My personal oppinion: I do not think the main aim for releasing the tape is to stop the actors (those who where mentioned as speaking in the tape) from gaining political appointments under the present dispensation. I think the main aim is to get into the minds and thoughts of nigerians that the present government is morally currupt.
I feel the tape will be useless in the court of law(not sure) , but I also feel that the tape has done some damage , not to the actors, but to the its intended victim, which is the presidency.

I was disscusing with a group of friends and other people included, and we all agreed on some few things ,
(1)that the present administration is currupt morally. (which the tape has helped to butress)
(2) people dnt really trust buhari , but their choices are limited cus the present admin has failed them.

It is what jona used to climb so high(good morals, fraternizing with ordinary nigerians, social anmenities promises)that is being used to bring him downs.
And what a height he has fallen from as he has now has to use religious sentiments,tribal affliations to regain political support.

I am not in support of anyone , I dnt trust buhari. I'm just giving my view.

As I've explained earlier , the holy spirit is not a person.
1. Anytime any has a vision of heaven ,sometimes they see jesus , sometimes they see an image they term to be jehovah always sitting on a throne , and sometimes they see both of them but they dnt see the holy spirit .

2. Jesus sits on Davids throne, jehovah sits on the heavenly throne, but the holy spirit does not have a throne .

3. When jehovah wants to speak to you , you sometimes see an expression of his presence, or you hear a voice, but he does not enter you . When jesus want to speak to you, you sometimes see an expression of his presence and sometimes you hear his voice , but he does not enter you.
The holy spirit mostimes fills u up , comes upon you to guide you .

4.If the holy spirit can be used for baptism like water, it can be distributed, it can enter and fill up a person , then I dnt think that it is a person.

5. The only begotten son of the almighty has a name,his name was not derived from any analogy but the bible specificaly and directly mentioned what that name is. The almighty himself has a name,his name was not derived from any analogy but the bible specificaly and directly tell us what his name is . Now pls does anyone know the name of the holy spirit, did the bible give holy spirit a name ?. I believe the answer is no cus holy spirit is not a person.

6. Jesus , while on earth, did not perform any powerful work until he was giving the holy spirit . Which he used in performing those powerful works .

7. One last thing to note is that mostimes in the bible , holy spirit is just expressed as "holy spirit" and the word "the" mostimes do not preceed " holy spirit".

Binb:
Birth pangs have nothing to do with any supposed original sin. My question to you, Do animals like goats, cows etc also suffer from birth pangs? If yes did they also eat of the fruit?

U missed what I was trying to bring out. Birth pangs existed before the sin, the difference is in the experiencing of birth pangs . The punishment states "I will greatly increase "and not "I will give you" to signify that birth pangs existed before but was not as painful.
Neally all animals , if not all give birth unassisted, and humans are known to be the one experiencing the most pains when giving birth, abi no be so ?
So dnt you think the increased birth pangs experienced by humans and mostimes even cause death if not professionaly assisted is a result of the statement made by God in the bible
So if God forgave them, why do humans have such birth pangs ?

Guy ,need ur addistance, downloaded soccom 3 from emuparadise to my phone and its about 900mb . Now I think before I can play it I have to unrar it twice. Now I have only 500mb of space left on my phone and anytime I tried to unrar it , it says no more memory space, is there a solution ?

And pls what's the best app to unrar files

@op, my question is, if God forgave them, why are women still having birth pangs and mestrual issues?

adeniyitheprof:
The following chart should help you see the two natures of Jesus "in action":

NUMBER 1:
As GOD: He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2, 11; 14:33)
As MAN: He worshiped the Father (John 17 )

For one, the scriptures never explicitly state that jesus has two natures .

Now let's look at ur scriptural proves

Mat 2:2
New International Version
and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it
rose and have come to worship him.

Douay-Rheims Bible
Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him.

Darby Bible Translation
Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.

Weymouth New Testament
inquiring, "Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his Star in the east,
and have come here to do him homage."

NWT
saying: “Where is the one born king+ of the Jews? For we saw his star[when we were] in the east, * and we have come to do him obeisance.”

As you can see ,(Matt 2:11 and 14:33 inclusive) not all bible translations used the word "worship" in those verses ,why? Explanations
Will be giving below

The issue here is the word that is being translated to "worship" by some translations , we will look at the word and also look at What the scriptures is really saying.

