Y0rubaPrince: After Iraq finished hurting the US, where are they today?
The war will be faught only in the middle East, Iran don't have the means of attaching US mainland,
The US will move their fleets to the Middle East with much protection. The US will attack Iran, then Iran will start attacking US bases their in Israel, Saudi etc
I am responding hopefully for the last time. Alot here don't grasp what's at stake. The hurt Iraq inflicted on America is not so much direct, as to the consequences of the war. Iraq is down, but many families in the USA lost their sons. The economy felt the impact. Americans hitherto 'righteous' image got dented, as many nations loath them now and view them with suspicion. There recent wars in the middle East has revealed to many the fact that they have weak spots too and this has emboldened China, Russia and North Korea. You think happenings in middle East can't affect us here. That is where the world economy gets what it runs on from. let me give you the ideas of countries that can be easily drawn in; Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq. just imagine a bomb land on an Holy place in Saudi Arabia and people in Kano starts a violent protest and the Shiat groups here too see an opening to pick up arms. Ugly things can happen from this unwise decision by trump. in 1914, it just took the murder of a seemingly unimportant leader from a small country to start of the ugly reactions that led to world war 1. Mo una use na brain. And not glorify stupid actions thinking u are safe here
philip0906: Yes Iran is a bigger nut to crack but they don't have what it takes to go to war. Israel alone, is waiting for them.
Iran and China won't stick their necks for them neither will Saudi Arabia. The only support and allie Iran will get will be rag tag militia from rebels in war torn countries of the middle east.
Imagine the top military commander of their elite force was picked up at the airport by rebels and he was blown into pieces by superior fire power. Is that the person who will lead Iran to a modern warfare? A country that aligns with rebels? Israel, not even America will blow them away.
They are working on inter continental ballistic missles, America and Israel is aware of that and are on stand by to push their own buttons in case they want to go rogue.
my brother abegiii...go and read very well jare. How can u even put saudi Arabia among the country that won't stick their neck for Saudi Arabia? is that even open to debate? what I am talking about here is unintended consequences. Iran can hurt America. Things can move on quickly from there. American allies aren't even supporting America on this. America mind u is supremely powerful. Iraq hurt them, Afghanistan too (in cost, human lives and materials). Iran is a different ball game altogether.

philip0906: Oh please! Easy man...stop been paranoid.
1. Oil prices ALWAYS go up when there are tensions in the middle east. So this is not new. 2. China and Russia can't and will NEVER stick their necks out for Iran. 3. Any war in the middle east will not be different from the wars in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon etc
Paranoid? ok U are right with ur no. point but no. 3, that war in Iran will be like other wars on the region is so dump. The fires-all the wars that America waged or supported in the middle East since the last 20years is still ranging. most of those countries do not see how they can achieve peace, from Afghanistan and Iraq through to libya, Yemen and Syria no one can really project this countries will be whole in ten years time. I hope u know the war in far away Libya helped strengthen boko Aram. now, they want to add Iran in the mix. and Iran is stronger than any of those previous victim nations and has more influence. You should know they have sizable supporters here in Nigeria. Now your no. 2points that Russia and China will not stick there neck, can be true at the early stage of the conflicts. bit something about war is that there is always a risk of miscalculation and unintended consequences. This big players have interest everywhere too. If anything do eventually suck them in I wonder if u will be able to still post without giving critical attention to happenings. War is terrible. it can end humanity. it should avoided at all cost. So can u still see paranoia in the logical analysis here?
philip0906: Damn! See as hand be like asun. This is a man that was a dreaded leader of one of Iran's elite forces, blown away like a fowl.
Iran's retaliatory move, will be proxy or lone attacks by sympathizers...at best it will attack some American allie bases in the middle east. If they go overboard, Israel is patiently waiting for them.
Either way, they're done for. The economic sanction alone is crippling them and their allies (Russia and maybe China) can't do sh1t either.
ur lack of understanding about international happenings it's obvious. I like America and many things it has stood for, but this move is ill advised. This people America, Iran and other world leaders) are going to end up setting the world on fire. it's going to affect everyone-u and ur family included. it's not a curse. U noticed has oil price went up? and u saying China and Russia can't do shit, shows u need to read more
Daviddson: I'm not understanding. Does it mean the countries making up ECOWAS didn't vote on the adoption before the ECOWAS president or whoever was in charge, made a public declaration on it? This is quite silly.
