Quote:First off, christians do not have a new god, there is only one God, and He has not been downgraded. Jesus is accorded the same respect by christians as Mohammed by muslims. It may seem different from the outside, but it isn't. Two thousand years ago there was no TV,radio or internet. God/Allah chose to give His word to the world through two means, Mohammed and Jesus, so that His word might spread throughout the world.
That's an unusual response. Rare and good. Sound's like there is some light in your heart. The christians and the bible both say Jesus is the son of God, one of three. Father, son and holy ghost. And when pressed both the bible and christians say he is God.
Quote:I have yet to see a Bible where God is referred to in the lower case (Him, His, He, God).If you have seen it anywhere, it is mostly likely a typo, or just poor literacy.
Here is the <b>KJV</b> and the <b>NAB</b>
KJV
Luke 1:50 And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
NAB
Luke 1:50 His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.
Luke 12:5 I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.
