How so?
If Prophets are real things, then there has to actually be real flesh-and-blood Prophets at some point and not just rumor of such a thing. Only the Qur'an breaks out of that loop, because it's delivered and propagated by a real-life Prophet (or at the very least, someone who claimed to...
I don't think age has much to do with it (aside from the self-awareness that comes later in the teen years).
More than anything else it is the comprehension of self, time, world and the abyss of death that all culminate into a true appreciation of the meaning of things. It's not something...
So are you, like Atheists, just saying here that the Prophets were just book characters?
How can it 'distort' the Bible? if the Qur'an is the word of God than the Bible (which is the word of man), is completely irrelevant.
It's the opposite. The Qur'an constantly speaks against such things...
Slightly better than Christians being both opposed to Jews AND Muslims.
But this is not a confirmation of your allegation, because that is a false generalization that is based in your own offense drawn from the exclusive truthclaim of the idea that salvation is only through some incarnation of...
Well the Epistles of Paul at least.
Everything else is anarchonism from later Christian doctrine and dogma (such as applying John 3:16 to Jesus himself when he's clearly teaching an allegory in that passage).
One good quote I heard once is that "Christianity is God-individualized and Man-Universalized".
This is of course a completely different view to Islam with God's Absoluteness being fully emphasized in the more core of doctrines, Tawhid (Unity of God). God-as-reality-itself (al-Haqq) rather than...
The core of Christian doctrine is "God made man", aka the incarnation of the logos as the historical figure of Jesus Christ. This is obviously an anthropomorphism of God, take it or leave it. The centerpiece and raison d'être of Christianity is in the resurrection of Jesus, the idea that his...
Colossians 2:8
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ."
Dude, I was trying to reason with this fundi Christian only a few weeks ago (not here) and...
I never defined anything, maybe you're confusing your discussion with someone else.
I would not consider a creature to be God, that is blatant contradiction.
You don't get what I said. What you keep describing is the "creation" side of the dichotomy, not "creator", that's why I mentioned it...
I do agree with you but not context you're speaking in. None of what you've described would ever be considered by me to be "God" and to consider the existence of a 'thing' such as that would be absurd.
All you've described is something indiscernible (in principle) from something in 'Creation'...
An entity is not God, so that cancels out fantasy novels of floating giants in outer-space as qualifying for "God". If you've applied any anthropomorphism whatsoever, to God then you have not described God.
One of my favorite songs by him, that entire album completely took me back when I first heard it. Now you've reminded me to listen to it again :D (and I have not thought of Cohen's music for quite a while....)
That song itself has a really strange melancholy that I cannot describe, it's very...
