He wanted to establish the power of God then try and downplay Jesus with the last question. He's an idiot for thinking anyone would fall for it, but he's an even bigger idiot because he probably fell for it himself when he was first presented with these questions..

Actually, I'm not an idiot and I am being totally logical. Tell me what is illogical about what I am purposing?
The Creator is the eternal, the absolute. He is greater than anything within his creation. He is not bound by the laws of the creation, for he is the Creator! He created the condition of hunger for man, but he himself does not get hungry and he does not eat! The Creator does not sleep, for if he slept who would sustain his creation? And I am 100% sure the Creator of the Worlds does not need to use the restroom!
Next question for Christians... For Muslims, the Noble Qu'ran clearly explains that no sleep nor slumber can overtake God (Allah). Yet, the Bible says that God "slept on the 7th day". So my question for the Christians is, who is maintaining and sustaining the Earth while God is sleeping?

Who said you were being illogical? Certainly not me. I said your questions were rhetorical. I find it amusing that you think you can derive the proper information from books like the Torah, Gospel, and Quran, but you can't even read my simple posts and understand what I said. How can you decipher the Quran when you don't even know the difference between rhetorical and illogical? You questions were rhetorical because you knew the answers all Christians would give, then you threw in that last question as a trap to make us think "well then Jesus can't be God". You're an idiot because you thought any one here would buy into it.
As for your latest ignorant question (ingorant because you ignore the fact the the book of Genesis is just as much a part of Islam as it is Christianity.); I have no idea what God rested on the 7th day really means. I know many people think that the creating of the world in 6 days literally means days like night and day, but I have read that if you take the actual hebrew text and translate that the word day most likely stands for era. So by that token we may very well be in the 7th day right now and God is currently resting, which would explain all the chaos in the world (your posts and threads in this forum included ;)). Maybe the day of man is the 7th day. Perhaps the prophets that were sent along the years were just attempts from God to convince us to take the path of righteousness. Who knows? I personally do not believe God controls the world as we speak because if he did we would not make such poor choices all the time. I strongly believe that free will is present and God is staying out of it. I believe he created it, and I believe he has the power to step in whenever he wants. I just don't think he does because he wants us choose the right path, and when we do we get to come home. That's the way I see it at the moment. My thoughts could change with time, but either way they are only thoughts and not self imposed facts I force upon my fellow man.

wow man, why they call you shallow i dunno, coz thats some deep shit there man... i havent heard that theory before, i really need to get readin the old testament...
Low Key:
I am not religious by any means, but if you think about it, what is the 7th day? It' Sunday.
Now, if God created the universe in 6 days, the 7th day is used to praise God for what He has given us while he rests. That is why many people go to church on Sunday.
To me, that seems like a logical answer. I could be wrong, but from a logical point of view, that's what I see the 7th day as.
authentic:
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? UR SO WEIRD YOU CANT EXPOSE A RELIGION THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CENTURIES. JUST CAUSE YOUR PRO MUSLIM UP THE ASS AND READ WHATEVER YOU READ, DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN GO OUT AND TRY TO GIVE A BAD NAME TO OTHER RELIGIONS. RELIGION IS A FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND SHOULDNT BE CONTESTED BY YOUR BIAS VIEWS TOWARDS THINGS.
ME PERSONALLY JESUS>>>>>>>>ANY GOD.
