seyibrown:
Jesus did not just die; He DIED and RESURRECTED on the third day! God and his spirit can not die because they are eternal. You very well do know that the man can only kill the body. JESUS died for three days. God did not die, the Holy Spirit did not die. JESUS DID NOT REMAIN IN THE GRAVE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT KILL ANY PART OF GOD.  His death on the cross and being in the grave for three days was to accomplish the work of salvation. When the work was finished, that which is only possible by the Spirit of God happened, THE ONE THAT WAS DEAD CAME BACK TO LIFE! Glory to God! That which man thought was impossible happened. That which the Devil did not expect happened. Jesus not only died and ressurected, he took away the power of death! It was predicted in the Old testament:
Sweetnecta:
Could it have been that a man who called himself a servant, who also spent night and day begging God that he does not want to die, finally got his wish, if he were a prophet,that God answered his prayer,since an Angel (Jibril AS) was sent to support him, so that he did not die after all,but made to look so in the eyes of those who would do him harm? Why would a God be begging another God who sent mere Angel to support this God? I wish you know how the Jews calculate their day; sundown to the next sundown. Calculate three days and three nights forme from Friday evening to Sunday morning?
Seyi, you can do addition. Calculate 3 days, to include three days and three nights, for me, starting from Friday evening befor sunset to sunday morning before sunrise. If you get 3 days of the gregorian calender, calculate it in the jewish lunar calculation of sundown to the following sundown to make a day? A cave is not a grave. A grave is always dug, and dirt is put on the deceased. A cave at best is a dugout, like where the baseball players sit during game, between innings. I wonder why a jewish woman or women will put oil on the body of a dead jew? Lol. I say the servant didn't die. he just got hurt and aching from the serious beating.
ANd today, the Christians die. Just this year, Oral Roberts died. Seyi. May God make you live a long life. Amin. Yet after all my prayer for you, you will die. So what did Jesus really accomplish, except that you live a euphoric life of lies making him a god? The man collapsed. They dragged him off to a cave. They nursed him to health and you claim that he died and came back to live after rendering  death powerless, yet he didn't remain on earth, he was lifted up by God, saving him from those who would do him harm, and christians still die. Now tell me the rational of your claims? What ground are you saying any of these, all of it, I ask you?
Grave Jesus did not go into. No grave dug.No dirt put on him, different condition as Jonah was swallowed by a whale, swimming to the depth of the sea, yet Jonah was alive, supplicating to Allah thus"Laa ilaha anta. Subhannaka, inni kuntum minal dhulimin". If Jesus was a true prophet of Yahweh, his condition would have been exactly as he said "my sign will be like the sign of Jonah", when they asked him for a sign.
[b] Mark 15:25-47 (King James Version)

25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

29And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

40There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto himwink and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

44And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

45And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.



[/b]



Please bear in mind that in reference to an event, the Jews count any part of a day as a whole day e.g. if a funeral starts at the 5th hour of the day, it will be counted as a whole day.

In Vs 33 - 37, at the sixth hour, there was darkness until the ninth hour. Jesus gave up the ghost at the ninth hour. Vs 42 'and now when the even was come . . . . .' Between vs 37 (the sixth to ninth hour darkness (also prophetic paradox of a night) when Jesus died) and Vs 42 (when the evening came) there was a return to daylight.

Friday 6th hour to 9th hour: NIGHT 1 ACCOUNTED FOR.
Friday after the ninth hour and before the even came: DAY 1 ACCOUNTED FOR.

Vs 42 says it was the preparation for the Sabbath, Which starts a little time before sundown on Friday. Sabbath is the Saturday.

Friday, when the even came (preparation for the Sabbath): NIGHT 2 ACCOUNTED FOR
Saturday: DAY 2 ACCOUNTED FOR.

Saturday night : NIGHT 3 ACCOUNTED FOR
Sunday Morning: DAY 3 ACCOUNTED FOR.




'THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS'

Jonah 1:17 (King James Version)

17Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.


Matthew 12:39-41 (King James Version)

39But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.



In respect of the three days and three nights being accounted for, the sign of Jonah was indeed given to us.



[b]It is also clear in Vs 44 that Pilate enquired at to whether Jesus had really died and the centurion confirmed it. After receiving confirmation that Jesus was dead, he then released the body to Joseph of Arimathaea.

Mark 16
1AND WHEN the Sabbath was past [that is, after the sun had set], Mary Magdalene, and Mary [the mother] of James, and Salome purchased sweet-smelling spices, so that they might go and anoint [Jesus' body].

2And very early on the first day of the week they came to the tomb; [by then] the sun had risen.

    3And they said to one another, Who will roll back the stone for us out of [the groove across the floor at] the door of the tomb?

    4And when they looked up, they [distinctly] saw that the stone was already rolled back, for it was very large.

    5And going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting [there] on the right [side], clothed in a [[a]long, stately, sweeping] robe of white, and they were utterly amazed and struck with terror.

    6And he said to them, Do not be amazed and terrified; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

    7But be going; tell the disciples and Peter, He goes before you into Galilee; you will see Him there, [just] as He told you.

    8Then they went out [and] fled from the tomb, for trembling and bewilderment and consternation had seized them. And they said nothing about it to anyone, for they were held by alarm and fear.



It was not unusual for relatives to go to the tomb of a dead person with sweet smelling spices especially if he died just before the sabbath as they cannot hold a funeral ceremony on the sabbath. The spices are meant to mask the smell.

The women did not get the chance to use the spices anyway (whether there intention was to place the spices in the shroud or annoint the body) because he had risen. They were instructed by the angel to go and tell the news. I would say that it was not possible for them to nurse him who had been confirmed dead back to health there and then.[/b]

Christianity EtcRe: Is Marrying More Than One Wife A Sin by seyibrown(f): 2:44pm On Nov 07, 2010
KunleOshob:
@seyibrown
According to the Strong's bible concordance which translates the bible from the original hebrew/greek text adultery is defined as "when a woman breaks wedlock" and not when either of the couples break it. Adultery only happens when a married woman is involved and that is why men of God in the bible could have more than one wife and in some cases even concubines. The truth is that what holds for the woman is not what holds for the man biblical. The man is seen as the owner of the wife and the man could decide to stick to one wife or acquire more.

[b]1 Corinthians 7:4 (King James Version)

4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.


The Woman has the same authority to over what her husband does with his body as the the man has over her. If he requires that she should keep herself from other men; she can require him to keep himself from other women.
Sleeping with another woman apart from your spouse is you committing adultery against her and breaking the covenant of marriage  that you made. The man is supposed to love his wife as Christ loved the church which is to the extent that he laid his lfie down. A man who loves his wife will not consider another woman(concubine or 'new unlawful wife') at all. Adultery is not a woman only sin. It applies to both men and women and stems from uncontentment with what you already have and lust. A man who truly loves his wife will lay his life down rather than betray her(expose her to life-long rivalry and STDs).[/b]
Christianity EtcRe: Is Marrying More Than One Wife A Sin by seyibrown(f): 2:39am On Nov 07, 2010
[b]Some people hide under the 'excuse' of 'the bible does not expressly say it is a sin to marry more than one wife, hence my using hints. They conveniently push 'thou shalt not commit adultery' away. They try to water it down to their 'tastes'. They conveniently forget that you commit adultery against 'your spouse' when you enter another relationship another person besides your spouse (whether you marry the new person or not) while you are still bound to your wife (in accordance with commandments).

