My apologies to Betti for borrowing her idea but taking it in another direction. Seriously, if you are a Muslim, can you appreciate Christian art? Christians, what about Hindu or Buddhist carvings, or the poetry of India? Or the Kama Sutra for that matter! :-)

Deut 6:4 says there is ONE JEHOVAH. (Jehovah our God is one Jehovah) Not Three.
Trinitarians say that the word “One’ here which is echad which means according to them is “compound unit of oneness”. Then Trinitarians say that if God is only one person, Deut 6:4 should have used the word “yachid” which means united, sole. See Judges 11:34

Because it uses the word “echad”, according to Trinitarians, then God can be composed of three persons.

The Bible disagrees with the Trinitarians’ reasoning about Deut 6:4.

Why?

Strong’s dictionary defines echad as united one, alone, one, only.

Ecc 4:9 (“Two are better than one (echad)”) basically says that echad is one. Not two, not three, but one.

What does the context in Deut 6 states about God? IS God one person or three persons?

The idea of heaven and hell was not introduced into Judaism until late in its development. Even at the time of Jesus, according to the gospels the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. From my understanding Christian doctrine was heavily influenced by the writings of Plato, from the Hellenistic Greeks. Did this influence also come into play in the development of Jewish doctrine? This is a serious question.

I don’t believe a word of it. God would not do that and the only people who think he would are fundamentalist Christians who are virtually no different from the Taliban if they had their way.
Any god that plays a cruel game for thousands of years in that one must believe what some ancient person wrote (who knew nothing of how the world works) and if they do not they will go to eternal damnation.
Who would want to be in ‘heaven’ with such a cruel being?

Ok im totally truely serious about this,
Im kind of different from alot of people, i can hear things better then the average person, i can see better then the average person, and sometimes i get this REALLY horrible feeling in my stomach when something bad is about to happen....
I can see like a cat in the dark, i can see just as clear as in the day, i mean not like details but i can see movements that animals and people make down the road that is nearly impossible to see. I can also hear REALLY good, its like i can hear a pen or pencil drop that is all the way across the house. and no one believes me, when it is dead seriously true. One day I was outside by myself and i started to get a weird feeling in my stomach and when i stopped walking i heard footsteps that were REALLY far away but i could hear them really clearly.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Come on, it's just a "theory" right?
So do you believe in quantum mechanics?
Did you know that unlike evolution, quatum mechanics are very applicable and are used in television, computers, microwaves, CD's and DVD's?

If Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel were the first people on earth, then when Cain killed Abel, Cain went to Nod, and had sexual relations with his wife.....and had kids....And Seth (Adam and Eve's other son) had kids with his wife....How can that be when Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel where the first, and only people on earth??? Am I missing something here?

Thanks everyone!

I know the bible says you shouldn't. So don't give me that answer.

What I'm asking, religious history/theology buffs, is why Hebrew law specifically would have outlawed this, when it had been common amongst tribal and other organized religions? One of the most common themes amongst mythology is petitioning god or the powers that be for information about the future.

Any theories? Opinions?

It seems even the most hardcore Muslims can see that it is obviously not the same God...Muslims use the excuse that the word of Allah was corrupted but this is extreme that the God who created everything and is righteous and true could not protect his word but is made a liar for 4000 years and suddenly now is capable of giving the truth...either God's word is worthy or it is not...It cant be unworthy for 4000 years and suddenly is worthy now...Allah has demonstrated he cant keep his word therefore any written word from Allah is not trustworthy... Allah cant be saying, I know I lied and deceived you 4000 years but I promise not to do that again and expect anyone to listen...Muhammad did not teach this... He didnt know his word did not agree with God. It is why he calls the true word of God guidance and light and he says to agree with the people of the book your God is my God...It is why he wrote 6:15 which says the Bible is his word and it cant be changed.
