why strip any one naked? islam forbids such extreme, including beating of the 'honored' face, or victimizing anybody.

why are muslims forgetting so quickly when they get emotional?

destruction of property is forbidden, just as well.

As sSalaamuaaykum, wa Rahmatullah [ikhwata iman wa Ukkta iman], let stop going after each other's throat, because of what divide us.

Lets concentrate on what unite us which are many; our Rabb, our deen, our kitab, our nabiyUlah karim [as], our qibla, etc, our destiny [jannah] and even greater than that; the Gazing to the Face of AlRahman, not what the hypocrites will have for the shortest time possible, but for what the mumin, mumina will have which is much much longer Gaze.

it is noble gesture if you allow a person to have the last word, even when it is clear to you that you are in the right.


please lets stop this unnecessary discuss. unity will make us strong, while division will make us easy picking for our enemy who has a singular agenda; the disunity of the muslims.

i ask the AlWadud to put love of one another in our hearts. Amin.

if the pagan yorubas didnt worship Olodumare through the many lesser gods, was there a group among the pre Christian pre Islam yorubas who worshiped Eledumare/Olodumare? what were they known as when the people who worhip orisha for example are known as olorisha, the sango worshipers as onisango?

by the way the music of lemmon dozier above spoke about the journey of the questioners in the song going about to gods who could not know the older between land 'aiye' and sea 'odo' because they were not the Creator. it was when they got the opportunity to ask Eledumare 'ope ni fun Eledumare [they said], that they knew the answer that it was odo. even the yorubas know that the land rose from under the water.

^^^^^^ Leave pastorAIO alone. he is herding his flocks into abyss; Jahanam by his arrogance.

Alhamdulillah, we are muslims and some of us are yorubas. And maybe among us persons older by a decade or so than he is.

Does he know about yoruba than all of us put together? I say not quite.

Before his conception there were yoruba muslims who say Olorun o, or Eledumare o, or Olodumare o. They actually meant Allah.


There were christians who say the same meaning the father entity of the christian trinity.
Ebenezer Obey said iba feledumare o . . . anbe ee o . . . and he was talking about the father in his trinity alone.


Before pastor's time, i think American singer Lemmon Dozier in colaboration with Dr. Osunfison of UI theater art department had a song titled "Eru o bo do', with lyric where Eledumare was mentioned, asking Him about the age of Odo "river' versus man.

Dr. Osunfison must know more yoruba than pastor.


Did Ibrahim called Allah YHWH when he and his son Ismail were building Kaaba? Did they associate 3 daughters with Him? Did Muhammad [as] had to rework or return people's mind to the purity which was at the beginning?

Lets go back further, Did Adam call his Creator 'I am that I am" or YHWH or by a real Name that is definitely Personal; Allah?
It is believed that Adam lived in Makka, prostrated his face at the sight of the Kaaba, in offering sincere repentance, which was accepted. Even the Bible [new or old testament] never said he arrived in Jerusalem once. Was the first builder of the Kabba, being Adam say that his Creator is associated with three daughters, as the arab pagans and pastorAIO believed? These are facts, not the type of guess work of the 'eminent' pastor.

@Joagbaje; Mark 13 is a very interesting read. It actually shows how impossible Jesus could have been so hungry enough to be so unaware by it to the point that he curse a fig tree that did not fruit out of season. Jesus said that the summer is the fruiting season of fig, read it yourself. thats just by the way along with others.

Please tell me this prophesy below in Mark 13, is fulfilled already. otherwise, there is a big problem. read all of Mark 13, before and after this verse below along with it to put it in its context. read it as long as you want.

30 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened

verse 31 says heavens and earth will pass away, but his word will not pass away. Why is the above not fulfilled yet, or has it? If if has, why are the christians waiting for a 'second coming"? Somtinrung here.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the christian jesus to Supreme God Almighty is equivalent in process to the forefather 'idols' to Supreme God Almighty.


