So are u going to do it now in this life, worship Him alone and be rewarded with whatever u desire in the Hereafter for obeying and pleasing our creator, or will u ignore His guidance and forgiveness, disbelieve in Him, and then accept Him as ur Lord when it's too late to repent and u r doomed to eternal punishment, like none that you have ever seen? I guarantee u will accept Him as ur Lord willingly in this life or willingly in the Hereafter. But my advice is to accept His guidance and mercy while u still have time my friend
" The Holy Qur'an, through Muhammad(pbuh)who was an illiterate man.. Everyone who knew him knew he was unlearned and could not read nor write. By doing this God showed that this scripture couldn't be produced by a human being, therefore could only come from God Himself. "
Really? That nasty pedophile snake-oil salesman was illiterate? So, how did someone of his time write a book? - - (wait for it) - like most of the people of his time and place, they would hire a scribe. He probably found some young boy that was studying, so he'd be a cheap fuck at the same time. That's why it took so long to write the books. The young scribes kept growing up. After all, if an angel had written the work, then if would have been too holy for a human to read or touch. Something would have made it obviously different. And he wouldn't need Muhammed at all.
"The word for sea appears 32 times and the word for land appears 13 times. 32+13=45. 32/45=71.11% the exact percentage of water that covers the Earth and 13/45=28.89% the exact percentage of land that covers the Earth." "Ch. 16 is The Honeybee, scientists today have discovered that the bee has 16 chromosomes."
This is exactly the point. If god, who knows everything, would have used the book to explain why we have continents and glaciers and freshwater and salt water, and to explain DNA, the solar system, etc., well then the Qur'an might actually be proof of god's existence. If it was full of knowledge that Muhammed could not possibly have known, there for everyone to read, without having to count words and play silly numerology games, that would be interesting. These "hidden messages" and numerology "miracles" though, they are just crap from con men who take your money and laugh all the way to the bank. Sometimes, they come from people who are so desperate to prove that their holy book is special that they spend years of time coming up with nonsense.
If God wants to prove something to us now, he can just pop down here and hold a press meeting for the news. He doesn't have to hide messages where only a special few can find them.
I can't accept an imaginary being as "my lord". And no deities exist. So no. Keep playing with your imaginary friend, but don't you dare assume that my belief or lack thereof is any of your business.
