Problem was they did honour my skill but I would have preferred them to reflect on God more.

After breadcrumbs, instead of the Bread of Life (i.e. John 6:35) tsk, tsk, tsk.

delishpot:
LoL naim na. Bro Jonah no want God to mercy for wicked people hence I said God's justice is overwhelming to human sensibilities . Make I no lie, I be like Jonah at this moment.

You can be like Jonah, just dont go beyond your remit. Of course, you can do tough love, and dont suffer ignoranuses gladly, all that is/are allowed, lol. Just be careful whatever you decide to do, doesnt cost you setting foot on Canaan, and only to be seeing it from afar, or doesnt cost you ending up in the belly of a whale, so that your brain can be slapped back reset to holy default settings, lol

delishpot:
I know God bankrolls. People of this world can be frustrating too. They don't want God, they only want what God can give to them. I know cos I used to do some let's say "prophetic" stuff here on NL and majority don't want to hear serve God and watch him do his will in your life.

A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household, in here on NL, lol

delishpot:
They wanted to hear when God will make them rich, healed, successful etc. They want those things but don't want God. Its hard and frustrating. God help us.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God And His righteousness; And all these things, rich, healed, successful etc shall be added unto you, lol

delishpot:
Haha there are few chosen they just don't know what is happening to the world.

They must be the five unwise virgins then. Nothing wrong in sleep, everybody needs Sabbath now and then else you just drop dead from doing flat out, body nobi wood, but just at least make sure there's oil in your lamp, if you're to fall asleep

delishpot:
Just as bro Moses was like nah lord.... Pick someone else me I am a stammerer

Moses was just trying to be modest. Moses was like, nah, meanwhile o fe she, meaning he really deep down wasnt interested, lol. If he wasnt, he wouldnt have stopped, turned around and walk over to investigate a bush on fire, but not consumed or burning off, lol

delishpot:
and bro jonah went a hiding instead of going to nineveah (spelling)

We all know what ate bro Jonah's goat. Let to bro Jonah, God shouldnt be merciful with Nineveh, so when God did, bro Jonah wasnt a happy bunny, then got afterwards stroppy, doing AWOL, on top of behaving like a spoilt brat. Sorry bro Jonah for the frankness, lol

delishpot:
� na fire naim God dey use sweep this types of children out. Its only a great sign from God that quickens those feet if not, they will run and keep hiding.

Fire purifies, clears out dross, lol

delishpot:
You think it's easy to be called by God?

Its as easy as saying your A, B, C, called by God

delishpot:
You will see undeserving people get mercy, you will see those you believe deserve mercy meet harsh judgement. Your human mind has to be put away.

He who pays the piper, calls the tune nah.
No bad belle in all that nah

delishpot:
Look through the Bible or any religious text and see how hard the life of prophets who walk with God is. It's a very tasking thing.

Hard life of prophets dont last forever, it's hard prophets that last. Who goes to war without counting the cost first, huh?

delishpot:
Most of the ones we have showing off today and the wanna bes following after their footsteps are just men using God's name to eat and grow rich.

"Ẹri wọn lẹhin Jesu, no mean say dem be disciples" loosely translated means "Not necessarily everyone you see following behind Jesus, is a disciple"

delishpot:
Me I am hiding from God's calling as in I just want to love God but the prophet work I will hide from it. Only someone who fears God will understand the burden.

You dont know what you are missing. God's calling comes with loadsa unimaginable perks, lol. Ask Enoch, ask father Abraham God's friend, ask prophet Elijah separated from prophet Elisha by a chariot of fire with horses of fire, ask prophet Moses and ask him how he got being a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth, lol, the list who to ask, is that long, I can go on forever

He bankrolls, equips and commissions you, when God calls you for a mission.

delishpot:
MOGs, most of those are fraudsters.

This goes without saying nah, lol

delishpot:
God is far from their hearts. They are wicked devil's.

Time is a snitch, sooner or later, you can bet, time will tell, lol.

delishpot:
The few real ones are emotionally overwhelmed by the crazy, cray happening on earth. They just want to lock themselves up in a closet and pray.

