Some people will just open mouth waaaah to get traffic on their post. The event was already postponed yesterday evening 16 May 2022 but the explosion occurred today 17 May 2022 due to gas cylinder explosion not a bomb explosion oh. Poster, please have small fear of God before you conclude and post. Get your facts right please.

Lmao, you are very wrong. It was a bomb. I stay in Sabon Gari, Kano. Don't mind what the news media is telling you. I was in the toilet taking my bath when I heard the blast. No body sells gas in that area (ABA road). It happened a shop near a school. They are currently excavating the area and removing bodies and flesh. If it was a gas explosion, why is there no fire. I stay in the street close to ABA road (I won't mention it for the sake of my privacy) by the way. I went there and saw the thing with my korokoro eyes. No be gas be that. It has to be some sort of explosive.

Oh, I understand what you did but what you failed to do, even so many posts later, is provide the most important of details which is scriptural evidence for the claim that Ahimelech was in fact the High priest at the time mentioned. This, the same thing I mentioned was of importance from my first comment to you.

Regardless, a Being who can allow his only begotten son to die cannot be easily understood.
This whole thing is just pathetic

He said when Osinachi came to him complaining of respiratory problems, he referred her to the hospital, while she was dying in the hospital, despite his several prayers that availeth nothing, he was busy packing crutches in Cameroon like a golf caddy. Crutches he claimed people left behind after healing.

None! But I went through Methodist, (Childhood), Methodist/Catholic, (secondary school), Redeemed (University), wife made me run through Catholic again. and by the accumulation of all I learnt, I observed God was leaving churches as Written, (which I did not know at the time, only that I have learnt to watch what is going on, so I knew) until it was unbearable to stay in Catholic, even wife too. Then I checked Redeemed, same thing. Then I completely stopped. And it was after that, that people started noticing that church was dry. And I was like, "una no feel am since? Na so una don die reach?"

So, there you have it. I don't go to any church nor associate with any group of people.

All this is really unnecessary since I am not the least bit interested in rehashing that which I already know of this issue.

Again, Where is it stated in scripture that this particular Ahimelech was the High priest abeg?

As I already explained, I am not much interested in what others have said of these stories as I like to do my own digging to connect the dots for my own self. Haven't done much on this particular story since so far, what I have from scripture seems not to connect the two mentioned in the way cited in the error claim.

Lmao, go and sit down. I just provided you arguments why Ahimelech was definitely a high priest and you don't even argue with it. You are insistent that the argument that Ahimelech was a high priest must come from the Bible. Okay then, following your logic, then the trinity is not really a thing since the concept was not mentioned in the Bible.

The high priests belonged to the Jewish priestly families that trace their paternal line back to Aaron—the first high priest of Israel in the Hebrew Bible and elder brother of Moses—through Zadok, a leading priest at the time of the reigns of David and Solomon over the United Kingdom of Israel.

In Mark 2.26, Jesus is reported as saying: πῶς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ ᾿Αβιαθὰρ ἀρχιερέως καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως ἔφαγεν, οὓς οὐκ ἔξεστιν φαγεῖν εἰ μὴ τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἔδωκεν καὶ τοῖς σὺν αὐτῷ οὖσιν…

Or, in English, “Haven’t you ever read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry? How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the sacred bread that is not lawful for anyone but priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?” (Mark 2:25-26).

The fundamental problem with the phrase “when Abiathar was high priest” is that this incident in David’s life is recorded in but one passage in the OT, 1 Sam 21.1-7. But there, Ahimelech is mentioned as the priest; Abiathar, his son, would later become high priest, but he is not introduced into the narrative for another chapter (22.20).

Now as I mentioned earlier, the title of the high priest is usually passed down from lineage to lineage. The succession was to be through one of the high priest's sons, and was to remain in his own family (Leviticus 6:15).

