NOETHNICITY:
Yea, the word Christian was 1st used by a pagan to describe the followership the disciples were gaining. The question now is, is the nomenclature divine given ow it came about?

Yes,it was used by pagans to describe the followers of Jesus.They said they had been with Jesus and acted like Jesus.The question is,is the term a negative or positive one?

There was nothing wrong with what the pharmacist did.If there is no particular drug,the pharmacist can give alternatives.It's what they are trained to do.
The problem was not taking history and the victim here not volunteering such information.

You said he's leaving by next weekend,can we still stop him.
You can find out what his plans are,what he wants to do there and for how long he wants to stay.
It doesn't seem he's making a rational decision anyway.

Was that included in th 5th or 10th revised edition?

No need arguing further.

Stop displaying your ignorance.Did you find it there or not?

What does it say?

Nowhere in the entire bible is the word Christian or Christianity mentioned. Jesus (PBUH) didn't practice Christianity except worshiping of the only true God (Allah).
Not only that Islam was mentioned in the Qur'an, it was chosen for Muslims by Allah Himself. And it's clearly stated it's s the only religion with Allah.

'...the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch'.(Acts 11:26) Learn to read!If you don't have a bible there use Google.com,haba!

Allah may give you islam as you say but the God Who sent Jesus chose and gave Christ(not as a religion but as Truth and His way.

intergral:
it seems you have lesser knowledge than I thought.... So it will be worthless giving you my remaining 9 points.... I expected you to argue about the the mode of praying.....


Like i said, If you have the same level of knowledge of the Quran that i have of the Bible you would have long been a Muslim.... Islam did not only pass the test of truth and authenticity.... It also passed the test of science! Try that with the bible ie comparing the versions you have today with unadulterated Hebrew, koine greek or araimic Bible you will hate the people who forned Christianity..... because there is no such words as Christian in the bible....
.
.
.
. Though i don't know you but As from today will keep on praying for you to see the light before its too late....

You're not making sense like many of you don't.Your points are worthless anyway.

@bolded,Acts 11:26 says,'...and the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch'.Mr i-know-the-bible,can't you see it is there in the bible?I know many of you are ignorant and lacking knowledge but just talk much.

PassingShot:
Only if you could even show EeeeEdme in the bible where the word Christian or Christianity is mentioned.

Acts 11:26.I already posted that.

msbbash:
let me tell u dis !!
Anybody Who claim to be a muslim, but does not accept Jesus as lord is not à muslim # fact

Do you know what it means to be Lord?

intergral:
..... It seems i know the Bible more than you a Christian..... I challenge you to try knowing the Quran and islam and see you did not convert immediately.... If following Jesus is what makes you a Christian, then the Muslim a more Christian than the Christians themselves.... Take a look at the portrait of Jesus and take a look at that man and yaself and tell me who looks more like Jesus?...


Let me start with the first thing that will prove my point..... Im quoting from the Bible since this is what you believe in..... Matthew 26:36-39 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gesthemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be very sorrowful and heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, my soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou Wilt.

So did Jesus worship with music and ranting or did he worship like the Muslim?..... If you absorb my first point, then i will give you more prove......

Portrait of Jesus?Do you see me discuss portrait of Jesus?Who ever told you that is Jesus' picture?
Do you think I'm a baby Christian?If I read the quran,I will convert?Nah,I have had fellowship with the Father and have known the path of life.There were some who left Jesus as He preached.Jesus asked His disciples who were with Him if they will also go.One of them Peter said,'..to whom shall we go,Thou has the words of eternal life. (Matt 26:30) Even Muhammed confessed he didn't know his end.

'And having sung a hymn they went out to the mount of Olives(Matt 6:68).Jesus and the disciples sang hymns.Stop being ignorant about music.The bible tells us exclusively that they sing in heaven(Check book of Revelations)

Yes you are more Christian than me if it makes you feel good.

It's when they start denying it that it gets funny. I know someone whom that is what his clique members/awon boys do. 3 have been successful so far. And it always plays out in the same way.

Guy: "where do you stay?"
Babe: "Ikoyi, around Bourdillon, with my dad/Banana Island with my mum/Nicon town in the family house"

Gbam! He will call you back that night, no collecting your number and disappearing, no mago mago. Expect a 2nd date soon. The next day most likely.

Guy: "where do I drop you off"
Babe: "I live in Lekki 1"
Guy (soft smile): "really, I've got some friends there. Where?"
Babe: "Fola Osibo, in a self-contained BQ"

He will follow you home, bring his condom, but leave any thought of an engagement ring behind and spend the next 8 months "wondering" if you are The One (to your chagrin).

