Xtians, Pls Explain This? by MizJanet(f): 1:31pm On Mar 02, 2016
This verse said Christ is God over ALL, . You know what that means?

"To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen." - Rom 9:5 ESV

Now, it's shocking to read the below verse contradicting Christ as God over all... How? Read this

"The head of Christ is God " 1Corint 11:3,


Its either Romans 9:5 quoted above lied, cos a God over ALL can never have a head/authority he is subjected to as seen here..

LOL, another Bible contradiction?

What is contradictory about the verses?

All it proves is that Jesus is God, but He also has a God -the Father. And the scriptures clearly attest to this.

See this;

Psalm 45v6 - Thy throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, THY GOD, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.


Can you see this verses?

One God is anointing another God, and the God anointing is the God of the one being anointed.

The God being anointed is Christ (the anointed one); while the God anointing is the Father.

So Jesus is God but He also has a God -the Father. And Jesus Himself confirmed that.

John 20v17 -...but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend UNTO MY FATHER, and your Father; AND TO MY GOD, and your God.

Rev 3v12 -Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.


So Jesus is God, but the Father is also His God.

When the scripture says "Jesus is God over all", that "all" is referring to creation and all created things. It doesn't include the Father.

See this;

1Cor 15v27 -For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted which did put all things under him.

The verses you quoted show that Jesus is God, but He also has a God -the Father. And that is made clear in many verses of the scriptures. No contradiction there.

Romans 9:5 said Christ, is the head of the patriarchs, the head of the Israelites and believers. He is the head of ALL these previously mentioned. (i.e. Christ LEADS them all)
The head of Christ, however, is God, just as beautifully reaffirmed in 1 Corint 11:3, where it stated that Christ is LED by God

Christ is not essentially Jesus. Christ is from the word chi which the Yoruba people call Ori or simply consciousness.

On a general note, Christ mean the annoited or chosen one. This is a title and not necessary refer to Jesus. Even though Christians to interchange the word Christ for Jesus, Jesus is not the only annoited person.

And yes, ye are Gods.

A male dominated society created religion. A period when women were required to be silent. Today we see those ideas as barbaric.

Emperor Constantine employed over 700 scholars to create the Bible. All of them had different opinions on how they should portray puppet Jesus. That has been the source of today's christian confusion. However, slaves never ask question. They accept it and teach their innocent kids the same lies.

All this twisting and whining doesn't appeal to commonsense , you said Jesus have a God this automatically means he can't be God over ALL (or don't you know God over ALL means supreme being? ) Something is wrong with ur Bible at Romans 9:5,


Am not surprised though

I think you have made up your mind here. You seriously dont want to listen to the other people argument but only here to ridicule, heat up argument and lash out on the christians.

Ayoku stated that there are many Gods. He could believe in the trinity but I see that as polytheism. He acknowledge that Jesus is God but there is still another God which is supreme. Apostle Paul stated in 1 Cor 8:5 that there are many God both in heaven and earth. Even Jehovah himself acknowledge that there are other Gods.

Now, the problem here lies in the word 'all'. The all there does not mean totality of both the heaven and earth. All there is simply the church or total believers

Let me give you this advice. Always use biblical language to interprete biblical words and sentences.

Look through the bible to get an idea of how a word was used in scripture to understand its true interpretation. Not your own opinion of what the word should mean.

When scripture uses the word "ALL", it always excludes and exempts the Father.

For instance, when scripture says;

ALL things were made by him (Jesus)... John 1v3

Does that "ALL" include the Father? Did Jesus make the Father too? Ofcourse not!

The Father begat the Son, so the Son didn't make the Father. The "ALL things" that Jesus made definitely excludes the Father.

Look at this also, when scriptures says;

1Cor 15v27 -For he (the Father) hath put all things under his (Jesus) feet. (Words in bracket mine)

When the Father put ALL things under Jesus' feet, did that include Himself? Did the Father put Himself under the feet of Jesus too? Ofcourse not!

The "ALL things" put under Jesus' feet excludes and exempts the Father. And the scriptures made that clear.

1Cor 15v27 -...But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that HE IS EXCEPTED which did put all things under him.

Can you see that?

So when scripture says, Jesus is God over all; that excludes the Father, who is the MostHigh God, and infact the God of Jesus Himself as I showed you earlier.

Jesus is God over all creation and created beings, because He created them all. But the Father is still His God.

Use biblical application and usage of words to interprete the meaning of biblical words and sentences. Not your opinion of what the word should mean. "God over ALL" excludes the Father, who is the MostHigh God.

FOLYKAZE thanks, I admire ur contribution. But as u indicate above the problem lies in the word ALL.

GOD over all indicates the Supreme being or highest authority. For example at Ephesians 6:4, the verse said the Father is God over all... Does this not indicate supremacy? If so why do xtians have to Change the meaning of God over all at Romans 9:5,?

Am not surprised though

You are just an atheist looking to score cheap points. Since you know the bible is contradictory and false, from one verse (see your logic), why dont you let it be.
Instead of cheaply feigning curiosity?

First , since you are trying to debunk the bible, let me ask you
,What is the modus ,according to the bible, for interpreting /critiquing a bible related question?
Science,engineering,mathematics,Law,Music all have standard ways of critiquing related questions. E.g in mathematics, a statement that ends in a contradiction is automatically false.
In science, if it cannot be observed physically, subject to the five senses,its not valid subject matter.
So, for you as an outsider to put down the bible as false without conforming to it's method of enquiry , is sheer foolery.
What is the m.o for interpreting bible verses? Let's start from there.
