J3susFr3ak:


You are guilty of forwarding a FALSE EQUIVALENCE in your argument and logic! Dividing the Governors between North and South as if the whole Christian Middle Belt does not exist!

Look at the current administration and those who hold the most sensitive and powerful posts? Where are they from? Oh yes...from the Sharia core North also known as the true Arewa. THAT is the North you should be talking about. Leave the Christian Middle Belt out of that whole Northern nonsense!

The same way you do not expect Sokoto, Katsina or Kebbi to vote a Christian ticket--you should not expect the same from Benue, Taraba or Plateau to suddenly vote for Muslim ticket. The Middle Belt Christians have their own ethnicity, own language and own religion that is totlally different from whatever the people in Arewa have.

If you need more Governors...you can start subdividing your Sharia states to more as long as you can also fund them with your own resources.

So you're not going to take the way Makinde treats his Muslim deputy, but you're agitating and trying to force Muslim Muslim presidency on us in Nigeria .

This just a rifts between the governor and his deputy, you have started threatening fire and brimstone bcs of his deputy Muslim.

I have seen it all, about what Islam actually is, and represents from the Muslims wether pass or present, all I can say is that, Islam is intolerant, selfish and barbaric. And shouldn't have been part of modern civilization!!!

Lets look at middle belt,

There are up to four LGAs in plateau state majorly Muslims , were they represented in the government? From governor, deputy, chief of staff, SSG, and so on.

What of Benue state, have you ever seen Muslims represented? No. Now the population of Muslims in Benue, plateau are more than that of the christains in Kwara, Kogi,Niger, but in this states, christains are always given the deputy governors.

During OBJ regime, all the ministers of the middle belt are all christains except El-Rufai. Infact except you are recommended from CAN, OBJ will not recognized you. CAN was proxy government during OBJ and GEJ regime where a Christian president will give private jet as birthday gift to a sitting CAN president. All this fact are there.

Anywhere or State christains are dominant with good number of Muslims, they take all.

Christains in the north are integral part of the society, they have their identity and well based, represented in the government, can you talk of that in other places where Muslims are serious minority? No.

The Boko Haram, bandits menaces, Fulani-farmers clashes in the north has devastated everywhere but my christain brothers are expecting bullets, bombs, attack & reprisal to discriminate with respect to religion before hitting target, is this not hypocrisy?

Therefore let stop ethno-religio-tribal egocentricity and bigotry. Everyone has his/her own way of viewing this country according to his/her choosen prism.

BnQoyyim:


And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..." (Matthew 26:39)

"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..." (Joshua 5:14)

"And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces…" (Numbers 20:6)

"And Abraham fell on his face..." (Genesis 17:3)

"…and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God." (Revelation 7:11)

"…then they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground." (Nehemiah 8:6)

"…Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces." (1 Chronicles 21:16)

In many others places in the Bible where we find the method of prayer mentioned, it calls to mind the way Muslims pray. In the Bible book entitled Daniel we are able to read a description of Daniel praying to God in a time of great crisis.

"Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber

BnQoyyim:


Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did a foretime." (Daniel 6:10)

It is interesting to note that Prophet Daniel prayed towards Jerusalem. In the early days of Prophet Mohammad’s mission the faithful also prayed towards Jerusalem. However the Muslim direction of prayer changed. About sixteen months after Prophet Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to the city of Medina the direction was changed to facing the sacred House of God in Mecca.

Descriptions of the positions Muslims adopt in the five ritual prayers per day can be found throughout the Bible. Many are mentioned in the book of Psalms.

"Stand in awe, and sin not."(Psalms 4:4)

"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker." (Psalms 95:6)

"…all that go down to the dust shall bow before him…" (Psalms 22:29)

And in the book of Kings we find Prophet Elijah casting himself upon the earth in the position of kneeling before touching the forehead to the ground.

"…and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees." (1 Kings 18:42)

This is a position very familiar to Muslims. So too is the position Jesus adopts during prayer in a moment of fear and uncertainty.

"And he (Jesus) was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed." (Luke 22:41)

Even though the Jews and Christians today do not pray as we read in the Bible, Muslims continue to pray in a similar way to the prophets, as intended by the Creator of the heavens and the earth.

Samunique:
Look at the rubbish you write here !

So praying while placing face on the ground is what makes one a Muslim?

