Well the Muslim guy did make sense. Obviously the Truth can only make sense.

[OrganicKing]

the Jewish rbbi exploited the debate to push his political retarded views (i.e the Arabs should recognize Israle & the Iraq invasion was to promote democracy)

FAIL

[TheLionessjudah]

I want to recommend a listening site that is called Through the Bible with Les Feldick, free listening on the web. I would listen to it and Perry Stone's teachings on utube, many arab moslems are his friends, and he deals with end time prophecy. I think that in these end times we have to be aware of what has gone before in God's plan. You may oppose, but God works in mysterious ways, and you never know when you are entertaining with angels.

[TheLionessjudah]

I read the Bible and I find it is so reliable with the way the old testament prophecies are fulfilled which indicates the validation of truth. The last prophecy which is recorded by Daniel, and who Jesus mentions in his sermon, matches up perfectly to John' s Revelation. Even the current events of today, with the waters of the Euphrates drying up, the middle east situation, all match up with what will happen as foretold. Too much truth to push aside, for a Holy Book that is supposedly altered.

[TheLionessjudah]

The problem with any book after the Bible is that the Word of God clearly states that if anyone adds to or subtracts from this Holy Book will experience all the plagues written therein. You have the Quran that states Jesus Christ did not die on the cross, nor was he ressurected, and according to Jesus's own words as witnessed by thousands that would call him a liar. The old testament gives account of Christ's birth, death as a curse, and resurrection, so now the Old testament would be a lie.
