Westerhoffe:
Both you and him are not different from each other.

You twist the Bible is several aspects, he twist it too.

Him saying hates poor people is as a result of him not reading the Bible anymore before opening his mouth in sermon.

JESUS CHRIST said:


“The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.”
— Matthew 11:5 (KJV)


How did JESUS CHRIST then hate the poor?
How many houses did JESUS CHRIST have when He was on earth?

Even you too said when we get to heaven we can never see GOD still, but the Bible says:


Revelation 22 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³ And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
⁵ And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.


[b]So, I'll not listen to either of you preach heresies mingled with little popular truth known in order to make it seem you're telling the truth.

So, I conclude you both ain't different from each other… only in different ways.
We will only see the glory of the Father in heaven because HE is invisible and dwells in an unapproachable light.

Instead, We will see the Father through the Son. That's why Jesus said 'If you have seen me, you have seen the Father"

as per the verse u quoted Rev 22.3-5. it mentioned the throne of God and the lamb, not thrones of God and the lamb. ONE THRONE NOT TWO THRONES.
NOW TELL ME TELL WHO IS SEATED ON THAT THRONE

Christianity EtcRe: Easter: Contradictions In The Gospel Narratives! by SIRTee15: 9:28pm On Apr 18, 2025
It's Easter again and some Muslims who are embarrassed by their own scripture claim that they can't not defend because they don't have evidence to back up such claim are back again to throw dirt at a significant event in history.

An historical fact that has been confirmed as true and real by multiple attestation including enemies of the Jesus Christ.

So to clarify all doubts, I will respond to their contradiction claim.

I've gone thru the different resurrection accounts in the 4 gospel and the there's actually no contradiction at all.
In fact the different stories complement each other and when merged together the resurrection events makes logical sense



1. How many women visited the Tomb?

The important thing to note here is that none of the gospel writers said 'only' a particular number visited the tomb. They simply mentioned names of women they knew that visited the tomb.
actual logical contradiction requires exclusionary clauses such as “only x, y, and z were there and no one else” or “only three people witnessed incident a.” None of the Gospel texts do that here; hence, no demonstrable contradiction exists (see Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:1).

Gospel of John seemingly makes it like only Mary Magdalene visited the tomb until we get to John 20:2. Mary finds the tomb empty, runs to Peter and (presumably) John, and says the following, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and WE do not know where they have laid Him.”

In reporting the words of Mary, John reveals that there were others with Mary.

2. Number of angels

The area which has generated the most discussion concerns the angels who were at the tomb of Jesus. Matthew and Mark relate that one angel addressed the women, while Luke and John say that two angels were at the tomb. This seems to be a discrepancy, with Matthew and Mark knowing of only one angel while Luke and John speak of two. However, Matthew and Mark do not say that there was only one angel at the tomb, but that one angel spoke to the women.

This does not contradict Luke and John, for Matthew and Mark specify that one angel spoke, but they do not say there was only one angel present or only one angel spoke. Quite possibly, one of the angels served as the spokesman for the two, thus he was emphasized.


3. . Who rolled the stone away

The issue with this question is centrally dealing with whether the stone was rolled away from the tomb when the women arrived. Notice that all but one account are in definite agreement. Mark, Luke, and John all say the stone had been moved when the women arrived. It is only Matthew who reports, or appears to report, that the stone was moved as the women were there. So let’s take a careful reading of the verses in question.

Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. (Mt. 28:1-2)

The event in verse 2 had already happened before the women arrived. They did not witness the earthquake or the angel rolling the stone. By the time they arrived the tomb, the stone was already rolled away. Matthew is only telling the readers how the stones was rolled away.


4. What happened after they left the tomb.

This is another area where we have a large degree of agreement between the Gospels. To varying degrees, the Gospels each report that the disciples were told. Or at least it was the intent to tell the disciples, which is all Matthew reveals. I will merge my explanation here with another seemingly contradiction which is who among the women saw Jesus.

If we study the accounts carefully, we can make the FF logical conclusion;

Mary Magdalene & the other women travel from Bethany to Jesus’ tomb.

Nearing the tomb, they notice the stone is rolled away. Mary runs to tell Peter and John while the rest of the women continued to the tomb.

