See, when it comes to the bible, it is so consistent with the truth that there really is no room for confusion. Actually God is a God of order and one would expect to find nothing but consistency and order in His words.
The Pope in an address in New York said that “humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.“.
“I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca.”
“The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds. God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.”
Let that sink in.
So first the Pope identifies himself with “my Muslim Brothers and Sisters”. Now, don’t get me wrong, but I love muslims. I have Muslim brothers and sisters and friends. But in faith are Muslims our brothers and sisters?
“The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray” (12:26). We should stay away from foolish people (13:20, 14:7), from people who lose their temper easily (22:24), and from the rebellious (24:21).
Although these close relationships are not recommended, it does not mean we turn our noses up and ignore unbelievers, either. Second Timothy 2:24-26 tells us that as servants of the Lord, we are to be kind to and not quarrel with anyone. We should gently teach those who oppose the truth, and be patient with difficult people. Matthew 5:16 tells us, “Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly father.” We should serve unbelievers so that they may see God through us and turn to Him in praise. James 5:16 says that there is great power in the prayer of a righteous person, so bring your concerns for unbelievers before God, and He will listen.
What does the Koran say about Non-Muslims?
(9:5) And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them and take them prisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, then leave their way free. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161
It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. – 8:67
Fight those who believe neither in God nor the Last Day, nor what has been forbidden by God and his messenger(Mohammed), nor acknowledge the religion of Truth(Islam), even if they are People of the Book (Christians), until they pay the tribute and have been humbled. – 9:29 (another source: ) The unbelievers are impure and their abode is hell. (another source: ) Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute.
Are Christians infidels? YES TO MUSLIMS. Anyone that does not profess the Shahada is an idolater (worships another God that is nor Allah).
So from the scratch of it, Christianity and Islam are the stack opposites and both hold relationships with non-believers at ‘arms length’. For Christians, it is either to preach to the unbeliever or stay clear lest their influence compromises your faith. For the Muslims, well it says kill! (And the results, every 5 Minutes A Christian is Killed )
But how does the Pope then a man that professes Christianity call a Muslim his brother?
Well maybe because deep down, Islam and Catholicism are one? How?
Well for one, Muslims believe God cannot die.

“And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger –they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain”. S. 4:157
The closest Muslims come to the cross is admitting someone else was crucified or ‘it appeared to the people present’ that they crucified someone.
Now the Pope in His statement has said that ‘humanly speaking” Jesus died.
The common denominator in Islam and Catholicism is that “someone HUMAN” called Jesus died, but God did not die. (According to Islam God cannot die and now according to the pope just the ‘human’ Jesus died, not the “Jesus-Jesus”).
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22
So the Pope can justifiably call Muslims his Brothers and Sisters in faith. And which faith is that? Well the faith of the Devil.
Only Satan would choose to convince you to believe Jesus Christ did not die at the cross. Why? Because it is by the death of Christ at the cross that completes our salvation.
Source: Am Redeemed
Blah blah blah and blah blah and
Pope said Humanly speaking Jesus did not die on the cross cos cross is not a death bed. That it is his body that was cross. Pope was right cos ve heard some saying from some christians that while nailing Jesus body on the cross he was at a place laughing at them. Well I said some christians saying.
For the guy that said Ishmail is boron child that’s why God cast him and his mother out. I think that person is not reading his bible very and if he said yeah, please tell him to go and study Hebrew v 12-17. Can God promised a boron child nation by Saying “And I will make him a great nation” And if its a lie , just take some mins and reason Saudi Arabia.
Let’s just keep calm on religion issue and the poster should stop posting War cos you are causing war indirectly.
All that I knew is. Jesus is a prophet not a lord. And that Pope recovered the truth. ofcourse jesus didnt die in the cross. Finally jesus will surely be back to earth and unveil the real truth
Brothers and sisters of the Lord, we can’t fight over one thing that isn’t true. Lets analyse something here, can u transform someone by fighting him ? Absolutely no unless u become very close to that person. Also how many of us don’t have muslim friends, do we fight them . Bringing someone into Christ its just showing that person love because God is Love . We need to pray for our muslim friends and not to comment using hard words on anyone. Please how can u give a good example by insulting a Highly recognised man of God, please that person should ask for forgiveness from God cos the word says touch not my anointed also the word also says every sin can be forgiven but to speak against the Holy spirit u can’t be forgiven . The Pop is a leader full of the Holy spirit and a servant of God just like the disciples of God so to seek against him in anyway result in speaking against our father in heaven
IF YOU WERE GOD FOR A MINUTE, WOULD YOU BE HAPPY WITH ALL THIS CONFUSION, HATE, KILL KILL KILL, MURDER MURDER MURDER? PLEASE KEEP YOUR RELIGION TO YOURSELF AND LIVE AND ALSO LET OTHERS LIVE. THE GREAT GOD WE ALL ARE CLAIMING WE KNOW MORE THAN OTHERS, GAVE MAN FREE WILL BUT MAN WILL RATHER BOMB YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD FOR NOT BELIEVING IN GOD, DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE. I AM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD NOT PRAISE GOD OR WORSHIP HIM, AM SAYING DON’T DO GOD’S JOB(JUDGE) FOR HIM BECAUSE YOU CANT. FIRST THINGS FIRST, LOVE YOURSELVES THEN WE WILL SEE HOW WELL YOU DO IN LOVING GOD… PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE. DO YOUR THING AND LET OTHERS DO THEIRS, REMOVE THE LOGE IN YOUR EYES FIRST. LET PEOPLE COME TO YOUR GOD BY YOUR ACTIONS, GOOD DEEDS TO HUMANITY, CHARITY, LOVE, HUMILITY. PLEASE!!!
the writer is confuse oh and lack knowledge and wisdom to understand and interprete things
This is a big leasing to all brothers and sister Christines.
this blog should be shut down.
The publisher of these article is ignorant.his just trying to get a lead in the web.by uploading something that would get the attention of diff. People al over
blasphemous, who was the promised to have a son between Sara n Abraham?
