Proanalyst:
Hello designers,

We need a designer who would be working with us for long term.

You would be working mostly on posters and the layout would be clear.

You would already have some distinct background designs to work with so that you can bring in text whenever we need to make a poster.

Our delivery timeline is usually very short since the background is already settled, so you need to be able to work any reasonable time of the day or any day of the week.

If you have experience in animating graphics, you have higher chance of getting the job.


Kindly signify if you are interested in this and we get on board asap.

Thanks.
Hello good morning sir, I will love the opportunity to work with your organization in delivering all of your graphics contents.

You have refused to point out my contradictions as claimed in your earlier response. That gives me an impression you use words flippantly.

That aside, you claim not to be a Muslim and you are apparently not a Christian. So what are you? If you are an atheist it is pointless discussing God with someone who doesn't agree God exists in the first instance. Why I am concerned about your religion is to discern if you really want to learn or already have a position you hold regardless of any evidence or superior argument.

Matthew 24:36 is clear. The Son is Jesus Christ and the Father is Yahweh. Nothing in that verse shatters Trinity eccept you do not know what Trinity means.

Your concluding statement shows you are confused. See, Yahweh is God, Jesus is God but Jesus is not Yahweh. The Son is not the Father. But both the Son and the Father are God. God is a title. God is Godhead. God is Elohim. Elohim can refer to Jesus, Yahweh or the Holy Spirit. The word God is a TITLE! Let that sink in. Just like King.

If you ask a Muslim who created Adam, he will respond that it is Allah (God). But you now ask him why did Allah say in Quran 15:26 that "We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape...". Who are the WE? The average Muslim becomes silent at this point because the concept contradicts his monotheistic God belief. The apologetic Muslim will try to say Allah is trying to honour himself by referring to himself in the plural just like the Yoruba use "They said" for what a single adult said as mark of respect. But this is Allah talking about himself and not a third party report. Who would he say he shared the task of creating Adam with? The answer is explained through Trinity and the Godhead. That WE is borrowed clearly from the Bible. Elohim is plural. And in Genesis 1 God is translated from Elohim in the original Hebrew version. Elohim is Trinity and the Godhead.

So saying you have an argument from the Bible to defeat Trinity shows you have no understanding of Trinity in the first place.
LOL, you guys are quick to term someone who raise a question an atheist, Muslim or unbeliever.
That was how I raised a question in student school and I was given a demon title.

If you failed to figure out your contradictory statement at the 2nd reply, then it's not in my duty to point it out.

This long episode is because you failed to understand or... Let me you subtly don't want to accept the fact the "God" I used in all my statements and biblical verses was referring to "Yahweh"

You've finally answer my question by saying "Jesus is not Yahweh" that's the answer I needed the entire time you were writing epistle.


About the trinity, I smiled reading your reply about me not knowing what it is.

I wouldn't want to drag on that.

To clear your doubts, I believe in God existing... But disagree on so many things Bible scholars taught, wrote, interpret and preach about him.

Babinski:
I will appreciate if you point out the alleged contradictions in my earlier response. He who asserts carries the burden of proof.

Now to respond to you proper, I presume you are not a Christian and just someone picking those verses from the Bible to back a predetermined position. If I presume wrongly, prove me wrong.

I have told you, God is a title and for Christians, that is the Godhead or the Trinity. The original languages of the Bible are Hebrew and Aramaic. If you read through Genesis 1 you would see it used God throughout. But when it came to Genesis 2 it used "The Lord God". In Hebrew the former is Elohim which is generic name for the Godhead and in English is translated as God. The latter is Elohim-Yahweh which specifically refers to the Father in the Godhead and translated in English as Lord God. All your bolded refrences on God are to Elohim which is Godhead. If Jesus uses it, he refers to the Father, Yahweh. If it is used by anyone else, it is simply Godhead and can mean Father, Son or the Holy Spirit.

If you are a Muslim you will find the concept of Trinity or Godhead very hard to understand because the Islamic God has no specific name. Allah is a generic name for the supreme being and even that name predates Islam. And accepting Trinity is contrary to Islamic faith.

However, if you cearly understand that God is a title, just like King, you would see things differently.

The statement in John 10:30 is best understood from John 10:33 where the Jews present and who heard Jesus speak those words said: "We are not stoning you for any good work," they replied, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." Where did Jesus claim to be God? It is none other than in John 10:30 which preceeded their accusation. Both the speaker and hearer clearly understand themselves centuries before you own personal interpretation!

There is no doubt that Jesus saying I and my Father as one imply Jesus is God.
First of all, get rid the impression that I'm a Muslim.

And secondly, you didn't answer my questions I asked in all those verses I quoted.

If you don't have the understanding to answer all of them, I want you to explain Matthew 24:36
because that's the verse simple enough to clear your follies.
If Jesus was God himself, he wouldn't have made the "nor the son" statement... That verse alone has shattered the TRINITY

And please wherever I made use of "God" I'm referring to Yahweh, if that will be clearer to you.

He was sent by God to fulfil a purpose which was to reunite man to God by death on the cross

After which he was exalted and given a name above every other name "Jesus" Philippians 2:9

Meaning it was after he died for man and said that "It is finished" John 19:30 that he concluded the assignment God sent him to do.
How does that according your reply made Jesus God? He was sent by God, simply meaning he's not God.
Christianity Etc › Re: Explain These Bible Verses by Offpoint1: 10:10pm On Sep 12, 2021
Babinski:
Jesus is God.

