CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Before wqe go anywhere let us Analyse what the BIBLE has to say for itselfpeaceful soul said:
TO THE READER
[size=+1]This preface is addressed to you by the Committee of translators, who wish to explain, as briefly as possible, the origin and character of our work. The publication of our revision is yet another step in the long, continual process of making the Bible available in the form of the English language that is most widely current in our day. To summarize in a single sentence: the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is an authorized revision of the Revised Standard Version, published in 1952, which was a revision of the American Standard Version, published in 1901, which, in turn, embodied earlier revisions of the King James Version, published in 1611.
In the course of time, the King James Version came to be regarded as "the Authorized Version." With good reason it has been termed "the noblest monument of English prose," and it has entered, as no other book has, into the making of the personal character and the public institutions of the English-speaking peoples. We owe to it an incalculable debt.
Yet the King James Version has serious defects. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the development of biblical studies and the discovery of many biblical manuscripts more ancient than those on which the King James Version was based made it apparent that these defects were so many as to call for revision. The task was begun, by authority of the Church of England, in 1870. The (British) Revised Version of the Bible was published in 1881-1885; and the American Standard Version, its variant embodying the preferences of the American scholars associated with the work, was published, as was mentioned above, in 1901.[/size]
The preface of the RSV REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Let the bible speak for itself before we try to look for nits in the Quran
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=+1]1. Alif-Lâm-Mîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings]. [/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=+1]2. This is the Book (the Qur'ân), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqûn [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allâh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allâh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. [/size][/font]

3 Persons of one God
God isnt limited like we are
Its kind of like someone with split personalitys except God can display all personalities at the same time, and further more he can control which personalities he displays.

We cannot comprehend God fully with our limitedness. But we can attempt to best understand Him through what He provides, God is three person one essence God.

It's pretty logical to me that IF there was everything ok with the traditional trinitrian theology (3 persons 1 God), Koran would have said otherwise, and it does. To this day, I cannot understand how anyone can call God "3 persons" even if they are of 1 essence. There's nothing wrong with the number 3, just like God was given different names in different traditions, God can be described in 3 different ways, however the "persons" notion is just not right.

You didn't quite understand what I was saying. I meant persons for beings. If one acquires the Spirit of the Son, he becomes the Son... and the Son is God. I was saying this before. I mind endless repetitions.azri said:
