Nigerians don't have chills for anyone.


GMB should have avoided making the same mistake GEJ and NOI made on twitter.
Atleast he should have learnt from the last administration when it comes to hypocrisy on twitter.

tylerbraid:
Its either you are trying to make me talk more about them for reasons best known to you but for security reasons, I won't & I can't be drawn to argument with you. Obviously looking for attention, bye!

No attention is being sought. It's fact!
The Ladipo triplets are based in Lagos. I won't say much more cause of security reasons aswell.
You should stop saying things you are not sure of.

tylerbraid:
stop saying what u don't know, u nigerians can be so weird. Must everything be about the money? The triplets stay in the same army barracks estate (Abuj)a with me & they're average, the 3 of them share a black mercedes benz c300. They are getting married for love not money, they've dated over 4yrs.

Why are you lying?!

The triplets stay in Lekki, Lagos and they don't share vehicles. They have their own cars. The one that got engaged sell cars.
Even though the girl and the guy may not be together because of money, I believe they are a perfect match for each other.
And yes I know them very well.

Rexyl:
He was asking you the reason why Mohammed has no history unlike Abraham, Moses and David those who God called with a promise that points to arrival of the Messiah. It is still difficult to understand where Mohammed was placed in God's plan concerning the Messiah or about the future. You can help clarify this using Old Testament Bible only.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Old Testament:

The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157:

"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel".

MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY:


Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.

If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after
Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will
fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.

However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh):


i)

Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention.

[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]


ii)
Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.

iii)
Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158)


Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).

Words in the mouth:

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from Almighty God he repeated them verbatim.

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

[Deuteronomy 18:18]


iv)
Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment. Jesus (pbuh) said, "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36).

v)
Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime but Jesus (pbuh) was rejected by his
people. John chapter 1 verse 11 states, "He came unto his own, but his own received him not."

iv)
Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not bring any new laws. (Mathew 5:17-18).

2.
It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19


"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."


3.
Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:


It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:

"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."

When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned".


4.
prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentioned by name in the old testament:


Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16:

"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem."

"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters
of Jerusalem."

In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present.


Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the New Testament:

Al-Qur'an Chapter 61 Verse 6:

"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.' But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, 'This is evident sorcery!' "

All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians.


1.
John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

2.
Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."

3.
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:


"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".

"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the
Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the
Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures.

Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise
that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the
Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh).


4.
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:

"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".

The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy referes to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Annunaki:
Are you just plain daft or deliberately ignorant These people practised the jewish religion called judaism and not islam. That said neither Judaism nor christianity associates partners with God. In christianity Jesus is The son of God and not partner. And in islam you don't worship the true God but the adversary who was pretending to be God, go get your facts right.

If you can't quote me without insulting, don't quote me again.
Educate your ignorance.
Peace

lordnicklaus:
Abraham, Moses, David practised Judaism not Islam. Islam is a pagan based religion based on myths and legends, imagine the belief in Jinns which are borrowed from Babylonian myths. Christianity and Judaism are based on actual history while Islam is based on myths and legends....

Abraham, Moses and David Jews?!
All of them submitted and worshipped One God without associating partners in worship with him.
And the only religion with that definition is Islam.
Please educate your ignorance about Islam.

promisechuks:
Why are you a devilish lair?

Please, show us the genealogy of mohammed linking to all especially jesus. Can you?

While all are jews, why was mohammed an arab?

Others were godly, but mohammed is the worst of mankind?

Others declared yaweeh as their God but mohammed allah, why?

Man, you better wake up and follow jesus.

Educate your ignorance Mr. Man.
Cause you have a different believe as I do doesn't make you right.
Allah is God in Arabic. Olorun is God in Yoruba. Chineke is God in Igbo.
There is only one God and he is over all things competent.
He begets not neither was he beggotten. There's nothing comparable to him. God is not man.
Worship God not man.

God guides he whom he wills to the straight path. Islam is the path of Abraham,Moses, David, Jesus, and Mohammed. They all submitted to the will of God and ascribed no partners with him.
May God forgive us all and guide us to the straight path.

Capital punishment should be given to anyone involved in corruption. That would sporadically reduce the level when some people are made scape goats.

But is this country ready for capital punishment?! I don't think so, because the rights we have over the government they have refused to provide such as constant electricity, good roads, good health care amost others. Even though that doesn't justify being corrupt.

Before we can change the condition of this country we have to change the condition within our own selves. How do we so that?! We follow procedure and stand against corruption same way the OP did.

OP the corruption on those desk at MMIA is disgusting. And it's been like that for a long time. More like corporate beggers in uniform. They know what is right but they feel it's their post of assignment and if they are not sharp about it they can't make it in life with the salary they are being paid by the FG.

Kudos OP!

Man know man.

When they made the recruitment public there were too many applications and casualties.

But corruption in this country has passed breaking point.

