| Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 5:07pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
There are many instances where Jesus acknowledged God, prayed to Him, and demonstrated His relationship with God. This collection highlights various moments in the New Testament that reflect Jesus' acknowledgment of God and his own helplessness! 1. Jesus Praying Before Healing: John 11:41-42: "So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.'" Why was God praying before healing? If God sent Jesus then isn't he a messenger? Why is he letting people see him pray to God? How many Gods have you seen pray to another God? 2. Jesus Praying in Agony: Matthew 26:39: "And going a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, saying, 'My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.'" Luke 22:42: "Saying, 'Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.'" Ah! Ah! Jesus came to die, he come dey pray make the death pass am! God suppose pray? God dey die? God even dey turn human? What he unaware of his mission to die again? 3. Jesus on the Cross: Matthew 27:46: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'" So Jesus was calling a superior God when suffer enter am! Jesus is even calling on God accusing him of forsaking him! Isn't he God again? 4. Temptation by Satan: Matthew 4:9-10: "And he said to him, 'All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.' Then Jesus said to him, 'Be gone, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve."'" Was Satan trying to coax God to worship him? I mean Satan according to Job 1 appeared before God with the sons of God to whine God to tempt Job! He should have seen Jesus beside God back then! He didn't recognise God wey turn man! And Jesus was even saying only God alone deserves all worship. Satan no get respect o! Satan later took God to the highest 5. Jesus Acknowledging God as His Father: John 20:17: "Jesus said to her, 'Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."'" Again, how can Jesus who is a God have another God? If the father is a God to the son, is the son also a God to the father? In Isaiah 45:5, Yahweh siad "I am the LORD (YHWH), and there is no other; there is no God but Me. In Deuteronomy 4:35, "You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him." Also in Deuteronomy 32:39, "See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand". 6. Jesus Teaching people to call God in heaven: Matthew 6:9: "Pray then like this: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.'" Why is Jesus urging them to pray to the father in heaven when the son is on earth and the son and father are together and one? I still don't understand why Jesus, a God that became man kept praying to God throughout his life time. I would say he was the only God that had another God he prays in times of need! |

Antichristian2:1. Why couldn't Jesus Christ of Israel — Himself a God over His followers — urge His followers to pray to His God using His name? You didn't point out the specific rule from the book that declares His act of contradiction. ![]() 2. What rule from the compendium of books you quote all those verses from states that a God cannot worship— trust and obey — another greater God, particularly one with whom He is one — in agreement — with? ![]() |

Antichristian2:1 & 2. According to the book of books you quote from, YHWH, the one who later declared Himself God only of Israel is also indicated in the book of the Law of Moses as Lord of lords and God of gods, insisting He is the God at the top of the Hierarchy of all the other Gods and Lords— the Superior God. ![]() 17. The Lord is your God. He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the great God. He is an amazing and powerful fighter. To him, everyone is the same. He does not accept money to change his mind. - Deuteronomy 10:17That you have personally never seen a God praying to another God does not change the facts of what is written in the book, right? Also, that you have never seen a God come down in human form does not change the facts of what is recorded in the book either. Abi? ![]() 3. Pretty much or yes! ![]() 4. Jesus Christ of Israel was a human being as well. Satan's programmed job, as we had read many times before that particular encounter with Jesus Christ of Israel, was to tempt all humans. He had to, in following with his programming, tempt even Jesus Christ of Israel, who came before him in human form. So? ![]() 5. You would need to reference any rules in the book restricting one lesser God from bowing down before a greater God since it is not clear where this question of yours is coming from. ![]() 4 “The Lord is the Rock, and his work is perfect! Yes, all his ways are right! God is true and faithful. He is good and honest. - Deuteronomy 32 vs 4In Deuteronomy 32, YHWH — God of Israel— described Himself as the True God. In the same chapter which you quoted from earlier, YHWH also proclaimed the existence of other gods —gods of other nations/peoples—who, as far as the Israelites were concerned, were false gods —they had no connection with the Israelites over whom YHWH had declared that He alone is God of, this as He also declared that He was the God over even all of the other gods out there— none of the others measured up to Him in any manner. ![]() |

