Believe this at your own peril

You have been a talebearer and as such you are suffering for it. Stop meddling between two brothers and see how things will change for you

There are natural laws in play irrespective of your belief and acknowledgment of God's existence. Such an example would be the law of sowing and reaping, which works for the believer and unbeliever ; the good and the bad ; the righteous and the wicked .

But what truly separates the believer from the unbeliever is his trust in Jesus to grant him eternal life in the hereafter. For we all will die one day, and will certainly face a greater judgement of our deeds in this life .

I cant blame the man , after all Islam allows such practices

BItt:



But at least they are fighting for a just cause.
The hunger today will become a thing of the past if truth and fairness is achieved.

If you read the news you will understand better

Your delusion is strong...

Hungry set of people

Islam

Nice

Dont buy dollar...buy Gold . It's a better hedge against inflation, especially now that Trump is making policies that can really harm the dollar worldwide

ebubeson:
If a Christian separates himself and decides not to engage in exam malpractice, bribery and corruption, some other Christians may say "you are doing too much". Amongst these compromising Christians that may say "you are doing too much"; we may have some who speak in tongues, sing in choir, evangelize, preach e.t.c.

Do you know some Christians that come late to work sometimes, may put an early time instead of putting the actual time they came to work? Some may bribe their way through a process and may come share testimony that God has done it for them. Some in offices may inflate prices of what they want to purchase or contract to be done e.t.c, against the original price, so that they may get ungodly gain.

Christianity is not just about praying for hours, shouting fire, rolling on the floor during worship, dancing to praise God, speaking in tongues, serving seriously in church department, giving in church project, preaching well on the pulpit, reading bible e.t.c, it also entails being righteous, doing things that are righteous, avoiding exam malpractice, bribery, corruption. God will be happy if a genuine Christian fails an exam because he or she decides not cheat. He also wants the same Christian to do well in succeeding in the right way.

Christians should stop engaging in exam malpractice, bribery and corruption because it is a sin. It is a shame that many Christians cannot endure the right way all because they need earthly benefits. God rewards those who obey Him, depend on Him and follow the right way.

Today is another day with a bright and beautiful chance. Please genuinely say this prayer " Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you are my provider and you can help me so much when I show integrity, please forgive all my sins and all the exam malpractice, bribery and corruption I have ever done. Please come into my life, break the yoke and power of sin in Jesus name. Amen"

Mathew 5:16 " Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven"

Happy Sunday to you. Please go to a good church today.

You're right but the truth is most Christians don't help each other; we despise ourselves and would rather make the process hard for the brethren.

AngelahFlo:

Jesus wasn't just God's Son, He was God in the Flesh which was why He was referred to as the Word of God. When you read the early verses of John 1, you'll see where He was referred to as the one in whom all things were created by. Which means when God was creating the world, Jesus was the creative force bringing those things to expression.
It's a mystery
Jesus is God (the Son)

We are saying the same thing . Jesus is God the Son , who happens also to be God

MaxInDHouse:

It's OK let's leave it at what each person believes after reading the Bible!

Once again thanks for your time! Titus 3:9 compare to Proverbs 29:9

Oga, you are quoting verses that do not give you the big picture. Jesus said many things about Himself...and He even went further to ask people who they thought He was. So quoting a handful of verses will never change the FACT that Jesus is God incarnate, who died , rose again and is sitted at the right-hand of God the Father.

Lastly , why didnt you read Titus 2: 13 ...or are you scared of that place because it does not sit well with Charles Russell Taze JW doctrine?

MaxInDHouse:

Please face the OP he is the one asking question not me i only used God's word to answer when you quoted me.

Thanks for your time!

Nah you did not. You chose to reject what Jesus said about Himself. Which is why I can't reason with you ...

MaxInDHouse:

Well i wasn't here for you it's the OP that i'm interested in telling the truth from the Bible that Jesus is God's Son not God. John 3:16

Thanks for your time!

But according to JW , Jesus is angel Michael, and not the son of God.

MaxInDHouse:


So are you saying Jesus contradicted himself?

That's your opinion...I am just telling you what Jesus said about Himself. It is left for you to take it or tear it out of your JW scripture

MaxInDHouse:


Jesus said:

The father is GREATER THAN him! John 14:28

Jesus said alot of things about Himself .

And what you just quote is one of the many...

MaxInDHouse:


Simple question:

Is Jesus equal to his father?

The bible already say that

And I gave references.

John 10:30

John 1:1-8

John14:9

1 Timothy 3:16

Phillipian 2:6-11

Isaiah 9:6




Jesus is walking, talking , breathing God

MaxInDHouse:

Do you know the difference between equal to and greater than

Jesus said:

You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, for the Father is GREATER THAN I am. John 14:28

Jesus said his father is GREATER THAN him which means he is lesser to his father but you are now changing what he himself said!

You are twisting words I never said



To answer you, see what Paul the apostle writes[b] who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.[/b] Phillipians 2:6-11

This very verse says that Jesus is equal to God(the Father ).

Kobo don get Yiutube channel? Thank God o...at least she fit continue dey work instead of disgracing herself under the auspices of "selling all" for Christ.

MaxInDHouse:

Throw stones at him because they were annoyed at his statement

Nope...

To them, He was blaspheming ...and that was an offense punishable by death

MaxInDHouse:

Where is that written in the Bible o?

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit(Mat28:19)

Jashub:
I never said Jesus and His Father were the same person Oga....I only said that Jesus is God and so is His Father: one God , three persons .

