Is it the spelling of the name that is important or the PERSON behind the name?

Abeg shift

Lemme digress
Why it that Bible mentions God as creating the Heavens and Earth 'in the beginning' but we read that the Heavens appeared on the second day and the earth and seas on the third day?
We're they created in the beginning or much later?
If you understand this question, you'll gain proper understanding about what you asked earlier about light shining in the first day and sun and moon and stars appearing on the fourth day
Note that every light has a source

As for Joshua, Joshua died and remains in the grave as he was buried after they gained the Promised Land. Are you asking if God transfered authority from a Dead man to his son, Jesus Christ?

I don't know why you are so confused.

Maybe you should not muddle up everything together.

I'm not mentioning the 1st Joshua here, rather the 2nd Joshua which was renamed Jesus,

When the second Joshua was renamed Jesus, how did they know that the God of Israel approve that his son's name be changed from Joshua to Jesus? Mind you in the same bible, the 1st Joshua's name was not changed to Jesus, he lived and died as Joshua.

I will come back to the second part of your post later. I don't want you confused.

We all know who we refer to
Joshua is actually a more correct English rendition of Yeshua but it makes no difference since we know who we are referring to, the Son of God.

Did the god of Israel ask you to change his son's name? How do you know that the power and authority has been transferred from Joshua to Jesus?

Ask the same questions regarding the other names I listed na.

This is how the name is spelt
Go and ask these individual language groups why they don't spell it the way you say

So you don't know why for two people bearing the same name, one was changed to Jesus and the other left as Joshua in the same book? I don't really care about the other names. They are not names above all other names - Jesus is where my interest lies.

Why not admit that you don't know instead of throwing up meaningless links and innuendos?

I have checked my Bible and it HAS been REMOVED


LOL
THE sun and moon were created 'in the beginning' as part of the heavens
It only became visible on the '4th day'.

That verse on the fourth day did not used the Hebrew word, CREATE but MADE unlike the rest

Go and rest cos you are unlearnable but claim wise
Just as the Bible says the earth was created 'in the beginning' but everywhere was water. Only much later did the Dry Land appear.

Go and rest


Can you show me the bolded from Genesis or any other account. Or I should just believe you? And what is the difference btw 'made and create'? Can you tell me which bible variant you're using?

What is with you and 'go and rest'? Is it because the Hebrew deity aka God of Israel rested in 7th day?

Now, both of you should enter the ring and be arguing with each other

What was the original name of your Jesus before letter J was invented in 1524, and why was it changed to Jesus. I'm particular about Jesus because of the claim that his name is above all other names. If a name is above all other name, should you just randomly change that name without reason?

Many things were added to the Bible by some spurious writers. These includes verses, chapters and books as a whole but today, many translations have studied it and removed them. Go n rest

Have you checked your bible to confirm this portion has been removed? John 8: 1-11, go an verify.

Do you want more inaccuracies in the bible?

Let me ask one question:

According to the Bible, the Sun and Moon were created on the 4th Day. Earth of course was created in the beginning.

Now base on your understanding of science, which came first - Sun (our star) or Earth (our Planet)?

Two people can bear same name

Looks like you're struggling with comprehension. May I suggest you drop your emotion somewhere so that the spirit of reasoning will flourish.

Let me rephrase:

There are two notable Joshua in the original account.

1. Joshua (Yeshua) who took over from Moses
2. Joshua (Yeshua) the messiah, son of Mary and Joseph

In 1524 or so, the letter J was invented. Bible editors decided to change the second Joshua (Yeshua) to Jesus, and left the first one. The question I ask is why?

Mention one significant event in the Bible that is fiction.

Is Jesus owning you money that you're blowing hot?

The meeting of Jesus and the adulterous woman where Jesus was quoted to have:

- Draw on the sand
- Ask the person who hasn't sinned to cast the first stone
- Told the woman I didn't condemn you
- Famously said "Go and sin no more"

Is very significant for Christianity. But this event is fiction. It was totally made up. It did not exist in the original manuscript for the book of John.

If you want more Bible fiction, ask nicely.

Yours is even worse
What has a change in spelling or pronunciation of names (due to language) got to do with Jesus Christ existence?
I am Emmanuel, I can't go to Spain or France and expect that it is spelt or pronounced that way.
Mention one name in the bible that it's spelling and pronunciation is same everywhere
The images you see of Jesus Christ does not accurately depict what he look like
There is no image or picture of anyone that lived 2000 years ago, so Jesus is not the first
If Jesus were painted black, you will still complain

Let's narrow down to the depiction of the name in the English bible which were are familiar with. Is Jesus easier to pronounce compare to Yeshua? The original name of Jesus is Yeshua, same as Joshua. So why did they leave one Joshua in the bible and created a Jesus? An argument put forward was that they were trying to distinguish Joshua the one who led Israel into Canaan from the Joshua the messiah, the question is what were they calling him until 1524? When did they realize there was confusion with the two Joshua? I'm only asking question cos many of you just accept things the way you see them.

You can keep holding on to straw as religion demands, but that does not stop non-religious people from seeking answers to academic question.

Jesus was dark toned man; depict your messiah correctly let the people decide how they feel. What's the need for packaging? Is Christianity ashamed of the color of the messiah as suggested by the Roman authority?

