When you start killing Jews that say Jesus was nothing but a criminal, liar and false as justifications why they killed him. When you start killing Jews that say “If Jesus comes down a thousand times, we will kill him a thousand and one times”. You christians hate Muslims, but you love the Jew. Remember Jesus was a Jew. You guys are ignorant and confused. You don’t even know that you follow Paul, not Jesus.
So what's bad in following Paul? It's like taunting a person that he follows Elijah instead of Abraham. Mtcheeeew.

Every small thing you Muslims find a way to insult n ridicule Paul. For what really?

For saying Jesus Christ died and rose again for our sins?.. news flash, even the ACT of the Apostles you guy up is quoting also have Peter talking about that.
For saying Jesus is the Son of God? News flash even the ACT of the apostles Records Peter saying that.

For saying Jesus is the only name given by which Man might be saved? News flash it was Peter that said it.

What has Paul done that Peter hasn't done more?... You guys are just finding a scapegoat

Is it because Paul emphasize more of work before Faith that's why you antagonize him?.
What's wrong in him saying "Faith without work is dead?" Isn't that supposed to be true?.

Abeg leave our Paul alone. If alot of Christians follow Paul's, there's nothing bad there. They don't worship Paul. Thats all that matters.

I'm done here.

Pay attention to the details of what Jesus Christ said and not when John died. Again, Jesus Christ tells you that the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist, the one who who the greatest of all the prophets undecided

2. John was a righteous(good) and holy man of old. undecided
no one ever born?. U see, the rest from Noah to Moses etc were born ....therefore Jesus is Right John is Greater than them o.

You call John an old convenant prophet and Jesus a new convenant prophet... Meaning John is Greater than all old convenant prophet but lesser than Jesus who is a new convenant Prophet.

Pray tell, why didn't Jesus tell the disciples that called him a Prophet that they were right but instead waited till Simon Peter , stoodup and told him you're the Christ.. Son of the Living God.

What I'm saying is that, weather Old or new convenant Prophet ..a Prophet is a Prophet . Therefore if Jesus was one he should've said to them.... Yes, they're Correct. I'm nothing but a Prophet sent.

But we that know, know that Jesus is more than a Prophet. He is the Son of the Living God.
A messenger from God ....I called him a messenger because he was sent.
If a King send his Son the Prince, that Son that Son becomes a messenger to his Father ...because he goes with a message. Same with Jesus. But you can't call him an ordinary Servant( Prophet. Weather new or old). That's disrespectful and Wrong.

I stand by my Word... A Prophet weather new or Old can't be The King of God's kingdom
A Prophet can't be judge in the end
A prophet can't raise billions of dead people.. he has no such power and authority.
A Prophet can't evee have Pre existed.

Besides even from what you say ." A voice of one crying in the wilderness make the path of the Lord straight".... Even with that you go see say no be ordinary Lord them dey talk about

1. Jesus Christ came to call the sinners to God and not the righteous. John the Baptist was a righteous man of Old and so was not one of those Jesus Christ came to call. undecided

Also, Yes, the New Covenant was activated when Jesus Christ said on the cross, "It is finished!". John died long before that happened. undecided

2. What Jesus Christ said of John is apt, and He was clear in His proclamation the the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist. undecided
Jesus Christ made that State ment of John being the greatest prophet before he died. Therefore the new convenant wasn't activated yet. So why would he had made that statement?..

Lol John the Baptist a righteous man of old? Smh

What you call the Gospel is God's New Covenant agreement for individuals in the Kingdom of God - Matthew 26 vs 28 - 30. undecided

The Old Covenant Law of Moses is God's Law and Constitution for the people of Israel in the Nation of Israel - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. undecided

Jesus Christ spoke severally about the Old Law particularly when teaching the people His New Way instead. undecided
So how then is John and old convenant Prophet ?. Abi are u telling me it's was when Jesus died the new convenant became activated?.

Secondly remember Jesus made the statement of John being the greatest prophets before his death.

