freecocoa:honestly speaking, I don't know, its is their choice, it dos not affect my relationship with God. #Tomato,potatoes, who cares ?# I know you are an atheists , don't believe in what this guys here are saying, they are only being manipulated by satan.they accused God of killing innocent people, you are wise right? Go back and review the story in the old testament see if their claimed are true. |
freecocoa:God and angels are referred to as He because they are not just an active FORCE , they are persons but there nature is different from human. They bible do not give much details on the falling angels that made love with the women , but one thing for sure this angels who are spiritual beings cannot Do this acts without possessing a human flash. And WHENEVER the angels assume human form , they appear as male . |
freecocoa:God and angels are spirit, they do not possesed human character,The fact that there are men and women does not require God to have male and female features. Remember, being made in the image of God has nothing to do with physical characteristics. |
by Eric Lyons, M.Min. Three times in the book of Acts, Luke the physician recorded non-Christians asking what they needed to do to be saved, and three times a different answer was given. The heathen jailor from Philippi asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?,” and was told: “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND YOU WILL BE SAVED” (16:30-31). The Jews on Pentecost asked the apostles, “Men and brethren,what shall we do?,” and were instructed to“REPENT AND BE BAPTISED ” (2:37-38). A few years later, Saul (later called Paul Acts 13:9) asked Jesus, Who appeared to Saul on his way to Damascus, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” (9:6; 22:10). After being told to go into Damascus to find out what he “must do” to be saved, Ananias, the Lord’s servant, commanded Saul to “RISE AND BE BAPTISED, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (22:16). The question that many ask is: “Why are three different answers given to the same question?” Are these answers contradictory, or is there a logical explanation for their differences? The reason that three different answers were given to the question of salvation is because on each occasion the questioners were at different “locations” on the road to salvation. The rationality of such answers can be illustrated by considering what a person is told in reference to his physical distance from a certain city. If a friend calls me to ask how far it is from his house in Jackson, Tennessee to my parents’ house in Neosho, Missouri, I would inform him that he is 475 miles from Neosho. If he calls me back the next day, notifying me that he is now in Little Rock, Arkansas, and asks about the distance to Neosho, I would give him a different answer. He now would be 260 miles from Neosho. If,later that evening, he called me one last time and asked how far Fort Smith is from Neosho, again I would give him a different answer— 130 miles. No rational person would accuse me of contradicting myself, since each question was asked from a different reference point. Three different answers were given, but all three were correct. Likewise, the New Testament records three different answers given to the question, “What must I do to be saved,” because the sinners who asked these questions were at different places of understanding on the road to salvation. The Philippian jailor was commanded to believe in Christ, because he had not yet heard and believed the saving message of Jesus (Acts 16:31-32; Romans 10:17). It would have been pointless for Paul and Silas to command the jailor to repent and/or be baptized when he had not yet even heard the Gospel. If today, a Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist, asked a Christian the same question the Philippian jailor asked Paul and Silas, the same answer would need to be given. Before ever teaching a Muslim about the essentiality of repentance and baptism, he first must express belief in Jesus as the Son of God. If this step (i.e., believing) is never taken on the road to salvation, the other steps are meaningless. [NOTE: The Bible reveals that after Paul and Silas “spoke the word of the Lord” to the jailor and his household, they believed and “immediately” were baptized (Acts 16:33). By implication, Paul and Silas must have taught the jailor and his family about the essentiality of baptism after stressing the need to “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” (cf. Acts 8:35-36,38). Question: If water baptism has nothing to do with salvation, then why were the jailor and his household immersed in water not long after midnight (cf. Acts 16:25,33)?] The Jews on Pentecost had already heard Peter’s sermon when they asked their question about salvation (Acts 2:37). Peter knew that they already believed,and that such belief came from hearing the message he preached (cf. Romans10:17). The Jews had passed the point of belief (being “pricked in their heart”), and were told to “repent and be baptized” in order to obtain salvation (cf. Mark 16:16). Still, someone