LOL, i'M SURE SHE ALREADY DID AND FOUND IT IN CHRISTIANITY.
From what she gets from you she only sees dodging of the question. Answer the questions man.
You spoke presumptiously. There is no Christian in my life, except M.US.l.i.ms. In my future, I meant there is at least an opening for a christian, who in time will become a m.us.li.m. I spoke in african expression and David got it.
It is different because that is what the Qu'ran tells you, prove the Qu'ran.
Why was the covenant made with the Arabs but carried out by Jewish Prophets?
It is different because from whatever remains of the truth that was given to Jesus, we see in the Bible that Jesus prayed to a Lord God Who is different and Superior to him. The One Who accepts or rejects prayers. The One Who's Will must be done, instead of the will of Jesus. I have only used the prayer at the garden of Geshimene to argue my point here. I will argue further if it is not clear to you. Thats after you have studied that portion of the Bible!
Show us where they disagreed
You will not tell me that none of the desciples had issues with Paul, would you? I will get one to whet your appetite, later.
So how did the Qu'ran be 100% word of God? Because Muhaamad said so? Did God write it down? Who's to say that Muhaaamad didnt add his own bits and pieces, infact who's to say that he didn't just come up with it himself.
It is 100% word of God because no man had any of his own words in it. You will know that if a person were to produce a master piece, he will not give the credit to some other entity. So with that in mind, how can this man who was unlettered produce a masterpiece likw the Q/u.r'an and he gave the full credit to God, an Unseen entity? The only reason he could have done such a thing is because he was not the writer all along. The Witer is God and he deserves His glory. And what bits and pieces are you talking about. tell me something that you can point out that is a lie from it? Read the whole Bible, there is no mention of Pharaoh of Moses body. But the Q.u/r'an confirms that his body was preserved, and why it was preserved!
Now let me explain to you how it works in the Bible.
Inspired men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the books that make up the Bible. It is God's word because having beeen written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the books have God as the author.
Theories that are riddled with assuptions. If God were to tell anyone about His nature, the prophets before Jesus had that right. The message would not deviate from after Jesus message. There would never have been any inconsistencies.
Maybe that was too hard for Muhaaamad to comprehend. That God could actually use men as instruments to do his work.
Was Mu, hamm.ad not a man? Was he not after all of them? Was he not therefore in the position to correct the previous mistakes of those "inspired writer?'
;Why? Because human logic cannot explain it?
I thought God was capable of anything. If you say no, you're limiting his abilities.
God said that He will not burden human more than the capability of the human. The way God manifest Himself is not contrary to human capability to understand and human logic to appreciate. God is capable ofdoing all thing. But there are somethings he will not do. he will not be Unjust, hence the original sin, will not wah. If it did, all the children who died without committing any sins of their own will go to hellfire/lake of fire, according to that concept.
And as per the majesty of God, He will not humiliate Himself at the hands of creations to save creations. And as per what is written in the Bible, there is no guarantee that those who accepted the process of trinity will not have a single one of them going to Hellfire/lake of fire. And my proof is in the Bible itself, Jesus said that not all who called him god will be saved. And those who will not be saved will even say that they performed great healing by his name, but even their statement will not make him protect them from hell fire/lake of fire. Finally, in the Bible, it is stated that God is not the author of confusion. Now tell me, which is correct between God is One and then He is three? Which is just and merciful in judging a person by the truth in belief and worship and work versus condemning a child who died because of the sin that is Original, committed by the first couple?
Yes it's in the Bible, go and read it.
I will have to sift through the admixtures of paul, peter, etc and after all of that Jesus word, in paraphrasing will be just a handful. Is that what you want?
then you don't believe in My God. My God is Almighty, and capable of everything including walking the earth that he created, whispering to us through the wind, reaching out to us through everyday people, sacrificing himself so that we may be free (as a real parent would, but then again you don't believe you are a child of God).