You must be a joker !

If that's all that it takes to be a Muslim then Islam is a joke.

Even the pagan who worship ogun, shango etc do the same thing whenever their they pouring drinks and colanut.

Meanwhile, do Muslims pray without ablution ?

Pls go back to my post and answer my remaining questions.

J3susFr3ak:


The Muslims borrowed their bowing from the Jews...but even within Judaism the types of prostrations that existed or were permitted by the Rabbis and their Talmud was/is radically different from whatever the Muslims are doing today. Older Christian traditions like the Eastern Orthodox Church would prostrate by lying flat and face down on the ground during certain significant days and ceremonies....the way some Jews might still prostrate the same way in certain traditions by also lying face down with face down on the day of Atonement and other solemn festivals.

But the real reason Jesus Christ came to overturn these types of empty traditions was also because of the fact that many sanctimonious people like the Pharisees keyed into these types of outward gestures of prayer as a means to derive public respect while being rotten people secretly. The Christian God is not impressed by your acts of "bowing down" gymnastics while your heart is still heavily chained and influenced by SIN.

And the Lord said:
“Because this people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
Isaiah 29:13

And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain.
Ezekiel 33:31

You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
in vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Matthew 15:7–9

And this is why Jesus emphasized to the Samaritan woman by the well that time of ritualistic worship traditions and gestures was OVER!: "You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” --John 4: 22-24

And this is why Christians are encouraged use the freedom Jesus Christ has given them by His Death and Resurrection of the Cross to LIFT UP HOLY HANDS TO GOD TO THE HEAVENS! --" In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy." -- 1 Timothy 2:8

And why is that? It is because the bowing down and prostration practiced by some of the Jewish patriarchs in the Old Testament reflected their whole approach to God as the fearful LAWGIVER and JUDGE not as free children but as trembling bond servant still under the harsh tutelage of the law or Jewish Torah. This was reflected by the very fearful and terrifying presence of God in His fire and glory on Mount Sinai.....the Jews even when encouraged to join Moses up on the Mount Sinai to commune with God...were all afraid. The core of the relationship then was rooted in FEAR. So they bowed....but this act of bowing did not remove the rebellion in their hearts to still sin and demand that Aaron carve out a new god out of gold and silver...when Moses took too long on the Mountain.

This is why our Scripture says: "You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”

But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. -- Hebrews 4: 18 -24

Because of the freedom true Christians have found in the very Person and work of Jesus Christ...we are no longer trembling in fear before the old Mount Sinai like the old Jews. No. We have a new Mountain which is no longer the mountain of fear. But the Mountain of Joy....Mount Zion...where we lift up Holy hands to God with a clean conscience like children to a Father.

Yes...you would see some Christians occasionally under the heavy BURDEN of the Holy Spirit sometimes lie face down on the ground as they pray. But this is not a forced rule to all and is only based on how the Holy Spirit moved the particular person under the heavy burden. (the reason why Jesus fell to the ground and prayed heavily in the Garden of Gethsemane was not because he was following some ancient bowing ritual....it was simply because of the very WEIGHT and BURDEN of the task (or as he says "cup" ahead for Him as He now faced torture and eventual death on the cross. The prayer was to destroy every internal impulse or desire to shrink away from carrying that Holy duty to die for mankind's sins. Christians today who might be overwhelmed with a holy burden to pray would also sometimes fall with their faces to the ground....but not because they are doing a particular ritual or forced to by some tradition. Christ came to abolish dead rituals....and urge us to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit even in worship. So yes....those under a burden who may sometimes go on a whole prostration to the ground is not because of some forced mechanical motion or position just simply to obey rules or regulations without any bearing on the core intent or content of the heart. What occupies the heart does matter. If the heart is not bowed FIRST to God by the Holy Spirit....any other physical bowing is just a waste of time.

Jesus has the final Word for us on how to worship God. "Why call ye me Lord Lord and do not the things which I tell you?" Luke 6:46

The only surprise is that MURIC is now making the call.

If CAN can speak against Muslim-muslim tickets, so also Muric against chrtistian-christian tickets.

By the way, both organizations are not right. They should be telling us to judge candidates by their ability. But this is Nigeria. People do not look to candidates for development, they look to candidates to get a job, a lucrative job in government, or to get some gofment chopping.
