That question should be passed to Muslims " If you do not read a book, how will you know what it contains". And we are waiting for your response.

Truth is that Muslims are told the Qur'an can never be translated into any other language. And the moment you take them up on that, they begin to make reference to a book no one is allowed to touch, let alone read!

If the Qur'an cannot be translated into another language so all can read and know what it says, then it is the same thing as saying that the Qur'an is meaningless. That is why some Muslim scholars will tell you that there is no "translation" of the Qur'an; rather, what they have are translations of the MEANING of the Qur'an!! Which again scores another rubbish; because in so far as the Quran is meaningless in the first place, there can be no translation of meaninglessness!!

Does it then surprise anyone that people will muder for a book whose meaning is lost, because it happens to have been translated from Quraish to English?

nossycheek:

As for the Holiness of our Bible, it is not in doubt. The clear difference is that Christians are matured and literate enough to differentiate their left from their right and not some bigots who doesn't even know that they have brains let alone use them but resort to violence for touching a bag containing a book; and not even doing what is in the book

Islam is not a religion to be questioned. Try questioning any issue in Islam, and answers will retrun by the sword!

Omogbajesu and the rest of the christians in the room,

Anytime a muslim converts to christianity u guys will say he left darkness for light. Are u sure u didn't leave light for darkness cos the essence of christianity is based on falsehood. Islam remains the only way to salvation whether u like it or not. U can "gba" anything as u want. Islam remains the fastest growing way of life. God will make u guys see reason.

Islam remains the fastest growing way of life.

does not mean its right.

@nyabinghi,

Omogbajesu and the rest of the christians in the room,

That is very true. More than that, they left freedom for bondage; mutual respect for tyranny; and cordial relationships for global terrorism. A quick visit to Pakistan, Afghanistan and even Saudi Arabia still reveals the heinous crimes Muslims engage in against their women, men and children.

Muslims also describe their converts to other religions as apostates; and worse than that, Islam teaches that they should be killed; unlike in Christianity where no one seeks your head for converting to another religion.

nyabinghi:

Are u sure u didn't leave light for darkness because the essence of christianity is based on falsehood.

That is how Muslims force themselves to interprete Christianity. However, it is in Islam we find al-Taqiyya as a fundamental doctrine. And we are still witnessing the al-Taqiyya falsehood in Islam today.

nyabinghi:

Islam does not provide any basis to God. Rather, I was shocked recently to discover that Allah in the Qur'an promises every Muslim will be taken to HELL (Qur'an 19:71). May God open your eyes and those of other Muslims to escape before it is too late.

You just acted like an illiterate that your fellows are. Where in the quran is there any promise or word of Salvation? But how can i blame you, when ure of the notion that when u die, ul go to paradise and drink alot of wine and sleep with 7virgins---what a religion _{(Violence&Illiteracy is its trademake)}!!! Is that the essence of your salvation, but u can't reason otherwise because even your mohammed was that gullible and even practised worse before dying- Ishouldn't expect better from u.

@my fellow believers esp those that have being so active from d beg. of this post, i must commend u.Babyosisi, u've made me proud again Onelove.
@stimulus, oh u made me so laughhhhhhhhh!!! thanks aswell.

To people out there, the only Way of Life _{(i can't call it religion)}, that boldly declares Salvation is Christ---"I am the [/b]Way, [b]the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me"- What boldness!!!

@To All Truth seekers everywhere,

Let's see if you can spot the difference?

Matthew 27: 5 " And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself."

Acts 1: 18 "Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and[b] falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels [/b] gushed out."

Is this a contradiction or are they just confessed?

Did Judas throw the silver away and hang himself according to the tales of Matthew or Did he purchase a field and Jump from a cliff according to the belief (myth and tales) of Luke?

Are these people (story tellers of the bible) confused or what?

You be the decider.

Pilgrim.1, You are always trying to cover up the contradictions of the bible.

So which one did he do first, did Judas Jump from the cliff and burst his guts then he got up and went to hang himself? Yeah Right.

If you can believe that you can believe anything.

What about the silver it says he threw it away, then another story says he brought a piece of land.

Let's face it these story in Matthew 27: 5 and Acts 1: 18 contradict each other.

Why don't you face the FACT that this is a contradiction instead of arguing blindly.

It's ignorant to see a contradiction with your own eyes and still continue arguing.

Rather than start another cycle of slander, simply go there and let us know what your worries are. Is that too much to ask?

Are you seeking to discuss, or you'd rather be asking to be served the way you have chosen to constantly be uncouth? Please let me know.

If you know it all then why do you ask?

So let discuss that, not cover up the facts of these contradictions.

You see, Kuns, if you really want to discuss, you would have shown that from the way you address people.

If you're not interested in discussing, then simply don't force yourself trying to slander people.

Hello - My suggestion, stay away from criticising another person's religion.

Banderas, leave am alone. Let him do as he wishes.

How bodi with you today?

Dspit all thse contras, The Way, The Word, is powerful cos Christainity is of power and not mere words. People try to contain the spiritual within their minds.

Do you really know what contraditions are? I will give you guys an example: If one gospel says he rose from the dead and then another says he did not rise, that is the real contradition and not this type: one says they saw two angels and the other says they saw only one. The fact is there was at least one angel.

More importantly, despite all these contras, The Way, The Word, is powerful cos Christainity is of power and not mere words. I see and do miracles in the name of Jesus Christ.

Yes, the spell of ignorance that christianity has cast on our people is powerful.

Miracles happen everyday in our ancient tradition cultures not the kind of miracles christians see every five years.

Even the false prophets (i.e followers of Paul the Liar) does miracles, and will use miracles to deceive people. Matthew 24: 24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;".

Anyway, let dispel the myth of this beliefs.