Sir you limit your god because your god cannot have children, if so then he had intercourse with a woman. Your god cannot form himself as a man, so what can your god do.
My God A.lla.h the Almighty can do everything. Yet He says in His book that somethings do not befit His Majesty. You know, like death, etc. he is the Creator, hence has the power to forgive without anyone challenging His decision. He does not have the human insticts which he created for us. So there is no need for a child for any purpose. Did He not ransome the son of Ibrahim from the intent of Ibrahim to slaughter that son in order to demostrate the obedience in the commandment that he knew he had to fulfil? Yet there was no shephard who lost am animal. That is the Power of the Almighty. I will the rest alone until future discussion.
Those who worshipped idols believed that their god were merciful, beneficient, powerful, but they knew that it couldn't be a man, it couldn't have children because it couldn't copulate with a woman and so on. See the parallel do we?
But no m.US.lim worships Idol. Idol is the very thing I/s.lam destroys, be it that of the physical or imagined in the earth. If anyone qualifies for idolators, it would not be from I.s.lam. When Makka fell to the power of i/s.lam, the only thing destroyed were the 360 idols. There was none of them left standing.
I will leave the matter of idolatry alone when it comes to christianity, since my intention is not to offend anybody.
Why would you need the gospel of barnabas when you have the Qu'ran? I thought the Qu'ran had everything, so why can't you learn everything from the qu'ran? This is one of your contradictions. You tell me that the qu'ran had all the answers so but now your'e saying if you can't get it from the qu'ran. My dear it would be no if, if it was 100% true.
I never needed Barnabas, etc for anything. And my belief ing that Jesus is a worthy prophet and his apostles were his helpers in spreading his prophetic mission, all are from Qu.r.'an and Sunnah. I am satisfied.
God does not lie, and he makes no mistakes. So when in writing his book why was there a mistake and Muhaaamad put down that A''llah has three daughters and they are to be worshipped and then took it out and said it was of the devil. How can the devil even be allowed in the presence of God, how can the devil even gain influence to the word of God? I mean seriosuly?
Thats new to me. And i read the Q'ur, 'an daily. You should dirrect where God said He had three children or any child regardless of the gender. I am giving you a major leeway here. I will not even talk about the temptations of Christ in the Bible. Or the not knowing about the season of the fig.
If God cannot have a son, how come he had daughters? Did he have daughters?
I am sure you are very familiar with rhetoric questioning. Please provide the verses where God says in the Q.u.r'an that He had ay child, daughter or daughters or son or whatever. Anywhere.
How come he was a messiah to the Jewish people, but the covenant was made with the Arabs?
It is clear that Ibrahim, who was from Ur city in Iraq, could never have been Jewish. Its impossible for the Nigerians who are in Russia, regardless of their citizenship there to be refered to as Ethnic Russians. It is therefore impossible that Ibrahim would be known by an ethnic name that is culled from Juhah, the brother of Joseph.
But what is interesting is that the covenant that was between god and ibrahim covered all his children. A sign of this is circumcision of the males. All arabs are circumcised. Not only Jews have this. I am circumcised and i am not even a jew, neither by blood nor by religion! But in time, after Jesus God in His Infinite Mercy raised Muha.mm.ad from the Arabs, a direct lineage of Ismail, the first and if for a short time, an only son of Ibrahim. nor where is the confusion? At least Ibrahim, the friend of God knew his children in essence more than you or me.
ok so why are you praising God for his writing?
Even in bad situation you can see a silver lining. What I praise God for in His writing is what I praise God for in His Majesty. Afterall, God is One Lord. It is the truth that i see in the heap that stands to be examined. God is not man or woman and He is not weak and no one can overtake Him. No eyes had ever seen Him.
No one is the all knower of things, however if I ask you how old Mary was when she gave birth to Jesus, you would tell me 13-16, yet the Qu'ran said she's the sister of Aaron, how is that possoble? was she 13-16 for centuries?
