    Hi Apple pie,

    Here's what we believe in short
    -we believe in one supreme God, who has no form or shape.

    • we believe in righteousness as our requirement of living our religion.

    Where is this stated in your book of faith?

    O, well, like I said u have no clue, dont u?
    Read Quran before arguing then.

    ''Believe nothing on the faith of traditions,
    even though they have been held in honor
    for many generations and in diverse places.
    Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it.
    Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past.
    Do not believe what you yourself have imagined,
    persuading yourself that a God inspires you.
    Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests.
    After examination, believe what you yourself have tested
    and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.''

    • Buddha

    Where is "Buddha" mentioned in your book of faith....?

    And also apply some ''common sense''. )

    Peace!

      Your assertion.

      Your proof.

        EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!

        well not exactly. But the truth is not about 1 book of faith. Its about this world. And the truth is manifest everywhere. You just have to look.

          Peace be upon you Apple Pie,

          Sorry, I was away from forum all weekend. Quickly, you asked me why I quote from thsi book caled "Koran" while my guidance is the universe. The answer is that this is what this site was designed for, study and debate of the "Koran".

          However, you will see me quote several books and philosophies all over this forum.

          I dont realy have any interest in reading all of the posts that transpired from my last response on page 1. I will just ask, what does 666 mean to you. I want to see what kind of guidance you get from it compared to what I stated.

            Peace be upon you Apple Pie,

            I will just ask, what does 666 mean to you. I want to see what kind of guidance you get from it compared to what I stated.

            Welcome back?

            Hope that you had a pleasant time off.

            Revelation tells us of two beasts.

            One from the sea, and one from the earth.

            Amazingly, as it is, the Koran (which is ~50% Biblical Book of Revelation material), also mentions these two beasts.

            The first beast represents Satan.

            The second beast represents mankind.

            666 represents mankind, and is tied to the second beast, from the Earth

            This is not one man - but the whole of mankind that is under the influence of the devil, either by thought or deed (i.e. the ?mark? on their forehead or hand).

            There are Muslims out there that give absolutely zero credit to the Biblical Book of Revelation, when, in fact, nearly the entire book (if not the total book) is strewn across the pages of the Koran in a hap-hazard fashion.

            Makes the detective work a little more rewarding when the 1,000 piece puzzle has to be put back together after it was put in the Islamic box and shaken-up?.

            Hope this helps?

                      Peace Apple Pie,

                      You still haven't got it.

                      4143 What is said to you is precisely what was said to the previous messengers. Your Lord possesses forgiveness, and He also possesses painful retribution.

                      All messengers bring the same message.

                      There is nothing NEW about the Koran or Islam. It's the real thing, and always has been.

                      The fact that you see corrupted fragments of genuine material in amongst the rape, anthropomorphism, incest, and corruption of the biblical texts is proof of the above verse.

                      Regards.

                        All messengers bring the same message.

                        Then you admit that Book of Revelation material was used extensively by the authors of the Koran.

                        Thanks...

                        There is nothing NEW about the Koran or Islam.

                        Not quite.

                        There is nothing new in the Koran that was not stated hundreds and even thousands of years BEFORE it was copied into your book of faith.

                        Islam, however, is a new (and distorted) way of interpreting the non-new translated Koran.

                        It's the real thing, and always has been.

                        Neither are the real deal.

                        One is a second-hand translated Arabic copy of the original, and the other is a twisted man-made interpretation of the copied scriptures.

                        Just accept this fact.

                        The fact that you see corrupted fragments of genuine material in amongst the rape, anthropomorphism, incest, and corruption of the biblical texts is proof of the above verse.

                        Regards.

                        Why do you talk this way about your book of faith....?

                          Please elaborate on that. Give verses from both books so I can understand your understanding and see how it relates to life to be used as guidance.

                            What about the copying of the bible from other more ancient texts?

                              Let's start with an example that I have already uncovered in sura 81...

                              The Woman rides the Beast

                              kai estaqh epi thn ammon ths qalasshs kai eidon ek ths qalasshs qhrion anabainon econ kerata deka kai kefalas epta kai epi twn keratwn autou deka diadhmata kai epi tas kefalas autou | onomata | <onomata> | blasfhmias

                              Rev 13.1 And I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw out of the sea a beast coming up, having heads seven and horns ten, and on the horns of it ten diadems, and on the heads of it names of blasphemy.

                              kai aphnegken me eis erhmon en pneumati kai eidon gunaika kaqhmenhn epi qhrion kokkinon | gemonta | <gemonta> | onomata blasfhmias ecwn kefalas epta kai kerata deka

                              Rev 17.3 And he carried me away into a desert, by the Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

                              kai h gunh hn peribeblhmenh porfuroun kai kokkinon kai kecruswmenh crusiw kai liqw timiw kai margaritais ecousa pothrion crusoun en th ceiri auths gemon bdelugmatwn kai ta akaqarta ths porneias auths

                              Rev 17.4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and being gilded with gold and precious stone and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominations and unclean things of her fornication.

                              kai ta deka kerata a eides kai to qhrion outoi mishsousin thn pornhn kai hrhmwmenhn poihsousin authn kai gumnhn kai tas sarkas auths fagontai kai authn katakausousin | | en | puri

                              Rev 1716 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolated and naked. And they will eat her flesh, and will burn her down with fire.

                              http//www.davidmiles.net/IMAGES/large_Whore.jpg

                              Compare to 81.4?

                              Wa-itha alAAisharu AAuttilat

                              81.4 And when the ten and ten abandoned the woman.

                              = ?isharu?