Antichristian2:no matter how hard the devil try to use you, you cannot hid the gospel of the Lord Jesus. Jesus is the son of God that makes him God also. But coming to earth he came as a human being. As a human being means he is flesh and blood. That means sometimes the flesh can come come in. The Lord Jesus was a full blooded human being. He has feelings like us. He could feel pains. So you should expect him to feel down sometimes. Who among us that doesn't feel down sometimes. Even you sometimes feel down and want to give up. So the Lord Jesus is not an exception to this. He too was down and want to give up but thanks be to God because he stood and finished the task. That is why we are saved today. You ask why was Jesus urging them to pray to the Father while in was on earth. We pray to the Lord Jesus to. The Father and the Lord Jesus are one, so praying to the Father is praying to the Lord Jesus. I pray to the Lord Jesus sometimes. And both when the Lord Jesus was in heaven and on earth, the Father is superior to Jesus. So the Lord Jesus is always giving the Father first place. So everything goes through the Father. Though they are one but the Father comes first. So the Lord Jesus tell people to pray to the Father is to show that the Father is first. |

delkuf:Can you just pick one question and answer instead of muddling everything up? So you mean God became man. God was now feeling down! God drank wine! God passed through his mother's birth canal! God was protected by his parent! So you pray to God! You pray to Jesus! You would also pray to the Spirit! Jesus said on his own he can do nothing! Can the father too do nothing without Jesus? |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 5:53pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Antichristian2:where did Jesus said on his own he can do nothing. Please bring out that verse plsssssss |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 5:53pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Kobojunkie:In the Lord's prayer he told them to call the father in heaven directly... 2. What rule from the compendium of books you quote all those verses from states that a God cannot worship— trust and obey — another greater God, particularly one with whom He is one — in agreement — with?Then you should stop lying that there are only one God! If Jesus worships another God then that is two Gods not one! |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 5:55pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
delkuf:I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. John 5:30 Next verse says "If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid..." |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 5:57pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Antichristian2:all i have told you is that Jesus as a man experience pains and feelings like every other human being, so those Bible verses you woute is about a man that was about to die for the sins of world so flesh want to weigh him down but he stood. |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 5:58pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Antichristian2:ok so what is your point |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Kobojunkie: 5:58pm On Mar 13, 2025*. Modified: 8:56pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Antichristian2:1. That prayer was made possible through Him— His Kingdom, His Gospel, His Truth —hence, in His name. ![]() 2. What are you on about? The book tells you that YHWH is God of gods, implying that there are so many gods out there. I mention this several times when I insist that there are at least 4000 documented deities that are known of today. ![]() Again, you religious folks should really learn to separate your private delusions from what the book, in fact, states. ![]() |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 6:00pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
delkuf:Jesus has no power of himself. How can he be God or one with God? |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 6:01pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
delkuf:You mean Satan didn't recognise Jesus as God when he came to tempt him? ![]() |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 6:08pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Antichristian2:so because he said he canof himself do nothing that means he doesn't have power. But he heal the sick. Raise the dead. Which power is he using to do all this |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 6:09pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Antichristian2:he recognizes him that is why he came to tempt him |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Petalss(m): 11:17pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
delkuf:God's power, not his own power. Or do you mean to say all the miracle working pastor of our present time are God too since they claim they can heal the sick, raise the dead? |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Kobojunkie: 11:20pm On Mar 13, 2025 |
Petalss:Which miracle working pastors abeg? The same ones who run straight to hospitals when they have their medical situations to deal with(some of them having doctors on staff or as associate pastors seeing to their health), abi other pastors? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Petalss(m): 3:51am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Petalss: Kobojunkie:Pay close attention to how I said they claim. |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Kobojunkie: 4:18am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Petalss:You identified them as miracles working pastors when there really isn't any evidence that they are any of that or should be qualified as such. That is what I am particular about. At best they are all frauds. ![]() |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Petalss(m): 4:42am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Kobojunkie:I recognize them based on what they claim to be. However, at bolded, no be me talk am oo. |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:39am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Jesus is not God, we are his brothers and there has never been a time God refer to worshipers as brothers: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” John 20:17 So Jesus' father is our father, Jesus' God is our God!
|
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 8:17am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Petalss:i think you really know what we were arguing about. Jesus is God also because he is a son to God. So if he heal the sick and raise the dead, is he whose power is he using |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 9:47am On Mar 14, 2025 |
delkuf:He recognised him and still told him to bow before him? How exactly did he recognize him? Is Satan not tempting everyone righteous? |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 9:48am On Mar 14, 2025 |
delkuf:The power of Allah. That was why he prayed before raising the dead! He can't do it himself! |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 9:52am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Antichristian2:what does it means to be tempted. So because the devil knows that it was the Lord Jesus he could not tempt him to bow for him. You think the devil is a fool and will not that it was the Lord Jesus he was tempting. You dey play. Yes Satan tempt everyone both righteous and unrighteous |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 9:53am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Kobojunkie:Where is the prayer in his name? Someone said when you pray address the father in heaven yet you still mention in his name! 2. What are you on about? The book tells you that YHWH is God of gods, implying that there are so many gods out there. I mention this several times when I insist that there are at least 4000 documented deities that are known of today.Are you saying Jesus is one of the gods and not God? |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by Antichristian2(op): 9:55am On Mar 14, 2025 |
delkuf:What can't he tempt Jesus like he tempted Job? Satan should have killed his father, Mother and brothers to see if he will turn stones to bread or not! That tempting is flimsy! |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 10:10am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Antichristian2:haaaaaa you are funny. You are telling that me that the devil tempting Jesus in a easy way. Will you rewrite the script. Don't you think that if Job after all his cattle was destroyed and his children were killed could stand for God, the Lord Jesus Christ could also stand for God. If Job could endure it, the Lord Jesus can also endure it |
| Re: Jesus Had A God... by delkuf(m): 10:11am On Mar 14, 2025 |
Antichristian2:power of which Allah. Who is Allah? |

