satmaniac: Muslim clerics said this and muslim clerics said that. You amuse me ooo. You are the one that said the prophet even forbade the writing of Hadith and here you are quoting the words of those who insist on following what does not have the approval of God and his messenger, in order to make sure I agree with you that they are worth following. Look what you should know is that in any ideology be it secular or theological, people tend to always corrupt and change it to fit their prejudices. It happened with the children of Israel, especially when Moses left them to be with God almighty, it take them just forty days to introduce worshipping of the calf. You can imagine what will happened after a long period of time. It happened with the Christian so much that a convention was held to determine what the right doctrines are. Yes I am talking about the nicene convention. It happened with the Muslim after the prophet was gone too. Thus, you have the Hadiths and most of the things that were foreign to Quran. It is nothing new. But what is important is God truth is there for everyone who care to find out in all of these scriptures that were written down. For example, an honest reading of the bible will tell you that Jesus Christ is not a God and also the term son of God was not literal. You said: But I think your argument should be applicable to the Qur'an too. Why should we trust the RECITATION of Hafs when we have written Qur'an dating far back in time.
This shows you are not paying attention to the point I have been making. You just wish to force Hadith down my throat. When did I say I trust either of the Hadith. I am just pointing that for you to see them as the fabrication that they are. And no there is no how you are going to apply the argument to the Quran. The Quran was a speech from God to the prophet and as soon as it was revealed it got written down, with the prophet permission, unlike the hadith nobody ever authorised it. So if you are being sincere there should be no copy of Hadith then. Mind you the earliest collection of Hadith you see me referring to, were even collected long after the prophet was gone and like I said most of the Hadith did not have the prophet name in them. So how do you compare the two? By written Quran written way back, you mean that one at Birmingham right? Because that is the oldest Quran so far? I will want you to point the differences between that Quran and the hafs Quran? I am not forcing down the Hadiths down your throat. I know that some Muslims call themselves Qur'an-Only-Muslims and in dealing with them, I want to use just the Qur'an only BUT 1. I expect that all their judgement would be from the Literal interpretation of the Qur'an. 2. I also want them to know that it is hypocritical of them to follow the teachings of the hadiths while condemning them at the same time. 3. I want them to note that (because they are minorities with this view), casting away such a huge volume of hadith irrespective of their grade is a proof that the vast majority of Muslims who wrote or narrated or transmitted the hadiths are untrustworthy and fraudulent liars. 4. One of your arguments was that the hadiths were compiled much later: true. But the Recitation of Hafs too was a Recitation before it was written. If the memory of those who document the hadiths could be questioned, the memory of those of recite the Qur'an should also be questioned I don't ask you to adopt the Hadiths by force. By the way, 1. Do you subscribe to the Sira and Tafsir? |

honesttalk21: Eleazar (Mt 1:15) had two children, the one Mathan (Mt 1:15), and the other Jotham. Joseph is descended from Mathan and Mary from Jotham. Eleazar’s son Mathan begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Joseph. And Eleazar’s son Jotham begot Zadoq, and Zadoq begot Mary by his wife Dina, who is the sister of Elisabeth, the wife of Zechariah. For this reason it is written that the Angel said to Mary, «Behold, Elisabeth your relative has con- ceived» (Lk 1:36) — that is, the sister of your mother. Now Mary from her father’s side was from the tribe of Judah, but from her mother’s side, from the tribe of Levi.
Mary, of course, does not feature at all in the genealogies given in Mat- thew 1 and Luke 3. Earlier commentators were more interested in providing explanations for the apparent contradictions between the two lists (exempli- fied by Joseph’s father being Jacob in Matthew and Eli in Luke). Wrong sir! Can you please show me how Mary was a descendant of Jotham? Can you show me how Zadoq is the Father of Mary and Dina is the Mother of Mary?
Mathew gave the Legal genealogy of Jesus through Joseph his supposed Father. Joseph was from the tribe of Judah. Mat 1:16: "And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ."The Father of Joseph was Jacob Luke gave the biological genealogy of Jesus through Mary with Joseph being the Son-in-Law to Heli the Father of Mary. Mary was also from the tribe of Judah. Luk 3:23: "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being as was supposed the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli," |

