Koranic Heaven...

[Bowman]

This is a study dedicated to revealing exactly how the authors of the Koran used the Biblical Book of Revelation to construct the Koranic Paradise.

In this study, we will discover that paraphrased Book of Revelation Heaven material is strewn across the pages of the Koran and exactly mirrors the description contained in the Holy Bible. These paraphrased Koranic remnants, of the original, have been collected into one place for critical examination and reconstruction.

The most profound result of this study is the fact that the Koranic Paradise is built upon, and is reserved for, the followers of Jesus Christ. This is readily apparent from the construction of Heaven as it contains twelve foundations built upon Jesus’ twelve disciples; with twelve gates of entrance based upon the twelve tribes of Israel.

All this, completely lost to ignorance in what is now known as Islam…

[barnasha]

the bible and quran deal with the same subject, of course they are in accordance.

Both proclaim Jesus as God.

[barnasha]

Jesus and those who came before him expressed faith in the god of Abraham - not humans

Explain why Yahweh is described as a man upon the Throne in the OT.

[Ilah]

If he is described as a man, then how is he god?

[barnasha]

explain why there is any figurative language in the bible at all.

What kind of man has big enough feet to rest them on the planet? And how does that man breathe if his head is outside of the atmosphere? "The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool"

why did jesus say we we should kill his enemies in front of him?

why does the bible say "God is not a man", do you think that's figurative?

[Bowman]

God in the flesh.

The interpretation of scripture is determined by its context.

When the Holy Bible repeatedly describes Yahweh as a man, in literal context, then we should take heed.

[Ilah]

God in the flesh.

How do you know it's not just a man?

[Bowman]

How do you know it's not just a man?

Because the scriptures state that it is Yahweh.

[Ilah]

Because the scriptures state that it is Yahweh.

That doesn't prove that it's not just a man. It does prove that they don't actually believe in a God but rather a man whose name is Yahweh and that they believed his claim of being a God. It also explains why he was on Earth and, as he's obviously dead now, why he's no longer on Earth.

[Adrift]

Are you a theist Ilah?

Perhaps you need to reference the scriptures to which you refer.

We are discussing scriptural accounts of Yahweh upon the Throne in Heaven.

[Ilah]

Are you a theist Ilah?

I think so. Why do you ask?

Perhaps you need to reference the scriptures to which you refer.

We are discussing scriptural accounts of Yahweh upon the Throne in Heaven.

If you read Genesis 1:1, God says he created the Heavens and the Earth. The word used for Heavens, which is Shamayim, literally translates to Sky. So the Throne would be in the Sky which means on Earth. As we have not seen any throne in the sky, I think it's suffice to say that such God does not exist or the Throne.

I thought you were doing a study on how the Qur'an copies the concept of Heaven from the Bible and how apparently it's for followers of Christ only, even in the Quran.

3) Will the Old Heavens and the Old Earth pass away?
Revelation: yes (21.1)
Koran: yes (81.11)

Is this Old Heaven referring to the sky? And how can Heaven and Earth "pass away"? Would "destroyed" not be a better word or something?

I checked Verse 81:11 and all it mentions is the sky/heaven. The sky is stripped away or the heaven has its coverings removed or removed entirely or so. Nothing about Earth.