In John 10:30 Jesus himself said that he and the Father are one. And that was why the Jews sought to kill him because he equated himself with God.

A lot of people do not understand that God is a title and not a specific name. The name of the Father is Yahweh. The Christian God exists in the Godhead (The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) which is the essence of God. The Trinity or Godhead is made up of three distinct entities who are all God because they are manifestations of the Father. God is defined by attributes. God is the creator of the world, the giver of life and forgiver of sins.

Whenever Jesus says "My God", he is referring to the Father but that does not make Jesus not to be God. Jesus has been recorded to forgive sins, give life (even in the Quranic account), was there at creation and would come to judge the world. All these being task and capabilities of God.

In Genesis 1:26, God said "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, ...."
Man is made in the image of God and yet here God says "Let us". Clearly God was not talking to angels or any other beings that could not be equated to Him because those whom He was talking to apparently had the same image with Him. That was why God said "in our image, in our likeness".

In some other religion the concept of God is different and trying to understand the Christian God through their views can create difficulties. For example in Islam, God is called Allah but has no specific name. He is only described by other labels such as the Merciful, etc. So for Muslims or anyone coming from similar background, understanding Trinity or Godhead from their own concept of God is not easy.
Funny how contradicting your reply is.

Wake up from that false belief born out of lack of understanding.

Jesus was never, neither is God. Jesus was only given God authority, it doesn't make him God himself in a literal word.

John 3:16
Explain what you understand by "For GOD so love the world, that HE gave his only begotten SON...

Mark 16:19
Explain what you understand by:... He ascended into heaven and seated by the right hand side of God

Mark 15:34
Explain what you understand by: ....My God, my God why have you forsaken me.

Can explain what does verses mean to me?

Claiming Jesus is God is one of the greatest falsehood in Christianity.

To further clear you up, that Jesus Christ was never God himself.. Kindly read this last verse carefully and tell me what you understand about it.

Matthew 24:36

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, NOR THE SON, but only the FATHER.

This is a verse clearly showing Jesus is not God himself and each of the verses up were direct words from Jesus mouth.

Stop the false teachings, Jesus was given God authority and never was he God... He never claimed to be even when he was on earth.

Please before you answer, read carefully and take note of all my bolded texts.


Lastly John 10:30 was an expression which most of Christians fail woefully to understand.

If I say "me and father are 1" I'm not in saying that in a literal form, rather an expression to let people know... I share alot of things in common with my father. We are close paddies, we do everything together, he doesn't hide anything from me, I can stand in his place and give/represent whatever authority represents.

This was the expression Jesus used.

LOL, I'm automatically a Muslim now cuz I'm trying to clear the lack of understanding billion of Christians are suffering.

You don't need to deny who you are.


I'm glad with the narrative you responded... If my father sent me an errand by his name, does that make me my father himself? I only carry his authority, that doesn't physically make me my father himself.


Thank God you said you go with the authority of your father, just the same way Christ works with the authority of the father. If your father is royalty you automatically become royalty, when Buhari's daughter went to a northern state they received her as they would receive her father not because of her status but her father's. If Jehovah the Father sent Christ the Son He is automatically a God and He is sitting in the right hand of the Father.


If Jesus himself on thousands occasions rebuked being call God and at thousands occasions clearly stated he was sent by God... Then where did Christians by the idealogy of Jesus being God from?


That is why I said you should stick to the Quran you know. Jesus on many occasions referred to Jehovah as father, and He is given the Name above any other name, and he is coming again to judge the world.
You clearly didn't answer my question...Let me put in a simpler and straightforward way

Did Jesus made/declared himself God or son of God?

Give me a straight answer.

My question to you as well is, when your father send you a message or an errand does he send you in his name or your own name and how can you be a son of your father without being his offspring or his lineage. Go back and read your Quran very well all the offspring of Muhammed were reverenced by you Muslims not because they are Muhammed but because they are affiliated to Muhammed. Even here in Nigeria all emirs are affiliated to one person Usman Dan fodio.

There's this Prophet in Jos who told me about my mom's ailment she' had been managing for 5 years then. I was shocked because not even one of my friends knew about it. He ask that I bring her to Jos, I did and her healing started that week.

Same prophet told me about the girl I discussed the possibility of marriage the night before. He told me the next day on a Sunday service that if I marry that girl I was discussing marriage with the previous night, it'll be my biggest mistake in life. Funny enough she sat 2 seats away from me but didn't hear a word of what the prophet said, everyone one else heard it clearly.

The prophet's name is Ritabbi. The church is called Christ As Of Old Ministry.

Christianity Etc › Re: Explain These Bible Verses by Offpoint1:
The Bible is literature, it was written in EXPRESSION and not literal words/meaning.

Translators also compound to the confusion.

The TRINITY remains one of the greatest confusion Christians all over the world are going through.

How can God sent himself to die for mankind and still told himself if they cup is himself will let it pass by? He still asked himself, why has himself forsaken himself?



To understand the Bible is literature, you need to read revelations to the end.

If doesn't literally mean that the father died
Vs 20 said "for the father loveth the son and showeth him all that himself does

This is seen in the way God loved the Israelites and spoke with them through prophets like Moses and Isaiah, providing for them

Jesus himself said that he is a good shepherd and did practically what he learnt from his father
Then why does billions of Christians believe Jesus was/is God? Even after clearly reading a thousand times in Jesus words he was not equal to God.

Is something wrong with the cognitive abilities?

How can Jesus be God when he clearly stated he was sent by God?
