[quote author=Baba_Eleko]Yes! You are right which means they cannot be retranslated by every Tom, Dikc and Harry to suit anyone's personal aggrandizement.
The word of God is sacred, should have just one generally accepted translation not plethora. Wonder how many more versions will be out by d time Christ returns.[/quote]If u compare the translations,they say the same thing.It's an advantage because it gives u better understanding.

Ticklishmummy: Mr Man,please if you must be the judge,be fair.Wasn't I insulted as well?Why the heck is everyone dwelling on what I said?How about the other party?
Please,only cast the first stone if you are without sin sogbo?
Read my other posts,afterwards.
Its glaring for everyone to see.
Which sane human being wakes up again,just to start a verbal fight on a faceless forum? I am dazed.I love my sanity and it is on this note I exit this forum.
Okay.Ndewo

Ticklishmummy: Well said dude,thanks for pointing that out.
I wasn't expecting you to praise me either but just cos you don't know me and you are simply judging over a faceless forum,I guess it would be ok for me ask you to please endeavour not to judge anyone next time,it is not right.
I dnt need to praise or condemn u.I only read posts here and I saw ur were nt right in ur opinion and when it was pointed out,u simply lashed out.Others may have insulted u along the way but that does nt take away ur initial error.It's true it's a faceless forum but have u ever heard....'For by thy words thou shall be condemned/justified'.I simply made a remark based on your responses.I'm nt judging u.Humility is a worthy virtue.

Ticklishmummy...if u like insult me I go say this to you.
U were wrong in your first statement and the first response to that was nt an insult.Unfortunately,ur response was rather wrong.U really need humility which I can say u don't have.It will take u a long way in life.

It's a congenital abnormality that occurs when a twin pregnancy is conceived but one of them fails to thrive and the stunted foetus is embellished in the womb of the other.It's called foetus-in-foetus.There have been cases like this around the world.

tobechi20: JESUS IS GOD

MARY IS MOTHER OF JESUS

HENCE,MARY IS MOTHER OF GOD
There is nothing like mother of God.Don't just walk in ignorance like the pharisees.When Jesus was told that His mother and brothers were looking for Him,He said who are my mother and brothers....these ones that do the will of God are my brothers,sisters and mother(Mark 3:32-35).Again when d question of marrying in heaven came up,Jesus said they do not marry in heaven but are like the angels in heaven(Mark 12:18-25).
Mary gave birth to Jesus on earth but she is dead and like the angels in heaven now.She does not occupy any position of authority in heaven.All this ignorance of' Mother'of God pray for us is just what it is....IGNORANCE.God has no mother!

Sweetnecta: @thorpido: by thorpido: 9:50pm On Nov 15

you seem to know the mission of Jesus more than Jesus, even more than his Lord God Almighty Who is One, always. while you say God is 3 as in trinity, i can see that you are far off from the truth as of now. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, so please tell us where God or Jesus who He sent to the children of Israel, even specifically to the lost sheep among them that Jesus is now for the whole world? wait a minute and ponder on this; will the comforter not be for the whole world as the last to be sent? If you sent a message and it is not to all each time but to a selected group, the last message must be to everyone more than the selected group, if no message will not be sent any longer? while there was no black man in the ministry on Jesus, we had african blacks in the ministry of Muhammad [sa] so much elevated that he was the first caller [ra] of the mission. we had asiatic people, so were europeans. we had slaves along the free. we had the poor along the wealthy. the women were almost larger in number than the men. now thats who carried the message to me, my kind.


imagine if this verse was true and the others ignored it. Imagine that for a moment. it will be equal if not greater in importance as if they forgot to mention his name. not mentioning is name would have been easier to accept because the title will be suitable for the identity. but to ignore that he was given to the world being the only sired son so that the sinners can live is an incompetence of the other writers who didnt mention it. Heck, it shows that it is not true but a made up story by John. why would God love to waste His son who he must love more than the whole world fr the sake of that very sinful world? who is making the demand of sacrifice from God or who is God appeasing with allowing His son to be sacrificed? you need to do even a deeper study of the bibles than just matching verses.


