Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ijawkid(m): 11:51am On Oct 15, 2012
Sleek05: Excuse me. Pls I have just one question 4 all dose anti-trinitarians. Wat church do u guys attend? Because 2d best of my knowledge, catholics, anglicans, baptists and protestants all believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. So where r u guys frm? Cuz I never even knew anti-trinitarians are in Nigeria. Tot only d Jews and d Gentiles had such funny belief.
Did the Jews and early 1st century christians worship 3 Gods??

Did Jesus worship a trinity God??

Jesus worshipped 1 God.......

So why this rubbish called the trinity....??
Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ijawkid(m): 11:48am On Oct 15, 2012
Ihedinobi: Nonsense! Honestly, I had not quite expected that gbrookes would make substantial difference with you guys. I think right now that he persisted because he hadn't dealt with people like you before. I've continued to follow the thread since I stopped commenting just to see what else is new. My annoyance right now is simply one I caught from gbrookes. Until now, I'd just been mildly amused by your increasing idiocy, nay, lunacy.

You have tried your best to make the Trinity a three-God affair. So far, you have failed woefully. Then you have tried to create a pantheon where there is an Almighty God, a Mighty God and myriad others. You have murdered and crucified Scriptures and damaged logic just to do that. Like I've said before, you can only pit Scripture against Scripture and rewrite the entire Bible just to make your foolishness true.

As a parting shot, that fool Boomark, who I see is still prancing about and preening like he has some exclusive revelation, has so quickly forgotten that your infallible JW version still holds Jesus as God according to Hebrews 1 especially verses 10 to 12. You really are a pack of fools.
Lmao....

Oboy u go craze o......

Na your nicean grand fathers start this rubbish called trinity........

If a truth as simple as ""we share the same God with Jesus"" cannot penetrate your brain then I wonder what can..........

Your colleagues here just said Yahweh is a name for 3 persons....what sort of rubbish is that??

And the trinity is a 3 God affair...

No matter how u and your cohorts try to make 3 persons equals 1 God will never work as far as the scriptures are concerned.........

You can keep worshipping a 3 God combo that's your business.....

But don't come here mixing modalism and the trinity dogma together thinking you are using the bible as you foundation.........

How you can or wanna equate Yahweh with his servant (Jesus) baffles me......

With all the scriptures you've been quoting paul himself still settles the issue @ the end by saying the Father is 1 and only true God......

If u guys can't grasp that u can as well become buddhist and hindus and worship Gods in triads and what have you........

If people like you can say only a part of Jesus died not all of Jesus ,then I wonder what gospel u preach.....

U dey here dey come talk about bible.......



Rubbish!!!!!

Arrant rubbish....

@gbrookes02:
....

The part of isaiahs prophecy that even corroborates perfectly with john 12:37-41 is isaiah chapter 53.....

Have you read isaiah chapter 53 before??

Please I will like you to go through it...

Jesus is even called the holy servant of Yahweh in that chapter....

I stand on the default ground that Yahweh our God is 1 Yahweh...

When once you can base your truths on that creed then you won't have all this wahala....

Yahweh remains the name belonging to the Father.......the son has his own name and ofcus u know the name.........

gbrookes02: The Son who is Yahweh is The Father who is Yahweh messenger

All you anti-trinitarians are nothing but very sick, idolatrous, pathetic, blasphemous liars who twist words and scriptures to your all destruction, 2 Peter 3:16, and nothing else. When I was corrected on Zechariah 12:10 I admitted it, When we trinitarians present our scriptures and arguments to you all, most of them you all just ignored, for example one of many that you all ignored is "The Yahweh that Isaiah saw in the Old Testament is The Jesus Christ of the New Testament according to the apostle John, see "Isaiah saw Jesus as Yahweh (Compare John 12:37-41 with Isaiah 6:1-10)", and many others, you all also twist our words and the words of those we quote and posts. Instead of you all saying we don't have any answer right now and go and do your all research and come back with honest researched answers, instead of that, you all tell lies and twist words and scriptures instead. All you anti-trinitarians are nothing but a pack very sick, idolatrous, pathetic, blasphemous liars.
If u were corrected as to the right exegesis on zechariah 12:10 then I wonder why you are still clinging on to this false ""Yahweh is a name fo® 3 persons"" dÓctrine.....

