Muslims and al taquiya, I just checked the two verses you quoted and both of them refer to Jether(not Jethro) as an ishmaelite. Must you twist the bible to promote your lies I am sure the best of deceivers(allah) will be proud of you.

Analice107.please answer dis question

lolzzzz, Why me biko?

Let me borrow some people join myself.

Cc: MrPresident, 4everGod. abeg come and help me here.


Okay, let me start by by citing other instances.

Remember God is the Alpha and the Omega. He knows the end from the beginning.

He knows who we will all be and how we will react to our environments.

He had seen Ismael's end before he was born. (Terrorist).

Now lets see other characters God saw into their future and kept them back from his covenant.


Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob. why didn't God take Esau?

Esau was easily given to wantonness. He was carefree and didn't place value on sacred things.

With the wave of the hand he threw away his birthright. To us humans, we may take that lightly, but a man who can give up his very life for instant gratification shd not be trusted with something that Precious.

Check Esau's Family, and check Jacobs family.

Jacob was together. Esau was scattered.

One of his offspring (Amalek also from a concubine, named Timna) became to Israel(Jacobs descendants) exactly what the descendants of Ismail are to the descendants of Isaac today.

To taunt his parents for blessing Jacob, Esau went wild marrying from the tribes they were forbidden to marry from. He lived without minding who his father was and how he was raised.

God had seen that Jacob can instruct his children to follow the God of his father Abraham.

Jacob had 12 Sons. why didn't God Choose the first 4?

1. Reuben the first had woman issues. He had sex with his father's concubine, and inherited a curse. Would he have been able to resist Mrs Portipher? hmmm.


Simeon had Temperament Issues. Him and his brother Levi, attacked and killed a Scheme Prince, killed the king and all the strong men therein, because Scheme had raped Dina their sister then came to marry her. Would they have been able to forgive their brethren if they were the ones sold into slavery by their blood?

Would they have allowed Jacob and the entire family to migrate and join him as a Prime minister?

Now that they had power, wouldn't they have called for their evil brothers to be executed for their crimes?

With that kind of temper, hmmm.

with that kind of attitude, would they have been able to submit and learn administration in Potioher's house?

would they have maintained a right attitude haven been lied against and unjustly thrown into prison?

Judah, had already been predestined to carry the Kingly sceptre, so, was exempted.

Then down to the second to the last, "Joseph".

Check all the vises his brothers had in him, you'd find none. God saw him from afar and choose him to go to Egypt to preserve his people.

Mrs Potipher was readily, presently yearning for what Reuben snuck to steal. but Joseph resisted her. Even when, to today's youth, that would have seemed like an opportunity to hit it big.

If Joseph was a contemporary Nigerian boy, He would ve dived into that offer, seeing a way of manipulating his way out of slavery. But he said No.

It landed him in prison, yet his attitude was still pleasant. when gloomy, he asked why.

God knows who will succumb to pressure and those who will say, "If i perish, I perish".


God knows who will stand and carry his name to the end.

Ismail started manifesting his terroristic tendencies at a very tender age. Though raised in Abraham's home, godliness didn't rub on him.

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Genesis:18: 17, 19

Have you asked yourself why Ismail turned away from following the God of his father Abraham?

Someone will tell me that, him and his mother were sent away back to Egypt. But that is hardly the case, because when he grew up, he came back to his father. We are told that when Abraham died Isaac and Ismail buried him.


And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
Genesis:25:9

He couldn't have buried his father while on exile.

Esau later married his daughter, this also shows that Ismail lived together with them.


Bottomline. God saw the terrorist in him and refused to let him carry his legacy and covenant.

See the brainwashed one saying someone is brainwashed.
Who is the original owner of the land?
Can you applied their method on another person's land today, you had been named terrorist and that is what israel is ''TERRORIST''

Can somebody come and take your own father's land now and continue being a friend with the person. If you know how many children Israel has killed and still killing, your mouth will be wide open

How much of History do you know?

In 70AD when the Nation of Israel where exiled by the Roman empire, was there any village, community, state or nation anywhere in the world called Palestine?

Do you realize that the land you fight to steal today is where Jesus was originally from? Bethelehem is the birth place of Christ, The City of David, today Islam claims it as Its own, How?

Must you steal everything from the Jews?

Is Jesus of Nazareth an Arab Palestinian?