Guy: "where do I direct the taxi to take you to?"
Babe: "Festac/Iyana Ipaja/Egbeda/Fadeyi"
Guy: "wow, that's really far o"

Translation: "wow, that's really far, your father better be the owner of Chisco or Young Shall Grow or be a Customs controller of a Port somewhere because I ain't driving that far for nurring. Geh, ah don't do bridges"

If na lie I talk, make I fall for gutter

Many men are becoming lazier and the frustrations of the economy and joblessness isn't helping matters.The average guy now looks at the job she has and background in terms of family affluence before hitching.There are some who have made themselves diamond diggers.
Times have changed.

EfemenaXY and Damiso are looking at private schools from the UK position.I believe children in public schools with parental inputs/private tutors will do well there.Private schools' fees will cost about N1m when converted to Naira.However in Naija,you don't have a choice but put your kids in private schools.
However,N1m per annum is high end.

What is the gospel of Jesus as according to jesus?

Nb: I'm not asking of the gospel of John, mark and so on.

Let me let you go first.What is the gospel of Jesus?I'm not asking you what the quran says!

Sirmuel1:
you have christ? Have you met him? You have eternal life? What does that mean?

If you believe and receive,He will make Himself known to you.

'Eternal life' is the life in God just as we have human life,animal life and plant life.Everyone who receives Jesus has the life Jesus brought from God.

PassingShot:
Islam is the only religion with Allah.

Islam is the only religion with Allah and Muhammed his only prophet.
The One Who sent Jesus has the gospel as His Truth and the only way of salvation.Romans 1:16,'......not ashamed of the gospel,for it is the power of God unto salvation'.

Rilwon:
And who told you that Islam don't recognize Jesus?

Islam doesn not accept the gospel.Recognising and accepting are two different things.

Sirmuel1:
What if the Jesus is not real? What if Islam is the true religion? What would you do?

I do not have a religion.I have Christ and fellowship with the Father.I have eternal life.
No religion has and gives eternal life.Islam does not have it.

abdulskulboy:
story,

Story of the quran?

bapullow:
Islam accept Jesus, respect, and follow Jesus (peace be upon him) in fact according teaching of prophet u can't just called Jesus without adding peace be upon him when u do that u are not good muslim and even Jesus pbuh preach noting but Islam

Islam does not accept the Christ and the gospel.It's a deception saying Islam accepts Jesus but rejects the gospel.Don't be deceived.

Jesus Himself is the Prince of peace,it's wasteful and useless saying 'peace be upon him'.Moreover,the quoran testifies that Jesus is in heaven.Anyone in heaven does not need peace to be upon him.They are in peace already.

Kingbusssy:
Can you please show the word ''Christianity" in Bible
Also the word ''Bible'' in Bible

Acts 11:26- '....and they were first called Christians in Antioch.(I hope you won't ask me the difference between Christians and Christianity).

Bible is from the Greek word Biblio which means 'book'.Is the bible a book?

FOURTH PILLAR OF ISLAM

Makkah and Hajj in the Bible

Psalm 84 1-6
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar,
O Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you. Selah
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on "pilgrimage."
As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

Let See What we have here.
Place is a Valley, in this Valley there is a blessed Well
To this Valley pilgrims make their journey and there is a Sacred House of Worship in this Valley of Baka, this Place of worship where the sacred house is at there are COURT YARDS, There are alters
and Sparows and Swallows Lodge at this location and bare their young.

There is no place in Palestine that fits this description the only place that fits this description is BACA which all the Muslims know

"The most important shrine established for the people is the one in Baca; a blessed beacon for all the people. In it are clear signs: the station of Abraham. Anyone who enters it shall be granted safe passage. The people owe it to GOD that they shall observe Hajj (Pilgrimage) to this shrine, when they can afford it. As for those who disbelieve, GOD does not need anyone." [3:96-97]

What Is Baca?
Baca (in Psalms) and Baca (in Quran) is another name for Mecca (Makkah, Saudi Arabia) where the first house of worship on earth which was built by Abraham and his first son Ishmael and it was appointed by God for human beings. This house is the Holy Kabah to which all Muslims face while praying and go for Hajj (pilgrimage).

Hajj (Pilgrimage):
Hajj!! There is no hajj in the Bible. someone might say. Let's see what were the Biblical prophets were doing ?

[Exodus 10:9] Moses is telling Pharaoh where he is taking the sons of Isreal :
Moses answered, "Everyone! We'll be taking our young and old, our sons and daughters, our flocks and herds with us. For us it's "a pilgrimage festival" in the LORD's honor."

According to BDB Theological Dictionary the most fundamental meaning of hagag which the name Haggai is derived from is to make a pilgrimage or keep a pilgrimage feast. The Arabic equivalent means "to betake oneself to or towards an object of reverence," and this verb returns in the prescribed pilgrimage to Mecca: the Hadj.
[www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Haggai.html]
Marwah mountain:
Genesis 22:2 "He said, Take now your son, your only son, whome you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah (Marwah), and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you."

