He can be Deity without being Jesus himself. The Holy Spirit appeared as a man a couple of times in the OT. That's what people call a theophany. I am tilting towards that.

bro, ur post is making sense.

MostHigh:
But yet christ told you I and the father are 1.

So which other face you come dey look for??

Confusion galore.

deriz notin confusing about it....a man gets married to a woman n de r said 2 b 1....what's d confusion in it? d FATHER n d Son are 1, but u and I knw de are different. they are one in many facets.

lanrywatt:
d bible says the old testament is a shadow of things to come, and again I would want us to understand that it is only God that such attribute can be apply to, having no beginning and ending, without a father and mother.
secondly is d fact that Salem means Jerusalem which implies king of Jerusalem but Christ can be regarded as prince of Salem.
wat am saying is that Christ told them DAT Abraham saw His day and he rejoice yet dey stoned him but question is wen did Abraham saw his day and rejoice DAT was in he person on Melchizedek because u can't see God and live God had to take a flesh to cover up which implies God in flesh which is as same as wat God did in d days of Christ as God living in Christ so d old testament fore shadow d things that will take place in d days of Christ, So the reason why it is Christ is because Melchizedek was God in flesh which symbolise Christ. remember Christ as been existing before s foundation of d world in the very heart of God
Abraham saw privilege by God to see wat Christ will look like before Christ even came on d scene. I wish I can make dis simple dan dis, may God grant us understanding

Amen, but wait oo.....Melchizedek in d days of Abraham Was the personification of God Himself? God Almighty is spirit...doh ntn is too hard 4 Him to do. He revealed Himself wholely to Abraham is that it?? and moses could Only see His back...........Omehn, if that's what ur tryna say am afraid I dnt agree. Even Christ said NO ONE HAS SEEN THE FATHER.

MostHigh:
Story story...... story.

So now Melchizedek DIED i THOUGHT IT READS NO BEGGINING OR END OF LIFE

the devils children are really confused.

Inspiration is all you need to come out from this matrix you are plugged into.

lawless son of the lawless man.

pls na, no insults.

Goshen360:
I said it and will preach it anytime, anywhere - premarital sex wasn't mentioned as part of sin of fornication. I left your thread because you kept copying articles online and can't discuss scriptures by yourself, without backing it with truth of the word. We have been fed with lies and we're now standing to the truth of the word. Challenge me any day, anytime, I will teach it more and even clearer - you YOURSELF agree that pre-marital sex wasn't mentioned to mean fornication but you can't leave it at that, you're inferring your own meanings by human traditions. Folks like you makes the word of God of no effect, get it right.

premarital sex isn't a sin? dats a shocker. bro, m beginning to suspect ur Expanded version of d bible....mayb u were d 1 dat did d expansion....dats crazy. ok, make a clear distinction between premarital sex and fornication....anh anh, Goshen d son of moses.

Fom the time of David to the time of Jesus how many years was that? People lived hundreds of years then. Some of these beings can immortalise their physical body.

ok....tnks 4 contributing. I need befriend 1 of ur members. to learn more, n most importantly to see if I can immortalize My mortal body ryt here On earth.

Goshen360:
. You get Holy Ghost sense no be small. You see me as I siddon dey look the guy

lmao.

Goshen360:
Hebrews 7:3, Expanded Bible (EXB)
No one knows who Melchizedek’s father or mother was [ …without father, without mother], ·where he came from [L without genealogy], when he was born, or when he died [ having neither beginning of days, nor end of life;  something unstated was assumed not to exist]. Melchizedek is like the Son of God; he continues being a priest forever [ Melchizedek’s unmentioned genealogy in Genesis is, by analogy, like Jesus’ eternal Sonship and priesthood].

When KJV said, "neither having beginning of days nor end of life", its a phrase referring to "when he was born and when he died". The question I have asked people who teach Melchizedek is Christ is, if he was a man LIKE Christ, did he fall from heaven when scripture says, ONLY Adam was created BUT every OTHER MAN ON EARTH WAS BORN BY A WOMAN, EVEN CHRIST WAS BORN OF A WOMAN AS A MAN.