If there are any few real ones that are emotionally overwhelmed, then they are like "Alfa ti onirugbọ and/or woli ti o mo Ọlọrun niyen" loosely translated means "Muslim Imam without bia-bia, or prophet who doesnt know or believe in God"

"The few real ones are emotionally overwhelmed by the crazy, cray happening on earth. They just want to lock themselves up? ..." that's a misnomer, lol.

Bubu could not get 5 pushups done. He was already failing in his health. Una want kukuma finish the small energy him get?
Anyhow sha, Reno did what he did cos that's how best he knew how to do it. Bubu will not respond. Buhari is not known to appear anywhere even if its an official invite neither is he known to apologise to anyone even if his supporters go about murdering people while chanting his Sai Baba slogan. In the end he got made the president 2ce. Bubu's philosophy is...… "leave them, this too shall pass"

Where the other moGs? MoGs please stand up. Stand up to come do push ups and to represent, lol

TVC News, to start with, is a source

MrPresident1:
It is happening and becoming clearer.

The Abule Ado explosion was a meteor, the Akure explosion that is now now on front page is a meteor (Asteroid impact on earth)

GamalNasser:
I have checked up NASA sentry and NEAT platform and they didn't report any impact from a meteorite or asteroid today, if it was, it will be there, they monitor impacts and neat Earth situations as regards asteroids

samwise180:
From what I heard
The actual story of what happened in Akure.
The Governor is with them right now addressing the issue.
An unknown truck conveying explosives caught fire around 1:00am and exploded along Akure-Owo Road and the vehicle is currently buried in the sand.

The first thing that dropped into my mind upon hearing the Akure explosion was, probably them Chinese operating clandestinely trying to go about their illegal minerals mining operations

Now current and/or up to date news, filtering in, states a truck owned by a quarry company carrying explosives is what caused the explosion at Ilu-Abo in Akure north local government area of Ondo State and that the explosion created a big ditch on the Akure/Owo road. So what's all the talk of a meteor (Asteroid impact on earth) all about nah, eh? Smh.

Reno, this is not worth your time. I mean debunk but asking Bubu to do pushup? We all know the man is old na. He did his when he was in position to do pushups.

The problem is not about funding. The problem Nigeria has is about top bosses and cabal in govt institutions embezzlement. The govt is so corrupt that it can not fight corruption with clean hands. Its like a mother whose child steals but she does her best to prevent other people's children from stealing her money.

If you hear how much the govt has spent on these institutions from time immemorial, you will be shocked. So, let all man be held accountable.

Reno Omokirikiri did 20 push ups to shame his haters, posting fake news he has coronavirus and after completing the show off, threw the gauntlet down at PMB, that he too should come on social media to do similar or same, to show he too is healthy, fit and have no coronavirus.

Now, TBJ, just there in that clip, did 15 or was it 16 easily done push ups. Well done. Not bad considering he is defo older than Reno.

COVID-19 has so many subtle lessons it is teaching, but so many for the trees, can't see woods. Very good wholesome right from the start, straight through to the end broadcast, hence my like.

Here is evidence that Noah, Abraham,Jacob and the ancient World all knew God's law.

Apostle John says it has been existing from the beginning.
commandments has been existing since the beginning of the World.

2 John 1:6
"And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."

Noah, Abraham, Jacob and the ancient World all knew God's law. About commandments that have been existing since the beginning of the World, that Apostle John confirms has been existing from the beginning.

The law of aerodynamics has been existing since the beginning of the world. When the Wright brothers took advantage of this law, it defied, nullified, made inoperative and made it look useless, another law that says, what goes up, must come crashily down.

Without proof-texting with 2 John 1:6, like you've attempted to do, let it be known that, if you know love, if you understand what love is, if you love yourself. You would rest and not work to the full, all out and flat out until drop dead.

Maximus69, is coaxing and corralling you, but despite all that, you're headstrong and obstinate to the extent of digging in your heels to not bulge.

