This is a blatant show of Arianism ! Jesus was talking of his dual nature - being human and divinity . So that explains why Jesus said the father is greater than he is

I am not denying the divinity of Christ. I am only saying what the Bible teaches, which is the fact that even in divinity, there is what you may reffer to as heiarachy or ranks. And if you still want to insist that the Son is equal to the Father, how then would you explain the following scripture:

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

KingEbukasBlog:
You mean stating clearly what is written in the bible for all to see is wrong

Okay, if I get you correctly, you meant to say that YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL does NOT have confidence in the Bible. Is that right?

KingEbukasBlog:
Good question bro . I wanted to include that too but somehow I let it pass .

Jesus is a member of the Godhead and so he came down to earth in human form , conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit - another member of the Godhead .

So Mark 16 : 19


means that Jesus returned to His glory as God - equal position, honor, power and authority with God(Yahweh) because they are one . He has fulfilled his mission on earth and has returned to take his position of divinity

So "right hand of God" just means equal rank , position , glory , honour , majesty . And the fact that Christ is "sitting" refers to the fact that His work of redemption is done and when the fullness of the gentiles is brought in, Christ's enemies will be made His footstool as the end of the age comes, all prophecy is completed, and time is no more.

You see this is what I'm talking about. No matter how hard we try we CANNOT both scripturally and reasonably prove the Godhead is made up of eqaul and separate entities at the same time.

You know what makes sense to ME? It's the ASSUMPTION that God is NOT eqaul to single personality identifier. The word GOD (to me) is an attribute that describes the NATURE of an entity and IS NOT the actual name of that entity.

For example, the word "man" descrbes the maleness of both a father and his son. In other words, a fully grown son is "equally" a man just as his father is. But their equality in manhood does not make a son EQUAL to his father in the family ranks.

Bringing it back to the topic, I think the Lord Jesus Christ is "equally" God in nature just as YAWH is. But still My Lord Jesus Himself is NOT equal to the Soverign Father. In fact speaking in the Gospel of John, the Lord Jesus himself said this: (Joh 14:28) "Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I"

KingEbukasBlog:
Thank You brother for your good contribution . But you realise that God communicates and reveals Himself to man in ways he would understand . Plus sitting is for a physical being - comfort , rest , relief etc and God is a spirit being and he's abode is in the immaterial realm

Seriously, I think it's noble for humans to seek to know God. Yet I'm sure it's futile for us to want to have a perfect understanding of Him. Why? Because it's perfectly normal for humans not to have a perfect understanding of God. And even at the perfection of human nature we will still NEED an eternal dose of FAITH to relate with the Soverign God. So let's stop this generalization and human-driven interpretaions of the nature and attributes of God. That's why Paul warns about the danger of going beyond what is written. Let's allow the Holy Spirit do His job at INDIVIDUAL LEVEL not all these canned inertpretations trying to impose mass acceptance. God the Father is the One who is the SOURCE and SUSTAINER of ALL shades of eternity and dynamism. So, since He lives outside eternity and dynamisn how do we ever hope to interprete Him accurately with our finite and calculable intelligence?

Hey,

Have you taken your own pilgrimage to Umudike yet?

No one had ever faught the zion's stone of offence and survived it. Neither will any of you here.

This is how it should be. Feed the poor!

...But There's one pastor in Ota. He drives a private jet...

Bros which kind jet dem de DRIVE na? No be fly dem de fly am ni? Or could it be that you are talking stuff that's way too high for you?

Obiagelli:
Lets not fool ourselves, every religion is a form domination. What did the whites use to dominate africans?
Why do think the romans quickly adopted christianity after killing jesus? It was a tool for continued dominance.
Why do you think china adopted Buddhism

Are you this unreasonable for real? Is it too hard to know what separation of power is?

Please shut up if you don't know how to think.

Islam is FIRST a system of GOVERNMENT but with ZERO separation of powers.

- Political framework (caliphates etc)
- Legal framework (sharia)
- Religious framework ( islamic rites)
- Social framework (islamic education)
- Economic framework (islamic banking)
- Militarial framework (jihad)

These are the interwoven core components of islam. Anyone who thinks or mistakes this governmental movement for a mere religion is both grossly ignorant and notoriously stupid. This is why Trump gets massive followership in US inspite of his massive divisive comments. Please ventilate your brains.

