Christianity EtcRe: Why I Don't Need Jesus. by SIRTee15:
sonmvayina:
Something is wrong with the Yashua/Jesus messiah…. In the Hebrew text the Messiah must Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28). Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6). Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4) Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world – on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9). Come from the line of King David (see Genesis 49:10, Isaiah’s 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5, 33:17; Ezekiel 34:23-24). The most important aspect each one of these prophecies teach us about the Messiah is that if an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions during his lifetime, then that individual cannot be the prophesied King Messiah of the final redemption. The New Testament Messiah Jesus/Yeshua has failed with fulfilling everyone of these messianic prophecies, which excludes him from being the Messiah.
The problem I have with your likes is u don't bri g evidence for your claims or u can't successfully defend the wack evidence u bring.

U claim Jesus doesnt exist. I've had this discussion with your fellow Jews and atheist. Once u present irrefutable evidence of historicity of Jesus they gas out.
They can't counter it. They simply run away, hide for a while then come out to produce another useless thread about non existent of jesus.

U love believing in your delusion. It's like a steroid needed to validate your own religion.
U know why? because without Christianity, both Islam and judaism will be regarded as occultic sect and likely banned in some communities.
So it's important u badmouth Christianity to give credibility to what u worship.

Until Jesus arrived on the scene, the god of the Jews was regarded as a violent bloodthirsty deity who delights in genocide and mass killing. He wasn't popular at all.

Jesus who is God in human flesh came and made it clear that God is full of grace and mercy. He is a loving God who desires to restore humanity back to his lost glory. The Constitution given to the ancient Israelites was due to their evil hearts.

If there was no Jesus and no new testament, I would regard those who follow the tanakh as crazy and psychotic people to believe in a violent and murderous god. Even Jews would have abandoned the religion by now.

But of course u and other Judaism followers can run your mouth because of Jesus Christ.
Know this and let it stick to your skull, the only reason u can proudly declare u are a judaism adherent is because of Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ, your religion would be regarded as occultic and pagan. It would be no different from amadioha worshippers.

So every morning b4 u enter into your Jewish religion, first thank God for sending Jesus Christ because without him there would have been no hope even for u in Judaism.

I have debates with you and I have found youre a dummy.
1. So because I mistook another person's post as yours then automatically I was dazed? When in fact I was multitasking at that point. And you want to tell me you have never made that error before? Foooool.
2. I also found out you are empty. I remember that thread. It was about the errors in the Bible, and you couldnt counter a single bible error. Idiiiooot!
3. You also didn't know cancers have spontaneous remission and you were masquerading as a medical personnel. Scammerrr.
4. You are already trying to derail this thread like you did in that.
Please stick to the topic. Mumu
5. You obviously don't know what destiny is. Please pick up a dictionary, remove your religion tinted glasses and tell me what they say about destiny.
1. U were definitely overwhelmed. I remember I took on 3 of u atheists on that thread and didn't misquote anyone. So don't blame it on multitasking, u are not the only one doing that
U were definitely punched so bad on that thread u didn't know who was who anymore.
2. Your questions were all answered. You were just too coward and obstinate to see it. I remember one of your atheist colleague was humiliated on that thread so bad he almost cried.
Funny enough u didn't even offer to help him with counter evidence. U abandoned him to continue wallowing in his dose of disgrace. That shows how coward u are.
3. U are simply a liar. U came up with evidence of immune response in cancer therapy. I asked u if u have heard of immunotherapy, u admitted u don't know much about it.
Go back and read immunotherapy, that explain the evidence u brought up.
FYI BCG is used in the treatment of bladder cancer.
Compare above with your last evidence and see the similarity.
Your are not in any position to determine who is a medical personnel. Your own credentials are in doubt. Are u not they guy who didn't know the essence of biopsy in cancer management.
4. It obvious u had a terrible upbringing. Constant use of vulgar words as an adult is as a result of childhood abuse. What u suffering from now is what's called ACE.
5. Not surprise with your warp definition of destiny.
Since u believe a child who will become a prostitute is already determined at birth.
Such a depraved soul cannot come up with something better.

Pretty strange how the statements credited to Jesus don't seem to exactly agree.
Does John 5:30 not say: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
So what is the will of the Father that Jesus has come to fulfill.

