The problem with you people is that you take some verses and throw the rest away.

"8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.” (Heb 1:

"looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ," (Titus 2:13)

"1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:" (2Pet 1:1)

"28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28)

So are you saying Jesus is not God and all those verses are incorrect?
Or are you saying Jesus is God but a different God (from Yahweh) that we worship and therefore we worship two Gods?

Let me show you your major problem.

1. You believe Yahweh is God = correct
2. You believe Jesus the son of God is God = correct
3. But you believe Yahweh and Jesus are the same and equal persons = wrong
4. Yet You believe Yahweh is different from Jesus = correct
5. And You feel you are worshipping one God = your ought most confusion

Now let me clear you out here...Jesus is the Son of God which makes him God as well. The word "God" is just a title for both father and son because they also have their separate names..the father has never been called 'the son of God' why? Because he is greater than the son and all. The son says "the father is greater than i" he prayed to God the father. The son came from the father through the power of the holy spirit that is from God as well.

Everything holds together in Christ who is submissive to God the father that is all in all

The plan for mankind to be redeemed was instigated by the Father(the almighty),not Jesus...hope u know that??

Incase u've forgotten let's read the most popular scripture all Christians memorize..

John 3:16:
16..For God(Yahweh,of course not Jesus) loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son(Jesus),so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life..

Jesus is(Yahweh's) only begotten son became the agent through which Yahweh used to save mankind and reconcile them to Himself(Yahweh)...so prophet Isaiah is so right when it says Yahweh is our saviour...The title saviour that was attached to Jesus doesn't negate the fact that Yahweh is the all saving God..the saviour of all saviours..He is everything..he Is Father. Lord and God over Jesus...

Hiswordxray:
Your point is completely unbiblical.
You are saying we Christian's worship two different Gods when it is written all over the Bible that we only have one God.

No! we worship one God Deu. 6:4
Jesus is the Son of God through whom we can also ask in his name.

Also ponder on this: John 14:1-15

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

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?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works 'sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Too much authority in the way Jesus speak. To tell you that all power in heaven, on earth and beneath earth has been given on to him by the father. 1 Cor. 15:27-28

But God is all in all!

I stopped replying him ...he is too dubious, but to himself alone. Cause when you point out the truth for him..he will twist it to drive in home absolutely no point.

You must not have to accept my every point but dont read your selfish meaning into the scripture either.

Let see what do we have here?..

(This topic wasn't intended to offend, so please try not to take offence)

1. Why did God create the world in 6 days? Why not just instantly do it all in one day if he was all powerful?

If he had created it instantly in one day you would have been asking why didnt he create it in 6 seconds.

2. If God has a plan for us then why pray at all?

Because he want us to express our desire also

3. Why did God punish Adam and Eve for doing wrong if they did not know the difference between right and wrong?

because they disobeyed God after being warned not to do a particular thing.
Example : whipping your 3yrs old son for stooling in his pant after showing him the right thing.

4. Where did God come from?

Ummm! He came from nowhere hope you are not thinking of krypton?

5. How does a virgin get pregnant?

Looks like someone did not pay good attention in his Biology class back at school.

Clue: [size=4pt]rephrase your question[/size]

6. Did God create sin?

Suppose God had created everything instantly in one day..there wont be enough time to create a meaningless thing called 'sin'..abii what do you think?

7. Why are there so many religion with each one claiming to be the only true one?

I did not remember God forming any religion in the first place...let me know if you come across anything contrary.

8. Between Isaac and Ismael, which one was the legitimate son of Abraham?

Between your wife and your side chick which one is your legitimate partner? ..your guess is as good as mine.

9. Why are there no chairs in mosques?

Just drop it....The Mullas know better.

But I wonder why there are chairs in the stadium tho!

10. What status does Jesus hold in Islam. And what status does Mohammed hold in Christianity?

Jesus and Islam exist in different time zone and realm..so he was never there.
Muhammad was very farrrrrr from Christianity so he was never there either.

Hope I was helpful?

Peace out!

A sensible quote. I like it

Am glad you do

Aspiregreat:
YOU DID WELL,THUMPS UP

Thanks!

