It depends what you call "secular" Music.

In the first place, when Muslims speak of using "logic", I find that it is often the case that your own logic fails you.

Christian faith is far beyound logic. Ihope you will add this toyour knowledge.
I choose to respond only to this part of your opening because I found out that you never bother to do your Findings on this issue I posted. You were throwing back some of my concern back to me I think you'll post to express your view onmy last posting. Honour your father and your mother. and have you asked if your Chief Immam will subscribe to you taking a widow about your mother age for wife?

Hi David,

i noticed that no one has chosen to reply yet all the 'controversial' and vain arguments are full of equally vain replies. Not to worry, many are called but few are chosen. My quiet times with God are always beautiful, the only problem is that they are not regular. This is something I'm still praying for and trying to improve. Usually I talk to God without all the flowery words we hear from congregations today. If I'm feeling low, then i say it straight and somehow, with music playing in the background, i get into worship and gradually focus on the Person of God and less on what's going on with me. Then I actually sense His love enveloping me and then suddenly, absolutely everything is ok. I've found that it has nothing to do with how energetic your prayer is (note to all those 'prayer warriors'!). Sometimes I hardly speak, though I cry and it can be quite embarrassing to see. I don't like it happening in a public place. Sometimes it's just enough to sit quietly and listen. Right now I'm praying to hear Him more clearly above the noise of this world. I'd give anything to just be 100% in His presence, even if it means I have to leave this world. This world sucks anyway.

tuneh

Good to hear above all that you are actually maintaining your relationship with God. Truely Many are Called but few are Chosen. I pray that among the few we shall not be found wanting In Jesus Name.

My quiet time with God is the most beautiful time I ever noticed.

How can he be both at the same time? How can he be God and the Son of God at the same time? Or did he father himself?

To get answer to this question will be when you are in Holy Spirit. Canal Man cannot understand this. So let me Invite you to be Born again first.

As to the Moral issue here. Among the Commandment of God, "Honour your Father and Mother" To a Morally Cultured b person your Mother friend is also your Mother. Anyone that is capable of giving birht to you should also be regarded as your Mother. If you contest this ask an Imam that have deep knowledge of this fact about God Command. Tell a Cheif Immam that you as a young Man would like to Marry a 60 year widow in your mosque and hear his opinion.

And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

From time to time this topic is discussed in church and as usual some are of the view that its safer to be comfortable in life than to be rich. As a christian do you believe that:

1. , your life would be more spiritual if you were rich?

2. , God wants you to be rich personally (I ask from a sense of your having a personal conviction)

3, there is a difference in what Christ said in Matthew 19:24 and what John said in 3 John 2 which says: 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

"Love of Money is the root of all evil" Jesus is not objecting to Chrisitians getting wealth. He is telling us to beware of the place of our Wealth in pour heart. Why do we call Abraham Father of Faith? He never placed anything above his God. God said go sacrifice your only son Abram Made attempt. But this Rich man in question here did not see it as something reasonable.

The same thing applies to so many Rich people today. They keep only the aspect they feel is useful to them.

In the quote above Jesus did not say it is Impossible for a Rich man to enter the Kingdom of God, but He said it is Easier for one than the other. If you can resolve that All you have belong to God, you could make heaven as a rich man.

I learnt that you registered 8th month ago but have not been reading your post .

Please brother, you need to be a muslim.

I think you should respond to issues.

The Point here is if it is morally right for a Man of God to Marry an Old woman? is that different from "Sugar Mummyism" If it were to be a Pastor that we are talking here you all will never see it this way. However, the truth must be told. Thank God our Lord Jesus Christ is truely God (Emmanuel). I will enjoin all you people to open your heart to knowledge and not to be on defense of what was clearly writen in your book.

I have read your quaran in English version. But not the arabic version. This stories were not that different. Get the issue is this different form Sugar mummy issue. How will Islam aspire to correct this if ,

@dafidixone. Man, You need to read My new Post and let me know what you think about that,proof me wrong and justify the fact that christian are not idol worshippers

I have read through that and because there is nothing to reply in such an article that is posted out of cheer sentiment. I respond to postings from intelligent personalty. Sorrry I if I sound rude Sir, just want you to do more work before you respond to issue. I want you to read Stranger response to this posting and appreciate knowledgable people talking.

