Good post.

[Terriergal]

If you don't believe in the Bible why are you here discussing whether or not Jews, Christians, and Moslems believe in the same God?

[Terriergal]

Would you seperate those out, or would you have them shot as well, simply blaming them through association?

I would expect them to separate themselves out and make it clear whose side they were on. They should be able to understand collateral damage, if they are injured or mistaken for the enemy. Even those in clear uniform who are caught in friendly fire understand that that happens...though they strive for it not to.

[Terriergal]

Umm... I don't think so...

"Covered dish," "pot luck," whatever you call it... in some circles it's practically a sacrament. If you're called upon to make a dessert, keep a can of pineapple, a can of cherry pie filling, and a yellow cake mix on hand so that you can get that dump cake in the oven pronto!.

How didja know!?

It was a prophecy. =]

Came true, didn't it?

Another good article, thanks for the link.

I have read that Islam is the fastest growing world religion, but because of birth rate, not conversions. The same source stated that Christianity has the largest conversion rate. We probably both need to go back and double-check our sources.

[Terriergal]

But really, don't the preachers on TBN deal out prophecies for people every day? My sister even received one that said God was raising up for her a(new) husband! (she is divorced.) Has yet to come true, of course...

I would like him better if he would quit wearing that silly combover piece....

But not much. ;-)

[Terriergal]

hee hee!! I try to sneak my venison lasagne in without telling anyone... people always rave about it. ;-)

[Terriergal]

That could be true.... if you are born in Islam and have a death threat over your head if you leave, it's very likely you'll stay and carry out the plan for world domination.

LOL! I'm with you.

If the Muslims are worshipping a God that says you can forcibly convert someone to Islam

That right there pretty much proves it's not the same god. The God of Abraham never said everyone should be Muslim. The God of the Jews and Christians moved people away from polygamy and made marriage between one man and one woman a sacrament, allah wants them reverted back into polygamists. The God of Abraham made the Jews his chosen people but supposedly allah wants the Jews killed and calls them monkeys. They seem like opposites if anything.

Hey, you two, this is a series thread, not a noodle thread.

Any "percieved limitation" is not a limitation of God Himself per se, but rather a limitation God imposes on himself. Let me explain, everything in this creation exists in 4 dimensions as discrete units that move through time in one direction only. God only followed the rules that He had made in the first place, besides I don't think a God that just "exists" can fit into any sort of discrete unit anywhere. Thus the need for Christ. Jesus was the temporal answer of how to be totally God, but exist as a discrete unit moving through time in one direction. What is interesting is that since God always is, even though He existed as a discrete unit, He also had to existed outside of time at the same time. I think when explained like this, the Trinity can at least be understood in an, albeit, abstract way.

a limitation God imposes on himself

This I know God does all the time. Otherwise, no one should die, because He doesn't want them to. But He has limited Himself from interfering in our world; that is not to say there are no miracles, or that He stands by and idly watches, or that He even ignores us.

[realpatriot71]

Exactly, I think for God as He exists as the Father to completely manifest himself in this creation would be to destroy the creation. It would be too much.
