You haven't addressed any sir. You have been cleverly dodging the questions i raised from the previous post i made from where you jumped in from. You left everything out. That's to you. Gabriel never failed to inform anyone he was sent with a message who he was. He always says in Luke 1:13 He said Fear Not and Verse 19 he said, 'I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings'
Luke:1:19
This is how we know; As Zacharia got home that night, he slept with his very aged wife, she got pregnant and had a son and named him John, as the Angel had said. Believe what you want.



See how stupid your comments are. How do you know that Gabriel always reveals who he is? Do you follow him around? Are you his secretary?

What about the angel that wrestled with Jacob? What if that was Gabriel? It didn't reveal it's name. Are you aware how stupid that comment was? How does the fact that Gabriel reveals his name a couple of times mean that he always reveals his name. If he doesn't reveal his name how would you know that it was him but just not revealing his name.

My comment is Biblical because, YHWH Himself says that, for ua to know that he sent a messenger with the message, we should check if what that messenger says comes to pass. if not, he is fake. That's why i asked you to list the prophecies of your Muhammed and point how many are fulfilled.


Ezekiel 29:10-11 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

You will have to tell me when Egypt was ever uninhabited for 40 years in history. Otherwise you have to come here and declare that Ezekiel is a false prophet.




You can start mentioning some pls. Mind you, one is brewing right now as we speak. And, if you(the muslims) are told to stop hating and pursuing after the Nation of Israel, you won't hear. Ezekiel chapters 36, 37, 38, and 39 is about to be fulfilled.

Pls mention the ones which are not fulfilled, let me swallow you with the fulfilled ones. Am waiting. You will have to begin with Babylon.

What then was your motive when you came here prancing about calling them prophets?

It is relevant you because you called the Heathen Kings Prophets of YHWH and you insinuated that, if YHWH could use Neco of Egypt to warn Josiah, that makes Neco a Prophet of YHWH, hence He(YHWH] could use muhammed of Arabia with divergent message from what He had given before.

Sorry, Muhammed is a False Prophet. You can't win in this one.


It doesn't surprise me that you are still asking me what my motive is. Luckily for you I do not tire from reiterating my whys and wherefores.

My motives is to expose as lie your daft claims that Someone has to worship Yahoo before Yahoo can use them on a prophetic mission.

I have demonstrated, aptly (for the keen of intellect), that there are numerous prophecies by non Yahoo worshipers, given by Yahoo himself, according to the bible.
And I have also demonstrated that there have been lies spoken on Yahoo's head by those that are officially recognised prophets of Yahoo in Israel.

Hence the entire basis of your argument for rejecting Muhammad is false and in fact just daft.

Mind you, I'm not saying that I'm a believer of Muhammad, I'm just saying, and I know you like me to repeat myself so here we go again, ... that Your claims and basis for rejecting mohammad , and probably the basis of your entire belief system, is resting on fallacious premises and daft reasoning.

Yes, Josiah was wonderful, but went to war without enquering from his God abi? God had to use the mouth of a Heathen King to warn his stubborn heart to retrieve, yet he disobeyed. To you he was an excellent king abi. Weytin concern Josiah with that War in the first place? Abegi.




To me he was nothing. But to the bible, the books of Kings and Chronicles especially, he was 'excellent king', yes. More than that, I'll quote the bible's words...

25Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.



And the same passage give the reason why Yahoo decided to slay him. It wasn't because of anything that he did, but because Yahoo was still peeved at his grandfather, Manasseh. The bible states quite explicitly that that is what Yahoo's motivation was. Of course there is a much simpler explanation for the whole affair but we'll just stick with the biblical explanation for now.

Because of Manasseh, who didn't experience any retribution in his life, his grandson, who was a model king re-establishing the cults of Yahoo throughout his land and adhering to the Mosaic law, had to die such a cheap and ignominious death. How pathetic!

