The Bible did not state the number of the wise men. It is an assumption that they were three in number because they bought only three gifts.

jesusjnr2020:
“For the riches of the sea shall be poured out before you, the wealth of nations shall come to you.

“Caravans of camels shall cover you, dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, all from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and heralding the praises of the Lord."

I hope all those arguing blindly can now see that the star that led the wise men to where baby Jesus so that they could worship Him, was not put there by the devil but God in order to fulfill the prophecy given in the scriptures by His prophet.

And the gifts, "gold and frankincense", they brought from the East was also in fulfilment of the biblical prophecy.

Something that some need to understand is that some spiritual things cannot be discerned by the carnal mind and worldly studying and understanding even if it be of the Bible, but only by the revelation of the Spirit of God. And God only reveals certain hidden Truths to those truly of His own.

That's how i came to figure this out this Truth and stood by it, despite that it was not the popular position.

The Truth is that those wise men from the East were men of God, and they were led by God via the star to where baby Jesus was so that they could worship Him.

And that purpose they accomplished.

God bless.

Those guys were not men of God Sir!!!!!. Ah ah Christian sha!!!! Go and search for the meaning of " maggi" just know that star reading is against Christianity...

Fear who? Is that what the wizards and demons told you? I am guessing you have met these witchs, wizards and demons..mate! All this are only in your imaginations these things do not exist. Could you show me a photo of a demons, witches and wizards so i can see what they look like, give me their phone numbers too i would like to call them and cofirm.

Christ is the Lord of all Lords.

That you don't see them does not mean they don't exist. Do you have sense? Yes, you do. But I don't need to see a photo of your sense before I can know you have sense.

If you live by what your eyes can see only, then your spirit is dead.

In the name of Jesus, we cast out demons. We destroy the operations of witches and wizards. We frustrate demonic counsels and put Satan himself to flight.

Perhaps, you don't believe also that God exists. Consider the following:

1. Who put oxygen in the air for you to breathe in to survive? Evolution?

2. Who designed a two legged creature to stand erect? The two feet keeps a firm grip on the ground. The muscles give stamina. And the arms provide walking balance? Who designed such intelligent standing and walking feature? Evolution?

3. Who designed the male organ, and another organ in the female to receive that of the male leading to procreation? Evolution?

4. The young baby is weak and cannot care for himself. Who put a desire for caring for a baby in the heart of its parents? They care for it until it's mature enough to care for itself. Who put such bonding in living creatures? Evolution?

5. Who designed the digestive system, so that food passes through the mouth, and the waste is passed out through the anus? Evolution?

6. Who designed the complex organs of the body with each organ performing its own function for the living creature? The eyes to see, the legs to walk, the ears to hear, and the arms to take hold. The arms and the knees are even fitted with intelligently designed joints, so that arms can be swung, and legs can fold and open. Who is behind all these intelligent masterpiece? Evolution?

7. Who put the ability of language in man so that he can interact with his fellow men and live with them in a community? Evolution? Could evolution be so wise?

8. Who created the light and the darkness that allows men to work during the day, and to rest at night? Evolution?

10. Why do trees and all plants exhale oxygen that human beings inhale? The oxygen content in the air never diminishes, because trees inhales man's carbondioxide which man exhales, and exhale oxygen which man inhales, thereby balancing the oxygen and carbondioxide content in the air to sustain plant and animal life. Who is behind the balancing of these gases? Evolution?

There are so many reasons why evolution can be questioned, but the above are just few.

If Evolution is the brain behind all these above, then Evolution must be a very intelligent entity, perfect in knowledge. If the millions of intelligent formations around the universe can be attributed to Evolution, then evolution is God, and must be worshipped.

But we know whom God is, the loving, mighty and eternal One whose throne is in heaven and whose Son is the Lord Jesus Christ.

We know Him. He whom the devils fear. He, before whom all the powers of hell tremble.

I pray that He'll reveal Himself to you, and deliver you from every destructive delusion into which the kingdoms of hell have put you.

May the eyes of your understanding be opened, and may you be delivered from every bondage of sin in Jesus mighty name.

Jesus Is Lord, and there's nothing Satan and all the hordes of hell can do about it.

More fairytales, all these you mentioned still proves nothing, they are all an imaginations in your head. You keep imagining satan, devil, God, witches, wizards and Jesus in your head. Thereby making yourself paranoid, afraid, hopeless and vulnerable. Show me where satan lives i would like to visit satan and buy him/her a drink for being able to manipulate your mind into believing all these rubbish. wake up! from religious slumber and ignorance.
There are millions of people like me who do not believe these fairytales but they are still here living normal lives.

Food was never a problem for the Son of GOD. You're translating how your grandmother raised your father into the birth of Christ.. lol. Selling pure water and stealing people's farm produce just to raise a bastard

You are trying to insult me over the son of a prostitu.te that the white man gave to you to worship as God. You are just a morron. Since you cant think for yourself ,i am doing the thinking for you and all i got is an insult. It wont be well for you and your generation and your fake jesus character...

od501:


Can u prove this?

When last did you SEE a woman get pregnant without a mans sperm ?

od501:


The bases of your argument is not solid enough. To answer that question, you need to understand the concept of God; God is not a human entity, the statement "son of God" is a metaphor. And yes, Jesus is the son God, just like other 7Billion people on earth.

Jesus existed, there has been scientific evidence to that fact. But the misconception comes from the way they introduced him to us. To me, Jesus is just like another Albert Estein, Issac Newton, and other list of geniuses we know today, thus, there is nothing divine about him; he is more of a political figure than religious figure.

Metaphor.....just like perseus of "clash of the titans"..is he real?

No need of argument my brother. I have tasted Spiritual Reality, and I know what I'm saying.

It's too difficult for sheep to understand why human beings enjoy music.

Let me tell you, you're spirit being yourself. Your spirit moves to several places in your sleep. Yeah, you see yourself in dreams doing things in diverse places while your body remains on the bed.

This is the conclusion of the matter:

There comes a day when you shall sleep in a horrible dream whereby you will never wake up. Human beings here on earth will dump your body in a six feet pit while you go on that eternal journey.

Wherever you may find yourself at that time, it will be determined by the choices you're making right now. If you find yourself in hell, Satan won over your life, but if Heaven, I'll give praise to God for you.

"For it is appointed unto man to die once; after this, the judgement."

I pray for you that you'll find peace on that day, when you sleep the sleep of death. I also pray that it will be a long time from now, in your old age, and thar before then, you would have met Jesus the way I met Him.

It is very possible bro, Google "Asexual reproduction in humans", it will threw more light. But mind you, I never said Jesus was conceived by a virgin, as the whole story is still not clear; there has been controversies surrounding the that part of Jesus's life.

Every translation tweaked it, especially king James version which was the main source of most translated bibles. Thomas Jefferson was candid enough to completely erase it, with a reason that it is too dangerous for public consumption. Jesus existed no doubt, but the story surrounding both the birth and death has always been a subject of secrecy.

Google "massacre of 1099" by the holy army by the order of the then pope for more reference. Jesus was born, he walked the earth, he got married, has a kid (a daughter), and was truly a victim of political persecution.