Matthew 27: 5 " And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself."

Acts 1: 18 "Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out."

What is the truth of this matter? Only one of these two accounts concerning Judas can be true and correct, or they are both wrong and lying through their teeth?


The Fact is they are both lying.

Let's put the belief in myth aside for a moment and deal with the FACTS.

The New testament (testament derived from the word testes the same word from which the word testicles was derived) in the works of Josephus Flavius Piso. The true author of the story of Jesus (eh-Zeus in the Latin).

Don't believe me, check this out for yourself.

so what do you have to say when you see me pray for someone who was confirmed HIV + and then aftr the prayrs went back for th check only to be confirmd -ve. I know you would say the edoctors made a mistake. What would you say of a man who was born blind but received sight during a prayer gathering? If the name of Jesus dos this, i think i will rather stick to that name. I will send post the account of a brother I know who was captured by ritual killers and how this sam Jesus you now catigate saved him. This was somebody that w searchd for for many days before finding him, he came home himself and narrated his ordeal.

MT 7:26 Jesus says that anyone who hears his words and does not do them is a fool. (Note: The translation now prevalent, "like a foolish man," in MT 7:26 is a dishonest attempt to alleviate the obvious inconsistency here in that the oldest Greek manuscripts use the same Greek word translated "fool" in MT 5:22 and "like a foolish man" in MT 7:26.)
MT 23:17-19 Jesus twice calls the Pharisees blind fools.

MT 17:20, 19:26, MK 9:23, 10:27, LK 17:6, 18:27 Jesus says that anything is possible to him who believes if he has the faith of a grain of mustard seed. All things are possible with God. A mountain can be commanded to move and it will move.

JN 7:2-10 Jesus tells his brothers that he is not going to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Tabernacles, then later goes secretly by himself. (Note: The words "not yet" were added to some versions at JN 7:8 in order to alleviate this problem. The context at JN 7:10 makes the deception clear, however.)

LK 22:66-71 There was no trial but merely an inquiry held by the Sanhedrin.
JN 18:13-24 There was no appearance before the Sanhedrin, only the private hearings before Annas and then Caiphas.

MT 26:63, LK 22:70 The high priest asks Jesus if he is the Son of God.

For the guys with the biblical contradiction, they seem no t understand what contrdictions mean. But come to think of it, how can Allah be helpless this much; he dances to th whims and caprices of his prophet.

hello cgift

a lot of issues are unsettling for me and one of them is the concept of GOD. would you agree with me that allah is not the same being as jehovah or yahweh, olorun, chi, mawu and other names for the supreme being in many cultures.

You are right o , they dont know what to be called contradictions. You are gradually moving to the stage BABS will respond to your post. Keep moving closer

Well, i wont evn answer your question because you do not believe their is God. Do you believe Jesus ver lived in the first place?

@babs, what is it? If you have the liver, put the issues out one after the other and lets iron it. Dont muddle them up.

ha ha cgift

nice one, na wah o

but I asked a valid question now, what has me believing in god or believing in whether jesus ever lived got to do with my question.
you may never know you might still convert me o

@Cgift

I decided I would not speak on this thread.

This people are picking Positional contrars and they are shouting it because their father the devil says they must do so. Remember the name of their father is Liar.

If you look at 9 you may say it is a 6 depending on the way you look at it.

If I told you my name was X does not mean my Surname cant be Y. So if someone heard you call me X does not mean my name cant be XY.

This people are the people that will lead you to hell. In their belly is the way of Destruction. The very Paradox is that this people may make it to Heaven if they turn away from their wicked ways.

THERE IS NEVER ANY CONTRADICTION IN THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE IS THE 100% WORD OF GOD. IT HAS BEEN TRIED IN FIRE AND REMAINS FOR EVER AND EVER.

IT IS THIS VERY BIBLE THE SINS OF MEN WILL BE JUDGED.

I AND YOU WILL BE JUDGED. HOLD FAST UNTO PURE WORD OF GOD (THE BIBLE)

IN MY YOUTH I HAD WARRED WITH SO MANY BOOKS THAT IF YOU DID NOT KNOW THE THEME OF THE BIBLE YOU WILL REGARD IT AS A CONFUSED BOOK.

WOE UNTO YOU WHO STRIVE WITH HIS MAKER.

In answer to your question in bold yes, I beleive in one jesus that cried "me! me! why has thou forsaken me"

that is the interpretation I can give that passage that I read from the Bible, if I were to beleive that there is a biblical god

Do you know it was because of you he experienced that which he was crying out about ?

and why, if i may ask, do you not believe in the biblical God (considering that you believe in Jesus)?

ricadelide:

@idinreteDo you know it was because of you he experienced that which he was crying out about ?

and why, if i may ask, do you not believe in the biblical God (considering that you believe in Jesus)?

[me ke olorun m'aje] did he not say he was sent to the lost tribe of Israel, so wetin concern me with the Hebrew people. so what is my own ;  so god can cry that is a good one 
D

i dont beleive in the biblical god because he is a johnny come lately and he wrought too many atrocities. the OT is full of so much violence,bigotry;murder,sexual immoralities[ king david come to my mind] and all other vile escapades that he commanded or supported.

to avoid confusion ergo, I choose perdition are you happy now?

tundewoods:

IDINRETE definately is confused even though he seems to show some humor in is thread but we can't be decieved he certainly is confused.

As ricadelide rightly said,he said that for your sake,if left for you to decide between life and perdition

me confused in what sense?
does my humor deceive you?
can you show or prove the certainty of me being confused?

nope he did not say that for my sake. the guy had a premonition that he was going to be crucified right, so he did not anticipate the amount of suffering he will endure that is why he cried out, 

as you have threatened, my choice is perdition
