krattoss:when you see someone serious about God, then you should know, God's there. |
Christians often cite Psalm 14:1 as a rebuke of atheists.However,the Hebrew word translated "fool" doesn't have the same connotations as the English word. The passage actually says that we are all foolish. Psalm 14:1 is the verse that a lot of Christians like to quote to atheists, believing it is a rebuke of their atheism. However, if we look at the entire passage, we see a different picture: Psalms 14:1-3: The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. (2) The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. (3) All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Christians usually only quote the first half of Psalm 14:1, as if it is a slap in the face to atheists. Is this really a verse against atheism? FOOL'S CHARACTERISTIC. The second half of verse 14:1 says "They are corrupt, their deeds are vile." At first, you might think that the "they" are those who disbelieve in the existence of God. However, the end of verse 14:1 says "there is no one who does good." One might still think that the verse is referring to atheists. However, Psalm 14:2-3 make it clear that as God looks down on all people, He can find none who are not corrupt, emphasizing it with "not even one." The Hebrew word translated "fool" is nâbâl, which is an adjective having the meaning of "stupid, wicked" or "vile person." It comes from the root verb nâbêl, which means "to fall away," "figuratively to be foolish or (morally) wicked" or "causatively to despise, disgrace: - disgrace, dishonour." So, the Hebrew word nâbâl refers more to bad moral character rather than just being stupid. He is foolish because he thinks God will not notice his bad behavior. WHO IS THE FOOL? The passage makes it clear that God can find nobody who does good or even tries to understand God's ways. From God's perspective, not one person attains His standard of moral behavior. So, God sees all of us as fools. We all like to compare our behavior to that of others. Example!! When I was still a sinners(atheists)I was morally superior to most Christians. However, I was still not measuring up to God's moral code. HOW TO MEASURE UP. Unless you think you can lead a perfectly moral life, God has a solution for your problem. God's solution is to allow you to trade your moral imperfection for the moral perfection of Jesus Christ. The trade is accomplished through faith in Jesus' sacrifice as payment for your sins. The offer is really generous, but will cost you your self-righteousness. No, you can't remain an atheist either. As the psalmist says, you must "seek God." CONCLUSION The fool says there is no God. But, he is not foolish because he is an atheist, but because he thinks he can get away with bad moral behavior. Psalm 14 goes on to say that all people are corrupt and there is not even one who does good. So, God says that we are all immoral fools. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we He can measure up to the moral perfection required by a Holy God. So what the verse is saying is DON'T BE A FOOL AND THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN. |
vedaxcool:1. He was born of a Virgin – Surah 3:45-47; Surah 19:17-21. 2. He was the Word of God – Surah 4:171. 3. He was a Spirit from God – Surah 4:171. 4. He was Faultless (Sinless) – Surah 19:19. 5. He was the Messiah – Surah 4:171. 6. He was Illustrious in this World and would continue to be so in the Hereafter – Surah 3:45. 7. He was taken to Heaven by God – Surah 4:158. 8. He will come back as a Sign of the Hour of Judgment – Surah 43:61. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 641: Narrated By Said bin Al-Musaiyab: Abu Huraira said, “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘There is none born among the off-spring of Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan, EXCEPT MARY AND HER CHILD .” Then Abu Huraira recited: “And I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from the outcast Satan” (Surah 3:36) Sahih Muslim, Volume 4, pg 1261: Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (saw) as saying: The satan touches every son of Adam on the day when his mother gives birth to him with the EXCEPTION OF MARY AND HER SON. Why should Jesus be the only man who is without sin among mankind? The Qur’an admits his sinlessness but gives us no reason for it. The fact that the Qur’an testifies that Jesus was a prophet does not answer our question. Why then are other prophets not described in the Qur’an as being faultless? In fact, quite a few are shown to be wrongdoers. But we must ask again, “Why was Jesus the only one who is sinless and not other men?” We can only comprehend this if we understand the full significance of Jesus’ role in God’s purpose. We will also appreciate why all these unique features are vested in one man. Since the Qur’an does not reveal what made Jesus so unique, we need to go to the Bible for the answer. |
johnydon22:see who claim to understand the bible!!! I don't need to bother myself in explaining this to you. |
malvisguy212: |
menesheh:yoi are confused, why quote the quran? |
vedaxcool:then you have to explained to us why the quran called Him (Jesus) the spirit and word of God, and also Jesus was able to give life to a lifeless thing. |
