Honestly I don't see anything wrong.
So no issues if they are gay or lesbian

...any solution?... Even the white man with renowned psychologists struggled with homosexual solutions for years, to no avail...that's why now they just accept it

I stay in a 3 bedroom apartment somewhere in the east, the ceiling in the parlour/living room has a small broken part.
Came to the dinning to pick my tab and saw this big owl, na JESUS! first comot for my mouth.
Luckily for me I had previously closed all the glass louvres on the window, so it could not get out.
With the help of a big stick... Finally killed it,

I also don't like arguing but I love trying to enlighten my people with the little that I know. For example your point:

That means that in your court a person who kills in self-defense is guilty of murder regardless of how and why; they killed so they must face the music. But there is violence and there is violence.

In the court of law self defense is a valid excuse but it does not take away from the act. Violence is violence regardless of the motive, now whether you are convicted or judged for such violent acts is another different story. Hope you get my point. Irregardless, my example of violence in both books is not meant to ridicule them but rather highlight the similarities in both. The white men got married in a church, the black man had a traditional marriage ceremony, who is to say one is valid over the other? This is what I meant by one God, how we choose to worship him is another story entirely.....lol

abbey621:
Christians at least the earlier people of the book also believed in Jihad. Jihad is holy war which means fighting for God and it was done by Moses, Abraham and many others in the Bible. In more modern times it was done by the Holy Roman Catholic Church when they fought the Holy Crusades so this is like giving ammunition to my points. Furthermore man's problem has always been interpretation, most religion were formed based on stories and no one is 100% certain of the authenticity but I guess that's what we call faith. Without faith there is no religion, I'm not going to speak on other religions because I have not extensively researched them but I do know about Islam and Christianity. These two religions are more similar in their origin than you know. From a scholarly standpoint you might want to find out what the earliest version of the Bible looked like before it was translated by the zionist. The easiest way to describe it is to remove the new testament and compare the Quran with the old testament. You'll find all the prophets are the same, all the stories are the same, all the violence, the miracles are all the same. This is the shocking truth and no one can deny it but somewhere along the line things changed but even with these changes, you'll be surprised that some aspects of the new testament are also in the Quran. By you saying the Quran copied the Bible only serves to strengthen my point that they both have the same origin, which to me means they operate under the principle of serving an eternal God with no rival. Which to me means there is only one God and since there is only one God, the logical conclusion here is that they both serve the same God since he is only one anything else is blasphemy! The Quran even confirms that what is written in it is verified by the Torah and Injil, so I'm very convinced Christians and Muslims and Jews serve the same God, the only difference is the alteration and ways people worship over the years.

Finally, you cannot separate the violence in one and term it as religious and then do the same for the other and call it self-preservative. This is purely sentimental and not based on FACTS. Are the violence of Moses or Joshua any different from that of other prophets? Since all these violence are well represented by both books I fail to see how you can separate them.

abbey621:
It's a shame you feel that way, speaking strictly from a scholarly standpoint, I see no significant difference between the Quran and the old testament of the Bible. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise but when it comes to the ways of worship and the totality of the religions, yes there are vast differences. Finally if you say the God of one is not the God of the other then you have contradicted the basic foundation of both religion which is the oneness of God. I'm not going to get into which religion is right or wrong but the foundation can never be questioned. God is one, God has no beginning and God is infinite. This is my own little understanding, I'm only human

abbey621:
Don't get it wrong, I'm not here to push one religion over the other, in fact that counteracts my entire point of enlightenment. My point is exactly the opposite, all religions have their flaws and strengths and that there is really not that much difference between a christian or a Muslim. In regards to your question, there is no law just an acceptance of a way of life. Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah; even Joseph. It was acceptable in those days to not only arrange marriage through parents but to also marry women at a very young age. Women did not get much say in this and there are plenty examples both in the Quran and the Bible. My main point is to show that both religion are not so different and a flaw in one can easily be found in the other!

abbey621:
This is why interpretation matters a lot more than just looking at words and assume you know the meaning. My knowledge today differs greatly from 5 or 7 years ago. Enlightenment takes time and it starts when we make a conscious effort to seek true knowledge. I want you to do one thing, pick up the Bible and only focus on the old testament then find a copy of the English translated version of the Quran, can you tell me which is more violent? Which is more sexists? Which is more intolerant? Don't be surprised that you will find that they are exactly the same thing. This shows us all that these books are not to be interpreted using today's standards alone, to do so will be a huge mistake.

