Christianity Etc › Re: Between ISIS And The Moderate Muslims, Who Is The Genuine Follower Of Islam? by Anas09: 9:49pm On Jul 23, 2016 |
SUPERPACK: when the quran was given to the muslems, religion was political in nature, the religious leaders where also the political leaders, but nowadays religion does nt have the power to rule a state, hence the use of the quran must change to match the modern day standards, . When christians decide to practice christianity as it was when it was ruling the world during the time of emperor constantine and the early popes, no one currently on earth would deserve to be called a true christian. . According to modern day standards, since religion is no more political in nature, The moderate muslems are the true muslems. You have no idea of what you just asseted here. Are you sure you read the Ops? Isis read from the Koran and do what they do. Did the Catholics read from the Bible to do what Christ told them to do? We just decide to lie even when we see clearly. Pls take sometime to check what Christians, I mean Bible believing and following Christians passed through both before and after the Catholic Church. What Islam is doing to Christians has been what Christians have been going through since. It started with Christ and will end with his return. Be sincere a little it won't hurt. This your assertion will get you stoned amongst muslims. You just said Islam is a fraud. |

No Muslims are too daft to understand the difference. THey rather worship a moon god with his three daughter the stars. And who ascribes to a higher deity. Have you heard Allah prays? Can you imagine? Allah prays and quotes his Angels too. A god quotes his own Angels. Wonderful. A three headed God that you can't do without. You try by all means to convince yourself that Allah is Yahweh, even when you know he is not. You try to make Muhammed his prophet. You can't stand on your own without quoting the Words of this three headed God to validate Islam. Am here wondering why no Christian Passed and present, ever quotes the Koran to drive home a point. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Until Jehovah Kills This Certain People, I'll Doubt The Bible Forever by Anas09: 1:25pm On Jul 16, 2016 |
geoworldedu: We have read it all through the Bible how Jehovah wouldn't you let any soul escape after they have challenged him.
Here is a long-list of people who have done but little and we're killed instantly by jehovah in anger for talking against him:
1. Pharaoh and all his horesemen: They were about six hundred thousand. jehovah drowned them in the red sea.
2. Sennacherib and all his soldiers: They fought each other in confusion. Thousand thousands of them died.
3. The Israelites grumbled and serpents killed them, not a few.
4. Korah, Dathan and Abiram were buried alive in an earthquake for challenging him.
5. Miriam became leprous for speaking against Moses the prophet of jehovah.
6. Elijah sent down fire on about 102 soldiers because they came to call him (imagine, Buhari sent for Adegboye and he kills his soldiers. Na firing squad straight for daddy g.o)
7. Elisha smote many soldiers with blindness.
Time will fail me to tell of Uzzah who died by touching the ark, a man who died because he refused to slap a prophet who asked him to slap him; Onan who died for releasing sp*erm on the ground, Ananias and Sapphira in the NT for not paying full tithe, Herod whose body produced worms for persecuting xtians. It's an endless list anyway...
NOW THIS SAME jehovah CANNOT do anything for the likes of OTEMANUDUNO who challenged him directly that IF jehovah IS GOD INDEED, HE SHOULD NOT EXIST 7 a. m the next day(we know jehovah has never joked with such golden opportunity to prove his superiority), This same jehovah can't kill the likes of Hardmirror who is doing all he could to make the hearts of the xtians cold? Even johnydon22, the popular JOB STORY WRITER is not attacked by jehovah? Maybe JOHNNY is more powerful than jehovah after all. See also Urahara, Hahn, 01Mysticdon, Keandre, Lilbrown77, Seelud, Absolutism, SonofLucifer, Ebiagtales, Ranchoddas, Philfearon, etc. pls add ur name if u believe jehovah is a myth.
All these people, they are always marking the register of their lips on jehovah the killer-psycopath god every day, yet day by day their strengths are renewed. Even I benefit 1k card from Otem the starter of the DOCTRINE OF THE BRAIN yesterday and many people do too. The guy even said that the more he cursed jehovah, the more he's just getting lucky in real life.