And BTW Nigerias response is more mature - though both are still foolish responses, because it seems like it came as a shock to them.
Nigeria response is right on point. The rule on adopting the Eco has been slightly changed by those 8francophone countries at the behest of France. France is trying to hijack the whole process. this is why Nigeria enthusiasm appears to have cooled.
englishmart: 1.Jesus is the only way to God, John 14:6 This invariably means those who don't believe in Jesus have no business in heaven. Christians worldwide have an estimated population of 2.4billion people Islam records an estimate of 1.9 billion adherents, Hindu has an estimated 1.1bn adherents. The remaining world's population have their own beliefs which includes atheism. If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so.
2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess." Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe) Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions.
3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead? I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue. I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence. I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family.
4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most. The 1933 Holocaust and mass murder of Jews to the tone of 6m was a clear indication that God turns His eyes against His people Repulsive comments are highly welcome
my brother, there is no issue in this ur issue. All d things bordering u have logical answer from the Bible. Let me awe u, there is no single contradiction in the Bible. Inaccurate or outdated translation sometimes make it look like there is. I am a seeker of truth. I have come to understand many things to the extent I can tell u, I can give logical answers to ur 4points, and ofcourse from the Bible. If u are interested, please notify here. From tomorrow, that's if u will adjust ur stance and see that finding out about God isn't joblessness, we will take it one point per day. And I will tell u I will never give u the lazy pretext of u having to first be baptise with the holy spirit before u understand God and is ways. Because the Bible make us know that he is really close to us
Maximus69: Hairyrapunzel WAS a JW, he is self-centered and feels whatever rules binding on members is not for him so he WAS DISFELLOWSHIPED!
So there is NOTHING you can say to assist him, he is fully determined to kick against whatever JEHOVAH says, most especially if it's to govern his people as one. He feels really bitter inside him like scattering God's people so that there won't be worshippers of the true God standing out as a unique group!
thinkmoney: hmmm, thank u. I notice it's difficult to make him see reason. God help him
Hairyrapunzel: Christmas is unscriptural, not celebrating Christmas is still unscriptural.
Which instances to show that Christmas is unscriptural did you give.
You that does not have biblical backing to show that jesus or jehovah condemned celebrating the birth of christ is talking about sowing seed of conviction.
Even to show a bible verse that shows early Christians didn't celebrate it because its unscriptural is difficult for you.
Last last it's still your own assumption or Rather the assumption of your religious leaders which is not true because there is no proof.
thinkmoney: U need to study Bible the more. whatever u do that doesn't show u value Gods gift which is ur life, is a sin. Smoking degrades and damages the body, Gods suppose temple. that one reason why it's a sin. Do whatever u do, it's obvious u don't have sound Bible knowledge.

Hairyrapunzel: Smoking is bad health wise. It is not a sin to smoke. Nowhere is it mentioned in the bible that we shouldn't smoke.
Thank God you said explicitly not mentioned in the bible so therefore, I have no obligation to obey your assumption when there is absolutely no proof whatsoever
U need to study Bible the more. whatever u do that doesn't show u value Gods gift which is ur life, is a sin. Smoking degrades and damages the body, Gods suppose temple. that one reason why it's a sin. Do whatever u do, it's obvious u don't have sound Bible knowledge.
frndfghtr: I am an okada man, operating from Orile to Cele bustop highway, I came across a woman lying lifeless on the road, people gathered around her, no one to rescue her or to take her to hospital, all her cloth was stained with blood, I called some people and they put the woman on my bike, we rushed her to primus hospital ijesha, where the doctor were very rude and requested for card money which one woman transferred 3k to the doctor.
Later the doctor rejected the patient and ordered me to take the woman out of their hospital, that the injury is too much, unknowingly to me all the people that followed me down to the hospital have ran away, I refused to take the woman away, the doctor and the held me hostage in the hospital and called ijesha police for me, they came and Seized my okada, insisting that I will take the woman to LUTH hospital by all means, failing to do so I will be held responsible for anything that happen to the woman.
They started making fun of me by calling me, GOOD SAMERITAN, HERO, HELPER , THAT CANT HELP HIMSELF, that is why will i carry whom i don't know on the way to hospital?
