chukwudi44: Heb 1:14My brother in Christ, you are getting the whole thing wrong. I am not a 7th day adventist member nor a JW as some of you think. I am only concern to believe what is written in the bible without confussing myself. I do not support anyone or whatever. No one is perfect, we are all learning from each other, anyone here that believe he/she knows the bible too well is only decieving His/herself. For your information, i have stated before in a thread that i worship with a Baptist church. You may not have follow up that thread, but its less important. I personally have been asking myself several question on this two fugures, although i haven't concluded yet, but scriptures made me believe they are similar, This means they can be ONE. Now back to your comment in defining an angel. How will you now access this scriptures i will display below? It may be long but plz pardon me, and try to get to the end of it. Yes Angels serve God, this means they cannot accept others to serve/worship them abi? also You are aware that : ( Michael is discribed as the Captain of the Angels, Rev 12:7. He is one who stands in times of conflict for the children of Israel" Daniel 12:1). We know also that(Jesus was sent only to Israel: Matthew 15:24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." ![]() Now lets go and Look at the OT, in the book of Joshua, we can see that Joshua also saw Michael the Archangel: Joshua 5:13-15,Joshua 6:2,Joshua 6:1 13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. Joshua 6:1-2 1 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. 2 And the LORD said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. What do you "nail down" wit this account? who did Joshua saw? "The captain of the Lord's host" , and we find that it is the Lord! Joshua worshiped him, and He did not stop Joshua in his worship. In fact, th lord actually encouraged Joshua to worship Him! isn't this very significant ? ![]() In Reve, when John tried to worship an angel, the angel tld him not to do that: "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Rev 19:10) We are only to worship God! Are we just reading that Joshua saw the Lord? Joshua is told tht this ground is holy and to take off his shoes. He is in the presence of the Lord. We als see, that this Divine Being accepted the worship and the reverence that Joshua gave him. He actually invited Joshua to worship and reverence him! You and i know that Angels will nt accept worship at all. When John tried to give honor to an angel, the angel stoped him. We also see that Jesus accepted worship whe He was on earth! He accepted the worship of the people around Him (Matthew 14:33; 28:9,17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38; Hebrews 1:6). This Divine being is of no doubt is Jesus because Jesus himself said tht no one has ever seen God and that He is the one who has comunicated with man. John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Joshua had talked to this Divine Being face to face. And what is the down look on Michael all about? God's plans and ways of doing things is not same as ours. Do we have to say the bible isn't plain enough with this account? Who is the Captain of the Lord's host that Joshua worshiped here? Left for you to tell me. Peace. |
Joagbaje: You know when a poster start acting foolish , I stop responding . You font have to calle names to discuss truth. Why do you exalt your personal opinion above others. You may be right or wrong . You should give room for such . A discussion forum is not warfare. The bible my stand and if you have don't meaningful thing to say. Get to the scriptures which is out authority . When you guys get in the flesh like this , I simply walk away .Bros plz come back oo, the spirit is in display not flesh at all ![]() |
Pastor Kun: Bros so what happens if the church leadership is rotten and corrupt as in the case of cec? Should brethen just leave them to continue polluting the body of christ?That was a good question! |
[quote author=Atheist:-D]@op I am going to level with you... because i like you .The mother was clearly highly stressed due to the fasting and experienced a light psychotic episode. She needs to be put on anti-psychotics asap and should also see a shrink. That is my advice. She is clearly nuts and needs medical attention [/quote] ![]() |
Zenas212: I get vry upset wen sme pple refer to d first day(sunday) as d sabbath. The days of d week has neva changed since creation; what man did was just giving them names. The word "sabath" is exclusive to the 7th day(saturday) of the week. Those of you referin to sunday as the sabbath will surely face the wrath of God when He comes. Dnt let the roman catholics deceive you. They have attempted to change the laws and times which was stated in the book of revelation but they are going to fail because God reigns supreme. Open your eyes, fellaz!Let those who have eyes, let those who read understands, you have spoken the truth. |
General Garicks: Nawa 4 you. Once you arent married its fornication. So you wan do homework dis church morningThis is funny ! ![]() |
victord1st: the problem with this thread is that most peeps including the OP are never christain so its pointless making arguements.and 4 d christians in d houz pls read Exo.19 v10-18 only then will u conclude whether to abstain b4 service or nor.i leave u to judge.You are blessed! I just showed the OP now. |