Aspiregreat:
A very sagacious piece,This is the moment i need some kind of inspirational words, THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER ...!

Am glad you do. Though I stumbled over this piece on a private site and decided to share with NLers.

American motivational speaker and author, once said, “We become what we think about.” Perhaps truer words have never been spoken. The human mind is an incredible thing, and having the right attitude and mindset has routinely been stated by numerous successful people as being a pivotal key to success. Sometimes, however, it is easy to get side-tracked. Situations in life can get in the way of our goals, self-esteem, and personal well-being. Truthfully, success is a subjective term, and everyone will disagree over what constitutes being successful. Here are a list of guidelines, however, of some things to stop doing if you want to be or feel successful.

1. Stop Expecting Perfection

Often, we get frustrated when things don’t work out the way we want them to, or as quickly as we’d like them to. We stress over small details, or beat ourselves up for getting one thing wrong, or forgetting to dot one I or cross one T. People are fallible. Mistakes and drawbacks are a fact of life. Nothing is nor will it ever be perfect, and that’s okay.

Stressing out over minute details or things that would have been impossible to get to is unproductive and unhealthy. Start saying that you will do your personal best, because at the end of the day, you’re not in competition with anyone but yourself.

Example: Jennifer Lawrence is someone who everyone seems to be talking about right now, but did you know she was rejected for the role of Bella Swan in ‘Twilight‘? She also didn’t take theater classes. She just trusted her instincts and worked as hard as possible to land acting roles. Obviously, she wasn’t perfect for every role, but she didn’t expect perfection. She takes her failures and rejections well, trying to learn from each situation.

2. Stop Saying Yes When You Want to Say No

It’s always important to know your limits, and people will always try to test them. Human beings are social animals. We want to interact with others and feel like we are a part of something or like we are special to someone else. People also, for the most part, like to please others. Sometimes, however, it’s easy to be taken advantage of. Whether it’s helping a co-worker with something when you can’t really afford to, or loaning a friend money you can’t really afford to give.

Out of guilt, people often say yes to people and situations that they really should say no to. Don’t be afraid to trust your gut and say no. Sometimes you can’t stay a few hours later because you had other plans or important errands to run. Sometimes it’s okay to say no to that co-worker that keeps nagging you for help but is really just stalling because they don’t want to work and know you’ll help them.

Sometimes it’s okay to prioritize other things over work. Saying no is healthy. Saying no means that you know your boundaries and can demand respect.

Example: Margaret Thatcher is known as being tough. She was a powerful politician. She also knew during her career when she had to take a stand, and sometimes that stand meant saying no to bad political and economic policy.

3. Stop Negative Self-Dialogue

We all can probably play back in our minds every negative or embarrassing thing we’ve ever done to ourselves, been subjected to, or done to someone else. Whether it’s tripping over one’s shoelaces in the fourth grade, or being fired from a job, wronging someone else, or overhearing someone speaking negatively about us, those thoughts are forever solidified in our minds.

Replaying those thoughts, however, and constantly punishing oneself for past mistakes, is counterproductive at certain points. At some point, it’s more important to learn from situations and move on, instead of psychologically beating yourself up.

The next time you find yourself saying, “I’m not pretty enough”, “I did this horrible thing once five years ago and I’ll never forgive myself”, or any type of statement along those lines, turn off that negative self-dialogue. Look in the mirror and say something kind to yourself. Read some inspirational quotes. Acknowledge that you are taking steps and making an effort to be a better person. Admit to yourself that everyone makes mistakes, and most importantly, that making mistakes is okay.

Example: This article does a good job of listing Steve Job’s failures. We remember him anyway, and we remember him as a pioneer and someone who didn’t give up. When things go wrong, and they often do, it’s easy for us to remember every mistake we have ever made along the way.

Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of our goals because of that lack of confidence. Don’t give up and attempt to stay positive. Train your brain to think of things in a new, more positive way. Most of all, keep working hard. Failure doesn’t have to be permanent.

4. Stop Focusing On Just Today

Successful people tend to understand the value of a good plan. They plan out their day, their goals, a budget and they plan how much to save for retirement. That doesn’t mean they don’t have fun, though. They most certainly do! They just make sure to plan when it is appropriate and inappropriate to have fun. They make time for productivity and fun, but still save and think about the future.

