alliednetw:The collection of books we know as the New Testament emerged in the late second century, A.D. The church leaders accepted books they believed were based on eyewitness accounts of the events narrated, while rejecting many other early Christian writings. Eventually, the 27 books which form the present New Testament, along with the Old Testament books, became the Christian Bible as we know it today. The New Testament canon was only formally adopted by the Synod of Carthage in 397 A.D. So why are you making it sound as if they authored and collected the books together all in 397 AD? |

john365:John let me add to your post. It shows that Mary is an humble Mother, she knows the son she gave birth to is the Saviour of the world, God favoured her by choosing her does not mean she should not obey or respect her Saviour who is also her Divine Son. And I know if it were to be one of our ladies of these days, we would disobey & disrespect JESUS CHRIST & also will find it difficult to call Him her Saviour, after all she would say "e no easy to be the Mother of the Saviour of the whole world, na my son". So do pentecostal's want Mary to disrespect her son (our LORD JESUS CHRIST)? |

OLAADEGBU:Bros,bros, so what was the use of any of the miracles Jesus performed going by your logic?why did he multiply the loaves and fish,raise the dead etc?there is deeper meaning to these actions but sola scriptura lenses with no historical context robs its adherents of the full picture of the gospel. All because you're trying to belittle Mary's intercessory role you resort to downplaying Jesus' 1st miracle!!! |

OLAADEGBU:just as you believe that the holy spirit inspired the author of genesis, I believe the holy spirit inspired the church to give the correct interpretation of the passage. Also if you go to the Greek of angel Gabriel's proclamation it is interpreted -hail, full of grace. At what point do you think this was done? |

pls check this out, john19 verses25-27: Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mothers sister, Mary the wife of clopas, and mary Magdalene. when Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "woman, behold your son". then He said to the disciple, "behold your mother" and from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. does this mean mary has other children and couldn't go back to her children that Jesus had to hand her over to this disciple?? 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU: I am not in a mood to be dragged into an argument with you. However, I want you to go and think about this: Mary giving birth to Jesus, did it happened by chance or was it something that had been in God's plan since the fall of man, most especially if you look at it from the perspective that God had long time ago told the serpent the Son of the WOMAN will strike its head? If God told Jeremiah that before your mother conceived you I know you, before you are born I consecrated you, how much more a person that was meant to be a Mother of God for Elizabeth filled with the HOLY SPIRIT exclaimed and called her 'The Mother of My LORD. St Paul talk about us mere Christians that we were chosen in Christ Jesus from the foundation of the earth, how much more a person from whom God was meant to assumed flesh. Mary was a vessel prepared by God to carry and nurture baby Jesus who is going to be sinless and God. If we inherit sin from our parents and Jesus didn't inherit sin from Mary, then she couldn't be a mere human. This is main reason why Jesus could not have been a product of copulation between two mortals but that of product of cooperation of the WOMAN, God and the Holy Spirit. Mary asked 'how could this happen for I am a virgin and the Angel told her 'The SPIRIT of the MOST HIGH will overshadow you and the child will be called Emmanuel - God with us, he will save his people from their sins'. Among all women, Mary in response to Elizabeth proclamation said all GENERATIONS will call me blessed. Remove the Catholics and down the generations line it will remain only people like you who wouldn't consider her worthy enough of being called blessed. Please I am no longer interested in this argument and don't be offended if I opt not to reply anymore. We are all free to believe what we like but as far as I am concerned 'Mary is immaculately conceived, she didn't happened to be Mary by chance and she is blessed above all women; of course she can't be blessed above all men because you have Jesus, the Son of man. 1 Like |

godsveryown:Please does going to school or you using iPhone or Internet or forex trading appear in the bible too? I don't know why it is so hard for 'simple' minded people to grasp simple things. If God in His infinite wisdom had given you minds to think just a little outside the imaginary box, I wonder why so many fight to get back inside the same. I'm still waiting for someone here to show me where Law of Mass Action is 'specifically' stated in same bible since it now 'thinks' for us. By inference, 'all' who do not read the bible shall rot in hell even if such ones (like the Muslim, Bahai, atheist, African religious worshipers etc) still do 'good deeds', ain't it Mr Show me where it is in the bible? |

godsveryown:Well, you seem so sure of yourself, now tell me, how did 'this' bible come to be? You all seem so sure of 'Christianity' as the 'correct' faith, I know for sure it's is because you were born or raised that way, have you ever wondered if you are wrong once? Have you ever wondered if Islam or Hindu were the actually the right religions that you are only a christian cos mom or dad told you so? Dear don't assume so much cos whatever you think you know was told or handed over to you by someone. God alone knows the heart of men. Even those who read and sleep the bible are the ones corrupting the world more than the ones you criticise. |
