Eviana:
I understand what you are saying now.
I also want to sincerely apologize for what has transpired on this thread.
I had "0" intention of causing any battle between you and the other poster.
I appreciate his comment in defense of me, but I have not a clue as to what caused him to respond like that to you?
Only he knows why he did this....in this manner.
You seem very sincere about your love for the Lord...from what I've read and I am not questioning that.
I was just offering a suggestion about a way to do it in a more gentle way.
I appreciate you conversing with me in a civil manner.
Again, my apologies.

Eviana:
I can't quench this spiritual passion for Nigeria.... which some folks may not quite understand.
However, thank you for your comment....oh and I plan to (by God's grace)continue staying blessed by Him and being a blessing to others.

iyambz:
Thank you for the response. I really appreciate. Kindly ignore the angry toddler. Responding to him/her will only lend credibility to the pile of trash he/she spews out on this forum.

I did not defend you as I have learned to mind my business. This is public forum anyone can contribute to. I do not have time to defend anyone cos I dont need the association or the favor of anyone. I stand for the truth. The truth here is that he is a time bomb who is ready to cause religious war. You have written many times you are American, and I ask you, if good people do not prevail on your ex President Trump and allowed him go at his pace, do you think you can still have a peaceful United States? Even most social media had to gag him. I was against it later cos even lesser ones did it to him, but it worked. They checked him fast. The man even has created "The office of the former president" lol. See, people like him will not stop. They may start with God's plan, but their over zealous attitude always kills them. They won't know when the spirit of God departs just like with Saul the King.

At times we need to ask ourselves. Has God sent us to write what we have decided to? Many just want to cause trouble. I am defending my nation Nigeria. The civil war of many years ago we experienced is enough. This war is why the hatred for Igbo is so much. I love everyone, even the fulanis, I love them so much. But something is wrong somewhere. The way Christians defend their faith is the way Moslim will too. Is it a moslim man causing trouble here? To heck with his truth. And to heck with defending you. I have no time for such. See, carry your hypocrites away. I will tell you straight here too. What you dont know, you ask. I dont defend anyone who is not worthy to be defended. You are not worthy to be defended. Far from it to defend you. I have read it many times where statements like this from you. And they dont bother me. It just shows who really you are.

But guess what, if I need to still write and maybe it may sound I defenx you, far away from it. I write only what I know is alright. There is something I want to learn and that is why I do what I do. So, relax. I dont know you, and i dont want to know you. Certainly, I will never defend you. So, let it sink into you that I am a free writer. And I'm telling you, I can write something which may look like I defend you tomorrow. No, I am just being neutral. I just read what people write and i try to understand them. That's all. Please, if you endorse his ma.dn.ess of going about attacking denominations and causing troubles, you will have me face you too. Tolerate others. If you think a denomination is fake, choke it down your members throat in your local church, and stop there. This is a global forum. Your truth can cause war if you agree with his method. Is it what you want? If not, stop supporting as.sholes like this OP.

Again, i dont know you, and I dont want yo know you. All I want to do is discuss and learn. Period. You arent too special for me to waste my energy to defend. There is no gentle way a ma.d man will go about his things. A ma.d man is always violent. He will never listen. The only language his ma.dne.ss understand is hitting him back hard. So, if you cannot check him, step aside and dont make him feel special. Why don't you mention your denomination and see if he will not write lies about you? Go on. Do it.

Eviana:
Just to be impartial and also give a suggestion, the bolded words could be omitted also.
I have "0" control over anyone, so you choose what you want to do.
[s]Sometimes the hardest thing to practice is temperance (self-control) and not retaliate or avenge oneself. [/s]
You know, not behave in the same manner that reflects one's opponent.
Christianity, in this case, has to be practical.

Eviana:
Praying for you sir.....

Yes, I love my birth country.
Yes, I now love my bi-cultural genes.
Yes, I have a burden for this my "other" country.
Yes, I am praying for this my "other" country.

Yes, I respect the office of the president.
Yes, I am praying for my former president.
Yes, I am praying for my newly elected president and vice-president.

