Soul = body made with clay + God's breath/spirit

Do you understand now?
My friend, you're very humorous. You mean soul = body? That's too sarcastic.

Man's spirit — man's person spirit —returns to this God? Where is this written so we can maybe get on the same page, given that all you have typed up so far reads a lot like a bunch of religiously manufactured gobblegook. undecided
If I give you the verse of scripture that says the spirit of man returns to God, would you admit that you're the one who's ignorant. Would you humble yourself and learn the Truth of God and discard your satanically infused doctrines? Here you go:

Ecclesiastes 12:7:

"And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."

Whatever I have said in that comment of mine have scriptural basis.

Satan is described as a he....Taurus (The bull)
Devil is also a he Capricorn (The goat)
Lucifer is a she Virgo (The virgin)
They are 3 different Orishas.
Where do you people get the idea of fallen angels from? It is found no where in the Tanakh or Bible.
Believe me when I say that Mary is Lucifer, the mother of Jesus. I have a strong Catholic background. I know church history a lot.
Smiling. The church history you know is that of the modernized Babylonian cult- the Catholic Church. They have a fake Mary and you'll be correct if you call their Mary an orisha. In Christiiendom, Mary is just an ordinary being who mothered the Lord Jesus. There's nothing special about her demanding of being worshipped.

There's a lot of deception in the kingdom of darkness. All the orisas you worship are actually fallen angels. They always resemble and bow whenever we confront them in the name of Jesus.

You really don't know anything.
Breath is used interchangeably with spirit.
See Ecclesiastics 12 "7 for more details or Psalm 104:29-31.
Yes, breathe is used interchangeably with spirit. That's why soul cannot be breathe.

I asked you a question, if the breathe of God became a living soul after it entered Adam, was it a dead soul before it entered Adam?

Breathe is spirit but breathe is not soul Both spirit and soul are different things.

Another question is "The soul gjY sinneth shall die. Would God's breathe die if indeed God's breath is the same as the soul?

Which soul became a living soul.?
That isn't what you said.

When God breathed into man, did the Bible not say that the man BECAME A LIVING SOUL?

If he became a living soul by the breath of God, how can the same breathe be the spirit of God? Was the breathe of God a dead soul before it entered into Adam to become a living soul?

This is where you people keep missing it.
I have explained this a thousand times.
The devil is not the same as Satan is not the same as Lucifer. They are 3 different Orishas. Orishas represent the personification of laws and principles.
Satan is the he Orisha of the air. The Bible says he is the Lord of the air. Please read the book of job.
Devil is the Orisha of darkness AKA the moon. The Bible calls it the prince of darkness.
Lucifer is a she, she is the Orisha or love, wisdom, war and death. She is the morning star and queen of heaven. She is also Mary the mother of Jesus in Christianity.

They are not evil. They represent the forces of life personified.
Lol.

These your post is full of ignorance my friend.

Devil is a general name for any being. Even common English language will call you a devil.for being evil. But evilness itself derived itself from Satan. That's why devil and Satan are used interchangeably for him. He has many names in the Bible. He is called Leviathan. He is called The serpent. He is also called the dragon as well as many other names.

Mary in Christianity is not an orisha except you're talking about the Roman Catholic Church which is a modernized cult of ancient Babylon. Their Mary is actually Asthoreth also called Semiramis Diana, Athemis, etc. She is the one called the queen of heaven. She is disguised as Mary in Roman Catholicism and worshipped. In Yoruba, she is Yeye Osun A very high ranking fallen angel.

Satan is a male who was originally called Lucifer before he rebelled. All scripture references to Satan designate him as a man with the male pronouns. He is the chief of all forces of darkness. Those of God whom God uses in the ministry of deliverance actually know who Satan is beyond what we read in books. He is none of what you're describing him to be. Like in all cults, he is often described as a good spirit but he's not. He is the ruler of the
darkness of this world. The chief of the agents of wickedness.

The soul belongs to God. It is God's spirit why should he send himself to hell?
When did God say he would send his spirit to hell?
When God breath into man, it becomes a living soul. When God takes his breath, the soul ceases to exist.

Comprende?
No, the Soul is the man that came alive when God breathed His Spirit into man. It was the soul that became a living soul and animated the clay which is the body.