2. Pay attention to what Jesus Christ Himself said to you. Jesus Christ said that of all the Old Prophets - Elijah, David, etc -, John the Baptist was the greatest. However, even the least in the Kingdom of God - those of the New Covenant - is greater than John the Baptist. - Matthew 11 vs 11 & Luke 7 vs 26 - 28 undecided

where did Jesus Christ talk about old and new convenant pls tell me

1. YES undecided

2. YES undecided

3. What "least" angel? undecided

4. John the Baptist was an Old Covenant Prophet since He taught and lived Old Covenant ways, this while preparing people for the New Way to come. This is why Jesus Christ said of John that the least in the Kingdom of God, of which John does not even belong to, is greater than John. Those of us of God's New Covenant are greater than those of them of the Old Covenant - the Old Covenant people were not promised the Kingdom of God aka Heaven in the Old Covenant. undecided

Also, John died before the New Covenant was ratified and so was never able to accept it before his death. undecided

5. Rather than attack people here and there, put more of that energy into comprehending what is written in your scripture.. undecided
so then if I taught and live in an old convenant way it makes me an old convenant prophet ?...

Those of us in the new convenant are greater than those of them in the old convenant. Lol meaning you're greater than the Prophet Elijah simply because you're in the new convenant?. Lol.
Meaning apostle Peter is greater than king David because he is in the new convenant?

Are you reading what you saying so?

2. I never said Jesus Christ is not the Son of God so how can it be construed that I call God Himself for introducing,from Heaven, on at least 2 recorded times, Jesus Christ as His Son? undecided

3. I have not once accused Jesus Christ or God of being a liar since I do not deny Him who He is in any of the instance you point to. Instead, you are the one who deny the fact that Jesus Christ is also a Prophet, just as God said and Jesus Christ Himself confirmed. undecided

4. Yes, a Prophet can and is all of that and His name is Jesus Christ undecided

5. According to Scripture, Jesus Christ is a Prophet. You adding "just" to it is or own delusion and need to twist what is written to suit your mental delusion. The question is is Jesus Christ a Prophet and the simple answer to that question is Yes! undecided

How can a prophet be a King of God's kingdom?.
.....My problem with you is that you're putting Jesus in the league of all those prophets like Moses, Abraham, David, Elijah, Elisha etc.

Jesus is above them.

Jesus Is God's High Priest
He's God Son
He is a King.
A Prince
Alpha and Omega.

You have raised many issues which I do not have the time to conviniently respond to. But let limit ourselves to the issue raised in the topic. In view of the Bible itself , would it be blasphemy to refer to Jesus Christ of Nazareth a Prophet of God?
I'll let the apostle Peter reply you when Jesus asked his disciples who do people say I am?.
.. the disciples mentioned prophet but yet Jesus didn't say they were correct until Simon Peter stood up and spoke.


See one thing you should know is that people will define a man with many things.
People from afar will define him as a prophet. Some like the scribes will define him as a liar.
Some will define him as just a man.
While some close will define him as the Son of God like Simon Peter did on inspiration.

While some like Thomas will define him as his God.
Some like that man will define him as a Great teacher.
Some will define him as a healer.
And many more definition.

But who.is he truly? Well I go with Simon Peter on inspiration from God...

JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD AND NOT A PROPHET.

and just like those who defined him as a teacher, a healer etc are not entirely wrong.. so are those who define him as a Prophet.

I would have loved to educate you on somethings, but I am a little occupied now just took a little break to surf nairaland.

Now, there is Nabiyy ( Prophet) and Rasul ( Messenger).

All messengers are prophets but not all prophets are messangers. In essence, Messangers have a higher rank with God than those who are prophets only.

Prophets are people sent by God to guide people back to law when humans are going astray. Their teachings is based on the law of a messenger who had preceded them.

Messengers on the other hand are sent with new laws and teachings by God to people. They usually come with a law giving to them by God.

John, Zechariah, Joseph, Aaron etc are prophets.

Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad SAW are messengers. Note that I am not saying these 6 are the only messengers. There are other messengers.

In summary, Any prophet that is giving a scripture or a new law with whom he judges between people is a messanger.

Messengers are superior to prophets.

Hence Jesus a messenger and prophet is superior to John who is a prophet only Peace be upon them all.
by the way . Jesus was saying John is greater than all those you named. Including Abraham , Moses etc.
You know why?
Because he was the one sent to make Jesus way straight. Remember in one of the prophecy it is said... "there's a voice crying in the wilderness... Make the way or path of the Lord straight. That voice is John. The Lord there is Jesus." Since John is a fore runner of God Son..it makes sense to say he is greater than those prophets.

For eg, a President chief of staff is Greater than any minister.
So since Christ is King of God kingdom and John is like Christ Chief of staff, it make sense to say John is Greater than any prophet or messenger.

Smh. Smh Smh SMH SMH .... If so, clearly can you tell me what God was talking about in Micah 5:2?.

