@Judek2: « #27 on: Yesterday at 11:00:17 PM »And you didn't attempt to explain why Jesus said that they should buy Swords, if it was not literally? You failed to explore the fact that Jesus had said earlier that he brought war not peace, sword not dove, rancor between family members not unity. Further, he said that he was a king in parable [i know you will deny this, but claim that he is the king of kings when we are not reminding you of this part of his kingly commandment] that they should kill people in front of him for resisting his being overlord, while in his youth he showed not gentle manliness but rebel side by turning tables upside down.

I know Jesus didn't tell you why he said they should buy swords, but explained in the face of surmounting force that it will be fo.ol hearty to try to fight with few weapons. He was smarter than late Saddam Hussaine [ra], because he did not allow blood bath of his disciples. But then wait, if the one who lives by sword dies by sword [and not all have], what does the one who commands the purchase of sword dies by?

And you fool.ishly saythe pierced the side of hung Jesus with sword?

And do you claim that he told them to buy war swords to fight for him?
If you read the chapter,you will understand he was speaking in parables as he does,

A preview of the verses.
(luke22)35-36.
35-Jesus asked them,'when i sent you out without a purse,bag or sandals,did you lack anything'?they said,'no,not a thing'.
Before,he sent them out only for a little time,they were in their own country,their journeys would be short,and there was no need that they should make preparation for a long absence or for encountering great dangers.

36-But now,the one who has a purse must take it,and likewise a bag,AND THE ONE WHO HAS NO SWORD MUST SELL HIS CLOAK AND BUY ONE.
But now,they were to go into the wide world,among strangers,trials,dangers and hunger.And as the time was near,as he was about to die,as those dangers pressed on,it was proper that they should make preparations and provisions for what was before them,
A purse-: they should now take money as it would be necessary to provide for their wants.(natural hunger)
A bag-: script or lumpsack for carrying provisions(necessary materials)
Sword-never refering to the literelly meaning of "SWORD",but spiritually, It means strength to withstand persecution.
''If you are weak in spirit, you must ''sell your garments. _discard your mundane nature, and buy a sword.'' _Pray to God for spiritual strength.

After the encounter of violence by Peter and been rebuked by Jesus,they understood.

So Necta,tell me in all the missions of the appostles,did any one take up sword and fought the Jews starting from the twelve apostles,seventy two disciples to Paul and all the acts.

Saul before he was baptised to Paul was a sole persecutor of Christians,he lived with sword. But after his convertion,his greatest weapon was not a 'Sword', but the spiritual strength of God,

I'm amazed at your true spirituality exhibition.

@Judek2: « #28 on: Today at 01:38:06 AM »Metal scraps. And then the two of them disagree about who John was; John says he is not Elijah. Jesus said John was Elijah. Jesus said that no prophet in Israel is ever "greater' than John, while Jesus claims that he is a prophet and John says that Jesus is son of God [though his mother you people will not claim is wife of God]. Alas there is no tradition of neither water of holy Ghost baptism in the Community of Children of Israel and neither Jesus nor John was THE THAT PROPHET, while Jesus was merely the anointed, the last one among the Children of israel [Kings, Priests and sometime prophets were anointed in their community].

Who can 100% guarantee that neither Jesus or John is correctly recorded, without a thing changed or missing or added?

Can the Yoruba text capture what the notable gentleman said to Igbo man

Earthquake? Are you for real?If there is any noticeable tremor of the earth [earthquake], people will run,just like they did in the past month in The White House when the epicenter was somewhere in Virginia. This idea in the Bible is meant for those who do not think and they advanced the story a little so he is now Son of God, not Christ of God as in above. Lies always have many edges in its repeating.

Who needs the other; God needing Jesus to function as God, or Jesus needing God to even survive any period of his life and spiritual existence? You people will never stop to exaggerate or outright disinformation. And I remember the SONS OF GOD who came for the daughters of men. You see how ridiculous your advancing Jesus as son of God is?

What is truthful in a complete lie? Is it not in your Bible that Jesus said a prophet does not have any honor in his hometown, talking about himself? Did you not read in the Acts where the disciples said "Jesus who You sent"? Or you have not studied your Bible to that part, mr. Judek2? You need somebody to Jab you to spiritual reality.

This is where i see a bit of Truth from your viewpoint, considering Jesus to be son and God and prophet with a message to his people, then a Ghost as God and Jehovah of the christian as another God, while the followers of Moses, all the way to the followers of John accept God to be 1 indivisible, and even Jesus believed this as he had stated that his Lord is the Lord of his audience and this is One God.

(John 2:22-23).Who is the liar,but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the ANTICHRIST,the one who denies the father,and the son.Whoever denies the son does not have the father,the one who confesses the son has the father also.

(1John 4:2-3).By this you know the spirit of God;every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God,and this is the spirit of the ANTICHRIST,of which you have heard that is coming,and now it is already in the world.

(2John 1:7).For many deceivers have gone out into the world,those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh,This is the deciever and the ANTICHRIST.

The bible made these clear:
first-The ANTICHRIST is defined as anyone who doesnt believe Jesus is the divine son of God.

Secondly-ANTICHRIST appear to actively teach against Christ.

Now,let me put these questions to you,
(1) Do you actively teach or simply believe that there was a man named Jesus Christ but he did not actually die or raise from the dead?

(2)Do you actively speak out against or simply believe Christianity is a false religion?
For Jesus said.(matt.12:30)."He who is not with me is against me,and he who does not gather with me,scatters".

If only you can answer these in your heart,you will know where you have placed yourself.Are you an ANTICHRIST?

My fellow Christians,(2corinthians 6:14).Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelivers,for what fellowship hath righeousness with unrigheousness? What communion hat light with darkness.

Yes, same God, even the traditionalists worship the same God but through different channels which the bible doesn't recommend
