Solocoin:So the religion Christ Practiced actually had no name till Christ died and some unknown disbelievers in Christ gave some people a name? Seems you don't get my point! During the lifetime of Jesus, there was no religion named Christianity! No one was called a Christian. Islam was the religion during the time of Muhammad and he called himself a Muslim. Now answer me was Mohammed a Muslim? Did he start the Muslim? Did he worship as a Muslim?Yes, Muhammad was a Muslim. He called himself one. Allah called the disciples of Jesus Muslims in the Qur'an. Allah also called Moses, Noah and Abraham Muslims. In fact all Prophets are Muslims in Islam. |

AntiChristian:It's written in a book that you took seriously so it's your own book that says so not what all books say! ![]() |

Kajibona:So you easily select verses, out of context, from the same adulterated book you warn Christians against to tell people of your Mohammed? I wonder sometimes what sought of education you lot are given where you come from that would make you think it sensible to cast a book down as worthless yet turn around to claim it glorifies your prophet who has no rhyme or reason to be included in it. ![]() 1. Nothing of Zephaniah speaks of Mohammed who happens to not be of the blood of Israel and as such could not have been included in the plan of the God of Israel as a result. We went through this from earlier, remember? ![]() 3. YHWH is the God of Israel and He is not Allah of Mohammed. ![]() |

MightySparrow:Anyone who submits only to the supreme God and obeys Him (through the Prophet He sent) is a Muslim. |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by AntiChristian: 4:07pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse:But your book never mentioned Christianity nor Judaism! ![]() |

AntiChristian:We are saying the same thing: Adam and Nuhu and Musa and ibrahim and Yahaya and Isa. All of them said Shahada and are Muslims! ![]() |

MightySparrow:They are Muslims by submission! Don't be a mumu! |

AntiChristian:Moses submitted to the God of Israel, YHWH, same as all of the prophets including Jesus Christ, and we all know that YHWH is not Allah. So don't you instead need to rephrase that there to include all those who submit to deities other than Allah? ![]() Basically, you should reword that to indicate that so long as submission to any deity is involved, one is automagically a Muslim by it. ![]() |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by MightySparrow: 5:31pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
AntiChristian:They prayed facing Mecca. They knacked their heads on the the ground. They killed for Allah. You said they submitted to Allah through Mohammed. (Anyone who submits only to the supreme God and obeys Him (through the Prophet He sent) is a Muslim) You are a potato. ![]() |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by MaxInDHouse(m): 5:38pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
AntiChristian:Perhaps you need to know where the word first appear! Act 11:26 What your book says is of no relevance if with your Allah, Qur'an, Muhammad and Islam you people can't secure LOVE, JOY and PEACE in any of all the different sects claiming Muslims on this planet. Once politics or racism calls the same person with whom you climbed Arafat is no longer your brother because instantly he becomes your enemy that you should kill at a go! ![]() |

Lukuluku69:look my friend, I'm entitled to my opinion is not the same thing as obsession. Islam is your opinion, mine is Christianity. Be your Muslim let me be my Christian Ok? |

AntiChristian:This is very funny Allah everyone Muslim, that's a really misconception and your religious is giving you a false information about others religion. So what is allow call atheist? You didn't read the place I gave you and you're just here for argument and not learning. You also have understand about English. Now show me where Mohammed was call himself a Muslim. |

AntiChristian:1. Jesus Christ did not practice a religion. Instead, He live in obedience to God's Law of Moses, the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the land of Canaan. ![]() 2. Jesus Christ did not call His own followers to living by the very same Law which He lived by as He instead gave them a New and different Law which He then bid them to submit to and obey. Given this, it is then of error to claim that Followers of Jesus Christ ought to live by God same Law that Jesus Christ lived. ![]() 3. Jesus Christ submitted to YHWH, so also did all the prophets from Moses until John the Baptist, the last of them. Then Jesus Christ commanded His own followers to submit to a different God. And we know YHWH is not Alllah, neither is Jesus Christ Allah. Now, if all are simply Muslims on grounds of submission to a deity , then wouldnt that also imply that all idol worshippers out there who equally submit are also Muslims? ![]() |

