Jozzy4:According to my Bible, God described Himself as "I AM".... and pray tell where angels used the term "I AM". |
Jozzy4:Good question. To understand Jesus as God on earth praying to His Father in heaven, you need to realize that the eternal Father and the eternal Son had an eternal relationship before Jesus took upon Himself the form of a man. Please read John 5:19-27 , particularly verse 23 where Jesus teaches that the Father sent the Son (also John 15:10 ). Jesus did not become the Son of God when He was born in Bethlehem. He has always been the Son of God from eternity past, still is the Son of God, and always will be. Prophet Isaiah prophesized about 500 years before Jesus came to the world in Isaiah 9:6 that the Son was given and the Child was born. Jesus was always part of the tri-unity (trinity), along with the Holy Spirit. The tri-unity always existed, the Father God, the Son God, and the Spirit God, not three gods, but one God existing as three persons. Jesus taught that He and His Father are one (John 10:30 ), meaning that He and His Father are of the same substance and the same essence. The Father, Son and Spirit are three co- equal persons existing as God. These three had, and continue to have, an eternal relationship. When Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took upon Himself sinless humanity He also took on the form of a servant, giving up His heavenly glory ( Philippians 2:5-11 ). As the God-man, He had to learn obedience ( Hebrews 5:8 ) to His Father as He was tempted by Satan, accused falsely by men, rejected by His people, and eventually crucified. His praying to His heavenly Father was to ask for power (John 11:41-42 ) and wisdom ( Mark 1:35 , 6:46 ). His praying showed His dependence upon His Father in His humanity to carry out His Father's plan of redemption, as evidenced in Christ's high priestly prayer in John 17 . His praying demonstrated that He ultimately submitted to His Father's will, which was to go to the cross and pay the penalty (death) for our breaking God's law ( Matthew 26:31-46 ). Of course, He rose bodily from the grave, winning forgiveness and eternal life for those who repent of sin and believe in Him as the Savior. So there is no problem with God the Son praying or talking to God the Father. As I mentioned, they had an eternal relationship before Christ became a man. This relationship is depicted in the Gospels so we can see how the Son of God in His humanity carried out His Father's will, and in doing so, purchased redemption for His children ( John 6:38 ). Christ’s continual submission to His heavenly Father was empowered and kept focused through His prayer life. Christ’s example of prayer is ours to follow. Jesus Christ was no less God on earth when praying to His Father in heaven. He was depicting how even in sinless humanity it is necessary to have a vital prayer life in order to do His Father’s will. Jesus' praying to the Father was a demonstration of His relationship within the Trinity and an example for us that we must rely on God through prayer for the strength and wisdom we need. |
Jozzy4:Yes He is. Jesus is part of the Holy trinity.... Remember I said He revealed His name as "I AM" in the old testament. Jesus also describes Himself this way in the new testament. Simply put, Jesus is God manifest in the Flesh. Man was also made in the triune nature of God (i.e Body, Soul and Spirit). www.nairaland.com/1939388/god-trinity-man-trinity-created#36639084 |
Emotionz:ok, Give us your reasoning. |
Jozzy4:He is the "I AM", Jehova. Our God. |
God2man:True |
Even all those who have been raised from the dead kept on preaching about God...Just that the devil has succeded in blinding some people. it will take Jesus to remove those blindfolds. |
KingEbukasBlog:lol, you don finish am. |
Jozzy4:God is the Creator of the Heavens and the earth. The Creator of Man and the senses he is so reliant on for knowledge. God is God, from everlasting to everlasting. |

BarrElChapo:Mansa musa I comes behind him. Experts believe mansa musa's worth to be $400b as of today (estimated due to inflation), credit to gold and salt that came from the malian empire... But did you know that just two generations later after his death, his record net worth was gone. Many people still feed on the "remains" of rockefeller till date. |
Jeromejnr:As in ehn. |
BuddhaPalm:I did before i posted it here. and naah, they couldnt handle this one... |
dalaman:Contradictions?, well i only know that the devil pleasures in deceiving people. If the Jews do not believe it had anything to do with Jesus, the Bible is our Guide, not a people. Here is what the prophet Isaiah said in the old testament about our saviour, about 600 years before Jesus' time on Earth: "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5). The prophecy of prophet Daniel who lived 500 years before Jesus (Yeshua) was also recorded in the book of daniel in the old testament: "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed". - Daniel 7:13-14 The prophecy of prophet Micah in the old testament in Micah 5:2 – “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village in Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past.” Deuteronomy records the words of Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15 – “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites, and you must listen to that prophet.” Prophet zechariah is not left out; Zechariah 9:9 – “Rejoice greatly, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey – even on a donkey’s colt.” If these ones could believe, then im less concerned about who does not believe. God's word stand for ever and ever. Once again, God is the author of the Bible.... 2 tim 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, |
dalaman:God is the author of the Bible. The men He used were inspired, over 40 of them over different centuries. Many of the authors God used didnt even know each other, and they wrote in cohesion. The totality of the Bible focuses on a particular plan. Jesus. Dont limit yourself to common sense, everything is never as it seems just like owl city sang in fireflies. Get out of your cage and explore understanding. You will surely find something. Bless you. |
theAtheist101:You are looking for answers. The senses you call common has been entrusted into your hands by the giver of senses. Make do with what you have before your appointed time. |
dalaman:Sir Ambrose Fleming was a very intelligent inventor, he recognized that the Bible was written by divine inspiration...Congratulations to you if you think otherwise...if most of the quotes are false, then probe it with facts or shut it. |
theAtheist101:Nobody offers salvation but Jesus, No sect offers redemption but Jesus. In Him we live and have our being. if the fear you mean is the fear of God, yes we fear Him. Fear as used in the Bible means consciousness of our Creator (Yirat Adonai). We have wisdom because the fear of God is the begining of wisdom, and wisdom is the principal thing. The existence of your maker is not probable neither is it debatable...You are because He is....Your senses that you are so reliant on for knowledge was given to you. i hope you find what you seek soon. |

firefox4th:None of them comes close to King solomon, His wealth was worth trillions of todays Dollar, He sold to Kings and their nations and still cannot be fully quantified. (wikipedia is your friend).... Experts believe mansa musa's worth to be $400b as of today (estimated due to inflation), thanks to gold and salt that came from his country... But did you know that just two generations later after his death, his record net worth was gone. Many people still feed on the "remains" of rockefeller till date. |
