TenQ:I am seeking clarity about this as there are divergent views. Can you or can't you not explain convincingly? |
Kobojunkie:Interesting |
Kobojunkie:Do you often recover strength after a rest or subdue a feeling of hunger after eating a meal? Do you have an inclination to go to sleep at some point? Those who wake up feeling exhausted may seek and find reasons why this is. Could be blood sugar anomalies, kidney problems or some ailment. |
TenQ:Are these parts of scripture meaningless then? This description of the two witnesses bears a striking resemblance to the miracles performed by Elijah in the Old Testament. In 1 Kings 17, Elijah proclaimed that there would be no rain in the land, and in 1 Kings 18, he called down fire from heaven to consume a sacrifice. The appearance of Elijah alongside Moses at the transfiguration of Jesus is another indicator of Elijah's significance in the end times. In Matthew 17:3-4, it says, "Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, 'Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.'" Elijah did not experience physical death but was taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot (2 Kings 2:11) supports the notion that he is destined to return as one of the two witnesses in Revelation. The idea that Elijah did not die but was taken directly to heaven leaves the possibility open for him to return in the future as one of the witnesses. Although his apparent return as new born John the Baptist or a John the Baptist of kindred spirit adds on some uncertainty. |
Kobojunkie:When you feel tired and have a rest you often feel refreshed isn't it? How is this established? |
SIRTee15:Thank you SirTee15. Outside Jesus pointing towards this it was not obvious as in the case of Elisha. 2 Kings 2:15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. In anycase how do we understand that a kindred spirit of Elijah and not Elijah himself was expected? Also in Revelations 11:3-12, Elijah is said to be one of the two. How is this so? |
TenQ:Is Elijah of the two spoken in Revelations? |
Well all time is bound by obviously stated and unstated contracts or law. Your point is noted. Kobojunkie: |
MaxInDHouse:So many things are referred to as god by different people. How do you pronounce God differently from god? What is godliness or is it Godliness? |
Kobojunkie:You definitely know there is the connection as there are prophesies from the old testament about things in the new testament. Reference to the laws and Torah of Moses too. Then what use is the the Transfiguration if the books and times are not related? |
FRANCISTOWN:Thank you for your responses. I hope to get better clarity soon. More so that Elijah is also prophesied to come again at the end of the world. In the book of Revelation, the two witnesses are described . Revelation 11:3–12 is a description of two individuals who will help accomplish God’s work during the tribulation: “I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. Is it that the text is improperly understood? If Elijah is to be one of these two, conclusively he has physically died as John the Baptist who was beheaded? Then in Malachi it is not stated explicitly that a kindred spirit will come before Jesus. |
There appears some verses in the Bible that say reincarnation doesn't occur. Hebrews 9:27 - "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment Yet Jesus is said to say Elijah had come but wasn't recognised. Matthew 11:10-14. Where was Elijah said to have come? Then he is also said to come again at the end of the world. Attn: Fxmasterz,SirTee15,Malcom1x,Maximdhouse,Mightysparrow,MrPrevailer,Tenq and all who can shed light and knowledge about this. |
malcom1X:Can you be consistent? You write Sahir Buhari and share a picture alleging a statement of Ayatollahi Khomeini without establishing a link |
malcom1X:For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Matthew 12:40) Can you prove this? Or disprove: Jesus was in the belly of the earth for only one full day (Saturday) and two partial days (Friday afternoon and Sunday morning). This does not add up to three days and three nights |
malcom1X:It doesn't matter. Was Jesus Jewish or is there a tribe called Christian? Did Jesus nullify Jewish laws? |
malcom1X:Without going into the certainty or uncertainty on the age of marriage consumation have you considered what your Jewish brethren say in the Thalmud? In the Jewish tradition, betrothal and marriage are sacred and highly valued institutions. The concept of the minimum age for marriage is found in the Talmud, which is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism. In the Talmud, it is stated that the minimum age for a girl to be married is three years old and one day. This is based on a passage from the Talmud that states, "A girl of the age of three years and one day may be betrothed by intercourse" (Niddah 5:4). This mishnah teaches that in a legal sense, sexual relations with a girl over the age of three counts as sexual relations. |

As he was dying in 1112, Tancred made Pons, Count of Tripoli, promise to marry her; Pons and Cecile were married later that year, when she was 14/15 and he was 13/14. Eleanor de Bohun (aged about 9/10) was married to Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester (aged about 20/21), in 1376. Elizabeth the Cuman (aged 8/9) was married to the future Stephen V of Hungary in 1253. |
malcom1X:And the almighty is the greatest. |
