Let me start by teaching you something about how to comment here. You will notice in comment #36 above that you wrote several things but only this one comment is now visible because you wrote your answers to me within the the quote of my comment...which means when I want to return comment and...

I must have touched a nerve. Are you here to learn or to promote your own religion? Anyway, I will answer your question: I don't know Allah or the Quran, and no, I am not a Muslim - but I do know God.

Good. Let's start here. If you appreciate or expect intellectual honesty, you need to offer the same - which, so far you have not. You should be confessing that the whole thing is a mystery to you and asking questions. But here you are making your own assertions, and imposing a set of rules...

The key word here, is "appears." Don't be sorry. Be smart. If you cannot see something you are not looking at, is that any reason to deny it? Will you at least open your eyes...and your mind?

Says who? You think that just because you woke up in a world you think you have figured out, that you can make all the rules that others must comply with to suit your limited understanding? The subject is WAY bigger than that - don't be so small and limited in your thinking, it's foolish.

My first comment was the answer, that is: "You don't understand." And then I explained. But you are completely free not to believe the truth... Good luck with that. You can prove nothing. Purposing to use a standard of proof that falls short of the context, doesn't prove anything except that...

Nothing of what you have said is anything but hearsay and the common understanding of those not in the know. Maybe this will help: Imagine you were born into a really big room and no one had ever been or seen outside. Who then in the big room would know anything about what was outside? Would...

I have addressed and answered everything you brought up. If you do not except it, that would be consistent with your original position. God is who He says He is. I am acting on that, meaning "I am" also. And you too are who you are, and acting accordingly. Thanks for being clear.

Christianity demonstrates acting in kind with the Creator of all things who is what He is because He says, "I am." In other words, He demands the same moral attribute from us as He does Himself, that we should now act according to our own choice of freewill that we made before time, now that we...

Again...you don't understand... Time, which is the enactment of your freewill choice (before time began), is your real time second chance. You do have your whole lifetime, but there are no third chances. So, if you confirm your first choice of freewill during your time of enactment - "it is...

You don't understand... You are not "presented with an A or B choice" but were presented with an A or B choice...and this is you acting on it, which does indeed make it freewill. You have been studying the scriptures. Therefore, understand that when they refer to things happening "before the...

I have made up nothing, but have addressed you according to the word and the spirit of God, and you show contempt for both. Your prejudice is obvious, and this is why we are at odds. Knowing, therefore, that light has no communion with darkness, I turn you over to Satan.

You are wrong...but I like it, because the answer to your question vindicates me of your accusations: The definition, (to quote the scripture), as with all scripture, "must be discerned spiritually" - i.e. not in word alone.

You are attempting to define heavenly things by worldly standards...which cannot be done. So, you can explain everything, but it is darkness. These things that you seem to think are true are only so in a manner of speaking. That is, only according to the way the world sees the meaning of...

It is a biblical fact that Jesus was with the Father "before the foundation of the world." 1 Peter 1:20 "He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you." John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory...

If I understand your question correctly. Yes, the number is written in the books, limit in advance, i.e. predetermine—determined before hand, ordained, or predestined. But this is only in a manner of speaking. That is, only according to the way the world sees predestiny. Which, means...

You are getting off track and missing the point. I did not say either way, but simply quoted Jesus. So, if you have a problem with it, your beef is not with me. But that was not the point. The point was that reading the word according to the way things once were, does not necessarily speak to...

Well, the [new] earth has a future, but not this present earth, and not the world, for His kingdom is "not of this world." So, when He comes for us ("each in our own order") so "that where He is we might be also", that means we are no longer in the world or upon this old earth. But those who...

There is another reason for this falling away: There is a bodily exodus day by day, leaving the world to those who perish.

Very well stated. The answer is... He does not ("need to be bodily present" in the way that it is commonly understood). Nonetheless, He [is] bodily present - in His body (the church).
