Omexonomy: @op for crying out loud i hope you are earning above the minimum wage. A lot of people ar poor that to them electricity is very expensive. One thing is certain when a commodity is too expensive people will certainly cut conners to get it. How many of the consumers are earning above ten thousand per month what percentage of thier income will go to PHCN. The govt should have cosidered all these b4 imposing it on the people

chukwudi44: Purgatory is mentioned as prison in the verse below
1 Peter 3:19-21 (King James Version) - Bible Gateway

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime
were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days.

The spirits of those who ignored noah were kept in prison pending the death of jesus

Ptolomeus: Excellent thread, my friend!
It is contradictory that the vast majority of the "possessed" are just Christians...
The question that arises is this: the Christian God does not protect its devotees? The Christian god has no power to care for their children from the dangers of Satan?
I never understood that.
I do not understand why a God so powerful, is fighting for thousands of years against Satan, unable to overcome ...
I suitable to send a fraternal embrace, dear friend!

tintingz: yeah it prove nothing indeed i get ur point. . .but don't you think Mary(as) should have a credit in the bible cuz in christianity Mary is the mother of God the mother of son the mother of holyghost? who died on the cross for mankind sins. . .she took care of little Jesus why can't she have her view(a chapter) in the bible so we can know everything about this "son of God" when he was little instead i only read when Jesus(pbuh) is preaching to the jews when Joseph and Mary were looking for him and found him in the temple talking to the jews after that we read Jesus as grown up

cyrexx: even your religion, which gave you your idea of God, cant do that. Your religion only promise you an imaginative fantasy of blissful unproveable second life. Anybody can promise anything. It doesnt stop death or old age that happens to everybody. Religion only offers an imaginative consolation. Nothing more.

But let me not discourage you, keep believing your God. Since that is what give you comfort and meaning in life.
Best wishes.

mkmyers45: ok the world is good now abi?

mkmyers45: is the world better off with it?

Delafruita: mumudele dumbosky

cyrexx: religioinsts, and particularly christianity falsely assumed that once you lose faith in god, you become an evil person.(ps14:1) that is both wrong and misleading, as there many many non-religious people that are very good and even better morally than most christians. infact, this wrong misconception that goodness requires belief in god is part of the successful demonization attempts of christianity on anything that runs contrary to its belief system.

plaetton: So it is only the fear of god that keeps you from being a wild beast? Is that not an admission that without the belief of god, you have no moral compass, no conscience, no empathy, no humanity?

I have the above human attributes in abundance, and I dont believe in god.

So, who actually is a better human being with respect to ethics, morality, compassion and humanity, the religionist who pretends because he is fearful of the wrath of his loving god, or the athiest who embodies these virtous qualities within himself without the fear of any god?

Kindly answer.

mkmyers45: Wow....You see your life...SMH

You mates are making it and thanking 'Gawd' you dey hear they list some of the reasons why you don't want 'god' to exist...Mr Man shine your eyes...

tobechi20: If there is no God, u would have been a cheat,killer etc....thank God there is God


for me, what directs me is what Jesus say in the bible, DO TO OTHERS WHAT U WANT THEM TO DO FOR U

Goshen360: For instance, If I wish to select or highlight your text above, I will place my mouse right before "H" that started your statement above "How can I select or highlight word? I don't know how to do that." and without leaving or still holding the mouse click down, I will drag over or across the whole text until it changes to "blue" highlight as I perform the action and stop/drop the mouse click when I have selected/highlighted my desired text. I can now "Ctrl C" to copy, then "Ctrl V" to PASTE.

You wanna try it out? Give it a shot.

Goshen360: Hello Ay,

After you have finished typing your message. Look at the top extreme left of the typing area, you will the sign "B" (it's to bold your selected/highlighted words), Next after "B" is "I" (to italicize your highlighted or selected words), ..... at the extreme right, which is the with a drop box, you see "Change Color" in a rectangle box. After you select or highlight your words, you can click on "change color" to apply your color of choice. These are all text formatting tools to change your text or font face.

Sure this helps.

tobechi20: I boarded a car from abuja to lafia on friday. .BY 1 :00, the driver packed and informed us that he was going to pray. We tried disuading him tellieg him that we were time conscious and promised him extra income to forget the prayer. He hissed, told us DA ISKA(dont know the meaning) and left the car only to come back 40 minutes later .

I was angry that day but i realy learnt something..,NOTHING CAN SAPERATE A MUSLIM FROM HIS GOD.

On another ocasion, i met an aboki man in themarket .i was standing watching him repair my calculator....by 1 pm, he dropped my calculator and ran off to mosque witout locking the shop.... I reminded him to lock d shop else his wares wil get stolen.. He replied, "make they steal."


An average muslim is wholeheartedly commited to his religion. They are ready to give up anything for Allah. They can kill their best friend in religious war.

CAN A CHRISTIAN DO THE SAME?? I doubt it

christians work on sunday and say "GOD WILL UNDERSAND"
Many christians dont go to church for fear of church bombing ....
and we call ourself CHRISTIANS ..
i wish we could have the zeal and dedication in our religion.