malcom1X:Perharps a holistic look into history and ages of girls when married will be helpful even if scholars don't universally agree on the age of Aisha at marriage. The difference in age with her sister Asma, her being born before Hijra, her listing amongst the first to accept Islam. There is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding Aisha's age at the time of her marriage. Some narrations suggest she was around 9 years old, while others propose she was older. It is important to note that the concept of age and maturity varied in different societies and historical contexts. You also mention the wives Prophet Muhammad married. How many of these wives were not widows? Where is the mention of blasphemy? Anyway the Banu Qurayzah battle resulted from their breach of peace treaty. The Qurayza, a tribe who lived in Medina alongside the Muslims, had broken their treaty of non-hostility with the Muslims at the height of the Battle of the Trench, and intended to attack them from within, but before they could, the siege on Madina suddenly ended, leaving the Qurayza alone and caught red-handed. They quickly fortified themselves, and finally surrendered after a 25-day siege of their fort. Some of the Qurayza and their families had broken ranks with their tribe early on and left to seek protection from the Muslims, and they were granted it; others were afforded amnesty through the intercession of some Muslims, due to some good deed they had done in the past. The rest, even though those who now regretted and disagreed with the treason, chose to be judged with those guilty out of tribal loyalties. |
advocatejare:Indeed Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him However was the Quran revealed as a book or it was a recitation over 23 years? Daughter in law or foster daughter in law? Where is the blood relation? Uthman r.a also burnt memories? Evolution of written arabic to aid non arabians is your problem? Do you understand Hebrew language? The original Roman manuscripts on which most bibles are translated wasn't the language of Jesus or even Hebrew or any other Israelite language. Who makes Greek the benchmark? The New Testament, which comprises the second half of the Christian Bible, was originally written in Greek. The Septuagint is mainly a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. How much was lost in translation or outrightly fabricated? Fatiha was revealed. All of the Quran is revelation and this puts it way above the hadith and sirah which are books of men. It is not a 'holy spirit' inspired book but a direct revelation. Until you are able to bring a truly sensible question I no longer will waste my time with you |
malcom1X:I don't know however; Allah in the Quran says, “And those who guard their chastity except with their wives or those [bondwomen] in their possession, for them, they are free from blame, but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors.” [Quran, 70:29-31] Q70:29. And those who guard their chastity. 30. Except from their spouses or those living under their control, for then they are free of blame. Mating with animals is definitely oppresion |
malcom1X:It is crucial to understand that terrorism is not synonymous with any particular religion. The very definition of terrorism is rooted in the use of violence and intimidation for political, ideological, or religious purposes. This means that individuals from any religious background, or even those who claim no religious affiliation, have the potential to commit acts of terrorism. The UN's Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) has made it clear that terrorism is a complex issue with various root causes, including political, economic, and social factors. Therefore, to single out a particular religion as the sole cause of terrorism is not only deceitful, but also an oversimplification of a multifaceted issue. One of the most common examples of deceit in linking terrorism to religion is the association of Islam with terrorism. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Muslims all over the world were unfairly and unjustly targeted and discriminated against. Despite the fact that the vast majority of Muslims vehemently condemn terrorism, the deceptive narrative linking Islam to terrorism has persisted. This has led to increased Islamophobia, hate crimes, and a deepening of the divide between Muslims and non-Muslims. This demonstrates how the deceitful linking of terrorism to religion not only perpetuates stereotypes, but also has real and damaging consequences for innocent individuals. Both al Qaeda and ISIS have carried out attacks against Muslim and non-Muslim civilians. Don't fall for the deceit. This is far from religious. |

advocatejare:How many complete copies of the Mushaf existed in the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w? Anyway did this your Bible exist and was certified by your biblical Jesus in his time with you? None so you cannot guarantee it's authentic! The writing of the Quran in different places and existence of many who committed it to memory surely validates it unlike your books written by many who never met your Jesus. See your logic? What does your Bible tell you about adultery? You stupidly act as if Muhammad pbuh prescribed something new? Leviticus 20:10-16 Punishments for Sexual Immorality 10 “If a man commits adultery with the wife of[a] his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 If a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's unclothedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. 