Another question we can ask the advocate of "Melchizedek is Christ" is, does it mean that Christ was here on earth before his virgin birth? Many things or object appeared as a foreshadow of Christ in the OT but those where not exact Christ. Think about this scripture,

Galatians 4:4, Amplified Bible (AMP)
But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law We can understand from this scripture that, there was a "proper time" Christ came. So, he could not have come "before" the proper time in person of Melchizedek until he was born of a woman BUT that Hebrew scriptures says, Melchizedek didn't have mother. Offcourse he had a mother, the name of his mother and father wasn't recorded nor exactly known and was missing in the genealogy so he (Melchi) can be preserved to fit the "description and comparison" of Christ when he said "MADE LIKE" the Son of God.

thats 1 p I av bout varied interpretations, but most versions av read have similarities with what I wrote up there. also, u said sumtin bout kjv's "neither having beginning of days nor end of life", u said it made referenx 2 wen melchizedek Was born and wen he died. I take xception to ur assertion, cux Its distinct. neither avin beginning nor end isn't Same as being born.

saintopus:
He was in the time of King David and lived several hundreds of years upto the time of Christ. Am not a good bible student but somewhere in 1 Kings 1:39.
Jesus met him at the age of 16yrs and studied under him. NOTE: Nothing was written about Jesus from age 13yrs until at the age of 33yrs when his mission was given him."

Bros, no use asking u bout ur denomination, av seen it already. but ur comment is frightening....sum1 lived frm d tym of david up to d tym of Christ.....Bros haba! type anoda tin na.

NETCEO:
better ask google

lol.

saintopus:
He was a spiritual being at that time. They usually come teach and inspire their devotees, raising their consciousness in the process. In the time of Christ there was Zadok. This ancient ones are the spiritual masters who teach these people about their mission on earth.

zadok in d tym of Christ? quotes pls.

i want to ask you for advice; How do i get rid of toxic friends

lol, sister ethereal0110, if ur toxic frnds r ladies, tel dem 2 msg me b4 gettin rid of dem. do d converse of what you did b4 u became frnds. abeg, contribute to d topic.

For this Melchizedek, king of salem, priest of the most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated "king of righteousness," and then also king of salem, Meaning "king of peace,"
3, WITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER, WITHOUT GENEALOGY, HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS NOR END OF LIFE, BUT MADE LIKE THE SON OF GOD, REMAINS A PRIEST CONTINUALLY.

Some persons i discussed with said He is Jesus, but idontbilivit for the following:
1, without father; Jesus had a foster father.
2, without mother, I just cannot take away the position of mary.
3, without geneology; the geneology of Jesus Was recorded in the book of matthew chapter 1 vs 1-17.
4; having neither beginning of days nor end of life. ok, this may just be the reason why some say that this Melchizedek is Christ. for Christ had no beginning, neither will he have an end.
but made like the son of God, remains a priest continually. Jesus Is'nt LIKE, He is the son of God.
what if am wrong, and if the person as described is'nt Jesus, who is He?

in dix event, burying d dead shud cum ist. I mean, it is one of d spiritual works of mercy. while, dat of finance shud b secondary......God ist, den money. if Christ were to b d pastor, I doubt if He wud av demanded tithe b4 burial. she Was active 4 40 yrs, had set back 4 10yrs n dat Was d tym she drew-back. mayb all d info ain't in. we r supox 2 b Christ like. what wud Christ av done in dix situation

goofyone:
This guy you really should just shut up already. You are just a bu.ff.on making great efforts to string sentences together. The choice to "help" a relative, as you see it, is what it is: only a choice. Why can't you gather yourself together and go get a job!!??

istly, I wasn't talking. 2ndly I Dunno what u meant saying m a bu.ff, mind explaining? 3rdly, My write-up are all coherent, wonder y u said m makin efforts at unifying sentences. Moreova, I never asserted dat altruism is 'an all law' neither did I posit that am avin a scenero. read up topics b4 commenting. it is'nt a personal xperienx dnt u get? never av I demanded ANYTHING frm an uncle Or aunt.....beliv u me.....NEVER. the idea irritates, albeit m a student. lyk I said, n I will reiterate, Its often seen in movies n clearly visible around.

No10:
Isn't it ironic that a youth vigilante has more intelligence than our intelligence agencies? That aside,if 70 virgins is the motivation for male terrorists what is the motivation for these females?

.......that Perhaps, they wud'nt b included among any of d 70 virgins to b alloted to jux 1 man....that wen de get to hell and not heaven, it wud be 4 dem......one man and one wife.

@OP:

Your thread had potentials until the bolded

@Topic:

We are too greedy, selfish and discontent with what we have (topped up with keeping up with the Baloguns )

It is good/blessed to help? Yes

It is the entitlement of a poor person to be helped? No (except the poor contributed to the wealth)

The amazing/irritating thing is that most 'poor' people do not have needs(or do not prioritize them), they want you to finance their wants. Imagine OP saying the wife and kid wants to enjoy the husband's wealth alone.

God save us from entitlement mentality. I guess that's why some people are not grateful for the 'little' done for them

Like someone would say: If you do 'the boy is good' to everyone and you have nothing to show for your endeavors, same people will ask you what you used your resources for.

nyc write up. My bro n sis aren't entitled to My wealth....Very true. but, it doesn't stop us frm recognizing dere worries. some pple more often dan not are blind to it, Or de pretend to be.

oweniwe:
correct....!!...