@Gothamcities
Devil is just the personification of darkness. There is no where it says in the Tanakh that the devil was evil. I don't know where the authors of the Bible got that idea from.
Only God is God. There are not two, the devil is not a dual opposite of God, to think so is an insult. God is sovereign over all his creation.
Nothing happens without his Ok. He creates light and darkness, he creates peace and evil.
Only the Lord most high.
The devil is God's property and very much part of God.
While you're right that God has no opposite, you're wrong to say the devil is just darkness and not evil. The devil is actually a being. A fallen angel formerly called Lucifer. He has many names they call him.in the cults. Those who worship Satan know that he is not just darkness but a being.

imagrg:
I want to start keeping to myself because I feel I'm giving out my wealthy state of life...call it destiny if you like.

Since I became a man, I've observed that anyone I make friends with, particularly those I am very fond of, become very rich later in life and when they are rich, they glide away...

I had Wahab as a childhood friend at Auchi and today he is a rich man

Patrick was into Pools staking and he was made wretched by it. I fed him when he became my friend; today he is into haulage business.

Dr. Onuh was a serving doctor at Egba where I was a teacher but today he runs the biggest Foundation hospital at Abuja.

Ken was an adhoc staff at a Secondary School at Urora whom I helped and encouraged when he was later laid off his job but today, he is in the United States of America and he built a multi-million Naira house in Benin City.

Most of my former girlfriends are making millions of Naira and are very comfortable.

These are just a fickle of the examples I would have made here for lack of time.

I may not be as rich as those I mentioned are but I feel happy my aura creates wealth for people.

The question I intend to ask is this:

Are these people robbing me of my destiny?
Or am I having a leak in my destiny that people are tapping from?
I don't think your interaction with people have any negative effect on your person. If they're drifting away from you after being wealthy, why don't you check yourself to see what is really wrong that makes your wealthy friends abandon you?

Also, your observation might be a mere coincidence as everyone actually has rich friends even though not all the friends are rich. Your case would only be an exception if all your friends are rich. I mean every single person with whom you have been a friend.

Let's also not forget it was the religious leaders of that time that insisted he must be killed. Those who "knew" the scriptures.
This is equivalent to the senior pastor's and G.Os of today, who will vehemently fight anyone who questions their teachings.
Yeah, God was using everyone including Satan himself to fulfil His divine purpose.

Satan used men to kill Him because he saw that His life was a threat to his kingdom and his operations.

The men being used by Satan deemed it fit to get Him killed because they saw that His life was rendering them useless. They're not performing any miracle but Jesus was spoiling their market with unthinkable wonders.

Both Satan and men were working together for their selfish aims which ultimately fulfilled God's purpose. Joseph was a type. His brothers selfishly sold him to Egypt but in the end they ended up making him the man God destined Him to be.

"For truly against Your holy Son Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done." Acts 4:27-28.

Man and Satan will fight you but in the end, they'll push you into God's purpose for your life. Like Christ and Joseph, even your enemies are your stepping stones.

The body goes extinct, Souls don't. The soul of man is the real man. That's what the Bible calls "The Inner Man".

The body is just a casing that pins the soul to the earth. The soul escapes the earth ones the body dies.

Why would /should God send his spirit to hel? Does it make any sense?
Man is body made from the dust of the earth + God's spirit/breath.
When you expire, God's spirit returns to him and the body is buried for it to return to the earth. Just like the preacher said in Ecclesiastics 12:7

What the fvck goes to hell??
Man's spirit returns to God The breathe of life is a lease to man to enable man dwell on earth. When the earthly existence of a man expires, the breathe of life returns to God who gave it but the real man continues to live another life beyond the earth..

You'll agree with me even from scriptures that man does not cease to be after he dies. His spirit returns to God but his soul lives on. That's why the scriptures say "The soul (not the spirit) that sinneth shall die " Ezekiel 18:20. This death spoken of here is eternal separation from God, not extinction. As the Old Testament also says:

"The wicked shall be cast to hell, and all the nations that forget God." Psalm 9:17.

Galatians 3:27, is another verse of scripture that establishes this Truth of the Gospel:

"For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."

Here the Scripture is talking about the spiritual activity of being immersed into Christ. That process removes the filthy nature and clothes you with the new nature of Christ. If you are in Christ, then, you have put on Christ, and Christ nature can now fully manifest in you.

Ibkay32:
Isn't about been to heaven, But if we’re discussing angels bearing swords, the idea comes from religious texts and artistic depictions, not personal experience. Whether you see it as fable or faith depends on your perspective.
The idea of angels bearing swords even in religious texts all relate to earth or the atmosphere of earth. There's no single scripture that shows the presence of swords within heaven itself.

