Ezekiel 23 is full of pornography which can compete with any modern porno book
Eze 23:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Eze 23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
Eze 23:3 And they committed whoredoms (a house where a man visit prostitutes) in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
Eze 23:4 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
Eze 23:5 And Aholah played the harlot (prostitute who has several brief sexual relationship) when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
Eze 23:6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
Eze 23:7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled (made dirty) herself.
Eze 23:8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
Eze 23:9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
Eze 23:10 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
Eze 23:11 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
Eze 23:12 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
Eze 23:13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
Eze 23:14 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
Eze 23:15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
Eze 23:16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
Eze 23:17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
Eze 23:18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
Eze 23:19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Eze 23:20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Eze 23:21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness (Crude and offensive in sexual way) of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoWhy more Christian Priest, DD or Minister converts to Islam then few or negligible number of Alim or Imam?
Christians are controlling the world. They have all power. Most of commanding countries are Christian populated. On the other hands, Muslim, now-a-days are described as Terrorist, Fundamentalist or Corrupted. Even though why those Priest, DD or Ministers find truth in Islam. Where that truth?
Almost all of them describes that Christians are very poor in their knowledge about Islam and Muslims. They only see the news of western media and listened churches. They do not read QURAN (on the contrary, religious point of view, Muslims have to believe in Bible and Jesus (PBH) though there are some contradiction in the Bible). All truth lies in the Quran, not in the life of Muslims that portrayed by western media. Muhammad (PBH) did not write Quran as they (ex-Christians) preached earlier. History says Muhammad was illiterate. How can an illiterate man write a big volume of book (containing solution of all problem of human) where more than 70 people write books which is the Bible (containing few or no solution of problems of human).
Think again!

He (Jesus) addressed several time to his followers as "Evil and adulterous generation". He can easily continue with "I will die for your sin". But never did it. It is people's assumption after alleged crucifixion that they lost their hero, they can not do anything.

If you look for ex-christians; all describes the reason that they were searching for truth of God and they have it in Islam. No one came to Islam for good Job, Beautiful wife, Education or healthcare. Rather christian missoneries are trying to convert some poor muslims in very remote area of their country by giving healthcare facility or education or some case imigration to western country. You can check in some of new muslim like Yosuf Estes or Jashua Evens in youtube.

1 AnswerOther - Local Businesses10 years agoWho spoke the truth, Jesus or John the Baptist ?
Baptist Contradicts Jesus
In New Testament times, we find that the Jews were still expecting the
fulfilment of the prophecy of 'ONE LIKE MOSES'; refer John 1:19-25. When
Jesus claimed to be the Messiah of the Jews, the Jews began to enquire as to
where was Elias? The Jews had a parallel prophecy that before the coming of the Messiah, Elias must come first in his second coming. Jesus confirms this Jewish belief:
". . . . . . ELIAS TRULY SHALL FIRST COME, AND RESTORE ALL THINGS. BUT
I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT ELIAS IS COME ALREADY, AND THEY KNEW HIM
NOT, . . . . . . THEN THE DISCIPLES UNDERSTOOD THAT HE SPAKE UNTO
THEM OF JOHN THE BAPTIST." (Matthew 17:11-13).
According to the New Testament the Jews were not the ones to swallow the
words of any would-be Messiah. In their investigations they underwent
intense difficulties in order to find their true Messiah. And this the Gospel of
John confirms: "AND THIS IS THE RECORD OF JOHN," (the Baptist) "WHEN
THE JEWS SENT PRIESTS AND LEVITES FROM JERUSALEM TO ASK HIM,
WHO ART THOU? AND HE CONFESSED AND DENIED NOT; BUT CONFESSED,
I AM NOT THE CHRIST." (This was only natural because there can't be two
Messiahs at the same time. If Jesus was the Christ then John couldn't be
the Christ!) "AND THEY ASKED HIM, WHAT THEN? ART THOU ELIAS? AND HE
SAITH, I AM NOT." (Here John the Baptist contradicts Jesus! Jesus says
that John is "Elias" and John denies that he is what Jesus ascribes him to
be). One of the TWO (Jesus or John), God forbid! is definitely not speaking
the TRUTH! On the testimony of Jesus himself, John the Baptist was the
greatest of the Israelite prophets: "VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, AMONG THEM
THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN THERE HAS NOT RISEN A GREATER THAN JOHN
THE BAPTIST: . . . . . ." (Matthew 11:11).
