@LagosShia, When I read your thread in the link which you suggested, I found that you have all the time in defense of your religion (to which I can assert that you were born) and defiance to a better truth, the which I have seen sent in response to your confusion, You already know that No other Leader of the world made a bold statement like this “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14;6. Find out in your Quran if there is any such assertion by your protagonist Even your Mohammed made an affirmed statement of his doubts about his eternal security because he rejected the Lord Jesus. Hear what Mohammed said in the Hadith By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me.” (Hadith 5.266) But then in the Quran the Muslim is commanded to “Obey God and His Apostle” (surah 3:32) and to follow his example. This is also very contradictory. If Muhammad was unsure of his eternal destination and yet Muslims are suppose to follow his example, how can they be sure of their eternal destination? Truth is, There is no ground for your fight against truth, Jesus is the way. He Loves you have the singular opportunity to accept Him as Lord and Savior via this medium. |

Thank you "Sweetnecta" I gave you evidence from the page which you have refused to read because your sect Will not verify information. You just cannot disprove the Facts on ground, The Koran or Qur'an wrote those contradictions and they have become the shame of the sect, that the Authors of Islamic manifesto, are so incoherent in the in formations that was dished to humanity as the Word of their god. How unintelligent this god must be not to know that Human being will verify his contradictions from an Authentic source The Bible. It is your Choice. I wish you will have a rethink and study It is not to Late to Bow to Jesus. He loves you he is waiting to Save all who accept his saving grace If you will, forgive me, I am just concerned for the Over 1.3 billion Rejecting God to His face Pity, |
There are more than 100 verses in the Qur'an (Koran) advocating the use of violence to spread Islam. There are exactly 123 verses in the Qur'an about killing and fighting. Qur'an 9:5, known as "the verse of the sword," declares, "Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem." Muslim activists in the West have been using the tactic of claiming that they worship the same god as the Christians in order to gain legitimacy and acceptance. They have been using the name "God" in place of "Allah" in many translations of the Qur'an. Muslims DO NOT pray to the same God (Yahweh/ Jehovah of Holy Scripture) of Christians and Jews! Yahweh is transliterated from the Hebrew YHVH. Before Muhammad the Arabs had 365 gods - one for each day of the year. Muhammad picked Allah (the Arab moon god). They claim the founder of Islam is a prophet named Muhammad, however Muhammad himself says he is not a prophet and has never personally heard from God, in fact Muhammad who heard voices thought himself it was from evil spirits, his wife encouraged him to change his mind and claim God had spoken to him, Muhammad was a pedophile, having sexual relations with a 6 year old and 9 year old girl. Muhammad performed no miracles, spoke no prophecies, and died like all mortal men Islam claims the Prophet Muhammad was foretold in the Torah and Bible: The coming of Prophet Muhammad had been foretold in the Torah. God had said to Moses: "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 to them all that I shall command him" Deuteronomy 18:18 This was fulfilled in John 1:45, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." Nope, not Muhammad! It was Jesus of Nazareth! ooops, There are more than 100 verses in the Qur'an (Koran) advocating the use of violence to spread Islam. There are exactly 123 verses in the Qur'an about killing and fighting. Qur'an 9:5, known as "the verse of the sword," declares, "Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem." The Koran was written 500 years after the Bible and Muhammad couldn't get his history straight? Who was talking to his head? Certainly wasn't the Most High God. The Moslems consider the Qur’an as uncorrupted. Yet it's historical and scientific blunders are numerous, Islam teaches that Hagar was Abraham's first wife, the Torah says Hagar was Sarah's handmaiden, or bondwoman, Hagar was never Abraham's wife, she was a maid, a servant, who had a child for Abraham because Sarah was barren and couldn't conceive. Eventually Sarah did conceive and Hagar was cast into the desert with Ishmael her son. The Muslims misquote the Bible claiming the "freewoman" wife of Abraham was Hagar when it was Sarah. Hagar was the bondwoman, servant of Sarah. In other words, Sarah was Abraham's wife, Hagar was his mistress. When Isaac was born, Ishmael and Hagar were cast away from Abraham and sent into the desert away from him and Sarah. Ishmael was promised to be a great nation, and today he is, but the blessings of Abraham and Yahweh's covenant went through Isaac and his seedline. Biblically speaking, the land of Israel rightfully belongs to the Jews because God promised and gave the land to Abraham, the Father of the Jews, and renewed this promise or covenant to Abraham's son Isaac and to Isaac's son Jacob (later renamed Israel by God) who begat twelve sons from whom the twelve tribes of Israel was established as a nation as described in Genesis 12:1-3; 17:7,8 and 17:19-21. The state of Israel is a constant reminder to the world that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is alive and that one billion Arabs can't keep them from possessing their promised land. Was Jesus the ONLY Begotten Son of God? Yes. "For God so loved the world that He gave HIS ONLY Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life - John 3:16, not through Muhammad, it was Jesus, Yahushua. Did Jesus die on the cross? Yes. Matthew chapters 27&28 talk about his death and resurrection. Jesus defeated death when he arose from the grave 3 days later. Muhammad's tomb still holds his body, Jesus' does not! His tomb is empty! Islam misquotes and teaches that Muhammad was prophesied, The Bible says, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" (John 14:26). Not Muhammad, the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (I Tim. 2:5). The False Cult of Islam Blunders in the Koran, The Koran teaches that the world is flat. This doctrine is believed by Islamic scholars even today. The Bible revealed that the earth is round in Isaiah 40:22. "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth". It is also clear in the Qur'an that Muhammad and his Allah thought Moses lived at the time on Noah and that Jesus' mother Mary was Moses' and Aaron's sister. If the Qur'an is a true miracle of God - why is it so filled with historical, scientific and other errors, including simple math? Wouldn't we expect an all-knowing Allah to be better student of history, science and math? Especially if he was getting his information straight from "God Himself"? Muhammad had obviously heard some Bible stories, but he seems to have got them confused and mixed up when it came out in his prophetic utterances. It is quite apparent that the Qu'ran is simply the product of hearsay and imperfect editing from a plurality of traditions then known to Muhammad. Historical errors in the Qur'an: The Historical, Scientific, simple mathematics and theological contradictions in the Qur'an are too numerous to list. Remember, since Muhammad already proclaimed the Jewish Torah/Christian Old Testament (Taurat) as correct in Qur'an 5:46/47 and 43:63 then the following gross errors that differ with the Torah are inexcusable. These errors their selves scream out the Qur'an itself is entirely false. Here are just a few: In Sura 2:241 Muhammad confuses the persons of Saul and Gideon. In Sura 2:55-60 the Israelites were said to be "a scanty band" vastly inferior to the Egyptians. But in Exodus 1:7-10 the Egyptian king said to his people that the Israelites had become "more and mightier than we". The Koran confused the sister of Moses (Miriam) with Mary, the mother of Jesus. In Hebrew, Miriam and Mary are the same names. How many angels were talking to Mary? When the Qur'an speaks about the annunciation of the birth of Jesus to the virgin Mary, Sura 3:42,45 speaks about (several) angels while it is only one in Sura 19:17-21. The Christian Bible clearly indicated one angel; "In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth," Luke 1:26 Muhammad taught that Mary the mother of Jesus was the sister of Aaron and Moses - who lived 1,500 years earlier. Do you remember the evil Persian Haman who conspired to kill all the Jews during the time of Esther in the Babylonian captivity. In the Koran, Muhammad incorrectly taught that this wicked man Haman was the prime minister of the Egyptian Pharaoh. Throughout the Quran--Nimrod and Abraham, Haman and Moses, Mary and Aaron, the tower of Babel and Pharaoh were all pictured as living and working together. Moses and the flood are also incorrectly found together. Muhammad thought these all happened at the same time. What about Noah's son? According to Sura 21:76, Noah and his