The old testament is very, very, very important too, and I'm not in anyway belittling it but the question that was asked about Jesus, the old testament would not answer it clearly. Apostle Paul clearly explained the new covenant of the blood of Jesus and why he is lord.
but come to think of it,is it possible for a God to die...
The same Jesus said:my father is greater than I and all?
How come is the Lord again?

Says a terrorist that will dagger people over petty things in the name of religion.

Says the one ready to kill their own daughters in honour killing for bringing a Christian man home for marriage.

Says the one ready to blow themselves up for 72 virgins

And so on ...

If you want to talk about stupidly insensitive ,look within your mosques.


And just so you know I have no problem with hindus ,buddists, atheists etc say but head slammers.

If I was as stupid, brainless and incurably foolish as you are, I would reply you with the same energy. But, I cherish my sanity. No matter how, I will avoid swimming in the stain of infamy with you.

Answer the following questions and decide.

1. Can your love truly cover everything?
2. Are you ready to convert to Islam?
3. What will be the spiritual focus of your family - Islam or Christian.
4. What values will you teach your children? Jesus is the only way for salvation, but your Daddy is....
5. Will there fighting from his family or yours?- She wants to change our son, She is taking our children to church. Don't baptize our children. Your parents might take same stance regarding you.
6. As a Christian, do you want to spend most of your prayer time for the rest of your life , praying for him to convert?
7. Are you ready to live with the chance of 3 other women joining the family as wives?
8. Most importantly, what does your Bible say about this? Go and read it. You will get the best counsel from it.

The present commitment of the man to his religious preference is of no importance. If he is not so committed today, he can become more committed tomorrow and vice versa.

He's so caring, kind, handsome, a good pay Job n from a humble home, I can't deny the fact that I Love him.

But the issue is that he's a Muslim while am a christian lady.

Do Muslim believe that Jesus Christ is lord, if not then they are unbelievers, that's what I mean.
here lies the misconception. Jesus is never Lord but servant of the Most High (God) just like Prophet Muhammed P.B.U.H . Furthermore, every real Muslims are mandated to belief in Prophet Issa (Jesus).

Fyi the Islamic teachers have specially instructed their educated young men to marry Christian young ladies irrespective of whatever the ladies think or believe.

For material wealth you could be sucked into a future you will regret greatly. There are enough movies and films showing the marriage union between faiths and the joys and sadness that follows. It can be scarry if the man of other religions turned and demand his religion should be followed. Anything can happen.

Tinubu family is a case, true. Ask yourself the question what is the religion of the children of the union? Does Pastor madam Tinubu goes to church alone or with the children? How does she cope with the children going to mosque while she goes to pastor a church ? Journalism does not ask all the questions.

All that glitters is not gold. Shine your eyes before jumping the boat.

If you as a Christian (woman) are married to a Muslim (Man) you believe all if fair, fine a d all rights if all children follow you to church and go against the faith of their father. But it is unfair and wrong when those children follow their father to the mosque. Why must we be selfish! Are children robots that you must dictate to them what God to must worship? If all Tinubu's children are all Muslim (as you said) why should the mother be worried as long as the religion is not foisted on them?

Like I said read your bible well you will see that God brought Jesus to his level as lord of all after he died on the cross.

You christian are very bad! My mum destroyed my sis relationship with a good Muslim brother. cheesy funny enough if she bring anymatter to me I use to remind of her decision that were bad!

I hate religious bigot , they're all foolz . I was in a canteen some years back when one deeper life brother came to buy food and couldn't pay completely.

The guy sitting close to me with triple sag jeans paid the meal do the deeper life brother.

I just laugh , after everyone left I told the food seller , had it been the deeperlife brother was the one eating with a lot of money on him, while the triple sag guy was the one broke, the deeper life people I sabi will see it has a punishment from God.

Most of you bigot will commit a lot of sin unknowingly .


Whatever the case, my preference was a Christian because I am a Christian. I didn't want to complicate my life and children's life with religious diversity.

That is not to say that there are no worthy Muslim men.

Tell that to your brothers moving around with daggers in their jalabia. They are the mfs who need to grow up.


Also don't forget to lecture your brothers strapping themselves with bombs for 72 virgins on how to grow up.

That's why one should not mix religion because of the consequences.

Let each religion marry each other
Mixed religious marriage carries it's own wahala
Although those in South West does it but from the East it's not possible

Why would you be asking this, Yes it's important. It doesn't matter how nice he is, as long as he is an unbeliever, he is disqualified. The bible say don't be unequally yoked ( marriage ) with unbelievers

Extremist verses.lol
Do you realise that the "don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers" was not referring to marriage but any form of relationship?

Do you have friends, business partners, family, boss that's an unbeliever?
Then you should cut them off from your life and stop associating with them.
You should only associate with fellow believers.

Cos if you have any unbeliever as a friend or family or business partner then you're as wrong as anyone who marries an unbeliever according to the verse you referenced.

Balance is very important. There are verses which balance this. Otherwise you become an extremist who is just a stone throw from being a terrorist fighting for his God.

This is where you must learn to have personal study and not swallow everything your pastor says hook line and sinker.

Juxtapose the verse you referenced 2 Cor 6:14 with 1 Cor 7:12-15

Also remember that Moses married an unbeliever from another tribe entirely.
Yet when his siblings complained about it, God himself defended him and even struck Miriam with leprosy.

My advice to the OP,

If you can marry a fellow Christian like you, it is advisable you do so cos it should help you both grow together as Christians.
But the bible does not forbid you from marrying an unbeliever. What you should be concerned with is that you both share core value systems together.
And you're both prepared with the challenges from family and society.

Imagine what you're saying. So you are the one to decide your kids faith? Kids must be allowed to choose their own faith irrespective of the background.

Nope....
You're the one who needs to imagine what you're saying...

So you give birth to a child today, and you allow the child to choose his faith today?? Listen, until a child get to an age where he can make decisions on his/her own, the decisions will always be made for that child by the parents...

A child of 3 can't decide if he wants to be a Christian or Muslim, at that point, he will most definitely be whatever the parent chooses for him (religious wise et Al)...

Guy whatever religion you practiced as a child is largely because of your parents (or whoever you grew up with)... If your parents were any other religion that's where you most likely would be as a kid or an adult (very few adults are in a religion different from whoever brought them up)

So what happens then??