Can you tell me what Jesus meant by all that belongs to God belongs to him?. Note, not even all the messengers you mention will make that claim.
Noah won't. Moses won't.
Let me list to you all that belongs to God.

We have
Worship
Honour.
Glory.
Riches
Power
Wisdom
Wealth
Etc... And yet Jesus said all this belongs to him....tell me which of the messengers in your lips can make such claims?.
Note, I'm not disagreeing with you that Jesus was a messenger from God. Afterall, if A King send his Son to a farway land with a message or something.. that son becomes a messenger because he goes with a messengers.
Nevertheless I'm saying Jesus is not your ordinary messenger. Like the Noah, Moses etc you mention.

Check the book of Revelation for more emphasis on that. There you have Jesus saying He is Alpha and Omega, begining and end.
Check same book of Revelation you will see how all the angels and 24 elders bowed to the Lamb.
Check same book of Revelation you will see that Jesus is not your ordinary messenger.

For instance, Angels are messengers from God( they're not Prophet) but yet Jesus is greater than the angels of God.

The Bible let us know that by Becoming a Man Jesus was made lower than the angels ... But when he died and Resurrected and went to.the Father he became Higher than the angels .
Can a Human messenger be higher than an angel? Noooooo.

Jesus said something I remember.. he said the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than the greatest prophet. In that regard he is wasn't distinguishing between prophet and Messengers like you did above. He put all of them in the same boat. And said the least angel is greater than them.

And yet same Bible let us know that Jesus is Greater than the angels of God. Infact after God in the Kingdom of Heaven..it is Jesus Christ.
That's why same book of the Bible said he is the Ruler of God kingdom.
Can a messenger be ruler of God Kingdom ? Think.


Now let's go further, thank God you brought Moses, Noah etc. Show me where.. anywhere in the Bible where they will raise or join in the raising of the dead in the endtime and the judging of the world?.. if you show me that I will keep quiet.

Remember it was Jesus that said he shall raise the dead doing the end and he shall judge the world. He didn't just say that, he also guaranteed his disciples the right to judge the children of Isreal.
Until you can name me any Messenger in your list of messengers who can make such a claim..
Then we have nothing to argue.
Jesus is not a messenger...it is that simple.

1. John the Baptist was, according to Jesus Christ, the greatest Old Covenant Prophets, and rightly so. However, Jesus Christ was not an Old Covenant Prophet like John, and Moses, and all those in-between, this since His message and that which He embodied is God's New Covenant and Law in the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom which He is ruler over. undecided

2. If you refuse to accept Jesus Christ as a Prophet, then what you do is accuse God of lying in Deuteronomy 18 vs 14 - 17. undecided So, it is true, just as Jesus Christ Himself said, that He is the prophet spoken of by Moses. undecided
And you also make God a liar in MIcah 5:2 where God spoke about Christ.
And you also make Christ and Peter a liar when Peter inspired by God called Christ the Son of God.
And you also make King David a liar when he said "The Lord said to my Lord".
You also make this verse a liar that said..

"And to the Son he said, thy Throne o God".

And you also make 1John1 a liar.

And you also make the book of Revelation where Jesus called himself "Alpha and Omega" a liar.


Do you know Jesus Christ said, "all that belongs to God belongs to him"..
And we know that this below belongs to God.

Worship
Riches
Glory.
Honour
Power
Might
Righteousness..
Reverence etc.
And yet Jesus said they all belongs to him.

Can just a prophet make this claim?

so then according to you Jesus is the Ruler of God kingdom?... So let me ask you, can just a prophet be the ruler of God heavenly Kingdom?. I'm talking about a Kingdom inhabitated by powerful spirits beings.
Spirit beings that is greater than any Prophet.. remember Jesus said the least angel in heaven is Greater than the greatest prophet on Earth.

So that will mean if Jesus is just a prophet..a new convenant prophet it will mean the least angel is greater than him. If so, how then will someone who the least angel is greater than rule God's kingdom made up of beings much more powerful than he could ever be? Does that make sense in your head.


By the way, How is John and old convenant Prophet since apparently John and Christ came around the same time?.

How is John and old convanent prophet when he was the one that was sent to make the path straight for Christ coming?..

A Prophet is a man approved by God to men. If you have this approval from God, you will do what God has anointed you for. All you need is the permission of God to those miracles. This was the message in Act 2:22

Jesus is not just. Prophet that's what you should know. Check Micah 5:2. Can God say that of Just a Prophet? Did just a prophet pre existed back in heaven? Lol.