You equated them with ur almighty God when u said u were all worshiping the same God. You said the source is the same but the channel was different.
I never did. I don't knw Wot vaxx is worshipping. D issue was with Muslim God which I equated with almighty God. And I hv good reasons to. Deep studies hv proven otherwise however it is very subjective. I read many articles and realised that d word Allah predates Islam itself. Studies show that all Arab Christians used d word Allah for d almighty God. It was not out of place to say we serve d same Allah ,except that he was with a completely different msg for his prophet Mohammad and his pple.

But, you bragged about having a Bible nau. E no dey for your own Bible? Or as usual you have an intent to mislead? Here it is.
1 Kings 12:26-31 (Good News Bible)
[b]He (Jeroboam) said to himself, “As things are now, if my people go to Jerusalem and offer sacrifices to the Lord in the Temple there, they will transfer their allegiance to King Rehoboam of Judah and will kill me.”

After thinking it over, he made two (bull-calves) of gold and said to his people, “You have been going long enough to Jerusalem to worship.

People of Israel, here are your gods who brought you out of Egypt!” He placed one of the gold bull-calves in Bethel and the other in Dan.

And so the people sinned, going to worship in Bethel and in Dan. Jeroboam also built places of worship on hilltops, and he chose priests from families who were not of the tribe of Levi.


There is nowhere in that passage that Mount Gerizim is mentioned. He may have put bull calfs in bethel and Dan, but that doesn't have anything to do with the Samaritans worshiping on Mt Gerizim.

The temple was in existence but the Samaritans focused their worship on Mt Gerizim while the Jews focused theirs on the temple in Jerusalem. According to you that would mean that they are worshiping different deities and according to you even Jesus did not know what he was talking about when he was conversing with the Samaritan woman.

I didn't say that. Pls do not misquote me. I said, long before Muhammed was born, his grand father, Al Muttalab, and his father Abdulla worshipped Allah in the Arabic Peninsular. Jews were also there worshipping their YHWH, they never worshipped in the same worshipping place. If Allah and Yahweh are the same Deity, they would have of course worshipped together. There were Christians there too, but they never worshipped what Al Muttalab or Abdulla worshipped.

The Kaaba then wasn't exclusively the house of Allah, it was called 'the house god', as all the gods worshipped in that area had an efigy made and placed there as a representative. Allah was there too.

It is even said that the statue of the Catholic Mary, mother of Jesus was there. But the owners of these deities never gathered at the Kaaba to worship until Muhammed came along killing people, clearing off other idols leaving only his own. He even removed the daughters of allah, Alat, Malat and Uzzah leaving allah childless.



Jews and Samaritans did not worship together in the same place. Therefore according to you they could not have been worshiping the same god and Jesus didn't know what he was talking about in his conversation with the Samaritan woman.

Kaaba wasn't exclusively the house of Allah.

Well, neither was the Temple in Jerusalem.

It was Josiah that got rid of all the other deities in the Jerusalem temple just like Mohammed too got rid of all the other idols in the Kaaba.

Josiah even destroyed the Asherah, thereby leaving Yahoo babeless.

The writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls were Jews and they had no regard for the temple.
What did they write? They had no regard for the Temple or they didn't have one as it was destroyed?

The Dead sea scrolls were written in the first and second century bce. So the Temple was very much in existence when they were written. And yet the writers had no regard for the temple. It is clear from the scrolls themselves.

You a sorcerer, understands the Bible better than a Christian okwaya? Now listen. Follow the Context there and tell me who that passage is referring to. Pls stop making a jest of yourself.

If you say because Jesus is called the Bright and the Morning Star, He is Lucifer, and if Isa 14 is talking about Lucifer, then it's talking about Jeaus, meaning Jesus challenged YHWH, because the Luficer in Isa 14 challenged YHWH. You are not clever by half.


1st hole.... Lucifer is a reference to the Planet Venus

2nd hole ... Jesus too is referred to as the bright and morning star.

3rd hole.... numerous passages in the prophets about being brought low from a high place and being humbled or brought down to Hell have often being ascribed to Jesus.