johnydon22:is a prophecy which Jesus fullfiled in luke 4; Luke 4:17-21 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[f] 20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “TODAY THIS SCRIPTURE IS FULFILLED IN YOUR HEARING .” |
menesheh:you don't understand the nature of God yet you conclude God is cruel.you say God is wrong? Ok, When Jesus say He fulfilled the law, WHAT EXECTLY is he fullfiling? |
johnydon22:can you provide the verse? |

menesheh:Romans 1:24-32 was talking about homosexual moreover God did not say anything about killing, read the it again https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A24-32. All the rest verse you quote are old testament law which Jesus came to fullfiled by seating an example for us to follow, according to the old testament law, the adulterous woman is soppose to be stoned to death , but by His grace, he was given a second chance to repent. That why Jesus say to her " GO AND SIN NO MORE" . |
malvisguy212:No muslim is able to defend the quran? |
VorkalthDigby:Moses Isaac are a type of christ. |
bilalfarid:both the quran and bible indicate Jesus is the ONLY man whom God spirit is upon, NO other prophet is given this title. All other prophet start their message like this "thus say thy Lord or the Word of God came to Me" ONLY Jesus say VERILY VERILY I say unto you meaning He is thy Lord, The word of God that is sending the prophet. Miracle does not proved if you are genuine man of God or prophet because even satan can empower someone to performed sign and wonders. But muhammed performed zero miracle and did not even here directly from God like the other prophet . |
VorkalthDigby:are you a holy man? Are you blameless? If you are a sinner and you are still alive by his GRACE. does not the 9 people deserve His GRACE ? |
menesheh:A holy God will not command you to fight for Him after he had already gave you freewill. |
johnydon22:YES. |
menesheh:a sinner has NO right to take a life , that why Jesus say to those who want to stone the adulterous woman "he who is WITHOUT SIN should cast the first stone". I condemned the sentence. |
johnydon22:I did not say only christians, I said christians or any other religion. I live with this people infacte there was a time I go to mosque. I know this people very well. |
Rilwayne001:even the quran give Jesus MORE authority than muhammed. |
The good thing (though it's was wrong for sentencing them to death) is that they are ALL muslims, if they are christians or belong to any other religion, not only the 9 people will pay the price, there will be chaos in many places. |
Demmzy15:yes ishmael got is shere because he was the first born and he was from Abraham seed; Genesis 22:17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. possession of the cities of their enemies, This blessing was NOT talking about the prophetic race, it was talking about how God will bless Abraham seed and MULTIPLY it. And because of this ishmael is made a GREAT NATION because he was from Abraham; Genesis 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I HAVE HEARD YOU: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. The first statement from this verse say "I have heard you" meaning Abraham had to intercede for ishmael for his blessing, and God heard Abraham and bless ishmael. But for Abraham, God gave him a special blessing. Here is it: Genesis 17:1 The Sign of the Covenant 17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make MY COVENANT BEWEEN ME AND YOU , and will multiply you exceedingly.” And this same covenant was established in Isaac: And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. - Gen. 17:15-16 The covenant promises would come through Abraham's wife (who had not yet produced a child at age 90). Her name was to be changed to Sarah (noblewoman) to reflect this honour. Gen. 17:19, But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto you at this set time in the next year. God promised a son, to be called Isaac, exactly one year later, and through him would the promises go. God promises that he would bless Abraham's seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand on the sea shore. That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; This blessing was established in Isaac and not ishmael. |
Demmzy15:according to the verse you quote "and when WE made the house a resort to mankind" the house is kabba and it was Allah who made it. Now, how did the “House of Allah” which was “made by Allah” become a pagan temple housing 360 pagan idols? How can a House of God become a pagan Temple of Idols? Why did Allah allow this to occur to his place of worship? If the Ka’ba was the original “House of Allah” as the Qur’an asserts, then there is absolutely no logical or theological reason as to why Muhammad directed the first Qiblah towards Jerusalem – unless he believed that it was holier than the Ka’ba. Muhammad destroyed the rest of the idols at the conquest of Mecca but left the preeminent idol of the Ka’ba – the Black Stone – untouched. Why? |