family is saved from the flood, and Sura 37:77 confirms that his seed survived. But Sura 11:42-43 reports that Noah's son drowns. Sura 7:136, 7:59 say Noah's flood took place in Moses' day. Did anyone tell Moses that? Sura 14:37, says Abraham lived in the valley of Mecca. The Bible says he lived in Hebron, Israel. (Genesis 13:18, 23:2, 35:27) Sura 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59 clearly state that God created "the heavens and the earth" in six days. But in 41:9-12 the detailed description of the creation procedure adds up to eight days. Suras 21:51-71; 37:97,98, says that Abraham was thrown into a fire [by Nimrod]. Nimrod and Abraham did not live at the same time. Muhammad was always mixing people together in the Qur'an who did not live at the same time. The Bible tells us Nimrod lived many centuries before Abraham. Sura 6:74, says Abraham (called millata-Ibrahim in the Qur'an) father's name was Azar. The Bible says it was Terah (Genesis 11:27). Sura 12:21ff, says the man who bought Joseph was named Aziz. The Bible says it was Potiphar. Sura 37:100-112, says Abraham went to sacrifice Ishmael. The Bible says it was Issac. Sura 5:73-75,116, Muhammad mistakenly thought the Christian Trinity was 3 gods: the Father, the Mother (Mary), and the Son (Jesus). Sura 28:8-9, says is was Pharaoh's wife who adopted Moses. The Bible says it was Pharaoh's daughter. Sura 9:10, incorrectly says Zacharias could not speak for only three days. Sura 20:87, 95, says the Jews made the golden calf in the wilderness at the suggestion of Samaritans. There were no Samaritans at that time. Sura 18:85,86, says that Alexander the Great (Zul-qarinain) followed the setting sun and found that it went down into the waters of a muddy spring. Sura 18:89-98 says Alexander the Great was a Muslim and worshipped Allah and lived to an old age. Actually, Alexander the Great died very young and was by no means a Muslim. The Greek, Alexander the Great lived from 356 - 323 B.C. (Before Jesus). He was 33 years old when he died. Muhammad and Islam did not come along till 610 A.D. (after Jesus), when Muhammad began preaching Allah and his new religion in Mecca. This was over 900 years after Alexander the Great died. Yusuf Ali and the Concise Dictionary of Islam confirm that Zul-qarinain in the Quran is Alexander the Great. The Qur'an also incorrectly says Abrah's army was defeated by birds dropping stones on them. History says Abrah's army withdrew after smallpox broke out. It says; the Kabah was build by Adam and rebuilt by Abraham. It was built by pagans to worship a black rock that fell out of the sky. Abraham never lived in Mecca. The Quran says that man was created from a clot of blood, the Torah says man was created from the dust of the ground. "Read! In the name of your Lord Who Creates Creates man from a clot of blood Read! And your Lord is most generous Teaches man that which he knew not" Quran 96:1-5 Other notable errors in the Qur'an: More flip flops than John Kerry: The origin of calamity? Is the evil in our life from Satan [38:41], Ourselves [4:79], or Allah [4:78]? Can slander of chaste women be forgiven? Yes [24:5], No [24:23]. Abrogation? "The words of the Lord are perfect in truth and justice; there is NONE who can change His words." [Sura 6:115] Also see 6:34 and 10:64. But then Allah (Muhammad?) sees the need to exchange some of them for "better ones" [Sura 2:106, 16:101]. And it is not for ignorant people to question Allah because of such practices! What is the punishment for adultery? Flogging with a 100 stripes (men and women) [Sura 24:2], "confine them to houses until death do claim them (lifelong house arrest - for the women) [Sura 4:15]. For men: "If they repent and amend, leave them alone" [Sura 4:16]. Sura 24:2 contradicts both the procedure for women and men in Sura 4. And why is the punishment for women and men equal in Sura 24 but different in Sura 4? Didn't Allah have a Basic Education? It just doesn't add up: Sura 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to more than the available estate. A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of the available property. Wine: Good or bad? Strong drink and , are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. [Sura 5:90, also Sura 2:219]. Yet on the other hand in Paradise are rivers of wine [Sura 47:15, also Suras 83:22,25]. How does Satan's handiwork get into Paradise? Islam says that the prophecy in Bible has been fulfilled by the advent of Prophet Muhammad. Jesus says in the Bible, John 16:7 and 16:13: "If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart I will send him unto you . . .We will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak . . ." The Comforter was the Holy Spirit, who did come, it was not Muhammad, another blunder in Islam, Contrast these blunders in the Qur'an (Koran) showing this book is NOT INSPIRED by God with this example of something really divinely inspired and accurate from the Jewish/Christian Bible: Islam Rejects Christ's Death on the Cross Muslims have no hope of being saved - because nowhere in the Qur'an does Allah offer redemption. Muhammad himself was unsure if he would ever be allowed into Heaven. Allah is not the God of the Jews or the Christians. Allah is in fact a Meccan Moon god idol. To confess that Allah is the same God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses is to deny Jehovah God, who is revealed in the Lord Jesus the Christ! Muslims even deny that Jesus died on the cross; something that was faithfully reported in 4 Gospels. Consider the significance of the fact that no Jew or Roman alive at the time ever openly denied the Scriptural record of Jesus Christ's life, death, ministry or resurrection. The Qur'an Lies and Covers up the Crucifixion of Jesus by claiming it never happened, According to the Qur’an, and to Muslim tradition, He was never crucified. There is a verse in the Qu’ran which says that “they have not crucified Him but it was likened unto Him.” In some of their traditions, they claim that it was Judas Iscariot who was crucified on the cross. Their argument is that God, who sent such a great rasool as Jesus the Son of Mary, would never allow him to die such a shameful death on the cross. Qurán Sure 4, 157. That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.";- But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- Sure 4, 158. 158. Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;- Sure 4, 159. 159. And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;- Sure 5, 17. Sure 5 17. They disbelieved indeed those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and every one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things." In short, this Allah is not the God of the Jews or the Christians. Allah is in fact a Meccan Moon god idol. To confess that Allah is the same God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses is to deny Jehovah God, who is revealed in the Lord Jesus the Christ! The Qur’an does not deny Passion Week. Supposedly, as Jesus was on his way to the cross, God tricked everyone by putting someone else in his place and by taking Jesus to heaven. In the final analysis, Muslims have a theological argument against the cross and not an historical one. They reason like this: First, God is almighty. Secondly, he sent Jesus into the world as a great revealer of His law and will. And since God would never allow his prophet to be crucified, therefore, Jesus was not crucified. As Muhammad was persecuted there is nothing unusual about a prophet like Jesus being persecuted. Muhammad had to flee for his life. There is such a thing as the suffering of Muhammad and of the Muslim community that had recognized his mission as the Messenger of Allah. Some sought refuge in Ethiopia. And then, in 622, he and the rest of his followers migrated to Medina. That marked the beginning of the Islamic (lunar) calendar. So the idea of suffering is part and parcel of the early Muslim Umma. But the idea of complete defeat or failure of a divine messenger is unthinkable. The Jews have this problem also. How could they accept somebody who was crucified? So we have the Qur’anic account of Good Friday, where God rescues our Lord from death at the eleventh hour. Muslims come from a religious background that has always denied both the historicity and necessity of the cross. Their Holy Book tells them that this central event in the life of the Messiah did not take place, and that someone else was crucified. Allah rescued the Messiah and thwarted the evil plans of the Jews negating the entire New Testament of the Gospel. As some Muslims claim, some other person was crucified. In other words, when it comes to the heart of the Christian message, Muhammad put in his veto. And this has marked his followers for the last fourteen hundred years. Muslims still veto the cross, even though the rest of mankind, regardless of their religious commitment acknowledges the historicity of that event! God's Word is redemptive. Where the Christian can see the Word of God consists of both law and gospel, the Muslim's concept is that the Word of God is purely and simply law. Islam offers