Let me ask you these questions:
1/ Do you flick on the electric switches in your home providing electricity coming from the national grid and managed or supplied by the local Electricity Distribution Company (DISCO), hmm?
2/ Have you considered that if you believe Saturday is Sabbath, and so is a sin to work on that day, then you're complicit in breaking the Sabbath through your making use of electricity generated by another working on Saturday, erhn?

blueAgent:
You claim that the law was not known to Abraham,Noah and the ancient people before Sinai.

You were insinuating that Abraham did not keep the sabbath because it was not written literally.

But the fact is that, how did Abel and Cain know that they were suppose to sacrifice to God if they were not told by God?

If we agree that God gave them the instruction even though it was not clearly written, then while is it impossible and illogical for you to believe that Adam, Eve, Abraham, Noah and all others kept the sabbath day and obeyed all of God's commandments?

Maximus69:
(1) Adam and Eve were driven out of the garden of Eden, their children can see the two angels standing right there at the entrance of the garden with the flaming sword turning itself speedily, their parents no doubt would have told them why they were thrown out of the Paradisiac garden.
Of course the children would always think of what they can do to reconcile with the owner of the garden! The Bible never recorded any further discussion between God and the first human couple after the event in Eden, therefore Cain and Abel used their instinct to think of how they can regain what their parents lost! That's why they both presented gifts before the owner of the garden. The Bible never mentioned anything about a Sabbath or whether the gifts were offered on a Sabbath!

"¹And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain.
“With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.
²Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel.
Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.
³So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
⁴while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
⁵but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
⁶“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?
⁷If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
- Genesis 4:1-7

Open doors discussions between God and the first two children, Cain and Abel would have happened and be regular thing because the Bible in Genesis 4:7, records of God telling Cain, that Cain knows, probably from previous discussions, whats right to do, in order for him obtain acceptance, but Cain because of his nature wasn't ready for getting with the program and/or not genetically inclined to do the right thing

Both Cain and Abel, respectively and/or individually exercised either doing it "my way" and wrong or "God's way" and right. It is no secret that Abel was bullseye, spot-on, right on target, bang on the money, in exercising faith (i.e. Hebrews 11:4) He Nike, just do it, "God's way" and right.

Maximus69:
Since it wasn't WRITTEN, and people from all the nations do worship one way or another, it's evident that God created us with the desire to worship. So it's doesn't necessarily mean it must be on a Sabbath, but one thing is certain:- God is pleased when his worshipers are ORGANIZED!

How do you mean "... God created us with the desire to worship?"
What in that context of yours is the meaning of "worship"?
How then, is this worship carried out? Is it a song of praises done, with hymns, dancing etcetera?
Was God pleased with people getting organized and then deciding to build a tower which was to reach to heaven, to make a name for themselves?

blueAgent:
Stop dragging us back with your long story.

The purpose of the sabbath has not changed, which is the creation of the Universe so therefore its function cannot also change.

A 1 Timothy 3:16 smart worker reflects on the long story he/she has received and doesnt does not give in to impatience and/or impudence

Just as I figured that the substance of the post would go swoosh, flying over your head, as if, like its a Naija airforce fighter jet, lol.

The purpose of the sabbath is to teach resting. Not the creation of the Universe as you just up there erroneously allude to brother.

1/ How many types and/or kind of sabbaths, do you know and are aware of of, lol?
2/ Name and describe the sabbaths you know
3/ What does sabbath mean and/or signify.
4/ What purpose is sabbath made for?

Maximus69:
The quotations you add to your comments are always out of context!

Christians in the first century are hiding from Judaists who want them dead by all means!

So it's not safe to meet together all of them at once after the order that the Sanhendrin (Jewish high court) gave them to stop preaching, teaching or worshiping in Jesus name! Act 5:28

The Jews only have time to search for the Christians on the Sabbath day when everyone is less busy with daily transactions, so the Christians can't be that stupid to organize themselves for worship exactly that same day!

