The world in the context of Quran doesn't refer to the good things in the physical world which are for us to appreciate God's favor inwardly as well.
It refers to if we make Satan really our direction instead of God. Satan takes over a soul through trickery. The world that is condemned is the...
With all respect, I don't go in for this "spirit good, matter bad; heaven good, world bad" kind of thing. For all the suffering this world has, it has its beauty, its love, its meaning, whether it is listening to birds sing in the early morning, or looking into the eyes of a newborn, or a hero...
You:
Are you accusing me of being one who doesn't understand the doctrine of evolution? I didn't elaborate a narrative of the evolution of the universe. Why don't you wait until I present such a narrative before you accuse me of not understanding it?
You:
Okay, let's see if you believe in the...
You still really do not know what you are talking about, YoursTrue.
Yes, Genesis 2:1-4, may be ON SEPARATE CHAPTER THAN THAT OF Genesis 1, but context-wise, these 4 verses are actually integral part of all the contents of Genesis 1, because oririginally there were no chapters and there were no...
That is true as I believe it, and apparently so do you -- specifically that the laws of the Torah were for the Jews to follow. This was not from the beginning as to Adam and Eve. The laws given to the Jews came way after Adam and Eve were created. And for them, there was basically one law that...
Not all Jews stop working on the Sabbath. There are different branches of Judaism, some wear special garments, some separate men from women in the synagogue, other groups do not.. Sorry you got so upset.
Maybe you recall what Jesus said when he healed a man on the Sabbath. That can be found at...
I am not ignoring the Sabbath at all. I do not believe each of the creative days was 24 hours long anyway. Even if it were, God rested on the seventh day, right?
Exodus 16, YoursTrue.
you are still ignoring the sabbath.
The sabbath is no longer in duration than that of any other day of the week - in which a new day start at the beginning of an evening.
here, in the west, with modern clock, our day starts at midnight. With Judaism, Jews begin their new...
I do not believe that God created people to be wicked. How could that be true if God created man in His own image?
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
In order for Proverbs 16:4 to be true, if it is referring...
They're meaningful to me in helping me dismiss the Bible as a reliable source of information much less the words of a channeled deity, as are the historical and scientific errors, and the intellectual and moral failures attributed to the deity.
But they're useless in discussions with...
You are the one who is blind to what is going on in the world.
You have NO IDEA what I want to hear because you are not a mind-reader. I do not believe what was revealed by Bahaullah because I WANT to believe it. I believe it because I believe it is the truth.
God created everything good...
Your response here...
Yes but that does not make what you say true either if what you say is in disagreement with scripture. What you posted does not make any sense either and neither is the idea we are still in the seventh day of the creation week supported by scripture as shown in the very...
Your response here..
That is not truthful at all. According to the scripture a day in Gods creation time in Genesis1 is the darkness (night) followed by the light (day) and together these make up one day. You can read the scriptures here for yourself.
Genesis 1:5 5, And God called the light...
Um...I think it's nuts to think the days of creation are seasonal in length. Bye for now. Night and day were considered as one...DAY. Just like a new DAY begins and lasts 24 hours.
Not necessarily as it depends on the season. (e.g. summer longer days and winter shorter). According to the scriptures as posted earlier for you, a day in Gods time includes the darkness of night first followed by the daylight or day second. The evening (darkness) and the morning of daylight...
I think I was quoting from Genesis 1. Let's look again -- Genesis 1:29-31:
"Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the...