How come you suddenly ran out of steam? Thought you always had something to say? FAKE.

DropShot:
Why not relocate to Benin Republic, Togo or Bukina Faso. I don't think you will need a visa to any of those countries and many others too.

This comment just shows how EMPTY you are. If your god and his corhorts are working you would have had enough material to refute his argument. But now you have none. Yet your empty skull won't quit defending your god's truckload of absurdities.

LeFreakSoChic:
Are they not? If they were harmless as you claim, why burn Dangote's trucks? Why burn stalls belonging to the Hausas?
Playing the victim as usual. If you Nairaland thugs are born of noble births, go and misbehave instead of writing trash all over the place. Idiots.

So in your words the army was retaliating by killing unarmed folks? A truck and a shop is now worth human lives, right? Silly shegoat. For all the genocide, rapes and destruction of entire LGAs that's currently ongoing in Benue state and elsewhere, how many of the criminals have the army killed or even arrested? Now you open your stinking mouth to spew poo here. Why is the IPOB massacre investigation starting now, and not when the killings occured, if you are not a shameless fool? Confused woman. Please watch it before it turns into a fullscale insanity.

Naija9090:
Watch as children of hate and envy will still come here despite the video, despite the Army's acknowledgment of the killings and ongoing investigation... the children of hate, envy and wickedness will still accuse IPOB protesters of being responsible for their own killings. SMH

Comment WITHDRAWN. SO SORRY BRO, I was so pissed by those graphic pics. Just had time to reread your comment now. Sorry for the fury. Hope you will forgive me sha.

kenny987:
See these useless things called Police o! So all they can do is have the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Paul Yakadi lead a team to the crisis zone to ascertain the cause of the renewed clash in order to compel the feuding parties to cease hostilities. They call rampaging criminals feuding parties so where is d feud when the victims are systematically being wiped out just for being Christian farmers and owners of farmlands?

What about going in combat mode to arrest and prosecute the idiots called herdsmen who have overrun the place? What about even killing some of those rapists if they attempt to resist or return fire? How about immediately evacuating those opportunistic vagabonds so that those who have fled can be settled back in their homes? How about justice for the dead?

What nonsense is going on in this country? Why are we yoked together with these blood sucking demons? Lugard and ur babe Flora, it shall not be well with u and ur home country.

You forgot to say how come no one is asking why the monsters are carrying guns? The fact that they occupy these comunities - weapons in hand - after killing and dispersing the natives, is a sure indicator, to me, that the so called fulani herdsmen are nothing but Government-backed terrorist organization.

If truly we are in Democracy (where the citezens rule) the government would have sent an army against any gun carrying group, IRRESPECTIVE of the provocation. How can a true government call this a feud where the STRANGERS are armed with sophisticated weapons against vulnerable vilagers who have mostly never seen an AK47 all their lives? It's no feud my dear, it's a state spornsored terrorism/jihad against the religous minority.

olaboy33:
Lie lie Fayose and his pampers wearing hypocrites

Shut your trap, silly sycophant. No where did Mr. Fayose ever say that the man was dead. It was the Ekiti State Comminsioner for Information that gave a press brief. And he only said that the information REACHING him (which was speculative) was that the man was dead, and because no one was SURE he then charged the DSS to present the man to the public either dead or ALIVE. What's wrong with what he said if not that you silly rats are crazy?

None of you e-diots noticed the shameful contracdiction in that report (where the DSS official said mr afolabi was well and hearty whereas the reporter said clearly the man looked critically sick and could hardly carry himself). Yet you all are here running your mouths like watery poo in support of the very silly gangsters you called government which in reality is showing to be the WORST thing that has ever happened to Nigeria since her independence.

dragunov:
And at this chronic stage of mine I am still better than you. In all ways.

Your fantasy. Well, at times wishful thinking do work, that's if you're man enough to work so darn hard for it. IBM was once a benefactor to what we now call Microsoft. So run along with yoyr fantasy. It's allowed

dragunov:
There wasn't any time I ever alluded to the imaginations of the numerous Buhari haters on this social platform that the budget was fraudulent. I don't know why your hatred for this man has assumed a rabid proportion. You are just ready to believe anything so far its targeted at Buhari; to say anything in order to discredit the strongman. I still maintain my stance. Those rogues at the NASS are deliberately truncating the budget as a way to get back at Baba and to arm twist him to bow to their corrupt wimps and caprices. Its only BOZOS like you, with no capacity to be rational that will refute my submission.

