bring out the verse in Leviticus so that we read together
You obviously have never read Leviticus else you would have seen that from Chapter 1 to 17 is all about atonement and forgiveness of sin.

you are confusing yourself. So are telling me that I must read Leviticus from chapter 1 to chapter 17 before my sins before my sins can be forgiven. I show you that forgiveness comes through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus but you said no. Who or what can make my sins be forgiven

Did you not hear him say that "the death of the Lord Jesus is not only for the forgiveness of sins. It goes beyond that."?
Is it needed for anything eternal life?

The rich ruler asked Jesus, so why didn't he inform him about his death?

And the criminal crucified with the biblical Jesus never believed in the trinity nor in the death of Jesus. Jesus still promised him paradise.

we need the death of the Lord Jesus because that is the only way our sins can be paid. I have told that the Lord Jesus can not be going round the world forgiving everyone of there sins. John calling people to repent doesn't mean he has the power to forgive sins. Only the Lord Jesus through his death and resurrection can cleanse anyone of there sins
So before Jesus no one's sins was cleanse?

Jesus said in the Lord's prayer "And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sins against us"...Where is blood atonement in this?

John came and told people to repent!

Jesus too told people to repent in Luke 13.

U can see the scam. How can u say islam existed before and after Muhammed. Does that not negate the need for a prophet? If the religion was the same and already known. Thats the scam of religion
Where's the scam?

God has only one religion, one way of Life!

Christianity, Judaism and many others are creation of men. They were never named by the people they were named after. Moses didn't mention a religion from God as Judaism. Even Jesus didn't mention Christianity as the religion he brought from God!

What is common to all Prophets is the worship of one God alone in truth! They all submitted to this worship wholeheartedly!

omoredia:
Use ur logic. If u say Jesus was muslim and Christians follow Jesus then are Christians now muslims? Cos Christians do not take Muhammed as one of the prophets just as muslims reject the idea Jesus is son of God.
Christians who follow Jesus in truth before the Prophethood of Muhammad till they die are Muslims.
The Christians who met Muhammad but reject him are disbelievers.

And God does not need a son to inherit him.
God is far above having sons to help him do anything!

How was Abraham a Muslim when he argued and negotiated with God concerning Sodom and Gomorrah
Even Moses questioned God when he was sent as a prophet to the children of Israel
Jonah even ran away
How were all these muslims if they negotiated with God at one time or the other?
You're simply confused
Your first confusion is who is a Muslim?

Are all these people trinitarians?

How many Gods did they worship?

One thing common to all of them is that they all submitted wholly to Almighty Allah in worship!

And no one argues with God! He does whatever He wills!

If Islam is not an Arabic culture, why that ONLY Muhammad came from Saudi Arabia or Arabia peninsula, which Prophets originated from Saudi Arabia or worship kaaba the black stone Muhammad placed on your in Saudi Arabia?
Where does it state that many Prophets must come from a particular place for them all to be legit?

Islam is an Arabic culture as ONLY Muhammad came from Saudi Arabia, only him worshipped allah as a prophet, only him circumbulated and worship kaaba and many more! No other prophet worshipped kaaba and performed hajj to Saudi Arabia, no other prophet prayed to allah while facing the direction of qibla!

I believe your quran says a Muslim is one who submits to Allah

According to the bible, Abraham negotiated with God concerning the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah

Even in your quran, Abraham told Muhammad to negotiate with God concerning prayer times not so?

How do these two scenarios above fit into the narrative of submission

Then believing that Muhammed is a prophet is what makes a muslim and not in any other thing so u are wrong to claim that Jesus is Muslim when Jesus clearly rejected Muhammed as a prophet.

Delku, don't do like the pagans here. You verily know that I did not say that.

And further, you can not make any valid comment against me, if you have not read and appreciated The Laws, so I leave it to your will.

Whoever was nice in human history is a prophet to them yet they will not follow Ọ̀rúnmìlà, Ọ̀ṣun, Ọbàtálá, Ọ̀ṣẹ̀rẹ̀màgbò because those ones are local but they are ready to die for a Saudi Arabian man who claims prophet just like their own here! smiley

It wasn't Abraham but Moses that told Muhammad to return and make more requests! It is not a negotiation! Negotiation is done between two equal or almost equal entities. When it is between God and man, it is a prayer, supplication, request, etc.