Luk 2:36-37: "And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day."honesttalk21: Could you tell me who is documented as the mother of Mary? Genealogy amongst the Jews is through patriarchal line. Therefore the mother of Mary wasn't mentioned but her Father was mentioned honesttalk21: Then about Psalm 110:1 may be subject for review. This is to understand how the old testament son of man is referred to as either Adonai or Adoni which are names used with Yahweh for God.
It calls for some concern really. The priests not asking Jesus further questions could be that they had concluded either positively or negatively about him.
Did the Jewish leaders not accuse Jesus of blasphemy in Matthew 26:57-68 1. The Jews did not recognise Jesus as the Messiah 2. The Jews know that the Messiah would be a descendant of David 3. Jesus asked the Jews a technical Question : If the Messiah was the Son of David, why then does David call Him Lord?This Question thy couldn't answer! How could they ask further questions when the only one he asked them they couldn't answer. Mat 22:46: "And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."
Yes, Jesus was the Messiah : as the Word of God, David called Him LORD. But in His Humanity, he is the Son of David. |

honesttalk21: Islam recognizes Zakaria as a prophet and it seems there are narrations of 2 of them in the Bible. Howbeit in the book of Ezekiel 45 1.When you allot the land as an inheritance, you are to present to the Lord a portion of the land as a sacred district, 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide; the entire area will be holy. 2 Of this, a section 500 cubits square is to be for the sanctuary, with 50 cubits around it for open land. 3 In the sacred district, measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. In it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4 It will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests, who minister in the sanctuary and who draw near to minister before the Lord. It will be a place for their houses as well as a holy place for the sanctuary. 1. Islam recognise Zachariah as prophet But he isn't. He is just a Priest. Why is he a prophet? You don't know, do you? What you read in Ezekiel 45 describes the Quarters for the Priests NOT the temple. No one lives in the Temple of Jerusalem. honesttalk21: Women not being permitted explains why Mary's mother preferred a boy child.
Permit my including the views of the role religion has played in patriarchy.
Going on, according to Jewish religious law, women were allowed in every area of the Temple precincts in which men were allowed. The Mishnah specifies areas within the Temple that non-priests were not allowed to enter, but it does not differentiate between men and women.
More so Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the LORD, as it is written in the LORD’s Torah: “Every first-born male is sanctified to the LORD as stated in Luke 2:22-23 What is your evidence that Mary's mother preferred a boy than a girl? Please site it according to Islam! |

You will certainly find that the closest of them in friendship with the believers are those who say, “We are Christians.”That is because among them there are priests and monks, and because they are not arrogant.
And 2:62 إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالنَّصَارَىٰ وَالصَّابِئِينَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ Indeed, those who believe, and those who are Jews, Christians, and Sabians. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does righteousness, they will have their reward with their Lord, and there is no fear upon them, nor do they grieve
Allah himself knows who truly worships him with sincerity. It is not a case of who is seen to be righteous in the eyes of man If this is the case 1.

litigator: This is one area of our Biblical journey we often shy away from talking about.
I am certain I am not alone in this regard.
How does it feel if at 9. am on a Sunday morning, I come out for an altar call after a powerful heart-shattering and guilt-provoking sermon, give my life to Christ; I am prayed for and declare born again, but I unconsciously commit a sin on my way back home?
And with that guilt, I go back to sin full time like it was before the alter call?
I guess I am not alone in this regard. I have attended church services countless times and listened to sermons and teachings that I can't recollect, and at the end of such endeavour, I obey the alter call one minute, and the next minute, I am back to fornicating. This is one thing that has kept a lot of people out of this spiritual journey.
Even Pastors are not immune to sin, as some have found themselves committing sin at one point or the other. I guess Apostle Paul suffered same in the Bible. And this brings me to my question.
Does being again make you immune to sin, and is it a vaccine against sinning?
Is it that if I sin, it will no longer count against me because I have Grace?
Or is it a merry-go-round of sinning and asking for forgiveness shortly afterwards until we get better at not sinning anymore?
And if the latter is the case, why do churches hate and guilt-shame members when they sin but defend pastors when they do the same? There is no where in the Bible where we pray to be Born Again. Being Born Again is FAITH in Christ as the Messiah to Free you from the nature of sin and a Bond to Him as his Servant. It consist of Two things 1. Accepting Jesus as Saviour Meaning : Recognision of Jesus as the Mediator and Redeemer from sin and it's consequence and the Door to Heaven 2. Accepting Jesus as Lord : Meaning : Being a solemn commitment to live the totality of your life under the Leadership and Authority of God to Live your Life in Purity and Service to Him The problem is that ALL Christians want Jesus as Saviour BUT maybe Not as Lord. If Jesus is your Lord, you will strive to Live your Life in Purity. God is not mocked. Response to am Alter call and being Born Again are completely different things. |

