I'm getting quite bored of this thread and of repeating the same thing over and over again to different people who jump in with the same emotional rhetoric and ignore what has been said. With that justification in mind, I would reference you to...

I would rather not assume so must ask - what is your objective?

Ah, this is all information freely available? Please, find me the information for the above highlighted. And weighed against the murders akin to what I wrote above, I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

The covenant with Isaac includes Christians? Where did you get that from?

I ignore most ignorance but this one gave me a little internal chuckle / facepalm. How many countries are invading and occupying Western countries, may I ask? Is it the Iraqis who are occupying American soil, or perhaps it's Palestinians who are occupying the land of European Jews? Or maybe the...

Yep.

We need to differentiate between magic, miracle and illusion - illusion is what the TV magicians do. As for whether magic - and by that I mean manipulation of supernatural forces - exists, this is something about which we need to look into the scripture. Does the scripture allow for magic to be...

But this is the question - why did God choose Greek? Perhaps it was because they were the philosophical giants, but at best they are a translation of Yeshua's words and - especially given that it is a distant language - is bound to contain inaccuracies. The question of preservation is not an...

Here are my thoughts on the matter - choose to care / agree / disagree as you please :chin 1. Fornication (intimate relations while unmarried) and adultery (intimate relations with other than one's spouse) are extremely serious, soul-damaging, society-damaging deeds. This is not to say things...

Hi all, Just a simple question really, to which I couldn't come up with a decent answer with my own thinking. Let me clarify the question, before somebody responds with: "because Luke/John/Matt./Mark/Paul spoke Greek"! I can understand why the word of God in the OT was Hebrew - because the...

Yes, I thought the "H" should be pronounced as a "H" and not a "Kh" too. With regards to the YHWH, I personally favour the pronunciation as Yahwah or Yahuwah for no other reason that because in Hebrew it has a meaning: "O He who exists!"

Fascinating stuff. Actually, I'm surprised how much of it I understood (once transliterated) especially in terms of the grammar due to my study of Arabic. They truly are sister languages. Just a question on the YHVH - I've read a little on the history of this name; is the most common...

Hi all, I do not read Hebrew (yet!) but I would like to memorise the Ten Commandments in their original language as God gave them to Moses. Could anyone help me get hold of a transliteration as well as an audio reading (I found "singing" of them on YouTube but it's not helpful)?

You know, if you withdrew your poisonous attitude and grew in willingness to discuss, we could actually have a very fruitful and interesting conversation. Something to think about. Do we deny that God is a "father"? While there is nothing wrong with using that word, in the sense that God...

Sir, I understood well what you were trying to say. Misunderstanding on my part isn't the issue, so your silly analogy is unnecessary. Rather than waste time on such things, try to understand what I contributed - this is discussion, not me talking to a brick wall!

OK - so now there is a question! What is the criterion for accepting a "name" as a valid name of worship? If I want to worship "The Creator", there is no objection to that. But can I use the name "Shiva" in worship? 17:110 Say: "Call upon God, or call upon the Most Merciful: by whatever name...

I'm sorry to say this, but, you really don't have a clue. Did you know that the word "Muhammad" is mentioned but 4 times in the entire Quran? Did you know that neither his birth, nor the names of his father, mother, or children are recorded in the Quran? Did you know that there is a whole...

The concept of reincarnation may be present in various ideologies, but with regards to the Hindu tradition and South-Asia with which it is most commonly associated, it is - historically speaking - inextricably linked with racism and oppression, rather than any ancient philosophy or theology...

Lol, unless you have a knife to my throat then I don't see how taqiyya is relevant. But anyway. It seems you have not come across the historical commentary about the heresy of Son = Father and so on, as opposed to Son = God, Father = God, etc. It may sound like a fine one or a semantic...

Ah, but now you're playing with words. I said that your scholars have rejected the doctrine that the SON IS THE FATHER as a heretical doctrine. You are saying something different - that the Son is the same God as the Father.
