Pure Pwnage from 7:47 Till 10:25

I love the way Abduallah answers Nabeel's question, How could God sacrifice an innocent man for the sins of the world ..where is forgiveness in Christianity ? the answer : There is none !!

Nabeel if you lived in a "glass house ", it would be very easy for other people to hurt you by throwing stones at you... :0)

that lady in white hijab pawned david wood he was stuck

man there basic concept is wat person cant understand that how many Gods are there :D

[SagafeTakar]

@sxhtsmtman So your God is like a protein and has 3 diminsional structure, no wonder why most Atheists are from a Christian background.

[JabrilAbdullah]

There's no greater 'limiting' than to 'limit' the Infinite to the finite. GOD is indivisible.

[sxhtsmtman]

to all muslims why do you limit God is allah one like me or like a table . do you even understand medical sciences biochemistry do you know why a protein has to fold in a 3 diminsional structure yes our cells aremade of amino acids what make up polypetides that has to fold in a 3 dimenisional structure or we die .Do moslims ask God why the protein that makes up our every cell and makes everythingwrk inour human body has to be unitarian lol comon God representation .moslim ask same qs as atheist

[raju53]

in the begining david was saying their god infinit loving,,

later he admited that god also panish peopele it means he is not all loving,

but in the end he says again that his god is all loving,,,

he contradicts him self over and over again,,,complete nonsence

[trueguynolies]

My bad! I didn't get the joke; guess I need to chill-out a bit more! lol

[Kite208]

You do realize that I am joking, rght?

[trueguynolies]

Does your God have a personality disorder? Moreoevr you are comparing your God with creation so your God is also CREATED too i.e. comparing God with creation (personality disorder). Our God cannot be compared with creation because He is above creation All Powerful! Thank You

[trueguynolies]

Forget all the scriptures, look at common sense because good common sense thinking will get you into heaven, God cannot blame you if you think common sense- it's natural to think that God is above creation and All Powerful, infinite etc If God becomes a man he becomes finite which is NOT the attribute of God so this cannot be, it is illogical and nonsensical! So Christians, turn to Islam! Peace

[Acxxman]

Oh, wow i never thought it would be that easy, thanks~

LOL

[Kite208]

What are you talking about? Trinity does make sense. Its easy to explain.

multiple personality disorder.

Three words but one meaning. See? that wasnt hard, was it?
