In Bible versus Quran: What Flesh and Blood God offered the Birds and Beasts?

The Lord God's Invitation in Bible versus Quran (1)



In His strange Invitation (Ezekiel 39:17-20), the Lord Jehovah says;

And you son of man, Speak unto the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. And you shall eat fat till you are full, and drink blood till you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. And you shall be filled at my table with chariots, with horses and riders, with mighty men, and with all men of war.



It should be emphasized that the "Drunken Birds" of drinking blood of the princes of the earth is not mentioned therein in the Quran; and the Quran says that the birds in general live in communities like human beings. [Read the article: The ostrich in Bible versus Quran (1)].



On the other hand, Allah invites the People in the Quran, He says:

O people Keep your duty to your Lord; obey your Lord; fear the Lord and fear the torment of a day (the Day of Judgment) when no parent shall avail a child, thereon in any way; and no child, thereon, shall avail its parent in any way. Surely Allah’s promise of resurrection after death will truly take place.

So, do not let the life of this world deceive you. Let not the comfort and adornment of the life of this world beguile you, nor let the deceiver (Satan) deceive you concerning Allah, because of His forbearance and His granting respite for the disbelievers.

The Lord God's Invitation in the Bible (1)



Ezekiel 39:17-20 (English Standard Version)



17"As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: Speak to the birds of every sort and to all beasts of the field, 'Assemble and come, gather from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood.

18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, of bulls, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.

19And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you.

20And you shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,' declares the Lord GOD.

The Lord God's Invitation in the Quran (1)



Verse 31:33 (Yusuf Ali Translation)



O mankind! Do your duty to your lord, and fear (the coming of) a day when no father can avail aught for his son, or a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the promise of Allah is true: let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver deceive you about Allah.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Treatment of Hip Dysplasia in Dogs By Kelly Marshall

Canine hip dysplasia in dogs is a very common degenerative disease, having said that it does not always affect all dogs. However there can also be many misconceptions regarding this disease, some that are known and some that are not.

A young dog who has an abnormal development of the hip joint will suffer eventually from hip dysplasia, this does not necessarily mean that it will be bilateral, affect both the left and right side. It happens because of the laxity of the muscles, connective tissue and ligaments that would normally support the joint.

The majority of dysplastic dogs are born with normal hips, although in some due to genetic and other factors, the tissues surrounding the joint can develop abnormally as the puppy starts to grow. The changes that this causes are that the bones actually move instead of being held in place.

This will cause the joint capsule and ligament between the two bones to stretch; this adds further instability to the joint. Once this happens the surface of the two bones will lose contact with each other. The separation of these two bones within the joint is known as subluxation, the results of these problems, are what are associated with this disease.

A lot of dogs who suffer from this disease are primarily the large and giant breeds, although it can be found in medium sized breeds and very rarely in the smaller breeds. The breeds who have a higher incidence of hip dysplasia are, Golden Retrievers, Labrador, German shepherd, Saint Bernards, Great Danes and Rottweillers.

Treatment for hip dysplasia can vary between several surgical procedures, although this also depends on the age and severity of joint degeneration. A lot also depends on the dog’s age and health before any surgery.

Triple Pelvic Osteotomy; (TPO) is normally a procedure that is used for young dogs under 10 months of age, these will have had radiographs which shows severe hip laxity, at this young age they will not have developed damage to the joints. This is major surgery and expensive but is very successful.

A total replacement of the hip is often advised for a dog that has degenerative joint disease due to chronic hip dysplasia. This type of surgery involves removing the existing joint and replacing it with prosthesis. The dog must be skeletally mature and weighing at least 20 pounds, there is no maximum size limit, if both hips have to be replaced then usually a three month rest period is advised between the surgeries.

Medically hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis has been improved over the years with the introduction of new supplements and drugs. Hip dysplasia is primarily an inherited disease therefore no products on the market can prevent the development. If you start by giving your dog a proper diet, exercise, supplements and pain relief, this may help to decrease the progression of the joint disease.

Weight management and exercise for your dog from an early age can help to prevent many diseases, although sometimes as mentioned hip dysplasia can be genetic. Those of you who are thinking of acquiring a puppy can always ask the breeder about hip dysplasia of the chosen breed.

What You Need to Know About Terriers By Jeff Nenadic

Terriers are easily one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. Seven different breeds of terriers exist around the world. In fact terriers are among the 50 most popular dogs worldwide. Its not surprising that such is the case. As a whole, terriers are pert companions. Playful and robust, these little dogs work well with people and offer a lot of love. As with any animal, they have certain personality quirks. But for the most part, terriers don’t require a lot of maintenance, and grooming can be kept to a minimum. The Yorkshire Terrier deviates from this standard, however. It has a silky coat of fur that needs to be brushed daily to keep tangles from forming.

