Quote:Bismillah:
Miracle is not the test at all whether this preacher is truthful or not. Have you heard of John the Baptist? Jesus said about him in the Book of Mathew 11:11 <b>“Verily I say to you, there hath not risen among those born of women
, a greater than John the Baptist
”</b> .and yet <b>he performed no miracles</b>... did he? show me what he did!! But that doesn’t mean that he was not a man of God.
Now, if God decided to take a dog’s form (<b>Asstaghfurullah</b>)… what will this dog show you/preach for you to follow him as the <b>representative of God or God incarnate</b>?
i hope to get a real and <b>straight answer</b>.

Can the Lord not come in animal forms?
[The Puranas mention the forms of a fish (Matsya), tortoise (Kurma) etc. that the Lord took and came to earth.] Matsya, etc. are the forms in which the Lord came temporarily to destroy demons. Such forms were not worshipped because they did not live along with human beings like Rama and Krishna [human incarnations]. Such animal forms could not preach the divine knowledge.
In this world, God enters animals etc. also but they are not for preaching. They are only for destroying the demons. Mainly He enters the human body for the sake of human beings. Regarding statues and photos, they are only representative models. You can worship them assuming that they are God.
