Tayo-D. Relax! Do you know that you are redefining the word 'rich'? Good contribution from rica indeed and I will like to corroborate his submission by just taking a look at the dictionary meaning of the word RICH Adjective: rich (richer,richest) rich Possessing material wealth "her father is extremely rich"; "many fond hopes are pinned on rich uncles" Having an abundant supply of desirable qualities or substances (especially natural resources) "blessed with a land rich in minerals"; "rich in ideas"; "rich with cultural interest" http://www.wordwebonline.com/search.pl?w=RICH In no place was it related to ability to meet needs or wants. Thats perhaps a paraphrase and not the general meaning of the word. By inference, it can be concluded that Jesus was not rich. If someone who has goodwill anywhere he goes and never starves, not because he has money to feed himslef or buy his clothes but his goodwill brings enables people to promptly come to his aid, will you say such an one is rich? I do not think so. |
jerrymania:For that boldened portion, i beg to disagree. We see a very similar analogy in the book of Exodus. (See Exodus 32:10-14) I will paraphrase this scripture for a better understanding. God was wrath with the Isrealites cos He considered them to obstinate. He therefore told Moses that He wass going to consume them due to his anger and make a 'new' great nation out of Moses. Moses refused and 'managed' God saying what will the heathen nations say when they hear that the same God who led the Isrealites out of Egypt has destroyed them? They might say that He could no longer sustain them and hence, had to destroy them. He therefore asked God t orepent of that evil he was planning to do. The bible says, God changed His mind and was no longer angry. Moses was a kind of Jesus. Like you admitted, Jesus intervened and God changed His mind. God is always happy when intercessors present themselves. Abraham interceeded for Sodom and Gomorrah in like manner. Now Jesus said something in particular concerning his coming to the earth: John 18:37; Pilate thereforee saith unto Him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, thou sayest that i am king. To this end, was I born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice |
OlowoTee:Waiting for the day he will change His screename to Frontslider janami:I agree with you 1000% |
He has no colour |
combatant:What has he said? Nuffin! If this is your best scholar, then you people have no hope. Age-full Ola, I am beginning to come to terms with your style of engagement. I can see that you really find it hard to digest anything a bit complex. Yt, there is no complexity in this matter. It is just that your mind has been sired with hot iron such that you can no longer comprehend some basics. They have asked you three asic questions, you effaced them all. In addition to Pilgrim's questions I ask; ~ Was Allah in existence before Mohammad was born? Now to your posts: olabowale:We have always known that our Jesus is diffenret from the one given in the quran. Your prophet was supposed to come and continue from where the earlier prophets stopped without making a distinction of one from the other. But what do we have, in your own words :STARK DIFFERENCES. So who is contradictory if not Allah? Now, let me ask you, How can you then make real the qust by your prophet that you consult the people of the book whenever you have teething problems understanding or comprehending Mohammad's or Allah's messages? You claim our book is corrupt or better still in your confusionist state, lost right? Did Allah or his propht not know that that was going to happen before giving such 'futile' assignments? As regards, corruption, Allah had said in the quran that no on can alter the words of Allah in the Torah nd other books that he (Allah) revealed right? so why then do you find it difficult to give us the originals that Allah must hav preserved? Is it possibl that Allah does not have a strong room for these books he claimed to have released? So many questions begging for answers uncle! If you can't provide answers, that adds a feather to my cap in saying that Allah must be dead. olabowale:Only shows the peverted writings like that of the gospel of Barnabas that Mohammad must have read. There is no where it is written that Jesus ever talked as a babe in the bible. olabowale:If Jesus of the quran is one of the 'accepted' prophets of Islam, then i have a serious issue with you people. Why is the Jesus of the quran very much different from Mohammad if they are from the same God or Allah? the Jsus of the quran never killed or maimed did he? He did even performed miracles? Hee must have being an ambolishment of love I presume. But why is Mohammad remarkedly different? Beats my imagination. COuld a single source of spring water spew out both hot and cold water at the same time? Can Allah be peacful and loving in Jesus but more dastardly, barbaric and overtly inhumane or dehumanising in Mohammad? Are you sure there is no problem here? olabowale:Your brothers in the Catholic church trained Mohammad at some point. That was how he got the message of the trinity all screwed up! Please do not just pile up loads of rubbish by just bringing irrelevances. We have severally tackled out RCC brethren of the herecies they have. If you have a modicum of respect and honour still left, I would not expect you ever to bring up catholic doctrines or dogmas when discussing