Every culture believes there is Supreme God Almighty Who creates.

Every person intuitively, ingrained in this belief. but of course the renegades 'atheist, etc' denies Him, similar to Charles Manson denial of his killing spree as thing unnatural, evil and unacceptable. he even swastika his own forehead bringing out the evil in his heart for future generation to learn from; avoid if you have any good in you, imitate to some degree if you have overwhelming evil in you.

there is nothing called completely unchecked without boundary 'freedom of expression' in the usa. thats the fact.

my proof; i tender the action of the president of the senate, aka vice president [dick cheney of dubya bush administration] by his reaction to what he called 'equal to my mama joke' from senator layhee from vermont.

right there in the senate chamber, for the mic to pick up, he said 'f u' to the surprised senator.

if cheney, the conservative could allow a person to reach a limit, but when the person steps out of that boundary, he turns even worse that danfo conduct, what do we expect of few out of 1.5 billions people from community who will see the 'burning' worse than 'your mama' joke? i, as a muslim do not like the 'burning', but i realize that all muslims may not have my mild reaction; Quran is in the heart. it is recited, actualized as a guide.

@jenwitemi; not all of us can deny that there is a Causer of our existence. you have your way, i have mind. yet others have theirs, different from yours or mine. when you are through with getting rid od islam, christianity, judaism, will you not want to rid 9ja and the world the other religions? your atheist ego has no limit; thats your religion 'ego'! abeg go sidon, or carry go commot.

Thehomer forgets tat the pagan arabs knew Allah, but had 360 idols that they approached Him through before Muhammad [as] revived the tradition of Ibrahim's [as] direct approach of Allah to the arabs.

this is the same with yoruba's Olodumare. in reality, the yoruba's knew Him as the Single Sole God before christianity and islam. but because they lost the purity of monotheistic worship, they erected lesser gods to lead them, just as the golen calf was erected. but lesser gods are useless to themselves and those who erect them.

this is the issue.

The fact of the matter is that a thorough job was done of eradicating whatever traces of pre-islamic religion were left after Islam rose. Why was that the case? Was it paranoia? Was it because the history would betray the fact the Islam is but a derivation of previous Arabic religion? Would many of the verses in the Koran be found to have existed in the religious literature of the Arabs before Islam? This is my turn to speculate but it is my belief that the truth will soon out. There is nothing hidden that will not be exposed. One day one day.[/Quote]It is a good thing that you are speculating [conjecture], similar to what the jews says about killing and crucifying Jesus {Allah records it as such in Surah Nisaa}. In some jewish literature [mishna], they said they stoned jesus. Which one is it; crucify on the tree or stone to dead?

Pastor, just like a yoruba muslim will say Olodumare oo, and he meant Allah. A christian will say Olodumare oo, he probably [not so sure because of 3 in 1 or 1 in 3 of trinity]. So does the odu ifa man [this fits you since you lean heavily towards ifa. thats by the way] will say Olodumare oo, and he meant what he meant. But for sure the ifa man does not mean Allah or one in the trinity concept, do we say that Olodumare of each is not in existence before the yoruba nation itself came to existence? If the yoruba Muslim says Olodumare is Allah, being the Creator, we know for sure that this Olodumare existed before he brought creation to being, which He has continued to manage and He will be the Judge of the day of judgment.

By the above, can we say that Yoruba Muslims stole Olodumare of the pagan yorubas, because the pagan also say Olodumare? This is what you are saying about Quran and pre Muhammad's Islam, while before paganism in Makka or the entire arabia, Adam built the Kaaba, and Ibrahim [as], helped by his son Ismail [as] rebuilt it after the flood of Prophet Nuh [as].

Monotheism was in Makka before polytheism came to it, unless you can proof that Adam was a polytheist or never came to Makka. Or after the flood Ibrahim and Ismail never came to Makka, while Zam Zam water will act as a proof against you. I leave Kaaba out of it, which is additional witness against your thoughts above; I know you are only making propositions. Please show me Surah Fatiha, or Baqarah or any Surah of the Quran in any pre Islam of Muhammad among what the arabs had, except eloquence of oral tradition, which what is in Quran supersedes.



