These Christians Forgave An Unthinkable Muslim Act Of Violence by malvisguy212: 10:40pm On Apr 24, 2015
It took only a few hours, but it was
enough time for hundreds of radical
Muslims in Niger, West Africa, to destroy
dozens of churches and several Christian
homes. Ten people lost their lives and
hundreds were injured when Muslim
mobs went on the deadly rampage in
early January.
Now, three months later, Christians living
there are moving forward, determined to
still preach the Gospel despite the
dangers.
CBN News has obtained exclusive, never-
seen-before video of dozens of these
angry Muslims attacking, then burning
Pastor Musa Issa's church.
"They took pews, Bibles, chairs and
sound equipment then set them on fire,"
Issa, pastor of Bethel Horizon Church in
Niamey the capital city, said. "They did
this while chanting, 'Allahu Akbar!' I felt
so sad. I started to cry."
WRESTLING AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES;
The cell phone video also shows the
crowd beating a member of Issa's church.
"I feel horrible when I watch the video. I
ask myself 'Why'? Why did they do this to
us? What did we do to deserve this?'"
Issa said.
It happened January 17, just 10 days
after two Muslim terrorists stormed the
offices of French magazine Charlie
Hebdo, executing 12 people for
publishing satirical images of the Islam's
Prophet Mohammed.
About 3,600 miles away in Niger,
Muslims, angered by the cartoons,
attacked the country's Christians in
revenge.
"We spent years building the church,"
Issa told CBN News while standing in the
ruins of his church. "Within minutes it
was all gone!"
And it wasn't just Pastor Issa's church.
Mobs also destroyed Boureima Kimso's
church.
"SIXTY-NINE CHURCHES and 11 homes were
destroyed. That's a total of 80 Christian
buildings within a few hours," Kimso
said.
Kimso, head of the Alliance of the
Evangelical Churches in Niger, says the
viciousness of the attacks shocked the
Christian community.
In Zinder, Niger's second largest city,
attackers burned all but one church to
the ground. And in the capital city
Niamey, 45 churches were destroyed,
including Pastor Kimso's.
"Absolutely, it was premeditated," Kimso
said. "It was organized. It was shocking
because systematically in a few hours
churches were targeted and houses
attacked, so it means that someone
organized and executed this plan."
Three months later, the government of
Niger has still not arrested anyone in
connection with the attacks.
"I tell our brothers and sisters that we
don't wrestle against flesh and blood but
against principalities," said Kimso. "We
have to encourage ourselves because
persecution is part of the life of the
Church. There is no church that existed
without persecution."
In addition to destroying several
churches, the rioters also targeted
Christian schools.
CBN News visited one such school on the
outskirts of Niger's capital city. The school
was home to some 240 students, the
majority of whom were Muslim.
As the Muslim mob ransacked each
classroom, they left behind this message
on each blackboard: "There is no God but
God and the Prophet Mohammed is his
messenger."
RELIGION OF PEACE;
One of the teachers, David Bye, now
helps oversee rebuilding efforts.
"I think this message on the blackboard
they are trying to tell us (Christians) that
we really don't belong here. This is a
Muslim area and they want to keep it
pure for them. They don't want any
Christians here," Bye said.
It's an accusation Muslim leaders flatly
deny.
"Islam is a religion of tolerance and
peace," Boubacar Seydou, of the Islamic
Association of Niger, said. "In Islam, we
are not familiar with such acts of
violence!"
Seydou is also key leader at Niger's
largest mosque. He allowed CBN News to
attend and document Friday prayers.
In his first television interview since the
attacks, Seydou denied that Muslims
were involved in the attacks.
"Muslims did not take part in these
attacks. Sure, there were many Muslims
protesting the cartoons, but no one
pushed them to attack churches. I'm sure
if we arrested some of those involved in
the church burnings you'd discover that
in fact Christians were among those
taking part in the violence!" Seydou said.
Pastor Zakaria Jadi, whose church and
home were among those destroyed, says
it is ludicrous to claim Christians were
involved.
"The mob kept chanting over and over in
Arabic 'God is great!' God is great' as they
robbed and burned my home. I've lived
with Muslims all my life. I know a Muslim
when he stands in front of me!" Jadi said.
The Nigerien government is in
negotiations with members of the
Christian community to try and figure out
how on earth they are going to rebuild all
these churches. In the meantime, with so
many churches still destroyed, many
Christians are gathering in the shadows
of their burned out churches.
FORGIVENESS;
Pastor Jadi's wife Ruth, holding her
burned Bible, has forgiven the men who
committed this atrocity.
"My prayer is that they would come to
know Jesus and that the Lord would
touch them even in a dream. I want God
to do to them what He did to Paul the
Apostle when he persecuted Christians.
God touched him on his way to
Damascus. I want those men to
experience the same touch from God!"
That is Pastor Issa's prayer, too. Today he
spends time developing closer
friendships with several of his Muslim
neighbors who actually fought back as
the mob destroyed the church and his
home.
"When the first and second wave of
rioters came, some of my Muslim
neighbors stood in front of the church.
But as more rioters attacked with
deadlier weapons, it become too
dangerous - so I told them to let them
in," Issa said.
Pastor Jadi says the threats have not
subsided, but he's alright with that. He
believes God is preparing Christians in
Niger for great times of revival.
"The Lord is training us; He's building us.
There cannot be increase without
hardships. If you want to go to the next
level you have to go through hardship,"
Jadi said.

