midnighter: O only responded to what was worth responding to. The rest was total hogwash formulated by men of ancient times. Majority of your faith is not based in what Jesus (PBUH) said, rather it's what the early church have decided to brainwash people with. It's no wonder that Christianity is the fastest depreciating religion(Google it), the same Europeans that enslaved our ancestors' minds with cockandbull stories are leaving Christianity in their masses. Once again, use your mind. It's a gift we must put to good use. Thanks for the good wishes |

midnighter: The bolded part of your response is exactly what you're doing, in case you haven' t realised it. The bible said Jesus said he's the way the...., that doesn't make him a deity, neither does it mean he's the sole way to heaven. He was sent as means to God for the people at the time. You need to read the earliest history of Christianity. It hasn't always been a trinitarian religion. The earliest Christians didn't believe in what you people believe today. They believe in the Oneness of God and Jesus was inspired by Him. The Trinity was something developed in the 4th century, some 300 years after his passing. In the process, they rewrote and twisted the gospels to fit their trinitarian idea. Why anyone would want to stake their belief on an illogical principle invented by a council of men in the ancient times is seriously beyond me. Put your education to good use and do some research. Use your mind and don't be blind-sighted by emotions. Peace. |

midnighter: Yeah I was expecting that. That message was meant for the people at that period of time, not for all of mankind. Why would god wait for thousands of years before sending what you claim is the sole way to salvation? What was the criteria for salvation for the people before Jesus? What did Jesus (peace be upon him) himself say about eternal life?: John 17:3 Eternal life is knowing there is ONE GOD and Jesus, whom HE HAS SENT. The way, truth and life simply means he (Jesus, PBUH) has been sent to show the children of Israel the WAY, with the TRUTH and guide them with his LIGHT to the one true God. This can be said for ALL prophets and messengers God sent to all of humanity from the beginning of time. |

midnighter: Jesus is the only way to God? You people are just funny. So what happened to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses who came before Jesus? Where are they now? Jesus never said anywhere in the bible that he's the only way to God. Name one verse in your bible where he said that. Most of your theology is not really backed up by the scriptures. You just take a verse and give it an entirely different meaning. |

Roycemadeit: Ok, I understand . The creation of our bodies is perfect. How network of blood vessels, hormones and enzymes which performs specific functions without interfering with one another, the general complexity of our anatomy is one of the signs of the perfection of God's creation. However we were created with the freewill to make our own decisions. As a result we're susceptible to occasional sins and transgressions. But the important thing is to seek repentance from these sins and try to live in accordance to the command of God. 1 Like |

midnighter: What principles is your God sticking to? Islam never stated we were created perfect, perhaps you misunderstood whoever told you. What Islam states is we were all born with a natural disposition (fitrah) to worship 1 God. But society changes this perspective as we grow. If you'll open your mind and search for the truth it'll come to you by the permission of Allah. @bolded nothing is impossible for God, change that notion now!!!! In fact this is why I say our ideas of God are completely different. The biblical God rested after 7 days of creation, claims to be omnipresent, yet didn't know Adam had eaten from the tree, regretted creating humans . Regret means helplessness(what an insult), also needs a human sacrifice to forgive sins I can go on and on. You religion actually diminished the greatness of the Creator and you guys aren't paying attention. |

Daejoyoung: It's not a problem for us. Were indeed glad to have such a gem in our lives. It's a treasure you keep exploring. The linguistic miracles, facts later discovered by modern scientists and some recent discoveries (eg male and female is mentioned exactly 23 times each. We have 23 male and female chromosomes). These things make us have a deeper appreciation of our religion and it strengthens our faith. Again how can you be sure a book authored by men with errors can be absolutely factual about God? |

themonk: Scientists have opined that the concept of creation, of being came as a result of the big bang. What force that caused this cannot subject to it's effect. So God is the Creator that is not created.. Who created the multiverse? He's Rabbil alameen ( Lord of the Worlds) Anyone that says that their God created the universe should come forward with substantive proof. Besides the big bang described in the Qur'an, the Qur'an also mentions how mountains are like stakes to stabilise the Earth, how iron was sent down, how the moon is a reflective light and many more. These were revealed centuries before science discovered these facts. Note the the Qur'an is not a book of science. . No, I'll never tell anyone that all religions have the same God. I've studied the concept of God in most religions, honestly none makes much sense except Islam. I'm not saying this cos I'm Muslim. I wasn't even raised Muslim. Read the book :The bible, the Qur'an and science by French scientist Dr. Maurice Bucaille, where he compared both books from a scientific perspective. |

