Jesus would not visit the tax collector’s home on the day he was celebrating his idol lest Jesus eat of idol food and became a stumbling block for his followers. He would rather visit on a neutral day just like he did.

are you talking about Paul or Jesus the Christ?

Retard, listen to your fellow Christian, he is filled with wisdom, your skull is as empty as a deserted community

SpyAC:
Its abomination for a christian to accept their gift,God said, do nt sit, nor eat on de same table wt unbelievers

So you Christians are the believers?......continue making mockery of yourself

festamadin:
It is very wrong, because Moslem worship God through Mohammed which was a human being who dies some years ago and never resurrect. While Christian worship God through Jesus Christ Who came down from heaven to save mankind. He died and resurrected and he is alive.

1 Timothy 4:4 Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.



1 Corinthians 10:28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—

I had a foolish girl friend then, she will come to my house and cook Sallah meat and she wont have a taste cos its a muslim Sallah meat. For me i will go to her house for Easter, xmas and other celebrated christian festive and eat in her house. Who is a fool between me and her?

blessedvisky:

I would reject it because I know of the hatred they and their god bear towards Christians

I would reject it because accepting it is tantamount to participating in a spiritual exercise ordained by a god and a prophet I do not worship or believe in

I would reject it because the Muslim smiling at me today can and most likely will hurt me greatly if there is a choice to be made between me and his religion

Lastly, I would reject it because their fast is not done secretly but openly (Read Matthew 6: 16 - 18)

These are very stupid reasons my dear.

It's not as if you live in peace with all your Christian brothers. Don't some still betray you?

And you must be very Petty to attach unnecessary importance to something as insignificant as food. Something you need to survive. You're now discriminating against it.

i think literally we shouldnt judge on the basis of religion but i think common sensically if the muslims around you can also accept easther or xmas food from you.i think u need show dem some love by reciprocating.

Disneylady:

They claim to be Christians(followers of Christ) but they never followed him in his way at all. Jesus(ASW) performed ablution, prayed by bowing down his head(sujood) and he fasted. Most of them Christians don't even fast, they claim it is not mandatory....levity!. Did Jesus(ASW) clap and dance whenever he wanted to worship his God( or they may say he is God now).

Preach sister. You have said it all.

Warmth greetings to us Nairaland family..
Happy Ramadan fasting to our Muslim brothers.
Quickly I want to ask, how right or rather proper for a non-muslim, particularly Christians to accept food/meat gift from our Muslim brothers, especially the ones used in breaking the fast..
My Muslim close associates have been gifting that persuasively and it now looks discriminatory to them, I'm a Christian by the way and they are well informed on that.

However this thread is never for religious warring or insults from anyone/religion against another, it's for better interreligious knowledge and information.

As far as the economy is still bad, Buhari is still the president and APC as a party is not ready to let Nigerians go, I will praise whoever is able to give someone food, accept such,give God thanks,gather my family together and DESCEND upon the food!

ikennaf1:


Nawao na fight? you're trying to correct me on something I've been hearing since when... try to comment on Islam threads and see what stares at you. I watch Islamic programs on TV and at a time I was a fan of a particular comedy drama on an Islamic TV. Before every program, they make that declaration. so my brother you cannot confuse me.

Okay let's even use your sentence and replace Allah with God.... There is no God/god except God. does it make sense? Now assuming Sango worshippers make that declaration, here is how it will go... There is no God/god except Sango. Now compare.

On the side, it's good that you are modifying Islamic stuff to go by modern and moderate standards. you're better than those ones who will say that the Quran covers all and whatever isn't covered is filth. Those that say the religion is unquestionable and shouldn't be modified like the Christians do.

my only problem with you now is that you are making it seem as if your modification has been there all along ,whereas it wasn't and still isn't.

Don't be economical with the truth. Download a copy of Quran and see for yourself. You are a Christian and you are telling me what's long written in the Quran. Stop misquoting the word of God. it's really a big sin. g is used to refer to idol god in the Qur'an while G is used to refer to Almighty Allah / God. Don't tell me what I know.

blessedvisky:

Thank God you said "Buy". What happened between you and woman is called a transaction. You gave her money, she gave you food, simple.

una hypocrate is second to non. Since it's a business transaction now, it's does not matter to you as far as the food is from Christian.

Afamed:

Don't be economical with the truth. Download a copy of Quran and see for yourself. You are a Christian and you are telling me what's long written in the Quran. Stop misquoting the word of God. it's really a big sin. g is used to refer to idol god in the Qur'an while G is used to refer to Almighty Allah / God. Don't tell me what I know.

So why not write it that way... There is no god except God.?

blessedvisky:

If someone employs me, muslim or not, it simply means that he/she needs me to render certain services and he/she pays me in return. The Muslim is not dashing me the money. He or she is exchanging money for my services

I'll also like to see that Muslim that will give a Christian money without any strings attached (eg Family Relative, Loan, Cooperative money, buying and selling, etc)

A Muslim that commissions a road can only do so because of (political) power vested upon the person by the government eg a public office holder, etc. A muslim cannot commission a road simply because he/she is a muslim

I know you are educated, I wonder why you'll bring up instances as ridiculous as those in order to discredit my earlier stance

Same way when a Muslim gives you food, he/she doesn't want you to go hungry.
All things justified.