If scriptures are too difficult for them to understand, they can take hints. I only tried to explain better with hints; and the answers as quoted were really in the context of an ongoing discourse on the thread referenced to it might help to look at that thread.

Jesus himself said' the one who created them in the beginning made them male and female'. He reffered the disciples back to the original and straightforward plan. I was doing similar by pointing to the fact that it was Adam + Eve and not Adam + Jane + Ifeoma + Labake + Kudirat.

It is expressly commanded in Malachi not to deal treacherously with the wife of one's youth:


Malachi 2:14-16 (Amplified Bible)

14Yet you ask, Why does He reject it? Because the Lord was witness [to the covenant made at your marriage] between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously and to whom you were faithless. Yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant [made by your marriage vows].
15And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth.
16For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment [his wife] with violence. Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit [that it may be controlled by My Spirit], that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly [with your marriage mate].


Committing adultery against the wife of your youth is dealing treacherously with her. A Yoruba adage says: Orisa je n pe meji Obirin o si! No woman wants to share her husband with any other. [/b]
Christianity EtcRe: Seyibrown And Nopuqeater Try To Explain! by seyibrown(op): 2:16am On Nov 07, 2010
Before Abraham, we had Adam. You must agree. God made Adam and Eve, mates, husband and wife. Even you mentioned in the Bible that it was filthy thing that Noah;s daughters had sex with their father, forgetting that other people entered the ship with Noah.
Seyibrown
There is nowhere in the Bible where it is written that Noah's daughters had sex with him
You are correct. So I read Genesis 9: 20to 27 which is about sex on him by his son or grandson. This is a worse case.
Genesis 9 verses 20 to 27, his son and or his grandson Canaan slept with him. He cursed Canaan. Why? Now I support my proposal with Leviticus 18 verse 6 to 18, and Leviticus 20 verse 17,to proof what seeing the unclothed of a person means. How about Lotand his daughters? Read Genesis 19 verses30 to 35, and you will now know that your non verbal Ghost can hear and speak to people, but only human servants, Messengers and Prophets hear God's Words and repeat them, exactly to the people.
[b] It is disgraceful that you read 9: 20 -27 and concluded that Noah’s son slept with him when verses 22 and 23 clearly explained what happened.


Genesis 9:20-27 (Amplified Bible)
20And Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
    21And he drank of the wine and became drunk, and he was uncovered and lay naked in his tent.
    22And Ham, the father of Canaan, glanced at and saw the unclothedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
    23So Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon the shoulders of both, and went backward and covered the unclothedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they did not see their father's unclothedness.
    24When Noah awoke from his wine, and knew the thing which his youngest son had done to him,
    25He exclaimed, Cursed be Canaan! He shall be the servant of servants to his brethren!
    26He also said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem! And blessed by the Lord my God be Shem! And let Canaan be his servant.
    27May God enlarge Japheth; and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant
.

It should seriously concern you that you read but do not understand at all, even where things are written in plain language. It should also more seriously concern you that you keep refusing to connect with the Spirit of God that gives understanding.

Canaan was a curious mischievous boy who lacked understanding and thought it was fun to look at his father's unclothedness and instead of covering his father up went to call others to come and have a look.

I say again ‘ Do not be afraid to ask God Almighty for the Spirit of Wisdom and understanding’ so that you can understand whatever is written in plain language and even deeper things.

Quoted from: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-504821.0.html



Hint 1: Adam + Eve; not Adam + Eve + Margaret + Jane

Hint 2: Genesis 2 vs 24 'Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Note that it does not say 'wives' here; it says 'wife'.

Hint 3: Jesus clarifies in Matthew 19 vs 9 'And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.'

I will infer from this scripture that marrying/joining yourself to/ having intimate relations with 'another' besides your 'wife' is adultery.

Lastly, ask yourself this question. What is your motive for marrying a second wife, bearing in mind that God looks at the heart?

Is it because you are lusting after that new woman? Sinful.
Is it because you are bored with your wife (putting her away, would like to try some 'Pounded yam' because you've been having 'Jollof Rice' all these years)? Sinful - Only death is supposed to do you apart, not her 'no longer firm bosoms', your lust for some or plenty of 'Pounded yam' or her ageing.
Is it because you just want to escape from the Covenant of marriage? Sinful - God hates Divorce (It is a form of covenant breaking).

I hope this helps!







Please answer these two questions with as many answers as you can possibly give:

Does a man marry a second wife out of 'love' for his wife?
What are the possible motives for marrying a second woman that do not go against the principles of true love, commitment and faithfulness? I can think of lack of contentment, lust, and sexual incontinence. These certainly go against those principles! Please I'd like your answers so I can look at where you are coming from.

MOTIVE, MOTIVE, MOTIVE!

When you become one with your wife, and then go on to join another person, you cannot become 'one' with the new person because you have already been 'merged into one' with your 'wife'.  Jesus said 'not all can accept this saying' when he explained adultery and divorce. If you still don't get it; If your partner is unfaithful to you (adultery), you can leave them on that basis; Marrying the 'other woman' does not rule it out as adultery against your 'wife'. You are committing adultery against your spouse if you have another 'besides him/her'.

The relationship between a man and 'his wife' is supposed to be like that of Christ and 'his bride' - the Church. The Lord Jesus is faithful to us. Men are commanded to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Jesus has just one bride; a man should have just one wife! God hates unfaithfulness. Unfaithfulness breaks the heart of your spouse - whether male or female!

Lastly, don't take my understanding of this matter for it; ask the Holy Spirit to explain to you, after all he is the one who convicts us of sin. He will surely guide us in the right path!

Zechariah 8:20-23 (New Living Translation)

20 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: People from nations and cities around the world will travel to Jerusalem. 21 The people of one city will say to the people of another, ‘Come with us to Jerusalem to ask the Lord to bless us. Let’s worship the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I’m determined to go.’ 22 Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord of Heaven’s Armies and to ask for his blessing.

Didn't your Jehovah witness friends answer these questions (quoting your admission on our thread)years ago? Or you never read the answers in the Bible? I also answered most of your questions on our thread. What is the real purpose of asking when you will not accept answers given to you. Why not ask the Holy Spirit to explain to you? Could it be because you are still holding on to the very things that led you to fall away from Christ in the first place? Why don't you get rid of those things and let the Holy Spirit explain things to you?