Daejoyoung: Exactly we are humans, we're prone to making errors. Any scripture inspired by the God Almighty cannot be incorrect. No, God never authored a book. Rather He inspired His Prophets with the scriptures to guide their people to worship none but Him. These scriptures were later corrupted by human hence the errors. The Qur'an is the final scripture of God to mankind. Allah Himself said it'll be protected from corruption. |

DeepSight: Look again at the universe, look at the creation of your own self, can you name any imperfections? The world is such a complex creation yet everything is in perfect balance if we were to be a few inches closer to the sun we'd all roast. Same with our body systems, our complex network of cells organs and systems all working together on perfect harmony and balance. These are signs for us to ponder upon. The imperfections we see in our world today are all man-made. |

themonk: It has come to my understanding that most atheists and critics of religions only do so by criticizing the Christian perspective of God and what the bible says. Your statement that God believes he was not created is weird. How can you tell what God believes? Anyways Islam has its own explanation of God and how the world came into being. Science theorised that the universe was created by an expansion which lead to a big bang. This is also stated in the Qur'an. The question now is what lead to this big bang?. Newton's first law of motion states that an external force causes an effect on an object. Whatever force that caused the big bang is definitely outside of this universe. Also note that whatever causes an effect has no resemblance to the effect it has caused. Let me explain better. When you blow a balloon, it expands. The expansion is as a result of the air pressure inside the balloon. The air(cause) has no resemblance whatsoever with the balloon's expansion (effect). In the same vein, the Creator of the universe bears no resemblance to any of the effects of His cause. Q112.4 states 'and there is nothing like unto Him'. Any religion that gives their 'god' a human identity is nothing but a sham. I'll really urge the OP and others to please study Islam with a non biased mind. Forget about all this propaganda of Isis and Boko haram. It's all plot to cause chaos and divert people from the truth. |

midnighter: We were created with imperfections. It's on our natural disposition to falter once in a while. But God is kind, merciful, forgiving and accepts sincere repentance. All you need to do is repent and try as hard as possible not to fall into that sin again. Even if you do, there's still room for repentance as long as you're alive and sincere in your intention. Yes, my parents and people I've offended have forgiven my offences as I have also forgiven those who offended without attaching any conditions or punishment. Anyone who's forgiveness is based on punishment or retribution is nothing but a vindictive and horrible person. Are you? If you buy a device and the manual is filled with errors and items inconsistent with the device you've purchased, would you be convinced that it's the manufacturer that wrote the manual? Anyone without sound knowledge of the product could have sneaked the manual into the package. Such is the case of the bible. Why would you call a book with errors was inspired by God. God is not the author of confusion. |

Eskiss ma, who exactly offended this 'strange woman' , you or your husband? Seems she's hell bent on punishing YOU, not him. Think about it, if she really wanted to punish him, then his thing would not rise at all for any woman. If this had been the case ehn.... he'll join you on 40 days dry fast and every deliverance service imaginable . But seems the 'witch' did him some kind of favour and is punishing YOU. Why?? Madam, this whole thing seems like some bs your husband concocted to send you on a wild goose chase while he fornicates around shamelessly. I won't even be surprised if he charmed himself not to be able to perform with you but with basically anyone in skirt. The world has gone crazy, there's no limit to the evils human beings are capable of. You need a break from that environment. Make yourself and kids your main priority. There's nothing wrong in praying for a fulfilled marriage even if this one fails. Single mothers with 4 kids are remarrying, nothing is impossible. Not all men are worth the stress and heartache. 3 Likes |

midnighter: Why do sins need to be atoned for. Why does god need an innocent human sacrificed to atone for the guilty? Can't he just simply forgive? If forgiveness has to be conditional, then it's not forgiveness anymore, it's basically some kind of revenge. Parts of the Bible may be divine. But it has been written and rewritten over the centuries by men to fulfill their theological desires. The result of this is a book filled with errors and inconsistencies. How could God have created light on the first day, the sun and moon on the fourth? If these monumental errors, which science has come to disprove, are wrong, why then should we believe other parts of the same book? Jesus(peace be upon him) never came to preach Christianity. He came to preach the Oneness of his Lord. That's the same Lord we worship. 2 Likes |