We Muslims know John the Baptist as Hazrut YAHYAA Alai-his-salaam
(peace be upon him). We revere him as a true prophet of Allah. The Holy
Prophet Jesus known to us as Hazrut ISAA Alai-his-salaam (peace be upon
him), is also esteemed as one of the mightiest
messenger of the Almighty. How can we Muslims impute lies to either of
them? We leave this problem between Jesus and John for the Christians to
solve, for their "sacred scriptures" abound in discrepancies which they have
been glossing over as the "dark sayings of Jesus". We Muslims are
really interested in the last question posed to John the Baptist by the
Jewish elite - "ART THOU THAT PROPHET? AND HE ANSWERED, NO." (John
1:21).
Three Questions!
Please note that three different and distinct questions were posed to John
the Baptist and to which he gave three emphatic "NO's" as answers. To
recapitulate:-
But the learned men of Christendom somehow only see two questions
implied here. To make doubly clear that the Jews definitely had T-H-R-E-E
separate prophecies in their minds when they were interrogating John the
Baptist, let us read the remonstrance of the Jews in the verses following -
"AND THEY ASKED HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHY BAPTIZEST THOU THEN,
IF THOU BE
The Jews were waiting for the fulfilment of THREE distinct prophecies: One,
the coming of CHRIST. Two, the coming of ELIAS, and Three, the coming of
THAT PROPHET.
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoTo Bible scholars- Who is that prophet?
According to the Bible, God said to Moses, on whom be peace:
“I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.” (The Holy Bible, Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 18).
I will punish anyone who refuses to obey him (The Holy Bible, Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 19).
The prophet described in the above verse must have the following three characteristics:
1. He will be like Moses.
2. He will come from the brothers of the Israelites, i.e. the Ishmaelites.
3. God will put His words in the mouth of that prophet and he will declare what God commanded him.
Let us see which prophet God was speaking of.
1. The prophet like Moses
Some people feel that this prophecy refers to the prophet Jesus, on whom be peace. But, although Jesus* was truly a prophet of God, he is not the prophet spoken of here. Muhammad* is more like Moses*
• Jesus* was born miraculously, and, finally, God raised him up miraculously. On the other hand, Moses and Muhammad were born in a natural way and both died natural deaths.
• Moses and Muhammad gives new instructions (10 commandment and Quran), but Jesus hadn’t any such instructions, He only came to fulfill the LAW(Torah)
• Moses and Muhammad had the power of authority to enforce the instructions; But Jesus had no power to enforce.
• Moses and Mohammad had to migrate from their land, But Jesus hadn’t to migrate.
Therefore Jesus is not like Moses, Mohammad is like Moses ( Holy Bible: Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 18)
2. From among the Ishmaelites
Abraham* had two sons, Ishmael* and Isaac* (Genesis, chapter 21). Ishmael* became the grandfather of the Arab nation, and Isaac became the grandfather of the Jewish nation. The prophet spoken of was to come not from among the Jews themselves, but from among their brothers, the Ishmaelites. Muhammad*, a descendant of Ishmael, is indeed that prophet.
Therefore Jesus is not like Moses, Mohammad is like Moses ( Holy Bible: Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 18)
3. God will put His words in his mouth
“Neither the content of the revelation, nor its form, were of Mohammed’s devising. Both were given by the angel, and Mohammed’s task was only to repeat what he heard.”(World Religions from Ancient History to the Present, by Geoffrey Parrinder, p. 472)
God sent the angel Gabriel* to teach Muhammad* the exact words that he should repeat to the people. The words are therefore not his own; they did not come from his own thoughts, but were put into his mouth by the angel. These are written down in the Qur’an, word for word exactly as they came from God.
