You guys dont get it, do you? Ask yourself this question.. what is the usefulness of bracket in relation to the coefficient? Dont you realise that 6 can be written as 2(1+2)? Just like writing 6a as 2(a+2a). so the coefficient in the question 6/2(1+2), is attached to whatever is in the brackets and therefore can not be touched without FULLY considering the operation joining it with whatever is in the brackets.
Further analysis....
Let rewrite 6a as 2(a+2a). Correct?
Now, divide this whole lots by 6.
Hence, 6/2(a+2a).... Using BODMAS, take care of whatever is in the brackets, therefore we will have
6/2(3a)
taking away the brackets yields *
hence we have, 6/2*3a
leading to 6/6a which can now be easily divided.

I am waiting to see your counter~proof/proofs.

Try using PEMDAS
Where P = Parenthesis
E = Exponents
M = multiplication
D = Division
NB: Order of multiplication and division is from left to right.
A = Addition
S = subtraction
NB: Order of addition and subtraction is from left to right.
Source: GMAT 2012 pg 226.

6 / 2 ( 1 + 2 ) = ?
Explanation:
Using BODMAS (Bracket Of Division, multiplication, addition and subtraction)
B = treat bracket (Parenthesis) first: 6 / 2 * 3
DM = treat division and multiplication from left to right (please note from left to right): 3 * 3
Since there is no need for addition and subtraction, the answer is therefore = 9.

Create another thread for your questions. I hid some other posts because they would take us away from the theme of this thread. You can post the link of your new thread here and the answers can be posted there.

Thank you.

Well noted!

Thanks!

folafola: One thing Islam does not believe in is freedom of religion. If Islam takes over America, or any other country, there wouldn't be a choice of religion. The Quran states: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost." (Surah 3:85) Many of the teachings of Islam are incompatible with progress and contradict common sense. Neither are they compatible with human rights or civil rights. Here are a few examples of the teachings of Islam:

1. Men are superior to Women. (Sura 2:228)
2. Women have half the rights of men:
a-In court witness (Sura 2:282)
b-In inheritance (Sura 4:11)
3. A man may beat his wife. (Surah 4:34)
4. A man may marry up to four wives at a time (polygamy). (Sura 4:3)
5. Muslims must fight until their opponents submit to Islam. (Sura 9:5)
6. A Muslim must not take a Jew or Christian for a friend. (Surah 5:54)
7. A Muslim apostate must be killed. (Surah 9:12)
8. Stealing is punished by amputation of hands. (Surah 5:41)
9. Adultery is punished by public flogging. (Surah 24:2)
10. No separation between church and state. (Surah 2:193)
11. No opposition parties allowed. (Surah 4:59)

You've really shot yourself in the leg!
1 Timothy 2:11-12 clearly states:
"A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent."
Genesis 3:16
To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you."

In 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3, King David had six wives and numerous concubines.

In 1 Kings 11:3, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

In 2 Chronicles 11:21, King Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines.

"He who wrongs a Jew or a Christian will have myself as his accuser on the Day of Judgment." (Al-Bukhari).

{Say: ‘O People of the Scripture. Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partners unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him)’.} (Al-Imran 3: 64).

Exodus 21:24
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Leviticus 20:10 - And the man that committeth adultery with [another] man's wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity."

Seriously you need to stop derailing this thread!

@TroGunn and bongila

How am i derailing the thread?
Your successfully answering these questions will go a long way in providing answers to the questions you seek since I believe answers to all these questions have been given earlier.

And if you truly believe suicide is allowed in Islam why are you people still alive. Are there no muslims where you leave?

TroGunn: 1) Does Islam approve of killing people for any reasons?
2) Please what are these justified reasons for killing, if true?
3) Which is considered more serious sin - making cartoons or videos mocking the Prophet or suicide bombing?
4) Is it ok for muslims to protest and attack people who mock the Prophet?
5) Any particular reasons why muslims don't protest or do jihad against suicide and other attacks on muslims/non-muslims by the so-called misguided islamists, being as you all say such attacks misrepresent and insult Islam?

You can do yourself a lot of good by answering these questions below first.
1) Does Christianity approve of killing people for any reasons? Or are you telling no christian has ever killed?
2) Please what are these justified reasons for killing, if true?
3) Which is considered more serious sin - Genocide, blasphemy or deceit? Hiroshima & Nagasaki were not attacked by a muslim country.
To your 4th question, why do you have to mock a prophet? What happened to the Judge not in Matthew 7:1 and Luke 6:37?
5) Any particular reasons why christians don't protest when some misguided christians represent christianity in bad light since this is regarded as insult to christianity?

@folafola

All your allegations are very laughable. I can show you proof in the Quran about the spherical shape of the earth. “And the earth, moreover, hath He made egg shaped.” [Al-Qur’an 79:30].

