Qu'ran 5
72. They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no...

Reading your rebuttal of psalms 91, I have to wonder if either of you ever had children. It is not "Waaa, I'm hungry" or "Waaa, I need changing" that leads one to conclude the existence of an innate sin nature. Watch one infant crawl over to another, take the toy from...
The Mother and Cousin of GOD?
(You know how Jewish mothers can be ... "I was talking with your Aunt Elizabeth. Would it kill you to be nice to your cousin John?") :)
It is actually irrelevant. People make much fuss about the similarities of Genesis to other Creation Stories in existence at that time. That is not an accident. A careful study of the differences will reveal that all other creation stories share certain common features and assumptions that...
If the Anabaptists believe salvation is synergistic and the Particular Baptists believe that immersion into water is an ordinance done in obedience after one is already saved (monergistically) by God, then the beliefs have radically different origins and you mis-speak when you state that a...
There are no Calvinist Anabaptists ... it is a self-contradictory term you made up. There are Calvinist Credobaptist (commonly called Particular Baptists or Reformed Baptists), that disagree with you on the purpose and meaning of baptism. So there is no “Thus the synergistic assumption” as you...
John 14:17 NLT He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
Romans 8:1-8 NLT

I always thought the unforgivable sin was a settled opposition to Jesus Christ (because there is no other 'way' to forgiveness).
Since visiting Georgia, I am less sure ... it could also be room temperature mayonnaise on hot roast beef (which may be the sin that leads to death.)
Have you seen “What’s in the Bible? with Buck Denver.” from Phil Vischer (creator of Veggie Tales)?
“Oh, the story of the great I AM,
It shouldn’t be such a mystery.
From Jesus Christ to Billy Graham,
A Pirate’s Guide to Church History.”
(I love that song.)
Parable: a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth, religious principle, or moral lesson.
Allegory: a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms; figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another.

No, the original was in Greek ...
... but I don't read Greek.:chairfall:
(On a serious note, it IS the version that I believe, which is what it says: "I believe ...")
Translation of the Nicene Creed of AD 325 (for anyone interested):
No, Christians are not polytheists. Islam and the Qu'ran just reguard Trinitarians as such so Qu'ran verses about 'polytheists' apply to anyone who believes the doctrine of the Trinity (which is most 'Christians') ... I guess the JWs can ignore the polytheist verses in the Qu'ran.

Matthew 7:21-23 NASB
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in...
[Jhn 1:14, 18 NASB] 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only[G3439] begotten[G3439] from the Father, full of grace and truth. ... 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only[G3439] begotten[G3439] God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has...
