The Symbolic Languages Used in the Bible and the Qur'an
The divisions and conflicts between Science/Theology, Catholics/Protestants, and Judeo-Christians/Muslims are based only on the ignorance of the people. No other factors are involved. Their ignorance is about the human mind and the way our languages interact with the mind to guide humans in different, rather than identical, ways. This difference explains why ‘reality’ has many faces. This different ways of people also explain why conflicts and wars arise in the Western world without a root cause. On the other hand, if mind is equated to brain, brain and other things are equated to mechanisms, and all mechanisms are equated to the Big Bang proposal of physical scientists and other atheists, we could know the root cause of these conflicts and wars.
By not being able to find the root cause of such conflicts and wars, we must be free, must have a God, and must live forever. Thus, if we have no independent mind, we will have no God and our world will come to an end. This means that we exist only once. Accordingly, the flaws we build into our symbolic languages and minds must be reduced to stop all world conflicts and wars, that is, if we feel free, believe in God, and want to live forever without conflicts and wars, we must get busy and improve our symbolic languages.
When I conducted research on the Bible and Qur’an, I focused on those symbolic languages that affect my mind. On the Qur’an, my mind could not agree with the statement that God's language is used in the Qur’an. I could not agree with this statement because the language of a monotheistic God is not discursive. On the Old Testament, my mind could not agree with those Jews and Christians who believe that God inspires the scribes of the Old Testament. Again, I could not agree with them because the language of a monotheistic God is not discursive. On the New Testament, my mind could agree that God used a discursive language in thr New Testament, but only if Jesus Christ is the Son of God who can come into our finite world. More in-depth research on the teachings of Jesus Christ led me to concluded that His teachings are divine.

Wow honey, where did you learn logic? And how convenient that your research proved your religion is the only true one!! You could not be just a teensy bit biased. Please, please don't bother to answer. The nonsense you spout makes my head hurt. You certainly are not convincing any atheists with that meaningless self-serving drivel.

Response to anonymous.
If one rejects atheism, that person must prove that God exists and is the origin of all things in the universe. I present that proof in 'The First Scientific Proof of God.' This proof shows that God is infinite, not finite, and does not live in time.
Discursive languages are created and used only by humans. They can create and use a discursive language because they make sounds heard in time.
My logic does not say that Christianity is a true religion. All religions, including Christianity, are very primitive and have developed very few truths at this time.
I merely say that the teachings of Jesus Christ are of divine origin but that the teachings of the Old Testament and Qur'an are not of divine origin. A divine origin means that a teaching is 'of God.'
I believe that you have misinterpreted this blog.
