Re: Biblical war crimes

We've acknowledged that you equate Acts of God with the war crimes of the Israelites. We've told you that you won't convince us to join you in equating a natural disaster with cold blooded massacres and rapes by humans. Why are you avoiding the logical conclusion of your views?: I understand you hav...

Re: Clashes break out over re-opening of Synagogue

The point in this thread is that Israel is actually breaking international law in East Jerusalem in seeking to consolidate the illegal annexation. Two wrongs don't make a right - and here the ones in the wrong are clearly those who are breaking international law. As for the survey above, again you g...

Re: Quicksand

Unfortunately, the sad fact is that the region is propped up by the US and not the other way round. The 'success' seems to be being measured in material gains - and bizarely seems to be measured by how much like the US (as portrayed on TV and hollywood) we can make this corner of the world become.

Was my question difficult? He quotes the Quran there and gives you the references for the attributes of God. Rahman, as we've pointed out before, is also dealt with. The conclusion is that the one and only God is common to all three religions. If you disagree, you can quote him and show where he's w...

Re: Quran-Emancipate, Liberate and Marry Slaves

You say tomato..

The bottom line is you haven't been able to back up your wild assertion that God allows adultery. Better luck next time.

Kung's statement is pretty categorical - s.ex outside marriage - not allowed.

Re: Quran and Science (Conversation)

God says the Moon and Sun follow orbits relative to the earth and other heavenly bodies. Which science textbook says this is wrong?

Now, which science textbook agrees with the Bible which says the sun can stop in it's tracks?

Quran 1. Bible 0.

Re: Eh- Are you a born sinner or a "Born Again"

Ah, the ostrich defence again.

Kung says it is the same God (as Christianity and Judaism) and explains what God's attributes are (and gives Quranic references).

Do you disagree with Kung that the God of the Quran is the same as the God of Moses and Jesus?
