oprajo:I believe the answer to ur question lies in knowing what jesus, in relation to his followers , went to heaven to do . By knowing that, we will know why he had to go before the spirit is being poured upon them. |
fashrobbin1:Would flashing not affect the warranty on the tab ? |
On the issue of if jesus is the ach angel Micheal or not , ill like to ask questions to come to a better understanding . Let's clear away some terminologies (if I'm wrong pls tell me where) Angel : Both the Hebrew mal·ʼakhʹ and the Greek agʹge·los literally mean “messenger.” (Q1: is this true or false?) Messenger: a person who carries a message or goes on an errand for another, especially as a matter of duty or business. In short , a messenger is a person sent to do something by another person. (Q2: is this true or false ? ) (Q3:Can we rightfully now say that angels according to the bible are spirit messengers of God?. That they are spirit creatures who are sent by God to perform certain functions and also represent him ? ) (Q4: is jesus a spirit ?) (Q5: does the bible ever tell use that jesus is sent by God (the father)? ) (Q6 : does the bible ever tell us that jesus had a message from someone else for us ?) Arch-angel : literally means chief agent. In the bible , it is never mentioned in plural form to signify that their is only one archangel (chief angel/oga patapata of the angels ). Throughout the bible , there is only one name associated with the arch angel and this is Michael. I believe we can also say that the Arch angel is the chief messenger of God (if I'm wrong let me know) . ..................................................... While considering that, we move on to some bible verses. Daniel 10:13: King James Bible But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. International Standard Version However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for 21 days. Then all of a sudden, Michael, one of the chief angels, came to assist me! I had been detained there near the kings of Persia. Daniel 10:21 New Living Translation Meanwhile, I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. (No one helps me against these spirit princes except Michael, your spirit prince. Holman Christian Standard Bible No one has the courage to support me against them except Michael, your prince. However, I will tell you what is recorded in the book of truth. Daniel 12:1 : New International Version "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people-- everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered. Jude 9: King James Bible Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. Rev 12:7 King James Bible And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, From this verses above we can assume the following . 1. There is order and rank among the angels . 2. Michael is the leader of the angels , hence the most powerful in rank , power and authority. 3. Micheal is the foremost of the princes(he is a prince) 4.Micheal is the prince of jehovahs people and he is always standing on their behalf(the Jews in the OT and spiritual isreal in the NT)to protect them. Now let's dig further Ex 23:20,21,23 : King James Bible Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. completely destroy them. For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. With the scriptures above , we can rightly say that an angel guided the isrealites into the promised land and stood on their behalf against the Egyptians and other more powerful nations,and that this angel is the angel of Daniels people mentioned earlier . Thus this angel is Micheal(who stands on behalf of Daniels people),who while being a prince of jehovahs people contented with Satan over moses body(Jude 9). Now let's look at who apostle paul called this powerful angel In cor 10: 1-4 paul when talking about the isrealites and their journey from Egypt said : King James Bible Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud(in reference to the angel that formed a cloud to protect and guide them during their journey), and all passed through the sea;(in reference to the miracle of dividing the red sea ) And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. (Q8: Now who did paul say was that spiritual rock that followed the isrealite during their journey ,that guided them and performs neccesary saving actions? (Q9: what did God call the spirit person that will guide the isrealite and that they should listen to and that his name is in him ? Pls read Mal 3:1 Ex 3 :2 Acts 7: 30:31 To be continued ..... |
@^^^ . You can't patake in the divine nature with a fleshly body. It is when you get to heaven (receive a spiritual body ) that you can partake in the divine nature. Pls , to those explaining the falsehood of trinity to trinitarians , pls pls , find out first what the person you are discussing with really believe in the numerous definitions associated with trinity. Cus while reading most post on trinity , I found out that most of them do not fully say what they believe . I also found out that most trinitarians do not believe each others postulations and believes due to the numerous variations in the belief itself . For example , during a discussion with two trinitarians , one believed that the father and jesus are two different persons with same authority. But the other believed that the father and jesus are the same person having two personalities. (this believe was based on the attempt to include the holy spirit into the equation since he has read a verse that says that "the lord is the holy spirit " ) . Another group believe that The almighty God is a nature and not a person and that three individual persons possess that nature. So letting them state their individual belief will stop them from jumping from one type of belief to the other when their false belief is being exposed. Note: in the bible , I've noticed something , when visions of heaven is revealed ,God is always sitting on his throne and jesus is atimes sitting at the right hand of that throne( but not on that particular throne)and atimes standing beside the throne and atimes performing a particular action in front of that throne or away from that throne (while God is sitted on the throne ) . In all these visions , no one has seen the holy spirit in any describable form sitting or standing in that heavenly arrangement. |
