alBHAGDADI:
In the book of Revelations, all versions mentioned Jesus saying He is the Morning Star.

How come in Isaiah 14:12, which speaks of Satan being cast out of heaven, instead of using his name Lucifer, they put Morning Star there?

Doesn't that mean that they are saying it is Jesus that was cast out of heaven?

If you translate Lucifer to English what does it mean?

Pls why are we enjoined to work out our salvation with fear and trembling? P ls I need an explanation on this.

Those are not theories sir..

The original scriptures that make make up the old and New Testaments of the Bible we read today were not written in English language but in Hebrew for the Old Testament and Greek for the New Testament.

Some words in the Greek could have different meanings and then requires different applications in different contexts. Since most of the early translators were not Christians but just translators, they put the meaning that made best made sense to them sometimes out of context (eg, the passage about baptising in the name the Father, son and Holy spirit that Muttleylaff explained earlier).

The Greek word "kai" is an example of those words.

"Kai" is a conjunction joining two words, phrases or clauses together.
"Kai" could mean; "and," "then," "even", "but", "that is" etc..
Application of each of those meaning of "kai" requires different approaches (4 of which I mentioned and which you termed "my theories".
Some translators interpreted or translated "kai" wrongly (either out of ignorance or in some cases to deliberately distort it's meaning.)

In my first "theory", "Kai" is translated as and as in, James and John etc.

In the second one "kai" is translated to mean "then". as in, "follow me, then I'll make you fishers of men". "and" can be used cos it won't change the meaning of the words.

In the 3rd and fourth, "kai" is correctly translated to mean "that is". As in "... some, pastor, that is, teachers (Eph 4:11). And in 1 Thess. 1:12, "the grace of our God, that is, the Lord Jesus Christ"..

Rev 5:13 also is rightly translated as, “..To him who sits on the throne, that is, the Lamb...."

I don't speak Greek or Hebrew. But I made my research to ascertain all these. I suggest you do the same.. Proper Bible interpretation can only be know if what you're reading in the Bible is correctly translated in the first place.

They are not theories,sir? Which means Jesus and Yahweh are the same. Please sir I would like you to answer these questions:
Does Jesus have a God?
Does Yahweh have a God?
I would like your views on the 2 questions.
Shalom.

Jesus did not say he is Yahweh the father, easy with the false accusation of Jesus Oga!
You are not different from the Jews who misunderstood him.

Just before that very John 10:30 you quoted
Jesus said in John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.



May be this verse will make you understand what he meant by 'one' with the father.

John 17:21-23
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one ; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

I believe these verses are not in anyway saying that Jesus disciples and his followers are the same as the person of Yahweh?



It is clear that the Jews misunderstood Jesus which was the reason for them to want to stone Him. He only said he is the Son of God the father, and you should notice him use the word 'father' in replying them. The Jews don't believe in God to beget, it's like a heresy to them. It's new and strange to them. So for someone to be Son of God to them meant the person claimed to be God.



Your misconception is still the same through out.

Is Jesus God? Yes
Is Jesus God the father? No
Does Jesus have a God above him? Yes

Yahweh the father is all in all, Greater than all and God to all. There is none like him.

. God bless u.

Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ. There is something that has been bothering me on ''modern day christianity''. In all these Sunday jamborees, merchandise, politics, self conceit and hypocrisy going on in churches, how does one separate the wheat from the chaff? How does one extricate oneself to serve God in spirit and in truth. I am the type that seeks for truth in the bible and the warning from our Lord in Matt 24:24 is always ringing in my head. God bless you.

Fake pastors thrive on gullibility and superstitions, 2 very common traits found in Nigeria. People (including some so-called christians) still don't get the text: ''...you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free''.

I am a christian and all the points you raised are valid. They are exactly my grouse with the 'church'. Number 5 is the worst. If I see a GO's pic on a church board, my trust in that church goes down to 50%. If his wife's pic is included, it goes to 0%.

The Jehova witness don't believe that Jesus is Christ


I'm not for or against Jesus, all I say is stop disturbing people

I am not a Witness, but if you want to lie against them, look for more tenable lies. They believe Jesus is the Christ, and they have more intelligent publications than even mainstream christian bodies proving that Jesus is Christ.

Topmaike007:
Matthew 23:23 New Living Translation (NLT)
23 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens,[a] but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.

op even christ said yes we should tithe,so i dont think your few point can convince me that tithing is wrong

Pls where did Christ say we should tithe where you quoted? And I saw how you sneaked the word 'income' into that passage. Christ was talking to the pharisees and not to christians. And he was talking on tithing on crops, not money. Case in point, give a single passage in the bible where Christ asks his disciples about tithes.

