Lmao. You people love words that don't make sense.

Haha there is no eternal Truth to what is temporal. The truth is not an idea of man

How come those (which are your truths not his) truths contradict the old testament and the new testament and needed Paul to explain it?

How come those truths that are fundamental to your faith took 300 years to be fully fleshed out?

How come the people that you claim witnessed those truths couldn't even agree on basic facts in the Bible?

If Moses were alive today and you told him about what you believed about Jesus, would he or would he not call for your exe.....,,,,,cution? Be honest!



omoredia:
There is no truth in religion cos religion is the lies of man. The truth was in the beginning and will endure forever. Thats why Jesus didnt come to found religion he came to reveal the Truth.

You know nothing

You jumped on an Islamic thread to be spew nothing and it is still nothing.

You are right, religion is different from the truth and Islam is the religion of truth.

Qur’an 9:33 “It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth (dīn al-ḥaqq) to make it prevail over all other religion, even if the polytheists dislike it.”

U should say that u dont know what i know. Religion is different from truth.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Charlie Kirk's Assassin, Tyler Robinson Lived With Transgender Partner by Sterope(f):
Roomate or partner?

Both are two different things.

Eitger way, they are lying and trying too hard to blame the trans community.

"Tyler Robinson lived with his parent[/b]s, Matt and Amber Robinson, [b]at the time of the shooting. Authorities, including Utah Governor Spencer Cox, confirmed that the 22-year-old suspect had been residing with his family in a home in Washington County, Utah, for a long time prior to the incident on September 10, 2025. This is supported by public records, family interviews, and reports from sources like the BBC, ABC News, and the Daily Mail, which detail his upbringing in the Republican-leaning household and the family's role in his eventual surrender."

We don't believe in human sacrifice in Islam so Jesus never sacrificed himself.

We don't believe in original sin because it would be unfair and unjust for God to punish himself and us for Adam's and Eve's sins.

We don't believe in the trinity, an understanding of God that took 300 years to develop.

Above all, we don't believe in the Bible. The authors were anonymous and never knew Jesus. It is a collection of he said she said.

The truth my dear is that Christ died for the remission of your sins. Any other religion telling you otherwise is a lie from the pit of hell.
Food › Re: Why Is Northern Food Mostly Disliked??? by Sterope(f):
First of all, healthy eating requires eating carbs with protein.

We enjoy our soups without meat as well. However, depth and flavour in food often come from certain key elements like:

1. Protein and its fat – especially in foods like butter, cream, sour cream, and buttermilk These are particularly important in baked goods as well. Sour cream and buttermilk can make the difference between ordinary cake (like many Nigerian cakes) and a great cake.
2. Fermented foods – such as sour cream, buttermilk, or fermented locust beans (iru, ogiri).
3. Smoked foods - proteins included
4. Dried proteins – like stockfish, crayfish
5. Herbs and spices – including flavourful scotch bonnet peppers; Cameroon peppers; ginger

Southern Nigerian cooking draws heavily on this mix: fresh protein, dried and smoked protein, fermented locust beans, herbs, and spices. Leave these out and the soup may still be edible, but it will lack depth and a proper flavour profile.

In Northern cooking, flavour a little on spices but still not enough for the threshold, which is why Indian foods use a lot of spices, ghee, yoghurt to achieve a depth. Without that, the dishes can feel too plain or ordinary.

Try and make an okro soup with a rich goat, beef, turkey, or chicken stock (arranged them on the strength of their depth), then make one without. The difference in depth and taste is immediate.


Obavoh:
Hausa food is highly medicinal. We do not pack meat or fish to enjoy our soup.

The highest you can add is dried fish and that is optional.

We prefer to eat meat separately eg Suya, kilishi , Dambu Nama etc

Masa&Miyan Taushe (pumpkin soup)= ₦500

Tuwo with Miyan Kuka and dried fish= ₦800

It is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of submission.


You have studied the religion and that is your bias conclusion? You must really hate the truth.

themanderon:
Did I lie? I have studied the religion for years. It's one that glorifies violence against dissenters and unbelievers. I almost escaped from their blood thirsty frenzy during my stay up north. It was only God that saved us that day that it was not religiously related. I wouldn't be here today if it was.
How many times have we witnessed people being killed and burnt for one reason or another yet the government looks the other way. One recently happened in Niger. No arrests will be made. No prosecution will be carried out. We will only scream in disgust till the next killing happens again and again and again.
Yet they lie that it's a religion of peace.

1..Yeah because they are funded and enabled by Judeo Christians.

Jews and Christians coming together to enable Islam terrorism. How sad!

