Muslimah, how can you ridicule something you don't understand? It isn't a "hard try" to say I'm not deceived, I know I'm not. I see the truth of the Bible and can feel the Son of God at work in my life. Question for you Muslimah: Why is a book that, as you believe, is full of inappropriate sexual language of such interest to you?
Shamms I m surprised of your question, you are on a Muslim board, when non Muslims come here, they certainly have different objectives. Of them to learn if Quran is the true word of Allah, to verify if other books, in their current status are or not..etc. This thread happened to be related to the bible, it originally started when Wael wanted an Arabic language version. Both you and reepi on you side tried to find out why would a native Arabic speaker Nazarine would not want us to look at it. I asked you a question, not because I m interested in the book, but because I always wanted to know how present time Nazarines really view this type of language and how they place it in terms of being in a divine book to them.
If you dont want to discuss with me, that is fine.
Regarding the word begotten, Shamms, again I m not putting words in Wael's mouth, but I think what he wants to tell you and what I helped by explaining how Eassa blessing and peace be upon him birth was clearly described in Quran, is that the word begotten sends cerain connotation that must not be sent, not because this was the case, but we are talking about the writing style. I hope the point is clear. Again I d use the same explanation, a God Should have a more precise way in expressing the situation.
