Christianity EtcRe: Match Making Church Opens In Lagos by seyibrown(f): 9:45pm On Dec 13, 2010
Isaac and Rebecca were 'matchmaked' but they were both 'available', and the matchmaker was not making a profit; his actions were in obedience to his Master and for the well-being of his Master's son. My argument was that there was no Biblical basis for 'fraudulent matchmaking', not that 'matchmaking is not biblical'. See below.

Sorry, Mate! grin There ain't no biblical basis for 'match-making (most likely unavailable )women without their consent to available men'! grin I will not invest epinni in any such 'business venture'. Go and find partners who share the 'vision' in 'Ikeja of NL'! ROTFL! 'Court' ko, Tribunal ni!

You are always eager to provide scriptural backing for any claims you make; biblical, Quranic or Hadith-wise!  This time around, you are not presenting proof of your claims because they DO NOT EXIST!  grin Simples!  wink Al-Taqiyah-ing, perhaps?.
Christianity EtcRe: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by seyibrown(op): 8:38pm On Dec 13, 2010
[b]You want to prove to me that the Bible I use to today is corrupt. I say show me the original in support of your claim. If you show me the original and it shows that the current Bible has been corrupted, I will switch to real christianity that you have shown to me. Your Quran says Jesus is a prophet and Mohammed is a prophet. If you follow Mohammed, why can't I continue to follow Jesus especially since he did not corrupt the Bible and the Jews are allegedly responsible for its corruption? Does Allah say do not follow Jesus? Allah only said the books have been corrupted, therefore, if you can show me the original 'books', I will switch to the Original Christianity. You told me Allah would judge Christians by the 'Original' Gospel, so I will prefer switch to the Original if you can show it to me, especially since according to the Quran, 'there is no compulsion in Religion'. Why don't you ask Allah to reveal the hidden original to you or me? I have explained why I am not happy to be part of Islam: It kills its the very people it traps in it!

You want to show me two versions of the allegedly corrupt Bible? I'll show you two versions of the Quran too. Show me the Original version of the Bible/Torah/Gospel and I will compare it with the allegedly corrupt versions I have got.

Did you forget to answer yes or no to the question or did you avoid to give an answer:Does Islam allow married women to have temporary marriages with other men while their husbands are away on Business/Travel?[/b]
Christianity EtcRe: Match Making Church Opens In Lagos by seyibrown(f): 8:10pm On Dec 13, 2010
[b]My point is the 'availability' of these female partners. Anybody can get pictures of women from the web and claim that these women are 'available', when they already have a BF and know nothing about the advertisement being put up for them. Matchmaking itself is not the problem, it's the matchmaking of 'possibly unavailable' females to 'available' men for a 'FEE'.

Eliezer sought the hand of Rebecca (who consented to go) for an 'available' Isaac. Isaac wasn't 'made-up' by Eliezer for obtaining some 'profit'. The last time we heard of Isaac was at the 'sacrifice' on the Mount which was quite sometime before Rebecca was brought home. Isaac was a 'young lad' at the time of 'sacrifice' and was almost 40 years old at the time Rebecca was brought home (Jesus the Bridegroom going away after the 'sacrifice' to come back later for his prepared bride the church). It is very likely that the matter of 'getting married to a suitable woman' from his mother's family had been discussed with him at some point.

Matchmaking is not a bad idea; doing it for the purpose of obtaining profit without the intention of delivering to the payer is![/b]
Christianity EtcRe: Match Making Church Opens In Lagos by seyibrown(f): 6:12pm On Dec 13, 2010
Isaac was 'available', so was 'willing' Rebecca. 'Leah' was available and willing too. How did Jacob spend the night with her without knowing 'who' it was. Did she wear a veil throughout the night?  grin I don't think so.

