    John 1:1

    Thank you all very much. I learned a lot. It seems that this verse can be read both ways. If the reader already believes in the Trinity then God otherwise a god or divine or godly. I also read on the Internet that the Coptic Bible has the indefinite article. So it would seem the Egyptians...

    Is Islamophobia bigotry?

    Just so you know different Sunni schools accept different Hadiths. It is only the Salafi who believe all Sahih Hadiths are 100% reliable. The problem some non Muslims appear to be having is lumping all Muslims in the same bag. Religions form a diverse set of beliefs among humans. The Salafi...

    Is Islamophobia bigotry?

    You are assuming that after experiencing secularism, pluralism, civil rights and equality these humans will fail to reform their beliefs, just as Christians have managed to do. I think there is a touch of bigotry or racism, I don’t know which, in such a belief

    John 1:1

    Most English Bibles (KJV, NIV etc) say “the Word was God” in John 1:1. However the JW Bible (NWT) says “the Word was a god”. Which is right?

    Who is Allah of Islam?

    Who was Allah that Muhammad the Prophet (MP) and the Koraysh worshipped? According to the Arabs, when MP arrived in Medina he found the Jews fasting. It turned out they were fasting on Yom e Kippur 10th of Tishri. So MP decided to fast too and declared it the 10 of Muharram or Ashura. This...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    So the question is who was MP? At the very least, the secular evidence seems to suggest that MP and his tribe were paternally closely related to the Jews. His tribe claimed to belong to the Ishmaelite nation. The DNA evidence supports these claims. MP's tribe worshipped local pagan deities...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    thanks for saying that. It isn't JC for several reasons, Firstly JC was not sent to the Egyptians nor did he establish an altar for sacrifices for Egyptians in Egypt. According to Isaiah 19 this savior is for the Egyptians! JC was sent to the Jews and lost Israelites. Secondly, there is no...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    The rest of them didn't join the Egyptians and Assyrians. In other words they didn't bring the 10 Chinese and African men and women. They also weren't smoking a pipe or leave a package. (MP shows them how to perform sacrifices at the altar in Mecca as well as leaves a Koran). Isaiah 19 is one...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    Isaiah 19:20 says the one who will do this is the great savior. Matt 24 describes him as the son of man. Let me put it this way, let's say I'm a good friend of yours. I'm rich and I write you a letter saying that sometime next week, there will be a moment when a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, a...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    I don't understand what you mean. The Bible describes a time that has only come true once in history. We can scientifically prove that those extremely rare things actually happened. Yet apparently you are still wondering when they will happen. Or did I not understand you?

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    As far as I can tell, this paper is essentially comparing closeness between populations based on the percentage mix of pre LGM ancestors from Africa, Middle East and Europe / Central Asia. This is why it is talking about sharing common ancestors who lived 10k or 20k or more thousand years...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    That would be like saying Moses didn't bring the Israelites to the Promised Land. We know who organized and established the faith so the conquest could happen. Actually, it started around 540. It didn't ease up for over a hundred years. By the time MP came on the scene it was raging. The fear...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    If Isaiah had given a name like Joe, everyone would name their sons Joe. That would be like saying the messiah would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey. Hell, didn't everyone ride into Jerusalem on a donkey? So what would be so great about a prophecy that says Joe would ride into Jerusalem on a...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    I noticed Augustus was of the same opinion. You do know we perform similar prayer rituals and celebrate similar religious holidays right? Are there particular Islamic rituals or or holidays that make you think we aren't similar? I will try to gather some info for you guys. Do you know much...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    Can I ask about your personal religious beliefs for a second? Is this just an academic interest of yours or are you personally and emotionally invested in the outcomes of this discussion too? I can tell that you are a well read, intelligent and articulate person. Thanks

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    Let us assume it is mumbo jumbo. Are you saying this mumbo jumbo was written after 6th CE? We have Dead Sea Scrolls and many other OT texts that predate the 6th century. Or do you disagree with even this? So if thos book of Mumbo Jumbo has a chapter describing a string of once in an eternity...

    Will the real Islam please stand up

    Can you please shed light on what is being compared? The Jewish nation over the years has taken in some converts from surrounding nations. To compare the Y DNA signature of ancient Israelites to non Israelite nations we need to compare these nations to the common Y- DNA signature of Oriental...
