*All the definitions I will be using to express this topic is not of my own but ones that I gathered from some Nigerian Christians according to their interpretation and understanding of dreams in relation to their faith.*

Since there is a general knowledge of the “immaculate conception” I’ll first expand on what I hoped to convey by illustrating what is considered (by some people) to be a relationship between the "spirit realm" and dreams.
Dreams are considered as an extension of our reality but operating in the spirit, according to some people. For the sake of this topic I will abide by this definition.

Amongst Nigerian Christians I’ve heard terms such as “spirit husbands” and “spirit wives” – indicating a s[i]e[/i]xu[i]a[/i]l partner in a dream. To some this is considered detrimental and demonic as it may interfere or haunt future/current matrimonial homes and one’s spiritual life.
If a pregnancy or child occurred in the dream, the proclaimed "spiritual spouse" is most likely responsible for the conception. This is said to be bad news.

I illustrated all this because of what the “immaculate conception” entailed.

I know that the two circumstances are different but I found it interesting to discuss the details surrounding the "virgin birth" in relation to a pairing in the “sprit realm” aka dream.

A spirit or more specifically the Holy Spirit was said to be responsible for “Virgin” Mary’s pregnancy and it was thus seen as a miracle.

In the dream - some accord this dimension a spiritual status - when the protagonist impregnates or becomes pregnant with what is termed as a “spiritual spouse” that is seen as a bondage according to some Christian circles.

Not all spirits are of the same nature but in terms of a species (for lack of a better word) they belong in the same category.
So I find it interesting whilst "Virgin" Mary’s pregnancy in itself is accorded much special status partly due to who was responsible for her pregnancy yet in another context when a pregnancy occurs by means of a spiritual associate in a dream it is seen as a vice.

[Q]: Why are there supposed consequences for having conceived with a "spirit" character given the background of "Virgin" Mary’s pregnancy?

Thus are Muslims displeased with the many illustrations of Jesus?

Are they more likely to be cross of a depiction of Mohammed?

Interesting. Thanks.

jamace: I'm very inquisitive.

Ditto

afrodiva: Xtianity is by faith, while certain aspects are logical to the carnal mind of man, some things are illogical. The Bible says without faith no man can please God, therefore if you want everything to be logical you cannot be a Christian. A very good example being the virgin birth. Its actually illogical to the carnal mind.its only through spiritual enlightenment that a person can grasp that concept. In science we know energy exsists in various forms e.g light, sound, mechanical etc we see the manifestation but we don't actually see energy .microscopic organism exist but it was only when microscopes were invented that we could see them and this led to a lot of breakthrough in diagnosing and treating various diseases in the medical field.

If Islam/Hinduism etc had been the religions to testify of a “virgin birth” would those on the other fence (namely Christians) have simply accepted such declaration as “faith”?...I ask because faith only seems to be a convenient bridge when it’s concerning the “illogical” things present in an individual's own (and not another’s) belief system.

Bottom line simply because our carnal senses can't grasp a concept doesn't mean its invalid.there are so many examples of things our five senses don't appreciate but do exist as evidenced by their manifestations.

Agreed.

Numb.

I find it quite ironic that whilst the holy spirit is credited as being responsible for Mary’s “virgin” pregnancy...if one is carrying a pregnancy/child in a dream (supposedly the spirit world) it is said to have satanic consequences of course this is according to the Naija Christians I know.
Maybe I’m conflating issues sha.

Anyway does that make Jesus a hybrid?

Tomorrow

Boxing.

I'm feeling ...Giwa kwanu?

@OP ask him to provide english subtitles for the last sentence ....oh and ask him who did he support in the UEFA champions league final?

Thanks jamace

Nice.

Do you have an English translation of the lyrics?

P.S. I’m a fan of the Wodaabe hairstyles

Martian: And if you really want a pyramid, you can go to Vegas and gamble inside one. It beats the one in Egypt that's meant for the burial of some egomaniacal pharoah.

Lol alternatively one can go to Paris and visit the Louvre museum.

Thanks tbaba.

Do Muslims also forbid illustrating the other prophets besides Mohammed?

Hey Hey bible basher * "heathen" way of saying hi*

Jenwitemi: If the burning is happening in the spiritual form, how will the pain be felt since spirits do not possess tactile sensors to feel anything, never mind unbearable pain of burning.

Interesting point...perhaps “hellfire” is just a metaphor i.e. if one lost everything and everyone they loved they may accord that a state of being in hell (at least that was one out of many definitions of this supposed hell that was offered to me by an orthodox)

Just curious do you reckon spirits possess sentiments? i.e. joy/sorrow etc Or would they just exhibit one state of emotion?

Jenwitemi: A small sketch:

The christian God is twisting the arm of one of his beloved creation, a man.

BIBLE GOD: Love me!!

MAN; Aaaaaaargh!!! (in excruciating pain)

BIBLE GOD: Love me, bi-tch!!! (twisting the poor man's arm even more)

MAN: Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!! You are hurting me!!!

BIBLE GOD: What? You think that hurts?! How about some FIRE?!

Lol..."he" should have used reverse psychology.

I think there is a propaganda when it comes to the preaching of hell and that may have affected the image of the biblical god.