I started crying, luckily to me another good sameritan showed, this one is KEKE MARUWA rider, he encouraged me, full of confidence, that he will support me let's take the woman to LUTH hospital with his kekemaruwa.
For complete 5 hours this woman was seriously bleeding, From 8pm I brought her to the useless hospital till 1am Early morning, that was when the Keke man showed, the police refused to assist with their so called TOLL FREE PATROL VEHICLE, I called 911they answer but not show up, me And the keke man now took the woman to the LUTH hospital around 1am with a police report, KUDOS TO LUTH hospital, they rushed the woman to emergency and commenced surgery immediately, me and the Keke man spent like 10k for the drugs and other things that night, in the LUTH.
To the glory of almighty Lord, she is recovering, and the family have come, I be taking back my okada, from the police.
please lets be friends. it's ur type I want in my life, especially for the new year. I have a mother that help others when no one dare raised a finger. I have also helped saved two babies lives, when others were clueless.
madridguy: First, May God bless you brother for saving this woman. You have made a huge sacrifice and only God can reward you for.
I can relate with your story brother because I've been in your shoe before both in Lagos and Ogun state respectively.
As my late father used to say, " It can happen to anybody " i used to wonder how people feel bringing out phone recording people in need of help? What do they do with the videos, share on their status or page for worthless likes and comments?
As for the doctors, i don't blame them since majority of them are heartless and wicked. They derive joy in seeing dead people since our government won't question them.
I could remember how God Almighty used me to rescued a woman like that and only for the doctor and the nurses to be abusing me, calling me bad man that i want the woman to die so i can quickly marry another woman. For their mind they think she's my wife, this is a person i don't even know her name. I lied to them that i was away for work when they called me so i have to quickly rush home, one nurse with razor blade mouth still said because am not a caring man reason i did not know my wife is sick....felt like slapping her but i knew if i ever mention that she's a stranger they won't attend to her again so i have to play along for the sake of the woman.
After every every, she was stabilize and she asked what am i doing here, the nurse with her told her your husband brought you here bla bla bla the woman said am a single mother and please let me see the man. Na so dem know, the woman call her children and friends when dey arrive am about going when the doctor called me inside her office and asked me if i know the risk and repercausion of what i did? She asked me what if the woman die? I just told her, what happened to her could happen to anyone and i left. The risk i have took for total strangers alone, at times when i remember i just shake head for myself.
Again, OP, you deserved the Nairaland BEST MAN OF THE YEAR award.
please lets be friends. it's ur type I want in my life, especially for the new year. I have a mother that help others when no one dare raised a finger. I have also helped saved two babies lives, when others were clueless.
Hairyrapunzel: At least show us a bible passage that says that if u must celebrate our christ birth (which we do really thank God for), we should not do it on a day that has a pagan origin and with pagan totems and unscriptural objects like the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, star etc.?
I av shown u places that infer or suggest we should not celebrate Christmas. as s Christian, I know u agree smoking is bad. but is there a place that explicitly says we should not smoke? but there are many instances in the Bible that we can sew together to get that the Bible doesn't support smoking.
Hairyrapunzel: If you can also bring out a part where they said celebrating birth of Jesus is a pagan practice and jesus condemned such. You made this statement
So I had to reply that jehovah made a specific day for pagans to celebrate their gods and if we as Christians use that same day he will destroy/slaughter us.
After all we don't want to lik candy that was in the gutter even after it had been cleaned.
this is whataboutism. somehow I have continued with u because u appear polite. I have given Bible instances that shows why Christmas is unscriptural, important among this is that the early Christians did not celebrate. U might not fully get it now (because convictions is one of the hardest thing to change). I have shown a seed in u though. Because I have been logical with u. may God help u have the right factor to make the seed grow
Hairyrapunzel: Jehovah made a specific date for pagans to celebrate their gods and warned Christians from celebrating anything on those days.
If Jesus didn't want us celebrate His birth He would have still said it.
2 Tim 3:16
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
It's like as pagans used dec 25th to celebrate their gods that means that day is specific only for their use as Christians can't celebrate their Jesus.