with us again. olabowale:The only reason why Allah could not keepo his words of preventing a dilution of the bible is SHEER INCOMPETENCE! Wait a minute! If what we call the bible is not Allah was referring to, then produce the original bible that your Allah in his 'sovereignity (?)' preserved. They probaby could be in the Kaabal! olabowale:Probably a scintilla! Any more misdemanours will confide you to the inglorious hall of sham & dishonour olabowale:Only a kindergarten could have built this house of ordinary sand.If all of Mohammads followers had each written their own versions of Mohammad's life, guess your contradictions would have been worse of! olabowale:Look at yourself in the mirror, can you see the big knowledge gap needing to be filled? What did you expect to happen to The Living Word of God? He preached and signs and wonders accompanied his words. How I wish I can say the same of Mohammad and Allah is errand spirit. olabowale:No need to even respond to this ignorant post. If I were you, I would rather see how I can reconcile with Jesus that is said to be coming back. Cant you see that you guys just have a book that contradicts you severally? I know you would have wished that Jesus was not mentioned in the QUran at all! olabowale:He is coming back. He is coming to take his beloved home. You still have an opportunity to repent so that He can forgve your sins. olabowale:What context, you are boxed in a coner and you therefore try to defend the indefensibl. You wont make sense trying to defend what is absurd! urine on your cloth confines you to hell. Yawning means the devil is fanning you, drinking camels urines, mountains dropping as pegs to stabilise the earth, etc., only shows that your Allah is not knolwedgeable. How could a prophet have married a 6 yr-old? How? I dare ask you a question. Why did Mohammad end up with 22 wives when he limited you people to just four (4)? He was surely filled with lust and obsession and sexual perversion. Even to have collected the wife of his adopted son alone shows you that he was only lewd and carnal. Again, when I look at the duaghters of Allah in relation to the satanic verses, I just marvel. Allah (if he exists) and Mohammad together have been the biggest fraud that ever happened to man only to come and dehumanise man and make him blow up himself in expectation of virgins, wine and wealth in an afterlife he will never enjoy. God have mercy. |
Backslider:In that case, if Backslider has confirmed that we can be multimillionaires doing legit businesses ans still be christians, I think that puts paid to the issue Forget about whether Jesus was rich or poor jare. |
Backslider:Hey! Backslider, watch it! While it is true that women were seldomly used, it does not connote a relegation. God is no racist or whatever you call one who discriminates against gender. Afterall, He created them both as we have it in Genesis that Male & Female, created He them. There might be lame explanations for men featuring in most of these scenes such as men being very strong physically, and more stable emotionally e.t.c. and that all these things might help a man's spiritual consecration and concentration, there might not be cogent spiritual explanations for such choices at least to us humans except a more advanced revelational knowledge. Backslider:How do you mean by this? Hope you do not connote that women are evil? ![]() |
Uncle Ola! ![]() Ok. I apologise. I wont again let any 'seemngly foolish' post ignite unruly words from me towards you or anyother. I am sorry. My premises in saying Allah is dead are these: 1) It has been confirmed that Allah cannot perform miracles. Our own Jesus who lives forevermore (as attested to by your quran) continues to perform wonders at the us of His name by His children. 2) Allah, like i said in an earlier post of mine was not introduced by Mohammad. Mohammad met Allah oon earth. You would agree with me that Allah was one of the very many gods of the pagan nations back then that is identified with the crscent moon symbol. Allah is otherwis known as the moon god. 3) It is an undeniable fact of history that before Muhammed was born, the moon god "al-Ilah" (Allah) had three daughters named al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat. The first two were even named after their father. Each daughter had a separate shrine near Mecca, where Allah's shrine was located. If Allah had earthly daughters, he must have died and we do not read of resurrection of that Allah that died that has now being deified. |
Which word? The guy just yearned dust! Opata!. Nada! His conclusion is not fertile. He carries two books and is confused as to which is right or wrong. How I'm I sure he can even read ? Why dont you go a step further and demonstrate through your scholarship, the on which is right or wrong? That's the only way yu would have added value.Cheers! |
[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=3643.msg1676170#msg1676170 date=1194959361]Dear cgift, Please, try to refrain from caving in under the pressure to cast aspersions on 'Allah'. We may not agree with Muslims in their convictions about the career of Muhammad; but we can demonstrate the reality of Christ living in us by not stooping to the unfortunate level of freely ridiculing 'God' directly. I would rather present incontrovertible FACTS to the Muslim by discussing issues from both the Bible, Qur'an and Hadiths, than by joining them in their rascal behaviour. May God's blessings keep your heart rejoicing all day in Jesus. [/quote]Dear sis, I understand. I understand. I understand.Many thanks, How is work going? |