Abraham was told to sacrifice his son... did he object? He submitted!

The anti-Christ rejects that Jesus is the son of God. If Jesus was not born of God they who is the father of Jesus? Islam says Jesus is not born of God but yet claim that Jesus has no father because he was created at God's command who is now thr father of Jesus? U can see how religion confuses the truth. If u say God cannot have a child should that not equate that every man born must also have a father?

Yes he was. Orunmila preached and worshipped Olodumare Adaniwaye the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth

So he must be regarded as a Muslim, a messenger and a Prophet by Islamic standards

Not true. Negotiation can be done between two entities even if they are not on equal grounds. We have seen smaller countries negotiate trade deals with bigger and richer countries.

Be it prayer, supplication, request, negotiation etc, none of these suggest submission to a given will. Instead they suggest mediation and interjection of the initial position of the will of the Superior one.

Abraham told Isaac in the Bible that the Lord himself will provide another lamb for sacrifice. That is in itself a belief that God will not do something that will hurt him. This belief stems from the promise God made unto Him concerning his future.

Besides, you have not touched on the subject of Abraham negotiating, supplicating or requesting for a change of heart from God concerning Sodom and Gomorrah!

If Moses and Muhammad had believed in submission to Allah, they will not keep going back to Allah to ask for a change in his given instructions till they were satisfied with the final position. Submission does not leave room for further requests or supplications

Antichristian2:
So before Jesus no one's sins was cleanse?

Jesus said in the Lord's prayer "And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sins against us"...Where is blood atonement in this?

John came and told people to repent!

Jesus too told people to repent in Luke 13.
1, yes before the Lord Jesus no one's sins where forgiven. What they do then was that they partial atonement. Before the Lord Jesus, when you sin there are some animals or birds you kill and use the blood to partially cleanse you of your sin. No one's sin before the Lord Jesus was eternally forgiven. That was why when the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross in the flesh, he went to the dead and his blood to cleanse those before him of there sins.
2, there is no blood atonement in the scripture you quoted because didn't use word sin. The scripture says debt. I don't know which version of the Bible you quoted that from. The Bible says debt and never sin. Maybe you show us the version of the Bible you quoted that from.
3, John came and told people to repent.
The Lord Jesus came and told people to repent.
Me too I have come and am telling people to repent. So what is your point. I am telling people to repent and am sure there are billions of people out also telling people to repent. John was a human being calling people to repent. The Lord Jesus was a human being calling people to repent. Me too I am a human being and I am calling you to repent. Repent from all this your hide and seek. Except the Lord Jesus. Believe that he is the son of God who came to this world in the flesh died on the cross in the flesh and resurrected from the dead on the 3 day in the flesh. Open your heart to this and the Lord Jesus Christ will save you and give a new heart. Repent now before it is too late

You have to sincerely repent. That is confess and forsake your evil ways. God will forgive. He does not need a human death/or sacrifice before he can forgive. His hands are not too short. Though your heart be as black as cool. He can make them as white as snow.

without the death of the Lord Jesus there is no remission of sin. If you confess and forsake your evil ways if you did not believe and except the Lord Jesus Christ, you are deceiving yourself.

Which God did he worship and pray to?

Those who follow Christ in truth before the Prophethood of Muhammad are Muslims.
Those who follow Moses in truth before the Prophethood of Jesus are Muslims.
Same for Noah and others!
what do you think is the meaning of the world Christian. It means Christ like. People seeing how the disciples are behaving and they liking it to Christ. They saw that they behave like Christ. And you are saying that the Lord Jesus didn't practice Christianity when it was through him Christianity came to be. Stop fooling around. Except Jesus

Did Christ practiced any religious while on earth according to the Bible?

He told the rich ruler to obey the commandments and follow him. The same thing other prophets preached. More importantly, he worshipped his creator.

Now you worship Jesus. Jesus had a God! Even when Satan tempted Jesus to bow to him Jesus said only God deserves the worship!

Even Satan doesn't recognise Jesus as God!

Christianity, Buddhism, etc are names after people. They are the creations of people not God. The person who first called people Christlike was an unknown disbeliever!
