Aemmyjah:The name Jesus was given for two purpose; 1. It's the access code to the Father. You pray to the Father in his name. 2. It's for use against the devil and his cohorts. By the time the kingdom of this world is finally destroyed and brought to an ended, we won't need the name of Jesus anymore. God will give him a new name. |
There was a country. Government is a scam in Nigeria. The best way to be alive in this country is to be in Christ and trust God for your divine protection - Psalms 91. |
Michael547:Why does he need a name? He is everything. He is El Shadai, he is Elohim. His name is boundless. This is why he told Moses, tell Pharaoh that the I Am sent you. Jesus called him Father most of the time. So, call him father after you are born again. |
Ohyoudidnt:Your comment is senseless. God can do all things. What is wrong in giving others opportunity to do certain things including his son. Is it not stupidity for a father to have children all around him and he does all the house chores and said the children shouldn't do anything. Is this how you want to run your home? |
Michael547:What do you want to do with the name of the Father?.Is his name your problem? Why not ask questions that will help you build up your spiritual life and secure your eternal destiny? |
Aemmyjah:It is not stated in the Bible. But certainly, angels witnessed the recreation process because the account of Genesis was actually a recreation process. Satan and his evil cohorts also witnessed it. |
Ohyoudidnt:The Father still has one exclusive responsibility that I know of. For example, prayers are offered only to Him but it must be said in the name of Jesus. You know what it means to attend to billions of prayers daily. That is huge responsibility. While Jesus maintains an oversight over the universal church. Hence, the scripture says that Jesus is the head of the Church. |
Ohyoudidnt:I agree. But the relationship between Jesus and His Father is such that he has committed all things into his hands. He has given him all authority in heaven and on earth. |
Aemmyjah:Do you dig gold on the surface? The word of God is a treasure that you have to dig deep to unveil certain truths. The facts that every member of the Trinity was a part of creation is revealed in many passages of the scripture most of which are in the New Testament because Jesus the Truth came to tell us things that even the Prophets of old didn't know. But in Genesis 1:2, the Spirit of God was revealed to be a part of creation. God never spoke a word until his Spirit moved over the faces of the dark. He is the executioner. A verse of scripture says; Job 26:13 By his Spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Jesus was later revealed to also be a part of creation by Apostle John and Apostle Paul. |
Ohyoudidnt:Does the fact that you have a boss you report to makes your boss more human or more man than you? Put in another way, Jesus is a God being. He is God in very essence and nature. He only took up a human form to die for us. Some of the statement credited to him revealed his Deity. He said, before Abraham was, I Am. He said that whoever has seen me as seen the Father. The Jews knew he was placing himself in the same class as God when he calls God father. No one ever did that. What about where he said, 'I am the first and the last'. No ordinary human can make that statement. |
MaxInDHouse:But I just quoted a verse of scripture to buttress my point. It seems you really enjoy being an anti Christ. |
MaxInDHouse:Read the passage again. Thomas said to him (Jesus), My Lord and my God. It wasn't just an exclamation into the air. He directed the statement to Jesus. |
Muslim scholar wants a proof where Jesus said he is God. The exclamation of Thomas is one of such proof. When he saw Jesus after his resurrection, he exclaimed; John 20:27-28 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. If Jesus is not God, he would have told Thomas, please don't call me God. What other proof do you need to know who Jesus truly is? |
Aemmyjah:If God works alone, why did he say in Genesis 1:26, 'Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness...' Who is the us God was referring to? Notice he said, 'in our own image'. Two Apostles in the New Testament that unveiled the mystery of God's creation and let us know that Jesus was involved are John and Apostle Paul. John said; John 1:1-4 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. The Word is Jesus. And he said, all things were made by the Word who is Jesus. Apostle Paul also said; Colossians 1:15-19. 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. note 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; With this revelation, we can now understand why God said in Genesis 1:26, 'Let us make man in our own image'' The us is the God the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. Trinity has always been unveiled right from the very beginning. |
MaxInDHouse:This is why everyone needs to be born again so that you will have the capacity to grasp spiritual truth. The scripture says; 1st Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. |
Aemmyjah:Which translation says also. Read the passage below; John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? |
Aemmyjah:No. Jesus is not the Father and the Father is not Jesus. But the Father is God. Jesus is also God. The Holy Spirit is God. But they are One God because none of them operates without the other. Jesus did what he sees the Father do when he was on earth. Right now, the Holy Spirit does only what he hears from Jesus. They are three separate persons but One God. This is why the scripture calls it a mystery. |
Emusan:Sure. Confirming that Jesus is indeed God but he is not the Father. He is the visible manifestation of the invisible God. |
Aemmyjah:And the Son said that anyone who has seen him aa seen the Father. Do you need explanation for this to know who Jesus is? |
Janosky:
|
Janosky:The song they sang was to honour both the Father and the Son. Was there any other song in that passage? The song called both the Father and the Son, Lord God Almighty. The scripture says that the fullness of God dwells bodily in Jesus. |
