Why should we? I tried wishing them on the Eid el fitri post this morning and it seems the mods made it compulsory I declare myself to be a Muslim before I'm able to post... Like seriously?? Why take it that far?? Is that how it's done during Xmas??

It only fake believers that practices what you are doing. Go to the north, you wouldn't see any Hausa/Fulani moslem accepting easter or Christmas meat(food) from Christians.

You can also visit the former eastern region and check if you will find any indigenous Christian accepting food or meat from moslems during their festivals

Yorubas are our major problem in Nigeria as a nation. They don't know what is abomination is religion or politics. No different between Yoruba Moslems and Christians. They can freely share their place of worship with each other. The will eat anything eatable and married themselves regardless of what their religious holy book said. Yoruba attached no value to their religious belief but their personal comfort

That's why Yoruba's are at peace with each other. They are civilized, tolerant and other tribes should follow this example. I am a northerner and I envy this practice and way of life

how does this Bible quote concern food wey Dem go chop. Is there a righteous or unrighteous food?

According to Judaism and Islam yes.
Muslims can eat meat killed according to Jewish rites.
Jews do not eat Halal meat

Jews don't eat Camel,any fish without scales,crayfish,shrimp, prawns crabs etc

Christian's are confused

Yoruba eat everything

You're absolutely correct, I have no problems with Muslims whatsoever, but I know quite a few, during their celebrations, I was quick to always construct messages wishing them well but during Christmas/Easter I never get any messages from them despite them viewing my status and all that..it became so glaring last Christmas and this easter and I vowed to stop sending them messages if they couldn't deem it fit to wish me well...Not like they need my messages or I need theirs but I found out that they may not be as tolerant as I am...this morning on my WhatsApp they are all posting, I viewed all and didn't wish them anything, my old self would have been constructing messages by now but not anymore. I felt its time I stopped fooling myself.

You have done well my dear sister. Is not a sin, but a sign being mature. But, don't hold grudges on them pls. God will increase your wisdom! Shalom!

It's considered a bit of an oddity for Christians to feast with moslems in iftar feast.

Today, I joined my friends in their iftar feast. It’s called being polite and a good neighbor. For years, I have invited Muslim friends to attend our Easter party and they have graciously attended year after year. So when they have a potluck when their month of fasting ends, I go to their party. It’s a Jesus thing. I wish more Christians would reach out in love as Jesus did.

Ok, That's my opinion, I need to hear your thoughts on this.
I just finished two plates of my neighbor's Salah food, I'm not cooking today, Free free food everywhere. I don't even care what Christianity says.

Quadranoo:
Na your problem if u eat it or not. I,as a Muslim do eat Easter and Christmas meal with my previous neighbor who are Christians and they do eat from our own Sallah food too.
But this past years, we rented our house to another Christian who is a Pastor, the first year of them being with us, me and my family accepted their Christmas food and ate it happily. But when it got to our own period of Sallah, we gave them Food, but the man told his children to reject the food, that they don't eat Festive food. Since that year, we also stop receiving their own Christmas/eastern food because it's not as if we are also hungry but we are accepting it because of Love for one another before.
So, the choice is yours, as for me eating Christmas/Easter food doesn't mean am denouncing my faith or because of Hunger but because of LOVE
those are not Christians.thats not what Jesus demanded from us.he didn't say show or accept love to a selected few.he said love your neighbours as Christ loved you.if at all your neighbour didn't want the food he shouldn't have made it obvious.ko fogbon sheyrara.at least he for accept am and even if he doesn't want to eat it,you give it to your dog codedly or give it out to someone else in true need like beggars.personally I'm always weary of collecting food from people these days but if a neighbour gives me food because they're doing Ramadan or the likes and I have reservations about it,I will collect it in love and gratitude from him, package it inside disposable pack and give to beggay because I understand that when neighbours or anybody gives you food it's not the food in itself but the effort in making it and the fact that they remember you is what I appreciate because Yorubas will say thank the person that saw you and eyed you,after all some pretend that you don't exist


For a neighbour to extend a hand of love and you openly rejected it is not wisdom at all.its not about the food.afterall you have food in your kitchen, it's the love and communal spirit.africa was 1 before oyinbo came and used religion to divide us
Re: Should Christians Share In Muslim IFTAR Meals? by esereme2019: 10:47am On May 24, 2020
So some of us are so holy that we claim we can't eat moslems festive foods, but on every other day, we buy, patronize and eat meals prepared by food vendors, mama put and their likes who are also moslems. Isn't this hypocrisy?
There's nothing to it, food is food and that doesn't make u less a Christian or more of a sinner.
At the end of it all, what matters most is weather you have a right standing relationship with God.

According to this jargons you wrote, assuming other tribes are like the 'Yorubas', this country would be a better place to live in because our Lord Jesus Christ preached about peace.
This is the kind of topic people like you should be quiet about instead of writing nonsense that compromise basic thinking.

So who told you that you will miss heaven because you eat food from an unbeliever. The only reason you will miss heaven is Not accepting Jesus as Ur permanent Saviour, every other thing won't make you miss heaven.

Why are we sooo religious that we tend to forget what is needed to make heaven. So you think if you only eat with Christians will make you to enter heaven than if you eat with a Muslim. I laff in Spanish.

Jesus Christ ate with unbelievers and it didn't affect his ministry on earth. So if Ur faith can carry the eating pls go ahead, but if you can't, then stay off it.

But whether you eat or not does not determine your eligibility to make heaven

keep on typing nonsense.. Mark 2 vs 16 and 17 .16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

you come to call the sinners too? or you are giving reasons to justify eating lambs and chickens they kill while incantating the name of allah as sacrifice.. Enter shrine too and dine with the native doctor

It is not out of place for anyone to eat from either Christian or Muslim home during any of the celebrations,I am Muslim,one of my closest friends of over 30yrs is strong Baptist,he Comes around during big Sallah (iléyá) And I do go to his house during Xmas.
In the past I with another Muslim friend usually slaughtered their New year goat.
Food from other Religion body is not Sacrifice, Allah has never forbidden me from eating their meal.
So if you find anyone who tells you otherwise, know for sure that they are these confused Pentecostals who are hell-bent on destroying the interreligious relationship.

That you wish to eat the food or not is choice, but don't say it is a sin, or put it on to religion, if you do you are just been ignorant.

Like someone said, there is just two commandments will need to follow in life. Love for God and love for your neighbor.

It's not all about reading Bible is about understanding it. Love supercedes everything.

Celebrate with your friends and be happy, this life na one.
