Jokerman:
Because He would resurrect him again... which He did after destroying the works of shaitan, and making it possible for humans to interact easily with our Heavenly Father. ...

Since He has been killed for ur sins, it means all the sins u have committed and the ones u will commit ahead are forgiven huh? What a logic? I wonder what humans take God for.

Jarus:
yes, saying same thing.

OK then. No p

Positivist:

bUt reformed by pope gregory right?

ajbabs:
They are tired already.
Saudi Arabia may soon drop the ideas of their clothing system and adopt that of USA so as to minimise cost of getting clothes by their citizens.
Also, they may start to grant non-muslims special permission to perform "hajj excercise in Mecca and Medina" as part of their moves for 21st century globalization programmes.
When will they drop the name of Islamic republic
(kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and become United States of Arabia? Nonsense.
Economic, financial and scientific realities will reset all these useless religion fallacies all over the world with time.
Nigerian securities should be on alert because some backward illiterates from north may be insinuating that it was America that forced "the Georgian calender" on Saudi Arabia as part of America moves to turn the Saudi Arabia to a christian state, which may result into violet protests.

You brilliant, bro. Hundreds of thousands of people have seen your post and they don't have the balls to argue it. Hmm!

Great decision, but here in Nigeria some jihadist wont even agree with the government, they will say its against Islamic religion... Nigerian religious lunatic you can't be more Islamic more than Meccans

freedom at last

This is unarguably the seat of Islamic Religion taking bold and pragmatic steps in addressing the economic challenges of the time yet our own government - Federal, States and LGs will be lilly-livered to remove sponsorship to Mecca. I think this is just what our "Rulers" need to explain to their followers that the times are changing and drastic changes must be made to the way we think and/or do things.

Smh,

So Muslim Saudi now accepts a Christian calendar.

Wonderful.

These are people most shia Muslims imitate, a country Muslims regard as their holy land, but you begin to wonder where some get all these their extremist ideologies especially those in northern Nigeria.
I think Muslims deserve to know the real origin of Islam, not all these tales we hear.

Hmm, wonderful. That's what am saying. Reality will make all of us know God with time. We shall soon know the truth.

Apology to you.

poundlander:
which kind of father kills his beloved son, just so that his friends can live?

I'm glad you asked, the one who would do His best to save his creation. God doesn't rejoice over the death of a sinner and keeps giving them chances. The death of a sinner is a great loss to heaven. God is against religious crises.

6 Things facts About the Gregorian Calendar



If you were living in England or one of the American colonies 260 years ago, this date—September 13, 1752—didn’t exist. Neither did the 10 days preceding it. Instead, you would have gone to bed on the evening of September 2 and woken up on the morning of September 14. Eleven days had been effectively skipped over as part of the parliamentary measure that implemented the Gregorian calendar, aligning Britain and its overseas possessions with the rest of Western Europe.

1. The original goal of the Gregorian calendar was to change the date of Easter.

In 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII introduced his Gregorian calendar, Europe adhered to the Julian calendar, first implemented by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. Since the Roman emperor’s system miscalculated the length of the solar year by 11 minutes, the calendar had since fallen out of sync with the seasons. This concerned Gregory because it meant that Easter, traditionally observed on March 21, fell further away from the spring equinox with each passing year.

2. Leap years don’t really occur every four years in the Gregorian calendar.

The Julian calendar included an extra day in February every four years. But Aloysus Lilius, the Italian scientist who developed the system Pope Gregory would unveil in 1582, realized that the addition of so many days made the calendar slightly too long. He devised a variation that adds leap days in years divisible by four, unless the year is also divisible by 100. If the year is also divisible by 400, a leap day is added regardless. While this formula may sound confusing, it did resolve the lag created by Caesar’s earlier scheme—almost.

3. The Gregorian calendar differs from the solar year by 26 seconds per year.

Despite Lilius’ ingenious method for syncing the calendar with the seasons, his system is still off by 26 seconds. As a result, in the years since Gregory introduced his calendar in 1582, a discrepancy of several hours has arisen. By the year 4909, the Gregorian calendar will be a full day ahead of the solar year.

4. Some Protestants viewed the Gregorian calendar as a Catholic plot.

Though Pope Gregory’s papal bull Inter Gravissimus, signed on February 24, 1582,

reforming the calendar had no power beyond the Catholic Church, Catholic countries—including Spain, Portugal and Italy—swiftly adopted the new system for their civil affairs. European Protestants, however, largely rejected the change because of its ties to the papacy, fearing it was an attempt to silence their movement. It wasn’t until 1700 that Protestant Germany switched over, and England held out until 1752. Orthodox countries clung to the Julian calendar until even later, and their national churches have never embraced Gregory’s reforms.

5. Britain’s adoption of the Gregorian calendar sparked riots and protest.

According to some accounts, English citizens did not react kindly after an act of Parliament advanced the calendar overnight from September 2 to September 14, 1752. Rioters supposedly took to the streets, demanding that the government “give us our 11 days.” However, most historians now believe that these protests never occurred or were greatly exaggerated. On the other side of the Atlantic, meanwhile, Benjamin Franklin welcomed the change, writing, “It is pleasant for an old man to be able to go to bed on September 2, and not have to get up until September 14.”

6. Before the Gregorian calendar’s adoption, the English new year began on March 25, or Lady Day.

Julius Caesar’s calendar reform of 46 B.C. instituted January 1 as the first of the year. During the Middle Ages, however, European countries replaced it with days that carried greater religious significance, such as December 25 (the anniversary of Jesus’ birth) and March 25 (the Feast of the Annunciation). The latter, known as Lady Day because it celebrates the Virgin Mary, marked the beginning of the year in Britain until January 1, 1752.

I just have to correct your ignorance about something, Saudi Arabia is the home place of Sunni Muslims and it is the number one enemy of Shia Muslims. I don't understand why you people either ignorantly or intentionally accuse Shia if anything bad haopens. i am not a Muslim but if i were to choose between the two, i definitely wouldn't choose a side that gave birth to boko, Isis, and all known terrorist (Sunni).

So you now believe Jesus died on a cross? Lmao.

Rilwayne001:

look at you, so I should go and implement what is not being implemented, if their is genuine reason for such cut, I'll rather adjust and accept rather than starting a riot.

Do you believe he wasn't nailed to the cross?