Abraham was. He got the son 1smael
All I can see from ur write ups re just bunches of nonsense, wait let me as u all WHAT IS THE RELIGION OF JESUS SON OF MARRY
May the peace, blessing and mercy of the Allmighty God (Allah) be upon you all. With what i saw the writer wrote, it is a pity and a disgrace upon him, that he called himself the learner and follower of the teachings of jesus son of mery and concealed the truth.The writer reads and writer widout good research.But i want you to know that the dackness and the light are never equal.Or is a lier and one who speak of the truth thesame. You speak like those who jesus said : let your rigtousness not be of the pharisy.know that your example is that of one whe candle a fire but eluminated what was arround him, deff, dumb and blind.You go seek of knowledge befor speaking of it.infact have you seen a donkey that carries books on his back? For that is your example your words are even like the donkey sound that when you hear it not pleasn one.O You christian worship the almighty God the only One true God( Allah) .He who created you when you were nothing before.It is Allah who has spread the earth for you like a bed and the sky like a ceiling and send down rain from the sky and brought thereby foods for you that you should eat and worship Him alon.Or has there not came upon you a period of time when you where nothing and Allah created you with just a droping of sperm? He has created Adam with an alter black mood and eve with the ribs of Adam and now you with a droping mixture of sperm and He created Jesus without father and that is a sign that you and i should reason that God (Allah) is able to created.is the creation of the heavens and earth not bigger than man in size and God created it.know that jesus is not the son of God but a honord messanger of God.
My people perish cos they lack knowledge…, besides, the message of the cross is foolishness to those perishing…. The Pope isn’t saying Jesus didn’t die on the cross, rather he’s establishing literal view of understanding about Christ death cos even if he talk further, they can’t understand. Get understanding in all thy getting!!!
My brother you are confused. And stop giving the Bible a different meaning. Stop discriminating, who are you to judge. As christians there is nothing wrong in calling the muslims our brother. You were also completing the Quaran by yourself. You better ask for God’s forgiveness and look for better things to write next time. This is not how to preach the gospel of Christ.
My people can someone tell me how many gods do we have in the bible pls?
New International
Version
Who is the liar? It is
whoever denies that Jesus
is the Christ. Such a person
is the antichrist–denying
the Father and the Son1John 2:22.
Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 72:
Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Marium; and the Messiah said: O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his abode is the fire; and there shall be no helpers for the unjust.
(English – Shakir). The Quran never denies Jesus as the messiah(christ)
Mr antichrist pope, if its just human Jesus that died hw come the body didnt decay like human body does and hw come they didnt even see his body in the grave after he resurrected. And which of the Jesus went to hell to collect dominion over everthing. Am not suprised because even the bible said that a day like this will come, when some will claim to be hia prophets but deep down they are agents of satan
Jesus it’s not God bt profet of god
Please I have a question, where in the bible are the words “christian or Christianity” are mentioned. if not I thinks it is intentionally coiined or created to suit a purposed and it is not for the true religion of Jesus or Isah.
please if today I am to become a christian, which version of the bible do you prefer for me to use.?
Don’t be rediculous guys. Christians and Muslims are brother or sisters. Whatever. Infact, the two so called ‘Religions’ weren’t supposed to exist in the first place. Both the Prophet Muhammad and Jesus were baptised as Jews when they were kids, and both strived to purify and only purify the existing and back-then corrupted Jewism. The major difference betwen the two started when Abraham had two sons Isaac and Ishmael (Don’t mind the spellings) and to each one (As believed) God gave the coming of the Prophet Muhammad to Ishmael and to Isaac the coming of Christ. That’s it. And in contrary to the previous comments, Jesus is not God. It is specifically mentioned in the Bible that thou shalt not create any image or idol of God, or call him by any name. Several times the mention of “My only begotten son” and “The Lord God my father” were visible in the Bible. Even upto his crucifixtion, he looked up to the sky and said, “Forgive them fathe for they know not what they have done”. Also, the Pope is not annointed by God but by an election done by the various Priests at the Vatican. Remember, God does not favour any human on this planet. Remember Pope or not, we all have to fave God on the judgement day. And no one gets free passes to heaven.
Why misleading people about the religion you didnt know, in Islam we have some terms tend ignored by our christians brother whether intentionally to mislead innocent readers or by mistaking. The terms are Jews, Christians, Idolaters, Unbelievers, and Hypocrites. The verse you quote is nit referring to none than The Meccans which practices is idol worshiping if you want to find out where the term christians was mention is concerning Mary, Jesus, and the narratives of the people of cave. So for you people trying to mislead poeple who are trying to figureout the truth i think you are wasting your time. The truth is there nobody can hide it Christians are not enemy to muslims period.
All what anonymous said was just null nd void,kudos 2 d writer
It’s funny how you people fight on this issue. I have 12 friends, each from different religious backgrounds. All I can say is, I party every holiday. Hannukah, Christmas, Eid, Diwaali and this awesome festival called Behdeinkhlam somewhere in Northeast India.

MOST INFLUENTIAL MEN”
Recently, an American historical researcher and
mathematician, Michael H. Hart, published a book :
“THE 100, THE TOP HUNDRED OR THE GREATEST
HUNDRED IN HISTORY.” In his book he gives the
names of the 100 “Most Influential Men in History”
and his reasons for their positions in his list.
Amazingly, he (most probably a Christian) puts
Muhummed (peace be upon him) FIRST 1 in his
hundred, and with good reasons too. And with equally
good reasons he places Jesus Christ (peace be upon
him), the man accepted as “Lord” and “Saviour” by
nearly all his fellow Americans, number THREE.
1. You can read this chapter here – Muhammed (pbuh)
No.1 , A Chapter by Michael H. Hart. I have also placed
the chapter on Jesus Christ along side it
REAL FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY
Though there are at the moment 200 million more
nominal Christians in the world than the 1000 million
Muslims, Mr. Hart divides the credit for founding
Christianity between Paul and Jesus, and he gives the
greater portion to Paul. Hence the 3rd position for
Jesus. Every knowledgeable Christian concedes that
the real founder of Christianity is St. Paul and not
Jesus Christ (peace be upon him).
REASON FOR DIFFERENCE
In any event, if there is any division between a Muslim
and a Christian on the grounds of dogma, belief, ethics
or morality, then the cause of such conflict could be
traced to an utterance of Paul found in his books of
Corinthians, Phillipians, Galatians, Thessolanians, etc.,
in the Bible.
As against the teaching of the Master (Jesus) that
salvation only comes through keeping of the
commandments (Mathew 19:16-17) , Paul nails the law
and the commandments to the cross Paul nails the law
and the commandments to the cross (Colossians 2:14)
1 and claims that salvation can only be obtained
through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ:-
“If Christ be not risen from the dead, then our
preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.”
(1 Corinthians 15:14)
1. One of the multifarious letters/correspondence of
Paul among the 27 Books of the New Testament.
THE KING-PIN OF CHRISTIANITY
According to St. Paul, there is nothing that Christianity
can offer mankind, other than the blood and gore of
Jesus. If Jesus did NOT die, and he was NOT
resurrected from the dead, then there can be NO
salvation in Christianity! “For all your good deeds”,
says the Christian dogmatist, “are like filthy rags” —
(Isaiah 64:6).