Its only during rough times that you will know your true brother and sister.

after spending all on them, If you go broke tomorrow, They will not even blink eyes at you...

Abeg enjoy your money when you have it.

some witches/wizard be lyk that.

oweniwe:
having felt and experienced both ends of the stick, i can say i understand u people's point....

My father.... Told me that he his parents only sent him to pry school. Infact, his parents didnt train any of their children beyond primary school.... My dad went to work as mechanic apprentice... He gave his savings to his father to keep for him so he could proceed to secondary school..... His papa drank ogogoro with his savings while mama used d rest to buy iron pots and aso ebi for her dance troupe group......

Fortunately for him, he got employed as driver to d state secretary of a trade union.... From dia, he went to yabatech and joined d union.... That was in the 80s... Then he got married to my mom, set up his house.....etc.... Now, the irony is that... The same parents who thought its waste of money sending their children to school, who burnt his savings, are the ones who started bombarding our house for "this & that".... U know how first borns dey carry family load nau... Dats how it was with my dad.... Toxic Family interference from my dad's side eventually wrecked the marriage.

Then came the june 12 crises up to abacha era.... Things were very rough for us.... To pay school fees was hard for my dad.... It was only during obasanjo era when NLC started growing balls that money started flowing in again.... U can imagine what happened next? My dad's younger ones started dumping their children into the house for my dad to train for them... My dad didnt send them away.... He helped so many of his cousins and nephews even to his own children's detrinment.... When my dad put me and my elder bro and sis in private university, you need to come and see how relatives were shouting that he's wasting money... He should send us to Auchi or Abraka.... You recall my dad only went to primary school, so for him to train his children, nieces and nephew up to university level, he's a very nice man....

However.... In 2011, he got retired from service... It came suddenly, he wasnt prepared.... I was in 400L den... All the money he made was sunk into "family matters", building "house for baba"....etc... He had to sell off a Sienna to be able to pay our final yr fees... One Camry 03 was snatched at gun point... Cut long story short, things became rough for us again.

Now you would expect the relations that my dad had been helping all the years to come and assist him now that he's in need.... For wia? Anytime they see my dad, they will run... You will call them 7 times before they will pick.... The irony is that..... It is friends that he used to overlook when he had money that used to send him money...

If i call some of my aunties or uncles whose kids my dad trained dat i want to come for a short visit, they will tell me not to come... When i was serving, they all promised to help me find job when i pass out.. But after, they dont "know anybody"/go and apply online/go to lagos to find job...

I was asking the same question the OP is asking now... Why are these relations refusing to help me despite all my dad did for them? My mom's younger sister even deleted me from her facebook list say i dey disturb am

You know what gave me the inspiration to stop brooding & demanding favors from relations? It is Nkem Owoh (osuofia) "Know me when am poor" song... That song changed my mentality. If you dont know me when am poor, when i become rich, i nor go look you... I go vex... Since then, i just face my own problems. I don't call my relations for anything again... If i need something i call friends & they help out... But relations? To hell with them.

If i become millionaire tomorrow and my friends come to visit, even without them asking, i will make sure they leave with fat wallets... But relations.... make den come meet me for "help" or bring their children for me to train... I will carry big stick and use it to chase them away....!!...

mehn, so touchin and funi, also funi hw pple behave. work hard bro, God with u....u go Make am

sirman:
Go and sweat, toil, suffer & hustle to make money.
When you've finally made it, you'll find out its actually very hard to give people money like you think should be done. Its annoying, the way rich people are pestered & expected to distribute money. Some family member employ it as a source of income to be asking rich members of the family for money.


Abeg, the rich man didn't work for you, so don't get angry when he refuses to give you money. Besides, when money dey, friend go dey, when money no dey, friend go go...

I honestly feel very grateful when people give me anything even if its just worth a £1 because i believe they are not obliged to.

When I had my daughter and people gave her so many gifts I was so overwhelmed with the love as I had actually bought everything I felt she would need.I was raised that way not to expect things from people and make do with you have.

Even my husband says I embarass him the way I say thank you when he gets me stuff or decides to do stuff for me.I wanted to get some qualifications and was saving to pay for the course.He told me one day that he had paid some money into my account and I realised it was about 70% of the fees.I was sooooo overwhelmed with gratitude as I honestly would not have felt any resentment if I had paid for it myself afterall I am the one seeking to improve myself plus at the time he was paying the Lion Share of the household bills.

Very imperative. expectations leads to being frustrated n disappointed sumtyms.
