@ goodguy, goodguy: How do you get people to know something? If God brings something to your knowledge and you claim ignorance to deny the same, you wait and see how your belief will excuse you. goodguy: Well taken - and I suppose the fact that you didn't mention the same issues I did in my post, portrays your own B-I-A-S?? goodguy: Already dealt with - "attacking" is not the same thing as people asking questions and challenging misconceptions. Trying to "educate and admonish" people is often taken as "attacking" others' religions. goodguy:Aiight. And that proves what. . .??This. . . : Right. . . and then what? I guess we just simply recognize your point in limbo and stop telling the truth about Christ - the very thing Muslims have always wanted! |

davidylan: Ah! David, my boy. ![]() ![]() Really, you know why I like you? You always locate those Bible verses that directly refer to your person. The other day neesel created a thread for just the two of you, you were so quick to respond with Proverbs 26:4, while still answering her thereafter. At the end of the day, you became subject to the very verse you were quoting for someone else. ![]() ![]() |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 1:57pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
bari_kade: Thank you very much for elaborating on this. Really appreciated. Now I see your point. Nonetheless, I still feel you are using the acts of the extremists to castigate Islam as a whole. Not all Muslims are the same. Not all Muslims are violent. While you are probably using the acts of the Iraqis and perhaps, our own Northerners here to view Islam as a religion of Violence, I, on the other hand, am using the peaceful nature of the Muslims where I reside to view Islam. Humans will always be humans, religion or no religion. Afterall, Saudi Arabia that is predominantly a Muslim nation does not cause unnecessary havoc the way the Iraqis and other Muslim nations do. There are in fact so many Muslims that are also seeking peace with the Christians. Even right now as I type, there's a Muslim guy beside me reading all these, and does not like the broad generalization on the way Islam is being depicted. Hope you see where I'm driving at? bari_kade: [b]Mukina2 does not like the way she's being attacked here on Nairaland. We chat on messenger, and I know how she really feels about this whole issue. There are times she created topics and even had to beg to the Christians not to mess up her thread. One of such threads even had to be locked by the Admin when he saw that things were getting out of hand. bari_kade: Again, it's just the extremists. bari_kade: I'm not questioning Him. I'm only seeking to know if there's more to that statement than the way it is usually interpreted, since it doesn't seem to favour the whole of mankind. We can discuss it here if you don't mind. bari_kade: It does actually exist in the Muslim world, maybe not among the extremists though. I'll be showing you what I mean in my subsequent postings. bari_kade: We know the things God accepts and disapproves, but do we know ALL? That's what I'm trying to point out. Please don't misunderstand me. You can't tell me there are certain things about God that you have not questioned in your mind. . that alone shows that no human can completely comprehend God. bari_kade: It's the former actually, not that I totally know for a certainty though. bari_kade: If he had known better, he wouldn't have denied Jesus' claims. bari_kade: That's not my point. Tell the truth about Jesus, but those that are not convinced should not be threatened with the talk of eternal condemnation. I don't believe any sane person that really knows the truth will deny it outrightly. Those that do not know the truth are those that are not convinced, not those that just don't want to believe. Those that get convinced are those that eventually turn to Christianity. Have you ever wondered why it's usually much easier to convert a Muslim just by preaching, than converting an atheist by mere words of the mouth? That's because a Muslim already knows that there's a God, but just did not understand certain things about him prior to that moment. A Muslim has always seen God differently, and now that he/she has now understood and accepted other parts of Him, it will be easier to subscribe to the Christian faith. |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 1:59pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
If Christians and Muslims honestly believe they serve different Gods, here's a typical conversation that will normally ensue between them: Christian: Hey, how are you doing? Muslim: Not bad. Christian: Do you know Jesus is the son of God? Muslim: Which God is that? Christian: The Christian God of course. Muslim: Oh. . that's cool. Christian: Yeah it is. Muslim: But our own God doesn't have a son. Christian: Really? Aww. . Too bad. Muslim: Not to worry though, He's got a prophet that mediates between us and Him. Christian: Oh. . what's his name? Muslim: His name is Muhammad (S.A.W) Christian: That's a nice name. Muslim: Yeah it is. Christian: Pal, I have to go now. It was nice chatting with you. See you some other time. Muslim: Alright buddy. Have a nice day! Christian: You too. Muslim: Bye! Christian: Bye! But for the fact that they both believe that they serve the same God, here's a typical conversation that will normally ensue between them: Christian: Jesus is God. Muslim: That's a lie! Prove it! Christian: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God (John 1:1). Muslim: That's very wrong. That's blasphemy! How dare you equate a mere mortal with God? Infact, your Bible is so full of frauds and lies! Christian: Are you so blind that you