We don't derive the divine nature of the Triune God from a diagram, rather we get a full picture from Scripture. The diagram is simply a schematic to help explain what the basic idea of the Trinity is. Truthseeker10: So please where does the Diagram attached numbers to the persons?
Does the diagram say that The Word is a second person within the Godhead or it says The word is God? |

Because the Word who was with God is a person within the Godhead. He is the Second Person of the Triune God. John 1:1 to 3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.It is by His Word that God created this Universe of which the earth is a tiny speck. Truthseeker10: According to the Diagram's description, does John 1:1 mention another person apart from The Word That is God?
So How can the Word Who is God be with God according to John 1:1? |

God did not create sin. It entered into creation as a result of Man's disobedience of God’s command. Secondly, God is the moral arbiter and Judge of humanity. Even in a human court, repentance will not stop a guilty man from facing the consequences of his crimes. That standard is even more elevated when it comes to God’s Divine standards because they are Higher than anything humanity can achieve. Before sin corrupted nature, Man was living up to God’s standards, but once he fell, it was going to take an extraordinary act of Divine compassion to reconcile man in his fallen state with God. Ezekiel 18-20 to 22 is referring to mere mortals, not to First and Second Persons of the Trinity because God does not and cannot sin. It is simply not in His Divine Nature. Antichristian2: Who created man to be sinful? Who created sin in the first place? And what's the importance of killing your son (which happens to be yourself) when you can just forgive anyone who repents.
The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of his son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him. But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die. None of the transgressions he has committed will be held against him. Because of the righteousness he has practiced, he will live. Ezekiel 18:20-22 Where exactly did I say that the Israelites attached divinity to themselves? Or is putting words into people's mouths part of your Taqqiya script? I never said there was anything Divine about the people of Israel, just that God elevated them above all the other peoples of the Earth. They may not look like morally righteous people anymore, but that is because for 2000 years, the overwhelming majority of them have rejected their Messiah and there are severe spiritual consequences for this act of rebellion against the Will of God. You accused me earlier of context, in which of the verses you quoted did you include the context?
The Israelites didn't attach divinity to themselves. Though they have this racist mentality from the Bible as God's special people. But God only chooses them as far as they submit to Him alone.
That is false as i said. Jesus made a command in Matthew specifying the manner in which they should baptize people.
The disciples deviated from this command which means one of the following:
they never received the message (Matthew was a lie). They forgot the message (and they may have forgotten so many things too). They promoted what they wished to promote. (Agenda of the Romans). |

Because ALL 3 PERSONS of the Trinity are God. They all have the essential attributes of God because they are Divine, Uncreated and Eternal.

Education › Re: What Is Stamped Concrete, And Why Is It Popular In San Antonio? by BlackViper: 2:26pm On Mar 18, 2025 |
Is this San Antonio Texas? concretesa: Stamped concrete is a versatile and cost-effective material that mimics the look of natural stone, brick, or even wood. It’s created by pouring concrete and then pressing molds into it before it hardens. Once the concrete sets, it’s stained or colored to achieve a realistic appearance. In San Antonio, stamped concrete has become a go-to choice for homeowners and businesses looking to enhance their outdoor spaces without breaking the bank.
The popularity of stamped concrete in San Antonio stems from its durability, aesthetic appeal, and affordability.

