Publishing a book can be likened to having a baby! It is a lot of work and it requires a ton of attention.

One man can impregnate nine women every day for nine months. Those are 2,430 pregnancies.
One woman can only get pregnant once within nine months, even if she beds 9 men every day within 9 months.
That's only one pregnancy. I think the society is putting the responsibility of birth control on the wrong gender.
We are responding to a banner by Muslims claiming that Jesus is not God. In this post, we will do three things:
Establish from Scripture that Jesus is God.
Show the source of this doctrine in the Quran.
Explain why the Quran is unreliable and cannot abrogate the Bible.
1. Jesus is God According to the Bible
The Bible confirms that Jesus is God. We will highlight three key instances from the Gospels.
The Trials of Jesus:
When the ruling councils of Jerusalem sought to convict Jesus for blasphemy, they needed His admission that He was God.
They asked Him directly, and His response was clear.
Mark 14:61-62:
"But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, 'Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?'
Jesus said, 'I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.'"
Luke 22:70:
"Then they all said, 'Are You then the Son of God?' So He said to them, 'You rightly say that I am.'"
Jesus affirmed that He was the Son of God, and this claim led to His death sentence.
The Blind Man Healed: Jesus also declared His divinity to the man He healed.
John 9:35-38:
"Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said, '
Do you believe in the Son of God?' He answered and said, 'Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?'
And Jesus said to him, 'You have both seen Him, and it is He who is talking with you.' Then he said, 'Lord, I believe!' And he worshiped Him."
The blind man worshipped Jesus because He revealed Himself as the Son of God.
The Testimony of Others: Many others also declared Jesus to be God.
John 6:68-69: Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
John 4:42: The Samaritan townspeople confessed, "This is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
John 1:49: Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
John 20:28: Thomas exclaimed, "My Lord and my God!"
Jesus' own testimony, along with the testimony of others, confirms that He is God.
2.
The Quran's Doctrine of Jesus Not Being God
The Quran’s claim that Jesus is not God is based on sources that are known fabrications and forgeries.
Muslims often rely on the Gospel of Barnabas, which they call the Injeel Barnaba.
However, this gospel is not mentioned in the first 1,300 years of Christianity or Islam.
It was written in Italian and Spanish in the 14th century, long after Jesus and Muhammad.
It contains historical inaccuracies, such as claiming Jesus sailed to Nazareth (a landlocked town) and mentions Muhammad by name, even though Muhammad lived centuries later.
It also erroneously states that Jesus was born under Pontius Pilate's rule, though Pilate governed much later.
3. The Quran’s Reliance on Fabricated Stories
The Quran borrows heavily from forged stories, including the claim that Jesus turned clay into a living bird as a child.
This story comes from the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas.
Gospel of Thomas (2:1-4): "...And having made soft clay, he fashioned thereof twelve sparrows. And it was the Sabbath when he did these things."
Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:110): "You made a bird out of clay, breathed into it, and it became a bird by My permission."
This tale is a Gnostic fabrication from the second to third centuries, long after the time of Thomas.
4. The Quran's Contradiction of Historical Facts
The Quran claims to be a continuation of previous Scriptures, yet it often contradicts historical facts.
When it does, Muhammad would abrogate the Scriptures, ignoring well-established historical truths.
Jesus claimed to be God, and the Scriptures confirm this.
Christians have always believed in the divinity of Jesus, even to the point of martyrdom.
For 600 years, Christians held this belief until Muhammad, who was illiterate, came on the scene.
The Bible is true, both historically and divinely. The Jesus in the Quran is not the same as the Jesus in the Bible, and the God in the Quran is not the same as the God in the Bible.
Jesus is God. Muhammed lied, like John said false prophets would:
1 John 4:3
"..but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
Muhammed denies Jesus is God.
Muhammed is a false prophet.
Muhammed met the spirit of the anti-Christ.
May God bring all Muslims to the light. Amen
What in the literal shit food is Ethiopian air serving people like this? Asides the buscuit and cracker nothing is good. 😭😭😭

My daughter's period came on during P.E. today & her teacher shouted at her for asking to get a pad because 'What if this was a business meeting? Periods are something all women just have to deal with?'
Ma'am, my daughter is 14 & fit, you're fat & out of breath. YOU do your P.E.
@Amanda___praise Stop seeing a husband in every christian brother you meet, it robs you the ability to form other meaningful relations that are not necessarily romantic.
@Amanda___praise Singlehood is not a phase to be endured as though the real living is just ahead when the right person comes or a means to an end. It is a gift in which you can live life to the fullest and experience the joys therein.
@Amanda___praise That you met somebody in church doesn’t mean they are automatically a good person. I know they carry anointing. But do they show forth the fruits of the spirit?
I saw a guy on TikTok say you can't "mental health" your way out of accountability, and I want to scream it from the rooftops.
Mental health issues don't give you free reign to hurt people and not take responsibility.