HELL and that is all Allah Promised hell for his followers: Sura 3:185, "Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception." This Suras from Quran very clearly says that after death everyone will go to hell fire then judgment, When a person went to hell fire then how and why it is possible that he/she can come out from hell fire and go to paradise, no way, This verse does not say anything about eternal life. This verse very clearly says that every believer in Allah is tasting death means they did not get the life while Jesus promised eternal life and heaven as we read in John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. And also every soul is going to hell fire till the day of judgment means they are not reaching heaven. So of course Allah promised hell fire for his believers. There is no chance to go to heaven once you go to hell. Jesus can save you when you are still in this world as He said in John 3:15 "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. How a person can save himself/herself from hell fire when he/she is already in hell fire? And this verse says that they will be there till the time of Day of Judgment. Do you think a person who is already in hell will get a seat in heaven after judgment? Judgment is a day when people get their sentence and verdict, and there are no second chances to "make it to heaven" once you have been cast into hell. And he claims all those who don't follow Islam are going to hell, so according to Muhammad, everyone is going to hell, "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost."(Qur'an 3:85) Allah promised hell fire for his followers Jesus promised heaven for His followers. Yet the Jihad martyrs are pumped up with grand illusions, And what reward does Paradise bring to the jihad martyr? He is promised a palace of pearls in which are 70 mansions; inside each mansion are 70 houses and in each house a bed on which are 70 sheets and on each sheet a beautiful virgin. He is assured that he will have the appetite and strength of 100 men for food and sex. This is the fantastic dream that is fed to Muslim boys from their childhoods. Satan promised Jesus things similar to these and more, when he tempted Jesus in the desert. To a Christian and any other true son or daughter of the true God, these things the Muslim hopes for are loathsome. To a woman it has to be a hell, Allah Offers NO Redemption. Your entire eternal existence is spending time in hell, Muslims have no hope of being saved - because nowhere in the Qur'an does Allah offer redemption. Muhammad himself was unsure if he would ever be allowed into Heaven. Islam allows no freedom and is actually cruel towards women. This alone should make them realize that it is Satan behind Islam who wishes to enslave Muslims to turn them away from the truth. This lie of and by Islam has been the cause that has led billions of Muslim souls into a religion with no hope of redemption - because they reject the only way to redemption that God promised - to those who believe what God did through His son Jesus (Yahushua) on a cross in Jerusalem. Muhammad himself was convinced that the "revelations" he received in the Hira Cave were evil, and from a demon (Jinn). Muhammad's constant fits, foaming at the mouth and other manifestations certainly fit in with that idea. This is how demon possessed people are known to behave today, as they did in both the times of Jesus and Muhammad. The Hebrew prophets, and Jesus Christ never behaved like this. But all over the world where demons are listened to, you will find this kind of behavior. Murder, rape, plunder and destruction are all perfectly fine with Allah - if done in the name of Islam Koran (Qur'an) 8:67-68 Muhammad justified his crimes with divine revelation: The details of all his criminal onslaughts in the form of battles and assassinations are chronicled in this article in a chronological manner One should note that every time the 'Apostle of Peace' committed one of his criminal onslaughts, he always justified the crimes by quickly claiming a 'divine revelation' which conveniently removed the blame from his bloodied hands. Muhammad was married to a 6 year old Jewish girl, while he was 51, and he had 11 wives Islamic fundamentalism promotes jihad (holy war), against those of other religious and political views. In addition to good works, salvation is sought though observance of the Five Pillars: reciting “there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger,” praying five times per day, fasting, giving alms (donations to the poor), and a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Arabic word Islam means “submission to the will of God” and a person who submits is called a Muslim. The Qur’an (or, Koran), the Torah, the Psalms of the Old Testament, and the Gospel of the New Testament are regarded as holy books. However, only the Qur’an is considered uncorrupted even though it was written 500 years after the Bible and is filled with historical and scientific blunders, Islam rejects the Trinity doctrine, the deity of Christ and His Sonship, claiming that Jesus was only a great prophet. Muhammad is considered to be the greatest prophet, whose coming was allegedly predicted by Christ. Jesus told us The Holy Spirit was coming, the Spirit of God! Not Muhammad some fake, wannabe mortal human who couldn't even get his demonic channeling straight that the earth isn't flat! Muhammad: Based on the teachings and life of Muhammad (570-632 AD) in Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia (then Persia). Islam is the second largest world religion, and has recently become the third largest religious body in America with over 6 million adherents. Muslim-based sects such as the Nation of Islam (which appeals especially to African-Americans) and Bahá’í (which proclaims the unity of the human race) have special appeal to many Americans. Islam is composed of two major divisions — the mainstream Sunni (the largest) and the more radical Shi’ites. Will all Muslims go to Hell? According to Sura 19:71 every Muslim will go to Hell (for at least some time), while another passage states that those who die in Jihad will go to Paradise immediately. A symptom of evil (bait and switch). Except for Allah saying he loved the Jew/Hebrew Moses (in 20:39) there is not one mention of Allah unconditionally loving man in the Qur'an (Koran); or providing a route to salvation. Can you be sure your time in Hell will not be an eternity? If you do not do Allah's bidding by doing terrorist acts -- what future awaits you as a Muslim? God already provided a simple plan to salvation; and it is the true path of Peace. Muslims often say they honor Jesus as a great prophet. If they truly honored Jesus Muslims would believe what He (Jesus) said; "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 The Qurash (aka: Quraish) tribe which Muhammad belonged to was in charge of idol worship at the Ka'ba Shrine. The chief god of Muhammad's tribe was one of the three sister goddesses called al-Uzza, the youngest of the three daughters of the pre-Islamic Allah and the patron goddess of Mecca. Her name means "the mighty one". The other two were named "al-Lat and "al-Manat". It was only by chance that a fortune teller counseled Muhammad's grandfather against sacrificing Muhammad's father to this al-Uzza pagan diety. The head of these pagan deities was "Al-llah". It is believed that "al-llah" in Muhammad's time before Islam referred to a vague moon god and that Muhammad believed that al-Uzza was a daughter of this "al-llah". The Qurash tribe's Allah corresponded to the god Bel, which is another name of the Assyrio-Babylonian gods En-lil and Marduk. It has the same meaning as Baal. The Arabic today translates the word Allah as "God". Muhammad's father's name was "Abd-Allah" (or slave of Allah). When Muhammad says there is only one god - Allah - now you have an idea what his background/ thinking was. Photo: this poor frightened woman is buried up to her waist in preparation for her stoning to death. All a muslim man has to do is lie and a woman is found guilty and murdered under Islam. In Islam, there is no justice for women. Does that sound like a fair God to you? It isn't God, Allah is nothing but a jinn/demon mansquerading as a god. Here is a real example of what the Muslim head "stoner" says to begin the ghastly "festivities: "We have all gathered here to implement divine punishments. Oh, Almighty, we plead with you to give victory to Islam and Muslims." Here is what Jesus said: According to the Gospel of John, the Jewish Priests (Pharisees), in an attempt to discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him. The Pharisees reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under Law of Moses and challenged Jesus to judge the woman so that they might then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and then replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” The people crowded around him were so touched by their own consciences that they departed. When Jesus found himself alone with the woman, he asked her who were her accusers. She replied, “No man, lord.” Jesus then