Pls can u explain this verse when u said Jesus is God;
1 Timothy 2:5
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

plaetton:

You are avoiding the point.
Mainly that: jesus sinned when he lost his temper and attacked the merchants in the temple. This is a clear case of vandalism by a religiously obsessed individual.
It was not tolerated then , and is not tolerated today.

bolaino: one thing I know is that christians can never be able to give a reasonable explanation for the alleged death of their savior, cos like they claim jesus was the sacrificial lamb who paid a price to redeem mankind,

but that brings a whole new perspective to the whole story, who was the price paid to? Was it the devil? Or he paid the price to himself? If the price was paid to the devil that goes to show that the devil is more powerful than God/jesus, if the price was paid to God/jesus then that also goes to show us how blood thirsty he is, either way this story is all bull.shyte,

Dominiquez:



When I look at you I see a person that devil has decided to destroy. MARK MY WORDS! What happened to judas awaits you and all those that supports you. Where are those super stars that dare compare themselves with Christ? Beetle and co? You don't play with God and you play with the work of salvation of men. I see you crashland. Am so sure you won't go far in life. Just pitying your family for giving birth to a waste like you.

dulphines:

Please, to start with it is Jesus not jesus. If you are not a Christain or have belief in Christainity, why don't you keep mute rather than write all these and incure the wrath of God. May God forgive you your sins, wash away your inequities and bring you to life everlasting through Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

Debroslink:

U BUILD A MANSION ON LAGOS-IBADAN EXPRESSWAY AND GOVERNMENT CAME AND DESTROYED IT. WHOSE FAULT? WILL GOVERNMENT COMPENSATE YOU? PEOPLE WERE BUYING AND SELLING IN GOD'S HOUSE, AND U EXPECT JESUS TO OVERLOOK IT? MAY U REALISE UR ERROR AND BEG 4 4GIVENESS B4 IT'S 2 LATE.

THE BIBLE SAYS: BE YE ANGRY AND SIN NOT

adoniza: According to the bible God is "Omniscience" and so he knows everything.

My question is, if God (Omniscience) already knows everything, including who goes to heaven and whow goes to hell, then "are we not on replay"??

God (also Omnipotent) already knew that Osama Bin Ladin would be born in the 20th century, and that he would mastermind and attack that would kill 3,000 people in 2001 (God did nothing to stop him) and that 10 years later he would be killed by U.S navy seal 6 and then go to hell for his sins. "And yet he created him"

WHY??

Maybe he wanted those 3,000 dead anyway, no??


THEN WHY??

plaetton:

Big laugh.
I am resisting the urge to use derog words here.

By your silly analogy, jesus was the government?

Even if so, government have rules for public safety. Government takes actions against individual through a legal process. Government investigates, prosecutes and judges trespassers. Government does not encourage individuals to take laws into their own hands. Jungle justice is discouraged.

The merchants had rights, and there is no evidence whatsoever, that they were violating any laws. Roman laws , enforced by centurions, were sufficient to maintain the peace.
Jesus, in this particular case, was the interloper and trespasser.

This is why I said you need to ask.

Jesus was indeed angry, anger borne out of the passion of his creator who has sent him, and when they defiled the place (the supposed temple), holiest of the holy. His emotion was shown through anger, besides the Bible said "In anger, DO NOT SIN" - Eph 4-26.

We try to justify anger with destructive activity whereas in reality, anger is mere emotion, but it advises you in anger, we should control our anger like "bridle your tongue". If you're angry for the right reasons and you do not sin in the course of it, Glory be to GOD.

manny4life:

My own understanding of the Bible, GOD NEVER CREATED EVIL. Yall should get it straight.

Vanneni: WE TINY HUMANS WITH OUR LITTLE LIMITED BRAINS CANNOT REASON OUT HOW OUR CREATOR WORKS! HIS WAYS ARE UNREASONABLE MOST TIMES BUT HE SAYS TO TAKE IT BY FAITH.