LagosShia: Holy Quran 20:14
"Verily, I am Allah: There is no god but I: So serve thou Me (only), and establish regular prayer for celebrating My praise".


no.

aleehaa (aliha) and Aliyah (name of person meaning someone of high position) are not the same thing in both meaning,word and pronunciation.


Muhammad's (sa) father (ra) was not a pagan.he was Hanif.there is a tradition from the Prophet (sa) that the loin of a polytheist or an adulterer never carried him (in other words he never descended from polytheist/adulterer right up to Abraham a.s.).

yes people during the time before the birth of Prophet Muhammad (sa) were monotheists even though a small number of them.they were called "hanif".they followed the pathway and belief in One God (Allah) as the religion of Abraham and they were never polytheists nor bowed to idols.


Islam,the tradition of Abraham (as) and what Muhammad (sa) taught have nothing to do with those idols.in fact Prophet Muhammad (sa) destroyed all the 360 idols that were stored in the holy Ka'ba,which is a house of worship dedicated to Allah (swt) by Abraham and Ishmael (as) as even the arabians before Prophet Muhammad (sa) also believed.



God is not found in the Ka'ba and does not reside there.He is far exalted from being in that position.

please compare the facing of the Qiblah (prayer direction towards the Ka'bah) to what we also find in the bible:



Genesis 28:18
The next morning Jacob got up very early. He took the stone he had rested his head against, and he set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it.

Genesis 35:14
Jacob set up a stone pillar to mark the place where God had spoken to him. Then he poured wine over it as an offering to God and anointed the pillar with olive oil.

Daniel 6:10
Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

Jonah 2: 4-7
“Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet ‘I will look again’ toward thy holy temple…When my soul fainted within me I remembered Yahweh; and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.”

2 Chronicles 6:18-21
18 “But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! 19 Yet, LORD my God, give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence. 20 May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, this place of which you said you would put your Name there. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place. 21 Hear the supplications of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

1 Kings 8:27-29
27 “But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! 28 Yet give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy, LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day. 29 May your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which you said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that you will hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place.

Isaiah 38:2
"Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD".

1 Kings 8:44-45
"When you command your people to go into battle against their enemies and they pray to you, wherever they are, facing this city which you have chosen and this Temple which I have built for you, listen to their prayers. Hear them in heaven and give them victory".

LagosShia: ^

the name "Allah" is unique in arabic.it is neither a masculine noun nor a feminine.i have earlier presented you verses from the Holy Quran where He calls Himself 'Allah' and also He orders us to call Him 'Allah'.

as for the origin of the word itself'what is clear is that in semitic languages (arabic and hebrew and their aramaic mother language) 'EL' or 'Al'ia the root for the word 'Allah" or 'Elah' or 'Alah' (as it once appeared in the bible but was later on expunged).we thus read in the bible that when Jesus (as) was allegedly placed on the cross,he exclaimed: "Elah Lima Sabahtani".we also hear the christians exclaiming :"Alleluya".'Al' or 'El' is the root here and it refers to the Unique One Supreme Almighty Unseen Creator of all and everything.'Al-Lah' ('the-One-God') points out to that Unique One Supreme Almighty Unseen Creator in both meaning and name.

i hope this helps.if any question,please ask further.

tbaba1234: The whole Quran is authored by Allah. It is the speech of Allah

I am Allah; there is no god but Me. So worship Me and keep up the prayer so that you remember Me. (Surah 20:14)

You partially answer my question. Pls what is the meaning of Allah?

LagosShia: but why shouldn't "jehovah's organization",the watchtower,which claims a direct telephone line to Jehovah,with countless endtime prophecies both that have come NOT to pass and the remaining ones they are hanging around the necks of witnesses with the fear of armageddon (intimidation),their obligatory order for every witness to preach door to door with official record keeping of the number of hours preached,and their claim to be the "only true religion",cannot reveal the true pronunciation of God's "name"?that is the same "name" they bluff about and use to convert others,when infact they themselves do not know the correct pronunciation.so much for confusion and deception and tricks.the jews themselves who own the hebrew language in which the 4 letters appear have decided not to give themselves headache with its pronunciation while "jehovah's witnesses" have made a religion out of 4 letters they themselves cannot pronounce correctly and at the same time claim to be the only "true religion" with contact with Jehovah.how is that possible?are we not talking about a man-made imagination formed into a religion here?

why keep playing the game of try and error with God's "name" by injecting vowels into a four letter word and end up rendering it into different words? is that not confusion?

as for the names of Jesus and Joshua,the only difference is the "J" and the "Y".the europeans have a taste for making the "Y" into a "J".aside from that their names are neither obscure nor confused with so many words or rendered into so many words and not knowing which one is the right one to pronounce.

tbaba1234: Hi.

1. If yahweh is the name of the creator of the unique, indivisible creator of the heavens and the earth, Then yes they are the same thing. To Allah belongs many beautiful names.

2. Say, ‘He is Allah the One, 2 Allah the eternal. 3 He begot no one nor
was He begotten. 4 No one is comparable to Him.’ (Surah 112)