Marwah and Safa are two elevated places in Mecca where Hajar was going forth and back looking for water as the water they had finished and she was worried about the baby Ishmael from Dying due to lack of water. During and after few trips looking for water or people, Angel Gabriel hit a rock and a sprig of water flowed and then she was able to drink and to water her baby.

"Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah . So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing." Quran 2:158
The bible scholar are not sure where is this mountain located in the holy land and they are making assumptions. [http://bibleatlas.org/mount_moriah.htm] sometimes they say it is in Jerusalem while there was not even Jerusalem at all this time sometimes they say it is in the south and so on.

The Maqam (Place) of Abraham:
Genesis 22:9
"When they arrived at the place (lit. Maqam) where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar ...."

Now where is that Altar in Jerusalem ?? why they did not keep it as a Holy place this place exist only in Makkah
"In it (Baca) are clear signs [such as] the (Maqam) standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe. And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House " (Quran 3:97)

Pilgrimage to Mecca in Isaiah 60:1-7

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
“Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip.
Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come.
Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.
All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple.

In [Isaiah 60:1] A prophecy about a Holy man (prophet) bringing the light of God to the world. This holy man would appear in a time of darkness filling the world and covering the earth, He would appear to eliminate the darkness and spread the light of God and his praises.
In [Isaiah 60:3] we read “And the Nations shall come to thy light “ and that means this Holy Prophet would arise among the nations and his Light would fill his place where the nations would come and visit.

In [Isaiah 60:4] we find the people would come from far, the sons and daughters, all would come together for the Light.

[Isaiah 60:5-6] it keeps telling us about the coming of the people from all over the world to the Light.

[Isaiah 60:7] is the clear meaning, it’s Kedar, Where its flocks and tribes would be gathered together under the light of God, “they would come up with acceptance on mine altar”. Muslims during the Hajj “pilgrimage” they slaughter the sacrifices as one of the ceremonies and Muslims all over the world share that from their places which is Eid Al Adha.

“And I Will glorify the house of my glory”
and it refers to the Ka’ba in Mecca, the Sacred House for God’s glory.

And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage: they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path" [Quran 22:27]

The Way of Holiness [Isaiah 35:8]
"And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it."
"O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred House) after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Wise." (Quran 9:28)

The Azan (call of prayer):
Isaiah 40:3 and Mark 1:3
"A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God."

The Arabian Peninsula was a deserted place. The "voice calling in the desert" here is clearly refering to the Azan.
Why Azan?
The whole verse reads "Make a path a highway for God"
The Azan (call of prayers) for Muslims is a call which tells Muslim that God is calling him. It is heard all around the world and five times a day. Moreover, hadith refer Azan as a way to Allah and to a submission to God.

Quoting many bible verses out of context is of no use here.The bible calls it,' ever learning but not able to come to the truth'.The message of Jesus was the gospel and the gospel means redemption through Jesus Who thje Father sent.John 3:16 says,'for God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life'.You have quoted many bible verses,add this one to it.Don't be a hypocrite.Tell people in your mosque about John 3:16 too.

'And this is life eternal,that they may know Thee,the Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom Thou has sent'.(John 17:3)

Who are you to determine if bishop oyedepo won't be there on the judgement day before God , or do you think being a general overseer is an automatic ticket to heaven?
Righteousness is what takes us to heaven not title.
Bishop my black ass

Did you read and understood my comment before quoting me?Does my comment say he won't be there?

When you stand before God on judgement day,Bishop Oyedepo won't stand with you or him with you on that day.
Everyone who doesn't accept Jesus as Lord will not be on the side where Jesus is on that day.

'Everyone who has heard the Father and learned of Him comes to Me(Jesus)'..- John 6:45

Onegai:
But of course! Do you know how many people that their parents tell them "don't bring home a nonetity"? Or those that teach their daughters from childhood who is an acceptable boyfriend or not. They are so plenty. Those trophy wives will screen their kids' friends down to the last. Even amongst big guys, if they are your mentor they will help you select a bride that will place your feet higher. I heard a tale of some popular Businessman who had a PA he liked. When one of his billionaire friends brought his daughter home, he pushed his PA at her. The PA refused and said "I have a gf of about 3 years, you know her, blah blah". His boss replied him "there are a million pretty girls like that once you make your fortune, but your wife is an investment into your future". And that was that. It is soooo common that it is funnier to see people denying doing it than the actual deed.

So the guy dumped his old girlfriend?
I guess in that upper echelon,love is not as important as the money and connections.No wonder there's a lot of 'away' matches going on there from both sides.

