May I stand on the existing,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:06

protocol?

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

My name is,

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11

Andrea.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

I'm a lecturer in this institution. Please please

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

let the sister ask a question. Sister, can

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

you speak a bit loudly and slowly? Yeah.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

I'm a lecturer in this institution. I work

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

in mass communication department. Sorry. You're working? In

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

mass communication

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

Mass communication. Masha'allah. That's my field also. Mass

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

communication. Yeah.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

So with all due respect,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

I would like to clear something that, you

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

know, the young man could not really explain

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

very well. The bible recorded the trinity.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

Christ said that I and my father are

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

1. Very good. And when Christ was living

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

this world, he told his his followers, I'm

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

going in the Holy Spirit. Do you know,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

sister, do you that time. Sister, do you

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

know the reference Excuse me. Excuse me. Sister,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

do you know I have really studied many

00:01:03 --> 00:01:03

many

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

many many religions

00:01:06 --> 00:01:06

including,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

Islam, Buddhism,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

traditional,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

and a lot of them. Even the Jewish,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

they say, but from my own observation,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

every religion is talking about peace.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:20

So

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

concerning what is you said that the only

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

way somebody can have peace is through

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

Islamism.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

You are right, but that should be only

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

for the Muslims.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

So that for those who are non Muslims,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

they can still find peace by doing the

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

right thing because God is 1. That is

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

the concept of God.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

So let us stop talking about

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

religion politics.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

Let us talk about uniting our nation

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

because this is the problem we're having.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

Look at our group oil. We have refineries

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

and they're not functioning. I will reply to

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

you, sister. Oh, god. I will reply to

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

you. This is not a lecture time.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

Come on, please. Sister, this is not a

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

lecture time. Did you hear the rules? Your

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

question should be in 2 or 3 sentences.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

No way. This is the question answer time,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

not a lecturing time. I have understood your

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

question. You told me. You have quoted me

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

from the bible That's the nation. That I

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

and my father are 1.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

I want to know Please. Do you know

00:02:17 --> 00:02:17

the reference?

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

Do you know where does the Bible says

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

Yes. Where Jesus Christ said, I and my

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

father are 1? Yes. The Bible says so

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

in book of Matthew.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

You're wrong. Nowhere does the Bible say in

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

book of Matthew. John

00:02:31 --> 00:02:31

10. John 10.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

Bible says Go to John 10 too and

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

don't let and then

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

man. Let us

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

let

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

us great man in our own image and

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

likeness.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

Mister, you have misquoted your bible.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

I cannot hear you. Okay. You are shouting

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

I cannot hear you. Now your time is

00:03:01 --> 00:03:01

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

You are supposed to ask the question in

use of this nation this afternoon. I would

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

The sisters of mass communication,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

00:03:52 --> 00:03:52

Masha'Allah,

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

You ask a question, I want to reply.

No. Your microphone will be off because we

You have a problem.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

I don't know what's this You have a

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

problem.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

She told What's with what's the Jesus said,

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

I and my father are in gospel of

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

Matthew. She's lying.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

Jesus said in the gospel of John chapter

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

number 10 verse number 30. I and my

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

father are 1.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

She doesn't know a Bible. She claims to

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

be a Christian. Yeah. Beat you.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

She is quoting a verse of the Bible

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

and she's saying it's in gospel of Matthew.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

She's trying to pull a fast one.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

No. She's trying to pull a fast one.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

First question. Let me reply. Please.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

What is the context?

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

What is the context of gospel of John

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

chapter number 10? Let the lady listen to

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

my answer. Brother,

00:04:51 --> 00:04:52

let her listen to the answer.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

She has a problem. She wants to give

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

a lecture, free lecture.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

When she saw 20,000 people coming, she wants

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

to give a free lecture. She wants to

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

break the rules.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

So anyone breaks the rule?

00:05:05 --> 00:05:08

I clearly mentioned that the question should be

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

asked in 2 or 3 sentences.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:11

The sister

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

quoted a verse from the Bible.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

Gospel of John, chapter number 10, verse number

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

30. I and my father are 1.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

What is the context?