With no corpse, empty tomb and encounter with strange men; the other women were initially shocked and took time for them to recover from these extraordinary encounter, until they got over their shock they told nobody.

Mary Magdalene returns to Jesus’ tomb with Peter and John.

Peter and John return to the house after seeing the empty tomb. Mary stays behind where she sees Jesus.

Afterwards, the other women returned to Bethany, stopping first in the city to report their findings to Clopas and other disciples. Thereafter, Jesus appears to the other women as they’re headed back to Bethany.

Another popular contradiction bible critics love to raise is the time the women visited the tomb which I will explain here.

All accounts indicate that it was early on the first day of the week. Matthew says it was as the day began to dawn. Mark, Luke and John all say “early”. the difficulty comes when we see John say that it was still dark, yet Mark say that the sun had risen.
Sunrise could vary in appearance depending on subjective observation. What is dark to some could be cloudy to another.
So these terms in reference to the same approximate time of day are not mutually exclusive.

Moreover, another explanation could be where the women journeyed from.
Earlier in the week some of the disciples lodged at Bethany, two miles from Jerusalem. It’s possible that the women were staying there for the Sabbath, and when John says it was “still dark”, he’s referring to the time they left Bethany and “went to the tomb”.
That’s more than enough time to go from “still dark” (Jn. 20:1) to “when the sun had risen” (Mk. 16:2).

Is there any gospel narrative anywhere that said Jesus wasn't crucified?

He died the exact way Allah told him he would be killed if he's ever caught lying- his aorta would be slit.

Now regarding the death of Jesus.

Even bible atheist scholars agreed with Christians that Jesus Christ was crucified. Romans that nailed him to the cross confirmed they crucified him.

Even Ahmadiyah Muslims agreed with Christians that ISA was crucified.

So U have to tell us where U getting your own sources.

He should allow Canada be. It's so obvious Trump doesn't have what it takes to rejuvenate American manufacturing. His actions only proves no be gragra.

Pls let's leave sentiment aside and ask real questions.

Did his wife register for antenatal? If yes, which hospital? Did they go to the hospital during thos emergency?

Most hospital normally admit and attend to their REGISTERED PREGNANT PATIENTS AND WHO ATTENDED ANTENATAL REGULARLY even during emergency.
It's very rare for a hospital to reject their registered pregnant patient during emergency except of the case is beyond what they could cope with.

Besides, I can't remember Nigeria govt has any plan for free delivery or antenatal. Most couple plan towards it, how much did he keep aside for such antenatal emergency or he was hoping everything will go uneventful.

Finally, why did he even think of going to private hospital in emergency. Most private hospital don't have facilities to manage emergency in the first place. His first thought should have been taken his wife to a govt hosp.

It's a pity a beautiful life is lost due to negligence and callousness of all parties involved.

America does not BORROW TO IMPORT and this has nothing to do with Debt it is about trade

Long story short American debt is totally irrelevant to the discussion and tariffs will simply force the world to rethink the use of the US dollar
Without the dollar the US cannot consume as much as it does which is the fundamental point you have failed to grasp
What Trump WANTS and reality is very different

Is he going to force the production of Bananas and coffee to America?

There are a whole list of product that CANNOT be made in America and many are such low value items that will be uneconomic to make at American wages e,g Tshirts or jeans. NOT EVERYTHING can be made in America and not every nation can afford to buy from America so a more selective use of tariffs would make more sense

Regarding high value products Those countries that make them e.g China with Electric cars are in a position to retaliate.

The idea that tariffs will move manufacturing to the US is really quite childish

Building a factory for the cost of $10 billion is a major decision for any business and they won't make such a decision when dealing with an unpredictable narcissist like Trump
America is able to fund it's flamboyant excessive consumerism via DEBT. The truth is America cannot afford it's lifestyle except thru debt.

So debt is what is fuelling the trade deficit. Americans are borrowing to pay for imported products. Let's not even talk about the dubious quantitative easing- printing money out of nothing.

I agree with U tariff should be selective and this is an area I disagree with Trump.

But to say this trade deficit shouldn't be addressed, I beg to disagree.