The below is a clear example of ideological evolution. Please how has this got to do with evolution? 1. The ants found a dead wall gecko the size of each ant relative to the wall gecko is at least 1:1000 2. The Ants had their destination as INSIDE the flowerpot 3. Lifting the Gecko up the wall of the flower pot was a tall order which required a lot of coordination, cooperation, dedication and strength. 4. Unfortunately, the pot had a rim that curved out and down through which they need to navigate UPSIDE-DOWN with the heavy load (which would have been an impossibility) 5. They figured out somehow under the rim to carry ONLY the lighter tail first under the flower pot rim to the top. 6. When those assigned to the task succeeded, the other Ants let go of the main body of the Gecko 7. The moment of truth came as the main gecko body swung Freely by its tail 8. The ants below the rim climbed up the rim to assist their fellow ants holding the tail to pull up the gecko carcassFor creatures who cannot speak to organise each other, who have a short life span and did not therefore go to school. This is a masterpiece of wisdom in operation. |

Wilgrea7: So many wrong statements in here.. I'll do my best to point them out
Wrong... Common sense does not denote truth. For the people seeing the sun rise in the east and set in the west, common sense would tell them that the sun revolved around the earth. We know this is not the case.
And again, you are not answering the question of complexity. You're just pushing it to the location of wherever the "extraterrestrial" thing is.
Again... Wrong. Intelligence is not the opposite of chaos. Order is. Do we see order from entropy? sometimes.
The entropy of the universe has been increasing from the beginning of time. Yet stars and galaxies formed. Even planets can sometimes form from the death of stars
No one is trying to argue that complex structures necessarily come into existence from nothing, or from mere randomness.
And it is perfectly possible for a complex something to come from another complex something. But you will not be answering the question of complexity either ways.
1. Consciousness is still largely a mystery to us. Both its origins as well as it's nature.
2. The question of where the computers came from would be determined by several things.
And if we're going by the dell and hp analogy, how sure are you that the computers would reach the conclusions that they "evolved from the natural elements of mars"?... Especially if the components of their structure were clearly absent in the planet
You seem to be tossing around a lot of what ifs. Even if the computers had mars-like materials, the question of how they came to be is something they'd need to answer with some sort of evidence.. not hypothetical speculations. You should first have answered my question as Intelligently as you could. 1. If you find a computer-like object on Mars, would you attribute it's existence to self evolution from Mars or extraterrestrial to Mars? 2. Do we sometimes see order in entropy, Yes! Why? Entropy is not yet maximum. Therefore every order will in future vanish: this is the law of entropy simplified. Is it possible for entropy to decrease by itself? NO! 3. I asked you a question about common sense not a question about truth. The Truth imply that you are certain of the origin of the computer-like object on Mars. If the name Hp or Dell was written on the computer-like device you can say with a fair amount of certainty that it was manufactured on planet earth by Hewlett Packard or Dell. Again, you found some computer-like devices on Mars, what would your common sense tell you about it's origin? 4. I agree that Consciousness is still largely a mystery to us BUT as Christians will attribute it to Extraterrestrial Source, you atheists attribute it to a self evolving property of matter. 5. If the Hp and Dell computer-like devices on Mars conclude that they self evolved over billions of years in Mars: do you think their response is a rational conclusion? |

Workch: How did you know all these? I went to school to learn it. You don't know that in computer programming, we write some programs that self destructs after it has executed it's task? Is this stupidity or wisdom in programming ? |

LordReed: LoLz. So even though engineering is about building machines or constructs it's still engineering not to use machines or contruct any thing. Sometimes the way you stretch language just to create a narrative is just too amusing. It didn't dawn on you that the Ants simply are using the carcass as their only machine! ? #They accounted for the center of gravity of the carcass. #They turned the carcass into a lever. #At a point they made the carcass into a compound pendulum. #They computed the impulse and how many Ants would be required to hold the carcass when it swings You see why I shake my head at you? |
