FRANCISTOWN:I think I read somewhere that U were an altar boy in catholic b4 becoming atheist. I've always said it, those who leave Christianity do so because they don't understand the faith. No true Christian who understands the bible will ever leave. These ex Christians simply make erroneous assumptions from the bible which unfortunately becomes their reality. Then they make ignorant decisions based on these falsehoods. And to be sincere, I don't blame them. The church has taken too many things for granted in the last few decades without checking if the members are on the same page with the pulpit. The bible says work out your salvation with fear and trembling, unfortunately today's church has failed to guarantee it's own salvation. The members are seeing this and are beginning to question the faith. I myself had my own challenge reconciling my belief with the message coming from the pulpit and at a time I began to drift away. That was until I began to study the bible myself and research the theology within it. The revelation from the bible is clear- it's impossible for the bible to be false. It's impossible for the message coming from the bible to be made up. If U actually take time to study and research the theology of Christianity, U can only come to one conclusion. The God of the Bible is the only true God. I can take U on this journey so long as U have an open mind and willing to learn new things. I remember I debated one of U agnostic here called Nonethnicity or something like that. By the time I disconnected his claims from reality, he couldn't continue because he was stuck. |
moscow007:U are very naive. U think international politics start and end with west Vs Russia. Have U asked yourself why Saudi Arabia and Egypt refuse to support the Palestinian cause? Weak Sunni muslim gulf countries are being surrounded by militarily strong Shia Muslim backed regime- Hamas, Hezbollah, Yemen, Iraq and their chief sponsor Iran. And U think Al Qaeda, a sunni terrorist group will jump and give voice to a cause against the interest of their sponsors. Saudi Arabia will just cut off funding. Next time, Use your brain b4 you write. Hamas is the common enemy of the Muslim gulf countries and NOT Israel. |
Ok, but Africans have heard enough of all these motivational speech. What we need is action. Put words into action. Develop your country and let's hear something good about Burkina faso. Africans are thirsty for the first successful black nation. |
AntiChristian:Yes, the companions of Muhammed beat their wives. Aisha confirmed it. Narrated `Ikrima: Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came, `Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" So Yes Muslims men beat their wives according to your books. Now when the Quran says strike your wives, does it mean beat your wives as described by Aisha, mother of believers. |
AntiChristian:Don't worry wait for Honesttalk he will show U the verse. Now do U agree strike your wife means beat your wife in both Arabic and English version of the Qur'an? |
AntiChristian:Go and do your own home work. No food for lazy man. Just imagine, he hasn't done his own assignment but came here to post a topic on passion of Christ based on poor knowledge. Honesttalk be like say U sabi bible pass this otondo. Pls show him the bible verse. |
AntiChristian:This is done and dusted. You are the one who should bring evidence that the different inscriptions are the same letter for letter and word for word. It's common sense that sentences are not translated literally when written in different languages. They are translated in such way that the message and meaning remain the same in different languages. This is the standard in the linguistic scholastic works. For example 'Man is dog best friend' when translated to Yoruba becomes 'Aja ni ore eniyan' Those two words are not the same literally but the translation is correct and the message it conveys is the same. It's just common sense, something very rare among Muslims illiterate apologetics. Funny enough Quran has the same problem of literal translation. That's why modern Muslims are denying some passages in Qur'an claiming the original Arabic doesn't have the same meaning. For example the Quran says husband should strike their wives when they disobey. modern westernised Muslims who are embarrassed by that verse will claim the Arabic word for strike is a literal translation and the meaning of the word is different in the Arabic Quran. AntiChristian what's your opinion on this? |