So with all these things I'm seeing, I CAN FULLY DECLARE MYSELF AN AGNOSTIC. mrzenographer, Muafrika2, Kingebukasblog and all jehovah defender, isn't it time you started doubting this your imaginary figure called god? Come to think of it, in your life you have not seen any of those big miracles mentioned in the Bible happening, you are only hearing all ur life. Now try to do one miracle you can't do, yet ur jesus promised u everything is possible? IF THAT'S HOW SCIENTIST ACCEPT EVERYTHING WITHOUT CHECKING THOROUGHLY, DON'T YOU THINK WE ARE GONNA BE EXTINCT BY NOW?
Now I, Geoworldedu also challenge your god(dog) that if I see tomorrow, then it means your god is a tissue paper for the yansh. Anyone in d house who can also do same to prove to this people that their god is a scam on the blacks? You are to insignificant for God to pay you any attention. |

Christianity Etc › Re: 23 Reasons Why Scholars Know Jesus Is Not A Copy Of Pagan Religions. by Anas09: 5:24pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
winner01: 20. That Jesus was a copy of the Buddha is rejected by scholars.
Some claim that Jesus is a copy of Buddha, they claim in the following comparisons that Buddha was:
1. Born of a virgin. 2. There wise men at Buddha’s birth. 3. Presented with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 4. Born on the 25th of December. 5. Descended from a royal lineage, like did Jesus. 6. Crucified.
First off, Gautama was not born of a virgin, he was born to Suddhodana and his wife, Maya, of 20 years. Another reason for rejecting that Maya was a virgin is because she was the king’s favourite wife. The ‘Acts of the Buddha‘ shows us that Maya and her husband Suddhodana having sexual relations (for example, “the two tasted of love’s delight…”).
Secondly, there seems to be no mention of wise men at all in the Buddhist texts. There also seems to be no record of these specific gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. What is, however, mentioned in a writing that post-dates Christianity we are told the gods (not wisemen) gave Gautama sandalwood, rain, water lilies, and lotus flowers for gifts – these are Buddhist symbols, and have nothing to do with Christianity. This is also not surprising as royal births are often celebrated with festivals and gifts in Buddhist culture.
Again, we are not told the birth date of Jesus, so this cannot be a parallel.
Unlike Jesus, Gautama was an immediate royal descendant born into privilege. Jesus was a distant descendant of King David born into poverty. They are basically opposites.
There seems to be no mention of a crucifixion in any Buddhist source. In fact, we are told that Gautama dies of natural causes at the age of 80. His followers accompany him to a river and provide him with a couch: “Be so good as to spread me a couch… I am weary and wish to lie down…’ Then the [Buddha] fell into a deep meditation, and having passed through the four jhanas, entered Nirvana.
22. That Jesus was a copy parallel of Zoroaster is rejected by scholars.
Some claim that Jesus is a copy of Zoroaster, they claim in the following comparisons that Zoroaster was:
1. Born of a virgin. 2. Tempted in the wilderness. 3. Began his ministry at age 30, like Jesus. 4. Sacrificed for mankind’s sins.
There is no mention of a virgin birth in any Zoroastrian text nor do the events of Zoroaster’s birth seem to have any relation to Jesus. In fact, there are two different accounts of his birth. In one narrative Zoroaster’s parents, Dukdaub and Pourushasp, were a normal married couple who conceived a son through natural means. Zoroaster is described as laughing when he is born as well as having a visible, glowing aura about him:
“[Zoroaster] had come into the posterity…who are Pourushasp, his father, and Dukdaub who is his mother. And also while he is being born and for the duration of life, he produced a radiance, glow, and brilliance from the place of his own abode…” (Denkard, Bk 5 2:1-2)
In the other narrative, which is a later text, an embellishment is added by the Zoroastrian followers. In this narrative we are told that Ahura Mazda (the main deity of Zoroastrianism) implants the soul of Zoroaster into the sacred Haoma plant and through the plant’s milk Zoroaster is born. Nothing here is like a virgin birth.
