Just imagine the confusion this your explanation is causing. Then u will end it by saying "it is only IF the holy spirit reveals it, you can't understand it"

lisasonesis:

Beloved, does Jesus have a father? emphatically yes! Is he God? the bible says YES! (John 1:1) and I believe.
Remember in one of his teaching he made it known to the Jews they got offended and wanted to stone him to death and he asked asked them y they wanted to Stone him.
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, for a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man maketh THYSELF GOD.(KJV) not a god.

The reason Jesus is God is not because he had the attributes of the Father but the father in him (Deity) which is d holy spirit.
God is not complete without his word (JESUS) and the holy spirit(THE DOER OF HIS WORD)
until u believe this truth that God the father, son and and Holy spirit are 3 persons in one Godhead, u can't believe that YOU are god which the bible has clearly told us.
and until u believe that Christ in U has made u a god, u cannot differentiate CHRISTIANITY from a RELIGION. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION.
it will take the holy spirit to give u the revelation of God's word. don't let anyone deceive u with philosophy or head knowledge.
colossians2:8 Beware lest any man spoil u 2ru philosophy and vain deceit..
Colossian 1:9 For this cause we also since the day we heard it do not cease to pray for u and desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

TroGunn:

Isaiah 9:6 - "For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."

Jesus is called "Mighty God", still doesn't make him Almighty God or equal to Almighty God Jehovah.

Hebrew word for "god" means "powerful one" so technically calling Christ Mighty God is correct because he's been given great authority by his Father. Same idea in John 1:1. But the Bible clearly explains that Christ is still subordinate to his Father - they are not equals.

1 Cor 15: 25-28: "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all".


Same with Jesus being called Eternal Father - he's older than us all and is head of the congregation, so fits the description. B ut God is above him.

1 Cor 11:3 - "But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God".


Never was Christ ever equal to God, his Father as shown in the Bible below:


Christ pre-coming to Earth, in heaven : Christ subordinate, obeys his Father's instruction to sit at his right hand.

Psalms 110:1 "Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet".
Jesus himself confirmed that this scripture, written by David was about him - Matt 22:42-46. Also confirms Christ is a different person to God.

Christ on Earth : Christ is clearly lower than God. Obeys him, prays to him, does nothing unless God authorises. Jesus pointedly said God, his Father is greater. Shows us excellent example of humility and obedience to God.

John 14:28 - " “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I."

John 12:49 "I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it".

Christ after Earth, in heaven : After returning too heaven, Jesus position was even higher than before he came to earth. ( Also showing that he was below God before coming to earth).

Phillipians 2:9 - "Therefore God exalted him to. the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name".

Still this most exalted position was below God. He continued subordinate to God.

1 Cor 15: 25-28: For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.”c Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

Jesus returns to God right hand till time is given by God to subdue enemies, as seen by Stephen in a vision. Also firms up that God and Christ are two distinct persons.

Acts 7:55-56 - “But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, 'Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!'.”

Fantastic Explanation. Simple to understand. Keep it coming. I have respect for the JWs they know what they are talking about. Put ten so called chrristians together and you'll be suprised at the differences in their doctrines yet they single-out the witnesses out of hatred for exposing their lies.

It's obvious some people reason with their @nus. If Fashola directed OPD to sue NCSDC it means only one thing, he's a genius. He knows his rights and obligations both as a citizen and the governor of Lagos. He could as well have written to Jonathan crying like a baby to score cheap political points. For those who are linking this to the deportation saga my only response is 'go to court, but if your governor is too dull to do that then shame on you.

Anyways, let me warn you, if you abuse me 'I'll sue you, datz all'.

Frank-C:
All these childish confrontational approach to every little matter is just not it. It is in the interest of Lagosians if LASG and her officials have a good working relationship with the FG. Peter Obi is doing it in Anambra and it is working. At the end, it is not about how much you opposed the President or FG agencies, it is about how you are able to attract development to your area with the aid of the federal might. Even Akwa Ibom with all her oil wealth still recognize this fact.

You're obviouly the one that needs a baby sitter here. When was the last time LASG begged your Federal might for aid or idea on development or even begged them to come and develop Lagos. For months on end now Lagos has been calling Ferma to come and fix Oshodi Apapa expressway they have turned a deaf hear and suddenly woke up from their slumber as soon as they saw signs Lagos was about to do the work that has been begging for attention on Ikorodu road.

Meanwhile, when did calling Lagosians attention to this matter become a confrontation. All those states you mentioned certainly need FG, Lagos doesn't as a matter of fact the FG should come and learn how to run government business from Lagos.

This has really gotten to me....I wish I can smack this PDP ar.e lickers.