We all know He was rich in heaven but he was porr on earth! Haba! Why would a physically or materially rich being look for a fish before being able to pay taxes? He was not 'rich'. To be rich is not to be comfortable. Riches transcends just being comfortable unless we are deceiving ourselves. He was not materialistic so he could not have being rich. Backslider, answer my deeper life question? |
One more thing: If the submission of a woman is expected in marraige and marriage is supposed to mirror the Church, why shouldn't the submission of the woman be expected in the church - I mean, the Pastor Mrs. should have a 'reporting' line or something that would show her submissiveness in the church though she plays very active roles. |
Another thing: God can usee any body at any level in any dimension be it a man or a woman. Most Men of God can hardly stand beside Kathryn khulman when it comes to the level of aunction that she carried during her ministry. However, that is not to say that God cares less about gender. He does a whole lot but is notlimited by it. If not, why didn't Jesus come as a woman? Or why did he not have a woman amongst His disciples or better still, the deacons that were first chosen prior to Paul's ministry, why no woman? He does care about gender but is not limited by it! |
Not too sure especially if there is no man at all like a pastor who would direct the rder of things. For me, there must be a man probably her husband who should be the head but she can have a very active role especially if she is a prophetess or something. |
Ezinwannem:omo, what of the cold ![]() |
Omo, i b first. Bin first no be beans at all. My challenges for instance: You must (as much as God gives you grace) provide exemplary leadership, support heaviliy financially especially where parents are not bouyant enough for fees etc. Live life with good morals if you want your siblings to have a positive reference to you. Its all fun as you see your siblings also grow under your influence to become something in life. Moreover, that position is largely spiritual and of utmost importance to God. |
ok then. back to the topic. |
Riches should b secondary in christianity and not at the forefront. Lets live the issues of whether Christ was poor or rich and focus on what the scriptures teach about our welfare for today's christians. So what do we have. Backslider, I will like to ask you, is it not too good for a christian (say a Deeper Life member) to be a multimillionaire today doing legit business? |
olabowale:I know Mister! Christains are even dominating the north mor than ever before now. That's why your islamist fundamentals and fanatics are trying to curtail their expansion with the sword. olabowale:Amen! I do not pray your son should become a thief. Pity those petty thieves that hunger have driven to the edge. was only giving an analogy. olabowale:Where the sharia system is very dumd is that it cannot curtail sins of the mind. An amputee can be a more dangerous criminal than the one who has all his organs intact. Your sharia is just a mirage. Its not effective. olabowale:Sorry sir! Jesus Himself is full of grace and truth and did not have to 'consult' before forgiving the poor woman. Moses' law could hav called for stoning, it was because God wantd his own dominion and authority established on earth and because he is the author of life, he decides whom to allow and whom to exterminate. Jesus however opened the way and took away th sins of the world and quelled God's anger. We are all now being looked at through Christ's love. olabowale:Oh! Allah more often than not refusd to show mercy to 'Infidels' olabowale:Please do not compare Jesus and MO. Won ki n se egbe rara! They are not mates you hear? Kep praying that peace will go and meet MO in his grave. Jesus on the other hand is the embdiment of peace Himself. Wake up! |
tbk and jerrymania, why are u guys so vulgar? Plase let peace reign supreme. We want intellectuals comments here not these derogs. Ok? Please sheat your swords. |
smile4kenn:u say wetin? u 4 remember ur calling before u begin misyearn ![]() |
Carlosein:Carlos, You Mary-worshipper Call on the name of Jesus alone and you shall be saved. ![]() |
Just pray for them that God will preerve their livs to see your success in life. cheers! |
davidylan:At least everyday we see and perform miracles in the name of Jesus. Someone, who frequently usd the name of Jesus to do exploits even tried to using allah in place of Jesus Christ. You know what ? It didnt work! Very dead god indeed |
Carlosein:That means you do not take time to read through people's rejoinders. I stated my church therein but what has that got to do with you? Will you detail men to come and do some uncover for sometime and give you feedbacks? ![]() |
lawyer:lawyer. you don block yaradua for club before? ![]() |
olabowale:The boldened: On what? Jesus said and did everything! What exactly do you want? olabowale:Fine! Paul is a torn in your side. Good for you. You can do nothing about it but to help you, post one thing that Paul said that you think contradicts the tachings and the sayings of Christ. If there is any, then I will stop countering your arguments immediately and reduce the security alert level I have placed on Moslems. To however show your forgtfullness, why do you then reference the hadiths knowing fully well that all the sayings are not of Mohammad? You can see how inconsistent you are. olabowale:Tell me how you think the followers of Jesus of the quran (not the bible this time) should behave. I want to know. What should they be called also? |