"A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature" says this about that Greek word : "used to designate the custom of prostrating oneself before a person and kissing his feet, the hem of his garment, the ground."
[Source - A Greek- English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature by Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich, Danker; Second
English Edition, Page 716, pub.
1979 in Chicago].


The act of bowing, kneeling, prostrating the body, or making some other gesture to betoken submission; or simply the paying of respect. It adequately translates the Hebrew hish·ta·chawah′ and the Greek pro·sky·ne′o in many cases.(u can make research on those words)
Hish·ta·chawah′ means, basically, “bow down.” (Ge 18:2) Such bowing might be done as an act of respect or deference toward another human, as to a king ( 1Sa 24:8; 2Sa 24:20; Ps 45:11), the high priest (1Sa 2:36), a prophet (2Ki 2:15), or other person of authority (Ge 37:9, 10; 42:6; Ru 2:8-10), to an elder relative (Ge 33:1-6; 48:11, 12; Ex 18:7; 1Ki 2:19), or even to strangers as an expression of courteous regard ( Ge 19:1, 2).

Abraham bowed down to the Canaanite sons of Heth from whom he sought to buy a burial place. ( Ge 23:7) Isaac’s blessing on Jacob called for national groups and Jacob’s
own “brothers” to bow down to him. ( Ge 27:29; compare 49:8.)
When men started to bow down before David’s son Absalom, he grabbed them and kissed them (2Sa 15:5, 6)

From the above examples it is clear that this Hebrew term of itself does not necessarily have a religious sense or signify worship. Nevertheless, in a large number of cases it is used in connection with worship, either of the true God (Ex 24:1; Ps 95:6; Isa 27:13; 66:23)
or of false gods. (De 4:19; 8:19; 11:16) Persons might bow down in prayer to God (Ex
34:8; Job 1:20, 21) and often prostrated themselves upon receiving some revelation from God or some expression or evidence of his favor, thereby showing their gratitude, reverence, and humble submission to his will.—Ge 24:23-26, 50-52; Ex 4:31; 12:27, 28; 2Ch 7:3; 20:14-19 ;

Bowing down to humans as an act of respect was admissible, but bowing to anyone other than Jehovah as a deity was prohibited by God. ( Ex 23:24; 34:14)

Obeisance in the Christian Greek Scriptures. The Greek pro·sky·ne′o corresponds closely to the Hebrew hish·ta·chawah′ as to conveying the thought of both obeisance to creatures and worship to God or a deity. The manner of expressing the obeisance is perhaps not so prominent in pro·sky·ne′o as in hish·ta·chawah′, where the Hebrew term graphically conveys the thought of prostration or bowing down.

Scholars derive the Greek term from the verb ky·ne′o, “kiss.”
The usage of the word in the Christian Greek Scriptures (as also in the Greek Septuagint
translation of the Hebrew Scriptures) shows that persons to whose actions the term is applied prostrated themselves or bowed down.— Mt 2:11; 18:26; 28:9.

As with the Hebrew term, the context must be considered to determine whether pro·sky·ne′o refers to obeisance solely in the form of deep respect or obeisance in the form of religious worship. Where reference is directly to God (Joh 4:20-24; 1Co 14:25; Re 4:10) or to false gods and their idols (Ac 7:43; Re 9:20), it is evident that the obeisance goes beyond that acceptably or customarily rendered to men and enters the field of worship. So, too, where the object of the obeisance is left unstated, its being directed to God is understood. (Joh 12:20; Ac 8:27; 24:11; Heb 11:21; Re 11:1 ) On the other hand, the action of those of “the synagogue of Satan” who are made to “come and do obeisance” before the feet of
Christians is clearly not worship. — Re 3:9.(take note of that verse and read it up in different translations )

Obeisance to a human king is found in Jesus’ illustration at Matthew 18:26. It is evident that this was the kind of obeisance that the astrologers rendered to the child Jesus, “born king of the Jews,” that Herod professed interest in expressing, and that the soldiers mockingly rendered to Jesus before his impalement.
They clearly did not view Jesus as God or as a deity. ( Mt 2:2, 8; Mr 15:19) While some
translators use the word “worship” in the majority of cases where pro·sky·ne′o
describes persons’ actions toward Jesus, the evidence does not warrant one’s reading too much into this rendering.
Rather, the circumstances that evoked the obeisance correspond very closely to those producing obeisance to the earlier prophets and kings. (Compare Mt 8:2; 9:18; 15:25; 20:20 with 1Sa 25:23, 24; 2Sa 14:4-7; 1Ki 1:16; 2Ki 4:36, 37 .)

