HABA! My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Psalm 22:1...
You yourself have been involved in blasphemy. Why do you Christian compare God to a Man by belittling Him. You as a believer should never say God forsake you. He knows what He has in stock for you. The reason why most Christians cannot change their ways is because they are chanced to have been born in Christians home and their parents however have indoctrinated the teachings to them. I pray it will not be too late for the Christians to understand that some Bible verses contradict each other just because it's based on fallacy and Maladjustment with various Versions!

Nope! I think its them Prophet Enoch and Elijah

profoyekunle:
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying 'ELI ELI LAMA SABACHTHANI? (My God My God, Why hast thou forsaken me?)'.
This is according to their (Christians') assumption that Jesus cried in a loud voice saying the above words while he was being crucified. This is a great insult as such words could only come from unbelievers in Allah. Furthermore, it is incredible that such words should come out from a prophet of Allah because Allah never breaks His promise and His prophets never complained against His promise.

This is a blatant declaration of disbelief according to All theological authorities. Whoever relates it to a prophet is a disbeliever according to the revealed religions.
Almighty Allah in the Quran, warns the Jews and the Christians against their blasphemy that Jesus is an incarnation of God (Allah) or the Son of God (Allah) or in rejecting him totally, and that they must believe in him as a messenger of Allah only.

your opinion; changes NOTHING about the reality

How have I not attended to the issue raised
The Apocalypse of Peter,The Books of Jeu or Yeu,The Acts of John....

crusadistic:
So says your church tradition and a book with unknown authors you're assuming to be true.

Do you even know there also existed early xtian sects and gospels that denied the crucifixion of Jesus...No! they didn't tell you that.

Allah provided a cover in the Qur’an for sex-on- demand. It is called “Temporary Marriage” or “Nikah Mut’a,” where a fixed-time arrangement and payment are both agreed upon in advance between the man and the woman. The “marriage” automatically dissolves once the duration expires. It is nothing but a form of PROSTITUTION legalized by Allah in the Qur’an.


Fixed-Term Marriage, Temporary Marriage or Pleasure Marriage are different names for the Arabic term, Nikah Mut’a. This form of marriage is based on a contract between a man and woman with a fixed date of expiry. The man and woman will become strangers to each other after the expiration date. Its format is that the woman says the following to the man after they both agree to the terms of the dower and the period of time:
“I married you to myself on such-and-such a
dower and for the known period of time”
where this period is stated exactly. The man’s
answer will be: “I accept.” The dower can be in
the form of money or something else. According
to the terms of the contract, the woman
becomes the wife of the man, and the man
becomes her husband till the end of the period
specified in the contract. Mut’a can be
contracted for a night or a few days, months or
years or even for a few hours.

MUT’A – AMONG THE GOOD THINGS OF
ALLAH
Surah 5:87: “O ye who believe! Forbid not
the good things which Allah hath made
lawful for you , and transgress not, Lo!
Allah loveth not transgressors.” (Pickthall)

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number
13o:
Narrated ‘Abdullah (b. Mas’ud): We used to
participate in the holy battles led by Allah’s
Apostle and we had nothing (no wives) with
us. So we said, “Shall we get ourselves
castrated?” He forbade us that and then
ALLOWED US TO MARRY WOMEN WITH A
TEMPORY CONTRACT (2) and recited to
us: ‘O you who believe! Make not
unlawful the good things which Allah
has made lawful for you, but commit no
transgression .’ (Surah 5:87)

The above Hadiths show that Allah revealed a
Qur’anic verse authorizing the practice of Mut’a.
In Sahih Muslim’s narration, we are told that
Muhammad permitted his followers to
“contract temporary marriage for a
stipulated period giving her a garment” in
return for the enjoyment of sex they receive
from her . Alternatively, as the following Hadith shows, even “a handful of grain” is sufficient for the exchange. Muhammad clearly allowed his men to use temporary marriage as a sanctioned form of prostitution. Is their anything holy about muhammed at all ?

5solas:

You are responding to my response to Solite3, whereas you have left my question to you unanswered.
List the things we need to do to be saved. Without knowing them, we will not know if we are saved or not and definitely cannot argue intelligently, if a believer can lose salvation or otherwise.

