BERNIMOORE: emphasis here too can be misleading,
I'm sorry the emphasis cover thine own self I suppose to inserted it after thine own self.

the same book of john 17:22, this time verse 20-22 the same glory was extended to believers,
Ofcourse that's the major mission of Jesus Christ to reconcille us to God so that we can see the glory of God.


maybe the use of the word glory here means 'unity in purpose'!
Maybe, but to me the glory of Jesus who He has with the Father before the foundation of world differ from the one God gave Him as reconsillation to Himself.

so what you mean now is 'Gods utterance word of his mouth' if that is the case that Gods 'utterance word of his mouth only become a flesh in the person of Jesus
Yes sir!

then whose word was heard in Very LOUD when jesus was baptised, telling people "This is my Son" and listen to jesus? here is the account,below
The voice of God. The WORD only became flesh (not that God ceases to speak) and has every attributes of God Himself because God's word is also God.



before we attach God with a concept 'Omni-potent', is that word 'Omni-potent' ever found in the bible?
Is not as the word of BIBLE was not found in the scripture. But you can't compare infinite being with that human which is the basis of finding God by our forefathers
someone whom the whole worlds was framed by His word(Jesus) so that things we seen i.e sand, water, air e.t.c was not made from things which do appeared" Heb 11:3 Infact He is more than Omni-potent self.

yes God is the most powerful but his extents should not be by qualified using words not found in the bible.
So you mean God is limited in power?


The word only became flesh. If you speak ones does it mean you can't talk again/are you speaking ones since you were born? If you have power to change your word into something, does it mean you won't talk again?


Shalom!

BERNIMOORE: like is descriptive or a parrallel, ok jesus himself says this below, not because he is human but has always been loyal to carry out instructions of his father
John 5:30 "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
He must receives commandment from God because He has become a flesh.

then why should you say that fallen angels are not God sons when bible says they are, see it now;
No where in the Bible fallen Angels was called sons of God.

Gen 6:2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
Theses are human being not fallen angels.

Jude 1:6-7 “And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, andgoing after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
@BERN pls always notice the words in the Bible especially the way sentence has been constructed...no offence pls.

The beginning of verse 7 made it clear of the point the writter tried to bring out here....with the adverb 'EVEN'. This is another place you'll misuses this Word 'EVEN'. The Sin being commited by these fallen Angels is liking to what happened in sodom and gomorrah not referring to Angles as sons of God because you link it with that Gen. 'EVEN (excatly) as' notice this word anytime you come accross it in the Bible. It's just simple English.

Itsfacts: Emusan go to page 8 and read for insight of the situation Ben put barrister.
Thanks I actually following this tread from beginning. I show face again because @BERN misunderstand Gal 4:14. And I believe he can see truly that the verse is not pointing to Jesus an Angel.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Jesus, The Son Of God, Is NOT An Angel by Emusan(m):
BERNIMOORE: he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born
can you see that even before john was born, he was already filled with holy spirit as a messenger
Yes I see.
What I'm saying is if John's birth was prophesied in Malachi as a messenger which you believe all messengers are Angels because I can see that's your point that Jesus is an Angel. Then according to malachi John also must be an Angel because he's a messenger promise to come. That's why I let you to know that be a messenger doesn't necessarily mean Angel but sometimes someone to fulfilled a certain obligatory. Do you agree?

jesus, who do not need to be refilled again with holy spirit-to-serve on earth like john
I know because He(Jesus) lives inside the Holyspirit.

[b]isaiah 42;1-6

42 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him;He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles


I have shown you how Jesus can be called a servant in other tread.

As Luke redefine the prophesy of Malachi, likewise Jesus has redefined His own prophesy of God puting His own spirit on Him.

John 5:26 "For as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He(Father) given to the Son to have life in Himself" Emphasis added...here Jesus make it clear that He(Jesus) didn't has life before when He was with God as His WORD...notice the phrase "Hath He given".