So it doesn't matter if the Bible mentioned it or not. What we do know is that the title of "high priest" was passed down from father to son. And since We know that Abiathar (the son of Ahimelech) was a high priest, we can also draw the conclusion that his father Ahimelech was a high priest also.

Oga Kobojunkie are you there?

The High Priests, like all Levitical priests, belonged to the Aaronic line. The Bible mentions the majority of high priests before the Babylonian captivity, but does not give a complete list of office holders. Lists would be based on various historical sources. In several periods of gentile rule, high priests were appointed and removed by kings. Still, most high priests came from the Aaronic line. One exception is Menelaus, who may not have been from the Tribe of Levi at all, but from the Tribe of Benjamin.

Here are the High Priests of Isreal:

Aaron
Eleazar, son of Aaron (Numbers 20:2 cool

Phinehas, son of Eleazar
Abishua, son of Phinehas
Bukki, son of Abishua
Uzzi, son of Bukki
Although Phinehas and his descendants are not directly attested as high priests, this portion of the genealogy given in 1 Chronicles 6:3–15 is assumed by other sources (including Josephusand Seder 'Olam Zutta), to give the succession of the office from father to son. At some time, the office was transferred from descendants of Eleazar to those of his brother Itamar. The first known and most notable high priest of Itamar's line was Eli, a contemporary of Samuel.

Eli, descendant of Ithamar, son of Aaron
Ahitub, son of Phinehas and grandson of Eli
Ahijah, son of Ahitub
Ahimelech, son of Ahijah (or brother of Ahijah and son of Ahitub)
Abiathar, son of Ahimelech

He was summoned into Saul’s presence, and accused, on the information of Doeg the Edomite, of disloyalty because of his kindness to David; whereupon the king commanded that he, with the other priests who stood beside him (86 in all), should be put to death. This sentence was executed in the most cruel manner by Doeg (1 Samuel 22:9-23).

I am not much interested in what others have said, but my personal evaluation of what I have read. The story in Mark lists Abiathar as the High Priest at the time of the incident told of by Jesus Christ whereas the one story in 1 Samue 21 instead only lists the name of a priest named Ahimelek

Ahimelech was the 12th high priest,and officiated at Nob, where he was visited by David (to whom and his companions he gave 5 loaves of the showbread when he fled from Saul (1 Samuel 21:1-9).

how did Jesus came from heaven lol.

You have obviously not read the Nicene creed

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father [and the Son],

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Like God and God means the same thing.
Because the title "GOD" simply connotes authority and since Moses and Jesus were given the authority they're like Gods when they both walked the earth.

That's why Peter could compare Jesus to Moses! Act 3:22

So your argument is that Jesus is merely given and authority and He is not actually God?
Do you believe in the concept of trinity?

The particular name of the high priest at that time is not indicated.

1 Samuel 21:1-6

Oga Kobo, are you well at all?

Christianity Etc › Re: The Bible Is NOT Free Of Errors Don't Deceive Yourself by SSIPON(op): 11:45am On Apr 14, 2022

Kobojunkie:
There is a problem with that particular assumption. You see, Ahimelech was not listed as the High priest but simply as a priest in the town of nob. According to God's Law, there could be only one High priest in all of the land, but ofcourse numerous priests, all of them from among the tribe of Levi.

Some people have developed a long and complicated argument to the effect that even though Mark indicates this happened “when Abiathar was the high priest,” it doesn’t really mean that Abiathar was the high priest, but that the event took place in the part of the scriptural text that has Abiathar as one of the main characters. Their argument was based on the meaning of the Greek words involved and was a bit convoluted.

However, the fact is that they had to do some pretty fancy exegetical footwork to get around the problem, and that their solution was in fact a bit of a stretch. I think we can conclude that maybe Mark did make a mistake. But the problem with that conclusion is that a lot of Christians believe that there are zero mistakes in the Bible and admitting that Mark (or whoever wrote the book of Mark) made a mistake will counter the claim that the Bible is inerrant.
