A Jew who kept sharping his mouth that he's god, gathered 12 men who believed his delusions and was disturbing the peace of people around got his people angry. they held him beat the holy living crap out of him and hung him on a cross like they do common thieves those days and he then screamed like a common mortal would and died just like the mortals that were on his right and left. his apostles then stole his body and claim he rose on the third day lol.

Some Africans today heard another narrative from a book handed to them by their pink skinned slavemasters and then believed it to be true. they then started praying in the name of the that deluded Jew but the Jews themselves know the true story that's why they are not "Christians" but majorly Jewish and shocking part is that there are 9 (nine) times more Muslims in Israel than there are Christians

Judas was just a victim of circumstance.

He was an innocent man caught up by a prophecy long before he was born.

But I think NL asks if one is a Muslim and must swear to be a Muslim, before allowed to comment on Muslim threads on NL.
So why or how did this one above comment on this thread?

HALLELUJAH!

HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY AND HAPPY NEW WEEK OF PROGRESS, PROSPERITY, SUCCESS, TRIUMPH AND VICTORY OF TRIUMPHANT OVERCOMERS AND VICTORIOUS CHAMPIONS OF OUR ONE AND ONLY ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD JEHOVAH JIREH.

REJOICE IN THE LORD!
FOR HE HAS RISEN!

Psalm 33

1
Rejoice in theĀ Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2Ā Praise theĀ LordĀ with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3Ā Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4Ā For the word of theĀ LordĀ is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5Ā He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of theĀ Lord.
6Ā By the word of theĀ LordĀ were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7Ā He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8Ā Let all the earth fear theĀ Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9Ā For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10Ā TheĀ LordĀ bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11Ā The counsel of theĀ LordĀ standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Ā Blessed is the nation whose God is theĀ Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13Ā TheĀ LordĀ looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14Ā From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15Ā He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16Ā There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17Ā An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18Ā Behold, the eye of theĀ LordĀ is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19Ā To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20Ā Our soul waiteth for theĀ Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21Ā For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22Ā Let thy mercy, OĀ Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

Re: The Beautiful Things Of Easter by omojeesu(m): 8:54am On Apr 09, 2023
*Evidence that demands a verdict*:

1. *The OT predicted* His incarnation, birth, life & ministry, *arrest, mockings, torture, execution, resurrection & ascension*. They are *many, over 300* of them. However, the *source* of them is *Genesis 3:15* - And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; *it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel*.

2. *Jesus predicted His own death & resurrection*

Mark
10:32 And they were in the way *going up to Jerusalem*; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and *began to tell them what things should happen unto him*,

10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and _the Son of man_ *shall be delivered* unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and *they shall condemn him to death*, and *shall deliver him to the Gentiles*:

10:34 And *they shall mock him*, and shall *scourge him*, and shall *spit upon him*, and shall *kill him*: and *the third day he shall rise again*.

3. *Fulfilments*

a) When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, *he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost* - John 19:30

b) Mark
16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: *Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here*: behold the place where they laid him.

16:7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that *he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you*.

c) Mark
16:9 Now *when Jesus was risen* early the first day of the week, *he appeared first to Mary Magdalene*, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

16:12 *After that* he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

16:14 *Afterward* he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and *upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen*.

d) *The testimony of Apostle Paul*

1 Corinthians
15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that *Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures*;

15:4 And that he was *buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures*:

15:5 And that he was *seen* of Cephas, then of the twelve:

15:6 *After that*, he was *seen of above five hundred brethren at once*; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

15:7 *After that*, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

15:8 And *last of all he was seen of me also*, as of one born out of due time.

e) *Revelation Declaration by Jesus*

Revelation
1:12 And *I turned to see the voice that spake with me*. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

1:13 And *in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man*, *clothed* with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a *golden girdle*.

1:14 His *head and his hairs* were white like wool, as white as snow; and his *eyes* were as a flame of fire;

1:15 And his *feet* like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his *voice* as the sound of many waters.

1:16 And he had in his right *hand* seven stars: and out of his *mouth* went a sharp twoedged sword: and his *countenance* was as the sun shineth in his strength.

1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, *Fear not; I am the first and the last*:

1:18 I am *he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore*, Amen; and *have the keys of hell and of death*.

4. *The Call! The Invitation*

Jesus said unto her, *I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live*: - John 11:25

5. Finally, *have you received Jesus into your life? If you have not, please do so today! He loves you! I do too!*

This is what the Jew did for you..

Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Why did he do it?

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

So we should be grateful.

Happy Easter celebration! I believe believers should be wise with the wisdom of God and take advantage of such times as this to blow the trumpet of our Risen LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. We must show the world the beauty of salvation in Christ, and show them how much He loves them.

And as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, I want to admonish you to celebrate it in a way that will please Him and make Him happy. You can easily get this done by understanding what is currently in His heart and aligning with His Will aggressively.

First, the LORD wants every one of us to nurture an intimate relationship with Him. Remember, Love was what made God create humankind in the first place. And even after Man rebelled against the Almighty God by disobeying His loving instructions, love made HIM visit the earth to die for us and set us free from the clutches of satan, sin, hell, and death.

So, God loves us (John 3:16), and He wants you to come closer to Him. God is not interested in religion, but that every one of us should have an intimate relationship with HIM, which is possible only by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and making intentional decisions to align with the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14,16)

So, if you are yet to embrace Jesus Christ, this is the best decision you can make today. Simply open your heart and tell HIM, "JESUS, have mercy on me, and come into my life"

If you are already a Christian, decide to get closer to God much more than the stage you are currently in.

Additionally, this Easter, we should make new commitments to expand the frontiers of the kingdom. God is the Supreme Creator, and all must bow to His authority. Once the Kingdom of God is flourishing in all facets of human endeavor, we will discover that the solution to humanity's crisis is the Kingdom of God.

And so, in this end time, God wants us to partner with Him to establish His Kingdom in different areas - media, the family, government, education sector, military, etc, where everyone will subscribe to His Lordship, and everything will be done only in accordance to His Will.

So, don't just live for yourself. Ask yourself, "How can I partner with the Holy Spirit to establish the consciousness of God in the area(s) He has planted me?" "How can I use my influence and resources to promote the agenda of Jesus Christ"?

Finally, the beautiful things of Easter demand that we live in preparedness for His Second Coming. The LORD wants us to know that He is coming back again very soon, and His coming is imminent. Hence, He wants us to stay true to Him, expectantly, as the night is far spent. For those of us that are already distracted by the affairs of this world, He wants us to repent and amend our ways.

God bless you

I also want to wish my Muslim brothers and sisters a happy Easter Holidays.
I have always believed God and Allah is same.
That's why I gladly and willingly attend mosques because they also preach accordingly as our churches. And I also see it fit for a Muslim to attend a church absolutely and without blame.
Bottom line, it's all love and growth over hate and destruction.

I will also like to know the minds of others about this, so feel free to drop your thought in the comment section.

Because of religion no one has been able to really unite Africans in any considerable numbers, and it is also why Africans have not been able to make real progress toward freedom and equality. No more do we have to listen to liars who only wish to rule and control the masses with their made-up stories called religion. Let us Free our minds from the mental enslavement of religion