1. Fashola has been the best governor in Nigeria every year from 2007, even on Nairaland.
2. Fashola has shown even if he didn't perform up to ur expectations that 'it can be done' and that leaders lead by example. His actions,utterances give right thinking individuals hope. Am not talking about desperados whose only job is to make money to feed their families like 'okada riders' without consideration for the hundreds of others maimed everyday and families denied the love and affection of their loved ones. Meanwhile motocycles were banned not motobikes, morons.
3. I have lived most of my life in Lagos and I can say confidently that Tinubu is a visionary leader (with faults though maybe he too like money) allowing a relatively unknown Fashola to continue his works. Fashola started the reconstruction of Agege Stadium which was used during the last games in Lagos and all the adjoining streets were upgraded, I mean u need to know how these roads and drainanges were to appreciate what was accomplished.
4. The PDP apologist won't see the good in Fashola simply because the have no template to compare his achievements to that of their thieving compatriots. Oshiomole publicly aknowledged Fash as a mentor so 'if' he does more than him that's ok, but truthfully he never reach. The whole of Uyo where the developments in Akwa is concentrated is like Ikeja and oregun only. I can't comprehend how a sane individual will compare a state with over 15million people to one with 2.5million people.
5. Medical road near computer village is being upgraded. Ayinke House inside LASUTH is being reconstructed.
6. You can compare Fashola's performance to that of any governor you like in Nigeria I think its fair but ask yourself 'why are millions of people not rushing down to take up residence in those states? As large as the population of Lagos is everyone has hope of survival.
7. You open your stinking mouth and talk about IGR, did your retardeen and his past mumu PDP thugs know what could be generated from TAX if not for what Lagos achieved. In saner climes people are jailed for years for evading tax, it is only in Nigeria that people will complain that tax enforcement is anti people.
8. If an american comes to Nigeria and sees Lagos he'll ask if their is government here, true but imagine if what Fashola did especially during hos first tenure is repeated over a period of time with a federal government that has foresight, I see Nigeria taking a leap. That will be without individuals who can't appreciate a one eyed man in the midst of blind people. At least the one eyed man still dey see. That's what's Fashola is compared to all others.
9. Lagos has on several occassions undertaken the rehabilitation of Federal roads, pls I don't even have time to start typing the ones I know but so that u know sha I'll mention abule egba part of the Lagos-Abeokuta express, the Ijaye part etc

Even if Lagos is building with PPP doesn't it make sense to make things work differently abi haven't we seen what the almighty PDP can do in the centre with their IPP?
Abeg, make I go sleep. I'll see what the mumu PDP a.rse lickers will type 2moro.

