Jesus is the answer to the problem of the broken man.

Do you feel broken?

Are you struggling under the weight of pornography, drug abuse, sexual immorality, Gambling, Smoking and drunkenness?

There is liberty in Jesus, come to him and be saved.

Your Core Error: Confusing Guilt with Condition

In line with the Quran, The Prophet, Your Imams, and you Dawahists, I am not surprised the Christian faith is being misrepresented, half the time Christianity is presented, it's either a caricature or a plain misrepresentation.

Let's treat this one.

Christianity does not teach that God “punishes babies for Adam’s personal sin.” What my faith has consistently taught is this:
-Adam’s sin introduced a corrupted condition, we have not inherited personal guilt from his actions.
-Humanity inherits a wounded nature, not Adam’s criminal record.
-Each person is judged for their own sins, not Adam’s act.
This distinction already appears in Scripture itself:
“The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father.” (Ezekiel 18:20)

What “Original Sin” Actually Means (Biblical & Historical)
In Christian theology, original sin refers to:
- Ontological corruption (death, disordered desires, alienation from God), Not juridical blame for Adam’s act. 

Paul’s language in Romans 5 is not legal bookkeeping; it is covenantal and existential:
“Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men…” (Romans 5:12)
Notice: death spreads, not guilt.

The early Christians understood Adam as the head of humanity, whose fall damaged the human condition itself. Humanity became mortal, corruptible, and inclined toward sin.

That is why:
Children are not condemned for Adam’s act, but they are born into a world already broken by it. Hence baptism, grace, and regeneration are framed as healing, restoration, and new creation, not merely legal pardon.

Why “Instructions” Are Not Enough (Where the Qur’anic Model Breaks)
Here is where the Christian vision goes deeper.

The Qur’anic account assumes:
-Adam sins
-Adam repents
-God forgives
-Humanity resets morally to zero

But this raises a serious philosophical and moral problem:
If instructions were enough, why does every generation still fail?

Christianity diagnoses the problem more honestly:
-The issue is not ignorance
-The issue is bondage
-The will itself is fractured

Paul captures this existential reality we have all experienced at some point in time:

“I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” (Romans 7:19)

No amount of rules can:
-Heal disordered affections
-Transform desires
-Restore communion with God

This is why Christianity does not present salvation as better instruction, but as new birth.

Why the Cross Is Not Injustice, but Mercy
The Muslim objection often caricatures the cross as:
“God killing an innocent person to forgive the guilty”
But Christianity does not teach that.
The New Testament proclaims that God Himself acts in Christ:
“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.” (2 Corinthians 5:19)
The cross is not:
A third party punished
Or divine cruelty

It is self-giving love, God entering human brokenness to heal it from within.

This is why forgiveness in Christianity is not merely declared; it is accomplished.

Mercy Compared Properly
So who is more merciful?

A God who forgives words, but leaves humanity unchanged?

Or

A God who enters history, bears suffering, heals the will, and restores communion?

Christian mercy is transformative, not merely transactional. It does not say:
“You are forgiven, try harder next time.”
It says:
“You are healed, walk in newness of life.”

The Deeper Irony
Ironically, the Qur’anic framework ends up closer to moralism:
Sin = bad actions,
Forgiveness = verbal repentance,
Solution = better obedience,

Christianity sees sin as a disease, not just a crime. And Christ as the physician, not merely a judge.

That is why the Church never claimed Adam was given a law to save humanity. What humanity lost was not information, but life.

Thank you @POTUS

[Department of War 🇺🇸 @DeptofWar]

.@POTUS “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”

[Gideon Odoma @gideonodoma]

"If you have the gift of healing, go to a hospital, heal all the patients, and discharge them,"
–This is not a good argument against continuationism.

Jesus went to a 'hospital' in John 5. He did not heal even two out of the multitude of sick people there. By the records, he healed ONE. Yet, if anyone could heal everyone, without doubt, Jesus could do so during His earthly ministry. Yet, He did not. Not that He could not. He did not.