Lolzzzzz.
1. Bring this passages that talked about Jesus being humbled and being brought down to hell. Let analyze them.

2. You invariably said, Venus challenged YHWH in Isa 14.
3. Oga, stop with the deceit. Only satan is a master of deceit. Oh, wait!!!!!, the deep calleth to the deep.


and many other holes but those 3 are good to start with.
Hahahahahahahahha. Am waiting for you to bring up the scriptures let's really poke holes on your assertions. Abeg stop lying. Lairs have their place in hellfire.


I think that you read my posts the same way that you read your bible and that is why you are misquoting me anyhow.

You can understand the bible anyway you want to under the aegis that you are a christian (while I am a sorcerer, lolz).

But the fact remains that that passage in Isaiah chapter 14 was as a whole directed at the King of Babylon who was conquered by the Persians.

He was likened unto the planet Venus, Lucifer, (in it's phase as Eosphorus/morning star) which is known for it's brightness yet undergoes regular occultation. Venus is probably the brightest star in the sky from earth.

The same way that Venus is eventually occulted after dominating the morning sky is likened unto the fall of empires after they dominate the known world.

Nothing about challenging Yahoo.

Jesus too is often referred to as the bright morning star.

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Revelation 22 16

In fact venus has had such a strong impact on human imagination that her brightness is often used to describe deities in their dominance.

Among the Aztecs, whose beliefs are the best-documented in the historical sources, Quetzalcoatl was related to gods of the wind, of the planet Venus, of the dawn,

Wikipedia Quetzalcoatl

Inanna was associated with the planet Venus,[29][66] which at that time was known as "the morning and evening star".[29] Several hymns praise Inanna in her role as the goddess of the planet Venus.[67] Theology professor Jeffrey Cooley has argued that, in many myths, Inanna's movements may correspond with the movements of the planet Venus in the sky.[67] In Inanna's Descent to the Underworld, unlike any other deity, Inanna is able to descend into the netherworld and return to the heavens. The planet Venus appears to make a similar descent, setting in the West and then rising again in the East.[67] An introductory hymn describes Inanna leaving the heavens and heading for Kur, what could be presumed to be, the mountains, replicating the rising and setting of Inanna to the West.[67] In Inanna and Shukaletuda, Shukaletuda is described as scanning the heavens in search of Inanna, possibly searching the eastern and western horizons.[68] In the same myth, while searching for her attacker, Inanna herself makes several movements that correspond with the movements of Venus in the sky.[67]

You have said nothing.

The post i made which you saw and jumped in is whether or not Muhammed was a channel used by YHWH. Instead of treating that, you are speaking grammar.

Was muhammed a prophet of YHWH?

Is Gabriel Jirbil?

Is Allah YHWH?

Treat these and stop the grammar.

first question:
I am as unsure of muhammed being a prophet as I am unsure of Isaiah or Ezekiel or any other prophet.

second question:
Is Gabriel Jibril? Yes. Resoundingly. Just as Yashua is Issa. And James is Yacob is Diego is Iago.
just like the first letter of the hebrew alphabet is Aleph and the first letter of the Arab alphabet is alif. And Z is Zain in hebrew and zayn in arabic.

These two languages are cousins and words and names are shared by the two cultures in their different pronounciations.

Third question:
Allah is as much Yahweh as Yahweh is El. El is the term for god and Allah is the term for God and it seems that the two words are even related etymologically.

On what bases are you giving a resounding 'Yes?', on assumptions. You are unsure of these things yet you give a resounding Yes?

Now, lets work with your assumption and suppose for a minute that your assumptions are correct. Are you judging these characters as the same entity base of their lexicon or on their Modus Operandi? because i see you using morphology of the words to assume they are they same.

We may have to go down to the etymology of those words to get their meanings, then we will know if these names are fabricated to sound as the same.

James is Jacob?