NO CRUCI-FICTION — NO CHRISTIANITY
“THE DEATH OF JESUS ON THE CROSS IS THE
CENTRE OF ALL CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY. . . ALL
CHRISTIAN STATEMENTS ABOUT GOD, ABOUT
CREATION, ABOUT SIN AND DEATH HAVE THEIR
FOCAL POINT IN THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST. ALL
CHRISTIAN STATEMENTS ABOUT HISTORY, ABOUT
THE CHURCH, ABOUT FAITH AND SANCTIFICATION,
ABOUT THE FUTURE AND ABOUT HOPE STEM FROM
THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST”, says Professor Jurgen
Moltmann in his — “The Crucified God”. 1
1. “GOD” : The bulk of Christendom accept Jesus Christ
as God incarnate — God in human flesh. According to
the Christian dogma, Jesus must die as God, for a
million human sacrifices cannot redeem mankind from
their sin.
In a nutshell. No CrucifixionI — No Christianity! This is
the experience of us Muslims, in this ocean of
Christianity, which is South Africa. A thousand sects
and denominations of Christianity are vying with one
another to redeem the “heathen” (as they say) from
hell-fire. However, in this battle no Christian priest,
parson or predikant, or hot-gospeller, local or imported,
will ever endeavour to teach the Muslim something
about hygiene; for we Muslims can claim to be the
most hygienic people (I am talking about personal
hygiene). Nor do they endeavour to teach us about
hospitality; for we are the most hospitable of people.
Nor about ethics or morality; for we are the most moral
people — (as a whole) i.e. we don’t drink, we don’t
gamble, we don’t date, court or dance; we pray 5 times
a day, we fast for one whole month during the Muslim
Holy month of Ramadaan; and we take pleasure in
being a charitable people. Despite any of our
shortcomings, we venture to suggest that there is not
another group of people that can “show a candle” to us
in brotherhood, in piety or in sobriety.
BLOOD FOR SALVATION
“Yes! Yes!” says the Christian missionary, “but you do
not have salvation.” Because salvation comes “only
through the blood of the lord Jesus”. “All your good
works are like filthy rags”, he says. “If only you
Muslims would accept the redeeming blood of Jesus,
and take Jesus as your ‘Personal Saviour’, you
Muslims, then would be like angels walking the earth.”
AN ANSWER SUPREME
What are we Muslims to say to this Christian claim?
Nothing better than Allah’s shattering reply to the
Jewish boast!.
(SURA NISAA) Holy Qur’an 4:157
1. Allah: Allah is the name of God Almighty in the
Semitic languages, i.e. in the language of Moses,
Jesus and Muhummed (May the peace of God be upon
them all). Read — “What is His Name?” for elaboration.
2. “Full of Doubts!” — In a state of confusion.
3. “Without Knowledge!” — In ignorance.
4. “Only follow Conjecture!” — Guess work—Fiction!
Could anyone have been more EXPLICIT, more
EMPHATIC, more DOGMATIC, more UN-
COMPROMISING in rejecting the dogma of a faith than
this? “IMPOSSIBLE!” is the answer. The only One Who
could, would be the All-Knowing, the Omniscient, the
Omnipotent Lord of the Universe — GOD ALMIGHTY
Himself!
The Muslim believes this categorical Quranic statement
to be from God. Hence he asks no questions and seeks
for no proof.
Had the Christians accepted the Holy Quran as the
Word of God, the problem of the crucifixion would
never have arisen. They vehemently oppose the
Quranic teaching and attack everything Islamic. In the
words of Thomas Carlyle — “THEY (the Christians)
HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO HATE THE MAN MOHAMED
AND HIS RELIGION.
CHAPTER 2
CALL YOUR WITNESSES
HIGH-PRESSURE SALESMANSHIP
In trying to prove their dogmas 1, they invent shocking
statements and posers — one of which has been used
as the title of this book — “CHRIST CRUCIFIED – Hoax
or History?” 2 No doubt it sounds provocative; but it is
a borrowed title — from the Christian’s own
extravagances; from his own vocabulary.
Garner Ted Armstrong, the Executive Vice-President
and Co-Publisher of the “PLAIN TRUTH” (a Christian
Magazine from America, which boasts a current, FREE,
world-wide circulation of 6 million copies a month) 3 ,
attempts to answer his own puzzle under the heading:
“WAS THE RESURRECTION A HOAX?” This is the
typical American way of selling religion. He elucidates
his poser -“HOAX?” – with the words, “THE
RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH IS
EITHER THE SUPREME FACT OF HISTORY OR A
FLAGRANT. DELIBERATE FABRICATION FOISTED OFF
ON THE FOLLOWERS OF CHRISTIANITY.”
Another budding, young “Billy Graham” from America,
Josh McDowell effuses in his book “THE
RESURRECTION FACTOR”, saying, “I WAS FORCED TO
THE CONCLUSION THAT THE RESURRECTION OF
JESUS CHRIST IS EITHER ONE OF THE MOST WICKED,
HEARTLESS, VICIOUS, HOAXES EVER FOISTED UPON
THE MINDS OF MEN, OR IT IS THE MOST FANTASTIC
FACT OF HISTORY.” Since it is not possible for an
Oriental to match American superlatives and
extravagant verbiage, I do not have to apologise for
humbly borrowing their words for the title of my book:
“CHRIST CRUCIFIED -Hoax or History?” 4
1. Dogma: “Principle, tenet, doctrinal system; arrogant
declaration of opinion.” — Oxford Dictionary.
2. Original title of this book.
3. As claimed in their February 1984 issue.
4. Now changed to — “CRUCIFIXION or CRUCI-
FICTION?”
CHRISTIAN OBJECTION
To the Muslim belief that Jesus Christ was “neither
killed nor crucified”, the Christian objects, “how can a
man (Muhummed pbuh) a thousand miles away from
the scene of a happening, and 600 years after an
event, pronounce as to what had transpired?” The
Muslim says that the words Muhummed (pbuh) uttered
were not his own, but that the Words were “put into
his mouth” by the All-Knowing, All-Seeing God. The
Christian retorts that he is not prepared to accept the
metaphysical aspect of Muhummed’s revelation;
moreso, in view of the written records by “eye-
witnesses” (?) and “ear-witnesses” (?) as regards the
happenings on that Easter week-end some two
thousand years ago.
The Christian plea is valid. Their logic is good. To
entertain their plea we will call up their witnesses and
cross examine them to discover the truth or falsity of
the matter from their own authorities. Admittedly, the
key witnesses in the case are Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John — the alleged authors of the Canonical Gospels.
But they have all died and are in their graves. “Yes,
that is true, but we have in our possession their sworn
affidavits!” says the Christian.
