There you go again, back to the bible. Can you leave it alone for one second? Justify your faith without bringing up mine, or any other for that matter. I'm making a parallel Steve. You say you have this problem with Islam even though you know full well that the Bible has translations that differ as well. Translations simply are approximations of the original meaning. If I say "Horse" in Spanish, how do you translate that to English? Is Horse the only way?? No, there's "mare," "mustang," "pony," etc. All refer to a horse but all have slightly differen meanings. , proof that it speaks about prophets speaking false truths. No, you're trying to interpret it that way. It does not say Prophet's speak false truths. It says Satan trys to put obstacles in their ways but Allah destroys all of them. You said, "It doesn't say immediately." You know what? It doesn't say "not immediately" either. You're trying to put this verse the way you want to believe it. Let's try to mainstream this conversation and address this issue where I give you the proof. I asked the Muslims at our Mosque. Not one interprets the verse your way. No one. I doubt many Christians would either (assuming they didn't know you and know what this discussion was about). Peace be unto you, Norris