olabowale:Riches do not guaranty wisdom. Get Gd's wisdom, its a better defence than ola ![]() olabowale:That was his mission on arth. To die. He felt pains because he was human as well. May god open your eyes to see. olabowale:Whats the big stick for? FYI, Allah is dead but lives in the consciouness of muslims. Allah cannot do a single miracle! not one is recorded in the quran! Very dead god. Call on the name of Jesus and see what it can do for you. ![]() |
olabowale:Sorry my guy. I am deeply sorry to disappoint you. Oh! Your reasoning is that any religion where there is no jungle justice on day-to-day issues of life is not a true religion. Mohammad must have vomitted you from his belly cos you are probablty as violent as he was. Now I'm afraid, you might be the one to call for the hads of nairalanders who oppose Islam! ![]() Your allah may allow jungle justice (Sharia), our God does not. They brought a woman caught in the act of adultery to Jesus for sentencing. What did he do, he asked them who amongst you without a sin should cast the first stone. They all withdrew one after the other from first to the last. None could! Jesus did not condemn her. He delivered her! What a great grace! Unmatched in history! He came to set free! Not to condemn and put in bondage. He came for love not hate. Men got their dead brought back to life. Not the other way round. He preached love and repentance from evil and sin. What is the hope of a sinner in Islam? Nothing but death, punishment! What evil religion is that? You steal and they amputate your arm - in this 21st Century? Cant you just reason for once and agree that your religion belongs to the cave men and not the modern man? Cant you see that your religion is so uncivilised. We preach peace, love to the sinner, you preach death and condemnation. May be when your son steals and they amputate his arm or leg then you will feel it! Our Jesus is LOVE. God is LOVE! He Loves! Let that sink into your spirit. He loves you too! With all the amputees you have in the north of Nigeria, how has that reduced iniquity or crime? Cant you se you are just deceiving yourselves and punishing the poor who have no connections to stop that evil they call sharia? Ola, please dont tell me you are that barbaric. Islam and Sharia should just be annihilated. The time of their destruction shall soon come. God will do this in His time. For sinners, if that is your concern, Christ said, let the two of them grow together until the time of harvest when he shall separate the what from the shaft. You are not that patient are you? |
Well, i dont know about his attention-winng probabilitites but I sure know about Marian worship in the catholic church either inferior of superior. Keep on worshipping an ordinary woman who was sinful during her times on earth. |
olabowale:Elder Ola, You are a sorry case. I don't just know how to describe you. ah! All these your whinings: catholic is the mother of pro, , I think you should take time out to modify your reasonability because often times you have demonstrated that you can't deal with issues 'to ba le ju eko lo' - issues that ar stronger than pap ![]() Catholcism, through the inquisition ruled in many nations as they try to foist on people, theocracy which is a religious form of government like we have in the Vatican City today. They still believe they will spread this anyway and are working assiduosly to make it a reality once again. They have not thrown away the age-long dream. 'Protetanism' had to come alive because many saw the writing on the wall and the greed of the papacy as well as the obvious negation of the teachings of the Christ as laid out in the scriptures. They broke away and doctored their tachings in accordance with the teachngs of Christ as found in the Holy Bible which your Quran revers! Now they (protestants) have their set of rules or tenets and dogmas which flows from the scriptures directly and contradicts all known heresies of the RCC. So where does your assertions of like mother like daughter come from? May be a simple analogy would straighten you up! You give birth to a son and by default he is a muslim because the parents are. Now the son grows up and discovers the truth in Christ and relinquishes Islam and continues in Christinaity. When taking a roll call of muslims, do you count him because his parents are muslims? NO! He has defected and now practices christianity. He no longer faces the east to pray, he is no longer under compulsion to observe his five times prayer, he no longer sees flies in his cup nither does he expect women, wine and other vices in his afterlife. In order words, he is no longer a muslim. He was! But not anymore. Protestants have always and will always negate Catholicism's herecies. So drop that you mother-daughter trauma in the hole in the kaaba! Wake up to reality! Now look at you trying to win soul for dead Mohammad! What is the attraction to Islam now? No frills, no thrills, just blank religion only replete with racism, murder and immorality. Ta! What an invitation! |
Horus:HO-R-US, Are you afraid the world is coming to an end? You of all people. |
