One God. One brotherhood. Simple concept but so hard for ego-driven folks to understand or apply. |

The way Isaiah says it is to be read, line upon line? This quote got me banned for 4 weeks before, but I hope it does not this time. I SAMUEL 5:4,5 "And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day." Allah is a moon god not the Sun of Righteousness. |

What about the New Testament is so far beyond your comprehension? firstly Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24068631 The New Testament effectively changes God from the one that the Jews worhsipped to a New Type of God who supposedly indwells the individual. I can not grasp this, because individuals who have supposedly been "born again" seem to be just as evil as they were before the were born again. Sometimes it takes a few weeks for the religious zeal to wear off, but people seldom do become transformed as Christian money grabbing preachers say they will. In fact the only place where I have seen lasting life conversion is in prison converts who really put on a good show of piety and faith until they get out of prison. Then they usually revert to their criminal selves. If you think I am wrong, show me where this conversion of self with the indwelling of the Spirit of God has changed people on a permanent basis. You might get me to be a believer. |

Serenity777 User ID: 1129812 United States 11/17/2012 09:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am Jewish and do not understand the Second half of the book that the Christians call the Bible. I know the Jewish scripture, but do not see that Allah is satan. Granted, the Islamic Religion has caused a lot of discord in the world, but that does not equate to the god of Islam being the God of the nether world. Quoting: Myron Goldblatt 16674316 Can an Christian please explain this to me. Its about as true as THEIR GOD being Satan as well. WHY? Both religions...Christianity and Islam were based off the "Abrahamic Religions." They're ONE IN THE SAME. Thats's the reason why in the Old Testament, Christians had a "jealous and ANGRY God." And, its also the reason why Islam would believe in "Jihad" and "Holy Wars." Same God...different branch of the same religion. Most Christians just aren't very educated...that's all.

I will look into this conversion thing more closely. I find it amusing though that God did not reveal himself as this indwelling spirit during the 4000 years that the Jewish people worshipped him. Our Jewish faith has been around for a long time, and somehow we supposedly missed this indwelling spirit thingy?????? None of the prophets told us about the indwelling spirit of God. None of the judges or our kings did either. So why did the Christians get this revelation when God did not send it to the Jews? Forgive me if I seem confused, but quite frankly, I am. |

Simple as that, just a common word around ancient languages that indicates a lord, or god for that matter. Indeed, they're the same, as Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions. Easy as that. Depicting 'Allah' as a different God, a devil even, was simply a ploy to make the crusades more favourable. It hung. |

I'm not perfect but I can deal with my sins for the first time in my life with any sort of effectiveness. You're right about corruption in the church, but it isn't all bad. There are many wolves in sheeps clothing however. Before the 2nd coming of Christ it is said that the Jewish people will mourn for Jesus like the loss of their son, and then he will come. |