And after all of that, Jesus himself declared "Of my own power, I can do nothing, . . . ." Why this, if the above is correct? Why the above if the immediate above line is correct? I tell you, Seyibrown, to believe in Jesus and rely on him in that verse, means the same as in every case of every prophet (AS) when they talk to their audience. If the children of israel did not rely and believed in Moses when he was fighting Pharaoh, they will still be there as slaves today. They would never have exited as they did, victoriously in the Exodus. I will just let you chew on this and them if you wish read the Quran. In the Quran, you will find verses from God Almighty the irresistible telling believers to "rely and trust (Follow, Obey, Answer Muhammad when he calls you to what will give you LIFE [Spiritual Life]).
Could it have been that a man who called himself a servant, who also spent night and day begging God that he does not want to die, finally got his wish, if he were a prophet,that God answered his prayer,since an Angel (Jibril AS) was sent to support him, so that he did not die after all,but made to look so in the eyes of those who would do him harm? Why would a God be begging another God who sent mere Angel to support this God? I wish you know how the Jews calculate their day; sundown to the next sundown. Calculate three days and three nights forme from Friday evening to Sunday morning?
A part of God was begging another part of God, before the part begged sent His angel to support the part which was begging? Who is the Angel of jesus, snce we know the Angels of God include Gabriel,Michael,and uncountable pool of angels? If your child were to come from school with this type of story to you, that some friend in boarding school went to upper class man, who make him cut the grass behind the dorm. Before that, he had boasted that he was equal to the upper class man who now made to eat his words by sending him in the hot june midday heat to the field. If your child was in the first form, will you not tell him that the sign that the boy who was sent to cut the grass being not equal to the one who sent him to do it, are many and not limited to just not being in the same classroom. But it includes the fact that he will never be able to make the one who sent him to cut the grass do the same. The authority over the one subordinate is one directional. Yet this example is only a similitude, but inferior to God's Absolute Authority over Jesus, His servant whom He sent to the Jews, for the last time from among them, before turning to the other branch of the family tree of Ibrahim (AS), to choose the last Messenger and Prophet for the whole world, for the very first time.
You didn't. If you thought you did, it was only in your mind and the singular issue, if nothing else that betrays the lie of Godship of Jesus came from the mouth of Jesus himself " I am a servant sent". Seyi, you cant beat that. I will ignore his many prayers, his crying,weeping to the point that his disciples noted it (we muslims weep at night in prayers, too, when you supplicate the Almighty in darkness, standing up,bowing and prostrating yourself), that he was in difficulty and seeking the Aid of the One Whose Help should be sort. Muhammad (AS) went to heaven and beyond and came back in a part of a single night. Yet he is only a messenger, a human messenger to all. God never sent a celestarl being like Angel to mankind, but man the same kind as mankind, his audience are always the ones sent.
You ignoring the verse of "I'm powerless", says Jesus, will not make it go away. You are stuck with it in your Bible. It kills the idea of Jesus as anything but a messenger at best which the Jew denied him.
And jesus forgot to tell you and yet you can find authority in him? You fall for everything because you are standing on nothing, just like of ,my own power, I can do nothing.
He was not arrogant like the one who had said when you see me you have seen God, when he knew he was a messenger sent. I do believe that that statement of God and me are exactly alive was thrown on him, because there is no one who was given revelation a message to deliver will ever say I am God, the Sender.
It is therefore prudent when Muslims see hadith to analyze it so that it is calibrated as authentic, if it agrees with Quran, most importantly, and when it disagrees with Quran, you doknow that it is incorrect. This is similar to and it is exactly with how we, the muslims analyze your Biblical verses; One talking about One God, Jesus His servant sent, who must depend on that God because he is "Powerless", while on the other the talk is "Jesus is God himself, the master, most powerful and does everything". The question will be that we go back to Taurah and Sabur to support the part that God is One, Complete in all respects, without a need for anything, having human servants, created without mother or father, with father and mother, so it is not surprising that He created a servant with only mother because He is Capable and no one can challenge Him because He has All The Power[s]. We then relate this to what He says about Himself in the Quran, to know that it is true and the part in the New Testament talking about Jesus as anything other that servant is false.
The only verse it is deemed possible by normal mind that "said by Jesus himself", is applicable is the one that I provide, where "MY" is the indicator of the speaker, while all that you provide, is without doubt at best "statement[s]" of third person[s], about a wish list on Jesus, because of the "he, him, etc" used. Read them again. Then write two stories with one indicating My and the other He, His, etc and ask knowledgeable people to assess the person who is writing relative to the person who the writer is talking about. You will find out that everyone will agree that the "My" is talking about himself, while the "He,his, etc" is talking about a third person. The Only ENTITY that can say HE, HIM, HIS, US, WE for Himself of just My, Me, etc is God Almighty and jesus knocked himself out of you possibly using this to make him "God" by his many statements, including the "My"above along with "I am a servant sent by God" and others.
[b]Jesus' coming in human form was to enable us to see how man should live before God. He had a human side. The Spirit of God rested upon him. He fasted, he cried, he sweated, he prayed, he showed compassion for an example for us to follow.

John 16:33 (King James Version)
33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


Any kind of pain you can think of, he went through for our sakes. Yes, he had to show us that we can hold on to the end with the Spirit of God in us. We can accomplish that which we is God’s will by believing, obeying, trusting and holding on to the end no matter the tribulations we face. He was powerless but still held on, so that when we feel powerless we would hold on and call out to the father who is powerful. Jesus did nothing of his power on earth but by God’s Spirit. He was an example to us that we can do all things by God’s Spirit. Paul confirms that here:

Philippians 4:13 (King James Version)
13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.



In the light of Jesus as ‘the son’, yes, he spoke of the father, prayed to the father, begged the father, glorified the father as an example for all children of God. He showed us that we can have a relationship with the father who loves us so much.
God came down to us in the flesh in the form of ‘JESUS the son’. He loves us that much. If your son keeps getting his subtraction and addition wrong, will you not sit with him and show him how to use ‘counters’ to help arrive at correct answers to his maths homework? God did not think us too beneath him, after all he created us; he loves us so much he came to us in the form of Jesus the son and he proved his love by the death on the cross for our salvation. His message was that I love you so much that I would give ANYTHING for you.


Isaiah 63:4-6 (New Living Translation)

4 For the time has come for me to avenge my people,
      to ransom them from their oppressors.
5 I was amazed to see that no one intervened
      to help the oppressed.
   So I myself stepped in to save them with my strong arm,
      and my wrath sustained me.
6 I crushed the nations in my anger
      and made them stagger and fall to the ground,
      spilling their blood upon the earth.” 



I explained somewhere on the Rhino3.dm thread that whatever your arm does can be attributed to you. For example, if your arm picks a phone off the shelves of John Lewis and your legs walk out the door without your hand having paid for it at the till, when the security men catch up with you, You will make the news if you try to explain that what your hand and your legs did had nothing to do with you. TRY IT!


God’s arm brought us salvation; God brought us salvation. God’s arm ransomed us; God ransomed us. The embodiment of that salvation and that ransom was JESUS CHRIST. It is this same embodiment that will come back to rule the earth and reign all over us because God has given all power into his hands. Jesus Christ is that part of God that we will see!


Jesus is the arm of God; Jesus is part of God; Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God (part of God, isn’t your spirit part of you?). The Holy Spirit is God. Jesus is in God; the Holy Spirit is in God. God has manifested himself to us in the ways that we need to know him; as the son, our saviour and redeemer; as the Holy Spirit, our guide, comforter, intercessor, teacher, corrector, reminder etc; and God the Father, the almighty in whom all things are complete.

[b]I will try to summarize Jesus teachings in a nutshell (bigger really  grin)


John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

25These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

31But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.


[/b]

[b] In the John 14 (previous post), Jesus said he is the way, the truth and the life! Nobody man will gain access to/ see the father without him. You need to believe, accept and obey Jesus’ commandments (relayed through him by God) if you ever want to come into God’s presence. If you want the God’s spirit to dwell in you while you are here on earth, Christ is the door through which you will access him.

Jesus said he was going to the father, to prepare a place, and will come back. He is coming back to take those who endure till the very end.