You're not making sense
If, for example, Jesus were alive today and a Bible writer wrote about him and mentioned the names of notable persons that were ruling e.g, Buhari and Sanwoolu and where they ruled and the dates they ruled and some important events that happened during their rulership
Then 2000 years later, people say Jesus did not exists but secular Nigerian historians wrote about Jesus Christ and his activity, there are also coins and stones that were found to show that Buhari and Sanwoolu existed at a particular time period and some important things happened, corroborating what the Bible writers wrote, only a ignorant fool will still go ahead to doubt it.
Nobody claims that Confucius (who lived in earth long before Jesus came) existed, nobody says that prophet Muhammed did not exist yet it is Jesus they WISH and want to believe did not exists yet he is now the most influential figure of all time down to our day and even his words have become the key to most of the rights we enjoy today.
Pilate, Lysanias, Herod Agrippa, Gamaliel, Caiaphas, Caeser, and the First Roman registration (census) @ all historically proven including how criminals were punished yet you want to be blind. I wonder how people reason even in this 21st century and it's a pity they claim to be wise when they are very foolish

It's completely possible to make up fictional characters, and introduce them into the society. Okonkwo and Amalinze did not exists, but Things Fall Apart gave them a larger than live appearance, with their stories situated in real life environment of the Igbo people with the coming of the missionary, A few truth garnished with a lot of lies is what propagandist mostly use. As we speak a bible has been written with Kanye West as the creator, as God. Given time and enough propaganda, as no one will remember the story of the deity God of Israel and his supposed creation of heaven and earth.

But I would not argue against the existence of Yeshua as, clearly, alot of evidence suggests he existed. But the issue here is was Jesus same as Yeshua? That's the question one need to answer especially with all the evidence to show that the bible has been several edited to infuse Roman culture to make the bible more acceptable to the roman empire. Secondly a lot of efforts were made after the fact to promote the idea of Jesus' divinity, whereas the Yeshua that came was just a man like you and I.


When some religious group sponsored and expedition to Mesopotamia to confirm the truth of several bible account, what they found is mindboggling. I believe that's something you need to research yourself.

Lol
Provide evidence to prove your claims from a RELIABLE source
I hope you are also aware that I mentioned Roman and Jewish historians
What about the Roman historians 'deposition (and these ones had a very negative view of Jesus and the disciple)

One may not be able to provide evidence such as you requested, but the argument can be made that the Jesus story is very much garnished, at least the video documentary provide some insight.

It is a fact that the letter J was invented in 1524. I do not believe that Yeshua is more difficult to pronounce than Jesus. So why the need to change the name from Yeshua to Jesus? So technically speaking Jesus did not exist until 1524.

Have you bothered to examine the argument that a variation of Jesus (Esus) existed and that individual could have been merged with Yeshua?

Again, Galileans are darker toned than the image of this white Jesus that are shown to the world as image of Jesus. I asked, is the God of Israel ashamed of the colour of his beloveth son? Why the colour change?

Another argument is that by changing the from Yeshua to Jesus, how did they transfer the 'authority and power' that was bestowed on Yeshua to the new name Jesus? Did Jesus' father approve the name change?

A wise person will look at all these and begin to ask question, and look evidence. The bible is just one account of history, and it is very compromised.

This God matter self is very critical for understand. When someone mentions 'God' it's important to place it in context. Which 'God' - Yahweh, Allah, Amun Ra, Baal? By the way, these 'Gods' here have their origin in Sumeria. They were collectively called Elohim (the powerful ones or assembly of Gods). Until the Hebrews replaced Elohim with Yahweh, and then later God Almighty to transistion from polytheism to monotheism

It's possible he existed in some form or the other. But the issue is that the Bible has been heavily edited and not a completely reliable account. Some things were even added later on.

A typical example is the meeting between Jesus and the adulterous woman. That account was not found in the original script of the Book of John. It was added later.

So when you begin to look the number of things that were added later into the bible, and those that were edited out, you'll begin to wonder if the bible is indeed an accurate account of event.

There's a subsection that follows the one that you're finding a hard time interpreting.

That subsection deals with people that have concluded their punishment. They're are not to contest with 10 years from the date they served their sanction that was imposed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The "under sentencing" means that the person is still serving his jail term. For instance, Hushpuppy is under the sentence of a court. Obasanjo is not under the sentence of a court.

Now, in 1999 the case of Obasanjo v Falae went to the supreme court during the election tribunal. The petitioner at the court of Appeal asked the tribunal to declare that Obasanjo was not qualified to contest because he has not stayed out of Prison for up to 10 years after his conviction. The court held that Obasanjo was eligible to contest because he was pardoned and being pardoned gives the effect of not being convicted.

Being under the sentence of a court means that you were sentenced to court for let's say 10 years and it's only 5 years into your jail term. When you've completed your punishment/sentencing/jail term, the subsection you quoted cannot disqualify you anymore. What can disqualify you is that it's still within 10 years since you completed your sentencing which is the next subsection.

I'm not explaining again abeg.

You keep pondering on Under Sentencing, So you didn't see this OR
or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud (by whatever name called) or for any other offence, imposed on him by any court or tribunal

Can you even comprehend what you read?

No presidential candidate was under sentence at the time of elections.

The subsection specifically reads: “A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if he is under a sentence of death imposed by any competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria or a sentence of imprisonment or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud (by whatever name called) or for any other offence, imposed on him by any court or tribunal or substituted by a competent authority for any other sentence imposed on him by such a court or competent authority.