They meet back then in smaller groups and they make sure Jews don't know this until when the persecution was intense and they have to run away from JERUSALEM leaving only the Apostles behind!

So when they get to other countries, they only organize themselves for worship not necessarily on a Sabbath day!

They try to ascertain the days and times convenient for each person so that the day that's convenient for you will be the day and time of your meeting with your Christian brothers and sisters will be scheduled. And so it was easy for them to continue with their meetings UNNOTICED!

You concluded your response with Jesus' comment regarding what the Jewish community has turned the place of worship to, please did he say anything about Sabbath there? Jesus never mandated any day in particular for Christian meetings!
In fact he ruled out the Sabbath when his followers started plucking grains and eating which is a complete violation of the Sabbath that the Jews know from time immemorial! Luke 6:1-2

How do you mean, He ruled out the Sabbath? What is that suppose to mean?

TATIME:
Glory be to the most high God!
How i wish i'm in your shoes right now bro Maximus!

MuttleyLaff's moving image displayed actually mean that you 'Maximus' is a PEST in their gathering. You were right after all, he truly is their brother and they're just partially against one another. The spirit navigating their minds knows who is not part of them.

Exactly what the Jewish prosecutor accusing Apostle Paul before the Roman authority said that faithful day! Act 24:5
I'm really proud of you my brother!

Maximus69:
I've checked it bro!
It's true! It's true!!
This is wonderful!
The Jewish prosecutor actually referred to Paul as a "PEST"!

You this man, you're still riding on this your high horse, erhn? Its going to be a big drop from that height.

Quit getting turned on and having a hard on. No one sees you as a pest, what you are seen as, is a promise breaker, a man of no integrity, a man indisciplined enough to easily break his word and come back to his vomit. That's all, that's what, you are infamously known for, on this thread.

Shame your staff major TATIME wouldnt admit this to you and is leading you up the garden path

budaatum:
You are in error. Instead of realising you have read what some say about God, you seem to think you read God's own account of God's actions. Its a common error, but a grave one which I can only hope you evolve away from. I'm certain you would not make the same error if I told you God told me you will evolve.

"²The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,
³but of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”"
- Genesis 3:3

Buddha is right, dont take on face value what Buddha says and/or even a God "has said" merely because it agrees with your reason or your common sense. Fyi, nowhere in the Bible, did God ever say "you must not touch ..."

FOLYKAZE:
I seriously don't do or get myself involved in faith things. As rightly defined in the bible, faith is a conviction and hope for substances and phenomenon that have no emperical evidence.

There was no need to bring in Hebrews 11:1 nah

FOLYKAZE:
Though I am a spiritual conscious person, tends toward Isese but not a dedicated adherent. Love all philosophies and logical reasoning in Ifa particularly, and in Ecclesiastics of the bible.

Abami Ẹda Baba Fẹla Anikulapo-Kuti

Ha-ah, "Iṣeṣe". Dont worry you arent, per se, on trial, lol. Well, not yet, lol.

Abami Ẹda, prolly got the "cul-ulture and tradition" chorus inspiration in "Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense" 1986 sagacious tune from "Iṣeṣe".

Anyway, FOLYKAZE, please, you'll have to, you just, must help me with the following:
1/ What is "Iṣeṣe"?.
2/ What does "Iṣeṣe" mean?
3/ Translate "Iṣeṣe" as best, as you can manage, preferably in a way that can be understood layman's terms, lol.
4/ What is Ifa?
5/ Is Ifa religion or is Ifa a faith/belief system?
6/ Do you believe in Ifa divination, knowledge, power, performance and/or "Iṣeṣe"?
7/ Do you know that Disney has a bible for their characters, so that people who draw Disney characters know how to draw and to make them look correct, hmm? So FOLYKAZE, just as, believers have the Bible, lol, what written literature, has Ifa and/or "Iṣeṣe, " please? Muslim, clever clogs though piggybacked on the Bible, bastardised it, to come up with the Quran, lol
8/ Of course, you know, I am showing you that you too are standing on this same table, you are shaking. I am turning around the same wobbly table you're standing on and have the gall to shake against you. I am coming after and/or at you about Orunmila, the historicity of Ifa and your justification of faith in Ifa, hmm?. What are they, FOLYKAZE, please, I daresay and/or ask, hmm?