But was Zoroaster also tempted by an evil spirit to renounce his faith with the promise of receiving power over the nations, like Jesus was? This story is evident in the Vendidad, a Zoroastrian text which lists the laws regarding demons. However, this was written well after the life of Jesus somewhere between 250 – 650 AD. Because of this late date the early Christian scribes could not have copied anything in this text. What we do read sounds strikingly familiar to Jesus’ 40 days in the desert; according to ‘Vendidad Fargad 19:6‘: “Again to him said the Maker of the evil world, Angra Mainyu: ‘Do not destroy my creatures, O holy Zarathushtra… Renounce the good Religion of the worshippers of Mazda, and thou shalt gain such a boon as…the ruler of the nations.'”
Like Jesus, Zoroaster was believed to have begun his teachings at the age of 30. Though Zoroaster technically came out of seclusion at the age of 30 to begin his teachings, he was shunned and ignored for 12 years until his religion was accepted by King Vishtaspa. However, the story surrounding Jesus differs greatly. Jesus attracted followers instantly, and Zoroaster was believed to be killed around the age of 77 while Jesus was killed at the age of 33. Any parallels become questionable on the basis that Zoroaster is not mentioned in texts until to around 225 AD; that is almost 200 years after Christianity had already been in circulation.
Lastly, was Zoroaster’s death spiritually significant? It is believed Zoroaster was killed at the age of 77 after being slaughtered on one of his temple altars by Turanian invaders, however this aspect of his life is debated by scholars. Either way, his death was never believed to atone for sin or to hold any other spiritual purposes.
23. Jesus’ crucifixion in comparison to other alleged deities is unique.
Kersey Graves in his book ‘The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors’, names the following as crucified deities, and therefore, the crucifixion of Jesus is a pagan copy. Well, let’s analyze these “crucifixions” to see if they actually, firstly, are crucifixions. If, in fact, they are crucifixions then we should compare them to Jesus’ crucifixion, and see if they are the same: Mithras – Mithras was carried into heaven on a chariot, alive. This is not a crucifixion. Bali – There are various accounts regarding Bali’s death. One says that he was forced down (bodily) into the underworld after being deceived by Vamana, an avatar of Vishnu. In other accounts, Bali is said to have been released and granted kingship. No crucifixion occurs in either story. Romulus – Romulus was not crucified, but rather is said to have been taken up into the heavens while still alive. Quirinus – No accounts seem to indicate him dying. Iao and Wittoba – there seems to be no information regarding the deaths of these two figures in any original sources. Orpheus – He was not crucified, but said to have been killed by Dionysus’ frenzied maenads after refusing to worship any god but Apollo. Bel – He is often associated with Zeus, and no accounts seem to indicate his death. Prometheus – He was chained to a mountain where an eagle ate his liver on a daily basis, as punishment from Zeus. Hercules would later free him. No crucifixion. Indra – There are different accounts of Indra’s death. In one narrative he is swallowed alive by a serpent called Vritra. Vritra then spits him out at the commands of some other gods. Because Indra is saved by the gods there is no death, nor a crucifixion. Dionysus – There is no crucifixion, instead he was eaten alive by Titans during infancy. Esus/Hesus – His followers would participate in human sacrifices by hanging a victim from a tree after disembowelment. There is no mention of a crucifixion. Attis – Attis bled to death after castrating himself below a tree. Alcestis – Alcestis agrees to die for her husband after he makes a deal with the gods. When the time comes, Alcestis is described as being in bed. The gods are touched by her devotion, take pity on her, and reunite her with her husband. No crucifixion is indicated here. Tammuz – He was allegedly killed by demons sent by Ishtar after she found him on her throne. Not a crucifixion. Krishna – Krishna was never crucified as he was shot in the foot with an arrow while he was meditating in a forest. Osiris – Osiris was tricked by Set, then sealed into a chest, and dumped into the Nile. The method of crucifixion was not even invented by this time. Questzalcoatl – Quetzalcoatl is never crucified at all. In one narrative he burns himself alive out of guilt for sleeping with a celibate priestess. In a different narrative we are told he was burnt by fire that was sent by the gods.

