.i'll tell you why christianity isnt a religion

you don't have to tell us what we already know! christainity is no religion, its a way of life.(i wonder if you knew that)
Re: Challenges to Christians(proof yourself) by doyenn(m): 4:19pm On Jun 20, 2007
Aproko

since you know that it's not a religion,why then are they confusing people with d so called Jesus is calling you. They even went to the extent of placing a billboard on road side advertising Jesus. Is that a sensible thing.why cant they just confess of their sins and turn to God.

@ doyenn, many like you have come purporting to be merely "asking questions" only to disappear as soon as the fraud of islam has been exposed. If you want to start a fire make sure you are prepared to take the heat too!

doyenn:

.1) in a simple terms,clarify b/w Lord & God, and state any differences b/w them

Can you clarify between 6 and half a dozen?

doyenn:

.2) why do you refer jesus as son of God

Because by faith HE is. Unfortunately since you are interpreting things from the standpoint of islam you can never understand where we to explain to you from now till tomorrow.

doyenn:

.3) what brought jesus to the world and what are the messages he brought

He came that me and you could be saved from eternity in hell. He brought the message of faith, healing and salvation.

doyenn:

.4) to whom jesus was sent to and why

First He was sent to the Jews - Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

then after His death, the temple veil was rent apart and He no longer dwelt in temples built with hands but in the hearts of each and everyone who is accepting of Him.
Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

doyenn:

.5) is there any verse in the bible where jesus refer himself as son of God or even God

Son of God
John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you

John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

God
John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?


doyenn:

.6) what is bible and in what language was it reveal to jesus

Thou shalt not compare the bible to the quran. The bible is the Word of God. It was NOT revealed to Jesus because He certainly NEVER claimed to have come with any books.

doyenn:

.7) how many prophet was in the world with jesus and state the name(s)

Of what relevance is this? John the Baptist came to prepare the way for Jesus Christ.

doyenn:

8.) what book do the other prophet use in passing message across to people

Many of the prophets in the bible from the times of the judges are known to have read from the books of Moses. The laws which God gave them before coming to the promised land. An example - Ezra.

doyenn:

answer those questions first before i continue,u'll soon know who is really doing the right thing

We have heard this before, most of you simply never showed up again as soon as u were confronted with superior argument rather than the lame gnashing of teeth, tears and tantrums you muslims throw anytime you are confronted with the illogicallity of that which you claim to believe.

@davidylan,

davidylan:

@ doyenn, many like you have come purporting to be merely "asking questions" only to disappear as soon as the fraud of islam has been exposed. If you want to start a fire make sure you are prepared to take the heat too!

Perhaps, that sould have read: "If you want to start a fire, gather much firewood - and dry ones that burn quickly so that there's not much smoke!"  grin


@doyenn,

I'm wondering what you were trying to "prove" by opening this thread. You called them "challenges" - but it's rather turning to a circus that you disappeared when Christians showed up! Is that another episode to nyabinghi's drama of developing cold feet?  cheesy

doyenn:

.5) is there any verse in the bible where jesus refer himself as son of God or even God

Yes - and davidylan has given you some. In addition, here are a few verses that you should never forget:

JOHN 10:36  -- Jesus said:
"Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

       John 9: (35)  Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found
       him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

       (36)  He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? (37)  And
       Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
       (38)  And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

       John 19:7  The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought
       to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

       Mark 14: (61) But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest
      asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? (62)  And
      Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
      and coming in the clouds of heaven.

       Matt. 27:43  He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him:
       for he said, I am the Son of God.

I hope you can see them now? Cheers.  wink

Okay. After you have read the Christian responses so far, coud you take them home and wonder about how it is that the "scholars" didn't show you these stuff before you put up the challenges.

One thing though: since you said that you can assist anyone who needs to know about Islam based on the idea that what you have heard cannot be overlooked, I have a proposition for you. Here:

According to the Qur'an (Sura 19:71), it is clearly stated that EVERY muslim will be made
to ENTER hell fire by an irrevocable decree. Can you please tell me why that has to occur
even though Muslims claim to be following the best religion? Thanks.

doyenn:

there are lots of scores to settle b/w me and the fellow christians.let's start here

We have heard this before, most of you simply never showed up again as soon as u were confronted with superior argument rather than the lame gnashing of teeth, tears and tantrums you muslims throw anytime you are confronted with the illogicallity of that which you claim to believe.





