Condolences to the family of the deceased officer but in reality there shouldn't be a night operations .
Till this morning ,it's still on EFCC website that there has been a ban on night sting operations .
I think they are confused right now,on one hand,you ban night operations and on the other,you said they were on legal operations.

Meanwhile someone should enlighten me if it is illegal to code in Nigeria now because they accused the said doctor of involving in "Coding"
Maybe they meant his runs were 'coded'. sad

Christianity EtcRe: Does The Bible Recognize Jesus As God? by thorpido(m): 6:40am On Dec 21, 2024
seguntijan:
Both Jesus and John Taught Us That Jesus Is Not The Almighty God

Yeshua (Jesus) clearly said he was not God but, in fact, had a God (the God). He said so in John 20:17.

Yeshua also said that there is no equality between Him and God. You find that in John 14:28.

John the Baptist also said, "no man hath seen God at any time" (John 1:18). Yet John the Baptist had not only seen Yeshua; he was also talking about Him.

If John was looking at Yeshua and at the same time saying, "No man hath seen God", what does that tell you?

I said this to someone, and they quoted the second part of that verse, which in some translations says, "But the one and only Son, who is himself God" as evidence that Yeshua is God.

The truth is that that statement is not in the oldest copy of the Book of John. Now, assume I am a liar and fact-check me.

Any translation that uses that additional statement in John 1:18, "who is himself, God," will usually include a footnote that reads something like this: 'Older manuscripts do not say so.'

Other translations, such as the King James Version, refuse to use that part of the sentence.

Instead of insulting, criticising, or swearing for me, open to John 1:18 in your Bible and verify or debunk what I wrote.

The challenge many people have is that they think the Bible was written in English. It was not. It was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.

That is why some people quote Isaiah 9:6 as evidence that Yeshua is God Almighty.

That verse was written in Hebrew and when you translate from Hebrew to English, things get lost in translation.

That verse reads as follows:

For unto us, a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

However, the Hebrew word used in that verse is el. That word does not mean Almighty God. There is a Hebrew word for that. There is a difference between Almighty God and Mighty God.

The God that sits on the Throne, whom Yeshua refers to in John 20:17, is not a Mighty God. He is the Almighty God.

The Hebrew word el, used in Isaiah 9:6 and translated as Mighty God (אֵ֣ל), is the singular of the Hebrew word Elohim.

In Hebrew, plurals are not suffixed with an s. Rather, they end with im. For instance, one angel is a cherub, and multiple angels are cherubim.

If an angel has intercourse with a human, they produce an offspring called a Nephil or Naphil. Multiple of such children are called Nephilim.

Now, the word el used in Isaiah 9:6 is simply el. When Hebrews want to use that word to refer to the God who sits on the Throne, they pluralise it as Elohim.

It is similar to how Lukumi Yoruba will say o șe (thank you) to a young man. But when speaking to an elder, they pluralise it and say e șe. The plural is a sign of respect.

Another example is what is called the royal we. European monarchs do not refer to themselves as 'I'. Please fact-check me. They speak of themselves as 'We'.

For example, King Charles III will not say, 'I am happy with you'. Prince William can. But King Charles III will say, 'We are happy with you'.

In the Hebrew Scriptures, Elohim could refer to multiple gods together, such as Molech, Baal and Dagon, which will be collectively called Elohim.

But when they want to refer to the one God on the Throne, they use the term Elohim as a mark of respect.

An example is Genesis 1:1, which starts with 'In the beginning God created'. The Hebrew word used there is Elohim (אֱלֹהִ֑ים), which, as you can see, is different from the el (אֵ֣ל) used in Isaiah 9:6.

So please, don't just say, 'Rubbish', 'Nonsense', 'Go and sit down', 'Rest', or any of the usual things you say when you cannot counter factual statements.

Instead, shame those racists who say that if you want to hide anything from a Black man, put it in a book. Go and read. Maybe if you read more, you will know God more.
Okay,since you speak of John the Baptist,please explain the meaning of what John said in the verse below to me;
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me. John 1:29-32

Kindly show me in John 10 where Jesus claimed to be the Almighty God.
In 10:28,Jesus said, I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. Who can give eternal life except God?

Again in 10:38......He said they you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father... He was talking about His divinity in those words.

Originally,those words,'I and My Father are One' still point to that.Remember the Jews knew what He meant with those words.

Well, according to English language (simple English language), are is used to separate two distinct people or things and if so, it is followed by the word, 'are'

For instance, Tinubu and Shettima are one
My wife and I are one, etc.