2. You have to disingenuous to hold 0.000000001% responsible for the actions for a few. When Muslism also make up for over 80% of their terrorist victims.

3. Everyone keeps forgetting that western interference is also a factor that drives these lunat....,,ics . Again back your Judeo Christian people.

Islam › Re: What Non-muslim Scholars Said About Prophet Muhammed (PBUH)! by Sterope(f): 1:38am On Sep 06, 2025
Yeah including poor amalekites newborns and children, animals.

What were their crimes?

It wasn't just the Amaliketes you forgot to tell us about other ones like the Midianites (Numbers 31:7–18), Amorites (Deuteronomy 2:34), Canaanites (Deuteronomy 20:16–17), Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (Deuteronomy 20:17), Bashanites under King Og (Deuteronomy 3:3–6), Jericho (Joshua 6:17–21), Ai (Joshua 8:24–26), and Hazor (Joshua 11:10–14).


The Quran never ordered violence just for its sake, the kill term appeared once in the Qur'an from Muslims agaisnt Pagans. It was because they kept breaking peace treaties and then if read in it's entirety with the rest of the Quran. It is still not genocide. That chapter s only chapter of the Qur'an that doesn't start with "in the name of God, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful" which scholars agree shoes God's anger against the polytheists for the constant breach.


IPDGP:
The Amalekites were ancient enemies of Israel.
Back in Exodus 17:8-16, the Amalekites attacked the Israelites shortly after they came out of Egypt.

God declared back then that He would “have war with Amalek from generation to generation” and promised to wipe out their memory because of their wickedness.


The Amalekites were not random victims; they were historically hostile to Israel (Exodus 17:8-16, Deuteronomy 25:17-19).

They repeatedly ambushed Israel, attacked the weak, and refused to repent.

God had given them hundreds of years to change since the Exodus, but they persisted in idolatry, child sacrifice, and violence.

The Amalekites’ destruction is seen as God’s punishment for persistent evil.

chiboycue, I remembered one point grin

For your so-called wild interpretation, guess which descendants and followers of the descendants have been expelled from over 100 countries?

Yes, the followers of Israel! And not even true descendants, since they share no blood with Israel..Meanwhile, the other descendants across the Middle East also faced trials for example, when they were driven out of Jerusalem by the Roman Empire ans the likes as well


PS. This is not condoning bigotry; however, your so-called interpretation against Ishmael actually turns out the other way round in history.
Islam › Re: What Non-muslim Scholars Said About Prophet Muhammed (PBUH)! by Sterope(f): 1:25am On Sep 06, 2025
Are you sure?

Because Jesus, if he were God, commanded or allowed more than four genocides already, including the killing of newborns and pagans just for being pagans (Numbers 31:17–18; Deuteronomy 2:34; Deuteronomy 20:16–17; 1 Samuel 15:3).

That is worse than the Qur’anic command to “kill” (because of constant breach of peace treaty against Muslims) or “fight.” The Qur’an says we should only fight those who fight us, and if they stop we should let it go (Qur’an 2:190–193; 8:61). It also says that we must not be unjust or unkind to those who do not fight us because of our religion nor drive us from our homes (Qur’an 60:8–9).

Let us be mindful of lies.

IPDGP:
Dont get it wrong, Jesus was saying a parable there explaining what will happen to unbeliever on judgment day.
Jesus did not in anyway command us to kill, get it right

Mark 16:9-20 never existed

You quoted Mark 16:15 shocked shocked. Mark 16:9-20 were never part of Mark.

Earliest manuscripts according to Eusebius (4th c.) and Jerome (late 4th c.) commented that almost all reliable Greek manuscripts of their time ended Mark at 16:8.

Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus also stopped at verse 8. These are all the earliest manuscripts of the Bible we have so far. There were some Bible that actually pointed it out as footnotes that they were probably additions.


Jesus was sent to all the nations of Israel never the gentiles

Jesus’ mission was for the nations of Israel. All of his disciples were Jewish, and he commanded them along with the people to uphold the laws given to Moses which were to Israelites.

So when he said, “proclaim to all nations,” it wasn’t about the entire world. He was speaking about the twelve nations of Israel the tribes descended from Jacob.

As Genesis 35:11 records: “God said to Jacob, ‘A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.’”


Steep:
you forgot to add that after Jesus resurrection he commanded his disciples to preach to all nations.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Exactly!

“And He has no partner in His dominion, nor has He any protector out of weakness. And proclaim His greatness.” (Qur’an 17:111)

“They say, ‘The Most Merciful has taken a son.’ You have certainly made an outrageous claim. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation, that they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.” (Qur’an 19:88–92)

He doesn't have a companion nor a partner now why and how would he have a son.