It is God’s Spirit that Jesus refers to in John 14:16 (the comforter). The comforter (teacher, guide, counsellor, comforter, intercessor, advocate) can live in you while you are hear on earth. It is with him that you will fulfil God’s will and purpose on earth. It is with God’s Spirit (The Holy Spirit) that you will do even greater things than Jesus did. If you ask anything (that is in accord to God’s will) in Jesus name, it will be done.

God’s Spirit (John 14:17) is the ‘Spirit of Truth’ that the world does not want. The world cannot accept him or recognize him because they are not tuned to the things of God, they are tuned to the things of the world. They love the lies, darkness, and temporary pleasures of the world. The world will not accept ‘the light’ (John 14:6) because darkness and light have nothing in common. You can tell from what is happening all around us that the world hates ‘the light – Jesus’ because the world prefers ‘darkness’; the world will accept anything else but ‘light (Jesus). The world is very happy with you as long as you do not love Jesus ‘the light’. The world will pander to every faith as long as it doesn’t have ‘Christ’. If it has ‘Christ the light’, the world will oppose it, because the world is ruled by the ‘Spirit of the Anti-Christ’ (John 14: 30-31). The world is the more reason why we need the Holy Spirit in us. If we do not let the Holy Spirit take control of our lives, the ‘Spirit of the Anti-Christ’ will take control. ‘The Spirit of the Anti-Christ’ is not difficult to recognise; It speaks against anything that has to do with Jesus Christ, It hates Jesus Christ; It is everywhere. Christ says about any troubles we encounter in the world:

John 16:33 (King James Version)
33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


Apostle Paul says in Romans:

Romans 8:37 (New Living Translation)
37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.


The 'Spirit of the Anti-Christ' is wasting his time fighting a battle which he has already been vanquished because we are victorious in Christ.

[/b]


Cutting the long story short, Believe Jesus words (don't worry about whether it was narrated by Paul or Matthew); Accept Jesus because salvation is only available through the covenant made in his blood (his death on the cross); Let the Holy Spirit take control of your life so that you will be able to live a life pleasing to God.

Any message that claims to lead you to God but excludes Christ originates from the 'Spirit of the Anti-Christ'.
Christianity EtcRe: Seyibrown And Nopuqeater Try To Explain! by seyibrown(op): 4:29pm On Nov 05, 2010
You are a yoruba woman, and we have a proverb about stubbornness. They say "Pami nku soribenbe soko". I asked you to give me the essence of the message if you insist that its from God. Neither you have given evidence of. Acts of Apostles couldnt have been written by God, or revealed by God. Note that for your future references to the authenticity of the Bible as word of God.
What is that message of God, from Hsis word, even though we see "Gospel according to Luke", unless Luke is God in this case?
If you are now saying that the ghost's name is exactly that of the Father,then I wonder why there is Trinity or why the son has a different name; Jesus? maybe both are lies by the Bible Authors? Remember that "Gospel According to Luke" can be construed as coming from God, except if Luke its Author was playing God, then? Lol. Seyi o. Then you will have Ester playing God. So will John. So will Writer of Corinthians! How many books in the Bible? You will have the author of each book playing God. Thats a big and gigantic serious issue.
WHich Gospel is this; John, Luke, Mark, Matthew or Paul's the writer of Corinthians?
There is no Gospel of Christ.And Image of God in what sense;Look, act,what? Jesus didn't know everything. Infat he was powerless, according to him. Is this because God was grieved in making man that Jesus is His image, and knew not the future and or God has Jewish look and human characteristics? Seyi, someday, you will finally get it. I know for a fact Allah is not your god, and and all that you said of trinity and God or god that you worship. Above them is my Creator Whohas no equal.
Lol. You are so funny.The bold is classic. Now, jesus didnt promise the communication without recording it in the book first, since the authority who saw and knew him, the disciples took the pain to record what he said, in the "Gospel according to. . . . "?  You are talking without evidence here.
If rotten bone of Elisha can do it, why do you doubt Moses? You just dont know because the Bible didnt say it; an incomplete book will provide incomplete guidance.
You ignoring the verse of "I'm powerless", says Jesus, will not make it go away. You are stuck with it in your Bible. It kills the idea of Jesus as anything but a messenger at best which the Jew denied him.
And Genesis recorded something completely different. WHich one is wrong, while the other is wrong? A God's word, indeed, doing a 180 degree, all the way.
Contraction; Genesis!
And your relationship with Him then must be what he laid down, correctly.  Christianity is not it. Go to the Quran, before it is to late.
The message of the word of Aletheia will not be exactly like the word. Or are you saying that the Message which you call the Whole Bible is exactly the Word of God, message of the world and the word are exactly completely congruent? Then you have to tell me and everyone, the mindless part of the word and its mirror (message) have the Once upon a time parts, of "he said", "he went", etc and finally the works of the disciples in the "Acts", and opinions and ideas and instructions of people like Paul and others in the Books after Acts, are also words and messages of God. Please explain yourself.
I see a set up of "Once upon a time" phrase that usually begins "storytelling". But is the storyteller Luke, or somebody else, since it is "According to Luke" that we are dealing with here? I want you to sharpen your mind, so that you will learn something here. You may never change. But the truth is being told to you. Did Luke write to most excellent Theophillus? There is no proof he did and the passage above indicates some other person wrote at best, a listener to Luke, and at worse, who knows if it was a 10 generation hearsay

But this is a Gospel. If there is a test for the Text of word of God in the Bible,it should be the Gospel that must be foremost. You say jesus is God. You say God is speaking in the Bible. In fact, you say that the whole Bible is word of God. Not even word of any servant. SO now we look and find verse 3 above, and I will try to ignore all the others. But verse 3 I just cant. When we analyze it, we realize that if God was writing, it is peculiar that he will use "It seems good to me" as if it is now a discovery. This does not befit the All Knower, just as having a son or a consort does not befit Him of His Independence over all.

Please note that the write says to Theophillus that he has perfect understanding of all things from the very first, nullifies Jesus as the writer, since Jesus had no perfect understanding (knowledge) of the last hour. To write to the in order most excellent Theophillus, should not be the way God will write, or Jesus his servant, leader among his community, commanding them, as his God permits, and later was lifted off the earth and according to the christians idea of elevating him,"he did not write anything down", could not be the meek writer, writing to Most Excellent Theophillus.
[b]The books of the Bible that you say are titled 'Gospel according to Luke' (example) do refer to 'The Gospel of Jesus Christ according to . . . . . (Insert Luke, John, Matthew). These gospels describe the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. During Jesus' lifetime, he taught the people (not just the 12 disciples and the other disciples/followers). He also healed the sick, raised the dead, and performed many miracles like the people had never seen before. The teachings of Jesus are therefore part of the ‘gospel’ (life, death and resurrection) of Jesus. When Matthew narrates it, It will be narrated as 'The gospel (of Jesus Christ) according to Matthew. More plainly, if Aletheia brings a message from God and teaches Sweetnecta, when Sweetnecta wants to relay the life of Aletheia (which will include the ‘message of God’ as taught Sweetnecta by Aletheia) to others, it will be ‘the gospel (life, teaching) of Aletheia according to Sweetnecta’, regardless of whether he was dictating it to his secretary who types it out later, I hope that clears up how the various (same but different earthly authors) gospels contain’ the message/word of God’ as taught by Jesus. I have also explained in previous posts that some books in the bible are records of the past and revelations of the future. They were all written by direction/inspiration of the Holy Spirit who is the ‘Spirit of God that knows the mind of God’.