Christianity Etc › Re: Jesus Answered Her, “I Was Sent Only To The Lost Sheep Of The House Of Israel". by BlackViper: 2:18pm On Mar 18, 2025 |
Christ voluntarily laid down His life as an atonement for God’s wrath against the sinfulness of mankind. John 3:16 Old Testament (Prophecy of the Suffering Servant) Isaiah 53:4-5 – "Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." This prophecy foretells the Messiah's duty to suffer and die for the sins of the people. New Testament (Jesus’ Words About Laying Down His Life) 1. John 10:17-18 – "The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." Jesus declares that it is His duty, given by the Father, to lay down His life. 2. John 15:13 – "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." This highlights the Son’s sacrificial love and His duty to die for others. The Son obeyed the Father, thereby setting the example for us who are sons and daughters by adoption to follow. The Second Person of the Trinity who is the Son communicates with the Father by prayer. That doesn't make Him any less Divine. All it means is that He humbled Himself to step out of Eternity and into nature in the form of a human being as a servant and obedient Son. Christ died because it was the Son's duty to die and be resurrected, not the Father's or the Holy Spirit. Antichristian2: This is even worse! So can we say Jesus died when he saw the father died?
If the father's power is the same as that of the son, then the father should have come to save humans not the son! And the son shouldn't have claimed the father is greater than him. And why is Jesus always praying to the father? Getting authority from the father? Doing the father's will? Can equal persons send each other messages where one is the sender and the other is the messenger?
Do Equal Gods worship one another? If Jesus worshipped the father, where did the father worshipped Jesus?
Jesus died! Can the father and the spirit too die? When did they die? You should really stop doing this because you keep exposing the degree of abject ignorance you have about Scripture. The Israelites ALWAYS acknowledged God as their Father. It is written all over the Old Testament: 1. Exodus 4:22-23 –"Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”Here, God directly refers to Israel as His "firstborn son," emphasizing their special status among the nations. 2. Deuteronomy 32:19-20 –"The LORD saw this and rejected them because He was angered by His sons and daughters. ‘I will hide my face from them,’ He said, ‘and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.’" God refers to the Israelites as His "sons and daughters," but also rebukes their disobedience. 3. Isaiah 1:2 –"Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: 'I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.'" This passage portrays Israel as God’s children who have turned away from Him.4. Jeremiah 3:19 –"I myself said, ‘How gladly would I treat you like my children and give you a pleasant land, the most beautiful inheritance of any nation.’ I thought you would call me ‘Father’ and not turn away from following me." Here, God explicitly expresses His desire for Israel to acknowledge Him as their Father.5. Hosea 1:10 –"Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘children of the living God.’" This passage speaks of a future restoration where Israel will once again be recognized as God's children. The apostles were addressing Jewish audiences who were more knowledgeable about their special status in the eyes of God the Father as His adopted children, but were ignorant about the status of Christ as their Messiah because their religious teachers like the Rabbis and Pharisees had given them false teachings about Christ. It was important for the Christological knowledge of these Jewish converts to be firmly established in accordance with their knowledge of the Old Testament which they already had, unlike the gentile pagan nations. That is why Paul and Peter concentrated on the One issue for which there was a deficiency in their Spiritual knowledge and that is their ignorance of the Divinity of Christ as the Second Person of the Triune God. Even if they had an understanding of God the father (which i doubt any Jew recognises the word God the father) the disciples should have followed Jesus's command to baptise the people in the name of the father, son and the holy spirit. It is an express command which they didn't obey!
This casts an aspersion on the book of Matthew. Did that event actually happened? Did Jesus really tell them to baptise in the name of the trinity? Will the disciples disobey Jesus if he truly had said that? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Jesus Answered Her, “I Was Sent Only To The Lost Sheep Of The House Of Israel". by BlackViper: 11:54am On Mar 18, 2025 |
Imagine ignoring all the verses leading up to John 5:30 because they destroy your lying narrative!😂 John 5:19Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.In the very words of Christ, His power and authority as the Son is EXACTLY the same as His Father's. An ordinary creation cannot claim to have the same authority and power as God does. Jesus Christ can do so because HE IS GOD! Antichristian2: This is great. Who gave him the authority? His God!
In John 5:30, Jesus states, "I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
So Jesus has no authority of himself. In Acts 2:38 and Acts 10:47, Peter and Paul were speaking to faithful Jewish people who already had an understanding of God the Father and God’s Spirit. The part of the equation that they were missing was Jesus, the Son of God—and without Jesus, they could not be saved (Acts 4:12). In presenting the gospel to the Jews, Peter commands them to be baptized in Jesus’ name; that is, to exercise faith in the One they had crucified. They had already professed the Father and the Spirit, but they also needed to profess the Son. Those who received the gospel that day devoted themselves to the lordship of Jesus. They no longer rejected Him but acknowledged Him as their Messiah and only Hope for salvation.It was only through accepting Christ as their Savior that the full trinitarian salvation commanded by Christ when He said: Baptise In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit could be achieved by these Jews. Secondly, Jesus told them to baptise people in the name of the father , son and holy spirit. But the disciples baptised in the name of Jesus only in Acts below:
Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. Acts 2:38-41:
“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. Acts 10:47-48:
And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 19:4-5:
You can see everything has been changed! And finally the nations of Israel is spread over so it is understandable that this is what Jesus meant. Jesus didn't lie that was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. |

Matthew 28:16-20 Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of all the nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. Antichristian2: New International Version He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
New Living Translation Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.”