might wonder why Ananias told Saul neither to believe nor repent when he informed him about how to have his sins washed away. The reason: Saul already was a penitent believer in Christ by the time he came in contact with Ananias. Saul did not need to be told to believe or repent, since he had already done so. He knew the Lord existed, having spoken directly with Him on the road to Damascus, and he expressed a penitent attitude by praying to God and fasting for three days (Acts 9:9,11). At this point, Saul lacked only one thing: he needed to be baptized (Acts 22:16). The reason these sinners were told three different things regarding salvation was because they were at different starting points when given the various answers. It is as if the jailor were in Jackson, Tennessee, the Jews on Pentecost in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Saul in Fort Smith. All wanted to go to the same place, but were at different starting points when they asked the question,“What must I do to be saved?” The unbeliever was told to believe. The believers were told to repent. And the penitent believer was told to be baptized. The three statements may be different, but they are not contradictory. For a person to become a child of God, he or she must do all three (see John 8:24; Luke 13:3,5; Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16). |
freecocoa:BOTH male and female were created in HIS IMAGE. |
gabazin080:God pre-determined, not the IDENTITY of the saved,but the CHARACTER of the saved. IDENTITY OR CHARACTER? What is foreknown by God in these verses? Personal identity? Or Character, purpose & plan? Romans 8:29-30, "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the IMAGE of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." 1 Corinthians 2:7, "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:" Remember, God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34; Romans 2:11-12; 1 Peter 1:17). And if God already predestinate our character, then the save need not to worry about the devil ,right? If the saved need not to worry about the devil , why did God say the saved need to beware? (1 Peter 5: .Acts 4:28, "For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel DETERMINED BEFORE to be done." What was "DETERMINED BEFORE?" The death of Jesus! This death had been prophesied as a part of God's plan (Luke 22:21-22; Acts 2:22-23). The Jews did not realize that they were fulfilling God's plan and He did not force them to kill His Son; they were accountable for their own actions. Thank you. |
JustPeace01 you are very good lying, open your eyes, fighting is prescribe for All muslims according to the quran dislike it mean you break the ruled of Allan: Surah 2:216: Fighting is prescribed for you , and ye dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and you know not.” (Yusuf Ali) Muslim apologists deceitfully lie that Islamic wars are always defensive in nature. The following Qur’anic verse exposes this lie. Surah 9:29: FIGHT THOSE WHO BELIEVE NOT IN ALLAH nor the Last Day, NOR HOLD THAT FORBIDDEN WHICH HATH BEEN FORBIDDEN BY Allah AND HIS MESSENGERS , nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued. (Yusuf Ali) Notice, this Qur’anic verse does not command Muslims to fight only those who attack them but to “FIGHT THOSE WHO BELIEVE NOT IN ALLAH.” It also commands Muslims to fight all those who do not “HOLD THAT FORBIDDEN WHICH HATH BEEN FORBIDDEN BY Allah AND HIS MESSENGERS .” This means that if you do not forbid for yourselves that which was forbidden by Allah, such as the eating of pork, then Muslims have every right to fight you. Also, Muslims are commanded to fight all those who do not acknowledge Islam as “the religion of Truth.” Do the words in Surah 9:29 sound like Allah is commanding Muslims to fight only defensive wars? Is it not crystal clear that it is an unmistakable commandment to wage offensive wars against all those who do not believe in Allah, Muhammad, islam or the teachings of the Qur’an? Actually Surah 9:29 is a commandment from Allah to fight the “People of the Book.” The term, “People of the Book” An infidel, who converts to Islam by mistake or to escape death or persecution at the hands of Muslims, cannot thereafter leave Islam. Death is the only Islamic way out! Surah 4:89: They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected Faith, and thus that you all become equal like one another. So take not Auliya’ (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah (to Muhammad). But if they turn back from Islam, take hold of them and kill them wherever you find them and take neither Auliya’ (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them. |

johnydon22:the argument was that "the flood is a myth" the fact that many religion give similar account of the flood indicate its actually happened. Peace!! What about the rest of my post ? |