My God has no companion, no son.

Your God has a mother, a son of himself, he regrets and he rests!

Steep:
But Allah cannot have a Son except he has a girlfriend.
undecided
Surah Al-An‘ām (6:101) reads as follows (translation by Saheeh International):

> "He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion, and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing."

Islam › Re: What Non-muslim Scholars Said About Prophet Muhammed (PBUH)! by Sterope(f): 7:01pm On Sep 05, 2025
I love the Judeo-Christian interpretation lol. Now, Let’s interpret it without your bias:

1. Wild donkey not wild man: The phrase describing Ishmael actually means a “wild donkey” . Why a donkey? Donkeys are usually tamed and in servitude, and, according to the Bible, Hagar was a slave. But Ishmael wouldn’t be; he would be free and independent, reflecting the Bedouin lifestyle. See Job 39:5–8, where God describes the wild donkey as free and joyfully surviving in the desert.

2. Not all Muslim majority countries are Arabs genetically,: when people discuss Middle Eastern conflict, they lump all Muslim-majority countries together and label them as “Arabs.” Politically, that is right but genealogically and genetically, it is not accurate. Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians, Egyptians, Lebanese, and Palestinians are not necessarily descendants of Ishmael, despite common assumptions about fighting or “wild” traits.

Historical and genealogical traditions trace Ishmael’s descendants more reliably to regions like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, and several other parts of the Arabian Peninsula.

Which again calls your claim about them being wild into question.


3. Finally, the grammar in the verse about Ishmael’s dwelling deserves attention. For example other interpretations:

New American Standard Bible (NASB): “he will live to the east of all his brothers.”

King James Version (KJV): “he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”

English Standard Version (ESV): “he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”


chiboycue:
Genesis 16:12 according to New King James Version is a prophecy delivered by the Angel of the Lord to Hagar about her unborn son, Ishmael, stating that he will be a wild, untamed man whose hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him. The verse describes Ishmael's nature and the future condition of his descendants as a people known for their fierce independence and constant conflict with others, but also mentions he will become a great nation, as seen in the verses that you mentioned all

Nature of Ishmael:
He is described as a "wild man" . he term "wild man" (Hebrew: pere adam) can be understood as someone who is independent, untamed, and free-spirited—like a wild donkey in the wilderness

His Relationship with Others:
His hand will be against everyone, and everyone's hand will be against him, meaning he will live in constant conflict and hostility with others. 

His Dwellings:
He will dwell "over against all his kinsmen" or "in hostility toward all his brothers," indicating his separation and ongoing friction with his relatives and kinsmen. 

Fulfillment:
Commentaries connect this prophecy to the future of Ishmael's descendants, such as the Arabs and Saracens, who were known for their wild and warlike ways, eventually becoming a great nation but often in conflict with other people groups.

Genesis 16:11 - 12 states that -
And the Angel of the Lord said to her: “Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son.You shall call his name Ishmael,Because the Lord has heard your affliction. He shall be a wild man. His hand shall be against every man, And every man’s hand against him.And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”


According to the above Bible verses (Genesis 16: 11- 12), what does it mean when the Angel of the Lord prophesy and describes Ishmeal as "a wild man" and that his hand shall be against "every man" ??

Islam › Re: What Non-muslim Scholars Said About Prophet Muhammed (PBUH)! by Sterope(f):
Again you attacking your God. You have an issue with Ishmael whom your God conferred blessings upon him and his descendants.

Genesis 17:20 – God says to Abraham:
“As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.”


Yet you have the audacity to say otherwise against Him, despite God's blessings. I don't find it unusual with Christians, there is hardly any debate where you don't end up attacking God or his people because you have an issue with Islam.

FYI, you were wrong with your initial submission. Christianity has taken more lives than every other religion Abrahim religions. The issue with Islamic terrorism is heavily influenced and most times funded by Judeo-Christians.


chiboycue:
I am not "attacking God". That is your own imagination. In the Book of Genesis, God changed Abram's name to Abraham, meaning "father of a multitude," and his wife Sarai's name to Sarah, meaning "princess" or "noblewoman".

These name changes occurred in Genesis 17 when God established a covenant with them, promising that they would have a son and that their descendants would become numerous, with Sarah destined to be the mother of nations.

Abraham still went ahead to listen to his wife Sarah by sleeping with Hagar without consulting God. The result is the birth of Ismeal and the world has not known peace subsequently.
