The holy Spirit knows the mind of God so there is no reason Jesus should mention him.
Jesus said no one (those on earth), the angels, and the son which sums up the list adding the holy Spirit by you is unwarranted.
I have posted sufficient proof from the bible to show that the holy Spirit is God.
Settle down and enlighten yourself with it.

If Christ doesn't know, does that not mean the spirit of Christ doesn't know?


Is the spirit of Christ not the same holy spirit ?

Do you now accept nobody knows except the Father, so we can go back to the real issue on why such a person was omitted at Matt 24 vs 36 if its a person like Father, son, angel and everyone ?

WITH WHAT DID JEHOVAH PRODUCE JESUS WITH?...BECAUSE, JOHN1:3 SAYS- AND WITH THIS "WORD", GOD{JEHOVAH} CREATED "ALL" THINGS. NOTHING WAS MADE WITHOUT THE "WORD."{CEV TRANS).

NOTE THE WORD "ALL" IF CHRIST JESUS THE WORD WAS CREATED OR PRODUCE THAT WILL ALSO INCLUDE HIM. JEHOVAH NEVER PRODUCED ANYTHING WITHOUT THE WORD.

Sweerychick, you're going to get only bias response. Few posters have been objective, the rest only gave the usual talk. If you're not exaggerating, then you have reasons to be concerned.
You have to understand kids brought up brought up by one parent are usually very attached to them, it has nothing to do with you having a son first. There are ladies that behave like that too.

What you should be concerned with is... is he fond of mom or is he a complete mom's boy, that type that can't take decisions on their own. If he is a complete mom's boy, then have it in mind that there'll always be interference in your home. If he is only fond of mom, you should remain glad...you wouldn't have it any other way.

Ignore blackmails, I am sure your own parents suffered for you too. You didn't wish her any wrong, you only raised your concerns which men can have too. All these guys typing rubbish here won't marry a lady who consults her mum in everything.

You want to search for him with your physical might? Lol. Funny to see you quote bible. To which direction do you seek him? If God doesn't find you, you can't find him. ‎

This is a bit of a follow up to my earlier thread (https://www.nairaland.com/3826091/what-point-life) but I feel this is a similar but different line of thought and should be treated as such.

Now, I'm not quite certain of what the timeline of some biblical events is (whether Lucifer rebelled against God before creation, whether both happened simultaneously or Lucifer's rebellion came after creation) but what the Bible does say at least are that

1) Lucifer Rebelled
2) God created earth and man
3) The devil tempted man causing him to fall

Asides these though, I can't help wondering: what was God's plan for earth as at creation? Did he create it to be everlasting, without end, going on and on and on interminably? If this was the plan, then man was never going to heaven. Man would always remain on earth and God in heaven, end of story.

On the other hand, did he plan for an end to the earth so man can join in him in heaven? Then the fall of man can be construed to be God's plan all along to get kick-start the process that would ultimately result in the destruction of earth and moving deserving mankind to heaven to be with him forever.

Thoughts?

Hello Nairalanders, this topic has given me so much heartaches and despite all the research i have done to find answers to this dillemma, i am still yet to find the answers. The motivation for this topic is derived from the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of my mum who passed a way last year and it is my utmost desire that i see her again when its my turn to transit to the great beyond.

Pls, nairalanders who are knowledgeable in the field of the ephemeral and spiritual matters should come to my aid.

Are we going to see our late loved ones again when we die?

well i don't knw wat u bliv and am nt even goin 2 preach to u, cos i knw a lot of ppl would ave done dat. I would have agreed with u that God does nt exist if i haven't seen his manifestations in my life. Infact i wouldn't even be existing by now if i didn't run to God
infact, countless times that i have called upon him and he always answer me.
If u r making a request to God jst to check his existence, then am sori he would nt answer. Because he said it in his world that 'if my people that are called by my name and humble themselves and pray, i would heal their land. You can't mention the name of JESUS and expect it to work when u dont bliv in it.
And bliv me, there is one thing that prevents one's prayer frm being answerd which is 'sin'.

Terrible analogies.

The 'god of Nairaland' did not make any of these promises. He does not have messengers going about saying that he can or will do those things. Your God on the other hand...

One sided expectations hurts a lot ..just as am going through right now..I'm really depressed. I can't go a day without crying. I'm trying my best to pull out but it still keep coming. For one week now I've just been in my room ,I haven't gone out ( crying)

Matt13:3Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

My Brother why would the Farmer sow on Road side,Rocky ground and Thorns knowing fully well they won't yield Fruits?
Remember the Seed was scattered ALL OVER THE GROUND indicating Redemption is for the whole world(not just His children )
You know the Seed is the Word of God and the Grounds are the Hearts of Men.
The Good Soil typifies the new Heart God gives to His children(EZIKEL36:26) without a new heart believing in Christ is impossible.
Let's also look at Romans.
Romans8:19For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,...

in hope 21thath the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God....,,
Creation
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the "REDEMPTION" of our bodies. ...
So apart from believers Creation(unbelievers and everything created that has been corupted) groans also to be set free from the bondage of corruption.
The Redemptive work of our Lord is for the whole creation of God.
Remember Creation being freed doesn't make them Sons/Daughters of God.

An2elect2:
It's clear you don't want a Bible interpretation!

An2elect2:
"Everyone" or "every man" means all God has given Christ not every individual to walk this earth. This is in concordance with many scriptures that show particular redemption.

Let's look at the passage you quoted. From Hebrews 2:9-17

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the childrenwhich God hath given me.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

There is the full message.

Your view= Everyone means every individual that has ever lived.
Bible view= Everyone is all the children God gave Christ.

Confirmation: Apart from the facts of particular redemption expressly stated in the Bible, Christ death is the only thing that reconciles men to God. No freewill or works is needed for it to be effective.

vs14,15. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

If no "freewill" or "works" is needed to perfect Christ's suffering and death, it then means God must by the death of Christ give life to those Christ died for in time. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BORN AGAIN. it is after men are born that they receive Christ. John 1:12,13.




[i] You know it doesn't. If Christ's death is sufficient enough to save a man, that man must be saved.
So if he died for all men who ever lived like you think all men must be saved. Because Christ took the death of all he died for and gave them his life. How can they perish still?

1timothy 2:3-6 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Only God has the power to save and bring all men to the knowledge of the truth. Not only does God desire this, He has willed it.
First, Christ gave himself a ransom for all. And then the life he purchased with His blood is being given to all men. Since not everyone is given this life, we know "all" does not mean all men that have existed.

Lol. If Judas wasn't saved, it means Christ didn't die for him . Simple