When Jesus said the father and himself are one, he never confused his listeners as to whether they were the same person or not.
Jesus later prayed concerning his disciples, 'May they all be one just as the father and I are one and that the disciples may be one in us. John 17:20-23
Indeed he never confused His listeners because the Jews knew what He meant.

In the very next verse;
The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. The Jews who heard Him(and they were religious scholars)knew what he meant and that was why they accused Him of blasphemy.He called Himself God.They knew what He meant when He said 'I and My Father are One'.
Christianity EtcRe: Does The Bible Recognize Jesus As God? by thorpido(m):
seguntijan:
Yeshua, whom we call Jesus, was not and is not God. It is an abomination to call Him God. You may not know that now, because your church doctrines have taken you in that direction and you are so immersed in dogma that you have tunnel vision. But we will all die and give an account to God. So, it is worth taking time to get ready before that day.

There is only One God, who sits on the Throne. He has no partner or equal. Yeshua, whom you call Jesus, is SUBJECT to Him, OBEYS Him, and even PRAYS to Him: Yeshua is the means to get to God. But He is not God and can NEVER be God. There is no Trinity. And this is why I encourage believers to do two things. The first is to read Scripture in its original language and to travel.

We do not know all the facts. God has kept them from us. And we will not add to what He has revealed to us.

Scripture was not written in English. What you have in English is a highly edited European document that has been substantially adulterated to take into account European paganism and occultism, which has its origin in ancient Egypt.

For example, Yeshua (Jesus) did not even die on the Cross. The word Cross is not even in the original Bible.

The word used in the original Greek Scripture is staurō, which may mean a pole or a stake, or the word xylou, which means tree. Read Galatians 3:13 if you really want to know the truth. The translators of the King James Version forgot their instructions and omitted to change the word. And so, that particular verse uses the word ‘Tree’ to indicate where Yeshua (Jesus); died. The NIV uses the word ‘Pole’.'

The original Koine Greek word used in Matthew 16:24 is stauron. And please don't take my word for it. Research it by yourself. The word stauron is an adjective of stauro.

I have been in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in Egypt. The Cross and the Trinity are there. They predate Christianity and are a HIGHLY occult symbol.

What you call a Cross is known in the occult as an Ankh. It was a symbol of eternal life in ancient Egypt. I have attached a photo of the Theban Trinity. I saw it myself in Egypt. You will see Amun and Mut with their son Khonsu. Wisdom, what are they holding in their hands?

There is no Trinity. The word and concept do not exist in Scripture. And Moses warned us about the abomination of the Trinity in Deuteronomy 6:4:

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

As for where Yeshua was born, He was born in Roman-ruled Palestine. The word Palestine is precisely the same word as the Philistine you see in the first five books of Scripture called the Pentateuch. Specifically, he was born in Roman-ruled Palestine, in the Tetrarch governed by Herod.

He was a Jewish Rabbi who never wrote a book and never traveled outside Roman ruled Palestine and Egypt. The Gospels were all written long after He died, with the earliest (Mark) written 65 years after His demise. First Thessalonians and Galatians were written before the Gospels.

And historical records from that time still exist. Israel, as a country, did not exist when Yeshua was born. What is happening to the Palestinians today is almost exactly what the Romans did to the Hebrews during the time of Yeshua's human existence on Earth.

Go and read Scripture by yourself. Assume I am a liar. Assume your church lied to you. Get Scripture in the original language, if possible, and read it for yourself.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

It's funny that you wrote so much but revealed a fact that shows your ignorance about knowledge from the bolded.

Indeed we do not know all the facts but God reveals things to us..... especially people whose hearts are open to learn from Him(not people who know everything like you I quoted).

But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. 1 Corinthians 2:10

In Exodus 6:3 God speaking said, i appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them.

Can you see God's ways?He told Moses Abraham did not have a full knowledge of Me! That's how God is!
If you yield yourself to him to be taught of Him,He will teach you and show you many things.If however you are hung up on having all knowledge that you are unteachable,He will leave you in your ignorance.


By the way,words and names are interpreted in other languages.Saying there is no Jesus in the days the scriptures were written but Yeshua just shows you didn't 'learn' in school but copied. undecided

In John 17:3,Jesus said,and this is life eternal,that they may know You,the only true God, and Jesus whom thou has sent...... Why did He say that they may know You? Because the one they know is NOT YOU! The One Who sent Jesus is NOT the God they know!

I pray for you that the light of God will shine upon your heart.