[s]Yes, I do not agree with everything that Iyambz has written... which is why I conversed with him in a civil manner..& vice-versa. [/s]
Yes, he may have some problems with my denomination..which he is free to have.
I have written enough comments, created enough threads, posted enough videos and left enough book quotations for anyone wanting to know my denomination.
See, this isn't about showcasing a denomination for clout....
If I were afraid of what people thought of me, my denomination or my walk with Christ, I most definitely would not have continued being a member on this forum for 4 years...as tumultuous as it has been.
Christianity is about Jesus Christ first and foremost...and everything else comes gradually.
Iyambz is completely free to create a thread on my denomination if he wants to.

That's his God-given right to do.
I will not explode if he decides to take issue with my denomination anymore than I do when other religions attack Christianity...(which is the theme of the Religion section).
What I have always done and will continue to do is post a question or comment if needs be.

From the 2-3 threads that I have read from him thus far, those led me to believe that he is striving to serve Christ.
Sure he and I disagree on some of hid approaches and will probably (in the future) on some doctrines, [s]but what I won't do is condemn him or think that he was trying to start a religious war. [/s]
If he is insincere or false, then God will ultimately deal with him.

Sir, my apologies for saying that you were briefly defending me...
I get it...you were NOT doing so.
I will say it again: you were NOT defending me.
You also DO NOT know me....and do NOT want to know me....for the record.

I'll let these be my last words with you in order to not continue down this path.
[s]I have "0" desire to argue or debate anything.... [/s]

[s]May you surrender to the Lord...
He's still patiently waiting. [/s]

PeaceLoveJoy:
I have read this statement many times, and it seems you dish it out to whoever you don't agree with. Well, I think you need to start focusing on your nation. The US has got so much now that you have so much to pray for there. I am praying for the US. And God will answer our (Nigerians) prayers.

I will not tell you lies, I am not praying for you cos this is not what my inner man has told me to do. My inner man has just told me to say the truth and move on. I will sow the seed, and allow God to water it. Therefore, like I told you earlier: I do not know you, and I have no desire to know you. Just read the truth and work on it. That's all. I hope you pray for yourself.


You arent bi-cltural. You are pure American. In fact, you prefer calling yourself "black american" instead of African American - so says your profile here. I have noticed it.

Also, there is nothing Nigerian presently in you. If you are a true Nigerian, I will know. How can you be a true Nigerian and be tribalistic. You allow what you read here to cloud your judgement. You allow people like this OP to unconsciously push you into the tribalistic war going on. Listen to me. I am first a Nigerian before I will mention my tribe. In fact, I dont do it. But I read in your profile - Black American Born & Igbo Woman . Not African American, and not Nigerian, but Igbo. I think you should just join the Ipob and join tje Biafra movement. But I think you dont understand these issues. You do not. You allow what you read online cloud your judgement. I advise you to visit your root if you truly are Nigerian. You are first a Nigerian, before you are Igbo. You will not carry an Igbo passport but a Nigerian passport. And it will never be written on it if you are igbo or not. You have not even visited but already calling yourself Igbo. Lol. OMG!

I think you need to re educate yourself. I have said enough about this, and I do not want to know you. Period..



Since it is ONLY the US passport you carry, you need to focus your prayer there more.

There is a big problem you need to focus on. And its Biden. Well, I have no problem about it because I accept everyone for who the person is. But hmmm....we know we are dealing with principalities and powers. Every nation has got a problem the devil has thrown against her. Nigeria is religious war. And it is why you should exercise patience. I am not against preaching the truth, but the truth that will cause war is what I am against. There are ways to address issues like those. Fulani heardmen is also part of it. More of political than religious. These people know the only way they can cause trouble is to turn it to religious war. So, it is why we need to kill any religious provoking utterances fast. You dont know cos you are not Nigerian. You may be through one of your parents, but the real you is not Nigerian. You need to visit to really have full understanding. If not, just caution yourself and do not let what you read cloud your judgement and make you react unwisely.