cannot comprehend simple truths? Muslim: What truths? Those are nothing but lies. How possible is it for 2 persons to be the same and still refer to one another as Son and Father? Christian: You are either simply ignorant or you have a chronic inability to comprehend objective arguments. Muslim: Me, ignorant? I don't blame you. You lack common sense, retard! Christian: Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him (Proverbs 26:4). Muslim: Idiot, you just answered me. That makes you a fool as well! Christian: Father forgive them, for they know not what they say. Muslim: After calling me a fool? Good Christian indeed. Hypocrite! . . . and the ![]() So you see, the fact that both are arguing on that issue shows that they both believe in the same God, but each wants the other to see God from their own perspective. That is, one understands the concept of trinity and knows for sure that God has a son, but the other simply finds such notion ridiculous because he doesn't know. Get my drift? |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by Nobody: 2:21pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
goodguy: my dear, that's why i like you too! ![]() You like to portray yourself as a "christian" when deep down you are a deluded muslim pacifist. Yeah you talk to mukina2 on YIM, i do the same too eh! the fact that we argue on NL religion threads sometimes vehemently has not stopped us from being friends! Sorry to burst your self righteous bubble. Oh and the neelsel and I thread? You conveniently forgot to mention that we reconciled later on eh! ![]() Even the best of friends have their fights, but maturity is knowing when to sheath the sword and embrace the other. Oh did i forget to tell you we are having a good discussion right now on YIM as i type? ![]() No i wont "mess up" your thread with my bible thumping (sorry if it shows u up for your Jannes and Jambres mentality), you already messed it up long ago when you compared the God of Elijah to that idol in islam! I tried so much not to contribute to this jaundiced view of yours but i could not help but chip in a thing or two. Muslims and christians believe in the same God? ![]() |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by Nobody: 2:39pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
goodguy: Any right thinking idiot can easily tell you are driving into the ditch. When you claim Saudi Arabia "does not cause unnecessary havoc", one is wont to realise that this is coming from someone who is ignorant of issues. Most of the money that funds extremist sunni islam and the violent form of wahhabism comes from Saudi Arabia. Osama bn Laden is from the ruling class in Saudi Arabia! It is also one of the few countries where women have no rights in accordance to strict islamic teaching! That you see a few "peaceful" muslims around you does not negate the fact that islam is mainly fueled by a spirit of violence. Christianity is not about "seeking peace" with muslims, it is about the salvation of the soul! |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 3:05pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
davidylan: She's a smart lady. She achieved her aim, got satisfied, and it cost her absolutely nothing to apologize. But you on the other hand, became subject to the same verse that you quoted against her. And why should I be shocked that mukina2 is chatting with you? I know her to be an easygoing person who doesn't hold grudges against people. Anyway, that's not the issue now. To avoid derailing this thread further, I'll only respond to the part of your post that is relevant to the topic. davidylan: How contradicting. How do you expect to save a soul without first seeking peace with the person? By the way, please carry all these your "idiot", "ignorant" and whatnot out of these thread. bari_kade and I have been having a civil conversation so far without the use of words like these to refer to ourselves. I knew your coming to this thread will change the whole story, Mr. "good Christian". |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by Nobody: 3:18pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
goodguy: It is the very same kind of question the serpent used to decieve Eve in the garden. What would have been your response to this saying: Mathew 10: 34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household Please ask Jesus that your earlier "contradicting" question. |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 3:28pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
davidylan: That verse was in the passage read in church 2 weeks ago. I wanted to start a thread on that to know what Jesus actually meant, but I forgot. The way you have used it here in response to my question makes me believe you've quoted that verse completely out of context. Because if we are to analyze it, considering the question I asked, and how you offered it as a response, you're implying that Jesus did not come to establish peace among mankind, as earlier agreed between bari_kade and I on the previous page. Is that it? |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by Nobody: 3:43pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
no, the main thing Jesus was trying to point out to His disciples there was simple. The Jewish mentality of a Messiah was a glorious king coming in the mould of David to defeat their Roman enemies and become a great king. They did not reckon with a mere baby born out of wedlock and in a manger claiming to be God Himself! When Christ made the earlier statement, it was like a prophecy to foretell what being christian would be in this present world. Being a true christian sets u apart from others, men will hate you, ridicule you even family will be against you for your faith. He was not talking about a realistic sword there but a hypothetical one. It was a warning the early apostles learned very early: being christian is not a bed of roses. Paul and co went through horrors for their faith, it was not a peaceful ride, neither was it going to be a straight ticket to fame. |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by gbadex1(m): 4:15pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
