kiu_usm: a what u just said can only stand in the bible if u use trinity as ur bases. But as it is, trinity is not base on the bible since Jesus clearly said that he is a diff person from his father. Peace |

Delafruita: Guy, with so many people past and present turning out to be enemy of Jesus christ one realy need to trade cautiously else u start a case on wrong foundation due to distorted info. U will agree with me that even u while attempting to refute my post deliberately or by omition imputed to me that i said that Jesus disciples were martyrs and as such will not be around to write the bible. This, i never said. Now, can u see how easy it can be for the facts to be distorted, expercially when it has to do with a "Jewish messiah" that even the Jews rejected. Then one wanders who will protect this informations? Definitely not historians that u dont know there bias. Beside this issues that is dragging us outside, i think u and me agree on lots of other things, like things taking place on the name of God that are just too bad, deceit, exploitation, wars and lots of other wrong things. It is advisable for one to learn to be sceptical when one reads info from the net cus u never know the driving force behind the persons intention. Even those that should have protected the bible took liberty at it making additions. Most nation hate to imagine the Jews as being a spercial people (eg the German =hitler). To me it is a miracle that the bible survive thus far considering the onslaught that has gone against it. However, making reseach is never a bad thing, cus even Jesus himself said one should keep asking. Peace |

mazaje: I have more books in my library today than there probably were in that era, 2000 years from now it's likely that all the books in my library would have been lost. So how come it is not possible that only one document relating an event managed survive? arguing from silence is unhelpful. No clear cut Miracle has EVER been shown to happen, if the bible is true then you should be able to perform clear cut miracles yourself after all Jesus PROMISED those of you that believe in him to have the ability to do GREATER things than he did if ONLY you believe, if you believe in Jesus and his PROMISE then you should be able to perform clear cut miracles like healing amputees and restoring their amputated limbs back or raising people that have already been buried from the dead, Jesus we are told in the story book did them and PROMISED his followers and all those that believed in his the ability to go GREATER things, the fact that no one can do clear cut miracles in his name says miracles are nothing buy lies. . NO clear cut miracle has ever been demonstrated any where, if you believe in Jesus then you should be able to do those things yopur self as he PROMISED. . .Well, my mother has been healed of breast cancer a few years ago. That's a miracle there for you. it's just too bad you refuse to believe it possible. You don't want to delve into genealogy because you know you have NO feet to stand on there. . .Both were reporting their made up tales with different account and genealogies, you attempted the one was his father and the other was his mother nonsenses when you saw that it didnt fly the new explanation is "it can be loosely translated". . .I just dislike dishonesty and that is what christian apologist fo all the time, it can be loosely translated to mean ancestor and not father, in the context it means father and as such some bible translations used the word father, unless if you are trying to lie to me that you know greek and how it should be applied more than those that translated the bible into english because father is what the wrote not your loosely translated ancestor nonsense and fraudulent attempt to explain away the obvious contradiction. . . Where you the one that wrote the book of Luke? why should any body pay attention to your dubious loose translation of the word, if we are to go by your nonsense attempt we can also say born of an ancestors as well, any body can play this nonsense games. . .The bible is clear, and as long as the bible is concerned their genealogies are different. . .I go with what is written in the bible not your nonsense apologetics that is neither here nor there. .All I have done is to show you the possible errors that can occur in translation that you choose to reject it as a possibility is not my problem. Now you are here with your speculations again. . .The gospels we have with us were NOT written by people who knew Jesus or had ever meet him, they were written long after Jesus died, in a language neither he nor his disciples spoke . . .The unknown authors never said they ever witnessed any of the events the wrote about. They just wrote their stories. . .Actually you don't know what you're claiming for sure. You are arguing from silence, you have no way of knowing if the documents available to us are original or copies. In fact, the more I read the gospels, the more it appears to me the these were different writers narrating the same story from different vantage points. If this was a composed religious document as you seem to be trying to claim, then we would have noticed a conscious effort to synchronise the stories. Besides the gospel of John is written in such a way that suggests that he was an eyewitness to the events recorded. |

