Gabrielshow24:In meaningful communication it is important to consider the intellectual capacity and ability of your audience. You risk loosing desired result when your language confuses them |
Gabrielshow24:However it is not in doubt that this statement is made by Paul who didn't physically meet Jesus during his prophethood or evangelism. I am not introducing anything but pointing you to an exaggeration you choose to accept. |
Gabrielshow24:Infinite D, 3-D, 5-D may not be necessary when you want to explain simply. Using these make you seem like another group that claim an odd awareness or frequency spiritism. The ones I know are atheists |
Gabrielshow24:No one has ever truly seen God in His complete divine form, as the Scriptures make it clear that no one can see God and survive (Exodus 33:20, John 1:18). The phrase the fullness of God dwells in Christ (Colossians 2:9) is a metaphor that Paul uses, not Jesus. It doesn’t imply that Jesus is God; instead, it suggests that Jesus embodies God’s wisdom, guidance, and authority—similar to other prophets. Prophets like Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel experienced visions or symbolic representations of God like the Ancient of Days but they didn’t encounter His actual essence. These appearances, known as theophanies, were limited and often veiled, taking forms like fire, cloud, or an angel. Take note and understand theophany and it's use in the scripture. |

TenQ:A claimed knowledgeable is ignorant. What is the correct information of the unitary almighty God that you claim is trinity? Remember you are the one likening what you worship to a human that has a spiritual and soul aspect. Address this first before showing more depth of your ignorance. |
TenQ:It's your folly. That the shaitan has a physical body that will be burnt though different from the human body is the point. Redeemed by who? You that is in need of redemption? Anyway explain your trinity redeemer first. I insist you cannot. |
MightySparrow:Virgin conception is confusing only because you have a diminutive view of the almighty and only God. Aren't there creations of God that don't require a pair to propagate? If as you say Christianity isn't logical then is it a religion for the irrational? Please review your statements before you make them |
TenQ:No wonder. You don't know shaitan has a body even if different from yours. 🤣🤣🤣 Again it is your Christian belief that you wouldn't bodily enter paradise. In any case this isn't the main issue. Explain your trinity in non confusing terms Tenq diversionary expert |
TenQ:You start with your analogy of claiming confusion of scientists and your trinity definitely because the concept is nothing other than confusion. The imaginary root is accurately described and understood by scientists though. So there goes another lie of yours. The utility and consistency of complex numbers, built upon the imaginary unit, are widely accepted and applied. It seems you are also stating the imaginary nature of your TRINITY. LOL |
TenQ:You enter paradise in spirit but those in hell have their spirit or body repeatedly burning? Can fire burn the spirit? Bring a mathematical jargon to show this. |
TenQ:You see how you again start with your equation then divert from it? Mr nonsensical confusion player why don't you explain the basics you feel I don't understand then show how it applies to your view of trinity? The same old you cannot explain because you definitely confuse yourself in linking it. |
TenQ:When the Body of your crucified Jesus was dead was his soul or spirit part in your trinity dead or alive? Then the father too? Does your trinity not say they are all co equal, existing etc..? Please tell why the coequality didn't all die and resurrect? Then when they were dead how come the world didn't seize to exist? |
TenQ:A liar will always make new statements to divert. "And do not say of those who are slain in the way of Allah, ‘They are dead.’ Rather, they are alive, but you perceive not." Surah Al-Baqarah (2:154); You want to know and see the spirits of prophets and the righteous praying? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You probably might when you exist solely in the spirit form. Are you trying to redefine i as a non abstract which exists outside the number line of real numbers? Is it a falsehood that abstract nature of mathematics means that its truth and reality are distinct from the empirical truth and physical reality we experience? ? ? |
TenQ:The way you run to the defined abstracts of mathematical principles shows you cannot explain your belief in clear terms. Lie that you will not introduced the imaginary unit, i, to provide solutions to equations that have no real number solutions, Do you disagree that the Trinity is made up of three distinct persons who are unified, co-equal, and co-eternal? This is quite different from how human beings are made up of parts that, while essential, don’t have their own separate personalities or roles so that human analogy fails flat. |