said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.” Muhammad said, Muhammad said, ", take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus does He command you, that you may learn wisdom." (Quran 6:151) Yet by his own example he was a plunderer and murderer, and promotes murder and Jihad for those who don't agree with him, Jesus, the Son of God, said to love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, When Muhammad started preaching his new religion in Mecca he was conciliatory and appeasing to Christians. He told them: "We believe in What has been sent down to us and sent down to you, our God is the same as your God." Surah 29:46. Compare this with what happened later, in Medina, after Muhammad gained strength and Christians refused to follow Muhammad's Allah. Allah then tells him to "Fight those who believe not in God nor the last day, Nor acknowledge the religion of truth (Islam), (even if they are) of the people of the Book, until they pay Jizya (tribute tax) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued". Surah 9:29 The Koran was written 500 years after the Christian Bible was completed Muhammad is one of those false prophets who would deceive many (hundreds of millions) that Jesus warned us about. According to many interpretations of the Qur'an (aka: Koran), conversion to a faith other than Islam is punishable by death, in the Koran he says his god is the same of Jews, yet then changes and says anyone who doesn't worship in Islam is punishable by death. Threat of force to worship? Who's your god Muhammad? The Most High God gives man Free Will. Islamic Satanic Lies Islam is built on subtle lies which have been concocted by evil men in order to maintain cohesion and discipline within their robber band. Islam is the only religion that says that Jesus did not die on the cross. Islam denies this historical fact about Jesus which therefore negates the salvation given us by the Son of God's painful death and miraculous resurrection from the dead. Even the Jewish Sanhedrin (High Religious Court) in Jerusalem admits Jesus died there. In addition to the writers of the 4-Gospels, the Jewish Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) from the Tannaitic Period recorded: "On the eve of Passover Yeshu was hanged", This means on a wooden cross. "Allah" was an old pagan tribal "moon god" The name of the true God is not Allah, but Jehovah (Yahweh), Moslems are deceived into thinking Allah means "submission to God" when they are really worshipping a moon god, remember Lucifer deceived 1/3 of the angels in his rebellion against God. In Islam, Lucifer is deceiving 1.3 billion people! 1 John 2: 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Christians were told in the Bible to be on-guard and that the Antichrist will not only just be a man who appears shortly before the Lord Jesus, but also a movement which denies that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God. More than 1.3 Billion human beings confess Islam, the religion Muhammad founded. There is no more militant movement on earth equal to Islam. No religion teaches hatred more than Islam. Jesus said; "many false prophets will rise up and deceive man." Around 85 per cent of Muslims belong to the majority Sunni sect. The minority Shi’a Most Muslims are not concentrated in Iran and Iraq. |
What will you say to the proliferation of the movie industries with ibo tribe? Where then is the originality that stage acting was once known for? Who smashed it? The movie industry is Just a show of lies, how do you defend a culture that does not exist on the platform of sincerity, Where everything is just about making money, the motives of the movie is not to teach the Art of our culture but to amerce wealth. Artist are real, they are not vain, they are few artist that is left amongst the movie makers and their showbiz counterpart. majority is about the money, so Pete as much as he have a little respect left from me, he should not reduce his once renown image to a mere show of tribalism |
@Joagbaje We are prone to misapplication of scriptures in defense or defiance, one of the most misapplied scripture is “Judge not, that ye be not judged, For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again” here we often refer to an act of condemning any improper behavior or misdeed, The application is that, do not judge people by the standard that you fall short of For example, when I Drink pure water and throw the sachet on the street, I do not have the moral standing to correct another man who does the same, but if I don’t, I can tell others that the act is wrong or make them face the consequence of their action There is a thin line between error and truth and most times we do not observe the signpost, a lot of things done by churches today were left unchecked and no one spoke to condemn the errors For instance 1 Corinthian 5: 1It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. We forget that Jesus himself when he said Woe unto you scribes and Pharisee hypocrites, that was displaying an authoritative type of judgment on the evil at the time If you have a good understanding of 2 Timothy 2;4 , No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. , you will know that just the way you don’t expect soldiers to sell yam in the market while on uniform, or a Police to sell meat while on uniform, A True Pastor is not expected to engage in other activities that will not propagate the Gospel of the Lord Jesus |

I have been somewhat reluctant in posting a topic like this because i am aware that there are several opinion on issues that are man's idea which is not scripture based, i believe in a personal relationship with God and though fellowship is of essence, it also very important to do a heart check of places of fellowship where the Presence of God is felt and seen, Trying hard not to be to spiritual, I would start by saying, I have been greatly dissapointed at modern trend of church association, especially at the manner and style of presentation by the great number of clergymen who claim to be representing Jesus on earth The issue is, all men jostle for acceptance, fame, Popularity, majoring on the minor and minoring on the major. The result has been a subtle falling away from the path of righteousness, I have observed how GAS (Gospel according to Satan) has become the order of the day in most big assemblies where you can see Hypocrisy, Vanity and Fantasy They have dupe the members who themselves are gullible The Church renown for Holiness are far away from common Love, there seem to be a congregation divided, some big men are making money from doing business around the church, Please answer this question What is the rationale for the huge rentals paid at DLCC Camp, where people have gathered to recieve from God? Who is making the money? For what purpose is the money kept? When member cannot even afford certain need (Please you can think of that for other Big assemblage also) Please let us not imagine that the monies of the Church is kept for Antichrist 2. What is the business of the Church in Establishing University? Please be sincere The Missionary made it Free as a strategy top allow the Preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ These days, after the offering of the people have been collected or stolen, the church build a University that the children of members cannot afford Let me add that it is because there is no Revival, that is why the church is busy in other duty the Gospel of Jesus Christ is too much a work to leave for Building university when we become to settled in the world our ambition begin to change because of the competition in the world The Church has no business with the business of educating the world outside Christ This Church close their doors to members who want to pray and employ carnal men who are strangers to the common wealth of Israel There are a lot of issues to be added on the above as it concern routine, stereotype and mechanical worship not backed by the power of the Holy Spirit Well, I must say they are copying from the Known worldly Churches who are well established in the world well known by the government where a Pastor can double as the Vice Chancellor and imposed Laws on mature students on how to live when he should have prayed enough to let the Holy Ghost compel them on lifestyle OR the Arena which is a Paradise for a once Pilgrim who have become too tired to pray for the return of Jesus rather they busy themselves with Prosperity messages and "I will make it Sermon" If you understand my Passion, I am concern for the Lost glory. The church has accommodated people who should weep to the cross They Run the church, They are respected and given Titles The Pastor have homered men more than they honor God When should we Pray for Revival, When Salvation Messages is common and it does not break the heart that Jesus Died when the Clergy are busy accepting national honor when Pastor are becoming Aluta when they have the option of Prayer when the Church is Locked and the Righteous cannot run into it When humility becomes a poster rather that a visible lifestyle when we pray and nothing happens when Universities becomes the Pride of pilgrims when we have become worldly that it is impossible to differentiate a christian from the world when BIG daddies cannot leave thier comfort Zones to preach in Northern Cities or Saudi Arabia for fear of death When we are unwilling to die like martyrs when the way of the cross which in itself means crucifixion or death is no longer the path that leads home We need revival |
