It’s actually disturbing to think that nearly a quarter of the population does take it literally.

The mustard seed discusses faith, not heaven.People: Jesus, what is Heaven like?
Jesus: Heaven is a mustard seed.
Sounded (the little I listened to) like the timing of the Exodus corresponded with Egyptian history. That is fine, it seems likely that there were oral traditions that came down from that time. However, many of the Exodus 'facts' don't really match up with the story.Dr James Hoffmeier Confirms the Exodus
Well at least 24% is better than the Biden poll numbers.Front Page Featured | MRCTV

A.People: Jesus, what is Heaven like?
Jesus: Heaven is a mustard seed.
Mustard is a weed that grows in wheat fields and makes farming a pain in the ass.
I guess Christianity (no idea what 'Chrislam' is) is not like a mustard seed since it has NEVER been pure and still is not. How many flavors of Christianity are there today? Not saying it is a bad thing, only that it is a fact.Let's do some homework. Mustard seed as a size of faith and it's mountain moving power:
It germinates quickly.
And a small portion of faith can grow remarkably large just as that tiny seed grows into a giant shrub/tree, used for a variety of good.
A mustard seed can grow in the worst conditions. Poor soil, drought, wet, hot or cool climate. So can our faith grow in less than perfect conditions.
***A mustard seed cannot be corrupted. You can not hybridize it. It stays pure. In reference to faith, for instance, Chrislam is a corruption. A hybridized version of Christianity and Islam. It is a corruption of both. And that growth is not beneficial to the farmer. It comes from the enemy. Plant the wrong seed in your wheat field, and it will quickly overcome your sheaves of wheat, and you'll starve in the best of conditions...
The Word of God is as pure today as it was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. It hasn't deviated one bit. Man created denominations because of disagreements over dogma. That isn't the same as hybridizing. The example I used, Chrislam, is a politically correct marriage of Christianity and Islam to promote the whole, all Gods are the same God pretense.I guess Christianity (no idea what 'Chrislam' is) is not like a mustard seed since it has NEVER been pure and still is not.

But since you believe there is only one God, Allah and Yahweh must be the same. Islam recognizes the validity of the OT and NT just not their accuracy. Considering they'd been oral traditions before being written down and copied many times, not an absurd belief. If you consider Mormons to be Christian than is Islam so different?The Word of God is as pure today as it was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. It hasn't deviated one bit.

People way smarter than me have been arguing about what the Bible means since day one. Good luck finding any 2 Christians that agree 100%.Not, "much of" the Bible is allegory/metaphor, (a symbol with a hidden meaning), "some" of the Bible is. Some is also simile, personification, parable, epigram, irony, and literalism.
To dismiss the Bible as merely symbolic is to call God a liar. And His promises, lies.
If He says the way to escape judgment is to not judge another, there is no symbolism there. That is a tip, for our benefit. If He says Christ is coming back, then Christ is coming back. Take it literally, and be prepared...

Jesus is God and son of God so not quite that simple.They are not the same.
Man A has no children. Man B has a child. How do you know that those 2 men are not the same person?
Allah has no children. They make that quite clear on the Dome of the Rock.
OK, so is belief in Jesus the only way to redemption? What of people who lived before Jesus or people who never even heard of Jesus?As to Christians not agreeing, to the contrary. Turn on any preacher today and they are all in agreement as to the tenets of the Bible. One may not eat fish on Fri. another one may, but God's plan for the redemption of His children, the role of Jesus, the Christ, remains on solid ground.
Yeah.....here we go again with a "consensus" being projected as some kind of truth? Take a long historical look at consensus opinions. There was a consensus among men that the earth was the center of the universe and it was promoted as truth by supposed men of science........the sun revolved around the earth.......the earth was flat. And if you are going to present consensus opinion as truth.......why not promote the documented fact that 93% of the world's population accepts the philosophy of a CREATOR GOD. And the human secular type atheists make up about 7% of the 8 billion people that populate the earth? That is if consensus promotes TRUTH.....if not why not?Front Page Featured | MRCTV

It is simple enough to understand because Jesus and God have different roles. Christ removed our sin. God remembers them no more, for Christ's sake.Jesus is God and son of God so not quite that simple.
The Trinity always makes my head hurt. It seems like a desperate attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable.It is simple enough to understand because Jesus and God have different roles. Christ removed our sin. God remembers them no more, for Christ's sake.
We cloned a sheep. The 2 are the same, yet different. One is a mother, one is a daughter.
Jesus, the Son is sitting next to God right now. Where is Allah's son?
Think of it this way. I am as a trinity. You probably are too.The Trinity always makes my head hurt. It seems like a desperate attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable.