Jesus taught the 'message from God'. He says here:

John 14:10
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.


Those books of the Bible that have names like Corinthians, Ephesians, Phillipians etc are letters writen to a certain set of people of people for encouragement, reproval, guidance and clarification. They were written to Christians(many of them new converts at the time).

Christianity EtcRe: Seyibrown And Nopuqeater Try To Explain! by seyibrown(op): 4:28pm On Nov 05, 2010
I have asked you, many times to give me the proper name of the Holy Spirit, you and others, none of you have been able to. Maybe there is no Holy Spirit, like in the matter of there is a Jesus and A Yahweh. Maybe you people use Angel Gabriel, the errant runner as Holy Spirit? Am certain thats the one you call holy spirit, considering he was the one that appeared to Mary and she got pregnant after it. Maybe Aletheia can chime in on this matter. I need a proper name. Omo yoruba ni yin. Ko si nkonkon tio loruko, afi holy ghost yin nikon!
While your religion shows no mercy because Holy Spirit which you can provide a proper name of is disregarded, Islam is the only religion that all signs are forgiven, including association with Allah, the moment you stop! Your destination is in your hand. Its ironic that the Master Who can send the Holy Spirit on an errant [as He did send him, in your claim that the Holy Spirit is the another Comforter, hearing from God all that he must repeat (Though no one heard him speak), to the ignorants who he must remind, teach, show things none of which they were on the right course on, or knew before, and glorify Jesus], can be insulted, according to you. So is Jesus, according to you. Why not the same application to both of them, or why is Yahweh defending Holy Ghost, but not Himself, or Jesus? Do you have any suggestion, or it is just the blind faith again that we must accept, suckered in big time, as usual?
What is the truth here? Are you saying that the name of the holy ghost is Yahweh, Jehovah, Adonia, Elohim, Eloi, Jesus? Or what are you saying, since my given names are what my spirit is also know by. Alhamdulillah. My spirit is a muslim. In the book of Angels and Jinn (both specie do not have physical form that can be seen ordinarily. And we have Angels with us 24 hours a day, round the clock, recording our deeds, the moment that we are "Balaq" adults from the age of puberty), we see that the Jinn can actually fool the gullible who goes to the "Future Teller" to seek help, reach the dead.

If you are now saying that the ghost's name is exactly that of the Father,then I wonder why there is Trinity or why the son has a different name; Jesus? maybe both are lies by the Bible Authors? Remember that "Gospel According to Luke" can be construed as coming from God, except if Luke its Author was playing God, then? Lol. Seyi o. Then you will have Ester playing God. So will John. So will Writer of Corinthians! How many books in the Bible? You will have the author of each book playing God. Thats a big and gigantic serious issue.
Caution; If you duck the question, InshaAllah, obver a billion people will read this before I die.I ask Allah to make many of them Muslims because of your failure to defend your holy ghost and correctly identify the spirit, man who God sent after Jesus. Amin. Rabbana Takabbal minal Dua. Amin.
You are able to give me a name "jesus", the ghost that is so protected so much has no name! Seyi. Oje rora pelu iro nla nla yi. A part of God was begging another part of God, before the part begged sent His angel to support the part which was begging? Who is the Angel of jesus, snce we know the Angels of God include Gabriel,Michael,and uncountable pool of angels? If your child were to come from school with this type of story to you, that some friend in boarding school went to upper class man, who make him cut the grass behind the dorm. Before that, he had boasted that he was equal to the upper class man who now made to eat his words by sending him in the hot june midday heat to the field. If your child was in the first form, will you not tell him that the sign that the boy who was sent to cut the grass being not equal to the one who sent him to do it, are many and not limited to just not being in the same classroom. But it includes the fact that he will never be able to make the one who sent him to cut the grass do the same.
While Allah is the ONLY Bearer, your gods are three. Is the life of a servant with three masters he has to serve at the same time as comfortable (here comes the Comforter making it easy), as the servant that has a Master Who he is accessable to without installing a medium?
I only hope that before you night in this life that you see that there is no strength in three gods, sharing a single throne.
You are not listening to Jesus then. If you do, you could easily tell me what the Another Comforter led the disciple to, and from, what new things he taught, etc. The Another Comforter was supposed to deal only with the disciple and you are not one. Or did you live back then and stillremain alive? If this is the case, you are better than Jesus. Why are you not claiming god, too?
Throughout you posts, I can see that you have a problem understanding how God Almighty can manifest himself in a human form (Jesus Christ) and manifest his Spirit (The Holy Spirit/ holy Ghost) to us.
The Holy Spirit is not a modern invention. He is not a fabrication or a misconception. The Holy Spirit featured so many times throughout the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit came upon many people and manifested through them e.g. Samuel, Eli, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, Elisha, Deborah, Joel and David, just to mention a few. The Spirit of God spoke to the people through certain chosen ones and manifested himself to the general from time to time or whenever they came to enquire certain things of God. Examples:


Isaiah 61: 1
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Ezekiel 36:26 -27 
26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.


[b]The Holy Spirit – The Spirit of God is not an invention of the New Testament or Christians. The promise of the Spirit of God living in the hearts of men – those who accept Christ – is not an invention of Christians, since Ezekiel as quoted above was written way before Christ was born.

Answering again your severally repeated question of what name the Spirit of God is called: The Spirit of God does not have a name different from God. You managed to arrive at the conclusion that your ‘spirit’ bears the same name as yourself but you – very disappointedly – could not apply the same logic to your question. Your Spirit is part of you; God’s Spirit (The Holy Spirit) is part of God.

You also say that you do not understand what things the comforter is supposed to remind Jesus followers. Jesus said to his disciples that there was many things that he did not have time to tell them at the time – his ministry was for 3 years – and it was therefore necessary that they had someone who would teach, remind, explain, correct, comfort and support them, so that they would not be left alone like sheep without a shepherd. [/b]

1 Corinthians 2:11
[b] 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

There is no better one to do it than the Holy Spirit; Jesus was teaching them the things of God. He said he what he told them was not of himself but what he heard from the Father (God). Who better tell them the things of God than the Spirit of God? It is the spirit of man that knows what is really inside a man, and it is the Spirit of God that knows the things of God, therefore, the Spirit of God is the best one to relay the things of God. The Spirit of God does not need to read the mind of God from a book in order to teach God’s children. He already knows the heart of God. When the Spirit of God lives in the heart of a man, he will remind man of the things he read in the Bible. He will teach man how to live a life pleasing before God; he will explain; he will comfort; he will guide.

Angels are spirit beings but we do not confuse them with the spirit of God. We do not pray to Angels, we ask of God to do things by his Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.

