Funded largely by yaradua but GEJ didn't commission it See Wayo abeg D other one said it wasn't given much attention by Yaradua I'm confused

El Rufai started the project as Minister of FCT but wasn't given much attention by Yaradua and GEJ administration until latter part of his administration. No one should come here and say na GEJ project. The project started with Obasanjo and reached this stage with Buhari.

Also, note that Abuja to Kaduna is the smallest fraction of the project. The entire project is from Lagos to Kano.

To be sincere dz Abuja-Kaduna fast-train is Gej project coz d project is almost completed Unfortunately, he was kicked out Bubu is now the one receiving sincere compliments and praises. Anyway The money used on the project is neither Gej money nor buhari's cash.. What we need is an improvement that will add value to the Society . Dont tell me you will nt use the train just because it was built by GEj and inaugurated by buhari just bcoz u hate him

why are you wasting your time adding balance together. You only need to calculate spent and not balance.

John 17:3 sheds light, bro..

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
There is one true God.
Notice what apostle Paul said here too:
1 Corinthians 8:6:
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

So, I agree with these that there is just one Almighty God.
Cc: Scholar8200.

Absolutely. Jesus is a lesser God to the one true God. Each man is a lord and God in his own domain, but there is just one true God as stated by Jesus in John 17:3. Even when some referred to him as a Good Rabbi or teacher, he rebuked them and referred to the only true God as the good teacher.

Furthermore, when Jesus got baptized the only true God addressed him as his only begotten son in whom he is well pleased. This shows there is someone higher than Jesus. That is the Almighty God, Jehovah.

I noticed that "god" and not "God" mostly appeared in your write up. Could it be that some translators specifically stopped using god and replaced it with God to push their idea of Jesus being equal to God far?

mojeer678:
Yes, Jesus is God. And Hebrews 1:8 is directly referring to the Lord Jesus Christ. I wonder whether you actually read what I wrote. Psalm 45, Proverbs 8, Isaiah 44 and various others established beyond doubt that the Son created the world. I know it is mind-blowing but what else do you expect from the Author of Life?

Maybe this excerpt will assist you:


First, Heb. 1:8 is a quote from Psalm 45:6, which says,

"Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy Kingdom" (All Bible quotes are from the NASB).

In fact, the ASV, KJV, NIV, and NKJV all translated it as "Your throne, O God . . . " The RSV translates it as "Your divine throne endures for ever and ever," "but this is a highly unlikely translation because it requires understanding the Hebrew noun for "throne" in construct state, something extremely unusual when a noun has a pronomial suffix, as this one does . . . The KJV, NIV, and NASB all take the verse in its plain, straightforward sense, as do the ancient translations . . . "1

When we look at the Hebrew, we see that there is no grammatical requirement for this translation though it is considered to be the best translation by most translators. In and of itself, this is not conclusive because the context of this verse in Psalm 45 is dealing with a king which would make one wonder why he would be addressed as God; but, it is not uncommon for NT writers to take a verse in the OT that seemingly deals with one subject and apply it to another. They knew something we didn't. In fact, in Ezekiel 28:12-17 is a section that deals with the fall of the devil. Verse 13 describes how he was in the garden of Eden. Verse 14 says he was the anointed cherub, (v. 15), etc., but the context of this section begins with an address to the king of Tyre (v. 12). Yet, right after Ezekiel is told to write to the King of Tyre, he then goes on to describe what the great majority of theologians agree with--a description of the devil's fall. So, we need to look at the context into which the writer of Hebrews put Psalm 45:6. He addressed it to Jesus. Therefore, Psalm 45 is a Messianic Psalm and must in interpreted in light of the NT not the other way around.

Nevertheless, the context of this verse follows:

"For to which of the angels did He ever say, "Thou are My son, Today I have begotten Thee"? And again, "I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me"? 6And when he again brings the first-born into the world, He says, "And let all the angels of God worship Him." 7And of the angels He says "Who makes His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire." 8But of the Son He says, "Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom, 9Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy companions. 10And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of Thy hands; 11They will perish, but though remainest . . . " (Heb. 1:5-11).

