Common sense, dear. Would it be cool if I called you a thief and then a mob gathered to lynch and burn you? What about handing you over for arrest, trial before the king, chiefs, or proper authority? Americans don’t tolerate that nonsense. FaAbData: |
You celebrate the birthday of "God" on a day and on a month he wasn't born. Muslims don't. The ones that do are only doing it for themselves. Vigils are nothing new in Islam, it is called Tahajjud and it is mentioned in the Qur'an. Holding it though en mass is a problem. It is meant to be a personal time between a believer and his God. themanderon: |
1. Daniel 2:31:45 mentions 4 kingdoms and then a 5th. Now let’s break it down whose kingdom God is referring The kingdoms are: 1st Kingdom – Babylon 2nd Kingdom – Medo-Persia 3rd Kingdom – Greece 4th Kingdom – Rome 5th Kingdom – God’s Kingdom 😘 aka Islam The whole world and history can testify that after Rome, it was the Arab conquest of Palestine. And Islam cannot be destroyed. It is here to stay. “But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.” “In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed” 2. Deuteronomy 18:18: I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. “A Prophet like you (Moses)” – Not an ordinary leader, but one with law, guidance, and governance like Moses. 2. “From among their brethren” – The “brethren” of the Israelites are the Ishmaelites (descendants of Abraham through Ishmael). This points outside the direct Israelite line. “I will put My words in his mouth” – The Prophet will not speak from himself but only what God commands. This mirrors Qur’an 53:3–4: “He does not speak from [his own] desire. It is but a revelation revealed.” “He shall speak to them all that I command him” Complete obedience to God’s words, not partial or selective. OriOko88: |
I love being a fanatic What's wrong with being a fanatic? OriOko88: |
Trust me he would rather a religion that God says we should fight those who fight us or continue to break their agreement and put Muslim lives at risk (which is the kill infidels part between) Than a religion Where your God commanded geno...,,,,cides including killi...,,,ng new born many times in the Bible ![]() Fiscus105: |
Here is a riddle for you: In America, they don't lynch and burn thrives or armed robbers In Nigeria we do, do you suggest we wipe Nigerians off the face of earth for such animalistic behaviour? Antoeni: |
Go and fight your God in Genesis 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.” I love when Christians attack their God and men of God ![]() You are very funny people chiboycue: |
That used to be common claim but amongst reputable theologians, only id........,,,,it's and fo....,,,ols say such That was a just over 1400 years ago. It would only be dishonesty to think otherwise despite mountain of evidence of the Propeht and men who knew him. It is fine to be dishonest. We don't expect any less. chuose: |
And raised high for you your repute - Surah Ash Sharh Vs 8 The most influential man ever lived! May the peace and mercy of Allah be upon him! ***The enemies of Islam resent how a man from a small town in Arabia became so influential on over more than two billion people. This is why Islam is dangerous |
This happens too often and yet the useless government hasn't done a damn thing about it |
Yup ![]() JackDaAlienz: |
Yeah, nice writing. A million years from now, You know, I know, He will still carry the XY chromosomes ![]() So who is fooling who But maybe, just maybe humans will evolve into something stranger. Some might feel like rats. Some might crave bodies unlike their own. And perhaps we will accept it. Perhaps we will treat body dysmorphia not as an illness, but as an evolutionary step. If someone says, Two arms feel wrong, they weigh me down, they make me suicidal then society may one day support their choice to cut one off. And so on. Because that, too, is evolution. If we were once monkeys, what stops us from becoming dogs or mosquito tomorrow? JackDaAlienz: |
I would never understand people that deny the Holocaust. |
How can he be a no nonsense man who won't keep quiet in the face of tyranny but yet worked with a military government? |
Wa Alaikum Salam, I deleted some and for the rest, I don't know what happened. honesttalk21: |
Like you said Nigerians talk and move on, I don't think a lot of people genuinely cares if their partner has been previously been unfaithful. Cheating while married is so casual, so dismissive these days. pocohantas: |
I genuinely believe is one of the worst things a woman can do to her unborn child. Such evidence of cheating is stacked against the woman. pocohantas: |
Statements by Jesus affirming he is a messenger He said it himself and he had a lot of human deficiencies 1. John 17:3 - This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 2. John 5:30 – By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of Him who sent me. 3. John 8:28–29 - I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him. 4. John 12:49 – For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. 5. Matthew 10:40 – Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 6. Mark 13:32 – But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 7. Luke 2:52 – And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. 8. John 5:30 – By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear 9. Luke 24:49 – I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay… until you have been clothed with power from on high. Didn't I say the gospels are unreliable, no one should bother with anonymous texts sef |
