Why am I creating this topic? I create this topic to enlighten the world and to also get enlightened from people's inputs.

I sometimes see some Muslims singing Christian songs, and I reason within me how more peaceful, united and harmonious the world can become if we all realized that the universal God is one and God doesn't have a religion. Religions are merely pathways to God, created by man, sometimes with the help and inspirations of the holy spirit. However the supreme pathway to God is to worship God in spirit, truth and uprightness.

Why was the old testament and new testament mixed together? There are actually two different religious text, the old testament belongs to the Judaism religion and the new testament was created by the followers of Jesus.
This was done in a bid to paint Jesus as the messiah of the Jews prophesied about, the Jews till this day reject Jesus as their messiah, pointing out that he didn't fulfill the messianic prophecies. Yet some people continue to force Jesus on the Jews.

In the old testament for example, the Jewish god pointed out that he was a jealous unforgiving god that visits the sins of the fathers upon the children. In the new testament Jesus pointed out that the universal God is love and ever forgiving.

For a God that never changes, this is contradictory, but of course Jesus wasn't talking about the Jewish God, he never mentioned Jehovah. Jehovah is not mentioned in the new testament, Jesus always or usually addressed God as Father or simply God.
God doesn't have a name, what is the use of a name? A name distinguishes or differentiates, for the universal God without equal, beginning or end, what is the use of a name?
We can of course address God with honorable titles, however God doesn't have a birth, native or specific name. He is what he is.

Jesus is not God, he repeatedly pointed this out in many bible verses but some people insist on twisting things.
In John 14:28 Jesus said the father is greater than I am.
In Mark 10:18 he said why do you call me good, nobody is good except God.
Jesus prays, who does he pray to if he is God.

Jesus said things like I and the father are one and if you see me, you have seen God, however he simply meant that the spirit of God dwells in him and he is a good representative of God. The spirit of God dwells in all of us, so same can also be said of every Godly upright human. That is why Jesus said everything you do to another human, you do to me and God.

You don't have to fight for God, this shouldn't bring malice. If you have a contrary opinion or something to say, just voice it politely. Nobody knows it all, we are all learners.

To be continued.

MaxInDHouse:


What is righteousness?
Did the thief @ Luke 23 go to God's Kingdom?

Was he righteous before that day?

MaxInDHouse:
What is the Kingdom of God?

David0002:


So what you are saying is that you can go on sinning, as long as you believe in Christ.

David0002:

If you are committing sin, you are unrighteous.

AntiMarxist:


Because the state has the powers to arrest , detain and interrogate any one engaged in treasonable felony and terrorism.


He should have cleared his name if innocent instead of trying to sneak out of the country to avoid the invitation.

This is bad optics and when the DSS takes him to court seeking a remand order to conclude their investigation , no judge will object this after he refused to honour their invitation and was caught sneaking out of the country to the same destination nation the prime suspect a Briton is from.


By the way NLC President does not enjoy immunity .

Because he goes about the title doesn't confer on him similar immunity as the executive.

AntiMarxist:

So before Nigeria can be all inclusive we must dash Ibo the power reigns ?

AntiMarxist:


The question you should ask yourself is why are the Ibos now suddenly so desperate for power?

All of them are in unison on this agenda just as they also bound together in their expansionst quest aka Biafra .

The Ibo man has kept telling you that for true reconciliation from the civil war they must be given power.

These are a people who refuse any wrongdoing

and deny vehmently in the face of raw evidence the atrocities they committed on minority people .

You will expect they will do the honourable thing and apologise sincerely to Nigerians , the victims of their senseless coup and the hundreds of communities in the SS that their Biafra war criminals sacked during the war

No. Instead they went to town crying victim and blaming everyone else.[/,quote]Blame everyone else of what?
Were you there during the civil war or coup?
Why then will anyone blame you?
[quote]
And now they have come to demand from you the power to rule you and you are foolishly considering their useless demands ?

Nigeria does not owe the Ibo man anything more than Nigeria owes any other nationality.

achorladey:


When we know prophet in the Bible teach.

AntiMarxist:


You are spewing trash.

Is it the right of any nationality or tribe to rule Nigeria ?

Did the Ibos not have the earliest opportunity via both civilian democracy and later their Ibo quasi military dictatorship that messed things up ?

You are championing Ibo right to power as if there is a line of succession to power based on ethnicity. If so, what of the Efik, the Igala, the Binis, the Jukums and other 360 ethnicities in Nigeria ? Are they lesser than the Ibo in Nigeria that the Ibo man has to cut in line ?

What even made you assume that power must follow an ethnic train ?

Are we not practicing democracy ?

You are here using ethnicity to demand power rotation to Ibos and when others vote their own, you gasslight them as tribalists ?

You no get one kobo sense for head.

Nigerians do not owe the Ibo man anything.

If at all, they were lucky not to have paid severe war reparations and also have their war criminals tried and hung for their war crimes.

Stop defending Ibo ethnic bigotry and hypocrisy.

AntiMarxist:


Virtually every national in Nigeria moved on after the war.

