@olabowale,
@Pilgrim.1: Am sure you are a very interesting woman. You make me laugh when I read your piece. At least is comic relief and therapeutic to me. Oseun Omo girl.
I hope the laughter won't be taken again as a "sign of lack of faith"? Remember you told me that excessive laughter is a lack of faith - until I showed you the silly things that made Muhammad laughed and exposed his molars?

Mathew 5:44-55 (A fellow whose last/surname we don't know? Was he really the writer?
How many characters inthe Qur'an has both the first, middle and last names? Why are you resorting to these cheap excuses in your penchant to ridicule the Bible? So, let me ask: just because the Gospel of Matthew did not categorically state the "last/surname" of Matthew, that is enough to "prove" that the Bible cannot be trusted?
I'm sorry for you. . . because you would then need to go ask Muhammad the surnames of those characters in the Qur'an whose narratives he stole and redressed from the Bible!
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, (Has any Nairaland Christian ever followed this injunction? do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully (Pilgrim, you never this before. Then you are a bad Christian.
If there's one thing that you have mastered, it is the art of whinging as a child!

So, you suppose that your 'convenience game' of appealing to such verses would make me do what - crawl away from the PC and go weep as Muslims do?
Sorry, but you only need to remember that
skyone once said that he would pray for you - and what was your reply? You don forget?

No be you be the same person wey start to play kalo-kalo with your destiny on 3 chances of pack of cards?
I do pray for you and many others - for various needs. It is not until I come to Nairaland and announce that I am doing so before my prayers can be heard by God. What is more, I remember when a gentleman (orobo50cl) tried to 'curse' me all he could. . . one of which is that I may never prosper in life (for no other crime than my debating Catholics on Biblical Christianity!). Well. . . shortly after that episode, I sat my exams and came through with brilliant results. Beyond that, while parying for others, God blessed me with another very rewarding job - making two jobs that I presently handle!
Rest your heart, olabowale. . . because that verse that you tried to quote is very present in my life. On the flip side, how have
YOU tried to respect others? Abi them make that verse to help you slander others and then make enemies with them? Are those the ingredients that make you a "good" Muslim?
use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father (Tell me who followed this instruction, America, Britain, groups or individuals?
Sorry O. . . sob child!

What has discussing with you on Nairaland got to do with those countries? Where is it recorded that any Muslim nation has followed the golden rule of not persecuting non-Muslims for simply not following Muhammad's fallacies?
Before you seek to correct others, go wash your eyes with zam-zam water!
which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on (Princess Pilgrim, you dey me laugh. I got things to do. I need to have my game face.
You are once again showing the "sign of a lack of faith".

Keep laughingthat's what you often reduce yourself to whenever truth confronts you!
the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Whats new?
Shame! All this is supposed to be what - rejoinder to my previous points; or you just have a special talent for making noise and apologizing for it?!?
Cheers.
