What makes me a little angry is when people think because Christians cant find an immediate answer people will think that they are stuttering or something when it says all over the bible it couldnt be more clear the inferiority of human understanding and that the wisdom of god is unfathomable and its a very very biblical answer to just say "we dont know" but sometimes we make it worse by opening our mouths. God hasnt revealed everything yet.


Job 9:1-3
Then Job answered and said, I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

Isaiah 40:28
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.

Jeremiah 51:17
Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

Job 28:12-13
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

Romans 11:33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!.

Psalms 147:5
Great is our Lord, and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.

Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Job 12:13
“With Him are wisdom and might; To Him belong counsel and understanding”.

Job 9:4
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

Job 36:5
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

Proverbs 2:6
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Daniel 2:20
Daniel answered and said, “Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him”.

Romans 16:27
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

James 1:5
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

If you had a discussion with him he would uterlly baffle you like he did to Job.

Quote:
The God of the Old Testament is known as YHWH ()or, when pointed with the correct vowels, Yahweh. This translates as "The Self-Existent One", being derived from the Hebrew háwáh, meaning "to exist". As Allah is the name of God on the Muslim Holy Scriptures, the Koran (or Quran), so Yahweh is the Name of God in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible. What is particularly interesting and significant is the fact that Yahweh never appears as the name of of any deity outside the Bible. There is no record anywhere of any other tribe or religion which worhipped Yahweh. The Hebrew Name of God is unique to the Bible and its chosen people. From this alone we may deduce that the Name "Yahweh" was not borrowed from some other culture or religion. It emerged unquely within the Bible revelation.

It is claimed by Muslims that Allah is the God of the Bible and that he is mentioned in the sacred texts. This is absolutely not true. The name "Allah" does not appear once in either the Old or New Testaments. The only time God is referred to by name in the Old Testament is either as YAHWEH (meaning "He (who) is") or as a contraction, YAH. [Please note that the name "Jehovah" is not a biblical name of God but was especially 'created' by Jews afraid to pronounce the Sacred Name by combining the consonants YHWH with the vowels from adonai, meaning "Lord"].

The word alah does exist in Hebrew but it is not a proper name and it never refers to God. It has three principal meanings: (a) to curse, swear, or adjure; (b) to lament (weep); and (c) to arise, ascend, climb, go away, leap, etc.. It is an indisputable fact that ALLAH does not appear even once as the Name of God, or even of a man, in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is no word 'alah' or 'allah' in the Greek New Testament at all. It was, quite simply, unknown in the Bible world. To therefore claim that 'Allah' was the name of God in the Bible is without one single shred of evidence. God has always been known as Yahweh, or (much less frequently) by the contraction Yah. http://www.nccg.org/islam/Islam01-Allah.html

Quote:
The pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the Moon-god called the Kabah; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.

The Muslim's claim that Allah is the God of the Bible and that Islam arose from the religion of the prophets and apostles. Islam is refuted by solid, overwhelming archeological evidence. Islam is nothing more than a revival of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient pagan religion of the Moon-god. As such, it is sheer idolatry and must be rejected by every born again Christian.

Quote:
How can the Prophet Muhammad be a prophet if he has no prophecy?

The Quran unashamedly calls Muhammad’s god the best liar and deceiver of them all!

The Quran describes Allah as the best deceiver there is, a liar who is not above using the same evil and wicked schemes of his opponents.

For example, the Quran calls Allah a makr, in fact the best makr there is:

But they (the Jews) were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers (Wamakaroo wamakara Allahu waAllahu khayru al-makireena)! S. 3:54; cf. 8:30

That you would take guidance on how to live from the Bible, a chaotically cobbled together bunch of contradictory stories, copied and rewritten many times by unknowns with their own interpretations and agendas, improved and 'adapted' and full of stories of an immoral, brutal, jealous and cruel God, does not speak well for you. It's unlikely that you actually understand the Bible.