John 6
38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Now the question do u believe in the will of the Father Jesus has come to fulfill.

You do not see that Righteousness is not turning to face because of your obsession with bowing. Allah is sufficient for muslims.

There are three parts of writing in your Bible as you have previously stated. The Quran is all revelation but you wouldn't understand. Muslims bow in reverence to Allah alone and there are some muslims that don't geniculate in greeting as this is viewed to be reserved for Allah alone.
I definitely don't have a problem with Muslims bowing down in front of a stone or kissing a stone during worship.
It only proves that the God of the bible is not Allah.

Yahweh clearly forbid bowing down to a stone under any guise whatsoever. He doesn't share his glory to no one not to talk of a stone.

Mark 12: 29 The most important one answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

This is in answer to the statement Mark 12:28
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

Where did Jesus specifically say the one lord comprises of 3 equal parts or 3 parts?
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

And so We have made you ˹believers˺ an upright community so that you may be witnesses over humanity and that the Messenger may be a witness over you. We assigned your former direction of prayer only to distinguish those who would remain faithful to the Messenger from those who would lose faith. It was certainly a difficult test except for those ˹rightly˺ guided by Allah. And Allah would never discount your ˹previous acts of˺ faith. Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity.(Q2:143)

We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens; now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque; wherever ye are turn your faces in that direction. The people of the book know well that that is the truth from their Lord nor is Allah unmindful of what they do. (Q2:144)

All muslims facing the Ka'bah is a symbol of unity, and the Ka'bah and what is around it is blessed

Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.(Q2:177)
So it was Allah that told u to bow before a stone. Did he also tell Muslims to kiss the stone?

I suggest you start your search from Marcion of Sinope. He was the first man/theologian to create a bible before the current council of Nicaea bible you are currently clutching on to.
The problem with Christians is your refusal to read and do research and in cases where you research your refusal to recognise the truth even if it slapped you in the face.
Your circular form of reasoning prevents you from accepting any truth contrary to" the truth in the Bible ".

For your information before the council of Nicaea, Marcion compiled and created his own bible and his own philosophy of religion in which there were two different gods. The evil wicked inferior demiurge god of the old testament and the loving superior god of the new testament and the father of Jesus.
The church elders and the Romans declared this man's bible heresy and his bible and books were destroyed and burned by the Roman government of the day and the current bible created with more books.
Read up. These things are all over the Internet if I am telling lies but the problem is you reason in a circular way. Any thing in your Roman created bible is true,no matter how ludicrous it sounds.
Good luck.
Too many falsehood, misinformation and ignorance in your write up.
Marcion compiled the first bible? Have u heard of Masoretic text?
Marcion claimed Paul is the only true disciple of jesus Christ. I'm sure even u will disagree with him.

The Marcion gospel allegedly written by Marcion who claimed it was the account of Paul was compiled along with 10 epistles of Paul as cannon.
I'm sure if we Christians follow the gospel of Marcion, u will be among those that will laugh us to scorn for believing a gospel written by someone who never met Jesus.
Marcion claimed the god of old testament is different from God of new testament who sent Jesus. None of the early church fathers taught this, none of Paul's letter- canonised or not taught this. Even the Marcion gospel didn't teach it.

Marcion reported that his Gospel was the uncorrupted work of Paul, who received all of the information from Jesus Himself. This is quite bizarre since Paul never followed Jesus when he was alive and possibly never met him.

He was rightly denounced an heretic by his contemporaries like Tertullian, Iraenius, Polycarp, Clement of Alexandria. Some of these people were executed by the Roman govt for their faith.
Thus your theory that the church excommunicated Marcion on the instance of the Roman govt is unfounded.

Your claim that his books were burnt is a figment of your imagination. His works are very much available. It's simply a modified version of the gospel of Luke.

So I'll indulge you one more time. So here goes….


These are the most relevant verses

Verse Concepts
Do u understand my question at all. Did I ask u for where God spoke in the bible or where the bible writers claimed they heard from God directly when they wrote down the bible...God dictated and we wrote it down.

So all those verse you copy and pasted, do u mean the authors wrote them down same time God was declaring those words ....is that what u saying.
If that's not the case then I don't understand the essence of your copy and paste.