Scholar8200:
Grace and Truth came by Jesus and here's what HE said:
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John 15:6-8
Implication is:
1. The Vine holds the branch yet the branch in HIM that is fruitless will be cast forth! Whither your claims of Eternal security, once saved always saved? Or predestination?
2. Note that the branch to be cast forth was once IN the Vine! This knocks down your claims that some people that backslid in the NT were not actually saved.
3. We are saved by faith but if that faith does not , by the Indwelling Spirit(not by self-effort or struggling), reveal itself in fruitfulness we are cast forth just like Israel was and we CANNOT lay claims to be His disciples! And in the end, we shall be told,"I never knew you"

5solas:
So your argument amounts to nothing! You cannot hold a believer gets lost for not doing what he is supposed to do AFTER salvation! For what he does AFTER salvation can not and does not contribute to that salvation!

malvisguy212:
in Luke 1:26-34 the scripture address mary as "BLESSED AMONG WOMEN" and in the same verse, mary was betrothed to joseph and expresses
knowledge of the need for sexual intercourse to conceive: “How can this be since I have not known a man? "

And also in Luke 1:39
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went
into the hill country with haste, into a city
of Juda;
Mary makes a trip of over 100KM from
Nazareth to Judea to visit her cousin Elizabeth.
That is not a trip a 12year old can make.

I would first like to make it clear that I have no intentions to argue semantics with anyone. I am well aware that the word "spiritual" is highly associated with religion and superstition (the Wiki article discusses this as well), but words can have multiple definitions.

The spirituality I'm discussing deals with our experience & existence as human beings -- our emotions & our relationship to them, our relationship with other humans, our place in the universe, self-concept and outer perspective, the meanings we attribute to things, subjects like love and compassion and joy, healing from past hurts, and feeling connected to something greater than the individual self. As you can probably tell, there is overlap with the religious definition, and there are reasons for this.

Religion was one of man's earliest attempts to understand not just our outer world, but this inner human experience as well. Unfortunately, most organized religions got a lot of things wrong. But this should be expected, because they were thought up during a time when we lacked much of the information we have now, but still had all of the cognitive biases, ego-driven motives, and subconscious fears that are a part of our evolutionary history -- religious books like the bible & Qu'ran are evidence of this.

Humanity has since progressed in our knowledge and understanding. This is why, like the Wiki article states, new expressions of spirituality are emerging. Expressions that make sense scientifically, do not make unsubstantiated claims (or at the very least, make less of them), do not require dogmatic adherence, are light and never oppressive, and acknowledge the human condition with dignity.

My views have been informed & inspired by various readings I've done on human psychology, neuroscience, philosophy of the mind, biological and stellar evolution, mindfulness, and traditional Buddhist teachings. I just thought I'd share a very tiny snapshot of them (maybe I will add more), and perhaps start some interesting conversation or maybe inspire someone. Please, if anyone has something to share or ask, feel free!

A short intro into my views

An atheist is someone who does not believe in the literal existence of gods. Someone who simply recognizes that Odin, Zeus, Yahweh, Allah and the rest, are fictional characters that were formulated by human beings and passed on through generations of indoctrination. But the rejection of these characters in no way leaves us barren. In fact, it frees up collective mental space for more enlightened ways of thinking about our human experience.

As more and more evidence emerges, it appears that we are not in any permanent way separate from the rest of nature. On the contrary, we are interconnected expressions of this same universe we gaze at in awe and wonder. We came from the same stardust that formed the sun and we're still exchanging energy with it today. The molecules that make our bodies up are being recycled with other matter on earth all the time. Each of us were born from the interaction of two beings, who were each born from two beings slightly further back in time, on and on till the first sexually reproducing organisms and beyond.

And as these connected beings, capable of traits like compassion and empathy and learning, we actually have the amazing power to aid the collective growth of humanity, within and through successive generations.

