May I stand on the existing,
protocol?
My name is,
Andrea.
I'm a lecturer in this institution. Please please
let the sister ask a question. Sister, can
you speak a bit loudly and slowly? Yeah.
I'm a lecturer in this institution. I work
in mass communication department. Sorry. You're working? In
mass communication
Mass communication. Masha'allah. That's my field also. Mass
communication. Yeah.
So with all due respect,
I would like to clear something that, you
know, the young man could not really explain
very well. The bible recorded the trinity.
Christ said that I and my father are
1. Very good. And when Christ was living
this world, he told his his followers, I'm
going in the Holy Spirit. Do you know,
sister, do you that time. Sister, do you
know the reference Excuse me. Excuse me. Sister,
do you know I have really studied many
many
many many religions
including,
Islam, Buddhism,
traditional,
and a lot of them. Even the Jewish,
they say, but from my own observation,
every religion is talking about peace.
So
concerning what is you said that the only
way somebody can have peace is through
Islamism.
You are right, but that should be only
for the Muslims.
So that for those who are non Muslims,
they can still find peace by doing the
right thing because God is 1. That is
the concept of God.
So let us stop talking about
religion politics.
Let us talk about uniting our nation
because this is the problem we're having.
Look at our group oil. We have refineries
and they're not functioning. I will reply to
you, sister. Oh, god. I will reply to
you. This is not a lecture time.
Come on, please. Sister, this is not a
lecture time. Did you hear the rules? Your
question should be in 2 or 3 sentences.
No way. This is the question answer time,
not a lecturing time. I have understood your
question. You told me. You have quoted me
from the bible That's the nation. That I
and my father are 1.
I want to know Please. Do you know
the reference?
Do you know where does the Bible says
Yes. Where Jesus Christ said, I and my
father are 1? Yes. The Bible says so
in book of Matthew.
You're wrong. Nowhere does the Bible say in
book of Matthew. John
10. John 10.
Bible says Go to John 10 too and
don't let and then
man. Let us
let
us great man in our own image and
likeness.
Mister, you have misquoted your bible.
I cannot hear you. Okay. You are shouting
I cannot hear you. Now your time is
over.
Wait wait, sister finish. You cannot talk for
long. Please.
Put off that microphone. Public talk. That sister
also give a lecture. Put off the microphone.
You can hire the stadium. No. You are
a profi you are in mass communication.
You can hire the stadium.
You can hire the stadium tomorrow. Hello? Hello?
You can hire the stadium tomorrow. Listen. This
is not a do you understand English? We
are talking about that. Do you understand English?
If you understand English, this is a questionnaire
that I'm not giving a speech time. Listen.
You are supposed to ask the question in
2 or 3 sentences. You are holding the
use of this nation this afternoon. I would
request the mic to be put off.
Put off the microphone. She doesn't understand English.
The sisters of mass communication,
she saw an opportunity.
Masha'Allah,
20,000 people, let me start preaching.
You you hired this all tomorrow and give
a talk. Let's see 20,000 come or not.
They will not come.
You ask a question, I want to reply.
No. Your microphone will be off because we
have a problem.
You have a problem.
I don't know what's this You have a
problem.
She told What's with what's the Jesus said,
I and my father are in gospel of
Matthew. She's lying.
Jesus said in the gospel of John chapter
number 10 verse number 30. I and my
father are 1.
She doesn't know a Bible. She claims to
be a Christian. Yeah. Beat you.
She is quoting a verse of the Bible
and she's saying it's in gospel of Matthew.
She's trying to pull a fast one.
No. She's trying to pull a fast one.
First question. Let me reply. Please.
What is the context?
What is the context of gospel of John
chapter number 10? Let the lady listen to
my answer. Brother,
let her listen to the answer.
She has a problem. She wants to give
a lecture, free lecture.
When she saw 20,000 people coming, she wants
to give a free lecture. She wants to
break the rules.
So anyone breaks the rule?
I clearly mentioned that the question should be
asked in 2 or 3 sentences.
The sister
quoted a verse from the Bible.
Gospel of John, chapter number 10, verse number
30. I and my father are 1.
What is the context?
I request everyone to be silent.
I request the people to be silent, please.
I request the audience
I request the audience to be silent.
Other people here Muslims of Nigeria.
Are you Muslims?
Yeah. So please keep quiet. Yeah.
Please keep quiet.
I want silence.
I want silence, please.
If someone is talking about Islam,
please keep quiet.
The sister quoted a she quoted a verse
of the Bible. She gave wrong reference. What
she said, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
said, I and my father are 1. My
challenge was
point out a single unequivocal statement,
a single unambiguous statement where Jesus Christ, peace
be upon, himself said that I am God
or where he says worship me, I accept
Christianity.
I and my father are 1 does not
mean I'm God.
What is the context?
For the context, you have to go 7
verses before. If you read the gospel of
John, chapter number 10, verse number 23, it
says, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, entered
the porch in Solomon's temple.
Verse number 24,
the Jews surrounded him
and asked him,
how long does make us doubt? If thou
art the Christ, tell us plainly.
Verse number 25, Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him, said,
I told you but you believe not. The
work that I do, bear witness of my
father.
Verse number 26,
you are not my sheep, therefore you believe
not in me.
Verse number 27,
who follow me, they listen to me.
Verse number 28, no man can pluck them
out of my hand. Verse number 29, my
father is greater than all. No man can
pluck them out of my father's hand. I
and my father are 1. What is the
context?
If I say my father is a doctor,
I am a doctor, I and my father
are 1, do we become 1 human me?
You don't know English?
My father is a doctor. I am a
doctor. I and my father are 1. Meaning
purpose, we are 1. We both are doctors.
So here Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
saying, no man can pluck them out of
my hand, the followers.
No man can pluck them out of my
father's hand. I and my father are 1.
That means in delivering the message of God,
they are 1.
Nor does it mean they are 1 in
purpose.
The sister doesn't know the context. Therefore, I
say, I'm more Christian than you because I
follow your Bible more than what you are
following.
Verse number 31.
The Jews, they pick up stones
to stone Jesus Christ peace be upon him.
So Jesus Christ peace be upon him replied
in verse number 32.
Many good works have I done, for which
of the good works do you want to
stone me? Verse number 33. We do not
stone you for any good work. We stone
you because you blaspheme.
You being a man, you call yourself God.
Same thing how the sister is thinking that
Jesus called God.
So Jesus replies, is it not mentioned in
your scriptures?
82nd Psalms verse number 6, if the word
of God comes to Him and if you
call him God, the scripture is not broken.
Jesus is telling the Jews who want to
stone him. I'm not blaspheming.
If the word of God came to whom
and you call him God, the scripture is
not broken.
So I'm reading the Bible.
I'm following the Bible more than that brother,
more than the sister. They are screaming screaming
screaming.
She's like, Matthew Matthew doesn't say only I
and my father are 1.
She doesn't want to apologize, oh, so I
made a mistake.
She wants to keep on talking and wants
to give a free lecture. You want to
give a lecture?
Give an ad in the paper.
You have mass communication
and see how many turn up.
I doubt that even 200 will turn up.
Leave aside 20,000.
So Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, never
claimed divinity.
He never said, I'm God.
