Hello, yep a different denomination of Christian. And I agree with you. What!!!??Aqualung said:yeah, well a differnt denomination of christian could argue all they wanted, but the facts all point toward me being right (though whether or not the BoM is right is a different story).
But that is true of everybody. If God sent down a parchment to you which proved that Christianity was the true religion, you would just say "that is not true, this is just magic".hewwa said:even if we were to send down a book to you on parchment pages and they were actually to touch it with their own hands, those who do not believe would still say, 'this nothing but downright magic
(quran 6:7)
It is a very simple point. The question is: what would have to be shown to you to convince you that Islam was not the true religion? Is there anything? for example, if the Angel Gabriel appeared to you and say you must convert being a Christian, would you do that?IslamicMuslimah said:and tha tis okay they dont have to be looking for anything more... we are hear toadvise and what they do with the info is on them not us... it is our duties to tell people that have questions bout islam wha tit is and answer the questions honestly and if you dont may allah forgive you for not ansewering improperly... no i cant say i would believe one way or another.. but if allah wrote on a piece of parchment i dont think it would like you are thinking so we would know it would be him
I have my own copy of the Qur'an. I find nothing fundamental in it that conflicts with the teachings of Jesus. (I would hate to give up my bacon sandwiches though)IslamicMuslimah said:and merlin one of the biggest problems right now is muslims want people to know the answer so they will show quran but wont explain it... if you have questions please ask.
Right on brother!! If we wanted to change, we wouldn't be babbling on like we know what were talking about.Merlin said:Very few people want to change their views. the majority of people who read these pages are just looking for positive reinforcement of their own views.
It would be quite nice, though, if people actually considered that other views 'just might' have merit.Dentonz said:Right on brother!! If we wanted to change, we wouldn't be babbling on like we know what were talking about.
That is much like asking if purple Pixie poop is more probable than puce: please stop abusing probability.Merlin said:Is it plausible, that God would create this vast array of races and creeds and cultures, but only one religion. I ask you, on the balance of probability, is it likely.
I asked if it was 'likely'. There is a difference between that and probability theory.Jayhawker Soule said:That is much like asking if purple Pixie poop is more probable than puce: please stop abusing probability.
Sorry, I thought you said ...Merlin said:I asked if it was 'likely'. There is a difference between that and probability theory.
I erroneously assumed that your reference to 'the balance of probability' was intended to have something to do with "probability". Had I known that the phrase was intended as empty rhetoric, I would have responded differently.Merlin said:I ask you, on the balance of probability, is it likely.
The balance of probabilities an expression that means is it likely when reviewing similar situations. I do not know if you are English, but you are using my language, I don't need lessons in using it.Jayhawker Soule said:Sorry, I thought you said ...

Perhaps, ... perhaps not. How many God-created multicultural worlds have you reviewed/experienced to enable you to arrive at some BOP?Merlin said:The balance of probabilities an expression that means is it likely when reviewing similar situations. ..., I don't need lessons in using it.

I am asking you to look with logic at what is likely to be the case if God created a world with any kind of social symmetry (and I accept he may not have done).
Because there is no proof about anything religious, I was suggesting we could look at something that we could see and create a hypothesis from that observation. If God created the cultural and ethnic elements of this world in that way, is it likely he would create religion in a completely different way. Is that easier to understand now?
It wasn't a statement, by the way, it was a question.
Your right . The majority of the world is wrong. Many are on the broad path to destruction, only a few are on the narrow way (Matt 7:13-14). Jesus is the only way, not one structured religion..Merlin said:It would be quite nice, though, if people actually considered that other views 'just might' have merit.
I love the way that each denomination 'knows' beyond any doubt that they are the 'chosen people'. They often quote the same verses of the same Bible but assume those verses apply to them and their priests rather than anybody else's.
If there is one unique path, then by definition the majority of you are wrong. No, it is worse than that, the majority of the world is wrong.
There will be a lot of red faces outside the pearly gates (assuming we still have faces).
It is likely?
Is it plausible, that God would create this vast array of races and creeds and cultures, but only one religion. I ask you, on the balance of probability, is it likely
