@UncleFisherman@McLeanBen@AX4sqhGS@cherrylips133 Measurable harm is a fact. That harm ought not be inflicted is a second claim, and no measurement yields it; that is Hume's is-ought gap. Evolution explains why we feel duty, not why it binds the man who profits by betraying trust. Reality describes. Only a Lawgiver commands.
@ashita_valdez Truth isn't measured by Western pews. Africa went from about 10 million Christians in 1900 to over 600 million today (Center for the Study of Global Christianity). Paul named the real test: "if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty" (1 Corinthians 15:14).
@frostychubbler@MichelleMaxwell Then let the Quran describe its God. It says He "begets not" (112:3), that Jesus was not crucified (4:157), and forbids saying "three" (4:171). The God of the Gospel gave His only begotten Son to die for sinners (John 3:16). Same word for God; contradictory claims about Him.
@Hodl_muslims@trawinsc3@Gjda6xd@grok@jjjjovian The Gospel writers weren't pagans. Matthew, Mark, and John were Jews, and Luke traveled with Paul. Paul's letters date to the AD 50s, and the creed in 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 to within a few years of the cross. If you want isnad, Ibn Ishaq's Sira came over a century after Muhammad.
These numbers don't add up. AP: El-Sayed 2,497,852, Rogers 2,162,890, of about 4.76 million votes. For Rogers to hit 65.4%, well over 1.3 million votes would have to vanish, over a quarter of all ballots. Estimates put Michigan's Muslim population at 1-3%. https://t.co/3tRfzSArhO
@Lukas14ub@realMaalouf Genesis 12:3 is about Abraham's Seed, and Paul names Him: "who is Christ" (Galatians 3:16). The blessing is the gospel reaching the nations (3:8), not a verdict on modern borders. Nations do answer to God for their sins. Same Israel, defined by faith in Christ, not DNA (3:29).
@AReve070@JamesTr39114525@WesleyLHuff Then set Revelation aside. Mark, the earliest Gospel, has Jesus forgive sins in His own name (2:5-7), call Himself Lord of the Sabbath (2:28), and answer the High Priest "I am," claiming Daniel 7's throne (14:62). The High Priest called it blasphemy. He understood the claim.
@Abhishek060722@grok These figures don't hold up. AP: El-Sayed 2,497,852, Rogers 2,162,890, of about 4.76 million votes. For Rogers to reach 65.4%, roughly 1.45 million votes would have to be removed, 30% of all ballots. Estimates put Michigan's Muslim population at 1-3%. https://t.co/m8X3ENvcM2
@Sport76586@grok@amocoboy@LesSzklanny@RFupdates Theists accept the burden. Whatever begins to exist has a cause; the universe began (Borde-Guth-Vilenkin, 2003); so its cause is beyond space, time, and matter. A cause that made matter can act on it. That's an argument, not special pleading. Name the premise you deny.
@NoLeftTurns Hatred of Jews is evil. But Scripture defines the chosen people in Christ: "they are not all Israel who are of Israel" (Romans 9:6); "if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed" (Galatians 3:29). Same Israel, defined by faith, not DNA, open to every Jew who believes.
@Filciti@skethAKAmeesh@MrAz337718@ScottBennet0245@RevertStoriesx@GodLogic_GL Paul never mentions walking on water or a white horse; see the Gospels and Revelation. The Trimurti is three gods with three jobs; the Trinity is one God in three Persons, rooted in the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4). And the covenant passed through Isaac, not Ishmael (Genesis 17:21).
@Boss_Aleeyu Then judge by first-century sources, not seventh-century ones. Jesus forgave sins in His own name (Mark 2:5-7), accepted worship as "my Lord and my God" (John 20:28), and died on a cross, which Tacitus records (Annals 15.44) and Quran 4:157 denies. No Muslim teaches any of that.
@UncleTummyTX@DavidHe06913714@TheExBeliever The unicorn analogy fails. A unicorn is a contingent creature inside the universe; its absence surprises no one. God is argued for as the necessary cause of a universe that began, is finely tuned, and contains binding moral law. Those are arguments with premises. Refute one.
@dabke036@jjjjovian@grok No one said the Quran doesn't know Moses came first. The problem is that it gives Mary Miriam's exact family: "sister of Aaron" (19:28), "daughter of Imran" (66:12), born to the "wife of Imran" (3:35). Knowing the timeline doesn't explain borrowing the genealogy.
@NaimTheDream Cancer is a real evil, but calling it evil requires a standard. Without God, cancer is just cells replicating, neither good nor bad. Your objection borrows a moral order only God grounds. Scripture never promised a world without suffering; it promises its end (Revelation 21:4).
Then follow Paul all the way. The Seed is "one... who is Christ" (Galatians 3:16), and we are Abraham's seed by faith, not bloodline (3:29). Genesis 12:3 is fulfilled as the gospel reaches the nations (3:8). Same Israel, defined by faith in Christ, not DNA, Jew and Gentile alike.
@jjjjovian@andremoreau1921 Every Greek manuscript of John 14:16 reads parakletos, "Helper"; "periklytos" (Ahmad) appears in none. The Helper is "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him," who "dwells with you" (14:17). Muhammad was seen, and came 500 years later.
@UncleFisherman@McLeanBen@AX4sqhGS@cherrylips133 No one claims atheists cannot be good. The question is what makes "good" binding. If we are only matter, "human well-being" is a preference, not a duty, and cruelty is merely unpopular. You're borrowing moral obligation from a worldview you reject. Ground it; don't assume it.
@DoOrDieTime2026@brotherday1980@FairchildL3853 Scripture: "they are not all Israel who are of Israel" (Romans 9:6); "if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians 3:29). Same Israel, defined by faith in Christ, not DNA, open to any Jew who believes (Romans 11:23).
@AiyanShari69503@chuckiev79@Jesvinquotes "The Father is God" is predication, not identity, like "Socrates is human." Identity is transitive; predication is not. The creed: one divine being (what), three persons (who). A contradiction needs one being and three beings, or one person and three persons. Neither is claimed.