12 If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed perversion; their blood is upon them. 13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (The Pope recently met with LGBTQ and didn't condemn them, also Reformation Day: Protestant Christians Embrace LGBTQ Diversity; https://www.hrc.org/news/reformation-day-protestant-christians-embrace-lgbtq-diversity-500-years-aft 14 If a man takes a woman and her mother also, it is depravity; he and they shall be burned with fire, that there may be no depravity among you. 15 If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. 16 If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. No revelation like Fatiha. Ibn Abbas reported: While the Angel Gabriel was sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he heard a creaking noise above him. Gabriel raised his head and he said, “This is a door of heaven that has been opened today and it has never been opened before today.” Then an angel descended from it, and Gabriel said, “This angel descended to the earth today and he has never descended until today.” The angel greeted him with peace and he said, “Rejoice in two lights you have been given, which were not given to any prophet before you: the opening of the Book, Surat al-Fatihah, and the last verses of Surat al-Baqarah. You will never recite a letter from them but that you will be given” You carelessly say Taqiyya do you know the meaning and reason where it is used? Do you know the sole exception applies only to Salim? Which other adult males were breastfed? The majority of Muslim scholars agreed that it is only a particular concession concerning the nursing of Salim alone. They do not consider it a general ruling that applies to the whole Ummah. Suckle him and you would become unlawful for him, and (the dislike) which Abu Hudhayfa feels in his heart will disappear” hence she suckled him and it so happened (i.e. the dislike of Abu Hudhayfa disappeared)… She didn't breastfeed him in the sense of him seeing her unclothedness and putting his mouth to her bossom. She expressed into a utensil and it was just once tp establish kinship. Understand what you present. If you say so but we are not so stupid to believe an omnipotent God will become his creation to crucify himself to himself to salvage his creation. Of all the wonders God does will he have to do this to redeem his creation? Do you freeze your brain and intellect to become a Christian? |
The level of foolery of an Osiris/Horus worshipper is incomparable. Can a recitation be eaten? What is the meaning of Quran? Is this what Osiris tells you through Paul or his descendants? *Al-Fatihah is a prayer, a dialogue between the abd (slave) and his Rabb, the Creator of everything. advocatejare:Besides that verse of stoning or breastfeeding an adult is surely was not a part of the revealed Quran else many people will have remembered it. Can your wife or mother breastfeed you to satisfaction or can you breastfeed yourself to satisfaction if you are a woman? Keep hanging at straws and wondering about. First of all question the faith you follow thoroughly perharps you will see the truth despite it's mix up with fraud. |
This indeed is the false prophet Pauline Christendom has created. Yet bold enough to put it in your scripture to really put it in your face. |
Pathetic follower of a religion based on Greek and Roman myths. Trying to divert. Do see what you half quote to deceive yourself and enjoy your mistake advocatejare:Q4:69. Whoever obeys God and the Messenger—these are with those whom God has blessed—among the prophets, and the sincere, and the martyrs, and the upright. Excellent are those as companions. Which messenger is obeyed? Be quoting hadith like a slowpoke and lack understanding. Here is Quran 4:69 for you. 😎 advocatejare:You see how demented you are? Thr Ansari woman went to him who explained the meaning of her dream to her. Are you not getting confused? advocatejare:Yet this same Quran 15 says: 2. Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish they had been Muslims. 3. Leave them to eat, and enjoy, and be lulled by hope. They will find out. 4. We have never destroyed a town unless it had a set time. 5. No nation can bring its time forward, nor can they delay it. 6. And they said O you who received the message you are insane 7. Why do you not bring us the angels, if you are truthful?” 8. We do not send the angels down except with reason, and they will not be held back. 9. Surely We revealed the Message, and We will surely preserve it. Verse 6 you quoted is italicized as you try to cunningly pick just it without reading verse 2 and 9. Is this not how Paul rewrote a lot of the old testament into the New testament. Do you think you are dealing with who cannot read and you can bamboozle with your fiction? Get a life. On Quran 15:6, who are they that turned away other than the stubborn ungodly. Mr verse picker when you pick try to be a little honest and bring the context. Anyway keep enjoying. The idea of a transcendent and omnipotent deity taking on human form is inherently absurd. The very essence of God as an all-powerful and omniscient being is incompatible with the limitations of human existence. If God is truly omnipotent, then there is no need for him to take on a human form in order to achieve his goals. The very idea of God becoming man implies a limitation of his power, which directly contradicts traditional religious beliefs. |
