My church is hosting a fast this month, I'm actually going to participate in it. Moot point.
Only this month, ?
For us , its one of the 5 pillars of Islam thus a MUST and obligatory and we muslims fast 30 days every year and also on other occasions
Jesus was a Jew, so couldn't eat pork. He couldn't eat pork anyway though, it was actually not allowed in Holy Land
It isnt allowed in your Bible
Leviticus 11:8
You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
Are you practicing selective morality , since you want to eat pork , you ignore the above verse
Although it's a Jewish law intended for the Jews, not the Gentiles.
Well if you follow Jesus , then arent you're supposed to do what his practices does, like we follow Muhammad
He also drank wine. Heck, He even turned water into wine!
Not all Christians drink wine or alcohol. The Christian Mormons don't drink it nor use it in their church. and the mormons say that Wine is grape juice and not an alcoholic one. People misunderstood it. Alcohol including wine was scientifically proven to cause serious mental illness and damages.
Why would the "Real Holy Bible" allow for us to drink something that causes lots of mental damages for us? especially after knowing the fact that in Hebrew grape juice was often referred to as wine.
Jesus converted water into grape juice as one of his miracles that Allah Almighty granted for him, and said that his blood is like grape juice.
We must first explore the meaning of the word "Wine." Looking at the dictionary one can learn that the word "Wine" has following meanings.
wine
1.A beverage made of the fermented juice of any of various other fruits or plants
2.A beverage made of the fermented juice of any of various kinds of grapes, usually containing from 10 to 15 percent alcohol by volume
3. Something that intoxicates or exhilarates.
Let us keep this fact in mind that the word [wine] does not automatically carry connotations [in dictionary] of an intoxicant drink, it is more obviously used for juice. Looking into the issue further we see that word [alcohol] means:
al·co·hol (²l"k.-hôl", -h¼l") n. 1. Abbr. al., alc. A colorless, volatile, flammable liquid, C2H5OH, synthesized or obtained by fermentation of sugars and starches and widely used, either pure or denatured, as a solvent and in drugs, cleaning solutions, explosives, and intoxicating beverages. Also called ethanol, ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol. 2. Intoxicating liquor containing alcohol. 3. Any of a series of hydroxyl compounds, the simplest of which are derived from saturated hydrocarbons, have the general formula CnH2n+1OH, and include ethanol and methanol. [Medieval Latin, fine metallic powder, especially of antimony, from Arabic al-ku¡l : al, the + ku¡l, powder of antimony.]
Since Bible does not prove and/or indicates that alleged wine was intoxicant, It is therefore safe to say that it is inconceivable for a great Prophet Jesus to act in such contradictory fashion to turn water into intoxicant [wine] as we know it by proven record that intoxicants [alcoholic beverages] are responsible of social and moral bankruptcy of western world [in form of drunk driving accidental deaths, rape, incest, murder, suicide and more].
The Bible says :
Do not drink wine nor strong drink (Leviticus 10:9)
Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Proverbs 20:1)
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. (Proverbs 4:17)
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment. (Isaiah 28:7)
Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. (Joel 1:5)
*****dom and wine and new wine take away the heart. (Hosea 4:11)
Jesus
was made to drink wine not that he wanted :
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. (Mark 14:25)
Jesus was made to transform water into wine
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare [it]. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew
the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, (John 2:7-9)
If the Gospels were written by the disciples of Jesus, then the miracle would have been reversed, the transforming of wine into water instead of water into wine. Jesus would never praise wine because it was the poison that caused Noah to get drunk, and Lot to commit incest!
Prophet Lot commits incest from wine
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, [and] lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. (Genesis 19:33-26)
According to the Bible, the Prophet Noah got drunk!
And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (Genesis 9:20-25)
Although these stories are false because they teaches blasphemy against the holy Prophets Noah and Lot, they still convey a moral lesson for mankind that alcohol (wine) is the most dangerous substance that should be rejected by the true followers of Jesus.
Muslims are the true followers of Jesus because they practice his teachings, the abstinence from alcohol and the consumption of forbidden foods, and they observe fasting. The 12 disciples fasted after Jesus’ departure, and Muslims obey their teachings whereas the “Christians” today neglect these laws.
Islam, the Kingdom of God, forbids the consumption of alcohol, and purges the society from all social evils.Alcoholic drinks are the only poison that is licensed in many countries. However, Islam took a clear attitude towards alcoholic drinks more than 1400 years ago. Islam prohibits such drinks. Any drink that causes drunkenness is prohibited in Islam regardless of the matter it is made from and regardless of the quantity. According to Islam, if too much of a drink causes drunkenness, then any small quantity of this drink is prohibited, because all alcoholics start with small quantities, and then they become the slaves of alcohol
Paul, the corrupter of the Gospel, made the drinking of wine permissible (1Timothy 5:23) and the Gospel writers reflected his teaching. and This cocktail quality of Western civilization proves that the people of the West are not satisfied with the social structure or the values of their societies and that is why they keep inventing new social trends and ideologies. With this Western chaos of ideologies, how can the ordinary man find mental pace
aadil77 has kindly posted the links to the accounts of Moses (peace be upon him). Interestingly Musa or Moses is the prophet which the Qur'an talks most about.
Yeah Moses is mentioned 136 times in the Quran and Muhammad only 5 times