What religious issue like herdsman to us is what homosexuality is to you. Do you talk freely about it? Do you argue it publicly? But you want to talk bold about religious issue here to do what? To cause war? I have read your threads and I noticed the man called Mr Doug Batchelor. Click the link and listen to his video about homos. I can feel how he was so careful not to offend anyone. And he also said somewhere in the video that we have "free will". This is the man you have flooded his video in your thread.

http://arthurandteresabeem..com/2012/05/doug-batchelor-and-homosexuality.html?m=1

So, why is this man not going about inciting strong words about the issue daily in the name of saying the truth? Why did he choose his words with wisdom? And is he always attacking homosexuals? Of course if he wants to, he knows he dear not do it continuously, consistently and confrontationally. Now, you even have a president who is ready to promote it. So, why dont you also join the protest and March to White house to shout you dont want homosexuals and that they are going to hell. Carry placards and start shouting they are doomed for hell fire. Go on do it because you need to say the truth. Go on..

I have read where you said you.dont talk about politics and your siblings respect it. Why? Because you know it is sensitive. And here we are. You have been told many times which i have read that most issues here are political, but the vehicle used is religion to cause trouble, yet, you do not want to understand it. Why must a Christian confront moslims? For what? To choke it down their throats that Jesus is the savior? Did Jesus send you to do that? He said that his disciples preach to them once and if they rejected them, they leave the town and make sure they remove the dust of the town from their scandals. Meaning, do not revisit the issue. Allow God to do his work. You have said yours.

You have so much to pray about your nation. Is it justified for the so called good people to go to the Capitol and do the rubbish they did? Those are the so called good people. Lol. Did Jesus send them? I doubt it.

You need to re-focus on interceeding for the glory of Leadership to not leave your nation instead of meddling with what you dont understand in Nigeria. Your nation has become a laughing doll that Iran laughed her to scorn. The US has no moral right to even try to correct any nation again. I think you focus on this more.

If you know you are drawn to Nigeria, then, visit this nation. And God will reveal more to you. Like I wrote earlier, I dont know you, and I dont want to know you. What my inner man says I tell you is what I am dropping here without any apology..


Better you had stayed silent. You talking is making him hide you. He knows he is wrong, but he needs the support of people. And he is using you.

About your denomination, I didnt mean you are afraid. I was just saying that this terrible OP will attack you. Well, you may respond well, but I am saying that it is uncalled for. And he will definitely do it again and again. He is free to write rubbish, and I am equally free to knock his coconut head everytime he writes them. Simple as ABC.


Of course, I do not expect you to explode. But do not let him use you to promote religious war here. That's all.


You won't condemn him because you also agree Catholic is a "dangerous" denomination? But just the cat part you disagree with. Listen, stop it. Dont promote religious war here. You should focus on homosexuality in the US than causing religious war here. Go and sort out the challenges of your nation first and leave Nigeria alone. After all, you have not stepped your feet here. God forbid Nigeria should burn down, it will not affect you so much. You will just cry "what a pity". And life goes on for you. This is the only country I have. I am.not interested in relocating to any nation.


Exactly! I do not know you. And I do not want to know you. I have no desire to defend you. I am just a free writer. Enjoy my posts and learn from them the way I enjoy yours and learn from them. Actually, you wrote some good stuff. Mehn! Thanks very much. I love reading, and I must say, you are good sometimes. Just that I expect you to explain your videos and then relate them to this present situation we are in. Your copy and paste is too much.


How can I argue with someone I have no desire to know? I said I do not know you, and I do not want to know you. If you post and I feel like making comments, it is a free world, and vice versa..still I dont want to know you. My message is a clear as ABC.


You arent God and you arent a judge to know who has surrendered and who has not. And it is non of your business. This is the attitude in you I have noticed. What if you have not surrendered to Him yourself? Remove the dirt from your eyes first before you remove from others. I cannot judge you if you have or not.

I advise you again, focus on your nation. Remove the dirt from your eyes first. Your nation has a huge problem. Gone are the days Americans always feel they have the right to poke nose into the affairs of others. And it has become the attitude of most of her citizens. Always making authoritative statements. Go amd check your salvation first before making statements like you are a mini god.

All I can wish you is good luck.

The same Catholic Church that handed down the Trinity doctrine to all your various churches which you blindly follow? You’re also a cultist if you still adhere to their teachings of Trinity and hellfire.

Go and research more on “Comma Johannine” if you want to understand the truth behind the rendering of that verse. Other reliable Bible translations have cleared up the confusion already.