You might consider joining the ranks of more enlightened and advanced Christians, those who don't take the Bible literally and certainly don't base their morality on it.

because this

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

the people who are saying god is unrighteous
are they also the ones doing evil?

god has made it as plain as day
and sends the delusion because the unrighteousness of men
they choose to be deluded so they can continue in their sin

god doesnt want you to continue in your sin he wants you to overcome the delusion and come to the knowledge of truth but how can a holy god not send a delusion if his people are going to eat it up so easily

they dont even want to be righteous

Just as the OT was superseded by the NT (the NT says so), the NT was superseded by the Qur'an (the Qur'an says so).

You should probably start the conversion process quickly, so you'll be judged mercifully by Allah (pbuh) when your time comes.


Quote:
The pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah [PBUH] by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the Moon-god called the Kabah; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.

The Muslim's claim that Allah [PBUH]is the God of the Bible and that Islam arose from the religion of the prophets and apostles. Islam is refuted by solid, overwhelming archeological evidence. Islam is nothing more than a revival of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient pagan religion of the Moon-god. As such, it is sheer idolatry and must be rejected by every born again Christian.
The first thing you need to learn for your conversion to Islam is that when you invoke the name of Allah (PBUH) you must add "Peace Be Unto Him" or some other token of worship immediately afterward. Through the miracles of 14th Century technology, we are able to shorten it to simply PBUH, knowing that Allah the Beneficent, the All-Knowing understands these heathen letters.

The Jews borrowed many practices from the pagan religions they arose from, including the animal sacrifices and giving alms to the poor that you mention. The ties between the Jewish religion and earlier pagan ones is a bit tenuous, lost in time, but the ties between Christianity and paganism are much clearer. Christianity borrowed the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and the dates of its most important holy days from paganism. Christianity even returned to its polytheistic roots with the doctrine of the Trinity--invented by Shaitan himself! This idolatry must be rejected by every true Muslim.

I understand that you're not there yet, but if you reject these pagan teachings now it will be easier to be found good in Allah's (PBUH) eyes when December 25th rolls around.

You should not get information about Islam from an extreme Christian web site, just as you would not want people to get their information about Christianity from an orthodox Jewish web site. Those infidels don't even PBUH Allah! (PBUH).


Quote:

The Quran describes Allah [PBUH] as the best deceiver there is, a liar who is not above using the same evil and wicked schemes of his opponents.
This is true, but only because Allah (PBUH) is not lazy. Your god gave lies to his prophets to lead his own people astray. Allah (PBUH) does his own dirty work.

yes all of it is literal
i dont follow the jewish law only jesus
continually growing in his instruction

Romans 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.


god is jealous i agree
Exodus 34:14
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

and brutal to the wicked only , were all wicked though so you must obtain mercy and its a guaranteed promise he will never treat you bad ever

was god brutal all those quadrillion years before time when there wasnt any kind of violence what so ever

no it says he takes no pleasure in the death of him that dieth

Ezekiel 18:32
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

no i take the old testament literally as well but the law in it is not written for my instruction that was for the jews in israel under the old covenant

i still believe in creation and all the history in the OT happened as a literal fact
because they are god inspired scriptures so although i might not read in it nearly as much its still incredibly important and eternally significant

the law is still good for knowing right and wrong directly from god but you arent under the bondage anymore because christ fulfilled it

but whatever jesus reinstated or when he gives a new commandment, you have to obey

I wouldn't give up on the hard questions. I want to know. I tell God that I want to know. And I study and meditate in faith, earnestly expecting an answer.

Oddly enough, most of the time, the answers have come as I was typing responses to posts here. I would have no clue how to respond to this particular objection, and I'd just start typing and groping around, and bam -- a moment of enlightenment. Or even slowly and carefully reading and re-reading a difficult text of scripture.

How many times have I read the creation story? Maybe a hundred or two hundred times.

Just yesterday I re-read it, and saw about five different things I had never "seen" before: little missed details that might clue me in to some greater, overall picture or understanding.

Have faith. Be open to new ideas. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, Christ said. Be open to his guidance.

Don't get me wrong, I am Christian from Croatia, probably most conservative Catholic country in Europe. If you think that Bible is written literally you totally missed the point of Christianity. The Bible is concepted methaphorically to leave you with thinking about different issues. These guys in babylon didn't exactly build that tower, it just says how people always have had intention to play gods on Earth etc. etc.