Did Moses and David not killed? Moses (Ex. 2:11-15) and David (2 Sam. 11:15-17) and "And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes..." (I Chronicles 20:3). Chapters 17-19 (17-18-19) tells us that David killed 22,000 Syrians. No one expresses shame at such slaughters. Here in 20:3, we have David, counted as a great leader of the Israelites, slaughtering captives after the cessation of hostilities. From what high moral ground should we admire this action?

The Arabic version of the Bible was not present at the time of Prophet Muhummad (PBUH). The earliest Arabic version of the Old Testament is that of R. Saadias Gaon of 900 C.E. - more than 250 years after the death of our beloved Prophet. The oldest Arabic version of the new Testament was published by Erpenius in 1616 C.E. - about a thousand years after the demise of our Prophet.

If Islam supports suicide, then why are you still alive? Are there no muslims where you live?

Paris_Love: You guessed wrong.

A different perspective? Maybe.

If there is anyone who deludes himself that Allah will not give to his prophet victory in this world and in the Hereafter, let him tie a rope tothe ceiling of his house and hang himself; and then let him see whether his self castigation alters that towards which he is so full of envy. -even to the slightest extent! http://quran.worldofislam.info/Quran/Quran/surah22.htm

Now that's interesting.

I've been expecting you for a long time to come and derail the thread. Welcome!

Asiwaju9ja:

This is what I have been trying to tell mumuslims that Christians have a mind of dia own. See what oyeezee a christian wrote concerning Islam and dia violence. If a mumuslim should write this about Christians a mumuslim cleric will pronounce FATWA on him.

Guy! Must you comment?

I'm very sorry for my late response.

The Greek term for "advocate" is Sunegorus.
Periqlytos means the "most illustrious or praiseworthy."

The text from John was: "I shall go to the Father and he shall send you another messenger whose name shall be Periqlytos, that he may remain with you forever."

When you replaced periqlytos with its English meaning you have: "I shall go to the Father and he shall send you another messenger whose name shall be praiseworthy, that he may remain with you forever."

You should be able to see clearly that Mohammad was predicted by name in the bible since Periqlytos means Ahmad.

NB:
I thought the Holy spirit has been around right from the creation of the world according to Genesis 1:2.
There were reported case of the Holy spirit visiting Jesus in form of a dove while he was alive even when he was being baptized.

DevotedOne: Bismillaah ir Rahmaan ir Rahiim As salaam alaykum. The comforter that Jesus PBUH spoke of is the Holy Spirit that will indwell the Chosen one initiated for the anointing re: Christ/Logos.

Wassalaam. DevotedOne

To begin with, what does the Greek word "Periclytos" stands for?

Tbaba

Why are these christians becoming more desperate all of a sudden?

DID ISLAM SPREAD BY FORCE, SWORDS OR GUNS?

The unequivocal and emphatic answer is NO! The Quran declares:

"Let there be no compulsion (or coercion) in the religion (Islam). The right direction is distinctly clear from error." [Noble Quran 2:256]

Here is a good study of the question of the spread of Islam by a Christian missionary, T. W. Arnold:

"...of any organized attempt to force the acceptance of Islam on the non-Muslim population, or of any systematic persecution intended to stamp out the Christian religion, we hear nothing. Had the caliphs chosen to adopt either course of action, they might have swept away Christianity as easily as Ferdinand and Isabella drove Islam out of Spain, or Louis XIV made Protestantism penal in France, or the Jews were kept out of England for 350 years. The Eastern Churches in Asia were entirely cut off from communion with the rest of Christiandom throughout which no one would have been found to lift a finger on their behalf, as heretical communions. So that the very survival of these Churches to the present day is a strong proof of the generally tolerant attitude of Mohammedan [sic] governments towards them".

Islam does not teach, nor do Muslims desire, conversion of any people for fear, greed, marriage or any other form of coercion.

There are a thousand and one questions christians need to answer about Jesus, christianity, pope, church, among others instead of washing their dirty linen in the open.

truthman2012:

I want the muslims to react to the questions first before I conclude that the quran is a bunch of falsehood and confusion.

What exactly is your confusion?

You already have a preconceived notion that no matter what these people tell you it aint going to change anything. Your heart is sealed and it is forever sealed.

"Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment." - Surah al-Baqarah verses 6-7.

xmasgift:

Photocopy of what??

Please let me hear what he has to say now so I can know the kind of response to give him.

danielonyisi: no passage in d bible supports gay u hear.nt like quaran that supports violence

You are right!
Only God knows the devil that entered your heart when you were about typing the second sentence.

Mintayo:

Like the law in the Bible is not the 1 in d quaran,u v also 4goten that d quran is a fotocopied work of the Bible!