PeaceLoveJoy:

I looked into it, and it is talking about omission of comas, and I got hooked. It is saying something special, and I want to know. At times, when I see new stuff, I just beat my head why I didnt see them earlier. Bro, in a short sentence, what are you saying so as I am looking deep, I can take note of your position. What exactly is the conclusion of Comma Johannine? Saying what exactly? Personally, I don't rely only KJV again. The story behind the version is political, and there are stunts King James performed. He was not even a Christian. A beg, leave that guy alone, and let us read your thought. Not saying I have accepted your position, but kindly drop your thought in details. Just ignore that guy.

PeaceLoveJoy:

Ok. You gave a reference - Comma Johannine for Trinity that I have asked you questions above. Nice! Please, could you state your position on hellfire? And kindly give references to support your position again here.
If you have evidences about your position on Trinity, kindly drop them too. Not arguing with you. I just want to get facts from you.

DappaD:
Good morning. I’ll like to state my position first that I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

As for the “Comma Johannine” issue, it’s already well documented that the words “the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” that appear in the KJV translation of 1John 5:7-8 do not appear in the original Greek manuscripts. Erasmus[a 16th century Dutch scholar] corrected the errors that were spuriously added in the Latin Vulgate that’s why the Roman Catholic Church pressured him to include it in his translation.
Those spurious words have been used for so long to purport the Trinity doctrine but that’s already old news that has been debunked severally.

The Bible clearly states that the God of the Bible has a name—Jehovah.
Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 12:2

So rather than talking about a three-faced god, the Bible asserts that Jehovah is one God.
Deuteronomy 6:4, Galatians 3:20

Now, Jehovah has several spirit sons[angels], including Gabriel [Job 38:7, Daniel 7:10]
But one especially stands out as being God’s only begotten Son[John 3:16] by virtue of him being the first creature ever made by God—Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:15-16

Jesus and his Father, Jehovah enjoy a very close relationship. Matthew 11:27, John 17:5
That’s why the qualities of his Father such as humility, compassion, love[2Samuel 22:36, Psalm 103:8] rubbed off on him to the point that he could say that anyone who had seen him had already seen the Father. John 14:9

Even while on earth, Jesus admitted to having a God[Matthew 6:9, Mark 10:18, John 20:17]
He also acknowledged that he was not on the same level with his God and Father[John 14:28, Philippians 2:6] Jesus’ disciples addressed him properly as the Son of God[Matthew 16:16, John 20:31] so the identity of Jesus Christ is not hidden or a mystery.

After returning to heaven, we still see that Jesus continues subject to his God and Father, Jehovah because according to Psalm 110:1 and Acts 2:34-35, Jehovah commanded Jesus to sit down at his right hand and exercise patience for the appointed time of the nations to be fulfilled.
Luke 21:24

Also in Revelation 3:12,21, there is also a clear distinction made between God and Jesus. The latter kept on calling Jehovah, “My God” “My Father” because he knew that his authority was given to him by Jehovah.
Matthew 28:18, Philippians 2:9-11, Hebrews 1:8

The Trinity doctrine was fabricated and forged so that the name of the true God—Jehovah would become hidden. An essential part of someone’s salvation is acknowledging Jehovah’s name. Joel 2:32, Romans 10:13
Hence by inventing the Trinity doctrine[worthless tradition], the Catholic Church put many in line for destruction, not salvation.
Matthew 23:13, Mark 7:13

And so, according to Jesus’ words recorded at John 17:3, everlasting life[salvation] depends on knowing the difference between the true God Jehovah and his Son whom God sent. Compare John 6:38

DappaD:
Now concerning the doctrine of “hellfire”, please note that several major and minor religions also have this doctrine e.g. Islam, Buddhism etc
The Catholic Church adopted this false teaching from the pagan worshipers around them and even went as far as including purgatory and Limbo. This false teaching was used for centuries by the Catholic Church to have a cause for extorting, maiming and even killing innocent men, women and children who did not subscribe to their beliefs. If you think I’m making all of these up, please go and read up about the Inquisition and the crusades[so-called holy wars].

On the other hand, the Bible doesn’t teach of such an abhorrent thing as a “hellfire”. I know, you might want to go and quote Scriptures such as Matthew 5:22, Mark 9:48, Luke 16:19-31 but bear in mind that those Scriptures have nothing to do with a fiery place of torment as the Luke 16 account is a parable with a hidden meaning and the other two contain the word “Gehenna” which was a place outside Jerusalem where rubbish was burnt and dead criminals who didn’t deserve a proper burial were incinerated.

