Brigham:
One funny observation about the major theme of Christianity is that it's self defeating.

Why should an 'all powerful' god have to sacrifice 'himself' to 'himself' before men could be forgiven.

That's magnanimous

atoleybaba:
y did u skip verse 18 of john chapter1? Apart from what u av been taught from d bible by ur pastors av u ever taken ur time to study on ur own bawt DT bible verse? The Greek lang it was written with and how it was translated? Well I will help u with some research on john chapter 1
states: “In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (King James
Version) Later in the same chapter, the apostle John clearly
shows that “the Word” is Jesus. ( ) Since the Word
is called God, however, some conclude that the Son and the
Father must be part of the same God.
Bear in mind that this part of the Bible was originally
written in Greek. Later, translators rendered the Greek text
into other languages. A number of Bible translators, though,
did not use the phrase “the Word was God.” Why not?
Based on their knowledge of Biblical Greek, those
translators concluded that the phrase “the Word was God”
should be translated differently. How? Here are a few
examples: “The Logos [Word] was divine.” (A New
Translation of the Bible ) “The Word was a god.” (The New
Testament in an Improved Version) “The Word was with
God and shared his nature.” (The Translator’s New
Testament) According to these translations, the Word is not
God himself. Instead, because of his high position among
Jehovah’s creatures, the Word is referred to as “a god.”
Here the term “god” means “mighty one.” (am not framing this. Do ur own research urself and see it is true). Most people do not know Biblical Greek. So how can you
know what the apostle John really meant? Think of this
example: A schoolteacher explains a subject to his
students. Afterward, the students differ on how to
understand the explanation. How can the students resolve
the matter? They could ask the teacher for more
information. No doubt, learning additional facts would help
them to understand the subject better. Similarly, to grasp
the meaning of , you can look in the Gospel of John
for more information on Jesus’ position. Learning
additional facts on this subject will help you to draw the
right conclusion.
For instance, consider what John further writes in
: “No man has seen [Almighty] God at
any time.” However, humans have seen Jesus, the Son, for
John says: “The Word [Jesus] was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, and we beheld his glory.” ( , KJ) How,
then, could the Son be part of Almighty God? John also
states that the Word was “with God.” But how can an
individual be with someone and at the same time be that
person? Moreover, as recorded at , Jesus makes
a clear distinction between himself and his heavenly
Father. He calls his Father “the only true God.” And toward
the end of his Gospel, John sums up matters by saying:
“These have been written down so that you may believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.” ( )
Notice that Jesus is called, not God, but the Son of God.
This additional information provided in the Gospel of John
shows how should be understood. Jesus, the
Word, is “a god” in the sense that he has a high position but
is not the same as Almighty God.(please consider this explanation with clean consience willing to learn and accept d correction remember iron sharpens iron....we want to understand d bible clearly so we can live in harmony with God standard) I will be expecting ur feed back
Dear you are very wrong to Say that Jesus is not Called God. In several places was he called God. Let's roll and please i want you to read them up yourself and perhaps make your analysis of what was meant there. 1. In Heb chapter 1vs6to8 it says " and again when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And Let all the angels of God ADORE HIM. And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But to the Son: Thy throne O GOD, is forever and ever: a scepter of justice is the scepter of thy kingdom." in John 20vs28 thomas exclaimed on touching the wounded side of Jesus: "My Lord and My God." Titus 2:10to13 St paul said Jesus is both our saviour and our God. Check it out. Colosians 1vs 16to17 "For in Him all things were created in heaven and on earth visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created By Him and in him. And he is before all, and by him all things consist." please i ask you this simple question who created the world? If your answer is God, then you just said that Jesus is God because the scriptures not me even told us in colosians 1vs16to17 that all things were created by Jesus. See your point of confusion is that you fail to understand that There are Three Persons in One God and these three distinct persons God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are co equal, co eternal. Non is greater than the other. Even Jesus was called Eternal Father in Isaiah 9vs6. This is a mystery beyond our comprehension bro

Now let's look at the story from verse 22.

A Canaanite woman came to Jesus for help about his demon possessed son. The disciples asked Jesus to throw the woman out....why "cos she wasn't part of the lost sheep of Israel" by birth.

But Jesus redefined those that belong to "the lost sheep of Israel" by helping the woman. He didn't send her away.

He told her " Woman you have a great faith and her daughter was healed at that moment."

