@ALHAJI OLABOWALE, imagine vanity just said "JESU NI MASIN" ,they even says GOD is Prince of peace,lion of the tribe of judah, and all sorts of blasphemy,anyways av also said it before but thank GOD now i know the most sweetest attributes to give my GOD,LORD OF THE WORLDS,and it amazes me that its only in ISLAM we dnt use another silly,ignorant attributes to GOD such like,LORD OF lords,our own GOD does not recognise any nonesense dirty god to be existing on earth to be raise in high profile except HIM,ALLAHU AKBAR,ALLAHU AKBAR 1 Like |

I enjoyed the names of GOD in yourba even if I don't know what they mean. I was at a church wedding here and the Pastor started to worship in Yourba and English. My google search on "praising GOD in yourba brought me here. " This is to the Pastor: 1 Pet 2:7 " the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,, " Other versions have it as "corner stone." If oyigigyigi means stone and people had worshiped or praised GOD with that term STONE then it is because Peter had qualified or described Christ in a like manner. Can we go further please? Romans 9:33 " "As it is written, Behold I am laying in Zion a Stone that will make men stumble, a Rock that will make them fall; but he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall not be put to shame nor be disappointed in his expectations." So even if oyigiigii means stone the bible had made the comparison first. There are other verses that describes HIM using the word stone but we need to study the bible carefully and constantly and meditate on it (Josh 1: to see and know that. Thank you Pastor! |
