Quote (kejonn @ Aug. 11 2010,00:19)I have to chuckle — but also likewise be at least slightly disgusted — at the way in which I have seen people of the Abrahamic religions justify various parts of their holy books in modern times.

Surah 355 Behold! Allah said: “O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.

Francis,Your argument is contradictory in itself as you claim the Quran is too far away from the occurence to bear weight then you give incredible weight to a modern day Atheist historian. Secondly, Historical mentions are not Facts or evidence they are only evidence of being mentioned.There is no Orthodox Jew who would call Jesus the Messiah, In…[Read more]
