Poster, what's the big deal about all these 'proofs'? Have they passed the litmus test? Are they fact or farce?U know we have fotoshops etc. Your pictures have not discredited the fact that Islam is a monotheistic religion. Yes,that is a fact ISLAM IS A MONOTHEISTIC RELIGION! But,is it the religion that leads us to the true God? Do its adherents worship the true God or even know the God they are worshipping? |
Funny,the Poster is yet to make some comments on all of these.Comments are just flying left,right and centre and he is enjoying the show and twiddling his thumbs ![]() Ayinba1, I have no interest in Islam whether they preach peace or terrorism and it doesn't hange me in the least ie I dont feel better/good.What I presented is Islam as it is (Q.E.D.),Moh'd and Allah wrote ur book.If u think Islam has been put down,ask Mohammed!!! |
Ayinba1, there is no turn around here for me.Is it because I presented Islam-cum-terorism as it truly is that you now say I'm not being objective? Seems to me that u are a 'moderate' muslim .Surah 2:216 ' Fighting is obligatory to u as much as you dislike it' Surah 2:191 ' Kill all unbelievers wherever u find them, ' Surah 8:65 'Fight the unbelievers, until no other religion than Islam is left (Surah 2:193) Surah 47:4 ' When u meet unbelievers,smite at their necks, ' Surah 9:29 ' Fight against those who have been given the scripture (jews and xtians), and forbid not, until they pay the tribute readily,being brought low' Need I say more? There are many more u can check in your copy of the Qu'ran. They are not my fabrications.In this era of political correctness,we all want to be 'careful' and avoid stepping on toes but the truth must be told. Islamic terrorists have been given a pat on the back for their terrorism by Allah and Mohammed. Xtians who do similar stuff have God's wrath to face unless they repent. The Poster's question is directed at Xtians and we have been able to provide answers for him/her.Apart from the furore generated over which religion has terrorists or not, I doubt if any Muslim can show us from the Qu'ran that we should love our enemies . |
I think the Poster's question is quite clear and it needs a straightforward answer.We have digressed form the topic and need to answer the poster. Q : Is it biblical to hate Muslims especially terrorists? A : No,it isn't biblical to hate muslims,terrorists or anyone for that matter because we as Xtians have been called to love our fellow man,love our enemies,pray for those who persecute us or despitefully use us (Matt 5:43-48).It can be really difficult to love one's enemies when they hurt us,but it isnt impossible as long as we let God have His way through us. All that digression on Muslims being terrorists and Xtians being terorists is not really neccessary because of the following : (a) any terrorist act carried out by any so-called Xtian starting from the Crusades (they did theirs for political aggrandisement) ,to Anti-abortionists and all what noughts has no Biblical backing/sanctioning. They are serving themselves and their acts do not please God nor do they get approval from Him.Some people say USA is the worst terrorist of all and that it is a Xtian nation.On the contrary,it isn't a Xtian nation ,it is a highly CAPITALISTIC country that looks for what it will gain be it Oil or military might/arsenal. (b) the Muslim terrorists on the other hand,have a Qu'ranic backing for their acts.There is a plethora of approval of such acts in the Qu'ran.'Moderate' Muslims call such terrorist 'extremists' but they are not extremists in the true sense! They are Muslims (Q.E.D) and are just following what their holy book says.The Moderate Muslims are embarrassed with all the bombings ,hijackings and all what noughts and they quickly say such acts are 'extremists' which isn't so.To Non-Muslims such acts are labelled 'terrorism' but to true Muslims,that is Islam for you. We Xtians love our fellow men and we will pray for and forgive those who hurt us (even if we r dying,we will forgive and not curse). |
Ayinba1, I'm not saying that the disciple was a terrorist.I was just completing the story about Jesus and the use of sword in that physical fight against one's enemies is condemned by Jesus.He rightly said that His kingdom isnt of this world. |
olabowale:Olabowale, do u also remember that when Mohammed was dying,he cursed both the Jews and the Christians? Does that spell forgiveness to u (considering the Jewish woman who poisoned him)? Is that love,whether tough love or moimoi love? |
ayinba1:Even when one of Jesus' captors' ear was cut off by a disciple,Jesus healed that man's ear! Can u imagine that even in the face of death,He was still healing.Ever heard of such love? It is wrong to hate terrorists or muslims,what must be hated are the terrorists' acts. |
ayinba1:Ayinba1, did u also read that the disciple who cut off someone's ear was rebuked by Jesus?Does that not show that Jesus is against physical fight/terrorism and all what nought? |
nossycheek:What's your point? Are u saying we should curse our enemies?What's d relationship between the figtree and the robbers? ![]() |
[b][/b] I see you here,I see you there,are u twice? |