The very expressions of those involved often reveal that, while they clearly recognized Jesus as God’s representative, they rendered obeisance to him, not as to God or a deity, but as “God’s Son,” the foretold “Son of man,” the Messiah with divine authority. On many occasions their obeisance expressed a gratitude for divine revelation or evidence of favor like that expressed in earlier times.—Mt
14:32, 33; 28:5-10, 16-18; Lu 24:50-52; Joh 9:35, 38 .


Now who made the statements in mat 2:2, the statement was made by astrologers from the east (probably Babylon ) who by their customs bow down to kings and offer him presents .

Consider some facts: The “wise men” were not what we would today call academics; neither were they kings. They were, as most modern English translations read, “astrologers.”
They engaged in a practice condemned in the Holy Scriptures. ( Deuteronomy 18:10-12)
Note that only these astrologers were reported to have “seen” the star. If the star had been an actual star, it would have been as visible as a beacon to the public in general.
But even King Herod had to ask them about the details of its appearance. This star guided the astrologers first to Jerusalem, to Herod, a mortal enemy of the future Messiah. He intended to kill the child Jesus.
Then the star shifted direction and led the astrologers south to Bethlehem where Jesus was, thus placing Jesus’ life in danger.
These facts give evidence that the star was from an evil source, most likely Satan the
Devil. The Bible describes him as using “lying signs and portents.” ( 2 Thessalonians 2:9)


To please dnt be confused about the word "worship to state jesus is God .

Nathan confroted David about his sins. To David’s credit, he did
not deny his guilt. He did not
lash out against the prophet
Nathan. He did not blame others
or offer excuses for what he had
done. Confronted with his sins,
David accepted responsibility,
saying: “I have sinned against
Jehovah.” ( 2 Samuel 12:13)
Psalm 51 shows the anguish of
his guilt and the depth of his repentance. He pleaded with
Jehovah: “Do not throw me
away from before your face; and
your holy spirit O do not take
away from me.” He believed that
Jehovah, in his mercy, would not
despise “a heart broken and
crushed” over sin. ( Psalm
51:11, 17) David continued to
rely on God’s spirit. While Jehovah did not shield David
from the bitter consequences of
his sin, he forgave him.

holy spirit belongs to God , it itself is not a God .

The Scriptures make clear
that the holy spirit is a force that God uses to accomplish his will.
When the angel Gabriel
announced to Mary that she
would have a son even though
she was a virgin, the angel told
her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son.” ( Luke1:35)
According to Gabriel’s
words, there is a link between
the holy spirit and the “power of the Most High.”
A similar idea appears
elsewhere in the Bible. The
prophet Micah said: “I myself
have become full of power, with the spirit of Jehovah.” ( Micah 3:
Jesus promised his disciples: “You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you.” ( Acts 1:
And the apostle Paul spoke of
“the power of holy spirit.”—
Romans 15:13, 19.
So, what may we conclude
from the foregoing? There is a
close connection between the
holy spirit and the power of God.
The holy spirit is the means by
which Jehovah exerts his
power. Put simply, the holy spirit is God’s applied power, or his active force. And what a force that is! We cannot comprehend the power needed to create the entire universe. Through the prophet Isaiah, Jehovah suggested that we reflect on the following: “Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them
even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing.”—
Isaiah 40:26.
Thus the Bible indicates that
the universe in all its order and
harmony exists thanks to the
“dynamic energy,” or power, of
Almighty God. Clearly, God’s
active force is immense, and our own existence depends on it.
Holy spirit pours forth from
Jehovah in limitless supply. It is God’s power in action.
God’s holy spirit is endlessly versatile. Jehovah can use it to carry out any purpose that he has in mind. Aptly, then,
in the Bible, God’s spirit is
figuratively called his “finger,” his “strong hand,” or his
“outstretched arm.” (Luke 11:20; Deuteronomy 5:15; Psalm 8:3 ) Just as a man
might apply his hand to a wide
range of tasks requiring varying degrees of strength or finesse, so God can use his spirit to accomplish any purpose—such as creating the infinitesimal atom or parting the Red Sea or enabling first-century Christians to speak in foreign tongues.

The holy spirit is not a person , its an active force.