Yours is a lost case - a chronic stage of dementia.

dragunov:
. We all know ( unless you're trying to be unrealistic) that these goons at the NASS are trying to truncate the budget and frustrate PMB because of their inability to share money in Ghana- must-go bags like it used to be during the time of the Supreme Dunce. No access to public fund no budget. Simple.

This guy, are you drunk or what? What are you saying? Are you suggesting that the budget is no longer fraudlent or what? Gosh. Your god is lobbying for the passage of the budget simply because he's GROSSLY corrupt. In case you are too dumb to notice, what he's actually trying to do is to BLUNTLY LEGALIZE CORRUPTION FOR THE YEAR. And once that's done, it becomes the TEMPLATE for the rest of his tenure. Are you so darn blindfolded that you cannot see this?

dragunov:
Dude save your hate speech and stop bleeding black all over the thread. All these issues highlighted by you have always been with us in Nigeria. In fact they all occurred during the maladministration, misadventure and uncharismatic pseudo- leadership of your hero GEJ. Just stop monkeying around, pretending to be intelligent. Save some MB or go download mojo! Maybe that will adjust something in your cranium.

You are so pathetic. I'mpretty sure the juju has completely erased every atom of reason in your mind. No need to mention that your conscience is dead and rotten.

olutunde12:
I laugh. But you people are happy with d rubbish always from lie muhammed's mouth but want fayose removed for taking buhari to the cleaners always. If buhari couldnt remove him with apc law makers, he is not likely to do it with this ones he is d one making a fool of himself not these people.

Don't mind the shallow e.diots. They have no clue what a negative western perception of the pmb admin. can do. They have zero comprehension of the global political clime. By the time pmb is officially classified a dictator by US and UK they'd realize that the lawmakers know precisely what they are doing.

BiafraBushBoy:
So what are you trying to say?

That it is a good thing that PDP is playing a fast one on us??

They want to use and dump us as usual??

The earlier our youths know that we won't vote for anybody in 2019, both PDP and APC, except any party with Igbo candidate, the better!!

Igbos hate Buhari and Love Sherrif

Hate Osibanjo and Love Fayose

Hate Ngige and Love Wike

Hate APC and Love PDP!!

Who is fooling Who??

Let's wise up my people!!

You are simply not paying attention to the history and proceedings of the ongoing. If you want to understand the fruit (action) go back to check out the roots (the cause) Check all the people you just mentioned carefully, verify their public dispositions towrds the igbos thoroghly, and you'd know WHY igbos are going the way they are going. But I hope you'd even understand such issues.

isbish:
The simple reason why PMB's picture is removed from the candidates posters is beyond the haters comprehension. You guys because of hatred and vile on the President have lost all your sane sense of reasoning. His images on the posters are removed because even bad candidates use the Presidents good aura, personality and popularity to get votes. Buhari is a gem and larger percentage of good Nigerians know that, hence, the reason why bad politicians use his image to sale themselves.

Haven't any of you seen other parties using Buhari's image to even get votes. I have seen in my Village a Labour party Chairmanship aspirant use Buhari's pics in his Poster. What has Buhari got to do with Labour party? I guess sensible people will now see the reason better. They aren't removing PMB's pics because he is unpopular as you guys want to portray it. His pics are removed for the above stated reason.

How can an obviously sane person like you CHOOSE to live in delusion? It beats me, man it beats me.

And by the way, the labour party you talked about, was it during the general elections last year? Or was it in the ongoing reruns? Did that particular LP candidate that featured PMB in his/her poster get to win the election? Please answer the questions.

BiafraBushBoy:
National leader= Aboki

National youth leader= Aboki....

Presidential Candidate= Aboki

Members= Igbos!!

Who is now the real Butt licker??

God please reset the senses of my people!!

You have not seen anything yet. You don't mess with the igbos of today. Take them for granted at your own peril. You may not understand what's playing out until you suddenly realize that power is back to the north for good. It's then that folks will begin to reconsider ever taking the so called 5% for granted.

The thing though is that we seem to have a ton of nationalists in the PDP. If not..., God have mercy on those who think that the igbos are dispensible.

VERY brialliant chap. I'm seriously impressed.