AntiChristian:John wrote down the Aramaic inscription in his book. Mark wrote down the Latin inscription in his book Luke wrote down the greek inscription in his book. Matthew wrote down the Hebrew translation of the inscription in his book. They were all correct. They simply wrote down what was written in different languages in different LITERAL TRANSLATION. What's so difficult to understand here. |
AntiChristian:There were 3 inscriptions on Jesus cross written in 3 different languages.. Aramaic, greek and Latin. The Pharisees also interpreted the reading in Hebrew making 4 readings. Except U here to tell me the inscriptions in the 4 languages are the same letter for letter, word for word which is impossible due to linguistic challenges....U have no point. For example .... I could write The king of the Jews in English Then in Yoruba write ELEYI NI OBA AWON JU OR OHUN NI OBA AWON JU. THOSE THREE SENTENCE MEAN THE SAME THING AND COULD BE TRANSLATED VICE VERSA BUT THE LITERAL TRANSLATION IS DIFFERENT. IF 'ELEYI NI OBA AWON JU' IS TRANSLATED LITERALLY INTO ENGLISH, IT BECOMES 'THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS' SO LANGUAGE TRANSLATION IS DIFFERENT FROM LITERAL TRANSLATION. THE ULTIMATE IS THE MEANING OF SENTENCE IS PRESERVED. PILATE WANTED TO BE SURE PEOPLE GOT HIS MESSAGE CLEARLY, HE WOULD FOCUS ON PROPER TRANSLATION OF HIS MESSAGE RATHER THAN SOME LITERAL TRANSLATION NUANCES. PEOPLE WHO READ THE INSCRIPTIONS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES KNEW IT MEANT THE SAME THING. THE BIBLE AUTHORS SIMPLY WROTE THE INSCRIPTIONS THAT WAS REPORTED TO THEM OR THE ONE THEY UNDERSTOOD. Luke wasn't at the cross, they told him what was written in greek and he wrote it down. Mark wasnt at the cross, they told him what was written in Latin ( and he translated it to greek) since he wrote his gospel while in Rome. Matthew was writing to his fellow Jews, he reported the inscription in Hebrew and then translated it to greek. John was at the cross, saw what was written in Aramaic and translated it to greek. The Aramaic inscription has Yeoshua included while it was omitted in both greek and Latin because Yeoshua is a native Jewish name and has no meaning in either greek or Latin. The greek name Ieosous and the Latin name Iesus are all transliteration. Ieosous and Iesus has no meaning in the respective language. Just like Adetokunbo becomes Antetokounmpoin in greek. Antekoumpoin doesn't have any meaning in greek. Including Yeoshua in the greek/Latin inscription may confuse readers who may then misinterpret the message, thus Pilate choose to skip it. I believe if U are sincere, this will settle it. However if U persist in your nuisance behaviour, we will visit the Quran and test the literal translation hypothesis on it and the see how it fares. |
AntiChristian:The inscription was written in 3 languages: greek, Aramaic and Latin. Do U know that? |
AntiChristian:How many languages was the inscription written? |
Veetee:Something must be seriously wrong with naija men, their entitlement is nauseating. So a married man who engages in adultery thinks he should be controlling a fornicator because he has money. A married adulterer thinks he has better morals than a single fornicator. Well Oga sorry, the fornicator also has her own life of deception of live. As U are doing cover up, she took is doing cover up at her own end. I'm sure U would be mad if she calls U at 12 am midnight when U with your wife in Canada. So as U are pointing one accusing finger at the girl remember four of your own finger is pointing at U. |
AntiChristian:Just like I said earlier, U don't care about Islam So if your nonsense post bring ridicule to Islam U care less. U already realised Muhammed is a false prophet n Quran is a forgery. So insulting the religion further doesn't affect u. |
AntiChristian:Yeah just like holy spirit came upon Isaiah and Samson impregnated them Ode |
AntiChristian:see how stupeed you sound. talking about cum as if angel Gabriel spoke to Mary in English. seeing cum everywhere. just see how u end up in kpotokpoto. If I am Muslim, I will warn u to stop disgracing islam and bringing Quran to the mud by writing on christianity here on nairaland. |
TenQ:I'm beginning to suspect this AntiChristian. He has engaged enough and long time with Christians here to know Islam is false. I can bet deep within him he knows Muhammed is a false prophet and never spoke to any angel. We have shown him countless times the problematic theology in Islam but yet remains obstinate. I'm beginning to think he's benefiting from Islam. Only God knows if he's the treasurer of one Haj pilgrimage committee. The financial gain he's getting from Islam would not allowed him leave the religion. |