@goodguy: So, your own reason for believing that Muslims worship a different God is due to the fact that Jesus and Muhammad had differing views on certain issues? Is that it? to simply answer this question, i'll take a verse from the Bible: "I am the way the truth and the life, no one cometh to the Father except through me" like i once said, the differences in religions worldwide is in their doctrines and tenets. the fact that 2 or more religions have similar doctrines dosn't negate the differences |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by gbadex1(m): 4:31pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
In order for this discussion to go smoothly, i believe clarifications have to be made about both religions i.e : Christianity and Islam. SALVATION Christianity A free gift of God (Eph. 2:8-9) to the person who trusts in Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. He is our mediator (1 Tim. 2:5). No works are sufficient in any way to merit salvation since our works are all unacceptable to God (Isaiah 64:6). Islam Forgiveness of sins is obtained by Allah's grace without a mediator. The Muslim must believe Allah exists, believe in the fundamental doctrines of Islam, believe that Muhammad is his prophet, and follow the commands of Allah given in the Koran. ATONEMENT Christianity The sacrifice of Christ on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24) whereby His blood becomes the sacrifice that turns away the wrath of God (1 John 2:2) from the sinner when the sinner receives (John 1:12), by faith (Rom. 5:1), the work of Christ on the cross. Islam There is no atonement work in Islam other than a sincere confession of sin and repentance by the sinner. Man Christianity Made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26). This does not mean that God has a body, but that man is made like God in abilities (reason, faith, love, etc.). Islam Not made in the image of God (42:11). Man is made out of the dust of the earth (23:12) and Allah breathed life into man (32:9; 15:29). ________________________________________________________________ This are just a few of the ones i felt were most important to our discussion. Now we can trash out issues more appropiately. Enjoy |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by barikade: 5:01pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
@goodguy, While at a friend's house, I was just sitting as a Guest online watching the interesting development of this burning issue. I'll take my friend's advise to offer brevity and not overstate the obvious. Sorry to notice that your responses keep missing the point because they really are not based on reality. Somehow, I'm persuaded that you're basing your convictions merely on ideas that have no substance in the tenets of either faith; and if you're pushing your agenda in disregard of the core beliefs of these faiths, it then does not stand to reason that you even had a serious concern ab initio. When you make arguments that disregard the core beliefs and practices of either faiths, it would seem that you're asking us to have a religion either ways in total disregard of the core expressions and beliefs of the religion in question. Which would simply make your arguments only tangential to reality. Let me offer just a line for now to the point: goodguy: I'll be first to admit that not all Muslims are violent. However, let me assure you that I haven't appealed to extremists activities to castigate Islam as a whole, as you alleged. Please go over carefully again and understand the approach employed in my presentation. Among other things, I have always sought to ask questions and offered references to buttress my persuasions. In contrast, what you have been posting are hypothetical ideas that may, at best, be misleading to the general reader - some of who may not have the slightest clue on the subject. goodguy: I'm not so sure where you're taking this persuasion from; but I'll easily refer you to documented evidence that negate your premise about the Saudi Arabia case. Just one news article confirms that Saudi Arabia also completely forbids all public non-Muslim religious activities; and excerpts: "As the State Department has comprehensively documented, the government of Saudi Arabia forbids all demonstration of religious faith that is not consistent with the state-sanctioned interpretation of the Sunni branch of Islam. Shi’a Muslims, who constitute about eight percent of the Saudi population, face severe discrimination in employment and education. Their books are banned, their religious ceremonies discouraged, their most basic rights violated because judges are officially permitted to ignore their testimony in court. Many Shi’a leaders have been imprisoned. One cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Turki al-Saab, was sentenced last year to flogging and 7 years in prison after making comments critical of the government to the Wall Street Journal. "Saudi Arabia also completely forbids all public non-Muslim religious activities. Non-Muslim clergy are prohibited from visiting the country. The distribution of Bibles is banned. Many Christians have been imprisoned or deported for practicing their faith. The Saudi authorities have even punished