Christianity EtcRe: Who Is God Almighty Apart From His Word? by PSTKYLIFELIGHT(op): 2:06pm
Truthseeker10:
PSTKYLIFELIGHT you have been avoiding my question. Please answer.

So according to you, Revelation 3:14 does not teach that Jesus is a creature neither does It teach that Jesus is the creator even though the verse claims that Jesus is "the Beginning of God's creation", Yes or no?
Yes, I will answer directly.

No, Revelation 3:14 does not teach that Jesus is a creature.

And no, Revelation 3:14 by itself is not a standalone statement saying, "Jesus is the Creator" in the sense that the entire doctrine rests on that one verse alone.

What it does teach is that Jesus is "the arche of the creation of God." The dispute is over what "arche" means in that context.

You have assumed that "arche" must mean "the first thing created." But that is the very point that must be proven, not assumed.

If John intended "first creature," there were clearer Greek expressions available to communicate that idea. Instead, he chose "arche," a word that can mean beginning, origin, source, first cause, or ruler depending on context.

Now here is the critical issue:

Whatever meaning you assign to Revelation 3:14 must harmonize with the rest of John's writings.

John 1:3 says:

"All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made."

That leaves only two possibilities:

Either Christ belongs to the category of things that were made, or He does not.

If He belongs to that category, then John 1:3 creates a contradiction because Christ would have had to make Himself.

If He does not belong to that category, then Revelation 3:14 cannot mean He is the first creature.

Therefore, the interpretation of Revelation 3:14 that best fits John's own theology is that Christ is the origin, source, or sovereign beginning of God's creation, not the first item within creation.

Notice also that Revelation was written by the same apostle who recorded:

"In the beginning was the Word."

Not "came into existence."

Not "was created."

But "was."

John deliberately distinguishes between the eternal existence of the Word and the coming into existence of created things.

So the real question is not whether Revelation 3:14 contains the word "arche." Everyone agrees that it does.

The real question is whether your interpretation of "arche" can coexist with John 1:1, John 1:3, Colossians 1:16 to 17, Hebrews 1:2, and the rest of the New Testament witness.

That is where the "first creature" interpretation encounters its greatest difficulty.

A doctrine is not established by isolating one possible meaning of one word. It is established by reading that word in harmony with the entire testimony of Scripture.

SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by NasirIbnLaAhad: 2:05pm
Goke7:
Oga the YouTube page I watched the friendly match had 30k views which tells you how Nigerians will do anything to watch the eagles no matter the conditions we are still one of the largest passionate fans out there
In all honesty, 30k views is pretty tame/unimpressive for a country like Nigeria with our footballing pedigree, population and sporting culture. Although, I personally wouldn't attribute the low YouTube views to a lack of fan interest - that one has more to do with a fragmented official media presence, thanks or no thanks to NFF. That being said, I'd say that interest in Nigerian football has definitely taken a massive nosedive over the recent years, mostly because of our poor World Cup campaign. The last time I can say our national team had serious hype around it in recent memory was during our AFCON 2023 run where we eventually made the finals. But it won't stay down forever. I think we either need an AFCON title or another World Cup appearance, and things will be back to the way they were. Real Nigerian soccer fans don't stay angry at the NT forever.

She may have died naturally in a man's house or a friend but to avoid being thrown into jail without any investigation by the Nigerian police the man just had to leave her corpse where her people will find her.
We all know how the police in imo state kept the boyfriend of that murdered Imo state nurse in jail even after the real murderers have been arrested by the same police in the same imo state angry
Yet they still kept her boyfriend locked up. The girl's parents had to come to social media to appeal to the police to release the innocent boy.

RomanceRe: After A Serious Commitment Should I Let Her Go Or Keep Trying To Get Her by obynokoko: 2:03pm
wfjimmytobby:
There is this calm girl and decent I met about a year and half ago. We met and vibe then start about a week after we met.

She was loving real, not materialistic and very smart, this make me fall more for her..

She was in her final year in school when we meet and she didn’t let her studies affect our relationship. She was always active, infact she was more dedicated and active than me. So I made up my mind that after she is done with school and all I should be able to probably settle down with her.

So fast forward to a month ago, she suddenly changed. She stopped talking to me reply my messages and kept asking her what’s wrong she ain’t giving me any answer despite all my efforts..

Then after that she asked me to leave her alone…though she didn’t block me on her socials and she is not doing any suspicious it really shocking to me. For a girl that craves for my attention all this time and after have already start giving her my 100% she suddenly switch and wants me to leave her alone..

It really surprising and after I thought about everything the only wrong was that I do get mad at her if we had an appointment and she didn’t turn up that’s all..we didn’t even fight or argued much through out the time we were together…now in the situation the question is should I just give up on her and move on or I should give it more time hoping to get answers to what’s wrong…
Bro leave her and move.she has seen another man and you will be wasting your time trying to bring her back

I had watched that clips twice today again, I tell you not even nuer or cortoise can keep out that shot, for a minute I thought the ball was going in a straight line, ahbi na breeze blow am go another direction??,

By then Okoye was already in motion, if it had gone as projected it's an easy catch or a tipping over, buh that swerving ehn hmmm
I calm down to watch that shot also…despite the breeze curly effect of the ball, it was bound for the left side of the net, meaning if Okoye had positioned to a close proximity between himself and the space in between that left side of the net where the ball entered he would have had a brilliant punch…
In 2002 When Paul scholes got his pass from a midfielder he tilted towards the left to pick a spot where he would release a bullet, Enyeama also tilted to closed the space between himself and the left side of the net…thats why he was able to punch that ball from scholes
Okoye was far from that left corner space, he would have adjusted a bit to close the wide gap between himself and the left space of the net when he saw that polish player was tilting towards left to pick a shot spot
