Your Interpretation i placed before you!



So you are to tell me the reason why God will terminate all things! smiley
He didn't say He will terminate all things. He said He is the terminal for all things. He things say 'I'm going to end all things.' He said 'I am the end of all things.:'

Good question and that goes to your guy who sensed the fact in that verse!

In the beginning after God created it all He declared that everything was good. Genesis 1:31
The creature who initiated evil was one of God's heavenly sons. Isaiah 14:12
So God Himself declared to Isaiah that He formed light and create darkness peace and create calamity. Isaiah 45:7

So when He called Himself the beginning and the end He is assuring us that what He promised regarding the end of badness is not beyond His capability because He created all things both that has become good and those that has turned to evil so He will end evil.

That's the import of beginning and the end of course God doesn't have a beginning nor end but as for badness it has a beginning which God knows and it will surely end through Him! Psalms 37:9-11; Isaiah 11:9; Revelations 21:4 smiley
Balderdash!

That's Statement was literal. Not open to any satanic interpretation.

He said He is the Beginning and the End. The Alpha and the Omega. The One who created or started all things, and the One who will one day bring all things to an end. All things started in Home and will end in Him. He is the starting point and the finishing point of all things.

Gabrielshow24:
He should explain how the "evil" he claims to be the right context, begins and ends with God😂!

Let me spell it out for him, for I know he is slow!
He is insinuating evil "began with God" and also "ends with God" 👀. Which is something a liar will say.
He is a deceiver, my brother.

Maxindhouse, come and tell us how God is the beginning and the end of evil!

So are you saying all things including you will be TERMINATED forever? smiley
Please go ask your kindergarten kid this question.

What exactly is wrong with you receivers? Where in that scripture did God say will begin or terminate anything?

You are deceiving yourself! cheesy

God said He is the BEGINNING and END so what begins and ends with God? smiley
Deceiver!

God didn't say He's was begun and will be ended.

He said He's the beginning and the end of all things.

If English is worrying you, God says He is the Start and the Finish of all things. The source and the termination of all things.

Continue hitting your head on the brick if God doesn't have a beginning or end then something is wrong with what you are saying! smiley
Deceiver!

God does not have a beginning or end. He's the beginning and end of all things!

He said 'I am the Beginning..."

So my interpretation stands as you don't even know the meaning of that statement:

"The beginning and the end"
Deceiver!

That statement is self explainatory and needs no interpretation! The same statement appears in Isaiah 44:6 and requires no further interpretation other than what the statement has said!

Ọmọ nah Jesus talk that one and Jehovah also said something similar {Revelations 1:8} both of them that knew the beginning of evil {Proverbs 8:22-30} and it's certain that only the two can say they will surely see the end of all badness that's the meaning of BEGINNING and END.

Evil began when all the angels (sons of God) were praising Him for a job well done regarding creation {Job 38:7} and Satan wasn't happy that all the glory belongs to One person he also wants such praises so he began scheming rebellion against God that was the beginning of evil.

Neither God nor Jesus will end it's evil that has a beginning and must also have an end as it's not part of God's purpose.
Hahaha!

Chai! Olaadegbu, how are you coping with these sets of people?

Someone said "I am the First and the Last..", Maxindhouse changed His statement to "I see the begining of evil and the end of evil." What type of devilry is this!

How is 'I am the first and the last' the same as , 'I see the begining and the end of evil'? All you devils will certainly have your days in hell except you repent! May the judgement of God fall on the stony heads of you deceivers!

GREATER WORKS is what Jesus said his disciples will do so if you can't find such then you have misapplied the scriptures period.
Meanwhile my own religion has done lots of greater works than Jesus did!
I will still tell you for the upteenth time that Jesus didn't say your religion will do greater works. He said 'you', not your religion.

And I've given you clues to where you'll see many individuals who have done many greater works as Jesus promised. It's a promise if Jesus and He has fulfilled that promise. Read the book 'God's Generals'. Or you wait for me to Livestream the manifestation of God's power towards atheists in the coming days.

What signs follow your religion? Where are the miracles of Christ in your congregations? Where is the proof of the anointing? Where is the power? The kingdom of God is not within you if you're simply doing what anybody can do.

Read again 1Cor. 4:19, Luke 21:17 and Acts 10:38!if you missed anything.

Was Jesus lying?

If not then mention the name of a human who has done more than what Jesus did period! smiley
My dear, I believe you can read and write English. If you really do, go and sit down to this discussion and see how disjointed to the discussion your request is.

Jesus said you would do greater works. If you're not doing greater works, it's either because you're ignorant or you're not a true follower of Jesus. Not because Jesus lied.

As I said earlier, I mentioned you for your education and not for argument. So, have a nice day.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Soyinka Believes In Traditional Yoruba Religion Against Christianity by GothamCities: 6:46pm On Jul 15, 2025
MaxInDHouse:
Guy i don't want useless arguments.

My religion has done GREATER WORKS than Jesus did but if you feel that's not what Jesus meant then present or mention any individual who has done it.

Perhaps you think Jesus lied if you can't point to any individual who has done that! cheesy
Guy, Jesus didn't say your religion will do greater works. Please be informed. Jesus said 'you' will do greater works. Not your religion. If you don't understand what I mean, take the book 'God's Generals' and read. Maybe you'll understand. Or wait for a time when I shall free up my table to start showing greater works to atheists by visiting their homes and having encounters streamed and posted to Nairaland. Perhaps you would understand.