Ken4Christ:Interesting it is that you state the law of the old testament ended when Jesus says Jesus warns that even the smallest letter of the law holds significance in Matthew 5:18, indicating that all aspects of the Old Testament retain their value. What interpretation are you alluding to? Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven…” — Matthew 5:17–19 |
TenQ:Just to satisfy my best effort to answer your usual bother. The poor will enter Paradise five hundred years before the rich. The Prophet (pbuh) often emphasized the virtues of the poor, providing comfort and a spiritual outlook for those facing hardships. This isn’t about condemning wealth itself. This hadith doesn’t criticize all wealthy individuals; rather, it serves as a caution about the pitfalls of wealth, the delays in accountability, and a reminder that being poor in this world doesn’t mean you’re out of favor with God. 2. Why 500 Years Before? 1. Wealthy individuals have more to answer for. They must account for how they earned their money, how they spent it, and whether they gave zakah, helped others, or hoarded it. This results in a longer reckoning (ḥisāb) on the Day of Judgment. Consequently, the poor, with fewer responsibilities, are judged more swiftly and can enter Paradise sooner. 2. Five Hundred Years = A Half-Day in the Hereafter According to Qur’an 32:5: “A day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.” So, 500 years is just half a day in God’s eyes—not a literal measure of time, but a metaphor for delay and anticipation. 3. Spiritual Honor & Consolation The poor often endure suffering in this life. Allah honors them by granting them early access to Paradise as a reward for their patience and their lack of worldly excess. 3. Does That Mean All Poor Are Better Than the Rich? Not at all. Islam doesn’t glorify poverty itself. Instead: Poverty accompanied by patience and righteousness is esteemed. Wealth that is met with gratitude and generosity is also commendable. The Prophet (pbuh) said: “How excellent is wealth for a righteous man!” (Musnad Ahmad, Sahih) Thus, wealthy believers who give, engage in charity, and remain humble will also find their way to Paradise, but they will face a longer period of accountability. 4. Balance in Other Hadiths To avoid any misconceptions, Islam presents a balanced perspective. The Prophet (pbuh) also cautioned the poor. Some among the poor may face punishment for harboring envy or begging unnecessarily. He also spoke of the righteous wealthy (like Abu Bakr, Uthman, Abdul Rahman ibn Awf) saying that there’s no harm in a wealthy person who is God-fearing. So, entry to Paradise isn’t determined by wealth but by God consciousness;Taqwa, good deeds, patience in hardship and gratitude in wealth. 5. Spiritual Lessons from the Hadith Accountability grows with blessings. Wealth serves as a test, often leading to a delayed entry due to extended judgment. Avoid envying the wealthy. The luxuries they enjoy today might come with their own set of delays or burdens tomorrow. Being poor isn’t a curse. With patience and sincerity, poverty can actually pave the way to Paradise more swiftly. Spend wealth wisely. Those with riches should focus on spending, giving, and living humbly — as their Day of Judgment will be more extensive. Related Quranic Reminder: “Then you will surely be asked that Day about the pleasures (you enjoyed).” — Qur’an 102:8 This encompasses every extra meal, piece of clothing, home, car, and comfort. Therefore, the less one possesses, the fewer questions they’ll face, leading to a quicker entrance. The hadith in Tirmidhi reminds us that: Wealth comes with responsibility, which can slow down the path to Paradise. The righteous poor will be honored with an earlier entry into Paradise — 500 years ahead of the wealthy. It’s a reminder for all believers to be mindful of Allah, manage wealth thoughtfully, and remain humble, no matter their status. |
TenQ:What are you saying about timing? You then go into a needless epistle talking anout parables. You forget about time with God and time with mankind? TenQ:You must say something to show you die fighting or arguing? It's relativity and it shouldn't be misinterpreted to mean that there aren't rich men who are also amongst the first entrants into paradise. You seem to allude imperfection in Allah's perfect justice, mercy and reward ? |
