Nice thread.
Christianity EtcRe: Difficult Bible Questions by MightySparrow: 4:56pm On Oct 04, 2014
Paul was not talking about no of days in the graves but the fact that Jesus was going to be killed as sacrifice for sin. The Bible did not actually say that He was going to be hanged on a cross. In fact, if any one would think of His death as sacrifice, it was reasonable to be offered on an altar. Galatian 3: 13 - 14 was interpreted by Paul by quoting Deuteronomy to infer that man's curse fell on Jesus by the kind of death He died.
Having said that, Jesus said, the Jonah's experience was equivalent to a prophecy. This He called a 'sign'. What is a sign?
An occurrence that validates a 'call' A seal of divine backing.
Certain things of sort like these are fulfilled in then earthly ministry of Jesus that are taken for prophecy.
In theological circle, they are called types and anti - types.
A type is an occurrence that happens in OT or a personality that manifested that acted as what the ministry of Jesus stands for.
Shiloh for instance refers to a person in Genesis 49:10; a place in first Samuel 3: 21, and understood to be Jesus in NT.


I hope your question is answered.

Reiyvinn: Please stop talking nonsense, I have never been a JW (wasn't it my thread: Question For JWs, you once commented on?)

If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave that to you. I have no interest in winning any argument with you, I'd advice to read my thread again. Thank you.
Ok , I am sorry, I insist, read the Isaiah 6 account and compare the statement with John 12: 41 and also Acts 28: 23 - 27. They are about none else but Jesus.
Let us resolve this.
You know in all the Bible, the most controversial things about Jesus are written by John.

He wrote 'these said Isaiah when he saw Jesus' glory and spoke of him. (NIV)
Then I will ask another question from the same John.
One of the questions is the meaning of 'glory'

Christianity EtcRe: The Prophet Of Allah by MightySparrow: 7:41pm On Oct 03, 2014
Empiree: Good question. What they fail to realize is, those prophets you mentioned are sources of guidance in their times like Jesus in his time, his people must accept him as savior. Those people before Jesus must accept them to go to heaven. Same applies to Prophet Muhammad(saw). Since there is and will be no prophet or messanger after prophet Muhammad, we (mankind since the time of Muhammad till end of the world must accept and follow prophet Muhammad (saw).
Follow Mohammed to where he did not know where he was going?
God forbid.
Christianity EtcRe: A Question For Trinitarian Christians by MightySparrow: 2:40pm On Oct 03, 2014
Reiyvinn: John 12:41 does not refer to Isaiah 6. There is no proof of that!

The only places Isaiah talks of a messiah are Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 42, 53! (one of which may have possibly referred to)

John 1:1 talks of the Word being WITH God. How can the Word be THAT God he is with?

"The Word was God" according to the Bible, only refers to Jesus being "in the form (Gk, Morphe) of God" (Php 2:6) whereby, since he is called the "begotten/born son of God," he carries what is sort of like "God's DNA." He, according to the Bible, has God nature and fullness but is NOT God himself!

The same challenge I have with you is that you do not follow texts logically but brings statements out of context and build doctrine around it.
Argument always bring dishonesty. You want to prove how right you are, even if you know you are wrong.

Read these texts carefully and follow the argument and proceedings. Isaiah six is talking about no other person but Jesus.
Let us reach a conclusion, I still will ask another question.

Reiyvinn: Isaiah said, ". . . I saw the LORD upon a throne. . ."

pretty much speaks for itself.

According to the writer, it was the same "LORD" that refers to the messiah as "HIS servant"
So John 12: 41 is wrong or unreliable or the scripture can be broken or you are not honest?

What about John 1:1? Is the word God?

PastorKun: Before Mohamed, the descendants of ishmael(Arabs) were mostly pagans and they never had any interaction with God. That is why when mohamed came around he had to plagiarise parts of the bible(to gain credibility) then remix it to suit his personal agenda. Also he adopted many prominent men in the old testament into the quoran as prophets due to lack of understanding even though most of them were not prophets but just leaders amongst the jewish people.
So Qur'an is a divine fraud?