Spiritual sword is a different thing though. Swords in the Biblical context is simply the Word of God.
Christianity EtcRe: Real Reason Why Jesus Died by GothamCities(op): 2:10pm On Mar 23, 2025
Ephesians 4:13, further established this truth. Here, the Bible was telling us the ultimate goal of the activities of the ministers of God in our midst. The purpose of Apostles, Pastors, Evangelists, Teachers and Prophets is to teach and tend the Church of God...

"...until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."

This verse emphasizes the importance of spiritual growth and maturity, striving to become more like Christ in our thoughts, words, and actions. This is the very goal of the Gospel. This is the fundamental purpose of the Church.

Bmaster:
some dey argue if heaven was that perfect,how then was Satan able to rebel against The Almighty God to the point that there was a war too ?
That's a great question, and it touches on an important distinction: Heaven as God's dwelling place vs. the presence of free will.

1. Heaven Was Perfect, But Angels Have Free Will
Heaven is indeed perfect, but perfection does not mean the absence of free will. God created both angels and humans with the ability to choose. Lucifer (Satan) was not created as a devil; he was originally a high-ranking angel—a perfect being with the ability to choose good or evil.

Ezekiel 28:15 describes Lucifer before his fall:
"You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you."

God did not create a robotic world where beings are forced to obey Him. Love and obedience must come from a willing heart, not from force. Lucifer, in his pride, chose to rebel, and he convinced other angels to follow him.

2. How Could There Be War in Heaven?
Revelation 12:7-9 tells us:
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."

The war was not a physical battle with swords and guns. It was a battle of authority. Satan wanted to overthrow God (Isaiah 14:12-14), but he was cast out of heaven because no created being can overpower the Almighty.

3. Why Did God Allow This?
God allows free will because true righteousness must be chosen, not forced. Just as Lucifer had the choice to obey or rebel, so do humans. God desires love and obedience that come from the heart, not from compulsion.

4. Why Can’t Sin Enter Heaven Again?
Unlike in Lucifer’s time, the current Kingdom of God is sealed. After Christ’s victory on the cross, there will never again be rebellion in heaven. Those who enter heaven will have been transformed into the perfect nature of Christ, making rebellion impossible.

"And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." – Revelation 21:27

Conclusion
Heaven was perfect, but free will allowed Lucifer to rebel.

The "war" was a battle for authority, but Satan was cast out.

God allowed this because love and obedience must be chosen.

Future rebellion is impossible because only the redeemed, transformed in Christ’s nature, will enter heaven.

God’s justice and wisdom are perfect. The same way He purged heaven of rebellion, He is also purging the world of sin so that His eternal Kingdom remains pure. That’s why receiving Christ is the only way to escape sin’s destruction.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Is God Not Wicked? Why Will He Send Anyone to Hell?

This is one of the most common questions skeptics ask: “If God is love, why would He send people to hell? Isn't that wicked?” Some even argue that if God truly loved us, He would accept everyone into heaven regardless of their sins. But is this reasoning correct? Let’s examine it carefully.

Hell Was Never Meant for Humans
First, we must understand that God did not originally create hell for humans. The Bible is very clear about this:

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." – Matthew 25:41

Who was hell prepared for? The devil and his angels. Hell was never meant for mankind! But something changed. Man took on the nature of sin, the very nature of Satan. And because God is just, He cannot allow sin to abide in His presence.

A Sinful Nature Cannot Enter a Holy Place
Imagine a hospital with a sterile operating room. The room is perfectly clean, free from bacteria, and ready for surgery. Would a responsible doctor allow someone covered in mud, carrying deadly germs, to walk into that sterile room? Of course not! The doctor is not wicked for refusing entry; he is protecting the purity of the space.

In the same way, heaven is a place of perfect holiness. No sin can enter. God is not wicked for refusing entry to those who still carry the sin nature. The real question is: Why would anyone refuse the cleansing that God has freely provided?

God’s Plan Was Never to Send Anyone to Hell
God does not take pleasure in the death of sinners. The Bible says:

"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" – Ezekiel 33:11

God is not some cruel dictator sending people to hell for His amusement. On the contrary, He has done everything possible to prevent men from going there. He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to take away the sin of the world. He provided a way for all men to escape judgment and receive eternal life.

Man’s Choice: Rejecting or Accepting God’s Offer
Let’s illustrate it this way:

Imagine a man drowning in the ocean. A lifeguard sees him, throws him a lifeline, and says, “Grab on, and I will pull you to safety!” But instead of taking the lifeline, the man refuses and says, “If you really cared about me, you would come down here and let me swim in my own way.” He drowns, not because the lifeguard was wicked, but because he rejected the only way to be saved.

