There is no statue of God. That would be idolatry. And it would be impossible. There is no such thing as a moon god. That is imaginary.
Psalms 22 is a song. Or a prayer for someone in sorrow or despair. Attributed to David. How is Jesus quoting from this a detailed prophesy of Jesus's crucifixion? To go along further in the same psalm:
* "In you our fathers put their trust" (did Jesus have any fathers?)
* "From my mother's womb you have been my God" (I thought Jesus existed before that? And how can God be God's God?)
* And where are these bulls of Bashan(?), and dogs and lions in the Jesus story?

At the point Jesus spoke these words he bore the sins of the whole world in his body.God cannot have personal contact with sin so he had to turn away from Jesus while he paid the penalty for our sins. Jesus was both undiminished deity and perfect humanity. But it was the physical body which was the sacrifice for sin.
So then Jesus was not God at this point? Who was the body that was saying all these things? And more importantly, where in the Bible is this explanation that you give me? Or was that man's addition to God's word?

I don't know too much about the bible and am not in the mood for searching for quotes that show a similar light to these from Islam so I am going to use a list from a response to Dr. Laura that caught my attention a few years back.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord -- Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus
21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual uncleanliness -- Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I
tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female,
provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine
claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
Why can't I own Canadians?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. The
passage clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to
kill him myself?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I
don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there "degrees" of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my
vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around
their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How
should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments madeof two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of
getting the whole town together to stone them? -- Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we
just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

So although a bit off topic the point remains, the critique of Islam, to a point, is one that can be leveled at many if not all Religions.
Women in the USA were not all allowed to vote until 1920. I am sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to debate how equal women are to men today in the USA.
Yes Islam has some scary people in their mists, but I know a few and they have all been good people, who did NOT try to smite me for being a Pagan, treated my wife with respect, and basically dismissed all the crap you seem to thing is part of every Muslim in the world.

You are not supposed to link to that image directly. It is forbidden like that. But I went to the site and saw it anyway. So just because they decided to name a statute 'Allah', I believe them? Sorry, no. Especially not from a site that also thinks that the earth doesn't rotate or move.
And okay, how does quoting that one sentence from the Psalms fulfil any prophesy? If I'm being chased by a group of bulls, and I say "Many bulls surround me!", am I also fulfilling some prophesy in Psams 22?
And sure, it says that in the Bible that Christ died to wash away the sins of mankind, but it has nothing about "And this second he was God in man, and in this second God ran away and he was man only, and this second he died".
Oh yeah....please refrain from the personal attacks. I'm sure you're mature enough for that.

I said Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit is ONE. They appear as 3, but are ONE.
1. The Holy Koran was written AFTER the Bible was created. And so were many other religious books. The Koran is a copy of the Bible, except it is changed to be more violent.
2. What does the Koran say about the last days?? You know, everything in the Book of Revelations that is in the Bible, is happening... What does the Koran say about the Last Days??
The Bible speaks of an Anti Christ that will rule the world, and have everyone receive a Mark on their right hand or forehead... It says that great famine, wars and diseases like never before will come.. It says 1/3 of the trees will be wiped out, and other stuff like that.. All of it is happening... What does the Koran say about the Last Days??

Actually you Moron, the Quran was revealed to prophet Mohammed (pbuh) in a cave outside Mekkah. prophet Mohammed didn't know how to read and write so he would go to his companions and recite what was brought to him by Gabriel and his companions wrote it down.
Considering that the Quran, Torah and Bible were all revealed by GOD, they would have the same basic principles Right?
so why would it be More Violent??? Islam means peace so why would God Make it more Violent

Actually the Quran does speak about the end days but that is too much info to post here.
So why don't you go and actually for a change research instead of talking out of your ass.

I believe that the Koran was a hodgepodge of several different texts that several different people tried to explain to him...and that he obviously had little or no understanding of.
The "new information" in the koran? Talking ants, people being turned into apes, sun setting in a pool of muddy water, sun waiting under a chair for permission to rise again, sperm coming from the backbone and ribs, gross math errors in rules dealing with inheritance, and 1 out of every 55 verses dealing with hatred, violence and waging war on Jews and Christians? I'd say that these were all uniquely Mohammed's.
PLEASE don't attempt the "there's only one version of the koran and it hasn't changed in 1400 years not even to a dot" propaganda. It only takes a minute or two with google to show that there are MANY different VERSIONS of the koran in Arabic. Now you could say the same on the Bible, unless its the King James version. That is the most accurate version of the Bible, that hasnt been changed. It has been attempted by the devil to add the "Apocrypha" in between the Old & New Testament. But failed. Like I said, the Bible is the ONLY word of God.