Jesus could not have been referring to a place of everlasting torment for two solid reasons:

1. The idea alone of burning someone alive in fire disgusts Jehovah. Jeremiah 7:31
It was also partly for this reason that God exterminated the Canaanites, because those pagan worshipers burnt their children alive in fire. Deuteronomy 12:31
So why would God go around his own standards and burn sinners[who made it their choice not to serve him] forever in fire?

2. Mark 9:48 parallels the inspired words of an ancient Hebrew prophet, Isaiah.
The bodies of those going to Gehenna, as has been previously stated, were dead bodies, not live ones. That’s the reason why Isaiah 66:24 says that it is the corpses/carcasses of wicked men who will be thrown into the fire and not people who are alive.

The words “hell”, “hellfire” and “lake of fire” mean totally different things and are usually interchanged.

The first one “hell” is often rendered “pit” in the Old Testament, but the actual rendering is meant to be “Sheol” in Hebrew, “Hades” in Greek and “Grave” in modern English which means the common grave of mankind and depicts a state/condition of inactivity/unconsciousness.
Ecclesiastes 9:10

The second one as has been said was fabricated.
The translator of the KJV felt at liberty to replace “Gehenna” with “hellfire” so as to scare people and unfortunately other translators followed suit. But they don’t know the harm they were bringing to themselves. Revelation 22:18-19

The third one “lake of fire” symbolizes the “second death” which means total destruction/annihilation, a death from which there can no be hope of resurrection and not everlasting torment.
Revelation 21:8

Interestingly, Revelation 20:14 says that “hell” will be thrown into the “lake of fire”.
Does that mean “hell” would literally suffer and burn? Or does it not rather mean that “hell” which is actually “Grave” would become nonexistent in order for people not to die anymore?
Compare Revelation 21:3-4

Know today, that Jehovah wants all to serve him from their hearts and out of love for him[Matthew 22:37-40] and not out of morbid fear, since God himself is the embodiment of love.
1John 4:8

iyambz:
I will create a new thread on trinity later this evening.

PeaceLoveJoy:
Why dont you put it here also? And then put it in your new thread. It just keeps the communication going on here.

DappaD:
@PeaceLoveJoy
Go and search about your Church’s history nobody is forging anything. That’s what the Vatican have tried to hide for years in their secret vaults. Unfortunately for them, the history books do not lie.

[s]The translators of the KJV and the others took it upon themselves to remove God’s personal name[JEHOVAH] and replaced it with Lord/Adonai. [/s] They thought what they were doing was right, meanwhile they were only blindly following Jewish tradition.

Exodus 3:15&Isaiah 42:8 states that YHWH[Hebrew] i.e. JEHOVAH[English] is God’s name forever and anyone who tries to stamp it out is only being mischievous. So do not bring up the whole “Lord” issue because it simply means “Master” or “Owner” and is not the personal name of God. “El-Shaddai” simply means “God Almighty” and not the name of God.
Genesis 17:1, Revelation 15:3

The “Trinity” doctrine is a mystery as you guys always say, so when you try to explain it you’ll only put yourself in more trouble. After all I’ve encountered many as in many of your kind who have their own versions and definitions about this “Trinity”.

Concerning the destruction of all forms of life in Noah’s day and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, God’s Word the Bible makes it clear that the ungodly men underwent everlasting destruction/annihilation. They did not suffer in any “hellfire” after they were destroyed. 2Peter 2:5-6, Jude 7

Go and look at Isaiah 66:24, the carcasses of wicked men are thrown into the fire. Not living humans. I’m not the one who said it. It parallels Mark 9:48 because Jesus drew his words from that Bible verse.

The Pharisees in Luke 16 were listening to Jesus Christ[Luke 16:14] these self righteous men saw the common Jew as nothing and they expected the Messiah to align with them, but when he didn’t, they often sneered, abused and maligned he and his works, so Jesus said that a significant change was going to occur between the self righteous persons and the common man in Judea[Luke 16:16] and that’s what set the pace for the parable that Jesus told in Luke 16:19-31.

You know, it takes a sincere, humble and Godly person to acknowledge his/her mistakes and offer an apology to people he/she has offended. A Godly person does not pick and choose who to apologize to either when multiple people are involved.

