My last post with one of my fav lyrics

[size=14pt]Mary, did you know[/size]

Mary, did you know
that your baby boy will one day walk on water?

Mary, did you know
that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?

Did you know,
that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered,
will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

Mary, did you know
your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know,
that your baby boy has walked where angels trod
?
When you kiss your little baby,
you've kissed the face of God.

The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?

Mary, did you know
that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?

Did you know,
that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding, is the great
I AM.

for the mere reason that he is omnipotent

and almighty, numerous options instantly appear for him.

@Kay 17

Hmmmm. Strong omnipotent backlash there ...

A great man is always willing to be little.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is true that God is omnipotent or all powerful

however He is also modest and respectful

God accepted reality and made no attempt to corner or outsmart it.

God has no or had no hang ups with the possibility or likelihood of some future event occurring

Let the chips fall where they may, God regardless of being omnipotent was ready and willing to be little.

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige.

It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character

Incidentally earlier, although in vain,

I tried checking to confirm whether you are familiar with templates

and what templates are used for

or what templates are all about.

Ok, you have a point, God can decide to abide to his rules to show an example,

however Jesus' sacrifice wasn't NECESSARY cos that's wasn't the only option for an omnipotent God

Out of curiosity, why isn't/wasn't Jesus' sacrifice required?

What are the other options for an all powerful God?

I intend no offense by these remarks.

Awwww cute but ignorance is bliss.

God will be setting a precedent

and a bad one or example for that matter if He cannot obey and abide by His word.

The original or beginning template had to be replaced

The new template within the boundaries of the rule came in the person of Jesus.

You know what a template is and what it is used for or what it is all about, don't you?

Kay 17:

God is above the "Rule" and he is not a ceremonious God

@Kay 17

"For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar." - Psalm 138:6

It is true God is above the "Rule" however God is humble

With you it might be different because pride possibly might prevent you from doing what God did.

Remember that humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less

God thought of Himself less and so was humble enough to forgo any special right, advantage or immunity from the "Rule".

Thinking of man, He unceremoniously came down to earth, became the new template and sacrifice.

I think if God is omnipotent, Jesus wouldn't have been necessary.

@Kay 17

You thought wrong and some may take it as a naive thought too,

because when or if understood, then it becomes obvious that God,

regardless of the omnipotence brouhaha, was following a rule.

The rule had to do with how to live or reside legally on earth.

The rule necessitated a body, the result is Jesus.

God became a Daddy (i.e. God the Father) the moment Jesus (i.e. God the Son) was born

@F00028

"why all the drama?
why would he cry , my God why have you forsaken me, on the cross
?" you say in an uncomplimentary & sneering manner

Well if you had continued on from Matthew 27:46 and followed on up to Matthew 27:50

you might understand correctly what actually transpired or happened during that space of time

and soon realise that the reason why Jesus cried out, cried out twice as a matter of fact

was because Jesus at that point became aware of a reenactment of what happened in Eden was taking/had taken place again with Him.

God is no respecter of person, especially where/when sin is involved.

What happened to Adam, happened to Him too.

Spiritual death first happened before physical death following.

Sin and the Spirit are not bedfellows. Sin and Anointing do not work hand in glove.

Christ (i.e. the anointing; the Spirit) departed from Jesus

The Spirit is like a conduit that connects God the Father and God the Son

Jesus sensed that Christ has left Him. The Father has severed the conduit due to the sin now placed on Jesus.

The Father had to hands off, back off and step back away from Jesus now.

Sin is unacceptable. God is incompatible with sin.

It was this abandonment that made Jesus cry out.

F00028 whether Jesus "cried or not" was not "drama"

so please "you should stop putting it out there like" that.

This was a distressful moment.

Death whether spiritual or physical is a painful feeling to go through.

Shalom.

obadiah777:

lots of questions. LOL.

