LESSON SIXTEEN...


You see, there will always be only one King. God. Christ is practically the Throne of God, God's Seat of Authority.

This part gets technical real easy and keeping it simple and non-verbose is a task. I just hope that the message is clear enough to at least provoke articulate conversation in our minds.

All the thrones you see in the Bible are one throne. There is one throne where God sits and rules from. One throne in the midst of which are the Lamb, the 24 elders and the four "living creatures".

This is significant in the study of the concept of the Christ. In Revelation, there is a moment when a scroll is supposed to be opened and no one was found in all the realms who was worthy to open it. Until the Lamb showed up. And He was said to have won the right to open it by something He did. The Lamb is later shown as exercising supreme authority from the Throne.

Later, we find the "living creatures" and the 24 elders joining Him too. This is what the Christ is: God's Throne.

As has already been said, in the Christ God meets His Creation. He enters its experience and takes it into His as well. That is the function of the Throne. That is the function of God's Christ.

And I have just hinted at the Destiny of the Believer in all that.

Look at everything that the 24 elders and the four "living creatures" said in Revelation and take a thought on it. We'll pick up from there next.

I've read this like five times I don't want to believe what am thinking is what you're implying here....


Some Quick Questions:

Are you saying that God and not Jesus is the Lamb?

You said there's only one throne but the Bible said Jesus ascended to sit at the right hand of his father... how does that correlate here?

What do you mean by Christ God?

You've intentionally left Jesus out of the picture you painted above Which rendered it incomplete.

My understanding of that paragraph is ....

-God delegated some authority to Jesus .
-He was the Lamb who was worthy to open the scroll because of the sacrifice he made.

The throne part is confusing cause there can never be two thrones in a kingdom and there can never be two kings in the Same kingdom but then how would Jesus 'reign with him'

Can you shed more light on these?

ihedinobi2:
Yes I had a fine day, thank you. And church was awesome. I hope you did too.

Lolz

You can't sleep...

At least you'll be able to get high and release some emotions.

Now Playing: Nicki Minaj -Anaconda

UjSizzle:
It would make a lot more sense if I knew what came before and after it.
So far though I think the first part before the ellipses would be just as saying gossip/beef sells(?) and the other, the duality of everything.

Oh well this is the lyrics... It's kinda explicit... view at your own discretion...

I can as well edit some of those censored words

I swear I hear some new bullshiit every day I'm
wakin' up
It seems like nowadays everybody is breakin' up
That shiiit can break you down if you lose a good
girl
I guess you need a bad biiitchgirl to come around
and make it up
I guess drama makes for the best content
Everything got a bad side, even a conscience
Now you're drinkin' 'til your unconscious
Feel me when you get a fine biiitchgirl
Just don't forget to read the fine print...

He was talking about his ex...

Pardon me for the kind of songs I listen to

I just love raps both the good and bad as far as It's got good lyrics

UjSizzle:
Justice? Lmao.

Your siggy. What's it about?

Lolz

#ScratchingMyHead

Don't really know...Copied it from a rap song cause I liked the wordings and rhymes …:-

Can you decipher anything?

UjSizzle:
You all humble me. I'll keep that in mind


*Aside*
So you've been stalking my profile eh?

Guilty as charged...

Please tender justice with mercy

Did I just see SeverusSnapes?


The one and only Potions master of Hogwarts..


Don't mind me...am such a huge fan of Harry Potter.

Both males and females are good teachers...It's just that female teachers tends to be more patient with her pupils/students ...

The pupils/students feel safe to ask questions were a particular lesson is not understood without fear of being punished...

The males who are more energetic and strict seems to use influence to drive home their points....

I'd prefer a female teacher any time any day.

FrancisTony:
I doubt.

She has been a Moderator since last year not just now.

I didn't notice sha...

I quit stalking her profile after the tsunami...