private religious expression, raiding homes where private worship was taking place and arresting the participants. In one such case reported by the State Department, 2 Filipino Christian residents were sentenced to 30 days in prison, 150 lashes, and deportation in April of 2002 for conducting a Roman Catholic prayer group in their home. "The Departments Religious Freedom Report is crystal clear in its judgment of Saudi Arabia’s record. It concludes, simply, that “freedom of religion does not exist” in Saudi Arabia. The State Department has been able to make such a categorical statement about only two countries in the world: North Korea and Saudi Arabia." Well, there it is, and at the risk of almost breaking my promise for brevity. However, I would still have the persuasion that you have not carefully handled the subject you proposed, and have hitherto presented unreal drama sketches that fall far short of the substance of this discussion. bari_kade and I have been having a civil conversation so far without the use of words like these to refer to ourselves. I learn everyday and have repented of uncivil mannerisms in discussing issues. I'd like to offer the same to all discussants, and thank everyone for being gentlemanly so far. Regards. ![]() |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 6:24pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
davidylan: If truly, this is the correct interpretation of that verse, then I don't see how it connects to the question I asked. May I remind you of what led to this? You said: "Christianity is not about "seeking peace" with muslims, it is about the salvation of the soul!". And I asked you how possible it is to save a soul, without seeking peace with your target. Or will you save a soul with violence? Then you replied with the John 10:34 quote. I asked you to explain, and what I have up there is what you delivered. Now please tell me, how does your explanation above link with "Christianity, not seeking peace"? Because obviously, the fact that Jesus prohibited revenge among his followers alone shows that he came to establish peace on earth. I'm sure even bari_kade will agree with me on this one. |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 6:26pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
gbade. x: That's in John 14:6. And I've also asked previously, where does this leave those that died before Christ? Or those that did not get convinced about the Gospel? Someone created a topic on that, but no one has given any answers so far. gbade. x: Sure. And the fact that they both have different tenets and doctrines doesn't negate the fact that they have the same beliefs. They are only aiming at the same thing, through different means. gbade. x: Have you ever wondered if God required things of us in different ways? That is, for the followers of Christ, the applicable one is the Bible verse you provided, and for the followers of Muhammad, they really don't need all that. . ? Have you ever wondered what God really could be up to? Have you ever wondered if He's just trying to prove a point? Hey, I'm just wondering myself. gbade. x: Ditto. gbade. x: The last two are enough evidence that both religions believe in the same thing. And concerning the first one, it has only buttressed my point further that they see things differently. gbade. x: Thanks for your input. Really appreciated. Anyway, all I have gathered so far, from this post of yours and the input of others just shows that your reason for believing Muslims worship Idols is because of the varying doctrines. But should be doctrines be a basis for such assertions in the first place? The whole thing is more like: Jesus did this, Mohammad did that Jesus did those, Muhammad did these Jesus did not do this, Muhammad did that Muhammad did not do this, Jesus did that So therefore, followers of these two People worship different Gods. [More like a Logical analysis] But should it be so? Is anyone here reasoning with me at all? ![]() |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 6:30pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
@bari_kade, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Thanks for the Saudi Arabia article, by the way. And thanks for being gentlemanly too, so far. God bless. |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by opeemi1(m): 6:41pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
davidylan: Looking at the way you posted this specific verses in the bible. You are trying to say that Christians should condemn Muslims because they wage wars on us, considering the posts you are trying to back up. And that the lord does not forgive any Muslims. These same verse you are trying to explain has already been expounded upon in the thread, "Why Christianity Is Wrong" in which babs787 asked this same question and I gave him an erudite answer of want Jesus was trying to pass across. But your explanation is quite off the track. davidylan: I don't see this explaining the verses you quoted above, though you are trying to prove a point about the birth of Christ. davidylan: Let me correct this, it wasn't a prophesy that foretell what Christians would be in this present world as you said, but was talking about the aftermath of the Rapture. The verse was a warning alright, and a clarification of what will happen in His(Jesus) second coming. I hope you get my point. ![]() |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by mrpataki(m): 6:43pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