And if you research and you find out its true, shd we all joinly curse u in the name of the Lord? Infact, you are cursed already. For the curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked.
Just imagine the balant lie the leaders of islam tell. Those acts are not carried out by Muslims, even when they chant their incantations? He means christians will attack and burn their own churches and homes? How depraved can Muslims be. How satanic. And yet am told here that Mohammed was the promised help and comforter to the believers in Jesus christ of Nazareth.
Satan is lying to the Muslims to keep them bound. If he ended in lying, it won't be so bad. He put the law of apostacy against them. So even when they realised they have been lied to, they can't leave.
Pls I need a Muslim to define peace to me.

Islam concept of peace is when all man becomes a muslim and there is no more fitna. If a country becomes a muslim nation, according to Islam, there will be peace, but a non-muslim nation can never experince peace but war.

allahh asked muslims to fight until there is no more fitna or unbelief and then there will be peace. So the concept of peace to muslims is that all countries must become a muslim nation to peace to reign or rest jihad will continue against the infidels.

Gospel of John chapter 1
Reading and Interpretation by Vic Alexander
From the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures
Youkhanna
John 1
1. In the beginning [of creation] there was the Milta*; and that Milta* was with Allaha; and Allaha was [the embodiment of] that Milta.* 2. This was in the beginning with Allaha. 3. Everything was within his power*, [otherwise] nothing would ever exist.* 4. Through him [there] was Life* and Life became the spark* of humanity 5. And that [ensuing] fire* lights the darkness and darkness does not overshadow it.
6. There was a man sent by Allaha, his name [was] John [the Baptist.] 7. He came for that testimony, to testify [concerning] the light, so that every human [being] may [come] to believe by his [testimony*.] 8. He was not the light, except that he was to testify [concerning] it*.
9. There was the light of the truth, that which lights everyone who is born*.
10. He was with the people* and the people [came into being] by his hand* and the people did not know Him. 11. He came to his own and his own did not receive him.
12. But all those who did receive him, He assigned them to be children* of Allaha, [to them] who believed in his name; 13. They who [did not become so] through blood, nor through the desire* of the flesh and neither through a man's willpower*; except they became born [so] from Allaha.
14. And the Manifestation became flesh and made his dwelling amongst us, and we saw His glory, glory as [that] uniquely [of the nature] of the Creator, Full of grace and blessing.
15. John [the Baptist ] testified to him and cried out, saying, “This is the one [of whom] they said, 'The one who comes after me And yet is ahead of me, because he arrived first.’“
16. And because of his abundant [grace] we have all been fulfilled, Blessing upon blessing.* 17. The Law came to us by the hand of Moses. [But] the truth and grace was through Eashoa the Messiah. 18. No human [being] ever saw Allaha, except for the only born Allaha, He who existed in the bosom of his Father, [Who] proclaimed* Him.
19. And this is the testimony of John [the Baptist,] as Jews of Jerusalem sent high priests and Levites, to ask him, “Who are you?” 20. And he informed them, and did not deny it, saying*, “I am not the Anointed One*.” 21. And they asked him, “Then what, are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” Are you a prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22. And they said to him, “Who are you? So we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23. He said, “‘I am the voice that cries in the wilderness, lay out the path [for] Maryah' as Isaiah the prophet proclaimed.”