Aemmyjah:Moves was called a god to Aaron and not God. It's a mystery but my spirit can take it. |
Janosky:Have you not read where God called Jesus God? Trinity is a mystery beyond human comprehension. But it's a fact. The passage is explicit. A voice was heard and John turned to see the voice and he saw Jesus. And when Jesus spoke, he repeated the statement that he is the first and the last. Does that not affirm the Deity of Christ? |
jazzman7711:Hell fire is not an idea. And God didn't create it for man. It was in existence before man was created. Hell fire was created for the devil and his cohorts. But since the devil made man to sin against God, man became subject to him. And a servant can not be above his master. If Satan is hell bound, the sinful man was also hell bound. This is why Jesus came to rescue us. He went to hell so we don't need to go there. But if you reject the free gift of salvation which is in Christ alone, you have chosen to continue your journey to hell. This is the gospel truth. The choice is yours. |
In addition, the passage below refers to Jesus as Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last; Revelation 1:11-18 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Notice that in verse 8, John heard a voice saying he is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last. This is the title only God uses. And when he turned, he saw Jesus (Son of Man). |
The carnal mind still find it difficult to understand the mystery of the Godhead. But it is true. Jesus is God in human flesh. And a passage jointly addressed him and the Father as Lord God Almighty through a song. He was jointly worshiped with the Father; Revelation 15:3-4 3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, AND THE SONG OF THE LAMB, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. John heard Saints singing the song of Moses and the song is also referred to as the song of the Lamb. And both God and Jesus were addressed as Lord God Almighty because the song is for both God and the Lamb (Jesus). What other proof do you need that Jesus is indeed God in essence. |
They should better start digging up all past videos of naira abuse. Odumeje aka Ndaboski comes to mind. They should not forget government officials doing same. |
AbuTwins:If God could text Abraham to offer his only Son, Isaac, why do you suppose God himself couldn't do the same with his Son Jesus. It was the only way to rescue the world. Through the first Adam sin entered the world and death and condemnation was the consequences. Through the last Adam, Jesus, redemption came to mankind bringing life and justification. God had an option for Abraham. A ram died in place of Isaac. But for Jesus, there was no substitute. He had to die. And his resurrection brought hope to mankind. This means those in Christ will one day resurrect unto eternal life. Those who don't believe unto eternal condemnation. As for the Trinity doctrine, it is very scriptural and the evidences are overwhelming. I will make my submissions in my next post. |
AbuTwins:You pick a passage of scripture that appears to support your pre conceived opinion while at the same time, you reject many more others that are contrary to your opinion. Ezekiel is not talking about salvation or redemption. He is talking about taking personal responsibility for your errors. But this is different from the sacrifice Jesus paid to save mankind from the power of darkness. Well, if you reject this free gift of salvation, you are the one who will burn in hell. And when you land there, you will regret the day your mother gave birth to you. The choice is yours. |
AbuTwins:You are so ignorant of divine laws. God is too just to violate laws he put in place. What are these laws? 1. The wages of sin is death - Romans 3:23 2. It is the blood that makes atonement for sins; Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 3. Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. The blood of bulls and goats where used under the Old Testament to atone for the sins of the Jews. But it was repeated year after year. It wasn't a perfect sacrifice as you can equate an animal to human. This is why Jesus had to come. And to die for us, he had to be born of a virgin so that he will be born sinless. No wonder when John the Baptist saw him, he said; John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. It is the blood that Jesus shed that met the full demand of Justice. So everyone's sin has been paid for. If you accept it, salvation becomes yours. If you reject it, be ready to die for your own sin and perish in hell. Why believe the teaching of a man who is unsure of his own destiny and the destiny of his followers - Sura 46:9. And you reject the words of a man who was born sinless, lived a sinless life, died and rose again. And he is alive forever. Please, use your brain. You have been deceived. |
AbuTwins:Why do you think he had to be born of a virgin? Even your Quran affirms it. Why do you think he is called Messiah even in your Quran? Messiah means Christ and it also means the Redeemer. Only someone born of a virgin could redeem the world from the power of Satan. And Jesus did this by dying for everyone on the cross. His blood that he shed is what brought our redemption. But it won't be yours until you accept it. If you reject it, you will end up in hell. This is the truth. Please, don't miss the opportunity to be saved. Once you are in hell, it's for the rest of your life. |
Chukwuka319:That is when they are in their calm state. But the moment they transit to the other state, you will wish they were never your friend. And the transition can take place with the slightest provocation. The Christians on the other hand even though quite a few of them are not exhibiting the nature of Christ, they will not lift a finger against you in the guise of religion. However, not everyone who answers a Christian name is truly a Christian. And not everyone who says I am a Pastor is truly called of God. |