Demmzy15:which Covenant God established with ishmael? If christians omit ishmael name, what about the quran? Why does it omit ishmael name? By the time God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac his ONLY son, God himself has already sanctions the sending away of ishmael and hagger, God had no hand in ishmael (given birth) but Isaac was the ONLY son God promised Abraham, and it was this ONLY son God told him to sacrifice. ishmael Was the FIRSTBORN but the quran omit his name from the prophetic covenant,why?the covenant is everlasting covenant,THE PROPHETIC RACE, ishmael was not included, two brother(half brother s for that matter) cannot shere the same blessing, Isaac bless jecob but when esau pleaded for his blessing, esau was not bless, WHY? Because the both of them cannot have the same blessing. Can you provide proof that muhammed is from the descended of ishmael? (muhammed genealogy) |
johnydon22:in Christianity, fasting is not compulsory, we are only advice to make peace with God. Luke 18:9-14 The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector 9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I FAST TWICE A WEEK and give a tenth of all I get.’ 13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Some people fast and thought their own goodness was so impressive that it could not fail to make them acceptable to God. This is boasting. But the tax collector would not lift his eyes to heaven, why? Because he feel guilt and ashamed, and he went on and say " Lord have mercy on me a sinner" this is the prayer God want to hear, (make peace with God). |
Johnnydon22 for the first time, we agreed with each other. Keep it up. |
DravenCreighton:Sahih Muslim (Vol 4, pg 1261): Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (saw) as saying: The satan touches every son of Adam on the day when his mother gives birth to him with the EXCEPTION OF MARY AND HER SON. Doesent this proved Jesus is the greatest among ALL ? An ordinary human cannot be adress like this, not even allah greatest prophet, muhammed. In islam Jesus is called wa-ruhun minhu, “a spirit from him.” The same structure is used as for the Word of God: ruh (spirit), min (from), hu (him). In this case we do find some evidence in the Quran that helps us to define the title. The expression occurs again here: These are those in whose hearts he has inscribed faith, and strengthened them with a spirit from himself (Sura 58:22). These are the same words used as in Sura 4:171, ruhun-minhu, “a spirit from him.” Nowhere else in the Quran does this expression occur.In his commentary on the Quran, Yusuf Ali says that the “phrase used is stronger” than that for the Holy Spirit ( Ruhul-Quds) in the Quran who is identified in Islam as the Angel Gabriel. Ali implies that this Spirit of God is greater than the mighty angel and says it is, “the divine spirit which we can no more define adequately than we can define in human language the nature and attributes of God.” The Quran, in the very passage (Sura 4:171) which contains a denial of the deity of Jesus (“Do not say Trinity! God is only one God. Far be it from his glory to have a son.”). paradoxically attributes three titles to him which affirm his deity! He is the Anointed Son of God/ Messiah; he is the divine Word of God, and he is a Spirit coming from God. Jesus was not just another prophet called to office at an appropriate point in time. He is the message of God, he came from God, his very spirit is the Spirit of God. In fact, not only does the Quran affirm the deity of Jesus,it affirms the Christian understanding of the Trinity by its use of the expression ruhun- minhu! Yusaf Ali freely concedes that this is no created spirit of which the book teaches but the divine spirit, which comes from God, and must be defined in the same terms as God. Twice the Quran uses the expression, once for Jesus Christ, and once for the Spirit which comes from God (and strengthens believers), and must be defined in the same terms as God. A closer definition of the Trinity you could hardly hope to find. Sura 58:22 defines the Spirit of God in terms synonymous with those applied to the Holy Spirit in the Bible and Sura 4:171 expressly nominates Jesus in the same terms. |
Demmzy15:which covenant God established with Isaac? Genesis 17:23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him. Abraham circumcised ishmael as God told him mean God established his covenant with him? Both the quran and bible say the covenant God established with Isaac is the PROPHETIC RACE, Psalms 105:7-10: “He is Jehovah our God. His judgement are in all the earth. He has remembered his covenant even forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, the covenant which he concluded with Abraham, And his sworn statement to Isaac, And which statement he kept standing as a statue even to Jacob, As an EVERLASTING COVENANT to Israel.” Surah 29:27: And (as for Abraham), We bestowed upon him Isaac and (Isaac’s son) Jacob, and caused prophethood and revelation to continue among his offspring. The covenant is everlasting one and it's a prophetic covenant, and this covenant continue in his OFFSPRING If Allah intends to include Ishmael, his name would be placed before Isaac, as he was older than Isaac by fourteen years. Muhammed cannot be a descended of Isaac and at the same time ishmael. |