From the answer you gave to some of my questions,it shows that you're not a religious person

1 In my first question,you told me to differentiate b/w 6 & a half,does it mean that those who are referring Jesus as their Lord wld not be wrong to referred to him as their God. People who refer Jesus as their Lord does not really know if Lord & God are the same so they went further to call him God.If you go to any church today,jesus is what most people are worshipping because they believe he's God and this make them to 4get that Jesus was created the same way as me & you. No regard was given in any way to the creator of Jesus himself.

2 what do you mean by faith he is the son of God. cld you explain better?


3 Any prophet that was sent to the world was sent on a particular mission with a specific tools to use in his preaching to convince the people of that time. The unbeliever in the time of Abraham was full of magical powers and any prophet that would challenge them must be able to proof that God has more magic power than they do so Abraham was given this power stick that he uses whenever there is a need for it. It was when he threw the stick and the stick changed to a big snake that swallows their snake was when some of their people cld believe God is great and some of them have to change. So their is nothing special in the healings that Jesus did for his people,those healings was the option he had in convincing his people and this does not make him God or more rated than other prophet.

4.Jesus was sent to the lost sheep and nothing else. the biggest mistake of your life is that you believe he's dead. if you die with this believe then you're done for it. Jesus is coming back to this world because he's not dead yet. God said,any life that has tasted dealth would not come back to life. it's because Jesus is not dead,that was why he's coming back. there is more to his coming back,he's not coming to save people alone but to do his own personal work as promised by God. He requested for something based on what he sees and god promise him but only at the end of time.

5 Jesus said father does not mean the father we know here,jesus said to his people that know one shld call anyone his father on earth because the only father is in heaven which means he refer to God as father and not biological father.


6 bible was reveal to Jesus,mind you,none of the prophet cam with book,it was reveal them. defifnitely you can not compare it to the Holy Q'uran because it's a section of all the msg in the Q'uran. the Q'uran was what Jesus referred to as the word that was with God in the beginning.

7. Go and make your findings well.there was 2 prophet in the time of Jesus.


My point is that,let's stop using Jesus to preach falshood to people,he preaches the word of God to his people,he didnt preach how to make money or perform miracles. he heal those he feels needed to be healed so that they would believe in his teachings that God can do more miracles in their life. He does not in any way preaches wealth or make people rich because he himself is not a rich person.

To you Bari kade,

why cant you try and read the history of all this people that appears in the bible's quote.

The prophet made us know who among his disciples we can follow because not all of them is followable. He chooses the best for us to follow and those he choses has been given a reward by God himself for their impart in God's work. So all this mathew,mark and bla bla bla are not prophet and their words should be carefully question and confirm b4 it is followed.

In Islam,we check the words of God on any thing we want to do,if the language used is not so clear to us,we check the hadith to see how the prophet implement it. Others go into details by checking how those chosen disciples also treated it b4 they clearly understands it. so bari kade endavour to know the nuks and crany of everything and not just what ordinary people like you say.

there is now verse where jesus answer yes when they ask him if he's the son of God. Let me reveal this to you,part of what Jesus is coming to do is to tell you people that he is not the son o God and God.

go and find out more about what he's coming to do. submit your findings and let's have a debate.
Re: Challenges to Christians(proof yourself) by pilgrim1(f): 10:15pm On Jul 07, 2007
@doyenn,

doyenn:

No regard was given in any way to the creator of Jesus himself.

Jesus was not created - and you cannot use the Qur'an to scrutinize the Bible.

doyenn:

3 Any prophet that was sent to the world was sent on a particular mission with a specific tools to use in his preaching to convince the people of that time. The unbeliever in the time of Abraham was full of magical powers and any prophet that would challenge them must be able to proof that God has more magic power than they do so Abraham was given this power stick that he uses whenever there is a need for it. It was when he threw the stick and the stick changed to a big snake that swallows their snake was when some of their people cld believe God is great and some of them have to change.

Go and read your Qur'an a second time and take note of what it says. You're confusing Abraham for Moses.

Secondly, I hope you realize that your Qur'an also speaks of the book of Abraham?

doyenn:

So their is nothing special in the healings that Jesus did for his people,those healings was the option he had in convincing his people and this does not make him God or more rated than other prophet.

Jesus actually performed miracles to demonstrate His deity -- " If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father." - John 15:24.

In another thread, I have also queried if Muhammad performed any miracles; and the idea that Muslims give that he did was soundly debunked. If you're stating here that Jesus' miracles is "nothing special", why did Muhammad not perform a single miracle?

doyenn:

4.Jesus was sent to the lost sheep and nothing else.