Sweetnecta:
@Seyibrown; if it is proven from the Bible that it is corrupt, that Jesus is not God and that Holy Spirit is not God, that Comforter is not Holy Ghost but man, like Prophet is a man, what will you do?

will you and your husband, your children and parents of both of you [husband and wife] renounce christianity and accept Islam?


if you can do that, i will present evidences for my position.
[b]I can guarantee MY conversion to TRUE CHRISTIANITY AS PROVEN alone; I cannot force members of my family to do the same but I can show them what distortion/corruption has been PROVED and let them CHOOSE, AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT PROVE IT USING THE 'ALLEGEDLY CORRUPT' VERSIONS IN CIRCULATION TODAY. You need to prove the distortion/corruption USING THE 'UNCORRUPTED ORIGINALS' as the standard of evaluation! For example; You can show me where it says in the ORIGINAL GOSPEL that 'JESUS IS NOT LORD' or that 'JUDAS DIED ON THE CROSS WHILE JESUS WENT TO KASHMIR, GOT MARRIED AND HAD KIDS' or  ' JESUS KILLED A MAN WHEN HE WAS IN CONTROL, or that MOHAMMED LIVED IN THE HEARTS OF JESUS DISCIPLES BEFORE THEY DIED. All you have to do is SHOW ME THE ORIGINAL and I will CHOOSE truth, not error!

Accepting Islam is another matter entirely, as  by showing me the ORIGINAL GOSPEL OF CHRIST, you will have introduced me to 'TRUE CHRISTIANITY' which is what I will stick with. Do I want to be part of a religion that kills its own people and shows them no mercy, and encourages its members to 'fight and slay' those who do not believe in it? No, I'll take up a place in a Thai monastery first.

By the way, are married Muslim women allowed to have temporary marriages of convenience too? E.g Doers Islam allow your wife to temporarily marry another Man while you are away on business/travel? Thanks. [/b]

Christianity EtcRe: Jesus Was A Muslim by seyibrown(f): 2:38am On Dec 13, 2010
[b]
jesus called God Allah, so do Muslims.
1. Jesus did not call God 'Allah' in the Bible! Please show me where you found it!

Jesus used to greet others by saying Peace be upon you, so do Muslims.
2. Please see John 14:27. His peace 'is not like' the world gives. Besides, saying 'Peace be unto you' DOES NOT make anyone a Muslim!

Jesus used to fall on his face while praying, so do Muslims.
3. Have you ever worshipped at the Celestial Church of Christ? If you had , you would have found out that they fall on their faces too. Do you know what positions people assume when praying in the privacy of their homes? It includes falling on one's face, 'full prostration' (as seen at Yoruba Weddings by the Groom, younger family members and his friends before they get the Bride grin), walk about, jumping, rolling on the floor etc.  grin

4. Christians, Jews and Bhuddist Monks fast too!

Jesus used to fast, so do Muslims.
5. It was the manner of Jewish women (in the time of Mary) to cover their hair; and 'Deeper Life Bible Church' women do too. Does that make them Muslims? And Muslim women who do not cover their hair, does that make them non-muslims? Do you cover your hair?

If both Jesus and Mary (peace be upon them both) were on this earth today, they would be more like muslims than any other people on earth.
I disagree on numerous points of which I list only a few below:
1.On the stoning of Adulterers:
Jesus said: HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN SHOULD CAST THE FIRST STONE. Christianity stones nobody to death for committing adultery.
Mohammed commands stoning. Islam stones adulteresses to death.

2. Killing:
Jesus did not Kill anybody
Mohammed killed plenty

3. Relationship to the Almighty
Jesus is the Son of God
Mohammed is the slave of Allah

4. Relationship with Neighbours
Jesus repeated and followed God commandments: LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR
Mohammed followed and preached Allah's comandments: 'FIGHT AND SLAY' YOUR NON-MUSLIM NEIGHBOURS

5. Relaying the message
Jesus practised what he 'preached' and his message never changed
Mohammed preached what he 'practised' and his message was constantly changing

6:Compassion
Jesus healed and gave his disciples authority to do so to
Mohammed never healed but maimed and gave his followers authority to do same (as seen in Shariah)[/b]

Christianity EtcRe: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by seyibrown(op): 10:41pm On Dec 12, 2010
1. Do you agree that with the responses given,that  the Qur'an not only asserts that the bible is corrupted but also a contains the conjecture of men?
[b]a. I agree that the Quran asserts that the 'books' (Torah and Gospel) are corrupted based on the Quranic scriptures presented.

