I am reading them and it's good to see that God speaks to the nations and sends them Messengers from among themselves. I am also learning Greek, Hebrew and Arabic.
Any other believers here in this DIR who believe Jesus is the Son, the Christ, and that only YHVH the Father is God, and that there...
Hello, I'm a follower of the Muslim faith. yet I promote skepticism because if a faith is right then you wouldn't have problems questioning it, logically.
Now I have a few simple questions to ask to mostly all the followers of the abrahamic faith.
I wouldn't argue that all the abrahamic faiths...
I grew up reading the New International Version (NIV) most of my life, but in recent years I have started reading other translations like the New Living Translation (NLT) and the English Standard Version (ESV). Which English translations do you prefer, and what is your reason? Do you tend to...
Since I Can't post in the DIR I'll make a thread here. It's been a few years actually, I'm certain to meet many new people and I hope to encounter many of my old friends here.
The literal translations of "Satan" mean "opposition" or "adversary". By this definition, any and all "God(s)" are...
In my search of faiths over the past years, I came across quite compelling thoughts that Muhammad is foretold of in the Bible.
One would have to consider that if the Bible is to be seen as accurate with prophecy in the Abrahamic line, to have left out mentioning Muhammads Revelation, which had...
God/Bible have flaws solved?
I see that many people are quite hung up that their scripture should be flawless. Why?
A): Hypothetical: Bible has no flaws, then it's easy to prove that God has flaws
Bible states "God created man in His image"
Man has flaws, makes errors. So God has flaws, makes...
We read in the Bible about Methuselah being like 1000 years old.
True or Not?
My Master declared that age has to do with breath. So if you control breath and breathe once a minute instead of 15 times then you can immensely extend life. Makes also sense to me, considering age/breath of animals...

'THE BIBLE AND SCIENCE DON'T COINCIDE!'
Below are some reasons why I disagree with the statement above :)

Everyone wants to live and enjoy life right? Who doesn't enjoy eating an apple, or mango, or grape, or....? The things on this earth that can satisfy man, are almost endless, and the beauty about is is that we never tire of those things - They always seem fresh, and the experience always seem...
Share your experience.
What has been your experience with the Bible?
Has the Bible helped people, or hindered them - changed people for the better, or for the worst?
My experience with the Bible, is that it has helped people in a major amount of ways, and changed people's lives for the better...
This question has developed over time via a rather large array of attempts made at my conversion that have never once seemed humble in origin to me. And I thought to start this thread today after a particularly interesting attempt at proselytizing that happened just yesterday as I was walking my...
For starters the whole Noah story arc. If not taken literally what twisted message is it trying to convey? If you take it literally there is substantial evidence against it. For instance, if all mammals are descendants from who was on the ark, we would all be horribly inbred. I can concede that...
Logic and the rest of critical thinking present information that is eternally true. Assuming an afterlife, then learning such information is far more important than learning information that just goes irrelevant or obsolete. Yet most theists, who supposedly believe in an afterlife, are less...
Hello y'all,
I was just reading the bible again when I read something that I didn't remember seeing before. It said, "After the heavens have demised, and the devil takes the fallen crown of God, a new a new empire shall reign supreme, bathed in the sins of Hell." After reading this I...
Christianity seems to have become polarized. For example Christianity and science seem to be clashing; global warming being the most known example. There doesn't seem to be conflict with Buddhism and science with the dalia lama stating ''If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then...
For Christians who believe Hell only means death or the grave and not a place of torment, what do the biblical references for the Lake of Fire allude to?
For Christians who believe hell is a place of torment and punishment, is the Lake of Fire Hell itself, or is it something else?
What is...
The god of the Old Testament is evil depraved and vicious demanding complete subjugation.
Why do Christians even attempt to defend this, and then further say God is always good and righteous when in fact much of the Old Testament is choc full of God's actions and deeds that point to the...
