Do you have a copy of the Qur'an? If you do, are there any Sura's that speak of or show love? Hi Lola. That is a funny question Yes i do have a copy of Qura'an. I would not talk about it unless i read it. in its native la
I don’t have to go to the Middle East to know and understand what is happening over there...namely, A friend of mine wrote a letter to the Ambassodor of Turkey to express
It’s no secret that radical Muslim jihadist’s main intention is to Islamify (impose Sharia) the entire world according to the teachings of the Qur’an. this is a great misconception and I wrote several times about that both in many comments and in separate article. And according to the teachings of Qura'
So don't feel bad, but in Christian circles it is a commonly used word... you get used to it, then you use it in public, and people get confused! very true . I didnt feel bad, i realized that the word has two meanings. I just neve
But all of these "solutions" are nothing more than a panacea, a placebo, something that may take care of the immediate needs and do nothing to solve the underlying problems. I wish I could say I have all the answers, but I don't. But I do know that our current course is not working, and that all these problems are is votes to politicians who have a vested interest in maintaining employment. And that the political war on these social il
The woman, even before she is pregnant, is not properly equipped to choose That is why you are Anti-Choice? and btw, equipped with what? what are you equipped with that she doesnt have? ....... oooh.... i see. I GOT it. Is THAT what you use for thinking? no wonder.
TA have you ever thought of using a dictionary? The word is in there.Apologist:n. A person who makes an apology or defense in speech or writing 2. a. Also apologete, a person skilled in apologetics. b. One of the authors of the early Christian apologies in defense of the faith. No, KFC. You just inform
As for bread, I don't pay $1.99/loaf, but I suppose the same crowd that's too good for rice and beans would be too good to buy their bread at a thrift store, where it's less than HALF that...for GOOD quality, whole grain bread! Honestly, i try my best to find the cheapest market around.and i try to get them when they put them on sale but these are the regular prices. the same also apply to the cost in 1970's. and who said rice and beans are not good enou
Well looks like we have a consensus, that none of us agrees. I'd say that is probably not overwhelming evidence of divine existence. ooh really? i would say it is a FIRM evidence. do you see anything else in this universe behaving like that? if all this universe including us is a result of som
In this instance, an apologist is someone who defends his faith. at certain times, someone who defends his faith is an apologist ? Hmmmmm .....!!!!! Does that apply to you too? or it only applies to others? very arrogant way to treat others, imho.
Finish the sentence...people of the Book (those Jews and Christians) who do not believe in the religion of Mohammed (Islam) and in Mohammed himself. That would be me. Lola, I told you what the Islamic scholars wrote about that verse and also about similar verses related to Non-believers in general. All
I was trying to keep the discussion more focused on whether or not SS and the Qur'an was of Divine origin That is a topic worthy of a lot of studying of texts involved not casual snippets from here or there. Just for your information: i dont say anything regarding the OT, the NT or Qura'an that is not based on careful reading and rereading of the texts. The whole Text not just a line from here or there and after tying it to what is said in othe
My problem with the whole Islam/Qur'an thing is that in reality Arab Christians aren't now or ever have been given real freedom of conscience in any of the Muslim controlled I dont know where did you get that information. It is TOTALLY false. You should take a trip to the middle east. Sometimes i am surprised that this Idea is still there. For how long we, here in the USA, will continue to be ill-informed about 1.5 billion of humans and what they do or
Today at $7.25 you're barely scraping by!!! So what you've proven is that our minimum wage has not kept up with inflation not exactly. that $7.25 will be in 2009. but who cares ..... no one will notice. You can always spin numbers and statistics anyway you like. It always depends on how c
Please understand that I don't believe for a New York minute that the Qur'an is of Divine origin. That is fine Lola. Belief is a personal thing. Second, there is abso
Correct me if I'm wrong TA (I haven't read every response here) but you're coming from a mostly or mainly Muslim mindset which doesn't allow for a personal relationship with the God of the universe such as I just laid out here Muslims' mindset actually emphasizes that PERSONAL relationship to a great
I don't believe God is limited at all. Where in the world did you get that idea? Sorry KFC if i thought you also think He did not Create Satan.
Someone told me of a book about Islam entitled, The Life and Religion of Mohammed, by a priest, Rev. J.L what did you expect from a priest to say about that? that is why the original speaks for itself. if you like to know go to the source and study and judge for yourself without bias or prejudgement. th
What if Muhammad was a liar about the bizarre circumstances of encountering the angel Gabriel? the same could be said about Moses and Jesus, Abraham and all the rest. the way you believe in any of them is the same. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Bod
No, God didn't create Satan for we know that everything He created was "good"...and there is nothing good about Satan. you see what I mean about taking "Others" words as His? if he created ONLY "good" so how did the "bad" exist? notice i did not ask where did it come form? i said how did it become an e
I don't believe TA that God would ALLOW his words to be corrupted. He is preserving them. Again KFC? we established that not everything there IS HIS WORDS. how many examples do you need to acknowledge that? even lola, accepts that. He preserved HIS words not others understanding of them. His words were
I absolutely believe that the words in that original are the same we are reading today. Absolutely. God is not just about revelation and illumination but also about preservation. God is in control Existing texts dont indicate that they match the originals. Many versions, many interpretitions wrong tra
I don't see this in any version. What version are you referring? This is what 2:4 says: I am using NEW RSV. and the statement " Another Account of the Creation" comes after 2:4. i said that already. this account starts at 2:5 by saying: "In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens
That's why I said that every word is written by God, not literally, but every word is meant to be there as coming from Him. Everyone of the sacred writers were the instruments of God. To repeat: When we say that SS is the very word of God, we don't mean that He actually wrote it Himself I think you go
The evidence you cite, is not from first hand sources, it is also hardly historically correct. There are plenty of stories that people feel perfectly acceptable taking as figurative rather then literal connotations of history. There are no words, directly from God in any of the texts or historical documents. Only those words and