In which case Muhammad was not even sent. If that is a hard line to swallow, try not denying the Bible based on what Muhammad said in the Qur'an. The Bible demonstrates that Jesus Christ was sent to the world -- "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. " (John 3:16).

doyenn:

5 Jesus said father does not mean the father we know here,jesus said to his people that know one shld call anyone his father on earth because the only father is in heaven which means he refer to God as father and not biological father.

Good then. I have a question: is there anywhere in the religious career where Muhammad referred to God as Father?

doyenn:

6 bible was reveal to Jesus,mind you,none of the prophet cam with book,it was reveal them. defifnitely you can not compare it to the Holy Q'uran because it's a section of all the msg in the Q'uran. the Q'uran was what Jesus referred to as the word that was with God in the beginning.

You've clearly confused your answers here.  The Qur'an does not teach that the BIBLE was revealed to Jesus; rather, it was the Injil (Gospel) that Muhammad believed was revealed to Jesus.

Secondly, when you say that "none of the prophet cam(e) with book", you make a mistake about what the Qur'an teaches - it clearly says that they were given books!!

doyenn:

7. Go and make your findings well.there was 2 prophet in the time of Jesus.

Names, please?

doyenn:

My point is that,let's stop using Jesus to preach falshood to people,he preaches the word of God to his people,he didnt preach how to make money or perform miracles. he heal those he feels needed to be healed so that they would believe in his teachings that God can do more miracles in their life. He does not in any way preaches wealth or make people rich because he himself is not a rich person.

Maybe a good point you "tried" to make. But that message should have been directed to Muslims, who don't even believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ in the first place.

So all this mathew,mark and bla bla bla are not prophet and their words should be carefully question and confirm before it is followed.

1. Which of their words have Muslims ever tried to confirm?

2. On the one hand, Muslims distrust the Gospels; but on the other hand, they try every now and then to "prove" that Muhammad was in the Gospel of John.

3. Meanwhile, bari_kade's answers to your question remains fact to the point that you have no idea whatsoever what the Bible teaches (nor have you demonstrated at all that you know your Qur'an).

doyenn:

In Islam,we check the words of God on any thing we want to do,if the language used is not so clear to us,we check the hadith to see how the prophet implement it. Others go into details by checking how those chosen disciples also treated it before they clearly understands it. so bari kade endavour to know the nuks and crany of everything and not just what ordinary people like you say.

This is almost sounding like Muslims question the Qur'an before agreeing on which part they can implement and which part they have to re-interprete for their own ends. It is not surprising then that the same Gospels which Muslims deny are the same ones they try to use in defending Muhammad in the Gospel of John.

doyenn:

there is now verse where jesus answer yes when they ask him if he's the son of God.

There is no verse where Jesus answered "NO" when they asked Him if He was the Son of God. The verses offered by bari_kade show exactly that He stated He was (and is) the Son of God --


Mark 14: (61) But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest
asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? (62) And
Jesus said, I am
: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Matt. 27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him:
for he said, I am the Son of God.

Did that sound like Jesus was denying He was the Son of God?

doyenn:

Let me reveal this to you,part of what Jesus is coming to do is to tell you people that he is not the son o God and God.

Infact, part of what Jesus is coming to do is to confirm that He is indeed the Son of God.

doyenn:

- Unless you can convince me that your mother was a virgin when you were born it will be erroneous to declare that Jesus Christ was created the same way as you and me born of a father and a mother.
- there is NO difference between Lord and God, the dichotomy is only being introduced by mischeivous muslims who seek to find errors where there is none.

So their is nothing special in the healings that Jesus did for his people,those healings was the option he had in convincing his people and this does not make him God or more rated than other prophet.

grin grin grin grin grin grin Please pardon me, i just had to laugh at this. Did you write this while in a hurry?
The bible clearly indicates that the Miracle of the staff that turned into a snake was performed by Moses under the instructions of God as a sign to Pharaoh that God truly had sent him. No where do i read of Abraham performing the same "magic".
- If indeed there is nothing special in the miracles of Jesus Christ, why was Muhammad unable to perform JUST ONE in order to prove to the people asking him at that time for validity of his prophethood?

- No, unlike islam prophets in the bible are not ranked in any order and ALL prophets performed one miracle or the other to validate their prophethood.
- Can you please point to one from mohammed rather than struggling to discredit those already recorded?

doyenn:

4.Jesus was sent to the lost sheep and nothing else. the biggest mistake of your life is that you believe he's dead. if you die with this believe then you're done for it. Jesus is coming back to this world because he's not dead yet. God said,any life that has tasted dealth would not come back to life. it's because Jesus is not dead,that was why he's coming back. there is more to his coming back,he's not coming to save people alone but to do his own personal work as promised by God. He requested for something based on what he sees and god promise him but only at the end of time.