Mr_Anony: I have stated my point, you call it argument from silince. . OK. . No wahala. . .Let's agree to disagree. . . Well, my mother has been healed of breast cancer a few years ago. That's a miracle there for you. it's just too bad you refuse to believe it possible. People get healed of bre[i]a[/i]st cancer all the time, so not a miracle. . . All I have done is to show you the possible errors that can occur in translation that you choose to reject it as a possibility is not my problem. When it comes to translation the best possible words that carry the best meaning to the word that is to be translated and the context in which it is used is the criteria that is used. . .The word that carries the best meaning in the context father and as such father is what is used. . .Ancestor is another meaning of the word as you said but its application makes it far fetched and does not carry the best meaning, if it did it would have been used. . .You are just throwing things up the wall to find what ever it is that will stick. . .The bible translators truly know the best word and they chose it. . .You are the one that is going off borad looking for far fetched explanations and possibilities. . . Actually you don't know what you're claiming for sure. You are arguing from silence, you have no way of knowing if the documents available to us are original or copies. In fact, the more I read the gospels, the more it appears to me the these were different writers narrating the same story from different vantage points. I don't see it that way. . .Gospel of John written as an eye witness account?. . .Can you show how?. . . |

Mr_Anony:In fulfilment of my promise, here goes: mazaje: Okay Mazaje, to truly understand the events following Christ resurrection we have to read all accounts of the four Gospels and the book of acts and second Corinthians then we can pick up clues and piece them together. Another thing would like you to note it's that those who recorded Scripture did not necessarily record Scripture sequentially, also the original manuscripts were not broken into chapters and verses as we have them today in the Bible.it was one long document. That said, let us peace the story together. What was the sequence of Jesus appearances? Acts 1:3 tells us that Jesus spent 40 days between his resurrection and his ascension. Let us now draw a timeline. Day 1. Jesus appears to Mary and tells her to tell the disciples to meet him at Galilee Matt 28:10 (note Jesus does not say exactly when he will need them at Galilee all he says is "go to Galilee and I will appear there" ) now Jerusalem to Galilee is quite a distance my approximation is that it will take several days probably a week to get there with the kind of transport system they had at the time so it is not possible for Matthew 28:16 to have happened on the same day. Later that same day Jesus appears to 2 disciples on the way to Emmaus which is quite close to Jerusalem. Luke 24:13. After Christ appeared to them, they rose up and immediately went back to Jerusalem and what they told the disciples is very profoundthat not only had Christ risen but also that he had appeared to Peter. While they were yet speaking Christ appeared amongst them ( this story tallies with Paul's account in 1Corinthians 15:6) Eight days later the disciples were in a room together this time Thomas was with them John John 20:26(note the Bible doesn't say which city they where settled in, may guess is probably they were now in Galilee by this time) this is the second time Christ appears to his disciples Some days pass, Peter decides to go fishing and the Bible says he goes fishing in the sea of Tiberias. John21:1(now Tiberias is a small town on the shore of the sea of Galilee. this time we're quite sure that the disciples are in Galilee)this is where Jesus asks Peter the famous "do you love me? feed my sheep" three times. John records that this is the third time that Jesus appears to them. John 21:14 I believe Matthew 28:16 happened after this time most likely at about the time of the Ascension. And it's possible it was 500 people that witnessed it as Paul said. That's the story of Christ. I think you should read it as an account from five different narrators and not as two independent storytellers. the is no contradiction in the story of Christ's resurrection. 1 Like |

Re: Why Are There So Many Inconsistencies Between Mathew And Luke? by MrAnony1(m): 5:45pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
Delafruita: Perhaps you should start a career as a professional critic and faultfinder. I would suggest to you that you read the gospels and allow the truth of the story to sink in. My favourite is actually the gospel according to John. We are like two people who see a movie. While I sit back and enjoy the movie, you keep pausing it at every frame hoping to see a the camera man's shadow. you miss the whole point of the movie. 1 Like |