johnydon22:good, all you need to do is to compear the claimed of this gods with the christians God, most of this gods claims human population being with some group of people.science confirmed just as the bible say , life began with a single cell organism . Here is more amazing proved of the bible: There are Things that no man has ever known, or could conceivably have known,until our century. For this would prove that someone greater than a man had written those books. Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? In the book of Job, Job is asked by a person calling himself God, a list of questions intended to show him how small Job really was in comparison with the universe around him. This particular question demands of Job how the light was parted (by day into night) and how that light makes the east wind blow. Now we, today, can answer that question. Job could not. The light causes the east wind to blow because the dawn heats the air that has been cooled all night. As the air cooled, it had contracted until it basically reached an equilibrium. Then when dawn creeps towards the horizon it begins to heat the air nearby, and as this air is heated it expands, causing a higher pressure than the still- cool air of the night, which makes the east wind “blow”. We know this! God knew this! But NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT LIGHT CAUSES WIND! No one in the entire planet suspected a connection between light and wind until around 500 years ago! Until then no one really had the faintest clue how light really worked! Only God could have inspired that section of Job, probably written thirty- five CENTURIES ago!! Furthermore, when focusing on the first part of that verse “the way light is parted”, the context indicates that the “parting” is referring to day and night – something God seems pretty proud of in Genesis 1. And Job could not have known how the light was parted, for in Job’s day the world was believed to be FLAT! We, today, know that the light is parted because the Earth revolves on its own axis, and faces a constantly moving hemisphere towards the sun. But in Job’s day, NOONE KNEW THAT! The exact dating of Job is much debated, but by internal evidence it seems that it was written perhaps as early as 1700 BC, although some skeptics place it as late as 800 BC. But the earliest secular reference to a spherical Earth is made by Pythagoreas in 570 BC! A few extremely vague hints at it were made previous to that, but nothing that could have inspired the author of Job. But the “God” who asked these questions of Job knew that the Earth was spherical, because… Job 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? We didn’t “walk in search of the depth [of the sea]“, I.E., the deepest part of the ocean, until 1875 when we discovered the deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench (although we weren’t sure it was the deepest point until much later). We didn’t fully survey it until 1951. We didn’t actually “walk” in it until 1960! But how does this prove the existence of God? Simply the fact that in most ancient cultures, the ocean HAD no bottom! The Greek word abyss, used for the deep ocean, literally means “bottomless”! And 3500 years ago, only God could have known with such certainty that the ocean did in fact have a “depth”!! Furthermore, in the same verse, a completely separate proof exists; for to the ancient mind, the idea of a “spring” in the midst of the sea was unthinkable and illogical. Why would there be water pouring INTO the sea from underground – the sea is where water came from! And mankind for all his technological achievements didn’t discover underwater springs until 1949 – A.D.! Almost four millennium after Job was written! And even then, it wasn’t confirmed until 1960, and it wasn’t until 1979 that human beings first saw deep-sea springs with their own eyes! No one but God could possibly have known they existed four thousand years ago! Job 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. Man didn’t measure the circumference (“breadth”) of the Earth with even remote accuracy until Eratosthenes did it in about 240 BC. But God knew exactly how large it was. For He sits “above the circle of it”. Job 38:19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, Until roughly the time of Newton, no one knew that there was a “way” where light “dwells” – that is, a direction where light comes from. Photons, the particles that carry and, for all practical purposes, are light, weren’t discovered until Einstein. The ancient Greeks, arguably the most scientifically advanced of the ancient cultures, believed what we perceived as light was actually “feeling rays” sent by the eye to “look” at the objects, which reflected them and made a picture. None of the Greeks seemed to realize that the idea begged the question of why we couldn’t see in the dark. And they had had the clearest ideas on light to date! Well… except for what God wrote in Job, a thousand years before. Only God knew there was a place where light came from 4,000 years ago. No one really hit on the right idea – except in Job – until about 1000 A.D when the Arabic mathematician Alhazen realized the flaws in the Greek thinking. And it took another 500 years for his ideas to influence Europe through men like Galileo and Newton. And we didn’t REALLY start to understand it until a century ago. Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. According to everyone before 570 BC, the Earth was flat. Even then, and for millennia afterwards, the Earth was held up by something. For the Greeks it was on the shoulders of the god Atlas. For the American Indians it was supported on the back of a giant turtle. Other cultures believed it was on the back of a hog, water buffalo, snake, or elephant. These ideas had the delightful side-benefit of explaining earthquakes, since it logically follows the theory that if Earth was on an elephant’s back and the elephant itched, the Earth would move. The idea of the Earth literally hanging on NOTHING – as in, an Earth in free-fall through space – was one that no ancient mind could have grasped. Newton’s famous “apple incident” gave us the first real clue as to how gravity operated to control bodies at great distances. But 3500 years ago? Only God could have known. This constitutes the first solid proof that the God of the Bible exists. Not just a need for Him to exist, but a demonstrated scientific proof that a Being wiser than man who knew things no man could possibly have known, existed. And that the Bible reveals that Being. http://thesimpleanswers.com/2009/08/08/does-god-exist/ |
menesheh:Genesis 7:19-23 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. … and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth,… All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.… and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. This is God’s version.So did this happen? Was there a world-wide flood? Let’s ask the ancient East Indians, as quoted in the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica: (Deluge article) “The Indian [flood] tradition exists in several forms. The earliest is preserved in the Satapatha Brahmana. It is there related that Manu, the first man, the son of the sun-god Vivasvat, found, in bathing, small fish, … it revealed to Manu the time of the flood, and bade him construct a ship for his deliverance. When the time came, Manu, unaccompanied, went on board; …” More details are added in another version, the Mahabharata, where “Manu,… embarks with the seven rishis, or wise men, and takes with him all kinds of seed. The fish announces himself as the God Brahman…”. (Ibid) The similarity to the Biblical flood legend is obvious; one righteous man commanded by God to build a boat, then later seven other people get into the boat to escape a flood, after being warned by God one week in advance (see Genesis 7:10), taking with them seeds to repopulate the Earth, and a third version adds that animals were also taken. We find the same details, and more, in the more famous Babylonian epic, Gilgamesh. The Epic of Gilgamesh was written perhaps as early as 2100 BC, and on Tablet XI it talks of the story of Utnapishtim, which means “He who found life” – I.E., the man who was saved from the flood. You can read this yourself on Tablet XI, which is all over the internet, but to summarize it says “When their heart led the great gods to produce the flood”, they told Utnapishtim, who plays the part of Noah in this version, “Tear down (this) house,build a ship! Give up possessions, seek your life. Despise property and keep the soul alive. Aboard the ship take the seed of all living things.” So Utnapishtim did, then after loading the boat… “…the south-storm blew, gathering speed as it blew, submerging the mountains, … [later after the rain stopped] I looked about for coast lines in the expanse of the sea … On Mount Nisir the ship came to a halt. … I sent forth and set free a dove. The dove went forth, but came back; There was no resting-place for it and she turned round. [then he sent forth a swallow, then a raven, and the raven didn't return because the waters had receded]” Afterwards, Utnapishtim held a sacrifice (cf Genesis 8:20), and then one of the Gods came and blessed the survivors. The similarities between that and Genesis are astounding; mountains covered, the three birds released, the forewarning to build a ship, seeds and animals taken, ship resting on a mountain, etc. The book of Daniel gives an accurate prediction of world events. Including the rise of the Greek empire followed by the Rome Empire which split into several pieces after its collapse. http://ncbible.org/resources/Danielcomm02.html |
menesheh:the op was not talking about the existence of God,he say, evidence that the bible is real. |
[quote author=Bakrabas post=36459769][/quote]Jesus did not wrote any book ,the gospel of luke and acts were written by luke. |
lexiconkabir:cannal minded man cannot know the nature of God. Miracle doesent happened in muslims home. |
Jagoon:that is the faulty foundation islam is build upon, bible say if the foundation is faulty what can the righteous do? Thank you bro . |
lexiconkabir:okay!!! You know more than yusuf Ali. When will you translate your version of the quran? |
lexiconkabir:as a matter of fact, when Gabriel appear to Mary and Zakaria, they were afraid, then the angel say , FEAR NOT. That's how God angel behave , the word "fear not" indicate he is not a violence angel. Have a nice day. |
