Dodobrain,
So, You would reject all that modern education has taught you, in favour of stone-age scriblings?

Your parents should at least be entitled to a full refund of all school fees paid for your pretended education.

Three times in the Psalms, the Bible refers to Egypt as the 'land of Ham'. Since Egypt is located in Africa, i can't say no to the op. Psalms 105: 23 and 27.

I am grate to you, my LORD JESUS, THE KING OF kings and the LORD of lords.

All I see is insults and nonsense comments.. listen to Islamic scholars, they've been condemning and enlightening the people about it, causing riots is not in accordance to islam. And most of the jihadis serve political purposes my friend. If I judge you based on what pastors do in naija or across the world will be unfair to you as well.and you call them men of god and prophets all in d name of religion, how do you defend that?
Hypocrisy!

the same scholars are the ones educating the people to fight against d enemies of islam, they teach the young muslims in mosques and islamic school to be jihadists, to protest and kill when someone tears d quran or draws a cartoon. The scholars are d one teaching the promise of heaven with 72 virgins to each jihadist killed in d fight to defend islam and its prophet.

mustymatic:

My brother no Christian will remain on earth alive forever, that's a fact, there's no hypocrisy and lies in Islam, All prophets and people will all die, Jesus will descend to and all the disbelivers will believe him a messenger of God, and he will die too. Malvisguy212 you will also die!

will muslims live forever on earth? Islam itself is a lie and hypocrisy, we see what the militant wing of islam is doing all over the world, and muslims won't protest or riot. But one ignorant man far away somwhere draws a harmless cartoon, the muslims all over d world will call for riots, violent protests, and killings of people that don't even know anything about muhammad. Muslims claim the non muslims are damaging d image of their, god, prophet and religion. But when Isis, hezbollah, boko, and other jihadist group massively kill non muslims, muslims don't organise protests, riots, or take up arms against the terrorists. Instead they either keep silent or say they are not fighting for islam, or they are few bad muslims that don't understand the meaning of islam, that islam is peace, and many other excuses. Is this not hypocrisy?
Since isa will come back and u are sure, why not wait for isa to come and turn everybody to muslims? Why are your jihadists in a hurry to kill every non muslims now? Big liar!

dijam:
answer it

what? Where do you see Moses in the post?

dijam:
Alhamdulillah I am a muslim and I am very happy to be one. Christians pls where did Jesus say "I am your Lord and savior"? What has jesus done that has not been done before for him to be classified as Lord? I think Jesus and Moses have the same God, are you people saying God did not ask Moses and prophets before to fight wars, what changed about that God? Pls answer with proof and sincerity

read the topic and the write up again

Good, but, Jesus is just imcomparable to any man, be he a saint or sinner, prophet or pastor. Still baffles me why a normal sane man will be praising and defending such a terrible person! Can any man do what muhamad did today and be walking the streets free?

Absolutely correct!

You are worthy of all my praise, my Jesus!

OLAADEGBU:

Is it true that Muslims can divorce their wives by text messages?

Haa

Great is Thy faithfulness oh Lord.

Jesus who will sit and judge the world on judgement day warns that any man that divorces his wife, except for fornication (not adtultery) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Muhamad and alah command their followers to divorce at will, muhamad and his alah even caused muhamad's adopted son to divorce his wife so that muhamad could marry the divorced woman.

Thou art worthy oh LORD, to receive glory honor and power.

Demmzy15:

Bla Bla Bla Bla.... Every reasonable person knows I've dealt with this issue extensively, but you're yet to answer my question. [size=18pt]Why did 12year old Mary have marry 90years old Joseph? Why did 14year old Mary have sex with 92year old Joseph?![/size]

quote the Bible chapter and verse where the ages were written, or close ur mouth, liar!

Scholar8200:
@Demmzy, one of the reason I may not agree with the issue on ages is that before 90yrs old, (as early as Genesis) Abraham (around 86) was past the years of pleasure and Romans described his body as being dead. David died at the age of 70 and before his death, 1Kings 1:2-4 shows how he was totally past the age of sexual pleasure! Therefore, for a man that was many generations after David, pleasure at the age of 90 is totally impossible!!!

Now let's consider Numbers 31:18
18 But all the young women who have not had sexual intercourse with a man will be yours.

Speaker: Moses
Audience: selected soldiers (not all Israel)
Event: After the retaliatory battle (see Num 31:2) against the midianites (the Old testament dispensation allowed tit for tat and the midianites were the initiators this time.)
Tenor of Command: One-off (Not to be continued)
Dispensation: Old
Applicable Today: No. The Old covenant was fulfilled through Christ Who ushered in the New as purposed by the Father

Thanks sir. They forget joseph the carpenter had never married before, that marry had many children after the birth of Christ and that Jesus was with Joseph till he was arround 30 yrs of age.

