AngelahFlo:
My Ideology is based on the Bible which is the word of God. I don't know where your ideology is based but of its outside the word of God then it's not real. It's falsehood. While it's true that God has an interpretation in various languages like the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa? It's not the languages I'm faulting you with its you equating an interpretation of God to pagan nations that God destroyed.
Example likening God to be same as the pagan god of the chaldeans. Yahweh is both a name and title of God. Don't know where you got your one of the sons of Enlil from.

You don't know, you don't know... ignorance is not an excuse, the best thing to do is to read, study and research more......that is what knowledge is all about, not blind faith.

SeraphEl:
1. 4. Quite the contrary, without the "old testament" sacrifices, you will have no context for 'new testament'. The old testament blood sacrifices gives context to why Christ had to 'shed HIS own blood'.


2. Did not say Yahweh rates animal sacrifices, but the various types of sacrifices given meant different things to Yahweh obviously.

3. Yahweh is the creator and first and foremost, animal sacrifices was HIS original idea. Sure, other heathen nations copied it for their gods. But, that's the work of satan. Satan copies and perverts.

If you should say, oh but these sacrifices were practiced by other pagan nations before Isrealites, just remember satan was once an archangel who had prominent role by Yahweh's side as HIS leading angel of light. Surely, satan knew a thing or two about Yahweh's idea of animal sacrifices?!

4. Sure, today, in the age of gentiles, and with Yeshua's death and resurrection, and destruction of 2nd temple, there's no longer need for sacrifices and these appointed times of the LORD TODAY because they are placed on hold. But, make no mistake, these "old testament" rituals are being reinstated in HIS 2nd coming. It's the bible, read the books of prophets. Start with Ezekiel 38-40.

Son, Christianity was invented by westernization of Hebrew ancient east worship of Yahweh. Remember the bible was about a people named the Hebrews including Christ and His apostles. Gentiles were grafted into salvation of Israel by grace. The early believers were Jewish people who believed in the Messiah as 'THE WAY'. It was later on beginning in Rome that separate religion called 'Christianity' was invented.

Thanks for the comment. Hope response is helpful.

1. Was Jesus executed or sacrificed? Which was it. When did God start accepting human sacrifice after he called it an abomination?
2. God does not desires sacrifice from us, what he asked for was a contrite heart/broken spirit. Not human or animal slaughtering. In the first place animal sacrifice was only admissible for unintentional sin that is when it works. It must always be an animal without blemish. NEVER A HUMAN BEING.
3. No, God never asked for a an animal sacrifice. What he want is for us to sacrifice our ego. I don't know where you got that from.when Abraham was about sacrificing Isaac, God stopped him. Because he won't accept it.satan is also a Christian construct. The Satan in the Tanakh is under the control of God. And does only what God tells him to do
4. The temple was destroyed by the Roman invaders and they carried away their temple materials. That does not mean it was God putting an end. When God reveals his real Messiah, his first order of business is to build the temple and resume the priestly activities.

God's spirit whether good or evil are the forces that sustain life in the universe.
It formed the cosmos and holds it in existence.
We, humans are that spirit experiencing life in multiple ways...
The proper understanding of this is the beginning of your salvation...

Sadeeq996:
It seems someone is really confused here. You say its Joshua now and later you say Jesus. Make up your mind brethren.

Anyway,
That’s a really insightful question 👍. Yes — some Christian (and Jewish) interpreters say the “prophet like Moses” in Deuteronomy 18:18 was Joshua, Moses’ immediate successor.

Here’s why they argue that:

Reasons Some Say the Prophet = Joshua

1. Immediate Context in Deuteronomy

In Deuteronomy 18, Moses is preparing the people for leadership after his death.

God promises to raise a prophet “from among their brethren.”

Right after Moses dies (Deut. 34:9), we read:

> “Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.”

This makes Joshua look like the immediate fulfillment.

2. Joshua as Moses’ Successor

Joshua literally continued Moses’ mission → leading Israel into the Promised Land.

He was a prophet in the sense of being God’s spokesman and leader.


3. Jewish Tradition

Why Most Christians Don’t Stop at Joshua

Joshua was not “like Moses” in every way:

He didn’t give a new law.

He didn’t speak with God “face to face” like Moses.

He was more of a military leader than a prophet of revelation.


Acts 3:22 (New Testament) directly applies Deut. 18:18 to Jesus, not Joshua.

Therefore, Christians usually see Joshua as a partial or immediate fulfillment, but Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment.


Summary:

Some Christians (and Jews) say the prophet is Joshua because the text right after Moses’ death highlights Joshua as the chosen successor.

But mainstream Christianity argues Joshua was too limited to match the description “like Moses,” so the verse points beyond Joshua to Jesus.


Now to answer your principal and students' reference about:
Who should expect the new principal?

The students in the assembly hall that heard the principal speak in 2023

Or the students that will be enrolled in the year 2900?


Good question 👌 — let’s work it out historically.



Step 1: Approximate time of Moses’ death

The Exodus is debated, but many biblical scholars place it around 13th–15th century BC.