I love the way the scriptures handle topics . Nowhere in the scriptures is taking of alcohol condemned. Too much intake of alcohol is condemned just like too much eating is also condemned. The result of too much intake to the extent that you lose ur senses is specified in different parts of the scriptures so that we can be reminded not to drink too much . The ACtractive nature of alcohol is also stated so that we can be aware and not allow it to overcome us. Nowhere is drinking alcohol considered a sin except if you are being specificaly directed not to drink due to ur position or function in society . For example u dnt expect a doctor or pilot or president to drink when they are on duty. Does the bible allow drinking wine ? Yes Does the bible allow drinking Strong alcohol eg spirits ? Yes , up to the level of even using the tithe Money to buy it and drink (this I bet the pastors will frown at as it might reduce their source of income) |
Binb:Adam cannot give his children what he does not have. By the time He started having children , he was imperfect and thus cannot give birth to perfect children . He passed on sin to his children and thus the children have to live with the effect that sin brings to their body. So it is wrong for you to say "children being punished for the sin of the father. The children can't be perfect and must suffer the effect of imperfection cus their father, adam, can't give them perfection. A father cannot give a child an inheritance he does not have , but rather will give the child the things he has, and in the case of adam, imperfection and its resultant effect. Jesus has giving man the oppotunity of gaining that perfection back. |
Emusan:Quite convenient . You believe in the creed as truth from the bible. Prove it ! |
Emusan:Well for starters, its good you have now agreed with the word jehovah used by the nwt in that verse. Jehovah is the name of the father, the almighty God.no other person bears that name. |
femi4:The tab itself! Or just d sd card ? |
Papist:What scripture passages back up ur belief in these creed? |
Hope you dnt mind this slight off topic post. Just bought a new galaxy tab 4 and the most informations I put on the sd card keep getting currupted. Tried different sd cards with same result. Is this a general problem ? |
Binb:You can't give what you dnt have, when adam and eve sinned , they lost perfection (a perfect human body). An S shaped bread pan cannot produce an N shaped bread, therefore watever they do or produce can never be perfect again. This includes their giving birth, taking care of the child, living on the earth among themselves etc . they decided to be like God and determine their own ways. This God allowed them to do( after telling them the consequences), to show everyone involved, Satan, humans and other observers that his arrangement for mankind is the best for him and that Satans challenge on his sovereignty and right to rule and guide man is wrong. But God did not abandon us , he set in motion a way back to him right there and then. But to get back to him, we have to be sure and also show we accept his rulership and guidance more than what the world offers. If we do this till the end of our Lifes(even 150 years is short) we are assured of perfect , joyful, peaceful, perfect evalasting life(more than a billion years) devoid of pain or any misery. So showing to God , that unlike our first parents adam and eve,that we want to serve him,and that despite all of satans temptations and pressures , we will stick to jehovah. he will then reward us with the perfect life lost by adam but redeemed by jesus. |
Looking at the scriptures u quoted, Unless we agree that the holy spirit is also the father. It is not possible to assume that the holy spirit is a person like God. If the father is also the holy spirit . Then they are not two persons but rather one person exhibiting two personalities which goes contrary to the trinity doctrine which emphasises co equality of 3 persons . If the father is not the holy spirit , then how do we explain that the spirit is jehovah. |
Well, what did jesus say will happen during our time and keep on increasing in the last days 1. False prophets who can perform signs and powerful works which he will later reject 2. People who do these things in his name which he will also reject 3. Increase in greedy people (tithe collectors) who use every means to collect money from the poor for their own personal benefit, comfort and future prosperity(fat bank accounts) 4. Self centered. People who put their picture beside every miracle they want to advertise . |
Binb:The result of believing in jesus ransome sacrifice and following Gods directive is the removal of sin from our body. This removal of sin comes after we have believed and act according to our belief till the end of our lifes . The faith we have is that our believe in jesus will be rewarded when we die or if his kingdom come and we are still alive. So if you serve God in this sinful world till death, there is hope of ressurrection to a bright , sinless, perfect , happy future. This promise we have total faith in. Despite the fact that there are some rewards for serving God now like peace of mind, happiness, humility, lack of worry, joy, and love among ur fellow brothers. The complete and full reward will come when jesus brings his kingdom to reign on earth and totally removes sin, its resultant effect and the one who initiated it in the first place. |
Binb:95% can give birth un assisted . Animals that need assistance are animals that have defects in their body structure. When animals give birth, the most are usually agile, ready to move, run and fight immediately after giving birth. You can't do that if you have just or experiencing severe pain. Some animals can even give birth standing . When animals are in pain , they grow weak and can't fiction at optimum , but apart from tiredness, animals operate at optimum after giving birth. The reverse is the case when it comes to humans as 95% cannot give birth unassisted, and I believe this is due to increased birth pangs . |
