Caringheart,
You feel that I was "unnecessarily rude" in my response to "Islamispeace." Perhaps you should attend to your concerns and not judge me or my responses to anyone on this site, as if I am a child to be corrected. If "Islamispeace" has a problem with my replies he can tell me himself. Larry |

You: Supposedly the Quran is the "logical" extension of the Jewish "Taurat" and the Christian "Gospels". So why would they be "obsolete" and not relevant anymore? "Because of the corruption made in them. Change the God to a great extends and also because they were designed for that time period and Quran is designed for until end of the world. Me: contradictions in Bible are the evident of human interferences in it. Two wrongs thing’s compliments to each other does not make them right. You got to investigate where the truth lies. Having news of end of the world does not make it book for future. A flaw less, logical, book contains the complete message could be the book of present and as long it have all these qualities, it will be the book of future as well. Quran is the only book in today’s context which passes this test. Me: How many Christians today have the Bible in the original language it was revealed? This one thing itself enough to tell the all story. You: - And who specifically was responsible for this supposed "corruption" of the "actual revelations?" You also say, "So we cannot say Quran is based on them." So what is the Quran based on if not the earlier "prophets" of the Old and New Testaments? Me:What I mean was since the old and new Testaments are corrupted and Quran is not so you cannot find the clear link there as you said. You: As I have said, there are many contradictions in the Quran, especially in how the "People of the Book" (Jews, Christians and (oddly) the "Sabeans") are to be viewed and how they are to be treated by Muslims. In some places they are portrayed as among the true believers and in others are referred to as "perverted transgressors." Me: The highlighted one is not the correct interpretation, get the verse telling that, I will try clear misunderstanding. What I can say now who ever followed their religion truly in the pre-Islamic era those people were among the true believers as well. Me: use the hadith as our resource; this is guided in Quran to do so. Just words are not enough to know the complete way of life; you need the teacher to show you how to do it." Me :)? Hadith are words of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is the same as you have words of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in Bible.Only thing they are separately kept and are not part of Quran. Me.Prophet Ibrahim (peace and blessing of God upon Him) is the one who built Kaba.Ismaeal (peace and blessing of God upon Him) son of Ibrahim (peace and blessing of God upon Him) and after there is a long gap then Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of God upon Him) revive it all again and may be with some different way.Pagan araba were following the entirely different way having 360 idols inside the Kaba.Allah is the Name of Allah now and pre Islamic as well. Where its shows the corruption took place there?.I wish to know from where the word “God “came from? is this word there in the original bible. Me: If this clear message says that “obey Prophet” Does it comply that it become unclear by saying that? Logic I already given why just words are not enough. Me: This is because of the differences among early Muslims secondly I am not here to defend Sunni Muslims, seeker of truth will find out, I don’t have tell. Me: I am not saying that, If you can have other’s people words incorporated in Bible with the God words is acceptable for you and if we have them separately the words of God and words Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of God upon Him) then you have problem why?Schalars of bible keep changing the Bible by taking out some material from it(if I am not wrong in Kings James version) and this change took place not very long ago then how can someone trust in the authenticity of Bible is not there anymore what if the earlier scholars may have done the similar thing.
So, in your book, God Himself needs to "correct" Himself from time to time from His earlier "Divine revelations?" Me: Why then there was a need of New Testaments? why not just follow the old Testaments Why Jew did not believe in Trinity, Because it is not there in Taurat.A doctor sometimes may give the one type of medicine looking at the current condition of the person and knowing that after few days, another Madison will be more effective and he change the old medicine with new medicine .Doctor know how therapy will work. God is not correcting anything here. Me: Sorry my earlier reply was not clear.Sex desire is more when the person is young. When He was young 25 years old, He married to a forty years old woman who has married before as well. I tell you what, now satan will put in your mind that because of the money he married to her then I will answer that then some more thing will come up. I will advise you to study the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of God upon Him) and other prophets as well. Most importantly if you are really interested to know Islam correctly, you pray to Allah with sincerity that you wish to know the truth, please help me to find it.
Me: Please study the history and life of Prophet if you think I am giving wrong information to you. Not just food His cloths his house, the way He sleep on the floor at ordinary cotton sheets. He live a life of so simple so none of his follower can say that Prophet had a better life than me. Narrated 'Aisha : The Prophet died when we had satisfied our hunger with the two black things, i.e. dates and water. (Bukhari) Me: "You did not give yours response to what I have said you friends are insulting God by saying that God in form of human." Me:You made Him God He never said in whole bible that I am God or worship me. Secondly if this Holy Trinity is so complex that common people can’t understand it. So surly this could never be from God. By the way so many Christians could also not able to understand this theory and turning to atheist and some into Islam as well. Me: When a slave gives birth to her master - And when you see the Bedoin Arabs competing with each other to build taller buildings in the desert"

Hasan, Did I stutter? Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." I believe that there are no limits to the power of God Almighty. As I said before, God is beyond all human understanding and His powers are limitless and complete. Apparently you believe differently. You can play word-games with the sanctity and power of God all you want, but a God that has ANY limits is no true God at all. That is the difference between your faith and mine. Larry Larry, why are you scared to make sense of things. So, you are saying God can be all He wants, like an elephant or a monkey? And by the way its not me who say that, there are people like you who believe God can come as a monkey or an elephant because for them like for you if God cannot come as a monkey, its not God. So according to your logic, a Hindu is correct and you should not have a problem with that? Also, according to the Bible God is an evil sprit, do you think that to be the case? Personally, as a Muslim I do not believe that God is evil, a monkey, bull, elephant or a white man. I am taught as a Muslim that God is the Creator of All that exists, including some of the creations some people take as gods like that elephant, a monkey, a bull or a white man. We glorify and praise God in Islam when we see His Creations, not worshiping them nor taking them as gods. Sorry, it took me a while to answer your post. I was away for a while as my laptop was stolen. Hasan |

Larry I thought the perspective of another might help since the purpose of this forum is to promote understanding and communication. Too bad you took offense. I only just the other day read something along the lines of, 'If you can't listen to a criticism there is little chance of learning or growth.' I try to remain open to criticism or correction. Peace.

Hasan,
I don't know where you get your "Biblical" ideas but I have yet to hear the Bible say that God is an "evil spirit," perhaps you can cite the Biblical verse that says that. As far as the power of God to do ANYTHING, I put no limits on Him, or expect Him to fulfill my ideas or beliefs about Him or about His powers. I would not dare to say what God will or will not do or what God can and cannot do, evidently you feel differently. Jesus said it clearly: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." As I said before; "Generally speaking, In Christianity, God is understood to act in accordance within reason, while in Islam, God's absolute transcendence means that God is not bound, even by His own word, and can act in ways contrary to reason, including self-contradiction. Sorry to hear about your laptop. Larry Edited by Larry - 05 July 2012 at 1:05am |

Larry Dear Larry, -1 Samuel 16:14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. -Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man. -Thanks, I hope whoever got my laptop at least benefit from it positively.

Dear Jack the Bible is still evolving. It is still changing. There are about 32,000 different versions of the bible registered with the Library of the Congress. Each version is different.
Without getting into the sensitive areas of Jesus's divinity etc etc let me show you a simple example of how the Bible is still evolving. In the King James Version Ishamel is called a "wild man" Genesis 19:12. In the Contemporary English Version published by Thomas Nelson Publishers the words "wild man" has changed to "wild donkey". There are many many other changes, even those admitted in the Bible itelf. More when you respond.
