He's such an honest person. He needs rehabilitation.

No story is complete until we hear the other side.

The victims would probably have a different view

P.S. About rehabilitation, how exactly does that work in this part of the world?

adenigga:
Katsina United has dismissed claims that their player, Chinedu Ozor, has returned to life after being declared dead and taken to a mortuary.

“We implore the public, particularly media outlets and bloggers, to cease the dissemination of this false report and allow the family, teammates, and the football community to mourn Chinedu Ozor with the respect he deserves. May his soul rest in peace.”

May GOD comfort the family and friends.

P.S. By the way, thanks for the professional way you shared this. None of those lengthy boring encyclopedias that some people share as "news"...

MaxInDHouse:
He deliberately chose to be insincere.

How can someone say those verses are not about Messiah even when Daniel explicitly mentioned the "Messiah will be cut off" Daniel 9:26

The guy later turned against the scriptures claiming it's talking about Isaiah!😟

Thanks for your input into this conversation. I appreciate your dedication to the Truth.

The good thing about clearly stating the facts here is that other people are free to read through and make up their minds for themselves.

Unfortunately, anyone who has made up his mind to blindly side haters of the Messiah Jesus Christ will ignore sound reasoning

Glad connecting with you here.

Remain blessed

Thanks for your new response @werisetogether

Let's start with the translation of the Jewish Torah.

The Old Testament: Originally written in Hebrew with some portions in Aramaic, was then translated from Hebrew into Greek.

But the New Testament: Originally written in Greek, later translated into Hebrew. The New Testament was not translated from Hebrew, it went the other direction. These translations of all or part of the New Testament to Hebrew only date back as early as 1360 CE, and these are late medieval/early modern translations into Hebrew, made from the Greek (or from Latin), not the reverse.

So if the New Testament was from original Jewish writers and Jesus Christ in the New Testament is a Jew, then the original New Testament would have been written in Aramaic, which is Jesus Christ's own language, and in Hebrew.
Mind you that Aramaic and Hebrew are still spoken and written today just like Arabic, also Jesus Christ read the Isaiah scroll when He started His ministry, meaning Jesus was literate at that time. There were other Torah writers from thousands of years before, and there are other Jewish writers after the time of Jesus to this day still writing in Hebrew and Aramaic.

Even today Hebrew is still the official language in Israel. Jesus even instructed his disciples, "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel" (Matthew 10:5–6). So now think about this: if Jesus's own mission and instructions were focused on Israel, why were the Gospels not first written in Hebrew or Aramaic, the languages of Jesus and his disciples, but instead first written in Greek, with a Hebrew translation only appearing from around 1360 CE?

The supposed time of the New Testament was like some parts of the Middle East today, which was occupied by the Roman Empire, who tried to impose their own idol worship on the Jews, but the Jews resisted this through different battles led by those claiming to be the messiah to free the Jews from Roman occupation. Then battles were by numbers as both had the same war objects. This was what led to the invention of a gentle Jesus Christ messiah by the Roman Empire as a phycological tool to try and stop the Jews from waging more wars with the Roman Empire.
The New Testament is not a history book, you are expected to just believe without critically questioning what it's talking about.

Did you notice how you shifted goal-posts in your response?

I gave you a short list of Hebrews actively involved in our knowledge of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So surprised you've now turned to the translation of the Tanakh and Greek!

These kinds of stunts should be left for political parties na!

On a serious note, your latest response shows you're probably sourcing your info from the rabbis I referred to much earlier. The ones who were antagonistic towards the Lord Jesus Christ

To suggest that events that are verifiable even by non-Biblical historians were made up by Roman authorities speaks more of either refusal to do research or just plain mischief...

Hardcore11:
I'm getting to 40 no money to start a business, no money to start a serious relationship no woman wants to listen to you if you're not making money. I don't want to go into fraud. my certificate looks like a wasted time. My friends keeps telling me to get into yahoo before I regrets everything that it's the only way out for a poor man in the current Nigeria. All my friends are getting married with yahoo money...I'm really depressed

Glad you shared the burden here

But could you possibly be listening to the wrong type of advice?