John 17:21–22: "that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in me and I am in You, that they also may be in us." So according to this, are you also God? Maybe I am God too if we take that verse literally. Clearly, what Jesus meant was sameness in purpose, not sameness in being. Besides, there are much clearer statements where he openly says he isn’t God. Why cling so tightly to an ambiguous interpretation that directly contradicts the clearer ones? That is the height of insanity. Other prophets didn’t need to keep repeating "I am not God." Their words were allegedly written themselves. But Christianity is unique in that its books were written about the prophet, not by him but by men who never met him and who already held preconceived opinions about him. Why the Gospel of John is unreliable 1. John was an illiterate John was a fisherman (Acts 4:13 calls Peter and John “uneducated and untrained”). He could not have authored a text in advanced Greek. Someone of that education and that time years later would have also had well known disciples to spread the message . There is none. 2. Late and longest authorship The Gospel of John was the last to be written (c. 90–100 CE). According to theologians and scholars, Its later date and textual analysis shows it reflects theological development rather than original teachings. Funny enough, it was the only gospel that strongly attributed divinity to Jesus which again is evidence of later philosophical and theological thoughts. Also, it was the longest gospel which further proves our theory of later theological development. 3. Anonymous work The author never identifies himself. “John” was attributed much later by Church tradition, not by the text itself. Not a single story of how the gospel came to be? It was like lost but found. DoctorStanley: |
It is common sense to interpret ambiguous statements in light of clear ones; not the other way around. What Paul and Trinitarian Christians do instead is the reverse; they bend the clear words of Jesus to fit a handful of ambiguous statements. That is nothing but the devil’s whisper. Jesus was extremely clear, he is not God, but a messenger of God. Yet you set aside these plain statements and cling to verses that are vague, open to multiple meanings, or even reported by others while Jesus himself remained silent. They elevate these unclear texts to cancel out what is clear. For example: Clear statement – John 17:3: “This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Here, Jesus openly distinguishes himself from God. Ambiguous statement – John 10:30: “I and the Father are one.” Christians take this to mean equality in divinity, while the context shows Jesus was speaking of unity in purpose, not essence (as proven in John 17:21, where he prays that his disciples "may be one, as we are one" .And yet, these ambiguous statements became the very foundation of your faith; a foundation that required centuries of wrangling and nearly 300 years to finally coin the term "Trinity". The clear words of Jesus were ignored, while the vague and unclear became the cornerstone. I also remember he said he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel. So what re you hung up on him? DoctorStanley: |
Muhammad’s message is consistent with the central message of all prophets: God is one, not triune. Jesus never preached a trinity either. There is nothing in the doctrine you follow today that reflects the message Jesus actually brought. He did not write the gospels, and none of his disciples were involved in writing them. When speaking directly, Jesus advised people to follow the Pharisees and was clear that he did not come to abolish the law. And if, according to you, Jesus is God, then explain this: how does “turning the other cheek” align with the four genocides in the Old Testament? Should we also “turn the other cheek” in the face of murder, rape, injustice? Lmao! DoctorStanley: |
Yes and the minds of others as well. You are right. I am wrong. obinna58: |
I am very honest with myself and I am very aware of my experience as well. If this conversation came up years back, I would have been a skeptic but not anymore. Again, religions now and before, across all cultures, languages, colour agree on that one thing that there are unseen spirits. obinna58: |
The attacks on Islam it is Christians If it is not Christians It is pagans If it is not pagans It is atheists If it is not atheists It is Hindis If it is not Hindis It is Persians If it is not Persians It is ExMuslims If it is not ExMuslims It is Jews Only one religion and its plenty obsessed fans across the world. We love you too |
Emotional because I dare question your audacity given that your version of God is a God that regretted, rested, wrestled, was scared, tempted ![]() Yes I am emotional. And again with the question about name even AI is wiser than you lots. Se e wa okay at all bayi? What is this obsession over nothing? |
Exactly, my point isn't for you to agree. I stated my experience and you have stated yours. Kobojunkie: |
You definitely want the drama. I am very aware of the scam aspect of it. That si like the majority of it. I didn't grow up with them next to me. I have an interesting family. Again, this isn't new information. Kobojunkie: |
Of course. Limited experience, limited understanding 🤗🤗🤗 Kobojunkie: |
Of course, you want something dramatic to wow you. Sorry to disappoint you. It isn't always like that. Yes, you grew up with them doesn't mean anything either. Again, venture out and do the leg work. Kobojunkie: |
Oh sure you are. 100% Your understanding and experiences are limited. So curious but still afraid to venture out? ![]() Kobojunkie: |
I remembered staying and restating that possession is not necessarily the way we see it. You might be possessed and not know it. It isn't always psychotic episode, disability, barrenenesa etc. It can even be positive and/or unharmful. You grew up next to Babalawo tells me nothing about your research into the unseen. Kobojunkie: |
And that is fair. The question is if can indeed be proven scientifically or not? Kobojunkie: |
can you imagine?