Politics › Buhari Almost Bankrupted Nigeria; My Govt Saved The Country-Tinubu by BlackViper(op): 3:27am On Mar 14, 2025 |
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday said he took over a Nigeria that was in the throes of bankruptcy after eight years of his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari.“Nigeria would have been bankrupt if we had not taken the actions that we took, and we had to prevent the economy’s collapse,” Mr Tinubu said during a meeting with a group of supporters at the State House in Abuja. Mr Buhari was the first politician to be elected president on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, serving two terms of four years each from 2015 to 2023. He handed power to Mr Tinubu on the same platform, arguing during his last days in office that he had turned the nation’s socio-economic conditions around during his tenure. Both leaders remained key political allies, and Mr Buhari issued a statement earlier on Thursday reiterating his loyalty to Mr Tinubu and the APC, following rumours that the former president was considering joining a budding alliance to defeat Mr Tinubu at the ballot in 2027. It was unclear how Mr Tinubu’s statement would be received by Mr Buhari, who now lives in Kaduna following his exit from power. A spokesman for the former president did not immediately return a request seeking comments about his successor’s statement Thursday night.A State House press release said the president sought to assuage citizens that conditions would continue to improve after inflation showed signs of cooling in recent months. Read the full press statement as issued by the president’s spokesman Bayo Onanuga below: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu articulated on Thursday the rationale behind his administration’s economic reforms, saying the primary motive was protecting the interests of future generations. . “For 50 years, Nigeria was spending money of generations yet unborn and servicing the West coast of our subregion with fuel. It was getting difficult to plan for our children’s future,” he said. He made these remarks at the State House in Abuja while receiving a delegation of former National Assembly colleagues from the aborted Third Republic, during which he served as a Senator representing Lagos West. The President highlighted the challenges faced at the beginning of his administration, especially economic and social issues, and expressed his gratitude for the delegation’s support in addressing these difficulties: “We faced serious headwinds when I took over, very challenging times. Nigeria would have been bankrupt if we had not taken the actions that we took, and we had to prevent the economy’s collapse. President Tinubu declared that the administration had been able to stem the tide and expressed appreciation to Nigerians for their collective support in turning things around. “Today, we are sitting pretty on a good foundation. We have reversed the problem; the Exchange rate is stabilising. Food prices are coming down, especially during Ramadan. We will have light at the end of the tunnel.” He said firm adherence to democratic tenets is the best route to economic, social, and political development. “I am happy that you are holding to your belief in democracy. I thank you for keeping faith and remembering how we started. Some people missed the ball. “Some leadership failed, but we kept the faith with our democratic beliefs and freedom and the right to aspire to the highest office in the land. I am benefitting from it.” Senator Emmanuel Chiedoziem Nwaka, who spoke on behalf of the group, expressed his delight at some of the programmes that the Tinubu administration had implemented, especially the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP) and at what the two organisations were offering Nigerians. “I appreciate you for what you are giving to students because the student population is the largest demographic in the country. I’ve spoken with many of them, and many have benefited from it. “And the next one is the CREDICORP. That’s a major way of fighting corruption. You see a young man, you come out of school, you want to buy a car, you have to put down cash, you want to buy a house, and you are not married, but with the CREDICORP, you can get things done. I’m following their activities; we are delighted,” he said. Other members of the delegation were Sen. Bako Aufara Musa, Hon. Terwase Orbunde, Hon. Wasiu Logun, Hon. Amina Aliyu, High Chief Obi Anoliefo and Hon. Eze Nwauwa.

Former Nigerian Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the recent suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, describing it as an attack on fairness, representation, and gender inclusivity in Nigerian politics.
In a statement issued on Saturday to commemorate International Women’s Day, Atiku expressed concerns over the continued suppression of women in leadership, emphasising the need for their full participation in governance.
However, he lamented that despite Nigeria’s democratic framework, women in leadership still face deliberate efforts to silence them.
Referring to Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension, he described it as a clear example of such suppression.
Atiku reaffirmed his commitment to the advancement and protection of women’s rights in Nigeria, stating that national progress depends on the empowerment of women.
The statement partly reads, "On this special occasion of International Women’s Day, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the resilient, hardworking, and courageous women of Nigeria.
"Women are the backbone of our society and play indispensable roles in our homes, workplaces, and governance. Their contributions to nation-building are immeasurable, and today, we celebrate their strength, determination, and achievements
"However, it is deeply concerning that in a democratic society, attempts are still being made to silence the voices of women in leadership. The recent suspension of Senator @NatashaAkpoti is an unfortunate example of such suppression, which undermines the principles of fairness, representation, and gender inclusivity."
"Women must be encouraged and empowered to participate fully in governance, not stifled when they dare to lead.
On this International Women’s Day 2025, I reaffirm my commitment to the advancement, inclusion, and protection of women’s rights in Nigeria. A nation can only progress when its women are given the space and opportunity to thrive." https://saharareporters.com/2025/03/08/atiku-says-senator-natashas-suspension-example-women-suppression-nigeria?fbclid=IwY2xjawI5wxZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHY5hmAqGcW1ikDTS2ExdbYlUVokrs2PQAqhf8T-lKQcjGDqzTHCg6DOByA_aem_TxZLh9T8ADzphZ6Y0b7smQ