[Quote]But back to my point. There is no record that Allah was approached through 360 dieties. Are you sure he was not just one of the 360?[/Quote]Read Surah Najm [star] with the pagans use of uzza, etc as medium to reach Allah the Invisible.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks, Martians. {sknaht?}.

This is human race discussion board. Go find a martian group discussion board to argue on.

I do not speak, read or write "Martian". I dont know how I can explain to you in your martian language.

On earth, humans buttress their view points with related materials. Thats what i did. I know that is strange process to "Martian" specie and those among humans who think like martians.

how is ondo_boi sure about what he said?

he saw the op or he is just making it up about 'smoked bean'?

@kunleoshob; i'm happy that you find faults with some christian beliefs, about Angel and Devil, then Trinity.

The above aside, there isn't a time that it is possible that i separate myself away from Islam. it is not just a religion, but  the way of worship and  way of constitution for cradle to grave guidance. i do not know of any single fault in this religion of mine. so show us one clear fault from the many faults you have of Islam, if you are sincere.

my question to you in the previous post, above is about 'forgiveness' which the christians taut so much about Jesus. that was also the question in the oped. you seem to ignore it, thinking it will go away, instead brought about the misspelling 'ARK' instead of Arch.

abeg answer the question, instead of playing english professor since you responded to the op first among the pool of christians here.

what will do to explain the 'forgiveness' or lack of it?

Thehomer forgets tat the pagan arabs knew Allah, but had 360 idols that they approached Him through before Muhammad [as] revived the tradition of Ibrahim's [as] direct approach of Allah to the arabs.

before then, after the children of israel left egypt, the created a god [golden calf] which the were approaching Yahweh by,because Moses [as] stayed too long during the time he received the 10 commandments.

were the children of israel ignorant of the fact that Yahweh Who their fore bearers [Abraham [notice that i had called him Ibrahim [as] with Muhammad's [as] story of revival, above. same man, different names to different people. same God, different Names to different people [isaac, jacob, joseph [all prophets [as] according to muslims, definitely monotheists according to the children of israel, unless you can show us which lesser god each worshiped considering that Abraham destroyed idols of his people in Ur], is the Sole God without any lesser god?

this is the same with yoruba's Olodumare. in reality, the yoruba's knew Him as the Single Sole God before christianity and islam. but because they lost the purity of monotheistic worship, they erected lesser gods to lead them, just as the golen calf was erected. but lesser gods are useless to themselves and those who erect them.

this is the issue.

@Kunleoshob; he meant arch angel.

the christian says lucifer, was the arch angel, who rebelled against god/jesus [according to trinity].

by this rebellious act, arch angel, is no good anymore, but became the devil.

the same devil who tempted/took god/jesus [into gruesome trials].

the op is saying if jesus is so loving why getting killed for low level sins committed by man, but the single big time sin of his former arch angel he has done nothing about it?

what kind of low grade kindness is that?

help the hardcore so that the lukewarm criminals can see you as truly the voluntary lamb. otherwise, it is a fiction.



We know that Allah in the Quran says He will punish Satan, and those who follow satan's footsteps.

personal responsibility is expressed in the Quran.


if the bible of the christians differs from what torah and quran say about personal responsibility ans connection to God, then jesus should it by

forgiving satan, and even forgiving Adam and Eve, hence the original sin stigma on mankind.

i'm sure if he actually get killed to save the likes of hitler, mussollini, etc and even ariel sharon then it may begin to make sense. anything else is unacceptable. maybe you commission a new version of the bible to address this.

I do not judge my yorubaness by PastorAIO's knowledge of Yoruba life.

For all I know, I may have spent many years than him as a yoruba man.

There are some things that we will see differently from our own lenses.