DEMAND FOR PROOF
When confronted by the extravagant and conflicting
claims of the Jews and the Christians to their
exclusive rights to salvation, Allah subha nahu wa-ta
aala 1 commands us to demand for proof. He says:
(SURA BAQARA) Holy Quran 2:111
And they have produced the only proof they have; in
over fifteen hundred different languages! Eleven
different dialects of the Bible for the Arabs alone! Are
we going to swallow them hook, line and sinker? No! It
is presupposed that when Allah commands us to
demand for proof, that we would be in a position to
analyse the proof, once it is produced. Otherwise, it
makes no sense to demand for proof; it would be
nonsense!
1. subha nahu wa-ta aala meaning, Glory Be To Him!
CHAPTER 3
ESTABLISHING GOD’S
KINGDOM
THIRD-PARTY EVIDENCE — “ACCORDING TO . . .”
The amazing thing about the Christians’ sworn
affidavits (writings attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John) is that not a single one of them is duly
attested. Not a single one bears the signature, mark or
thumb-print of its author in the so-called originals.
They now boast of being in possession of over 5000
“originals” of which no two “originals” are identical.
Amazing! Little-wonder the Christians themselves label
their Gospels as — “The Gospel according to St.
Matthew”, “The Gospel according to St. Mark”, “The
Gospel according to St. Luke” and “The Gospel
according to St. John”.
When Christian scholars are asked why the words
“according to” 1 are repeated at the beginning of every
Gospel, the obvious implication is that they are not
autographed. It is only assumed that they are authored
by the names the Gospels carry today. The translators
of the “New International Version” have
unceremoniously expunged the “According to’s” from
the four Gospels in their latest translation. Of the
alleged Gospel writers, viz., Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John it can be categorically stated that 50% were not
even the elected Twelve Disciples of Jesus (pbuh).
1. “According to”; This aspect is dealt with in detail in
the book — “Is the Bible God’s Word?”
PRIMA-FACIE CASE
I dare humbly claim that such unattested documents
would be thrown out of hand, in any Court-of-Law, in
any civilised country, in just two minutes. Furthermore,
one of the alleged witnesses, St. Mark, tells us that at
the most critical juncture in the life of Jesus — “All his
disciples forsook him and fled”- (Mark 14:50) . Please
ask your Christian friend, “Does “all” mean all in your
language, you Englishman?” (This applies to the North
American as well) And he will no doubt say — “Yes!”;
“Does “almal” mean almal in your language, you
Afrikaner?” And no doubt he will say —
“ja!” (pronounced Yaa); “And does “bonke” mean bonke
in your language, you Zulu?” And he will say — “Ahe!”
This is true of every language. Why not memorise this
verse from the Bible in your own dialect? Even in some
additional languages?
So the so-called “eye-witnesses” were not really
eyewitnesses to the happenings, unless St. Mark is not
telling us the whole truth, the “gospel truth”. Yet he is
supposed to be speaking under oath! You will agree
that a case based on such hearsay evidence would be
thrown out of Court, TWICE in two minutes, in any
Court-of-Law, in any civilised country; that is TWICE in
just 120 seconds flat! But a ghost (dogma) of two
thousand years standing, upon which hangs the
salvation of 1200 million Christians, should not be
summarily dismissed. It deserves a little more
circumspection. We will therefore entertain the alleged
testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as if
they were duly attested.
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
At the beginning of course! — exactly as the Bible
does (“In the beginning. . .” – Genesis 1:1 ) — just 24
hours before the cataclysmic events of “a
thunderstorm; an eclipse of the sun; an earthquake;
rocks being rent; the veil of the temple being torn
from the top to bottom; graves being opened and
sleeping corpses marching through the streets of
Jerusalem . . .” as narrated by the Christians’
Witnesses. What a scenario for a billion dollar, record-
breaking, film production!
We must not forget that the Jews are in the dock,
alleged for the murder of Jesus Christ; and we as
Muslims are constrained to defend them against the
Christian charge, because justice must be done.
Whatever their sins of commission and omission, Allah
exonerates them from the charge of murder. He says:
FOR OF A SURETY
THEY KILLED HIM NOT.
(Holy Qur’an 4:157)
PLAYING THE “CRUCI-FICTION” CARD
The Christian world has been unjustly persecuting, and
hounding and killing our Jewish cousins for nearly two
thousand years for a murder they did not commit.
Attempted murder? — may be! But murder? — NO! By
absolving the Jew of a crime he did not commit, we
are also taking the wind out of the hot-gospellers’ and
the Bible-thumpers’ sail. In the battle for the hearts
and minds of mankind, “cruci-FICTION” is the only card
the Christian holds. Free him from his infatuation and
you will have freed the Muslim world from missionary
aggression and harrassment.
AROUND THE TABLE
On the eve of the Passover Feast, Jesus and his
twelve disciples are seated around a huge Table with
their host — the “beloved disciple”, whose name also
happened to be JOHN. Johns’ and Jesus’ 1 were
names, common among the Jews in the year 30 A.C.
as Toms, Dicks, Johns and Jimmys are with us in the
twentieth century. There were at least 14 men at the
table (count them if you wish) and not the unlucky
thirteen of Western superstition. 2
1. Of the three candidates for the 3 crosses at
Golgotha on the 1st Easter week-end, there were 2
Jesus’. The one released was Jesus Barabbas. See
“Christ in Islam” .
2. A country as advance as South Africa, like an
adjunct of the U.S.A., has no Row 13 on any of its
Aeroplanes!!
MARCH INTO JERUSALEM
Jesus (pbuh) made his triumphant royal entry into
Jerusalem at the head of an excited and enthusiastic
following, with high hopes of establishing the “Kingdom
of God” any minute; riding a donkey to fulfill prophecy
(Zechariah 9:9) –
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, behold, thy KING cometh. .
.
sitting upon an ass. . .
And a great multitude spread their garments. . .
and branches in the way. . .
and the multitude cried, saying,
“Hosanna to the SON OF DAVID. . .
Hosanna in the highest . . .”
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 21:5-9
Let Luke the beloved physician, add his strokes to
clarify the picture.
“. . . because he was near to Jerusalem, and because
they thought that the kingdom of God should
IMMEDIATELY appear”-
(HOLY BIBLE) Luke 19:11
HEAVENLY KINGDOM???
“But those mine enemies, who would not that I should
REIGN over them, bring them hither, and SLAY them
before me”-
(HOLY BIBLE) Luke 19:27.
. . . Blessed be the KING who cometh in the name of the
Lord. . .
(HOLY BIBLE) Luke 19:38.