Jesus said ''I am the Way, the Truth and the Life...'' come to Him and He will show you the way to life. Shalom.

Sorry pls how is homosexuality natural? because two same sex animals are close and ''neck-neck'' means they are gay? So if two girls are close and they hug, does it mean they are gay? Ok, let's put it this way: if homosexuality is natural, then gay couples should be able to reproduce naturally.

Buhari spoke the truth for the first time since he became president. He has actually not performed badly...he has performed WOEFULLY!

So, if you don't go for service you have forsaken the gathering of the bretheren? Which means if you don't go to your family house every time you have forsaken your parents?

alBHAGDADI:


It is right to some extent, it is also wrong to some extent.

The practice by JW is wrong in the sense that they are quick to disfellowship you if you question their doctrine or point out an error in it. They will not only disfellowship you but excommunicate you i.e they will stop talking to you in the society, and this includes your family members who will do the same to you too.

They are afraid that others will discover their falsehood, so they prevent them from talking to you.

As opposed to other denominations that will hug you when you point to their doctrinal errors, right?

trapQ:
Why did God send the Angel to deliver a message about John the Baptist not taking strong drink (alcohol)?

Why did God send the Angel to deliver a message Samson about not cutting his hair? Yeah! because it is a sin if I go to a barber's shop to cut my hair!

Jesus Christ is God, as He is in the form of God. That is, He is of the same substance as God. But Jesus is NOT the same as Yahweh. Yahweh is superior. Yahweh is His Father. Yahweh is the Almighty God.

That Akanbi guy has gone full retard mode.

You need the help of the holy ghost to teach you deeper things. There are things that are hidden from humanity which he reveals.( 1 Cor 2:10)

Pls how do you twist Rev 3:12? As in, who was Christ calling ''my God'' there? Himself?

paxonel:

Op, there are other ways Leah sharibu would have done it and set herself free from captivity and still remain a christian which would have been wiser than her inspiring christians who are observing the situation at the expense of her freedom and liberty.

Denying Islam in the presence of her captors who want her to change her faith to Islam for her freedom is not necessary.
The decision will never inspire christians in anyway, Though they can pretend to be inspired

I guess because she is still a child, she cannot think of any other way, so she remains in captivity(hopefully, God may touch her captors to release her)

An adult christian is not expected to be childish like that

Sorry pls, are u a christian? If u are, pls pray to God for strength and forgiveness. The girl is on the right path. Or to you, what d three Hebrew boys did in Daniel 3 was wrong too?

jey4all:
Trousers are allowed in the US and Uk because of the cold over there. Use your brain

So God can allow a sin if it protects you from the weather? Is that what you are saying? Cos they say wearing of trousers by females is a sin.

What kind of wine?

what kind of wine would make the pharisees accuse Him of being a wine bibber (drunkard)? Orange juice? I don't think so.

Are you sure they are true Christians? When massive alcoholic consumption and fornication is their middle name?

While other 'christian' denominations are known for their holiness and righteousness?

Control your jealousy.

I don't think the guy is jealous. I think he is just appalled at the stark difference between the attitude of our Lord Jesus Christ and those who claim to follow Him.

greatnaija01:
then the question remains... IS MAGIC MORE THAN GOD?

since u believe its too good to be true... it means you DO NOT KNOW GOD.

I don't think you are getting his point. What he is trying to pass across is dat magic is for show off, while God's miracles are not. Dis is not to say I agree dat d pastor is fake or real..

I don't know what d fuss is all about. Nobody cares how anybody dresses. Only if you want to join a body you obey the rules of dat body or get d fvck out. By the way if that Firdavs decides to marry a non muslim you clowns will not remember human rights. How you guys reason should be a topic for research.

IbnIbrahim:


Your comment shows your naivety and poverty of idea. In this age and time, you choose to model your life because someone is richer than you. Sorry, in Islaam we follow Allaah and His prophet not individuals no matter how highly placed. As to whether I am poor, I am laughing in Chinese

You follow his prophet? If you really do tell me how many people have you killed? How many 6 year olds have you married? How many highway robberies have you committed? You guys are comedy gold. So if a babalawo's daughter is to be inducted she should wear cowries on her gown too? And I thought I had heard the dumbest stuff from you guys!

There is nothin like holy site or christian robe in christianity. The holy sites are the hearts of children of GOD.

Sorry for that. But pls don't lose your faith in Christ because of dat because Christ even warned abt such in Matthew 24. Pls learn to separate serving God and serving religion or ''church''. Shalom.

God can't be wrong. And He can't lie. Pastors can tell you ''God, says...''... It is not evry1 of dem dat you shld believe. Shalom.