Demmzy15:

The scriptures has up to 24,000 manuscripts in which you guys choosing only 72/66. So you see, now I gave my source to be the Apocryphal, this books are as early the Mathew, John, Mark, Luke. Remember that not all actions of Jesus's life was recorded(John 21:25), so you're wrong to say anything outside the bible is a lie! Joseph and Mary were Jews, if you read up the link given to you. You'll discover that according to Judaism, a female on the onset of puberty is fit for marriage. Now calmly visit the link and see for yourself,dont use your culture to judge other people. It's irrational!

He asked for chapter and verse in the Bible. Is that so hard, or you are only trying to make muhamed action justifyable?

Teekrayne:
............................................................................. NB: ALLAH is INFALLIBLE but the MUHAMMAD(SAW) is FALLIBLE because he was/is a human...... Now, to answer you sir. The question now is why the epithet “O SISTER OF AARON”? Well, Upon seeing Mary with a child, and having no knowledge of her having married anyone or being unchaste, her people exclaimed using the epithet yā ukhta harūn or “O sister of Aaron”. From the immediate context it is obvious this epithet was used to draw Mary's attention, which could mean the following things.

Firstly, it was to remind her of her similarity to Aaron in her piety and worship of God. Thus the statement becomes a reprimand to her having borne a child without being married, a shocking sin given her piety and the known righteousness of her immediate family and her ancestors................... Secondly, the epithet yā ukhta harūn or "O sister of Aaron" was also to remind Mary of her pious ancestor MIRIAM, the sister of Aaron (and Moses), who was given the title "prophetess" (EXODUS 15:20) and is highly regarded in the Hebrew Bible and rabbinical literature. She is mentioned in (MICAH 6:4) with Moses and Aaron as one of the three who led Israel out of Egypt. The rabbinical literature elaborates the biblical account where MIRIAM is portrayed as a person for whom God intervened. God honoured her by Himself officiating as the cohen to declare her definitely a leper and subsequently to declare her cleansed. Because she had waited for Moses by the river, the Israelites waited for her to recover. A miraculous well, created during the twilight on the eve of the first Sabbath, accompanied the Children of Israel in the desert due to her merits. Like Moses and Aaron, she too died by the kiss of God since the angel of death had no power over her.

Both these explanations have a support from a ḥadīth of Prophet Muḥammad(SAW). The Christians of Najran during the time of the Prophet raised a similar objection and it was answered by the Prophet(SAW). In Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim, a ḥadīth related by Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah [5326] says:

Mughirab. Shu‘ba reported: When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: You read "O sister of Harun(Aaron)" in the Qur'an, whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) I asked him about that, whereupon he said: "The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the NAMES OF APOSTLES AND PIOUS PERSON§ WHO HAD GONE BEFORE THEM."

It is clear from this ḥadīth that the Prophet did not "CONFUSE" between the two Marys. He pointed out that people from earlier times gave names after the pious people who had gone before them.......... Furthermore, the Muslim exegetes have already disproved the alleged confusion of the two Marys using the above ḥadīth and the Qur'an itself.......... For example, BARBARA FREYER STOWASSER points out:

Mary's designation as "sister of Aaron" (and also "daughter of Amram" has led some non-Muslims to allege a Qur'anic "confusion" of Miriam (Maryam) the sister of Aaron and Moses with Mary (Maryam) the mother of Jesus. THIS CONTROVERSY IS VERY OLD..., AND REFUTATION OF THE ALLEGATION BY MUSLIM AUTHORITIES IS WELL- DOCUMENTED. According to the tafsir, Mary was addressed as "sister of Aaron" because the Qur'an is drawing a comparison, or because she did have a brother by that name.............................................................. Furthermore, Elsewhere, concerning the alleged contradiction of the two Marys, STOWASSER, quoting Ibn Kathir says:

......"This controversy is as old as the Muslim-Christian dialogue. The Prophet is said to have refuted similar arguments made by the Christians of Najran during his lifetime; "to confuse Mary the mother of Jesus with Mary the sister of Moses and Aaron in Torah is COMPLETELY WRONG and in contradiction to the sound Hadith and the Qur'anic text as we have established it in the Tafsir" (Isma'il ibn Umar Abu l-Fida Ibn Kathir, Qisas al-anbiya', ed. Mustafa Abd al-Wahid, vol. II [Dar al-kutub al-haditha, 1968] pp. 393-394.

Therefore, the epithet "O sister of Aaron" used by Mary's people when they saw a baby in her arms, was simply a reminder to her of the people like her who had gone before and were pious and chaste. Furthermore, the Qur'an, just like the New Testament, associates Mary, mother of Jesus, during the time of Zakariyya. This makes the case for "confusion" between the two Marys untenable.