By the way, if Jesus was just a prophet.. he won't have called John the Baptist the greatest Prophet. He would probably have called himself that or not even spoken about it. But we know even John said Jesus was greater than him then how come Jesus said John is the greatest prophet? Think.

lol if I point you to another quote in that same ACT you will say it is Scam.

Nevertheless let me reply you, no Prophet. None at all can be given the power to raise the dead or even judge the world. That authority is reserved only For God.

Besides, if for eg, God give a prophet the right or permission to do all that doing the end time ... Please does that Prophet have the authority to delegate it? Lol.

But you see, Jesus Delegated by telling his disciples they will sit on Thrones judging the 12 tribes of isreal.

So I ask again, which prophet has the right to do that kind of thing?

Note: remember, according to your Quran it is God that will judge the world and raise the dead...but yet, Christ said He is the one to judge the world and raise the dead.

So which should we believe? Lol.


See bro you can't win this. Even Jesus said the least angel in heaven is greater than the greatest prophet on Earth...so why will God give a prophet the right or permission to judge the world ? Lol.


By the way Oga, Prophets only do miracles on Earth. They won't be doing any miracles in heaven or on the last day. So get it.

You claim to know the Bible but you know nothing actually.

If he wasn't why then did he tell Simon Peter who called him the Son of God that it was God that revealed that to him.

If he was just a Prophet...I'm sure it would have been one of the disciples who called him a prophet he would have told exactly that too.

Remenber the disciples gave varying answers including prophet... I'm sure he would have told them Yes I'm a prophet.

Secondly, if you say Jesus is a Prophet then it means John the Baptist is Greater than Jesus since Jesus himself said John is the Greatest prophet. So which is it @KoboJunkie

But the Bible itself referred to Jesus Christ as a Prophet. Read Luke 24:19

“What things?”he asked.
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.

Therefore when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world" (John 6:14).

Matthew 21:10-11

10And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Let me ask you, Can just a prophet Judge the whole world doing the end of time?

Christianity EtcRe: That Is Blasphemy - Rev. Yinka Yusuf Faults Buhari For Saying Jesus Is A Prophet by ifiokjohn(m): 10:11pm On May 17, 2022
I have read many People's comments here including #KoboJumbo but to be sincere I expected better for him.

What I want to let you know is that Jesus is more than a Prophet. But if you call him a prophet you are not wrong and neither are you entirely right.

According to Jesus, "John the Baptist is the Greatest Prophet ever.". Now assuming Jesus was an ordinary prophet just like John, Elijah, Elisha etc... He will probably had said he was the greatest Prophet or he won't have said anything to that effect.

But Jesus knew he wasn't a prophet that's why he named John the Greatest prophet.
Remember, even John proclaim Jesus is greater than him cause Jesus came before him. So if Jesus was only a Prophet, it will make sense that John should be greater than Jesus since even Jesus himself said John was the greatest prophet.

Secondly, Yes, Jesus is indeed a Messenger from God. Jesus being a messenger from God doesn't mean he isn't the Son of God.

For eg, I'm the Son of My Father but if my Father send me to or deliver a message to Me Peter, doesn't that make me a messenger ? Even though I'm my Father's Son. That is Jesus case here.

Now I'll explain something to you. ... In one of Jesus Parable, he talks about a Man who lease out his vineyard ... Then when the time for harvest came he sent his servants to collect, but those servants were killed. Some beaten and disgrace. Till he sent his Son then the People said, 'This is the heir, let's kill him and everything will be ours' and so, they killed him.

Now if you understand that verse or parable very well... You will see that the Harvest is the people of Isreal. The men told or given the vineyard to till are the scribes, religious leaders etc. The Servants are the Prophets and we know some of them Isreal killed, some Isreal disgrace etc. Then the Son is Jesus Christ who as we know was Crucified on the cross.

What I'm trying to say is that if Jesus was only a Prophet, I'm pretty sure he would have joined himself with the servants that was sent. But instead he distinguishes himself by not adding himself to the servants(Prophet mix).

Nevertheless, just like those Servants ( Prophets) he himself is a messenger because he was sent by his Father with a message to the people.

If you want to know who Jesus truly is, look at his parable. Try to understand what they mean.