How can Ýahwehs name chÀnge from YÀhweh to Jesus??

Did it ever occur to you that theÝ are 2 Ðifferent distinct individuÀls??....

And for Çhrist sakes isaÍah does not say Yahweh is a name belongiÑg to 3 people§.....

Calm down and let's analyze the scriptures you put up there.....

I want to really hear from you....

now u didn't paste a whole notebook...we can settle down and consider isaiahs prophecy and how john re-quoted from it.....

But please:::::I have still not seen where those 2 accounts say that Yahweh is the name of 3 Gods.....

Please stop this useless copy and paste zhit from online...

Christianity EtcRe: If God Is Truly A God Of Justice, Then Hell Fire Is A Very False Teaching. by ijawkid(m): 8:52am On Oct 14, 2012
Mr_Anony: But the bible makes it clear that the devil will be tormented forever in the lake of fire.

Adam, sodom&gomorrah noah's neighbours e.t.c were people punished for their sin by having their physical life cut short. They are wrong comparisms for an eternal torment that has been promised in the time to come (I'll touch on this a bit later)



Aha! the infamous translation battle. Before we continue down this line, I will ask you to select which translation you want to use for this discourse so we don't jump across translations and twist scripture. You can select two and we'll stick to them alone. So tell me and we shall kick off.
We'll stick to as many translations as possible.....

Then we can consider the original hebrew or greek words used in whatever verse we read from as the case may be...............

And please what can really torment satan the devil....

I never knew satan will enjoy the gift of immortality......

Anony my bro,it is either life or death,not life or life......

You forgot to add that HELL and death will be in that lake of fire too....

How will those 2 abstract entities be tormented??
Christianity EtcRe: If God Is Truly A God Of Justice, Then Hell Fire Is A Very False Teaching. by ijawkid(m): 7:52am On Oct 14, 2012
Mr_Anony: Interestingly, it is not weird to you that people can enjoy infinite paradise for all eternity for finite good deeds of which God had to forgive a lot of sins for that to happen.

Also, why would God resurrect the sinner only to kill him off again?

Here is the picture you are painting: A man commits all the sins he likes, r[color=#000000]ape[/color]s, tortures and kills but dies in a fire. On the last day, God resurrects him and essentially says: "You were such a bad boy now go back to sleep"

- You are mocking God's justice, you are trivializing it so that it fits into your picture of what you think love is.
And so the most important question is:::

Where is the adam and eve that landed each and every one of us in this wahala we are in??

What was there fate??

Where are they??

Are they burning somewhere maybe waiting for there off springs who also followed there foot steps. By becoming renegades to come join them??

John 3:16

Is the foundation for the fate of those who either served God or didn't....

So of what use is God burning up that person for eternity when he(God) could bring an end to that persons existence just as he has always done....

From adam,the time of noah,sodom and gomorrah etc.....

The problem is eternal life is a gift to righteous persons not to the unrighteous.....

Imagine satan living forever.....

Then what did God accomplish @ the end of the day??
Christianity EtcRe: If God Is Truly A God Of Justice, Then Hell Fire Is A Very False Teaching. by ijawkid(m): 7:17am On Oct 14, 2012
Mr_Anony: My dear Maximus, for this statement to be true, you have to show the scripture explicitly saying that Adam did not go to hell.


This is called special pleading. If the bible makes it clear that all sinners will go to hell, then I don't see why Adam's case would be special seeing that he also sinned.


All you have done here is project what you think Love is and then force God into your picture. You have only created your own god.

A loving God who "regretted" flooding the earth went on to burn down a whole city, drop down stones upon an army and have Israelites, Babylonians, Assyrians and Philistines kill off entire cities including the women, babies and livestock because of sin. This should give you an idea of how greivious sin is in God's sight.

One of the characteristics of Love is that it hates evil but rejoices in good. Love(God) is not that mushy feeling that you have. Bear that in mind.