Where did you get this piece from?

doyenn:

5 Jesus said father does not mean the father we know here,jesus said to his people that know one shld call anyone his father on earth because the only father is in heaven which means he refer to God as father and not biological father.

the same Jesus Christ told the doubting phillip that if he had seen Him then he had just seen the father. that should be clear enough.

doyenn:

6 bible was reveal to Jesus,mind you,none of the prophet cam with book,it was reveal them. defifnitely you can not compare it to the Holy Q'uran because it's a section of all the msg in the Q'uran. the Q'uran was what Jesus referred to as the word that was with God in the beginning.

the bible was not revealed to Jesus, its only a lie of the quran. According to John chapter 1, the Word was GOD!

doyenn:

7. Go and make your findings well.there was 2 prophet in the time of Jesus.

Mind telling me who those prophets were?

doyenn,

None of the prophets could forgive sins, Jesus can (& did) because only God can forgive sins; as in the woman taken in adultery, "Go and sin no more."

How could Jesus do this, because HE IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.

Jesus can never 4give ani sin because he does not have the power to do so. What he does is pray God to seek people's 4giveness and because he's whom he's,his prayer would be answered so that he can do his healings.If those people were not been 4giving at that moment,the healing would no be possible and people would shel him with stones.

God is doing that favor for people through Jesus and at the same time,protectng Jesus from their hands because if he does not succeed healing them,i thin you know this people they would attempt killin him. maybe you think God cant do the mirace without Jesus being there. Jesus was not there when Mary have he pregnancy and that same God can do it all without sending anybody.this should teach you a lesson that,God want Jesus to be among the his favourites and that's all. 4get every other things.

Why can't you now face this God directly,find out how he instructed us to conduct worship,his ways and all things and let's see if you really are knowledgeable about it.

please this thread isn't started to go against Jesus because I know all about him even more than what you knew. All your references is from someone who's close to him and not the Jesus himself. Dont argue if you don't have facts. I would not reply to you again because i can see you dnt know what your'e saying.

I know most of you does not know the roots of everything ut people like davidylan is a wolf in man's clothing.

Some christians believe that it was God himself that left the heaven, came to earth, took human form, eat and drink like we and allowed his creation to kill him. He shouted to himself for forsaken him on the cross.

So he didnt send his begotten son but himself because some say that Jesus is God. So he must have sent himself.


God is three in one so they say. God is the father, God is the son, God is the Holy spirit but at the same time, these three are not equal


Also in the bible, blasphemy against the Holy spirit has no forgiveness but blasphemy against son of man has forgiveness. This goes to show that the doctrine of trinity was a later insertion which prophets before Jesus never preached. There is a clear difference between the three.

Correct.
If your preacher, teacher, minister, deacon or any other religious leader really cared, he would take time out to research the original language, rather than rely on poor translations. If they knew how to translate from the original Syriac (Arabic) and Galilean Arabic, the verse 1 John 5:7 that you are familiar with today did not exist. Neither did it exist in the original Hebrew and Greek that were translated from these original languages. It wasn’t until the onset of the Roman Catholic Church that this distortion was made. The Roman Catholics[b] inserted[/b] the trinity verse when they tranlated the bible from Greek to Latin. Notice I say[b] “inserted”[/b] and not [b]“translated” [/b]because, as I already said, the original Greek did not have this verse. However, you will find some Greek translations that have been translated from Latin or English, and it is in these Greek translations that you will find either the whole trinity verse or only a portion of it.

1 John 5:7 is surrounded in controversy because there are two versions of this verse. So-called scholars say the verse used in most bibles today is either not the original verse, or they say that it is only partially genuine. These so-called scholars continue to argue back and forth on this subject because they really don’t want to admit that the trinity really has no basis in the teachings of Jesus.

I will refer to the Holy Bible from Ancient Manuscripts by George M. Lamsa, which is a bible that is translated from the original Aramic or Syriac language . . :

6 ¶This is he who came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood.
7 And the Spirit testifies that that very Spirit is the truth.
8 And there are three to bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are one.

When you read 1 John 5:7 in your standard bible, which in this case is the Ryrie Study Bible (King James Version). . . you will read this:

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Do you see what happened? . . . You will find that the original verse 5:7, has been actually pushed up to merge with verse 5:6.

@doyenn,

doyenn:

Jesus can never 4give ani sin because he does not have the power to do so. What he does is pray God to seek people's 4giveness and because he's whom he's,his prayer would be answered so that he can do his healings.If those people were not been 4giving at that moment,the healing would no be possible and people would shel him with stones.