24. And the ones who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25. And they asked him, saying (to him,) “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Anointed One, nor Elijah, nor a prophet?” 26. [Then] John answered them, saying, “I am baptizing with water*, but amongst you stands one whom you do not know, 27. “He who comes after me, whose shoe laces I am not worthy of untying.” 28. These [events] occurred in Bethany, by the other side of [the] Jordan [river,] where John was baptizing. 29. And the following day John saw Eashoa approaching him, and he said, “Behold the Lamb of Allaha, who takes away the sin of the universe. 30. “This is the one of whom I said, 'After me comes a man* who [goes] before me, for he was [always] ahead of me.' 31. “And I would not know him, except that he was to be known to Israel, [and] because of this came I baptizing with water*.” 32. And [thus] testified John and said, “You shall see the Holy Spirit like a dove nestling upon him. 33. “And I would not have known him, except for the [one who] sent me to baptize with the waters, the one who told me, 'Whoever you see upon whom the nestling Spirit holding firmly, he shall baptize with the Holy Spirit.' 34. “And I saw and am testifying that he is the Son of Allaha.”
35. And on the second day [there] stood John with two of his disciples. 36. And he gazed upon Eashoa as he walked, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of Allaha!” 37. And both his disciples heard it* and they followed Eashoa. 38. And Eashoa turned and saw them coming after him, and he said to them, “What do you want?” They said to him, “[Our] Master*, where do you reside*?” 39. He said to them, “Come on and see [for yourselves.]” And they went and saw where he was, and they remained with him that day--and it was the tenth hour. 40. But one of the two who had heard it from John and had followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon. 41. He first found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Anointed One!” 42. And he brought them to Eashoa. Eashoa gazed at [Simon] and said, “You are Simon, the son of the dove*, you shall be called Keepa*.”
43. On the following day, it pleased Eashoa to go to Galilee, and he found Philip, and he said to him, “Follow me.” 44. But Philip was from Bethsaida, from the town of Andrew and Simon. 45. Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “The one of whom wrote Moses in the Law and the prophets, we have found him, [he is] Eashoa, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth;” 46. [But] Nathaniel said to him, “From Nazareth, is it possible anything good can [come out] of there?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47. Eashoa saw Nathaniel approaching him, and he said to him, “Behold a true son of Israel, in whom there is no duplicity!” 48. And Nathaniel said to him, “From when did you know me?” Eashoa answered him, saying, “I knew you before Philip called you, as I saw you [sitting] under the fig tree.” 49. [And] Nathaniel replied, saying, “Master, you are the Son of Allaha! You are the King of Israel!” 50. Eashoa replied and said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see a great [deal] more than these!” 51. He said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, from now on you shall see the heaven [that I have] opened and the angels of Allaha as they ascend and descend to the Son of Man.*”
Footnotes: 1:1 [all instances] Literal Aramaic word retained: “Manifestation.” “Milta” or “Miltha” is an Aramaic word that has been set aside for only sacred use. Only the Messiah Eashoa is ever to be called the Milta. Grammatically, “Milta” means the essential connotation for a person or thing. There is no true English language equivalent for this word. -- 1:3 Literal Aramaic [Aramaic]: “[In his] hand.” -- 1:4. 1 “And without his hand, not one [thing that] became would have become.” -- 1:4. 2 “Lives,” whenever it represents: “life everlasting” is stated in the plural. When used in this sense it will always be capitalized in this translation and appear as “Life.” -- 1:4. 3 “Light.” -- 1:5 “Light.” -- 1:7 “Hand.” -- 1:8 “The light.” -- 1:9. 1 “Gives Life to.” -- 1:9. 2 “Comes to [people, or] the universe.” -- 1:10. 1 “The universe.” -- 1:10. 2 Aramaic expression: He created them. -- 1:12 “Sons of Allaha.” -- 1:13. 1 “Will.” -- 1:13. 2 Literal expression: “Through satisfaction of man [or power of maturity.]” -- 1:16 Literal expression: “And from his fullness we have all been satisfied, grace in place of grace.” -- 1:18 “Spoke of.” -- 1:20. 1 “Informing.” -- 1:20. 2 The Messiah. -- 1:26 “Waters.” -- 1:30 “Mighty [man.]” -- 1:31 “Waters.” -- 1:37 “As they heard.” -- 1:38. 1 “Rabban.” -- 1:38. 2 Literal expression: “Where dwell you?” -- 1:42. 1 Literal The Holy Spirit. -- 1:42. 2 Aramaic name retained: “Rock,” which is Anglicized as “Peter.” -- 1:51 “Bar-nasha,” is a theological concept when used in this construction. Sometimes it means: “humanity,” other times: “a human being.”