RebelChip:Lie number one: jehovah's witnesses don't clutch bible . Lie number 2: they dnt pray for people they meet the first time but rather they encourage you to pray for urself (since na only you know ur problem and how sincere you are ) Lie number 3: jehovah's witnesses dnt do age specific programs . If they want to talk about youth, they talk about yought to everyone and not only invite youths. Jehovahs witnesses protect themselves from lies like this by adhering to specific procedures while preaching . If you are not one and u pretend to be one, it will be glaring under 5mins that you are a liar. jehovah witnesses dnt shout, they dnt just start talking to a locked door like ur story portrays(for u said u heard there voice preaching and shouting while u never open the door when they knocked). So its either ur story is based on lies and made up in an atempt to discredict them or that the people who came to ur door are not witnesses of jehovah |
BuddahMonk:I now fully understand you. And I think I can grasp the reason behind ur statements . I'm sorry for disturbing you sir . |
GBTYO:Ur re just wishing, u dnt have tangeable facts or ideas to back it up. U did not even bring up any explanation to counter my statement and ur statements are based on ur emotions. Sir dangote is building infrastructures and expanding his biz structure on the sw cus his intelligent brain has told him that that area is the best and safest area to do it. Wateva the outcome of the splitting , he knows he is safe among the yoruba. |
GBTYO:Those nightmares of urs will only remain nightmares. 1. The west has more international clout than rest of naija combined 2. U re not even sure if the delta ibos will go along with the east talk less of ijaws(who have shown u who they support in the past) or the itsekiris and benins (who have yoruba ancestry) 3. The west have a mode of government that I'm time past have been successful and adjudged to be very good by the foreigners when they came. It was so good that it was adopted by them when they ruled nigeria. 4. The west dnt do unnecesssary coups or like to fight just for fighting sake or to show u re strong cus its not the best method and nothing good comes out of it. 5. Isis can't get out of syria as a goverment, talk less of being in the north . |
BuddahMonk:We are disscussing issues that might never come up with opinions we dnt fully understand and you are already Making derogatory statements! Haba! Sir, look at mordern structures built by house owners in the west, they use mordern building materials and still most dnt go beyond the first floor. If the issue has been materials , then mordern materials must have caused mordern houses to rise higher. But in reality, mordern houses still maintain their preference for horizontal expansion to vertical expansion, why? Because there is space. Now to issue of issue of mud houses and lack of building intelligence. Yorubas have long leaned how to build homes for themselves using locally sourced materials that enable them to put up structures they can successfuly reside in. Until external influences (foreigners)came into play. Yorubas built homes and not houses for showcase things. Only public structures are mostimes bigger. Does that method show lack of building inteligence? Nop. It is cost effective and some still last till today. Even till today, some houses in the most developed country(U.S)still use wood(locally sourced material ).also that method provided all with the ability to provide homes for themselves at Little cost. To me , this is called organized community and intelligence. Q: the high rises in the east, when where they built? Where where the materials sourced, and how where the easterners building houses before foreigners came ? Now to the issue of living conditions . When a group of people try to develop their environment and suddenly, there is very high and continual influx of of people that the local authorities cannot deal with, What do u think will happen? . What do u think will happen to the poor living in such areas. Google Hong Kong and its poor to see how they are living due to influx of migrants. You find every tribe living in those structures u mentioned above. Q: what do you think will happen in the east if it experiences the influx the west is still experiencing ? On population control . Polygamy is no longer trending in the west. Giving birth out of wedlock is not a culture. In Yoruba land , parents do not support abortion and encourage the girl to have the baby why? 1)cus there is space expand 2. Yorubas still generaly view that if they where allowed to manage their own government. There can be free education, reduced cost of feeding, available space to build homes, that children born out of wedlock can be educated and become useful to society. Marriage should not be expensive . If two people love each other and want to do so , they should be guided and helped. Ur generalization of Yoruba youth is wrong. Or are u saying that easterners dnt have children out of wedlock or the women dnt sleep with men, or they dnt divorce? Easterners marry late mainly due to the expensive nature of marriages among them. My friend eze was not ok for weeks after his girlfriends family gave him the list . He would (like others) have loved to marry early. If the country splits the Yorubas can afford to marry early and have many children cus there is space and many social services will be free. If it splits , the east will have an immediate land prob due to present population and not future pop caused by birth rate. You can only maintain ur pop if families have less or equal to 2.1 number of children on the average. Q: do u think an igbo man will allow the government set up a law stopping families from having 2 children or less?expecially when he feels he could take care of them ? |