Love2talk? talk reasonably not to just talk for talking sake.

Be more articulate in your points then we can respond to your posting.

@dafidixone.Mr. AKORIBURUKUDE or what is your name,if i were you,i will deregister my Acc with Nairaland and wont even visit this forum again,i can imagine an 18 years old Girl beating a 27 years old ass like you hands now,what a big shme LOL.you start a topic and you can't defend and finish it.You have a lots of problems in your life which are yarning for solution,Leave my Beloved Muhammad alone and get a life, You unemployed ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May God deliver all the Captive Souls. In Jesus name I pray.

Jesus said Come to me all you that labour and are heavy laden. He Jesus will give you rest.

I'm sure you weren't attacking me personally

I have never known you, so attacking you personally is out of the issue. After all you are only trying to express your opinion on this posting. I hope you are not taking it personal?

However, I could read from the lines of yours that you have taking this matter to accademic debate. I am not in anyway trying to argue and you will see I only try as much as possible to respond to aspect of this conversations I yhink may lead to a logical conclusion. It may interest you to know that Culture and religion at some point will have to intersect. This is one of the indicator to discern between Voice of God and Voice of Man or devil. I feel it is unculture if your Mum should go and Marry a boy mate of yours (Sincerely how will you feel about it).

Explain the immoral aspect of THIS marriage please.

For me, Muhammad (SAW) is my role model; he's the perfect man. When I get married, it will be based on how similar the guy's character is to that of the Prophet's. When I have kids, I want my children to be just like him. Right now, I want to be like him. I want my brother to be like him. Why? Because he is THE BEST OF CREATION, the best of mankind, a mercy to the world.
And I love him.

Never put a Curse on your Kidz. I am sure your Children may be more knowledgable than you. You choose to leave like him let your children decide their own role model.

I am sure no right thinking youth will go accepting proposal for marriage with someone almost two times older,

Baa mi

@stranger,  Don't you think a high moral standard will compliment our religious beleive.  I don't know if you have kids already.  Will you pray for your Children to have a marital life of like of Muhammed?

Never follow leaders blindly.  There are leaders and there are leaders.

So?? I fail to follow your logic. What's so shocking about that?
She liked him for his honesty, respectability, wisdom and all that so she proposed to him and he accepted. You will find that she initially employed him to carry out some of her business deals in Syria; he made such a profitable deal for her that she was impressed by his intelligence. SHE was the one who proposed to him.

How is it like the sugar-mummy phenomenon? Its not like they had premarital sex or anything? Abi you believe that age is a barrier to love? Especially when it isn't such a big difference? What's 15 years when 80-year-olds dey marry 23-year-olds?

Besides why is it ok for a 40-year-old man to marry a 25-year-old woman but the reverse is frowned upon? That's what I call SEXISM!!! Pure double-standards! I think you're being blinded by the Nigerian culture in which the man is expected to be older, get rid of those cultural shackles and open your mind! Look at the States, the actors and actresses (all of them as rich as the other) are marrying/dating people of different ages! I can't remember who Justin Timberlake was going out with but, yo, she was way older than him! You don't get people going "ooooh, sugar-mummy", do you?

You too can do the same?

I am sure you have assummed that all women has HIV/AIDS. Please may your heart be renewed.

No my man I only though that 365 may increase your chances of having HIV/AIDS. When you compare the sexual history of the women in question.

Blessed be the name of the Lord God.

I have Jesus and you would have read his story in the Quran which shows that he is accepted by Muslims

I am happy for you that you  have Jesus, it may interest you that havim Him is life.  I pray this Jesus you know will send His Holy Spirit to Guide and Direct you all the time.

[quoteWho is that one please and how do I please accept Jesus and provide proof on that][quote][/quote]Now understand this facts:

1. Be sure God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"

The problem is that


2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.