You cannot change this world, Only Jesus can change the heart of men, If you reject Jesus and his ways as most comments does seems to suggest, NA LIKE DIS WE GO DEY DEY |
@Alxmyr, Truth is Real Christianity makes you like Zombie as you have coined; I wish i were more like Christ that did not defend his right before Pilate whom He Created, Modern Christianity is a departure from True Christianity 1 Corinthian 4;10 “We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.” |
@ednut1, the article does not request for your anger Rather it seeks your intelligent addition to disprove the facts on ground, confirm history, read your book and don’t make silly outrageous outburst like a terrorist, why like most people do you prefer to speak against Truth rather than search it out? If you were born into a car does that make you a Driver? Or if you were born into a church does that make you a Pope? Seek the Truth, Deliver yourself from doom |
The death of Jesus and the death of Muhammad James M. Arlandson All humans are mortal. You the reader are a human. Therefore, you are mortal. So goes standard, basic logic. But what about Jesus and Muhammad? They were also human. Therefore, they were mortal. It is true that the New Testament teaches that Christ is the divine Son of God and that he came down from heaven. But it also teaches that he had a full (but sinless) human nature and mortal human body. So what caused these two men to die? Were their deaths predicted? If so, how clear are the predictions? What were their concerns before they died? What were their last words? Where did they die? How did their followers react? Did their deaths have a purpose? This article seeks to answer these questions. We begin with Muhammad, and then proceed to Jesus. Muhammad In Medina, Muhammad lived a life that included raids and wars and collection of war booty. His death reflects this kind of life. What caused his death? The prophet of Islam died from an illness aggravated by poison. After his conquest of the predominantly Jewish city of Khaybar (or Khaibar) in AD 628, a Jewish woman offered him mutton (sheep) that she had poisoned. Another report says a group of Jews had poisoned it. The hadith (or traditions) is the reports of Muhammad’s words and deeds outside of the Quran. The most reliable hadith collector and editor is Bukhari (d. 870). This one indicates that the poison caused Muhammad some pain four years later at his death in AD 632. . . . Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O 'Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison." (Bukhari; see a parallel hadith here) What was the Jewish community’s motive? In this hadith, Muhammad is interrogating the Jews of Khaybar. After a verbal sparring match with them, he comes to the point. [Muhammad] asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They [some Jews] said, "Yes." He asked, "What made you do so?" They said, "We wanted to know if you were a liar in which case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you." (Bukhari) Thus, Jews wanted to see if the poison would affect him, and it did. So why could he not heal himself by the power of Allah? The Quran teaches that Muhammad could work no miracles (go here and here for more information). However, we should not take this "prophet test" as the only explanation of the Jews’ motive. The hadith seems also to hint at revenge in the words "we would get rid of you." Why revenge? Before Muhammad immigrated to Medina in AD 622, Jews thrived there. But Muhammad expels two tribes of Jews: the Qaynuqa (AD 624) and the Nadir (AD 625). He massacres the Jewish men and pubescent boys and enslaved the women and children of the Qurayza tribe (AD 627). Muhammad the newcomer to Medina had caused the Jews a lot of needless tragedy and grief. See this article for further information on Muhammad’s troubled relations with the Jews of Medina and Khaybar. See this article for more information on Muhammad and his bout with poison. The article discusses the inconsistency of why Muhammad superstitiously said to eat Ajwa dates to prevent the effects of poison, but here he is dying from it, at least in part. This short question and answer feature at a Muslim website also reviews Muhammad’s tense relations with the Jews. Was his death predicted? A tradition says that his death was predicted in Sura 110:1, a Meccan sura (it was revealed in the city of Mecca before Muhammad’s Hijrah or immigration or flight to Medina). The Quran in Sura 110:1 says: When there comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad, against your enemies) and the Conquest (of Makkah [Mecca]). (Hilali and Khan) This verse is not specific or accurate or relevant to his death. First, it says nothing about poison being a cause of death. Second, Makkah (Mecca) per se is not mentioned as the conquest—the parenthetical note has been inserted by the two translators—but at least the verse accurately predicts Muhammad’s life in Medina: one of numerous conquests. Third, the verse predicts the help of Allah, but Muhammad’s death from sickness and poison indicates the exact opposite; no help or healing came from Allah. Further, other verses in the Quran that speak of Muhammad’s humanity and mortality cannot be characterized as clear and specific predictions (Suras 17:93, 39:30, and 41:6). Fatima is Muhammad’s daughter by his first wife Khadijah. In this hadith, she is talking with her father, who reveals a secret premonition that she divulges only after his death. . . . When the Prophet died, I asked her about it. She [Khadijah] replied. "The Prophet said, "Every year Gabriel used to revise the Qur'an with me once only, but this year he has done so twice. I think this portends my death, and you will be the first of my family to follow me." (Bukhari; see a parallel here). However, a more down-to-earth reason for Muhammad’s premonition is his growing illness. Incidentally, a hadith says that Fatima died six months after her father. What were some of his concerns before he died? The next five hadiths range over diverse topics. (1) One of his concerns during his fatal illness was his many marriages. Which wife should he stay with? It was his favorite, Aisha, his child-bride, who got this privilege. He betrothed her when she was six years old, and they sexually consummated their marriage when she was nine years old. She was never able to bear him a child. (Go here and here for more information). Narrated 'Aisha: . . . During his fatal ailment, Allah's Apostle used to ask his wives, "Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay tomorrow?" He was looking forward to Aisha's turn. So all his wives allowed him to stay where he wished, and he stayed at 'Aisha's house till he died there. 'Aisha added: He died on the day of my usual turn at my house. Allah took him unto Him while his head was between my chest and my neck and his saliva was mixed with my saliva. (Bukhari) (2) Another concern was a possible successor. This hadith approves of Abu Bakr, Muhammad’s right-hand companion, leading prayer while the prophet of Islam was sick. While the Muslims were offering the Fajr prayer on Monday and Abu Bakr was leading them in prayer, suddenly Allah's Apostle lifted the curtain of 'Aisha's dwelling and looked at them while they were in the rows of the prayers and smiled. Abu Bakr retreated to join the row, thinking that Allah's Apostle wanted to come out for the prayer. The Muslims were about to be put to trial in their prayer (i.e. were about to give up praying) because of being overjoyed at seeing Allah's Apostle. But Allah's Apostle beckoned them with his hand to complete their prayer and then entered the dwelling and let fall the curtain. (Bukhari) This is one of many passages in the hadith that point to the rightfulness of Abu Bakr becoming the successor or caliph, according to Sunni Islam. But Muhammad did not clarify in no uncertain terms who this should be. (3) Muhammad ordered that his property not be inherited, but given to charity. The Prophet said, "Our (Apostle’s) property should not be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity." (Bukhari see a parallel hadith here) But what about Fatima? Would she be denied her father’s inheritance? Fatima and Al 'Abbas came to Abu Bakr [the first Caliph], seeking their share from the property of Allah's Apostle, and at that time, they were asking for their land at Fadak [property of Jews that was conquered] and their share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said to them, "I have heard from Allah's Apostle saying, 'Our property cannot be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity, but the family of Muhammad may take their provisions from this property.’" Abu Bakr added, "By Allah, I will not leave the procedure I saw Allah's Apostle following during his lifetime concerning this property." Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not speak to him till she died. (Bukhari) Embittered and disappointed, Fatima left Abu Bakr, never to speak to him again. This issue of wills has been discussed here. (4) These two hadiths depict Muhammad as being insecure about his eternal destiny, where exactly he will end up. An Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet that the Ansar drew lots concerning the dwelling of the Emigrants. 'Uthman bin Maz'un was decided to dwell with them (i.e. Um al-'Ala's family), 'Uthman fell ill and I nursed him till he died, and we covered him with his clothes. Then the Prophet came to us and I (addressing the dead body) said, "O Abu As-Sa'ib, may Allah's Mercy be on you! I bear witness that Allah has honored you." On that the Prophet said, "How do you know that Allah has honored him?" I replied, "I do not know. May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle! But who else is worthy of it (if not 'Uthman)?" He said, "As to him, by Allah, death has overtaken him, and I hope the best for him. By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me." By Allah, I will never assert the piety of anyone after him. That made me sad . . . (Bukhari) A parallel hadith expresses the same doubt. . . . The Prophet said, ‘No doubt, death came to him. By Allah, I too wish him good, but by Allah, I do not know what Allah will do with me though I am Allah's Apostle . . .’ (Bukhari) See these parallel hadiths: here, here, and here. To sum up, these five hadiths show Muhammad taking the affairs of his life seriously. Who should get the resources from his many conquests? With which wife should he stay as he lay dying? Who should be his successor? This latter question was never answered with absolute clarity (see the section, below, "How did his followers react?" . Also, the last two hadiths show him as very insecure about his exact destiny after he dies.What were some of his last words? The next four hadiths reveal some of his state of mind on his death bed. (1) He curses Jews and Christians for taking graves as places of worship: When the disease of Allah's Apostle got aggravated, he . . . . would say, ". . . May Allah curse the Jews [and] Christians because they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship." By that he warned his follower of imitating them, by doing that which they did. (Bukhari) (2) Allah’s messenger ordered those closest to him to do three things, the first of which is to eject pagans out of the Arabian Peninsula. Ibn Abbas, his cousin and highly reliable transmitter of traditions, narrated this hadith. [Muhammad] said, "Turn the pagans out of the Arabian Peninsula" (Bukhari) Sura 9:5, coming late in Muhammad’s life, gives the pagans the "option" to convert. If not, they die by the sword. (3) This hadith shows him wishing for a high place in Islamic heaven. The hadith references Sura 4:69, which discusses Muslims obeying Allah and his messenger. Then they are promised good company in Paradise. The hadith says explicitly that these were his last words. When Allah's Apostle was healthy, he used to say, "No prophet dies till he is shown his place in Paradise, and then he is given the option" . . . So when death approached him (during his illness), and while his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious for a while, and when he recovered, he fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, "O Allah! (Let me join) the Highest Companions" (see Qur'an 4:69). I said, "So, he does not choose us." Then I realized that it was the application of the statement he used to relate to us when he was healthy. So that was his last utterance (before he died), i.e. "O Allah! (Let me join) the Highest Companions." (Bukhari) Though "Companions" is in the plural, this prayer indicates that Muhammad was searching for the highest place, next to Allah, the highest "Companion." (4) This short parallel hadith finds him asking Allah for forgiveness and mercy for himself, as he asks to be placed among the highest companions. Why was he asking for forgiveness? I heard the Prophet and listened to him before his death while he was leaning his back on me and saying, "O Allah! Forgive me, and bestow Your Mercy on me, and let me meet the companions." (Bukhari) As noted in the previous hadith, Muhammad is searching for the highest place in Islamic heaven, next to Allah, the "Companion." But the reason he was seeking for forgiveness is that he suffered from sin, as the (linked) article just above this short hadith demonstrates. To sum up this section, Muhammad curses Jews and Christians; he orders the pagans out of the Peninsula (or they could convert or die); he yearns for the highest status in Islamic heaven; and he begs Allah for forgiveness. Where did he die? We already learned that he was staying at his child-bride’s dwelling. She was now eighteen years old, and he was in his early sixties. The Prophet died while he was between my chest and chin, so I never dislike the death agony for anyone after the Prophet. (Bukhari) How did his followers react? They felt heavy grief and wept for him. This is to be expected. But what is more interesting is the brief struggle between two close companions of Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar. This hadith depicts Umar as willingly yielding the caliphate to Abu Bakr. He heard 'Umar's second speech he delivered when he sat on the pulpit on the day following the death of the Prophet. 'Umar recited the Tashahhud [i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle] while Abu Bakr was silent. 'Umar said, "I wish that Allah's Apostle had outlived all of us, i.e., had been the last (to die). But if Muhammad is dead, Allah nevertheless has kept the light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as Allah guided Muhammad with that. And Abu Bakr is the companion of Allah's Apostle. He is the second of the two in the cave [during their flight from Mecca]. He is the most entitled person among the Muslims to manage your affairs. Therefore get up and swear allegiance to him" . . . I heard 'Umar saying to Abu Bakr on that day, "Please ascend the pulpit," and kept on urging him till he ascended the pulpit, whereupon, all the people swore allegiance to him. (Bukhari) The hadith are sometimes contradictory, and this next long one shows Abu Bakr, upon hearing of Muhammad’s death, striding forward and taking charge, even over Umar. Abu Bakr tells Umar to sit down and be quiet. Umar refuses, but the people go over to Abu Bakr, so Umar is shut out, as it were. Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn Abbas: Abu Bakr came out and 'Umar was addressing the people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but 'Umar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but 'Umar again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left 'Umar. Abu Bakr said, "Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: 'Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him . . . (up to the) grateful'" (3.144). Finally, the hadith ends with the people reciting Sura 3:144. The narrator added, "By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it." (Bukhari) Sura 3:144 was revealed after the Battle of Uhud in AD 625. Muhammad’s army lost the battle in theory, but in practice he did not lose much materially, so his community quickly recovered. But he himself was wounded. So he asks his followers this question, predicated on his mortality. 3:144 Muhammad is only a messenger before whom many messengers have been and gone. If he died or were killed, would you revert to your old ways? (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004) Let’s step back and look at the big picture. Though Umar faithfully served Abu Bakr for two years, it should surprise no one that assassinations and wars over the caliphate occur during early Islam. Uthman and Ali, the third and fourth caliphs, were assassinated, for example. It is astonishing that Muhammad did not clarify in specific terms who his successor should be. But why all the violence in early Islam? Muhammad led by example. He either sent out or went out on seventy-four raids, assassination hit squads, skirmishes and full-scale wars. So why wouldn’t his followers do the same? See this series of articles on the outcome of Muhammad’s conquests and warfare in his family. What was the purpose of his death? This question is open to interpretation. It is difficult to assign a purpose to such an important event. Difficult, but not impossible. This one bedrock fact cannot be overlooked. Muhammad died from illness and poison. He did not die as a martyr, from an arrow or spear or sword during the heat of jihad. He did not die during a high and noble sermon. He did not die directly for his people in an act of heroism, laying down his life for them. He did not die from long old age. A Jewess (and other Jews) who fed poison to him wanted to see if he were a prophet and to take revenge. In both cases, he would not even come close to eating the tainted mutton, would he? After