I've been quite reserved all along and taken it easy with you as I recognized you often post as a child. However, I'd like you to grow up and cease dribbling round issues you know next to nothing about.

Jesus had the power to forgive sins, and He demonstrated it clearly when He connected it with the healings He granted those who came seeking Him:

'But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins,
(he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch,
and go into thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.' -- (Luke 5:24 & 25)

If He did not have the power to forgive sins in just the same way that He had the power to heal the sick, then you would not have been reading that from the Bible of Him.

Now let me ask you: if Muhammad had any power to ask forgiveness for anyone, why do we not read at all in the Qur'an that he performed a single miracle? I have asked this question before, but after dancing round the question with lame excuses, not one of your fellow brethren who are backslapping you was able to provide a single verse in the Qur'an where such a thing happened in Muhammad's career.

doyenn:

God is doing that favor for people through Jesus and at the same time,protectng Jesus from their hands because if he does not succeed healing them,i thin you know this people they would attempt killin him.

For all the miracles Jesus performed, He still went to the Cross as had been prophesied about Him centuries earlier (e.g., see Isaiah 53). Even greater than any miracle He performed on sick folks, the resurrection stands above them all. What protection did He need from mere men with all their armies and weapons, when He defeated death and brought life and immortality to all who would believe in Him?

Again I ask you: how has Muhammad defeated death even for himself before speaking of the hope you may think you have in following him?

doyenn:

maybe you think God can't do the mirace without Jesus being there. Jesus was not there when Mary have he pregnancy and that same God can do it all without sending anybody.this should teach you a lesson that,God want Jesus to be among the his favourites and that's all. forget every other things.

That's the same lyrics that Islam has tried to sing all through the ages - "forget every other things". The problem is that nobody is going to forget what Islam has tried to make others forget; and we are still asking why Muhammad was unable to perform a single miracle in the face of your apologies above?

doyenn:

Why can't you now face this God directly,find out how he instructed us to conduct worship,his ways and all things and let's see if you really are knowledgeable about it.

What specific ways do you know that God instructed us to worship Him, since you're inadvertently pretending to be knowledgeable? Did you not claim ab initio that: 'i'll tell you your story from the beginning to the end so that you'll know who actually practising the right religion'? Na you start the thread, so we are waiting for answers.

doyenn:

please this thread isn't started to go against Jesus because I know all about him even more than what you knew.

We are all too familiar now with silly locutions like the above. It's only a matter of time before your adulators begin to do the direct opposite of your claim of not going against Jesus. You know all about Jesus, not so? Cool down, questions go greet you soon.

doyenn:

All your references is from someone who's close to him and not the Jesus himself. Dont argue if you don't have facts. I would not reply to you again because i can see you dnt know what your'e saying.

What references have you Muslims been quoting in support of Muhammad's religion? I simply want to know, incase you're trying to hide behind that cavalier excuse.

doyenn:

I know most of you does not know the roots of everything ut people like davidylan is a wolf in man's clothing.

For telling you the truth you don't like to hear about your religion, not so?

doyenn:

You still have not grab the purpose of this thread.

Save your breath, it's just about time YOU began answering questions. Running away from other threads where questions are still waiting for you, it has become the Islamic practice with you to set up yourself as chief enquirer of others while dodging issues.

babs787:

Some christians believe that it was God himself that left the heaven, came to earth, took human form, eat and drink like we and allowed his creation to kill him. He shouted to himself for forsaken him on the cross.

Keep playing the mischievous game, but when queries about Muhammad's adventures are posted you flare up like you were stung. If you want to know what some Muslims believe about the Allah of Islam, then we could show you. Since you're given to mischief, please don't cry foul when your own broth is served.

babs787:

Also in the bible, blasphemy against the Holy spirit has no forgiveness but blasphemy against son of man has forgiveness. This goes to show that the doctrine of trinity was a later insertion which prophets before Jesus never preached. There is a clear difference between the three.

The one simple question I'd like to ask is this: why is it that Muhammad did not make any reference to the prophets who taught the Trinity - Isaiah and Zachariah?

If the doctrine of the Trinity was a latter assertion, why have Muslims been sweating to "prove" that Muhammad was prophesied in Deuteronomy and the Gospel of John?



@Horus,

Even if 1 John 5:17 was not in the Bible at all, you still read of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) in other verses of the Bible. So, trying to play the same games Muslims have been playing for centuries only makes them happy in the lullaby; but when you begin to ask questions about the Allah of the Qur'an, then I will sit back and laugh at the exchanges between you guys.