Amhappy: During the Roman reign a lot of people were crucified for a lot of reasons. Even the thieves that died with Christ were crucified but Christ Death on the cross is so special and different. Why

He is God(Our Creator)
At the time of His death,He was truely God and truely man(He took flesh so he felt the pains and injuries)
He chose to die(He took it upon himself to die,Selfless Sacrifice)
He died for us while we are still sinners
He died in our place(We were condemned by the sin of Adam and paradise was taken away from us.We are supposed to be the one to die by law of justice)
He gave us the power to call God 'Father' again
His death brought the mercy of God
His death bought us salvation and eternal life
Finally He didn't just die,He resurrected on the third day giving us hope that if we die in him,we will resurrect on the last day

plaetton:

You crack me up. really!
I am glad that agree that jesus was angry, angry to the point of destroying other people's property, a destructive anger.
That is sin as far as I am concerned.
Sincerely asking, could he not have achieved the goal of driving them out, perhaps, in a peaceful and negotiated manner?
And most importantly, is there any evidence that the merchants permanently stayed out thereafter?
The whole excercice was not only sinful, but in vain
And you say it is born out of passion of his creator? Do you know that same can be said of BOKO HARAMI ?
I can't stop laughing.
But wait, God created jesus? I thought jesus was god?
Oh boy, I am confused o.
I guess you are not a trinitarian.
You guys should please make up your minds.

Daresh: Everyone has their belief and I believe what he did was a big deal. It is because of what he did that you write this freely without getting struck down from heaven. He loves me without knowing me and wants me to live with him in heaven. So yes it is a big deal for me, Thank you Jesus, for dying so I might live.

ifeness:


Imao! If he died for you and all debts have been paid, why do you still go to church,why pay tithes and other religious craps! Since you paid your debt,why are you still in the bondage of forceful weekly worship to a sky entity?

You have got it wrong!!

No debt was paid.. However, a micro finance bank was provided. So if you sin, you withdraw the blood of Jesus to pay for your sin and use your Life as collateral..

manny4life:

Well, they have rules and regulations, no doubt but explain what happens if you're caught in in front of a government bldg selling pirated dvds, swindling people and committing all sort of abominable crimes like those traders did, what will the govt do first?

Merchants have rights? Where? Hypothetically, had King Cyrus who built that temple had known their evil deeds, do you think they will not be beheaded? Abeg, you can beat and dance around this issue, it will not help your cause

damosky12:

in Science the life of a Man comes from the spermatozua. Without the spermatozua, the baby is lifeless. So Jesus was born without spermatozua but by the Holyghost overshadowing a virgin and virginity in the old testament dipicts Holyness. The Life Jesus had was not a life from Man (but from the Holyghost) and he was born of a virgin (HOLY WOMAN). So, He was born Holy. Nobody was ever born that way not even John the baptist. Think about it! Any more questns?

bolaino: It's a question that should be answered with utmost sincerity, with all honesty and with no religious bias (but I doubt my christian folks will be able to do that).

But let's examine the death of jesus, christians from time immemorial have given us the illusion that it was the greatest and noblest thing any man or God could have done for his people, by paying the ultimate price, ( giving up his life),

But I chose to disagree, in the case of jesus, he is said to be God, and he created all things, having this knowledge how would coming to earth and dying and going back to splendor a big deal? I know of people who have gone through a lot worse for no reward at all, not to talk about jesus, who is supposed to be the beginning and the end, this should have been like a walk in the park for him.

But it was'nt, even knowing fully well that he was going to rise up again and be praised in heaven and on earth for all eternity, he was still scared, begging himself in heaven not to allow the whole thing happen.

Personally I would go through all jesus went through just to be given one billion dollars, I know of people who would go through same tin or even worse for less, did jesus suffer more than the slaves in america? Or did he suffer more than the people who were tortured and beaten to death, in places like cambodia, uganda, rwanda etc, the answer is No, so christians should stop saying how difficult it was for jesus to lay his life down for sinners.

rayahmad:

ADAM WAS BORN WITHOUT SPERMATOZUA BUT HE IS A MAN...GOD DID DAT,GOD CAN DO ANYTIN. JESUS WAS A MAN FILLED WITH HOLINESS AND CLEANLINESS. AND OUR GOD CAN DO ANYTIN, GOD ONLY SAY TO IT BE AND IT IS.

Okija_juju:

Obviously his ways are very unreasonable..

A God!! That knew that his creations would eat from a fruit that was bad for them, yet he placed it within their reach.. then when they ate the fruit (as he already knew they would), he got angry and punishes them..

If that isnt a set-up, then I wonder..

Daresh:

Our Bible says the wages of sin is death. It is God's word and it cannot change not even for his son's sake. If you remember in the Old Testament, they used to sacrifice animals to wash away their sins as it is clearly written that one blood can wash away the sin of man. Jesus became the ultimate sacrificial lamb and his blood washed away all of our sins. So now instead of a sacrifice, we call on the blood of Jesus to wash us clean.
Now I don't know why we need blood to wash away our sin but if God says so then it's good enough for me. The price of Jesus blood was paid to God the father. Thank you Jesus.