These [events] occurred in Bethany, by the other side of [the] Jordan [river,] where John was baptizing. 29. And the following day John saw Eashoa approaching him, and he said, “Behold the Lamb of Allaha, who takes away the sin of the universe. 30. “This is the one of whom I said, 'After me comes a man* who [goes] before me, for he was [always] ahead of me.' 31. “And I would not know him, except that he was to be known to Israel, [and] because of this came I baptizing with water*.” 32. And [thus] testified John and said, “You shall see the Holy Spirit like a dove nestling upon him. 33. “And I would not have known him, except for the [one who] sent me to baptize with the waters, the one who told me, 'Whoever you see upon whom the nestling Spirit holding firmly, he shall baptize with the Holy Spirit.' 34. “And I saw and am testifying that he is the Son of Allaha.”
35. And on the second day [there] stood John with two of his disciples. 36. And he gazed upon Eashoa as he walked, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of Allaha!” 37. And both his disciples heard it* and they followed Eashoa. 38. And Eashoa turned and saw them coming after him, and he said to them, “What do you want?” They said to him, “[Our] Master*, where do you reside*?” 39. He said to them, “Come on and see [for yourselves.]” And they went and saw where he was, and they remained with him that day--and it was the tenth hour. 40. But one of the two who had heard it from John and had followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon. 41. He first found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Anointed One!” 42. And he brought them to Eashoa. Eashoa gazed at [Simon] and said, “You are Simon, the son of the dove*, you shall be called Keepa*.”
43. On the following day, it pleased Eashoa to go to Galilee, and he found Philip, and he said to him, “Follow me.” 44. But Philip was from Bethsaida, from the town of Andrew and Simon. 45. Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “The one of whom wrote Moses in the Law and the prophets, we have found him, [he is] Eashoa, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth;” 46. [But] Nathaniel said to him, “From Nazareth, is it possible anything good can [come out] of there?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47. Eashoa saw Nathaniel approaching him, and he said to him, “Behold a true son of Israel, in whom there is no duplicity!” 48. And Nathaniel said to him, “From when did you know me?” Eashoa answered him, saying, “I knew you before Philip called you, as I saw you [sitting] under the fig tree.” 49. [And] Nathaniel replied, saying, “Master, you are the Son of Allaha! You are the King of Israel!” 50. Eashoa replied and said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see a great [deal] more than these!” 51. He said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, from now on you shall see the heaven [that I have] opened and the angels of Allaha as they ascend and descend to the Son of Man.*”
Footnotes: 1:1 [all instances] Literal Aramaic word retained: “Manifestation.” “Milta” or “Miltha” is an Aramaic word that has been set aside for only sacred use.