And John adds that the excited throng exclaimed —
“Hosanna!
Blessed is the KING of ISRAEL, that cometh in the name
of the Lord”-
(HOLY BIBLE) John 12:13 .
“The Pharisees said. . . Behold, the world is gone
(mad) after him (Jesus)”-
(HOLY BIBLE) John 12:21.
“NOW is the judgement of this world; N-O-W shall the
prince of this world be CAST OUT”-
(HOLY BIBLE) John 12:31.
Who would withstand such heady-wine of impending
glory? Little wonder that Jesus was tempted physically
to oust those that bought and sold within the temple
precincts. He overthrew the money-changer’s tables
and drove them out with a “whip of cords” – (John 2:15) .
AN ABORTED COUP
The overthrow of the Temple Authority was imminent,
and a forerunner to the expulsion of the Romans,
heralding the “Kingdom of God.” But alas his high
hopes did not materialise. The whole performance
fizzled out like a damp squib, despite all the
“Hosannas” and hoorays to the “Son of David” and the
“King of Israel.” All this ballyhoo was only forty years
premature. Jesus had failed to heed the warning of the
Pharisees to curb the over exuberance of his disciples
(Luke 19:39). He had miscalculated. Now he must pay
the price of failure. His nation was not ready for any
sacrifice, in spite of all their infantile clamour.
JEWISH REASONING
The Jewish leaders reasoned that this one man had
almost brought the nation to destruction. Therefore,
“It is expedient for one man to die for the nation –
(HOLY BIBLE) John 11:50.
But with all the mass hysteria surrounding him, it was
also NOT expedient to apprehend Jesus in public. They
waited for the opportunity of a clandestine arrest. As
luck would have it they found in Judas, an elected
disciple of Jesus (pbuh), a traitor who would sell his
Lord and Master for thirty miserable pieces of silver.
JUDAS WAS DISGRUNTLED
In the opinion of Christian divines it was the greed of
gold which enticed Judas to do his dastardly deed. But
he had more money-sense then the Christians gave him
credit for. As a purser for the elect group of Jesus he
had endless opportunities of pinching pennies
permanently. Why jeopardise that for all times for 30
paltry pieces? There is more to that than meets the
eye. Judas was disgruntled, after all those mass
demonstrations on Jesus’ regal entry into Jerusalem —
those hot out-pourings of: “The HOUR is come — and
NOW is — the Prince of this World will be CAST OUT — I
should REIGN over them — bring them HITHER and SLAY
THEM before me.” Jesus had now developed cold-feet.
If only Jesus could be provoked, he might react with
miracles, and bring down fire and brimstones from
Heaven upon his enemies; and, of course, the legions
of angels (which he boasted were at his disposal),
which would enable him and his disciples to rule the
world.
From close contact with the Master, he had learned
that Jesus was kind, tender and loving. But, he was
not a mealy-mouthed man; he was no milk-and-water
Messiah. But Judas could not understand the “hot and
cold” blowings of Jesus. Perhaps if Jesus was
accosted, he would yet deliver the goods. To this end
Judas schemed.
THE TRAITOR KNOWN
The furtive looks and the suspicious behaviour of
Judas had revealed everything to Jesus (pbuh). He did
not need the Holy Ghost to interpret the misgivings in
Judas’s mind. At the Table in the Upper-room where
Jesus and his disciples were having that “Last Supper”,
Jesus dismissed Judas with the words:
“. . . What thou doest, do quickly.”
(HOLY BIBLE) John 13:27
And Judas took off to put the seal on the deal to the
stab-in-the-back.
CHAPTER 4
PREPARATION FOR JIHAAD
POLICY CHANGE
Jesus will not be a sitting-duck for a clandestine arrest
by the Jews. He prepares his disciples for the
impending showdown. Discreetly, so as not to frighten
his disciples, he introduces the subject of defence.
Gently he begins:
“When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes,
lacked ye anything?” And they said, “Nothing” Then said
he unto them, “But now, he that hath no purse, let him
take it, and likewise his bag; and he that hath no
SWORD, let him sell his garment and buy one!”
(HOLY BIBLE) Luke 22:35-36
This is a preparation for Jihaad, a Holy War — Jews
against Jews! Why! Why this somersault? Did he not
advise them to “turn the other cheek”; “to forgive
seventy times seven” (70 x 7 = 490)? Did he not send
his chosen Twelve with the advice:
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves; be ye, therefore, as wise as serpents, (?) and as
harmless as doves.”
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 10:16
TO ARMS! TO ARMS!
The situation and the circumstance have changed and
as with any wise and able general, the strategy must
also change. The disciples were already armed. They
had some foresight. They had not left Galilee with bare
knuckles. They responded:
“. . . Lord, behold, here are two SWORDS.” And he said
unto them, “It is enough”.
(HOLY BIBLE) Luke 22:38
The missionary, so as to retain the impression of the
“meek and gentle Jesus”, “the Prince of Peace”, pleads
that the SWORDS were spiritual! If the swords were
spiritual, then the “garments” must also be spiritual. If
the disciples of Jesus were to sell their SPIRITUAL
garments to buy SPIRITUAL swords, in that case they
would all become SPIRITUALLY naked! Furthermore,
one does not lop off peoples physical ears with spiritual
swords —
“And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus
stretched out his hand, and drew his SWORD, and
struck a servant of the high priests, and cut off his ear.”
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 26:51
The only purpose of swords or guns is to maim and to
kill. People did not carry swords to pare apples and
bananas in the time of Christ.
WHY COUPLE OF SWORDS ENOUGH?
If this was a preparation for war, then why should two
swords be “enough”? The reason is that Jesus was not
contemplating a battle against the legions of Rome.
Since his “friend” Judas was in league with the Temple
authorities, he was expecting a clandestine, underhand
attempt by the Jewish oligarchy to seize him. It would
be a question of Jews against Jews. In such a battle
against the Jewish temple servants and the riff-raff of
the town, he would prevail. Of that he was sure. He
had with him Peter (the Rock) and John and James
(the sons of Thunder) together with the other eight,
each vying with one another to go to prison for him; to
die for him. 1 These were all Galilians. They had a
reputation of Zealotism, terrorism and repeated
insurrections against the Romans.
Armed with sticks and stones, and the swords, and
fortified with the spirit of self-sacrifice which they had
avowed for their Master, he was sure to knock hells
into any Jewish rabble that dare confront him.
1. “Likewise also said all the disciples.” – (Mathew 26:35)
A MASTER TACTICIAN
He had proved himself a skilful strategist and planner,
alert and resourceful. This was not the time to sit and
twiddle thumbs; to be a sitting-duck, cooped up with
his disciples in the upper-room! No, not for him. He
leads his platoon, in the middle of the night, to
Gethsemane-Gethsemane — an olive press — a
courtyard built of stone walls some 5 miles out of
town.
