Living with the consequences of our actions is a fact of life. We all make decisions in life and then live with the repercussions of those decisions, sometimes good and sometimes bad. However, if you could go back in time and change just one decision that you have made; would you, and if so what decision would you change and why?

1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chron. 4:2: "He made a molten sea, ten cubits from one brim to another: it was round all about and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about."

How do people who interpret the Bible literally (as what's written down really happened) as the word of God reconcile this errancy? This is not attacking your faith, but surely God can calculate Pi properly? He may have made the universe but Pi is Pi, it doesn't change. This is why I think that the Bible is the work of humanity and not a divine being... your thoughts?

Though Jesus is mentioned by name in twenty-five places in the Holy Qur’ân, he is also addressed with respect as: Ibn Maryam, meaning "The son of Mary"; and as the Maseeh (in Hebrew it is the Messiah), which is translated as "Christ". He is also known as Abdullah, "The servant of Allah"; and as Rasul u Allah, the messenger of Allah.
He is spoken of as "The Word of God", as "The Spirit of God", as a "Sign of God", and numerous other epithets of honor spread over fifteen different chapters. The Holy Quran honors this mighty messenger of God, and the Muslims have not fallen short over the past fourteen hundred years in doing the same. There is not a single disparaging remark in the entire Quran to which even the most jaundiced among the Christians can take exception.

There is no god but Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the messenger of Allah.

The Christian does not know that the true spirit of charity which the Muslim displays, always, towards Jesus and his mother Mary spring from the fountainhead of his faith - the Holy Qur’ân. He does not know that the Muslim does not take the holy name of Jesus, in his own language, without saying Eesa, alaihi assalam ("Jesus, peace be upon him")
The Christian does not know that in the Holy Qur’ân Jesus is mentioned twenty five times. For example:
"We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit" (The Holy Qur’ân 2:87)
"O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary..." (3:45)
"...Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of god..." (4:171)
"...And in their foot steps we sent Jesus the son of Mary..." (5:46)
"And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous." (6:85)

There is no god but Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the messenger of Allah.

What I mean by this is; if a rich person squanders all thier money and doesn't share any of it by donating to charity or any other worth while cause will they be judged in the end?

Every morning I walk my 8 yr old son to school. If I see someone I know I say good morning and every day I get minimal ,if any, response. If I go to school meetings I sit alone. If I pick my son up from school I stand alone.
I guess it never really bothered me, in fact in a strange way it was almost like being back at school, the popular ones surrounded by their buddies, the wannabes desperately scanning the playground for a face they know, and the loners.
The reason it now bothers me is that yesterday I had a companion who was taking her sons to school at the same time she got buttonholed by an acquaintance who I know vaguely so I said Good Morning! I was completely ignored, I repeated myself and she walked off! My companion was obviously embarrased by her friends behaviour ,but, said nothing.
It struck me then, that this wasn't the first time, spouses of work colleagues, parents of children my son plays with, neighbours
All say nothing,or look uncomfortable talking to me.
Help.

MUHUMMED (pbuh): Is a true prophet of God according to the Bible " . Every spirit (meaning every prophet) that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in flesh is of God 1 JOHN 4.2 Compare with Holy Qur'an 3:45 and many other Qur’ânic references where Jesus (pbuh) is referred to as the CHRIST.

MUHUMMED (PBUH) MENTIONED BY NAME "his mouth is most sweet: yea, he is (Muhummed-im) altogether lovely, this is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. SONG OF SOLOMON 5:16
From the original Hebrew manuscript the word "MUHUMMEDIM", is translated as "altogether lovely' which is actually the word MUHUMMED with "im" added. "IM" is the plural of respect in the Hebrew language.

MUHUMMED A "COMFORTER" LIKE JESUS, PEACE BE UPON THEM "And I will pray the father, and he shall give you ANOTHER Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. JOHN 14:16
Jesus (pbuh) was the first Comforter, and ANOTHER would have to be 1 like him, of the same kind as Jesus, Jesus, a man and not a Ghost

as in you see 2 people who are both redheads and they are obviously a couple and perhaps even married. Which begs to ask, when they have children, there will be a family of at least 3 redheads. does taht seem odd or goes against nature for redheads to be drawn to eachother?
