hopefully, you now see why i said that they are not saved and their Mo was not assured of salvation. What you called aimless link is an online koran.

Sahih International
Or do they say, "He has invented it?" Say, "If I have invented it, you will not possess for me [the power of protection] from Allah at all. He is most knowing of that in which you are involved. Sufficient is He as Witness between me and you, and He is the Forgiving the Merciful."
46:9
to top

Sahih International
Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."


those are Mo's words from the koran, not just some vision in some hadith.

You have failed to show me where it i written that he will not be saved. . .He says he doesn't know what will be done with him or them. . .The passage doesn't mention after life, doesn't mention anything. . .Its possible he was talking about a situation that is different from what you want me to believe. . .Where does it state in the koran that he is not sure of going into paradise?. . .SHOW ME!!

@Image123 again. The unrepentant public liar and tithe collector. You won't go and study your bible first before jumping into an argument. Always running from one thread to the other arguing about everything without presenting facts.

Dude you better go and do something reasonable with your life before you regret it on your death bed. Pastoral work is not your calling. With the way you lie shamelessly, you would have a wonderful career being a liartologist. Nonsense!!

And who says i'm not or have not? You like most atheists are just shooting blanks running from pillar to post. Do you have any one important thing to say, or yet another question pulled out of the pocket?

Firing blanks? Naa, I'm not a Chelsea striker.You haven't answered how you know yahweh is God and The Flying Spaghetti Monster (PBUH), alusi, alekwu, olodumare are "gods".So its like you're the one doing a Torres here until you answer the question.

PS: please when you tell us how you know, tell us why yahweh created the gods.

You did no such thing. . .This is what you posted from the koran. . .

Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."

This lacks details. . .It does not mention the afterlife, does not mention paradies, does not mention anything. . .He could be talking about anything. . .I do not know what will be done with me or you where?. . .On what issue?. . .

Dude, you should leave image123 alone, he lies at any given opportunity. And believe me, you thought you've brought proof that he didn't write? Wait and see how he's going to deny it once again even with your proof.

Let's bet on this and see.

Bro, but allah has also saved many people too and allah is also true.The bible and isn't the oldest book and Hebrew isn't the oldest language.Those that used older languages had gods they worshipped so tell me how yahweh isn't a Jewish concept.Read your bible, Moses' trick from "God" of turning a stick to serpent was matched by the Egyptians and their Gods...so much for how real yahweh is and the Egyptian gods aren't.

Dunno about allah saving anybody. i'm told(even by mazaje) that muslims simply do not know if they are saved. It is left for allah to decide at the end whether they will be saved or not. That end has not come.
The older language folks are not atheists, what is your point?Can atheists perform Moses' tricks whatever that is?

Sure, he is presently in paradise with Allah. . .The hadith says so. . .He was taken into paradise on the back of a winged horse from the al'aqsar mosque. . .He was saved from the fires of hell to which you will go into for not accepting islam as the true path. . .

Again time to read what the muslin view is in the yahoo link
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090830185320AAtaIxt

The hadith was a vision purportedly. He came back to earth and as a good muslim did not know if he would be saved when he died. Any s Linda can have a vision, not the same as being presently in paradise, understand?

Alexk2: I dont think angry is the correct word, bro....itz 'pity' d fellow.
talking from experience, i pity whoever think/blv there is no God.
how can u watch the intelligent design of the earth and all itz skies, the plants and man and still think there is no intelligent brain(God) behind all that...'a fool say to themselves, there is no God' psalm 14:1...

By 'God' you should first understand that it/they are not of human nature or physic but unseen forces that sustain the universe. Many of you Abrahamics are so into this 'skydaddy' thing that intelligent people can't take you seriously.
True God doesn't have a brain, leg, hand or butt to sit on a throne.
These are mere personified figures to give meaning and better understanding of the universe especially in the Old days as this method made it easier to explain creation and nature.

Your Bible God doesn't exist, and until you realize that No God choses a people above others, or originates from the middle east or begats a human child you might never know Who God truly is. And you would keep living an illusion

That is just to start with. You can do your research. What makes a believer not corrupt as an unbeliever is that the blood of Jesus has washed him and made him a new man. Its like formatting a corrupt file, or using an antivirus.

Atigba: i intend asking the same question,there is a colleague of mine who doesnt believe in God, majority of people in my office hate him for that but he is nice.He is the most truthful and sincere person i have ever come across in my life..All the religions people in my office steal government money he is the only one that believed in doing the right thing i love him for that.

Goodness is of the heart(not literal), The most religious Christians are horrible hypocrites who are far from what they preach.
A God is not responsible for Your deeds, only You are, and all deeds are recorded and rewarded by the Universe itself. It's wise to always exchange and interact with positive energies while trying to keep your world in balance with good character. Bad deeds only destroy the soul(not literal)

Mzsolex: enforced you say?, if 1/4 of these things are enforced you think you'll still be who you are now... Ofcourse there's freewill, reason why a xtrian won't force xtianity down ur throat(that is not thesame 4 a particular religion). @homosexuallity, ]b]even a Sango worshipper will frown at that one.[/b] It has a lot 2 do wit morality than wit religion. Lemme ask you this question, can you hold down a human and slit his throat?
Wrong! Spirituality doesn't determine your way of life neither does it dictate how to live it. tradition does.
A Sango worshiper to me doesn't have be Yoruba, because Sango is For All.
Understanding him is what makes the difference, As Germans call Sango Thor, Igbo call him Amadioha. Sango exists everywhere in every pagan society.
now to tradition- homosexual is a taboo in Yoruba customs but in Most parts of Europe it is not.
Now an European Sango worshipper(who calls Sango another name) would not have anything against homosexuality because their tradition allows it.

In that case, He created all things.