UjSizzle:
Lol it's just coincidental. I've been a lot more occupied than I used to be (in the real world), and have less energy to engage in arguments and debates.
There's also been very little that piques my interest on this forum too (I'm sure others have felt the same way). But I'm still available to give assistance where needed Though I doubt I won't be echoing much of what's already been said.
Let's just say I'm bored which is why TV shows have become more appealing.



.....oh and I've never really been a social animal.

Alright I understand ...

But some people are still looking up to you sha

Don't let them down

UjSizzle:
Lol It's more like he got tired of oga and quit. The whole mod thing is a volunteer stuff, so anyone is allowed to take back their offer of help.

Oh I see

That's comforting to know...


But does being a mod make you less social?

Cause once upon a time you were so influential -you were everywhere.... sharing your vast knowledge where it was required..
But since you became a mod...I rarely see your diary updates...your posts were mainly on that GUS thread.... why is it so?

In other news am enjoying my airtel here

tut-tut-tut

FrancisTony:
Last seen- Oct29

Moderate- No longer showing.

Why?

seems he's been demoted...

We'll miss him tho...

Just when I started liking his personality

Chai... I just pray he wouldn't deactivate his account altogether

Cause I know what It's feels like to be brought from such a high position to shambles....

And my post got deleted

FrancisTony:
Even Angel Gabriel salutation was grossly misinterpreted.

"Chaire Kecharitomene" means Hail Perfect one not highly favoured.

if you like translate it to Arabic,Armenian, Afrikaans, etc

What doesn't make sense in English can't make any more sense in a language I don't understand

THE LONELY ONE

Because they seek for the truth automatically made them haters?

If Jonathan was like this nobody would've been breathing by now....




mtcheeeeew

FrancisTony:
Yahweh is a misogynist?

Bible mentioned other women children but refuse to mention Mary's own.

Bible called Jesus, Mary's son but scared to mention others.

Bible was scared to call them Joseph's son.

Herald9 be deceiving himself since 1600.

I think since Jesus was the main character here....the Bible writers were writing from his own perspective thereby ascribing everything to him....

Check Matthew chapter one....all the pedigree listings only came to end with Jesus...

Did you get it?


Yahweh is a misogynist... a terrible one for that matter.

FrancisTony:
Painment. Your grievance can never change the fact. Deal with it.



What made you to conclude their are no female Angels?

Have you been there?

We only know Arch-Angels by name.

How did you know that God exist... have you seen him before... Didn't you learn about him from the Bible?

If the Bible didn't mention any female angel does it not mean that there was none?

Abi you wanna apply your own reasoning as usual?

And what purpose will female angels serve in heaven if reproduction is not allowed...Leave all those movie fantasies...we are talking about your God who doesn't give a _F about women....

FrancisTony:
That's your opinion not mine.
She's extraordinary to me.
If you become extraordinary tomorrow, your mum will experience same.
Now, Mary won't experience the same privilege because you hate her.

Hehehe
Abeg I don't hate Mary... I can't remember ever beefing with her...

It's just that you people crossed the line when you tried to make her what she's not and will never be...

She was just like a needle in a syringe...after the injection the needle is thrown away but you people decided to pick it up...clean it and put it up in the museum....

You don't have to blame me...blame your God for not giving a _Fuck about women.... He started all this drama....

And have you ever heard of a female angel?

hohohoho

Nah!

Your analogy doesn't fit.
What will be your reaction if you're with me and my female cousin who has been visiting long before, come over again and I scream; Why am I favoured that the mother of my Lord would come to me.

By the way, it was holyspirit that possessed her when she said.
Are you bigger than holyspirit?

Duuuuuuuh

FrancisTony:
I gave you biblical reference.

You still don't get it. Are you?

Provide a verse where they called them Mary's Son.

Let's get something clear here first ....

Relatively few women are mentioned in the
Bible by name and role, suggesting that they
were rarely in the forefront of public life.
There are a number of exceptions to this
rule, including the Matriarchs Sarah,
Rebecca , Rachel , and Leah , Miriam the
prophetess, Deborah the Judge, Huldah the
prophetess, Abigail who married David,
Rahab and Esther...

