truthman2013:what are you saying here ? Read all my post again, I say balaam is a gentile, what does that imply ? As a matter of fact, the bible does not even categorised him among a prophet, he was a soothsayer , another meaning of a soothsayer is prophet. a Jewish prophet/soothsayer. in my first post, I say miracle required faith and believe, what does that imply ? Faith is believing in God. The quran is the greatest miracle ? What about the bible? The torah the book given to Moses, its is only the muslims claimed the quran is the greatest miracle, how did muhammed received this book ? By a medium of satan . Did muhammed here directly from Allah ? |
truthman2013:did my post deny ,balaam is not a prophet ? Are you not a student? Did you not know the meaning of consistent ? Balaam is not consistent in his worship to God, at some points he seduce isreal to worship idols.The New Testament mentions Balaam three times, all negatively. Both Peter and Jude describe him as the personification of greed in using religion for personal gain (II Peter 2:15; Jude 11). Revelation 2:14 credits him with "the doctrine of Balaam," which is inducing others to sin, specifically to idolatry and sexual immorality. The bible constantly called him a soothsayer: Joshua 13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. and the verse went on to say the children of isreal slaw him together with God enemy. Did I say miracle is by human effort ? Did muhammed performed a single miracle ? Or even here directly from Allah? Provide a quranic verse. |
Aareonakakanfo:it is not wrong even if you cannot interprete it? Good for you (blind faith) good night. |
truthman2013:God prophet must not be a 'lukewarm' its is either you are for God or against God. So to you, performing miracle is by the effort of human ? All prophet performed miracle by the help of God, as a matter of fact , the bible say Sarah was barren until she bore Isaac. The truth is " miracle required faith and believe, Sarah believe but at some points she tarry but Abraham keep on believing until God here him" |
Aareonakakanfo:so you cannot interprete it but you just believe in it anyway? |
tintingz:lier ,provide the verse let us analysed it. |
truthman2013:yes, spirit of the Lord came upon him , infacte the Lord send an angel to prevent the donkey from taking to unwanted place.balaam is not CONSISTENT with his worship to God. You should continue reading the bible, chapter 31 say he was kill together with the Midianites by the isrealite. Okay, Abraham was a prophet but given birth to Isaac at good old age was a miracle. |
This verse proved muhammed is a false prophet : Surah 29:27: And (as for Abraham), We bestowed upon him Isaac and (Isaac’s son) Jacob, and caused prophethood and revelation to continue among his offspring. ALL prophet are to come from the descended of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, muhammed is an arab, he cannot be from the descended of the above name mention. |
Aareonakakanfo:did anyone ban you not to interpret it ? |
tintingz:Jesus a sinless man prophesied the coming of a sinner ? I rebuke you satan. There is NOT a single mention of muhammed in the bible, not even the word 'islam' was mention in the bible which strongly indicate muhammed introduced a false religion called islam. |
truthman2013:balaam was a gentile, some Jews believe he is not genuine , if you read the bible, balaam is not consistent in his worship to God, at some points he made prophecy just for his purpose. Number24:1 indicate he was a sorcerer. And then in number 31:9 say he was killed along with the Midianites by the Israelites . Christian do not recognised Abraham as a prophet, anyway, Abraham was 100years old when Isaac was born infacte Sarah was 75 when Isaac was born, this is miracle. |
tintingz:and also the Jews did not even know who muhammed is. They only knew him as "self proclaim prophet" |
tintingz:who prophesied the coming of muhammed ?God did not recognised the arab as people he will raised a prophet from their tribe, ALL the prophet mention are Jews with the exception of muhammed, why ? The quran indicate for every nation were given each prophet , why will the Jews produce soo many prophet? Even the quran indicate ALL prophet were to come from the descended of Abraham and to Isaac and Jacob, who are all Jews. What kind of miracle muhammed performed ? Splitting of the moon ?or miracle of the quran? ( sent down transmission) how is splitting of the moon a benefit to mankind? All the prophet that were given a book , David and Moses, none of them claimed it as a 'miracle' only muhammed. |

