DeepSight: Lol. I will not waste my time further with you. because I didn't provide scripture or what? |

DeepSight: Please specifically refer me to this -
"If you study scripture very well, The Father and Son begins the moment Jesus became part of Creation reason why the scripture says "...Today I have become your Father"
Verse? Ps 2:7 “The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your Father.'" Heb 1:5 - For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus: “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.” God also said, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son.” Read these verses objectively and see if Jesus had been the Son before coming to earth. |

DeepSight: Don't you think that is being clever by half? No! That's the truth from the scripture. Because what do thinks like "begotten by God" and "at the right hand side of God" mean? Begotten by God of Jesus Christ happened on earth, that is why the scripture says "THIS DAY...I have begotten thee"If you study scripture very well, The Father and Son begins the moment Jesus became part of Creation reason why the scripture says "...Today I have become your Father"About sitting at the right hand of God is simply because Jesus mission hasn't ended, so it's part of when Jesus became part of Creation. In fact, one of the verses you posted emphasized on this when it says “Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.” - 1 Corin 15:28Pay attention to the @underlined. Why must God be ALL IN ALL not until the Son is subjected to the Father? This simply means, until the mission of the Son is complete These are outside creation and yet they show that he is NOT GOD. No! They're absolutely when He became part of the Creation. |

DeepSight: Well here they are. I have reposted them several times since I first listed them on this board 12 years ago. Can you go at them one by one - rather than do what most people do by simply broadly waving them aside and proceeding to cite verses they think suport the deity of Christ.
-----------------------
D1 - I Tim. 2:5: - For there is one God, and one Mediator of God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus Christ”
D2 - John 14:28 – “I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I”.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me."
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. 9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
D9 - John 20:17 – “Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”

I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 “And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”
6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 “Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 “For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me."
D 11 - Mark 13:32 - “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
D12 - Acts 2:22 – 24 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 “Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken[b] by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 “whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
D13 - Luke 22:41 - 42 – “41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” (The Prayer in Gethsemane).
D14 - John 8:40 - “But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.”
D15 - Luke 23:32 - 34 – “There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
D16 - Matt 21:33 – 42 “33 Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. 34 “Now when vintage–time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. 35 “And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.
36 “Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. 37 “Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 “But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ 39 “So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?”
41 They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’
(The Parable of the Vineyard)
D17 - Matt 27:45 – 46 “45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
D18 – Mark 16:19 – “So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.” [And all other scripture which refers to Christ as sitting at the Right Hand Side of God, including Psalm 110:1, and all similar scripture in the Book of Revelation].
D19 - John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. [Only Begotten Son - "Monogenes" - and all other verses in scripture where the term "monogenes" i.e: "only begotten" is used].
D20 - Deuteronomy 6:4 - "Hear o Isreal, the Lord our God, the Lord is One."
cc:
Tctrills Boomark Even though this has been addressed many times both here and other places what I want to point out is: Bible speaks sparingly about Jesus before becoming part of Creation and majorly after became part of Creation. The ability to distinguish this from the HOLY Scripture already solved this. |

You're singing his praises now even on with this post and you see the attached screenshot where you boldly called him thief. Still i have graciously accepted on my general mindset about politicians. The general mindset came because you want to save face. When you called him thief, you didn't generalized it. There's nothing to deny or accept, it's your issue not mine. Of course, it isn't an issue for you because the conscience is dead President Bola Tinubu is a performer and the best president Nigeria has ever had. That's my opinion and choice, if you are not happy about it, read a book. Get well soon. Thank God it's your opinion and not on any metrics. Even Devil has a choice!

Image123: i said my default mindset, meaning my history and posts go in the direction. If you or anyone says all politicians are thieves, fine. It's not something i want to defend, what i usually defend is the performance, not the sainthood of politicians. You keep jumping around and this is very bad. You're the one who said ALL POLITICIANS ARE THIEVES not me. You're the one who later said MOST POLITICIANS ARE THIEVES not me. The reason I quoted you on this thread was very simple, you sang the praises of someone you once boldly called THIEF even when this thread has nothing to do with Tinubu. At first you wanted to deny it but only to come for saving face by saying "ALL POLITICIANS ARE THIEVES" They are not pastors or the church. i will generally and easily agree with you on that line, i am not a court or efcc. Talk performance or go read a Bible verse. Since you're not a court or EFCC, how do you know those politicians are thieves and can you name those who the court or EFCC had declared as thieves? Let me reiterate, I never claimed any politician is a pastor or church. My point on this thread is, how do you start singing the praises of someone you once boldly called THIEF? You're the one who knows the reason of bringing RELIGION OR SAINTHOOD into this when I never mentioned anything related to that. |

Image123: i have always maintained that politicians are thieves. i have always had that mindset, it didn't come up because of you or Tinubu. My default mindset, which hasn't been proven wrong, is that politics is a dirty game and that most politicians are either thieves or occultic. The landscape has changed slightly but i stick with my general view. i will continuously take a working thief over a saint acting thief that has nothing to offer. It is not my fault that that hurts and haunts you. Take my advice and stick to religious discuss. See how you keep changing mouth. From ALL POLITICIANS are thieves to MOST POLITICIANS thieves and even occultic. I love the second @underlined. In a nutshell, you agree you're supporting and singing the praises of thieves. |

Image123: Take my good advice, there's still a long time to go on this wails. Now you can't deny calling him thief. You can't deny you didn't sing his praises But to save face you have to come through corners by saying ALL POLITICIANS ARE THIEF yet still singing the praises of the same politicians who are THIEF. |

Truthseeker10: Explain 1 Corinthians 14:16, 17 below.
New International Version 16. Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?
17.You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified This verse is self explanatory. This is when the whole church are praising God or the speaker is addressing the people. Verse 19 explained this better: "But in a church meeting I would rather speak five understandable words to help others than ten thousand words in an unknown language." |

gohf: it's not that information is not available, even if we go from google to ai, some will still love and prefer ignorance. Let's the challenge begins. Let's involve AI & Google to see if your claim is true. Transcendence refers to the state of rising above or going beyond ordinary limits, whether physical, material, or mental. And this means God doesn't transcend all limits, right? |

God's transcendence means that God is distinct from, superior to, and independent of the created universe, existing beyond its limitations of space, time, and understanding.

cutecommend: Speaking in tongues recklessly; whether at home, in church, while leading prayers e.t.c is not good. You should speak in tongues rightly, always, but not frivolously. When You Should Not Speak in Tongues:
(1) During Prayer for Repentance: if a person or group of persons are praying a prayer of repentance for sin, backsliding, disobedience e.t.c. It is wrong to speak in tongues at such times; rather, a clear confession of sin & request for forgiveness from God should be made. I got part of this insight from a clergy.
(2) During Prayers in Secular Places: If you are told to lead prayers in a political gathering, national centres, office, general places e.t.c. It is not a time to show spirituality. It is a time to pray so that everyone understands. You can pray in tongues on your own.
(3) When Praying to God About Your Weaknesses, shortcomings, Character flaws: If you are speaking to God as a Father on your weaknesses, shortcomings, character flaws e.t.c, you are to tell God clearly about it & that he needs to help you get free. It is not really a time to blast in tongues. So you're the one who decides when to speak in tongues and not the work of The Holy Spirit again. |