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

I request everyone to be silent.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

I request the people to be silent, please.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

I request the audience

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

I request the audience to be silent.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

Other people here Muslims of Nigeria.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

Are you Muslims?

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

Yeah. So please keep quiet. Yeah.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

Please keep quiet.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

I want silence.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

I want silence, please.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

If someone is talking about Islam,

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

please keep quiet.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

The sister quoted a she quoted a verse

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

of the Bible. She gave wrong reference. What

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

she said, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

said, I and my father are 1. My

00:06:08 --> 00:06:09

challenge was

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

point out a single unequivocal statement,

00:06:13 --> 00:06:17

a single unambiguous statement where Jesus Christ, peace

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

be upon, himself said that I am God

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

or where he says worship me, I accept

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

Christianity.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

I and my father are 1 does not

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

mean I'm God.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

What is the context?

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

For the context, you have to go 7

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

verses before. If you read the gospel of

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

John, chapter number 10, verse number 23, it

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

says, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, entered

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

the porch in Solomon's temple.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

Verse number 24,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

the Jews surrounded him

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

and asked him,

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

how long does make us doubt? If thou

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

art the Christ, tell us plainly.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

Verse number 25, Jesus Christ, peace be upon

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

him, said,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

I told you but you believe not. The

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

work that I do, bear witness of my

00:06:59 --> 00:06:59

father.

00:07:00 --> 00:07:01

Verse number 26,

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

you are not my sheep, therefore you believe

00:07:04 --> 00:07:04

not in me.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

Verse number 27,

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

who follow me, they listen to me.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

Verse number 28, no man can pluck them

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

out of my hand. Verse number 29, my

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

father is greater than all. No man can

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

pluck them out of my father's hand. I

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

and my father are 1. What is the

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

context?

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

If I say my father is a doctor,

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

I am a doctor, I and my father

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

are 1, do we become 1 human me?

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

You don't know English?

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

My father is a doctor. I am a

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

doctor. I and my father are 1. Meaning

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

purpose, we are 1. We both are doctors.

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

So here Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

saying, no man can pluck them out of

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

my hand, the followers.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

No man can pluck them out of my

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

father's hand. I and my father are 1.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

That means in delivering the message of God,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

they are 1.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

Nor does it mean they are 1 in

00:07:51 --> 00:07:51

purpose.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

The sister doesn't know the context. Therefore, I

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

say, I'm more Christian than you because I

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

follow your Bible more than what you are

00:07:59 --> 00:07:59

following.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

Verse number 31.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

The Jews, they pick up stones

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

to stone Jesus Christ peace be upon him.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

So Jesus Christ peace be upon him replied

00:08:08 --> 00:08:09

in verse number 32.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

Many good works have I done, for which

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

of the good works do you want to

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

stone me? Verse number 33. We do not

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

stone you for any good work. We stone

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

you because you blaspheme.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

You being a man, you call yourself God.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

Same thing how the sister is thinking that

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

Jesus called God.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

So Jesus replies, is it not mentioned in

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

your scriptures?

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

82nd Psalms verse number 6, if the word

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

of God comes to Him and if you

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

call him God, the scripture is not broken.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

Jesus is telling the Jews who want to

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

stone him. I'm not blaspheming.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

If the word of God came to whom

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

and you call him God, the scripture is

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

not broken.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

So I'm reading the Bible.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

I'm following the Bible more than that brother,

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

more than the sister. They are screaming screaming

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

screaming.

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

She's like, Matthew Matthew doesn't say only I

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

and my father are 1.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

She doesn't want to apologize, oh, so I

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

made a mistake.

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09

She wants to keep on talking and wants

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

to give a free lecture. You want to

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

give a lecture?

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

Give an ad in the paper.

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

You have mass communication

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

and see how many turn up.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

I doubt that even 200 will turn up.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:21

Leave aside 20,000.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

So Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, never

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

claimed divinity.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

He never said, I'm God.
