For that reason, I don't really see God changing his mind as contradictory.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I find your point about God sending someone other than Jesus etc. Interesting concept. Personally, I think the bigger question is whether we Xtians (collectively) are capable of recognizing Jesus if and when he were to return (if I am free to assume that he will, who knows, he might just change his mind on us). If that were the case, it wouldn't be an issue of whether or not God sent a replacement (which begs the question of why would he? would seem like too much work after how many years of building up to a conclusion).<br /><br />And I'm going to stop now, because the music on your blog is frankly throwing me off. :PSOLOMONSYDELLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564768670896215900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147539673409649021.post-91548803838899624882010-06-27T18:25:16.277-07:002010-06-27T18:25:16.277-07:00my friend! remove that automatic music thingy from...my friend! remove that automatic music thingy from your blog.

"Allah" spoke to Muhammad(pbuh) in the language that Muhammad understood and then his followers wrote down what he said. No translation was needed. And the revelation was between 610 and 632 AD... over 600 yrs after the books in the New Testaments were written.Realisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598415929011917118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147539673409649021.post-45471839808491559642010-06-25T14:31:02.136-07:002010-06-25T14:31:02.136-07:00lol@Azazel

I see tomuch straddling of fence..<br />Leggy ur saying that the translations could be lost etc etc, I get that. But does that mean the truth was also lost in translation?<br />If that is what ur saying then how much of the truth of the bible has been lost in translation? <br />I am assuming that in reference to this post, ur saying that the verses I posted were probably lost in translation. Ok .<br />Why then could it not be also possible that Jesus turning water into wine was lost in translation? Or Jesus walking on water lost in translation also? maybe they did not mean he walked on water literally, maybe he just stepped on top of a puddle. <br />Leggy also when u say that there are two different sides to the particular story. U are right.<br />But then God is also said to have inspired this men, why would God be willing to allow confusion to foster over something he created??<br />If Samuel lied about God's unchangeability, why would GOd let other prophets down the road to say that he is a changeable GOd?? <br />@ Lahlah<br />Ur saying that the bible is the word of men and not the word of God?<br />Ok I think I can agree with u on that.