This is exactly what happens with salvation. God has provided the only way to escape eternal separation from Him—through Jesus Christ. Anyone who rejects Jesus is essentially saying, “I don’t want to be saved God’s way.” Hell is simply the default destination for those who refuse God's offer of life.

God Respects Your Free Will
God will never force anyone into heaven. That would violate free will. If a man rejects God in this life, it would be unjust for God to drag him into eternity with Him against his will. That’s why hell is not just a place of punishment—it is a place of separation. Those who reject God now will continue in that rejection forever.

C.S. Lewis once put it this way: “The gates of hell are locked from the inside.” God does not force men into hell; men choose it by rejecting Him.

How to Escape Hell
The good news is that no one has to go to hell. Jesus Christ has already paid the price for your sins. All you need to do is believe and accept His free gift of salvation.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." – John 3:16

If you want to receive this new life today, pray this simple prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess that I am a sinner and I ask for your forgiveness. I accept your sacrifice and invite you into my life as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen."

If you prayed this prayer with sincerity, you are now saved! Hell is no longer your destination—heaven is.

Final Words
God is not wicked for planning to send men to hell. In reality, He has done everything possible to stop them from going there. Those who end up in hell will not be there because God wanted them there, but because they rejected the only way to be saved.

Choose life today. Choose Jesus.

God bless your heart.

Christianity EtcRe: Real Reason Why Jesus Died by GothamCities(op): 9:17am On Mar 23, 2025
Various verses of Scripture drive home this Truth of Jesus' death and resurrection. Here are some:

"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you." - Romans 8:11

This verse tells us that the same powerful Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in all believers, and He will give us Jesus' life full of Jesus' nature, His vitality, and victory over sin, and death whereby we live according to the new nature of Christ within our being.

Here's another verse:

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." - Galatians 2:20

This verse beautifully expresses the Christian's identity in Christ. As believers, we have died to our old selves. Our old sinful nature has been uninstalled and now, we live in union with Christ, who lives His righteous nature through us. Sin becomes a struggle. Righteous becomes a walk in the park because of the new nature.

Remember the song? "Great change since I was born."

Christianity EtcReal Reason Why Jesus Died by GothamCities(op):
Real Reason Why Jesus Died

Contrary to what many think, Jesus didn't die to bring forgiveness as is being propagated by most Christians. God has been forgiving sinners ever before Jesus appeared on the scene. We have so many instances even in the Bible. Jesus Himself told us why He Must die. Let's look into it together.

Forgiveness Does Not Solve the Sin Problem

To us humans, the world is filled with countless problems, but to God, the world has ONLY ONE PROBLEM - SIN. Sin actually is the root cause of all the problems the world is experiencing today. This problem is not solved by forgiveness because a forgiven sinner continues to sin after being forgiven. The problem continues.

God created Adam a perfect and sinless man. That's the kind of man God wanted to see on His earth. Not the one who sins and needs to be forgiven 200 times a day. That's why Jesus said "Be ye therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." Mathew 5:48.

Since the first Creation has been polluted through sin - sin has become the nature of men. You don't need to teach a toddler to sin. He knows how to sin from the very day he's born. Sin is very easy but righteousness is hard. This is because man is naturally sinful. But God didn't create man this way in the beginning.

To solve the sin problem of man, God had to bring another man into the picture who would be a perfect and sinless man, and whose nature would be redistributed as the new software of righteousness within a new set of humans. This, God decided to do instead of moulding another set of clay to breathe into. He'll rather uninstall man's sinful software and reinstall a new software of sinlessness and righteousness. To achieve this Christ had to come and die. This is the reason why Jesus told some Greeks who wanted to see Him:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone: BUT IF IT DIES, IT BRINGS FORTH MUCH FRUITS."- John 12:24

Jesus used this metaphor to describe the purpose of His death. Instead of Jesus being the only Perfect and Sinless Man who ever lived, He needed to die and be sown as a spiritual seed so that His Sinless Nature can be multiplied and reproduced in other humans. In a nutshell, Jesus was telling those Greeks that "Once I die and resurrect, you wouldn't need to be looking for just me because there'll be many Jesuses." For this reason, the Bible calls Him the Second Adam, and those who take on His Nature are called New Creatures. And because they exhibit the nature of Christ, they're called Christians - Christ-like people.