So, stop just focusing on today and having fun. Think about where you want to be in five, 10 or 15 years down the road! Having a good focus aids in success!

Example: Neil deGrasse Tyson has been in love with the universe and science since he was nine years old. Because of that love, he worked long-term to study the things he cared about. He was accepted into Harvard where he majored in physics, eventually moving on to advanced education. His list of accomplishments would take up another full article in and of itself.

5. Stop Ignoring Your Goals

Stop believing things will just work out for you because you’re a good person. Good things only happen to people who make an effort. A part of making an effort is setting goals for oneself. As evidenced in the previous point, it’s not enough to just focus on the day at hand. It’s important to manage time and set short-term and long-term goals in order to be able to track progress and have something to strive for.

Example: Alan Turing is considered the father of artificial intelligence and computers. He also broke the code to the Nazi encryption machine called Enigma. He faced many challenges along the way, such as the inability to identify with others and being charged with indecency, for which he was eventually pardoned. Despite his personal struggles, though, he managed to break the code for Enigma, saving approximately 14 million people from death and in turn helped end World War 2.

6. Stop Isolating People

Successful people understand that not everything is about work, church or similar obligations. Some things are about family, relaxation, and hobbies. It’s easy to get the impression that everyone who feels or defines themselves as successful probably has no spare time on their hands, and in some cases, that’s true.

However, it isn’t always. Social isolation can kill people. In fact, many successful people have mastered the art of balance. They don’t isolate the people they love because they have large goals or something they want to accomplish. Instead, they incorporate those they love into their goals and hobbies.


Example: According to a recent Forbes article, many leaders feel lonely. However, here are 25 examples of social business leaders who seem to thrive on relationships. It’s okay to know how to work alone and prefer that, but it’s also important to be able to rely on your staff, friends, and family for support.

Involving people in leadership or product processes makes them feel valued and provides valuable feedback. Successful people enjoy that relationship. They also enjoy their time away from their goals and work to spend time with their loved ones.

7. Stop Comparing Yourself To Everyone Else

Successful people understand that the only person they can compete with today is the person they were yesterday. They are too focused on themselves and their goals to worry about anyone else. They don’t want to compare themselves to others because it’s counterproductive. However, they do analyze where they have weak points and are able to genuinely admire people who have mastered things they have not.

There is no use to comparing yourself to someone else. It’s counterproductive and harmful to your self-esteem. It also helps to harbor negative self-dialogue.

Example: Taylor Swift is one of the most successful recording artists of our time, but before that, she was a struggling musician in Nashville playing at small venues and coffee shops. She would turn in demos to various studios, covering a variety of songs.


It was only when she started playing and writing her own music that she got noticed and became the celebrity she is today. She faced a lot of adversity as well. There were people who doubted her skills and told her she couldn’t sing. Her confidence and faith in herself overcame that.

8. Stop Living In The Past

Successful people learn from their failures, but they do not live in the past. They take the skills and lessons they acquired from their failures and apply them to the present and future. Don’t live in your own personal past. Don’t define yourself by who you were. Define yourself by who you are today and by who you’re working toward becoming.

Example: Would we even remember Thomas Edison if he gave up on his ideas before becoming successful? Can you imagine simply focusing on what happened yesterday? So what if yesterday was a failure? Try again! Failure teaches us about what doesn’t work, and helps us get closer to a process that does work. Choose your attitude and control it. Move forward. Remember, failure is feedback.

9. Stop Tolerating Dishonest People

Successful people appreciate other people for their unique traits and gifts. They do not attempt to harm, belittle, or in any way demean others for their own successes or ideas. They are open to relationships with others, but know when to cut the cord, so to speak.

People can be too forgiving when it comes to being wronged, and it’s important to know one’s limits. Successful people do not tolerate negative and dishonest people, because they are too busy loving honest, sincere people.

Example: Everyone. We have all had frenemies. We have all invested in people who did not return our investment in them. Successful people know how to weed these dishonest people out. No one wants unneeded negativity around themselves or around the people they love. Read this article for tips on how to deal with dishonest people.

