You missed the point
There is no abstaining from food in eating twice a day. And this has nothing to do with comparison with any other religion. BTW, every criticism of Muslim act does not always make the person a christian, it could be from an atheist or a traditionalist
While I agree in what you said by saying not all that criticise Muslims are Christians I don't share the ideology that what Christians or other religion do Muslims must do it. Everybody with his own rituals and doctrines moreso, even in my Christian faith there are different denomination with different rituals and doctrines while the major theme is centralized on being a follower of Christ. Above all the literal definition of fasting is abstaining from food and other available desires in a particular time no specifications whatsoever about when and how to eat? Conclusively, 90% of Christians embarked on dry fasting for 18 hours and not even 24 hours meaning they embarked on 001.

Are you sure you a Christian, because you already passing judgement which is against the teaching of Christ?
If yiou know Islam for what it really is, you'll know he is not passing any judgement

Bro stop misquoting the Bible out of context! You might be doing it to promote unity but it should not be at the expense of burying the truth! you can only be a disciple of Jesus if you are a Christian and can be a true disciple if you follow the teachings of Christ. Christ said he is the way the truth and life no one comes to the father except through him. Emphasis "No one"! The origin of Christianinty is gotten from Christ!
Christianity is not religion. Many of these Ur big pastors are not even Christians in the true sense. People that could complain about evil before Tinubu but today have keep silent because of what they might stand to lose.

The earlier yoiu understand that a Meusliim places reliigiion above humanity, the better for yoiu.

A Meusilim can morda yoiu without second thought, provided it satisfies his alllla.

They are both born again according to the Bible. If we both have love for eachother then we are doing the will of God and we are both disciples of Jesus even if our religion is different. Truth.

John 14: 21
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
Yoiur knowledge is so shialow!
Meusliim doesn't have the commandments of Jeisus

A Meusliim doesn't love Jeisius

A Meusliim doesn't see God as the father of Jeisius

No part of that verse concerns a Meusliim at all!

People usually think the faith they grew up with is the right one. A Muslim says Islam is true, a Christian says Christianity is true, a Hindu says Hinduism is true. That’s normal.
But believing your path is right doesn’t mean you get to judge someone else’s. If two people are respecting each other’s faith and fasting together, that’s already better than trying to tell someone their soul needs fixing.
Don't use yoiur shialow reasoning to judge Chriistiainity or Isleam. Go and study. Get knowledge about the truth and yoiu'll know better than the triash yoiu wrote above.

This isn't about church. It's about the truth.

Do yoiu know that Meuslims call Christians "curzzed people" each time they pray?; And they pray 5 times daily!

This means the Meuslim guy call his Chriistiian wife a curzzed person 5 times daily! Yet, they are celebrating fasting together! grin

So, what's the basis of their union?! And what's there to celebrate in the news?!

I guess the guy doesn't understand his reliigiion very well!

If I may ask, which of the denominations of Christians that are fasting.
Cox in my church we fast at a particular day in every week of the month, so we nor dey follow this fasting period.
I guess it's the catholic that observe the lent period, abeg make Una enlighten me of the category of Christians, or denominations that also observe the fasting at this lent period.
For some, (Muslims) they think it's all Christians that follow fast this period of lent, which i know it's not so.
Somebody enlighten me pls .
The old Churches observe lent. Catholics and Anglicans in particular. The Pentecostal Churches have chosen different fasting periods. The important thing is to remember that the Bible emphasizes the need to fast and pray. There are many examples of how people accomplished great things in the Biblical era by so doing e.g. Jesus Christ, Elijah and Esther.

My dear correspondent,

It is often the case that matters of faith stir deep feeling in the hearts of many. Throughout my years limited life, I found that the most enduring principle in such discussions is respect. Respect for one another, and for the convictions people hold dear.

Knowledge, as you rightly suggest, is a noble pursuit. Yet wisdom lies not only in studying the beliefs of others, but also in speaking with civility, even when we disagree. A society that values understanding must allow room for dialogue without resorting to harsh words.

Both Christianity and Islam (largest religions in the world), like many traditions of faith, have inspired millions toward charity, patience, and devotion. When discussing them, it serves us well to approach the subject with curiosity rather than contempt, and dignity rather than delulu derision.

If one wishes to persuade others of the truth as one sees it, the most effective method is rarely anger as you have displayed, it is calm explanation, thoughtful study, and gracious conduct.

And so I would gently suggest sir, pursue knowledge diligently, express your convictions confidently, but always remember that courtesy is the companion of wisdom.

With measured regard,
I wish you the best in knowing better than the trash you read. ✍️

It is obvious that you are from those unexposed regions where only one religion and African tradition is dominant.

In Yorubaland, hardly does religion play a role when we date. This is because each family has adherents of different faiths and you are not ignorant illiterate about other faiths.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,GCFR, is today happily married to Senator(Mrs), Remi Tinubu, a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, because the Yoruba are sophisticated and exposed to other faiths right from our childhood.

The moment I saw "interfaith marraige" , I knew it will be Yoruba. That is part of our sophistication of why we are the most progressive tribe in Africa.
Sophistication that chose to dine and wine with religious extreamist.

With time that sophistication will be gone.

We believe you.

You don't even have a clue where the deception is placed.

Na so confusion de take start. Mixed Multitude
A born again and spirit filled Christian marrying a Muslim is being unequally yoked. As a Christian father, his family, particularly his children are one of the primary groups he would give account to Hod for. He has a duty to train them in the way of the Lord. Fulfilling that duty with a Muslim wife is going to be very difficult if not impossible. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. A sprit filled Christian and a Muslim do not operate at the same spiritual level. It is worse if the man is the Muslim because husbands have spiritual authority over their wives.

Now this does not mean interfaith marriages cannot exist peacefully and even successfully by world standards. It only means it would be difficult neigh impossible for each to maximize their spiritual potential as a couple. For the average Nigerian Christian and Muslim, it is not a big deal though, particularly in the South West. Northern Muslims view it differently after Dan Fodio's Jihad.

Meaning, if you are fasting you should go 24 hours without eating... Tell me in what passage of the Holy Bible or the so called common knowledge was it stated? Christians embarked on 001 fasting most a times... Muslims embrace 101 fasting so what is wrong with that? Just because they do not follow the protocols and tenets of Christianity they are not fasting are they Christians? Don't they have there own rituals? Maybe if a Hindu fast on 000 he will say myself that I am a Christian I am not fasting because I am embarking on 001 does it make any sense! Please wake up to reality...!