This is very true because once the nature of Christ gets into you, all the alurements of this world hold no more attraction to you. You'll start hating the sins you used to love, while craving righteousness which is now part of your new nature. That's why the Scriptures say:

"...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17

This is God's perfect antidote for the sin nature. Forgiveness does not cure sin just as clothing a mad man does not cure madness. This is the error of religion. The religions of the world preach forgiveness but none of them have the power to stop the sin nature. All religions of the world put the old mad man in a new jacket. He may appear neat but the madness remains. The death of Jesus puts a new man in a new jacket. The man is neat with all his madness gone. This solution is God's wisdom for the cure of sinful man. And you can get all these by simply professing faith in Christ.

Why is God doing this?

God wants to eradicate the sin nature from His universe. The sin nature cannot abide in God's paradise, just as no one wants to take a clothed mad man from the streets into his mansion.

God has prepared hell, not for man but for the total eradication of the sin nature so that His plan for man can continue as it was from the beginning. This is why anyone who does not have the nature of Christ would be condemned.. The same reason why Jesus is called The Firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29). The First Man to have the sinless nature. Jesus is coming back for His brethren. Those who do not have His nature are none of His.

How to Get Christ's Nature
The Spirit of Christ which is also called The Power of His Resurrection, administers the Nature of Christ to everyone who believes. That's why the Bible says:

"Now if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." - Romans 8:9.

Having this new nature is what it means to be born again.

To get this new nature right now, just believe that Christ died for you. It's just as simple as that. Nothing hard at all. If you have this belief, express your belief by praying this simple prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I believe that you died for me so that I can take off my old sinful nature and put on your new nature. Today, I confess that I am a sinner. Today I ask for your forgiveness. Today, I ask that you give me your new nature by your Living Spirit. Be the Lord of my life from henceforth. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. Now I know that I am Born Again, and I now have Christ's New Nature."

If you have prayed this prayer above with sincerity, be rest assured that something new has occurred within you. You'll start seeing changes in yourself within the coming days. You're now a new born baby into the family of God. Jesus Christ has just become your Brother and you are now one of His many brethren.

Feed your new nature with the Word of God daily. Read the Bible and attend a Bible believing Church or fellowship so that you may grow. Accept my congratulations.

God bless your heart.

[quite]Is it Wike that refused to present the 2024 and 2025 budget to the Rivers State house of Assembly?[/quote]Should Fubara obey you or obey the judgment of the Rivers State High Court that rendered the seats of the 27 defected lawmakers seat vacant?

[quotes]Is Wike the one that appointed commissioners without getting them screened by the Rivers house of Assembly as required by law?[/quote]You have no reason to allude to this event since Fubara corrected the error and restored the resigned commissioners to their commission.

Is it Wike that withheld the funds of Rivers State house of assembly since 2023?
Should Fubara release funds to the members of a house whose seats have been declared vacant by the State's High Court?

[quite]Is it Wike that is bombing oil pipelines in Rivers state?[/quote]Was it Fubara that was bombing oil pipelines in Rivers State?

So, how will cautioning Wike remedy all these constitutional violations? How will cautioning Wike bring back the demolished house of assembly? How will cautioning Wike ensure that the legislative arm of government in the state is allowed to function as intended by the constitution? How will cautioning Wike stop Fubara’s boys from blowing up oil pipelines?
What exactly did Woke forget in the Rivers State Government house or office that he wants Fubara to get for him? The reason for which he rejected all peace moves and kept meddling in the affairs of the state from Abuja.

Kingsempires:
that is your own mentality about christian ok if you use this logic that means Muslim are following the teachings of Mohammed not Allah. Because nor of the prophets,disciples etc bow their heads towards mecca, it was never forbidden for them to call God father, the never participate in child marriage etc. so which teaching are you guys following is it Mohammed teaching or Allah teaching. Why I am asking is because I noticed you just contradict yourself 🙁
The whole Bible is all about Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. The New Testament was about the promised work of salvation that God has accomplished for man. That salvation is Jesus. The Bible is not a book on the history of Jesus but on God's plan of salvation which was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. We know Jesus, not by His physical life but by His spiritual life, especially after the cross. All true christians have intimate relationship with Jesus even today. We relate with Him daily and get to know Him more and more every single day of our lives. Far beyond the 5 yr history you're majoring on. You can't know Jesus by knowing His physical life or history . Even from His 100yrs of history, you still can't know Jesus.