6 “I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the Gentiles
,

Anyway statement of God here is a future reference term with this modal verb 'will' given to Isaiah.

God was talking to Jesus right there in the heaven
No! He was talking to a prophet

Behold! My Servant when jesus was still in the heaven in pre-human spirit form jesus already possesed the holy spirit of service as a servant/messenger while in heaven, see the use of word here..in verse 1;
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles
Explain above.


[quotept]this isaiah in old testament says it all that jesus has been Gods servant from the heaven
Explain again.

what do you have to say about this?
That Jesus is the Spoken-word of God and the WORD is also God.

Now in that Malachi 3:1 I know you believe that it is God who is speaking then check this statement: Mal 3:1 "BEHOLD, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before ME: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to HIS temple,......"

*Who is that ME? Remember this ME that is come is still the same one who is speaking.

*Whose LORD did these people seek, that will come suddenly to His temple? Please answer.

BERNIMOORE: you are including the universe now, lets keep to the world first,
World as in? World is also universe.

God DID not start his own existence with the beggining of the world,
Confirm! I totally agree with you.

while jesus always mark his own existence with 'when' or during the 'time' the world's or earth or human's beggining.
No! Even your next statement refutes this. In John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with you (together with yourself) thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was(before time start). Emphasis added.

'when he streched the mountains, i was there' or 'before abraham was'
This indicate that Jesus was with God before Universe begins.

are you saying that God will be helpless or miserable without his son?
You'll get it better by replacing 'His Son' with 'His Word', my answer is NO! because He created everything by His Word Heb 11:3. And this WORD only become a flesh in the person of Jesus.

assumptions on hold for now pls
I didn't but that's the way it is.

in 1you told him "help me get a plate of rice with two meats" your Bro will do according to the command received from you so following command does not mean that you are 'sent'? i dont understand
Following a command shows that you're sent, that's why Jesus always refers to His Father.

when someone is in a position to issue a command, then the person is in a position of authority, im i correct?
Absolutely, you're correct.

how can a mere 'word of mouth itself' perform a task? that is how i understand it pls
Then you're limiting the attribute of God 'Omni-potent' and the is how you will know that God is not like a human.

How possible for a virgin to conceived?
How possible for denser body float on water?
How possible for lifeless body after three comes back to life without decomposed. All this are question our finite knowledge need answers to about All powerful God.

if Gods word is like a messenger here, is it to himself or to another one's authority?
To God Himself, but your word is also you and nobody can seperate your word from you.

anything here can also include jesus the word himself, did he made himself? i need an answer pls
He is the spoken word of God.....All things was created through Him(Jesus) John 1:10 "He(Jesus) was in the world, and the world was made by Him(Jesus), and the world knew Him(Jesus) not"



yes, i agree too with that
Good, God turn His own WORD into flesh by sending Him into the world in a person of Jesus Christ John 1:14

OLAADEGBU: That is correct. As they rightly say: "Jesus is in the Old Testament concealed, and the New Testament revealed" but if we really study the OT we will see our Lord Jesus Christ revealed plainly.
You're absolutely right infact I use to run away from reading "Song of Solomon" but by the time it was revealed to me the love of Christ inside it, I love reading it now. Jesus was truely concealed in the OT.

BERNIMOORE: was jesus twice beggotten? answer pls
It's depend on what you mean by begotten, you mean born as a human or what?

the bible does not tell us that jesus was beggotten twice, if you have a verse that says that, show us now!
He was only beggotten when God spoke His word into Mary's womb. Jesus is the spoken word of God that's why He was with God BEFORE the foundation of the world (means when the universe and all his host haven't being at all)

his role; he was a servant,
As God spoken word.

1) Imagine you and your Jr Bro was in a room and you're feeling hungry and you told him "help me get a plate of rice with two meats" your Bro will do according to the command received from you.