Do you know that Syria, Lebanon, Egypt were not Arabic Nations?

At what point in history did they become Arabs for the Arab League to fight by all means to claim the land of Israel?

Islam told Abraham and made him a Muslim, but Sarah and her Children weren't.

Islam or Muhammed did not remember that Abraham married another wife after Sarah died(Keturah) and had six other Children. Those were not Muslims oo. Only Ismail.

Islam seeks to steal every prominent thing or characters from the Jews.

They will keep increasing, and you'll keep decreasing.

YOU ARE CURSED.

2Sa 17:25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.

1Ch 2:17 And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.

This "my religion is better than yours" attitude should stop.

You don't even know how to lie. which both religions are from the same source?

Islam has its source traced to Iranian Hubal the moon god, hence the crescent moon and star as Islamic symblo. I guess you don't even know that, as you know nothing about your religion.
The same insignia for Ancient Hubal, is the crescent moon and a single star which Islam flies everywhere today.

So have you removed and threw away the verse in your bible that states
and as for Ishmael, I have heard thee, behold, I have BLESSED him, and will make him a great nation. KJV genesis17 v 20
I will allow you to complete the verse yourself.
Your hatred for Muslims and the ishmaelites will not land you anything except the wrath of the God.
I am sure if you have your way, you would have removed the above verse from the bible. You are the typical example of those the Quran says they chose to believe in parts of the scriptures that strengthen their positions and reject those that is against there whims and desire, they even provide interpretatations that suit their whims.
You started with a question as though you really wanted to learn, but after the way you reacted to various replies you were given, it showed what your true intentions were

Typical muslim, speaking from both sides of the mouth. Didnt you just tell KingEbukasblog that material wealth doesnt determine Gods blessings?


Besides, the blessing God gave to Ismail was earthly and temporal.

But when God promised to bless Abraham's seed it wasn't material, but Covenantal.


God choose Isaac to carry his covenant, because he saw the gentlemanliness in him, unlike the rogue Ismail.

Hear is what Apostle Paul says. And this is the reason Muslims hate him so much.

He told us exactly who you are, Slaves.


For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Galatians:4:22


But he who was of the slavewoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Galatians:4:23

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Galatians:4:24


For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Galatians:4:25

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Galatians:4:28

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Galatians:4:29

Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the slavewoman and her son: for the son of the slavewoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Galatians:4:30

So then, brethren, we are not children of the slavewoman, but of the free.
Galatians:4:31

lexiconkabir:
the OT was mutilated by the jews without recognition, so it wont favour Ishmael and his decendants, for example 2samuel17:25 says jethro(also know as ithra) was an isrealite while 1chronicles2:17 says he is an ishmaelite. why the confusion? according to the Qur'an jethro(known as shuaib in arabic) was a decendant of ishmael making him an ishmaelite, who knows, maybe the verse that says ishmael was cursed is another rotten lie by the jews in the OT.



If it was distorted acording to wat u said, y discedants of ismhael hate people nd people hate them why always into destructions,maiming nd killings as prophesised? Even Ogun, Obatala ,Sango worshipers pple dnt hate them like desendants of ishael. If islam is nt descendants of ishamel who u tink is? Christian, judism, budism, traditional etc

In Mathew Jesus tells us that
"Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven” Mathew 18vs3
This gives the idea that children are innocent. The op tries to make us understand that Ishmael was cursed even before he was given birth to. Hear him

Did God cursed Ishmael Seeing what is happening today. You will conclude that The so-called Arab people are cursed through Ishmael shocked they kill others and also kill themselves. People hate them because they hate others. They like violence. Thier children live and grow up in a violent environment. They see nothing wrong in it. What exactly is this statement from God . Curse or blessing? undecided



Now lets see other characters God saw into their future and kept them back from his covenant.
Keeping people from covenants is different from cursing. If you are cursed by God, that's how you will behave. You can't help it.
Are you implying God is cursing a little baby in his mother's womb for sins he will commit in the future.


Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob. why didn't God take Esau?

Esau was easily given to wantonness. He was carefree and didn't place value on sacred things.

Would they have allowed Jacob and the entire family to migrate and join him as a Prime minister?

Now that they had power, wouldn't they have called for their evil brothers to be executed for their crimes?

With that kind of temper, hmmm.

with that kind of attitude, would they have been able to submit and learn administration in Potioher's house?

would they have maintained a right attitude haven been lied against and unjustly thrown into prison?