b. I do not agree that the TORAH, GOSPEL and BIBLE are corrupted because NO PROOF OF CORRUPTION WAS PRESENTED in any of the contributions. A copy of the ORIGINALS will CLEARLY show what parts, if any, have been distorted when compared with the 'ALLEGEDLY CORRUPTED' ones in circulation today. The only thing contributors have ARGUED in the ABSENCE OF VALID PROOF is that 'ALLAH SAYS SO'. The original scriptures would convince me of any distortion/corruption and I would have no choice but to conclude that Allah's words are true if any corruption/distortion is found on comparison.

c. One of the contributors' referenced article, with appropriate examples, pointed out that 'the Bulk' of the contents of the Bible is 'The word of fallible Man', which is true BUT which I believe is essential in NARRATING EVENTS. Even 'God said' is a narrative pointing out that God 'did' something. 'The Word of Prophets' are also narratives of 'what God said(God's words). So 'The word (narration) of Fallible Man' is essential in passing across 'The infallible Word of God' to men! The Quran itself is  'What Allah said' to Mohammed which he then gave to Muslims!

If we take out all the 'narratives' of the events in which God 'said' something, we would have serious difficulty understanding the Bible. Try reading and understanding the scripture below without the 'Words of fallible men' as crossed out:

John 10:30-37 (King James Version)

30I and my Father are one.

[s]31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.[/s]

32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.


Sorry, vedaxcool, no proof was presented to allow me conclude that today's Bible contains the 'CONJECTURE of men' (considering the definition in red below) and I am still therefore of the opinion that the Bible contains RECORDS, REVELATIONS and GUIDANCE (by inspiration of the Holy Spirit) as GOD WANTS COMMUNICATED TO HIS PEOPLE.

Conjecture ( as speculation): a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence);

The 'narratives' shed light on how, why and when 'God said'; and the result has been that Christians do not have to defend 'THE WEAKNESS or STRENGTH' of an 'extra-biblical' account (like Muslims have to do for Hadiths) because of the narratives. The 'narratives' and 'The Infallible word of God' are 'under one Umbrella' to the advantage of the reader who is subsequently not at risk of 'dodgy alleged Christian HADITHS' such as 'The gospel of Barnabas' which has been exposed as teh handiwork of the Devil and his cohorts grin. The 'books' of the Bible were arranged by God through Man for GOD'S PURPOSE for his people: RECORDS, REVELATIONS and GUIDANCE HE WANTED US TO HAVE IN WRITTEN FORM![/b]

2. With the responses given can we say confidently that you agree with the Qur'an that the bible is corrupt? a forgery and at best the displaced words of God by the hand of men.
Please, see answers to Q1 as above

3. We read strange comments in the bible such as the geneeaology of Jesus whom you contradictinly claim is the son of God? I dey Laugh, but at the same time give him human fathers? how is that to be? why the Somersaulting.
? this is verse gives us the a strange situation by making it possible that the whole of Humanity is nbot more than 6000 years old? what a grave faslehood? pls we need answer not Gynastics.
[b]a. By the genealogy available in the Bible, Joseph is his 'adoptive'(earthly) father. The same bible tells us how his birth came about which clearly shows that Joseph IS NOT his biological father. The same Bible tells us of the Holy Ghost overshadowing Mary. This overshadowing is not 'se-xu-al in-ter-cou-rse' as many erroneously and denigratingly think; It is the presence of God being heavily felt by Mary. The Holy Ghost (God's spirit) breathed life into Mary just as God breathed life into Adam in the beginning. God, the creator of all men, CAN create man without an earthly father just as he did in the beginning. As Jesus said, God can raise Sons for Abraham from stones'. Jesus having an adoptive father is no strange thing as many people today have adoptive fathers (and mothers). Jesus does not have a biological father; He has the same father as Adam had.

b. The 'age' of the 'humanity' is not particularly an issue for me, the 'SALVATION' of humanity is. I agree with the Bible's view on the age of humanity. The idea that man evolved from Apes makes me ditch the theory of 'evolution of man'. How old does the Quran say 'humanity' is?
[/b]

