Gluttony has blindfolded many Christians to the point of eating meat sacrificed to an Arabian deity that was housed in Kaaba about 1441 ah.
You are eating meat that they slaughtered with Islamic recitation in other name. Whereas Acts 4 v 12 has given you the final verdict. Apiri ogologo.
No mind them bro, especially christ embassy and winners members...They all say the same shit that we are serving the same God, the difference is just the mode of worship: Taaah! who told you that?
Islam is Idolateery! and 90% of Christains are Fake!
No apologies.

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

That is not true. I grew up in the North were both Christians and Muslim see themselves as brothers and sisters and we shared all we had.
I am not disputing the fact that there are some Christians and Muslims that do what you say but it would depend on the area, how you are accepted around your environment there and how enlightened you are.

I hope you know the Toyota you drive is manufactured by Christians in USA or even the Benz manufactured by German Christians?
Samsung is not Chinese, it is Korean and we have a lot of Korean Christians manufacturing it.
I drink coke and it was patented by a Christian.
I live in Europe so I spend hard currency with Christian symbols.
Facebook is owned by Mark Zukerberg, a Judeo-Christian. I responded to you based on your logic.
If you can't show me where all these things you mentioned are sacrificed to idols or are prayed upon in a temple, then you didn't understand me properly.

Benz was also a major manufacturer of vehicles for Nazi Germany and they were/are anti-Semite.
Anything can be manufactured by anyone regardless of their religious affiliation in relation to your Toyota defence and they don't only have manufacturing firms in the USA, they also have firms in Japan and other countries and the requirement to work in a Toyota firm isn't based on your beliefs

Yorubas are not your problem. Your problem is the senility of your mind. Yorubas are far more enlightened than your traditional Igbo or the nomadic Hausa/Fulani joined together. In Yoruba land, culture supercedes religion. Let that one sink into your thick skull.

A Yoruba Moslim will gladly follow you to your church if you have special celebration to do. Some even go with their Hijab. I am a Christian, I will gladly take festival meat from a Moslim. Especially Yoruba Moslims. I am doing that with a particular knowledge in mind. That the Yoruba nation is in the same country with backward people like the Fulanis does not mean they are mate.

There few lines I cannot cross. I cannot marry people from the other religion. And I cannot donate my money to build a Mosque. But there nothing I cannot do to help my friends who are Moslims (Yoruba Moslims) to improve their lots if I have the means.

People like you have changed the message of the Lord Jesus Christ. The message is first love b4 anything else. It was religious people like you that betrayed and killed the master. They said he was dining with sinners. I can clearly see hypocrisy in you. Saying Yorubas are your problem. Yorubas are synonymous with knowledge. We have been in that business when your ancestors were still climbing from tree to tree.

I am quite aware that northern Moslims have terrible ideology. I have read about how Usman Dan Fodio came as a peace loving person and later declared war on his host. In Yoruba land, culture, elder, knowledge and religion is the order of things. You could see how Alaafin (who is a Moslim) rebuked Governor Fayemi (a Christian). The governor went to him for guidance.

We are far ahead of Hausa/Fulani and we are not mate with the Igbos.

when JESUS said, it nt what enters your mouth that makes you unclean. but what comes out of your mouth.
he was talking about kind of food to eat and not eat. with thanks given to your maker you can eat dogs,snakes,pigs etc. that wnt stop u from making heaven. but insulting people who do myt take you to hell.
finally.you are nt supposed to eat food use in celebrating or offerd to anything. food that is used by unbelievers or people with other believes to mark their religous event.
i Dreason, do not believe that christians and moslems worship the same GOD.why will GOD send muhamed to counter what JESUS allready did. those he enjoy the way we fight. no! when jesus left the holy spirit which is the spirit of GOD came down and dewll on the apostles, nd help them in coutinuning GOD kingdom on earth(nt ppu)

If you're truly a Christian then you will sanctify the food and eat knowing that you're covered by the blood of Jesus who is above all and any other god. Accepting the food in the first instance showed acceptance while tossing it in the bin is only foolish because you've allowed the devil be cloud your faith.



