You make me laugh. You make up stories on your own, you distort the meaning and lie.
In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard. (Isaiah 7:20)Derprinz interpreted the and wrote wrote:Is this what God does?? He is going to shave people's legs,beard and head with the hired razor. He hasn't even got one of his own. Is this the work of God?
The verse is about the Assyrian monarch, whom God would use as an instrument in His hand to spoil and cut off the people of the Jews; who is compared to a "razor" for sharpness; and for the thorough work, and utter ruin and destruction, He should be the means of; and called a "hired" one, either in reference to the present Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria, by which he prevailed upon him to come and help him against the kings of Syria and Israel, 2Kings 16:7 or to a reward given by the Lord to Nebuchadnezzar for the service in which He employed him, see Ezekiel 29:18,
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
God talks of utter disgrace, as in those times, if someone's head was shaved off. It is only a phrase and not your stupid interpretation.
Derprinz wrote:The Biblical God rides it.
"And he(God) rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the
wings of the wind." (II Samuel 22:11)
What is so strange about it? Do you think that who created everything, cannot do this? Your Allah cannot and it is sure for there is not a single verse that says so in the Koran but our God can.
I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? (Jeremiah 32:27)
Why doesn't Koran say so because Mohammed never saw God and never who God was.
Please correct me here, didn't Mohammed claim that Gabriel came to him in male human form? If angel can do that why can't God Himself.
At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. (Isaiah 20:2-3)
Derprinz interpreted the verse and wrote:Imagine
Isaiah one of the mightiest of the Biblical Prophets walks absolutely naked and
barefoot for 3 years on the commandment of God. A Prophet of God Walking down
the streets, in front of women and children absolutely naked for 3 long years
not even wearing a G-string. Imagine if a Pope goes around naked preaching the
message of God. Huh ! Is this the quality of God that he commands people to do
such things...
Go, and loose the sackclothIt was commonly worn as an emblem of mourning. But there is reason to believe that it was worn also by the prophets, and was regarded, in some degree, as their appropriate dress. It was made usually of the coarse hair of the goat, and was worn as a zone or girdle around the loins. That this was the dress of Elijah is apparent from 2Ki_1:8 : ‘He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather;’ that is, he was clothed in a garment made of hair. The same was true of John the Baptist Mat_3:4. That the prophets wore ‘a rough garment’ is apparent also from Zec_13:4 : ‘Neither shall they (the false prophets) wear a rough garment (Hebrew, A garment of hair) to deceive;’ that is, the false prophets shall not assume the dress of the true prophets for the purpose of deluding the people, or to make them think that they are true prophets. It is evident, therefore, that this hairy garment was regarded as a dress that pertained particularly to the prophets. It is well known, also, that the ancient Greek philosophers had a special dress to distinguish them from the common people. Probably the custom of wearing “hair cloth” among the monks of later ages took its rise from this example of the prophets. His removing this garment was designed to be a sign or an emblem to show that the Egyptians should be stripped of all their possessions, and carried captive to Assyria.
Walking naked - That is, walking “without this special prophetic garment. It does not mean that he was in a state of entire nudity, for all that he was directed to do was to lay this garment - this emblem of his office - aside. The word “naked,” moreover, is used in the Scriptures, not to denote an absolute destitution of clothing, but that the “outer” garment was laid aside (see the note at Joh_21:7). Thus it is said of Saul 1Sa_19:24 that he ‘stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day;’ that is, he stripped off his royal robes, and was “naked or unclothed” in that respect. He removed his “special” dress as a king, or military chieftain, and appeared in the ordinary dress. It cannot be supposed that the king of Israel would be seen literally without raiment. So David is said to have danced “naked” before the ark, that is, with his royal robes laid aside. The prophets were accustomed to use symbolic actions to denote the events which they foretold. Thus the children of Isaiah, and the names given to them, were significant of important events (Isa_8:1-3; compare Jer_18:1-6; Jer_43:8-9); in both of which places he used emblematic actions to exhibit the events concerning which he prophesied in a striking manner. Thus also the prophets are expressly called ‘signs and wonders’ Zec_3:8; Eze_12:6.
You quoted Koran in the end of your post, I would also like to do so[quote]
10.94But if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed to you,
ask those who read the Book before you; certainly the truth has come to you from your Lord, therefore you should not be of the disputers. [/b]You know why we laugh at your comments because you do not follow your Allah and you never ask us for guidance. See, your Allah also commanded you to seek guidance from Jews and Christians.