Jesus was reported to have said in the bible emphatically, I do not know the day of judgment, the question is was he lying or telling the truth? since you claim that he is lord and all powers are given unto him, then can we conclude that such claims are either Lies or just smear campaign against his person? Remember you claim he could give life to the dead and died to save the world, but yet we find him admitting to Ignorance, now that is ungodly?
That information was not available to 'God the Son'(Jesus) in the temporal realm, It was with 'God the Father' in the spiritual realm. There was no point giving that information to the temporal realm as it would mean that most men would live as they wanted and come to God only as the day approached. The greatest commandments are to LOVE GOD and LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR; not START LOVING GOD AND THY NEIGHBOUR A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT DAY. As Jesus said, the coming of the lord will be as a thief in the night, when you least expect. As it is, 'the mice are only playing 'cos the cat's away' grin. Jesus left all his glory(knowledge of the 'judgement day' included) in the spiritual realm and came down to lowly men but he did give us the signs that would be near the end of time, and judging by what's happening around us, the time is near.

5. Can you point were exactly Jesus said worship and I am God?
John 10:30-37 (King James Version)

30I and my Father are one.

31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.


[b]Summary: He tells thems he and the father are one (united, one and the same, the same). They try to stone him for making himself God (one with God, same as God, God). He tells them that their law says they are gods. He also asks why they do not believe that he is the 'Son of God' (bearing in mind that he refers to 'God the Father' as his (Jesus - God the son's) 'father' and consider it as blasphemy that 'God has a son' (which Muslims also consider as blasphemy).

John 14: 16 and 26

16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 14: 1
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.



'Believing in God' (John 14:1) entails trusting, obeying and worshipping him. If we are to believe in God, and BELIEVE IN JESUS as commanded in the scripture above, we would trust, obey and WORSHIP him too.


I therefore understand from the scriptures above (and others like them), and by the Holy Spirit, that; 'God the father' is the father of 'God the Son' and that 'God the Holy Spirit' is God's Spirit (active force); and that the three 'personas' are the 'manifestations' GOD revealed to us for the purpose of communicating and having a relationship with him under the new covenant. You CANNOT accept one manifestation of God and reject the other two! If you know the Father, you will know the Son and the Spirit too; they go hand in hand(see italics in scripture above),therefore, when you are worshipping GOD, you are worshipping God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.[/b]

6. If Jesus is Lord auzobillah, then why should he refer to himself as being a servant of God? Aren't you lying on his head because he is not here to defend his name?
[b]JESUS IS LORD! The kingdom is his and those who do not wish him to be their Lord will be cast out of the kingdom. Imagine your tenant proclaiming that you are not and will never be his Landlord! grin I trust say one day one day, you go show am who be the Landlord! grin I agree with you that 'auzo's bin l(y)ahing to millions all these years indeed because he is of his father the devil grin, JESUS (the Son of God) IS INDEED LORD OVER ALL! Every knee WILL bow and every tongue WILL confess that JESUS CHRIST is Lord. Those who KNOW but DO NOT (hate to, refuse to, wish not to) CONFESS will NOT be part of his kingdom! grin. Don't like Jesus, you won't be part of his Kingdom? No probs; You will be part of the one whose kingdom you love! grin


I know from my Bible that Jesus said he is 'the servant of God, the Son of God, and God', and that the Holy Spirit would be sent in his (Jesus) name. I ain't lying, I found what I say in the 'word of God' by the Spirit of God'.

. . . . . .  and since when did you start 'caring' about me or other Christians 'lying on Jesus' head'?  grin

Christianity EtcRe: Seyibrown And Nopuqeater Try To Explain! by seyibrown(op): 10:18pm On Dec 12, 2010
Sweetnecta:
^^^^^^ I dont think Seyibrown read my first post on the subject. I said then and even now that my position is that of the Prophet (AS). He never cause any harm on the person that insulted him. Ever. I used the case of the Jewish woman who gave him and the companions (RA) in Khaibar poison meat.

I also used the case of the muslim (RA) who released the secret[s] of the muslims in Madina to the disbelievers in Makka. In either case, the intention was well within the action of the people. The messenger (AS) through to form of the quality of his being the one with the most mercy among mankind did not react to them.

That is very clear. This is my position. I am sure if the Messenger were here now, he would have not even paid any attention to her personal attach, unlike the one who said "bring him here and slay him before me".