[b]We can each develop our abilities to embody and express the most loving parts of our nature, while taming our more survival-driven and reactive emotions & thinking patterns (the ones that lead to war, division, & oppression when unchecked). Neuroplasticity, our brains' potential to rewire itself, allows us to evolve our own brains towards more kindness, acceptance of ourselves and others, presence, creativity, openness, and endless more possibilities (one tool for doing this is mindfulness meditation, which I will probably go into more detail on later).
[/b]
The universe, including our planet and all the beings within it, is constantly evolving -- expressing itself in new ways. Biological evolution is just one expression of this. The evolution of galaxies and celestial bodies are another. The evolution of human societies, technology, etc. is yet another. The evolution of our collective thoughts and behaviors is another. We can all help progress towards a more compassionate and enlightened world, starting with personal change.

To sum up, we aren't separate from this universe. We are an inextricable part of it. All of the atoms in our bodies have a history. We are "star stuff" as the late astrophysicist Carl Sagan put it, experiencing a consciousness gift. We are free to do what we want with this gift, but surely it would be best spent aiding the progression of humanity, this collection of conscious beings who hold incredible potential, towards more peace, creativity, innovation, love, all that good stuff that makes us light up inside. And all of that starts within ourselves.

SirWere:
Don't get me wrong, I know the difference between Missionaries and colonials.

Some missionaries actually cared for the populace they were adressing.

But in many places, religion was used to tear up whole communities apart.

Due to the connection of christianity and Europeans, the almost universal belief of white Jesus spread rapidily amongst the black people and used the final and most deciding form of slavery : Psychological enslavement

In most places, those who defied the christian religion were dealt with brutally, Whole communities were uprooted due to their defiance to Christianity.

I need not remind you; you know that yourself.


Like I've said before, North Africa has made contact with the rest of the world Long before the advent of christianity itself.




Saying Missionaries spread the good news to Africa proper, as in BLACK AFRICA; is a joke.

SirWere:
Their "Gospel" only Got to Ethopia,Eygpt and other North African Countries.... Which were already well documented in the bible.



The "Good News" was forced on brought to Africans by your beloved Europeans......

Fellow Christians, this question recently came into my mind. If Adam and Eve had not eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, would we have had the abililty to think independently or would we have been beings designed to be uncivilised and unaware of it? Remember, the fruit opened their eyes, and they realised they were naked......

Is this fruit the major cause of the freewill we possess?

THE MYSTERIES OF GRACE
Adam and Eve were naked, but they were not ashamed because they were covered by grace.
What is this grace?
Grace is a divine covering that protects a man.
Grace is a divine favour that positions a man.
Grace is an open door that blesses a man.
When grace is upon you, men will begin to honour you, situations will begin to favour you, doors will begin to open for you; things will
begin to work together for your good!
That same grace is coming upon you!
Adam and Eve enjoyed divine grace!
It was a grace that covered their unclothedness.
It was a grace that removed shame and reproach from their lives.
It was a grace that did not allow them to encounter disgrace.
Listen, it takes grace to be great in life.
It takes grace to avoid disgrace in life!
We do not go up in life by grade, but by grace.
When grace is in operation in your life, your life will be lifted!
When grace is in operation in your life, you will experience effortless rising in life! You will need more than what you merit, to be distinguished in life. You will need more than your ability to be raised in life. If all that you work for is what you eat in life, your food will be very small.
Adam and Eve were not naked because they enjoyed this grace!
Grace brings effortless rising in the lives of men. Grace stands a man out.
It was the Grace of God that lifted Joseph from
the prison and put him in the palace!
It was the Grace of God that took David from the wilderness tending sheep, to the throne of Israel as King! It was the Grace of God that transformed Jacob’s life from being a common criminal, to becoming Israel, the mighty man of God!
That same Grace will locate you tonight in the name of Jesus!


Good night, thanks for reading and God bless u.

This is laughable. in fact, this question by the O.P (as to the number of times one can be born again) exposes the many lies of Arminianism-the belief that one can lose salvation.

Lets take a look into the KING JAMES VERSION
Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12.
what does it say
it says:
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, i am not learned."
Now if you cheack the Holy Qur'an chapter 96 verse 1,
when Angel Gebrail commanded Muhammad(PBUH) by saying Iqra (meaning Read) he replied, "i am not learned"
So what else do you want to see before you believe?