Please watch urself. I only hope somebody that knows u see ur responses, so he can tell u ur premise is faulty. it's obvious ur believes and practices is as a result of lack of adequate Bible knowledge. now let me help u test urself. if u can bring out the part in the Bible that says Jehovah made some date for pagan then ur believes are correct but if u can't my dear, u need help. Besides, how old are u
Hairyrapunzel: Like dec 25th was made for only pagans. In fact God made specific days for pagans so he doesn't want to try pagans that's why Christians should not celebrate anything on that day.
So I should not celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on dec 25th because pagans probably used that day to worship their gods gazillion years ago?
It's like your jehovah said that dec 25th is the specific day he has chosen for pagans to celebrate their gods and Christians should never use same day or else he will murder them.
Funny enough you guys never say Christmas on dec 25th is a pagan celebration. You just say dec 25th was a pagan festival day that was used to convert pagans to christianity. Lol
I won't go on with u. U just said something that have allowed me weigh ur Bible knowledge. how could u insinuate God has made some days for pagans?!. to cap it up though, Jesus asked us to mark his death. if he had wanted us to celebrate his birth I am sure he would have told us. the apostles marked his death but didn't celebrate his birth. this practice went on for 300 years after Christ death until apostasy crept into Christianity. these early Christians including the apostles were closer to the time of Christ. they are worthy of emulation. remember the Bible warned against adding or removing a DOT(.) from what it says.
mgbadadike: Where was it written in the Bible that celebrating someone's birth is a sin?
So celebrating that our Lord Jesus Christ took human flesh and came into this world to save us is a sin?
dear, it is written in the Bible that the day of death is better than the day of birth and going to the house of mourning is better than going to a party. why this passages do not discourage celebration, it's gives a context to the issue on ground. if u must celebrate our christ birth (which we do really thank God for), why must we do it on a day that has a pagan origin and with pagan totems and unscriptural objects like the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, star etc. if you feel something history doesn't matter, I ask u if u would still lick a candy that was gotten from a gutter even after it has been cleaned?
mgbadadike: Jesus Christ wasn't born on the 25th of December, but 25th December was chosen to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
So what's wrong with it?
overdo is dangerous in religion. Did Jesus ask us to celebrate is birthday? He rather actually asked us to celebrate his death! Do u know of any godly man that celebrated is birthday in the Bible? Did ur forefathers celebrate their birthdays? Don't just swallow everything thrown at u because it looks good or taste good. It's nutrition value may be at best zero if not poisonous. 'watch that ye keep standing...'

johnmba: Have been wondering if there is a difference between the two. My reason is this: we believe that Jesus is God and in St. Paul's letter he said " Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"
Also Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit said " who am I that the mother of my Lord should visit me".
So people is there any difference.
confused people. there is difference. though like Jesus there are many called God, there is only one almighty God, Jehovah or Yahweh (the same name. He unlike Jesus has no beginning and can never die (...he never sleeps nor slumber). Jesus called him , my father and my God. Jesus is our lord in the sense that he is our master taking and guiding us back to God. 1 cor. 8:6 says; there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him. only with this understanding will Psalm 110:1 make sense; The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ... u will then understand that the first Lord is Jehovah(which is what was really there in the Hebrew version, and the second lord is Jesus. If you want to know why many other people and spirit being are referred to as God, please feel free to ask me.

Betting is the action of gambling money on the outcome of a race, game, or other unpredictable event. Gambling or betting provides the temptation of quick and easy riches.
Intermittently, our societies abound with temptations that endear even Christians to join the growing league of gamblers. Moreover, many people do not see anything wrong in betting.
Although, there is nowhere where it is written that; “thou shall not gamble.” But if you are truthful to yourself. You will find out that Biblical principles are against gambling and betting.
However, we shall consider the reasons why you don’t need to gamble or bet as a Christian. This article shall consider the reasons why betting is sinful from biblical perspective.
Bad Effects Of Debt In One’s Life by Tunde Korede
Wrong Misconceptions About Gambling
Some people use casting of lots in the Bible to rationalize their addictive betting habit.
During the time of Nehemiah as the Governor, people who should live in Jerusalem were chosen by casting lots (Neh 1:11).
Joshua distributed the land by casting lots in Shiloh in the presence of the Lord (Joshua 18:10). Also, the Apostles cast lots to determine whether to select Matthias or Barsabbas to replace Judas (Acts :23-26).
But why is it sinful for me to gamble? Besides, the Bible says;
Proverbs 16:33 [33]The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
Since the outcome of the lot comes from the Lord. Why is betting and gambling sinful?