The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,


3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.

4. If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.  Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life.  I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."

If you sincerely follow this process I welcome you into Christ Family.  It is as simple as that.

Now look for a Bible believing Church and worship and Join their Discipleship class and be Baptised.

Shallom!

Dude asked a simple question, instead of getting an answer, HE GOT MOHAMMED VS JESUS PART 547632786448O9788TH56!!!!!!

Like I always say, BLACK MUSLIMS AND BLACK CHRISTIANS ARE A DELUSIONAL BUNCH

Logged

There are Prophet then. As many as refused to accept the word of God, they have their part in the
lake of fire. You may be thinking of the likes of David and their wives e.t.c. They might not go to hell because at that time they aspired to show themselves approved.

The Bible made us to know that Jeusu was the word that was in the begining. So the word is already with them. The time of Jesus is known as the time of grace Jesus came in appearance of Man to provide detail explanation of what God want from man.

SO as many as beleive this word He gave the power to become the son of God.

Finally, I will suggest you leave the dead to bury themselves. Fight for oyurselve, your Soul must not go to hell. If you have accept this fact, I congratulate you. Stay in Him(Jesus). But if you have not Invite him at this momment into your life.

God bless you as you take this decision.

to sleep with 365 women in 2008.

= HIV/AIDS

God will create in you a new heart.

dear dafidxone,
don't you ever get tired? Muhammad is long dead and gone, so why not let him be?

Shallom!

Can you please provide us further explanation from the Quran?

Quit your falsehood abi na deception that has nothing to offer but accept Islam before its too late.

Still have a lovely day.

You are the Muslim you should read to acquire more knowledge about what you read. Do not harden your heart to the truth. Ignorance will not be an excuse if you are not in Christ before the Judgement in the hereafter.

It will be so painful to see people like you in Hell. Heaven is real Hell is real. Go with the one who know the way.

Peace

Rainbow is not just a combination of colours, but a also a sign of God's convenant of Rememberance. God will remember you for good and add colour to your life this year and in the years ahead. In Jesus Mighty name I pray.

Quiet time could refer to those precious moments after the kids are in bed, but for Christians, a quiet time is more than that. Quiet time, or devotion time, refers to our daily appointment with God, when we shut out as much outside interference as possible. During our quiet time, we may sing praise songs, pray, read Scripture or daily devotions, meditate on God's Word, or simply be still and listen. Making that appointment is one thing; keeping it is something else entirely!

Share yours with us. What you do right and What you pray God to help you improve. Shallom!

I think the Muslim in house should see this opportunity to learn and get the fact about what you are worshiping. The question of quoting Salman does not arise here all you need to examine here is this verse truly writing in the Quran, if yes what is the implication of this statement. If you read further in that verse of the Quaran, Mohammed also acknowledge it was a mistake to have done that.

One Question; Have you ever read the Quran or any book on Islamic history?
You allege that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) compromised with the Quraish because his followers were being persecuted and had to go to Abyssinia. Lets assume that was the case. So what happens when he compromises? The Quraish will be happy and the muslims will be safe, right? Did such a thing happen? Well, NO, because the Prophet (SAW) did no such thing! There was no compromise! In fact, the situation worsened until the Prophet (SAW) had to migrate from Makkah to Madinah. THAT was what happened.

If you read a comprehensive Islamic history textbook, you will read about the time when the prominent chiefs of the Quraish went to the Prophet (SAW) imploring him to compromise with them, offering him their wealth, offering him the leadership of the Quraishi community just so that he could change his message. What was his response? He told them that even if they offered him the sum and the moon, he would never agree to their requests!
Besides, read the Qur'an, everywhere, it re-iterates that there is only ONE GOD, where is info about the three godesses hiding??

"Say: He is Allah, the One, "[Qur'an 112:1]

I recommend you watch the movie called "The Message" by Anthony Quinn. Its basically about the early history of islam and was done by a Christian! Provides an un-biased narration.

Are this materials more supperior than the Quaran?