Word of a leader is his action. It moves followers to do what they do. You can claim that I turn the other cheek. People know that is unreal especially when the same person said "bring him here and slay him in front of me".

The mercy you are showing is unreal. Your leader never forgave anyone when he had the upper hand. Muhammad (AS) forgave many; Makkans, People of Taif, and even the Jewish woman who decided to poison him.

Can Jesus of the bible handle that since every time he is in control, he was not merciful. The case of the adulteress cant count; Jesus was not in control in the sense that the woman didnt offend him. The woman who poisoned the meat she offered Muhammad (AS) clearly offended him. Yet he forgave her.
1. Please give me the judgement/punishment that was carried out on the woman who poisoned Mohammed and his companions. Just write it in no more than 2 sentences and quote (as e.g Bhukhari pg 29 etc or Quran 2: 19) scripture that I can check to confirm what you say.

2. In the bolded, which leader are you talking about?

3. Please give AS MANY INSTANCES as possible where Jesus WAS merciful and did NOT forgive when he was in control/ where he had the upper hand, and where such led to the death of the person(s) involved, You can even add instances of where he killed people, ordered people to be killed etc. Please provide references in support of these instances.

Thanks.

sweetnecta, You forgot to respond to this bit of my last post:

Glory be to God Almighty who preserved your life and that of the 'precious woman' (wife or daughter-in-law) in your life! I rejoice with you that God has saved your 'wife'.

Now, remember that 'man' in pakistan whose 'christian wife' you think should be killed for 'insulting' Islam! Will you pray to God to save her life like you prayed to God to save the life of your 'wife' so that she can go home safely to him from prison? God does not strike us with lightning everytime we sin, He lets us live peradventure we will turn from our sinful ways!

Please let me know whether despite the fact that God preserved your 'wife' who has sinned some point in her life, it is still your opinion that the Christian Pakistani woman does not deserve to keep her life because she 'sinned' against Islam.

Think about it DEEPLY because the measure with which we measure for others will be used for us too! Does God 'kill' you every time you commit a sin, and even when you do it again? Do you get the chance to go and say your prayers? Measure for this woman and every other person whose life is about to be taken at any point in time by Islam, with the same measure that you want God to use for you when you commit your NEXT SIN! MERCY or DEATH? SWEETNECTA, BE YOUR OWN JUDGE!

^^^^^ this was some 610 + years of Jesus' who ever didnt sin to cast the first stone.


I wonder why they came to Muhammad (AS) if the ruling of Jesus as above stand?

But then we have punishment of illegal sexual acts in the Quran and in the Hadith.

I am a muslim male. You are a christian male. There are jewish males. We are all males. the truth is that we have common gender, similar to common punishment for common offense. Illegal sexual act is an offense without any doubt. Somebody is offended.

At least the father of the woman who gave freely to the neighbors. If she is married the husband is also offended.

If its a man, his wife is angry and wants his head off his neck.
I also quote from you our thread:
However you sliced it, in this case the bold has its ruling already. A bachelor caught in the act is to be whipped 100 lashes after judgment. A married man should be stoned to death after judgment. I'm sure that your tune will be different if you find "hubby" doing the do. Women will ask for his head on a platter with batting an eye. When you say that you will not follow God's Order because you are more moral, that itself is pride, sinful and deserves punishment. I personally will ignore a person in that I find doing the do. I know the consequence of announcing it. If my spouse were to be found in that condition, unlike Toba who will forgive and make up, the relationship end right on the spot.
Why wasn't Mohammed stoned to death when one of his wives caught him sleeping with the maidservant? Is sleeping with someone you are not married to not adultery in the Quran? Or was Mohammed granted special permission by Allah to commit adultery? Please give the correct  account if I am incorrect in that his wife caught him with the maidservant!

First name is not always a good or specific way to identify an individual. If we wrote just Seyi on the board, some other person may think it was his/her own seyi, hence we write brown after to specify Seyibrown. Do we have this in the Bible writers? John; what John or John what?
Lovely question  grin. I promise to answer but please give me the surname of the Jesus mentioned in the Quran (only asking since he is mentioned and glorified in the Quran) or from anywhere else!

