About Abraham (AS), which came first? Abraham or Isaac? Who is the father of "Judaism" according to the bible?

There is no biblical/historical support for Abraham (AS) being a Jew. Correct me if you find information to the contrary. And thanks for your answer!

Bare with me, I am here reading the book of Genesis and exodus to refresm my memory. I'll get back to you asap

@Cayon: The Bible is not needed. But you may by the end of the tour realise just that. And by the way, when the fast is over, I will come uptown. I used to live on Strivers row, in the days. Ask people who know the neighborhood. They will tell you.

I am not a partying kind. [b]Its been many dec[/b]ades I haven't been to the type of party that you may be throwing. I have been into many food joints in that part of town. Even some hole in the wall. They do have good food. I am very conscious of what I eat these days. It has to be halal and then healthy.

Send me an email; aqeedahfirst@yahoo.com. You can also IM me. I will get back to you if you leave your schedule.

nuff respect.  I eat halal food couple times , must admit its very tasty

Peace

Man: 'May I buy you a cocktail?'
Maxine: 'No thank you, alcohol is bad for my legs.'
Man: 'Sorry to hear that. Do they swell?'
Maxine: 'No, they spread

I am going to post a joke soon so don't push this thread too far down. a beg wait fi me to post.

I have gotten so close to the four kids staying with me that I have adopted them with my heart . I even told my brother that I am going to be responsible for their books and uniforms (as long as I am working).

I am fluent in spanish, french, potois and learning yoruba.  Hardly anyone know that I speak other languages.  My mother told me not to let anyone know that I speak different languages - in that way I can smack them when they talk about me in front my face.

Peace

JustGood:
Oh yes. you know you insulted me yesterday for no reason but you think I should just accept your insult. I don't take insults and accept them, I am not the type of man who allows everyone to walk all over him. If you have been brought up to believe that being a woman gives you the right to insult people, I was not brought up to allow myself get walked over by anyone - man or woman.

If I control women, it's my life not yours and I have not invited you to my life to be controlled. Is it not for my wife to say if I control women or not?
Besides, when did it become a sin to like to control? It's up to everyone to decide what they can accept and what they can't. Any woman who doesn't like to be controlled should find a man that is non-controlling and every man who likes to control should find a woman that doesn't mind being controlled.

It is obvious without your saying so that you have never seen a man like me. That's why you trawl the internet day and night searching for what you're searching for. you will always get the same ind you've always got

silly women are trying to impose their wishes on the rest of mankind and make every man and woman be subject to their whims. If a woman is not as domineering as they are, they label her as being in slavery. If a woman is uncontrollable and wayward, they call her independent. Your end is obviously one of misery

Please go and hug your pillow. You'll do so for long OR maybe you have a rubber for your pleasure

Obviously, you are looking for someone to take out your frustration and bitterness on. Your email above is so full of 'what makes the grass grow green' that I'm going to print out a copy and put it on my lawn (if it ever warms up enough to start the grass growing). I am a blessed child so my end is not going to be one of misery. God is my keeper and my shelter.

Peace

@justgood:

I am up early b/c I had to join a conference call.  But b/4 I go to bed let me say this to you.

Are you trying to look sympathy from others?

We women are very sensitive but you took the icing so I am wondering if you are really a man

When and what day I insulted you?  Please post thread. And it better be yesterday?  Because it would be more embarrasing to see a man carrying "hate" for days now.  Talk about sensitivity

God, i have never seen a man like you behaving like a little kid.

You and SOME others think b/c y'all are men - women must not challenge y'all.  Guess what?  This is the internet and y'all cannot keep  a woman quiet . . . . .well at least me.

For the love of God, get over your hatred, anger, envious spirity, controlling woman attitiude, grow up and get well soon.

Again, I pointed out to you the stars and all you saw was the tip of my finger

Good night - i am going ot bed

I was reading this article abd thougt I should share

Peace

Why do Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan?

Muslims all over the world observe the annual fast during the daylight hours of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, in keeping with a divine commandment documented in Chapter 2, Verse 185 of the Holy Qur'an. Furthermore, Allah states, "O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it has been prescribed to those before you in order that you may attain taqwa" (Chapter 2, Verse 183). From this verse, we deduce that.
Fasting is prescribed for believers.
Fasting has historically been an institution commonly practiced by various religious communities (for example, during Lent by Christians and on Yom Kippur by Jews).
Fasting is a means to attaining taqwa.
Taqwa implies guarding one's self from evil and the imbibing of all elements of righteousness, thus reflecting the essence of piety. In its ethical dimension, it connotes moral rectitude (which is the fruit of God-oriented vigilance), and in its spiritual dimension it connotes purification of heart and mind.
Through fasting, one demonstrates the highest degree of obedience by willfully submitting to abstaining from lawful food, drink, and sexual relations from sunrise to sunset one month every year. This regimentation is an excellent means for spiritual and moral improvement.

Through fasting, the human being comes to grip with his carnal self, taming his physical appetites, subduing his greed and lust, and thus traversing a path which progressively elevates his consciousness from the physical to the moral and ultimately to the spiritual dimension of his being. This consciousness and submission is in a cultivation of self-discipline and is the ideal catalyst to improve society by improving the individual self.

It is also by means of fasting that those who never have to hunger or thirst are (to some extent) made personally aware of the plight of the underprivileged, which thus evokes a degree of social consciousness. The aim of attaining taqwa is, in fact, that degree of ethical rectitude and moral elevation that flows from a heightened level of God-consciousness. It emanates from the spiritual rejuvenation inspired by the selfless act of fasting for Allah.

