IMAliyu:
Seems you lack an understanding of other faiths, as the followers of such faiths would make sense of their own beliefs.
Let me just stick to Buddhism to explain this concept, when Gautama attained his enlightenment, he did so while meditating under a tree in his pursuit of truth, where he encountered worldly temptations from demons and men, but persevered and suddenly he could see the earth and himself He saw that he had died many times before and that he had been reborn each time. He saw all his past lives, saw all the things he had done in his lives the good as well as the bad, and came to the realization, which forms the core tenets of Buddhism. That people are reincarnated when they desire things. In specific the bad things they do in their former lives cause them to come back to earth in a new life, as if to correct them, that life is suffering, and the only way to break the cycle of rebirth and death and end the suffering is to detach one's self from worldly desire to attain Nirvana (perfect heaven), freeing one's soul.
When Gautama attained enlightenment, he too saw truth of the world and what comes next, and chose to teach the world the solutions.


As time distorts information. The lack of a remains of Christ (or so Christians claim), just presents a doubt if he ever walked the earth. Like how would we recognize his remains if we saw it to conclude that it's his or not. The absence of something is a confusing thing to use as proof.
And there exists a lack of corroborative account of such an event, as his resurrection (only his followers seemed to had witnessed it). So there is no way to discount insider bias on your parts (as Christians).

1. As a follower of Buddha what fraction of his experience you had to share with us?

2. What is the evidence that he walked the Earth?

3. Jesus is alive! He is still seen today, in dreams and visions. He still communicates as he did to Paul all over the world. Some unbelievers have seen him and thereby converted.

4. Jesus is a class of His own.
Jesus is Lord!

AntiChristian:
Mightysparrow Jesus can be compared to Moses but not Muhammad right?

So Moses has holy spirit too?

Was he sinless?

Was he begotten like Jesus?

Was he fatherless like Jesus?


What are the similarities between Jesus and Moses?


Moses was the saviour of his people from pharaoh, was Jesus able to save his people till today?

Antichristian.
You are just like Zakir Naik and Ahmed Deedat. You are not a Christian and so you don't understand Christianity.

Stick to your Prophet and continue to heed his commandments: contract marriage mut' ah

I hate seeing people comparing Jesus and mohammed.

so who is sending Jesus abi he is comming on his own..

Mathew 24

36 But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.


Is the Father also in the grave or can he even sleep nor slumber..

Like you are just waking from hangover. I don't see correction with earlier posts

Thank God that everyone is not under the spell of Tinubu's juju. But, I don't fancy them joining PDP though. PDP doesn't have a good name.

That's not a problem,
Change the name to DPP or PPD

IMAliyu:
He was enlightened and taught people the best way to live in the context of the belief system of the society at the time. Buddha did the same.
So, what in his teachings are different?

What are these principals?

"He is the perfection giver" you saying Christians are perfect?

Not all true. Jesus didn't only teach, he told us accurately the programme of events here and hereafter. He promised to come back to take his own to where he has gone to prepare. No other enlightened minds did this. Jesus died and rose to demonstrate that what he promised, he would do. Others are mere bones if there is any remaining in there graves

If it is talking about resurrection, it is a spiritual thing. There whereabouts after resurrection ? It is one of those things we will understand at the close of all mysteries.

IMAliyu:
Seems rather convenient doesn't it?
What ever happened to the philosophy of bearing your own cross?


You forget that other world religions don't believe in an original sin and the inheritance of sin, therefore their deity(ies) didn't require an ultimate blood sacrifice to be able forgive sins.

Let me give you a little bit of perspective, in Islam, Man is not perfect and sinless, and Allah(God) the creator has full knowledge of this, what he requires of you is to try your best to live virtueslly and obey him, and if you sin it's fine considering you repent from it. Considering a Muslim believes Allah is the most merciful and Just, not just simply a cosmic dictator, he/she/it is capable of understanding the struggle they embedded in man, and through their Mercy grant one forgiveness and paradise. As no one makes heaven, except by God's Mercy.
[A more individual understanding and interpretation I developed and held for a time, and not necessarily part of the dogmatic versions of Islam]


Really all?
Do you think Christ lived a more perfect life than Gautama Buddha?

Jesus is still different from all of them. Jesus was from heaven, he was conscious of that. He is going to judge all human, all prophets inclusive.
Others taught philosophy, he taught life transforming principles.

So he is not only perfect, he is a perfection giver. He is not in the class of Gautama Buddha, Confucius, mohammed and all

Jesus is Lord,
Hallelujah

Oh after how many weeks they just suddenly remembered that the Local govt got permission from police to bury the corpse. And beside when a corpse like that is found is it not deposited at the mutuary first for possible identification by the public? And besides who is the DPO that authorized the LG to go and bury an unknown corpse if their claim was to be true? And lastly why is the hotel manager who happens to be the owner's son still on the run if truly they're innocent of homicide? We Nigerians should learn to analyse critically and ask relevant questions!

In Nigeria abnormalities are normal let's keep watching. Court of law is still rhere

Prayer no work again ni?

Dog's family doing doggy,in dog's fashion

funshint:
They should be named "Vanguard of Lies Foundation". Trying to whitewash a homicide. God is a very patient God...but he's also ruthless in judgement!

If the claims are true, there must be written evidence to that effect, don't judge yet. I still believe that all concerned are not saying the truth.

Nureni Jimoh must be a yorubaman, a lawyer, I guess no northern lawyer would want to defend illegality of the oligarchy.

If her mouth has a guard ni?

AntiChristian:
How can death kill his master ?

Yet death killed him and he accused God of forsaking him before he died on the cross?