DIAGNOSTICS
One big issue, as I see it, is a misunderstanding of the purpose of divine interventions like healing miracles. I don't have the allowance to write a thesis on "Why God allows healing miracles."

The bottom line for now is, cessationism is biblically untenable, because God still endows saints with gifts to heal, to do miracles, etc, as captured in the Corinthian correspondence. That's the point. And, not healing every sick person in the environment is not an argument against the reality of gifts of healing, today.

The charismata of first Corinthians, have not ceased.

Dump Update
Again, I dont remember the context anymore.
I think this would have been an interesting article/conversation (like those who claim they can heal every sick person... those who blame the sick for not getring healed, etc), if I had the time to flesh it out... but such is life

How do you treat the Unborn?

Should they be aborted?

[Rachel Coyle @RachelCoyleOhio]

The Bible is loud and clear on this topic. It commands us to treat #immigrants and #refugees the same way we treat citizens:
Leviticus 19:33-34
Leviticus 24:22
Exodus 23:9
1 Chronicles 16:19-22
Deuteronomy 10:19
Deuteronomy 27:19
Ezekiel 47:22
Matthew 25:35
Hebrews 13:1-3

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

I don’t think we need to lie to ourselves, or exaggerate our similarities to coexist. I believe deeply in freedom of religion. I have friends of other faiths. I eat with them, respect them, and defend their right to worship. But respect doesn’t require pretending our beliefs are the same. It doesn’t require pampering. It allows honesty.

When someone says, “We worship the same God and we believe in Jesus too,” that sounds conciliatory, but on closer inspection, it’s a false flag.

Here’s why.

If someone tells you they honor Donald Trump, respect him, acknowledge his importance, but insist he is the Governor of New York, not the President of the United States, what do you do with that? You don’t applaud the respect. You point out the category error. Titles matter because roles matter.

Now imagine this claim appears 600 years after Trump lived, contradicts all earlier records, and then adds, “He wasn’t really President, it just appeared that way.” At some point, respect without accuracy becomes meaningless.

I agree that religion is more complex than politics, but the logic is not different.

Yes, Jesus is mentioned in the Qur’an. That’s not impressive by itself. Why wouldn’t He be? Jesus is one of the most historically attested, morally exceptional figures in human history. Agreeing that He existed, that He was sinless, or that He was a prophet is not a theological achievement, its baseline acknowledgment of reality.

The issue is not whether Jesus is mentioned. The issue is who He is said to be and what role He plays and this is where the contrast becomes stark.

The New Testament, take the book of Hebrews alone, does not merely make claims about Jesus. It argues;

1. Hebrews 1 carefully establishes that Jesus is not an angel but categorically above them.
2. Hebrews 2 explains why He had to become fully human, to truly represent humanity and defeat death from within.
3. Hebrews 3 shows He is greater than Moses, using a precise analogy: the builder of the house is greater than the house itself.
4. Hebrews 4–5 lay out the criteria for priesthood; representation, sympathy, divine appointment, and then demonstrate, step by step, how Jesus meets and exceeds every category.
This is theological reasoning, not assertion. It’s coherence, not command.

By contrast, Islam re-characterizes Jesus dramatically, denying the crucifixion, denying sonship, denying mediation, yet offers no comparably rigorous explanation for why this reinterpretation should override earlier testimony or how this version of Jesus resolves anything at all. Saying “Jesus is a prophet” is not depth. It’s reduction. And when you reduce someone while claiming to honor them, the burden is on you to explain why your version should be taken seriously.

So yes, if Islam wants to claim continuity with Jesus, it’s not too much to ask for something more than isolated verses followed by “submit.”
It should answer the theological depth that already exists. Let’s judge the arguments, not the applause lines.

@FIRSNigeria Everything that has beginning also has an end.

I like what you and Agbado is doing, please increase the burden and tax on Nigeria more next year.

We need large IGR to campaign for in 2027. The Lagos model is the way💪

This impunity will cause change we have been praying for.