ipromise: The Bible said "remember the sabbath and to keep ïŧ holy.", but my stand on it is different as long as you took your bath. However, my friend's opinion differs from mine. So house, I would like some enlightenment on this. Your opinions?And when the bible talks about Sabbath do you think its talking about SUNDAY? The Sabbath day the bible talks about is the seventh day of the week which is Saturday. No where in the bible was this changed. If you wish to obey this commandment properly, it should be Saturday not sunday. You can take a look at what God told Moses when He was to aprear to them. I believe that The presence of God should be Holy. There are 7 days in the week, if you can sacrefies one day for God, that will not cause ur marriage to break. That is how i se it. My opinion of course. Exodus 19:9-16) 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. 10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. 12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying , Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death : 13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned , or shot through ; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live : when the trumpet soundeth long , they shall come up to the mount. 14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. 16 Come not at your wives, meaning do not have s/x with them. Be holy when in the presence of God. |
@omonuan: Do you know that in those days in the Western, France to be precise, they usually burn witches to ashes? They don't pitty them.This is in History, My hubby is French He told me there were alot of them before, but they killed them by burning them, this made it reduced. In Africa, Nigeria to be precise, law is never stable or even effective. Witches in Nigerian where even using thier power to do make money. Juju men with this spirit usually make money with thier power. Our Politicians Run to them for help. My mum told me how one Deeper life children bible teacher spread this bad spirit to many children. She is a church leader, No one accused her, when her evil cup don full, she started confessing. God have a way of exposing these people. This woman children did not hunt her to talk or whatever. She came to realsed that her cup has no more space to take in blood. You may not believe they exist it doesn't change a fact. |
pastormustwacc: ^^Now, that is really interesting. I am trying my best to be as objective as possible on this thread. I am not taking any side (yet).You should not be afraid to accept what the bible say, its not a matter of surporting a side. I am not here to surport anyone but to accept the bible on what it says. pastormustwacc: One thing i can conclude so far is that, Angel Michael & Jesus seem to play similar roles. 2 captains?Very similar roles indeed, Doest the bible teaches two captains? I don't think so because, Satan lost His place because He wanted to be Equal. |
plappville: This is a good thread. I have been questioning myself on this two figures, hopefully this thread is to make some clearifications. I believe only the scripture can give us the answer. The bible needs to be exploit on this issue before running into conclusion. @ijewkid gave us (Daniel) to take a look at. I hope to do that because i would't want to agree to an unbiblical truth. I prefare to Let Scripture explain Scripture. All thesame, i must say Good work so far to all those that have contributed already. And @OP, wonderful thread.Bros Frosbel where are you? Please your attention is needed, how can you prove these scriptures wrong?: (1)"Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending TO WHERE HE WAS BEFORE?" John 6:62 (2)"for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father." John 16:27-28 (3)"Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me SHALL NEVER DIE. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.’" John 11:25-27 Jesus also claims that Abraham saw him, and that he existed even before Abraham was created. Now as far as Christ existing befor Adam is concerned note carefully what Christ says elsewher: (4)"And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed." John 17:5 Compare this with John’s prologue below: (5)"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made… He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1-3, 10, 14 Not only did the Lord Jesus exist before the world itself, he was also the figure whom God used to actualy create every created thing, which makes him an eternal Being and he therefore existed before the angels. In fact, he created the angels according to John! We should hold on to what the Bible say not your own words, Scriptures with swriptures will give you an accurate answer. As for the archangel Michael and Jesus which is the main aim of this thread, it will be good to also hold on to the scriptures and not our own words. |
trolling: All angels are subject to Yahshua and Michael is not the same as YahshuaAllow the bible to tell us who Jesus is, not your own words.... |
This is a good thread. I have been questioning myself on this two figures, hopefully this thread is to make some clearifications. I believe only the scripture can give us the answer.