@ Imam goodguy, goodguy: Well am not reasoning with you at all on that line knowing that you are full pledged muslim! Now I ask you, Does both religion enjoin the men to beat their women as dogs, equate them to animals, does both religion enjoin that it is by works that we shall be saved? Does both religion support that killing the infidels is the ideal way of propagating their gospels? Does both religion support the fact that marrying more than one woman is ideal in Gods eyes? Stop making me to believe that you cannot reason at all! |

Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by mrpataki(m): 7:25pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
goodguy: I care less what your opinion of me is actually. I am only concerned with the fact that you coul label another person as to not been a christian rather a churchgoer, yet you know little of the God Christians worship! Believe all you want about me, at least, I told you what I believe about you, but really I am not bothered at all! Really the fuss is that, you should be the one applying your sense of logics to see that the muslim idol is different from the God true christians worship. |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 7:35pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
mrpataki: I think God would even prefer a churchgoer to bible-thumping hypocrites, hiding under the umbrella of "I sabi quote Bible pass you, you no sabi God reach me" attitude. mrpataki: Now you remind me of secondary school. Gone are those days! ![]() mrpataki: This is where everyone is missing it. Muslims do not worship Idols. They worship the true living God that we Christians serve, and that's why I can confidently equate the Muslim God with the Christian God (not that they are different anyway). You people are looking at it from the "The Christian God is bigger and superior" angle, but I'm simply looking at it from "The Christian/Muslim God is the Supreme God, and both worship Him" angle. I'm not equating any idol with God Almighty. Geddit? |

Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by gbadex1(m): 8:35pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
@ goodguy et al: of most, if not in all religions; the basic/blueprint of these religions are in their doctrine. Therein the doctrines and tenets, are the laws and guidelines by which followers of these various religions conduct themselves/live their lives. Your misconception/error comes largely from erronously equating principles/doctrine with perception. Human perception may vary and as such thoughts and opinions would vary giving way to opinions. the tenets/doctrine of a religion are rigid/steadfast and stand throughout, not conforming to time and age or human perceptions and rationalization. In these doctrines, it is expounded HOW followers should serve their deity. The difference then comes in HOW these deities should be served, THROUGH the doctrines laid down by the Books of such religions. By this difference, the deities ARE DIFFERENT. |

mrpataki: Will you try explaining what you meant by "off-mark inputs". mrpataki: If you think I was ascribing the glory of answers to my intellect as you put it, then will you try explaining to me what the verse quoted by davidylan meant. mrpataki: I guess this was a typo. mrpataki: Like we all know this common proverbs that says, "Fingers are not equal". There will be people who will do anything to keep there family into there religion. While there are some who believes the world would be a better place regardless of there religion. You see, there will always be people like Reverend, and you can't force them of there beliefs. All we can do is to advice and tell them the truth. It is now left to them to make a choice. And whatever they say against you shouldn't be of any importance as long as you have your faith rooted in God. And I believe as a Christian by faith such derogatory words like "moronic species" should be used, right? ![]() mrpataki: They word Christian is very easy to say. If you are a Christian by mouth, so shall it be(as above). But if you are a Christian by faith, the Kingdom of Heaven awaits your arrival. |

Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by Nobody: 9:59pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
@ goodguy, yeah there really is no point your posting here or anyone else trying in vain to convince you. As soon as i saw this line: goodguy: I realised there was no point trying to show a blind man the difference between white and black. Please continue in your pacifist delusion. goodguy: Yes i geddit! You have no idea what God you worship you've just been decieving yourself that you know Him. This is not about superiority of Gods, it is about the sovereignity of the Alpha and the Omega! @ ope_emi, In your attempt to provide "erudite" scholarship, you simply goofed when you claim the persecution of the church as i quoted earlier is going to occur after Christ's second coming. 1. Since you and goodguy believe that YOU (not we!) and the muslims serve the same "god", i wonder whom you are really expecting. It cant be the Jesus who SAID He was the way the truth and the life, Goodguy has told us that was not what Jesus meant. 2. What do you call the experience of the early apostles after the pentecost? Persecution? You both can keep deluding yourselves, i wonder what you will be hearing in church. Soon islamochristianity will take over! |
Re: God Supported Holy Wars In The Bible by goodguy(m): 10:26pm On Feb 03, 2007 |
I don't worship a god. I worship the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Here's a post from a Muslim: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=38267.32#msg859377 And that's my point exactly. davidylan: I am deluded, ignorant and blind - that's a really nice way to address issues, you know? Anyway, can you kindly show me where I said outrightly that Jesus did not mean He is the Way, Truth and Life? |