Reason am na!

When you become a Christian you will understand.
Now, you are an Antichrist, following a man who wasn't sure of his destination.
Your Qur'an confirms his death and resurrection!

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

BeLookingIDIOT:
Of course it's always "out of context" Mtcheew.
Something that is so plain.
And you must be really silly if from my comment you still could assume I'm Muslim.
Humanity have constantly been waging wars from time immemorial. What their countries have been involved in is zero compared to what have been occuring everywhere else.
Not that I'm trying to defend it by the wayy,just pointing out the gaps of your logic.

I don't really understand what you are saying, I was debating one silly Antichristian. I just looked at your name. Sorry.

The silly fellow annoys me with his posts.
Sorry Brother.

contigiency:
This man always taking the lead ahead of other governors in innovative ideas.

Lie! I will not be surprised if this'innovative ideas' doesn't have religious undertone.
A poor country like Nigeria should work 8 days a week. All truly great nations make hardworking their doctrine.

BeLookingIDIOT:
Lol... But they're not lying na

Isaiah 66:15-18 (NET)
"15 ​​​​​​​For look, the LORD comes with fire, ​​​​​​his chariots come like a windstorm, ​​​​​​to reveal his raging anger, ​​​​​​his battle cry, and his flaming arrows. 16 ​​​​​​​For the LORD judges all humanity ​​​​​​with fire and his sword; ​​​​​​the LORD will kill many. 17 "As for those who consecrate and ritually purify themselves so they can follow their leader and worship in the sacred orchards, those who eat the flesh of pigs and other disgusting creatures, like mice – they will all be destroyed together,” says the LORD. 18 “I hate their deeds and thoughts! So I am coming to gather all the nations and ethnic groups; they will come and witness my splendor."

Destroying infidels and pigs is clearly part of Jesus to-do list,if he's the messiah.

Antichrist! You are just typing out of context. Jesus did not steal, by your Qur'an, you know it is impossible. He will even judge mohammed. He is the only sinless person in the Bible and Qur'an. Mohammed didn't not claim not to be a sinner.

The screen you qouted show that you don't understand Christian faith.

Islam is a killer religion by default. Since the time of the Twelvers (Shia and Sunni) sects Muslim Ummah has not have peace, neither will they . It is the hallmark of Islam.
In the whole world today, there is name that is dreadful: Islam.
The fear of Muslims is the beginning of wisdom.




Islam is EVIL

AntiChristian:
If we are to analyse this Jesus' action in court today, Jesus's disciple would be charged for:

1. Invasion of privacy.
2. Forceful Entry
3. Unauthorised possession of other's property amongst others!

While Jesus himself would be an accomplice to all those charges!

MightySparrow MightySparrow MightySparrow can you do something like this today?



If he was accused, was it proven? Jesus too was called mad by his family. Was he truly mad?
I think you are loosing it gradually by telling lies for Christ. How did he got is in-law drunk?

Antichrist (ian)


He said, if any man asked, tell them the lord has need of it. He knew the people and thus have instructions.


The action of that day had been Prophecised about 700 years before that occurrence.
Anyways as an ignorant critic, you don't need to know.

Go to your terrorist Prophet.

Fight those who do not have faith in Allah nor [believe] in the Last Day, nor forbid what Allah and His Apostle have forbidden, nor practise the true religion, from among those who were given the Book, until they pay the tribute out of hand, degraded.

MaxInDHouse:
That's where the understanding is!

The unjust are people who don't know God's standard but lived by what their conscience tolerate. For instance people do commit adultery and fornication in times past but don't know about the God of Israel who abhors such things. People do worship idols in times past but don't know it's wrong yet they lived by conscience. So from God's standpoint they are unrighteous but since they allow their conscience to guide them then God will give them a second chance to know Him.
The righteous are people who knew God's standard and lived by it like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and many others that's why Paul listed their names for us to know those God declared righteous not because they knew Jesus Christ but due to their loyalty towards God's standard that they knew during their lifetime! Hebrews 11:4-32

As for all those destroyed by God Himself they passed directly to everlasting death!

So only the good are awaiting resurrection in God's memory no evildoer will be remembered. I keep quoting this verse but it's like you just chose to ignore it:

The wicked will retreat toward the Grave, All the nations who forget God. NWT

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. KJV

The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God. NIV

Psalms 9:17

Can you explain what God's word is saying here? We all know that all sinners will die due to Adamic sin {Romans 5:12} and ever since everyone both good and evil are dying, and they are still in their graves until now.
So what is the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of this particular verse?

My neighbour, please explain further how the nations will be buried and by whom? NWT translation.

tctrills:
Sir, you wrote so much, I would have loved to reply all but let's see what I can do.
First. You did not in anyway or form answer my question.
My question was, what happened to the spirit of man at death. I was asking about the consciousness of the spirit at death.

Yes John 5.25 was talking about resurrection but before resurrection, the dead would hear the voice of Christ and those that believe would be saved.

He yearned out of point. He is a JW member who wants to force their doctrines down your throat.

The answer is absolutely out of point.




However, Solomon's writings are not all of divine inspiration being poems and songs. Many of them are philosophical and none is prophetic, him, being not a prophet like David his father.


I don't personally believe that Solomon knows anything about afterlife. The case of Lazarus clearly tells us that so much are happening in the afterlife. Also, is Revelations, the spirit of those that are matyrred Were crying for justice.

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev. 6: 9 - 10.
Jesus said he is greater than Solomon, since he was not a rich man or an earthly king, he can only be greater by wisdom and understanding. And of course, he being not part of this world.