Gospel of John chapter 1
Reading and Interpretation by Vic Alexander
From the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures
Youkhanna
John 1
1. In the beginning [of creation] there was the Milta*; and that Milta* was with Allaha; and Allaha was [the embodiment of] that Milta.* 2. This was in the beginning with Allaha. 3. Everything was within his power*, [otherwise] nothing would ever exist.* 4. Through him [there] was Life* and Life became the spark* of humanity 5. And that [ensuing] fire* lights the darkness and darkness does not overshadow it.
6. There was a man sent by Allaha, his name [was] John [the Baptist.] 7. He came for that testimony, to testify [concerning] the light, so that every human [being] may [come] to believe by his [testimony*.] 8. He was not the light, except that he was to testify [concerning] it*.
9. There was the light of the truth, that which lights everyone who is born*.
10. He was with the people* and the people [came into being] by his hand* and the people did not know Him. 11. He came to his own and his own did not receive him.
12. But all those who did receive him, He assigned them to be children* of Allaha, [to them] who believed in his name; 13. They who [did not become so] through blood, nor through the desire* of the flesh and neither through a man's willpower*; except they became born [so] from Allaha.
14. And the Manifestation became flesh and made his dwelling amongst us, and we saw His glory, glory as [that] uniquely [of the nature] of the Creator, Full of grace and blessing.
15. John [the Baptist ] testified to him and cried out, saying, “This is the one [of whom] they said, 'The one who comes after me And yet is ahead of me, because he arrived first.’“
16. And because of his abundant [grace] we have all been fulfilled, Blessing upon blessing.* 17. The Law came to us by the hand of Moses. [But] the truth and grace was through Eashoa the Messiah. 18. No human [being] ever saw Allaha, except for the only born Allaha, He who existed in the bosom of his Father, [Who] proclaimed* Him.
19. And this is the testimony of John [the Baptist,] as Jews of Jerusalem sent high priests and Levites, to ask him, “Who are you?” 20. And he informed them, and did not deny it, saying*, “I am not the Anointed One*.” 21. And they asked him, “Then what, are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” Are you a prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22. And they said to him, “Who are you? So we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23. He said, “‘I am the voice that cries in the wilderness, lay out the path [for] Maryah' as Isaiah the prophet proclaimed.”
24. And the ones who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25. And they asked him, saying (to him,) “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Anointed One, nor Elijah, nor a prophet?” 26. [Then] John answered them, saying, “I am baptizing with water*, but amongst you stands one whom you do not know, 27. “He who comes after me, whose shoe laces I am not worthy of untying.” 28.

Jesus called God Allaha.. Allaha and Allah are same. since you have foolishly insulted your creator.. I pray HE never forgives you





Lol @ original bible. U Muslims be funny.
Go and fabricate more believable stuff.

Qur'an 3:54—And they (the unbelievers) planned to deceive, and Allah planned to deceive (the unbelievers), and Allah is the best of deceivers.

Qur'an 7:99—Are they then safe from Allah's deception? No one feels safe from Allah's deception except those that shall perish.

Qur'an 8:30—And (remember) when the unbelievers plotted deception against you (O Muhammad), to imprison you, or kill you, or expel you. They plotted deception, but Allah also plotted deception; and Allah is the best of deceivers.