Kajibona:Christianity is not a religion, it is a way of life. It is the way we live as the Lord Jesus Christ lived here on earth. That is why our as a Christian must be patterned after Christ. Christianity means Christ like. The people of Antioch saw the disciples living like Christ. So the Lord Jesus Christ was never a Christian, he is the originator of Christianity |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by delkuf(m): 10:55pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
Kajibona:Yes I am |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by Kobojunkie: 10:58pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
delkuf:A Jesus Christ instead said, His followers are those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments - John 8 vs 31 - 36 - not those of you who submit to and obey the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches), lies, which you hide behind the name of Jesus Christ- Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13. ![]() |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by delkuf(m): 11:04pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
Kobojunkie:And I told I obey the doctrines and traditions of men. That is why you couldn't answer that question about bringing out the verse in Exodus. You just be jumping up and down with evil doctrines and believes |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by Kobojunkie: 11:14pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
delkuf:1. Hence you are by your words not a follower of Jesus Christ but of the religion created by men using His name as cover. ![]() 2. I only answer when I am certain one will benefit in some way from the knowing. ![]() |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by AntiChristian: 2:08pm On Feb 21, 2023 |
Kobojunkie:I get it. You are not really a "Christian" as others. 2. Jesus Christ did not call His own followers to living by the very same Law which He lived by as He instead gave them a New and different Law which He then bid them to submit to and obey. Given this, it is then of error to claim that Followers of Jesus Christ ought to live by God same Law that Jesus Christ lived.You mean Jesus was a Jew (i.e. practiced Judaism) but gave you Christian laws? 3. Jesus Christ submitted to YHWH, so also did all the prophets from Moses until John the Baptist, the last of them. Then Jesus Christ commanded His own followers to submit to a different God. And we know YHWH is not Alllah, neither is Jesus Christ Allah. Now, if all are simply Muslims on grounds of submission to a deity , then wouldnt that also imply that all idol worshippers out there who equally submit are also Muslims?Our Belief is that all Prophet including Adam till Jesus and Muhammad are Muslims. I don't know why the jews were afraid to call your God's name (YHWH/YHVH) but the name of the creator of the earth and everything who deserved our worship is Allah. Not that Muslims don't believe Allah has a son whether metaphorically, spiritually or physically! Neither do any Prophet believe God has a Spiritual son siting next to his throne in heaven! As regards idol worshipers, they also believe in blood redemption in one way or the other, Animal blood or human blood. They also worship many gods which throws them out of Islam. Allah has no partners, helper, son, wife, etc in his dominion and sovereignty! To Him alone we direct our worship, supplication and prayers! |

Solocoin:Atheists are simply disbelievers! You didn't read the place I gave you and you're just here for argument and not learning. You also have understand about English. Now show me where Mohammed was call himself a Muslim.We learn each day. Muhammad did all what Muslims do today! He prayed Salah 5 times daily! He fasted in the month of Ramadan! He went for Hajj Pilgrimage in Mecca. He commanded Zakaah to be payed He taught people to about the articles of faith! (3:102) Believers! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and see that you do not die save in the state of submission to Allah (as Muslims). |