However, the story surrounding Jesus differs greatly. Jesus attracted followers instantly, and Zoroaster was believed to be killed around the age of 77 while Jesus was killed at the age of 33. Any parallels become questionable on the basis that Zoroaster is not mentioned in texts until to around 225 AD; that is almost 200 years after Christianity had already been in circulation.
Lastly, was Zoroaster’s death spiritually significant? It is believed Zoroaster was killed at the age of 77 after being slaughtered on one of his temple altars by Turanian invaders, however this aspect of his life is debated by scholars. Either way, his death was never believed to atone for sin or to hold any other spiritual purposes.
23. Jesus’ crucifixion in comparison to other alleged deities is unique.
Kersey Graves in his book ‘The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors’, names the following as crucified deities, and therefore, the crucifixion of Jesus is a pagan copy. Well, let’s analyze these “crucifixions” to see if they actually, firstly, are crucifixions. If, in fact, they are crucifixions then we should compare them to Jesus’ crucifixion, and see if they are the same: Mithras – Mithras was carried into heaven on a chariot, alive. This is not a crucifixion. Bali – There are various accounts regarding Bali’s death. One says that he was forced down (bodily) into the underworld after being deceived by Vamana, an avatar of Vishnu. In other accounts, Bali is said to have been released and granted kingship. No crucifixion occurs in either story. Romulus – Romulus was not crucified, but rather is said to have been taken up into the heavens while still alive. Quirinus – No accounts seem to indicate him dying. Iao and Wittoba – there seems to be no information regarding the deaths of these two figures in any original sources. Orpheus – He was not crucified, but said to have been killed by Dionysus’ frenzied maenads after refusing to worship any god but Apollo. Bel – He is often associated with Zeus, and no accounts seem to indicate his death. Prometheus – He was chained to a mountain where an eagle ate his liver on a daily basis, as punishment from Zeus. Hercules would later free him. No crucifixion. Indra – There are different accounts of Indra’s death. In one narrative he is swallowed alive by a serpent called Vritra. Vritra then spits him out at the commands of some other gods. Because Indra is saved by the gods there is no death, nor a crucifixion. Dionysus – There is no crucifixion, instead he was eaten alive by Titans during infancy. Esus/Hesus – His followers would participate in human sacrifices by hanging a victim from a tree after disembowelment. There is no mention of a crucifixion. Attis – Attis bled to death after castrating himself below a tree. Alcestis – Alcestis agrees to die for her husband after he makes a deal with the gods. When the time comes, Alcestis is described as being in bed. The gods are touched by her devotion, take pity on her, and reunite her with her husband. No crucifixion is indicated here. Tammuz – He was allegedly killed by demons sent by Ishtar after she found him on her throne. Not a crucifixion. Krishna – Krishna was never crucified as he was shot in the foot with an arrow while he was meditating in a forest. Osiris – Osiris was tricked by Set, then sealed into a chest, and dumped into the Nile. The method of crucifixion was not even invented by this time. Questzalcoatl – Quetzalcoatl is never crucified at all. In one narrative he burns himself alive out of guilt for sleeping with a celibate priestess. In a different narrative we are told he was burnt by fire that was sent by the gods.

Wonderful!!!, There's no fable they won't fabricate to make Jesus ordinary, they think by doing this, they will escape the Judgement awaiting them? Everyday, I get convinced that indeed, Jesus is who he says he is. With all the religions in the world, and these folks only have issues with Jesus. There's indeed something Satan is fighting against. The means determines the end. Thank you father for the prevellege to know you. |

annunaki2: The al amin and al hassan concept attributed to mohammed in islam is one of the things I find most ridiculous. For God's sake the vermin was an armed robber, murderer, rapist, liar, paedophile and every thing terrible you can imagine.  When you tell them they are worshipping the moon god, they will shout blasphemy. Without the moon, nothing for Islam. |