[quote author=Antichristian2 post=134538526]Those who enter discussions with the mentality that Christianity is not a religion are essentially ignorant. What is a religion?
Religion can be understood as a complex system that encompasses various elements, including Beliefs, practices, community, Sacred text and moral framework!
And I'm telling you that Christy why is none of these.

How can any sane person claim that the God of the Bible started no religion? Are there no beliefs, practices, community, sacred texts and moral frameworks develeping everywhere in the Bible?
Just name the religion the God of the Bible started and give us the name He called it, since you're the sane person.

I don't need to argue with an ignoramus. You need to read further with a more open mind!
Read what exactly?

Lol. Someone just told you about Orunmila.

The dirts of Islam is being exposed all over the world. Just tell us you have no answer!

Antichristian2:
If Jesus is a Christian, then show us where he called himself such?

Define a Christian and show us how Jesus fits in!
Jesus is Christ. A Christian is someone who lives like Christ. Now, tell me the difference between Jesus and those who live like Him. In Christianity, Jesus is a standard of living. He Himself established that standard when He said "If ye love me, ye will obey my commandments."

Pharaoh was a Muslim according to your Quran. If Pharaoh was a Muslim and Moses was also a Muslim like pharaoh, why were they serving different Gods? Can you spot the scam? The God of Moses was definitely not the God of Pharaoh. Hence both cannot be Muslims. Mohammed was a scammer.

Alexander the great was also a Muslim according to Islam. Yet he served different gods including Zeus, Ares, Athena, Apollos and others . He didn't serve the God of Abraham and Moses. Islam is pure deception.

Antichristian2:
Did Christ practiced any religious while on earth according to the Bible?

He told the rich ruler to obey the commandments and follow him. The same thing other prophets preached. More importantly, he worshipped his creator.
And who's the commandment? Jesus, the Word of God is the Commandments of God. Obeying the Word of God is obeying Jesus. You Muslims don't get it! Rejecting Jesus is rejecting the Word of God. Rejecting the Word of God is a rejection of God Himself. Honoring any other entity such as Mohammed above the Word of God is dishonoring God. Just as if my children honour anyone above my word, they dishonor me. May your eyes be opened.

Now you worship Jesus. Jesus had a God! Even when Satan tempted Jesus to bow to him Jesus said only God deserves the worship!
Yes, because Jesus is the Word of God. The Word of God is the Almighty. You guys don't understand the personality of Jesus. You fail to see beyond your nostrils and designate Him as a mere man like yourselves. Jesus is the Word of God.

But again, why are you denying that your books never called Pharaoh a Muslim?

Verse 90 from surah Yunus
﴿۞ وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًا ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ قَالَ آمَنتُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا الَّذِي آمَنَتْ بِهِ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ﴾
[ يونس: 90]

English - Sahih International
10:90 And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."
Surah Yunus in Arabic


Christianity, Buddhism, etc are names after people. They are the creations of people not God. The person who first called people Christlike was an unknown disbeliever!
Nope. Christ is not the name of anybody.

How about Alexander who served many gods and goddesses? Yet he was a Muslim like Moses even though he never served Moses' God? Please open your eyes!


You said Satan didn't recognize Jesus as God.

Hahaha, Satan does not recognize even God as God. He is claiming to be God himself. But, you should at least admit that demons called Jesus the Son of God and begged Him not to destroy them before their time

LoLz. What a pathetic claim. Science can't explain that zinc is reactive? Did you go to school at all?
You're the one who didn't actually go to school. I have explained that zinc is reactive already. If you went to school, you'll not need me to be explaining my simple post to you. Are your eyes seeing double? Where exactly did I say that science can't explain that zinc is reactive? Olodo.
Christianity EtcRe: Science Shows When God Sends The Child's Spirit Into The Womb by GothamCities: 4:36pm On Mar 09, 2025
You're referring to the "zinc spark"!

The zinc spark is a fleeting event that occurs at the moment of fertilization, when a sperm meets an egg. It's a burst of zinc ions that illuminates the egg, making it visible under a microscope.

Research has shown that this zinc spark is a critical event in the fertilization process, helping to trigger the egg's development into an embryo.

Science cannot explain why the spark of light happens during the spark of life. They will never be able to explain it. They can only explain the biochemical sides of things. The burst of calcium ions , zinc ions and other phenomena which they refer to as 'The light of conception'. The Light of Life.

The Bible long established that Jesus is the Light of Life:

John 8:12, which says:

"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'"
