"Christians follow Paul, not Jesus."
That used to be my favorite argument as a Muslim.
Then I actually studied Paul.
And the argument fell apart.
Paul wasn't some random guy inventing theology. He was a Pharisee trained under Gamaliel, one of the most respected Jewish teachers of his generation.
He knew the Torah.
He knew the prophets.
And he hated Christianity.
He persecuted Christians, dragged them from their homes, and approved their executions.
Then something happened.
He encountered the risen Christ.
And overnight, the man hunting Christians became one.
Think about that.
If Paul invented Christianity, why did he spend his life pointing people to Jesus instead of himself?
Why did Peter, James, and John endorse him?
Why did his teachings align with the apostles who actually walked with Christ?
And why would he willingly endure beatings, imprisonment, stoning, and eventually execution for a message he knew was false?
People may die for something they mistakenly believe is true.
But they do not willingly die for a lie they invented themselves.
Paul didn't create Christianity.
He met the risen Jesus and spent the rest of his life proclaiming Him.
If you've been told Paul invented Christianity, you've been handed a slogan, not an argument.
Until Muslims worldwide start making videos condemning Islamic terrorists and apologize for the atrocities committed in Allah’s name, I won’t take them seriously.
Never let Muslims gaslight you.
I hope we are now very clear on the fact that the insecurity issues plaguing Nigeria is an Islamization Agenda.
If you doubted it before, now you know it!!
(1) The age of 7 was for betrothals, not for marriage.
(2) Thomas assigned 12 as the minimum age for a girl to get married (so Muhammad and the Quran would have been condemned).
(3) He based this claim on Aristotle (not an authority for us).
(4) If Thomas had been aware of modern medical knowledge, he would have modified his position in light of this knowledge (unlike Islam, which is glued to Muhammad as the pattern of conduct for Muslims).
Hope that helps!
You’re playing English word games with a Greek text! John 5:23 uses "kathōs" (to the exact same degree). Ephesians 5:22 uses "hōs" (in the manner of). Jesus demanded honor to the exact same degree as the Father. Stop reading English translations and study the Greek! 🤡
The Quaque family should rather be paying reparations to the state.
1. Philip Quaque’s father, Obirempong Cudjoe, was a caboceer.
2. If you didn't know, a caboceer was a big, strong & powerful African man whose job was to raid communities in the hinterlands, and capture free men, women & children for sale to Europeans as slaves.
3. This job became lucrative following the arrival of the Portuguese on the Gold Coast, continued under the Danes and the Dutch, and ended with the British.
4. Obirempong Cudjoe built a strong business relationship with the biggest slave trader of the 1750s in Anomabo, an Irishman named Richard Brew, who was governor of the Royal Africa Company (RAC) at the slave fort in Anomabo.
5. But for the enterprise in Gold Coast’s slave forts, which were the manger that served greener pastures to most British employees, Richard Brew, an unemployed drunkard back in Ireland, would have perished in poverty. Ironically, now we rather troop to their ends in search of greener pastures.
6. Together, Brew & Cudjoe profited from slavery. Part of those profits financed the education of Cudjoe's son, Philip Quaque, at Oxford. Quaque later became Africa's foremost Anglican priest and preacher at the slave forts. After returning from Oxford, however, he was alienated from his Fanti people, could no longer speak his mother tongue fluently, and began trading in slaves himself.
7. Richard Brew, on the other hand, undermined the RAC, made even greater profits, and built himself a fort named Castle Brew, which still stands in ruins at Anomabo.
8. To strengthen their relationship, Richard Brew's mulatto son from a caboceer's daughter, Henry Brew, married Quaque's sister, Abba Kayba. The Brew family in Ghana emerged from this union and developed into a large privileged lineage that persists to this day.
9. Kwesi Brew (poet, diplomat, & member of the first batch of students to attend Legon), his daughter Rama Brew (veteran actress), Marietta Brew (second female attorney-general & current chair of Legon Council), Amandzeba Nat Brew (celebrated musician), & hyphenated-and-allied Brews all descend from this lineage.
10. These descendants & their allied Quaque family should be among those held accountable for the ancestral debt.
11. They can begin by renaming the Quaque House at Adisadel College in memory of their enslaved victims, whose family names I would rather not mention to avoid stigmatization.
If you’re dating someone and you can’t comfortably tell them 'I don’t have money for this right now' without feeling ashamed, you are in the wrong relationship. 🤷♀️
Bandit wants implementation of sharia law in Oyo state as part of the ransom demanded.
We told you these are Islamist jihadist, but you said no……Political correctness will not help you and me.
Never forget, Muhammad got one thing right.
If he was a false prophet, his aorta would be severed (Surah 69:44-47). Later, Muhammad dies after saying his aorta was severed (Dawud 4512 / Bukhari 4428), proving he's a false prophet.
How can you be a Muslim before you were born?
Islam is only 1,500 years old. Yorubas existed for centuries before Mohammed was born.
If your forefathers were not Muslims, how did you suddenly become one before birth?
"There's no compulsion in religion"
BUT
"I've been commanded to fight against people till they testify to the fact that there’s no god but Allah, and believe in me (that) I am the messenger (from the Lord) and in all that I have brought."
- Prophet Muhammad [Sahih Muslim 21b]
🇯🇵 If Muslims are allowed to build mosques here on our holy sites then we must be given permission to build shinto shrines in Mecca.
We need some right next to the Kaaba. It's only fair.
