Exodus 40:29-32 “He set the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings, as the Lord commanded him. He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet. They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses.

This is not relevant to this thread but I want to bring this up to show you how effective the propaganda machine is, please pay attention to words and I will try to make it as plain as possible for you in English.

Most of you reading these tweets are non-Arabs and you may be thinking that surely Arabs won’t fall for these play on words?
We will now carry on with our regular tranmission of the Bible quotes
You are right in one sense but terms like "Allahu-Akbar", "Salah", "Eemaan" are not native to Arab Christians is what I am trying to point out.
Firstly, I know the bible fairly well. Secondly, I have interacted with and discussed Christianity with many Christians and priests over the past 2-3 decades.
I am quoting just a few or may be even a single verse on a topic and not exhausting the whole discussion on a topic.
When you choose to present these verses to a Christian, the standard responses will be:
Christians will tie themselves in knots trying to answer questions about the “bible” and eventually change the subject to talk about “Love” and “Jesus”. They will deflect and cast aside questions about the bible and even turn around and say “What if I started quoting verses from the Qur’aan about Jihad and killing people etc?”
The only difference is that we Muslims will be happy to take on any questions on the Qur’aan and will gladly answer them in detail and always do.
And now normal service resumes...
Exodus 35:1-3 “Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded you to do: For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.
Exodus 22:29-30 “Do not hold back offerings from your granaries or your vats.You must give me the firstborn of your sons. Do the same with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but give them to me on the eighth day
Ezekiel 20:25-26 “So I gave them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live; I defiled them through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.’
P.S: Child sacrifice is actually pretty common in the bible and repeated and/or alluded to many times.
Leviticus 15:19-20 “When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening. “‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