If we take the common scholarly view:

Moses’ death = around 1400 BC (15th century BC) or

Alternative conservative view = around 1200 BC (13th century BC).
Step 2: Approximate time of Jesus’ birth

Jesus was born a little before Herod the Great’s death (4 BC).
Most scholars date Jesus’ birth around 6–4 BC.

Step 3: Calculate the gap
If Moses died around 1400 BC → Jesus born ~4 BC, that’s about 1,396 years.

If Moses died around 1200 BC → Jesus born ~4 BC, that’s about 1,196 years.

So the time between Moses’ death and Jesus’ birth is roughly 1,200–1,400 years.


Lets also calculate the gap between Moses’ death and Muhammad’s birth (570 AD) so we can compare both timelines?

Here you go:

If Moses died ~1400 BC → to 570 AD (Muhammad’s birth) is about 1,969 years.

If Moses died ~1200 BC → to 570 AD is about 1,769 years.

So both Jesus and Muhammad came at least after a thousand years after the death of Moses.

I will let you decide if its the 2023 students or 2900 students because I've been spoon feeding you all the while.

Take this as a hint:
In case you want to debate or defend your opinion, always remember these:

“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”

“To attack the person instead of the argument is to confess the weakness of your own position.”

“Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.”

So in essence

Going after me doesn’t prove your point and Attacking me doesn’t make you right.

If your argument had weight, you wouldn’t need to throw punches.

We can both hold on to our religious beliefs and live peacefully and happily with one another.

Remember:
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.

Do you even understand what I wrote?
Or you are answering someone else?
Why would Joshua bring another law when the Torah is eternal? Nobody is coming to change or add anything, anyone who does is regarded as a false prophet.
That epistle you wrote up there is a missfire..
Thank you,

Very Apt.
God is within. I wonder why people continue to seek for a saviour outside of themselves.
We are Gods just having a human experience or walking a human path. Not the other way round. The day you realize this is the first day of the rest of your life.....

He surely will bend to the Will of God cos he's a creature. The Word of God not Education is key.
Man didn't create the devil. Man exhibits devilish traits cos of the evil thoughts they entertain.

I repeat God didn't create the devil. The being that is the devil today was once an anointed cherub that dwell in the Holy mountain of God. He became proud of his beauty and wanted to be like God. To be worshipped like God. He was cast down and became the devil. His original name was Lucifer.
God didn't create the devil. He became what he is today by his choice. See Isaiah 14.
If you still don't get it, I drop my fingers and move on to another topic

Satan, devil and Lucifer are three different orishas. They are not God's. They represent the laws and principles of life.
Satan is the orisha of the air
Devil is the orisha of darkness
Lucifer is the orisha or love, war and death. Lucifer is a feminine aspect . Lucifer is a "she" Not a he. And she is who christians know as Mary the mother of Jesus. She is the so called queen of heaven, Don't miss them together.
Where did you people get the idea that they are evil?

Man is the form by which God experience his creation.

man is Gods spirit dwelling within a physical body made from dust.

we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

before our incarnation here on earth, we were Gods and Goddesses.

the important question should be at which point does the spirit enters the feotus? at which point does it become conscious?

when this life is over, our bodies are buried for it to return to dust, and our real self returns to become one with God...it is pure and does not need to be saved from anything.

Came down to earth? Are you for real? 😩😩😩😩

Also, the term "Sons of God" is never used in the entire book in reference to a blood line as Sons of God were instead used reference to men who through diligence attained the level of Righteousness set by YHWH.

If that passage was in chronicles or kings, your point would have been admissible. But not early in the book.

The Satan I have been reading about here is a creation of man.
Not the one created by God. The one created by God is loyal and must bend to the will of God.

Education is key.

Who created Satan?
My Answer: Man.

Where did Christians get the idea that "Nah wetin Satan like e dey do"?
When God has the final say.

I keep directing people to the book of Job.
Everything the Satan does is what God tells him to do. Satan does nothing without God's Ok.(In Oscars' voice in shark tale) See Isaiah 45:7.
There is just nothing satan will do that God will not know about.
Anything that happens whether good or bad, only happens if it is the will of God.
I don't know where you guys got the idea that Satan is a dual opposite of God. That is a big insult.
In Babylonian religion. He would be Enlil. After Marduk finished creating the universe, he gave all the orishas their station and domain. Satan is just the Lord of the air..AKA wind. I think you guys should take a second look at the book of Job.

Which kind God una dey worship self?
Ignorance is really a disease.

AngelahFlo:
You miss the point. Go and read the Bible passage provided again or look up Genesis chapter 6 in your Bible. They came down to Earth and took on human bodies in order to marry the daughters of men that caught their fancy thus producing the Nephilims.

The nephilims where already on earth.

It's talking about the blood line of Adam son Seth. It is about a human relationship.

Angels don't matter with humans, it is not possible, only a male sperm can fertilize a female ovum. You did biology or basic science in school. Why are you suspending that knowledge?

This is what the author wrote. This is how you people deceive people with fake stories.
The Nephelim where already on earth. They are the union of humans and angels.
That union won't work. I just wonder how you people force yourselves to believe absurdity without questioning it.