On the way, he unburdens to them the seriousness of
the situation. The implications and the explosive nature
of the coup that failed. Now he must bear the wrath of
the powers that be. The price of failure!
You do not have to be a military genius to appreciate
that, Jesus (pbuh) deploys his forces as a master
tactician, in a manner that would bring credit to any
Officer out of “Sandhurst” 1. He places eight of the
eleven disciples at the entrance to the courtyard,
commanding them:
“… Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.”
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 26:36
1. A leading military academy in England.
The question that would bug any thinker is: “Why did
they all go to Gethsemane? To pray? Could they not
have prayed in the upper-room? Could they not have
gone to the Temple of Solomon, a stone’s throw from
where they were, if prayer is all that they wanted to
do? No! They went to the Garden so that they might be
in a better position to defend themselves!
Observe, Jesus does not take the eight with him to
pray. He positions them strategically at the entrance to
the courtyard; armed to the hilt, as the circumstances
would allow:
“And he took with him Peter and the two sons of
Zebedee. . .
Then saith he unto them. . .
tarry ye here and watch with me.”
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 26:37-38
Where is he taking Peter and John and James now?
Further into the Garden! To pray? No! To make an
inner line of defence — he had put eight at the Gate,
and, now these zealous Zealots (the fighting Irishmen
of their day), armed with SWORDS, to “wait and watch ”
— TO KEEP GUARD! The picture is very vivid; Jesus
leaves nothing to our imagination. A-n-d HE (alone)
prayed!
JESUS PRAYS FOR RESCUE
“. . . and began to be sorrowful and very depressed.
Then saith he unto them, ‘my soul is exceedingly
sorrowful, even unto death’ . . .”
“And he went a little further, and fell on his face
(Exactly as the Muslim does in Salaat) , and prayed,
saying, “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass
from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.”
(This is the quality of a good Muslim who submits his
will to the will of God).
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 26: 37-39
“And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly;
and his sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood
falling down to the ground’’
(HOLY BIBLE) Luke 22:44
MESSIAH SOBS FOR HIS PEOPLE
Why all this bewailing and lamentation? Is he crying to
save his skin? It would be highly cynical on his part to
do that! Did he not advise others:
“And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out . . . And
if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it
from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell.”
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 5:29-30
We would be doing Jesus a grave injustice if we
thought that he was crying like a woman to save his
body from physical harm. He was crying for his people
— the Jews. They held a queer logic, that if they
succeeded in killing any would-be Messiah (Christ), it
would be a sure proof of his imposture. For God
Almighty will never allow His truly “anointed
one” (Christ) 1 to be killed — (Deuteronomy 18:20).
Hence the insistence of the Jews as a people, as a
whole, in rejecting Jesus, the son of Mary, as their
promised Messiah — “The eternal rejection.”
1. Messiah. “Anointed,” Christos, “Christ.” For full
explanation, see — “Christ in Islam.”
IMAGINATIVE VERSION
This harrowing sob-story, the blood-curdling cries and
lamentations would evoke sympathy in the hardest of
hearts. And the hot-gospeller and the Bible-thumper is
not averse to its effective exploitation. We are told that
Jesus was destined to die for the sins of mankind.
That he was “being prepared for this vicarious sacrifice
before the foundation of the world”. That even before
the material universe came into being, there was a
contract between “Father and son,” and that in the
year 4000 A.A. (After Adam) 1, God himself in the
form of Jesus, as the second person from the
enigmatic Trinity 2, was to get himself hanged to
redeem mankind from the Original Sin and their actual
sins.
1. According to Christian calculations the world and
everything in it is 6000 years old.
2. “Trinity”: The closest approximation to the Christian
dogma of the trinity as found in the Bible — “For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” –
(1st Epistle of John 5:7) — has now been
unceremoniously thrown out as fabrication in the
R.S.V., the most up-to-date translation of the Bible.
See — “Is the Bible God’s Word?” for further Biblical
interpolations.
JESUS UNAWARE OF HEAVENLY CONTRACT
From the “call to arms” in the upper-room, and the
masterful deployment of forces at Gethsemane, and
the blood-sweating prayer to the God of Mercy for help,
it appears that Jesus knew nothing about the contract
for his crucifixion. It reminds one of the Biblical
Abraham, leading his son to the slaughter with the bluff
that the Lord will provide a ‘scape-goat.’
AN UN-WILLING VICTIM
If this was God’s plan for a vicarious atonement to
redeem mankind, then obviously He had chosen a
wrong substitute. This candidate was most reluctant to
die. Arming! Wailingi Sweating! Crying! Complaining! 1
Contrast these responses with those of Lord Nelson, a
war-hero, who gave up the ghost with these undying
words:
” THANK GOD, I HAVE DONE MY DUTY!”. There are
millions today, who would happily immolate themselves
for king and country, with smiles on their faces, with
shouts of “Amandhia!” or “Allahu-akbar!” or “God save
the Queen!” Jesus was an un-willing victim. If this was
God’s scheme of salvation, then it was a heartless plot.
It was murder in the first degree, and not redeeming
self-sacrifice.
Major Yeats-Brown, in his “Life of a Bengal Lancer”,
summarises the Christian Doctrine of the Atonement in
just a single sentence:
“NO HEATHEN TRIBE HAS CONCEIVED SO GROTESQUE
AN IDEA, INVOLVING AS IT DOES THE ASSUMPTION,
THAT MAN WAS BORN WITH A HEREDITARY STAIN
UPON HIM: AND THAT THIS STAIN (FOR WHICH HE
WAS NOT PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE) WAS TO BE
ATONED FOR: AND THAT THE CREATOR OF ALL
THINGS HAD TO SACRIFICE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
TO NEUTRALISE THIS MYSTERIOUS CURSE.”
3. “Eli, Bi, La’ma sabach’thani? … Why hast thou
foresaken me?” For fuller explanation of this cry, see
“What is His Name?”
GOOD FOR EXPORT
“No heathen tribe!” proclaims this Britisher. But the
mighty nations of the West, live and die by this
“Fiction”. If it is no longer fit for home consumption,
then it is still good for export! More than 62,000 full-
time missionaries (Modern-day Crusaders) are raising
the dust throughout the world. Harassing the “heathen”
as they call them. Over 40% of these cultists are “born-
again” Americans! 1
Strange as it may sound, after every outpouring of
prayer, Jesus Christ found his disciples lulled to sleep
at their post. Again and again he bewailed:
“What could ye not watch with me for one hour?” —
(HOLY BIBLE) Matthew 26:40 .