FOLYKAZE:
Yes I agree and very much accept.

Good. You're very kind. Thanks. I was just checking we are on same page and/or singing from a same hymn book ni, lol.

FOLYKAZE:
Why should I blame them? Every conscious mind out there, JW inclusive, have freedom of religion, conviction and thoughts.

Good, but the freedom, to abuse, misuse and/or disuse freewill, is what's not on brother.

FOLYKAZE:
The bible is largely ambiguous and open to multiple meanings.

Erhn now, thats true.There is no success without struggle, lol. Remember the intro keyword, subdue. We dont let the bible's ambiguity get the better of us, so we have a back up plan, a Paraclete, lol.

Tbh with you, the bible is more, a case of a book of elusive entendres, lol. Genesis chapters 1 to 3 is polysemous and full of recondite information, lol. There is more than the eyes see. Even that rather racy Genesis chapter 3, if not multiple entendres, is full of double meanings, lol. If you know, you know. Who no know, no go know.

FOLYKAZE:
JW, like the white garment church, have the right to interpret the bible in their own understanding, and following it according to their conviction.

The right any believer has, is to interpret the bible correctly and not interpret it, in accordance to their own understanding.

How many people interpret Deuteronomy 22:20-22 and follow it according to their conviction, hmm? The western part have a colloquial that say "Ti a ba nsunkun, a maa riran" this when loosely translated means "crying and streaming tear waterdrops, doesnt cause one not to have sense see road waka"

FOLYKAZE:
That is what religion do, I am right and every others are wrong.

This is what religion that is not true, pure and the sort not approved off, by God, because of its fault(s), does, lol

FOLYKAZE:
That is your viewpoint and I respect that.

Ọdun Agẹmọ, o yato si, Halloween party. Awọn bi tẹyin bayi, ẹ dowo mọ nau, tẹ bari. Of course, you have no choice, not to respect pukka view(s). Anybaggar, who say your water no go boil hin own water no go hot. No be curse oo, its whats called the boomerang clause, lol

Maximus69:
Never mind Sir!

You're already getting along very well with your BROTHER!

People use insecticides to remove pests in their homes, because these are unwanted agents. After the pests are gone, the next thing is a pleasant aroma and welcoming atmosphere to accommodate friends and families (wanted agents).

Since no has, neither do I condemn you Maximus69, so go and from now on, sin no more.

How common is false positive.? Well, I've just spotted one, in the above Staff Major TATIME post, who all of a sudden and/or overnight has turned into a psychic and now posseses extrasensory powers that makes him know of what others mean with gifs and their posts. Blind leading and patting the zombified blind on the back, smh.

TATIME, your bwoy, Maximus69, is free to return to his vomit, lol. No one is holding him back nor policing him, lol. He's only going to flounder again ni anyways, lol. Just please, remind him, as he waltzes in and about, upandan the place, not to sin no more, lol

blueAgent:
Another point I want to get across to you is that, while God wants us to observe the sabbath day, that is to cease from our own works and to worship him.

He knows it cannot be perfectly done in this our fallen state.

E.g on a sabbath day it would be impossible for everyone to attend service because there are certain professions that cannot stop working 24hrs 365days example the police force, oil refinery, Oil rigs offshore, emergency personnel's e.t.c even the taxi one will board in order to get to his or her Church will not be available if we all observed the sabbath at the same time, that does not mean that Sunday is acceptable, No.

Rather am trying to show you the reality of the situation

Jesus knew about this that was why he rebuked the Pharisees who questioned him for doing good (healing) on the sabbath day.

What God expects is that we try as much as possible to avoid work or any activity that would cause us to miss the sabbath day.
Secondly work activities on the sabbath for unavoidable services can be reduced to the smallest possible size.

Workers in such establishment can still pray together worship and praise God.

shadeyinka:
??

