ok all these names. i am sunni..i am shia...i am sofi...i am wahabi...i am ahmadi. while in fact those names did not exist during prophet Muhammad and never mentioned in the Quran.

dosen't matter if Abu-bakr, or Ali, or Hisham take the lead 1400 years ago? Islam should never be divided. your book is the Quran, and the sealed of the prophets is Muhammad.

all what God ask for in the Quran is to follow the path of Abraham.
Quran ch4
[125] And who can be better in religion than one who submits his face (himself) to Allâh and he is a Muhsin (a good-doer - see V.2:112). And follows the religion of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) ......"

so muslims please just say i submit and surronder to Allah alone, and i am muslim.

In the few weeks i've been a part of this forum, I often see people quoting The Gospel of Judas and the Holy Qur'an in an effort to discredit the Bible. While I will admit that there are a number of people who have misinterpreted the Bible and used that misinterpretation to bring havoc to the people they don't like... I can't understand why more effort isn't put into discrediting the people or groups who are causing the offense instead of attacking the Bible and its teachings. Is there any chance that people attack the Bible because they feel threatened by it and its message???

I welcome all answers and intelligent dialogue... however I would appreciate actual responses and not just people telling me how stupid I am... I have younger siblings who can do that for me. Thanks.

I've read the Bible both KJV and NIV, I've tried the Gnostic Gospels, I've tried the Catholic Church, Baptist Churches, Churches of God, Kingdom Halls, Seventh Day Adventist Churches, Pentecostal Churches, I've looked through telescopes, microscopes and periscopes, rode planes, trains and automobiles, been underground, overground and wombled free, I've read the arguments of a couple of Christian philosophers and checked out the websites that argue in support of Christianity and I have yet to find this "God"

What?

Did I forget to order the 3D glasses or something?

university of wisconsin instructor kevin barrett presented his opinion to students that cheney orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. one legislator is asking for barrett to be fired:
wisconsin state rep. stephen nass, (r-whitewater), issued a statement demanding barrett be fired immediately, calling him an embarrassment and accusing him of spewing "garbage.''

"mr. barrett is free to stand on the street corner and advocate his nutty left-wing views. However, the taxpayers and tuition-paying families shouldn't pay this man one cent to perform his voodoo in a UW classroom,'' nass' statement read.
_______________________________________________

agree or disagree? should barrett be fired? should nass just pipe down? why?

I am looking for a good male Arabic name for my soon to be son..he is half-arab, half-american.. I would prefer something a little unusual but easy to pronounce. (No offense, but Muhammed, Mahmoud, Ahmed and their derivatives are nice names, but a little too common..) Any suggestions?

Quran: verse 4:156-159 "That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjunction to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them.

Gospel of Judas: "But you wil exceed all of them, for you will sacrifice the man that clothes me."

Curse me or deny it all you please, but the truth of the matter is that Judas was probably singled out and picked on by the other apostles out of jealousy and misunderstanding.

I think many of you simply don't want to know the truth, even if it struck you on the head as lightening. To profess a 'need' for a Saviour, to admit the fact that you can't be saved on your own or that all the gibberish that has been forced down your throat from High School and College professors all these years is a bunch of bunk for many is too big of a pill to swallow.
The truth is the Bible predicts that many will still reject God in the end, even when the truth is as plain as day simply because as Tom Cruise said it " They can't handle the truth!"

I have read and learned about the Bible. I am a Christian and I havn't seen that anywhere. I mean Lot's daughters got him drunk and slept with him got preggers and God didn't do anything about it. Solomon had many concubines and mistresses- hmm no marriage there... in the Jewish custom back then it was considered ok to entertain your guests with offering your wife or daughters, Judah had sex with whom he thought was a prostitute but it was Tamar his daughter in law, Onan slept with his dead bros wife,. I could go on but what grounds support the statement of no premarital sex. I know of fornication but those acts up there negate the meaning of what fornication really is?!

I asked this question earlier but most people just said I shouldn't call God unfair. THIS QUESTION IS DIRECTED TO THOSE WHO THINK THEIR IS ONLY ONE PATH TO GOD AND TAKE THE BIBLE LITERALLY. What happened to the Native Americans and Aboriginal peoples who do had NO WAY of knowing of God's existance until Europeans contacted them. Did they go to Hell just because God didn't send them a prophet or messanger and, therefore, couldn't accept Christ? Or were they judged by their deeds? Please don't give me anything about "God has his reasons", what do YOU think?

I've blocked his numbers, his messages, everything...but my ex always has ways to come back to me...I took everyones advice and did this, and ignored, and its been 2 weeks....he hasnt gave up. He still is saying, he loves me...and that I am cheating.
This is the guy that says cheating is watching tv, going out, and etc. The other day I did a singing performance in front of lots of people, and he did everything he could, went there, and said Im a cheater, and that if i loved him I wouldnt do that.

i dunno what else to do, he hasnt gave up, all of u said he would. Hes getting worse, trying to contact me, showing up at my house, everything.

One day I hung out with a good guy friend, just as friends, and he called me a cheater, but the funny thing is he hung out with a girl.

I need help what to do, i dont deserve this.;..Im listening to God, and doing everything. Im praying like crazy, and just praising God.

What do i do next?