Therefore Jesus is not like Moses, Mohammad is like Moses ( Holy Bible: Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 18)
Now comes to next verses of that chapter: “I will punish anyone who refuses to obey him” (The Holy Bible, Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 19).
Is there any beloved Jesus follower who can deny God’s this warning?
* on whom be peace
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoDid Jesus said anywhere in the Bible that I will die for the sin of world ?
Christian central faith is that "Jesus had died for our sin". For a moment , if you think he did not died or if died, it was not to absorb our sin. What will be future of Christians ? Reason is that Jesus did not said anything in the Bible that he is going to die for the sin of world. He was put to death due to alleged blasphemy.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoIs the word "BIBLE" found in the holy Bible ?
In the Quran, there are many description of Quran mentioning the word "QURAN"; what it is, why it needed,where it comes from etc.
By the way The word "Bible" is in the Quran. Quran calls Jews and Christians as "O follower of Books..... (The word Bible comes from Bilious, meaning "Books")
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoDo Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God?
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him (Bible: John 3:16).
However, it is interesting to note that the term "son of God" is used in other parts of the Bible to refer to Adam (Bible: Luke 3:38), Israel (Bible: Exodus 4:22) and David (Bible: Psalms 2:7) as well. The creatures of God are usually referred to in the Bible as children of God.
The role of Paul of Tarsus in shaping this belief and the belief in Trinity
The notion of Jesus as son of God is something that was established under the influence of Paul of Tarsus (originally named Saul), who had been an enemy of Jesus, but later changed course and joined the disciples after the departure of Jesus.
Later, however, he initiated a number of changes into early Christian teachings, in contradiction, for instance, to disciples like Barnabas, who believed in the Oneness of God and who had actually lived and met with Jesus.
Paul is considered by a number of Christian scholars to be the father of Christianity due to his additions of the following ideas:
that Jesus is the son of God,
the concept of Atonement,
the renunciation of the Law of the Torah.
Paul did these things in hopes of winning over the Gentiles (non-Jewish people). His letters are another of the primary sources of information on Jesus according to the Christian tradition.
The original followers of Prophet Jesus opposed these blatant misrepresentations of the message of Jesus. They struggled to reject the notion of the Divinity of Jesus for close to 200 years.
One person who was an original follower of Jesus was Barnabas. He was a Jew born in Cyrus and a successful preacher of the teachings of Jesus. Because of his closeness to Jesus, he was an important member of the small group of disciples in Jerusalem who had had gathered together following the disappearance of Jesus.
The question of Jesus's nature, origin and relationship with God was not raised amongst Barnabas and the small group of disciples. Jesus was considered a man miraculously endowed by God. Nothing in the words of Jesus or the events in his life led them to modify this view.
The Gospel of Barnabas was accepted as a Canonical Gospel in the Churches of Alexandria till 325 CE Iranaeus (130-200) wrote in support of pure monotheism and opposed Paul for injecting into Christianity doctrines of the pagan Roman religion and Platonic philosophy. He quoted extensively from the Gospel of Barnabas in support of his views. This indicates that the Gospel of Barnabas was in circulation in the first and second centuries of Christianity.
In 325 (CE), a council of Christian leaders met at Nicaea and made Paul's beliefs officially part of Christian doctrine. It also ordered that all original Gospels in Hebrew script which contradicted Paul's beliefs should be destroyed. An edict was issued that anyone in possession of these Gospels would be put to death.
The Gospel of Barnabas has miraculously survived though.
14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoWas David is the father of Zesus ?
Holy Bible: Romans: Ch 1: Vs 3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Christians claims that Zesus is “begotten not made”. This verse says that He is “made”. And we know Zesus born miraculously. He had no physical father. But this verse says that Zesus was “made” of the SEED OF DAVID. Did God made a mistake ? He (God) sent Zesus with out father, and when His Spirit comes to writer of Bible He (God) forgot how He (God) sent Zesus ! And tells us that Zesus made of the Seed of David.
