Why can't you guy defend those verses up there and proof him wrong. Truth they say is bitter. Someone proof some reasonable verses from the book you believe in so much, Instead of you to defend and proof him wrong all you do is typing nonsense here.

@ Lagoshia to back up those verses here is another praying in Jamat

Nehemiah 8:4-6:

4And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

5And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people and when he opened it, all the people stood up:

6And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

I wonder why a muslim,who is supposedly on the 'right path' bother about people that have missed the plot?

Lets focus on the tradgedy at karbala at this time when Imam Al-Hussain (AS) was murdered in cold blood by the sunnis.

Innalai. .

i wonder why muslims struggle too had to find islam in the bible.

^^ The same way christian struggle so hard to find Christianity in the bible. if there is anywhere in bible that Christianity was mention in the bible show me.

^^^

But we definitely do not look for it in the Quran

Among all the Muslim in NL, u and @uplawal are the funniest, How will u say no contradiction in a book that made copy of the Jewish history and also copied from the bible itself? Isnt that the reason why the koran is so much errornic? when u copy from different angle, u must arrive at a confussing conclusion, that was exactly what Mohamed did, i wouldn't doubt if the Koran is in the bible becos the kuran made copy os the Old testament practice. I ve to do like my gran dad, but in a very modern way!

He may be a new convert or so, his replies shows, that man/boy no know wetin Mohamed write inside the kuran

lets start with this - Surah 1919:70) then We know very well which of them deserves most to be thrown into Hell?
(19:71) And there is none of you who will not be presented before the confines of Hell *44 , for this is a settled ,decree, which your Lord will bring in force; (19:72) then We will deliver those who were pious (in the world), and will leave the transgressors there on their knees.

Are you going to hell or not?

when you are done with lies, You will know you are fooling yourself

Quran 19:70 Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.

Quran 19:71 And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.



Quran 19:44 O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.

Quran 19:72 Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.


so Mr Davidylan, Tell where is the contradiction in this?

So clearly you are going to hell by a decree from allah right?

^ David, did you read the 72 at all? You are the biggest fool here am sorry to say,

in 70 Allah says it is Him who know most of Those that worthy burning in hell (someone like you)
71 And there is none of you (disbeliever) except you will surely come to it.
72 Then we will save those who fear Allah (We the believers) and leave wrongdoers (you) within it on your knees

Allah is always great

Allah is always great

verse 72 says you "will" be saved from hell (indicating you will be going down to it FIRST as clearly indicated by verse 71) if you fear allah. Well we dont know how long it may take to determine if you feared allah . . . but are you in agreement that you will be going to hell no matter even if it is for 2 secs? 

allah is indeed great.

^^ Am very sure you having problem with you reading/understand faculty LOL i have explain every bit of it to you.

you seem to be confused here dude. If verse 71 claims that only disbelievers will be going into hell as you allude . . . then who are the "we the believers" who will THEN BE SAVED in verse 72? The latter part of verse 72 says the wrongdoers will be LEFT WITHIN IT, indicating some part is taken out and some part left behind abi?

^^^ Ok David i think you need a help here. Am gonna try as much as i can to help you understand.

[b]Qurqn 19:65 Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"
66 And the disbeliever says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"
67 Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?
68 So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.
69 Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.
70 Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.
71 And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.
72 Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.
73 And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"
74 And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?
75 Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."[/b]


So read all and tell me what you dont understanf

davidylan:

^Indeed. . .probably because the Qur'an has no leg to stand on, and finds the crutches provided by the hadiths fragile and untrustworthy.

did you read my riposte to you at all? Are you so afraid of hell? Your "lord" has decreed that you are going there. pele

^^ My God is not referring to me. He is referring to you and the like of poster above you.

@aletheia its been a while

@bashy_demy, u wanted some koran contradictions, there are alot and Muslim scholars finds it difficult to understand why these errors are in place. U ve failed to help @David to arrive at a point. But that wont stop me from giving u wat u requested for, Plz correct ur Koran or History books. How did Mohamed come manage to come up wit the below??

How true is the story of Abraham and the Ka’bah in the koran?
 
your Koran wrote that, Abraham and his son Ishmael were the ones who built the Ka’bah in Mecca (Sura 2:127).  
Are u aware of hw contradicting this is to all history books known?:

Again in the koran, In Sura 18:83-97, it says of the adventures of a man named “Dhu’l-Qarneyn,”a title that means “Two-Horned.”If we read furthermore, it wrote that Dhu’l-Qarneyn which is (ALEXENDER THE GREAT) lived to a ripe old age. Will u agree with this riped old age koran story? is this not contradiction of history and error of the koran?

Yeah Yeah Yeah,
I do know that you muslims attempt to worship god
I do know that some of what you guys do is in the bible
You claim you believe The Bibe is also God's word
BUT The bible also says anything without scales nd fins is UNCLEAN for you but you muslims ignore that nd just decide to ignore pork only

Thats how iknow islam is nothing but a watered down version of the bible.PLagarism
Important facts taken out nd replaced with lies and garble that dont make sense

Smoking nko??Is that not defiling your temple?You muslims choose to ignore that!!!

How can you muslims claim God is Allah?
The God of Israel nko??!That predates Islam
Hebrew was the first language on earth not no arabic.
The Quran came 600 years after christs resurection
How are you going 2 tell me the quran is true.
You muslims claim God is impartial,but the Quran itself tells you the Children of israel have favour bestowed upon,wats that supposed 2 mean
The bible tells you God is and only deals wit the ISRELITES so that cuts Mohammed in half.
kmt!

no way is the quran the truth,the bible exposes all your lies

Well no one ever say Bible is word of God or not. But can any christian come and tell me Bible was written and is in exixtense during the life of Jesus. We all know that bible was written by some 40men, So they bring but the truth and lies together.

Zephaniah 3:9:

9For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

Now tell me wish religion in the world pray to God in one Laguage? and also you said Hebrew is the first Language but God never say first Language here. He is talking about end time, I think you need alot to learn about Islam