Back to your op. If God is a God of justice, then He must punish sin. If God does not punish sin, then He would be unjust.
Hell - the lake of fire - is a place of eternal torment prepared for the devil because the devil sinned. The bible makes it clear that all sinners will be thrown into the same lake of fire.
And exactly what would they be experiencing in the lake of fire??

I can agree with you that adam went to HELL...

So also Jesus did for 3 good days......

But the thought of people literally been tormented for all eternity for finite sins they committed in some furnace is never Gods way..

It is either one gains everlasting life or perishes.....

frosbel: Sorry is it me going mad or what !!

1. God father is GOD
2. God Son is GOD
3. God Spirit is GOD
4. Father GOD is at the top
5. Son GOD is in the middle
6. Spirit GOD is at the bottom



Now looking at the gibberish I just listed, we have to conclude that :

1. They are all GOD
2. They are all Co-equal
3. But they are not really Equal, point 2 is a pretend one huh
4. They have the same name Yahweh
5. But the middle one who is the Son has 2 names, Jesus and Yahweh



Trinitarians you have just stumped me !!!
The doctrine useless die!!!!!!!.......

Ubenedictus: gbrookes just pasted passages refering to d spirit as a person, til now u ran frm responding. U have starte dodging again
Gbrookes posted a whole text book just to show that Jesus' name is Yahweh.....while I posted just 1 scripture to show that Yahweh is 1 Yahweh....

Let him bring out a scripture that says Jesus nick name or name is Yahweh.....

The name Yahweh appears more than 7000 times in the holy scriptures.....and never was it atrributed to 3 persons......

Just show me 1 scripture that says""

Yahweh the Father,Yahweh the son ,and Yahweh the holy spirit.....

It baffles me that this is the same name your priests refused to tell there members way back...but after been exposed they now have to give the name Yahweh to 3 persons just to keep up with the pagan triangle formula......

And please which papa born the 3 of them for all .of them .to dey an§wer one surnÀme Yahweh.......

Rubbish!!!!!
Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ijawkid(m): 11:16pm On Oct 13, 2012
Ubenedictus: that is y Jesus wasnt begotten in time, he was begotten from all eternity
But he was beggotten abi??

Meaning that @ one time or the other unknown to us The Father existed b4 Jesus in other to beget Jesus.......

For you to say Both Yahweh and Jesus co existed simultenously @ the same time would annul the word ""begotten""

It will also annul the fact that Jesus is ""the image of the invincible God""

There would be no need for Jesus being the image of someone he is co-equal with....

That would be arrant rubbish.......



And funny enough we humans ,angels and Jesus are all images of that invincible God........

So why would I wake up one day and say that Jesus is co-equal with his Father.....

OÑe can only be the image of someone or something when he or she is not the original,.....

Which ever way u want to bend your mouth to say Christ was begotten from eternity,Yahweh existed b4 Christ in other to beget Him...

Now that's the cardÍnal reason why Yahweh is number 1 and head all the time over Christ......

That is why Yahweh is the God of Christ....

Jesus worships Yahweh...

Did it ever oocur to you that Jesus worships Yahweh??or mayb it eluded your trinity infested head.......lol...(Jus joking)

But that's my point up there....
Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ijawkid(m): 11:06pm On Oct 13, 2012
Ubenedictus: stupid questions again, why cant ijawkid send papa ijawkid on errand, they are equally humans arent they?
Or like ur oda silly question, y doesnt ijawkid becom a fada to his fada? Y cant dey substitute?
Ijawkid go and treat ur headache, it is really affecting ur reasoning
Lol......

I'm tryin to let you see that your definition of co-equality is tOo poor.....

You are defining co-equality based on a jejune basis....

How can 3 persons be aLl powerful,all knowing,all-good,all wise and yet just 1 person out of them 3 has authority over the rest??

Was it thru election that Yahweh became God number 1 in rank??

The reason why I can't send my Papa message is because::

1....Me and my papa no be mate......

2....My papa is greater than I am....

3....I be subordinate to my papa...

..
U want more??

So if I can't send my papa message,while my papa dey send me message everytime,why I go come think say me and my papa equal??

