Do not associate the bible and quran when asking when trying to describe the Creator. They are not the same and their understanding of it is different. Compare them seperate.TehuTi said:God is '' Anyone '' or '' Thing '' In control of other beings or things , To be God does not make you The All . God is within the All , '' For Ye Are Gods '' As Psalm 82 ; 6 , States and John 10 ; 34 , Supposts it stating '' ... Is It Now Written In Your Law , I Said , Ye Are Gods ?
You are not The Source of all things , For you are one of the things in The Source . The God concept as mentioned above is man's , Man had to be A '' He '' ( Genesis 15 ; 7 ) . Had to be in A '' Home In The Heaven '' ( Joshua 2 ; 11 ) '' , Had to be '' In Control Over People's Destinies ''
( 1Samuel 2 ; 3 ) , A Judge '' ( Genesis 15 ; 14 ) And '' Prosecutor '' And '' Sentencer ''
( Deuteronomy 17 ; 10 ) '' And '' Executer ( Exodus 12 ; 12 ) And had to have '' Hands '' ( 1Samuel 5 ; 11 ) And had to have '' A Heart '' ( Genesis 6;6 , 8 ; 21 ; Koran 2 ; 255 ) And had to have '' Eyes '' ( Genesis 6 ; 8 )
Eventually Michelangelo , One of the great artists of the 15th century in Italy , Drew God as an Old Man in the image of his own race on the ceiling of his 16th chapel . And the christians personify God in their image to form the many states that dawned the many crosses in christianity ; Or to symbolically be present in A black stone in the corner of A cube-shape building in Mecca one the part of The Muslims . The Koran is saturated with countless demonstrative pronouns of God being '' He '' or Him ( Koran 112 ; 1 ; 2-4 )

What does the black stone have to do with any of this?
lew0049 said:What?????You really need to do some research outside the bible Lew. Nazareth is not mentioned in any historical records or biblical texts of the time and receives no mention by any contemporary historian. Nazareth is not mentioned in the Old Testament, the Talmud, nor in the Apocrypha and it does not appear in any early rabbinic literature. Nazareth was not included in the list of settlements of the tribes of Zebulon which mentions twelve towns and six villages. Nazareth is not included among the 45 cities of Galilee that were mentioned by Josephus (37AD-100AD).Nazareth didn't exist until 2nd century C.E - This should some truly insightful information. So please, show me where you found that Nazareth wasn't around during the supposed time of Jesus.
Nazareth is also missing from the 63 towns of Galilee mentioned in the Talmud.
According to my research, Nazareth did not exist as a town until the third century CE. Exhaustive archaeological studies have been done by Franciscans to prove that such a town existed but actually they have shown the site to have been a cemetery during the first century CE. With no Nazareth other than a cemetery existing at the time, how could there have been a Jesus of Nazareth?
Tacitus was born in 56CE so according to you, he was 8 years old when he wrote about Jesus. He was a clever little boy wasn't he? No Tacitus wrote about your jesus in c.112CE.Tacitus allegedly wrote passage about "Christ" - this passage has several problems however: Tacitus uses the term "procurator", used in his later times, but not correct for the actual period, when "prefect" was used. Tacitus names the person as "Christ", when Roman records could not possibly have used this name (it would have been "Jesus, son of Joseph" or similar.) This passage is paraphrased by Sulpicius Severus in the 5th century without attributing it to Tacitus, and may have been inserted back into Tacitus from this work. This evidence speaks AGAINST it being based on any Roman records - but merely a few details which Tacitus gathered from Christian stories circulating in his time. So, this passage is NOT evidence for Jesus, it's just evidence for 2nd century Christian stories about Jesus.And nobody ehard of Jesus until the mid 2nd century?? very interesting, especially since a non-christian Tacitus wrote about him in A.D 64, Talmud betwenn 70-110 A.D., Pliny the younger in 112 A.D...
The TALMUD. Which Talmud are you refering to? The Babylonian Talmud was not written until 500CE and the Palestinian Talmud was not written until the 3rd Century so how could either have mentioned Jesus in 70CE. There are some possible references in the Talmud, but: these references are from 3rd century or later, and seem to be unfriendly Jewish responses to Christian claims. The references are highly variant, have many cryptic names for Jesus, and very different to the Gospel stories (e.g. one story has "Jesus" born about 100BC.) The Talmud contains NO evidence for Jesus, the Talmud merely has much later Jewish responses to the Gospel stories.

Pliny the Younger.
Pliny referred to Christians who worshipped a "Christ" as a god, but there is no reference to a historical Jesus or Gospel events. Pliny is not evidence for a historical Jesus, just evidence for 2nd century Christians who worshipped a Christ.

....and before you mention all the other historians who 'allegedly' wrote about Jesus, such as Josephus, Suetonius, Ignatius, Thallus, Phlegon, Valentinus, Polycarp, Lucian, Galen and Mara Bar Serapion, I can destroy those 'facts' as well.
There are none. Why would anyone record an event that didn't happen? Please show me the records from the Roman archives that show it did happen.Please show me a document from 0-100 A.D. that disputes someone named Jesus being crucified by the Romans.
Then you are badly misinformed my friend. The most "authoritative" accounts of a historical Jesus come from the four canonical Gospels of the Bible. These Gospels did not come into the Bible as original and authoritative from the authors themselves, but rather from the influence of early church fathers, especially the most influential of them all: Irenaeus of Lyon who lived in the middle of the second century.I believe the gospels circulated before 150 A.D
Then the 'Burden of Proof' lies with you to prove it.however, supposing that is the case, the apostles were teaching that Jesus was crucified in the first century A.D
You have not shown anything you just made statements. How is Islam a form of Christianity? What is your evidence?TehuTi said:Islam is just another form of Christian as I have show you in the post call where did Islam get its teaching from .
Sorry, I don't quite understand the question but I would say no, you can't make something out of nothing. Why do you ask?lew0049 said:pladecalvo -
I just noticed you were an atheist. Tell me, how you do make something out of nothing? Is it possible?
Mujahid Mohammed said:True belief in Islam is Knowing without a doubt. Like what Allah says about the Quran Surah Baqarah verses 1-3
No, Blind belief is ignorance. Our belief is stemmed from fact. The fact that Allah never lies and neither did his Messenger.TehuTi said:Belief Is Ignorance . Belief Is To Ignore The Facts Intentionally Or Ignorantly , If One Has To Believe , It Means He Or She Does Not Know . And If One Does Not Know , That Is Ignorance . Hence Belief Is Ignorance And Religious Belief WithOut The Facts Is Ignorance , ( Got The Point ) .
