My only comment would be, after reading 6 pages of this thread, why on earth did ATS decide to include Religious discussion on this board???? It will never lead to any meaningful discussion and can only lead to dissent. I believe the powers that be at ATS are most unwise if they let this continue. Nothing worthwhile comes of these threads; Ever! Its just a playground for hateful, hurtful people to apply their craft.

Maybe if you had bothered to read or reply to my earlier post you would've learned that "Allah" only means "God", in Arabic and that this "Allah" is the same God as the Christian one.

Can you refresh my memory of why you believe the Allah is connected to Satan?
God — The Koran asserts that the god of Islam is the God of Christians and Jews (Sura 29:46). Nothing could be farther from the truth.7
The god of Islam, Allah, is most definitely not the God of the Bible. Allah is presented in the Koran as an autocratic ruler who is aloof and arbitrary (Sura 5:40). Allah is unknowable whereas the God of the Bible is knowable (2 Timothy 1:12). Allah is impersonal, unlike the personal God the Scriptures reveal (1 Peter 5:6-7). Allah is unitarian (Sura 4:48) whereas the God of the Bible is trinitarian (2 Corinthians 13:14). Here is what the Koran says about the God of the Bible (Sura 4:171): “Believe in Allah and say not ‘Trinity.’ Cease! It is better for you! Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son.” www.apologeticsindex.org...

Ever read the Koran, Helios? I can give you a link, if you like.
In the meantime, I suggest you educate yourself about Middle Eastern Christianity. The Syrian church doesn't interrupt their Arabic service to satisfy you with a hearty Bible-belt rendition of "Gawd thah AwwwwMIGHTY!"

The issue is, if Enlil was a pagan god, what's with the oldest texts on earth attributing him with the exploits of Jehovah?

GOD predates time itself. Perhaps it is his exploits that were written down before the tower of baable fell. Perhaps even from before the floor..........perhaps even after the 6th day of creation.............before the seen of adam began.................

Their version is the one where Jehovah made man in his image and the version of the rulers of the time was where they made man in their image (which I theorize was not a creation event at all but a stargate event that culminated in human enslavement on this planet). Trouble is differentiating the two since they both seem to have so much in common with each other. Enki, for example, really seems like he fits the bill of the biblical satan.

There is much we don't know about the preflood earth. Man was enslaved to the extent that mankind was poluted with the seed of fallen angels. The earth became an abomination to GOD. In my personal "fantasy theory" all the mythilogical (gods) such as apollo, etc were hybrids of fallen angels. Pan and all the half animal/man "things" were real genetic abominations, not unlike what is happening today. Growing human ears on mice and such.
All the imagination of man can not begin to match the true and real world/universe out there in GOD's domain. Science fiction can't begin to match science fact.
The entire purpose of satan to to decieve man into having doubts about the true GOD. Through things like the koran, and budda, and other fakes........

Im simply asking how God is personal.(from what you said)
anyways...the trinity...i was simply saying how Christian viewpoints on it are inconsistent.That bothers me because I cant understand who is right.
(again going back to me having to read the bbile myself I guess)
if you could elaborate on what you meant by "the god of the bible is...." statements I would really appreciate it.