Please Mr Zuma advise MTN to pay up the fine sir.

May Allah forgive him his sins and grant him Jannah

0rex:
How do you as a person manage to achieve these two incompatible things?

It's possible.
1. I am a muslim
2. I ensure to be within limits of what my creator enjoined and avoid what he forbids.
3. I pray on time and give charity.
4. I try my best to avoid being corrupt.
5. I work hard to make money and hope God opens a greater means of sustenance for me whilst still being grateful for all He has done.
6. I try to be just even though no man is perfect.

At the end if the day God is the one who decides who is successful and who is not.
God is the one that knows when, how and where we are going to die.
God is the one who does as he wills by His power and ability and decree as He wants by his majesty and honour.

The life of this world is nothing but a temporary place of delusion in which competition in worldly affairs diverts us until we visit the grave.

All the hustle to become this and that becomes a thing of the past with death.
Engr./Dr./Barrister. ....becomes 'the body' in death.

Hustle hard like you'll live forever and live a righteous life like you'll die tomorrow.

harizonal123:
You want us to believe Muslims are the true worshippers of God! To fall on one's face and to kneel down with your face on the floor are they the same?

Believe what you want to believe. The truth stands clear.

Montaque:
Wow. You need to learn why jesus rebuked the pharisee n the scribes. If bowing down is your focal point, you aren't less a pharisee.
We preach internal renewal not ceremonious worship.
Happy Sunday.

The truth stands clear from falsehood. I believe in Jesus and I love him. But I worship He who sent Jesus.

phanshark:
just like the quran, the bible is not just the book you understand wit ur college decree, the written words are called logos, why the meaning is called rehma, every body can understand the logos,but not every one can understand the rehma (the meaning). Both in quran and bible there is logos and rehma. My prayer is may god keep on giving us the rehma & in the logos (amen)

Thanks for your prayer. May God guide us all to the straight path.

WiseBully:
Seun, is this not an affront on Christianity? Why should this dude be allowed to derail a Christian thread with Islamic postulations? This is disgusting, demeaning and contemptuous.

Mr Wise, I'm on the thread and you can't Bully me out because I said what is in the bible.
I never insulted anyone so Mr Seun wouldn't support your statement.
Thank you

[quote author=zainabxel post=43526627][/quote]God bless you.

phanshark:
why always raising issues like this? instead of asking god 2 reveal the truth about Christians 2 u, but u choose 2 follow the majority opinion. Now this is what i believe, i believe that Muslims are the descendant of Ishmael & god promise him his own descendant, which 2day are known as Muslims, & god says he (Ishmael) hand's shall be on every man & every man shall be on him, that's why we are having this trouble everywhere. Now u can choose as a Muslim 2 be among the ones fighting order people 4 there faith or be the bridge builder so we can calm the situations among our brothers. Can this be stop? 2 me d answer is no. But we can always have a temporary solution 2 this problem's. The choice is yours 2 be a bridge builder as a Muslim. thanks 4 ur wishish & remain bless

Thank you
Like I said " To you is your religion and to me is mine"
I read your scripture and it has further strengthened my faith as a muslim.
No one is fighting anyone. I only said what the bible said or are you referring to something else?!

phanshark:
. They don't worship god the way they should,but god still speak 2 them & answers there prayers,protect them 4rm those that claim 2 know god. they are at peace with everybody but not with those that claim 2 know god, cause those that say they know god don't show that they know god, cause they claim 2 know god, but by there fruit they(Christian's)know that those people don't know god as they claim. You have your own & i have my own, (lakumdi lakumdi wali iddini) pls run ur race i run my race.LET NO MAN TROUBLE ME 4 I BEAR THE MARK OF CHRIST. hv a peace full day ahead & God bless you.

No one is fighting with you sir.
To you is your religion and to me is mine.
Do have a blessed day aswell. God bless you abundantly.

DrayZee:
That is the way they did it at that time not a prescription from the Bible.
If that's the way it's supposed to be, that means everybody in the New Testament: the disciples, Paul, even Jesus were all doing nonsense.
Don't say what you don't understand.

Every prophets mentioned in the monotheistic religions used this Way of saying thanks or praying to GOD, the postures use is also beneficial when you are at a mediated state of mind (also it improves your respiratory functions which is miraculous) since this question is specific on Jesus, in Islamic context we believe he worshipped GOD in this way, as Muslim believes he was not lord himself as there is one God! However prior to Jesus many prophets before him prayed in this way.

However, please see below references to illustrates the same :

11. Not worshipping God the way the Bible prescribed

Nehemiah 8New International Version (NIV)

8
1 all the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel.

2 So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand. 3 He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.

4 Ezra the teacher of the Law stood on a high wooden platform built for the occasion. Beside him on his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah and Maaseiah; and on his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

5 Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. 6 Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

7 The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there. 8 They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear[a] and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read.