Mr_Anony: It doesn't really matter. . . . Acts 1:3 tells us that Jesus spent 40 days between his resurrection and his ascension. Let us now draw a timeline. Firstly, the gospel does not state the location of the disciples. Secondly, Jesus told the lady to tell the 11 of his disciples after he resurrected according to Matthew to go to Galilee and meet him at a meeting point and he will appear to them. .Luke says he appeared to them in Jerusalem. . .Remember after resurrecting from the dead the first thing he told the lady according to Matthew was to hurry and tell his disciples to head to Galilee. . .But Luke says he appeared to them in Jerusalem. . .It doesn't even mention Jesus telling them to go to Galilee. . .Matthew says he told them to go to Galiee so that he will appear to them there, Luke says he appeared to them in a room in Jerusalem, why will he tell them to go to Galilee so that he will apper to them there then go and appear to them in Jerusalem. . .If you read both accounts you will see that it was his first time of apearing to them because while some of them were estatic and happy others were doubtful and did not believe. . .If he has appeared to them different times as you are trying to have us believe, they will not be doubtful since they had already seen him before. . .No matter how you look at it , it just doesnt add up. . . Later that same day Jesus appears to 2 disciples on the way to Emmaus which is quite close to Jerusalem. Luke 24:13. So what has Luke's different account go to do with Matthew?. . . . Eight days later the disciples were in a room together this time Thomas was with them John John 20:26(note the Bible doesn't say which city they where settled in, may guess is probably they were now in Galilee by this time) This is your own gospel. . .It is your own making. . Some days pass, Peter decides to go fishing and the Bible says he goes fishing in the sea of Tiberias. John21:1(now Tiberias is a small town on the shore of the sea of Galilee. this time we're quite sure that the disciples are in Galilee)this is where Jesus asks Peter the famous "do you love me? feed my sheep" three times. John's account has nothing to do with what was written in Matthew or Luke, the two authors were writting two very different tales with very different details. . . I believe Matthew 28:16 happened after this time most likely at about the time of the Ascension. And it's possible it was 500 people that witnessed it as Paul said. They wouldn't have doubted him if he had appeared to them other times before, according to Mathew they doubted clearing signifying that it was his first appearance. . . That's the story of Christ. I think you should read it as an account from five different narrators and not as two independent storytellers. the is no contradiction in the story of Christ's resurrection. If I do what you are doing then I will end up forming my own gospel account. . . |