Christianity EtcRe: "What Does The Bible Say About Dinosaurs? Are There Dinosaurs In The Bible?" by MightySparrow: 9:33am On Oct 02, 2014
OLAADEGBU: The keyword there is "educated." smiley



Bones of dinosaurs that became fossils didn't necessarily decay it just became fossilised. Some soft tissue has been found in some of the fossilised dinosaurs which proves that they have only been fossilised for thousands of years not millions as the evolutionists will have you believe.



The Bible talks about Dinosaurs. It's just that they were only named Dinosaurs recently. Job called it Behemoth.



The Behemoth mentioned in Job (Job 40:15) fit's the description of Dinosaurs such as the brachiosaurus and the diplodocus, and it's huge tail could easily be compared to a cedar tree. True science confirms the Bible.
With the millions of years spoken of by scientists it is not likely that home sapiens lived with those dinosaurs. This issue of archeological excavations and "skillful" dressings are what piss me off. It is good to imagine but there are limits where imaginations become unreasonable.

For instance, think of the word infinity in mathematical science: as good as the word is to satisfy scientists wits limit, it is only reasonable in theories but not in practice. My humble self trained as an engineer, ask any engineer about his idea of infinity, if he could design a road with infinity dimensions. Or put a machine that travels through space to the infinite ends of the universe.
This alarming figures and carbon dating that cannot detect footballers ages less than or about twenty years but millions of unimaginable years is wearisome.

Christianity EtcRe: A Question For Trinitarian Christians by MightySparrow: 8:08pm On Sep 30, 2014
Start from these scriptures please read carefully before posting anything.


" Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed." Isaiah 6: 10

John 12: 39 - 41
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.


Whose glory did Isaiah see here, read and be honest?
Christianity EtcRe: A Question For Trinitarian Christians by MightySparrow: 4:16pm On Sep 30, 2014
Reiyvinn: I'm quite sure that most Nairaland Christians are mainstream Christians, involving Trinitarians and Orthodox so I trust that I'll be getting some answers here.

Granted, I'd just like to throw this little question to you guys:

Isaiah 6:1 reads:

Isaiah writes that he saw the LORD sitting upon a Throne (a single throne).

Ezekiel 1:1, 26-28 reads:



Ezekiel writes that in his vision, he saw God who had the appearance of A man (a single person) sitting on A throne (a single throne) and He is the LORD God almighty.

But. . .

According to the Trinitarian teaching, the LORD God is a composition of three SEPARATE entities/person bound together by one nature, the Godhead. (correct me if I got this wrong)

And, from the Bible again,

Stephen, when talking to the council of Pharisees, Sadducees, e.t.c said:



Now we have three instances:

1.) The LORD God sits on ONE Throne.

2.) The appearance of God to Ezekiel was the likeness of ONE Man.

3.) Jesus sits and the right hand side of God.

Questions:

## God sits on how many throne(s)huh

## If THREE, what about Isaiah 6:1?

## If ONE, does that reconcile with the fact that Jesus sits at the right hand side of God?

OR as Ezekiel said he saw, is God just One person..... Not three??