if Jesus was charged after his earthly life to 'reveal' any additional information than what he told his disciples and more than what the eminent duty of the expected another comforter will do [the comforter who at the time of Jesus the world did not know and can not receive], how on earth will Paul the liar and killer be the one to shoulder this matter called "REVELATION"? was there not a single person with a strong faith among the disciples who would qualify and capable of moving the mission forward? this is sickening. have you ever wondered why the disciples of Jesus actually had a different gospel than what Paul finally taught, forcing the people who knew Jesus to accept?
'And I will pray the Father,and He shall give you another Comforter,that he may abide with you for ever;(John14:16).'But 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'(John 14:26).Now I know muslims say Jesus spoke about the another comforter and that he is Muhammed but they never read the Scriptures.Like Jesus said they err not knowing the Scriptures.First from the first Scripture did u see that Jesus said He will abide with you for ever?Is Muhammed still alive?Again in vs 26,He specifically said Who is the Holy Ghost,Who the Father will send in My Name...Is Muhammed the Holy Ghost and was he sent in the name of Jesus?
There's nothing in the book of John that is different from what you will find in Matthew,Mark and Luke.Matthew 16:21 says 'from that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples,how that he must go unto Jerusalem,and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes,and be killed,and be raised again the third day.They all had the same message with John.
In Matthew 28:18-20,'And jesus came and spake unto them,saying,All power is given unto me in heaven and earth.Go ye therefore,and teach all nations....His message was for the whole world and it was to be fulfilled through his disciples and believers.
Why don't you diligently study the book of Acts and see the relationship Paul had with Peter and the rest of the disciples?Their message and that of Paul did not contradict.What I think you need is painstaking and diligent study.Paul may not have been there with Jesus,that does not limit his knowledge of Him.Some things can be known by revelation knowledge and it's a gift from God.
If u don't believe how then can you convince me that God exists?What if I tell you to show me proof that God exists?

Christianity Etc › Re: True Story- Muslim Sees Jesus In Toronto-canada by thorpido(op): 4:38pm On Nov 16, 2012
vedaxcool: Paul says:
Rom.13
[9] The commandments, "You shall
not commit adultery, You shall not
kill, You shall not steal, You shall
not covet," and any other
commandment, are summed up in
this sentence, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.
Jesus says:
Matt.22
[37] And he said to him, "You shall
love the Lord your God with all
your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
[38] This is the great and first
commandment.
[39] And a second is like it, You
shall love your neighbor as
yourself.
[40] On these two commandments
depend all the law and the
prophets.
5. On whom God has mercy:
Paul says:
Rom.9
[15] For he says to Moses, "I will
have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on
whom I have compassion."
[16] So it depends not upon man's
will or exertion, but upon God's
mercy.
[18] So then he has mercy upon
whomever he wills, and he hardens
the heart of whomever he wills.
Jesus says:
Matt.5
[7] Blessed are the merciful, for
they shall obtain mercy.
6. On forgiveness of trespasses:
Paul says:
Eph.1
[7] In him we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness
of our trespasses, according to the
riches of his grace
Rom.4
[25] who was put to death for our
trespasses and raised for our
justification.
Jesus says:
Matt.6
[14] For if you forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father
also will forgive you;
[15] but if you do not forgive men
their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.
7. On being justified:
Paul says:
Rom.3
[24] they are justified by his grace
as a gift, through the redemption
which is in Christ Jesus,
[28] For we hold that a man is
justified by faith apart from works
of law.
Rom.5
[9] Since, therefore, we are now
justified by his blood, much more
shall we be saved by him from the
wrath of God.
Jesus says:
Matt.12
[37] for by your words you will be
justified, and by your words you
will be condemned.

It is good to note that the above website is from a christian who unlike you is not a mindless zombie!

Now this is another reason Jesus needs to appear to the pastorpreneurs atleast he would tell them they are getting it all wrong grin grin grin
It is obvious from the Scriptures you quoted that what you lack is understanding.Paul said love thy neighbour as yourself and Jesus also said love thy neighbour as yourself.What is the contradiction there?You said Paul said in Romans 9:15.The verse says,'for He says to Moses,I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy....'.Did u realise that Paul was quoting the words of Moses and that they were not his words?You see why I said your problem is understanding?
No wonder Jesus said seeing they see not and hearing do not understand?

Anyway since you have resorted to calling yourself a mindless zombie I wouldn't need to continue dis convo with you.You're probably an adolescent who can't explain things without resorting to insults.I won't reply any further post from you.Bye kid.

vedaxcool: huh Jesus appearing to pastorpreneurs who are fleecing million of christians, the same pastorpreneurs that have mislead billion into thinking that material satisfaction is the ultimate goal in life seem more sensible because as a result over a billion would be guided rightly!