MaxInDHouse:The word actually never appear! Christian is not Christianity! And being Christ-like is not a religion! |
| Re: Who Is A Christian? by AntiChristian: 2:25pm On Feb 21, 2023 |
MightySparrow:I would say you are dumb, ignorant and arrogant! Islam in a general sense means submitting to Allaah alone, which implies worshipping Him alone and obeying Him alone. Everyone who believes in Allaah alone and worships Him according to His laws that have not been abrogated is a Muslim. Shaykh al-Islam said in al-Tadmuriyyah, p. 168-170: This religion is the religion of Islam, besides which Allaah will accept no other religion, either from the earlier or the later generations. All the Prophets followed Islam. Allaah says of Nooh (interpretation of the meaning): “And recite to them the news of Nooh (Noah). When he said to his people: ‘O my people, if my stay (with you), and my reminding (you) of the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allaah is hard on you, then I put my trust in Allaah. So devise your plot, you and your partners, and let not your plot be in doubt for you. Then pass your sentence on me and give me no respite. 72. ‘But if you turn away (from accepting my doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allaah), then no reward have I asked of you, my reward is only from Allaah, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims (i.e. those who submit to Allaah’s Will)’” [Yoonus 10:71-72] And Allaah says of Ibraaheem (interpretation of the meaning): “And who turns away from the religion of Ibraaheem (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, We chose him in this world and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous. 131. When his Lord said to him, ‘Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!’ He said, ‘I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).’ 132. And this (submission to Allaah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibraaheem (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya’qoob (Jacob) (saying), ‘O my sons! Allaah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims — Islamic Monotheism)’” [al-Baqarah 2:130-132] And He says of Moosa (interpretation of the meaning): “And Moosa (Moses) said: ‘O my people! If you have believed in Allaah, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims (those who submit to Allaah’s Will)’” [Yoonus 10:84] And He says of the Messiah (interpretation of the meaning): “And when I (Allaah) inspired Al‑Hawariyyoon (the disciples) [of ‘Eesa (Jesus)] to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: ‘We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims’” [al-Maa'idah 5:111] And He says of the previous Prophets (interpretation of the meaning): “…by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allaah’s Will …” [al-Maa’idah 5:44] And He tells us that Bilqeez said (interpretation of the meaning): “My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit [in Islam, together with Sulaymaan (Solomon)] to Allaah, the Lord of the ‘Aalameen(mankind, jinn and all that exists)” [al-Naml 27:44] Islam in a general sense means submitting to Allaah alone, which implies worshipping Him alone and obeying Him alone. |

AntiChristian:Of course brainwashed never to support anyone in killing my neighbours. Isaiah 2:2-4 But you aren't brainwashed when you support the killing of your fellow Muslims with whom you traveled to Mecca, climbed Arafat, kiss and bow to the black stone yet at the call of racism and politics you will shoot him at sight.

AntiChristian:1. Jesus Christ did not practice Judaism. Judaism is one of the very religions that Jesus Christ railed against when He spoke against the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Laws warning His followers not to follow in their footsteps. ![]() That said, Jesus Christ lived according to the Old Law of Moses which is the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan. What He gave to His followers is a different Constitution for a different Nation over which He is King and Judge, the Constitution in God's special Nation of Priests - Exodus 19 vs 6 - which is the Kingdom of God. God does not give men religion. Instead, He gives them Laws and His overarching mandate of obedience of His teachings and commandments for all citizens in His Nation. ![]() 2. By pretending God and the creator who chose Israel is the same entity as Allah, what you are trying to get to believe is that after choosing only Israel as His inheritance in the world, God change His mind and decided He wanted to inherit all of mankind again meaning He lied. Only a person who does not understand God's plan beginning from even the book of Genesis would suggest God not only changed His mind but invariably lied to the people He chose. So, you are not here attempting to convince us of Allah by proclaiming him some sort of trickster deity, right? ![]() 2. Your Islamic copies of the prophets may not have believed in God's plan, but the prophets of Israel, from Moses to John the Baptist, believed that God would send one, from Israel, to rule over them who was Lord over them. David confirmed this in His songs. ![]() 3. Look, YHWH is obviously not Allah otherwise Allah would be nothing but a trickster deity who lies and deceives men, changing his mind any time he wills. Also, the prophets from Moses to Jesus submitted to YHWH, a different God and creator from your Allah, yet you accept them as Muslims — submission to a deity being the major criteria —, so I see no reason why Idol worshippers who equally submit to some deity out there should not be included in the set. ![]() |

| Re: Who Is A Christian? by Kobojunkie: 9:00pm On Feb 21, 2023 |
AntiChristian:Speaking of afterlifes, what Allah has prepared is also not same as that prepared for the Israelites by the God of Israel nor does it come anywhere close to that put forth by Jesus Christ- the Nation of Priests of Israel. ![]() |