2) Let's assume your Brother is not with you and you need that food, you then spoke into air "a plate rice with two meats come out" suddendly it appeared according to your command without moving an inch then you will realise that you only issue a COMMAND while your WORD performed the action.

3) Let's assume again your Brother isn't there and you decided not to talk what will happen, Nothing!

In 1, God didn't send anybody to do all the works of creations.

In 2, God didn't do it with His own rather He issue a command through His mouth and HIS WORD performed the actions according to His command....here God's word is like a messenger.....

In 3, Nothing will happen if God decided not to talk...that's why John 1:3 said "All things were made by him(the word); and without Him(the word) was not any thing made that was made" emphasis added. This is the reason why Jesus exists before the foundation of the world while Angels don't. John 1:1.

Finally, this God's WORD was only given a name when the WORD becam flesh....Emmanuel....God is with US.

I agree with all your quote.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Jesus, The Son Of God, Is NOT An Angel by Emusan(m):
BERNIMOORE: if the 2nd messenger refers to 'someone who will come' who is jesus, you will agree with me that jesus was still in the heaven when 'the mention of messenger' was used for him. true or false
Yes Jesus pre-exist His birth

and let me ask you another question who are angels? can you define and apply it to 1, john humans 2,jesus (still in spirit form) in malachi 3:1.
If we both agree that Angels are messengers, then the same thing applied to both John and Jesus because John wasn't born when Malachi was written.

we have instances when God himself visit humans in the bible, moses for example, and the people of istrealites of old. moses heard Gods voice coming from the fire he remove his sandals because where he stands was declared holy! because of Gods presence.

we also have instances where angels visit humans and were received promtly, in these two instances, will it not be derogatory for paul to use angel to describe his reception like jesus when he should have known that jesus is higher than angels? why does he strikes parrallel with angel and jesus? simply because of something they both shares, ANGELS ARE MESSENGERS by defination, so we have spirit angels and human angels, BUT there is nothing like angelic beign. separate from spirit beigns. and since angel is define messenger, it means the word angel 'is just a task' of either spirit or humans
No don't let us assume here, that passage strickly expressed the intention of Paul specifically with that adverb---EVEN that's why I quote from Amplified version just to show you that Paul didn't call Jesus an Angel in that verse.

He strikes parellel to Angels and Jesus because they have received Jesus as the Messiah,,,,this is what I'm try to explain in my previous post this is it again "Gal 4:14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even(exactly) as Christ Jesus." emphasis added, this verse(not the whole chapter) Paul was reference to how he was accepted into Apostleship. The EVEN there means 'exactly' check your Dictionary.

BERNIMOORE: friend, i believe that we can have wholesome discussion, and we can achieve that by avoiding destractors who if you chech the whole tread they have nothing to contribute than insult, so i have to give it back to their face.
Using caustic words is bad.

you are welcome, and you can judge for yourself when distractors will be barking
Thanks, we are here to share knowledge so there's no need to be bashing ourself.

so, before i comment, kindly have a say on these 4 bible verses below, it was not written by me
Ok, I did.

4 good bibles that says jesus is an angel,(angel of covenant) (malachi 3:1 ,..(1)dual rheims, (2)darby bible,(3)wyclyff and (4)Amplified bible)
I only read amplified version which gives more details about the verse you quoted but I always use KJV.

"Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and theLord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith theLordof hosts."KJV

This is how amplified put its own:
"Behold, I send My [a] messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the [b] Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts."

Footnotes:
a. Malachi 3:1 This is fulfilled in John the Baptist (Matt. 11:10; Mark 1:2; Luke 1:76).
b. Malachi 3:1The Messiah as God’s representative will confirm and establish the covenant (see Isa. 42:6).
At the footnote John baptist was the one who fulfilled the first statement while Jesus fulfilled the last. Now can we say John the baptist also is an angel? Thou amplified put or Angel in place of messenger. the B of the footnote clearified the doubt, means the MESSENGER in that verse simply refers to someone who will come and perform the obligatory.


