Northerners or Muslims?

You don't have a grasp of what you are discussing.
Try to go from one step to the next.
How can you discuss language when you don't even know the language it was written in?

Maynman:
I meant the Greek language, that’s why I said “lesous”

Where did you get the bolded from?

Maynman:
If the New Testament was written in Hebrew, the name of “Jesus” would have been “lesous” and it will mean “Joshua”. Jesus is a Latin name, that’s the influence of Roman Catholic.

Wikipedia doesn’t care about your feelings, they are reporting it as it is.
This is just language.

Go and read your screenshot...carefully read the first line.

However, I don't need Wikipedia to know something as basic as
The Old testament written in Hebrew(Aramaic) and New testament written in Greek.
So I don't understand the relevance of your questions.

In case you don't understand what I've written,

1.Wikipedia is not an authority
2.The Hebrew word for Jesus is Joshua ( which is a short form of Jehoshua)

Maynman:
Do jews speak “English”?
It’s derived from Latin, can’t you read?

Send me your link showing the origin of the name.

So na Wikipedia you dey read?
And your Wikipedia even told you Jesus is English.
Imagine.

Maynman:
Jesus is a Latin name.

Jesus is Greek...the Jewish name is Jehoshua(Yehoshua) or Joshua for short.

Maynman:
Ignorance is not bliss, why not look it up?
Is “Jesus” a Jew name?
Why is a Jew man bearing Latin name?
Christ is from christus, Greek and it’s a title not a name!

This is a public forum.Why advertise your ignorance
Jesus is Latin and Christ Greek?
The way una dey use muscle dey misyarn is mindboggling

Maynman:
Jesus is a Latin word, and Christ is a Greek word, is your “jesus” not a jew??
smells like Roman Catholic has one or 2 to do with it.

I get your point but understand that
1.Christians aren't and won't be many. What you have are many churchgoers.
2. The power of Christians is dying to live. The flesh dies for you to effectively follow.
3.Christian aren't retaliatory but are dogged in their beliefs.The more you kill them, the tougher they become.
4.The gospel is one strong weapon the church has neglected and unfortunately going the route of politics.

Summary, you don't need a community of Christians for physical fight but to sharpen ourselves.

There are Christians in Saudi Arabia and in different parts of the world who are on mission.Ne'er forget every Christian is an ambassador...What you need is God's presence not filling a community.
Their method isn't new, terrorizing and persecuting Christians has always been.
Fear is NOT allowed bro...

Finally,
If the Lord does not watch over a city....

I am sorry if I dont share the same views that you have.

Jesus Christ had a reason for moving with the twelve disciples. Please dont get me wrong by thinking I meant these were their primary assignments with Christ. They all had different functions, some were with the purse like Judas, some were for errands like James, Peter and Andrew, some were for defense like Peter who drew his sword in John 18:10.

What I m actually saying is that we as Christians should see this as a call to bond more with each other than live in isolation.

These people only have power in their Numbers... And it is for a reason, the more of like minds in any location, the better it is to defend. Even fishes understand this simple logic. Sardines in the oceans always move in schools...

It makes it hard for bigger fishes to take them easily.

No offence... But do you doubt your sanity?Possibly you may not be sure what it means to be mentally stable but one way is what you described in your last post about people becoming irascible at what should be subjective and going as far as not just killing but burning the corpse to prove a point. Do you need to be a psychiatrist to know something is wrong with whoever behaves that way?

Back to having mutual respect. People are governed by common laws to set boundaries NOT what you deem is right.That'd would be fine if you live alone but if you respect the other fellow,you'd commit yourself to a common law.

Anything short of this invites anarchy.No sane person should encourage the barbaric act displayed in Sokoto.

wis3:
How then do we know who's deranged and who isn't? Not to sound offensive but even you might not be completely sound. You can't help that people behave the way they do and you can't change it either. You just go with the flow and avoid certain things when it's necessary.

I was thinking Kaduna would be the launchpad but it seems these unrepentant folks want to exploit the situation.

That's if it's true

As much as I agree with not blaming a deranged fellow. We can't allow derange people set the tone for how mentally stable folks behave.The madness must be cured otherwise we learn their ways.

wis3:
That's what makes us individually different. They might not necessarily see it the way you do . Some people act on impulse, some on emotion. Some are even influenced by certain substances around them which makes them behave in a certain why. You wouldn't blame a deranged person for acting like a deranged person now would you? As much as we can we should try not to get on each other's bad sides. Things are bad enough as it already is

We know those who play the victim... So that's out of the question mhan.