Please I need your views.
1. The Isaiah 6 you quoted is not complete. If you read the whole chapter, and compare it with John 14: 40 - 41, there are talking about Jesus.
2. The account of Ezekiel's account is talking about the Holy Ghost. It is the business of Holy Ghost to reveal things pas, present and those to come.
3. The account of Stephen is about Father and Son together, in a vision. One of the scriptural names of Jesus is 'The Branch' meaning what? He is a part of a body.
4. In the concluding part or Revelations there was only one throne mentioned called the throne of God and of the lamb with lamb having seven horns which are seven Spirits of God.
Christianity EtcRe: What If Jesus Comes Today And Says There's No Heaven Or Hell? by MightySparrow: 3:34pm On Sep 30, 2014
HFOG: Hmm...deep questions. For me I think I have no regrets living as a Christian. Aside the heaven matter, I've profited alot from righteous living here on earth. It's kept me from lots of complications. It's made my life a simple, free and full one. No guilt over the past. Nothing to hide. No fear. Answers to prayers. Divine healing and health. Prosperity, peace and progress. Etc etc.
However, if there is no heaven the greatest thing I'll miss is that I'll not stay with the God who loves me so. The One beside whom I have no other. The Greatest, Highest and 'Bestest'. It means that when we die that's all. That's a hopeless end I'll say and that's what makes all the difference between believers and non-believers. Where we read as a family this morning (I Peter 1) talks about an incorruptible inheritance kept for us in heaven. Paul says it well that if in this life only we have hope we are of all men most miserable. I'll just take God at His Word and believe He has reserved for me all He says He has. Thinking any less of that already cripples the foundation upon which my faith stands. Without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that must come to Him must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that deligently seek Him. May the Lord keep us standing till the end.
I will have lived a morally upright time following his teachings hurting no one. I will have been one of the finest people who lived in this world, I will have no regrets.
Christianity EtcRe: "What Does The Bible Say About Dinosaurs? Are There Dinosaurs In The Bible?" by MightySparrow: 3:19pm On Sep 30, 2014
The other day I was reading a book on Astronomy by one Professor Evans Davies. In it he said, Beyond our Solar system, what we have is 'educated guesses''.

All the documentary I have watched on dinosaurs are constructions of what scientists think, dinosaurs could be.
I ask this question: if bones of animals and trees decay over time to become fossil fuels and none of these creatures are preserved in thy icy part of the world, we may just be chasing the wind.
The biggest of CERN has not been able to discover the tiniest particle there is. The tiniest ever found will always exhibit a characteristic that will lead to further question.

The most reasonable account of creation and the end of it as it is being unfolded by human history still remains the Bible. It is the only record than traces man and woman to then first persons, tells us the origin of continents, and the dispersion of human race from a common origin. It also tells us of the invisible world of spirits and their interaction with us.
I doubt the existence of dinosaurs as well as the existence of any big bang.

To me , the Bible account is most reasonable. and , in scientific dating, there is no way dinosaurs could have existed in the time of job, the grandson of Jacob.
FamilyRe: Real Men Do Not Beat Their Wives by MightySparrow: 11:27am On Sep 29, 2014
dandydaniels: I am proud of my dad...that real g (rip to his soul) didn't beat my mum...He's a real man

there's a big difference between fear and respect...u can't punch out respect from your wife only fear

the story making rounds in almost every blog site is how teebillz have turned his wife tiwa savage into a punching bag...brother if that's true...I repeat if* that's true.... then you are not a real man

women are lesser beings(fact)....why waste your strength and time beating them? bro c'mon! they are made to be loved...to be bought clothes...jewelries...cars...taken to cool places...pampered...and at night made to sing in tongues to their creator

for the real men out there...let's control our tempers and treat every woman...not just our wives with respect. when it comes to women affairs,my dad is my role model. " never beat a woman son"

STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
You'd rather praised your mother for being a virtuous woman. He manages your father well. Many women out there for the sake of the society's frown on women beating misbehave and be the ones to slap their husbands first or want to dominate using force not femininity given to them by God. Many have ruined their God's ordained marriages by their misbehaviour.

Most notorious among these are so to say penterascal women who think their husbands are trapped by doctrine. Do not fuss yet, I know what I am talking about by my work.

That Is not to say there no beastly men who should be living in zoos. They cannot just manage their women. They take pleasure in making their women unhappy and living in bandage.
Christianity EtcRe: A Question For Jehovah's Witnesses by MightySparrow: 8:13pm On Sep 28, 2014
I could not finish the article. however, the little I read pissed me off.
The write could not differentiate between 'raising from the dead' a temporary miracle (Those who are raised still died) and Resurrection a permanent miracle. Jesus was resurrected and needs to die no more, others were raised from the dead including Lazarus. The first was raised in earthly body; the other in a spiritual body that can pass through a wall. See the rest from 1 Cor. 15: 40 - end
The inability to make this distinction make nonsense of the article.