Oh God! Help Nigeria. I sensed a mass hardship that would shock-jolt the slumbering masses into consciousness, but I never imagined that it would be in this kind of far reaching scale that seems to be currently downloading. A typical case of "when the wicked rules..." Only God knows what will happen if Trump wins the US presidential race. May God have mercy on us all.

yeah if you truly believe that then i have a bridge i want to sell to you called third mainland. i own it and want to sell it to you. truth of the matter is women respect money power and authority and the guy has all 3.

Suit yourself dear. It's entirely your shot.

sukkot:
am not sold. if he was a poor man and had no power like he does, she would have bounced lolz

miss me with the feigned humility

That's your imagination. Very wrong. We have a ton of female Phd clinchers each year, but when was the last time you SAW one of them kneeling down to appreciate her husband in PUBLIC? You probably have zero clue what humility means. No one is selling anything to you. What you saw there was an impromptu act that reflects the gold-heart of a true Christan cum african woman.

It is very common to see IPOB sympathisers trying to Blakmail we south south by saying the word "South-South" only exist in Nigeria as a way of dividing eastern region. This is a big lie. The word south south as a way of grouping regions has existed in United nations as far back as 1978. It is united Nation recognised terminology.




https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South%E2%80%93South_cooperation


I have never seen people so pathetic and emotional like IPOB sympathisers. IPOB supporters despite thier pride are willing to eat shit for south south people to Join them so also is the North willing to die than allow south south Join IPOB. The truth is dat neither Biafra nor the North love us. They both want our resources desperately.

Today South South in Nigeria have two states (Edo and Delta) from Old Western Region. I have never seen OPC/Yoruba people crying to high heaven how thier land/ people are being taken from them. Some part of Delta and Edo State speak yoruba. Most Chevron oil production is from "Yoruba" speaking part of Delta state.

If we can accept the word North, West, east etc which are white man creation, why cant we accept south-south which is also a white man creation or terminogy

The source you cited is so pathetic no wonder your argument sounds so silly.

hifaif1:
This is a very balanced patriotic post devoid of sentiment. Countless others are just busy throwing blames and not even bothering to be helpful.

I see a leader in you!!!

It's convenient for you to mouth that. How objective would you have been if your village was the one that got sacked by strangers who raped your sisters, aunts and mothers; massercred your brothers, uncles and fathers; and then occupied your land with impunity? Assuming this was the case would you have utterd that rubbish as you just did? Instead of condeming this attrocity you are here finding excuses for it. Did it ever occure to you that those folks were getting maimed and killed in THEIR OWN LAND by these animalistic aliens whom you mistake for human beigns?

kenny987:
U misunderstand. The Republican nature of the Igbos basically means powers and laws originate from bottom up. There must be a representative whom family heads have endorsed which materialises as the Eze or Obi as the case may be.
The implication is that a leader cannot unilaterally give an order or law to be complied with. The opinions of affected persons must be sought through age grades, family heads and so on before any law is deemed binding on the people.

That is why a really functional republican system will favour the Igbo man more because he is a man in his own right and no one can just give him an order without his agreement. He will respect the consensus representative of his people but not revere him as lord and master because he is trained as an individual to stand for himself and follow the leading of his chi.

The Ezendigbo in diaspora serves as a rallying point for the Igbos within an area. This helps d Igbos replicate their culture wherever they find themselves cos u cannot expect them to lose their identities just because they are outside Igboland. It makes communication and relationships between the Igbo and their hosts easier cos all residents will not go enmasse to address an Oba or Deji or Emir for instance. So the representative is a replica of the leader back home to also command as well as pay respect to the leader or ruler of the host community.

Essentially, he is not interested in usurping another's power but carries d mandate and interests of his people in that area.

I seriously would love to know you better and personally, if you don't mind. Am sure sophia7989 won't get jealous.

Emmahunk:
The hard core critics will definitely find something nasty to say but before you do, let me remind you that the issue of IPOB is enough to get any sane man enraged.
Nothing in this Country is worth wasting millions of lives again be it Nigerians or the so called Biafrans. Blood is blood.
Again, the earlier people stopped deluding themselves that there can be secession in this Country without bloodshed, the better.

So in your own style of judgement it is wrong to break apart by force, but not wrong to impose a union by force, right? It takes more than one party to start a war, so don't sit idly and condem one part while saying nothing about the other part which is equally culpable.