Respecting each other's should have made the one offended to report to an arbiter and not taking the law into their hands.
Except you have a different meaning to mutual respect

wis3:
Quit play victim. All I'm saying is you we should respect each other's views.

You are still begging the question.
So i don't have the right to my belief
but you do? How logical?

Well, the issue is that you feel Muslims can't be ruined if others decide to react the way they do.But that's one big delusion.
Christians aren't weak and can't be cowed by these puerile threats.

wis3:
We should learn to watch our utterances. If your reasoning aggravates or doesn't suit the interest of others. You keep it within.

Watch as bigots will show themselves on this thread.

So why should I be judged by your reasoning and you not subject to mine?
Why kill a person for what's subjective?
Is that in itself not irrational and illogical?

wis3:
What's irrational to you they might find logical. That's why we are different. We should respect each other's opinions and views. And yes. I speak Hausa.

How did they know he is from Niger republic?

If he is from Niger republic, okay arrest the ones in Sokoto protesting nonsense

So he has time for this phantom ambition when his state is burning. Even the curfew seems to be ineffective.


https://www.nairaland.com/7127115/sokoto-riots-mob-sets-fire

What useless evidence? Do you speak Hausa? Or you have issue with the meaning of blasphemy?
Keep defending wickedness yet expecting people to excuse Islam.

Imagine, the logic of thinking irrational people can't burn a church.

wis3:
alleged even with the evidence so glaring? Believe you choose to believe

Until I read that, what is reported is not alien to those who can kill a fellow student for alleged blasphemy, attack Atiku for condemning their barbaric act, demand for the release of the arrested killers, destroy shops of non-muslims. etc

I won't be surprised if they do worse

wis3:
Kukah himself has come out to debunk these as false. Rather than make do your findings you'd swallow everything and you're told hookline and sinker.

Who be all these ones campaigning after election?

Why are they afraid to say Muslims attack Kukah's church?

Wetin concern thugs wey no get time for religion.

They can as well follow Deborah's corpse to Niger state and continue beating it.

A true Christian doesn't fear death.What's important is living right.All these nonsense is to create fear but we won't adjust to the Koran, we take our bearings from the Truth, God's Word.

The Truth is, when they discover people aren't afraid to die, they'd adjust.

We know them and their antics.

ihustler:
This is a CLARION CALL to every Christian anywhere in the world to always bound and not be isolated in any way if they want to fulfill their time on earth.

Hausas and Fulani Muslims or not always locate themselves and never stray too far from the group.

That's why it is so hard to wage any offensive against them.

When they say Islam breeds terrorists, people who don't like the truth will be absolving them.

Na una kill person, na una still dey vex...

Thugs abi Muslim Youths?

Who doesn't know that it's impossible to talk about the religion of "peace" without talking about the three major pillars
-lies, terror and captivity.

Yet they are contesting against him?And who told you others aren't smarter than him?
I don't support people abusing people because of ill health BUT Tinubu should rest.If it's about brain, many of those crooked folks in APC are not inferior.
Except he is talking about another type of brain.

Tareq1105:
Do you have his brain?

Can you compare your IQ with Tinubu own?

Those that worked with him for 8 yrs as Gov in Lagos can attest to his thinking faculty.

When they want Christians in the South West to vote for them, they start deceiving outsiders that All Yorubas are one.
You'll never know their Muslim names until election period.

If religion doesn't matter, why is it not enough to print Bola Tinubu, Babatunde Fashola etc on posters during election?

Before People overlooked it but it'd be foolish to allow one "Lai Mohammed" to deceive us.

One thing is clear, they supported the killing.
Those playing the ostrich are those who are saying Islam doesn't teach that

Ngige na serious clown.
You consulted with angels, archangels and God before buying the form But consulted with family and friends to withdraw...

Wia hin mention Osinbajo and Amaechi?

Tinubu has learnt a bitter lesson in the first week of Osinbajo's declaration... Not sure he wants to go that route again.

Oga, it's not different from Saudi Arabia.
What you saw is Islam.
They'd do the same tomorrow