Littleb, I made the assumption earlier on that u were a Xtian,my mistake .I also made the assumption that if 'Law' is written,by the rules of English Language,it is used to qualify something eg Law of Moses ,Law of Gravity etc becos it is written in capitals. I dont want to get into any more arguments with u becos u have shown thus far how adept u r with the Mosaic Law and the Christian faith.U probably cleaned ur laws with blood from wherever and whoever .If u think u have a good grounding of the Law and Christianity (not a smattering pls),show it abeg in line with this thread-no digressions . |
littleb: |
littleb:Littleb, let's be honest with ourselves here : u have not read Acts 15:1-30. If u have,you would have noted that Paul and Barnabas were the 'errand boys' who were sent to Jerusalem with the issue at hand to meet with the Apostles in Jerusalem.Peter spoke on God's love for us Gentiles while James 'hammered' the solution to the whole issue and there the matter rests.Part of the resolution is that Genties should abstain from fornication.Pls do yourself a favour-read my post and digest the Bible quotation I gave ![]() littleb:Religiosity/culture pale in significance with what Christ has done for us who choose to accept Him.Whether u wear trousers or not,ur relationship with Christ is wot matters.Whether u go along with ur culture/religious views,na u sabi.Mind u I never advocated indecent dressing( u are myopic).Ever1 is free to choose wot she wants to do ie wear trousers or not.Just be decent about it bearing in mind that u have been bought with a price(Jesus' death). In the same vein,if any woman does not wear trousers becos she feels the Bible is against it,she can as well go the whole hog by obeying the whole Law and tell God indirectly that the blood of Jesus wasn't enuff to free her from the Law .Any personal opinion against wearing trousers by females should be taken as they are-PERSONAL OPINIONS. |
Littleb, littleb:Jesus did all that was required of the Law but I really can't remember Him saying that I as His daughter have to fulfill the Law. In all honesty,have u been able to do all the Law says? There are 613 of them o!Where have u been doing ur burnt offerings/votive offerings etc? In my post(pls re-read it) I wrote that '[b][/b], bearing in mind that our dressing should be in modesty and in propiety'.Ur yarns on tight and sexy jeans do not come in here becos I've addressed it already. When Jesus died,the curtain of the Temple was torn.Wot does dat signify to u as a Christian ( I presume u are 1)? |
In the book of Acts,while the Church was being established ([/b]ACTS CHAP 15:1-30 ),a sect of believing Pharisees said that it was necessary to circumcise believing Gentiles and to command them to keep the Law of Moses ( v.5).This argument was the basis of the first ecumenical council in Jerusalem . The Apostles resolved that Gentiles should ', abstain from pollution of idols,and from fornication,and from things strangled,and from blood.' ([b] Acts 15: 20). The Apostles realised that the Law was burdensome and even themselves Jews could not keep the Law,and that there was no point telling Gentiles to keep it. Whether u wear trousers or not,do it all to God's glory.There should be no condemnation of any woman who chooses to wear trousers (bearing in mind that our dressing should be done with modesty and propiety).It is wrong for any Christian who has a personal bias against wearing trousers to impose his/her opinions on others. Those who advocate that women should not wear trousers usually thrive well in 9ja,but change their minds when they come to the UK/US or any other cold country becos the cold makes them have this volte-face . |
It is true that wearing the other sex's garments is condemned in the Bible,but we have to note that it is part of the Mosaic Law.The Law was given to the Israelites and does not apply to Gentiles( you and I).Let us also remember that in that chapter,there were other laws which were given and are not talked/argued about becos those who carry a placard saying 'Women should not wear trousers' are myopic.They would rather 'subjugate'women than look inwards and realise that they themselves they break other parts of the Law too (like wearing grments of 2 textile materials,eating seafood dat has no scales.not purifying themselves when they have a seminal emission/menstrual flow etc).Breaking a commandment in the Law is the same as breaking the whole Law. The death of Jesus on the cross was to redeem us from sin and free us from the Law.Any1 who understands the message of the Cross should not put himself/herself or cause some1 else to be under the Law again. |
MC Usman:MC Usman, u r just parroting Ahmed Deedat! |
ijebuman:Ijebuman, God bless u 'repete'tiously for those links jare.God's words re-echo again : 'MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE'. |
All the money in this world isn't enough to thank God with.Remember that He owns both the silver and the gold.What is important is that u give with a cheerful heart,appreciating Him and not grudgingly.The state of ur heart is what He looks at not your 20 Naira or 2 million Naira. Giving to God does not begin and end in the church,it encompasses those around u who are in need,for He has rightly said that giving to the poor is lending to Him.In the same vein,giving to those in need should be done cheerfully and not grudgingly . |