“And again he (Jesus) went away, and prayed, and
spoke the same words. And when he returned, he found
them sleep again …” — (HOLY BIBLE) Mark 14:39-40.
Poor St. Mark bemoans that the disciples could give no
excuse for their lassitude, their somnambulism. He
records:
“neither knew they what to answer him”, — (HOLY
BIBLE) Mark 14:40
However, the most lucid, the most coherent and
systematic of all Gospel writers, St. Luke, hazards a
guess for this anomaly. He says:
“And when he (Jesus) rose from prayer, and was come
to his disciples, he found them sleeping for SORROW.”
(HOLY BIBLE) Luke 22:45
1. “Born-Again:” The latest cult among the Christians.
Billy Graham claims that there are 70 million such
cultists in America. Immaculate people, veritable
angels! Yet in that nation over a quarter million “gays”
gathered in San Fransisco last June on a pilgrimage,
led by 50 lesbians on motorbikes. In New York, there
are only one million more women than men and of the
“men” it is said that one third are sodomites! Overall
there are 10 million “problem drinkers” (meaning
DRUNKARDS), in the U.S.A. If all this is true with 70
million veritable angels (“Born-Again”) in their midst,
then it gives a lie to Paul’s : “…a little leaven leaveneth
the whole …” — (1 Cor. 5:6). Here in the Christian
West not even one third can ferment the loaf. Strange!
UNUSUAL REASONING
St. Luke, though he was never one of the elected
Twelve disciples of Christ, holds numerous distinctions
according to Christians. Among them, the “most
historical” , the beloved “physician” , etc. As a
Physician, his theory of men “SLEEPING FOR
SORROW” is unique. Cries and waitings, sobs and
sorrows were in abundance from Jerusalem to
Gethsemane on the lips of Jesus (pbuh) which would
shock and alert to wakefulness any un-ebriated 1
person. Why were the “lullabies” of woe, lulling the
disciples to slumber? Was their psychological make-up
any different from that of twentieth century man?
Professors of physiology opine that under shock, stress
and fear the adrenal gland secretes a hormone into the
bloodstream — nature’s own injection — which chases
away all sleep. Is it not possible that the disciples of
Jesus had eaten too much and drunk too much:
remembering that food and drink was all “on the
house,” 2, i.e. FREE!
1. “Un-ebriated” : a sober person, not drunk.
2. Note to translators: please do not attempt a literal
Am nt implying dat christians shud segregate themselves frm muslims,pls dnt get me wrong abeg,d bible even says luv your neighbour as u luv urself nd d bible further states we shud b our brothers keeper.Then wu ar our brothers?each nd every single person is our brother
Listen everybody Jesus Christ is the son of God and He die on the cross and went to hades to collect the key of life. As a Christian you are also the son of God your father name is God. Jesus Christ went back into heaven with humanly body. Don’t be deceive Jesus died on the cross and woke up on the 3rd day coz u and me. Rather than arguing give your life to Christ our elder bother
U shud mind wat u write… Dont just comment bcos ppl are commenting. U may rather be bringing curses on ur head. Y shud u call a pope stupid wen u cant even read a common message and understand? Ask God to forgive. Amen
Mr David, if you want to qoute Bible pls always complete it even enter the next verse if possible…..it is truth that GOD`s ways is not our ways,HIS thought is not our thought but HE had made it knew to us through is Spirit that is at work in us
If pope’s statement means Jesus peace be unto him did not die on the cross for salvation of any so called christians he is absolutely right.
The truth here is that we. Read many verses in the holy Bible which shows that Jesus. Teach his followers to repent rather than relaying on his so called Crusification.
.
Let see some verses.
.
Ezekiel 18:19
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the
son bear the iniquity of the
father? When the son hath
done that which is lawful and
right, and hath kept all my
statutes, and hath done them,
he shall surely live.
Ezekiel 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall
die. The son shall not bear the
iniquity of the father, neither
shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son: the
righteousness of the righteous
shall be upon him, and the
wickedness of the wicked shall
be upon him.
Ezekiel 18:21
But if the wicked will turn from
all his sins that he hath
committed, and keep all my
statutes, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall surely
live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel 18:19
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the
son bear the iniquity of the
father? When the son hath
done that which is lawful and
right, and hath kept all my
statutes, and hath done them,
he shall surely live.
Ezekiel 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall
die. The son shall not bear the
iniquity of the father, neither
shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son: the
righteousness of the righteous
shall be upon him, and the
wickedness of the wicked shall
be upon him.
Ezekiel 18:21
But if the wicked will turn from
all his sins that he hath
committed, and keep all my
statutes, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall surely
live, he shall not die.
From the above verses we can see that a person can only rip what he/she saw.
.
Also for those that believed in trinity you need to know that trinity is evil .
And the funny things is that trinity is ONE thing but still there is no Justice in it.
All persons of the Trinity are equal, but some are more equal than others.
.
.
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. [Matthew 12:32]
.
.
If the three persons of the Trinity are equal in
importance and all are 100% God, then why is
speaking a word of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit an unforgivable sin, while doing a similar act against the Son, Jesus, can be forgiven?
.
.
Since only the Holy Spirit has the right to not be
blasphemed against, it seems that some
persons of the Trinity are more equal than
others!
.
.
So please my brothers and sisters shine your eyes worship wh Create Heaven and Earth, water and fire, who gave you Life without permission from any other. And we hundred percent believed that is not Jesus who create you.
Why can’t you worship only one God alone ??
Mustapha i would have say that ur words would perish with u but i pray that God would forgive you coz u dnt know what u r saying
I agree with you David on this.
Pls pls and ls be fair (u the writer)to muslims and seek the actual meaning of the verses u r quoting and stop misleading with ur jewish doctrines
He protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 34:20)”
Notice in Psalm 34:20, it says that GOD Almighty will protect “all his bones”. So, not even an inch from his bones will be damaged according to the Scriptures.
As you might know, the crucifixion back then was done by nailing to the cross the hands and the ankles or the feet. If GOD Almighty was going to protect Jesus’ body that not even a single bone will be broken, then how would the crucifixion and the death of Jesus be possible then?!
Isaiah 52:13
” See, my servant will act wisely;
he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Quran, 4:156-158
And [We cursed them] for their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander.
And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah .” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.
God couldn’t av come in His own form 2 save us from d course which he has placed on the first Adam after what happened at d guarding of Eden, that was why he came in our own image trough d second Adam(Jesus christ) so that we could relate well wit Him, so he leaved aminst us as human. He knows he would have to die as human so that u and I may live and b free from the first Adam, in Him(Jesus christ) we received life. But because He is God, He rose in victory, death could not hold him down, Glory 2 God. That was what the pope ment when he said “humany speaking” . To all christians in d house remember, christianity is not a religion, is a life that u have chosen to leave( it means christlike) so leave as your father leaved. Love every kind, God bless u.