While I won't say that I know your motives for apologizing to him, I see you gave one to Iyambz only...
Makes me question if I was set-up.

Although I did not receive an apology at all, I forgive your behavior towards me PeaceLoveJoy.
I did nothing to receive the unleashing of an unbridled furor such as what was done to me on yesterday.
Yes, I could have kept quiet but I choose not to.
Witchcraft is not only rebellion, but also the blood-thirsty, insatiable desire to control a person's thoughts, moves and actions.
For those of you who are unaware, there are different categories for those who identify with the Nigerian descent:

1) Nigerian-Americans (those 1st generation children born in America with both parents being Nigerian immigrants.

2) African-Americans (those black people who were born in America--yet have lineage or ties to the continent of Africa
It was/is a "politically correct" term....


3). Black or White American/African (any child born in America who has (1) birth parent of America and (1) birth parent of Africa who immigrated to the states.
I would fit in category (3).

I guess Peacelovejoy was in my parents' matrimonial bed when I was conceived?
I identified myself as "Igbo" because I simply am 50 percent. It has "0" to do with tribalism.
You sir, who falsely accused me, want me to be ashamed of my direct descent and hide it.
However, I will not.
I really am appalled at the behavior of some Nigerians and the treatment I have received on this site over a period of years.
Makes me believe that the world renowned reputation that Nigeria has, is well-earned.
However, I know that it is NOT every single Nigerian who behaves in this manner.
I was set up yet again, however I will never as long as God gives me breath, deny who I am. I love the Lord...no matter what may come.
As I was praying this morning, for this my other country Nigeria.....(including Nairaland and my prayer list of folks here in the religion section, you, PeaceLoveJoy, weighed heavily on my mind.
I cried heavily as I thought back to your verbal monstrosity of an attack (unprovoked) on my character, once again was unleashed.
It has been almost 1 year sir....1 year....which you know...you absolutely & definitely know.
I know..."you don't know me"....
That's your story and you are gonna go to your grave with it.
Rest assured that God knows ok?
I am frightened for you cause you are riding such a thin line..
My heart bleeds for you cause you are paralyzed and trapped...
All I can do is continually pray that Jesus has mercy on your soul and that you will choose Him before probation is up for you.
We never know when we will breathe our last breath....
It is your soul that I care about...that's all.
I'm gonna preach Jesus to all...for it is He who gives peace.

You invited me on this thread to start shredding the KJV bible and cease any talk on Catholicism.
I will not shred the KJV.
I have already spoken on the subject matter of the thread.
I wrote from a sincere heart...my mind will not change from that.
You villanized me cause I wouldn't villanize the OP to your satisfaction....although I suggested something to him.
Honestly, I must forgive you..and love you cause right now you are bound tightly.
I will say no more to you.
I know you will be vindictive towards me as is your modus operandi.
However I give you to the Lord sir.
I stand by Isaiah 54:17 (KJV).
You hate me, but I am compelled to pray for and love you.

I can see someone here need to take his drugs, obviously the person is running mental

dumahi:
You are clearly a very big coward and a shallow soul. Boko Haram and herdsmen kill you and rape you and you say nothing about it, only for you to turn against innocent Catholics. Try replacing 'Catholic' with 'Islam' in your title and see what will happen to you. Your stupidity clearly shows from the first line. For you to think that the word 'catholic' has anything to do with 'cat' shows you are everything devilish and dirty. Mind your business you homosexual.

iyambz:
Trinity (1 John 5:7 kjv) "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

>(Deut 6:4) One God

>(John 6:27) God the Father

>(John 20:26-28) God the Son

>(Acts 5:3-4) God the Spirit

All these verses show the trinity. The word trinity is not in the Bible, but that doesn’t mean there is no trinity.

1. Man is a trinity: (1 Thess 5:23 kjv) – “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Man has 3 different parts. This means God has 3 different parts also.

2. Godhead (Acts 17:29; Rom 1:20; Col 2:9 kjv): These verses show that Godhead was mentioned. Godhead means God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

3. Picture of trinity (The Sun):
a. Light ray: Can be seen but cannot be felt. (Jesus Christ).
b. Heat ray: You can feel it, but cannot see it (Holy Spirit).
c. Actinic ray: Can’t be seen nor felt (The Father).

