This is the meaning; For I came to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Matt 10:35

Because you guys don't make OTHERS sleep. Abolish apostasy and blasphemy laws in all Muslim majority countries and we'll all let you you sleep. Deal?

No you can't see it, for you you have sinned against God by making a human He created equal to Him.

So, He blur your vision and distrupt your reasoning

I dont blame you, I blame the owner if Nairaland, Seun Osewa. I say it again, I blame Seun Osewa for not putting a caveat in the Christian section as he did in the Islam section. One statement that read "la illah a'ilallahu abracadabra" before posting or commenting on the Islamic section that prevents non-muslims to comment freely as Muslims do on Christians topics.
Re: What Does Matthew 8:22 Mean By "Let The Dead Bury Their Own Dead"? by smartzee01: 1:06pm On Aug 12, 2018
let the dead bury the dead. Our Lord is
not to be understood, as speaking
against, or disrespectfully of burying the
dead; his words suppose it ought to be
done: only it was not proper, that this
person should be concerned in it at this
time, who was called to an higher
employment; and therefore should leave
this to be done by persons, whom it
better became. And however strange
and odd such a phrase may sound in the
ears of some, of one dead man's burying
another, it was easily understood by a
Jew; with whom it is common to say, ,
"that a sinner is counted as dead, and
that ungodly persons, even while they
are alive", , are "called dead". And in
this sense is the word used, in the
former part of this phrase; and Christ's
meaning is, let such who are dead in
trespasses and sins, and to all that is
spiritually good, bury those who are
dead in a natural or corporal sense. It is
likely the deceased was an unregenerate
man; however, it is plainly suggested,
that many of the relations were; and
there were enough of them to take care
of this service: and therefore, there was
no need why he should neglect the
ministry of the Gospel to attend that; but,
ought to leave it to persons who were
fitter for it.

So, Jesus was praying to himself?
He was always taking permission from himself? He sacrificed himself to himself?
He said you can only get through to him through him?
He said the one who sent him is greater than him.
He said he came not to do his will but the will of the one who sent him.

OhiOfIhima:


His expression was jus so ineptitude lame n unexplainable.. How could someone compare the Almighty Allah to one of his prophet.. Anabi lsah(AS). This is where I have issue wit u guys Christians. Pls read ur Bible again n again.

Your Koran really lied to you. It's not your fault.
The Almighty Allah as you claim has an only begotten SON JESUS with whom He enjoys His Glory and rules His kingdom.

Let me give you an analogy, though imperfect but will at least give you some light to your understanding.
Let's take Saudi Arabia as an example. You got the King and his son, the Crown Prince that govern Saudi. They pick among the citizens certain individuals and elevated them to ministers...say minister of labour, defence, foreign affairs etc. These individuals are ordinary citizens exaulted to the position of ministers. They are not of ROYALTY. They have no access to the THRONE of the Kingdom.

Now to say that the CROWNED PRINCE is a mere minister is not just reducing Him to a mere citizen, you're denying His ROYALTY and HIS ownership of the kingdom. Yes he owns the Kingdom. As far as He's united to His Father, He owns the kingdom. Because all that the Father has, He has given to Him. His Father has given Him the THRONE. All homage paid to Him is paid to the Father. All homage paid to the Father is His because All that His Father has He has given to him. Him and His Father are one
....one nature.. ROYALTY
....one essense.. Rulership
...Unity of Will, Interest and purpose.... the good of their kingdom.
So the crowned prince is definitely not a mere minister. His nature is ROYAL. He is THE CROWNED PRINCE, THE RULER OF THE KINGDOM. To say otherwise is either out of ignorance or Envy & Jealousy....imagine a little citizen envy the Ruler...death sentence.

Likewise Jesus is NOT one more prophet (a human being elevated by God). Jesus is God. He told us Himself several places in the Bible.
Jesus relationship with His Father is even beyond this King-crowned prince analogy.
Him and His Father are of one nature, one substance and one essence..."Divine". Him and His Father are so united that if you see Him, you have seen His Father. He's in the Father and the Father is in Him.
He seats on the throne and will judge ALL including that your prophet that lied to you about Him.

Peace.

The Baptism clearly showed the Tri-unity of God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Three persons that define the Trinity.

Jesus is not human, He came to the world in human flesh to fulfil the word of His father. If He comes to the world in spirit no one will wait and listen to His message.

Let the dead bury the dead simply means that those living beings burying the dead will also share in the same fate at one point...sooner or later....na turn by turn.

Jesus being God is simply impossible under any logical circumstances. God is said to be an infinite being, so, tell me how you can contain any percentage of an infinity within a non self sustainable heterotrophic mammal that still had to eat and drink to survive?

That makes no sense. Any person will be more likely to listen to an alien spirit than a human who looks just like them. That's why any prophets go through difficulty in calling people to their cause.

There is literally a verse of Jesus saying he only acts on the commands of God (his 'father') and also saying he can of himself do nothing. Your own bibles shoot you people in the feet severally yet you're too blind to see that.

The Immortality nature of Christ and His willingness to give up His life as remission for the sins of all made him to be lifted by God and to exercise authorities on behalf of God, and that equates him with God Himself. This is the truth all should believe. The death of Christ is not for Christians but for all people in whole wide world.

Oga, stop deceiving yourself. That's what you deceive foolish people with "things of the spirit" the Bible is whole. The Bible is complete. Anything outside the Bible is devilish.