Are mankind not all brothers and sisters? Are we not all children of Adam and Eve? Are Yorubas and Binis not even children of the same father, Oduduwa? Even some Onisha people have told me that their story is from the story of the yorubas. How interesting is that? What are the odds? You have Oba in Benin. Your iyashere, ojumu are all present in owo, ondo state. Ondo state is part of Yoruba you know!
Yeah it may be true that it would be hard not to take the accolade unless the main purpose is to mislead people, which can be done and possibly has been done. But you are mistaken about the Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. They were the writers but didn't give the title to the books. The title was given to the books by the Bishops. This was to give direction to which book was written by whom. This was done with guidance from the Holy Spirit.
I wonder if you want to deceive a person, why not deceive that person all the way. Why just stop at the middle, especially to give praise to thae person and his mother. I see that Jesus' mother was really spoken about in the bible. But the Q.u.r'an called her the best from womanhood. I wonder if i will call a Russian the best woman over my Nigerian women. Except i am forced by a powerful force that I can not refuse. Give me the last names of the gospel writers, since it is according to, it suggests that somebody else wrote them.
The Books of the Bible have as their principal author the Holy Spirit, although He Himself did not write them. The Holy Spirit inspired the human authoers of the Bible to write down in their own words, and in the manner and style of the day (so that people may understand them), what he wanted them to write, and He guided them to the extent that they wrote faithfully what they had ben taught. This working together of God and man in the writing of the Bible is called inspiration. This inspiration covers not only matters of faith and morals, but extends as well to the facts of history as related, and to the whole Bible.
There lies the truth about the for sure future change of word from the bible, since it has to be written in the style of the day. Future is a day that will come, but not yet here!
Remember the Bible is not just made up of the New Testament but the Old Testament also.
And i remember it well. I am sure Moses would have told us that his God lord who defamed Pharaoh and his power was more than 1. But he didn't. Hwe only spoke about One Singularly God who holds all Power!
Well what I want to know is why an Arabic prophet? Why didn't he just send another prophet from amongst the Jews as he had always done in the past. When they disobeyed him and the previous prophet passed, he restored another one to do his work and caution the Jews and set things straight. Why didn't he follow his pattern? or is he confused?
The last I checked, M.u. h.ammad was a direct descendant of Ismail who was the first son of Ibrahim. And it was Ibrahim who All.ah the Almighty God had a direct alliance with, whom He called His friend. Not not Issac, nor, Jacob, nor Joseph , nor his brother Judah who is the father of the true tribal Jews, a branch from the total group known as Children of Israel. I don't even hear about the josephites, who was the prophet that his father Jacob and all his brothers, including Judah bow down to, as fulfilment of his dream. The last I checked, God is not beholding to any man or group or tribe or nation of mankind. It is they, all who need and depend on Him. How long should god correct a perso or people before he punishes them? Did He not punish Sodom and gomorrah before Issac was even born? Did he not wipe out mankind to just a handful in the time of Noah? When God Almighty decided to end the His relationship with the jews, he did not need any permission from anyone. Not even any Angel.
Did he say "well I know I made the covenant with the Arabs but I kind of want the fruition of that covenant to come through the Jews, but they're not listening to me, so I'm going to send them a prophet again, and again, and again, but I'm just going to give it a try and send one from the Arabs this time"
Well the Jews aren't obedient to Muhaaamad, so where's the next prophet? Did God abandon the Jews all of a sudden?
There is no trial in the vocabulary of God. he commands. He decides. he knows all things, including the outcome of it and the "hour!" God Almighty has confirmed that there is no Prophet and or Messenger after M.u.ha.mmad. God confirmed in the Qur.'an that He has perfected the deen of I.s.lam as a completion of favors of religious process of worship on mankind, through Mu.ha.mmad. He further states that whoever comes in the day of judgement with any other deen, different from i.s.l.am, it will be rejected and will not be accepted. That person will be a loser.