I see Olodumare {Eldedumare} as Yoruba word for Allah of Islam.

You see all kind of gods under your Olodumare. I am not using your yardstick for my Olodumare. I'm Muslim. You are not. My Lord is known. You deny that there is none.

Huh That says a lot[/Quote]Which one is proper yoruba, if it will say a lot; yoruba spoken by yorubas in SW or the yoruba spoken by "yorubas" in Bahia, Brasil [Brazil]? It says a lot just like Hell fire is Jahanam to Hell fire is lake of fire. One is telling the truth. It is not possible that both are lying or telling the truth. A Creator is possible. Creators of the same world, still One Creator is not possible. More than One can't be One.

You may be unaware because you have limited knowledge. You may deny the obvious because you are suppressing your natural instinct. The One Who made you to exist has put in you, a nature that He created for you, that makes it possible for you to know that you have a natural understanding that A Powerful Source is in control of the order of things, you a human being included.

After all, when calamity strikes we know that we are helpless, needing help, support, relief. The One Who sends help, support, what is needed, support, is the Owner of each of them. He is the Creator.

I wonder if the "sight" of Deep Sight can reach up to 100 miles where he is standing? Such a limited Sight, considering that 100 Miles is nothing to the vastness of the world we live in, a small portion of the solar system we belong, which is a small portion of what science knows, already. Yet the possibilities are endless. Knowledge about things may just be at the infancy level.

Have a deeper sight, deep sight. Just because you dont know does not mean it is not in existence.

Science just discovered that ants talk to one another, a known fact for over 1400 years now among the Muslims. Read the Chapter known as The Ants. The set your sight on true research to TRUTH.

@thehomer; what Name in yoruba language will 2 muslims talking to each other, in Iseyin for example, without saying Allah will they refer to God Almighty The Creator, Singularly Unique in all of His Nature?

Could they say Olodumare and be correct, each knowing that this meant Allah Who they Worship? Or in your view they will be wrong, even though generations of muslims in yoruba language have called Allah Olodumare, or Olorun, Eleda, Oluwa, etc, without any fear that they may be wrong, until you now that they are wrong?

You suggestion here is similar to a jew saying Yahweh is One, while christian says 3 persons. Who is correct, the jew or the christian. I say my Ilah, Allah the Almighty is Olodumare in the language that I often dream in. You are neither in my body nor are you a muslim. How do you know that a muslim yoruba who says Olodumare does not mean Allah in Arabic?

Is a Christian Oluwasegun, and a Muslim Oluwasegun named in the Honor of the same Deity?

since you guys are on the topic of Joseph in Egypt, and the hardship of the Children of Israel there [not called jews at that time, if you care to know], which in the long run led to the rise of Moses and the final exit of his people with him; are you guys saying that after the death of Joseph, his people fell victims to [new] pharaoh, immediately, without any reason? This is a two part question needing answer[s]; how long after Joseph before the hardship fell on the israelites and what is the reason that they fell from grace?

I am a muslim and I will like to ask if there is any prophesy that was unfulfilled in the Bible? I will concentrate on the New Testament, because since you guys are christians, you may argue that the failure of OT is the very reason NT was revealed. Tell the world, if you know when Jesus returned to his disciple because he said he will comeback for them while they were still [if not but some] alive. Is there a disciple not dead yet, or did Jesus returned for them, already as he PROPHESIED?

A sango worshiper will appreciate you saying 'ogun' is in the same category ith his god. he does not believe in ogun the reason he worships sango.

it will be hard press for each to say there is a bigger God, while they worship the lesser one. it will simply show that they are unjust to their own conscience.

either way, onifa, aboo esu, etc each does not regard the others to be God. it is when you actually probe them that these gods are their own hand work that they say each is an intermediary.

But Olodumare is acknowledge in time of distress when their gods are useless to them.

similar to you putting christian through heavy drill, you may hear God and it is not jesus that is meant.

@Pukkah:
Thanks for the above comment. You spoke my mind.