Now, can we talk about their Modus Operandi? We know a man by what he says and follows up to do them. We know of Gabriel of the Bible appearing gently without inflicting fear or forcing anyone to do anything. Why is Jibril different?

You mean Gabriel called Jesus the son of God to the Jews, and called the same Jesus a slave to Arabs? Really?

This one just dey begin the discussion. Issues wey don roll go forward long time. Luckily for you I'm a patient man.

Why I am here and my base for this discussion has nothing to do with the points raised. Unless you want to resort to ad hominems as part of your strategy. actually I know why you asked. You're just trying to wrest some hegemony on this platform. And it is precisely for this reason that I'm watching you with eagle eyes. But I've told you all this before:



You are making false claims left right and center with the objective of accumulating power to assuage your turbulent hateful mind. You think, falsely, that if you can acquire some kind of authority to dictate what is true and right then you will not feel so disturbed in your soul.
You probably don't know that this is what you are doing, but I'll demonstrate it to you.

I have a particularly strong distaste for this kind of behaviour and I am determined to expose you. Of course you may decide to not respond to me, that doesn't matter because I'm actually more concerned for the other people who might read these threads.


Your hope is that if I am not here to call you out on your lies then you'd be free to exercise hegemony over doctrines.

It's like when the MSM complain about Fake news from alternative media. We know that MSM has been giving us fake news for decades now, and they are just crying that they no longer have hegemony over fake news agendas. Same with you, you don't what any other religious doctrine to get a hearing only you. So you lie and cheat and play stupid games like asking me 'Why are you here'?
The direct answer is that I am here to expose you.


You are basing your assertions on assumptions.

Firstly, saying 'I'm unsure... ' about something is NOT an 'assertion'. And what I said was not based on any assumptions. It was an answer to your question of whether I think Muhammad was a prophet of Allah. I answered that I was unsure. To be unsure does not Assume anything. I said that from where I stand Muhammad was just as likely to be a prophet as Ezekiel was.

You didn't answer this very simple response with honesty and integrity.

Remember you challenged me thus:
Emmanystone:
My comment is Biblical because, YHWH Himself says that, for ua to know that he sent a messenger with the message, we should check if what that messenger says comes to pass. if not, he is fake. That's why i asked you to list the prophecies of your Muhammed and point how many are fulfilled.


And I responded thus:


------Ezekiel 29:10-11 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

You will have to tell me when Egypt was ever uninhabited for 40 years in history. Otherwise you have to come here and declare that Ezekiel is a false prophet.------

Me, I like to do things in chronological order so if you want to apply your criteria to prophets to determine whether or not they are genuine then we have to start with Ezekiel first and many more sef before we even get to Muhammad.


Why should you dabble in the conversation of Hindus and buddhists? Hindus and buddhists are not a virulent pestilence on your society. These religions are not deceiving and destroying the lives of your loved ones. Na where body dey pain you you go put cream.

On what bases are you giving a resounding 'Yes?', on assumptions. You are unsure of these things yet you give a resounding Yes?

Nope, my basis for giving a resounding 'yes' is the fact of Arabic and Hebrew are related languages and many words in arabic have their cognates in hebrew and vice verse.

And no, I'm not unsure that Arabic and Hebrew are related. I am resoundingly sure. I was unsure about Ezekiel and Muhammad being prophets as you asked in your FIRST question. This is now the second question. Is it that you really cannot read and understand a passage of text or is it a clever technique to try to argue back.
If you're trying to be clever then I must say Nice Try, but you can't pull that one on me.

Now, lets work with your assumption and suppose for a minute that your assumptions are correct. Are you judging these characters as the same entity base of their lexicon or on their Modus Operandi? because i see you using morphology of the words to assume they are they same.

There are no assumptions. These are facts. Arab and Hebrew are related, not only in language but in many aspects of culture to, and even genetically.

