No where in the Bible, God or Jesus said Christian should go to church on Sunday talk less of Sunday-Free-Day
let me help u, there is nothing like the word Christian in the bible, but in the bible it is written , thou shall observe the Sabbath day, some Christians choose Saturday as their Sabbath day, some others Sunday, the Jews stick to Saturday, where did Muhammad got Friday from? that aside, in Muhammad days everyone went back to work after Jumat service, if you want to be like Muhammad then you have to work on Friday after Jumat.

wizzakosh:
oh yes, sunday never designed 4 church, we did not dispute that, but the almighty God made it a resting day for himself and we decided to worship him on that same day in order not to disrupt the working days. Unlike you, that want to disrupt working days which can never work. Sunday not designed for church, but for God resting day after 6days of creation. He blessed the day and told us to keep it holy. Why is jealousy is so filled with islam? They kill when you mention jesus. Tar.


Lol. You pastor told you this or you read it? Tell me where it's written in your bible that God rested on Sunday after other days of creation?
Tell me where it's written in the Bible that you should worship God on Sundays?

Seriously? Now? With all the issues Nigeria is facing this idiot wants to start another religious tussle. They have Islamic banking, sharia law, almost a dozen holidays a year. Isn't that enough? In the words of Mr King, why can't we all just get along?

We fight for useless things, meaningless things a lot. So if traditionalists come and pick Tuesdays as their day of worship, those that worship Sun come and say they want Thursday off.. .what day is left in the week..... Some Muslims have their worship on Sunday..... I don't know what the man is talking bout, and nobody forces Muslims to use normal commercial banks that pay their workers with the interests they gain from loans and services rendered.

So if Sunday is never found in your bible how come some of you are going to church on Sundays, where did you get that from. And to clear your doubt. Prophet Muhammad never approved for Friday for our general worship, it is clearly an ordainment from Alláh the almighty. To silent you the more, if you care read this; Chapter 62 of the glorious Quran verse 9 reads; Chapter: 62- Al-Jumu'a
(the contribution)
(9)- يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Translation: O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) on the day of Friday (Jumu'ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumu'ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salat (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know!

You ask where does Muhammad peace be upon him get Friday? and you go on answering yourself.
It's clearly stated

Allah says:


" O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. [Quran 62:9]

The verse here is telling you, to leave your business and all other things to go and pray. then it proceed

And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah , and remember Allah often that you may succeed. [Quran 62: 10]

The second verse is only telling you, you're allowed after Prayer to continue with what you're doing. If you chooses to go back home and sleep, nothing is wrong. And it's done in Arab countries. People don't go to work on Friday.



Coming back to you: Show me the verse that ask you to go to church on Sunday. That verse above u quoted does not in anyway explain that. Observe Sabbath ? Which day Saturday or Sunday or it has two meaning? Observe the Sabbath day (Some hours or all of it)

If some then you have 2 go 2 work for the remaining hours. If all of it? why do you spend only few hours there? Beside the fact, that verse is old testament, have you now accept the ruling in old testament

Mr. Hater don't come and show your evil appearance here and stop exaggeration, we Muslims don't have a dozen of holidays in a year, we only have two legalized celebration on Islam, si how about you christians. Christmas, Easter, good Friday, palm Sunday. Now who got the more.

WEEKENDS IN ARAB NATIONS IS EITHER THURSDAY & FRIDAY OR FRIDAY & SATURDAY. HOWEVER, AS A CHRISTIAN, I DON'T MIND THE FG GIVING MUSLIMS FRIDAY AS A WORK FREE DAY PROVIDED THEY DO NOT TAMPER WITH SUNDAY AS A WORK FREE DAY AS WELL.


IF MUSLIMS ARE GIVEN FRIDAY AS A WORK FREE DAY, IT COOL PROVIDED THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON SUNDAYS....