I can seclude myself from society because I am angry at the way it is going. I can show up and say that I received a revelation from God and this is what he said: I the Lord am one and I alone should be worshipped, all the messengers and prophets are humans and nothing more, so if you were to be instructed to worship any one of them, you shouldn't. There is paradise and hellfire as rewards for obedience and disobedience to God's commandments respectively. What is the difference between me and Muhaamad?
If this is your argument, it is a weak one. The different between you and M.u.ha.mmad are many: First you are woman, and there is no woman prophet from Isla.mi.c perspective. Those who vouched for the great quality of M.u.ha.mmad were everyone in his town. I doubt if you are known by every one in that same vein in your neighborhood. And there is no proven miracles through you. And by the way, it is the very book that he said was revealed to him in a period of 23 years is standing on change for over 1400 years and counting. In that book, it is stated that God will protect the book till the end of time, while the "inspired Bible" never stopped making a shift eevr so slightly, till the end of time. My darling, I have too many things to say, but its best to just wait till for future opportunity to say some of it.
What is the difference between Muhaaamad and Joseph Smith? Didn't both of them receive revelations from an angel of God? Weren't both of them annoyed with their societies? Do you see the parallel there?
Until you can prove the authenticity of the Qu'ran, don't quote it for me, or use it to prove a point.
lol. And you promise me to open a thread for this purpose. Am waiting. And by the way, how do you figure that you can even use the bible written by the inspired men in their own words to proof anything to me? I will not allow you the luxury. (Am grinning).
Here is the same thing from a Christian perspective. God is ever merciful that he sacrificed himself for our salvation. WHomever does not believe in him will not receive mercy. Whomever sins against him shall be forgiven as long as the person seeks forgiveness. But there are those who will hear and not believe, the Spirit is not with them. They have hardened their heart away from God.
Why are you born of man and woman and not just created from clay as Adam was and your wife created from a part of you? If you have nothing to inherit from Adam? If you do not inherit original sin? Why didn't God just start afresh, afterall it's a new man being created?
I guess that Adolf Hitler believed and am sure before he died, he should have asked for forgiveness. He was under the spirit, like every believing Christian. And what I inherited from Adam was the process of seeking forgiveness, the knowledge that the devil is an open enemy to me, and many others. But I do not inherit from him an original sin which will not be forgiven. And if God does not forgive, then the person is doomed!
I read it without the attachment to the Bible. Remember I questioned you about the "We" I could have easily said: there the trinity is mentioned in the Qu'ran, but I didn't.
I approach the Qu'ran with history.
If you know anyone who can tell you how Oba of Benin addresses himself , you will hear that it is what we call "Majestic pronoun; the we and us!" Even if parent talk to a child, the parent may use plural for him or herself. My dear I will touch up on that later. But it is not that a person is more than 1 when a King uses plural for himself. Listen to the Queen of England.
I addressed this issue above.
I think that was my point. That they didn't believe. I called an orange an orange.
Is there another earth that Musl.li.m's Qur'a, n needs to talk about, except the same earth that we all share, all mankind, regardless of religion? Is there any othe Phatraoh of Moses, or Moses and the children of Israel? This is why you see that Qur'a.n is better suited to correct all that is wrong with fallacous Books. And in the long run the truth as it has always been with the prophets before the pens of the men began to corrupt them, is now preserved, finally in a Book standing uniquely alone.
1. It is not blind faith. It is proven faith, in my life too. Don't forget I have experienced it for myself. I am not just blindly following what someone said.
2. Who said the creator of the earth is not the creator of heaven? Oh yeah you are speaking as if you understand what earth means here. I believe I already explained this to you, when I told you that Christians are not of this world. Now you know what earth is.
I will only respond to the christians are not from this earth statement. But for now you are here, on the earth alive. Is anything that you do on this earth relevant to your destination in heaven for either paradise or Fire of hell? Will there be anything that you do in heaven that will qualify you all of a sudden for either Paradise or Hell fire? Are christians created differently from non Christians? What are we talking about here?