lexiconkabir:did you read truthman2012 post ?, YOU, try hader. |
lexiconkabir:go and read the account of the true angel Gabriel visitation to Mary , Zakaria and the rest. All true angel of God introduced themselves because they know satan can disguise himself to deceive people, nonetheless bible encourage us to even test the spirit if they are from God, did muhammed believe the angel when he first saw him ? NO, its was kadijah and waraqa who never saw what happened. say to muhammed, what he saw was an angel. |
lexiconkabir:are all this translations wrong? Surah 17:59: “And We refrain from sending the Signs, only because the men of former generations treated them as false : We sent the she-camel to the Thamud to open their eyes, but they treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs by way of terror (and warning from evil).” (Yusuf Ali) “Nothing hindered us from sending (thee) with miracles, except that the former (nations) have charged them with imposture. We gave unto (the tribe of) Thamud, (at their demand), the she-camel visible (to their sight); yet they dealt unjustly with her: And we send not (a prophet) with miracles , but to strike terror.” (Sale) “What stopped us from sending the miracles is that the previous generations have rejected them. For example, we showed Thamoud the camel, a profound (miracle), but they transgressed against it. We sent the miracles only to instill reverence.” (Khalifa) |
lexiconkabir:(96.15). (Bukahri Volume 9, Book 87, Number 111) The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good righteous (true) dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he used to worship(Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He used to take with him the journey food for that (stay) and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again for another period to stay, till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read." (The Prophet added), "The angel caught me (FORCEFULLY) AND PRESSED ME SO HARD THAT I COULD NOT BEAR IT ANY MORE . He then released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, "I do not know how to read," WHEREUPON HE CAUGHT ME AGAIN AND PRESSED ME THE SECOND TIME TILL I COULD NOT BEAR IT ANYMORE. He then released me and asked me again to read, but again I replied, "I do not know how to read (or, what shall I read?)." THEREUPON GHHE CAUT ME FOR THE THIRD TIME AND PRESSED ME and then released me and said, "Read: In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has created man from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous...up to.... ..that which he knew not." Muhammad was in the cave of Hira to worship Allah alone before the Truth descended upon him. It means he had been worshiping Allah before islam. As you know, Muhammad's father's name is Abduallah, meaning servant of Allah. They are pagan and they worship Allah. Gabriel approach muhammed without saying anything or introduced himself, he just press him and say read , Gabriel begins his revelation with lies. |
lexiconkabir:go and read the account again. |
lexiconkabir:your post make no sense. |
johnydon22:Allah refrain from sending sign long before muhammed. And the fact that muhammed admits, he cannot performed miracle because he is only a human mean we have to question the splitting of the moon, who empowered him ? |
johnydon22:if I say God did not split the moon through muhammed, does it mean I never believe in miracle or I did not believe in the "splitting of the moon" ? |
LushGreenz:Good evening my Good friend, may God bless you for this wonderful word of encouragement. I notice you have been trying to send me an email, sorry , I change my phone, my email wasent activated yet. Bless you. |
lexiconkabir:which angel begin their revelation with violence, Gabriel in the bible is not the Gabriel in the quran, when Gabriel meet Zakaria Mary and Joseph, there is no mention of violence or press the person hard, why is muhammed own different? Muhammed even admits an evil spirit attack him, it was his wife kadijah a business woman who convinced him what he saw was an angel. Is she a prophetess? Or is there any record of kadijah knowing the true God ? |
lexiconkabir:what is your problem with num 1 ? |
lexiconkabir:isaiah 29:11-12 11The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is literate, saying,“Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot,for it is sealed.” 12Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying,“Please read this.” And he will say, “I cannot read.” Notice here, the book is given to both the learn and unlearn and they both can not read it because it was seal, here what revelation say: Revelation 5 The Scroll and the Lamb 5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a SCROLL with writing on both sides and SEALED with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” 6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[ a] of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD, and this book in isaiah 29 was saying, both the literate and the illiterate cannot read the book, surly is a spiritual book and Jesus was able to open it. |
