Re: What about the paraklete?
I do and they have very adequate explanations for all that we are discussing. It is you that fails to make any sense at all.
Of course the Koran is not directly referred to by name in the Koran, but the reference is clearly to the source of the scripture that makes up the Koran. The (Quran) in the translation gives reference to the scripture that makes up the Quran.
The 'Bible' is not referred to, mentioned or described in the Bible, and, of course, no where in the Bible is it referred to as divinely inspired Book. If you think this fact is in the Bible show me. There may be references to divinely inspired scripture, but nowhere does it refers to what that scripture consists of. The only possibility I can come up with is the Laws given by God to Moses.Last edited by shunyadragon; January 2nd 2011 at 10:47 PM.

Re: What about the paraklete?
Then bring forth their material, if you are honest.

Not even close.
Try again.

And he says to me, Write: Blessed are the ones having been called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These Words of God are true. (Rev 19.9)
And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride, having been adorned for her Husband. And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God with men! And He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no longer, nor mourning, nor outcry, nor will there be pain any more; for the first things passed away. And the One sitting on the throne said, Behold! I make all things new. And He says to me, Write, because these Words are faithful and true. (Rev 21.2 – 5)
And I, John, was the one seeing and hearing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things. (Rev 22.8)
The bulk of the Koranic material is taken directly from the Book of Revelation – of which, this Biblical material is clearly signed by John, as both seeing and hearing Jesus’ divine Revelation and writing it down.
John was directly inspired to write down the Words of God.
Further, if you have ever read the Book of Revelation it is a summary of the Biblical books that came Before it.
Now…
According to the followers of Islam, their “prophet Muhammad” was responsible for the written text which comprises their Koran.
If this is the case, then where in all of the Koran is anything like the following written…
“I, Muhammad, wrote this here Koran”
Or…
“I, Muhammad, dictated this here Koran”
Or…
“I, Muhammad, was inspired by an angel”
Or…
“I, Muhammad, was divinely inspired”
Fact is, the Koran never once mentions who wrote the text, or that it was divinely inspired.
Not once.
What it does claim, however, is that it merely copied and translated the previous inspired Jewish and Christian scriptures into Arabic.

Re: What about the paraklete?
I did that and you are ignoring it.
Honest?!?!?
You lack any ethics and honesty at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are totally blinded by your cling to an ancient controted view.
Not even close.Not even close. try again.
Try again.
Does not say what words this quote refers to. Not even close. try again.And he says to me, Write: Blessed are the ones having been called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These Words of God are true. (Rev 19.9)
Makes no reference to what scripture may be called inspired or divine. Not even close. Try again.
And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride, having been adorned for her Husband. And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God with men! And He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no longer, nor mourning, nor outcry, nor will there be pain any more; for the first things passed away. And the One sitting on the throne said, Behold! I make all things new. And He says to me, Write, because these Words are faithful and true. (Rev 21.2 – 5)
Showed what?!?!?! Not even close try again. the book of Revelation is a vision of many, many interpretations, and it is not clear at all what is referred to in these passagesAnd I, John, was the one seeing and hearing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things. (Rev 22.8)
Foolish claim with nothing to support it.The bulk of the Koranic material is taken directly from the Book of Revelation – of which, this Biblical material is clearly signed by John, as both seeing and hearing Jesus’ divine Revelation and writing it down.
It would not make any difference whether John was inspired or not. There is no indication in the book of Revelation what he was referring to only many, many different interpretations of of the vision in the Book of Revelation..John was directly inspired to write down the Words of God.
A v e r y l o n g s t r e t c h of your imagination. There is nothing of the sort in the Book of Revelation.Further, if you have ever read the Book of Revelation it is a summary of the Biblical books that came Before it.
Now . . . False and delusional BIG TIME!!!!!!According to the followers of Islam, their “prophet Muhammad” was responsible for the written text which comprises their Koran.
Already gave the citations and the web site you may read, and I confirmed the interpretations with my Muslim friends.If this is the case, then where in all of the Koran is anything like the following written…
Foolishness[“I, Muhammad, wrote this here Koran”
Or…
“I, Muhammad, dictated this here Koran”
More foolishnessOr…
“I, Muhammad, was inspired by an angel”
Or…
“I, Muhammad, was divinely inspired”
FALSEFact is, the Koran never once mentions who wrote the text, or that it was divinely inspired.
Not once.
Claims nothing of the sort, foolish and dilusional.What it does claim, however, is that it merely copied and translated the previous inspired Jewish and Christian scriptures into Arabic.
I gave the references confirmed by my Muslim friends. You are just ignoring them.Last edited by shunyadragon; January 3rd 2011 at 06:13 PM.

Re: What about the paraklete?
Your imaginary worldview based on ancient myth controls everything you believe. My friends are not imaginary.
One problem is you made some heavy claims as to what Muslims believe concerning Muhammad and the Koran, and you failed to provide any sources whatsoever to back it up. Your sources must be imaginary if you cannot back them up.
Your anal attentive preoccupation with literacy makes you illiterate.Go with the flow the river knows.

Re: What about the paraklete?
The Bai-hai faith does not have any scriptures of its own.
It can only comment on others' scriptures.
Yes, they are.My friends are not imaginary.
What Muslims believe and what their book of faith states, are two entirely different things.One problem is you made some heavy claims as to what Muslims believe concerning Muhammad and the Koran, and you failed to provide any sources whatsoever to back it up. Your sources must be imaginary if you cannot back them up.
About what we would expect from a follower of ba-hai...Your anal attentive preoccupation with literacy makes you illiterate.

Re: What about the paraklete?
Your willful ignorance is not bliss
Prove it. I will cite them directly shortlyYes, they are.
You, my friend, made claims about what Muslims believe concerning Muhammad and the Koran which you cannot back up.What Muslims believe and what their book of faith states, are two entirely different things.
Trolling gets you nowhere. It only reveals your inability to backup your assertions..About what we would expect from a follower of ba-hai...Go with the flow the river knows.

Re: What about the paraklete?
Bring your friends, you still have made claims you cannot back up. You made loose quotes from the Bible to support your argument but never responded to my points nor backed up your claims. Everything you claimed is a problem with the Koran is more so with the Bible.
I will start a new thread on this topic with sources, including personal friends who understand the Koran in Arabic. Basically you only come back with snide trollish remarks and never support your assertions with scholarly Islamic sources.Go with the flow the river knows.
