we should just take whatever the world throws at us and not defend ourselves. God doesn't tell us that we have to be door mats.

I keep having dreams about needing to call 911 for help and I either can't find a phone that works or they will not answer me, they either answer and don't talk to me or they put me on hold or just don't answer. The dreams are never the same always different scenes, once was someone was hauling a quilt in the trunk of their car and I was tring to chase them down and they wouldn't stop, another I don't recall the exact dream and then last night someone stole my late 70's model LeMans with my purse in it and I could not find a phone that worked and the only cell phone I could find the person wouldn't let me use, this is beging to freak me out.

According to the 'so called' gospel of Judas, Jesus actually laughed, and lead a comparatively normal life! Why is this less belivable than a new testament 'picked out' by a Roman Emporer who declared himself as unifield religious leader of the world, and banned all other religions!!

some miracles of the holy quran including "numbers of word repetitions"

first i have to say that quran was revealed to prophet mohammad who couldn`t read or write 1400 years a go in arabia.<< **this part can be interesting for Christians and the Jewish :It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12 :"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.">>
the spritual and moral content and the devine beauties of the quran is so attractive that most people become muslims because of
the strong love between themselves and the one god(god of ibrahim, jesus,moses and others who is one god and has no partners or son or daughter), it is a book that when recited moves people to tears. a book that is memorised completely by millions of people
but some people are after proofs , they cant have faith easily, they are after signs
if you are like them,I want to share with you just some of the many many miracles of the quran.

WORD REPETITION IN THE QURAN

keep ind that quran is considered by arabs whether muslim or NOT as the greatest piece of arabic literature, and and it was impossible to just add or delete words in order to get these balances.

The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur'an and the word "sea" 32 times,
If we add up the total words of both "sea" and "land" we get 45 , the calculation:
32/45 X 100% = 71% = percentages of Water (Sea) in the world
13/45 X 100% = 29% = percentages of Land in the world

The statement of "seven heavens" is repeated seven times. "The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)" is also repeated seven times.

"Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month" (shahar) is 12.

The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26

The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur'an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.

When we count the word "Say," we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase "they said."

The number of times the words, "world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (akhira) are repeated is also the same: 115

The word "satan" (shaitan) is used in the Qur'an 88 times, as is the word "angels" (malaika).

The number of times the words "man" and "woman" are repeated in the Qur'an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.

The word "salawat" appear five times in the Qur'an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day

*****look at the complete list of word repetitions in the link for mathematical miracles below***

2- Embryology in the Quran link:

3-Holy Quran and The Lowest Part of the Earth
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/HTML%20DailyPrayers/The%20Holy%20Quran%20mentions%20the%20lowest%20part%20of%20the%20earth%20and%20states%20that%20it%20is%20near%20Jerusalem.htm

4-or in the qoran it is said that the universe is ever expanding which has been proven in recent years

5- it said there is cure in eating bee`s honey and it has been proven by doctors that honey has this effect

6-it said that sun and moon are rotating and it has been proven that they are rotating around their axeses

7-it is also mentioned that the earth is egg-shaped, not spherical, a fact which was recently discovered;

8-it empfesizes that God will put together in perfect order the very tips of our fingers in the day of judgement when he recreates our bodies, and recently
sientists discovered that fingerprints are unique to ones identity, yet the Holy quran empesized that 1400 years a go.
"Does man think that WE Cannot assemble his bones? Nay, WE are able to put Together in perfect order The very tips of his fingers."

http://www.harunyahya.com/miracles_of_the_quran_01.php

dont forget that qoran says that christianity and judiasm was from
god too but prophet mohammad was the last prophet for mankind ,who had the
the same message that jesus and moses and abraham and other propohets had.
and that is to worship one god without partners.

*to non-muslims: what do you say about the miracles( they are too many to be coincidenses )?
* to muslims : why do they ignore the clear facts and proofs?

here is a link to some famous scientists point of view a bout the miracles in the quran.

In this day and age we look towards science to answer our questions what’s the sun why are trees green ect. In the past legends and religion have served us in stead we had religion because of thus:
A scientific event of ununderstandable proportions would appear to be purely magic, entirely supernatural.
So we, for thousands of years, have used magic to guide us to show us what’s going on, incorrectly of course science was the real answer not magic.
Or was it?
Another thought:
A supernatural event occurring in a faithless time would appear to not to be magic but instead science.
So we, for thousands of years, may have been right after all. Perhaps since is just or perception of magic the way we see gods hand.
so my question:
In your eyes who's correct, the man who only believes what he sees is real and takes that at face value? Or the man believes what he feels and takes everything as an act of god?