Quran calls Allah a makr, in fact the best makrthere is:
But they (the Jews) were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers (Wamakaroowamakara AllahuwaAllahu khayru al-makireena)! S. 3:54; cf. 8:30
Other texts that identify Allah as a makrinclude:
Are they then secure from Allah's deception (makra Allahi)? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's deception (makra Allahi)save folk that perish. S. 7:99
So they schemed a scheme: and We schemed a scheme (Wamakaroo makran wamakarna makran),while they perceived not. S. 27:50

The word for deception/deceiver/scheme is makr. The lexical sources define the term as:
Miim-Kaf-Ra= To practice deceit or guile or circumvention, practice evasion or elusion, to plot, to exercise art or craft or cunning, act with policy, practice stratagem.
makaravb.


And they cheated/deceived and God cheated/deceived, and God (is) the best (of) the cheaters/deceivers." (S. 3:54, Muhammad Ahmed-Samira)

"And when those who disbelieved deceive/scheme at you to affix/affirm you, or kill you, or bring you out, and they scheme/deceive, and God deceives/schemes and God (is) best (of) the deceivers/schemers." (S. 8:30, Muhammad Ahmed-Samira)



The phrase is often translated into English as "best of planners," "best of schemers," or "best of plotters," but the root word (makr) means "deception." Hence, the following Qur'an verses should be rendered as follows:
Qur'an 3:54—And they (the unbelievers) planned to deceive, and Allah planned to deceive (the unbelievers), and Allah is the best of deceivers.

Qur'an 7:99—Are they then safe from Allah's deception? No one feels safe from Allah's deception except those that shall perish.

Qur'an 8:30—And (remember) when the unbelievers plotted deception against you (O Muhammad), to imprison you, or kill you, or expel you. They plotted deception, but Allah also plotted deception; and Allah is the best of deceivers.

Since the Bible declares that Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), the question must be raised: Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?”


Muslims don't believe that jesus paid the price of christains sins yet their hadith teaches them this;

Sahih Muslim 6666--Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: No Muslim would die but Allah would admit in his stead a Jew or a Christian in Hell-Fire.

Sahih Muslim 6668--Allah's Messenger [said]: There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians.

I have to warn u Muslims that christains And jews can't take away your sins. . We don't have that power. U were lied to.

6. There was a man sent by Allaha, his name [was] John [the Baptist.] 7. He came for that testimony, to testify [concerning] the light, so that every human [being] may [come] to believe by his [testimony*.] 8. He was not the light, except that he was to testify [concerning] it*.
9. There was the light of the truth, that which lights everyone who is born*.
10. He was with the people* and the people [came into being] by his hand* and the people did not know Him. 11. He came to his own and his own did not receive him.

No human [being] ever saw Allaha, except for the only born Allaha, He who existed in the bosom of his Father, [Who] proclaimed* Him.
19. And this is the testimony of John [the Baptist,] as Jews of Jerusalem sent high priests and Levites, to ask him, “Who are you?” 20. And he informed them, and did not deny it, saying*, “I am not the Anointed One*.” 21.