Now we will consider another serious problem in Islam. Surah 2:125: “And when WE MADE the House (at Mecca) a resort for mankind and sanctuary, (saying): Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham stood (to pray). And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael, (saying): Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship) .” (Pickthall) According to Islam, Allah is said to have built the Ka’ba centuries before the time of Judaism and Christianity. It was supposedly restructured later by Abraham and Ishmael. The Ka’ba also known as “Baitullah” means “House of Allah.” Now, how did the “House of Allah” which was “made by Allah” become a pagan temple housing 360 pagan idols? How can a House of God become a pagan Temple of Idols? Why did Allah allow this to occur to his place of worship? If the Ka’ba was the original “House of Allah” as the Qur’an asserts, then there is absolutely no logical or theological reason as to why Muhammad directed the first Qiblah towards Jerusalem – unless he believed that it was holier than the Ka’ba. Muhammad destroyed the rest of the idols at the conquest of Mecca but left the preeminent idol of the Ka’ba – the Black Stone – untouched. Why? It was simply due to deep-rooted subconsciousness brought on by years of submission to stone worship. He not only had to leave the Black Stone unharmed to represent Islam but he also kissed it to show his affection for the pagan stone. The Black Stone that was sacred to the pagans became sacred to the Muslims and is now revered by them. The kiss that the pious Muslim pilgrims bestow on the Black Stone is a survival of the old pagan practice, which was a form of stone worship in Arabia. While Christians can clearly see this as absolute idolatry, Islam is blind to this abomination. Even the Egyptian writer, Muhammad Husayn Haykal, who relies heavily on the works of Ibn Hisham, admitted in his book, The Life of Muhammad (p. 30): In fact, the Arabs venerated these stones so much that not only did they worship the black stone in the Ka’bah, but also they would take one of the stones of the Ka’bah as a holy object in their travels, praying to it and asking it to bless every move they made. Muhammad began and ended up with a pagan religion with the only difference being that he repackaged it in a monotheistic framework. The fact that many of the rituals performed in the name of Allah are connected to pagan worship shows that Islam was conceived in idolatry. Such practices are consistent with pre-Islamic pagan rituals involving the Ka’ba. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would never send a Black Stone for his followers to kiss. If God abhors even the bowing of his worshippers towards the living sun that was created by him, do you think he will command his worshippers to bow towards a dead Black Stone? Deuteronomy 4:19 clearly states: “You must not raise your eyes to the heavens and indeed see the SUN and the MOON and the STARS, all the army of the heavens, and actually GET SEDUCED AND BOW DOWN TO THEM.” |
Any hadith that do not translate in favour of islam is fabricated. During the early stages of his prophetic career in Mecca, Muhammad and his followers prayed towards Jerusalem. Even after their migration (hijra) to Medina, Muslims continued with this practice for about sixteen to seventeen months. its is only when Muhammad desired to pray towards the Ka’ba in Mecca that Allah, as usual, obliged and revealed the following Qur’anic verse: Surah (Al-Baqarah) 2:144: “We see the turning of thy face for guidance to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall PLEASED THEE . Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque : Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction.” (Yusuf Ali) And the hadith supported this: Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 392: Narrated Bara’ bin ‘Azib: Allah’s Apostle prayed facing Baitul- Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to face the Ka’ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: “Verily, We have seen the turning of your face to the heaven!” ( Surah 2 Al- Baqarah 144) So the Prophet faced the Ka’ba and the fools amongst the people namely “the Jews” said, “What has turned them from their Qibla (Bait-ul-Maqdis) which they formerly observed” (Allah revealed): “Say: ‘To Allah belongs the East and the West. He guides whom he will to a straight path’.” ( Surah 2 Al-Baqarah 142). Why did Muhammad express a desire to pray facing the Ka’ba while it remained a pagan shrine? At the time when Surah 2:144 was revealed to change the Qiblah from Jerusalem to Mecca,the Ka’ba was still a pagan shrine