@123dsj123 Are you done fooling yourself and are ready to accept Islam or will you continue to tread the path of those who over-exaggerated in their praise of Jesus the son of Mary?

[123dsj123]

@tadpo You understand comparison in terms of equality whereby when you compared one thing to another, you make them equal to each other. This is not necessarily true. In Q. 37:125 Allah compares himself to the idol god Baal while insisting that he (Allah) is the better of the two gods. It reads, "Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators. Notice “creators” is plural. In this comparison Allah acknowledges Baal as a creator, but an inferior creator than he (Allah).

[123dsj123]

@tad I said this: "When you compare, you do one or two things — you either draw similarities between two or more things, or you draw dissimilarities between two or more things." You wrote: “In this case, you're drawing similarities between an atom and God. One is created and the other is the Almighty…the One whom no one and nothing can be compared.” Not true. You and Allah are comparable to each other in the sense that you two are living. You two have a mind, a will, and an emotion.

@123dsj123 "When you compare, you do one or two things — you either draw similarities between two or more things, or you draw dissimilarities between two or more things."

In this case, you're drawing similarities between an atom and God. One is created and the other is the Almighty, Supreme, Majestic, Most-High, Most Great Creator of everything. The One whom no one and nothing can be compared. The One who shares no similarities with anything. The One who has no equal or co-equal.

@tadpo You compare Allah to everything else when you say, “Allah is unlike anything.” This makes Quran 112:4 a false statement, because it says, “None is comparable to him.” However, the word “compare” also means “to draw similarities between two or more things. While God and the atom are dissimilar, God and the atom are also similar in that they both are one in which three nature dwell. Atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons. God: Father, Word of God, and Spirit.

@tadpol Quran 112:4reads, “None is comparable to him.” This verse is both a true statement and a false statement. When you compare, you draw similarities between two or more things. When you compare, you also draw dissimilarities between two or more things. When you say, “Allah is unlike anything” you are comparing Allah is everything else. This makes Quran 112:4 a false statement, because it says, “None is comparable to him.” You just compare Allah by saying, “Allah is unlike anything.”

[123dsj123]

@tadp You asked: “If God is unlike anything, then how in the world do you continue to use this atom theory?” The answer is simple — very simple. Quran 112:4 reads, “None is comparable to him.” When you compare, you do one or two things — you either draw similarities between two or more things, or you draw dissimilarities between two or more things. The statement “Allah is unlike anything” is as equal a comparison as the statement “Allah is like something.”

@123dsj123 "The atom is comparable to God because it comprises plurality of three within."

If God is unlike anything, then how in the world do you continue to use this atom theory? A created atom is made up of three parts. Does that mean we can use its example to explain the Creator? No! It's created. The Creator is uncreated. Whether you're comparing or likening, it doesn't work. God is not a law firm. He is One without associates. Jesus didn't use that bogus atom argument for good reason.

[123dsj123]

@ta You asked: “If the Proton, Neutron, or Electrons dies, is it still an atom?” The atom is comparable to God because it comprises plurality of three within. Within one atom are three natures: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Within one God are three Natures: Father, Word of God, and Spirit. Something of the atom may die, but nothing of God dies. On the Cross it is the clothing (human body) that “Word of God” wore or put on that died. Word of God Himself did not die — only His clothing died.

@123dsj123 "To compare God unto the atom make good sense."

If either the Proton, Neutron, or Electrons dies, then is it still called an atom?