Was he given any by his SENDER to preach or he just made up his own, without any "Authority" over him, even though we read verses where he said he was sent? Sending cant be without any instruction. Can we say the Instruction[s] were revelations? Please point out such a possible "revelation" to us. I do hope that one of these two is; 1. Your servant Jesus, who You sent. 2. My father and I are 1.
Jesus taught what he 'heard' of the father! He said he is in the father and the father is in him, and that he and the father are ONE! Jesus was the message - THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE! The 'MESSAGE' came down! The 'word of God' came down to his peope! God CAME DOWN to his people! JESUS is THE WORD OF GOD. sweetnecta's word is sweetnecta! GOD'S WORD IS GOD! God's word is AUTHORITY!

I will accept that one of the statements numbered 1 and 2 is NOT TRUE when you SHOW ME THE 'ORIGINAL GOSPEL' that NEGATES the one you don't believe!


Did he preach make up from his own mind, or was it revelation from his Sender? I am asking this question because I need to know how the Bible writers were able to describe the events of Mary's pregnancy, the birth of Jesus, and other matters, which Jesus was too young to know and the writers were not present when they happened.
He spoke the mind of THE FATHER THAT WAS INSIDE HIM AND THAT HE WAS ALSO INSIDE! Jesus' mother was alive and would have told the story concerning his birth. Same goes for 'other matters', those who witnessed or were informed of the events gave accounts.

The teaching[s] of Jesus included the ghost coming upon and powerfully overshadowing Mary, delivering baby in a mearnger. Do you live your lives like that?
The words of Jesus' did not include the above but the account of those around say that and the event of a 'virgin being with child' had already been prophesied in the Old Testament and the people were expecting it to happen; Jesus conception was the fulfilment of that prophecy! The Holy Spirit 'came upon' people in the OT, in the NT and still comes upon people today. It is not SE-XU- AL IN-TER-COU-RSE, it is 'FEELING THE PRESENCE OF GOD'S SPIRIT! Yes, we still 'live our lives like that': THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN US AND WE 'FEEL HIS PRESENCE' WHEN HE WANTS US TO! grin

So his lifestyle itself shouldnt count, though you are trying to imitate this lifestyle. It is the imitation that counts, not the original? Is that not possible therefore that if he said something, someone might have heard something else, entirely different and ran with it? A servant cant be the sired don of the same exact entity. Or is that possible?
I believe my straightforward answer adequately addressed the lady's straightforward question. JESUS is the CHRIST; His FOLLWERS are the CHRISTIANS!

You will always read hadith saying, from the authority of such and such, to such and such, to such and such, until the such and such person is the companion (RA) of the Messenger (AS). Such companion will say; I heard the messenger of Allah say Such and such on the occasion of such and such. That begins to give a reason for somebody to even look at it as a possible hadith. Then you will look at the chain of narration, examining the narrators and also applying the hadith to Quranic verse or verses, the possible and already known quality of the messenger (AS), and other factors of how many chain of narrations. Hadith is a discipline all by itself.

Hadith since we have from fake to weak all the way to strong, its more like your Bible its fake to weak all the way to strong verses.If you remember that i argued that the "hadith" of Aisha saying that she was 6 or 9 was not sound and hence not a hadith because it didnt say I heard the Messenger say such and such, . . . .
In other words, Hadiths are not 'revelation' from Allah but 'eye-witness' accounts of Mohammed's companions! Please correct if wrong!

Please guys, don't let us forget that the issue at hand is to answer vexdacool's questions as repeated below. Vedaxcool, please, leave the commentaries for some 48 hours to allow other Xtians to answer your questions. There will be time to ask further questions that arise. Thanks all!

1. Do you agree that with the responses given,that the Qur'an not only asserts that the bible is corrupted but also a contains the conjecture of men?

2. With the responses given can we say confidently that you agree with the Qur'an that the bible is corrupt? a forgery and at best the displaced words of God by the hand of men.

3. We read strange comments in the bible such as the geneeaology of Jesus whom you contradictinly claim is the son of God? I dey Laugh, but at the same time give him human fathers? how is that to be? why the Somersaulting.
? this is verse gives us the a strange situation by making it possible that the whole of Humanity is nbot more than 6000 years old? what a grave faslehood? pls we need answer not Gynastics.

