If you want a proof it should go like this
Prove god existence
Prove that Allah is that God
Prove that Qur'an came from God
Follow Qur'an strictly
Every thing inside Qur'an you just take it as granted (no need to prove it specifically)
Quote:So you are saying that GOD(S) aren't GODS after all? So much for omnipotence.According to the proof, just one non-created God can exist
Quote:First of all, the notion that Man was created in God's image does not originate from Christianity. It came out of Judaism, and likely earlier religious traditions of the region. Secondly, what is unique about your god, and why can nothing be similar. Also, what would that imply?Yes you are correct
We have the same text in Islam as well
"God created Adam on his image"
But the Jews understood it wrong, His means Adams image
I.e. God created on his (Adam's) image as a full man directly without going into childhood
Quote:Secondly, if it impossible to know why your god does things, then how is it possible that people are always told of his will, and of things that are ascribed to god.We can know "What" & "Why", only by getting his message through revelation
We cannot know "Why" by using logic, because his will is not like ours
We cannot know "HOW", even if God tells us because he is unique
Quote:it was the Muslims who claimed that Allah was punishing Man for all his sins.Maybe, maybe not!
Quote:I agree completely that that was the case, but it doesn't make a good argument that the Muslims who made those statements are honest people.God said in Qur'an that all people (even Muslims) are sinners and they deserve great punishments, only because of his mercy he is delaying that punishment and may forgive (some Muslims) as well.