My stance of show face again on this tread is when you said Apostle Paul called Jesus an angel in that verse. Gal 4:14 which is not so; 1) the conjunction word in btw the two phrases used as an adverb is EVEN. So check the mean of this word. And see how amplified put it whether I'm wrong or not; Gal 4:14 "And [yet] although my physical condition was [such] a trial to you, you did not regard it with contempt, or scorn and loathe and reject me; but you received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus [Himself]!

BERNIMOORE: bolded above, how does God beget/begotten or 'born' jesus?
He spoke His word into Mary's womb and the word became flesh John 1:14

pls read my comment regarding beget in my opening post, was jesus beget through intercouse?
No!

if not then jesus is not begotten by default, angels too exist through the same way that jesus exist.
He is, but angels are not with God before the foundation of the world.



so angel that appeared to john in the new testament is carrying out his task under law? you are funny, there is NOTHING that concerns spirit angels with humans law covenant, they are servants of God the same way that jesus was a servant.
As per Bible give me the role of Jesus when He was in heaven.

BERNIMOORE: king james version

Galatians 4:14
. .. but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. paul directly call jesus 'angel of God' what again?
This is how you people misinterprete the Bible, Paul's statement here is as simple as ABC

received me as an angel(messenger) of God, even as (the way they received Christ Jesus), not as Jesus as an angel

14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

Here Paul was talking about his reception into descipleship as they received him as an angel even the way they received Jesus. WE CAN SAY WITH FAITH because of what Saul-Paul did in the past.

where do you see 'the fallen one in the whole bible? why manufacturing things not existing in the bible in the first place? tell me now! if im lying quote a verse that says 'fallen one'

what we have is;fallen angels, NOT Fallen one, do you agree?
Bro I believe with simple term you should've understood my point there "not the fallen one" still referring to the thing I'm talking about Angels hmmmmmmmm.

through him, and NOT his own volition
Yea from Father

he still acts like secretary there following the boss commands

JMAN05: Hellooooo. That they may be in US. It is just like Jesus said the father is in me,
So to you what did Jesus mean when He said my Father is in me, and I in Him?
why wont you call that a reconciliation?
Is that not reconcillation?

You see the double standard I am talking about?
I see.

Verse 22 says “that they may be one EVEN AS we are one.
Always look at the purpose of every words. When Jesus said they are not of the world EVEN as I am not of the world, what does it mean?

Did you see the clear analogy there? Abeg spare me that double standard.
I see.

The word means what Jesus said it is not these your double standard. So it is not longer 3 in 1 but 15 in one or more than that.
We are all one in Christ infact not 15 again more than thousands in one.

View it the way you view others.
View it also.

My stance on Trinity is this:
*Father-God Himself.
*Son-The spoken-word of the Father who God(Father) sent into the world in flesh in person of Jesus Christ.
*HolySpirit-The Spirit of Father Himself.
So these three are one 1John 5:7

You can quote me wrong if all these are not support by Bible.

JMAN05: just like they were sure in luke 22:70.
that He was the Son of God.

just like Jesus compared these oneness to the same thing the disciples will receive? john17:22.
I have tried to put more light on this.

I or another person can equally say so of me and my father, if i look much like him.
You can say so but there must always be a little different as human which doesn't give 100% guarantee of your statement.

these mindset may have led them to find fault with whatever he said so as to implicate him. of course no charge was found in him that could have condemned him to death as pilate said.
Remember not only that they disagree with Him or just looking for a fault with Him but just to be sure whether HE IS THE MESSIAH also because they believe the messiah must totally different from what ordinary human being can do/be.
They asked Him "how long hast thou make us to doubt, that you're the messiah?....." Again when there was an argument btw them they said "even if Messiah comes can he do more than what this Man(Jesus) is doing?" meaning the messiah must have been a very special one.