The Advantages of Terrier Ownership
Since terriers are nice temperaments and socialize easily with family and others, they get along with most people. The breed has a long life expectancy and can easily live to be seniors. At the same time, terriers seem to easily get into trouble and find joy in doing things that makes people laugh or pay attention to them.

Terriers are quite comfortable sitting beside their owners on the couch or a chair. They enjoy cuddling, but they are also easily distracted. Though small, terriers need to maintain some degree of physical activity. They enjoy chasing other animals or humans. Terriers normally favor the outdoors and take a certain affinity to wet and snowy weather. Their hair is water resistant for the most part. However, terriers should be kept inside during extreme weather.
Since they are small, terriers are fairly inexpensive to feed, as opposed to their larger breed counterparts. Strong and sturdy, terriers are not prone to many medical conditions, if you purchase them from an accredited breeder. Some terriers have allergies or Von Willebrands Disease. Others may experience problems during birth, but breeders can screen for these conditions.

The average lifespan of a terrier ranges anywhere from 12 to 15 years. Even as they age, terriers remain alert and attentive to their surroundings.

The Trials of Terrier Ownership
As with any other breed, owning a terrier comes with its own unique set of challenges. Terriers are generally known for being barkers and for their ability to entertain themselves. They would rather be with people than be alone and show their emotions quite easily.

Terriers were originally bred for their hunting and digging abilities, and many terriers still retain those abilities. Because of their independence, terriers may have a hard time adjusting to other pets, especially if the dog has not been around many people or animals. Â They can also be quite obstinate in the sense that they will ignore commands and can as a result find themselves in tragic situations.

In an effort to protect their territory, terriers may confront breeds that are larger than themselves. They should also be watched in other public situations and be kept on a leash.

Even though terriers are quite friendly, they can be hard to train and snappy at times. You should watch terriers around children as they will nip if their food or toy is touched. Terriers, though adaptable to a variety of environments, may actually get bored with certain activities and will go off on their own. They will ignore training completely if you are not firm enough.

While terriers are responsive to praise and rewards, they do not respond well to punishment or criticism. In fact, they may become aggressive, if exposed to negative human behavior.

Though terriers are great companions to almost everyone, they do some very special care. They do well when they are trained consistently, and they thrive off of socialization and love.

Showing Your Pedigree Dog By Jeff Nenadic

There are many reasons why people like to show their dogs and it is a rewarding practice for individuals and kennels alike. You might like to enter your dog for obedience trials because he enjoys it and you are proud of him; you might like the competition element of shows or it may be that you just like to be around fellow dog owners, comparing your dogs. There are two main categories of shows: a) Pedigree dog shows requiring you to demonstrate that your dog matches the breed standards set by the kennel club in which your dog is registered and b) All dog trial and events, irrespective of breed, registration or heritage where your dog will be judged solely on his ability to perform the activity for which he is entered.

If you are considering showing your pedigree dog for the first time, it might be worth employing the services of a professional dog handler. You will be able to draw on the experience and benefit from the opinion of the dog handler, who will very quickly evaluate your dogs most positive skills. If you decide to that this the route you wish to follow, ensure that the dog handler spends time working with your dog well before the show.

Your pedigree dog will be in competition with others of his breed or judged by the standards appertaining to their national or international kennel clubs. Countries such as the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia have kennel clubs which organize events locally, nationally and internationally. Only pedigrees can be registered in these clubs and participate in the shows. No crossbreeds are allowed. Kennel clubs outside of the USA place various breeds in different categories but none of them will recognize crossbreeds or dogs that do not have proper registration papers.

Make sure that you know the standards set for your breed by the kennel club where your dog is registered. Read as much as you can about their standards because if you get it wrong, you may be disqualified from entering or participating in the show.

Visit as many shows and events as you can and observe the adjudicators or judges. Note down anything the judges say about competitors at the time they have made their selections of winners. If you know what the judges like you can take special care to train your dog so that he will please the judges. Naturally judges are bound to make their decision based on the standards that have been set by a kennel club, but each judge will place their own interpretation on those standards.

One day before the show, put a lot of effort into the bathing and grooming of your dog, clipping is nails and cleaning his teeth where necessary. This is not something you should leave until the last moment.

On the day of the show, relax with your dog, walk around the show area and make sure he relieves himself. Where possible you should try to take him to areas where there are spectators gathering and around the ring so that he can become accustomed to these new surroundings. If he is made comfortable in the environment he will perform better in the ring.