I have interest in this sir
I will like to know exactly what you mean.

babyosisi:

It is you folks that search the Bible trying to prove Mohammed in the Bible and validate the Koran.

Madam, actually "Muhammad in the bible" was written by David Benjamin Keldani a former Roman Catholic Bishop of the Uniate Chaldean.

frosbel:

what laws do you have in the Quran that can match the ten commandments in the old testament bible or the beatitudes in the new testament bible ?

Don't even start before we open a can of worms here !

Please remind me what the first commandment says. No pun intended.

donroxy: @ truth man 2012 .....


Ur question has been answered by Tbaba ... Which further clarification do u want ......

Discussion must be held Logically and constructively not dilly-dallying ....... I am expecting u to scripturally argue against what Tbaba has posted so far but u jumped to the chronological order of the Quran.......

U ve to read abt the revealation of the Quran, those that write the quran/memorise it MUST read what they have memorised back to Muhammed........



Am expecting u to bringforth area that's not clear 2 u in d quran!!!


Also, Upon all what Tbaba has posted to u,all u can tell him is '' next thing is ur life is SALVATION''


Truthman, Counter each and every claims/assertions by Tbaba not jumping from Abraham to moses-jesus-noah!!!

One million likes!!!

.

omenziate: So if are white and living in America, u are a christian by default? what happened to being agnostic, atheist, Jew amongst other plethora of religions. Muslims with their garbled logic. No wonder allah is just a vampirish god and mohammed notin but a serial pa”e”dophil”e Moreover, how many muslims syrians are dead and why aint the muslim world doing nada abt it.? RIP to the dead and may God grant the families the fortitude to bear the loss.

I need to throw the questions back to you. So if are black and living in northern Nigeria, you are a Muslim by default? What happened to being agnostic, atheist, christian, jew among plethora of religions.

I just have to be more sensible than you not to insult your faith no matter by how much I'm not in support of it. You need to start during the same.

talk2xp: Stjudas, nice one. You have succeeded in diverting this trend. I doubt if you are a moslem and your aim was to use this decoy that some people followed to attack another faith. Sure you are all smiles now but have this at the back of your mind that "the evil that men do now live with them". For all those talking with anger and so much hate about another faith my submission is that you just want to heart out your feelings with or without this decoy. No religion and I repeat no religion preaches hate. Most of you are well read and I challenge you to do your research from the pre-islamic days and the time of Mohammed, his preaching in Mecca,Medina,Syria and Ethiopia. His relationship with the Christians and the Jews and his relationship with the Idol worshipers before the "Jihad". Why he sent his followers to the live with the arch bishop in Ethiopia. His preachings and how he described Jesus Christ, Abraham, Moses, David, the Virgin Mary and even Christianity.Why he never had any confrontation with the Christians and the Jews. Why he fasted with the Jews and lived freely with the Christians in Medina and Mecca. I beat my chest because I decided to put hate aside to dig deep into this so much hated religion. Yes, you can refer to some verses in the Quran but you will only be unfair if you just treat sensitive matter only from the surface. We never passed an exam by only understanding the definition of a topic,course or subject. God is love and love is God. Thank you.

Very thoughtful I must say.

efjay: You be mad man. And u think dis is a good news abi? Do u have a family in america? Bloody Terrorist and bloody religion. Oloshi oloriburuku omo irankiran. I guess dat,s d kind of news dat your blood thirsty god cald allah like. Allah akbar. DEMONS!!!

Are you really this gullible? Where did he tell you he is a Muslim?
I assume he is one of these confused anti-yankee people.
I'll implore you to check his profile maybe you will stop abusing people's faith.

babyosisi:

please get over yourselves
when your brothers kill they shout allahu akhbar and tell us it is for allah's sake then Mulsims are out in the streets from Kano to Islamabad celebrating the killings
no other religion or followers do that
no other religion tells you they are killing for their God.
big difference
even in Nigeria MEND and BOko Haram are not fighting the same course

Please proof to me he didn't say the lord's prayer before leaving home.
I can't remember just one instance a Muslim carried gun and shot at fellow Muslims and they were celebration in Kano and Pakistan.
Which religion tells you they are killing for their God? Is that what you were brain washed with?
MEND and Boko Haram to me are just political establishments, they both have nothing to do with religion.

nagoma: I Am sure this killer of children is a Christian and that's why they describe him as gun man.(so dignified somewhat like gateman, ice-cream man or even chairman). If a Muslim attacked one person , it would be terrorism.

They will call him an islamist therefore I'm changing the title to "Christianist Kills 27 Including Children At An Elementary School."

stjudas: Allah has turned the infidels against themselves. America, UK, Israel and France shall fall and the Islamic State shall rule the world.... I'm sure all true muslims feel the way I feel... More of this, i pray for. Allahu akbar!!!

You don't need to say that at all.