Ken4Christ:Other prophets were known for their righteousness, living sinless lives, and being chosen by God. The idea of salvation through repentance and obedience to God is a recurring theme throughout the Bible (for instance, Ezekiel 18:21-22, Micah 6:6–8, Matthew 7:21). When we look at the “only way” statement in John 14:6 ("I am the way..." ), it can be interpreted in a couple of ways: Contextually: It speaks to the specific time and audience. Prophetically: It suggests that Jesus serves as a guide to God, rather than being God himself. Jesus never claimed to be the only path in a way that dismissed earlier prophets. In fact, he respected them and upheld the teachings of the Torah (Matthew 5:17–19). God’s mercy and justice extend beyond just one person or time period. Many generations existed before Jesus, and their connection to God was very much alive. Jesus is a significant prophet, messenger, and the Messiah. The latter meaning chosen, honored, and appointed by God for prophetic mission, a sign of one born without a man impregnating a woman (I ponder the biblical inclusion of Joseph to sway this fact) not necessarily that he is the only way to salvation, nor that he is divine. A source of salvation for those who embrace his teachings not the only means of salvation. God has consistently provided guidance through various prophets and scriptures. “To every nation a messenger.” — (Qur’an 10:47) “The one who does the will of My Father... shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” — (Matthew 7:21) Ultimately, salvation comes through God’s mercy, following His guidance, and living righteously. it’s not limited to just one individual for all time |
Ken4Christ:Shall we address your submissions? 1. He was born sinless, making him the only perfect sacrifice. While many religious traditions, including Islam and some non-Trinitarian Christian groups, affirm Jesus' sinlessness, being without sin doesn’t automatically mean he is God or the sole way to God. Other prophets have also been described as righteous and pure. For instance, both the Qur'an and certain Christian teachings highlight the purity of John the Baptist (Luke 1:15, Qur’an 19:12-13), and Noah is referred to as *“blameless”* in Genesis 6:9. Where you are blameless is there any sin tied to you? The concept of substitutionary atonement—the idea that someone must die to appease God's justice is not universally accepted. Many believe that God is merciful and forgives directly, without the need for a blood sacrifice (Ezekiel 18:20–22, Hosea 6:6). God can forgive sins without requiring the death of an innocent person. This showcases divine mercy rather than a legal transaction. 2. He lived a sinless life. Subtly repeating yourself? This belief may be embraced by various faiths, but it’s not exclusive to Jesus across all theological traditions. The Qur’an describes Jesus as pure (Qur’an 19:19), but it also acknowledges Mary, Yahya (John), and others as righteous and chosen. The idea of sinlessness as a prophet's virtue doesn’t necessarily prove divinity or exclusivity. Additionally, Jesus never claimed to be the only sinless individual or demanded worship based solely on his sinlessness. Being without sin makes someone righteous, but it doesn’t automatically make them divine or the only route to salvation. 3. He willingly gave his life to save mankind. This belief stems from the doctrine of vicarious atonement, but it does raise some theological questions. Can justice truly allow an innocent person to suffer in place of the guilty? Does this align with God’s declaration in the Bible: “The soul who sins shall die” (Ezekiel 18:20)? An alternative perspective is that Jesus’ mission was to preach repentance, truth, and guide people back to God, rather than to serve as a blood offering (Luke not to be a blood offering (Luke 5:32; Mark 1:15). True salvation in Scripture often comes through repentance and obedience, not just belief in a sacrifice (see Matthew 19:17, Ezekiel 33:11). 4. He defeated Satan in hell and took the keys of death and hell (Revelation 1:18). This verse is packed with symbolism and shouldn't be taken as a straightforward historical account. Revelation is an apocalyptic book filled with metaphors and vivid imagery. The "keys" here symbolize authority rather than a literal victory in battle. Plus, the Bible indicates that Satan remains active even after Jesus’ resurrection (1 Peter 5:8, Revelation 12:12). The notion that Jesus ventured into hell to defeat Satan isn't explicitly found in the Gospels, and the concept of a "descent into hell" is a topic of debate among Christians. Taking apocalyptic texts at face value can lead to misunderstandings. The authority over death could simply mean that God granted Him that power, rather than suggesting He triumphed over God's adversary through warfare. 