Now Let me call on bros....Frosbel to tell us where the scripture denies Jesus pre-existance first before further comment. |
obadiah777: THE WOMAN IS A COMPOUND NAME THAT ENCOMPASSES A TRIBE OF PEOPLE. ITS A GENERAL TERM USED FOR A GROUP. HOWEVER THE MAN-CHILD IS JUST ONE SPECIFIC SINGLE PERSON. NICE TRY THOUGHYou are right, We can picture two "women" presented in the book of Revelation. And this article made mention of the two. One is the "great city" of the Gentiles [Revelation 17, 18] The other one is Israel whose "great city" is Jerusalem |
obadiah777: ONLY THE 144,000 OUT OF THE TRIBE OF ISRAEL HAVE SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION. THE REST ARE GETTING JACKED UP DAILY BY ALL KINDS OF TRIBULATION AND AFFLICTION AS WE SPEAKAre they different from the Woman that fled......? As the bible told us thata portion of Israel will be protected from Satan for 1260 days. Zechariah 13:8 informs us that 2/3 of Israel will be destroyed during this time but 1/3 will make it through, to the millenium. The survivors of Israel will re-populate the earth, where Jesus will rule over the earth with His saints. We see that this woman will be protected By Yahweh. Zechariah 13:8-9 And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall be left in it: I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’” |
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. This prophecy will be fulfilled when Israel emerges from their supernatural protection to behold Jesus the rejected Messiah. |
obadiah777: BRAH I JUST GAVE YOU PRECEPTS TELLING YOU THAT THE WOMAN IS ISRAEL AND THE MAN-CHILD IS CHRIST.The reason why i do not fancy the Church to be the woman is because, Christ gave birth to the Church, and the vision says the woman gave birth to a male child. I cannot see how the church can bring forth the male child.But if the woman is Mary or Isreal, this can match because they are the only two that can birth Christ. And if the Woman is the Church then the male child could be the overcomers. However, scripture gave us picture the conflict of the ages, between the descendents of Eve and Satan. We picture that John recorded the conclusion of events, which began in the Garden of Eden. Since Satan has been confined to earth, and becaus he knows his time is very short(3 ½ years), all he does is confronts Israel in a last ditch effort to stop his confinement. He assumes control the Antichris’s kingdom at the mid-point of the Tribulatio. When He (Satan)was expelled frm heaven, he incarnates the Antichrist who seemed to ve à final wound (Revelation 13:3). The resurected Antichrist enters the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and déclares himslf God démanding Israel and the entire world to worshi him(2 Thes. 2:4). Israel refuses to worship the Antichrist, who is now Satan incarnate. The Antichris is infuriated, against Israel and believers since he knows his tim is short and he must act quickly. Satan indwelling the Antichrist pursue Israel and attempts to exterminate the it, hopin to prevent the return of Christ, who ve promised to return when Israel acknowledged Him as their Messiah (Matthew 23:39). At this point God intervenes on Israel’s behalf, Jesus have warned Israel about this coming day of trial long ago. Jesus refering to the book of Daniel warned Israel, when they saw the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel to fléé to the mountains (Matthew 24;15-21). God literally opens the Mount of Olives, creating a valley, and providing a path of escape, for a remnant seed of Israel. There in the wilderness of Judah east of Jeruselem, God will supernaturally preserve and feed a select group of survivors for 1260-days or three and half years. Surviving Israel will come to terms with their Messiah and finally understand, Jesus Christ is their only way to salvation. She was given "Two wings" to fly, Israel was faced with a similar execution, in Egypt Then God intervened wit Moses, and Israel was led out of Egypt with God’s protection. This time Israel will again be supernaturally protected against Satan’s plan for their destruction. Exodus 19:4-6 4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself. 5 'Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 'And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel." |
obadiah777: the israel in that chapter is time specific. it is refering to the period of the abomination of desolation around 70 AD. at that point in time the only israelites were the lineage israel so it is refering ONLY to the descendants of Jacob.Romans 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, |