[quote author=mazaje] Firstly, the gospel does not state the location of the disciples. Secondly, Jesus told the lady to tell the 11 of his disciples after he resurrected according to Matthew to go to Galilee and meet him at a meeting point and he will appear to them.Ok, first we know that wherever they were, they were definitely not in Galilee also the gospel of Matthew doesn't specifically say that the message was for 11 disciples exclusively (if you are going to stress over words, do it properly) .Luke says he appeared to them in Jerusalem. . .Ah so that's where they were! Glad we've finally found them in Jerusalem. Remember after resurrecting from the dead the first thing he told the lady according to Matthew was to hurry and tell his disciples to head to Galilee. . .But Luke says he appeared to them in Jerusalem. . .It doesn't even mention Jesus telling them to go to Galilee. . .Matthew says he told them to go to Galiee so that he will appear to them there, Luke says he appeared to them in a room in Jerusalem, why will he tell them to go to Galilee so that he will apper to them there then go and appear to them in Jerusalem. . .Why? Because He chose to do it that way. If you read both accounts you will see that it was his first time of apearing to them because while some of them were estatic and happy others were doubtful and did not believe. . .If he has appeared to them different times as you are trying to have us believe, they will not be doubtful since they had already seen him before. . .No matter how you look at it , it just doesnt add up. . .There are a thousand and one reasons why some would doubt. You can't judge people's reactions based on your own biases. So what has Luke's different account go to do with Matthew?. . . .It's part of the same story This is your own gospel. . .It is your own making. .I actually cited the bible verse John's account has nothing to do with what was written in Matthew or Luke, the two authors were writting two very different tales with very different details. . .No they are all telling the same story, each telling the part of the story he knows. They wouldn't have doubted him if he had appeared to them other times before, according to Mathew they doubted clearing signifying that it was his first appearance. . .Empty speculations from you. Some doubted and some did not. If some had seen Him before while some were seeing him for the first time, you would have this same effect. If I do what you are doing then I will end up forming my own gospel account. . .How can telling you to read all different accounts of the gospel lead you to forming your own account. On the contrary, it will give you a better understanding of the events. The problem is that you approach the stories with the preconceived bias that it is not true, so you read them as 5 different stories rather than one. There is a saying that goes thus: "Before you begin to read between the lines, first of all read what is written on the lines." Perhaps Mark's account will help clear things a bit: 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.” 8 So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. 9 Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. 12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either. 14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:5-18 Hope it adds up now. |
Re: Why Are There So Many Inconsistencies Between Mathew And Luke? by mazaje(m): 12:19am On Jul 19, 2012 |
Mr_Anony: It does. .It even stated that the 11 went and meet him in the meeting place in Galilee and he appeared to them. . Mat 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. Ah so that's where they were! Glad we've finally found them in Jerusalem. Thats according to Luke;s gospel, according to Matthews gospel account the headed striaght to Galilee and it was there that he appeared to them. . .The gospel accounts are both VERY different. . .If you add themn up then you form your own gospel and state thing non of them is actually talking about. . . Why? Because He chose to do it that way. False, because the two accounts are completely different. . .According to Matthew they were to head up to Galilee to meet him up and they did, according to Luke he appeared to them in Jerusalem. .Very different accounts. . . There are a thousand and one reasons why some would doubt. You can't judge people's reactions based on your own biases. If he had appeared to them before and they had seen him, eaten the food he gave them, remember in Luke it says he spoke with them provided evidence that he had risen and even gave them food. . .It doesn't make sence that they will go up to Galilee where he had passed message for them to meet up with him, see him and doubt after they were together with him before. . .The two accounts are completely different. . .And do not add up. . . I actually cited the bible verse You did no such thing, you are only forming your own gospel that has nothing to do with is written in Mathew or Luke. No they are all telling the same story, each telling the part of the story he knows. False, as such their accounts are all different, according to one of them when the woman entered the tomb she saw a man, the other said she saw an angle, the other said she saw two angles etc. . .The story does not add up if you look at it objectively, according to Matthew they were to head striaght to Galilee from where ever they were to meet with Jesus at a place he chose, they did and he appered to them. . Accoding to Luke, he appread to them for the first time in a room in Jerusalem. . . Empty speculations from you. Some doubted and some did not. If some had seen Him before while some were seeing him for the first time, you would have this same effect. We are talking about the 11 disciples and Luke says all saw him in Jerusalem. . .Mathew was very clear that it was ONLY the 11 that went up to the meeting place he assiged for them to meet in galilee. . .According to Luke they meet him, some dounted and he proved to them that he was raised from the dead after which he gave them food to eat. . .Seeing him for the second time after spening time with him in a meeting place he had told them to go and meet up with him will not make any of them to doubt him. . .So another fail on your side. . . There is a saying that goes thus: "Before you begin to read between the lines, first of all read what is written on the lines." Perhaps Mark's account will help clear things a bit: This is Marks account that is completely different from that of Matthew and Luke. . .Re read the accounts of Matthwe and Luke again. . .What he told them in the accounts of Mark and Luke are all very different. . .They don;t even come close. . . |

mazaje:Well then, I can't help you any further. You have decided before even attempting to read and understand the stories that they are all different. I want you to note that if your claim is true, then you have no grounds for claiming a contradiction because a contradiction claim first assumes that the stories are fundamentally the same before seeking to reconcile apparent discrepancies. I would also like you to note that if your claim is true then your belief that there was a Jesus Christ is false because there would either be four Jesuses or there is no Jesus. Also note that on the grounds by which you rejected Christ's existence (i.e. based on accounts of his followers), you must also reject all ancient Egyptian, Persian and Greek history because they were written by citizens of the named empires. This continues to every piece of information for which we can't find an "independent" source. This also extends to you too. After you are dead and gone, you will essentially not have ever existed unless you keep a diary. Any two people who tell a story of your life must recite the same story to word-perfection or else they are talking of multiple mazajes or no mazaje at all. If you are going to be a skeptic, let us take it to the fullest. |