Q. Who should fast, and who does not have to?

Fasting during the month of Ramadan is obligatory for every mature (over the age of puberty), sane, and healthy Muslim.

Those not obliged to fast are the insane, mentally retarded, or chronically ill, and those under the age of puberty.

People undertaking a strenuous journey; women who are menstruating, experiencing post-natal discharges, or pregnant; people with a temporary illness; and those involved in extremely strenuous occupations (for example, a soldier in battle) may suspend their fasting. These people, however, have to make restitution (qada') by fasting for the number of days equal to those missed, any time before the next Ramadan.

Q. What invalidates the fast, and what does not?

The following renders the fast void: intentional consumption of food or drink, sexual relations, deliberate vomiting, ejaculation of semen, or the beginning of menstruation or post-natal bleeding.

The following do not break the fast: eating or drinking out of forgetfulness (provided that one stops as soon as one becomes aware of the error); brushing the teeth; rinsing the mouth and nostrils with water; applying eye powder, face cream, hair oil, or perfume; swallowing unavoidable things such as saliva, dust, or smoke from the air; bathing; unintentional vomiting; having an injection or intravenous line that is solely medicinal, not nutritional; and embracing one's spouse.

Q. What are Fidyah and It'am?

If a person is too old, too frail, or physically unable to fast the month of Ramadan, the person (according to the Qur'an, Chapter 2, Verse 184) is to "redeem" or "pay ransom" (fidyah) for each day of fasting missed by either feeding (it'am) a needy person or giving charity in the amount needed to feed a person for a day. A person who would normally be able to fast but for some reason was not able to fast during that Ramadan--for example, a lactating mother who suspended fasting in order to adequately breastfeed her baby--has to restitute by fasting the number of days missed as well as feed (it'am) one person (or donate the monetary equivalent) for each day of fasting that she has missed.

Q. What is Kaffaarah?

Kaffaraah means "atonement" or "expiation" and applies to one who deliberately breaks his fast during the fasting period. Such a transgression must be atoned for by fasting for 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 needy people or giving in charity the amount equal to the cost of feeding 60 needy people.

Q. Why is Laylat-ul-Qadr the most important night of the Islamic calendar?

Laylat-ul-Qadr (meaning the Night of Power) is the commemoration of the initiation of the final divine revelation, the Qur'an. This event, which is annually celebrated by Muslim in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan, occurred in the 40th year of the Prophet Muhammad's life, or 610 C.E. While he was meditating in the cave of Hira near Mecca, Muhammed received, through the Archangel Gabriel, the first of a series of revelations that were to continue for 23 years. The mission of the last emissary of God was thus inaugurated on Laylat-ul-Qadr in the month of Ramadan, which ushered in a new and final phase in human history.

In Chapter 97 of the Qur'an, titled "al-Qadr," it is stated that Laylat-ul-Qadr is grander than a thousand months. The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said, "The month of Ramadan is a blessed month, a month in which Allah has made fasting obligatory. This month contains a night greater than a thousand months. Whosoever deprives himself of the blessings of that night truly denies himself tremendously." (An-Nisa'iee)

Many Muslims spend these nights in prayer, thanking Allah for His bounties and beseeching His forgiveness.
Q. What is the significance of Zakaat-ul-Fitr, on `Eid-ul-Fitr?

`Eid-ul-Fitr is the first day of Shawwal, which is the month that follows Ramadan. It is one of the two great festivals having full religious sanction in Islam. It is marked by congregational prayer accompanied by the continuous glorification of Allah. On `Eid-ul-Fitr, each family that can afford it is under divine obligation to provide a basic meal or its monetary equivalent to at least one needy person for each member of the family. This obligatory social-welfare tax, called zakaat-ul-fitr or sadaqat-ul-fitr, must be furnished to the poor before one prays the `Eid prayer.

The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said that the acceptance of one's fast hovers between heaven and earth until one's charity has reached the poor. Thus it is that even on the day of celebration when all the delicious foods we refrained from eating during Ramadan are availed to us, our attention is drawn to serve the needy and the downtrodden. When we analyze Ramadan and the 'Eid that follows, we realize that the spirit of Ramadan is one of introspection, moral elevation, and self-purification, and the spirit of 'Eid-ul-Fitr is one of good will and humanitarianism.

@ola:

I would like to point out that the verse does not say having homosexual feeling is wrong it says the actions are wrong. In essence its ok to have a homosexual orientation but don't practice it. Sounds like the catholics to me.Cheers.

God sees everything, a person's thoughts, their heart and their deeds, so yes by definition "homosexual feeling" is a sin in God's Eyes.

Wife vs Husband

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

No I've never been to Nigeria but God spare life I am visiting next year.  Honestly, while my father was living in the BVI with my mother - he never did some of the things his son is doing.  For the two weeks I am home I am learning by watching.  My brother is a man of few words (maybe b/c its Ramadan)  The four kids I adore and they love me. The mother and Father are going to a Mosque at 5pm.  The kids and I are going shopping.  When the Mother comes home, she is going to look at what I buy for them, then she is going to throw her hand in the air then start talking in her language  .  She does that all the time. she is funny.

I have to go

Circumcision, can only be done on 100% human. I was also circumcised and am 100% human. We see that Jesus was circumcised. But he was to be called Emmanuel and not Jesus! And no time he was called Emmanuel. Deceit started right from the bat!

Jesus, transliterated from the Latin Jesu, transliterated from the Greek Iesous, transliterated from the Hebrew Yeshua.

Immanuel -- Hebrew -

or God with us.
Jesus Christ is Immanuel, "God with us,"