4. Jesus was reported to have said in the bible emphatically, I do not know the day of judgment, the question is was he lying or telling the truth? since you claim that he is lord and all powers are given unto him, then can we conclude that such claims are either Lies or just smear campaign against his person? Remember you claim he could give life to the dead and died to save the world, but yet we find him admitting to Ignorance, now that is ungodly?

5. Can you point were exactly Jesus said worship and I am God?

6. If Jesus is Lord auzobillah, then why should he refer to himself as being a servant of God? Aren't you lying on his head because he is not here to defend his name?

this are just a tip of the ice burg.

vedxacool,

I think it will be fair to let other Christians answer the questions you raised before I do (if I need to add any points).

You added post # 36 after contributions to the questions were closed and then you accuse me of being dishonest. Don't blame me for mistakes you made, please. Your post # 31 as quoted below did not adequately address the questions posed and would have got you 5 out of 100 in an exam (just for putting pen to paper).



vedaxcool:
I found the below in the Quran, and it ONLY tells me that the TORAH and GOSPEL are valid as God will judge the Jews and the Christians respectively by them.
[size=18pt]
I dey Laugh!
[/size]

QURAN 5: 46 -48 ( Version: Sahih International)
46 And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.

Pls Point to the Gospel, which of them is according to Jesus, as the Qur'an says we gave Jesus son of Mary the gospel, all I read in the Gospel according to mathew accd to luke, I have no business with this anonymous authors, Only with Jesus whom ALLAH dealt with. As for the torah When You and the Jews made it possible for a prophet to sleep with his own daughter and faced no consequence, any with common sense will reject such a bull for a book of ALLAH, and again we read in the Torah, Moses died in the land of Moab, he WAS SO and so years old, the question is can a dead man write his own obituary? absolutely no, then common sense dictate that some one wrote part of those books. when we say he did not approve of those spurious books,we mean the ones in circulation during his time.
Can you point where the Qur'an spoke about Paul? So we do need to swindle by unsuspecting people who accept just about anything that falls from the mouth of a liar.






47 And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.

So which laws where reveal in the Gospel?


48 And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.



This simply assert what we Muslims have been saying that is there are some truths to be found in this books, but frudulent individual have placed their words in them, and more so there was a time when Christians read from gospels such gospel of thomas, gospel of Nazarenes, etc but what happened? the church authorities simply decided this and that are the aord of God and hence we shall follow them. The Qur'an again wwas asserting that injuction such as common social ethos found in the Gospel/torah are to be followed since there are consistent in some way to the Qur'an injuctions

. . . . and that the 'Books' were already with the Jews and the Christians (as at the time of Mohammed and the writing of the Quran)

Just answered above

QURAN 4: 47 (Version: Muhsin Khan)
O you who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad SAW) confirming what is (already) with you , before We efface faces (by making them like the back of necks; without nose, mouth, eyes, etc.) and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. And the Commandment of Allah is always executed.




I did not find anything in the Quran that says that that the 'Torah and Gospel' that the Quran refers to as what 'God will judge the people of the Book by' and that which 'was already with them' have been corrupted.

Because certain rules and injuction are consistent with the Qur'an, like we read about the ten commandments in the torah hence this are what are consistent with Qur'an, as always asserted by Muslims devine reelation follow a similar stream of do's and don'ts. but the koko is that you guys have been slash them because they do not follow your preconceived blasphemy such as Jesus is Lord notions. and didn't the Qur;an say:
[b]
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.

1. Have you got any scriptural proof that the 'Torah and Gospel' as referred to above as being valid before God WERE DISAPPROVED BY MOHAMMED? Please provide them. I will prefer proof from the Quran over proof from an Hadith given the number of times Muslims have told us of the unreliabilty of certain Hadiths on NL!

Your preference of one evidence over another is as meaningless as a goat's bleating,as the Qur'an has authorized the hadiths Hadith scolars took time to to authenticate true hadiths,it is Just like saying do not quote any of the Gospel unless the one Jesus authored shekena. and Like the Qur'an says
[b]


And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.[/b]

2. Please provide Quranic proof that the Torah and Gospel (that God will judge Jews and Christians by) as referred to in the scripture above was the 'corrupted' ones, or provide Quranic proof to show that the scripture refers to the 'uncorrupted' ones.