To say "God is your throne" doesn't make sense. What does it mean to say, "But to which of the angels did he say, God is your throne." What would that mean? Is God, Jesus' throne? God alone is on His throne, and He isn't a throne for anyone else.

Also worth noting here is verse 10: "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of Thy hands . . . " This is a quote from Psalm 102:24-25 which says, "I say, 'O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Thy years are throughout all generations. 25Of old Thou didst found the earth; And the heavens are the work of Thy hands.'" Clearly, God is the one being addressed in Psalm 102. It is God who laid the foundations of the earth. Yet, in Heb. 1:10, Jesus is called 'Lord' and is said to be the one who laid the foundation of the earth. This becomes even more interesting when we note that in Isaiah 44:24 it says, "Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, "I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, And spreading out the earth all alone." If God was laying the foundations of the earth alone, that would mean that either Jesus has to be God, second person of the trinity, who laid the foundation the same as YHWH did; or we have a contradiction in the Bible. Clearly this section of Hebrews is proclaiming that Jesus is God. Therefore, contextually, it is best to translate Heb. 1:8 as, "Thy Throne, O God. . ." and the Father call Jesus God.

Maybe you will do well to answer the following questions?

WHY dis Jesus rebuke the man that called him Good Teacher in Mark 10:17-18?

Who was Jesus referring to in John 17:3 as the only true God?

Who was Jesus referring to in John 20:17 as the father he has not yet ascended to?

Toward the end of his Gospel, John summarized matters, saying: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, [not God, but] the Son of God.”— , RS. Why did he not directly mention Jesus as God here?

I have further questions to ask you but I will keep them for now.

It is good that you said that you're a bible student, hence you admitted that you are still learning the truths of the Bible.

In Hebrews 1:1-14, you will read what God Almighty said about Jesus, His Son. Of specific reference for your question is verses 8-11:

Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Heb 1:11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;



You can see that there is no contradiction whatsoever with the fact that Jesus is God, as established in John 1:1.

Cross-reference this with the Divine proclamation at the Transfiguration: This is my well-beloved Son!

God can only give birth to none other than God.

The hatred of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law flowed from the fact that the Son called God His Father, meaning that He made Himself to be same with God. they actually understood it more than contemporaries railers, but what was hidden from them is the light of the truth that how can God walk among men.

There are several other examples which you will come across if you diligently give yourself to serious study, and if you are indeed sincere in learning the truth, and not working with an already set position in your mind, which will lead to greater confusion.

I laughed when I read your explanation. You said Tempem should study the holy bible more so as to get more accurate knowledge of verses in the bible. That is a very good advise. I only hop that you also would study the bible more to understand what message is being passed down.

First and foremost, Apostle Paul was only quoting what was said in another verse of the bible in Hebrews 1:8 and down. For you to fully understand the context he was using the quotes, it would be nice you proceed to Psalm 45 verse 1 downward. You would notice that the verse where God was referred to in the book was to exalt God in relation to his throne and the king who would rule on that throne. That same throne is the one referred to as the Throne of Judah in other verses of the bible. There were other kings that sat on the throne of Judah, notable among whom is King David. Will David then also be referred to as "God"? That question is very pertinent because David was also promised that someone from his lineage will always occupy the throne of Judah for as long as the throne is allowed to exist and that also, the whole world would be blessed through someone from his lineage.

Let me conclude by saying that, the Hebrews 1:8 to 11 never conferred the title of GOD on Jesus Christ.

That's applaudable, bro. So you once served at bethel?

Yea. Served for five years there.

lanicky:
Yes.. I loved him as a friend

Of course. Love can be unconditional. I love a particular babe till date, though I couldn't date her. I knew her far back when I was serving in bethel and loved her since then. Having sex with her has ne'er crossed my mind.