Note this, the Israelites were instructed by God to cast lots to distribute lands (Numbers 26:55). More so, it was a normal practice for them to cast lots in Isreal to determine certain issues. Read 1 Chronicles 24:5, 31.
Important points The people who cast lot in the Bible didn’t do so to get more money. They never did it with the expectation of getting quick riches.
Hence, we cannot possibly equate betting or gambling with casting of lots in the Bible. They are different. What the Bible is against is acquisition of wealth in an unjust and speedy manner.
Lots are cast to determine certain decisions not to make money. Get rid of that misconception. Betting or gambling to acquire more money is sinful. It violates God’s principles of wealth acquisition.
How To Erase Borrowing Mentality
Six Reasons Why Betting/Gambling Is Not Good For You
• It’s A Proof Of The Love Of Money 1 Timothy 6:9-10 [9]But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
[10]For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. If you don’t love money excessively, you won’t bet to acquire more money. People who practise betting are those whose love for money is extensively high.
One of the temptations and snares people who want to get rich fall into is betting. There are Christians who find it absolutely difficult to give to the needy. But they prefer to put their last little remaining money on gambling.
Truly, betting is a proof of the love of money. And the Bible frowns on this. Whoever wants riches should work hard pray and be patience.
Christians Youths Must Develop These Four Skills
• Violation Of Kingdom Principle Of Wealth Creation
Proverbs 13:11 [11]Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
In the Kingdom, wealth is gotten through labour. And wealth is gotten little by little not once and for all. Gambling is against biblical principles of wealth creation.
To you, you might prefer betting as a good means of making money. But the practice defiles God’s Word. Its purpose is not in consonant with the Word of God.
Yes, the purpose is to make money. But how do you explain a situation whereby a man bets #500 and wins 20,000 without working.
Before, a man can win such amount of money, many people would have lost theirs. That’s why many betting companies are increasing in Nigeria and other developed nations daily.
Excuse: Top Excuses You Must Never Make
• It Encourages Quick Money Making Syndrome
Proverbs 28:20 [20]A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.
Here, what the verse means is this; whoever is hasty to get wealth is not innocent/sinless. In other words, making money in a very quick and easy way is sinful.
No wonder our generation is driven by money. Many of our youths are engrossed with the thought of becoming like Dangote/Otedola or Trump in one day.
Dear friend, if you really want to make good money.
Sustainable wealth is not made by betting. No matter what you think, you can build an enduring and sustainable wealth through gambling.
• Gambling Leads To Addiction Ecclesiastes 5:10 [10]HE THAT LOVETH SILVER SHALL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH SILVER; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
Although, there is nothing one cannot be addicted to. One can be addicted to porn, football, books or phones.
Meanwhile, people can also be addicted to gambling. There are people who can use their spouse to bet. And there are those who can use their newly-bought car to bet.
For instance, you may start your betting journey with #200 and end up betting a huge amount of money.
Frankly, that’s why you cannot leave your money in the hands of some people. Because if you do, they will use your money to bet.
Sexual Addiction And How To Be Totally Free From It
• Proof Of Covetousness Luke 12:15 [15]And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Statistically, many of those who are chronic gamblers today started through covetousness. When you want to become a billionaire overnight, then, betting is your last resort.
Once again, it a proof of covetousness and greediness. Your life does not consist in the abundant of things that you have.
Leave your friends alone if they are doing it. But be determined to stand out as Daniel determined in his days.
Five Reasons Why Christians Fall Sick Often
• It Promotes Laziness 2 Thessalonians 3:10 [10]For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
God’s Word says, if anyone would not work, s/he doesn’t deserve to eat. That’s the principle. Those who work should be the one to eat.
Sadly, you can possibly eat and have more money without working if you’re a gambler. And this contradicts the Word of God.
Again, betting promotes laziness. Today, there are some youths who will sleep all day and walk about aimlessly. Why? Because they are sure that they will definitely win.
Let’s work! Say no to gambling! Don’t twist the Word of God because of your circumstances.
I know the Nigerian government is not employing some of our graduates. But we should not disobey God’s Word because of our situations and circumstances. Pray to God for help and start doing something.
God bless you all!
