Do you have unity among 45000 sects after praying in your own languages?

Can you enter churches belonging to other sects?

Jesus speaks Aramaic not Arabic
His angels speak English to me

English is not your language.Why do you pray in English?

When Jesus comes in your dreams, Does he speak in English or Aramaic?
(05-08-2025, 07:19 PM)Ali Imran Wrote: [ -> ]So you believe God at first was not a man, and later, he changed to a man.

That is another contradiction because Malachi 3 says God does not change.

Did Malachi said God cannot change to a man?
Change can be many meanings 
Eg I said u cannot change means your character remains same 
It does not mean u can change into God or a woman 
Understand ?

What was copied then?

From Protestant, Catholic or orthodox bible?
(05-08-2025, 07:32 PM)Ali Imran Wrote: [ -> ]Ok noted.

So, you disbelieving it doesn't make it false.

What about Malachi 3 which says God does not change but you believe God changed into a man?

God does not change His promise to the Israelites lah...do you read the whole context... You suka suka whack only!

It also means God does not change His words. When God says He is not a man, and then He suddenly changes to a man, that's a contradiction.

Allah gave one book. You have 27 books.

Allah gave Jesus, not to unknown authors


Isn’t it corruption?

God is not a man capable of lying...but when God takes on human form, He does not lie because Jesus is fully God fully man..

That is why Jesus is sinless...can a God carry sins and take on flesh? That would be a contradiction isn't it

Muhammad told us that Jesus said Ahmad can be found in the Torah and the gospel but after 2000+ years ..we have not found his name..

Why is Muhammad lying about Jesus?

In Malachi, God says He does not change. Period. In James 1, it also says God does not change like shifting shadows.

When God says that through repentance, our sins will be erased, that doesn't change. But you believe that rule changes. God suddenly needs blood to forgive sins.

So many things changed when Paul came along. How come?

We only have one book and that is the Bible...Allah gave you 4 books..not only one..is that a corruption?

So when God becomes a man, God will then be capable of lying.

Even Zakir Naid is going to Isaiah to find a word similar to Ahmad

˹They are˺ the ones who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whose description they find in their Torah and the Gospel.1 He commands them to do good and forbids them from evil, permits for them what is lawful and forbids to them what is impure, and relieves them from their burdens and the shackles that bound them. ˹Only˺ those who believe in him, honour and support him, and follow the light sent down to him will be successful.

God is never capable of lying even when He takes on flesh...you are capable of lying because you are not God and you are sinful Big Grin

Sahih International: And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad."

Pls do not ask me again that God cannot be a man any more...I will give you the explanation one last time

God is not a man":
This part of the verse emphasizes the fundamental difference between God and humanity. Humans are finite, subject to change, and can be influenced by various factors. 

"That he should lie":
This highlights God's perfect truthfulness. Unlike humans, God is incapable of deception or falsehood. 

"Nor a son of man, that he should repent":
This further emphasizes God's unchanging nature. Repentance implies a change of mind or course of action, something God does not experience. 

"Has he said, and will he not do it?":
This rhetorical question reinforces the certainty of God's promises. If God has spoken something, it will undoubtedly come to pass. 

"Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?":
This reiterates the reliability of God's word, emphasizing that He always fulfills His promises. 
In essence, the verse assures believers that God's word is trustworthy and that His promises will be kept. It's a foundational statement about God's character and integrity.

A man is capable of lying. So when your God turns into a man, he will be capable of lying. Your scriptures say so, not me.

So the infinite God turns finite. That's what you believe.

Yes ..He allows lying on 3 exception cases

You already said that God cannot do something that contradicts His divine attributes and nature.

So, why do you believe a man is God?