malvisguy212:kheart, I know you cannot answer this questions I ask, if you cannot answer it, then why do you still chose to remain in deception? Hear what Jesus say; Revelation 3:20 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. What is the door? Well, actually the question should be made more specific. Jesus is not just talking about a door. He is talking about a door which is initially CLOSED. This is a closed door which is both keeping us IN, and keeping Jesus OUT. It is a barrier separating us. But once the door is opened, then it is no longer a barrier. It is then a gateway. It is a point of entry. So here we have a closed door which is a barrier.But IF any one will open it, it is no longer a barrier. It is then a gateway. That which keeps Jesus out then becomes the means by which He enters our lives. So what IS this door? Well, it is the gateway to our hearts. It is the gateway to our lives. And WE determine whether to open it. WE do. Not Jesus. WE alone must make that choice. Thank you . Bye. |
kheart:concerning the corruption. I copy this questions I ask your muslim fellow who did not reply me uptil today, now answer it and see were you will land; so were is the original torah ,injil ? Allah continuously making reference to this book indicate this books is in circulation during that time, it is impossible for this books to vanish just like that without a copy, don't you think? Now answer the following question and see were it will land you, if you sincerely answer it, you will discovered soo many lies: 1. At what point did the people corrupted the Torah and Injeel, was it before islam, during Muhammad's time of after him? 2. If it was before islam, why would Allah refer Muhammad to something that is corrupted to make confirmation? 3. If it was after Muhamad had died, how was he able to receive the revelation that the Scripture (Torah and Injeel) had been corrupted? 4. The quran confirms that the Scripture was a clear proof in writings. This means there were copies in circulation. How possible all copies vanished without anyone having a copy anywhere? You should by now discover a lie is told. 5. Why would God be so weak as to allow man throw away His words before He would vow to protect the subsequent revelations? Did He learn from experience? I put it to you the Bible is the Torah and Injeel put in one Book. |
1.surah 10:94 "And if thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the book from before thee..." . "Those who have been reading the book from before thee" are Jews and Christians who read the Torah and the Injil (Gospel)! If they were reading corrupted holy books,their minds would have been influenced by many misconceptions.It would therefore make no sense for Allah to command those who are in doubt to ask Jews and Christians who allegedly were misled by changed Scriptures! In order to follow the mandate in this verse it is absolutely necessary to believe that the Scriptures before Islam are uncorrupted! When did the bible corrupted? 2. More than tewnty quranic verse , when muhammed is ask to performed miracle here the excuse he give: Surah 17:90-93: They said, “We will not believe you unless you cause a spring to gush out of the ground.“Or unless you own a garden of date palms and grapes, with rivers running through it.“Or unless you cause masses from the sky, as you claimed, to fall on us. Or unless you bring GOD and the angels before our eyes. “Or unless you own a luxurious mansion, or unless you climb into the sky. Even if you do climb, we will not believe unless you bring a book that we can read.” Say, “Glory be to my Lord. AM I ANY MORE THAN A HUMAN MESSENGER?” (Khalifa) 3.Both the Qur’an and the Bible tell us very clearly that Jesus had no human father. We must therefore ask ourselves this vital question, “Since Jesus is addressed as a ‘son’ by the angel Gabriel both in the Qur’an (Surah 19:19) and in the Bible (Luke 1:35), whose son is he?” Is it Mary’s? In Surah 19:19, the angel Gabriel said to Mary: “I am only a messenger of thy Lord, to announce to thee the GIFT of a holy son .” Here, Gabriel refers to a son who was to be given as a “gift” by God to Mary. Since the Qur’an makes it very clear that the son is a gift from God, it shows that Mary was only the recipient of that gift. She is not the source of that gift but God. The gift belongs to God. The gift was a son. Therefore, the son belongs to God which means the son was His or His son. In other words, God’s son. This testifies to the Gospel truth that Jesus is the SON OF GOD. Christians worship ONE GOD with three personalities, genesis 1:27 say let US create man in OUR IMAGE >>image indicate ONE GOD and the US indicate more than ONE essence.the quran use plurality like WE, US and OUR . Can you explained? 4. Surah 19:33: Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive! (Pickthall) The chronological sequence of event is understood here.BORN, DIE,RESSURECT and the same phrase is use for John the baptist here, Note the similarity in the wordings: Surah 19:15: And peace on him on the day he was born, and on the day he dies, and on the day he is raised to life. (Shakir) If Jesus did not die, then John also did not die, will John came back again and die?[/quote] kheart:concerning the corruption, I will come to that. |
