Icecream4U:
i am tired of hearing "that is in the old testament". Is the old testament no longer useful today? Why do pastors still quote and practice things from the old testament.
Also, is tithing in the new testament or in the old testament?

am with you bro....I don't understand all these people saying old testament this or that...it is the Bible!!!!!...people just like to add and remove what they like...God bless us

However you may have tried to justify the inciting of violence/killing in the verses I pointed out. One thing is still certain.. You are permitted to kill in Islam in some certain situations.. Which is still violent.

If you say so, but violence and killing against someone who attempts violence and killing me is only fair, no apologies for that.

I'm learning a great deal here o. But honestly speaking, is the old testament not inspired by God and why will its laws be considered unuseful and please is there any biblical reference to its unusefulness?

hooli:
Some would point that the Bible also contains verses that incite killings and violence. True,but that is in the old testament before the coming of Jesus, he came to change all that.and that's why Christian lay emphasis on living Christ-like. So over to the Muslims can you clarify the justification of the violence in this verses?

Please christ changed non of that please.. . Get ur facts straight

Really? OK. How many books make up the Bible? Before you answer think of the apocryphal books like tobith and Maccabees

Are you saying there was a bible before Prophet Isa (Jesus) came to existence?

An analysis into whether the Quran is more violent than the Bible found that killing and destruction occur more
frequently in the Christian texts than the Islamic.

Investigating whether the Quran really is more violent than its Judeo-Christian counterparts, software engineer Tom Anderson processed the text of the Holy books to find which contained the most violence.

In a blog post , Mr Anderson explains: "The project was inspired by the ongoing public debate around whether or not terrorism connected with Islamic fundamentalism reflects something inherently and distinctly violent about Islam compared to other major religions."

Using text analytics software he had developed, named Odin Text, he analysed both the New International Version of both the Old and New Testaments as well
as an English-language version of the Quran from 1957.

It took just two minutes for his software to read and analyse the three books.

By categorising words into eight emotions - Joy, Anticipation, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, Surprise, Fear/Anxiety and Trust - the analysis found the Bible scored
higher for anger and much lower for trust than the Quran.

Further analysis found the Old Testament was more violent than the New Testament, and more than twice as violent as the Quran.

Mr Anderson summarises : "Of the three texts, the content in the Old Testament appears to be the most violent. "Killing and destruction are referenced slightly more often in the New Testament (2.8%) than in the Quran (2.1%), but the Old Testament clearly leads-more than twice that of the Quran-in mentions of destruction and killing (5.3%)."

However, he adds: "First, I want to make very clear that we have not set out to prove or disprove that Islam is more violent than other religions.

"Moreover, we realize that the Old and New Testaments and the Quran are neither the only literature in Islam,
Christianity and Judaism, nor do they constitute the sum of these religions' teachings and protocols.

"I must also reemphasize that this analysis is superficial and the findings are by no means intended to be
conclusive. Ours is a 30,000-ft, cursory view of three texts: the Quran and the Old and New Testaments, respectively."

simpleseyi:
I think it follows from our Holy Bible, both the Bible and Quran say similar things about our relationship with "unbelievers".

2 Corinthians 6:14New King James Version (NKJV)
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?


1 Kings 18:40
Then Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape." So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

2 Kings 10:25
Then it came about, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the royal officers, "Go in, kill them; let none come out." And they killed them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the royal officers threw them out, and went to the inner room of the house of Baal.

2 Chronicles 15:13
and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

Ur right Bro.

But this makes me wonder even further, Y dnt Christians practice these verses of the Bible and kill or terrorize ppl of other religions as often as Muslims practice these violent surahs in the Quran dat mandates dem 2 kill and terrorize ppl of other religions

Wisdom8033:
Islam perceive the world as two - believes and non-believe in Islam what is means is that Muslims should strive constantly to conquer and subjugate non-Muslims



now Jihad is an important duty of all believers in Islam it is approved method of using force or holy war to conquer lands n people and rule or introduce sharia hence d need to use every means necessary (propaganda) coercion and inducement with money n privileged positions to conque...... Jihad is a continues state of war it a permanent feature of the religion (Islam ) until the rest of the world is converted dats why we hv isis, hamas,al-nusra,al-qaeda,al-shabba boko haram etc


koran8:39 says wage war on non-Muslims and kill them the is why in Nigeria there is the continues running battle for the control of the seat of power by the Muslim north the infamous born to rule

wrong
We have war because Christians have refused to treat Muslim fuckup
