To be honest you guys are not cristns your Just doing your own thing,check the history of prophet abraham that was asked by God to give his only child as scrfce then wen he ws about doing that God send an angel with a ram,so do u mean u don't belv in that history,you guys need help

Mynd44:
As Christians, it is not right to eat it. Don't even touch it. Just send it to my house and I will dispose of it for you

michaelwestern:
Am not really sure if its okay for christians to eat ileya meat. Some people will call it food offered to idols, but the bible permits us to eat any kind of meat. So is it okay to eat ileya meat?

galadima77:


maybe u should stop eating anything slaughtered by a muslim because the Almighty God's name is pronounced over every 'cow, sheep or chicken' slaughtered by them, and that include suya, kilishi, dambu nama, etc...please

Kentox:


ileya meat is different from any meat slaughter by muslims. It's a sacrifice. As a born again child of God, eating of the meat will pollute your spirit. Even if you have to eat because of hunger, sanctify it well.

Midastorch:


You guys should stop misquoting and misinterpreting
the bible.Omg!!!! The Hebrew boys decided not to pollute themselves morally and refused to follow the corrupt ways of Babylon unlike the present day Ayo oritsejafor and co.nothing is wrong with eating meat in short Ileya is very very biblical.in as much as the old testament is still part of our bible references, it is
biblical.

Anyway, this is a funny thread ... Back to business : u guyz need to answer this two questions .... 1. Will muslims celebrate 'ileya' if assuming Abraham sacrifice his firstborn ?? ( coz that would mean firstborns will b roasted for ileya festival) If NO, y do it bcoz its a ram ! 2. Did Abraham even eat the ram after offering the sacrifice ??

Why do you not eat Christmass food?

Meenh this is serious, lots of haters here and there, I notice most poster that refuse to eat Sallah meat are mostly newly registered members and most likely are new generations of Nigeria. All I can say is that we are doomed in this God forsaking country. The older generation of this country has failed, Christian and Muslim use to live in harmony but seems the old generation has failed to teach the newer ones the good way of life.

What I see that is lacking here is reading habit, funny enough the world is more global than before, where you have mobile library and e-consultant on the go, we can easily consult google, Wikipedia and the like for quick answer but to my surprise we are more ignorant than ever before.

Imagine Christians bluntly saying on this thread that Muslim worship idol, when there are several debate you can see on youtube among the scholars of the two religion, there you will see similarities and differences in the two religion.

Our pastors are not trying at all and the parents are not helping matter, we can not leave this world alone, we need to learn to co-exist with one another.

4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

Misogynist2014:
ållah was one of the several gods worshipped in Arabia, in Muhammad's time, he was the chief god.
1.There is absolutely no question that Allah was worshipped by the pagan Arabs as one of many polytheistic gods.
2.Allah was worshipped in the Kabah at Mecca before Muhammad was born. Muhammad merely proclaimed a god the Meccans were already familiar with. The pagan Arabs never accused Muhammad of preaching a different Allah than the one they already worshipped.
3.Many scholars say "Allah" is derived from a compound Arabic word, AL + ILAH = Allah. "Ilah" in Arabic is "God" and "Al" in Arabic is a definite article like our word "the". So from an English equivalent "Allah" comes from "The + God". Others, like Arthur Jeffery say, "The common theory is that it is formed from ilah, the common word for a god, and the article al-; thus al-ilah, the god," becomes Allah, "God." This theory, however, is untenable. In fact, the name is one of the words borrowed into the language in pre-Islamic times from Aramaic." ( Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958, p 85)
4.Although "Allah" has become known as the proper name for the Muslim god, Allah is not a name, but a descriptor that means literally, "the god". All pagan cultures have these generic terms that refer to their "top god" as "the god". In comparison to the perfect monotheism of Judaism and Christianity, "Allah" was originally no more a proper name for the Muslim God, than the word Hebrew "elohim" (god) or Greek "theos" (god) are proper names of the one true God of the Bible. "Jehovah" is the only revealed proper name for the "Elohim" of the Old Testament ( Ex 3:13; 6:3) and "Jesus" is the only revealed proper name of "Theos" in the New Testament. (Acts 4:12) Islam has no proper name for their god, but merely transformed, by universal use and confusion, the generic Allah into a proper name. So although today, Muslims use "Allah" as a proper name, it was never used this way originally. Allah, therefore is equivalent to "elohim" and "ho theos" but not "Jehovah" or "Jesus". Allah is not the name of the nameless Muslim God. However Muslims will claim that Allah is the name of God that corresponds to Jehovah. Both the Father and the Son are called "ho theos" (The God). Jesus is called "The God" many times in the New Testament: John 20:28; Heb 1:8. An important conclusion from this, is that the mere fact that "Allah" is equivalent to "elohim" and "ho theos" does not mean they are directly corresponded. It certainly doesn’t prove Allah is the same as the God of the Old or New Testament. It does not prove that Muslim’s worship the same God as Christians. If this correspondence proved the Muslim god was the same as the Christian God, then because pagan religions also have generics that correspond to "the god" (Allah), this correspondence would also prove that Allah is the same god as the Buddhist god, for Buddhists also refer to their god as "the god". http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Islamic%20Muslim/allah_is_a_fraud.htm

Good question. As muslims, we only eat the food of three people, muslims, christians and jews. Food from other people a forbidden. Muslims we believe in Jesus alaihi wa salam, we believe in his miraculous birth and in his message, we also believed that God saved him from from the jews by taking him up to himself and we believed in the second comming of jesus. You may not agree that Jesus didnt die, but we belive he didnt. That is why we don‘t take part in the celebration as you are celebrating what is against how faith.
Allah is the Arabic interpretation of God.like Yoruba Christian and babalola saying "Olodumare".I believe we served the same God but our ways of worshipping him and standard is different.

If a christin for example say “I would not celebrate with you because i believe it was isaac that was to be sacrificed and you believe it was ismael. If i aam celebrating with you it is as if i am agreeing with your believe and denying my bible.“ i would not hold it against him and i would understand.

But lying that Allah is not God while he is sing “na go de Allah“. Is what i am against.

I think the problem of intolerance started having an heavy toll on Nigerians when the Muslims started killing for the god and never considered the sensibilities oof other religions...both christianity and traditional religion,for christ sakes,Nigeria is a secular country!

Now to the issue of ileya meat,I don't think I would willingly eat sallah meat anymore because I fear and despise muslims because of their propensity to kill and be very violent about their beliefs.


I used to eat ileya meat a lot in the past but I don't think I would want to eat it any longer because that would be tantamount to hypocrisy,I mean just look at the problems muslims are causing all over the world! Scripturally though,I don't think there is any injunction not to eat sallah meat.Its just that any sane christian would be dead to conscience to eat such sallah meat considering how the islamic adherents are killing mankind all over the World.Peace.

MsNas:
Damn. Nigerian Christians can be despicable and judgy Tho!! what gives y'all the right to say we are worshipping idols? Cos you believe you're going straight to heaven after you die? I seriously SMH for some humans. To all there own. I eat Christmas meat with my Christian friend. If my parents give you slag meat and you dont want it, throw it in the trash.

The MOD who brought this to front page is a fool too. I guess it's anything to bash Islam!