1-JESUS DIED FOR MANKIND BUT NOT TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS. THE BENEFIT TO MANKIND IS THAT BOTH JEWS AND GENTILES ARE NOW UNITED UNDER THE LAW ( EPHESIANS 2 VS 14 ) WHICH WAS MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORS WERE PART OF THE FIRST FRUITS WHOSE SOULS WERE RESURRECTED TO THE LORD. AS SUCH THE LORD HAD ACCESS TO THEM AS THEIR SINS HAD BEEN NAILED TO THE CROSS. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH ( SPIRITUAL DEATH ). WHEN YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD THE LORD CANT USE YOU TO DO HIS WORK. THE LORD NEEDED THE NEW TESTAMENT WRITTEN TO ROPE IN THE GENTILES WITH THE ISRAELITES AND HENCE UNITE THE WORLD. THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN BY THE SPIRITUALLY RESSURECTED FIRST FRUITS. AS SUCH CHRIST DIED FOR THE WHOLE WORLD SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE A WAY TO RECONNECT TO GOD THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES. SO THIS IS WHAT CHRIST DID FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. OFFER YOU A WAY TO RETURN TO THE FATHER. NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SINS. YOUR SINS YOU WILL ALWAYS PAY FOR ( GALATIANS 6 VS 7 ). YOU RECONNECT WITH THE FATHER THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT BUT WHATEVER YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY YOU WILL PAY FOR IT. IF YOU WANT TO BE FULLY CONNECTED AND IN GOOD STANDING WITH GOD ? YOU HAVE TO OBEY ECCLESIASTES 12 VS 13. AND I CAN HEAR YOU SAY BUT THE OLD TESTAMENT IS DONE AWAY WITH. CHRIST SAID I COME IN THE WHOLE VOLUME OF THE BOOK. SO YOUR WORK IS TWOFOLD. RECONNECT TO THE FATHER IN YOUR SPIRIT VIA HIS WORDS AND SECONDLY YOU DO THE WORK WHICH IS KEEPING THE COMMANDS SO THAT YOU DONT GET THE LORD CORRECTING YOU BY GALATIANS 6 VS 7. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS RUBBISH. WORKS IS OBEYING THE COMMANDS. CHRIST DID NOT DIE FOR YOUR SINS, HE DIED SO YOU CAN HAVE THE SCRIPTURES WHICH WILL RECONNECT YOU TO GOD.

@obadiah777

You think "there is two of you me. one is dormant the other is active"

Wrong. You are one. One person. One person displaying different characters.

Occasionally against the grain, when going through heat or under pressure you at times go metamorphic, birthing obadiah777 for example.

You are one seed my friend. One seed with a forest of many trees in you, the one seed.

You don't know how many of you is in you.

Only God knows that. Only He knows the count.

Don't shovel "So your position is God is 3 in 1? Trinity" in my mouth.

Don't label me with "So your position is God is 3 in 1? Trinity"

That would be an injustice just as boxing up God in 3 persons is

What barefaced audacity, how much of God do we really know

Do we know God in the totality to conclude God is 3 persons

God is persons. One God with characters. The Father, The Son are examples of His personalities

It is short changing boxing up God or labeling Him with trinity

PS: means infinite or infinity

When did God become God the Father? (i.e. at what point or time)

Was God, God the Father in Eden?

The Father was already in God. The Son was already in God. God is a Spirit.

These personalities of God were revealed and only manifested at the appropriate time or period.

let us vote for either Trinity or No for no Trinity.

New International Version (©1984)
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

If you believe this means 3-gods as one GOD vote Trinitarian

What "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." means literally is "Hear, O Israel: The OWNER our God, the OWNER is one."

One God.

One God just as there is One Obadiah777. One frosbel. One Pastor Kun.

Hmm not exactly One Obadiah777 or One Pastor Kun. There could be another metamorphosis smiley

Maybe One Buzugee. One KunleOshob though.

The Lord thy God is one and that God is a Spirit

God is infinite. It is demeaning boxing God up

Frosbel the son

Frosbel the father

Frosbel the husband

Frosbel the CEO

Frosbel the Nairaland poster

Frosbel the uncle

Frosbel the IT guru

Frosbel the etcetera

Frosbel the <any other personality of his I am yet to know or be familiar with . . .>

Frosbel - Same person, but different display or occurrence of distinctive characters at particular or certain instances or period of his life

In this case the display or occurrences could be a combination operating at the same time or period

Adam knew God as God, Abraham knew God as Friend, Peter knew God as the Son, we know God as Father.

Unlike man, nothing is impossible for God,

It is not unimaginable that God can be in two places (i.e. more than one place) at the same time.

God could be in heaven and also be on earth at the same time (i.e. God the Father & God the Son) albeit within reasons and/or purpose.

The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

Hey my dearest brother danwo,

Like I said to Obadiah777 in the beginning of this thread, there is absolutely nothing wrong from a "revelation interpretation" or "revelation insight" the Holy Spirit gives to a member of the body but when you pull a verse or scriptures out of its context esp. a proverbial type like Matt. 24:28 Kjv, and apply it "dead church" being fed on by predatory eagle (e.g. general overseers, archbishops, bishops, zonal pastors, master prophets etc), then you need to show us, using scripture to explain scripture how you arrive at such interpretation. That is my concern in this subject.

Now, since that proverbial verse is in the context of Jesus second coming.....how does that translates to the atrocities of the Ezekiel 34 false shepherd feeding on the dead church? when the context is about the second coming of Christ....That is what I can't understand my brother......Abi my eyes don dey read different translations?

Hey my dearest brother Goshen360

Signs of the endtimes is a dead church, a carcass . . .