Jesus called the one and only true God "I AM"

"Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8:58).

What is this?

This 'I AM' that Jesus called the one and only true God, who did this 'I AM' sent to the world?

Hiswordxray:
Yes the Father sent him but he took his life back from death which means Jesus raised himself from death, yes or no?

Smh!

Hiswordxray:
People call Him by different name but He is the one and only true God.

Stop dancing around..you are avoiding my question. You know the truth but your pride wont let you admit it.

Simple question 'I said what is his name...the NAME as written in the bible?

Hiswordxray:
Yes the Father sent him but he took his life back from death which means Jesus raised himself from death, yes or no?

John 5:25-27

"25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man."

Hiswordxray:
The one and only true God.

I said name...[size=19pt]NAME[/size]

Hiswordxray:
Adam is also different from Eve or you are saying the Bible lied when it said Adam and Eve became one flesh?

Your Adam and Eve argument have been treated fervently already..so drop it.

All mankind came from Adam i guess we are one flesh with Adam.

Hiswordxray:
Did any verse in the New testament mentioned the name Yahweh in the English translation?

So what is your aimless point? What is the name of the God referred to in that verse (Act 20:28)?

Hiswordxray:
[s]If I command you to go and steal and the police arrest you. Would the court relive you of all charges just because I was the one that commanded you to do it?
Of course No. They will charge you guilty of stealing. If Anybody should says. "No he didn't steal it was the person that commanded him that steal".such a person would sound foolish.

So you sound foolish when you say "Jesus didn't took his life back from the death, it was his Father that commanded him"

Whether they commanded him or not the truth is that Jesus took is life back from the death. [/s]

Stop lying!

Stop being deceitful..here are the verses again.

(John 10:17-18) " 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Matt.28:18 "18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

-So who gave him the power and command?
The father is the one responsible for that power ok!

Hiswordxray:
Is Adam separate from Eve?
answer:
1) Yes Adam is separate from Eve.
2) No Adam is one flesh with Eve.

The two answers are correct, therefore the simple answer to the question is "Yes and No"

Even siamese twins are not the same flesh.

Yahweh is different from Jesus the son. Your Adam and Eve argument is weak here.

Hiswordxray:
"Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood." (Acts 20:28)

So tell me who died on the cross?

You lack scriptural understanding..did that verse said Yahweh died on the cross?

Stop this madness already, you are not making sense.

Hiswordxray:
Thank you for those verses.
Only Jesus could give his life and him alone could take his life back.
So tell me who took Jesus life back from the death?

Stop being deceitful..here is the complete verse.

(John 10:17-18) " 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Matt.28:18 "18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

-So who gave him the power and command?
The father is the one responsible for that power ok!

CANTICLES:
Is that what I asked you ?

This biblical statement has no translation bias at all ... Its clearly written " God is the head of Christ" 1 Cor 11:3 ! Do u belive that statement ?

He is hell bent on twisting scriptures..how can a true Christian say this "Jesus and Yahweh died on the cross."

Hiswordxray:
Jesus and Yahweh raised Jesus from the death.

Lies..where do you learn this?

Here; God the Father raised Jesus (Acts 2:24, 32; 3:15, 26; 4:10; 5:30; 10:40; 13:30, 33, 34, 37).
God raised Him up again (Rom. 4:24; 6:4 [through the glory of the Father]); 10:9; 1 Cor. 6:14; Gal. 1:1; Col. 2:12).

Though The Son Himself lays down His life and takes it up again — John 10:17-18
This he does by the authority of the father.

Optimall:
Who raised who nah?

I think I give up for him..Jesus might have to come down from the cross by himself to break him out of his delusion.

Hiswordxray:
Yes and No.

You're not really bright are you?..or you are just joking?

Hiswordxray:
Jesus and Yahweh died on the cross.

Bwahahaha.. , where did you get this from?

Hiswordxray:
I'm not confused, I'm simply speaking the wisdom of God in a mystery.
"But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory," (1Cor 2:7)

You are speaking fallacy..God has nothing to do with what you are saying here.

" 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— " (1John 1:1-2)

Hiswordxray:
Jesus and Yahweh are not the same person but they are the only one true God. I worship the one true God.