Onegai:
Do you know i was about to mention Abiola? Maryam herself is originally from Asaba. You won't see core Northerners like Indimi and Dantata wedding outside their tribes and social group. Like you won't hear an Okoya marrying one of the old Northern families. It's the same across different tribes: the older the money, the more they would rather their daughter/son get someone they know (and I'm speaking from experience). Even in old Yoruba families, though they are not as rigid (but they will show the outsider pepper sha). Even one Ijaw guy that was in an ivy league, one Senator from old money from his side insisted on giving him a huge scholarship and visiting him a lot in school and eventually started bringing his daughter along. His father was totally complicit in the matter.

They groom themselves to marry from their social circle.

I agree with the old money.Those ones can't even hear that you're picking someone from outside.They literarily hook themselves up.I doubt if their daughters are happy when they marry but they don't seem to have much of a choice.
For people like Babangida who acquired the money while in the army and politicians/businessmen,they might be a bit flexible.

Maternity shoot is what is trending now.

Onegai:
Meanwhile, for all those who like to complain about shabbily-dressed Nannies, relax. At the Graduation Ceremony, most of the Nannies wore uniforms so you certainly knew whom they were.

And enough trophy wives! Mehnnn! I saw one and was like "surely she's not someone's Mummy". Then they called her child and she went forward, with her elderly husband. Himself started laughing when I smiled approvingly at them

The trophy wives who are probably going to groom their daughters to aspire for the 'prize' too.That man must have looked at you like,'you got it'.

Onegai:
Tearoses, what you've said is absolutely spot-on. It depends also on the parent. At that Graduation Ceremony, the best student (a girl) also won several prizes for subjects. Parents rushed to congratulate her parents and asked for the contact info of their lesson teacher(s), So they could hire them for their own kids and see results. They were all surprised to find out that the girl had no lesson teachers. Those parents were still looking to outsource their roles as parents, thinking that throwing a bucket of money at the problem for results, rather than their presence.

As per the Otedola girls not working, I'm not shocked at it. Okoya's daughter got married and everyone congratulated the dude wedding her and were surprised to find out she was jobhunting. No-one would really hire her either because she's an Okoya (and Daddy may have pissed them off in the past) or, she was NOT expected to work in Corporate. Rarely do I see the daughters of wealthy people working in the Corporate world after Marriage. They are expected to be Gracious Chateleines to their husbands and run the home and his social calendar, not be CEOs. It's actually uncommon. They can afford to be socialites and be SaHMs so no-one expects them to be hustling a 9-5 that is demanding. Even the one i knew who has an MBa, her Dad bypassed her to pick his son who's younger than her and doesn't have that qualification to run the company. Zahra Buhari is going to run a charity one day, not an oil company. And they will be expected to marry well, and help Daddy forge alliances with the right family. Which is why, no matter how devout or comfy a Yoruba Muslim is, he cannot aspire to wed a Hausa-Fulani girl from a wealthy home. She's been promised to someone else.

@bolded,Kola Abiola wanted to marry Babangida's daughter.I learnt it was Maryam who kicked against it because she didn't want her to be second wife but their relationship was that deep.

Onegai:
Hi Tearoses, thorpido, ifyalways. I had one funny gist to give o but I thought I'd shut it. Meanwhile, I attended the Graduation Ceremony for a Nursery and Primary school and, let me put this way to describe the type of ceremony: the schoolfees for the Nursery school is N1mil per annum, per child and that is an affordable school o.

Jokes aside, it made me think of how much social circle influence things. Whether we like it or not, there are certain places not accessible to an average person. Those kids in that school are not going to be running around looking for a job one day. They will be on the board of directors for companies and you will never hear of them (though enough of them today had the right lastnames, all the ones that open doors in Nigeria). They will be the people sitting round the table with Wale Tinubu and Dangote, allowing those ones to take the glory whilst quietly putting away a fortune. And they help themselves and marry themselves. Like my friend said "there are 5 lanes in Nigeria, you can cross from lakes 4-5 easier, lane 3 is a little harder, but lane 1 and 2 can only dream and imagine things".

Btw, that N1mil for Nursery schoolfees, people actually told me it was affordable. When your kid attends a school where the entrance fee (not regular schoolfees) is N4mil

Affordable?Hmmmm.
To think some parents even have 2 or 3kids in the same school.
Sure those kids are not going to be job hunting.They are going to be board members of their father's or mother's companies or have a consultancy business.They will roll in their circles and marry themselves.
Nursery/primary is very important in a child's foundation and if one can afford it,it's not a waste to spend that money but N1m per annum is

Some people actually give birth this way.

They do that a lot.Lagos state government officials should start arresting them.