Jesus described the signs that'll follow those who believe. To the best of my knowledge, the signs are not following you, neither are they following your so called religion.

Here's how Paul said he'll identify true believers in 1 Corinthians 4:19:

"But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have."

And here's how Peter described Jesus' works in Acts 10:38:

"And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him."

But if you still don't understand it, don't bother. I am only here to educate you, not to argue with you. You might understand some day if you open your heart to the true Jesus.

Did Jesus say you should go and look for individuals, or He said you should do greater works?

So you don't understand what Jesus said, it's about GREATER WORKS than he did.

That's exactly what my own religion has done and we keep doing greater works than what Jesus did till date!smiley
Jesus didn't say your religion will do something please. He spoke to you as an individual. Not as a religion.

Answer the question:

What GREATER WORKS has any human or group of humans did than that which Jesus did? undecided
I don't answer irrelevant questions.

There's no human being who I can set as my yardstick above what Jesus said I should do or not do. Whether anyone did it or not is not my problem. Jesus didn't ask me to look for any man who has done what He said I should do before I do it.

Are you concerned about what any man has done or has not done? Should you not be concerned rather about what Jesus said you would do?

Christianity has nothing to say or do with other religions so true Christians don't preach against other religions it's our teachings that exposes falsehood and since false religions was built on the learner in Christianity will discern that we are not on the same page with other religions but speaking against them in the public is totally unchristian because there is freedom of speech, expression and worship.
As Christians our speech publicly should not be offensive {Matthew 10:16} there is nothing that could make any religion attack true Christians because we have nothing against worshipers of other religions and we don't go about condemning them for their beliefs it's only interested persons who gives us their times to study with us that can see the difference not everyone since we don't shout in their streets! Matthew 12:19
Is there power in your religion? Christianity without power is not Christianity. If that's your brand of Christianity, then I'm afraid, you've been sold a fake Jesus.

"For the Kingdom of God is not by word but by power." 1 Corinthians 4:20.

And this Kingdom of God is within every believer (Luke 17:21). By it, we command the 'Greater Works Jesus talked about.

Happy 91st Birthday Prof. Wole Soyinka
The Lion of African Literature

Why Soyinka Believes in Traditional Yoruba Religion Against Christianity

Wole Soyinka born on July 13, 1934, is a renowned Nigerian playwright, poet, novelist, and essayist. He is celebrated for his literary achievements and his outspoken activism against political oppression, which led to imprisonment and exile. He was the first African to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986.

The Yoruba Ijebu Egungun Masquerade That Fell the Anglican Church of Rev. J. J. Ransome Kuti

Anglican priest, the Reverend J. J. Ransome Kuti carried out his ministry in defiance of the traditional priests with total confidence, as vividly described by Wole Soyinka in his autobiography, "Aké: The Years of Childhood"

"… Rev J.J. was away on one of his many mission tours. He travelled a lot, on foot and on bicycle, keeping in touch with all the branches of his diocese and spreading the Word of God. There was frequent opposition but nothing deterred him.

One frightening experience occurred in one of the villages in Ijebu. He had been warned not to preach on that particular day, which was the day for an egungun outing, but he persisted and held a service. The egungun procession passed while the service was in progress and using his ancestral voice, called on the preacher to stop at once, disperse his people and come out to pay obeisance. Rev J.J. ignored him
eople and come out to pay obeisance. Rev J.J. ignored him.

The egungun then left, taking his followers with him but, on passing the main door, he tapped on it with his wand three times. Hardly had the last member of his procession left the church premises then the building collapsed. The walls simply fell down and the roof disintegrated.

Miraculously however, the walls fell outwards - anywhere but on the congregation itself. Rev J.J. calmed the worshippers, paused in his preaching to render a thanksgiving prayer, then continued his sermon."
Today, in the midst of the revelation of God's power and how men can walk in it, the egungun cannot try the nonsense with a true Church of God. Especially if the assembly is a Pentecostal assembly with a true man of God overseeing the assembly. The house itself would have been anointed and dedicated to God Almighty before any service is conducted in it. So, if the egungun taps it as he did in this story, then, two things could happen:

1. He could immediately come face to face with God's wrath. Anything could happen to him on the spot. Nothing will happen to the building.

2. Nothing may happen to him if God decides to overlook his actions. This will depend on how wicked he has been in this world before that day. Nothing will happen to the building too.

Ignorance is the power the devil has over any Believer in Christ. "The people who know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits." The more knowledgeable you are as a Christian, the more ascendancy you have over the powers of hell.

I am not a fan of the dogs. They have this violence vibe about them. They don't like strangers. They seem unfriendly.

Cute but unfriendly.
Hmm!

Thanks for your honest review. I'm so grateful.

I understand you. But in this case, the seller is actually a trustworthy person. Except the mother dog is a crossbreed

I believe it will be a sweet addition to your family like ours were. Dogs and most animals in general are intelligent and feeling creatures, who are capable of kindness, love and friendship like we humans are.

Just make sure to treat it well, like you would treat someone you cared about and know that there's a difference between pet dogs and guard dogs. You don't get a pet dog then expect it to serve as a guard dog as well.

Vet visits and bills will be an additional expense to prep and plan for as well.
Okay. Thank you very much.

I've taken note of everything.