AntiChristian:Leave the bible out of your confusion. Answer my question with the Quran. According to the Qur'an, did Jubril stop being an angel when he appeared to Mary as a Man. |
AntiChristian:Ok, at least U have admitted holy spirit coming upon a person has nothing to do with sex. That settles the matter with holy spirit coming upon Mary. Now why did a Man who appeared to Mary, lifted up her garment and blew into it. In case U don't know, that's sexual assault. Did the Man seek Mary's permission b4 lifting up her garment and blowing into her farjah. Did Mary give consent? Sorry but the whole event looks very gross and disturbing. And yes, it's sexual assault. It's a violation of Mary's personal space, privacy and dignity. It's wrong for a Man to appear to a woman in her room, lift up her garment and blew into it without consent. |
Christistruth02:I think we should be guided by the scripture and not by emotions. The early Christians were also engrossed with the 2nd coming of Jesus that they abandoned everything else for the apocalyptic coming. They didn't even bother to write down the gospel of the Lord because they felt it was needless since he was coming back soon. They refused to join other Jews in their wars against Roman occupation because they regarded it as a worldly affair. To them, Jesus was coming back to reign on earth over both Jews and Romans. Even Paul had to write to them in Thessaloniki and reprimanded them for this erroneous belief. He admonished them to engage actively within their community because no one knows when Christ is coming back. The need to write the gospels only came up when the early Christians started dying without the coming of the Lord. That's why the gospels have late dates. Jesus made it clear the kingdom of God is here and eternity is now. Believers are to live like the 2nd coming of the Lord is the next minute. As believers it's not our business to anticipate the hour but we should live our life as if the hour is now. In that case, emphasis should be on righteous living, fulfilling purpose, being active in the Lord's vineyard, winning souls and spreading the gospel. Above is what the kingdom of God is all about. |
bassdow:This is stale. Work hard and develop your country. No food for lazy man. Nobody owes you anything. |
AntiChristian:I just want to clarify. Did Jubril stop being an angel when he appeared to Mary. |
AntiChristian:Holy spirit come upon prophets to manifest his work. Acts 1.8 [i]But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Judges 14.6 The Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon Samson so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done. Isaiah 42.1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. Isaiah 61.1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; Isaiah 11:2 2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD Judges 3 10 The Spirit of the LORD came on him, so that he became Israel’s judge and went to war. The LORD gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 1 Chronicles 12:18-20 18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, David! We are with you, son of Jesse! Success, success to you, and success to those who help you, for your God will help you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands. Numbers 11 16 The Lord answered Moses, “Bring Me 70 men from Israel known to you as elders and officers of the people. Take them to the tent of meeting and have them stand there with you. 17 Then I will come down and speak with you there. I will take some of the Spirit who is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself. [/i] These are verses where the Holy spirit came upon people to manifest his mighty work. There's nothing disturbing about it and there's nothing about Holy spirit coming upon Mary that's disturbing. But I find it very disturbing that a Man sent by God would blow under a woman's garment to perform miracle. That's very gross. |
AntiChristian:Holy spirit overshadow believers to manifest his work/miracles. Mary getting pregnant without intimacy is a miracle from the holy spirit. But jubril blowing into the garment of Mary sounds very disturbing to be honest. why is he blowing the miracle into her garment? why cant jubril just blow into her face, why must it be under her garment? |
AntiChristian:so u mean when Jubril appeared to Mary as a man, he wasn't an angel during those time duration. is that what u saying? |