5. He conquered death by rising from the dead. The resurrection is a fundamental belief in Christianity, but it's rooted in testimony and faith, not universally accepted evidence. Resurrection isn't exclusive to Jesus. For instance, Lazarus was brought back to life (John 11), and several prophets performed similar miracles (like Elijah in 1 Kings 17:22). Moreover, God has the power to resurrect anyone He chooses . This doesn’t imply that the resurrected individual is divine, but rather showcases God's might. Rising from the dead is indeed a miracle, but it doesn't necessarily serve as proof of divinity or uniqueness. 6. He ascended back to heaven visibly to God. Absolutely, many hold the belief that Jesus ascended to heaven, but others have also been taken up by God, such as Enoch (Genesis 5:24) and Elijah (2 Kings 2:11). Ascension signifies divine favor, but it doesn't serve as proof that the individual is God or the sole path to Him. Ascending to heaven is more about being honored than it is about being divine or a mediator. Jesus (peace be upon him) is a revered prophet, the Messiah, and the Word from God. His mission was to guide people toward God, not to himself. “Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” (John 17:3) The idea that Jesus is the only way to God should be understood in a few different ways: It signifies that He delivered a message of salvation, much like other messengers from God. His journey, similar to those of others, emphasized the importance of repentance, faith, and obedience to God, rather than solely requiring belief in His divinity. |
TenQ:You know you only waste your time asking question you already have your own answers to so will appreciate when your inputs are ignored. Is the intelligence waning with age or brilliance getting lazy? You agree with your biblical statement where it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God; Matthew 19:24 but cannot understand the concept of human time and calendar compared to time with Allah or God if you like? See also Psalm 90:4 (ESV): “For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night but it may not count as it is a song of David? A day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.” — (Qur’an 22:47) Is Tenq getting overwhelmed and tired of his fruitless rambling? |

TenQ:Regardless, you project knowing better about Islam than Muslims don't you? |
TenQ:You cannot investigate this? |
TenQ:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Did you read what you posted? It mentions the first five verses as those initially revealed. How many verses are in that Surah? When were the other verses revealed and how come they were added to this Surah. Accept the expansion of your marvel and defeat of your poorly thought out jest called criticism please. |
TenQ:The first revelation is Surah 96? Please tell if you are honest if all the verses of this Surah were revealed at once then explain how it was completed. |
TenQ:One more thing you can marvel about amongst the many things you already marvel on. Go read Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2354 and make what you can or will of it please. |
MightySparrow:Regarding salvation in Islam, I invite you to look through Qur’an 20:74–76. There you will see a powerful contrast between two groups of people. Those who approach Allah as wrongdoers and those who come as faithful, righteous servants. 1. The disbelievers are headed for Hell, a place where they find no peace in life and cannot escape the torment of punishment in death. 2. On the other hand, believers who engage in good deeds are promised the highest places in Paradise. 3. For those who cleanse themselves in both faith and character, the reward is the eternal Gardens of Eden. In Islam, salvation is achieved through genuine belief, performing good actions, sincere repentance, and the process of inner purification. |
TenQ:Did Prophet Muhammad pbuh rearrange the Quran? No. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) didn’t rearrange the Qur’an on his own. The order of its verses and chapters was actually guided by Allah through the angel Jibril. Every year, Jibril would review the Qur'an with the Prophet, and in the year of his passing, they went over it together twice. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 61, Hadith 129) This review, known as muaradah, wasn’t just about reciting the text; it was about confirming the proper order of the Qur’an to ensure it would be preserved and handed down correctly. He doesn’t speak from his own desires; it’s purely a Revelation that has been revealed. (An-Najm:3–4) The Qur’an exists as one in the Lawh al-Mahfuz and was revealed with authorized variations in how it can be recited. The Qirāʾāt aren’t different versions of the Qur’an; they’re simply different authentic ways to recite the same divine text. Lawh al-Mahfuz contains perfect divine knowledge of all human speech, actions, and intentions |