bring over the king’s household, and to
do what was good in his sight. And
Shimei the son of Gera fell down before
the king as he was about to cross the
Jordan.
Isaiah 49:23
“Kings will be your guardians, And their
princesses your nurses They will bow
down to you with their faces to the
earth And lick the dust of your feet;
And you will know that I am the LORD;
Those who hopefully wait for Me will
not be put to shame.
Daniel 2:46
Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his
face and did homage to Daniel, and
gave orders to present to him an
offering and fragrant incense.
Mathew 24:4-5. “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”
Revelation 6:2 “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
Take note of the Rev 6:2. The one that sat on the horse has a bow without arrow, how was he conquering? Deception.
the cross is cardinal to our christian faith.Christianity is anchored on Christ.therefore any statement about the cross or the person of Christ must be verified to the smallest detail. we must earnestly contend for our”faith”.
the pope is an atichrist dont support him.he is a sinner!,the bible says any spirit the does not testify that Jesus is the son of GOD and he died on the cross is a false spirit and does not come from the LORD!. REPENT!!!
It’s true about what de pope said,if yes then may God have mercy.
May the Holy spirit open our to know him more(GOD)
Christain read your bible to avoid confusion, muslem stick to ur koran, Jesus christ our lord(God) or son of God, is the final judge on the day of judgement.
dear anonymous im sorry & i did not mean to offend u by asking u this question as u can see im a muslim Allah has reason for creating muslim, christian & pagan Capableof creating only the right one. so pls enlighten me if he realy die for 3 days, who control the world when he died?
concerning ur post on the pope don’t you mind just flashing me cos i have a question for u+23408052300038
Why is it that religion is the only problem the world has??? Why can’t people stop bring up more enmity in religion by simply ignoring one another’s belief or doing. Please this world deserves to be peaceful for once.
Jesus died on the cross for our sins and It’s funny how people still don’t know much about the bible when it is everywhere. People always perish due to lack of knowledge. Go find out about…. PAPACY… THE LITTLE HORN…CHURCH & STATE? 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 …’Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.’
Check ur statement unbelievers dont mean christian or jews it is very clear in the quran, if the writer talks about islam and hate then what exactly did he intend to acheive by this writeup, its a hate message, what anyone should preach now is love, peaceand harmony. Afterall u have ur religion and i have my religion, who knows who would make heaven via their acts. We should be careful with our words and have a little love for humanity irespective of tribe or religion, remember a good person is a good person and wouldnt be easily misled despite what someone says or inteprets.
Pope has spoken the truth
So many versions of the bible is leading us astray. Maybe the old testament would help. Remember, you shall answer questions in your grave when you die. Jesus was one of the prophets of God, so be careful with your creator. Use the wisdom He has given you to make the right choice. The exams you are writing on this earth shall be marked and graded accordingly. Remember, this world is full of vanity.
Anonymous or what ever your name is! did you read all the Bible? if your answer is no, follow me on my email [email protected]. I shall descuss
You need wisdom of God to understand what Pope mean, However it’s a motal body of Jesus Christ that die, but his spirit lives forever.Read John 1:1-
All the reference u made from d Quran is a big lie. U don’t need to lie b4 u make ur point.
All the reference u made from d Quran is a big lie and a misconception abt d understanding of the verses . U don’t need to lie b4 u make ur point.
jesus is servant of god and his not a god
Romans8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
stop separating Jesus from Christ( the anointed one)
Christ died but no longer in the grave!
My people every answer u seek are all in d bible d answer to this ur argument is lOVE which Jesus himself said love ur God and love ur neighbour as urself this is d greatest commandment

So my brother becarefull of tham.
U all will argue till the workd end because when a fellow is not in
thesame faith(religion)with you,it will be difficult for such a person to understand and accept what you are saying, so don’t yield in to sin of arguement God is not please with that
You wrote nothing but anti islam sentiment.
confused. nkt
Dis page and web belongs to anti Christ
Dear christian.
Do u hold the jesus peace and blessings be upon him as a God?
If yes, if jesus really died who is controlling this worl, giving u helth, wealth and controlling the entire worl? Or do you mean a death person can do all these to you.

Mr James
God bless you
I believed jesus who died 4 me on dat Cross
What read in the scriptures is tha He Jesus is not killed nor crucified but it was ambiguous on their sight, ,the example of Jesus is like that of Adam created from Sand ,,mighty of God is telling thing to be and the thing will surely be
We thank God pope is trying to shared his dream to christian but indirectly..he is try to tel u islam is the religiou of truth but he dn’t know your reaction that is why he adopt that methodology but only wise can understand that. Keep research u would reach that point even pope he never realised that before..islam is welcoming u my brothers and sisters
Is the only truth!
Concerning the Pope Benedict xvi, Jesus died and after three days He arosed . Jesus Christ is alive now & ever. Jesus Christ is the son of God. He is not human. He came down to save man kind from sin. No leader of any religion have died and arose like Jesus Christ. You must believe Him or you perish.
Little by le little the truth will come out….
Lol this gossipmill is becomin stupid. I am givin u one last chance before i delete u
what truth?Read the Bible very well then u will know the truth earlier.
Wetin concern us
Lol we don’t need a Pope to agree.
He’s foolish man… don’t mind that anti Christ
Try and read the post.
Get small sense na. U0001f602
( In boast ) Cristians say they’ve killed Jesus son of Maryam, ( The messenger of Allah ). And on the day of Resurrection Jesus will be witness against Cristians. Surah: An-Nisha, Ayah: 158,159. Surah:An-Nisha http://quran.com/4 ).
Stupid post! Very stupid one!
Lol no time, i just dey vex
alot of nonsense always comes from that pop, oh i mean pope. Imagine him going to Turkey mosque and praying towards mecca. I just pity those who blindly follow him in worshipping idolised maria
Jesus even said it that, Not every one calling me, Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, Matthew 7vs 21
Gossip Mill You don’t have to misconstrue and misquote what the pope has said! This is derogatory to Christians and especially Catholic. He only shared in Muslim sentiment calling them our brothers and sisters teaching peace and coexistence between us. Gossip Mill bring down this post so you don’t bring unnecessary division amongst the holy people of God.
Muslims thrive I propaganda and stupidity… Gosh…
the bible even mention it that jesus dead on a tree not cross pls
He is insane
Take time to read the post! Get some sense madam
lol… no time to get atleast small sense?