@Sweetnecta:
So we meet again, sir! Please respect the fact that this thread is about EIGHT different religions, so please do not derail it with references to Islam in a manner that demeans any of the other religions.

Does this mean there are no Yoruba worshippers on Nairaland? Apparently, no other contributions yet.

Okay now let's look at the Orishas and how they relate to the problem and the solution man seeks when he follows this religion.[/Quote]while i ignore tonye-t the joker, Allah says in Surah Hujurat verse16; Say to them [oh muhammad [as]], what! will you wish to teach your religion [which is not Islam] to Allah, who knows what are in heavens and on earth [everywhere]? Allah is aware [knows] of everything.
I do not participate in religion or religions that import[s] patron[s] along with God.

put them [all of them you can think of] in the place of shango, you have your answer right there.

the one fairy [tall tale] that God does not exist, is real.

thanks.

but i am more interested in what he preached than what somebody else wrote about him.

his life history is equal to the sirah of the messenger [as]. every messenger [as] has a sirah; see the book titled; the story of the prophets.

but what jesus was sent with which he finished is what i am interested in.

moses was sent with torah. david was sent with sabur. jesus was sent with injil. muhammad was sent with Quran.


each preached what he came with to his community, the audience.

when you find that of jesus, i bet it will be different from the NT, because he will not say that he will visit many times, including the visit with peter.

it is very difficult to discard the 'visited' as you wrote and just say he is coming, when he actually said the coming will be in the time of his disciples.

what is also strange in your statement is that you forget that earth quake was reported in the bible when the women were visiting his cave/grave some 2000 years ago. the issue that confound somebody like me is the constant negation of statements, time again in the bible; example: if jesus is God why is Father God alone that knows the time, while jesus doesnt?

why pray to God when he is what you call God? maybe we should think about these things, instead.

thanks for your efforts.

do you know of a lesser godt that yoruba who call their God Olodumare associates with Olodumare?

do you know of a lesser god that muslim associates with Allah?

While we know that Olodumare means Oluwa, Eleda,Ilorun, it is in the same Allah means AlRahman, AlRahim, etc.

sango is no associated with Olodumare. and orisha or ogun, etc is not associated with Olodumare.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you, a scholar of the highest eminence of NL religion section should have simply looked at the title of the thread and you would have seen Allah written as what Olodumare may stand for in yoruba language.

the op even included Deity, God etc.

The Quran says the religion to Allah [in the Sight of Allah] is Islam.

warns further that whosoever choose to come to God on the Day of Judgment with other way but Islam, it will be rejected from such a person.

i can give many more example including the Quran declaring that all prophets sent by God [jesus was a prophet [as]] were muslims, bowing to Allah.

as you know jesus bowed his face. it will be nonsensical to argue that he was bowing to himself.

we also know that he said jesus who You sent God has fulfilled all that You sent him to do.

how many time is he supposed to come?

you claimed in the other thread, yesterday that he came to peter in revelation so much so that you said jesus himself authored revelation.

i was wondering which is true; some people saying jesus already came as in above as the holy ghost since you believe him to be one and the same with holy ghost and even father. yet others are saying he is still coming based on his statement that even his disciples will be alive when he returns.

you know there is no single disciple of jesus for over 1900 years now.

how can we accept that the prophesy was fulfilled and not bogus, already? i ask you rather than upset the guy who is asking about fulfilled biblical prophesies in the other thread.

do you have an answer? some direct reality check for somebody like me?

did the incident in japan makes america and japan have a shorter distance between them, or the time to make a complete earth revolution is shorter and did the chilean earth quake changed the shape of the earth? has the earth in volume reduced while in weight [mass] continues to hold steady? is iron ore not from space sent down to earth?

this is similar to the reality that hell fire [jahanam/Naar] is real.

