Christianity EtcRe: A Muslim Will Enter Paradise Even If He Commits Theft Or Adultery by Bossdave: 8:24pm On Nov 01, 2022
TenQ:
I must confess that if I was a Muslim, I would be thoroughly EMBARRASED by the fact that Allah Prays and probably be doing EVERYTHING to COVERUP the goof as you Muslims are doing now.

Even from the text
Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Surah 33:56:
The people of Israel said to Moses: “Does your Lord pray?” His Lord called him saying: “O Moses, they asked you if your Lord prays. Say to them: ‘Yes, I do pray, and my angels pray upon my prophets and my messengers,’” and Allah then sent down on his messenger: “Allah and His angels pray . . .” [/b](Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Q. 33:56;


Ibn Kathir explains by asking the specific Question
Does your Lord Pray?
Allahs response: Yes, I do pray, and my angels pray upon my prophets

The Issue has NOTHING to do with the phrase "Allah send down on his messenger" . It has to do with a Question and the RESPONSE to the Question.
What else do you want as clear explanation. It explains perfectly Quran 33:56


You Muslims with twisting grammar to say some thing else. When you Muslims do Salat on your prophet, what are you doing? Aren’t you praying for him?

Finally, if the bone of contention is that Allah sends down his blessing upon Mohammed, do the Angels ALSO have the power to send down blessings upon Mohammed?
“Allah AND his angels send blessing upon the prophet…”

Your last statement is Laughable:
Dua means prayer and it wasn’t used in the hadith. So, there is no other synonymn for Prayer!? SMH!!
Can you quote how you muslims send salat upon your prophet?
That's how they do. Rather than reflect on the anomalies to see whether they've been deceived, they'll enter defence mode.
They even ignorantly pray for the dead.

HealthRe: How To Cure Hypertension And Reverse Strokes by Bossdave: 5:06pm On Aug 19, 2022
HisSplendor:
Guy, I salute that Cardiovax This drug saved my dad from death in 2016. He had stroke and the situation was fast detoriorating. Someone, a family friend recommended Cardiovax to us. Dad's situation began to improve within days! In few weeks, stroke was gone and hypertension disappeared. With time, he regained youthful strength to a good extent. Today, my dad's 88yrs but when you see him, he looks like someone in his early 70s. The whole family now uses the drug. We have never recorded any sickness since we started using it to detoxify ourselves. But, why are the hospitals not creating awareness about this? People are dying needless deaths. Cardiovax rocks, I swear!
Yeah, I can relate.

The drug has been very helpful for my mum. I think it's a great drug for everyone to use.
Christianity EtcRe: The Israelite God, Yahweh Of Shasu Tribe by Bossdave: 1:28pm On Aug 09, 2022

Illiterate, when did i also say otherwise before you jumped in and Said I don’t know what “tanakh” means, show me my mistake that warranted that desperate action from you?

Yahweh worshipper, why are you deceiving yourself, lying desperately to defend your deity, are you intentionally making yourself dumb?
Let me tell you again, shasu tribe adopted Yahweh from Egypt.
Your Yahweh has a mom “cum” wife

I’ll give you links that will aid your research once you settle down.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuntillet_Ajrud_inscriptions

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahwism
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_(deity)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shasu

I’m even glad you are doing research about your deities. It’s a positive.
Oh oh. You're not questioning why Jesus was mentioned in the Bible again? Laughable!


Hahaha. The sashu adopted Yahweh from Egypt, and where did the Egyptians adopt Yahweh from?
.
Christianity EtcRe: The Israelite God, Yahweh Of Shasu Tribe by Bossdave: 12:39pm On Aug 09, 2022
Maynman:
Illiterate why are you lying?

What you said is basic.
Judaism uses tanakh, and the Christian book which was written centuries later was added to it to make the Christian bible.
before Christianity was created, Judaism uses tanakh.
You're a dummy.

Always arguing with yourself. Now compare what I said with what you said and see how foolish you are. Don't you use your senses? Always arguing with yourself.

Once I settle down, I'll furnish you with the 10 proofs I spoke about. For the meantime, you can continue your lies since you're jobless. Tonight, I'll debunk your lies.

Maynman:
Lying yahweh worshipper, you are getting desperate because I don’t worship your Israelite god. cheesy

Which religion uses the tanakh? It seems Christianity originated from that religion.

hope you know Bible literally means BOOK, and we have jewish bible called tanakh, and Christian bible called “new testaments” cheesy
You are just learning all these, so calm down to learn and not come to argue.