When I talked about the sin against the Holy Spirit, I explained it had to with the rejection of the Spirit of God ‘till death’. There is no forgiveness in the grave. Your point about Islam forgiving your sins the moment you stop here does not make any sense to me because dead men no longer sin. It is clear from my earlier explanation and brief summary above that the sin against the Holy Spirit is cannot be forgiven when you are ‘dead’ because dead men do not ask for forgiveness. Jehovah is merciful to you throughout your life; he is always waiting for you to turn from your sins. [/b]

Ezekiel 18:21-32 (King James Version)
[b] 21But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
23Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
24But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25Yet ye say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. [/b]


Jehovah is one; but he manifests himself in many ways to us. The manifestation of his Holy Spirit is important because we need him in this life after we accept the manifestation of his love and salvation through Jesus Christ. Jesus did not have just 12 disciples, he had more. The twelve disciples were only at the head of the others. Jesus’ teachings apply to anyone who believes in him, therefore it is a great advantage to have the Spirit of God himself to teach and explain to us those things we did not have the opportunity of hearing directly from Jesus Christ. He is the Spirit of Wisdom, knowledge, understanding.

Isaiah 11:2 
2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
You clearly lack wisdom, knowledge and understanding, Sweetnecta, but there is hope:

James 1:5 (Amplified Bible)
5If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of [a]the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.


Ask God almighty to give you wisdom knowledge and understanding so that when you come on Nairaland to talk about God, you are speaking the truth, not running around in circles or turning obvious truth on its head; pretending you don’t understand what is clear, and not a load of nonsense.

FamilyRe: My Wife Is A Lousy Cook by seyibrown(f): 7:15pm On Nov 03, 2010
Set aside the Saturdays or Sundays (or both) for your own brand of 'ROMANTIC COOKING CLASS'. Buy a second apron if there's only one in the house. Buy a cookbook. Watch cookery programmes together (there used to be a 'maggi' cookery programme on NTA back then, and one where celebrities cook - Baba Suwe featured on it once). Teach her like you are teaching your GF! Do it with love. Show her how to do it. She'll learn and even improve on what you've taught her. Don't be to proud to 'practice the good cooking you preach' and it's often best to teach by example. She needs to know that you are behind her all the way of her progress.

FamilyRe: C-section Versus Natural Childbirth by seyibrown(f): 2:43pm On Nov 02, 2010
[b]I had an emergency C-Sec. It wasn't planned at all as I was very fine throughout the pregnancy - actually worked till the day I went into Labour - no complications throughout. I had the luxury of lying in the bath during last 3 hours of labour grin and was being nudged to stay awake - the water was very soothing and calming. Plenty of 'Entonox' (gas) eased a lot of the pain. After 48 hours in hospital (not labouring all that time), I wasn't dilated enough and baby was getting weak. All I remember after that was being told there was going to be a CS, given papers to sign and being wheeled away. Funny thing was I woke up later a bit dizzy, and nurse comes in to say congratulations. I asked the nurse what baby? wondering what she was talking about - cos my tummy was still big - only to find out he had been in a cot beside my bed asleep. Don't remember anything about the operation itself. I give God all the glory! I had to go watch a C-Sec procedure to see what exactly I went through and it was very scary having someone cut into so many layers of you to get a baby out. Thank God for his grace.

Went back to work after 4 weeks. It's taken some 4 years to get my tummy back to it's pregnancy look - would have happened earlier if I had set my mind to get it back. My scar is about 5 inches and below the bikini line.

I know that not all NBs require an episiotomy (although that little cut is a lot safer than the CS cut) but I will ask for epidural or plenty of gas IF I will be having any more babies (at all) by NB.[/b]

sweetnecta:
I guess when Satan was playing with jesus, taking him on the cliff, passing a loaf of bread in from of hungry jessu, etc, Satan was not acting on anyone, say in another town? Or indeed around the world? How was Satan able to cajole jesus and managed to deal with less important people at the same time? Think about it. The joke is on you. Rather, christianity and Trinity.
[b]
The joke is rather on you who goes on hajj to stone satan when what you are going to look for in 'sokoto' is in your 'sokoto'. Satan is present in Nigeria(and everywhere), you do not have to go to hajj to stone him. Come to think of it, he should have been dead by now with the amounts of stoning he has received.

Is Satan not a spirit? Spirits do not have the same physical limitations of man. Wake up and smell the coffee. The Bible clearly tells us about the weapons we use to fight satan and his followers:

2 Corinthians 10:4 (King James Version)
4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holdswink


2 Corinthians 10:4 (New Living Translation)
4 [a]We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (New International Reader's Version)
4 The weapons I fight with are not the weapons the world uses. In fact, it is just the opposite. My weapons have the power of God to destroy the camps of the enemy.


[/b]
Satan works in the spirit which then manifests in the flesh (where applicable), hence the need for any counteractions to be in the spirit, which is done through prayer by the power of God, by the authority we have in the name of Jesus. Stones thrown by human hands do not work against satan, sir.

And Jesus said he came to fulfill all of Moses's things. I wonder what Jesus did with the warss? Ah. he bought swords to prosecute his own, except the enemies were many and bold.
Any accounts of earthly wars started by Jesus during his 33 years?

Give names and proofs. I read hadith and Quran. Muhammad (AS) said, in his family tree, from Adam to himself, there was no fornication or adultery. A man who was a virgin at 25 should not be taken as sexual deviant. How many men in their mid 20s that are virgins? If I am capable of no illegal sex, I wonder how my leader will be incapable? I do not do phone intimacy, video sex. And its common in this USA. And most of the women lobbying for it are christians. Good moral quality from daughters of God running after a slave like me, who is refusing them.
Please allow me to come back to this paragraph with scriptural proof that he had sex with women (and encouraged his counterparts/followers to do the same) captured on raids.

Have you been fantasizing about any 6 or 9 year olds? Have you asked for the hand of any 6 year old in marriage yet? Will you marry your 6 year old daughter off to a 45 yr old man? Will you allow a 30 year old man to marry and have carnal knowledge of your 9 year old daughter?
sweetnecta:
I love women passionately. So I restrict my sexual interest to my wife. Now, tell me if a woman born in 1990 6 or 9 in 2009? talk to me about the birth of Aisha, relative to her father's accepting islam which brought the divorce of her parents because her mother refused to enter islam?
My question was very simple: Have you been fantasizing about any 6 or 9 year olds? Will you allow a 30 year old man to have carnal knowledge of your 9 year old daughter? Given your partial answer, who is lying about the written account of the paedophilia? You, Aisha, or the Quran (and or hadith)?

Abu Bakr (RA) the father of Aisha (RA), was the first grown man to accept islam. He accepted it the very first year of revelation. Aisha's mother refused to enter islam with the whole family, so the parents were divorced. This left Aisha with her father. She must have been independent at that time, because she didnt need mom for any support. She was engaged to be married before the beginning of islam. But Islam started, and her father wanted to migrate to Ethiopia because the uslims were being oppressed, he wanted the family of the future husband to take their future wife from his hand.

They refused and because of his conversion, they called the who thing off. Fortunately, a man in makka said he will support and proptect Abu Bakr. Well, islam lasted 13 years in makka, before migration to madina. Now tell me how is Aisha 9 in the second year of Migration, when she was alive 15 years of Islam plus the years she was alibve before revelation? How is a woman engaged before marries a differen person much much later and you say she is 9, when she shouls be at least 17 to 21?
I did ask that you support your answer with scriptures. What account does Aisha herself give of when sexual relations started between her and Mohammed? Any scriptures that support your claims that Aisha was older than what she herself claimed in her account? I would think these scriptures are available online, why don't you just quote them in support of your claims? If you can show me those scriptures, I will admit that I have been wrong in concluding that Mohammed was a paedophile and I will add notes to my previous posts to show that my views are now different. I will have to start seeing Mohammed in a different light. You just disprove Aisha's account.

