It is also possible that Muhammad learnt Torah and Bible and he then created his own version by taking stuff from them and then narrating it to his followers who wrote them as Koran.

Please dont take offence anybody, this is just a Q that came to my mind after reading briefs of Torah, Bible & Koran.

I know that a lot of people are talking about the end times, wondering if they are here. It seems to me like we are in the "beginning of the end." I feel this way b/c of all of the natural disasters in recent years and the growing wars across the world.

However, I'm guessing that a lot of people thought that we were in the "beginning of the end" during WWII when Jews were being killed during the holocaust. Maybe they were in the "beginning of the end," at that time, and this is a continuation of that.

So, I guess that what I'm trying to say is that this is not the first time that the world has been in an uproar, and even though we may be experiencing the birthpains of the end times, it could be years before Christ returns.

My question is, how do you interpret the current world events with regards to the end times? Do you believe we are experiencing the signs of the times?

Hey all...

I've been confused about something for a long time and I was hoping one of you would be able to clear it up for me.

How do you properly say "hospital" in Hindi?
Is it Aspital or Haspital...i've always said it was a "h" but in some texts I've noticed the "h" missing! Is this a colloquial difference or have I been saying it wrong all my life?

When a person asks a question it is because they don't have the answer, or the answer may be hard to find in a search engine because it is vague or hard to put into words that don't retrieve 5million matches.
Or possibly the person may be looking for an opinion based on others life experiences or ideas. I'll admit some of the questions are downright stupid, but I play the better person and don't click on the link.......or respond.
No instead you have to be mean and rude, hide behind the screen and show no social skills. You don't call people a retard when they are looking for help. That just teaches people not to ask anyone else for advice and make stupid mistakes we all have to fix. Think of a persons reaction when you say such jerk-ish things.
Why do you have to be that way!?

someone explain this to me. What do these people believe? And everything else. I'm just curious about this "religion". Oh and if anyone is a scientoligist, what do you feel about Tom Cruise, his actions, and how he's become your unoffical spokesperson for the world.

Why can't more people think like me? Doesn't anyone remember that you can't take it with you? What about the preschool lesson of sharing? Do we need to go back to preschool. STOP ACCUMULATING ALL THAT WEALTH!!!! There's not enough for the rest of the world when a few people hoard it all.

Just because I don't believe in what you do (which puts me in good company because neither does 2/3 of the planet) why do I get a trite and condescending name? I don't address you as "self-delusioner" or "fool." Why don't you address me as "non-christian" or "atheist"?

1. That a lot of people here may be very young and naive in their knowledge of the world?

2. That a lot of people may come from small towns with only one major religion and may never met a person with a different belief in their lives?

3. That many of these people only know other beliefs from the lies that their parents, their small-town preachers and their friends tell them?

4. That we have an opportunity here to _educate_ people about other faiths instead of shouting them down?

5. That we can support our own beliefs and fellow people who share them better by showing a higher example to them?

Remember - some people are filled with hate, but some people just don't know any better. Let's try to give them the benefit of the doubt and show them that the biggest true 'sin' is a lack of knowledge and understanding. Let's lead by example.

(Mind you that doesn't mean we shouldn't be merciless with the ones who are proud of their ignorance :p )

It seems like (in America at least) that the capitalistic desire to consume, consume, consume has often been justified with:

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Does this command by god to go and take and use whatever you want on the planet, without consequences, explain why resources run out and animals go extinct?

...go along with it just to avoid embarassment or would you run away?

(I've tried this out before, and sometimes people would actually play along, but only if they were walking with a group of friends or such...hilarious! Have we met?)