....... Except you are indolent, bias or one-sided in the way you make your research, The Qur'an is devoid of mistakes; watch your tongue!!!..... God bless us all.

see the long, evasive, irrelevant, and confusing post to a simple topic.

yashau:
That Togolese footballer, Emmanuel Adebayor converted to Islam is
no longer news. The news had gone viral and the
Aston Villa bound striker had also confirmed it.
Adebayor has now come out to fully address the issue by giving
reasons why he converted to Islam. He justified his new found faith
by saying Muslims are like Jesus and also described them as” truer
followers of Christ”.
Read below (Source: The Herald):
1. Jesus (pbuh) taught that there is only One God and Only God
should be worshipped as taught in Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29. Muslims
also believe this as taught in the Qur’an verse 4:171.
2. Jesus (pbuh) didn’t eat pork as taught in Leviticus 11:7 , and
neither do Muslims as taught in the Qur’an verse 6:145.
3. Jesus (pbuh) greeted with the words “as salaamu alaikum” (Peace
be with you) in John 20:21. Muslims also greet each other this way.
4. Jesus (pbuh) always said “God Willing” (inshallah), Muslims say
this too before doing anything as taught in the Qur’an verses
18:23-24.
5. Jesus (pbuh) washed his face, hands, and feet before praying.
The Muslims do the same.
6. Jesus (pbuh) and other prophets of the Bible prayed with their
head to the ground (see Matthew26:39). Muslims do too as taught in
the Qur’an verse 3:43.
7. Jesus (pbuh) had a beard and wore a throbe. It is Sunnah for
Muslim men to do the same.
8. Jesus (pbuh) followed the law and believed in all the prophets,
(see Matthew 5:17). Muslims do too as taught in the Qur’an verses
3:84, and 2:285.
9. Jesus’ mother Maryam (pbut) dressed modestly by fully covering
her body and wearing a headscarf (hijab) as found in 1 Timothy
2:9, Genesis 24:64-65, and Corinthians 11:6. Muslim women
modestly dress the same as taught in the Qur’an verse 33:59.
10. Jesus (pbuh) and other prophets of the Bible fasted up to 40
days (see Exodus 34:28, Daniel 10:2-6. 1Kings 19:8, and Matthew
4:1-Muslims do so also during the month of Ramadan. Muslims are
required to fast the full obligatory 30 days (see Qur’an 2:183), and
others take it a step further by fasting an additional 6 days to
increase their rewards.
11. Jesus (pbuh) taught to say “Peace to this house” when entering it
(see Luke 10:5), and to also greet the people in the house with
“peace be unto you”. Muslims do exactly what Jesus did and taught.
When we enter our homes and the homes of others we say
“Bismillah” and also greet with “as salaamu alaikum” (peace be
upon you) as taught in the Qur’an verse 24:61.
12. Jesus (pbuh) was circumcised. Circumcision is 1 of the 5 fitrah in
Islam, so Muslim men are required to be circumcised. According to
the Bible in Luke 2:21, Jesus was eight days old when he was
circumcised. In the Torah, Allah/God stated to the Prophet
Abraham (pbuh) that it is an “Everlasting covenant” (see Genesis
17:13). In the Qur’an verse 16:123 Muslims are required to follow
the religion of Abraham. The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said, “The
Prophet Abraham circumcised himself when he was eighty years
old.” (see Sahih hadith Bukhari, Muslim, and Ahmad).
13. Jesus (pbuh) spoke aramaic and called God”Elah”, which is
pronounced the same as “Allah”. Aramaic is an ancient, Biblical
language. It is one of the Semitic languages that also include
Hebrew, Arabic, Ethiopic and the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian
language of Akkadian.
The Aramaic”Elah” and the Arabic “Allah” are the same.

Did adebayor really write this? When did he write it? The 13 reasons have been online since 2012? Cant you people stop lying. Was adebayor ever a Christ follower? Or just a christian in name? When i used to watch football, i knew hin and his hairstyle. Will any Jesus follow ever have such hairstye? Why all the celebrations and lies all over as if any change has really taken place? Even if the whole world turns to muslims, God will still remain God and His judgement will not change!

tartar9:
"do not think i have come to bring peace,but the sword" (matthew10:34).good you know who the thief and destroyer is.

you deliberately lie agains Jesus. Jesus uses a lot of parables and you knew before posting the rubbish. How many people did Christ of His disciples killed? Tell us. And, also, how many people did muhamad and his follower kill? No sane man will translate the sword to the type muhamad used, as it is dipicted on saudi arabia flag. Word of God is a 'two-edged SWORD'.

I Praise the Lord for all goodness to me.

A thief comes not, but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Only Jesus comes so man can have eternal life.

ashson:
Abusing anybody is not the way out. Muslims Love and respect Jesus, but why the Christians hate Muhammad?

muslims may 'love and respect' isa, not Jesus in the Bible. Allah, muhamad and muslims hate Jesus Christ of the Bible. Jesus says that whoever divorces his wife, except for the sin of fornication (note that adultery is commited by married people only, fornication is before marriage) commits adultery and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Muhamad married his adopted sodn's wife. This was commanded and approved by allah! Even the isa in the quran was far better than muhamad who was a caravan raider, liar, mass murderer, peadopine, etc etc. Quran states that isa made bird from clay and gave life to it, raised the dead, but muhamad killed and took people lives in thousands. Yet muslims claim muha is the best of mankind!! What a tragedy!!!

No