Ibos began resettling across Nigeria and began to pick up their lives without any form of discrimination that is until Nnamd Kanu came out of the woodwork and began revisiting and twisting the events leading to the war and reinforcing the Ibo victim mentality. It did not just stop at that, but IPOB went to town castigating every other Nigerian national and their political figures at that time as enemies and haters of Ibos. Kanu did all these with glowing support from among the Ibos who began to hate their fellow Nigerians

When Nigerians began countering their lies, they recoiled back to their shells with this same argument you are making.

Also, all the foolishness of the early Zikists that saw to the coup of Jan 15 and later the war are being championed by the Ibos of today. They have come to see their actions leading to the war as noble whereas this isn't the case.

If then they are bound by their stupidity to repeat the foolishness of their grandparents based on revisionist lies echoed by the likes of IPOB and other fictional author characters like Achebe and Chiamanda, it is only natural that the same strong negative emotions that they aroused from their past foolish actions will naturally recieve the reciprocal hate they are sowing amongst their people.

Take for example IPOB's ambition to annex the same SS under their Biafra which virtually every Ibo has now come to see as theirs to conquer and occupy. This was what lead to Ojukwu declaring Biafra after Gowon carved the minority peoples out of the old eastern region. Ojukwu will drag the SS people into his Biafra without consultation and begin a slow genocide of the people using the fog of war. Ojukwu will later extend his madness to the neutral Midwest and repeat his pogrom on the hapless civilians while claiming he was "liberating" them from the Hausa Fulani jihadists. Did Ojukwu consult any one in the SS to join his Biafra ? No. Same thing is happening with Kanu and his IPOB who without any regard to the people of the SS has dragged them into his Nu-Biafra. In a live Radio Biafra rant sometime in 2022 during the EndSars riots, same Kanu had the audacity to declare that "all SS is our land and anyone that opposes us will be killed". By "our" he meant him and his Ibo people and by "anyone who opposes us" he meant even the SS people .

So if you are just waking up from under the rock , better shut up and listen to those who know these people better than the back of their hands

TimiRume:
Yes she was a prophetess not a teacher. What do prophets and prophetesses do? They judge or decide situations by passing direct messages from God to the people.
They don't teach, they tell or foretell what God has said or instructed for certain situations to save or restore the people.

Even today, God allows women to prophesy in church under certain conditions. Prophesying is a different ministry from teaching or pastoring. Hope this helps.

Steep:
Deborah was not a leader of the Christian church. Even David who was a polygamist was a leader in Israel but in the church a polygamist can't be a pastor. The new testament church is different from national Israel.

Petalss:

Got it, now I understand your perspective. One person might be lying while the other is genuinely receiving guidance from God. If we eventually identify the liar, it would imply that any other pastor making similar claims as that liar could also be deceitful.

Petalss:


Dr. Abel Damina is indeed both smart and intelligent, as you noted. However, unlike some others, he doesn't claim to receive direct messages from God. Instead, he emphasizes that God's words have already been clearly communicated through the Bible.

Petalss:

I'm trying to understand: is it the same God who instructed Dr. Abel Damina that tithing is not mandatory,

who also told Pastor Adeboye that tithing is essential?

How can two respected pastors have such differing views on this topic, both claiming guidance from God?

TimiRume:


Yes sir. She cannot teach them according to God's word and design. Can she guide them by expounding the scriptures to them? Yes she can. Priscilla and her husband did same to Apollos. And the Holy Spirit took over and turned Apollos into one of the greatest men of God in Paul's time that some misguided believers started trying to make a sect out of him.
Can she become their teacher/pastor? No sir. God is not an author of confusion. If there are men like that ready to learn the scriptures, God would readily grant them enough grace to fill up those leadership roles that he has ordained for the males who represent the head of mankind.

There is an order of things already which is typical of God, to assign positions to us differently. Even in the body of Christ, we are not all one member but many members. And all the members are equal, moreso members that seem insignificant are to be esteemed highly. Submission and quietness are highly priced qualities in this kingdom.

This passage by Paul too isn't just referring to husband-wife relationship though it includes it.
1 Timothy 2:11-14 New International Version (NIV)

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

They won't lol. Anyone who is hungry for these things never lacks understanding. God might choose the woman to open their eyes but he won't let the woman become their teacher or pastor. He cannot contradict himself.

Yes I've heard of Deborah. Did her role contradict what I've stressed?

Petalss:


How do we verify divine communication? If a claim that "God told me" is only valid when the information is "right," then there must be an agreed-upon standard or authority to determine what God would or would not say. But who or what has the authority to verify God's words? Is it religious leaders, sacred texts, or personal intuition?

TimiRume:
Insightful though I still believe women shouldn't be leaders of men or exercise authirity over them because of how God has created both genders and assigned them natural offices even before Moses.

It's so clear from the scriptures that God has not called us to usurp authority over men. Can we prophesy in church? yes we can with our heads covered portraying submission to authority. Can we teach in church? yes we can but we are to teach younger or immature women. This is one passage that settled it for me.

Brenbentondiaz:
Mountain of Fire members go dey look you with side eyes one kin now.

Actually, there's no way you can convince brainwashed people to change their ways

It's just for one to pray for them for their understanding to be opened. It's hard to change a religious (not spiritual) person to change from all what he had been fed since he was a kid. Jesus had this challenge with the Jews too.