So we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23. He said, “‘I am the voice that cries in the wilderness, lay out the path [for] Maryah' as Isaiah the prophet proclaimed.”
24. And the ones who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25. And they asked him, saying (to him,) “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Anointed One, nor Elijah, nor a prophet?” 26. [Then] John answered them, saying, “I am baptizing with water*, but amongst you stands one whom you do not know, 27. “He who comes after me, whose shoe laces I am not worthy of untying.” 28. These [events] occurred in Bethany, by the other side of [the] Jordan [river,] where John was baptizing. 29. And the following day John saw Eashoa approaching him, and he said, “Behold the Lamb of Allaha, who takes away the sin of the universe. 30. “This is the one of whom I said, 'After me comes a man* who [goes] before me, for he was [always] ahead of me.' 31. “And I would not know him, except that he was to be known to Israel, [and] because of this came I baptizing with water*.” 32. And [thus] testified John and said, “You shall see the Holy Spirit like a dove nestling upon him. 33. “And I would not have known him, except for the [one who] sent me to baptize with the waters, the one who told me, 'Whoever you see upon whom the nestling Spirit holding firmly, he shall baptize with the Holy Spirit.' 34. “And I saw and am testifying that he is the Son of Allaha.”
35. And on the second day [there] stood John with two of his disciples. 36. And he gazed upon Eashoa as he walked, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of Allaha!” 37. And both his disciples heard it* and they followed Eashoa. 38. And Eashoa turned and saw them coming after him, and he said to them, “What do you want?” They said to him, “[Our] Master*, where do you reside*?” 39. He said to them, “Come on and see [for yourselves.]” And they went and saw where he was, and they remained with him that day--and it was the tenth hour. 40. But one of the two who had heard it from John and had followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon. 41. He first found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Anointed One!” 42. And he brought them to Eashoa. Eashoa gazed at [Simon] and said, “You are Simon, the son of the dove*, you shall be called Keepa*.”
43. On the following day, it pleased Eashoa to go to Galilee, and he found Philip, and he said to him, “Follow me.” 44. But Philip was from Bethsaida, from the town of Andrew and Simon. 45. Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “The one of whom wrote Moses in the Law and the prophets, we have found him, [he is] Eashoa, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth;” 46. [But] Nathaniel said to him, “From Nazareth, is it possible anything good can [come out] of there?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47. Eashoa saw Nathaniel approaching him, and he said to him, “Behold a true son of Israel, in whom there is no duplicity!” 48. And Nathaniel said to him, “From when did you know me?” Eashoa answered him, saying, “I knew you before Philip called you, as I saw you [sitting] under the fig tree.” 49. [And] Nathaniel replied, saying, “Master, you are the Son of Allaha! You are the King of Israel!” 50. Eashoa replied and said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see a great [deal] more than these!” 51. He said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, from now on you shall see the heaven [that I have] opened and the angels of Allaha as they ascend and descend to the Son of Man.*”
Footnotes: 1:1 [all instances] Literal Aramaic word retained: “Manifestation.” “Milta” or “Miltha” is an Aramaic word that has been set aside for only sacred use. Only the Messiah Eashoa is ever to be called the Milta. Grammatically, “Milta” means the essential connotation for a person or thing. There is no true English language equivalent for this word. -- 1:3 Literal Aramaic [Aramaic]: “[In his] hand.” -- 1:4. 1 “And without his hand, not one [thing that] became would have become.” -- 1:4. 2 “Lives,” whenever it represents: “life everlasting” is stated in the plural. When used in this sense it will always be capitalized in this translation and appear as “Life.” -- 1:4. 3 “Light.” -- 1:5 “Light.” -- 1:7 “Hand.” -- 1:8 “The light.” -- 1:9. 1 “Gives Life to.” -- 1:9. 2 “Comes to [people, or] the universe.” -- 1:10. 1 “The universe.” -- 1:10. 2 Aramaic expression: He created them. -- 1:12 “Sons of Allaha.” -- 1:13. 1 “Will.” -- 1:13. 2 Literal expression: “Through satisfaction of man [or power of maturity.]” -- 1:16 Literal expression: “And from his fullness we have all been satisfied, grace in place of grace.” -- 1:18 “Spoke of.” -- 1:20. 1 “Informing.” -- 1:20. 2 The Messiah. -- 1:26 “Waters.” -- 1:30 “Mighty [man.]” -- 1:31 “Waters.” -- 1:37 “As they heard.” -- 1:38. 1 “Rabban.” -- 1:38. 2 Literal expression: “Where dwell you?” -- 1:42. 1 Literal The Holy Spirit. -- 1:42. 2 Aramaic name retained: “Rock,” which is Anglicized as “Peter.” -- 1:51 “Bar-nasha,” is a theological concept when used in this construction. Sometimes it means: “humanity,” other times: “a human being.”





Jesus called God Allaha.. Allaha and Allah are same. since you have foolishly insulted your creator.. I pray HE never forgives you





It so much amazes me how easily you muslims peddle lies here and there...

In aramaic 'God' is 'Elah' or 'Elaha' not Allaha, and it is a title not a name.