Dear President Jonathan: You’re not the first Nigerian public official to receive a letter from heaven, but I hope you will be the last. I have God’s instructions to write this letter to you, and to make it as plain as possible.
You recently said you were entrusting Nigeria in God’s hands. The theme of this letter is simple: God says no! You and your bunch of Nigerian politicians (with a lot of help from many citizens) have made a mess of your country. God’s reply is, keep your organized scam of a country. No, God wants no part of the confusion that Nigeria has become.
Look at all the gifts God bestowed on your country. He put massive reserves of oil, tin, coal, bauxite, iron – to name a few – in the depths of the Nigeria land. All Nigerians needed was a bit of imagination, intelligence, prudence, restraint and vision – and your country would be one of the best addresses on earth. Alas, Nigerians (especially “leaders” like yourself) have left most of the resources untapped. And you have all squandered the fortune from oil. You’ve wasted your oil riches through greed, in pursuit of frippery and frivolity.
Here in heaven, Nigerian politicians are regarded as a pathetic, comedic bunch. You’re all notorious for hypocritical or misconceived statements. Most of you rig elections, for example, and then proclaim that your power came from God. You all loot the treasury – and claim that God blessed you with wealth. You all let Nigerian roads deteriorate to a terrible state. Then, when horrible accidents occur on these roads, presto, you blame the deaths and injuries on some faceless demon.
Nigerian public officials are laughable. You fly to German, British, American, Saudi Arabian, French and Indian hospitals whenever you or members of your immediate family have a health scare – or, sometimes, just a headache. You forget that true leaders work to develop their own countries. Nelson Mandela, one of the noblest leaders in the world, doesn’t ever leave South Africa for medical treatment abroad. It was South Africans, not God, who built their country’s healthcare system. You and your associates have done nothing to lift Nigeria’s healthcare system from its squalid state. That’s one reason millions of Nigerians die needlessly.
Nigerian “leaders” spend long hours, day and night, carting away their country’s resources to private bank accounts all over the world. Then, as your country gets more mired in misery, you shout that God is in control. God says, “Tufia!” God has no part in decadence and corruption. You and your associates admonish the victims of corruption to pray and fast, to importune heaven for solutions to their manifold problems. You award national honors to certified criminals, and then wonder that terrorists and kidnappers prowl the land. With a straight face, you sell a lie to Nigerians: that it’s God’s job to pronounce a halt to the spree of suicide bombings and other forms of violence.  
I’m going to be blunt. God is not amused a bit about the way Nigerian officials abuse His name. Your appalling habit causes a lot of head-shaking, and even the occasional fury, in heaven.
You must be aware that I rebuked your predecessors for making light of God’s name. You must know that I sternly warned them to leave God out of their sinister plots and diabolical schemes. Yet you, President Jonathan, have chosen to carry on in the manner of previous occupants of Aso Rock. That’s why this letter became not only necessary but also urgent.
Recently, you attended a congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. The caption of one newspaper report said it all: “RCCG Congress: Jonathan Entrusts Nigeria to God.” The report’s opening paragraph stated: “President Goodluck Jonathan has entrusted the nation’s future into God’s care. On Friday, Jonathan told the teeming congregation at this year’s Holy Ghost Congress organized by the Redeemed Christian Church of God that prayer is the panacea to the country’s present challenges.”
The report continued: “Jonathan assured the congregation that he will not give up on doing what was right, adding, with optimism, ‘I have a strong conviction that we shall all overcome our present challenges.’”
You were quoted as claiming that your 2011 election owed to “the efforts of the General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and the innumerable members of the church, who overwhelmingly supported him.” In your own words, “Two years ago, I was here to seek the face of God and ask for your prayers for the last presidential election. I want to thank God that the victory was made possible through the prayers of Pastor Adeboye and the church.” And the paper quoted more of your words, remarkable (above all) for the misalliance between expression and reality. For example, you boasted: “I am guided by biblical principles of transparency in leadership; government is pursuing the agenda of regaining the trust of the people to foster unity and peace.”
You had come to this year’s congress, you told the congregation, “to pray for signs and wonders in government.” And, lo and behold, one such verbal “wonder” came as you “knelt down before the whole congregation” for a “prayer session.” Pastor Adeboye was apparently so carried away by your presidential aura that he went into rhetorical overdrive. “He is the God of wonders who turns impossibilities to possibilities,” said the good preacher. He continued: “Our concerted prayers for the country and her president will surely turn the tide and restore the country’s lost glory. With our leaders turning to God for wisdom and sense of direction in prayers, God’s mighty hand that delivered Israelites from Egypt and brought water out of the rock would change our misfortunes.”
It was all theater, President Jonathan. And God wants you and others like you to know that Pastor Adeboye was speaking for himself. God is not impressed in the least. Look at the countries that are doing well today; you won’t find their leaders – true leaders, by the way – kneeling before any pastor to hand over their countries to God. Such false, showy piety is the recourse of hypocrites and clueless leaders. Again, God is not impressed.
At any rate, if you were guided by biblical principles, then you would act compassionately towards the teeming populace of Nigerians who – like you in the past – are shoeless, foodless, bookless – and close to hopeless. You would not be spending more than two billion naira building a banquet hall for your Olympian feasts when tens of millions of Nigerian children go to bed each night with hunger ringing rude bells in their empty stomachs. There’s nothing in the Bible that justifies the president feting himself with more than a billion naira in a country where the minimum wage is a crime against the humanity of its recipients.
Those of us in heaven thought we had heard everything – until you claimed to be a practitioner of “transparency in leadership.” We immediately summoned Saint Paul, the resident language expert around here, but he couldn’t decipher your words. Or rather, he couldn’t find anything in your record to justify the phrase. In the end, in his characteristic sense of humor, he concluded that you must be drawing attention to your transparent disdain for Nigerians. Remember how you responded to cheeky Nigerians who demanded that you – permit me to use your words – display “transparency in leadership” by openly declaring your assets? You hectored, “I don’t give a damn!”
To return to a serious vein, here’s the message, President Jonathan. There are no signs or wonders coming your way anytime soon. You want signs and wonders? Make it happen! Create some. Fire the really, really sleazy ministers in your cabinet and hand them over to serious prosecutors. Do it today, not tomorrow, and there would be a nice sign. Slough off the obscene privileges and trappings of your office, roll up your sleeves, and go meet Nigerians in the hovels and shacks where they reside in extreme privation. If you really intend to elevate their condition, go to them and excite them with the zeal of your dream. Inspire them with a vision of real, meaningful change.
Your countrymen and women desire and deserve real leadership; cease serving them the pablum of divine providence. Here are some of the things that your people need and yearn for: good roads, regular, dependable power supply, an excellent educational system, an effective healthcare program, good jobs, the institution of sound moral and ethical values, and a legal system that does not spare the mighty, the wealthy or the connected.
Let me make clear: God is not in the business of building roads, hospitals or schools. He doesn’t build electric power plants. He doesn’t sweep dirt from streets or act as a prosecuting attorney. These jobs are competently handled every day by humans – and in many nations, including those that officially don’t believe in God.
In the coming year, I suggest that you and other Nigerian officials take a retreat. Set aside one week, travel to a secluded location (without cell phones, TV or any other distractions), and meditate. Ask yourself if you have what it takes to be a real leader, not just a self-aggrandized copy. In the end, if you find that you don’t have a clue how to lead, that you must throw your hands up and raise your head to the sky, gazing for signs and wonders, then may I suggest, simply, that you declare yourself ill-equipped for the office you hold? Yes, do for yourself what a boxer’s handlers do when their man is being battered in the ring: throw in the towel.