Who told you that you're competing with anyone?

Have you reached out to anyone in your extended family for support?

Could the issue be deeper than just lack of money?

I know. A lot of questions.

But I hope they'll help you take a different look at your situation so you can have a clearer idea of the next steps to take.

Praying for you...

It was a demon who started the evil conversation and who dropped the first Lie the world had never had before

Thanks for sharing

With all the research into the brain and the mind, it's easy to be deceived into ignoring the supernatural dimension of life

Why would the Son of GOD have to die for humanity if the issue was simply about us not watching our thoughts well?

The Bible speaks of doctrines of demons, so demons even teach sef. (Using human vessels, of course)

Thanks again

Thanks for your detailed response, @MindHacker9009

Appreciate the thought you put into it. And you do have a right to your opinion.

However, I don't agree with certain aspects of your logic.

For instance: you said:

The same logic applies to a non-Hebrew-speaking tradition telling Jewish readers what their own scripture "really" says.

Correct me if I'm missing anything, but this seems to assume that the revelation of Jesus Christ as Messiah is a non-Hebrew speaking tradition.

That is NOT true.

Isaiah was Hebrew

Jesus Christ was born Hebrew

Paul was Hebrew

Peter was Hebrew

Apart from Luke who wrote the Gospel according to Luke and the Book of Acts, every other book of the New Testament was written by a Hebrew.

Let's face it: certain sections of the Hebrew community had beef with the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, several documents containing their bitter condemnation of Him still survive.

You won't expect them to acknowledge the truth about Him, would you?

I'm grateful to GOD for the availability of various materials today where we all can do our independent research.

While we certainly have a right to our opinions, the truth is not a matter of opinion.

Thanks again and GOD bless

Thanks for sharing your experience, @Saleslourd

Glad you made it clear it's your experience

As an introvert myself, I find the performance that goes on in much of what is called Christianity today frankly tiring

"Tell your neighbour..."

"Go round and shake 15 people and say..."

"Bring out your handkerchiefs..."

"Bend down low..."

"Let me hear you say 'uh-huh, uh-huh'..."

The good news is these things are not Scriptural. And do not have any basis in saving anyone.

Let me give an example with Nairaland.

Are there posts here that are plain brain-numbing? Sure

But does that make Nairaland an evil platform?

Some may jump to that conclusion.

I am not one of them.

I have personally connected with great people through this same platform where the prevailing noise on the front page can make you wonder about the future of our Nigerian youth

Here's my point:

If we want everyone to be like us, the world will be exceedingly boring.

See the performance stunts for what they are, but don't let them dictate your relationship with GOD through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanks again for starting this conversation

Thanks for sharing, @MindHacker9009

Glad you began your piece with these words: "In traditional Jewish expectation"

Because traditional Jewish expectation doesn't define truth.

For instance, there are languages that do not have words to define certain concepts and realities.

Don't remember the language I read of sometime where they don't have the word for the colour "red". So for them, that colour doesn't exist

But is that true?

Isaiah 53 has baffled Jewish scholars with its message and implications. And this was written about 700 years before Jesus Christ

Thanks again for bringing this up

@gloriousinvite

Reminds me of the Scriptures

"Looking up to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith"

Lovelink1991:
A Nigeria lady who lives in Germany narrated her encounter in Germany which made her believe that this heaven of a thing is a thing of the black people and pastors don't care about you but themselves only.

Pastor always wants you to always come to church so that you can fund their lifestyle not because of Heaven or Hell

Thanks for sharing

False brethren have always been around. Even Apostle Paul referred to them in the Bible.

There are people who are preaching the Gospel just to get paid, people "whose god is their belly"

It's another thing altogether to assume that ALL pastors are doing the same thing.

That's NOT true.

Personal Bible study is vital for spiritual growth. There are questions about life that no one can answer except GOD.

Charlatans go always dey, but they do not invalidate the Truth...

Even as we read this, there are people who are languishing behind bars like this man was.

What can our civil society organizations and missions initiatives do to free such people?

What can be done proactively about people who openly declare their disregard for other people's humanity?

Or are we to wait until they commit some dastardly act before we react?