housing 360 pagan idols. Why would Allah permit his Prophet to bow towards the Ka’ba while it was still polluted with 360 pagan idols? The command given in the Qur’an to change the Qiblah predates by years the conquest of Mecca. Those idols were destroyed only after the conquest of Mecca. Thus, during all those intervening years, between the time the Qiblah was changed towards the Ka’ba and the conquest of Mecca, whenever Muhammad faced the Ka’ba to pray, the Ka’ba remained a shrine of idol worship. This is not an insignificant matter in terms of worship. Why was Muhammad not commanded to wait until the removal of those idols? Why did Allah submit to Muhammad’s desire and as a result make it a requirement for the early Muslims to bow towards the direction of the pagan idols? |
lexiconkabir:the scribes duties are to copies and NOT interpreter. The context was talking about false teacher and prophet, this concept was made known through out the scripture. To understand this verse you will have to read verse 8 and 9 together: “‘How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? 9 The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. SINCE THEY HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD , WHAT KIND OF WISDOM DO THE HAVE? The " THEY" where the one saying "we are wise" and they are the one who reject the word of God. Notice these same people are being said to have rejected the word of the Lord. This is very common throughout the OT those who are claiming to speak for God but are not. Malachi calls them out, Amos calls them out, and Jeremiah calls them out. It was a recurring theme. Note that scribes are not just writers of the law - they are teachers too. Especially at this time, there was a hefty oral tradition of interpretation that had added much to the Torah. In the New Testament, Jesus makes the same charge (Matthew 23): 13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. [14] [b]15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are. 16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it. 23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. Note: Some translations will even say "scribes and Pharisees" rather than "teachers of the Law and Pharisees." The King James, for example, says: 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. A scribe was also a teacher of the law. More modern translations clarify that aspect of the culture we no longer have. It isn't the pen, it is the oral additions. |

OgundeleT:the bible say God created All things for himself,including us ,and All this was to glorified Him: Romans 11:36 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. And the bible also say "we are created in His pleasure" so it may be hard to see how falling into sin bring the glory of God. The purpose of God creating us is to love him or reject him, Since everything else God planted in the garden was GOOD,the NATURAL choice of something to choose from would be knowledge of evil. God had to give Adam and Eve a choice. Without free will to choose, Adam and Eve would have been mere puppets. True love always requires choice. we are led to the following conclusions: 1. The fall of mankind was foreknown by God. 2. The crucifixion of Christ, the atonement for God’s elect, was foreordained by God. 3. All people will one day glorify God ( Psalm 86:9), and God purposes “to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ”( Ephesians 1:10). God’s purpose was to create a world in which His glory could be manifest in all its fullness. The glory of God is the overarching goal of creation. In fact, it is the overarching goal of everything He does. The universe was created to display God’s glory ( Psalm 19:1), and the wrath of God is revealed against those who fail to glorify God ( Romans 1:23). The world that best displays the glory of God is the world we have a world that was allowed to fall, a world that was redeemed, a world that will be restored to its original perfection. God’s wrath and God’s mercy display the riches of His glory, but we cannot see either without the fall of mankind. |
lexiconkabir:nonsense!! You have nothing to say. Just stay mute. |
There is a similarities between Hindu and islam. (1) Both Hindu and Muslim male devotees are required to shave their heads during their pilgrimage. (2) And similar to their Hindu counterparts, male Muslim pilgrims are also required to dress in a garment consisting of two sheets of white cloth. This type of garment is known as Dhoti in Hinduism. (3) Just as the worshippers of Shiva observe a rite in which they walk around their object of reverence seven times, Muslim pilgrims also walk around the Ka’ba seven times. (4) Both their objects of reverence are Black Stones. In Hinduism, the Black Stone is known as Shiva lingam. (5) While Hindus drink water from the Ganga River as part of the sacred rites in their worship of Shiva, Muslims drink from the Well of Zamzam during the Hajj. |
