here is something that might interest GEN X
first few verse of the quran that was REVEALED translated like
Code:
096.001
YUSUFALI: Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
PICKTHAL: Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,
SHAKIR: Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
096.002
YUSUFALI: Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
PICKTHAL: Createth man from a clot.
SHAKIR: He created man from a clot
Defination of clot -
clot (klt)
n.
A thick, viscous, or coagulated mass or lump, as of blood.
A clump, mass, or lump, as of clay.
A compact group: a clot of automobiles blocking the tunnel's entrance (source: dictionary.com)
if you know much about science then you would conclude that clot is what we are made out of - spermish...
and the second verse of the quran reads
Code:
001.002
YUSUFALI: Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;
PICKTHAL: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
SHAKIR: All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
notice it says WORLD(S) not just world..
so from this we know there is more than one world (galaxy, planet..)
kovan, have you answered ANY of my questions?
Have I answered ANY of yours?
Even if I had one point (which I don't, I have many more), that is the answer to your question. You said you were looking for such a claim by Jesus in the Bible that He was/is God.
I also provided exactly where to go to see what the Bible says about God (which is simply in the third word of the original Hebrew text) which has loads to do with the concept of "trinity".
I also showed you that Genesis 1 isn't as you say and asked where in Genesis 1 did you see such a thing.
I also began addressing your lengthy post in chronological order. What method of analysis do you intend to follow in your supposed search for truth?
In my view, your method (if you have one) is not to search.
I suggest you pick ONE topic and discuss (i.e. ask your question; another will answer and may even ask another question; then you answer that question; until a conclusion is reached. That conclusion may be to agree to disagree or maybe there will actually be an agreement). I don't think there is a language barrier here. It looks more like you are avoiding the issue which you yourself raised.
Also, do you really think that readers here believe that you will have respect to have such a discussion while you use phrases like "this or that sux or sucks"? You are not sincere or respectfull.
Yes, Gen-X, kovan is not respectfull because he does not conform to MY view of respect.
In closing...may the blind remain blind and the seeing remain seeing (with greater polarization). Bring on the End Game.--Amen
