For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”? And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son” Hebrews 1:5 According to the Psalmist God promised to introduce the Christ as His Son {Psalms 2:7} so Paul reminded the Jews who were using the names of angels in prayers though God never introduced any angel to them as His Son. Of course Jesus is one of the angels in heaven so when God introduced him to mankind he was presented as a man in flesh and blood like one of us. Therefore whatever we are experiencing as humans Jesus also experienced yet he remained obedient till death. Philippians 2:8 YES. From the day John baptized Jesus of Nazareth God declared him as His Son whom we must all listen to! Hebrews 5:5 compare to Matthew 3:17 |

Can any human become a son of God in the same way like Jesus? YES! But how? First of all we shouldn't forget that Jesus has been with God for as long as creation itself started {John 1:1-5} so he is not just human who came through the lineage of Adam rather he is one of God's spirit sons in heaven known as angels or morning stars {Job 38:7} but as the most faithful of all he shines so brightly than the rest that's why he is called the BRIGHT morning star! Revelations 1:5 Jesus also worked with his father during the creation of all other things made by God {Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:30} so unlike humans he has vast knowledge as God's coworker. John 1:2 So how can a mere human become a son of God in the same way as Jesus? First of all we shouldn't forget that through Adam all humans became like walking corpses {Romans 3:23; 5:12} that makes it somehow impossible for any human to be equal with Jesus but as one of his disciples who accepted to make him our role model God decided to pick among us a limited number of humans that will serve as corulers with Christ in heaven. John 14:1-3; Revelations 14:1 So it's only among Jesus' disciples that any human could be chosen as one of the spiritual sons of God! John 1:11-12 To be continued.... |

The Jews believe that when the Christ comes he will elevate them above all the tribes of the earth that's why a religious sect called "Pharisees" strongly believe it's within their group that the Christ will begin the selection so they look down on all other Jews who aren't members of their sect as classless beings. Knowing fully well that something is not right with their group Nicodemus one of Pharisees picked few points from what John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth said against his sect went to Jesus in the night to ask him what he must do to become one of Christ's corulers. Jesus knew the intention of member of that political Jewish sect so he did not wait for what Nicodemus will say instead Jesus said: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3 This is the first time Jesus mention that phrase "BORN AGAIN" and he never repeated it to anyone throughout his life and ministry. Jesus couldn't have hidden such a thing from sincere people just to reveal it to a Pharisee who visited him alone at night if that's the only means of being a beneficiary of God's Kingdom so what did Jesus mean by the phrase BORN AGAIN? Well Nicodemus asked Jesus and he said: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water and spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. What has been born from the flesh is flesh, and what has been born from the spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed because I told you: You people must be born again. The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who has been born from the spirit.” John 3:5-8 Surely Jesus isn't talking about what all prospective subjects of God's Kingdom must do rather he meant the selection of these fold is not open to everyone who wish to be a part of it but something that only God determines! Matthew 20:20-23 Nicodemus a member of the most respected Jewish religious sect left Jesus that night not knowing what to do so he remained a secret friend of Jesus until the day Jesus died. So when did the door to become BORN AGAIN or spiritual sons of God was made open to humans? To be continued.... |

There was a temple made with hands in Jerusalem and that was the only place God approved as center of pure worship before Jesus but Jesus said he will demolish that temple and raise it in three days {John 2:19} what he meant is not that physical temple rather he was talking about another temple entirely which wasn't made with hands! John 2:21 Now inside the old temple there was a portion called Holy and another separate room within that called Most Holy or Holy of Holies {Exodus 26:33} in ancient Israel all the worshipers are God's holy people that He protects from enemy nations but within this nation of thirteen tribes God chose one (Levites) this are the only tribe privileged to step their foot into the portion of the temple called Holy no Israelite is permitted to step his foot into the Holy if he's not a Levite they are the only tribe given the privilege to officiate inside the Holy part of the temple. The other large room called the Most Holy should not be entered except once in a year by the Highpriest who is also a member of the tribe of Levi he shouldn't enter this place without offering a sacrifice for his own life otherwise the angel in the Most Holy will strike him dead. Leviticus 16:2 In the New Spiritual Temple Jesus used his blood and body as sacrifice for entry into this temple so spiritual Levites can officiate inside it that sacrifice he presented in heaven before God's throne! Hebrews 9:11-12 So likewise inside the new temple Jesus serves as the Highpriest and the lamb whose blood was used for atonement for sin however he himself doesn't need to atone for his own sin because he's without sin unlike human Highpriests. This is what the blood of Jesus made possible for a limited number of faithful Christians to enter into that little fold of spiritual Levites (priests) who will join him in heaven (the holy) their number is 144,000 {Revelations 14:1} these are the ones Jesus called the little flock {Luke 12:32} they will be taken to heaven with him {John 14:1-3} that's where they are going to serve as Kings and Priests with the Christ! Revelations 20:6 So these are the BORN AGAIN brothers of Christ who will go to heaven with him and their number is limited but Jesus said: “And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those too I must bring in, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd." John 10:16 Who are these so called other sheep and where will Jesus get them from? To be continued.... |

MightySparrow:Your disbelief and faithlessness can't stop his sheep from identifying their kind as well as the sheephouse where they are gathered! John 10:27 So when they hear the voice of their kind they will leap for joy and seek all means to join the fold! John 10:16