helpee: @frosbel. U are one hell of a disillussioned guy. I studied your different posts from trinity to pastors to tithes and I discovered that you were probably once a xtian and now confused and instead of u to admit it, u come to nairaland to justify your lost glory with God. While the isrealis may not be completely saints they are at least more civil that hamas whose purpose is to wipe out the state of isreal. Forget the person with superior power. The palestinians are hiding under the status of underdogs to fire missiles and u kept ur dirty mouth shut. Now the isrealis killed a military man, that heads the military unit of an organisation that fired 700 rockets in2 isreal and are here saying the hamas could be our brothers and sisters...the same way BOKO haram is also our brothers. So, the isrealis would have been nice to keep quiet while their enemies acquire enough missiles to send them to extintion the way hitler tried to do while bigots like you keep telling us palestinians are the saints. U said the article demonise palestinians but ur own response almost painted the terrorist as saints and the zionist as demons so u are no better as an hypocrites. I stopped responding to ur confused post a long time ago but ur confusion keeps eating deep in2 ur miserable xtian life. U can't even name ur church that associate with yet u criticise every church and every other religion. Don't tell me that God is not interested in ur congregation otherwise he wouldn't have sent messages to different churches in revelation and he called them by their names and descibed their xteristics and told them their faults. I don't support violence but their will always be violence as long as a group of people don't believe that isreal should exist and if u are supporting such people then u are anti God and at best a non xtianI agree with you on the bold. |
Joagbaje: Stop insulting the church of christ. Pastors are the one perfecting the saints. It's carnal men that sees ministry as money making venture. Pastoring is sacrifice. You're not seeing the fasting and prayer and intercession of a pastor for his congregation. All you see is money. Yet you sell this wrong signal of the church to the world as a christian brother. It's a sin. Just because of the wrong foundation in your understanding of opening scripture . It's shameful seeing Christians instead of preaching to sinner spend their time and resources to attack christ body.Bros i greet ooo, i dont see this as attack shall ooo, The OP, speaks in pains, reading him, you will know He is not doing this to tarnish Christ. Should we now pretend and swallow the evil manipulations we see in the church today? How many of Today's Pastors truelly possess the quality of revelation 12:11? A true christian should be able to prove that his/her life worth nothing when it comes to defending Christ word? We see MOG today, when they go out, they take along some minders. This is because the confident of Gods spiritual protection is no longer felt. A true brethren of Jesus ought not to fall in love with excess of material/wealth of this world, King David told us All these are vanity and vexation of the heart.(Ecclesiates 2) If Christian believed what Christ told about the rich man and the Kingdom of God, then they will know that accumulating the offers of this world cannot work together with the kingdom of God. (Matthew 19:23-24, Mark 10:24-25,Luke 18:24-25). Jesus knows riches tend to make one self sufficient and pridefully not needing God for much of anything. We can see the prove already in many MOG today. Poor Pastors for example do not go out with fear of kidnappers. But the rich ones do. I believe the more rich you are the less likely you are to be Christ-like. As the much love of it can diminish your connection with God. Just my opinion anyway! |
seriallink: Wrong Bros!Nice one, i noted same verse to him/her. |
teeo: For ur mind ba. Sinners are out there to be evangelized too. And you keep looking for ways to discredit the work of God. No man should be the Judge of the body of Christ.He did not judge, Didn't those scriptures He presented made sense and correspond to his article? 1 Corinthians 5:13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you." What does the Among you mean to you? |