I no go be mad man to think say I dey co equal with my papa wey born me and wey dey pay my school fees??....

I already told you once that all beings in the heavens are spirit beings....

Starting from Yahweh to the least angel...all are spirits.......

Why would I now conclude that because Yahweh and all heavenly beings share 1 common nature(spirits) so the angels are co equal with Yahweh and hÍs Son Jesus??

That's exactly what u are doing when you say because I'm flesh and blood with my parents therefore I'm co equal with them......

You better start thinking bro......

And stop this"" Yahweh is higher in rank than Jesus but Jesus is equal to his Father"" crap.....

Jesus is À subordinate and se®vant to Yahweh for all eternity....start getting this basic facts into your skull.....

Jesus said he'll request the spirit from the Father for our sakes....

My question still stands....

Can't the holy spirit and Jesus combine to send the Father for once in there whole life??

Why must the Father always be the one who sends both of them??

Why??

Why??

And please show me from the scriptures were the holy spirit is ranked the 3rd God.....

And which of Yahweh and Jesus is greater or less than the holy spirit??

GB posted thrash....

He posted a whole note book just to show Jesus's name is Yahweh....

I need just 1 clear lucid scripture...

I've been quoting deuteronomy 6:4....as easy as ABC........

I need just 1 clear cut scripture.....

Yahweh is 1 Yahweh and not a name for 3 persons.........you guys have gone haywire with heresies...
Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ijawkid(m): 8:35pm On Oct 13, 2012
Ubenedictus: hahaha, wen frosbel refuses to see d truth he screams nonesense! Stop screaming and calm down. Did d fada not send his son? Or did d fada and son not send d spirit? If dere is sumtin wrong in wat i said point it out, if nt y are u screaming?
Why can't the son ever send the Father??

Is it that Yahweh is the proudest amongst them all and that Jesus and the holy spirit are always the omodo's who would always run errands for Yahweh??

Why can't it be the other way round??why??

They are co-equal aren't they??
Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ijawkid(m): 8:33pm On Oct 13, 2012
Ubenedictus: they are placed in that rank accding to their relations, d fada is d head of christ and he sends his son into d world, d son didnt send d fada, so d fada come 1st. The fada and son sends d spirit d spirit is ranked third and Jesus 2nd.
Oh the Father comes 1st??

Why can't they sometimes substitute who comes 1st??

They are co -equals right??

Why can't sometimes Jesus sends the Father on some errands or sometimes Jesus gives the Father power and knowledge.....

Why must the Father always come 1st in amidst a co-equal 3 Gods.......

And who the hell ranked the spirit 3rd??

Them write waec exam??.....or them write common entrance??

Open the bible and show where the holy spirit is ranked 3rd....

.Please open the scriptures

Please just a scripture would do to prove this your trash.....just one...

I've not seen such heresy before in my life....

Now that Gods name which ur likes hid from many is now restored u have resorted to saying Yahweh is the name for 3 persons....

Psalms 51:7,16–17: 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

But if you are asked to make a defense using the scriptures to a non-believer why u engage in christmas what on this earth would be your reply??

Or how would you reply??

Can you open the bible to support the origin of xmas??

As christians we should scrutinize what we delve into so as to be able to give a sound biblical answer when the need arises......

How do you start explaining that ""although"" christ wasn't born ""dec 25th"",we just chose not even a random date,but a specific date pagans engaged in revelry and also snatched every single custom associated with that pagan celebration.....

It woÙld be shameful if the bible can't be the basis on which one could defend a cardinal custom that is purported to adore Christ......

Muslims can defend there celebrations from the quaran,but christians can't defend christmas using the bible.....rather pagan histÓry is what we have to go through to know how the observance came about

Its pathetic bro........
Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ijawkid(m): 6:42pm On Oct 13, 2012
gbrookes02: The Holy Spirit is the third member of The Trinity, and thus The Father and The Son are the head of The Spirit. Since The Spirit is God He is everywhere just like The Father and The Son. And The Father and The Son have sent The Spirit to indwell the believers. Be honest for once and just admit that the information is too much for you to handle, that you are completely overwhelmed by it all. If you and the other anti-trinitarians come to know the truth it will set you all free.
See confusion of the highest order.....