Ramadan gat no food. The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

FriendNG:



I am not interested in the argument between you and the guy you quoted but let me point out something to you.

Allah has 99 names you can Google that. God says pray to him using those names, so to say we use Allah alone as name for God is baseless.

List the other 99 names or hold your peace.

You claim you worship same God with another religion but the name of the Gods do no "co-relate" and no "co-identify". How do you justify your claim?

YaTar:
1 Corinthians 10:27-28 New International Version (NIV)

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.

BluntTheApostle:


Your post is the ignorant one here and very silly sort of.

So, it is now by the name you call your God? What other name does an English Christian call/pray through?

Its a no brainer, even you should be able to answer that question for yourself naa.

Try to put ypur brain to work sometimes naa, or if you feel lazy, you can ask Google.

Pentools:


The question is, Christians collecting food from Muslims during their Ramadan celebration or maybe the food they used in breaking their fast. How right is that...

There is nothing wrong in that if you're doing that with a clean conscience. I does that too. Though my wife doesn't like it. Anyway that's her understanding.

sanerugwei:


Ignorance on rampage.

Are you saying Allah and Jehovah are the same being?

Never heard a mooslim call on God as Jehovah or Yahweh or any other names Christians/Jews used. Even Hausa Christians know this, hence they call refer to and identify Him as Ubangiji(spellcheck) not Allah.

Neight do our Yoruba mooslims call Allah as Eledumere, Oluwa or other appellation in local dialect.

Go and research why this is so.

You're getting it wrong bro Allah is an Arabic word which means God, similarly you would have heard Muslims greeting one another with asalam alaykum that also means 'may the peace and mercy of God be upon' almost as similar to the Christian's too. What makes it weird is the Arabic. I'm a Yoruba guy note Oluwa does not mean God but Lord, Eledumare is an ancient way of saying God, Olohun or Olorun means the creator it is foundly used by both Yoruba Christians and Muslims. We both worship God but in different ways

I am a christian and journalist. Prior to the week of the Ramadan, my News Editor asked me to attend and cover a Pre-Ramadan lecture. At the end of the lecture, I was given packaged rice and token for transport. Getting to the office, my colleague who is equally a Christian anxiously wanted to get the rice from me but fled after she discovered the source. I offered to given her money out of the token from the same source. She gladly welcomed the idea and alas!, I declined.


Religious tolerance is the key. Both religions are one. I must confess I enjoy Islamic teachings despite being a Christian.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
Some of you who claim to be Christians make me cover face in shame. You go to church but do not read your Bibles. Even if you do so, you do not do so to understand but to fulfill all righteousness. God already has sanctified all food and therefore, no food is unclean. What goes into you doesn't taint you. It is what comes out of you that stains you.
Read:
1st Corinthians 10:27..

God has already sanctified all food? Is that what the Bible truly said ?

The Bible in Corinthians said "do not eat food offered to idols ".

In the Old Testament, Daniel and the three Hebrew children rejected the kings meat because they know it was sacrificed to idols.

The Bible only allows you to eat anyhow, if you are not sure of the source of the food, then you are expected to pray and give thanks.

But when you know a food was used for a religious offering that is not towards the real God, it is forbidden to eat as a Christian.

If you cannot prove with certainty, that Muslims worship Jehovah -the God of the universe ,then eating their religious food could be tantamount to spiritual contamination and idol worship.

Shut up. Am I the the 1 arguing with you? I just said your claim that we don't use other name for Allah is baseless.

Both religious are one?

In the Bible ,God said " My name is Jehovah "

Is that the name of the Muslim Allah?

Are you allowed to call the Muslim God -Jehovah in Saudi Arabia.?

Disneylady:

Hey, we don't worship god, we worship God Almighty. Some of you Christians are terrible, thought your "lord" taught you to love your neighbor as you do yourself

Ok

Disneylady:

Hey, we don't worship god, we worship God Almighty. Some of you Christians are terrible, thought your "lord" taught you to love your neighbor as you do yourself

Who is more terrible? A Christian who refuses to accept Ramadan and sallah food from a Muslim or a Muslim who poisons food and shares it to Christian children? Let me know ur thoughts

ladiesreject:
That's muslims for you.

They persuade you to eat/drink from them but they will never eat or drink from you, especially if it's the food meant to be used in breaking fast by Christians.

Muslims by default are supposed to discriminate and hate non Muslim (Christians).

As for me oooo, I won't eat the food. Not because am a religious person, but because that's exactly what they'll do if you turn the tables.

Hey, am talking about real and practising muslims, not those who in one way or the other have some western influence in their lives.

Hausa people call them infidels

A woman in my compound now. Whenever they were celebrating their Ramadan, she usually game my children gift. But one Christmas when we decided to pay back as in sharing of gift. My wife gave her children gifts, do you know that that woman asked his children to return it back?

Since then when ever she brought her nonsense
We also reject it outrightly.

She is those one that covers face when going out.

There's nothing wrong with that. I joined some of my Lebanese Muslim friends to break their fast two weeks ago & the food was incredible!!!

I even want go join them to break this week.