                              ?isharu? definition

                              Plural. Ten and ten; or ten and ten together; or ten at a time and ten at a time; having the quality of an epithet. They come ten and ten. The repetition is for the purpose of corroboration. It comes from the root ?ashara?, which means to take away a tenth part, make ten by adding one to nine, be the tenth.

                              = ?al? + ?isharu? = ?alAAisharu? = the ten and ten

                              Observe that the usage of the root derivative ?muAAattalatin?, in 22.45, pertains to the destruction and destitution of a city?just as it does in 81.4?

                              Summary of 81.4

                              ? The Book of Revelation dictates Koranic Eschatology
                              ? 81.4 begins with ?wa-itha?, which is a continuation of 81.3, and can be rendered as ?remember the time??hence the information contained in this ayah also existed prior to it being penned in Arabic
                              ? Revelation describes the First Beast rising from the sea, as having ?deka? ?keras?, or ten horns, with ?deka? ?diadema?, or ten diadems (crowns), on the horns?or ten horns and ten crowns
                              ? 81.4 tells us of ?alAAisharu?, or Ten and ten; or ten and ten together; or ten at a time and ten at a time
                              ? ?alAAisharu? is termed as an epithet?which is used to describe the nature of a thing
                              ? The ten and ten is used as corroboration, i.e. to support with evidence in order to make more certain
                              ? Revelation also tells that a ?gune?, or woman, is riding this First Beast from the sea
                              ? Further, Revelation informs us that this woman is initially ?periballo?, or bedecked, with all manner of garments and ?chrusoo?, or ornaments
                              ? Revelation tells us that this woman becomes ?eremoo?, or desolate of her vast possessions, and ?gumnos?, or naked (unclad)
                              ? 81.4 tells us that ?uttilat? also refers to a woman
                              ? ?Uttilat? describes this woman as ?she had not upon her any woman?s ornaments; and wore not any ornature, or decoration or her neck was destitute of necklaces or the like.?
                              ? Further, the root ?atila? informs us that this woman becomes denuded, unclad, or naked
                              ? Amazingly, it is beyond any reasonable doubt that the description in 81.4 is the very same one as described in the Book of Revelation, and represents the Woman (i.e. Babylon the Great, the City of man) as she is riding the First Beast (i.e. the devil), and has come to her own destruction

                                I will wait until you are finished explaining it. Tie it in with 666 and explain its meaning in everday life and our behavior.

                                  Do you agree with the example that I have just posted...?

                                  Yes...or no...?

                                  And why...

                                    Peace be upon you,

                                    Tell me this...

                                    Do you agree with the example that I have just posted...?

                                    Are you asking me if I agree, just as the picture you provided shows, that one day there will be a woman/dinosaur combination coming out of the sea or something? No, I dont agree with that.

                                    Yes...or no...?

                                    And why...

                                    First of all, the topic is "666", I have seen nothing about that, plus what I am looking for is guidance, tie it in to everyday life, as I have done with my understanding. Something we can actually use in life.

                                      Why not step up to the plate and finally admit this to yourself.

                                      I think this applies to you more than anyone. Let me repeat the key sentence that you should take heed of...

                                      The Koran does not bring a NEW message; it brings a REPEATED message to mankind.

                                      Now you are getting it.

                                      Who ever said that the Koranic material was new...?

                                      The authors who penned it sure didn't.

                                      You are right....the Koran merely repeats what came before it...much like a parrot...

                                      The only difference is that the names have been changed.

                                      The Koran utilizes a pagan Arab god that is dressed up to look like the Biblical God Jesus.

                                      Thus, your sura 103 example perfectly demonstrates the way to Salvation via FIRST a belief in Jesus Christ, and then the deeds that FOLLOW you into Heaven.

                                      Obey the classic Arabic of sura 103.

                                      Amazing that you don't even want to talk about the sura 103 example that you brought to the table on your very own...

                                      What's the matter...? lol

                                      Islam as the God's system is not new, but is the system from the start.

                                      Islam is a poor attempt of an interpretation of their translated Biblical scriptures.

                                      We have demonstrated this to you repeatedly....and all you can do is look the other way... D

                                      The God has always sent messengers to mankind with the message. That the God is One.

                                      Please tell us why your "one god" shows a plurality at the Throne via sura 81...?

                                      Peace,

                                      The truth is universal and oft repeated. If someone asks me what is 2 + 2 and I say 4 and they ask you what is 2 + 2 and you say 4. Is there plagerism or a repeat of a basic mathematical fact.

                                      Is not the bible a repeat of the Torah and other anient wisdom? Does that make it a plagerism.

                                      Peace

                                        After all, according to you, this is a "universal truth"....

                                          No there is an issue Apple,

                                          A man was never the creator of the heavens, earth ...

                                          I often wonder what sort of illness one has that manifests itself into mentally thinking that the God would have been a man/woman/object/... and I thank God for protecting me from it.

                                          God is God the creator of all... worthy of worship only

                                          Man is a created being (Jesus, Mohammad, You, Me...)
                                          Animals are created beings ...

                                          This should be 'Life 101'.

                                          That is such an insult to the creator no matter how beloved or great we believe the created being (Jesus, Mohammad, You, Me ...).

                                          There is one God who has no associates, partners, and was not begotten and is not 3 in 1 ...

                                          I do not know what you are reading but understand if all the books including the Quran and Bible were to become so polluted that they would utter this blasphemy (and I do not believe they do), I still would not believe any man/woman is God, and that includes Jesus or any other person.

                                          I hope I have made myself absolutely clear.
