3)yep history concludes that the authors of the quaran plagerized the bible and took some from it then added to it. I seriously doubt i will go down in flame for some plagerized non sense. the book is just as inspired as the book of mormons who plagerized parts of the bible then added a new concept into it. History supports it.

1) Acts 17:23
New Living Translation (©2007)
for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: 'To an Unknown God.' This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I'm telling you about.

2) See 1), and hmm, yet YHWH divorced His "daughters." Better reload.

3) Ah, we're back to the beginning of the circle now. When you can address my previous answer to this w/o just reiterating, I will answer your answer. Please provide which plagiarization you will be referring to.
I ended up being really mean yesterday here, I guess (sorry Falla); I'm trying to be "nice" today. Have a blessed day.

greeks had many gods they worshiped, Paul also talked about their ignorance.
He used the idol that was dedicated to the unkown god, as a foot in the Door to proclaim the real God YHWH.

and of course YHWH divorced his israel. he did not have daughters like the meccan god allah who had 3 daughters.

one can see the metaphor as Israel prostituted themselves out to fake gods.

yes this forum can make you angry. I am just recently back after probably a year brake or so

Well, I hate to upset Randy more over this,
but our current hit movie, The Avengers,
has most all of those Greek gods in it,
now being offered for worship by your children,
with a nice healthy dose of Righteous Vengeance,
our fave subject, thrown in.

I think a bit more investigation into the Muslim
interpretation of the Name Allah might reveal
more truth, as the Qur'an insists Allah is One-
-but I am ignorant there. I am fairly confident
in saying "different Allah," because as you note,
the Name was generic, at least at one time,
just like "God."

Really, I am completely detached now
from my posts, as well as any replies;
I encourage any to shred anything I post-
-I will not be offended.

I personally find the general feeling toward
Muslims in the US reflected in my feelings
about the Catholic church. I was raised in the South,
and growing up, they were satan's minions here on earth,
as far as I knew. Then I met some Catholics.
Then I read some Catholic...mysticism? it is prolly termed.
Yikes. Powerful stuff.

Now I volunteer at Catholic Charities because,
as anyone in the US may note, if one is broke,
homeless, friendless, and in trouble, it is a
Catholic door that is open.

No offense meant, but just try running down to the nearest
Apo/Pent church with your problem (not you, personally),
and see what happens. Try calling them on the phone.
Try another across town. Try calling a Baptist, Charismatic
yadayada...you might get a hit with some Methodist church.
But you might not.