Nice article, I can see much quality truth in your write up. Its so true that the church today has adopted a different system from that of that Apostles. The church is polluted, but many cannot see it. But the scriptures gives a clear view of this pollution. More of this are need, keep it coming please. |
hercules07: Take a bow, you have spoken well.Really? i do not agree with everything that He said up there! |
pastormustwacc: Your friend needs to forgive her mother, without forgiveness, she will be in trouble spiritually. She must close every door in her life to spiritual/satanic attacks and must not allow unforgiveness to cause problems for her. Unforgiveness is unchristianly, and yes, i realize how bad she must feel.YoU ArE rIgHt!!ShE MuSt 4give, in order to prove she is Christ-like. I must say that, you sound very courageous. keep it up. |
Image123: do you even realize that you're insulting me?Oh did i? I thought i was only refering you to your error, if that sounds insultive then pardon moi ![]() You come to christian forum to make remark of mistakes as if you have been a perfect English writer here. Did the Holy Spirit even told you He qualifies people by thier educational proficiency? I don't think so. ![]() An illiterate will make heaven, if His heart seeks only the true word of God, and you are here amusing yourself with A borrowed language that is not even your dialect. I do not care pointing out people errors, i can correct someone if i find errors but i won't amuse myself in trying to prove i know better than others. Anyway, i no truelly mean insult by calling you by that Name, i just wanted you to know that when pointing one finger to others, the four others will be pointing at you. Peace. |
Ihedinobi: @i.chuka, I agree with you in pretty much everything. God has always been an exceptional teacher. He uses signs and symbols we can understand and relate to teach us heavenly (that is, hidden) realities. Eve was indeed a type of the Church as was ethnic Israel. In each of them, God unveiled to a limited degree what His Church is. This is very like all the sin offerings that were made which all pointed to Christ as their antitype.Dont forget that the woman and the male child are not the only signs in Rev 12, each must match the vision, some interpretation on the twelve stars, moon etc....are needed to be identify, who are the other figures? Anyway, thanks for your wonderful contribution. |
chukwudi44: So na which one we go accept naa.Eve,isreal,church!!! Differant revelation from the same 'spirit'They are all from one root.... ![]() |
The Church came out of Christ,just as Eve is made from the rib of Adam.and the overcomers came out of the Church. they(the overcomers) are still part of the Church,we can still call them the Church. because there victory brings glory to the whole Church.Yes these scriptures perfectly made it clearer.(1 Corinthians 15:45) (Romans 5:14) So what about the other signs, how will you identify them? Thanks alot God bless. |
pastormustwacc: ^^^Of course, i have been hovering over this board for awhile now not posting anything but observing carefully, i use different connections for better efficiency.Hahaha.....so u been dey do side watching? Actually i was when you unsubscribed because you were making useful contibutions.Am happy you re bk. My firend is not finding it easy to show her mum love. She is very cool with her ever since this incident. I believe it's wrong for her as a Christian to keep distance from her mum despite the situation, what do you think? |
alexleo: [b][/b]They will fight you with thier last strenght that all that you stated here are false. Anyway, i see you point. I'm not surprise, anyone who truelly seek God with a sincere loving heart will not welcome most of Catholic doctrines. That is a bitter truth! |
Ubenedictus: what am i persisting on? U claimed that d catholic church has Jesus with long hair and u said that isnt d real Jesus. D burden of proof rests on you to show me how d real Jesus looked liked.I cant tell you how He look like because the NT Gospels contain no reference to His physical appearance, much less a description of him. We don’t know what he looked like. So why should we stress on what is not scriptural? Old Testament descriptions of King David, for example, allude to his physical attractiveness (1 Samuel 16:12; 17:42). What Rev and Isaiah told about Christ it is not what we see in the paint/art work of today's church. Isaiah 53:2 For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. Revelation 1:15 His feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. |