Please, read the following scriptures to see what Jesus answered to the question of whether he was the King of the Jews.

John 18:33-37

33 Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

34 Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?”

35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?”

36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.”

Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?”

37Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
You will agree that each time they ask Jesus, if he was sure or had an asnwer, he spoke directly to the question. I wonder why he is wobbly here? maybe he did not have an answer? I suspect he was not a king, since in his 33 years on earth, they called him a king, but he never mounted a throne. If he were, where is the throne? Even in heaven, from the Bible, there is One Throne and that belongs to Yahweh. He was not a king on earth,and not in heaven, either. I remember that the satan was telling him that he was given the whole of the world. jesus response was similar as the above. He was undecided.
Your usual habit of turning truth that stares you in the face on it's head. The Scripture clearly shows what Jesus answered to the question. He said his Kingdom was not of this world. Kings rule over kingdoms.

I wonder what the use of Swords and the Bags that they purchase? You need to explain why sell all your cloths to buy ammonition, if you wish to live to tell the story?
There is no record of Jesus carrying or using any of the weapons in the Bible. People buy guns everyday for their own personal protection in America; how many wars have those people who buy them started?

You are married woman. The man and you expect Children. Whose name do they bear? WHose bloods do they carry? Arent you a happier woman when you have children? Now tell me about the children of jesus, and who carries his name by blood? Sorry he is God, he does not have to have children. No sex, because thats beneath God. However, Muhammad (AS) was a prophet like every prophet who married. I know John didnt.
Children do not make one's life complete! Some children betray or kill their parents. One's life is only complete with the one who never leaves or forsake - God Almighty. Many people have proved that you can live life to its fullest without children.

Someday, you will wake up and see that God needs no son. Read your post. You call jesus God. At the same time you call him son of God. I guess he was the ghost that got his mama pregnant. You know what they call that: similar to the myth of the boy who killed his father so that he can marry his mother.
Is it possible for you to have 3 or more of the below listed roles at any one point in time?

Father, Husband, Son, Cousin, Half-brother, Step-brother, Son-in-law, Father-in-law, Brother-in-law, Servant of NL Oil Plcl!

Will the fact that you are Biola's father exclude you from being Mr Christopher's son and Mrs Hamed's son-in-law and the Operations manager of NL Oil Plc? You are still the one and the same person!


In heaven. A spirit, waiting for my time to be here on earth. Jesus wait was almost 2000 years less than mine. My wait is definitelyy less than that of my great, great, great garnd children, who will be here adter I have left.
Great calculation! You say you were in heaven and waited some 2000 years more than Jesus! Jesus said he was in existence before Abraham was created! He was there at the beginning.

Allah says that a time has come when people will be trooping into islam. It is happening today. Allah says Rome will defeat Parsia. It happened. Allah says Abu Lahab will die a disbeliever. Thats what happened 10 years later. Allah says Makka will be won. It happened like that. Allah says Makka is only for believers. The Saudi has her headquarters in Rihayd, so that no non muslim is invited to enter Makka. Allah says Masjid Aqsa. At that time it was ruin. Today A mosque named Aqsa is standing there. Are you satisfied? Allah says there will be people like you who envy, deride Muhammad, islam, etc. There are many of you on Nairaland. A christian friend of mine in DC was talking to me the other day he said the Muslims knocks their heads on the floor. I ignored his ignorance because in all the years I have been muslim, I have never knocked my head on the floor. Touching gently is knocking in the eye of the disbelievers. I understand that.
Thanks for providing the prophecies. I will look into it. About your friend, I too know people who call christians 'apatewo mu garri', doesn't offend me one bit. Glad you put it down to his ignorance. This world would be a better place if many people put a lot of things people say down to ignorance instead of putting a price on their head or call for them to be killed for saying things that they believe to be true.

And dad in Nigeria who sired you will be proud of you rejecting him for somebody who does not share mom's bed. Your husband will be happy to know that the children you have for him now belong to an entity who did not keep you up some part of the nights. Good reasoning.
My dad doesn't see God as his rival. He knows that what he as an earthly father cannot do for me, my heavenly father - who is also his own heavenly father - will do for me.

And jesus said "of my own power I can do nothing". Seyibrown, I now ask you where did he get the power to make you God's son? I say its a fake. You christians are status crazy. You remind of the man who married his daughter "illegally" to a senator. He wants elevation of his status in the community.
[b][size=14pt]John 3:31-36 (Amplified Bible)[/size]31He Who comes from above (heaven) is [far] above all [others]; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth, and talks the language of earth [his words are from an earthly standpoint]. He Who comes from heaven is [far] above all others [far superior to all others in prominence and in excellence].

    32It is to what He has [actually] seen and heard that He bears testimony, and yet no one accepts His testimony [no one receives His evidence as true].

    33Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal of approval to this: God is true. [That man has definitely certified, acknowledged, declared once and for all, and is himself assured that it is divine truth that God cannot lie].

    34For since He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaims God's own message], God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure, but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit!

    35The Father loves the Son and has given (entrusted, committed) everything into His hand.

    36And he who believes in (has faith in, clings to, relies on) the Son has (now possesses) eternal life. But whoever disobeys (is unbelieving toward, refuses to trust in, disregards, is not subject to) the Son will never see (experience) life, but [instead] the wrath of God abides on him. [God's displeasure remains on him; His indignation hangs over him continually.

From the above scripture (said by Jesus himself), Jesus has the power to make me God's child because God has put everything in his power.

While the Bible recorded Jesus as God, we heard from the mouth of jesus that he was a servant sent. Muhammad (AS) said exactly the same thing, when people are saying jesus was God. I am even correcting you right here, right now to stop the madness of trinity. But you will not listen. I am on theside of Muhammad. You claim you are n=on the side of Jesus, but then you made him a god, when he said he was a servant? Who is wrong here, you or jesus? I already answered the rest in What the former Comforter left for another comforter to teach the believers. But of course, you are not going to tell me a thing the ghost correct you on, taught you that Jesus never taught, guided you into that jesus didnt. can you tell me a book I can read them from?
I answered this in post # 24 on page 1 of this thread. Jesus said other things, why believe one thing but not the other things he said. Your father sending you to give a message to some people does not make you an houseboy. To the ones who you are bringing the message, you are the son of your father, 'the bearer of the message' (messenger), and the one who carries out the wishes of your father(servant, in that respect) but it doesn't bring you to the level of your houseboy at all!

I have not published a book on what the Holy Spirit has said to me or corrected me on yet but there are people who have published what the Holy Spirit has told them. I will reserve a copy for you when I write that first book! The Holy Spirit helped me see why it is important to examine my motives for doing anything. Specific example:The Holy Spirit put me right on 'Adult toys'. The Holy spirit clarifies things that I do not understand when I ask him.




Is that name jesus or holy ghost? If not are those titles? clue, clue, clue>>>>Allah Al Qahar (The God Who is Irresistible).
Please list 3 of the 99 names of Allah so I can use them to explain better to you.[/Quote}The Irresistible. The Everliving. The Never Dying. The Only Sustainer. The ord of the Day of Judgment. The fashioner. The Recreator. The Creator. The Only Giver. The Restrictor.
Ar-Rahim (the merciful), Al-Malik(the King, the Master,), Al-Jabbar(the Compeller, the Lofty), Al-Khāfid (the abaser)etc all refer to Allah.