1)how is it that almost all the names in Western Biblical versions of the New Testament are different from those in the Old Testament? 2)how is it that the names in the Peshitta Bible versions are different from Roman/Vatican/English/Western versions? 3)how is it that the symbol of the cross (cross of Tammuz) was not used by Israel, was never recorded in the Scriptures, is strange to Jacob's true descendants, while Constantine propagated it? 4)how is it that the true Israelites are blacks but the Christians have been led to believe that they have Amorite features? 5)what happened to all the blacks of the Levant including the Aegean/Egun people of Philistine, the Edomites/Edo of Idumea/Idu, the Jebusites/Jebus, and the people of Judah/Judaea during the period of the Roman persecution [First (66-73 CE), Second (115-117 CE) and Third (132-135 CE) [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish%E2%80%93Roman_wars]Jewish-Roman wars[/url] and the Samaritan Revolts of (484-572 CE), destruction of the second Temple in 70 CE] if not that the Greco-Romans massacred them? 6)which spirit do Christians call on when the Redeemer has mentioned clearly that He will gather back his scattered sheep and fill them with His Spirit? 7)why apparitions/visions, from Caucasians, of heaven, hell, Mary and the likes, are racist in that blacks and indigenous Negro names are not featured? (don’t blacks also go to heaven?). No wonder TuPac sang ‘I wonder if heaven got a ghetto’ – note that the posthumous producers of the video heavily added Zeus/Christian/deceptive elements to it. 8 )how is it that Christians accepted the lie that Abraham and his descendants are white? 9)how is it that the spirits they hear from either during prophecy, prayer and otherwise have not told them, especially those who call themselves born again, what the Redeemer’s true name is (John 18:37)? 10)how is it that the spirits they hear from either during prophecy, prayer and otherwise have not taught them, especially those who call themselves born again, to properly understand the Bible (John 12:40)? 11)since there are so many Christian denominations with so many interpretations of the Bible, can there be more than one Holy Spirit? 12)what happened to the Israelite tribe of Dan in Revelations 7:4-8?

Mr_Anony: They are all different. . .That is why one account states that the women saw a man inside the tomb, another states that it was two men, another stated that it was an angel etc. . .All writing their own different stufss. . . I want you to note that if your claim is true, then you have no grounds for claiming a contradiction because a contradiction claim first assumes that the stories are fundamentally the same before seeking to reconcile apparent discrepancies. The stories are all about a single person, so the contradiction stands. . . I would also like you to note that if your claim is true then your belief that there was a Jesus Christ is false because there would either be four Jesuses or there is no Jesus. I said there is a man behind the fable, all for gospels are fables. . .There are many different stories about Mohammed the prophet of islam from very different sources. . .That doesn't take away the possibility of a man being behind the fable Mohammed of the hadith. . .The gospels are fiction. . .All the other authors copied from the gospel of Mark and added their own fables to the original Mark. . . .They made corrections to the gospel of Mark in places where he got the geography and Jewish customs wrong. . The gospel of Mark was not written by a Jew at all. . . Also note that on the grounds by which you rejected Christ's existence (i.e. based on accounts of his followers), you must also reject all ancient Egyptian, Persian and Greek history because they were written by citizens of the named empires. As long as the ancient egyptians make extra ordinary claims about extra ordinary characters without any evidence then their tales about those characters will also be relegated to the realm of mythology. . . This continues to every piece of information for which we can't find an "independent" source. If after I die people that do not know me and have never meet me come about writing very contradictory stories about me long after I am dead while claiming to know me or where together with me means either they are lying or they do not know what they are talking about. .That is the story of Jesus, we have gospels that were written very long after he died, from people that have never meet him or were together with him, yet the church keeps lying that the gospels were written by his disciples when they werent even written by people that have ever meet him or knew him. . . |

Delafruita: First of all, let me appreciate the fact that you recognize that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a great leader trustworthy and peace loving and that the Qur'an was revealed to him through Angel gebriel and he is not the author but God. that's is the right thing to do (do not judge Islam base on what muslims Indivual do or what the sociaty does. judge it base on the authentic sources i.e Qur'an and the Sahid Hadeed) also I'd like to acknowledge that you have little knowledge about Islam and that's good find out more. however I'll advise that you should further your research I'm not a scholar and I knw that God sent series of Prophet to different nations and tribes .....Noah, Abraham, David, Moses Jesus and Muhammad the last and final prophet. just as Jesus (pbuh)said in the bible Matthew 5:17 do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill[/b]and that he was sent only to a tribe, Matthew 15:24 "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." John 14:30,Deuteronomy 18:18 John 12:16 and many other verses in the bible talked about the coming of Prophet Muhammad. Secondly you have not responded to the contradictory verses mentioned in the new testament that I listed, and u have not also said anything at all about the bible. God said in Holy Qur'an 3:18 [b]The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will) , Qur'an 3:84 If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).

