“The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He (God) decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be!’ – and it is.” - Surah 2:117

It's strange but predictable that you are completely dodging all Islamic Metaphysics and then just jumping to the false equivalence. God effaces and confirms whatever He wishes and with Him is the Mother Book. Whether We show you a part of what We promise them, or take you away [before that]...

Yes so true. In Islam, the Qur'an is from and by God, it isn't God itself. I can't believe people make comments that are that dumb :D

And that is the Logos, which is not an Islamic concept, that is a Platonic/Christian concept.

I am not speaking to your Marcionite view, I am speaking to the usual Christian and Jewish views of these texts because you are asking questions and polemicizing from a generic Christian view. I think you're being very disingenuous to the Muslims here.

I think you Christians have really dumb, stupid fallacious arguments against Islam show you to be as such.

You're using false equivalence, you are equating your Logos (which is Platonic emanationism in it's original context) with the speech of God. It's kinda like saying is the burning bush "uncreated".

Would you say that for instance, Exodus 20-24 is the "uncreated word of God", no you wouldn't. You would say that it is God revealing itself in speak through theophany.

No definitely not. This is people doing "stupid" things to themselves. People shouldn't be able to do such things to other people though, that should be a given. They have to consent on their own accord. If someone modifies their body, it's their choice to go through with it, they are their own...

Well yeah? It's really fucking stupid though, I will say very explicitly.

That's just religious belief

And because whatever somebody chooses to do to their body is not my business. As long as it's not imposed upon kids (as in adults only allowed to modify their bodies).

Because you can do what ever the fuck you want to your body.

Men are men and women are women, yeah. It's a tired discussion. Trans people have every right to exist in society but Rowling is right there.

Well yeah of course because it's written in Greek not Hebrew.

Septuagint says the exact same thing.

How do you rectify that with verses like: For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned incense in it to gods that neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. They have...

The Canaanites are far superior to the Jews IMHO, one of my favorite cosmologies and pagan pantheons.

If you think that Yahweh is so evil, then it's weird to see you taking his opinion against Baal.

It's absurd to split "God" into pieces like that (and to assign such attributes to "God")