You are a follower of Paul, what was Jesus advise to a young man who asked how can I make heaven, well Jesus said keep the 10 commandments and be righteous. Paul said the law has been nailed to the cross, the sad thing is Jesus is usually contradicted by Paul who actually made pronouncements on things that he had no right on! I will post a thread on how Jesus was contradicted by Paul!
You are just rambling about pastors getting rich,it's now so boring.I'm waiting for your post about the contradictions.
Christianity Etc › Re: True Story- Muslim Sees Jesus In Toronto-canada by thorpido(op):
vedaxcool: ^

The more Jesus needs to appear to these pastorpreneurs, since you are alleging that pastors now get inspiration from imams, makes it mandatory for Jesus to appear to them to correct their misteps rather the thread alleges that Jesus prefered appearing to just one man. Now this is common sense why would Jesus appear to a man that does not have influence over million rather than appearing to pastorpreneurs(pimping hot rides jets, soon we go hear yatch of salvation and ticket will go for 1 billion naira, just to make Noah's yatch a second time, well we know paris can even afford the gum under seats talkless of buying a seat) who influence millions who you say now follow the steps of imams? Your lies are working against you. The joke is on you!
The appearance of Jesus to him has today influenced the lives of millions through him.You see Jesus is very intelligent.He sees the future while you only see today.The common sense is not very common afteral.

vedaxcool: The man has resorted to lying to promote stealing of tithe by pastorpreneurs all to buy Jet and drink hennessy laughing at the mugus that paid for it! We don't see imams using public donations to buy Jets do we? No, so When will Jesus appear and tell this fleecing flee bag to stop collecting pea nuts from their poor members just to buy Jet,Limos, soon we will hear yatchs. Well this is the price for following Paul instead of Jesus.
LOL at 'following Paul instead of Jesus'.Instead of listening to ur imam why don't u observe due diligence,do ur own study and show me where the message of Paul differed from that of Jesus?
Christianity Etc › Re: True Story- Muslim Sees Jesus In Toronto-canada by thorpido(op): 9:24am On Nov 16, 2012
vedaxcool: Now you befuddle reason, irrelevant is the Jesus in toronto story, because we could ask how does it affect the price of garri? In essence Jesus appearing to this tithe pinching pastors would make a greater impact on christendom rather than this appearing in toronto. If Jesus could appear to this privateer and pastorpreneuers more christians quality of life will improve as a result because this pastorpreneurs would devote more funds to catering for their suffering members.
Now u're just blabbering.If u are so interested in change why don't you do something about the boko haram.

joymary7: Well ‎​i named my baby according to the circumstances surrounding his birth. ‎​i gave birth via C-section so ‎​i named him EKELEDILICHUKWU, my mum named him CHIMDIEBERE because he forgave our sins and blessed M̶̲̥̅Ε̲̣̣̣̥ wit the fruit of the womb after marriage, my husband named him CHIBUEZE because God is truely king, then his baptism and english name is RAPHAEL because ‎​i want him to b a̶̲̥̅̊ doctor like the angel RAPHAEL. So names re given according to birth circumstances
Do people still name children based on circumstances of birth,reminds me of Jabez's mother.I think one should name a child what he/she wants 4 d future and not based on circumstance.You want your child to be a doctor?I think the better thing is to ask God to help you guide him in the path of his destiny.I don't think people should choose careers for their kids.
Christianity Etc › Re: True Story- Muslim Sees Jesus In Toronto-canada by thorpido(op): 10:07pm On Nov 15, 2012
vedaxcool: We are more interested in seeing a situation where your tithe stealing pastors would see Jesus in their private Jet. Atleast he would call them gluttons.
You know this is irrelevant.Salvation is personal.It's like asking how the activities of Boko haram is related to your practice as a muslim.

[quote author=true?]I agree Jesus is alive. I do not agree this man saw Jesus. I'm sure he saw something. Jesus said when he came back all the people on earth would see him. I did not see him.

Sounds like the women who drove her car onto the sidwalk into people, because she said God told her to. The demons are active.[/quote]Yes Jesus said all men will see Him and that has not happened yet.You need to understand the times.However He has been revealing Himself individually to people.
For the woman who killed with her car,it's simple.Ask yourself,does God save or destroy?That should tell you what spirit is in operation.