What truth??

You call this hogwash truth??

And why attach 3rdness to the holy spirit??

Why can't the holy spirit be 1st or 2nd??

Who arranged them in that descending order??

1 corinthians 11:3 says....

GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
However, I want you to realize that Christ has
authority over ""every man"", a husband has
authority over"" his wife"", and God has authority
""over Christ""

¶lease mr truth .kindly tÉll me whÉre we can fix the holy spirit in this chain of headship??

Meanwhile always remember that when you try to equal Jesus with his God Father always apply the maths to us (humans) and Jesus.........

My bro I'm not forcing any1 to stop celebrating xmas but as Christians we need to test every single thing to see if it measures up with bible commands and principles....
Christianity EtcRe: Either You Unite With The Church Doctrine Or You Are Against The Bible...... by ijawkid(m): 6:01pm On Oct 13, 2012
oiseworld: you still haven't answered ma kwesion.
What did the bible say about xmas?
That the early christians didn't celebrate xmas dosen't mean we can't. Its even possible they did but it wasn't recorded.
you spoke about the addict, it has been proven that the best way of of helping an addict is to replace his addiction with something else. I would believe thats what the catholic church did. Replace the worship of the sun God with christmas. The heavens most be soo proud of such wisdom.
If the early christians that are infact the pillars Ànd foundatioÑ of christianity here on earth didn't commemorate the birth of Chrsit by snatching the saturnalia festivity how on earth should we today engage in it..??.

If the bible didn't even record the birth date of Jesus it should only have given modern day christians a. Sound clue that not even a 1st century christian commemorated Jesus' birth day.....

You ofcus know it would be impossible for the apostles to have not celebrated xmas...the bible has no history on that....

People have always worshipped the sun God long b4 centuries later when the pope chose even an in-accurate date for Christ birth...so how did it escape the apostles and all others not to have engaged or formed the xmas celebration....

You said the best way of helping an addict is by replacing his aÐdiction with somethin else right??

Ask yourself:::::

How did the apostles help pagan addicts from the scriptures??

How did paul help his pagan listeners accept Christ??

Did he adopt there pagan practices to please them??

Christmas didn't replace the pagan saturlania rather it adopted every single part of it.....

How can you help a cocaine addict by sniffing cocaine along with the addict who needs rehab??

Won't u rather show by example that cocaine is bad by not you yourself sniffing it??....
Christianity EtcRe: I Dream Of The Rapture by ijawkid(m): 5:46pm On Oct 13, 2012
Oluwa4Sure: Okay, before I dream about the rapture. . . .

The previous night. I had a dream. But it was not clear at all to me(i will share it with you guys).


The dream I dream the previous night before this rapture dream is. . . .

I dreamed that I was standing on the base of a very big round pillar(like one of those that carries a bridge).
I lean my left and on the pillar and the pillar was in a very big river(extremely big river like that in CMS)
I looked forward, and notice the river was very black kind of. with engine-oil like stain on it and some dirty
waste nylon floating on it.

Later, I noticed the pillar started moving an to the middle of the river. And since I was standing on its base,
I was also moving with it. After some minutes or so, the pillar kind-of mover farther, leaving me behind in the river(I can't swim even in real life). So i noticed that I started sinking. I did not struggle or try to stop it.
Also, the position i took was a standing position. I sank to the extent when my whole body(including my eyes) was cover
in the water/river. I now that I can see inside the water, i notice the under of the water was extremely clear.
It was nothing like what it looks like on the surface. But the only problem is that I could not breath.

****** NOW I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DREAM AT ALL. BUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT IS VERY VERY STRANGE I TELL YOU. PLEASE BELIEVE ME IF YOU CAN **********

Because I was finding it difficult to breath, I woke up. There was light. I noticed that I was in air above my bed
say, like 2 to 3 feet in the air. This is not in spirit or any other thing o. It is in person i tell you. I got scared o! And shouted "FATHER!!!"(I was referring to GOD the father of course!!!). The next strange thing that happened was that, I noticed whatever it is that carried me didn't just drop me immediately. It took its time, dropping me with care so that I did not hit the bed. I was drop with great care. That was how I stop up and prayed o!!!