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jehovah is God and “is the name of the true God only” According to their doctrine, Jehovah, not Christ, is God Almighty. Yet, man HAS SEEN Jehovah. Genesis chapter 18 records an occasion when “Jehovah appeared” to Abraham near Mamre (vs. 1). Jehovah spoke directly to Abraham (vs. 13), and the faithful servant of God “stood before the Lord” (vs. 22). The final verse of Genesis 18 states: “And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham. And Abraham returned unto his place” (vs. 33). If Jehovah’s Witnesses were consistent with their argument, Jehovah could not be Almighty God because man has seen Jehovah. If John 1:18 somehow disqualifies Jesus from being God, it must also prohibit “Jehovah” from being God, because they both were seen. What Bible students must understand is that man has only seen MANIFESTATIONS of God (i.e, in human flesh, or in the midst of a burning bush, Exodus 3:2, etc.); he has never seen God (the Father or the Son) in His true spirit image. |
Jozzy4:your mind is dark and corrupt, is this what you learn from my post ? Has anyone ever seen the nature of God ? What men saw is the embodiment of God, the bible clearly say Jesus exist as a spirit before Abraham was , which NO man saw, men only began to see Him when he made his dwellings in the flesh. |
lexiconkabir:and islam shall be called what ? Abrogated religion!! Of all the religions in the world it is only islam (Allah) change his revelation and replace it with different one , and still the abrogated verses are still in the book. Islam is a blind faith . Surah 5:101-102: “O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which if made plain to you, may cause you trouble …Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith.” (Yusuf Ali) Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 3, Number 92: Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet was asked about things which he did not like, but when the questioners insisted, the Prophet got angry. EVEN SO, WE STILL NEED TO ASK: Why did Allah and Muhammad discourage people from asking questions? What is Islam trying to hide? Is blind faith the way to Islam? Why did Muhammad become angry at those who asked him questions? Why were people warned by Allah not to ask questions? How is that in Islam, questioning can lead to losing one’s faith? Does not this prove that even the right answers can lead to losing one’s faith in Islam? Only an information control cult would discourage anyone from asking questions. Is it rational to accept any one religion as the true religion without investigating or questioning it? Surely not! Therefore, we will now question Muslims about the teachings of Islam. |
OgundeleT:yes. GOD knows everything. |
OgundeleT:yes ,God knew All this will happened. Jesus had the chance to save himself, but he WILLINGLY gave himself up, and the bible say God was pleased.do you have any other way for the remission of sin ? True out the old testament, the atoning of sin forestshadow the death of Jesus , in exedus the Passover lamb must be a male without defect ( Jesus is sinless) the Passover lamb must be eating without breaking the bone ( Jesus bone were not broken on the cross even dough the Jews custom was that before the sabbath day the person crucified, his bone must be broken, BUT our lord bone were not broken. There are lot more you need to know how the Passover lamb revealed God plan in christ Jesus. |
musKeeto:did I say, Jesus did not die ? |
musKeeto:the bible indicate it, Jesus knew he will suffered a painful death,YET he chose the way, infacte the bible say He was obedient to death, the bible also say he was taken to be killed and slaughter YET he open NOT His mouth as a sheep. So prior to his death, He had the chance to excap this execution but Refused, he WILLINGLY went. The talking snake did not just talk on his own, the context is very clear, the snake was possessed by satan.I dint just believe the bible, I was convinced from my heart , it is the word of God. |

is attributed to the ACTUAL ACT of slavery. In the second, moral language is PREDICTED TO MY OPINION. What I am arguing is that, if objective moral values do not exist, then sentences of the first type are meaningless. The reason is that if there is no objective moral reality, then