"Then Jesus declared,
“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
(i.e. The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people,
and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath)"
- Mark 2:27

Mark 2:23-27, contextually, even shows how our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world, Jesus Christ, explains, that God did not have the Sabbath and then man to serve this day. That, the Sabbath, actually and/or in the first place, was made to serve man and to be for his/her benefit, as well, as being. Our bodies are not concrete, cement nor wood. We need to rest, so to regain expended strength and power so to manage and/or maintain our health, well-being and wellness. The other truth of the whole Sabbath matter, is that God didnt necessarily have to rest, but He, leading by example, did. He acted in this way, to show us how to act. Leave to us we will work round the clock, running and chasing after money until we run ourselves down, run out of steam and then unceremoniously fall to the ground and prematurely just like that drop dead. You dont lead, "thou shall not... thou shall keep my ...," by lip service, you lead by example. The "lead by example," is not the main thing, in positively influencing us, it is the only thing, lol. Leading by example is the most powerful advice you can give to anyone, and so after the sixth day, God rested on the seventh, lol

"Let no man disturb you about food or about drink or in the distinctions of feasts and beginnings of months and Sabbaths,
(i.e. Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days)"
- Colossians 2:16

"And after the sabbaths, it being dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb."
- Matthew 28:1

Now, my two beloved, lovingly dear loggerhead with each other brothers shadeyinka and blueAgent, locking horns on the matter of when is Sabbath in regards to being Saturday, Sunday or whatever day, let me draw an image to conjure up a picture in your minds to illustrate, whats going on here. I remember, when young and growing up as a child or kid, lights out was 9pm or 21:00 hours. This means, whether, I feel like it or not, whether I want to or not, it meant it was bedtime. It was not open to discussion, no debates, no arguments, it just was not negotiable other than I have to be in bed by 9pm or 21:00 hours, BUT, lol, when I finally came of age, when I transitioned from childhood to adulthood, when I have developed completely and reached maturity, I didnt necessarily have to stick to that 9pm or 21:00 hours lights out and bedtime seemingly unarbitrary order, lol.

The 9pm or 21:00 hours lights out and bedtime, seemingly unarbitrary order, lol, was made for me and my siblings, not my siblings and I for the 9pm or 21:00 hours lights out and bedtime, seemingly unarbitrary order. It was a laid down rule, set there for our needs, not us for its needs. Our needs, like for example, to refreshen our tired bodies, you of course, know when we were kids, how full of beans and/or energy we are, growing u, jumping up here and there, rolling and runnning up all over the place, tumbling down the hill etcetera.

The long and short of the nolstagic story, is that, now that we are grown, now that we've matured in sense, wisdom and become disciplined. sometimes we go to bed before 9pm or 21:00 hours, after 9pm or 21:00 hours, at 9pm or 21:00 hours and surprisingly, maybe with lights on, lol. The reality now, is that the hard and fast rule is no more there. At my age, it is now flexible, is what Colossians 2:16 above is saying, and no man can judge me for when and how I choose to have my rest (i.e. sabbath)

By the way, the plural sabbath in Colossians 2:16 and Matthew 28:1 above, this particularly serving as a fao of another brother, going by the moniker name Donnie, is not talking about the seventh day rest but all days of rest which includes the seventh day (i.e. Saturday). There are sabbaths that dont fall on the Saturday, but actually do fall during the week and/or in mid week, lol.

What are we saying here, what is the point made here, lol brethren blueAgent, shadeyinka and my dear pleasing and warm-hearted Donnie, lol, it is that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him that way, lol (i.e. John 4:23) For God has qualified us and made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life, lol (i.e. 2 Corinthians 3:6)

Another quick one, before I close on this. I confidently am sure, each one of you knows about the implication of double solid white lines on our roads, lol. You know about obeying the letter of the double solid white lines law behind it, lol. What of, when to obey the spirit of the double solid white lines law, lol?