4. God mentioned as plural:
a. (Gen 1:26 kjv) “Let us make man.”
b. (Gen 3:22 kjv) God referred to Himself as “Us.”
c. (Gen 11:6-7 kjv) “Let us go down” (reference to the tower of Babel).
d. (Matt 13:14-15 kjv) Jesus referred to Himself as “Us.”

5. Distinction of Trinity:
The Father, Son, and Spirit are one God, but not the same person. (John 14:28 kjv) – God the Son exalts the Father. (John 16:13-14 kjv) – God the Spirit exalts the Son. This is why you don’t pray to the Holy Spirit, you should pray to the Father and Son only. The Holy Spirit doesn’t brag on himself, He only brags on Jesus (1 John 4:1-3, 10-15; 5:9-13 kjv).

[s]You know, it takes a sincere, humble and Godly person to acknowledge his/her mistakes and offer an apology to people he/she has offended. A Godly person does not pick and choose who to apologize to either when multiple people are involved. [/s]

[s]While I won't say that I know your motives for apologizing to him, I see you gave one to Iyambz only...
Makes me question if I was set-up. [/s]

[s]Although I did not receive an apology at all, I forgive your behavior towards me PeaceLoveJoy.
I did nothing to receive the unleashing of an unbridled furor such as what was done to me on yesterday.
Yes, I could have kept quiet but I choose not to.
Witchcraft is not only rebellion, but also the blood-thirsty, insatiable desire to control a person's thoughts, moves and actions. [/s]
[s]For those of you who are unaware, there are different categories for those who identify with the Nigerian descent: [/s]

[s] 1) Nigerian-Americans (those 1st generation children born in America with both parents being Nigerian immigrants. [/s]

[s] 2) African-Americans (those black people who were born in America--yet have lineage or ties to the continent of Africa
It was/is a "politically correct" term.... [/s]

[s]
3). Black or White American/African (any child born in America who has (1) birth parent of America and (1) birth parent of Africa who immigrated to the states.
I would fit in category (3).
[/s]
[s]I guess Peacelovejoy was in my parents' matrimonial bed when I was conceived?
I identified myself as "Igbo" because I simply am 50 percent. It has "0" to do with tribalism.
You sir, who falsely accused me, want me to be ashamed of my direct descent and hide it.
However, I will not.
I really am appalled at the behavior of some Nigerians and the treatment I have received on this site over a period of years.
Makes me believe that the world renowned reputation that Nigeria has, is well-earned.
However, I know that it is NOT every single Nigerian who behaves in this manner.
I was set up yet again, however I will never as long as God gives me breath, deny who I am. I love the Lord...no matter what may come. [/s[
[s] As I was praying this morning, for this my other country Nigeria.....(including Nairaland and my prayer list of folks here in the religion section, you, PeaceLoveJoy, weighed heavily on my mind.
I cried heavily as I thought back to your verbal monstrosity of an attack (unprovoked) on my character, once again was unleashed.
It has been almost 1 year sir....1 year....which you know...you absolutely & definitely know.
I know..."you don't know me"....
That's your story and you are gonna go to your grave with it.
Rest assured that God knows ok? [/s]
[s]I am frightened for you cause you are riding such a thin line.. [/s]
[s]My heart bleeds for you cause you are paralyzed and trapped... [/s]
[s] All I can do is continually pray that Jesus has mercy on your soul and that you will choose Him before probation is up for you.
We never know when we will breathe our last breath....
It is your soul that I care about...that's all.
I'm gonna preach Jesus to all...for it is He who gives peace. [/s]

[s]You invited me on this thread to start shredding the KJV bible and cease any talk on Catholicism.
I will not shred the KJV.
I have already spoken on the subject matter of the thread.
I wrote from a sincere heart...my mind will not change from that.
You villanized me cause I wouldn't villanize the OP to your satisfaction....although I suggested something to him. [/s]
[s]Honestly, I must forgive you..and love you cause right now you are bound tightly.
I will say no more to you.
I know you will be vindictive towards me as is your modus operandi.
However I give you to the Lord sir.
I stand by Isaiah 54:17 (KJV). [/s]
[s]You hate me, but I am compelled to pray for and love you. [/s]