Example: In the early centuries, it is an abomination that a young woman refuse the husband chosen for her. In today's term it is unacceptable to even put one's child through such but both the Bible and the Quran supports it. Are we to say these books are flawed? Only you can decide for yourself, this is true enlightenment!

abbey621:
There's a difference between being religious and being a fanatic! Most people go to church or mosque, observe fasting and stay away from drugs or other vices but the simple basis of their religion they fail to follow it. Love thy neighbor as thy self! It happens here in Nigeria a lot, Muslims will ignore Christians while Christians do the same. We see a starving neighbor or one who is in danger and we just turn a blind eye. If this is an acceptable doctrine of one enlightened religion then I want no part of it! Enlightenment is seeing beyond religion, seeing beyond tribes, skin color, gender and so on. It is a state of being when one has discovered his or her true purpose in life, it is different from any doctrine because it simply cannot be taught, it MUST be discovered!

Xda59:
That is still not an excuse. If they give it out for free, no hawker will sell it because nobody will buy. Now that it is being hoarded, it will be an even bigger Avenue for individuals to reproduce and sell at a higher price.

abbey621:
I agree that doctrines are the problem but completely disagree at the bold sentence! Were you born with any doctrine? NO! All doctrines are learned behavior and as such is open to interpretation. True enlightenment is making those discoveries, separating the jargon from the truth, the message from the hysteria. Unfortunately most deeply religious people are not enlightened, they think they are but are truly not!

Statsocial:
Since a person now needs permission to share RCCG "Open Heavens" then RCCG should also take permission to Sing Sinach, Kirk Franklin, Tope Alabi etc songs during Service. I love RCCG dearly but this was a real blunder. Pls come out and denounce that Memo!

Charlesdock:
Why can't they let it circulate since it contain God's words. If people are blessed by it, they will sow back into the church.

abbey621:
I have answered your question, misinformation is the reason many bible verses and Quran verses are interpreted incorrectly. I don't know which copied which and I'm not here to argue that. Finally a terrorist spreads terror and a religious terrorist is one who believes the harm he/she is about to do is approved by God. The same goes for an overly religious person that refuses medical treatment for their child or self even though they have a serious medical condition or that overly religious person who refuses to help a starving child or neighbor because they believe in a different religion. Both are frowned upon by the religion they so vividly fight for! Enlightenment occurs when you realize there are deeper meanings to both holy books and religion is not the end game but only the beginning of your discoveries!

abbey621:
This might be shocking to you but do you know we have misinformed Muslims just like we have misinformed Christians?

Especially Nigerians, we are so damn lazy that a quick search on the internet is so much difficult than just going with the flow.....lol

Furthermore, the Quran is much like the old testament of the Bible so you can't take everything word for word without looking at the context. The problem we have in this world is that the difference between a terrorist and a very religious person is not much, both believe they are doing the right thing and will never open their minds to true enlightenment.....#staywoke

alBHAGDADI:
Clearly, the name Ishmael is not mentioned. From the passage, I can as well infer that it was speaking of TIMOTHY.

Now, which will you believe? The Bible that mentioned Isaac as the son when the story was written in the Old Testament thousands of years before the Quran, or the quran that failed to mention the name as Ishmael even after the Quran was written thousands of year after the old testament and by people who weren't close to the time the events took place?

abbey621:
I like to believe we are all adults here and capable of doing basic research But I'll be glad to help you out a little.

Quran 5.51 in your write up is translated incorrectly.

O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends: They are but friends to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

The correct translation:

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.


Context: The Quran much like the Old testament was written during times of uncertainty and conquests. This verse is not about friendship but protection or patronizing. It is simple actually, it means if you look for protection from people of other religion then it is very easy for them to convince you to change your religion.

I suggest you stop this your religious ignorance and seek enlightenment instead of trying to convince yourself one religion is the grand daddy of them all
