The text by the challenger is in Blue - The answer is in Black. For your convenience the challenge is represented by it's main objections/points. We've not taken the time to answer arguments that are not fact or source based. An example of such an argument would be, "because of false data" without listing an example or making a reference that lists an example.
Who is their God - Allah or Rashad?
They say 19 is a Sign, but Allah does not say so... They say 19 is a Miracle, but Allah does not say so... They say 19 protects Quran, but Allah does not say so... They say 19 corrects Quran, but Allah does not say so.... They say J day is in the year of 2280., but Allah does not say so... They say whoever die under the age of 40 he automaticaly goes in heaven, but Allah does not say so...Do they want to teach God his religion??!!
It is in fact those who do not accept the mathematical structure of the Quran and the overwhelming evidence to support the conclusions about the day of judgement and age of decision that wants to dictate what should and should not be part of God's religion and message. This is the opposite of Submission to God. This is opposition to God.
As students of the Quran we are merely observers of what is already there, what has been there since its revelation 1400 years ago. The number of chapters and verses have always been the same, the number of occurences of the word GOD and the versenumbers in which they occur have always been the same. The number of initialled letters in each sura has always been the same. The few distortions of the Quranic structure, such as the addition of the two false verses at the end of Sura 9, sticks out like a sore thumb in this overwhelming and exacting pattern.

About the age of 40. The Bible and the Quran only mentions one age in regard to the point where man is considered to reach maturity in the eyes of God, and that is the age of 40. This is also recognized universally by medical doctors and psychologists as a key age in that regard.
Those who object to this have no other suggestion to offer. They just have criticism to offer. So when asked when the human being becomes responsible enough to stand trial before God for his or her decisions, and take the inevitable consequences of Hell if they did not believe and lead a righteous life, they never have an answer. Those who object all agree however that it is NOT 40, this despite the fact that we read in the Quran the following overwhelmingly strong clues:
[46:15] We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him arduously, gave birth to him arduously, and took intimate care of him for thirty months. When he reaches maturity, and reaches the age of forty,* he should say, "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Let my children be righteous as well. I have repented to You; I am a submitter."
[35:37] They will scream therein, "Our Lord, if you get us out of here, we will work righteousness, instead of the works we used to do." Did we not give you a life-long chance, with continuous reminders for those who would take heed? Did you not receive the warner? Therefore, taste (the consequences). The transgressors will have no one to help them.
Does God run out of words? Is Quran complete,detailed and explanation of all things?
The Quran is indeed complete, perfect and fully detailed. Once we recognize that we need to take to heart its actual contents. Otherwise we only offer lip-service, like those who keep the Quran well wrapped somewhere in a high place in their homes, while they turn to their imams and their other sources like hadith and sunnah for guidance on the Quranic message, completely against God's decrees in the Quran, which fobrids us from accepting anything we ourselves have not verified in the name of religion, and which commands us not to uphold any other sources besides the Quran.
From where did they pick up all the informations above? The answer is:"From appendices of Rashad Khalifa`s translation of Quran........".
The correct answer is that it is all derived from the Quran. Rashad Khalifa did not bring anything new. Every single thing he presented in the name of our religion can be verified in the Quranic text and structure.
Quran does not says that 19 is a Sign, but Rashad in his appendices said so ... Quran does not says that 19 is a Miracle, but Rashad in his appendices said so Quran does not says that 19 protects Quran, but Rashad in his appendices said so... Quran does not says that 19 corrects Quran, but Rashad in his appendices said so.... Quran does not says that J day is in the year of the 2280., but Rashad in his appendices said so... Quran does not say that whoever die under the age of 40 automatically goes to heaven, but Rashad in his appendices said so...
The entire Quran, istr structure and contents bears witness to this miraculous phenomena of a completely and perfectly mathematically composed scripture, far beyond human capability.
One of the secrets that have been contained in the Quran is the year of the Day of Judgement. With the revelation of its miracle, this fact was also unveiled. To familiarize yourself with all the proofs and facts for yourself, from the Quran, please visit the following link:

Who is your God? - The author of Quran, or the author of the appendices??? Which are the words of God - Quran or the appendicess? Who is your God? Allah or Rashad?
Rashad himself said, just like prophet Muhammad did, that we should not accept anything from him except the Quran. He encouraged all his followers to verify what he said in the Quran.
He is recorded saying this. We can highly recommend a video called the Great Debate, in which Rashad Khalifa clarifies his position in this regard very clearly. Just visit www.video.google.com and search for Rashad Khalifa and The Great Debate.