englishmart: What makes you believe that studying the Qur'an is a waste of time? It isn't the same as the Bible you know... Most Muslims aren't facing the challenges you listed in your opening post because: 1) It doesn't make sense that eternal life is dependent on some god-man, who never claimed deity btw. 2) there's no contradiction or inconsistencies in the Qur'an if you read it carefully. 3) I don't think any religion out there tells you to just pray and do nothing towards the achievement of what you're praying for. Tie your camel and put your trust in God. 4) Again, religion isn't some guarantee that you won't go through trials and tribulation. The children of Israel suffered for centuries under Egyptian rule, where they were enslaved and their sons killed. God's description of that period was 'and it this was a huge trial from their Lord'. Belief in God is not for the sole purpose of enrichment. Not that you shouldn't strive and work hard to live a comfortable life. 5 Likes 1 Share |

This has nothing to do with the devil, rather we see it as a divine decree from Allah. He has stated the Qur'an that we'll face all forms of trials from fear to hunger and loss of wealth, lives and fruits(of labour) Q 2.155. Please be patient and keep praying. Indeed God is with the patient. Also note that God doesn't burden a soul beyond it's capacity 2:286.

Google the letter of Pope Urban to the crusaders, where he told the barbarians to kill all the infidels in Jerusalem, young, old, animal, EVERYTHING ALIVE. All the recent killings they want to attribute to Islam are just propaganda. Nowhere does it stated the Muslims should go out and mindlessly kill innocent people, continue to misquote the Qur'an.

Hint : it doesn't mean God. Jesus was spoken of in high regards in the Qur'an, as were the other prophets of God. The one that the Prophet Mohammad(saw) being in doubt of what was revealed to him was just a rhetoric. Also note the earlier scriptures mentioned were the originals, not the ones contaminated by the hands of men.

AbuTwins: Almost 2 billion people akhi and growing rapidly daily. Let's talk about the Lords prayer originally taught by Jesus, their god... Jesus taught his people this prayer, no mention of the trinity in the entire prayer . Some decades later some people came to add the 'grace' to what Jesus taught. They say the lord's prayer without the grace is as good as invalid.

Any report of the Prophet(saw) beheading any Jew or christian is a pure lie. The lived together peacefully in Madinah after the migration. It's worthy of note though that some Jews attempted to kill the Prophet, so they were sentenced to death. No, they were not up to 600 o. Prophet Muhammad didn't die from the poisoned meat at khaybar. He lived on for about four years after the incident, even married 3 wives, conquered Mecca from the pagans and went for Hajj all during the period . The name of the of Jewish lady that gave him the poisoned meat was not Safiyah, That was the name of one of his wives. Where do you people get these lies from . Since the Jews and christians in Madinah lived together with the Muslim immigrants, it was common for the hosts to give gifts to their guests. The Prophet gladly accepted her gift and ate the meat but he didn't die from the poison. He died of natural causes. Take a dictionary and check the meaning of 'Messiah'. It doesn't mean God, rather it means anointed One destined the Children of Israel. The stories of Jesus in the Qur'an can be found in Surahs 3, 5 and 17.

AgentNairaland: How was it propounded by the Jews? Please provide scriptural proof? The Jews, like Muslims, believe in 1 God and think the concept of the trinity is ridiculous. Some even call it paganism. I can provide youtube links of Rabbis explaining such. How can Jesus be God and not know the last day? How can Satan try to deceive Jesus on a mountain, a god? Lazarus has been dead for 4 days, Jesus had no knowledge of it till he was told, then he wept God wept . Please go to your bible and read what Jesus said to the people after Lazarus was brought back to life by the will of HIS LORD. Jesus mentioned in multiple places in the bible that he was sent. By who? We have no problems being identified as the slaves of Allah, the Greatest, Creator of the Heavens and earth, the Ever-living. Jesus saying he and his father are 1 doesn't make him God. There's a difference between saying 'we are one' and 'we are the same'. Saying we are one means we're united in purpose e.g the song with the lyrics: we are family, we are one' Would we then conclude the the composer is saying we are the same? Jesus prayed with his face to the ground, like a slave to his master. He never saw himself as an equal to Almighty God. Go read the book by ex Christian scholar Bart Ehrman 'How Jesus became God'.