Reference:
I still do not understand how folks who are against the quest of the US government to bring productivity back home expect the average American to afford the goods they produce abroad in perpetuity.

Who has been able to square the circle of not producing yet affording stuff when we clearly know that America is racking up monumental debts with countries like China and other so called 'cheaper' producers, aka lower living standards countries.

The average household debt or personal debt in America is rising steadily. Shouldn't this concern the rest of the world that this global market place, this global dumping ground is going bankrupt.

Now to the average American. Is it fair that you want to earn some of the highest, uncompetitive wages on earth and yet want to shop in 'bush' markets instead of at high end arcades.

This is the crux of the matter, a battle for the structural integrity of the global economy. Santa Claus is dying.
This is what I have been trying to explain here that some refuse to understand possibly due to their hatred of America or Trump.

America is funding his generous consumer market by borrowing heavily, a practice that's not sustainable on the long run.

One day, America will go bankrupt and won't even afford to borrow. Then what happens after that to the so called imported goods.

I may not fully agree with Trump and it seems he has sinister motive, but he's the only president who has taken the bull by the horn. We should see how it eventually works out.

A lot of people here commenting ignorantly about how the USA is justified in doing this.
That the US is running trade deficits with the world etc

On the surface that is a plausible argument

There is a fundamental point you are missing

We like to pretend that every country has a currency

In reality there is only one currency in the world and that is the US dollar

Now take a look around your room or your house.

Is there a single thing that is Made in the USA ? Even if you use an Iphone it likely is made in China

If you trade with China from Nigeria you are using dollars

Why is this?

Did we not recently hear the THREATS Trump made about anyone seeking to change the dominance of the dollar?


What does that have to do with Tarriffs?

Nigeria has maybe $30 billion in Foreign reserves . None of it is in a single Nigerian bank. The Saudis, Kuwaiti China Russia South Africa and others are forced to keep their money in US banks

What is the interest rate in Nigeria today? maybe 30% and America? Maybe 5%

So the Capital of the world is in US banks providing credit for Americans , businesses and individuals to live a lifestyle the rest of the world can only dream of

It is down to the fact that YOUR MONEY IS IN US BANKS and you dare not change it as an African leader or you will be removed


So in Nigeria you want an Iphone you pay cash upfront. same thing with a TV, Fridge etc

In America you can buy those things on credit and pay over 5 years. In fact they even allow you change your phone every year

So Americans are in a position to CONSUME like no other nation

Think about this
They continue racking this huge trade deficit and the dollar never crashes? Why Saudi sell their oil and keep it in US banks and invest in the USA

The same Saudi that will only build mosques in Nigeria
The Same Saudi that will not invest here
The Same Dubai that bans you from going there

Tinubu will go and sit with them forming Islamic conference but they will not put money here

The Position of the dollar is a military accomplishment not an economic one . Trump complains no one buys their cars? Yes because Korean cars, Japanese Cars European cars make more sense

Economically The US does not contribute that much .
They produce hardly any coffee .They set up an exploitative Starbucks and now want to impose tariffs on Coffee. How does that make sense. Is that supposed to persuade anyone to start growing coffee or bananas in America or to start buying Cadillacs and Fords
Your analysis is apt but U forget one big thing- America's rising debt.

American govt continues to borrow to fund his budget; not only that, America also prints money out of nothing to fund his budget. These are not sustainable and it's been said by 2035, America will be spending close to a trillion to finance his debt.
If that happens, a lot of continue will lose faith in the dollar as reserve currency, and will likely look for alternative source of reserve.

America may not take that lightly and may go to war which is exactly what is backing the dollar right now- military might.

Now Trump wants to avoid all these by forcing some productions back home thereby putting pressure off constant borrowing. I don't see anything wrong in this. Economic war is better than military war.

And consumer debt at 18 trillion right?

China’s debt is 60% of its GDP, do you know that of the US? You will say it’s a lie if I told you.
Exactly why Trump has to do something about it.
USA is the consumer king, but Trump is saying those consumer products should be produced in America.
That way the trade deficit is reduced and spiraling debt is controlled.

For once American GDP should increase without a corresponding rise in its national debt.
How long can America sustain the policy of quantitative easing to support consumption, it makes no sense. For once, let every dollar printed be backed with real value of production.