Qasim6:Incarnation is incarnation- what matters is taking upon the form of another nature. In this case, taking the form of a man. I never said the essence will change. when I become angry, my nature doesnt change, my personality/emotion remain the same. That's why I can be angry and nice at the same time depending on the person triggering my emotion. The angels in the Quran didn't eat but they spoke like humans, behaved like humans, walked like humans, exhibited human characteristics that made people mistake them for humans. when Jubril visited Muhammed, zainab thought the jubril was one of muhammed's friends because he looked like him. The difference with the incarnation of word of God is he incarnated into a real human nature. The word of God took upon him the form of a real human and manifested through this true human nature. The union of this 2 nature is called Jesus Christ. That doesn't mean the word of God changed into human. |
Tolu2024:This is 2024. nothing special about travelling abroad anymore u work your ass out if u intend to achieve anything here. if u are not naturally hard working and smart, its going to be same rat race with a pseudo consolation that u doing it for your kids. laziness is not rewarded in anyway, sycophancy gets u no where. corruption i seriously frowned upon and paying taxes is real. saving is a strong culture u need to inculcate, otherwise it will be a case of living paycheck to paycheck. Good thing is strong work ethic is rewarded and the system functions relatively ok. so u can easily get by. |
AntiChristian:I find it very disturbing that an Angel blew into Mary's garment. what is Angel's business with a women's privacy? |
AntiChristian:So are u saying at that moment he appeared as a man, he stopped being an angel? |
Ohyoudidnt:are appearing angry or u have become angry with me ![]() which one Ohyoudidnt:sorry but cant make sense of above, I never used the word transform so dont know why u referencing it. Ohyoudidnt:ok fine, lets go with your definition. now if I took upon the emotion of anger. is that my whole emotion? dont i still have other internal emotions? are u saying my whole emotion have changed to anger? cant I be angry with someone and nice to another person at the same time. can't I be evil and yet loving at the same time to different persons. I can turn left and be very angry at a person, yet turn right next moment and be very nice to another person. Doesn't that tell u that my personality remain the same, it hasn't changed to anger. I have only taking upon me the emotion of anger which is not my personality. My personality remain who I am which is what defines me, not whatever emotion I choose to manifest. Ohyoudidnt:Guy rest. u guys dont have what it takes to debate trinity. abi no be basic theology terminology dey cause trouble for here. ordinary definition of incarnation, muslims cant define. Yet their koran has example of incarnation. If i ask u to tell me the difference btw a being and a person, another wahala go start. The one TenQ cause, we never end am. But how can u understand Trinity if u dont know the difference btw being and person. Ohyoudidnt:the only dance i want u to embrace is the gospel of christ. That's the music I'm playing here. |
Ohyoudidnt:exactly what we talking about here. A boy doesnt change to a girl simply because he looks like a girl. Jubril didnt change to a man simply because he looks like a man and God the Son didnt change to a man simply because he looks like a man. The word became flesh doesnt mean the word changed to flesh. Do u get it now. highlighted is very fundamental in the understanding of trinity. |
AntiChristian:Yes, if they incarnate into a real human nature. That's why the fallen angels could have sex and procreate. They had real human nature. AntiChristian:🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂😆😄 AntiChristian no go kill me So if I appear nice, I can fake it; but if I become nice, I'm not faking it. Is that what U saying? Does that make sense to U. TenQ really created serious problem with that Jubril appearing as a man angle. It's a very serious problem. |
Ohyoudidnt:Are U ok? Did I mention Jubril changed his nature? Where did I say Jubril changed his nature. Pls if your English comprehension is poor, sort yourself out. Don't project that on me. Incarnation doesn't mean change. Change is substituting a substance for another. This is not incarnation. I said Jubril became a man, I never said Jubril changed to a man Appearance and become is the same thing within the context we talking about here. When U take upon yourself another nature to appear as such. That's incarnation and U become the new nature. That doesn't mean the original nature is gone...it's still intact. If English hard, it's ok. But let me help U Tell me the difference btw I became angry and I appeared angry. I want to know the difference. |
