    Prove That God Should Believe In You

    That is a very odd, yet slightly satisfying, argument for the 'existence of God'.

    Greatest verse in Quran

    I juggle between Ayat al-Kursi and Ayal al-Nur, both are as infinitely profound as each other. I can't choose. Although it's a more shorter ayat, Surah 57:3 is also incredibly profound. Like the former two ayahs; In so few words it covers the entire ontology of everything that ever has and will...

    The Trinity, considering it's biblical, why then......

    Yes I'm a brother ;) Both actually, in part some of the 'attributes' (or names) in their qualities, as well as the linguistic make up of various specific names themselves. Yes, you have basically understood, at least from the overview perspective. As in intercessory. Both in the Christian...

    The Trinity, considering it's biblical, why then......

    A good but basic introduction would be this well-written article: Fatimah, Mary and the Divine Feminine in Islam And keep in mind there is strict distinction between the divine feminine and committing Shirk, they are not synonymous. God itself in the Absolute is obviously beyond all likeness...

    The Trinity, considering it's biblical, why then......

    Correction, the "Trinity" is a certain doctrine of interpretation of the concepts of this "Father/Son/Holy Spirit". It does not equal the concept of a "Father/Son/Holy Spirit". Trinity is a set "orthodox" doctrine of the way the three are interpreted, as to uphold the concept of a man being...

    The Trinity, considering it's biblical, why then......

    This is also present in most religions in different forms (including even Islam). I'm a big fan of the Divine Feminine myself though lol

    Resurrection of deads

    I've never found anything to hint at that, it always speaks of Yawm Qiyamah in stark contrast to Dunya (the material world). Plus, Yawm Qiyamah is, in at least a dozen verses, is always concluded with the relation of the destruction of the macrocosm of Dunya to the internalized experience of the...

    Resurrection of deads

    While I do consider such a question as that to be incoherent, I do find the philosophical implications of both possible answers to that situation to be darn fascinating.

    John's christology and the Dead Sea Scrolls

    Hear hear, wouldn't want to step on eggshells :D

    Resurrection of deads

    But I do keep the option open in the cards that, seeing how the universe is seen to be destroyed (as per Christianity and Islam), that it could hint at a material existence in a new universe or even reincarnation. As per ayahs like: The day We shall roll up the sky, like the rolling of the...

    Resurrection of deads

    As far as my position within the Abrahamic religions is concerned (being Shia Islam), I believe it all takes place within the world/realm of Alam al-Mithal. In Baha'i (as you're Baha'i), this would parallel your view of the world of Malakut. It is the world/realm where spirit is materialized...

    Does liberalism value human rights over ethics?

    Maybe in 20,000 years ;)

    Jesus Said "It Is Finished"

    That's part of my whole point though. Christians say that salvation doesn't come through God (making all the prophets before Jesus null) and that salvation can only come through accepting the death of a historical person. Seriously, I'll go to hell for believing only in the One God, I'll go to...

    The Best Argument Against the Existence of God

    I agree. Personally the term "Personal God" makes me cringe. However God is both the most simultaneously "distant" (transcendent - all-encompassing) and "close" thing there is. To me, the term "personal God" also conjures up the connotation of an Angel - of which God is nothing like. The...

    Where is God hiding?

    The Best Argument Against the Existence of God

    You literally answered your own question. Your question is the latter, your answer is the former. No dilemmas to be found, very self-explanatory. That said, in your OP you mentioned missionaries/preachers etc these are people who have beliefs, and are not Prophets sent by the Absolute, so you...

    Was Muhammad Schizophrenic?

    That's called healthy skepticism, something all people should be doing, you and me included. If we don't question our own sanity then there is a problem.

    It takes a lot of reasoning to accept miracles.

    Yes to all of that you're completely correct about all of it. I give up, your intelligence is just so superior. How could I ever hope to be as intelligent as you?

    Christians: Is Sola Scriptura Biblical?

    I argue that Sola Scriptura is objectively nonexistent because a text by itself (particularly one that isn't explicitly instructive as a whole, but is rather narrative-based) cannot ever suffice for one's religious practice and it originates from external practices and traditions that are...