Other countries are free to use alternative form of currency for international trade and china is free to be next father Christmas for the world.

But at this point, it's extremely unhealthy for America to continue playing that role of father Christmas.

Nobody is saying America shouldn't import but let their be some meaningful domestic production. 1 trillion dollars in trade deficit annually is crazy. Previous Presidents who allowed that should be hanged in public.

Even U will become irritated and eventually avoid a community w.hore no matter how generous she was to U in the past.

That's what America will become if nothing is done about it's deficit and national debt. No country will touch the dollar for anything because it will become so useless.

Boost local production of tropical crops? Can't you guys be smart for once? Even the things america produces have you ever asked yourselves why they import it instead of producing locally? The labour cost in America is high and if he likes, he should continue increasing tariff, for most goods going into america, it will still be cheaper to import from china, India, Vietnam etc. The price of the goods in America will just go up and his people will pay high. In the mean time, when china raises ots tariff, American farmers will go out of business, that's a fact!
Trump is right. American trade deficit is crazy. It's over a trillion dollars in negative. It makes no sense at all.
Nobody is saying America shouldn't import but there has to be some control.
Some manufacturing has to return home especially from china even if it means automation.
Someone has to end the father Christmas. This nonsense is the reason feds keeps printing the dollar carelessly. This has to stop too. Every dollar printed must be backed by value.

And good luck finding another generous importing country like America. Europe isn't wealthy enough as a single consumer market; and don't even mention china, that country will never tolerate any massive foreign importation in any form.

He is mr Net zero for a reason. His wife is also into the net zero BS. So 75% of Alberta crude will still have to go to the USA. No pipelines to Ontario/quebec or north West 🤣
The bigger problem is a vote for this Mark Carney and his pro-climate, anti-pipeline stance will lead to voters frustration in Alberta leading to deepened independence agitation in that province.
Alberta is one of the few provinces immune to the Trumps tariff war and the last thing we need is allow electoral dissatisfaction become a thing in the province. Recent poll shows majority of Albertans are very open to leaving Canada and the Alberta Premier has said she wouldn't oppose any call for referendum if the voters demand for it.

We can avoid all this by voting common sense. Vote Pierre Poilievre

I'm voting Pierre Poilievre. He might have presented himself as a mini-canada version of Trump by his anti-woke, anti-media, anti-DEI rhetorics but this guy knows exactly what the problem is and he has always built his campaign around this manifesto that reflect the yearning of the people.
Poilievre has promised to repeal the impact assessment act and issue license for more minerals and energy exploration as well as approve new energy infrastructure including fast tracking the east coast pipeline corridor.
What Canada needs now is economic independence from America, we cannot continue to allow america determine our economic destiny. The only way to do this is open new economic opportunities for trade, something Liberals are very reluctant to do.

Even Mark Carney has embraced a lot of Poilievre's campaign promises including repealing the carbon tax and building new oil pipeline because he knows Poilievre is making common sense.
However, Mark Carney cannot be trusted, he's just another elite globalist, a mouth speak for large global financial institutions who will sacrifice Canada's future for some nonsense global agenda such as climate change or whatever. He will say anything to be PM but will pursue the globalist's agenda once in office.
If in doubt, check his resume. Carney was the former UN special envoy on climate action, and a strong proponent of achieving net-zero emissions. Himself and John kerry pioneered the glascow finance alliance for net zero initiative , and forced private corporations and world leaders to contribute financially to the scheme.
If u think Carney will give up his lifelong climate ambition just because he's PM of canada, then we must be living in delulu land. Besides Mark Carney is amongst the top advisors of the disastrous Trudeau regime, they told the music teacher turned PM what to do regarding the economy and we know how it turned out.

Canada doesn't need someone like Mark Carney as PM as this precarious moment in its history. The next 10 years is very crucial for canada, voting another liberal globalist will spell disaster for canada. This country for once must also think canada first and prioritize the needs of its citizens ahead of some scare mongering climate noise that benefits nobody.

A 10 year old helping her mum at her place of work with simple task isn't child labour.
Kids have been doing it for donkey years in naija and we came out fine.

Don't bring western wokeism here. Every culture's way of life is unique.