When you show me proof of the gospel Jesus authored then I will answer you but as long as you quote some anonylous authors Ba ruwana!



3. Please provide proof, Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the contents of the 'corrupted' books SIGNIFICANTLY distort the message of the original books, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.

You will have to delete ridiculous passages from the bible for us to take it serious, really like the verse that makes a son older than his father and other contradictory verses like the genealogy of Jesus where Joseph is Given two fathers, an biblical impossibility.


4. Please, also provide Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the 'corruption of the originals' ONLY as you have found and provided in answer to Q3 above are to the extent that adherents of the books abide by rules that cause them to live contrary God's commandments, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.


You like repeating yourself in the hope that falsehood becomes truth.



5. Please provide proof (Quranic) as to whether the 'Books' had been corrupted AS AT THE TIME the 'revelation of the Quran' was given to Mohammed or the 'writing of the Quran' OR that they were corrupted AFTER the 'revelation' and 'writing' of the Quran.

I have shown you how certain books where thrown away by the church in a bid to streamline their views with the Bible. I donot really have time now but know that I will be back with answers and questions, Know that if you start your mouth Gymnastics in this thread then I will follow suit.
Rather than address the questions, you were being cheeky. Your effort did not score any points for Islam, ask your fellow Muslims. They made considerable effort to counter my arguments, YOU did not, and are now blaming ME for YOUR poor effort.

TRY TO DO ISLAM PROUD NEXT TIME! If you cannot stand the heat in this kitchen, please, do a runner and give us space to have intelligent and civil debates in here!
Christianity EtcRe: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by seyibrown(op): 6:45pm On Dec 09, 2010
Muslim brethren, your turn with the questions.  grin  grin
Christianity EtcRe: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by seyibrown(op): 6:32pm On Dec 09, 2010
Now, seyi, this verses clearly indiate that you and your Christian and Jewish Cohorts have forgoten good parts of what was revealed and the jews were involved in the dislocation of the Bible "  made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message"
Hence this is an indication of the corruption we are talking about. And like I said the Qur'an Obviously was reffering to legal injuctions found in the bible and hence this does not in any way refer to the Bull Crap we find in the Bible. On Tuersday on a trip, I had the pleasure of discussing with a Christian Elder, we chatted from one topic to another till we got to the issue of the religion, He Categorically told me that God did not fathered Jesus and instead he understood the word Begotten, as meaning Being the primary Cause of the existence of Jesus, in any case he said I should tell people like you that you are misconcieving the real Jesus. But like I have taken answered you question, let me see the Gynastics you would trow.
Seyi as for your Summary, you did not realy surprise me in any of the falshood you ranted, A chief reason I gave was simple, i ask where did the Qur'an talks of Paul? I ask where did the Qur'an talks of Mathew, Mark or Luke? The Qur'an speaks of giving the gospels to Jesus, but what like I said you did not suprise me as I have long before now detected significant levels of dishonesty in dealing with you. Your summary is not only self serving but an indication of your dishonesty, who are you to leave out what people say? Is this the Purpose of this thread? to show us how you can win an arguement/discusion by overlooking daming evidence? Just keep it Up. As I find it a strong evidence of the falsness of the path you follow.
vedaxcool:
I still Dey Laugh! grin grin grin cool
[b]vedaxcool,

Thank you for the COMPLIMENTS! It's a shame you are not happy with the summary I gave in post # 35 on your responses. I only wish you had 'DEFENDED' your 'OPINIONS' by actually ANSWERING the questions posed instead of LAUGHING! You basically contributed 'nothing'. How do you think your responses CLARIFIED your position or that of Islam? The only question that other 3 contributors could not really provide an answer for was the one that arose from your careless and unfounded assertion that 'Mohammed did not approve of the copies that were around during his lifetime'. You absconded for a while only to come back when more diligent Muslims had put answers in defence of what you started.

Next time, try to CONVINCE non-believers by presenting Quranic proof in support of your views instead of LAUGHING your embarassment away while other Muslims are presenting arguments in favour of teh Islamic point of view!

Thanks for your 'CONTRIBUTION'(wastage of valuable bandwith) anyway!  grin  grin