Does God come down from Heaven to take the money in the offertory? |
Apart from taxing the RCCG members,how about the additional carbon footprint that will be generated I thought the LORD said 'Be fruitful,multiply and [b][/b]REPLENISH the earth'. |
Grouppoint:Oh yes,it was ONLY recorded that He ate bread ,fish and wine.But it wasn't recorded that He ate ONLY bread,fish and wine!!! Grouppoint,the Jewish people had lots of stuff for their diet so Jesus couldnt have eaten only bread,fish and wine(my God,what a boring meal |
@ Subzeero, I hope u know that meat from cows,goats,sheep can also pass infestations to man.Not all the diseases u listed are limited to pigs If u dont' like to eat pork,keep it to yourself.As Christians,we r under no obligation to abhor pork.If any1 refuses to eat pork,it's a PERSONAL thing,not a RELIGIOUS injunction. |
'The God of Oyedepo' @ Poster, Oyedepo allowed the people to yarn this nonsense intro in their prayers Hmmm, he thinks he's a demi-god |
What's happening here? I thought Jesus' colour was being discussed here . @babs787 and ayinba, I whole-heartedly agree with you on what the Quran says about Prophet Isa.Actually,there is no other source of information on Prophet Isa than the Quran.The Bible pales in this area when compared with the Quran.Jesus,whose name in Hebrew is Yehoshua,is found in the Bible-prophecies of His coming,His ministry,His sayings,death,resuurection etc.Etymologically speaking,Isa and Yehoshua are different.Have u ever considered the fact that Arabic and Hebrew being semitic languages have similar words for the same thing?For example,David-Dawud,Moses-Musa,Mary-Mariam and a lot more.But when it comes to Yehoshua,we get something different Isa and Yehoshua/Jesus(in Greek) are not the same person.Where did Moh'd/Allah get dat name from ![]() |
@ Bolasunmi, did u ever consider the context in which Jesus spoke with the Pharisees?Do u know that when Jesus was on earth the Mosaic Law was still operational?Do u also know that the death of Jesus brought an end to the Law? Have u ever wondered how tithing was being done in the past?Have u ever asked yourself whether Jesus,His disciples ever tithed?Have u ever studied the Acts of the Apostles to see how the early church organised itself? Please enlighten us more on the type of church to pay tithes to bolasunmi: |
Christmas has its origin in pagan festivals of the Romans and Babylonians.Pope Julius, in a bid to make the conversion of the pagans into christianity easier,adopted this pagan festival of Saturnalia and christened it 'Christmas'.Christmas was not recorded in the Bible because the Jews never celebrated birthdays unlike their neighbours(Herod celebrated his birthday and gave his niece John the Baptist's head for a present).The December 25th date is quite absurd 'cos no shepherd would be watching his flock on a cold winter night.Check this link http://www.essortment.com/all/christmaspagan_rece.htm All the pictures of 'Jesus'amaze me o.All I see is a Hollywood star or an effeminate-looking man.They are all artists' renditions of a Caucasian(bias of the artists).Blond,blue-eyed Jesus from Nazareth Abegi,joo!If any artwork should be done,He should be made to look like the Pakistanis, Isrealis,Palestinians with a dark skin colour and rugged-looking face.Besides,why do an artwork of Him,if at all the people who saw Him could draw and paint? It would only make people worship and venerate this so-called image (it's already being done sef,I forgot). |
@ Jekad, the similarity between the Corban story and this tithes/relative scenario is that we Xtians want to show God that we love Him and can obey His commandments to the letter but we don't realise that love for Him is demonstrated by how we love our fellow humans. |
Jekad,it is a similar question to the tithe vs relative's life.See d similarity |
@ Jekad,this question of paying ur tithe vs saving ur relative's life has been answered by Jesus years ago when He talked about the issue of corban with the pharisees in Mark 7:1-13 |
@ Jekad, I hope u know that not every Xtian with all their faith in God's healing power get healed by Him.Some of us Xtians will be cured thru our doctors,some will be healed by God and some will not get any healing from God.The fact that one isnt' healed by God doesn't necessarily mean that one doesn't have enough faith ,nor does it undermine God's power.Tithing is not a prerequisite for your acceptability before God.The truth is that when the situation stares at you in the face,u will reconsider the tithes. |
I respect every1's opinion on this o,but for those who assert that paying ur tithes to God takes priority over your relative's life ,let's rephrase the questions as this : [b][/b]YOU ARE ABOUT TO GO TO CHURCH WITH YOUR TITHES AND YOU DEVELOP A SUDDEN MEDICAL EMERGENCY THAT NEEDS A SURGEON TO OPERATE ON YOU IMMEDIATELY OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR LIFE.THE FEES FOR THE SURGERY AND OTHER MEDICAL BILLS AMOUNTS TO THE TITHES TOU WANT TO PAY.NOW WILL U SORT OUT YOUR HEALTH WITH THIS TITHE MONEY OR WILL U HAVE FAITH IN GOD TO HEAL YOU SO THAT U CAN PAY THE TITHE TO HIM AT A LATER DATE AFTER U ARE HEALED? Oya,ngwanu,over to the tithers . MALAMA: |
