Heart Lamb

Lamb having heart or lung trouble?!?!?

I have a Market Lamb, A Hamp, and when ever we get him out of the pen to work with him, he Jumps instead of walks, and then he lays down and pants real hard after about 3 jumps, he acts like he is very exhausted, i need to find the illness within the next week because i show in about 2 weeks plz help!

There is no way I could answer this correctly without having seen the lamb, but I do have a couple of other questions that might help you along your way.

Are you sure it is not feet or leg problems? Check his feet, legs for cuts, swelling, and other unusual things. Does he limp when he walks around in his pen?

Has he been eating well? Does he have diarrhea? That would be an indication of a real illness.

Here's my best guess. One thing that is very common in lambs is that they eat too fast and often get obstructions in their throats. Usually this causes choking, which leads to death by suffocation. However, your lamb might have a partial obstruction which is allowing him to breathe, but not very well. You might be able to see the obstruction and free it, if not, a vet can.

Whatever the solution turns out to be, your lamb has been under a lot of stress. I would advise giving him some B-12 complex (get it from your vet) to help boost his system and get him back to normal before your show.

In Bible versus Quran: Is the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb?

The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (19)

This is the 19th article of the series:" The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran".

The Bible says: Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. Be holy in all you do; Live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. But with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.  For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall.

The Noble Quran says that Jesus, the son of Mary, was only a messenger sent to his people; and it is an unforgivable sin if you say or believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or sons; this major sin will lead to the Eternal Fire in the Hereafter. Also the Quran says that the whole worlds, not only this world, are under the control of Allah.

In addition, the Bible says that the precious blood of Christ is as of a lamb. According to the Quran, it is an insult to say that Jesus' blood or any other prophet's blood is like a lamb's blood.

The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (19)

The Bible (1 Peter 1:13-25) says:

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.  But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God. Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you.

--------------------------------------------

 

1 Peter 1:13-25 in three different versions of the Bible:

 

New International Version

13Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

14As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

15But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

16for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

17Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.

18For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

20He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

21Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

22Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.

23For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

24For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

25but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you.

 

King James Version

13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

 

Young's Literal Translation

13Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

14as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance,

15but according as He who did call you [is] holy, ye also, become holy in all behaviour,

16because it hath been written, `Become ye holy, because I am holy;'

17and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the time of your sojourn pass ye,

18having known that, not with corruptible things -- silver or gold -- were ye redeemed from your foolish behaviour delivered by fathers,

19but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ's --

20foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you,

21who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

22Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

23being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God -- living and remaining -- to the age;

24because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,

25and the saying of the Lord doth remain -- to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (19)

The Noble Quran says that even the believers among the Jinn (invisible creatures) believe that Allah, the Almighty Creator) has taken neither spouse nor son as the disbelievers claim; and that Satan used to utter atrocious lies against God, by attributing to Him a spouse and a son.

Also, the Quran answers the claim of the Jews and the Christians who said

None shall enter Paradise except those who are Jews or Christians

Each party separately was claiming Paradise for its members exclusively.

Essentially, the Quran decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.

It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.

Allah is exalted, magnified; He is above what they associate with Him of son or partners.  Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!

In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.

1. Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.

From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:

Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes up his faith and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.

Any one who believes that the Almighty Creator has no son or partner, he has a good faith and is considered as a believer; and in the afterlife, he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise. 

Verses 72:1-5 and 2:111-112 of the Noble Quran make the topic of the son(s) of God plain, clear and understandable.

--------------------------------------------

 

Verse 72:1

The background of the verse

The Prophet Muhammad was praying the Morning Pray (about one hour before the sun rise) at a location which is near Mecca. The Prophet was reciting the Quran during his Morning Pray. Then, it happened that a company of nine jinn listened to the recitation of the Prophet Muhammad.

These Jinn believed in the Quran.

Upon returning to their folk (their tribe of Jinn), after accepting faith, they said to them: O our folk! We have listened to the recitation of a marvelous Quran, which guides to righteousness.

