[ProskuneoXriston]

@MavsBoyJ5 - 1.) Because Jesus, as God, chose to humble Himself and enter into the world as a man. I have no clue why God could not make this choice. Making it look absurd seems rather foolish.

2.) Solomon had so many wives/concubines because he disobey and accumulated them. Can not the Scriptures report factual history? What was the point of saying this?

3.) You referring to Lot? He wasn't a prophet.

4.) There is no porn in the Bible. Give it up.

Weak arguments all around...

[MavsBoyJ5]

Let me teach u truth.

Why did your God choose 2 come 2 the world through the birth canal of a young teenage virgin?

Why did Solomon (in the bible) have like 300 wives/concubines?

Why does your Bible speak of inbred sex within your holy prophets?

Why does the bible have porn?

'Nuff said.

As for your claims, Muhammad did not copy anything. What proof did you have?

He did not rape anyone (astagfiullah). And humans enjoy sex =) God made us that way.

HAHA, i just listened to that bit!

It was funny when he said:

'I dont know how many times I have read the bible but its been a few decades now'