Now let me teach u. The words written in bible are classified into 3 distinct references: The Word of God, the Words of God's Prophet and the Words of Men

It's not only the word of God that's in the bible. So the bible cannot be a dictation from God because it's not just his words that's in the book.

To people like you,all you aim for is to according to you,"Bury you just like I did....."
I am not interested in that but to point out facts and the folly of your thought process when you decide to suspend rationality and assume the emotional toga of faith.

The point is that the bible is an amalgamation of disjointed plagiarised myths cobbled together by men/scribes and not the words of an omniscient deity. These books were cobbled together in a haphazard way by the Romans (who had adopted Christianity as a state religion) and the Catholic Church at certain Christian Council meetings where doctrines were adopted.
Doctrines that did not meet the agenda of the Roman government and the Catholic priests were jettisoned, while those that matched the agenda were adopted as canonical. That is why the bible is packed full of apparent contradictory statements and philosophy. Once you understand this simple fact the problem of contradiction in the Bible is clearly understandable.

And a subtle reminder,you did not bury anyone on any thread. Your problem is once people refused to see things from your jaundiced viewpoint,you resorted to abuse and everyone just vacated the thread for you,so as to avoid descending to the level you wanted them to descend to-the mud.
Your point remain inconsequential if u cannot back it up with evidence.
And for a man u talk too much without any real substance.
Provide evidence about your claim, that's what I'm interested in.
U claim the Romans produced the bible, provide evidence. Just don't come here talking conspiracy theory.
What are this doctrines, who believed in them, when were they written, did the early Christians in the 1st century AD knew about this doctrines.
What were in the books that were rejected. What doctrines do they hold that made the Romans reject them.
Do we still have the books now, can we have a look to know what the controversy is all about.
Was there a bible b4 the Roman compiled one. What were the contents on the previous bible.
What about the dead sea scrolls, the Didache, the ketef hinnon scrolls, the tanakh, the Samaritan Pentateuch? Were they compiled by the Romans too? If yes, when?

Guy think like a scholar and talk like one. Not all these Roman wrote the bible and gave it to the pope to read out to Christians kind of talk. Leave that to kindergarten atheist.

Provide evidence...let's examine it. That's all I'm asking for.

As regards my previous posts. It's obvious u never went through them.
Most times I have to abandon the debate because u atheist are simply obstinate to the truth even when it's slapping u in the face.

One of the regular defenses chrissies put up when you confront them with the buybull is they say 'if you read the bible to look for errors, you'll find errors' and I'm like 'so you knew there were some mind-boggling cock-ups in that buybull but you still decide to base your whole life and still argue on it? '
I've debated u b4 and we both know how it ended.
In case u forgotten, u became dazed from persistent facts and inability to defend foolishness.
U ended up confusing me with someone else and lying to save face.

U called bible foolishness but u believe a concept that says a young innocent baby girl who is destined to end up a prostitute cannot do anything about it no matter how hard she tries.

So if that girl goes to a good school, raise in a lovely home, crime free neighbourhood, has good family values will still end up in brothel because it was her destiny to become a prostitute.

How above makes sense to a normal human being is beyond me
Even Muslims that has predestination written in their book are beginning to redefine it because they know it makes no sense.

I would rather embrace foolishness in the bible than believe in a stupid idea that I can't do anything about my future because it's already written.

I would rather believe in a book that tells me I can change my future for good just in the case of jabez; than believe a concept that claims the written past will always decide the future.

No wonder the best social value ever known to mankind is the Judeo-Christian value system.

You have successfully shown that the bible is not an inspired word of an omniscient deity. It is filled up with myths plagiarised/stolen from ancient civilisations. That is why there are so many contradictions and conflicting stories because the different stories were compressed into its present formats by the Romans and the Catholic Church at the various councils of Nicaea,Constantinople,and Ephesis amoung others. These were the meetings where the Romans and their collaborators in the early Church decided which of the various books circulating around were canonical and those that were heresy.
Those that the church selected became the books of the Bible while those not selected were left out.
You need to read a bit more. The books in the Bible were written by men!

I already defined to u what exactly is the word of God.
So I don't understand your point above.

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE MESSAGE not the letter.
U should learn the classification of exegesis in the bible. Words are men in the bible are not expressive and not inspired.

The biblical writer never thought or said they were writing God’s words verbatim. Instead, they were writing what they knew, what they heard, what they experienced about God.