Now let's also go forward to say, at no time ever is Jesus Christ God almighty... Jesus is a Son of God only. And just like a son of a Lion is a Lion that's how Jesus is God but he isn't comparable to God Almighty.
Check the book of Revelation to understand more. For eg, Jesus uses the attribute of God in numerous places there. Even called himself Alpha and Omega. They're numerous places in the book of Revelation that emphasize the difference between Jesus and God.

But one thing is sure, Jesus is not just a prophet.

For instance when he asked the Disciples who do people say I am? They gave varying answers. Including a Prophet. If Jesus was a prophet, he would have told them, they're right he is just a prophet but no, he didn't until Simon Peter was divinely inspired to say 'He is Christ, the Son of the Living God's

Know this, no prophet ever has been called the First born of all Creations. No prophet ever have been spoken of in Micah 5:2. That was God talking about Jesus.

One of King David's Revelation to about Jesus tells us that.

In essence, as much as Jesus is the son of God, he is also a messenger from God.

Jesus is Son of God
He is King
He is Prince of Peace.
He is a teacher
He is a Prophet
He is everything roll into one.... reason why John the Baptist (The greatest Prophet ever) said Jesus was Greater than him.

With that score she is atleast 80% sure of getting the admission.

As for your Lasu, me and you know there's high level of competition there... Except, you get Connect.
SportsRe: Ronaldo Staying In Manchester United Will Be A Sure Sign He Is Retiring Soon by ifiokjohn(m): 7:22pm On May 16, 2022
paulolee:
I like dt word, "stays to rebuild Manchester united"....
no wahala...he is staying simply bcoz of no better options in seeking for a big club dt plays UCL..
city signed haaland n dnt need him, PSG are focused on keeping mbappe or getting a vibrant younger attacker like oshimhen n no other big clubs are interested, madrid rumors was dead on arrival bcoz Perez is planning on getting mbappe n dnt need a 37 year old striker wen he gat inform benzema..
cr7 option is only sporting n dey cnt match united 450k per week n added bonuses he gains..
its better cr7 stays, make some money n continue were he stops dis season bcoz i dnt see mr erick winning any trophy or even making top4 next season..
rebuilding takes time, un a league like EPL n wit players in united, their suffer go still pile up next season..
you lie. We are getting better next season. It will be lite for us
PoliticsChristians Which Way? by ifiokjohn(op): 9:27pm On May 14, 2022
I have nothing to say but this.
May it never ever ever be well with Lord lugard, Britain and all those who work hand in hand to join Nigeria with the north.

I read the stories of many Southerners that lived in the north doing crisis.. it is nothing short of sad. Its shows the beast in most Muslims.
You say your religion is one of Peace but it's takes you nothing to kill, destroy. That can't be a peaceful religion. I'm so so angry. This is unfair.

When shall we Christians stand with one voice and say enough is enough.? We shouldn't be talking about election but a referendum on how to disunite this wicked entity. God forbid.

I so so hate Nigeria right now. There is to much bloodshed in Nigeria. How can you e grow? In what way?.

I sincerely think the South is better off without Muslims.. even the southern Muslims are a ticking time bomb no offence.


Those guys have no soul.

Shebi na the N3,000,000 wey dem carry buy that car dey wan use buy land and build house ni.

Even for a standard 3 bedroom bungalow you should be keeping between N8 - N10 mill nowadays.
Yes oga a 3 bedroom bungalow can be built with 3 million or even 2 million.
You mustn't build all those very wealthy man kind of building with expensive roof, expensive ties flooring etc.

I know a young Man currently finishing his house with about 2 million naira. He's not building something extravagant. Infact na just roofing remain. Him done almost finish everything.

I'm planning also in the near future by God Grace to build something like a 3 -4 bedroom too. My budget will be about 4million or 4.5M. not exceeding.

Lol... I'm lying, keh? So you are the one to decide who my tribe is? Funny man... Come and force us to become Igbos. cheesy
I'm not forcing you to go out there I'm just telling you the truth. If you go out there especially to places like AKwa ibom or Benin, and say your name is obinna or chiibuike or eze etc..they will classify you Igbo. If you like say you're ikweree or whatever...we will classify you Igbo and laugh at you for denying your identity

I don't know about Akwa Ibom. I only know about my place.
You see. So stop lying abeg. If that really happened every part of the south would be speaking Igbo but that's not so.
You guys are clear igbos and no one in Nigeria will believe otherwise. Go to the north or to the west..every Chibuike is an Igbo boy. If you like claim ikwerre..they don't care.