Delafruita: First of all, let me appreciate the fact that you recognize that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a great leader trustworthy and peace loving and that the Qur'an was revealed to him through Angel gebriel and he is not the author but God. that's is the right thing to do (do not judge Islam base on what muslims Indivual do or what the sociaty does. judge it base on the authentic sources i.e Qur'an and the Sahid Hadeed) also I'd like to acknowledge that you have little knowledge about Islam and that's good find out more. however I'll advise that you should further your research I'm not a scholar and I knw that God sent series of Prophet to different nations and tribes .....Noah, Abraham, David, Moses Jesus and Muhammad the last and final prophet. just as Jesus (pbuh)said in the bible Matthew 5:17 do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill[/b]and that he was sent only to a tribe, Matthew 15:24 "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." John 14:30,Deuteronomy 18:18 John 12:16 and many other verses in the bible talked about the coming of Prophet Muhammad. Secondly you have not responded to the contradictory verses mentioned in the new testament that I listed, and u have not also said anything at all about the bible. God said in Holy Qur'an 3:18 [b]The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will) , Qur'an 3:84 If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good). Qur'an 3:102 "O you who believe, fear Allah as He ought to be feared and do not die except as Muslims.” Patiently waiting for you response...... |

kiu_usm:first,i responded to the contradictions you posted by saying the old testament is known to have errors.its principally a book of history to which no claim of divinity is attached.hence its errors dont get much attention. second,i agree that muhammad was a great leader but i dont subscribe to the divine revvelation of the quran. thirdly,islam has as one of its arctcles of faith a believe in the holy books.islam claims the holy book revealed to isa is injil which christians call the new testament.there is a genuine belief that jesus never existed and if that is true,it means jibril sold a lot of hocus-pocus to muhammad.furthermore,jesus didnt write the injil so i wonder when it was revealed to him.the injil wasnt compiled till over 300years after his death.its either muhammad heard wrongly or he spoke based on the prevailing circumstances of the time |

Delafruita: Can one just imagine this lad? He will start by making bogus assumptions and end with making outrageouse conclusions. How did u arrive at the "being written 300yrs after Jesus dead"? Well, u are a character fill with lies even against me, so, i should not take u seriousely. Beside, i had already u who u are. A muslim. Thats why u come up with this argument that the muslim always put forward to discredit Jesus while projecting muhamed. U are just putting up an act to deceive the unsuspected nairalanders. This forum is feel up with muslim with double usernames posing as atheist. 300yrs indeed. how can some one with a conscience come up with such kind idea if not some one with a hatred like the boko haram? If u dont have conscience in killing human's how can u have conscience in lying. |

Delafruita: There are honest muslim that dont resort to second hand means like u are doing. Honest muslim that concentrate on there worship. Not out to lie against others and there are also the kinds like u. The anger and reaction says other wise. U even got so angry that u went personal. Well, unfortunately for u, i dont use foul language and i dont curse, so i cant even imagine thinking of paying u back in kind. It only goes to show the kind of individual we are dealing with, extreme lack of humanity and decency. Peace |

Delafruita: Now you are admitting that the bible if full of error and it's not a complete word of God, still you have not talk about some of the errors mentioned in the New testament. we Muslims belief that the INJIL given to Jesus (PBUH) is not what is in the new testament you have today. though there are some part that contained God's word. but let face it there are addition deletion. there are some verses that portrays Prophets of God as bad people in the new testament. the INJIl is not in its original form.As you rightly said it is an article of faith for a muslim to believe in the holy books sent by God to prophets.. Muslims belief in all the books sent down to His prophets. These books include Torah, Zabur, Injil (Gospel in its original form) and Quran. The Holy Quran is the only divine book in extant today in the original revealed form. pls I want to ask whose belief is that Jesus never exited? I can see clearly you're dodging my questions. I'd advise you to get the holy Qu'ran and read it with an open mind...I'm sure by God willing you'll accept Islam. |