Please, let me know your thought after reading this article. If I have offended you while reading this article. I’m sorry. That’s God’s Word for you.
u did well, but there is one vital point that I expected u will mention but that u have left out it may be because u urself have not given a thought about it. this is it; Bet is greed, love of self and wickedness. this is because you hope to gain what many many others will loss. for my brother that mentioned those that cast lot on Jesus cloth: they were soldiers and most likely sinners
EternalBeing: Almighty God is truly awesome, a great eternal self-existent, self-sufficient Being far beyond who words could efficiently describe. The size of HIS Creation (Heavens, Earth, the Multiverse, the Universe, the Angels, Humans, Animals, Inanimate things, etc.) is unquantifiable. HIS Wisdom is truly infite, unsearchable and immeasurable. Quran and Bible agrees that ALMIGHTY GOD created Man from miry clay and chose to elevate Man above all his creation; including the Angels. Angels were made from fire, diamonds, electricity and superior immortal things that we don't even know as humans, while Man was made from miry clay.
Just as we humans have authority over the cloths, cars, computers, air planes, etc. that we manufactured for particular purposes, ALMIGHTY GOD has far more Supreme Authority over all Angels and Humans because HE created us for his desired purposes. YAHWEH's decision to elevate Man above all the Angels led to the Battle (Revelations 12:7) that happened in Heaven which resulted in the demotion of Satan because he refused to bow to Man (you and I) as ALMIGHTY GOD commanded.
Quran even puts it far better, to prostrate is far more submissive than to bow. Quran stated and reiterated this many times with same sentence. Quran 2:34, Quran 20:116, Quran 18:50, Quran 17:61, Quran 7:11,and Quran 2:34 says: "Recall when We said to all Angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam; all prostrated themselves except Satan, he refused." Some other angels refused too, and fell with him by doing so. And the Bible confirms this.
Truly, YAHWEH ALMIGHTY, our great Creator, is the Authority over all other authoritie, and nothing that HE desires to do could be stopped. His decision to elevate Man above Angels still came to pass and permanenly eternally established. Bible confirms this in Hebrew 1:6, Deuteronomy 32:43, Revelation 7:11, Revelation 5:1-14; Revelation 19:1-8, etc. Hebrews 1:5-6 "For unto which of the Angels said HE at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? (Non!) And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the Angels of ALMIGHTY GOD worship him. He didn't just earn that on a platter of gold, He most painfully paid for it. All were given equal opportunity to come and suffer for the World's Sin that they didn't commit, and die for Humanity. But when they saw the terrible horror of the "Cup to be drank", they shudder and ran back. Non of them love us enough to stake their lives and Heaven enjoyments, non of them love humanity enough to down grade to mere mortal to be born in stinking manger, non of them was... They knew that Humanity would be eternally doomed if non of them came down to redeem us back to our Creator, yet they saw us as useless mere mortals that was never worth suffering such excruciating pain for or dying for. I weep as I type this.
Only Jesus Christ HaMashiach(means our Saviour) saw how much YAHWEH ALMIGHTY loves us, only Him loves us as much as our great CREATOR, only Him was unselfish enough to say "I shall go down there to restore them their right to live forever" Yet, some shallow minded humans that are still blinded by Satan would say JESUS does not deserve our Worship. Will you now join me to shout "THANK YOU JESUS!!!" He has proved His eternal loyalty to the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth than any Angel or Human could ever do. So, the Angels in Heaven sang and proclaimed Him worthy and truly deserving of our worship forever. We thank ALMIGHTY GOD for granting Him the Throne beside HIMSELF.
Satan and his demons faught to stop the elevation and enthrnement of Man above them, but it still happened willy-nilly. Hebrew 1:5 "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" Non! Except Man, Jesus Christ, who earned His throne beside YAHWEH ALMIGHTY by being loyalty personified! I pity humans that worship Satan, demons or go to herbalists just because of material things and "solutions" in this temporary World. Such people devalue, demote and put themselves under Satan's feet instead of it being vice versa as originally mandated by ALMIGHTY GOD.
Now, let's say "Thank you Jesus!!!" and type several words worship from the depth of our Souls to appreciate our Maker as HE truly deserves. HalleluYAH!!!
misleading doctrine. doesn't look harmful, but this is how Satan subtly leads our minds away..one bit at a time. if you are really interested in what the Bible says of the relationship between man and angel, comment here and I will tell u