all, a prophet could perceive that the meat was bad. But ate it he did. So did he have power from Allah to heal himself? Clearly not. Therefore, the following interpretation of his death is not unreasonable or outlandish, given the facts: His death by sickness and poison had no deep or significant or spiritual purpose. This interpretation, though open to debate, adds up if we measure it on the grand scale of a founder of a worldwide religion and his lack of perception before ingesting poison and his spiritual inability to heal himself through the power of Allah. This interpretation comes into sharper focus when we contrast the death of Muhammad with the death of Jesus. Jesus Jesus came with the express purpose of preaching the good news of the kingdom, living a godly life, and dying as a sacrifice for our sins. This purpose shapes the entire Christ event—his birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension. What caused his death? This one is easy to answer. God ordained that Jesus would die for the sins of the world, as he shed his blood (Luke 22:20). He died by crucifixion (Numbers 21:8-9 and John 3:14-15; Deuteronomy 21:23 and Galatians 3:13). On a human level, the Jewish and Roman authorities put him to death on the charge that he was seeking to be a king (Matthew 27:37). Also, the high priest charged him with blasphemy for affirming the question that he is the Christ, the Son of God (Matthew 26:63-65). The Table below lists scriptures that God carefully fulfilled in Christ about his death, revealing that God orchestrated things behind the scenes. Was his death predicted? This Table lists only some of the prophecies in the Old Testament that find their fulfillment in the New Testament. They specifically deal with the death of Christ and the events leading up to and during and after his crucifixion. Old Testament Topic New Testament Is. 53:6-7 The Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all . . . He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. Suffering Lamb of God Jn. 1:29 Look, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Ex. 24:8 Moses . . . said, "This is the blood of the covenant." Blood of the Covenant Mt. 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Is. 50:6 I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting. Beaten, spit on, and mocked Mk. 15:15, 19-20 Pilate . . . had Jesus flogged . . . Again and again the soldiers struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him . . . they mocked him. Zech. 11:12 So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. Thirty pieces of silver Mt. 26:15 So they counted out for [Judas] thirty pieces of silver. Zech 12:10 They will look on me, the one they pierced. They will look on the one they pierced Jn. 19:34, 37 One of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side . . . They will look on the one they pierced. Ps. 22:18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. Divided and cast lost for his garments Jn. 19:23-24 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them . . . with the undergarment remaining . . . They said . . . "Let’s decide by lot who will get it." Is. 53:12 He poured out his life unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. Numbered with transgressors Lk. 23:32-33 Two other men, both criminals, also were led out to be executed . . . they crucified [Jesus] along with criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Ps 22:7-8 All who see me mock me and hurl insults, shaking their heads. Mocked by a crowd Mt. 27:39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads. Ps. 69:21 They . . . gave me vinegar for my thirst. Vinegar for thirst Jn. 19:28-29 Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a hyssop plant, and lifted it up to Jesus’ lips. Nu. 9:12 They must not leave any of [the lamb] until morning or break any of its bones. (Cf. Ex. 12:46, Ps. 34:20) No broken bones Jn. 19:36 These things happened so that scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken." An odd belief crept into the Quran, which denies Jesus’ physical crucifixion (Sura 4:157). This verse erroneously says that Jesus was made only to appear to have died; he did not actually and physically die on a cross. Evidently, this false doctrine absorbs Docetism, which had been circulating around the Greater Middle East for centuries. "Docetism" means in Greek "to seem" or "to appear." This Table contradicts this strange notion in the Quran. The Table also demonstrates that the Bible is not corrupted, as Muslim polemicists assert. It is impossible that this alignment of prophecies spoken hundreds of years before their fulfillment in the New Testament could be forged. The enemies of earliest Christianity could double-check the Old Testament with the events in Christ’s life, which were fresh in everyone’s memory. In fact, some enemies were hard at work explaining away and covering up the Resurrection. The chief priests and elders bribed the guards of the tomb of Jesus. They were to say that the disciples stole the body; it was not resurrected (Matthew 28:11-15). In this hostile environment, Jesus Christ accurately fulfills Old Testament prophecies, and the authors of New Testament remembered this. To end this section, here are passages in which Jesus predicts his own death in specific terms: Matthew 12:39-41 and Luke 11:29:30; 16:21-28, cf. Mark 8:31 and Luke 9:22-27; Matthew 20:17-19, cf. Mark 10:32-34; Luke 18:31-33; Luke 9:44; John 12:20-26. Therefore, it is impossible for a Bible-educated Christian to deny the actual and physical crucifixion. This is the climax of the Four Gospels, along with his resurrection and ascension. What were some of his concerns before he died? He was concerned with the following things, which represent others not mentioned here: establishing the New Covenant and dying for the sins of many, by shedding his blood (Matthew 26:28); praying for Peter so that God would protect him from Satan, and after his restoration for betraying Jesus, the Lord asks him to strengthen his brothers (Luke 22:32); teaching his disciple to wash each other’s feet, in humility (John 13:17); comforting his disciples, as he prepares to die (John 14:1-4); promising the Holy Spirit as the Comforter and Helper (John 14:15-21; 16:5-16); teaching his disciples to live in Christ as a branch lives in a vine, and to love one another (John 15:1-17); praying for his immediate disciples (John 17:6-19); praying for all believers in him (John 17:20-26); healing the high priest’s servant’s ear, which Peter cut off during the arrest of Jesus (Luke 22:51; John 18:10); handing his mother over to the care of John, while Jesus is dying on the Cross (John 19:26-27); fulfilling Old Testament prophecies while on the Cross (see "Last words," below). Therefore, no one can justly accuse Jesus of being selfish and of leading his disciples by example to fight each other for political dominance (Matthew 20:25-28). What were his last words? Jesus speaks important, final words on the Cross, and they fulfill Old Testament prophecies. Old Testament Topic New Testament Ps. 22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Forsaken as the sins of the world are taken on himself Mt. 27:46 "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Is. 53:12 He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors. Interceding for transgressors Lk. 23:32, 42-43 Two other men, both criminals, were led out with him to be executed . . . [A criminal] said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." Ps. 31:5 Into your hands I commit my spirit. Committing his spirit to his Father Lk. 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Moreover, Jesus speaks important words either just before the crucifixion or without a direct fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy. For example, as Jesus was carrying his Cross to the place of crucifixion, he heard women weeping and wailing for him. He takes time to teach them, though under personal duress, about future events, which will cause them distress. They should not weep for him, therefore, but for themselves and their children (Luke 23:27-31). Next, while on the Cross he speaks words of forgiveness for those who were crucifying him. Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. (Luke 23:34) Finally, on the Cross he announces this blessed fact: "It is finished" (John 19:30). This means that Jesus is the victor. He accomplished everything that the Father purposed him to do while on earth. Where did he die? He died outside Jerusalem, on a hill called Golgotha, meaning "the Place of the Skull." But the most important place is on the Cross. How did his followers react? Luke 23:27-31 describes a large crowd following him as he carried his Cross to Golgotha. The women were weeping. This is to be expected. But what about his immediate disciples? They were scattered like sheep without a shepherd, as the Old Testament predicted. Old Testament Topic New Testament Zech. 13:7 Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. Struck shepherd; scattered sheep Mt. 26:31-32 Then Jesus said to [his disciples], "This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee." The good news is that after his resurrection, Jesus regathered his disciples and commissioned them to go into all the world and preach the gospel (Matthew 28:18-20). After the ascension and Pentecost, they went about spreading the gospel and working miracles. They did not wage wars on each other or assassinate each other. All but one of the Twelve (after a replacement for Judas was appointed) were martyred by local authorities or mobs. These apostles and later generations of Christians turned the world right-side up by preaching alone, not by violence and military conquests. What was the purpose of his death? The death of Jesus has a divine purpose, which can be subdivided into related multiple purposes. The Table of prophecies of the Old Testament and their fulfillment in the New Testament (see "Was his death predicted?" above) outlines many of them, but three stand out, though two of the three are not mentioned in any Table here. First, Jesus was establishing the New Covenant, which had been predicted in Jeremiah 31:31-34; 32:40. Luke 22:20 says: In the same way, after the supper [Jesus] took the cup, saying, "This is the cup of the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for many." The second purpose is related to the first. Jesus dies for our sins, so we no longer have to fear being judged by a holy and righteous God. Matthew 26:28 says: This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Finally, the third purpose is the fact that Jesus is our Redeemer. Matthew 20:28 says: . . . The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Jesus did not come to be pampered and served by slaves. In fact, the Greek word for "ransom" was commonly used for the price to redeem a slave. Thus, Christ uses his priceless life to redeem us from the slavery of sin and Satan. Conclusion Four truths come out of this study. (1) Jesus and Muhammad lived different lives. Jesus came with the express purpose to preach the good news of the kingdom, to live a godly life, and to die as a sacrifice for our sins. And this purpose shapes his birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension. On the other side, Muhammad lived a life that included raids and wars and collection of war booty and multiple marriages. His death reflects this kind of life. (2) Jesus was destined by God to die for the sins of the world. But Muhammad died of sickness exacerbated by poison. It is unimaginable that Jesus would die from such causes. He healed many with illnesses and even demon possession, in an atmosphere of faith. His mission was to set them free of ailments. (3) Jesus forgave his crucifiers. He prayed for a criminal and promised him that he would be in paradise. Jesus knew where he was going—back to heaven where he originally came from. In contrast, Muhammad asked Allah for forgiveness and mercy for his own soul, begging his deity to raise him up to the highest companions. He also cursed his enemies. Muhammad said: "O Allah! Forgive me, and bestow Your Mercy on me, and let me meet the companions." (Bukhari) And Muhammad cursed his enemies yet again: May Allah curse the Jews [and] Christians . . . (Bukhari) Jesus said: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34) Jesus answered [the criminal], "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43) (4) Jesus was raised from the dead, bodily. Muhammad’s body lies still in his grave. Anyone can claim that his soul will go to heaven, for no one can see a disembodied soul. But the earliest Christians said Jesus’ body was raised to life. This fatwa (legal decree) at a Muslim website clarifies a question posed by a Muslim. The Messenger . . . died and was buried in his grave; hence . . . Abu Bakr . . . said: "Whoever used to worship Muhammad, Muhammad has died, but whoever used to worship Allah, Allah is alive and will never die." (Source) This page has a further link to an image of the prophet of Islam’s tomb, where Muslims can take an extra pilgrimage. Per contra, the following passage comes from the Gospel of Mark and says that Jesus was raised from the dead, bodily and physically. 1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' " 8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. (Mark 16:16:1- ![]() He has risen. The tomb is empty. |

The Anglican Bishop of Lagos West Diocese, the Rt. Rev. (Dr.) Peter Adebiyi, at the weekend closed down St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Mushin, Lagos, for its failure to remit ‘covenant seed’ to him. The Bishop also sacked the Vicar of the church, the Rev. Canon Edison Chigozie Mgbeokwere, with his assistants following a fracas in the church. Members of the church, however, defied the new directive by the Bishop. When P.M.News visited the church yesterday, the members had forced the locked gate of the church open and conducted service without a pastor (vicar) or head. The cause of the fight, which has been reported to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Marvel Akpoyibo, could be traced to a meeting between the bishop and the vicar with his congregation. At the meeting, P.M.NEWS learnt that Bishop Adebiyi said the church has not contributed the amount of money the parish remitted to the diocese, stressing that loyalty was more important to him than hard work. The action of the Lordship has prompted the church to protest by writing a petition to the prelate of Anglican Church in Nigeria, Bishop Peter J. Akinola, that they no longer want to be under Lagos West Diocese of the church. Members of the church, who spoke to P.M.NEWS, alleged that the bishop was fighting with the church’s heads because of money. They said the church has been paying assessment levy to the bishop but that was not enough for him, as he insisted he wanted more. Though the Public Relations Officer to the Bishop, Tunji Oguntuase, confirmed to P.M.NEWS that the bishop ordered the closure of the church, he denied the allegation that it was closed because of money. He blamed the rift on insubordination by the church’s heads. The Bishop’s PRO attributed the problem to the heads of the church, whom he said do not want to be monitored on how they manage the church’s purse. He maintained that the bishop has the power to instil sanity in any of the parishes under him. |
Look around you, The Best cars are driven by the Ladies these days, Most good Jobs in the banks have been taken over by Females, They say it is easier for Ladies to get Jobs than the males especially when a man is the employer, Yet most of them have nothing to offer in the employment, the offices all over the federation have become the reserves of the Female who rather than work gossip about the Boss and his advances, sometimes I wonder why women should be pastors because their husbands are Pastors, though most of them look demonized and possessed That is why robbers invades the banks and rob successfully, because chickens are managers, Those days people employ men as secretaries But not again, Even pastor have female secretary other than their wives The influence of women is much and that is why we are as corrupt as we are in Nigeria, the women compel you to steal money as Politician so to impress them, the wife of our President love the title “First Lady” even now I think she has to tell us where she kept the President. If you know what I am saying, where are the Men? |

Too many things happening to Nigeria and Nigerians at the same time, Just about when we are covering our shame of being the most corrupt country in Africa, Our President’s illness took a different dimension that it has become embarrassing that a once self proclaimed Giant of Africa is still lingering at 50, without good leaders, without electricity, no viable rail line, bad roads, bad Police, dishonourable-honourables, to the extent that the first Black America president showed his distaste for whatever we brandish as democracy by slighting us in favour of our neighbour Ghana who indeed has improved since gaining independence Just when we should be looking for a better relationship with International communities that matters, our President gave us all a national disgrace by a decision to treat himself in a Saudi hospital and made it a secret for more than Two month whereas he could have received a better treatment in America or Germany where he has been so frequent since becoming president I may be wrong but the President choice of Hospital may be less equipped than some hospital in Nigeria Alas, just when he was cooling off away from Nigerian shore and from Nigerians who employed him, another Young 23 yr old boy made a fanatical attempt on American plane leaving us with bunch of Politician who could not represent a nation rather they lied about signing all sorts from Saudi and BBC proved a point and made our incompetence vivid by presenting a voice recording in 58 second of a man claimed to be our president The bomber made the President of America to express fully his resentment for Nigeria which he showed in action upon visit to Africa I think we need divine intervention if not war to eliminate all the political invalids in our beloved country What do you think? |