As a rule of thumb, I simply don't tell people what to think, I let and/or leave them to think and/or see things out for themselves, lol. I beam a high powered torchlight out for them to see things, the subject, its shape, the intricate body outlines etcetera, what's under the bonnet, whats in the boot, what in the engine, lol by themselves. The time is now, if ever there is a time, to rightly divided the Word of truth. There is no better time than right now for the truth to prevail. It's just heart breaking to watch and see that the light of the truth, can be harsh to those that have been far too long in the dark. Smh, brings mist to my eyes, all this. There are two kinds of light, the glow that illuminates, sheds light upon something for people to clearly see and the glare that obscures because people squint and shut their eyes, as the truth is too harsh for their eyes to see with, lol.

ELI ELI LAMA SABACHTHANI
-This is for Sabbath Keepers (Xhosa/Bantu)
-My God my God, prepare our Sabbath (Bakor/Bantu)

MuttleyLaff:
I would like to break, share and eat bread with you sometime some day brother, lol.

MuttleyLaff:
... It is because there are few and far in between any like you. Just like you, when I see a good thing, I just have to say it out, often wouldnt be able to keep it within myself. I am still unravelling and unwrapping you, to see what else I can see and/or find out about how woke you are, lol. I am just pleased and impressed

I guess, the time is here, now is one of the time, I'll like to break and eat bread with you, lol

donnie:
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? - Mathew 27:46.

Where you find "that is to say" or "which is to be interpreted" in scripture, someone is about to give his own opinion.

The Shabbat of YAHUAH was not commanded to be observed for a period of time but throughout the generations of the children of Israel. We are commanded to teach our children concerning YAHUAH with the observance of Shabbat as well as other feasts of YAH as commanded (which are also sabbaths).
Exodus 31:13
"Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am YAHUAH that doth sanctify you."

And by the way, ELI is short for Elohim (God). The Bakor (Bantu) word Eleim refers to (Power, might, to do) which is the same meaning for the Hebrew word Elohim.

#AwakeOIsrael

Brother Donnie, to start with:
1/ What language did Yahshua Ha Mashiach aka Jesus, the Messiah, the Anointed or Christ, depending on what is your preference, spoke?
2/ What language did the disciples and even the inner caucus disciples conversed, deliberated with our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world earth?
3/ What language is the spoken "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani" (i.e. Mark 15:34) and really "Eli, Eli, lama, sabachthani" (i.e. Matthew 27:46) done in?
4/ What to your understanding is the Matthew 27:46 & Mark 15:34 - "Eli Eli _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _" (I've deliberately blanked out, so to talk more and/or indepth on it, later)
5/ What is the meaning of "lama" and "sabachthani" in Bakor (Bantu), Aramaic and Mishnaic Hebrew?
6/ Why did Yahshua Ha Mashiach utter "Eloi, Eloi/Eli, Eli, lama, sabachthani" on the cross at Calvary?
7/ To whose benefit did Yahshua Ha Mashiach utter out "Eloi, Eloi/Eli, Eli, lama, sabachthani" on the cross at Calvary?
8/ I watched that "40+ Bantu Names in the Scriptures" YouTube clip, you didnt explain that Simon means reed and Peter or Cephas in Greek means rock.

"Then he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said,
"Your name is Simon son of John, but you will be called Cephas."
(This is the same as Peter and means ''a rock.'')'
- John 1:42

Peter's old and/or original/former name, was Simon, which means reed, this to the fact that, he practically, was a wavering person by nature, who just like a river water reed, tall, grass-like plants of wetlands, goes/flows in whatever direction the wind blows it. Anyway, Yahshua Ha Mashiach, renamed him to Peter, signifying a transformation to become resolute and rock steady, lol. You stopped short of acknowledging any of these information/knowledge

There is more to talk about and over this interesting topic "Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani: Messiah Spoke Bantu Language" and I am holding back, amd not asking further grilling questions, just so you dont get to want to withdraw into a shell or bend down to bury head in sand.