Before coming to earth, the only-begotten Son of God knew of the prophecy: The Spirit of the LORD will rest
on him-- the Spirit of wisdom
and of understanding, the
Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and
fear of the LORD--( Isa. 11:2) Jehovah’s words came true. The Gospel record states
what happened immediately
after Jesus’ baptism: “Now
Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned
away from the Jordan, and he
was led about by the spirit in the wilderness.” (Luke 4:1)

Key words : full of holy spirit (some translation use "filled with holy spirit"

It was after jesus was filled with holy spirit that he perfomed all the powerful works and wise counsels that he gave .

The holy spirit is a powerful active force able to reside in a person , and not a person .

Ernieman:
Just as God is a triune beign, Man also is triune in Nature..Remeber God breathe into man and he became a living SOUL. Now, let's go back to the days of creation when God made man. The Bible says God made man out of the dust of the earth, He practically moulded man, made all the shapes and curves, and gave man a definite shape and at that point, man was inanimate, he was without life, he was immovable AND worthy of note is that when it was time to make man, GOD said let 'US' make man....meaning God the (Father, Son and Spirit) came together and deposited into man their respective DNAs...and he became a living soul. That 'Breathe' is the SPIRIT of man while the moulded dust is his BODY, Now the SOUL is the real man, this soul is where man's intellect, his mind and emotions dwell. Let me try and break it down.

Man is a SPIRIT, He has a SOUL and lives in a BODY

The BODY: this is the part of man that is composed of the five senses; hear, smell, feel, sight and taste. With the body, man is able to survive or thrive in this material world, he is able to interact with his environment and relate with his likes. The body gives the soul shape, it houses the soul and make it tangible...that is one can feel his body.


The SPIRIT: The spirit of man is the part of man that enables him to relate with the spiritual realm. Please note the difference here, the spirit of man is a direct opposite to the body of man. While the body of man gives him the ability to relate with his material world, his spirit gives him the ability to relate with the spiritual realm. God said those that worship must worship me in SPIRIT and in TRUTH....God was refering to the spirit of man. It is only with the spirit that one can discern what God is saying or revealing to his people. And please note, Ideally, the spirit of man and his body are always at par, they are always not on thesame page......hence, the soul.


The SOUL: This is man himself...and this is the part that lives forever, unlike his body that returns to dust (Dust to Dust), this one lives forever. The soul is composed of the mind, the heart and conscience. The spirit and The body has great influence on the soul of a man, they determine the destiny of the soul, here on earth and even in eternity.

I recommend you read this book titled: 'The Spiritual Man' by Watchman Nee...You will get more insight about the nature of man and how these parts are related.

The way some people twist religion baffles me a whole lot, there are many of her type out there .

The question is , does her method work?

Will the children killed go to heaven or hell. ?

I think if her method works, then those children will be in heaven, and if it does not work , hell. Right?

@ empiree, the jesus under discussion is different from the jesus in the koran, the jesus discussed pre-existed before coming to earth. The jesus we are discussing is the one the scriptures told us about, not the one written by a man who plagiarised different books , who mis- applied the mosaic law and who revealed prophesies in direct relation to his desires and circumstances.

Unless you are ready to use our scriptures as the bases for these discussion , ill still say this discussion does not need u in it .

Now my questions still stand.
Is jesus the father.?
Are they the same person ?
What is trinity ?
Is the statements attributed to the bible verse mentioned by the op true or false?

@ empiree , why are you here? You dnt believe in the scriptures (bible) and the jesus u know is different from the jesus being discussed here. So pls dnt bring the koran into this ( enough killing done by that book already, and we dnt want that here) .

Now to trinitarians ill like as ask the questions
What is the trinity .?
. Is jesus the father?
Are they the same?

Is 1 john 5:7 saying jesus, father and holy spirit bear witness in heaven part of the original manuscripts?

They don't, if they did... Jesus' salvation work would apply to them too. But God so loved the world of men that he gave Jesus. We are special to God because we are a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body.

1. Animals dnt have a spirit?
2 if you are a spirit inhabiting a body, when did the habitation start, when did you enter ur body? When you came out of the Womb? When you where still in the womb ? When you became an embryo?, or when you still be spermatozoa?.
3. Are you consious before the habitation , if yes , tell us about it. If no , why?

Kedam:
Do animals have a souls or not ? Its simple make ur research. When it comes to animal, spirit is an exception I already stated it clearly if that's ur point.

1.If u are a Christian , pls read ecl 3:18-20 and Gen 7 : 22 and then comment.

2. What is a soul?
3. Is there anywhere in the bible that states directly that man was given a soul.