BBPREYEgarri: He is the President of Nigeria fo God's sake, he should be given that honour! Some you retardeens here will do worse that what ur complaining about if u were in his shoes!
Foools!

See mumu in action. He may even ask you to eat his pooo and u will oblige. Shows how brainwashed you are. Fools wasting our collective wealth and u open ur thrash like that....

Mumu people shouting "INSTITUTIONS". Which institutions? The ones run by angels.

Warped thinking. Our institutions can only function when people, individuals who run them are above board. Our society is rotten and it will take a leader with a heart of daimond to clean up the country. If you're wondering GEJ isn't it.....

Funny how many professed christians reason/think. They are so afraid to ask their "daddy" simple questions even about his teachings that when placed on the scale of the bible is faulty not to talk of asking him about his stupendious wealth. Jesus was questioned severally by those who accepted his teachings and those that did not. Not once did Jesus tell them "touch not my anointed". Till death the messiah prayed for his enemies who questioned him and eventually put him to death. Many people were convinced of Jesus' messiahship based on his answers to questions. Oyedepe should be questioned again and again until he convinces us that he is truthful.

Truckpusher: You can only give what you were given.Anything extraordinary can only be achieved through a lot of factors coming into play...And if i may ask you, how of your country's research institute is up and running ,as in well funded with access to modern facility to carry out researches?...probably you don't know,that brings it to the conclusion by the mallam that you guys are quick to judge without taking into consideration the numerous factors affecting whatever you are judging.

You have made some fantastic points. Nice, right?
So when you say judging what exactly are you saying? Quick to blame the youth? Ok let's blame the whole society. Does that change the facts of this matter. The youths have knowingly and unwittingly allowed themselves to be blinded by a desire for quick wealth. Yes, blame the society for that but aboki will still be on point.

If you read between the line, mallam wasn't talking about studying and all that. It's just a matter of deciphering the TRUTH from the LIE when you read. You can see it all over Nairaland. Every tom etc passing judgement on a matter they have not thought deeply about. There's always an already formed opinion without looking @ a matter critically.

Dlyna: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
How did we youths get to the stage of not reading anymore?
Are our schools of same quality as the ones our parents attended?
What's the benefit of reading so much for what we are not given any opportunity to apply?
How much are how professors, lecturers,teachers, who are suppose to impact this knowlege earning?
The people that are supposed to impact this reading culture into children at their tender age are not encouraged to do so, because being a teacher is no more honourable.
We have the 'thieving' politicians to look up to now.
So what do we expect?
Comparing a country that intellect is not appreciated to one that values it.

Abeggi make we hear word for una and 'there's sense in what he's saying'.

Will one read on empty stomach?
Ordinary food is luxury in this country and you are expecting youths to read.
Where will the money for the books come from?
After hustling in the day to make ends meet you expect them to carry book to read.

Sounds very convincing but still doesn't excuse the youths from failing to search for knowledge. Hunger is even a good reason to want to search for knowledge to end it.

The other major problem is, those that have acquired knowledge turn it into a weapon against the majority who are uninformed or misinformed further pushing them down.

acidtalk: Lazy is an understatement.
They are DEAD intellectually.


In my house I have about 500 Audio CDs and over 1,300 Books (All Original).

I noticed that while my books worth 100 times the price of the Compact disc, People pay more interest in "borrowing" or "fapping" them more than even the Best of the life changing books.

God bless the soul of that woman who said "if you want to hide anything from a Black man, put it in a book". She is damn so correct.


Why are people insulting El-Rufai for saying the truth? Even though me and the mumu no dey gree for twitter (I go soon block am sef). But he is saying the whole truth.

I encouraged some youths 2years back to feel free to come over during weekends to come turn by crib into a "library club", omo, them no gree oh! Instead it was always "brother Acidtalk, please borrow me your Jay Z cd. Or Bros, do you have have the latest Cold Play album?".

You are so on point. Have you seen dem half witted dudes on Nairaland always making stupid and illogical assertions. The downward trend in our education is most obvious in many of the comments I read here. Can you imagine, many youths can't even think for themselves.