Antichristian2:Religion is responsible for the notion that the term 'in His name" has the literal interpretation of calling out the actual name of Jesus Christ of Israel. Whereas, the Gospels never in fact state that the literal name of Jesus Christ of Israel is required when seeking answers to prayers or information from YHWH, the God of Israel and of Jesus Christ of Israel. Take the many instances where, rather than call him by His literal name, many of those who were healed by Him in the Gospels are instead said to have referred to Him using other terms such as "Son of David" or "Son of God", etc, yet they all got healed. :- An MI6 agent serves the King /Queen of England. His official presence everywhere he/she goes is construed as being in the name of the King/Queen of England. He/she does not need to invoke the name of the King/Queen of England for this to be understood as such. He merely needs to identify as an MI6 agent for this to be implicitly understood or accepted as so. Anyways, the point here is that a born-again — a citizen of the Kingdom of God that is Jesus Christ of Israel— would not need to involve the name of Jesus Christ of Israel to obtain help from the YHWH of Israel either. It is kind of same way the Israelites didn't have to go around shouting the name of YHWH before He, the God of Israel, knew to come to their rescue as His chosen people. ![]() 2. Jesus Christ of Israel said His Father is greater than He is even as He is one --- in agreement -- with His Father, and the Father is in Him, going as far as to compare Himself to the bronze snake that was raised in the desert to the condemned Isrealite in the desert. 😐 |

delkuf:Satan for try am na! Is that temptation? Turn stone to bread! Bow down and worship me! Jump from high place angels will protect you! Kill Mary! Kill Joseph! Kill all his disciples! Let him be alone like Job! Jesus go follow the Romans! |