he accepted he was God almighty?
No where in the Bible you'll ever see such from Jesus. But no one can seperate you from your WORD.

a) oh! your translation called it devil?
Yes sir! KJV

b) so Jesus is a samaritan since never rejected it.
Get me right I mean for Him to reject being a devil He should've rejected it immediately when they challenged Him of "being a man but making Himself God"

c) I ask you, did Jesus say "yes I am God almighty"? rather he said I am son of God. that was a direct answer too.
He first said you're gods! By quoting psalms.

secondly I ve shown you that I and my father are one doesnt prove trinity
Depend on how you reason with my two perspetives "Devinity challenge & Prayer for His desciple"

as Jesus used similar words to show his disciples that there relationship will be as the one he has with his father, namely by saying they will be one as they are one.
He also said they are not of the world as He is not of the world.

Jesus and so what? of course God created things through his son Jesus. after he was created john1:15.
Bro reason well, in Gen account we read "And God said let there be" at the beginning of all the creations and "there was" at the end of them except man. If God now created worlds through Jesus after He(Jesus) was created how then God command all creations to come into existence Himself? Heb 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Here if the WORD of God created the universe then you contradict yourself by saying God created it through Jesus. It will only work when you agree that Jesus is the spoken word of God afore mention by emusan.

JMAN05: I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
doesnt that statement indicate that they misunderstood his position?
Initially His statement was cleared "I and my Father are one". They really understood Him and Jesus also made it clear when He said "My Father is in me, I in him" that He meant what He said because they believe Jesus Christ always teaches with Authority/makes the final statement not someone who begs for answer which resorted to the last stone.

which clause?
Like carbon copy which is not original.


Just like they were sure that Christ means God almighty in luke 22:70?
Good! My question now is; why the Jews don't want to hear Jesus calling Himself 'the Son of God'?
Remember you said Angels also are sons of God.

did he accept it? what did he rather say, I am God almighty or Son of God?
He also accepted it when Peter confirmed Him as a Son of the living God.


the analogy does not match. find a positive one. however, he never said I have no devil.
Hmmmmmm
John 8:48-49 "Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.


He didn't deny Himself a samaritan but He quickly rejected being a devil. Even here He(Jesus) was even expecting them to honour Him the way they honour the Father. Jesus always answer the jews according to their question.

no. neither was Jesus the literal word of God.
Who is John 1:10 is talking about, Yeshua or Yehweh?

Lol. I await your double standard. whatever you say shall be compared with what Jesus said at John 10:30.
I did.

JMAN05: when he said he and his father are one, he was not stating oneness in personality or equality.
If only you can look at it this way then you'll grab the message.
In each cases two different things were been emphasysing on 1) John 10 in this chapter...Jesus was challenged about His devinity 2) In John 17 Jesus was praying for His desciple.

In 1) above when the Jews told HIM "you're a man but making thyself God" and before this time their first question was "...How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly." John 10:24. Jesus respond wakes these people raised the first stone to cast it on Him....He didn't deny it. Finally He said "....that the Father is in me, and I in Him" this reply makes it clear that Jesus didn't deny His first statement..."I and my Father are one"....then the jews sought to take Him but He escaped....If they misunderstand Jesus in His statement Jesus would've clearified Himself as a result of the first action by Jews.

In 2) Jesus was doing what we can call heavenly fulfilled message in His prayer i.e that is the purpose of His birth, death, and resurrection. In the whole chapter you will notice these; we read when Jesus said "And now I am no more in the world..vr11....a similar one again ....while I was with them in the world....vr12" when He hasn't died.... Jesus said in john 8:23 "...ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world" He repeated this same statement in His prayer by saying "They(His desciples) are not of the world, even as I am not of the world"vr16....He finalized everything in this way "That they(His desciples) may be one,(why would they be one?); because as thou, Father, art in me(Jesus), and I(Jesus) in thee(Father), that the also may be one in US(both the Father and Jesus)vr21---Here Jesus was talking about His fulfilment of His death by reconcile us back to God. The onesess Jesus christ is talking about here isn't just in agreement alone but in His fulfilment of His death, how? He said "I(Jesus) in them(His desciples), and thou(Father) in me(Jesus)vr23....."
If this chapter is not well attend to it may mean a literal word to you.

this is being one in agreement and working for a purpose,
Explain above

just like Paul said that 'he that planted and he that watered are one'.
Yes base on the way you view it.