advocatejare:Bukhari 7440 Narrated Anas The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The believers will be kept (waiting) on the Day of Resurrection so long that they will become worried and say, "Let us ask somebody to intercede far us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from our place. ....... Then they will go to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, the father of the people. Allah created you with His Own Hand and made you reside in His Paradise and ordered His angels to prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all things will you intercede for us with your Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours? Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' ......... They will go to Moses who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. He will mention his mistake he made, i.e., killing a person, and will say (to them), 'Go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His Apostle, and a soul created by Him and His Word.' (Be: And it was.) They will go to Jesus who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking but you'd better go to Muhammad the slave whose past and future sins have been forgiven by Allah.' So they will come to me, and I will ask my Lord's permission to enter His House and then I will be permitted. When I see Him I will fall down in prostration before Him, and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He will, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad, lift up your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted." .......... The narrator then recited the Verse:-- "It may be that your Lord will raise you to a Station of Praise and Glory.' (17.79) The narrator added: This is the Station of Praise and Glory which Allah has promised to your Prophet. advocatejare:Of your god becoming man to sacrifice himself to himself to redeem man? Oh please. How is this not like the story of Osiris in Egyptian mythology? Osiris, the god of the afterlife, was killed and dismembered by his brother Set. His body was then reassembled by his sister-wife Isis, and he was resurrected to become the god of the afterlife. Or is it Mithras, a Persian god who was said to have been born of a virgin, died on a cross, and then resurrected three days later? Or is it stories of Attis, Tammuz, and Dionysus, all of whom were said to have been born of a virgin, died a violent death, and then resurrected? Oh please The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold |

advocatejare:As expected your hypocrisy stinks to hell and many times round. So you now ignore your preference of hadith saying Muhammad pbuh will be in paradise and the one whose intercession will be accepted. Sura 5:9 teaches, "To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah promised forgiveness and a great reward Remember Muhammad pbuh is the best of examples Verily those who believe (in the oneness of Allaah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, shall have the Gardens of AI-Firdaus (Paradise) for their entertainment. (Q 18: 107). Whoever submits themselves to Allah and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. Q2:112 Anyway Muslims are not stupidly arrogant like you and the Devil ....So do not ˹falsely˺ elevate yourselves. He knows best who is ˹truly˺ righteous. Q53:32 Despicable liar. Your phoney Jesus was thoroughly brutalized and cursed to be hung on a pole/cross or whatever. So much so he himself said he was finished. his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God. You shall not defile your land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance. Deut 21:23 How wonderful this your god must be to become his creation, be maltreated and cursed in order to save you? Isn't this the height of stupidity and greatest show of incapacity? Wow how does it make sense to you? To cure a disease, you first infect yourself with it? If indeed everything is under his control why cant he just command it? Or is it your Jesus who lied to the thief that they will both be in Paradise together that night who deceives you. Did Jesus go to paradise the night of the crucifixion or the day after? The idea of a transcendent and omnipotent deity taking on human form is inherently absurd. The very essence of God as an all-powerful and omniscient being is incompatible with the limitations of human existence. If God is truly omnipotent, then there is no need for him to take on a human form in order to achieve his goals.

Prophet Muhammad did not equate himself to the almighty or get erroneously equated by his followers akin to idolatry. Idolatry = Pauline Christianity Jesus never called himself God but spoke of following principles God gave. Paul and idolators equated Jesus to God in line with Egyptian, Roman mythology of Zeus, Horis etc. How different is this from Idolatry? Repeating the same line doesn't add weight. Who is guided that the almighty doesn't guide? Do you disagree with the scripture from your mixed up Bible I earlier shared? Keep diving into hadith maybe you will find one akin to your Bible that calls the prophet.... (may Allah protect me from the satan and blasphemy which you proudly commit) How can your God become cursed and forsaken to save you? Is that how powerless he is? To have to become his creation to redeem his creation. Is it that he created what he doesn't understand or have authority over? |
I forget that Paul has taught you gullible that you can be equal to God. Why then do you have in your scripture that thr builders build in vain if God doesn't build with them. Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. If God doesn't guide you, who can guide you? Of course you just read without thought perharps your brain is in your asshole. Imagine a willing saviour exclaiming my lord my lord why has thou forsaken me? How can one who is forsaken save all others? What idiocy modelled into religion |
