I ask this question, because of the teachings of certain sects and religious groups, such as Islam who claims Christ was just a prophet, the Jehovah witness who claim Christ is angel michael, and some other groups who try to discredit and deny the divinity and preexistence of Christ.

I presume God's statement (come lets make man in our own image) in the book of "Genesis" was directed to Christ and possibly the holy spirit which is a proof for the doctrine of trinity...

Anyway if there's a contrary probative opinion with cogent evidences, am ready to learn and be corrected.

What else do you want to learn? Bible is supreme and the word of God. Don read any other opinion here orchestrated by Satan don't fall into heresy please

I thought you said New testament is wrong why are you now referring to Paul who was in the new tastement?
Bros you just keep going back and forth, someone with intelligence on this matter would have schooled me what that passages I mention meant, not going about insulting the Bible or Europeans
Did I say what Saul, or Paul claimed in the New Testament is fact? I did not say what was said in the New Testament is wrong, I said it was mostly fabricated to meet the white man’s narrative.

The books of the Old Testament occurred in Africa & the Middle East, no mention of Europe, the New Testament Which is all about Oyibos, started in Mesopotamia (Turkey) & Europe.

God is talking to the 1 (Jesus Christ) he created first and whom he used to create angels and other beings Colosians 1:15,16.

What of the Koran, is it not also of the Almighty? Even the Scripture encourages us to study, to find yourself approved.

He is not talking to no Jesus Christ that was born of a woman, that myth on creation had been in existence long before the Jews left for Canaan, & adopted it.

The problem with the Bible is the translation.... The original language in which it was written should have been preserved.. So people can learn the language like the quaran Arabic

All I hearsay, so Jesus Christ came before Papa Abraham? Where was Jesus mentioned in Isaiah? It is an assumption, they might as well have been talking of Elijah?

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion (Proverbs 18:2).


I wanted to give you a reply based on your assertions/questions but i checked your posts and saw that all you do is go about arguing from thread to thread without actually listening to others peoples point of view.

You are wise in your own eyes, that makes you blind to the kingdom of God.
No body can ever talk you into something you don't want to associate with. Jesus practically lived among humans and still many did not believe him or what he had to say. So at the end of the day its your choice, be it to you according to your faith.

I am not here to argue and would ignore any argument coming from you. All my explanations are backed up by the bible scriptures which i included in the text...you should read them rather than arguing blindly and changing the topic to initiate further argument.

Even the devil will claim to speak the word with no blemishes, but believe him not, he only came to deceive, steal, kill & destroy.

You are no different from Boko Haram, all their baseless vague arguments comes from their own misconstrued opinion of the Koran, just like you claim yours comes from The King James version of your perceived truth? You & anyone is entitled to your opinion, I am not trying to change it.

I was asked by my Muslim brother, what is that image of a man wearing only a cloth covering his crotches, nailed to a cross in front of the Church entrance, I said that is God, he looked at me, shook his hand & worked away, you can imagine how foolish I must have been.

You need to understand the redemption plan of God after Adam and Eve disobeyed Jehovah's commandment in the Garden of Eden

John 1:1-3 (KJV)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.


That meeting in the beginning was a meeting of the highest order of heaven. It involved the Three in one Person.

The Father, the Word (which later became flesh in Jesus) and the Spirit.

The Word and Spirit belongs to the Father and They were both instrumental in the Work He did in the beginning. The Word came out of His Mouth, and the Spirit performed the Word.

So when God said let Us make man in our Own image, the "Us" referred to Word and the Spirit which He used to make the things He made in the beginning.

He also used "let Us" in the Instance of the tower of babel, where the one language of the world was divided. It involved the same Word and the Spirit which He used to make things in the beginning, hence after the same Word was made flesh, and was multiplied after His death, and the Spirit of God performed the Word that had multiplied, they were able to speak in the one language that was divided because of the tower of Babel when God used the term, "let Us" as He did in the beginning.

God doesn't consult with the angels concerning any plans He has, He just makes decisions and gives them instructions to carry out. The angels weren't involved in the making of things in the beginning so God couldn't have been talking to them but those involved which was His Word and His Spirit.

God bless.

He's God the son, nobody claimed that he's God the Father. Don't get it twisted
I want a clarification from you to be sure of your stance really, because in truth there are actually different trinitarian theologies.
Is he equal with God the Father? Is he of the same age? Does he have a beginning. Was he created? Is he of equal authority with God.
Many trinitarians offer a very unnatural and confusing picture that, Trinity doesn't contain three persons but one person in different dimensions. If this is your take? Stephens vision rubbishes that. But answer those questions if it's not your take

The way Christians/bible brandish God is too ridiculous... God - 3 persons in one, God searching for Adam and Eve in the garden not knowing they have disobeyed, God spitting fire and smoke from his nose, Jacob wrestle with God, God threatened by the people of Babylon who were building a tower and most ridiculous is God requiring innocent blood before he can forgive...

No sane person will settle for this type of God.

Reason people, reason.....
