods. B. Suffering Servant: Christianity claims that Isaiah chapter 53 refers to Jesus, as the "suffering servant." In actuality, Isaiah 53 directly follows the theme of chapter 52, describing the exile and redemption of the Jewish people. The prophecies are written in the singular form because the Jews ("Israel" are regarded as one unit. Throughout Jewish scripture, Israel is repeatedly called, in the singular, the "Servant of God" (see Isaiah 43: . In fact, Isaiah states no less than 11 times in the chapters prior to 53 that the Servant of God is Israel.When read correctly, Isaiah 53 clearly [and ironically] refers to the Jewish people being "bruised, crushed and as sheep brought to slaughter" at the hands of the nations of the world. These descriptions are used throughout Jewish scripture to graphically describe the suffering of the Jewish people (see Psalm 44). Isaiah 53 concludes that when the Jewish people are redeemed, the nations will recognize and accept responsibility for the inordinate suffering and death of the Jews. (4) Jewish Belief is Based Solely on National Revelation: Throughout history, thousands of religions have been started by individuals, attempting to convince people that he or she is God's true prophet. But personal revelation is an extremely weak basis for a religion because one can never know if it is indeed true. Since others did not hear God speak to this person, they have to take his word for it. Even if the individual claiming personal revelation performs miracles, they do not prove he is a genuine prophet. All the miracles show – assuming they are genuine – is that he has certain powers. It has nothing to do with his claim of prophecy. Judaism, unique among all of the world's major religions, does not rely on "claims of miracles" as the basis for its religion. In fact, the Bible says that God sometimes grants the power of "miracles" to charlatans, in order to test Jewish loyalty to the Torah (Deut. 13:4). Of the thousands of religions in human history, only Judaism bases its belief on national revelation – i.e. God speaking to the entire nation. If God is going to start a religion, it makes sense He'll tell everyone, not just one person. Maimonides states (Foundations of Torah, ch. :The Jews did not believe in Moses, our teacher, because of the miracles he performed. Whenever anyone's belief is based on seeing miracles, he has lingering doubts, because it is possible the miracles were performed through magic or sorcery. All of the miracles performed by Moses in the desert were because they were necessary, and not as proof of his prophecy. What then was the basis of [Jewish] belief? The Revelation at Mount Sinai, which we saw with our own eyes and heard with our own ears, not dependent on the testimony of others... as it says, "Face to face, God spoke with you..." The Torah also states: "God did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us – who are all here alive today." (Deut. 5:3) Judaism is not miracles. It is the personal eyewitness experience of every man, woman and child, standing at Mount Sinai 3,300 years ago. http://www.aish.com/jw/s/48892792.html

asuustrike2009:Why you shouldn't idolize Jesus and worship the true Jehova (God); 1. Matthew 24:36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the Son, but the Father only. (If you'll agree that Jesus is the son and he does not even know when the Judgement day will be, but his father know, why not abandon the son and worship the father). You may want to create a case that ONE can't get to his father except through him. This will imply you are accepting that Jesus is below God. Why should you still call Jesus God ? 2. Matthew 26:39 My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me, yet not as I will, but as Thou will. (As you ca see here, Jesus submitted his will to the will of God. It's NOT the will of Jesus that matters, it's the will of God). If you are making a case that the Jesus and God are one, who was Jesus praying to here? 3. John 5:26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so he has [b]granted[/b] the Son to have life in himself. (God granted Jesus life, just as he granted us too. What makes him equal to God?) 4. John 5:30 By myself, I can do nothing: I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who has sent me. (this shows Jesus to be a messenger, sent by the one and only true God. God could have sent God message. If your believe is contrary to this fact, then Christianity and other Traditional religions are polytheist. Not better than an idol worshiper). 5. Mark 10:18 Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone. (Even Jesus is not perfect, based on the contextual meaning of this verse. If you want to take it literally, Jesus is as bad as we all are{I'm sure we both won't agree that he is bad}) 6. Matthew 27:46 My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? (He was asking God, not himself i believe. He couldn't have forsaken himself). 7. Hebrews 5:7-9 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. (this verse shows that Jesus had to walk a course of faith and obedience in order to achieve perfection. By achieving perfection, Jesus “became” the source of eternal salvation). 8. Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being. (Jesus is the exact representation of his being. I send my representative to Congress. He is not me, myself. He is my representative). cc: enilove |

You will eventually be needing your NYSC certificate later in the future. Try explaining your situation to your L.I. Even if you have to part with your full monthly Allowee, Please do. If that fails, try explaining to your boss at work. If both the L.I and your boss don't reason with you, just face your ONE YEAR service and apply elsewhere. #No_one_comments_after_me |

I don't know. I paid same amount to the bus conductor as usual. According to those of us who have deferred our CAR POSSESSION to the future (because we r taking Danfo doesn't mean we can't buy car o. We r only trying not to show off ni), the current price of pms has not changed. It's still #145/ltr.

Godknows Igali is not lying. Probably, he was not clear in his explanation. In this present dispensation, cows have equal value as much as humans. Look at the portrayed sitting room and tell me it will take ten big cows.