1And it came to pass when man commenced to multiply upon the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them. אוַֽיְהִי֙ כִּֽי־הֵחֵ֣ל הָֽאָדָ֔ם לָרֹ֖ב עַל־פְּנֵ֣י הָֽאֲדָמָ֑ה וּבָנ֖וֹת יֻלְּד֥וּ לָהֶֽם:
2That the sons of the nobles saw the daughters of man when they were beautifying themselves, and they took for themselves wives from whomever they chose. בוַיִּרְא֤וּ בְנֵי־הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־בְּנ֣וֹת הָֽאָדָ֔ם כִּ֥י טֹבֹ֖ת הֵ֑נָּה וַיִּקְח֤וּ לָהֶם֙ נָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּחָֽרוּ:
3And the Lord said, "Let My spirit not quarrel forever concerning man, because he is also flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years." גוַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהֹוָ֗ה לֹֽא־יָד֨וֹן רוּחִ֤י בָֽאָדָם֙ לְעֹלָ֔ם בְּשַׁגָּ֖ם ה֣וּא בָשָׂ֑ר וְהָי֣וּ יָמָ֔יו מֵאָ֥ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים שָׁנָֽה:
4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of the nobles would come to the daughters of man, and they would bear for them; they are the mighty men, who were of old, the men of renown. דהַנְּפִלִ֞ים הָי֣וּ בָאָ֘רֶץ֘ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵם֒ וְגַ֣ם אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָבֹ֜אוּ בְּנֵ֤י הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־בְּנ֣וֹת הָֽאָדָ֔ם וְיָֽלְד֖וּ לָהֶ֑ם הֵ֧מָּה הַגִּבֹּרִ֛ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר מֵֽעוֹלָ֖ם אַנְשֵׁ֥י הַשֵּֽׁם:

judewrites:
Our physical minds can't fully comprehend spiritual things....

If God's WORD says it happened, who are we to question the Word of God?

That is a mistranslation.
That is not what the original author wrote.

Look for a better translation and see for your self.

The "Sons of God" in that passage is referring to a particular bloodline, probably of Set. Adams son.
Only a man can mate with a woman.
That was God's decree.

Living things should give birth to their own kind.
Angels are sexless.
Angels can't mate with humans. It is just not possible. Only a male sperm can fertilize a female ovum. Not hing else.

Death is an illusion....

It does not exist.

Life is all there is..and that is what God sees.

Gabrielshow24:
Talk is cheap 😂,bring out evidence!

We are all aware of the "miracle of the sun". Pls, bring out how you came to an objective conclusion that Mary "was" ...or "is" "Ina...".

Until then, keep your hearsays to yourself 🤨.

Well,Mary is the queen of heaven
Inanna is also the queen of heaven
Therefore inanna= Mary

Mary is inanna, she is the queen of heaven. She is the goddess of love, war and death.
She is also Lucifer. She is the light bearer, since her beloved son is the light.

All the prayers the Catholics pray to Mary are all ancient prayers to inanna.

She is the one who appeared to three children in Fatima in Portugal, with three secrets.

She is about to dance.

All these synagogues all over the world are not temples and in Jerusalem! What other temple donyiu want??

the one God gave them the instruction to build in Jerusalem.

the real messiah is doing 6 things one of which is buiilkd the third temple and gather the Jews back to their home land. he would be a king over them. that is how we will know he is the messiah, not by signs and wonders.
God will do it in his own time.

no, those are titles reserved for the creator.
this is what Isaiah wrote, not the miss translation you peddle around

6. For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace."

See below - these are just mandatory sacrifices o

It is a situational sacrifice, it is for a particular reason.

DeepSight:
Fair enough.

But dont you think you should go one step further and discard the whole thing. Because Yahweh as described in the Hebrew Scriptures is a barbaric and murderous psychopathic enity.

Noooohe is not....lol

The Torah is the most beautiful peace of literature I have ever beheld. If you understand it, you will fall In love with it.
It is about going from ignorance(slavery in Egypt) to self awareness (promised land) by getting rid of our ego.

So? She was as good as his wife, only without the consummation.
God in this case Zeus who is found of virgin girls, went in to her. Just as he did for persius (clash of the Titans) .
It's all mythology my brother.....the earlier you accept it, the better for you.
God is one indivisible, Omni potent, omnipresent and Omni science ....entity.
Not a Jewish man up in the sky. God essence is very very different from that of a man.

Where did the prophets say that ?

All the idea that Christianity is built on, where are they in the Tanakh? It is all paganism packaged as facts.

FreeIgboho:
Do you doubt that Jesus is God?

He never even existed. We have to start from there first.
And capital No. He is not God see Numbers 23:19. There is no process whereby a human becomes God. It is idolatry. Christianity is all paganism rebranding. Same old worship of mother and son that was done in the levant in ancient times....

Where didn't he defend the Torah?? He always said he came to fulfill the law not abolish it.

Oh you're back to "he never existed". I thought you have moved beyond that!!!

I said "according to the story"

He never really existed to begin with. I have always maintained that. A woman can't become pregnant without the input of a man.
God mating with virgins are the Hallmark of Greek/ Roman mythology. The Jews don't have that idea. It's all pagan myths.