Sanctify you say?
They didn't poison it, but the truth is that the food serves as a demonic point of contact that keeps speaking against your destiny till you get deliverance.
Some Real pastors are possesed by demons too without knowing.
Not all demonic possesions control you, some are just hovering around you to speak against your destiny!
Be careful!
When you go deeper in Faith, you will understand what i mean!
Have you had a personal interaction with Jesus before?
Re: Should Christians Share In Muslim IFTAR Meals? by bigtt76(f): 12:48pm On May 24, 2020
Exactly! Islam detest sacrifices to idols or its worship. Have they ever heard of the God or this or shrine of that related to Islam or the Muslims worship? I don't know why people like pushing wrong understanding to the doctrine.

Ignore him please. Read Romans 14. If you have faith, you can eat it. Besides, hunger never wire you. If REAL HUNGER wire you, you go chop with GREAT thanksgiving without even "remembering" to ask questions. Thank you.

grin
Your reply reminds me of a scene in my life. Several years back. At the Polythecnic Eruwa we were doing OND. I and my mates had nothing to eat. We were starving. We went to pluck mangoes but the thing no do. Na so dem start Sango celebration some buildings away from ours. My Friend Depo nicknamed Samanja was befriending the daughter of the Mama oni Sango. Na so we beg am make e go collect food from Sango worshippers. And like play like play the girl brought Amala and meat. After she had left, we assigned someone to pray on the food and the prayer goes this way, grin

Father forgive us for collecting food from Sango worshippers o. grin We didn't do it out love for it. It is hunger that push us to it o. Please don't allow this food to have negative effect on us. Amen

Amidst jokes and laughter we ate the food and nothing happened.

One thing is, if you don't condemn yourself and your faith is strong enough. You can eat any food.
Do you know people eat food of Sacrifices placed at crossroads and nothing happen. In those days people pick money (coins) put inside Sacrifices. Nada happened.

If Muslims call you to come and eat, show some love and eat. Nothing spoil.
If they brought it to your doorstep accept it.

The only area it becomes a sin is when you are not hungry and you are moving from one Muslim friend to the other because of Salah meat or food. You are disgracing your God.

Otherwise, If they bring eat it.

Re: Should Christians Share In Muslim IFTAR Meals? by Canberra55: 12:52pm On May 24, 2020
I don't understand the level of ignorance on here . If you have ever invited a DEVOUT Muslim to your home to feast on a Christian celebration , the ONLY CONDITION he will partake in your food is that you MUST allow them to be the one to kill the chicken, goat, cow or whatever animal involved . But WHY? you may wonder. This is because they they have to say a " PRAYER " before they slaughter the animal. And not that alone --- they have to position the animal in a specific direction to the sun or whatever angle light is coming from . This is not ordinary killing my brothers and sisters.

Think about it. If a man will not eat your food because you prepared the food without a PRAYER peculiar to him, why should poverty - hunger allow you eat his own if he won't allow you say YOUR own type of prayer for the same food ?

Basamati Rice is Patented Rice of India.India fought 20 years battle with Americans in WTO.
There are few Brands like India Gate, Aeroplane etc sold Real Basamati rice, And serving to god etc is nothing but crap.
There are festivals in some parts of India for good harvest, thats all.

BTW What tehy sell here in the name of Basamati is actually hybrid , not teh real basamati, also sometimes they sell residual of Basamati or substandard Rice from pakistan.
I ate real Basamati in India and Singapore and trust me, what we eat here is carp, infact if you eat Basamati you will not like the rice we grow in this continent.

jesmond3945:
let me be frank with you if I know that basmati rice is offered to indian gods I would stop eating it.

TRUTHS ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS ARE NOT FOR DEBATE, IF TRULY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, Go to the bible and find your answers... ASSUMPTION IS COSTLY.

We don't need to read from one verse of the Bible and draw a conclusion.....there are several verses of the Bible that talked about love which as a Christian is the greatest commandment......
The truth is we must respect other people so that they will also respect us too......Do unto others what you want them do unto you
