Scripture readings for today

(29-04-2024, 09:05 AM)Ali Imran Wrote:  Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. - Acts 2

According to Jesus's closest disciple, Jesus was a man and God did the miracles through him, which means Jesus didn't do those miracles. It was God who did the miracles. Jesus also said, "I by myself can do nothing." 

So, I reject your claim of Jesus being God. How can Jesus be God when he himself worships God?

Jesus is the living god in human form....".I by myself can do nothing" suggests that he is humbling himself

Aiya....Don read too much of your quran that came 500yrs later..you Muslims always brag about the quran being original, intact, consistent but the fact is Uthman burned all the other versions of the quran and chose the best instead...

The quran must be inadequate because the goat ate part of it away... Big Grin

What's the problem?

Yeah,..I also can understand and I don speak Arabic!
Now you are not listening to your god or not paying attention in class..
 In order to understand the relevation in clear..you need to learn the Arabic language in full...this is what your God commands you to do

Don take your mentors or teachers for what they told you..they might have a different interpretation of what the real verse mean..

Like I say....how sad is it that your god requires everyone to know Arabic to know his clearest relevations!

Does Deuteronomy 24:1-4 say a person can marry their ex-spouse again?
Bible Answer:
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is about divorce and remarriage. The passage tells us that a man or woman cannot return to a former spouse and marry him or her if the former spouse had subsequently married another person. Here is the passage,

The contention is the no-divorce rule except on grounds of adultery. 

An abused spouse cannot seek divorce from an abusive partner.

Is that your god?

Yes...because no one believes god can take the form of human!
Do you believe?

You read the Bible in English, which was translated from the Greek manuscript. On top of that, Jesus spoke in Aramaic. You don't have the original words of Jesus.

For us, we have the original words of God, in Arabic, for our scholars to study.

No, I don't believe God needs to take the form of a human just to forgive us of our sins.

Yes, you have made it clear that Jesus's teachings were for the time when women had no status. That's what you said.

Jesus did not say we can only understand the bible in greek or Aramaic...

Your quran requires one to master Arabic ....this command isn't clear?...to understand it in its clearest form...
You need to learn Arabic to decipher the real meaning...Don wait for your scholars to spoon feed you...they might have different agendas on how and what to teach you and if there are any contradictions..they will sweep under the carpet..and claim it "for the good of islam"

If you yourself don even understand Arabic fully...then why should I trust your quran Big Grin

But God can take on human form because he is God....

Whether you believe he needs to take on human form to die for our sins...then that's your belief!

The Gospels were written 4 or 5 decades after Jesus in Koine Greek. It brought about many different understandings of what Jesus said, which is why you have some Christians saying Jesus is God and some Christians saying Jesus is not God. And some Christians saying must follow the law and others saying no need to follow the law.

Can the unlimited be limited at the same time?

Can the all-knowing not know some things?

Can the uncontainable be contained?

So many paradoxes.

I don live in those times my friend...and I am sure that what we read are the results of consistency in the findings....maybe there are some inaccuracies but that does not suggest that the overall understanding or consensus is not true!

The Bible has inaccuracies, contradictions, and errors. But yet, you said the overall understanding is true. 

What is the overall understanding you're talking about?

You can have thousands of manuscripts.....and yes there may be inaccuracies...but we just need to find what is consistent in the findings!!

Why not, stay single until your spouse mati then remarry

Matthew 19:8-9 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

Quran is 500 plus years even later can believe? No witness at all during Jesus’s time.

In the Bible, we read about Prophet Joseph's meeting with Pharoah. That is an inaccuracy because, at the time of Prophet Joseph, there were no pharaohs in Egypt. This particular inaccuracy is known as anachronism. In the Quran, Prophet Joseph met with the king of Egypt and Prophet Moses met with the pharaoh of Egypt. We only know of that inaccuracy in the Bible in modern times, when the Rosetta stones were found and interpreted. I can show you more of such inaccuracies in the Bible.

As for contradictions, we already discussed a few irreconcilable contradictions. Jesus said one thing and Paul said the opposite. 

As for errors, there are tons and tons of them but they are mostly spelling errors or other insignificant errors.

So you believe in the bible?

If we read the Bible at face value, without a preconceived bias for finding errors....we will find it to be a coherent, consistent, and relatively easy to understand book.... tiok boh

Yes, there are verses that appear to contradict each other. ...but we must remember that the Bible was written by so many different authors over a period of around 1,500 years.... Each writer wrote with a different style, from a different perspective, to a different audience, for a different purpose.....

We should and can expect some minor differences tiok boh.. ...However, a difference is not a contradiction...,, It is only an error if there is absolutely no conceivable way the verses or passages can be reconciled...... Even if an answer is not available right now, it does not mean an answer does not exist. ....Many have found a supposed error in the Bible in relation to history or geography only to find out that the Bible is correct once further archaeological evidence is discovered.......

And about Paul who was inspired by God.....we have discussed in great length before and I don wish to continue just like the Trinity was put to the front so many times before...perhaps oyk can take his time to recap Paul to our Muslim friend!