BuddahMonk:Why do you think that ibadan and kano has bungalows and one story buildings ? Answer , cus there is space . You dnt cramp urself when you have space. So its not poor land management. In the area you said people build 3 or four storied apartments, why do they do so? Answer , cus there is no space. Let's look at ur solution . Do you think an igbo man will agree to any birth control method? Plssss. He has 3 female children and you tell him not to try to see if the 4th will be a male. Now to land ownership. Would you as a family head with children , who has some few plots of land agree to give someone who has been forced to go back home part of ur family land cus government want you to. Unless the government is military, such government that suggest such will be voted out by the people who had stayed home and acquired family lands. Probably you dnt know the issues with building many high rise. Do u think the roads(in its present state) will support high population density ? If a 5 storied building is put on a small space, where will people park their cars, on the streets? And we have not even looked at erosion and availability of agricultural land . All these probs are not insumountable but the fact is that if there is any slight mismanagement of the rich resources , the resultant effect will be catastrophic. |
DesChyko:Issues you dnt have ideas about, you direct ur advisers and ministry related to such issues to give you advise. Abi wetin the advisers dey for? . The one you know or have ideas on, eg weda u talk with person on phone or not. You act immediately!, before issues turn to something else. I'm not suprised , I heard he said that the reason he did not stop obj from Lying against him not seeking second term is that his main aim is the pdp tiket. I might bet that if the morrocans have not talked and acted, he too would have kept quiet about those using his name to lie. Now they are setting up an investigation for an issue that can just take 24hrs to know who lied and why. Bet they will now set up a committee to look into the result of the investigation, and later now set up another committee to look onto how to implement the result of that committee. meanwhile nigerians will legit biz in morroco will be suffering over someone lies . |
DesChyko:A man with a good moral standing , knowing fully well how people will take false words said about him by his associate or people working under him, will quickly dissociate from such statements . And if such statements are becoming many, he will take necessary actions to stop such actions from taking place in the future . Jonathan cannot tell nigerians that he did not know about the statements hours after the statements was made. If by any means he does not know, and his advisers, special assistants , messengers and family did not tell him , then heads must role not only within the ministry but also among his own personal entourage. If people dnt get sacked because of these , then we will assume he knows or has been told and refused to take actions untill the whole thing has been blown up to this level. This scenario is then attributed to lack of leadership skills or inability to be a leader. Whichever way you look at it , lack of leadership got us into this embarassment of who in the goverment is really lying. |
agileson: |
If naija splits, its definitely not gonna be in 3 places. One there will be the problem of allocation of land space in which the present political geography cannot stop. The questions re 1 will the ijaws go with the southeast or form their own country with other states in the southsouth. 2. If the ijaws go with the southeast, will the ijaws in ondo go along with them, if the ijaws in ondo go with the southeast or south south, do you think the yoruba will agree to seed part of western nigeria because the ijaws own part of it? 3.if the ijaw people in ondo can go because Its their land and they can collectively decide which side to go, then I bet the same ideology/ method will be used for yorubas in kogi and kwara and edo state. And do you think the north and edo (that is if edo does not go with yoruba)will give that land away?. 4. Do you think the middle belt will follow the north ? That is like signing the death sentence. And do you think the north will allow the middle belt go like that?they will rather fight over it . So unless it splits into many countries, there will be war where the winner decides what will be shared and what goes to the 3 dominant tribes . Now let's look at what will happen after the problem of splitting into 3 have been solved. The north will happily go back to its backward state(they have been doing it for a while and are good at it). They will go bck to their agriculture and make sure (due to hatred of the east and south) that the south buy their products through their noses. Therefore the north will not be worse than it already is . The west will exploit its oil , expand its industries to go into agric exports to cover for its lost of revenue. New infrastructures like hospitals and roads does not have to be built immediately but old ones maintained. So the west will not be as rich as they where before ,but it will be alright . The west will probably still maintain its trading hub and still be a meeting point between the north, east and other west african countries. Now the east will be rich , both with money and a lot of other problems . They will have land problems, both for habitation and agric purposes. They already have erosion probs due to overuse of the land and will increase when most easterners migrate back to their homeland .if the money will be enough to solve the issue, we dnt know. They will have political probs as their are many political groups hustling for power, but I believe that their will be enough money to calm things down. They will have to rely heavily on food imports , expecialy the south , but money will be available to do that . |
Not sure bout details of child abuse, but as a body ,ones any serious sin is established against you , you re disfellowshiped and victims re encouraged to decide if they want to report to the authorities. And in any society(country , state etc) that requires a religious body to report issues of crime, they promptly do so. They dnt cover up sinners They have released hundreds of magazines and books teaching parents and children on how to protect their wards and themselves from peadophiles |

@op, what do u think about the reference he made to on his mother? |