Guy, I know what I am saying sounds very strange to you guys. But I am a very spiritual person I must say.
I don't go to church though. But I believe it GOD, Jesus and The Holy spirit. And praise GOD a lot. I have had GOD
talked to me twice on two occasions and And let me say I have being visited 2twice by 2 Angels.

The first told me this on the road. "Young man, keep thanking GOD, GOD is about to do you a Miracle!" And he left.
Not to boast. I just want to pass my message across because I never knew I will be sharing this online someday. . .

Also, I have suffered a whole lot o! Left my fathers house at the age of 19. And have attempted suicide a couple of time(not proud of it o. that was when life became 2 unbearable).


So, I believe someway, somehow, I close to GOD. And I also know that I love GOD very very much. And can do anything if
asked by him to do so. But I am not a Christian(As in a born again christian). I use to attend redeem at one point in my life but that was a long time ago.


So, I am believing GOD have a message for me. How I wish I have a pastor I can run to. But I guess having peoples opinion on this will help why I keep praying for guidance.

Lastly, On 3 different occasions I have heard my name being called in the middle of the night(a thunderous vioce calling me. Like calling me in real life while I was fast asleep. And I could hear the voice in my sleep and somehow in real life while sleep. So I know whoever is calling me is calling from real life.) On the last occasion, the voice called me, it was kind of with a little anger. I prayed and begged GOD if its him to pardon me o!, because I have said, lord speak for thy servant is listening but no reply thereafter. . .

******
Please guys, the part where I was like 2ft above my bed. Please don't tell me I was imagining thing o abeg. I no be baby. Next year I will be 25. I know what I was. So it was the next night that I prayed that GOD should let me know what was that. That I got this dream of rapture. . . .

So guys, more light please. . . . . .

oiseworld: *when the US landed in the moon, the put their flag as a sign of.
*When shrines in local villages a destroyed, right on the spot of the shrine a church is planted. As a sign of a new begining.
*Why should d sun god be speared. And him and his days we sieze for our God.
How can u sieze days and the exact tradition of the worshippers of the sun God and use it to praise God thinking God would accept such worship??

Is God that foolish so as not to be choosy on how we shoulÐ serve Him or not??

You talked about a shrine been destroyed and a church built on that §ame land right??

Ask yourself::::

What if the shrine wasn't destroyed @ all but rather the church was built right inside and alongside the shrine and also shrine activities been carried out right in the church??
What if the rites of that juju house is exactly what is been carried out right there in the church??
the making of sacrifices which is been practiced by an ifa priest,but professing to worshipping God with such juju practices....

How does that amount to doing Gods will??

Would Jesus do that??


Would that be right in Gods eyes??

oiseworld: and what is Gods command concerning chrismas ?
Now you are quietly asking the right question...

I'm nt really here to convince anybody that he or she must stop celebrating xmas...

But like u rightly asked::what is Gods command concerning xmas...

The truth is precepts and principles penned down in d bible is what should help an individual who claims to follow Christ make right decisions on what to do ,act and say....

Its just like when u try to convince a ciggerate smoker or one who is on marijuana that engaging in such acts aint compatible with d scriptures...

Meanwhile in the real sense the bible gives no clear cut command that smoking or the taking in of cocaine is bad...

But principles guide us....

The same goes for xmas or other practices that conflicts with principles in the scriptures...

If a custom that is purported to glorify Jesus doesn't have its origin from Jesus himself,then how does it apply or concern Jesus...??

To make it worse this custom had its origin on and from paganism not even from the person that is said to be the center of the whole custom......

The early christians who existed the same time of Jesus never got involved in celebrations or rites that had any dealings with pagans..

The truth is everythin about xmas has nothing to do with Jesus...

Now kindly tell me how xmas is related to Jesus??

I wanna hear from you...I wanna hear what bible precept or principle would give rise to the celebration of xmas.....

And what exactly has xmas accomplished??

Thank you