MightySparrow:You are faithless otherwise any sensible human know it's only true Christians that can apply what Jesus said to their activities! James 2:18-26 Jesus said: “You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when located on a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house. Likewise, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens. Matthew 5:14-16 Oya Adeboye/Oyedepo pikin prove Jehovah's Witnesses aren't the group Jesus is talking about in those verses: APOPTOSIS: BafanaBafana: Oye0404: XXLDICK: freethinker01: boss1310: Deway52: Love800: |

MightySparrow:Tell Jesus and his disciples because that is exactly what the Jews are saying against Jesus and his disciples till today. So if Jews despite all the PRACTICAL BENEFITS of Jesus' ministry and how his disciples also proved to fulfill prophesies that has been written in the scriptures thousands of years before their time called Jesus an "IMPOSTOR" {Matthew 27:63} how much more do we expect from faithless people like you? Matthew 10:24-25  |

The other sheep! John 10:16 According to Jesus this other sheep aren't of the same fold with his first one but he will also bring them into the same sheephouse so they may all come under one shepherd. Before we figure out what Jesus meant by his other sheep let's find out what he meant by sheep in the first instance. A sheep is a domestic animal that always rely on guidance so for a sheep to feed and grow well it needs the presence of a shepherd who leads it to where it could get good pasture {Psalms 23:2} but what if the shepherd is busy doing something else? Well a skillful shepherd will not leave his sheep if he has only one but where they are many he must train some of the sheep to act in his absence so if they are in thousands he will group them into fifties or more then a trained sheep will guide each fifties while all the trained sheep also have another sheep that will lead the whole thousands. So when they hear the voice of the lead sheep all of them no matter what they're doing will move at once and start following the lead sheep. In like manner Jehovah God is the shepherd who has trained one sheep to lead the rest of his millions of sheep that one sheep is Jesus Christ that's why the Bible often call Jesus the lamb of God {John 1:29; Revelations 7:17} he is rightly called the lamb because a big sacrifice is required to save obedient mankind as in sheeplike humans from sin and death but only a perfect human equal to Adam could offer this sacrifice with his own life! Mark 10:45 compare to 1Corinthans 15:45 So when Jesus started gathering people in the first century he selected 12 men to serve as trained sheep that will guide the flock! John 21:15-17 This little group will grow to 144,000 humans to serve as kings and priests with the lamb of God! Revelations 14:1 This group are special before God because they've been fully tested as real sheep of Christ that's why Jesus said from Abel till John the baptist none of them is as great as one of these special group {Matthew 11:11} Jesus has trained them so as to fitness they come first that's why they will be taken to heaven along with him as his corulers! Revelations 20:5-6 So the question again comes to mind. Who are the other sheep? To be continued... |

In the beginning God created a couple and they were supposed to multiply and fill planet earth with their offsprings until people are living in all the parts of this planet. God designed a garden for this couple and make sure everything they need is there with them, they are to raise children so that each pair will move to different parts and build their own home with gardens just like their parents own theirs. Sadly this couple chose to rebel against their Creator and the consequences of their actions is what we are all experiencing till today: sickness, oldage, death, suffering, crime, injustice just to mention a few. The perpetrators of these evil acts come from the loins of the rebellious couple but since God was double sure of what He made God promised that some among the descendants of these wicked couple will prove to be different from their parents in fact these faithful ones will exhibit the fine attributes of their Creator. So when Adam and Eve started having children their first son (Cain) was a rebel just like his parents but the second child proved to be totally different from his entire family and right from that moment God started keeping a record of the names of humans who proved to be obedient among the descendants of Adam till today! Malachi 3:16 compare to Revelations 20:15 These obedient ones will inherit eternal blessings God intended for Adam and Eve but which they despised. Matthew 25:34 But before they could be fully approved for everlasting life each of them must become like Jesus in thought, word and actions so they need to be taught all the things Jesus commanded his disciples before they can be granted everlasting life. So after Jesus and his angels have destroyed all rebellious humans in just one day {Luke 19:27} he (Jesus) will bring back faithful people who died right from Abel {Hebrews 11:4-32} till the last whose names are recorded in God's memory {John 5:28-29} then another set of humans will also be resurrected though these ones never had any dealings with the true God due to the times they lived or their geographical locations they had no opportunity of knowing the true God but they lived by their God's given conscience: For all those who sinned without law will also perish without law; but all those who sinned under law will be judged by law. For the hearers of law are not the ones righteous before God, but the doers of law will be declared righteous. For when people of the nations, who do not have law, do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves. They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them, and by their own thoughts they are being accused or even excused. Romans 2:12-15 God will bring back these people for them to learn all the things Jesus commanded Christians! Revelations 20:11-13 So both ancient servants of God and people who made themselves prisoners of conscience will be raised back to life for Christians to teach them what Christ our Master, Lord and King taught us. These people including Christians who are no part of the first fold of anointed ones are the OTHER SHEEP Jesus talked about! John 10:16 What about evildoers as in those who deliberately choose to be wicked? What will God do to such ones who rendered their conscience dead? To be continued... |

MaxInDHouse:I asked you not to talk about faith again. It a subject you don't know. You have put limits on what your God can do for you and you are talking about faith about somebody who believes God for everything from healing to everything needed. Faith is dependence on God for everything. Absolutely everything. Your doctrine says your own God has been on holiday since the departure of the Apostles. My own Bible tells me that my own God is alive and active. the God you will call and not sure He will answer you is the one you are bragging about. What do you want those of us, He doesn't deny our requests to do?Delusion upon delusion.  1 Like |

Jesus Christ was never one of the angels. Hebrews 1 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⁵ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? ⁶ And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. ⁷ And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. ⁸ But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. |