The hard copy bible is a collection of words about God, not a collection of God’s words to us.

The message in the hard copy bible is the word of God and this is what is inspired by the holy spirit. That is what should not be added or removed.

Actually, most of the Hadiths reflected the true pictures of life in the 7th century Arab Societies.

The 7th Century Al-Hijaz, Arabia was a Desert with few Oasis towns and ,thus few opportunities to sustain thriving societies. Thus, many clans were in constant struggles (which are ofte violent) against their rivals/neighbours for the few available resources e.g water bodies& grazing grounds.

Violence was freely used and was an acceptable means of settling scores or stamping their authorities against their rivals.


The wealthy people , only made wealth through International Trade and Mecca was along the trade route.

Prophet Muhammad was born in and grew-up in that Society. He also used such cultural means to operate.

The problems crept in when,later-day over zealous Muslims elevated Prophet Muhammad to the Status of a Divine person whose actions were 100% perfect and MUST be emulated by all muslims , regardless of the era or places they live.
Good response.
To buttress your point. I dont see the problem with muhammed at 53 getting married to a 6 yr old in his time.
That was probably the practice in those days and Muhammed emulated it.
I can't read anywhere he was criticized for doing such..at least when he married his daughter in law, tongues wagged, rumors spread and few people condemned it; until Muhammed had to drop a koranic verse to cover it up.
People would have condemned Muhammed if getting married to Aisha that young was an abhorrent practice in those days.

But the problem is u will likely end up in jail if u try such now, except in Afghanistan and few other backward countries. U may even be lynched in some places.
And this portend a big problem for Muslims who believe Muhammed was a perfect man and best example to follow.
Rather than accept his imperfection, they begin to rationalize why there's nothing wrong in sleeping with a 9 yr old if she's matured and already begin her period.

The propagation of Islam with underlying violent and oppressive Arabic culture hasn't done much good for Islam.

Answer my question. Does Islam respect sanctity of human life.
Enough of rigmarole.
No where did Jesus Christ tell his followers to kill a fellow human or shed human blood for his sake
Even Peter and other disciples that acted too forward were cautioned.


When Jesus’ followers saw that they had come to arrest Jesus, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
Luke 22


Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Matthew 26


And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “[i]Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.

Caveatemptor:
This contradiction is minor now. Why not check out the Jesus resurrection stories in the four gospels which is supposed to be the foundation of Christianity.
Here is my response to your resurrection contradiction claim.


ve gone thru the different resurrection accounts in the 4 gospel and the there's actually no contradiction at all.
In fact the different stories complement each other and when merged together the resurrection events makes logical sense



1. How many women visited the Tomb?

The important thing to note here is that none of the gospel writers said 'only' a particular number visited the tomb. They simply mentioned names of women they knew that visited the tomb.
actual logical contradiction requires exclusionary clauses such as “only x, y, and z were there and no one else” or “only three people witnessed incident a.” None of the Gospel texts do that here; hence, no demonstrable contradiction exists (see Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:1).

Gospel of John seemingly makes it like only Mary Magdalene visited the tomb until we get to John 20:2. Mary finds the tomb empty, runs to Peter and (presumably) John, and says the following, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and WE do not know where they have laid Him.”

In reporting the words of Mary, John reveals that there were others with Mary.

2. Number of angels

The area which has generated the most discussion concerns the angels who were at the tomb of Jesus. Matthew and Mark relate that one angel addressed the women, while Luke and John say that two angels were at the tomb. This seems to be a discrepancy, with Matthew and Mark knowing of only one angel while Luke and John speak of two. However, Matthew and Mark do not say that there was only one angel at the tomb, but that one angel spoke to the women.

This does not contradict Luke and John, for Matthew and Mark specify that one angel spoke, but they do not say there was only one angel present or only one angel spoke. Quite possibly, one of the angels served as the spokesman for the two, thus he was emphasized.


3. . Who rolled the stone away

The issue with this question is centrally dealing with whether the stone was rolled away from the tomb when the women arrived. Notice that all but one account are in definite agreement. Mark, Luke, and John all say the stone had been moved when the women arrived. It is only Matthew who reports, or appears to report, that the stone was moved as the women were there. So let’s take a careful reading of the verses in question.


Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. (Mt. 28:1-2)

The event in verse 2 had already happened before the women arrived. They did not witness the earthquake or the angel rolling the stone. By the time they arrived the tomb, the stone was already rolled away. Matthew is only telling the readers how the stones was rolled away.


4. What happened after they left the tomb.

This is another area where we have a large degree of agreement between the Gospels. To varying degrees, the Gospels each report that the disciples were told. Or at least it was the intent to tell the disciples, which is all Matthew reveals. I will merge my explanation here with another seemingly contradiction which is who among the women saw Jesus.

If we study the accounts carefully, we can make the FF logical conclusion;

Mary Magdalene & the other women travel from Bethany to Jesus’ tomb.

Nearing the tomb, they notice the stone is rolled away. Mary runs to tell Peter and John while the rest of the women continued to the tomb.

With no corpse, empty tomb and encounter with strange men; the other women were initially shocked and took time for them to recover from these extraordinary encounter, until they got over their shock they told nobody.

Mary Magdalene returns to Jesus’ tomb with Peter and John.

Peter and John return to the house after seeing the empty tomb. Mary stays behind where she sees Jesus.

Afterwards, the other women returned to Bethany, stopping first in the city to report their findings to Clopas and other disciples. Thereafter, Jesus appears to the other women as they’re headed back to Bethany.

Another popular contradiction bible critics love to raise is the time the women visited the tomb which I will explain here.

All accounts indicate that it was early on the first day of the week. Matthew says it was as the day began to dawn. Mark, Luke and John all say “early”. The difficulty comes when we see John say that it was still dark, yet Mark say that the sun had risen.
Sunrise could vary in appearance depending on subjective observation. What is dark to some could be cloudy to another.
So these terms in reference to the same approximate time of day are not mutually exclusive.

Moreover, another explanation could be where the women journeyed from.
Earlier in the week some of the disciples lodged at Bethany, two miles from Jerusalem. It’s possible that the women were staying there for the Sabbath, and when John says it was “still dark”, he’s referring to the time they left Bethany and “went to the tomb”.
That’s more than enough time to go from “still dark” (Jn. 20:1) to “when the sun had risen” (Mk. 16:2).

englishmart:
I thought it was inspired.
It's the message that's inspired not the book.
In christianity, there's a difference btw the book and the message. This is key.

No one ever said God dictated verbatim to the scribes or prophets.
The prophets filled with the holy spirit received the message. The prophets then write down what they receive within the limitation of human knowledge and capacity.


The holy spirit preserves the message not the book.

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3.6


The word of God has no contradictions. If u looking contradictions on the letters, well they were written by imperfect men like yourself.
And that should tell u something about God.

no until you read and tell me what does verse say then your point will be answered


But to put it to you Islam is peace
As the name imply
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness Hebrew 9.29

The blood the law requires is animal sacrifice.

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14.26

To follow Jesus u deny everything in including your own life. Nothing about killing.

“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
Luke 9.27

I will never understand what this verse as to do with sanctity of human life.
Anyway now answer the question. Does Islam respect sanctity of human life.

Sir I'm certain you didn't read my entire note, or you simply don't get my point. I'm not telling anyone not to Japa, it's a free world... I'm only revealing the dark side of the moon, Which everyone deserve to know about too atleast before making a life decision. What's not fair is basing your decision entirely only on the bright side of the moon. I'm not wicked sir... And never will.
So u live outside but u telling people not to JAPA.
What u should do is relocate to Nigeria for at least a yr or 2, then u can have an opinion.

you probably have never gone out of your religion to seek knowledge


Pls don't fill insulted am only trying to say it the best way I can.
be honest with your self and open minded toward Islam aask question
Lean then you can now judge for your self
Not what people say
There's nothing to learn from a badly plagiarized book.
Islam doesn't believe in sanctity of human life. Islam believes a soul should be killed if it triggers the fragile emotions of Muslims. Islam justifies such killing.
There's nothing to learn from such religion.
Islam must first learn to respect the sanctity of human life before telling others to learn from it.

I've been in the UK for 7 years and I have no regret being here. That UK didn't work out well for u doesn't count for others.
UK is tough ATM no doubt but so is other parts of the world including Nigeria.
The only area Nigeria is better than UK is Nigerians don't pay tax, which explain why the country is messed up.