Hence, by faith we are all part of the "lost sheep of Israel"

Further examples includes his discussion with the Samaritan woman by the well (a non Israelites)

Imagine, so you don't even know that the story is what bring about the "sent to the sheep of Israel" phrase. I am afraid it will be easy to toss you to and fro with the wind of doctrine.

Matthew 15:22-28 New International Version (NIV)

22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”

23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.

24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

New International Version
The LORD says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

2. You claimed Jesus called the woman dog, How come he never sent her away?
How come he granted her wish by delivering her demon possessed child.

Jesus talks in parables a lot and no flesh and blood can decipher.

3. Can God be killed? I think you should rephrase the question to

Can a man die and resurrect?
Can a man tell you "Your sins are forgiven"?
Can a man convincingly tell you "Today, you will be with me in Paradise"?

John 10:14-18

Jesus speaking:

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

Here is the unmistakably prove of it: "God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (Exodus 3:14). Also, this is another solid prove that Jesus Christ is the God of the Old Testament.

Ordinarily, I shouldn't be replying you again, since it's obvious you've made your conclusions without first listening or asking for proofs that I spoke of. This is certainly not a good way to learn.

One was hoping that you'd ask for proofs before raising your objections where you felt the need. But regrettably, you hastily quoted scriptures that I know very well.

Well then, since you've already shut your mind from receiving other views other than yours, you can as well keep what you think you know.

How come he granted her wish by delivering her demon possessed child.

Jesus talks in parables a lot and no flesh and blood can decipher.

3. Can God be killed? I think you should rephrase the question to

Can a man die and resurrect?
Can a man tell you "Your sins are forgiven"?
Can a man convincingly tell you "Today, you will be with me in Paradise"?

John 10:14-18

Jesus speaking:

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
Parallel Verses New International Version By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. New Living Translation I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgmentis just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.
17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

You didn't answer my question. if the woman is a dog why did Jesus help her?

You don't know and you don't believe you don't know. Only a fool act that way.

You must be one of the Pharisees/Sadducees that were present when Jesus said:
"Pull down this temple and it will be rebuilt in 3 days". Just like you, they thought he was talking about the building (temple).

Its not my fault if you choose the path of destruction.

John 5:30 is simple and clear " Jesus didn't say he is powerless rather he said "Everything that he did, was not done in Isolation". He had the authority or go ahead from the Father.

John 4:34
Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Please don't bother to quote me again cos you don't look like someone that's ready to learn. Your mind is already made up.

If jesuse is merciful and loving y most he allowed an elderly woman like her mother to cry kneeling and crawling and begging after him for help?
dnt u tink and reason jesus will do d same to u cus u ar not jew hann?? What if the father said jesuse have no right to save u from according to john 5:30 as it said and u and i know jesuse did exactly what is father command not is own wish or will?
i have answered ur question by qouting Jeremiah 8:8 for u meaning there are too many falsehood and contradiction in d bibles, bibles said this check it out jeremiah 8:8
If jesuse is loving, caring and most powerful he doesn't have to die such a painful criminal death before he can save us?
John 5:30 said it clear jesuse did what his superior father said or tell and command he to do meaning all d skills,miracle and wonders he did was giving to him by the mighty father, meaning if jesuse did not obey d father he will be punished and destroyed right?
And bible never said God is biologically father of jesuse so dnt get confused cause it happened uptill today ur father can call me is son and i call him my father too that doesn't mean he is my biologically father bt it may be cause is same or higher age of my biologically father and many language have different way of calling God eg English said God, Arabic said Allah, Yoruba said Olo'run and hausa said Ubangiji u must go research and fined d history of how jewish call God in their language as bibles ar all translated to english while jesuse him self never know or spoke english cause he is not a english man then u will know how to understand and know what father means in the bibles today?
even now u call ur pastor,revren father and God my father ( e.g.our father in heaven) does dat mean God born us or our biological father too?

Brigham:
One funny observation about the major theme of Christianity is that it's self defeating.

Why should an 'all powerful' god have to sacrifice 'himself' to 'himself' before men could be forgiven.

That's magnanimous
What You Need Is An Understanding Of The Trinity And What Happened To The Trinity From The Arrest To The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ.

If You Do Not Understand This, What If I Tell You That God Did Not Die On The Cross (because God Cannot Die, He Has Never Died And Will Never Die), But Jesus Did And Jesus Is 100% God. Will You Understand?
I Bet It Doesn't Make Sense To You. Even Some Christians Here Will Turn Against Me. So If You Don't Understand Something, Try To Understand It, Don't Try To Argue.