the devil confuses people making reality like a make belief. even white people who i think you adore so much believe in the existence of the devil. have you heard of satan worshipers [ogaga is a nigerian example. he says it of himself. may God Almighty retrieve him from this label. amin]? satan is the devil because he is evil. you know evil right? the opposite of righteousness.[/quote]

i do belief in there is no compulsion in religion.

i am emulation ibrahim [as] who broke all the smaller idols, then hung the ax on the neck of the biggest one which he left for his folks.
the moral of the action was to call their sense to the fact that what they worship cant help itself. so how can it help them?

two quick examples; in the early days of islam, 2 sons of an idolater converted to islam. they anted to call their father's sense in the fashion of ibrahim [as], above. so they took his idol threw it in the garbage where he can easily see in the morning.
of course, the worship is done in the morning, so when he could not find it at its stand, he found it in the garbage nearby, with the understanding someone must have put it there. angry, vowed to deal with the person[s] if he ever finds out. that night he hung a sword on the idol and ask it to defend itself by avenging and or if it is approached again.

that night, the sons took the idol to the neighborhood dump. saw a carcass of a dead dog. they strapped the idol to this filth; it and the sword hanging on it. in the morning the father wanted to worship the idol. could not find it. search the house, thinking about the previous morning. he couldn't find it still. in his effort to locate this idol, he began to search the neighborhood with the same eagerness that a person whose car is stolen searches for the car even between cars, or under a car.

the search led the idolater somehow to the city dump, because of the garbage episode yesterday [see he can think, but in matters of religion most dont think then]. he found the idol with sword on it, both tied to the carcass of the dead dog.

it is then that his mind opened up with his sense returning to him. he says to the idol, what good are you to me if you cant even defend yourself? this was how the man left idolatry.

what good is a silly statue when the dog wee wee on it, or eats the food set before it? you can yse the iron figurine or the 2 boulders as a rest for your foot if you wish. it cant talk back and if it cant benefit itself, those who worship it are hopelessly hoping there is benefit coming to them from it. when they are dragged off its place, it will be priceless to see how empty their hope is.

very similar to the hindu or buddhist who rings the bell to wake up his god, so that he can worship it. God does not sleep and needs noassistance of anyone or anything. does not cry out for hep. He is capable of all things and not part of the creation, at anytime.

if islam had not entered my nation in my time, i would have believed a path that says God is the Creator and He is One worthy of all worship. if there was a person living such a pattern, i would have imitated him, as long as he did say that he was that Singular All Unique God. no man can be singularly unique in the way God is, since such a man is part of creation, similar to other men and even limited just like other men are.

if it was a choice between christianity and judaism, i will choose judaism. but since i know that jesus and moses worshiped the same way, before islam, i would have followed jesus, using ot and what he says that is similar to ot.


i do not intend to respond to any reply, concerning what i plan to do to bring sensibility to my people. if you let ignorance preserve itself, when do we get to wisdom?

question of love or hate is far beyond the boundary of Nigeria.

Buhari for example chose a Christian as a running mate.

It would not have mattered to me if he chose a Muslim from his own core family. for both of them will not be the same mind, 100% of the time.

I have a lot of non muslims, and even non africans that I call brothers, or sisters.

my love for them is not blind. the condition is that i have developed good relationship with them, that i know that i can call on them more intimately than a total stranger.

yet i do not dislike a person without reason just as well as i have reason for loving a person.

if everyone is a carbon copy of the others, it will be a world that is boring, plain and gives no example and ruler to measure yourself by.

you know that you are getting better when you are avoiding the "known" evil, that others are indulging in.

nigeria will improve, because frankly, it is a young country, merely almost 51 years old, while the like of haiti is almost 220 years old.

nigeria before the civil war was almost the utopia that you are creating in your head. even before the wet ee era.

however, love alone will not make anyone receive mercy from God. you have to recognize Him appropriately, first; worshiping correctly, the essential ingredient that will bring the person to having sincere ability to truly love and not the lip service type, which is more of personal desire instead of it rooted in "for the sake" of God.