These jinn were those mentioned in Allah’s saying:

"And when Allah sent a company of jinn your way…’ [See verse 46:29].

Jinn are invisible creatures; the Angel Gabriel has come down and informed the Prophet Muhammad about their story.

The meaning of the verse 72:1:

Say, O Muhammad, to the disbelievers of Mecca that it has been revealed to me that a company of Jinn listened (to the Qur'an); and they said: "we have really heard a marvelous recital!"

 

The meanings of verse 72:2

The Jinn continue: "The marvelous recital we have heard guides to rectitude, to faith and propriety; which leads to the Truth, guidance and right course, i.e. to “there is no deity except Allah”, Therefore we believe in it and we will never, after this day, associate anyone with our Lord (and we ascribe unto our Lord no partner)".

 

The meanings of verse 72:3

The Jinn continue: "And, now we believe that He-exalted be the glory of our Lord and that the dominion of our Lord is exalted; the tremendousness, sovereignty, absoluteness and attributes of our Lord are far exalted; transcendent is His majesty and magnificence above what is ascribed to Him.

And He has taken neither spouse nor son as the disbelievers claim",

 

The meanings of verse 72:4

The Jinn continue: "And that the devil, Satan, the foolish and the ignorant one among us used to utter atrocious lies against God, extreme calumny by attributing to Him a spouse and a son".

 

The meanings of verse 72:5

The Jinn continue: "And we thought that humans and jinn would never utter a lie against God, by attributing such things to Him, until we discovered their mendacity thereby.  In other words, the verse says: And lo! We had supposed that humankind and jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah) and we thought that what humans and the jinn said about Allah was not a lie, but we know now that it is".

From the beginning of the Surah (Chapter 72) up to this verse, Allah related what the jinn said.  The interested reader is invited to read the whole Surah (chapter 72) of the Noble Quran.

-------------------------------------------

 

The meanings of Verse 2:111

The Jews and the Christians who used to dwell around the Saudi Arabia said when they disputed with the Prophet Muhammad: "None shall enter Paradise except those who are Jews or Christians".  Each party separately was claiming Paradise for its members exclusively.

Allah answered both of them in this verse and said:

"Such, sayings, are their vain desires, their false passions. Say, to them O Muhammad: ‘Bring your proof from your own respective Books (if you are truthful) in your claim".

 

The meanings of Verse 2:112

Nay, it is certainly not as you have claimed, but whoever submits his whole self to Allah (his Almighty Creator) and is a doer of good, whoever makes sincere his Religion and works to Allah,  he will get his reward with his lord in Paradise; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. In other words, there shall no fear come upon them about staying eternally in hell neither shall they grieve about the prospect of missing Paradise.

Verse 72:1

Verse 72:5

SHAKIR: and that we thought that men and jinn did not utter a lie against Allah:

YUSUFALI: 'but we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah.

-------------------------------------------

 

Verses 2:111-112 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

Verse 2:111

QARIB: they say: 'none but Jews and Nazarenes shall be admitted to paradise. ' such are their wishful fancies. say: 'bring us your proof, if what you say is true. '

SHAKIR: and they say: none shall enter the garden (or paradise) except he who is a Jew or a Christian. these are their vain desires. say: bring your proof if you are truthful

PICKTHAL: and they say: none entereth paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian. these are their own desires. say: bring your proof (of what ye state) if ye are truthful.

YUSUFALI: and they say: "none shall enter paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." those are their (vain) desires. say: "produce your proof if ye are truthful."

 

Verse 2:112

QARIB: indeed, whoever submits his face to Allah and does good works shall be rewarded by his lord; there they shall have nothing to fear nor shall they be saddened.

SHAKIR: yes! whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and he is the doer of good (to others) he has his reward from his lord, and there is no fear for him nor shall he grieve

PICKTHAL: nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, his reward is with his lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.

YUSUFALI: nay,-whoever submits his whole self to Allah and is a doer of good,- he will get his reward with his lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