Jehovah Jireh >> God my provider
Jehovah Nissi >> The Lord our Banner (our cover, our means of victory)
El- Shaddai >> God Almighty
Jehovah Rophi >> God Who Heals
Jehovah Shalom >> LORD is Peace
Eloi simply means God.

I hope you will now understand when christians refer to God using a title or description that is not in English. Eloi, Yahweh, Jehovah or  El-shaddai refers to the same person.



Moses performed more miracles than him.
Moses was the scripture as you call the Bible.
If it makes you happy, live in your lies of the bold. A person who couldnt do anything by his own power wouldnt rise if he died, you know. When he begged (read your Bible for clarity), God will not allow them to kill him, so how could he have risen, when he didnt die, but just got "mashed up (jamaican lingo)"?
This is poor thinking. If you use Corinthians to support jesus, then did the writer of Corinthians know Jesus, being his disciple? Lets leave this till sometime in the future. I though Jesus ended the issue by Gospel? Oh. he didnt. he left it to the Another Comforter. How did this comforter memorialize his teaching, his correction, his reminding? Show e a book I can read it in so that you got it in a latter generation. If I remember correctly, jesus was talking to those disciples, alone, if you wanna go there. I am already there and you cant pick and chose, but must be consistent in this matter. You can say those people received the ghost, and you are receiving it now, since Jesus didnt say it like that, it must be your own makeup.
Moses did not raise the dead!

Yes, Moses was their physical guide.

He died, conquered the grave and resurrected. He is alive, that is why when we ask in his name, we receive! I explain more in post # 113 on this same page.

The comforter did not need to read a book. The comforter knows the mind of God because he is the spirit of God. The comforter already knows what message needs to be passed on

While man id not body and soul and spirit, but body and soul [spirit], it is almost absurd to use this as your basic argument for Trinity, a clearly 3 different entities. When man is alive, is his soul or his spirit still in the womb of the mother where he resided before birth? Or is his spirit and or his soul still with God who created them? Or his spirit and or soul still in the egg or spermatozoa in the body of mother and father respectively? Are either the spirit and or soul away from the person, if he were to be called a living man? When a man dies, his soul or his spirit leaves his body that is now lifeless. When you said Jesus died, did Yahweh and Ghost not died with son? Did they remain behind and what happened to Trinity? That concept must have vanished just as well. No? Please explain what happened to the 3 God heads at that time. I dont care about other times, but just that brief time you said Jesus was killed; Did Trinity (3 god heads remained, and each full of complete God? ETC).
[b]Jesus did not just die; He DIED and RESURRECTED on the third day! God and his spirit can not die because they are eternal. You very well do know that the man can only kill the body. JESUS died for three days. God did not die, the Holy Spirit did not die. JESUS DID NOT REMAIN IN THE GRAVE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT KILL ANY PART OF GOD.  His death on the cross and being in the grave for three days was to accomplish the work of salvation. When the work was finished, that which is only possible by the Spirit of God happened, THE ONE THAT WAS DEAD CAME BACK TO LIFE! Glory to God! That which man thought was impossible happened. That which the Devil did not expect happened. Jesus not only died and ressurected, he took away the power of death! It was predicted in the Old testament:

[size=14pt]Hosea 13:14 (King James Version)[/size]
14I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
[/b]



Even though it is stated that there is a stage in the pregnancy that the soul and the record of the child is brought, there is encouragement of termination fo pregnancy. It is clear that the life of the mother is more important than the life of the unborn. If the life of the mother is in danger, common sense dictates that she should be saved over the baby, if one has to die. Further if a woman is despoiled, by whoever (And I ask God Who is the Only Protector, to protect everyone from this evil situation. Amin), if she does not want the baby, who should force her, under any decency or moral compass? Lets say she was ganged despoiled as thieves broke into her home. Shall we now force her to be a mother to a child from evil act?
I am a conservative muslim. We are supposed to be morally balanced.
[b]God made Adam from dust and breathed life into him; He made Eve from Out of Adam. 'Adam's seed' met with 'Eve's seed' and a third human was born. Spermatozoa will not become a baby on its own, neither will an ovum. When sperm fertilizes the ovum, a new beginning is born. Life starts at the point of that fusion. The fertilised ovum, if it completes the gestation period, will grow into a full human body. When you kill a man, you disconnect his body from the 'driving force', you destroy that 'vessel' that contains the person, you cut their journey short. When you get rid of a fertilized ovum, you cut the journey of that 'container' short.

I will choose obedience to God at all times and let God take care of the consequences. Having a child from despoil does not spoil one's life. Yes, people might say things behind your back, but it is your standing with God that matters, not your standing before men. God gives us double compensation for any shame we suffer (Isaiah 61:7)!

I am not a conservative muslim. I examine every motive or action of mine under the microscope of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.[/b]

I thought that was over with jesus? Sorry Jesus didnt complete it, so he gave it to another comforter. You are now saying that even the Biblical another comforter did bad job as well? No wonder you cant show even anything the another comforter said, and a book of reference so that I can read his "correction, teaching and reminding".
Correct. Everliving God does not have a child. What will be the purpose? But this Everliving God communicated in written book form and whoever follow the latest will certainly by that road map reach success; paradise (InshaAllah).
You should tell me. If God did reject it, it is absolute the litmus that jesus was not even a prophet. Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Inside the what he supplicated to God. God did not let him die. No damaged to his eyes, and other sensitive organs and parts, except scrapes on his skin. Jonah is less of a prophet, according to how you label jesus, a god in your eye. A bigger God rejected his prayer/supplication/request of not wishing to die. An his cry on the hanging tree is a proof that I did not make it up. he complained. Read your Bible and tell me, answer your own question, lady.
Jesus completed the work he was here to do. The Holy Spirit (the comforter, the counsellor, the guide, the reminder, the corrector, the convicter, the teacher) took over from there.

Jehovah loved us so much he gave his 'arm' for our salvation. He is not limited to communicating through a book. He is not limited from coming to his creation in the form of his creation. He communicates with his children all the time through his Spirit.

You are the one who is si sure that God rejected Jesus' plea, hence my asking you to tell me why.


The bold is a proof that Muhammad was talking "revelation". Why would a man says that the mother of another man is the best of all women? A woman from a different tribe at that? Imagine that, since the jews think that the Arabs are nothing? Listen Seyibrown, there is no way I will say any woma is better than my mother, except of God commanded me to say it. Even to my wife, I tell her my mother is my first love, the greatest love of my life. And I tell my wife that her mother should be the greatest thing in her life, too.
[size=14pt]Why did Mohammed say Maryam the mother of Jesus was the best of all women? Something greater than anything done through any other woman was done through maryam. If Mohammed was talking by 'revelation' like you say, surely it means Mohammed admitted that 'Maryam' was better than his own mother. The aspect of Mary's life that makes her different from all other women is that she gave birth to JESUS CHRIST. If Mary was greater than Mohammed's mother because of the great thing that was done through her, It then follows that 'the great thing done through her' JESUS CHRIST is greater than Mohammed! By your very own admission, you do know and see the truth but will not accept it.[/size]
