What makes you think mytym fears the existence of God.
Hasn't he stated previously that He has no problem with the existence of God?
Fear and ignorance...Our oppressive allies

Sun Matrix, thanks for the laughs.
I'm just glad I can sit back and laugh without getting frustrated by arguing with you. It truly tickles me that people can rip off an earlier religion and say the original is wrong and they are right.

It's not that I fear God is real, it's that I fear he may not be that is the real worry. This may not seem like a significant statement to the layperson, but to those of faith, the significance should be quite evident.
Excuse me, while I complete another victory lap.

Another thing I dont understand is that why is the cross, a symbol of death, taken as a symbol for the faith ? What would have happened if Christ was nailed on a circle or a just staked on a big pole in the ground ? Would these become our symbols ? They say it was Christ's sacrifice okay I get that then why not take some other form of his sacrifice ? Because to claim the cross would also mean the thousands upon thousands of other including criminals, slaves etc who were also crucified as people of his order. The symbol just seems to be against what he taught, compassion, love etc. Also I would think that his teaching reflect more on the value of life than death and thus the cross is not a good example.
Also these days, in the christian faith with the advent of these evangelists and others, its become into some pagan worship with all these claims of miracles etc and people actually worshipping the planks of wood at the altar rather than what they are supposed to.

The very existence of different versions of the Bible is proof that it is ambiguous, thus requires opinions to interpret. As I have already explained several times, opinions and facts are not compatible. The only choice is to believe the interpretation, not the truth. It is my opinion that you don't understand this.
suppose you are asked to construct a genealogy of real people, but there are certain constraints. the number of words in this genealogy must:
beenly divisible by seven (with no remainders)
the number of letters must be divisible by seven
the number of vowels and consonants must be divisible by seven
the number of words that begin with a vowel must be divisible by seven
the number of words that begin with a consonant must be divisible by seven
the number of words that occur more than once, must be divisible by seven
the number of words that occur in more than one form must be divisible by seven
the number of words that occur only in one form must be divisible by seven
the number of names in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
the number of male names must be divisible by seven
and the number of generations in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
would it not be next to impossible to draw up such a genealogy? yet this describes exactly the genealogy of the messiah as given in the gospel of matthew 1 :2-17.
a hidden code encrypted in the hebrew lettering of the pentateuch, which is the name for the first five books of the old testament.
these are written originally in hebrew. if you take the first hebrew letter in genesis, skip 49 and take the next letter, and repeat the skip sequence, then every four letters spells torh (the Hebrew word pronounced 'torah', meaning 'the law of god').
this holds all the way through the first two books of the bible, genesis and exodus. when you get to the middle book of the five, leviticus, it stops. however, when you do the same skip sequence for deuteronomy and the book of numbers, it spells hrot, which is torh backwards.
go back now to the middle book of the five, leviticus, use the skip sequence again this time skipping every SEVEN letters, and it spells YHWH (pronounced YAWEH). which is the hebrew name for god!
so we have every 49 letters in genesis and exodus spelling 'the law of god' and pointing to leviticus, and every 49 letters of deuteronomy and numbers spelling 'the law of god' backwards and pointing to leviticus. every seven letters in this book spells YAWH; god himself.
Genesis Leviticus Deuterony
Torh->Torh->Torh-> YAWH

Prove it. Show us your sources in Islam that claims this.

No, you prove it so you will learn something.
Check into the history of Allah. You will find Allah is the false moon god.
People were traveling and praying to Mecca long before Mohammed was born.
The info is there if you want the truth.
Take 5 minutes and find out what really took place at the Council of Nicea. It had nothing to do with the Bible.
A simple web seach should reveal the truth.

In defense of the other poster, I will reply for them. I would suggest you look into the "Nicene Creed" and the "Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed." You will see that there had been more than one council of Nicea, and within each of this councils, they adopted a Trinitarian belief as the main doctrine of Christianity. Articles such as the 'Filioque clause' were added to the creed to unify all of Christianity as Trinitarians. If you want to read more on edits to the Bible teachings to support the Trinitarian belief, I would recomend you research the "John's Comma" also known as "Comma Johanneum."

And what will I find if I follow your suggestion? Will I find that I was wrong about Constantine being responsible for chosing the books of the Bible. No Constantine had nothing to do with choosing the books of the Bible.
You defense of the other poster is left wanting.

Exactly where in my previous reply did I mention Constantine? Once again, you're spreading ignorance and losing credibility.
If you look at the suggestions, you will see the the Nicean Council DID infact change the interpretations of the Bible, and John's Comma DID infact change the Bible's text.

Sorry bub, the Catholic Bible is not the same as the true Bible. The Catholics rarely use their Bible. The books of the Bible were chosen long before 325 AD. There is a complete text dating to 125 AD.

I've seen people reply to your topics with actual evidence, but when it comes to your replies, it seems to be either personal opinions or you ask for others to prove what you said, considering they were the ones giving evidence proving the contrary.