Donnie, I hope you dont take me as an intrusion or as something of a negative nature. There is a colloquial in the Western part of the country, that says "orukọ, ma nro niyan" loosely translated means "Names and/or naming, have negative or postive propulsion on the bearer" People say how can God leave Adam alone in a garden with an unprotected "dangerous" but forget Adam wasnt a baby and that Adam had the singular privilege to name animals and so have the responsibility to give them genera/genuses and species names.

Each time God is asked what is your name. He conceals what it is and/or avoids telling except for saying "I AM that I AM". So the tetragrammaton, which is YHWH, is the closest we have of what God's no doubt Omnipotent powerful name is. Why is God not trusting us to know what specifically His Name is. Donnie, please c'mon nah, dont try to push YHW/Yah/Yahweh/Jehovah/YAHUAH,. Even Abba, that was mentioned in that YouTube clip, is a mere endearment word, a sweet nothings, affectionate name like "sweet potato, dahling, dear, my tomato, sugar plum, babe, baby, black coffee, queen, ayaba, olori, mami, big poppa, lollipop" etcetera. I think you feel me and do get my drift.

What's the point I am making here, trying to do it in a very careful and/or gently manner is that you're seem to understand the thread's heading and its subject matter not thoroughly and/or deeply enough which has led you to treat it in way that's feeble, light and lacking depth.

Lets Nike this. Lets Just Do It. Flesh this baby out. Blow it wide open and put the devil to shame, lol. Are you on. Are you game, lol. Afterall iron sharpens iron mehn, lol.

FOLYKAZE:
Faith and religion can be used interchangeably but I chose the word 'faith' instead because it captured comprehensively the believe system of people who adhere to Jesus teachings.

What is the name of the faith you believe in and/or what is it called, this belief system, you buy/have bought into?

I am asking just this one, simple easy, straightforward and direct question, so the smoke preceding the fire wont be too distracting, choking and in anyway blurring to want to block your vision to see clearly. I am also asking, as I, if I can help it, dont like making assumptions, so why l like to get this info from the horse's mouth.

FOLYKAZE:
With 'religion', many would see demarcations, doctrines and divides.

I am sure, you'll agree and accept with me that, sports like, ice hockey, football, soccer etcetera is a religion. Fashion is a religion, atheism is a religion, Christianity, Islam. Altruism, lol, is religion. Even altheism, believe it or not, is a religion, lol.

FOLYKAZE:
Much of the JW for example dont see themselves as Christians whom they believe have been corrupted with paganism.

Aside Christians and/or Christianity being augmented with paganism's rituals, practices and/or tradition, would you really blame JW for not seeing themselves as Christians, hmm FOLYKAZE?

FOLYKAZE:
Bahai faith adopted some of the gospel but do not recognize themselves as Christians. We also have some Gnostic who do not recognize themselves as Christians, ruled out divinity of Christ, miracles and supernatural attributes; they however, embrace the philosophical teaching of Jesus as man. I think people would generally accept the uniformity of 'Christian faith' than carved out religion system which divide them

FOLYKAZE, my guy, quickly scan through the Bible and return back to tell if you will find anywhere in it that mentions Christianity a religion and/or by that name.

The whole idea of pigeonholing belief systems into specific, named groups called "religions" is a relatively modern novel concept, nah.

One of the major philosophical teaching of Jesus, in His capacity as man and divinity, is about one body, ekklesia, called out. The ruling civilization of that time period were the Greeks and normally "Ekklesia" is the assembly of free citizens, to which belonged judicial and legislative power, and from which aliens, slaves and the likes were excluded, but here is Jesus, turning this whole political concept on its head, lol, and now talking about having a gathering of citizens (i.e. any member of the demos/ all people) no discrimination, no prejudices, no sexism etcetera called out from their homes into public space and to partake, deliberate, legislate and be fully inclusive in the sovereign governing body's services, expectations and/or requirement. Praise God. Alleluia.

The point, I am making FOLYKAZE, is God is Christianity atheistic, Christian atheistic and even Christian denomination(s) atheistic, lol, He believes in plain and simple "Ekklesia," His body, lol. Believes in nothing else than His Bride.
