Seun this is a Muslim opening threads to denigrate Christ and Christianity without having to swear any oaths or being accused of christophobia.
If we Christians want to return the favor in the exclusive section for Muslims, we have to first swear am oath of being Muslims and we still get banned as a result.
We are watching your and your crusade against Christian faith on this forum

Seun will do the needful, if you and other enemies of Allah are ready to testify that Jesus accepted and agreed on the following as against your OVERBLOWN, OVERRATED AND OVERPRAISED of him.
1. "...... I do NOTHING on my OWN AUTHORITY...." JOHN 8:28
2. " I can DO NOTHING on my OWN AUTHORITY......l seek NOTHING on my OWN WILL but the WILL OF HIM WHO SEND me" John 5: 30.
3. " Truly, truly l say to you, a servant is not greater than his Master, NOR he who is SENT ( not INCARNATED) is greater THAN HE WHO sent him...." John 13:16.
4. " I glorified Thee (Almighty God) on earth..." John 17:4.
5. "...... for Father (God) is GREATER THAN l" John 14:28.
When stop parroting, trumpeting, roaring Jesus is "dis and dat" as obviously against and conspicuously contrary to the above, we muslims in the forum will join you in appealing to Seun; even if he asks you to pay, we will contribute, despite the fact that we know one Sunday big church income is more than enough for such payment.

Your article is meaningless. Did you ascribe to any theological doctrine before you got an exclusive section where any thread with the littlest wisp of degrading Islam or your prophet is immediately aborted and the op banned

I thought Islam is just and fair?

..............
Just as a 10yr experience is short-scripted in a 2hr movie..so is the Bible a summary of Times and God's word noting key events.
Jesus saw 2 brothers - was a summary event
John account was detailed how he saw them - Andrew found(went to call) his brother to meet Jesus.
Imagine Jesus (the popular figure at the time) at a spot seeing Andrew.. Andrew rushed to call Simon -guy leave wat ure doing Jesus is outside wants to see us i cant go alone... Come..
Then Jesus talked to both.
The reporter (book Matthew & Mark) only saw where Jesus talked to both.. he didnt see the intro. 👌🏼

The summary is that Jesus CALLED (meaning Appointing them disciples..not the literal 'come') both.. however they were found.

If a couple is giving report of their issues... The wife will definitely say it differently from the husband. Which will look like either is lying. Or if ur kids are reporting an event u witnessed to you.. they will say it differently but u know what they are trying to say.

The Bible is a mystery book of Logos (just letters & reports) and Rhema (the revealed word)... A feint logic reader can't understand but argue. (This is perfectly understandable).
The Logos are much more (in quantity) than the Rhema.. and unfortunately they are scattered (unarranged perfectly)

Just calm down... Only the HolySpirit can guide.

And talking about your Holy Spirit is a other hotbed of Confusion.

In the Gospel of Mathew, Mark and Luke we read of many episode where the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost manifest. In fact in dozens of encounters yet the Gospel of John told us that the Holy Spirit will only come after Jesus must have left.

I can show you all those verses but as usual when we do, will be refered to Rhema, Logos and many Sunday School Bull Turd. So, Padre dey your dey and let the Muslims dey their dey.

Don't get me wrong and I hope seun does not too.
I'm not saying you have no right to write whatever you want about Christianity. Christians don't believe in restricting speech or thoughts.
What I'm calling attention to is that you freely open threads demeaning to Christianity on the "religion" section without having to swear an oath of being a Christian or animist while a Christian who wants to return the favor by opening a thread questioning Islam on the Islam section can't do same except he first swears an oath and even afterwards, he risks being banned by the obviously islamist mods who also find it offensive to their religion.

It is that hypocrisy of you Muslims enabled by Seun that I'm calling out.

And for the records, Antiislam moniker came after yours. It's a response to your obviously hateful and bigoted moniker and I'm sure it has been banned along the line while yours roams free

You're right, Antiislam came after AntiChristian, they try banning Antiislam from saying the truth but God pass them

YES! John 14:14. He prayed to his father in heaven and not like Islamic Allah that prayed to an unknown incarnate along with his Angels when they both prayed for Muhammad

Islamic Allah with his angels prayed to an unknown incarnate when they prayed for muhammad. You need to address that catastrophic in your religion why did Allah prayed to another incarnate if truly he is almighty?

Read the post I responded to. It says that Muslim that want a Miracle must first believe in Jesus for Miracle to happen.

Then I humbly ask, the man Jesus raised, was he a believer in Jesus before his death or after he was raised? If he never believed in Jesus before his supposed death and he was raised from death, then pray that Antichrist get his Kuwaiti Dollar then you can win his soul for Jesus.

Yeah, go ahead and pray for him to get the One Million Kuwaiti Dollar, I am sure sure he will pay a hefty sum in Thanksgiving and in Regular Tithes too.

John 11

11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”

4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

8 “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”

9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.

10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”

11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”

12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”

13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.

14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”


17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

18 Now Bethany was less than two miles[b] from Jerusalem,

19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.

20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.

21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”

23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”

29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.

“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.

35 Jesus wept.

36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”

37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”

38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

39 “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”

40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.

46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.

“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.

48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”

49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,

52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.

53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.

54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.

55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover.

56 They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, “What do you think? Isn’t he coming to the festival at all?”

57 But the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where Jesus was should report it so that they might arrest him.