The Bible writers viewed women as
inferior creatures who are less valuable than men and do
not deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

They were secondary creatures whose main role was that of reproduction... If they really did something great....it'll Come as a summary...except those ones above who they had no choice but to have their names spelt out....

So don't be surprise if the Bible referred to Mary's children as 'The brothers of Jesus '

Your God sef is a mysogynist-The Bible can confirm that!

Dreyl:
nah

you are a girl


how Come your siggy says 'fine boy swag'?


ooopz... I asked this Same question sometimes ago

FrancisTony:
This is not new jare. Provide a verse that say Mary's son not Jesus brothers.

1. The Meaning of Brother
The first thing to understand is that the term brother (Gk.adelphos) has a broader meaning than uterine brothers. It can mean a biological brother, but it can also mean an extended relative, or even a spiritual brother.

Take Genesis 13:8 for example. Here the word brother is being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were not biological brothers but uncle and nephew:
“So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and mine, for we are brothers” (Gen 13:8, NIV; see also 14:12).

Because of the Bible’s broad semantic range of “brother,” we can rest assured that although St. Paul writes, “[Jesus] appeared to more than five hundred…brothers at the same time” (1 Cor. 15:6), we need not infer from this verse that Mary gave birth to more than 500 children!

2. Children of Mary?
These “brothers” are never once called the children of Mary, although Jesus himself is (John 2:1; Acts 1:14).

3. Other Women Named Mary
James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesus’ “brothers” (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of Mary—Just not Mary, the mother of Jesus.
After St. Matthew’s account of the crucifixion and death of Jesus, he writes:
“There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; among who were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.” (Matt. 27:56; see also Mark 15:40)

Jesus' brothers are mentioned in several Bible
verses. Matthew 12:46 , Luke 8:19 , and Mark 3:31 said that
Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him. The Bible
said Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph,
Simon, and Judas ( Matthew 13:55 ). The Bible also implied
that Jesus had sisters, but they are not named or
numbered (Matthew 13:56 ). In John 7:1-10 , His brothers
went to a festival while Jesus stayed behind. In Acts
1:14, His brothers and mother are described as praying
with the disciples. Galatians 1:19 mentions that James
was Jesus’ brother. The most natural conclusion of these
passages is to interpret that Jesus had actual blood half-
siblings.

All these your ideas are preconceived and unbiblical....


you copy?

FrancisTony:
Last I checked, Jesus doesn't have a wife. I was just explaining with that analogy.

Same here....
It's only an extraordinary woman that can match with an extraordinary man....so if Jesus didn't have one...
trying to equate Mary with him cause she was his earthly mum is a lame move......................and it sucks!!!

Did harm by giving birth to our Saviour? You mean God did more harm?

Lolz
If I reply here we'll be taking this argument to another dimension... Let's stick to the basics.

LMAO!

Let's compare and contrast who's taking bible literally.

1) Bible never mentioned Mary had other sons and daughters.
2) Bible never called anyone Mary's child apart from Jesus.
3) Bible mentioned Jesus brother and a deep search in the bible showed that they were Jesus relatives. One of the Mary that accompanied Mary the mother of Jesus to calvary, owned one of the child. Mary wife of cleophas, I think.

Protestant started forcing children Mary never bore to her.

Catholic said Mary never bore another child because it wasn't mentioned.

Who's going literally?

Have you checked those Bible verses I dropped below... your answer is there... depending on how you interprete it

P.S- if Mary have other children, why would Jesus tell Apostle John to take care of his mother and Joseph was never mentioned and likely, something happened to him.

Lolz
Assuming I was about dying... wouldn't I want to entrust my loved ones into the hands of my trusted friends...

Seems Jesus wasn't really close to his brothers cause they didn't believe in him...

'A prophet has no honour in his own country'

I mean why was Elizabeth favoured to receive her cousin(Mary), if she was ordinary.

If the president came out of nowhere and offer your dad a 10 million naira job....what will be your reaction?