Sports › Barcelona Game Postponed After Team Doctor Suddenly Died by BlackViper(op): 10:00pm On Mar 08, 2025 |
BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona's LaLiga game against Osasuna on Saturday was postponed 20 minutes before kickoff following the unexpected death of first-team doctor Carles Miñarro García.
Miñarro García joined Barça in 2017 and had been working with the first team since last summer having previously worked with the futsal side.
"Barcelona are deeply saddened to announce the passing of first-team doctor Carles Miñarro García this evening," the club said in a statement.
"For this reason, the match against Osasuna has been postponed and will be rearranged for a later date.
The Barcelona board of directors and all staff extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time."
Sources told ESPN that Barça players learned of Miñarro García's death when they arrived at the Olympic Stadium for the fixture against Osasuna.
The team unanimously agreed that the best thing to do was request the postponement of the match, to which LaLiga agreed.
"Always in our hearts, Doc," midfielder Gavi posted on Instagram. "We will miss you a lot."
"I still can't believe it," teammate Pedri wrote. "Sending a huge hug to all of Carles' family and friends."
Defender Ronald Araújo said on X: "It's hard to believe. Rest in peace, Doc. Sending strength to Carles' family and friends. May God strengthen your hearts in this difficult time
Most supporters were already inside the stadium when the decision was taken to call the game off.
At first there was uncertainty as the players didn't come out to warm up, with an announcement arriving 20 minutes before the game was due to begin that it had been suspended.
The same announcement then followed in English and a short statement was put up on the big screen explaining why the game would not go ahead on Saturday, with fans respectfully making their way to the exits
The game will take place at a later date yet to be confirmed.
Barcelona currently lead LaLiga, one point clear of Atlético Madrid and three ahead of Real Madrid. https://africa.espn.com/football/story/_/id/44166753/barcelona-osasuna-postponed-death-team-doctor-carles-minarro-garcia

Politics › Boko Haram Kidnap Lecturer Of Nigerian Army University by BlackViper(op): 3:30am On Mar 04, 2025 |
Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have abducted a professor from the Nigerian Army University, Biu, along with other passengers traveling on the Damaturu-Biu Road near Kamuya village in Yobe State.
Sources within the university confirmed that the abduction occurred around noon on Monday.
A university official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment, disclosed that the professor was returning from Maiduguri, where he had visited his family, when the attack took place.
“I am not in a position to disclose this officially, but the news is all over campus. I believe the university’s communication office will issue a statement in due time,” the source said.
It was also revealed that the abducted professor was among 30 candidates who had applied for the position of vice-chancellor at the university.
Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the Borno State Police Command for comments were unsuccessful, as calls went unanswered.
The abduction comes amid a resurgence of terrorist activities in Nigeria’s northeastern region
In January, at least six soldiers were killed when suspected Boko Haram militants ambushed troops in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
That same month, 20 fishermen were massacred in the Gadan Gari community of Bama LGA, while 40 farmers were killed in Dumba village, Kukawa LGA. Dozens of others were kidnapped across the state.
February also witnessed increased violence, with seven people killed in two separate attacks in Damboa LGA.
The deteriorating security situation has raised concerns about the safety of residents and travelers in the region, as Boko Haram and its factions continue to launch deadly assaults despite ongoing military operations. https://punchng.com/bharam-abducts-professor-others-in-fresh-borno-attack/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIzRUlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHVCwni30TaNAIqkBgKpK7dnLJ573XNVWQugf2Lfq9G452qK1kJ9lp9SJAw_aem_4IKnd4Er2eelnePCz6PvVw#google_vignette