Secondly, Jesus praying to His Father does not make him any less equal to God . After all, the same bible in scripture (Heb1:8.) ,says : But about the Son He says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom



From this verse , even the Father acknowledges and calls the Son God.

MaxInDHouse:


This is a lie because when Jesus prayed he begged his father saying:

“Father, if you want to, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.” Luke 22:42

Clearly Jesus is not the same person otherwise they can't have different opinion, here Jesus is telling his God and father that this situation is unpalatable for him so the father should change it but as he believes his father knows best he is willing to yield!

I never said Jesus and His Father were the same person Oga....I only said that Jesus is God and so is His Father: one God , three persons .

MaxInDHouse:

This is the same thing Jesus meant when he utter the statement you quoted!

False. Jesus uttered the initial statement and His listener wanted to throw stones at Him. Get your facts right

Petalss:

So that makes them how many God?

It is just one God bros.

Just think of it like water in the form of steam, ice and regular liquid : just because the state of changes doesn't mean it is not water . Same applies here with Jesus, His Father and the Holy Spirit: three persons but one God

MaxInDHouse:


What about:

I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. John 17:22

So i'm God since i'm one with the father the same way Jesus is one with the father, shey?

You confuse the verse.

In the verse you quoted, Jesus is specifically referring to oneness in thought , loved , purpose and belief...which is why if you go on further in verse 23 He said : ..I in them , and you in Me, that they may be made perfect in one(love) , and that the world may know know you sent Me(purpose)

Jesus in this age is not taking about humans being equal with Him, but that they , believing on Him , will the same purpose that Godhead (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit)have.

delkuf:
maxi you and twisting the biblical na 5 and 6.
The Bible said no one has seen God at any time but the only begotten son but you twisted it and said the only begotten god.
What do you want gain with this twisting and false doctrine.

It is a JW tactic ...really feel sorry for them

MaxInDHouse:


You've repeated what Jesus said at John 10:30 which means he is in full agreement with his God and father just as we Christians are one with our God! John 17:22

Jesus called us his brothers and said:

“Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” John 20:17

So Jesus is my brother and because he's God's anointed King he is my lord but as for our God and father Jesus is not that one rather Jesus and i have the same God and father!

You still do not get it. Jesus told His listeners that I and My Father are one (John10:30)...which does not translate to agreement; it translates to I-am -equal -to -God. Which is why they wanted to stone Him...

You don't get stoned for agreeing with God. You get stoned for claiming to be God(aka blasphemy)

MaxInDHouse:


Well this is contrary to what Jesus taught and what his disciples believe.

Regarding Psalms 110:1

Peter (a born again Christian in the first century) said:

For David did not ascend to the heavens, but he himself says, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’ Act 2:34-35

Jehovah (YWWH) spoke to Jesus not Jesus speaking to Jesus or Jehovah speaking to Jehovah.

In the first century Jesus said:

I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me. John 5:30

Jesus' disciples said:

The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a stake. Act 5:30

Paul told the Jews:

During his life on earth, Christ offered up supplications and also petitions, with strong outcries and tears, to the One who was able to save him out of death, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear. Hebrews 5:7

So both Jesus and his disciples told us that he (Jesus) is God's Son not God! John 3:16; Matthew 16:13-16

Thanks!

[/b] For David did not ascend to the heavens, but he himself says, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’ Act 2:34-35[b]

This scripture is referring to a report of what David saw; he was an observer.

Secondly, Jesus blatantly told his listeners that "I and my Father(God Almighty) are one"(John10:30 ). And to them , this was blasphemous...and they knew what He was saying, which is why they picked up stones to throw at Him.

Even Philip at one time challenged Jesus to show Him the Father , and Jesus blankly told him(Philip) , that anyone who has seen me has seen the Father (John14:9).

So anyone disagreeing is just disagreeing with what Jesus said about Himself

MaxInDHouse:


You didn't answer the question.

How many lords do you know in the Bible?

Or better still tell me which among these two is YHWH:
‬
The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” Psalms 110:1 NIV

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psalms 110:1 KJV

Please which between the two is YHWH?

Oga, the Hebrews used a particular context to specify what kind of lord they were referring.
Which is why the translators used capitals in referring to Adonai(Lord)

To answer your second question:

YHWH...is both of them. That scripture is referring to the God the Father, saying to Jesus ( God the son ) to sit at his right hand .


Jesus is God and so is the Father , and the Holy Spirit. All three are one God (John10:30)

MaxInDHouse:


How many lords do you know in the Bible?

This is the Hebrew translation of Isaiah 6:1:


בשנת מות המלך עזיהו ואראה את אדני ישב על כסא רם ונשא ושוליו מלאים את ההיכל׃


The word used us Adonai

In Hebrew, "Adonai" (אֲדֹנָי) means "my Lord" and is a title used to refer to God. It is often used in Jewish prayer and scripture as a way to address God with reverence. The term is derived from the root word "adon," which means "lord" or "master." In religious contexts, "Adonai" is used as a substitute for the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), the sacred name of God in Judaism, particularly when reading scripture aloud.

So , are trying to tell us that Adonai (a sacred name) was used by Jewish writers carelessly?

MaxInDHouse:

You are chatting with a Bible believer so i know what verse you want to quote anytime you make reference to the word of my God.

Jesus is not God that's why verse 18 in that chapter said:

"No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him" John 1:18

Nobody has seen God but people saw Jesus!

Isaiah 6:1

In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple
