those are not Christians.thats not what Jesus demanded from us.he didn't say show or accept love to a selected few.he said love your neighbours as Christ loved you.if at all your neighbour didn't want the food he shouldn't have made it obvious.ko fogbon sheyrara.at least he for accept am and even if he doesn't want to eat it,you give it to your dog codedly or give it out to someone else in true need like beggars.personally I'm always weary of collecting food from people these days but if a neighbour gives me food because they're doing Ramadan or the likes and I have reservations about it,I will collect it in love and gratitude from him, package it inside disposable pack and give to beggay because I understand that when neighbours or anybody gives you food it's not the food in itself but the effort in making it and the fact that they remember you is what I appreciate because Yorubas will say thank the person that saw you and eyed you,after all some pretend that you don't exist


For a neighbour to extend a hand of love and you openly rejected it is not wisdom at all.its not about the food.afterall you have food in your kitchen, it's the love and communal spirit.africa was 1 before oyinbo came and used religion to divide us
Exactly, even if u can't eat it, u don't need to refuse it so openly because I swear my mom felt insulted that day and vow never to take their food again when they are also celebrating

It only fake believers that practices what you are doing. Go to the north, you wouldn't see any Hausa/Fulani moslem accepting easter or Christmas meat(food) from Christians.

You can also visit the former eastern region and check if you will find any indigenous Christian accepting food or meat from moslems during their festivals

Yorubas are our major problem in Nigeria as a nation. They don't know what is abomination is religion or politics. No different between Yoruba Moslems and Christians. They can freely share their place of worship with each other. The will eat anything eatable and married themselves regardless of what their religious holy book said. Yoruba attached no value to their religious belief but their personal comfort
you are the problem we have in Nigeria. Pride kill u there. So long the food isn't poisonous, i see nothing wrong with eating it. Most Nigerians are so carried away by all these so called traditions in relegion. The bible says we should rejoice with those who are rejoicing and mourn with those who are mourning. Come to think of it, if u can't eat from a from a muslim during their celebration, then make sure u shouldn't buy from them as well when u go to the market.

Nigerians?

If you start a computer and run a video game, all the characters in that game come to life. But the characters in the game are only bounded within the game such that they are not capable enough to know who created the game. It supports big bang theory that the universe started from a big bang just like a whole environment is created for the characters in a video game when you turn on a computer. But, then eventually at the end we are stuck with the same existential question, who created the simulation? Is it God?
Africans were given something to think about and dedicate their lifetime devoted to it, religion! While they are there evolving mankind.
Morals should be subjective based on individual values not what religion says, at the end, we end up being monsters against ourselves.
PS: I'm a Muslim, and I share food with anyone, anywhere, I am not bounded by religion, and I eat from any long as I am comfortable with your food not your religion.
Big question is; When are we going to evolve into thinking ahead and not around the circle?

It is not what goes into a man that maketh him unclean but rather what comes out of his mouth. If the food was not poisoned, bless it and eat for all things edible have been made clean.

Meals prepared during Easter are not sacrifices compared to sacrificing a ram on sallah, moreover a Christian can eat Sallah because he doesn't even consider Allah to be the true God.

But he or she won't do this if a new Christian is around the corner...btheres a part in the Bible for this that says if good will make your brother sin then do not eat it.

1 Corinthians 8:4-16
Paul clarifies the teaching on this subject. First, he says that eating meat offered to an idol is not immoral, because “an idol is nothing at all.” An idol is an inanimate object. “Food,” he says, “does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.” The meat itself is amoral. However, there is more to consider, namely the brother with a weak conscience. Some believers, especially those with a background of idol worship, were still very sensitive concerning this issue and considered it morally wrong to eat meat sacrificed to idols. Under no circumstances, Paul says, should a believer encourage another believer to violate his conscience. To the pure, all things are pure

(Titus 1:15), but to one with a weak conscience, meat taken from pagan temples was spiritually defiled. It would be better never to eat meat again than to cause a believer to sin against his conscience.

islam belongs to satan so avoid all that comes from the devil and its worshipers. By eating their foods you give them the wrong impression that they are on the right path. They will hate you for it someday when they die and discover the truth that you failed to lead them to God.if you love them help them make heaven. Islam, paganism,hinduism, atheism all belongs to satan . Only christianity in Jesus christ leads to heaven.

if you won't share in the meal then why share meal with the adherent of another religion?
You can love a Muslim or even a traditionalist but you are not permitted to partake in any meal or celebration imanating from their belief or prayers carried out in their religion. Bible sees it as partaking in idol worship. Read 1 Cor. 8. 1 Cor 10: 19 - 21. Even core Muslims see our Easter meals as cursed. Read quaran 5 vs 3 and quaran 6 vs 121.

Christianity is a very peaceful religion


The Bible says "If any of those who do not believe in Christ invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake"




Jesus preached love and acceptance, he is the King of peace and love.


At the moment I am still thinking of where to eat Sallah rice, no place yet.

I already read that verse. but I need to hear your thoughts.
I feel since There is only one God, and this one God is both the God and Father of Jesus and the Lord Jesus himself. Because Jesus is Lord, idols are themselves nothing, following the tradition of the critique of idolatry in the Old Testament. We have nothing to fear, and nothing to worry about—and we are therefore free to eat whatever food we like, without any anxiety.
. Poor people are the problem of this country. I' m a Christian and I do eat Muslim festive food, is there any problem for eaten it? Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a Muslim and his wife is a Pastor in Redeemed Christian Church of God and are you people telling me that Pastor Remi Tinubu is not going to eat the food prepared in their house during this festive period?Pls don't label God as a Bad God. Jesus Christ said it's not what go through out mouth to belly that makes us sinner but it's what comes out from our mouth that makes us sinner. Jesus said love your neighbor as you love yourself your neighbor maybe Muslim or traditional worshipers just love them. If you're giving any food bless it in the name of Father,Son and Holy spirit then you are go to eat it.

Nothing in common big time

They preach war and loves to fight war

Why Christian preaches love

LET lOVE LEAD

If Yahweh's all about love and not war, kindly point out the "love" of Yahweh in these blood exploits and child killing and animal abusing interest of his:

Even you yourself as a Christian, think the below message yourself (It was for someone else but it can apply to you):

[b]Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  “The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him.” (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)[/b]

From the above verses, the following things were stated.

- The matter in question is that if they hear that some people arose (who are obviously disbelievers themselves) and call other people to worship gods other than Yahweh, Yahweh asked them to investigate very well.

- If it's true, Yahweh asked them to go to that land and KILL EVERYONE (Men, women and children) and KILL ALL THE LIVESTOCK.

- Now the following things should be noted from that:

Firstly, Yahweh asked them to murder all those people because some of them arose and were propagating the beliefs of other gods.

Can you see your life outside? Can you see that Yahweh has disappointed you?? Shame on you!!!! grin Shame on your entire generation and even congregation self!!! embarassed

You were busy holding on to that your false and stupid claim that Allaah asked us to kill disbelievers; that where did Yahweh do the same?

Is that not a verse where Yahweh asked them to go carry out that massacre because those disbelievers were calling people to their ways??

That's one.

Secondly, Yahweh exhibited his bloodsucking and ruthless character again in the following ways:

1. The wicked and ruthless Yahweh asked them to kill everyone in that town just because SOME of them called people to other gods. He didn't stop at the callers. Thee rest of that town must suffer and die for the actions of some. Can you see the true definition of a terrorist? grin grin

In a legitimate war in Islam, only those who wielded arms against Muslims should be fought. Women, children, old men and monks and peaceful worshippers in the temple should be spared. And yet, Allah is the terrorist.

Can you see your life outside

2. Then, again, he includes children in his command because he said "kill all the inhabitants" and that must have included children.

This is the third case now where Yahweh is exhibiting his evil and ruthless character of abusing children. Can you see the true terrorist?

3 He also said "Kill animals". Again!!! Yahweh is just so bloodthirsty, if he's offended, his judgement doesn't know limits. Everyone just suffer!! And yet, he's peaceful and loving. grin grin

Can you see Yahweh's life outside grin

4. Then in addition, he maintained that properties gotten from that village should also be set ablaze.

In a legitimate war in Islam, the Prophet maintained that properties should be spared and trees should NOT be cut down.

Who's more ruthless now? You ignorant old doofus!!! grin You over-senseless mugu!! grin grin

5. Then Yahweh asked them to put fire to the whole town and burn it to the ground. He maintained that the whole town should be in ruins and nothing should be kept apart. All should be destroyed.

- And all the actions stated above are all because of what?

Just because SOME people amongst them are propagating their beliefs in other gods.

- Then Yahweh now completed it by saying:

“The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him.”

Can you see your life, Aunty way no wise? grin grin

After Yahweh commanded all that ruthless acts, he now maintained that He will only have mercy upon them if they heed to that commandment.

Meaning they will only attain his pleasure and mercy if they carry out what Yahweh commanded.

So Aunty, what do you have to say now?

Yahweh has disgraced you thoroughly.

The first two I presented, you couldn't justify. This is a harder one now; that even contradicts your claim and answers your questions that "show me where Yahweh commanded killing unbelievers"

And even in Islam, before Muslims can fight, the Kuffar must have committed any action that warrants that either by standing in the way of Islam by fighting against it or persecuting the Muslims.

And even in those legitimate wars, ONLY those who wielded arms against the Muslims should be fought. Properties should NOT be destroyed, women and children and animals as well as old men and non-fighters should NOT be killed.

Sincerity is one of the conditions of acceptance of Islam. The Prophet lived together with the Jews, interacted and did business with them and even accepted their invitations. He never fought against them as long as they were peaceful and didn't fight.

Now, tell me, who's the real terrorist

Aunty, I sympathise with you oo.

Your level of ignorance and stupidity has just been exposed just by this ONE instance.

And believe me, there are still more.

Contemplate on this one first, give me feedback and then I'll go and bring more for you.

Don't be deceived

You're right jare, omo daadaa!!!

Allaah is not a child abuser that commands little children and animals to be killed for offence they know nothing about UNLIKE YAHWEH:

1 Samuel: 15. 3. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. - Bible Offline

Numbers: 31. 17. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. - Bible Offline

Neither does does Allaah ask people to go naked and barefoot and walk the streets that way and the most amazing part was that, Yahweh even said he sought to use that unclothedness as a SIGN AND WONDER. He even commanded some other people to follow that example:

Isaiah: 20. 2. At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 3. And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; 4. So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. - Bible Offline

So you're right. Allaah and Yahweh are different.

if you want more differences, I'll show you.