Judah, had already been predestined to carry the Kingly sceptre, so, was exempted.

Then down to the second to the last, "Joseph".

Check all the vises his brothers had in him, you'd find none. God saw him from afar and choose him to go to Egypt to preserve his people.

Mrs Potipher was readily, presently yearning for what Reuben snuck to steal. but Joseph resisted her. Even when, to today's youth, that would have seemed like an opportunity to hit it big.

With all due respect this is a different case. I am sure if God denied them anything, it's because of their actions or their ways. But here Ishmael is cursed as a child. I hope you get the difference?


Ismail started manifesting his terroristic tendencies at a very tender age. Though raised in Abraham's home, godliness didn't rub on him.
Except he was cursed even before he was born as pointed out by the op here

11 “You will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has hear of your misery.”

You confidently said "Ishmael started manifesting his terroristic tendencies at a very tender age"
With regards to your comment above, I would like to demand the following :
1. What are these terroristic tendencies he manifested at a tender age?
2. Support your answers with biblical verses.

Even if you are right he did commit these crimes as a kid, are you saying that if such a kid dies in such act, he will be punished by God?

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Genesis:18: 17, 19

Someone will tell me that, him and his mother were sent away back to Egypt. But that is hardly the case, because when he grew up, he came back to his father. We are told that when Abraham died Isaac and Ismail buried him.

Genesis:25:9

Esau later married his daughter, this also shows that Ismail lived together with them.
I am sorry this doesn't still justify why an infant was cursed.

Bottomline. God saw the terrorist in him and refused to let him carry his legacy and covenant.

Except that wasn't all, he was cursed too even before conceived.
It is understandable that God refused him to carry his legacy because he saw what he would become. But does that also justify the curse If kids are not accountable until they reach an age they can make decisions for themselves?
IF so, how do you justify unconditional love of God if He curses kids before they are born?

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

I am sorry this doesn't still justify why an infant was cursed.

Except that wasn't all, he was cursed too even before conceived.
It is understandable that God refused him to carry his legacy because he saw what he would become. But does that also justify the curse If kids are not accountable until they reach an age they can make decisions for themselves?
IF so, how do you justify unconditional love of God if He curses kids before they are born?
analice107 I hope you address these concerns

It's good we have established the fact that God is All knowing. He knows and sees our tomorrow today. this said.

God saw Islam and their activities in the loins of Ismail even before he was born. God didn't even need to lay a curse on him, by reason of his activities, he had attracted a curse to himself, and his descendants by extension.

The Lord says "A Curse causeless shall not stand". Proverbs 26:2 Curses cannot hurt you unless you deserve them. They are like birds that fly by and never light.

Meaning, without a reason, a curse laid on anyone won't be effective. Something must have been done to activate a curse.

The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesses the habitation of the just.
Proverbs:3:33

... the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ezekiel:18:20

like i said earlier, God didn't need to curse Ismail, his wickedness had brought a curse on him already.


And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
Genesis:21: 8-9

His character depicted the nature of Muslims today.

It doesn't bother you that Muslims can gear their 4yrs old kids to go explode and kill himself together with non-Muslims? That is a people cursed by themselves.

Ismail attracted the curse which came on him by his activities.

And, lets get one thing here clear, the prophecy did not come pass in Ismael's life, it began fulfillment as Muhammed stepped on the World's stage till today.

Muhammed was a wicked man. A very wicked man. And, anyone who emulates him turns out very wicked. And the wickedness of wicked, shall come upon the wicked nah.

So you disagree with the op Who believes Ishmael was cursed using the verses in the op
You didn't address this

You confidently said "Ishmael started manifesting his terroristic tendencies at a very tender age"
With regards to your comment above, I would like to demand the following :
1. What are these terroristic tendencies he manifested at a tender age?
2. Support your answers with biblical verses.

Even if you are right he did commit these crimes as a kid, are you saying that if such a kid dies in such act, he will be punished by God?

I didn't ask for the reason why God was on Sarah side. This isn't about sides. I simply asked you Why Was Ismael cursed? Let me rephrase it
What was Ishmael 'S crime that lead to him be cursed?

Use your brain to fish out something.

But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.” (Genesis 21:8-13, NIV)

Cant you see the Ishmaelites are very large. Large yes, but troublesome people. Not peaceful at all.