I use both the etymological relatedness of the words Jibril and Gabriel and I also look at their 'modus operandi'. They are both angels that come with messages.
You might try to find a difference by saying that Gabriel is mentioned twice in the bible and didn't touch the recipient of the message while jibril touched Muhammad. You forgot that an angel came to Jacob in the middle of the night and wrestled with him all night. How do you think that jacob felt about that? Do you think he was afraid? If some man jumped into your bed in the middle of the night and started wrestling you how would you feel? Would you feel at peace? Or perhaps you would start to feel Hot and welcome the invasion?
The angel refused to give it's name so it might have been Gabriel.

I've made this point before but I'm having to repeat it again. Patience is required for the hard of learning.

We may have to go down to the etymology of those words to get their meanings, then we will know if these names are fabricated to sound as the same.

Hey dude, feel free. Knock yourself out.

James is Jacob?

Yup! And so is Diego, and Tiago, and Iago and Iaco and Yakubbu.

The same name can evolve over time and over distances and cultures.

Emmanystone:

Now, can we talk about their Modus Operandi? We know a man by what he says and follows up to do them. We know of Gabriel of the Bible appearing gently without inflicting fear or forcing anyone to do anything. Why is Jibril different?

You mean Gabriel called Jesus the son of God to the Jews, and called the same Jesus a slave to Arabs? Really?
Why didn't Gabriel for at least one try having body contact with the prophets of old?
Why press down Muhammed to the point of suffocation before forcing words out of him?

Pls answer this according.


I believe that I've already shown you that there were many angelic visitations and they didn't always give their name, so just because gabriel gave his name twice does not make that his modus operandi. We don't know how many other times he visited people and didn't give his name.

if Calling Jesus the servant of God is not from God then who inspired Peter to make this speech:

26 God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.” Acts 3


Was Peter possessed by a demon? Maybe the islamic demon jibril?

So you see, Jibril calling Jesus a servant of Allah is biblically precedented and your claim that that disqualifies him from being a messenger of Yahoo is quite ignorant.

If you give a resounding Yes to the question if Gabriel is Jibril, you'll be saying YHWH is Allah. That will put you in a position to explain why the Jews in Yathrib didn't worship Allah as Abdullah did.


Do you know that God is not a name of any Deity?

God is a title like Chief, King, Madam and Sir.

All the Kings, Chiefs, Sirs and Madams have their personal individual names. So your claim is as invalid as they come.

Allah is not a name of a particular god, it's a title. In Arabic, Allah means god and that could mean any God.
The Allah (god) that Muhammad's progenitors worshipped had a personal name which Muslims abrogated just like they abrogated the daughters of allah Allat Malat and Uzza. his name of Hūbal. The same baal which YHWH commanded his people never to worship.


See break dancing o! You've twisted and squirmed and contorted yourself into quite a knot.

Let me lay your words out for you here:

if Gabriel is Jibril, you'll be saying YHWH is Allah.


Allah is not a name of a particular god, it's a title.
Allah means god and that could mean any God.

From one corner of the same mouth you will say Yahoo is not Allah, but out of the second corner of the very same mouth you will say Allah can be used for any God.

If you keep insisting that it's a matter of languages and their syntax, you'd have to explain to me why the Muslims don't walk into Synagogues and worship Allah.

Why will a Nigerian Christian find himself in Germany, a people of a strange tongue, but he walks into a Church to worship instead of a Mosque?



I would ask you to take out some time, maybe just 5 mins, to do some meditation. Meditate on the following questions and therein you'll find the answers to the questions that you raised here.

1-Why don't JWs enter into a catholic church to worship?

2- Why won't a burn again penterascal enter the church in Thessaloniki, one of the churches started by the apostles themselves, and worship there? They have all the icons and all the statues that you normally find in the Orthodox Churches.

3- Why do you not enter a synagogue, yourself, to worship Yahoo?

So you see that though people may claim to be worshipping the same being they can do so in very different places, using very different means and each person sticks to the way that he is most familiar with.

If you stand on the pedestal of EL means God and Allah means god, you'sink, because El is a title and has his personal name.

Seeing as arabic and hebrew are related languages it follows that the name for God in Arabic, Allah, will have a cognate in hebrew El, and as Yahoo is called El so can he be called Allah.
But you yourself made this argument too so what is your problem here. You said allah is just a title. So why don't you want to give your Yahoo the title of God in Arabic?

They 'abrogated' the name Hubal? How do you know that Mohammads father was a Hubal worshiper? All we know in his name is that he was called servant of Allah, Abd allah. Abi?

How are you so sure which is the particular Allah that is being referred to? No personal names were mentioned.

Baal (/ˈbeɪ.əl/),[1][a] properly Baʿal, [b]was a title and honorific meaning "lord" in the Northwest Semitic languages spoken in the Levant during antiquity. From its use among people, it came to be applied to gods.
-- Wikipedia

Baal is not a proper name and is the proper name of no deity in particular. It was a general name used for deities and kings. Ba'al just means My Lord, or my owner, or my king. It is like yoruba Olu. Yoruba say Oluwa, to mean our lord. They also use Oba, which might be distantly related to to Baal.

There were many Ba'al and in fact I believe that Yahoo was one such Ba'al in ancient canaan.

That is why you have Hebrews that are named after Ba'al. E.g the son of King Saul was called EshBa'al. That is a Man of the Lord. A man of Baal.

33Ner was the father of Kish, Kish of Saul, Saul of Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab and Eshbaal;

1chronicles 8:

Without a doubt Yahweh's name was Ba'al because the bible records the exact place where he said he didn't want to be called Baal anymore.

16“And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’ 17For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more.

Aha!! I take it that you have no heart to continue in your deceits. The only person that has been running in circles is you.


Every point you raised I responded to succinctly. Instead of then responding to my feedback, you would ask a totally different and unrelated question and even claim that you wouldn't read my response. Of course that attitude bodes ill for any respectful exchange of arguments and discussion.

Emmanystone:

Didn't read. Treat the main points.

But I decided that the only way the conversation could continue and I could get the chance to expose you was to accommodate your wuru wuru methods. For this reason I happily repeated myself. Points I made in posts that you claimed you wouldn't read (a false claim I suspect. You must have read them and realised you were in a jam and then to escape you claimed you wouldn't condescend to read it.) I patiently repeated again when you inevitably raised the same questions again.

Now that I'm sure that you have no intention of addressing the valid points buttressed with passages from the bible (what you claim is your ultimate authority yet you consistently ignore when you can't press it into supporting your hateful doctrines), I will continue to use your example as demonstration of the psychological motivations that lead to religious intolerance like I promised.

As I said previously:

Your hope is that if I am not here to call you out on your lies then you'd be free to exercise hegemony over doctrines.

It's like when the MSM complain about Fake news from alternative media. We know that MSM has been giving us fake news for decades now, and they are just crying that they no longer have hegemony over fake news agendas. Same with you, you don't what any other religious doctrine to get a hearing only you. So you lie and cheat and play stupid games like asking me 'Why are you here'?
The direct answer is that I am here to expose you.

Emmanystone:

Good, this is where you and i will begin a discussion.


Begin the Beguine!! It seems like you've failed before you even began. It reminds me of the words of Gamaliel about false messiahs.

35And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. 36For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; 39but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!”
Acts 5

Only difference is that Atheists are winning more converts here whereas you can't switch your roots to Fulani if you weren't born into one, at best, servant. lipsrsealed

Er.... This is quite wrong.

At the time of the beginnings of this website Nairaland, Seun the owner was very much a theist. He slowly became convinced of the arguments of the atheists and lost his faith. It has actually happened to a lot of people here and you can't blame anyone but the Inanity of the Christians here who cannot seem to muster up a single rational argument between the lot of them. All they have is threats and cajoling.


Perhaps you could consider the possibility that the proportion of atheists to theists on Nairaland might reflect the true proportion around you in real life, but the only place where they can actually voice their true opinions without social backlash is online.