BERNIMOORE: Im not arguing against jesus pre-existence brother, i believed that he pre-exist before coming to the earth among to be among 'the spirit sons of God' as the first of them, the question you should now answer is that;
Who was Jesus and His role when He was in heaven? Since you believe His pre-existence.

are angels 'sons of God'?
Not all Angels are the sons of God i.e the fallen one. We also became sons and daugthers of God through Him.


Who was this verse talking about;
John 1:10 "10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."
Yeshua or YHWH?

JMAN05: Yes. if i work in agreement with my father, I can say that we are one.
Bro go and read Bible well, anywhere the Jews challenge Jesus, He(Jesus) always gives them straight answer according to their question. They wanted to stone Him for saying "I and My Father are one". He asked them "why do you want to stone me?" they said "you're a MAN but making Thyself God" In Jesus' statement He didn't deny it.

I can even say that if you ve seen my father, you have seen me cos we work for the same purpose and he has entrusted me with the privilege of representing him.
There must be a clause in between.

again, those jews are just laying unreasonable accusation of what Jesus didnt say.
They are very sure about the question and reason to stone Jesus.

Jesus asked them why they accused him of blasphemy when he said he was God's son NOT God almighty.
Emphasis add Jesus didn't say God Almighty hmmm. He didn't deny when the Jews said "He was a Man but makes thyself God"

cant you see that in that verse?
Can't you see also when they told Him He has devil but He(Jesus) quickly refuted it that He has no devil.

when he said he and his father are one, he was not stating oneness in personality or equality.
Can anyone seperate you and Your word?

now was Jesus stating the obvious 15 persons in one at john 17:21-22
This is major controversy of you people. Explain later because of time.

FOLYKAZE: Anything that makes you feel good....do it
Not only that it makes me feel good but it's just a waste of energy because nobody wins.

lol....thats where religion comes in.... Talking God, angry, happy, love, walk, rest, hate, eat....or about pooing? Im sorry to say......that depiction of God is an invention from man's mind
As a pragmatic somebody if I have not proved God beyond human mind I won't say anything God's existence but I gave God time and He manifest Himself to me. I'm not a kind of people who claim existence God by mouth/what they told them/just believe by what they saw in nature/read in the Bible.

Did I tell you I do?
I'm sorry for that, but I inferred it from your point of view.

Lol......in a debate or lab?
It's even in the court with a price tag.

Food chain.....life is all about survival and fitness.....how about me eaten up, Is it allow too? Either by strong man or animal or maggots?
No it's not allowed because human's life if different from animals life. God gave human life from His own life while animals got their life according to His command.

Are you creating your own theology or following what in bible?
No I interpret Bible the way I understand it.

Your choice......Ecclesiastes 3:19-22 says otherwise
Ok!

It good to know you yoruba (you might trash Omo odua).
Ok

FOLYKAZE: Nothing like backside here. It face to face according to Exodus. Here is it
Exodus 33:11
King James Version (KJV)
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
It's advisable to read the whole chapter 33 then you will get the message. Not only Moses that was recorded in the Bible but if you understand that Chapter 33 then you'll get the rest including Moses 'face to face'. So Moses only saw the backside of God.


You quote john 14:23 which state clearly that those that follow Jesus love him and keep his commandment.....the person will be love by God and see God.
Yes which is true.


Many of Jesus commandment and rule dont tally with Moses law and action but moses saw God face to face
He(Jesus) is the who gave those rules beside we're not under the law again but under grace through Jesus' death.