Ezekiel 34 was concealing what is revealing already now in the body (i.e. "For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together". - Matthew 24:28 KJV)

I will answer to that verse before the end of today and let's see how it goes.

obadiah777 has some credible elements about the carcass and the eagles.

The atrocities of Ezekiel 34's (i.e. the whole chapter) shepherds (i.e. pastors) taking advantage of, feeding off etc the flock

Just as the flock in Ezekiel were sucked dried, without life etc there is now a carcass (i.e. dead body)

and wherever there is a dead body (i.e. dead church), predatory eagles (e.g. general overseers, archbishops, bishops, zonal pastors, master prophets etc) are gathering

There the eagles gather together under different guises with gimmicks of all sorts capturing preys to maintain a lifestyle etc.

Killing the sheep that are fed and feeding not the flock etc

Like frosbel has been harping, know which body (i.e. church) you belong to

If it is a carcass (i.e. dead body or church) then flee from it. Flee from the eagles.

Flee! Run to the mountain top!! Save your life!!!

"For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together". - Matthew 24:28 KJV

Simeon means to hear, listened to, obey etc
Niger River runs through Nigeria which is how the country got its name

Niger-ia is the most populous country on earth where majority of the population is black (i.e. niger)

Though not in prophecy as such, the closest reference and specifically to Naija or Nigeria is that of Simeon of Niger

Facts:
- Simeon literally means to hear, listen to, obey

I watched that bit too

I had my reservation and on that had to spit out the bone(s)

nonetheless I wouldnt take away his credit based on that to paint him a fraud

OLAADEGBU:

Don't spit out the bone(s) yet until you hear what Walid Shoebat had to say.

^^^

OK, maybe a point of correction.

The bone's been moved around and resting in corners of my mouth,

am yet to decide whether to crunch on it or spit it out.

Time will tell though, so far most boxes are ticked; Saddam, Ghaddafi, Mubarak etc

Am keeping a tab on al-Assad at the mo, watching how this and what follows pans out.

PS: I know all of them; Walid Shoebat etc and co

Also when in the mood, @obadiah777 yaps types in capitals or uppercases out whim/fancy and not due to hostility or annoyance.

@obadiah777

The man is not building or trying opening a physical church but has a ministry building the body of Christ (i.e. church)

He is out there, in the world, "ROADS AND STREET CORNERS AND SEEK OUT" with his ministry serving information or revelation.

obadiah777:

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT.

POWER CORRUPTS. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE FOLLOWERS AND CONGREGATIONS.

THE HUMAN BODY IS THE TEMPLE. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE WORD.

THEN YOU TAKE THE TEMPLE ( HUMAN BODY ) TO THE MEEK AND LOWLY AND BROKEN ( THE STREETS ).

ESTABLISHED AND ORGANIZED RELIGION IS SATANIC

^^^

Ministry is different and not neccesarily associated with a church building

Congregations are found in church buildings

Like others, Perry has taken to the world wide web to minister.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" - Mark 16:15 KJV

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing" - 1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,

but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen
". - Ephesians 4:29 NIV

"But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit," - Jude 1:20 NLT

No doubt gems, nuggets, information or revelation can be picked up from Perry's or any other's teachings

The Spirit of truth will assist in carrying out a reverse onus on information or revelation received

obadiah777:

ANYWAY THE POINT HERE IS THE MAN IS AN ANTI-CHRIST. JOIN THESE SIX SCRIPTURES TOGETHER AND YOU WILL SEE MY POINT

ACTS 17 VS 24 - 1 JOHN 2 VS 22 - TITUS 1 VS 16 - JOB 14 VS 4 - LUKE 14 VS 23 - I CORINTHIANS 6 VS 19-20

AND IN CASE YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO PULL UP THOSE 6 SCRIPTURES THESE ARE THE STORY IT TELLS.

THE LORD DOES NOT DWELL IN BUILDINGS CALLED CHURCHES ( temples ) BECAUSE THE BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

AND AS SUCH YOU SHOULD GO OUT TO THE ROADS AND STREET CORNERS AND SEEK OUT THOSE WHO ARE BROKEN AND NEED SALVATION, THE LOWLY AND THE MEEK,

AND ANYONE WHO TRIES TO BUILD A CHURCH IS GOING AGAINST MY WILL BECAUSE I AM NOT IN THESE ESTABLISHMENT

AND AS SUCH WHO CAN PULL OUT SOMETHING CLEAN FROM SOMETHING SO UNCLEAN

AND AS SUCH THEY DENY ME BY THEIR DEEDS BY OPENING A PHYSICAL CHURCH WHICH I HAVE INSTRUCTED THEM NOT TO AND AS SUCH THEY ARE ANTI-CHRIST lmao.

i just combined those 6 chapters into a story
