I think he did copy-and-paste from somewhere.
But that looks like a concordance attached with NIV version
So as he's giving out the scriptures, he tries to point out the words that the concordance marked as 'Elohim' or 'Eloha', 'Yahweh' etc. Remember, the Bible was written in Hebrew, so the translators didn't always translate each thing word for word, instead they translated in a way that made sense to combine as a sentence. They changed certain words like that to a more reader-friendly version... Hence the need for a concordance in order to see the exact translation...

This is from NIV

Deuteronomy 13:6-10
New International Version

6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.



This is his own attached version

AntiChristian:


Deuteronomy 13 from 6
If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods "(Elohim)” (which neither you nor your fathers have known, 7the gods (Elohe) of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other), 8you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.

Why not ask him the reason why he edited the words from the original texts to put his own words that will suit his nonsense, stupidity and ignorance?

MUST THEY LIE TO COVER THE SHAME IN ISLAM? Ask him that too since he is your brother


preciousee17:



I'm a Christian, did I make myself sound like a Muslim? :O
Well, I know their beliefs a little, and the claim to be worshipping the same God of Abraham in the old testament, so they claim to be worshipping our 'Elohim'...
Let this not bother you, I may not be able to explain this well.
Please disregard if you don't understand.

Maybe you should revisit your previous post for comprehensive purposes

preciousee17:


Again, on the part of the Muslim brother, this is a pointless argument, what was the aim? That we are worshipping Angels or gods?
Remember, that same 'Elohim' is who you all refer to when you use the old testament of the Bible to confirm your Abrahamic and Allah-ic stories...

Why separating yourself from the Christendom if at all you are a Christian as you previously said?

Otem's book of history is your best source for the answer. They're a group of gods or godhead headed by god El and worked in league with Allah/Yahweh in the Old World to enslave humans via religion.

Whenever you read your Bible or Qur'an (especially those parts in the latter where Allah says 'We'), just have it at the back of your mind, these are the group (Elohim in league with Allah/Jehovah) being referred to. Those are the entities you, Muslims and Christians, worship.

All of them are past humans.

They're all trivial and tiny in the current scheme of things.
Your misconception, misunderstanding and disbelief of Allah apart, how 'trivial and tiny in the current scheme of things' was He (Allah) according to your assertion or conviction?
'Scheme' of which 'things' was outside the knowledge of Allah, which things has He not determined or not understand His control before your conception, existence and after your extinction?

You're not worth my time, Allah's spokesman.