FOLYKAZE: We cant agree on everything. Thats why I see this as fun.
Yes Bro.

Nothing to argue here....we can only make things clearer for ourselves.
I've stopped that over two months ago.

[b]God is the totality of force and energy in the universe. Energy is God......God is Energy
*Energy can't speak but God can speak.
*Energy doesn't have life but God is a Living Soul.
*Energy doesn't have conciousness but God has.
*Energy doesn't have Image but God has.
*Energy has only effect and not cause but God is both cause and effect e.t.c

Are you kidding me? You mean I need some scientist or group of people to tell me this is A before i agree it A?
They do an you accepted i.e evolution, big bang e.t.c

Bro...from the least I know, no evidence for afterlife
Victor Zamit a Freethinker chanllenged R. Dawnian on it (sorry no link or copy & paste again by this poster)
The same way I kill my chicken for christmas and eat it delicious flesh
Yes is allow.

I didn't see it ghost hunting me or returning to life.
They can't because their spirit returns to the ground while yours returns to the owner-God

Your bible said....animal and human are the same.
uba I disagree sir.

If Random could make me clearer...it will be good. Which thread was that?
Let's forget about it (because of the rule of copy and paste by this poster).

anything else from disbelief or absence of belief in god.
Ok

FOLYKAZE: If your bible should help....are you going to accept it?
Once it's from Bible I will but not to your own meaning.

""There is time for everything.....time to live and time to die. Out of the dust man came and dust man returns. Every man struggle is just chasing of wind...all is vanity.
You right but hope you read the last verses of that book to get writer's intent. Eccle 12:13-14 "13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."


I know my fate...that in the future, I will die and cease to exist.
Remeber there's an afterlife stop deluding your many scientists who are not creationist have proved it.

The best I can do is write my name in history and give it a surviving force for generations.
Folykaze holybook right.

To deal with your question.......I didn't choose to leave that state
Nice talk!

I was lucky among my billions mate when old man do that thing.
Now you believe in lucky! Remember a thread about 'LUCK' has been raised on this forum inwhich all atheist go against.

It was there choice not mine.
No! If it's true then all parent suppose to chose se.x child.

So I got here
where luck also prepared for you.

FOLYKAZE: How is it hard for your omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God to appear in the sky and show himself to mankind.
It's not difficult at all but He won't! because you don't love Him.

John 14:21-23 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and I will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him(Like Atheist-Folykaze), not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we(Jesus and His Father) will come unto him, and make our(Jesus and His Father) abode with him."


This will stop controversy and doubt about his/her existence once and for all.
Please let it continue and let us see who will loose either God or Atheist at the end of the day. God didn't beg anybody to serve Him.

If you ignore this and want to stick to your OP......it completely indicates that God is idea created by feeble mind
Yea! You even said you're a god. I'm for God always because Satan don't have anything in me so I stick with Holyspirit to my Op forever because God has manifested Himself to me.

ebamma: To the religious folks in the house,
what if after all the millions of naira tithes you paid, millions in offerings in church, prayers day and night, then you come to the realisation that judgement day will never come to know whether u are going to heaven or to hell cos there is no God, how will you feel?
By the time you beginning to build your logical reasons on imaginations then there'll be problems. God has been spoken to His people & manifest Himself to those who seeek Him deligently. If there's no God I'll be a liar like you. I'm not a Pastor but I have 100% evidence of God's existence. If we should beginning to pick it one by one on this forum hardly two or three Atheist will beat me when comes to SCIENCE, then am I brainwashed? everybody love science but the problems comes when you allow your fable mind to lead you astray from the truth.

You may say I'm brainwashed, if I tell you God can speak and manifest Himself but the question is Have you ever tried to find God in a way HE has said you can find HIM?

Logic and knowledge will cease one day and everyone will face AFTERLIFE, think beyond what you have been made to known about universe and God.

Shalom!