The Director of Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, Ishaq Akintola, has called for ‘fair treatment’ between Christians and Muslims in Nigeria.
The professor of Islamic Eschatology said Nigeria is not a secular state as according to him, it does not recognize religion.

In a chat with the Punch, Akintola said, “I still insist Nigeria is not a secular state. It does not recognise any religion at all. An example is the Sallah holidays. Although Christians used to enjoy Christmas and other holidays, there was no Sallah holiday for Muslims on Eid el-Fitr and Eid el-Kabir days during the colonial days. We wrenched that from our oppressors’ hands after a long struggle.

“Another example where freedom has come our way is where Nigerian Christians compelled Muslims to operate Christian financial system with its riba (interest) which is haram (forbidden) for Muslims, yet they refused to allow Muslims to practise the Islamic banking until a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (now Emir of Kano), belled the cat by introducing Islamic banking.

“What exactly do I mean? Nigerian Christians have been enjoying everything they need since the British took over the country and colonised it. They have the Christian common law while they object to Muslims having Shariah. They enjoy Christo-Western education while they restrict Muslim children’s access to Islamic education. Christians are free to do whatever they like on Sundays but Muslims are chained to their workplaces on Fridays. That chain must break. Freedom is our cry.

“The government supports both Christian and Muslim pilgrimages. Christian and Muslim prayers are said at official functions. The preamble of the Nigerian Constitution leans heavily on God. So, we are a multi-religious nation. It is when Christian leaders want to pull the wool over our eyes that they claim that Nigeria is a secular country.

“We must widen the horizon of the quest for self-determination. They hold Christian court or church marriage whose certificate is recognised by law whereas mosque marriage certificate is not recognised. Christian schoolchildren use Christian school uniforms but Muslim children are disallowed from using the hijab. Muslim women are denied driving licences and international passports in Nigeria on account of their use of hijab.

“There is an urgent need to straighten this lopsided system. It is not working. Nigerian Muslims still remain oppressed today because they have yet to be emancipated in the four examples above. There are more areas of oppression. But there are one or two aspects where the Muslims have been liberated.

“So you can see that it is all about struggling for liberation. It is like a master-slave affair. Those who sit on the necks of Muslims are reluctant to set them free. But we will get there whether the oppressor likes it or not. It is interesting to note that Christians know that a Muslim commits a sin each time he collects or gives riba yet they never freely allowed it. What do you call that? Do we love our neighbours?

“Do you call that freedom of religion? Isn’t there some element of selfishness in that? Didn’t Jesus teach loving the neighbour? I remember that a particular bishop from the East led his followers in a public demonstration against the introduction of Islamic banking. Ridiculous, isn’t it?

“As for the claim that Muslims are being favoured by the present administration, that is large-scale falsehood. Even Nigerian toddlers know that Buhari is religion-blind. He is not a fanatic. He just wants to fix Nigeria.

“How has the present administration favoured Muslims? The facts are at our fingertips. Take the South-West as an example: there are six states there and each has a minister. Only Babatunde Fashola and Adebayo Shittu are Muslims. The rest are Christians. Let CAN tell us if that is not so. Do you call two out of six a favour? And that is just a tip of the iceberg in Buhari’s administration.

“The parastatals are replete with Christian chief executives. But Muslims are not complaining. Nigeria now has about 35 ministers out of which only 17 are Muslims. Tell me how the present administration has favoured Muslims. Is CAN using mathematics or mathemagic?

“Personally, I believe that we are cutting our nose to spite our face in this country. We should allow government to pick the best candidates for positions in order to get maximum performance. We should not always be thinking of religious or ethnic leaning. Muslims have tried as much as possible to maintain this principle but CAN is always making a noise because of its grip on the press,” Akintola noted.

You guys miss the point totally. Those countries are not secular countries but Islamic nations through and through.

Hence, they ain't valid for comparison.

Nigeria isn't an Islamic country yet and will never be by Jah's grace. Maybe you can have you arewa republic and have the whole week off if you like.

Until then, you and the prof are in dreamland.