I’ve already schooled you on Yahweh of shasu tribe, i can still school you more on jesus Chrestus and Christian bible called the New Testament.
Dumb Illiterate!
You have very low IQ, otherwise you wouldn't be talking giberish for lack of comprehension of simple texts.

I already clarified that the Tanakh is a part of the Christian Bible. Not the whole. The Old testament is the Tanakh Part of the Christian Bible. It does not feature Jesus Christ. The Jewish Bible which is the Tanakh is called old testament in the Christian Bible. That should be clear to even a dummy.

The Christian Bible consists of Old testament (Tanakh) and New Testament. The Jewish Bible is Tanakh alone.

I've explained now like someone explaning to a dummy, if you still don't get it, you need to see a doctor.

I've told you that Amenhottep IiI viewed the Israelites as being part of the sashu. And even if the Sashu tribes are different from the Israelites, your argument makes no sense because the Exodus happened in Egypt about 1500 BCE. The Amenhottep inscription was dated 1400 BCE. This means that the Israelites have promoted Yahweh before the Amenhottep inscription.

If you want to argue blindly or falsely that Israel was never in Egypt, I'll furnish you with 10 archeological proofs with dates that will debunk all your lies!

Bud, I’ve been asking you questions and you didnt answer, yet you are getting angry that I didn’t answer yours, that’s hypocrisy and it’s obvious.

you should have knowledge on the canonical books you are quoting, that’s common sense.

Listen to your advice and answer my questions too, bud.
Where did you read that church fathers edit tanakh?
Where did the church fathers forge and interpolate from?
Jesus is not mentioned in the “tanakh”, so how did “holy bible” evolve from tanakh?
Budaatum, this guy is not worth anyone's attention. His ignorance is out of this world.

He doesn't even know that the Tanakh is what we have as the Old Testament part of the Bible. It does not constitute the whole Bible, and yeah, Jesus was not mentioned there. The second part of the Bible which is the New Testament is where Jesus Christ was featured, and that part has nothing to do with the Tanakh.

And besides, There’s no where in history where “Israelite” was in egypt, even the “moses” is a mythological figure.

2. https://www.nairaland.com/7232391/ill-support-funds-start-lucrative

Details About this Second Batch

I am encouraged by the fact that almost all those who participated in the first batch of this project are doing well as Starters. Having received many requests from those who couldn't participate to extend further help to them, I have decided to run a Batch 2 even though it was not originally intended.

The Developers have cut down the charges for developing each website. A big shout out to them. Also, I now have the support of like-minded colleagues to join hands together to help fellow Nigerians in this biting economy.

We would help you set up your own autoḿated VTU Vending Business where you can sell Cheap Data, Electricity Tokens for all DISCOS, Airtime for all Networks, Recharge Card PINs, Examination Scratch Cards (WAEC, NECO, JAMB, etc), Bulk SMS and Cable TV subscriptions (GoTV, DSTV, Startimes, etc.).

We'll render all the assistance as rendered in the Batch 1 of this exercise but we would not provide start-up capital as I did in Batch 1.

What We Would Provide

1. A fully automated website for your utility vending business valued at ₦75,000.

Features of the Website Includes

A. Recharge Card PINs generation for all networks to enable resellers buy from you, and print on paper.

B. Prepaid and Postpaid Meter Recharge for all DISCOs.

C. Airtime vending for all networks.

D. Normal and SME Data Subscription for all networks as low as ₦225/Gb

E. Automatic Sales and Renewal of TV cable subscriptions such as DSTV, GOTV, Startimes, etc.

F. Bulk SMS selling at competitive rates. You'll be able to buy at ₦225/Gb.

G. Automatic Money Transfers to all Banks in Nigeria.

H. A .com.ng Domain in your preferred domain name valued at ₦2000/year.

I. Fully paid 3 months hosting service valued at ₦3,000

WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE FUNDING CAPITAL FOR STOCKING YOUR BUSINESS AS I DID IN BATCH 1.

For this Batch 2, there'll be no screening or interview. You still have to make your ₦25k commitment. You can pay it in installments of ₦5000, ₦10,000 monthly or Pay it up at once.

Note: We would not monitor your business or expect monthly reports from you as I am currently doing for those in Batch 1.

Limited Slots Available.

This is most likely going to be the last Batch.

Interested individuals should comment below with their whatsap numbers.
