Is There Any Thing Wrong with.....

Strange that how males dominated religion in an age were they dominated society.

Why does god have a gender if not for political purposes?

Precisely. And I find it a tad coincidental that a Near Eastern god conceptualized in the late Bronze Age so strongly resembles a Bronze Age bearded king sitting on his throne. What would God be conceptualized as now? An anthropomorphic clean-shaven white man in a crisp navy blue suit and mono color tie, sitting in a high-backed chair at an executive desk?

And I do know what happens in Heaven, it's nonstop worship, like in the book of Revelation.

So you were there? Saw all this happening? Or is that only a theory that you subscribe to?

God as a company CEO.

Why does god always look grumpy?

There's a description of it in Revelation, like I said. Is there a problem?

By doing exactly that...the Bible is meant to be read and understood, in context, in its entirety...only then is it in full harmony...

Really?

Which Bible are you referring to? Which edition? Or Version? The specific bible you think is the only "real" version?

So, you are denying the Koran's own words? Got it...:2razz:

I read those verses in the link you provided, and saw nothing which claimed that Islam was exclusive to Arabs.

I've told you before...I use several translations, not just one...also an Interlinear translation...

The Book of Revelation was a veiled-reference to Rome under Domitian, and the futile hope that Parthian raiders would take the Romans down as far west as Asia Minor. So yeah, there's a problem in claiming religious theories as being based upon reality.

Did I say that? No...I said it was written originally written solely to them...

There is nothing, miss copy-and-paste without reading is just spouting her ignorance and racism.

You have been inferring all along that Islam is exclusive to Arabs. Are you backing off that inference now?

Nope, never said that...I said that is who it was originally intended for when it was written...

So then what are the two of you disagreeing about, if both of you agree that Islam isn't exclusive to Arabs???

So the bottom line is that both of you agree that Islam is not exclusive to Arabs. Case settled; nothing more to argue about on that point.

Post# 307

"The Arabic Koran is considered to be a book intended solely for the Arabs, not for Christians..."


A bit like saying the Hebrew Bible was intended solely for Jews.

Tell me the New Testament written in Greek - who was that intended for?





Did JK Rowling intend Harry Potter from Germans or is it she could only write in English?

So you say. And this has what to do with the worship described in Revelation? How does it harm you?

Why would you need "several"?
Which several do you use? And why those over several others?

And what exactly is an "Interlinear translation"?

Never said it harmed me, because it doesn't. I was only responding to you making a claim that something was factual, when in fact it was only theoretical.

ETA: And that theory was based upon something predicted to occur at some unknown point before the end of the 1st century CE - which didn't happen.

Wait a minute, you want to come here and argue with us daily about our faith and you don't know what these things are?

You still haven't answered my question, how does this change what is written in Revelation 4, and there have been lots of things that were "supposed to have happened", the JWs have over 100.

I never said anything that was written in Revelation changed what was written in Revelation. I only emphasized the context, and the fact that your take on it is merely theoretical. Nothing more, nothing less. That should suffice in answering your question.
