Was Isaac sacrificed ? Stop taking a verse of the Bible to for your mischevious purposes. A verse should not be isolated from the rest. You claimed to be an intellectual individual.
but yahweh opemly declared that he asked the isrealites to sacrifice their firstborn sons to him. If you doubt it i will dig it out for your perusal cry

They are revelations and they are supposed to be from the same source. There should be similarity
They are plagiarisms not revolutions


Unless you have different definition and standards of dignity, it should be to you too
Its completely illogical

Not necessarily
I see, delusions recognized by the Quran are ok.but delusions not recognised by the quran aren't hahaha

Every group of people can agree on essentials. There are things you do/believe in a religion that will be met with a mild rebuke and those that will take you out of the religion
Sunnis refer to shias and ahmadiyyas as infidels and non muslims and vice versa. Anyways that's just humans trying hard to stop their religion from evolving, but its impossible.


And these are your viewpoints and they are not correct
Anyway how would Muhammed (SAW) have copied when he was an illiterate. They aren't just my viewpoints mate, they are facts, impossible to disprove.
Religions are ideologies created by man and they constantly evolve.
If mohammed was fron a preliterate
Society somewhere in subsaharan Africa or from the New world which didn't have contact with jews or Christians and got this so-called "divine revelation", that would. Have been something won't it?

Incorrect ma - Islam recognise the Prophets in the Bible
Former and later dude, get the meaning

With the others mostly. Islam as a religion will have similarities with others but compared to the others, it is to a lesser degree. And it is about tenets not necessarily because we just don't want to recoginse them.
What concept in islam didn't originate from idealogies of some other society?


It is a shame. And it is no longer a Middle Eastern "nonsense". Nigerians are exporting Christianity to American and Europe
I thank Allah that the Qur'an tells me that Muslims are not extremists

Happy Easter sirs and mas!

Have you ever wondered why the Jews crucified him in the first place? Have you ever wondered why they sealed his tomb and placed soldiers to guard it until after the 3rd day? Christ said he would lay down his life and pick it up on the 3rd day. They place a guard that will last until the 3rd day to prevent his disciples from "stealing" his body. His resurrection would confirm their greatest fear, which was the main reason they crucified him in the first place, that He is the son of God.

So, when their guards could not prevent the resurrection, they tried to cover it up.

If that is so, does that mean Jeptha's daughter was an animal? How did his daughter come into the story then, why did the Israeli women grieve for her for a year?
Why was Jephthah ''s heart broken upon seeing his daughter if he was going to sacrifice an animal?
Which animal did he eventually sacrifice, and the biblical back up for that.

Happy Easter sirs and mas!

Even because without being able to PRODUCE Yahshua, they would not be able to PROVE that Yahshua had risen from the dead.

The only other explanation was the the body must have been stolen by the Disciples- and, since no one could just walk up on Roman Soldiers on guard, without heavy loss of life, and producable blood, if not corpses, the only way that would be possible was if they were asleep when it happened, or else they deserted their posts.

When POMPEII was excavated, which was buried in Volcanic Ash, the bodies of Roman Guards were found standing AT THEIR POSTS- because they had not been given the order to fall out!

No one could have believed that they just up and deserted their post.

However, if the Governor heard of it, he would be obliged to EXECUTE THE WHOLE SQUAD- for disciplinary reasons.

This would have been what happened to them.

The money was to keep the Soldiers from testifying that AS FAR AS THEY KNEW, Yahshua had risen from the dead.

All the Chief Priests and Elders had to do was BETRAY THEM, and the only Eyewitnesses were GONE.

Moreover I gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not have life; and I defiled them through their very gifts in making them offer by fire all their first-born, that I might horrify them; I did it that they might know that I am the LORD [Yahweh]. (RSV)

I can see how mischievous you are son and to intentionally mislead others, you quoted Ezekiel 20:25-26. Had you started your passage from verse 18, others would have seen the truth.
Verse 18 says 'I said to their children in the wilderness, “Do not follow the statutes of your parents or keep their laws or defile yourselves with their idols.'
... Verse 21 But the children rebelled against me: They did not follow my decrees, they were not careful to keep my laws, of which I said, “The person who obeys them will live by them,” and they desecrated my Sabbaths. So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.

What can I say to you? You have read the Bible from A-Z five times! You so much hate God that you are bent on distorting the truth. You are misguided and you won't hesitate to mislead others. Too bad.

On a lighter mood, the Chinese don't like 'non-Chinese' like you to laugh either in Mandarin or Cantonese. Otherwise they think you are a spy from North Korea. grin Laugh like a Nigerian that you are. cool

you are right in most of your arguments, but the fact remain that God acted so for a reason.
God wanted to punish the Israelites because they have disobeyed him. disobedience is the weakest part of God and it always lead to punishment from him

so in the end he made them offer 'by fire' their first born so he might horrify them, and let them know that he is the lord.

you are correct, God had warn man not to swear an oat unto His name that whoever mentioned his name in an oat must fulfil it. he was so happy and swore to offer whatever met with him as burnt offering, which happen to be his daughter. because God name was mentioned then he must fulfil it. he regretted afterwards that is why it is always better to obey God command at all times
