see the prophecies in the bible it tells it all Isaiah 7vs 14 virgin birth sign =
God with us Isaiah 9vs 6 a son of God, to be the prince of peace, and God almighty and the wonderful counselor
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 He will be marred more than any man then he will be exaulted and made very high, but being marred -he will lay down his life as a lamb to make sacrifice for our sins and become our atonement.
abraham was told by God because he knew the Messiah would die for our sins-to sacrifice his son-thinking he must be the final atonement he was ready to do it-but God stopped him because on Jesus was without sin-and said-"I will provide myself a sacrifice for sins" and in the meantime gave him the sheep caught right then in the thicket to save abrahams son-so God could provide the pure sacrifice-himself coming down as his son

A lot of the things I want to do are rather strange and would require me to be wealthy to complete.

I was talking to a friend about what I want to do as a job and I mentioned teaching. She said "Oh! I want to teach too! Lets do it together!" She was all excited and ready to do it, when I realized it would mean abandoning everything else I have which feels reckless to me.

What are your dreams? Is there a way to realistically approach them, or is that why they are called "dreams?" Have you ever just given up on a dream?

According to the US Department of Defense terrorism is "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives.". Hazibollah are terrorists, but so is Israel according to the definition. Why America defends Isreal? Why people never say that Isreael is a terrorist?

There was a little boy picking up starfish and tossing them back in the ocean to save them. A man walked up and said,"You can't possibly expect to save the millions of starfish on thousands of beaches, how can you expect to make a difference?" and the boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean and said,"It made a difference to THAT one!" How can you and I make a difference today?

I've found lesbians to be far less likely to deny the existence of bisexuality. And I've never found one bi man who denies the existence of homosexuality in males.

Our former CEO, Dick Cheney had a vision - God wants Halliburton to run the world. That's why he and his friends - rigged an election, I mean - were democractially elected to run the White House. Thanks to Big Dick's vision we've expanded into the second largest oil reserves in the world. (Iraq) And the outlook is very bright indeed. (Can you say Iran, Syria and Lebanon?)

It is through our faith in Big Dick - I mean Jesus Christ, that we are able to bring expired - I mean healthy food to your US troops. We provide nothing but good old fashioned Christian values (and Taco Bell) to Iraq.

Won't you please pray to increase our profits and spread the divine word of free market capitalism?

Halliburton really could use your help. Please send your prayers and/or cash to Halliburton, Houston, Texas. God will thank you for it.

I asked a question last night about religious experiences and got responses from all different beliefs. I thought all of them were great. I think Love is the power of the universe. Love is the highest law. My love manifests itself in Jesus but I now see that maybe there are other ways too. I am asking today when you see someone who is different from you ( maybe even annoying) please see them as human and maybe do something nice or at least smile. then do something nice for you- you deserve it too. Peace.

I have read the Torah, numerous books on Jesus, and the Bible........when I read the Book of Mormon ( in great detail) God revealed to me that This Church is the anti-christ............

I know you don't believe me. Well, give it 10-15 years and you will see Mormons grow so large that your own kids will be Mormons. This is one of my prophecies. They will also claim a miracle that will trick many true believers and grow exponentially.

I’ve been thinking & would like thoughts from the wide range of views here.

Aristotle said that there are 2 parts to every action, the intention & the deed. Evil seems on the surface to be the act, but can we ignore intention behind it – if I try to help you but accidentally harm you is it evil?

So is evil the intention of evil & the evil act itself? What if we add further problems- where people disagree an act is good/evil but all involved believe they are doing the right thing? Examples being the Nazis who’s acts I consider horrific, yet at the time they did not believe themselves evil. There are many examples of this. A more subtle example is Iraq, everyone believes they are doing the right thing but the war is right/wrong based on perspective.

The split divides people of the same faith (Bush, Blair &many opponents are Christian). Another example (Im not here to Christian bash) are Muslims & their approval/disgust at various things done in Allahs name.

So what is evil?

Why Christians think they are above all so that they have to save a non Christian and save them from going to hell?
It is so ridiculous to me since I pity them for being so ignorant, simple and childish.

**** the last paragraph is so important (god will ask isa/jesus ......)
read that first

The wife of Imran (who is not named) gives birth to a girl, who is special in God's sight. She is named Maryam (Mary) and is assigned to the care of Zakariya (Zechariah). Maryam spends her time in her private chamber, where she is sustained by God. Zakariya questions her about this, and Maryam tells him about God's sustenance.

Later on, Maryam withdraws from the family to a 'place in the east'. While there she sees an angel, who appears as a man. This scares her, and she warns him not to come near her if he fears God. The angel tells her that he is actually a messenger from God, and that God has chosen her for the task of carrying a special son, who will be righteous, holy and will speak in infancy. The angel also reminds her to pray to God. Maryam asks how this can happen seeing as she is a virgin. The angel tells her that nothing is beyond God, all he has to say is 'Be' and it is.

God will teach the child all of the past books of wisdom and will give him a new one – the Injil (Gospel). When he grows up he shall go the Children of Israel (Jews) with a sign to make them believe: he shall make a clay figure of a bird, he will breathe into it and it will come alive.1 He shall also heal the blind, cure lepers and raise the dead.

After this visitation, Maryam retires to rest under a palm tree in a 'remote place' in order to give birth. The birth, though, is very painful and Maryam cries out in agony. A voice 'from beneath the tree' then tells her that God has provided a rivulet beneath her to drink from. The voice also instructs her to shake the palm tree and fresh dates will fall down for her to eat. It then tells her to remain silent and not speak to anyone.

Sometime after the baby, who is named Isa (Jesus), is born Maryam goes back to her people. They are amazed, and they ask how Maryam could disgrace her family and ancestors like this, as they think that she has had the child outside of marriage. Maryam is silent and points towards the baby, they mock her and say how can a baby in cradle speak. But Isa can speak, and he tells them he is a messenger from God, here to give revelation to the people. He says that he will be kind and charitable all his life, and that peace shall be with him, as he is strengthened by the Holy Spirit.


When Isa has grown up he starts to promulgate his message and wisdom. He tells the people that they should worship God, and God only. Isa also says that he is here to clear up religious and ideological disputes that the people have. Isa also gives 'glad tidings' of a certain Ahmad (Muhammad) who shall come in the future. He then asks the people who will come with him to help spread the message. The call is answered by the people who will become al-Ansar (The Apostles – they are not named). They state that they are Muslims bowing to God. Later on, Isa is with al-Ansar. They ask him to get God to produce a table set with viand for them. Isa rebukes them by telling them that they should fear God if they have faith. They reply by saying that they only want to eat and be witness to a miracle, so that they can be certain that Isa is telling them the truth. Isa asks God to produce a table set with viands, and God agrees to it,


but he warns them that if any of them don't believe in him after the miracle then they shall suffer a terrible punishment. The table set is produced.
God later tells Isa that he shall be raised up to him away from those who blaspheme (i.e., Jews who reject him and Christians who make exaggerations and lies about him). Nevertheless, God says, those who blaspheme but still have belief shall be better off than complete unbelievers. Isa is 'raised up,' but he was not crucified , but 'so it was made to appear to them'.God also says that on the Day of Judgment Isa will rebuke those who blasphemed and told lies against him, and that he will tell them the truth about himself.


God will ask Isa if he had ordered the people to worship him and his mother, Maryam. Isa will respond: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it."

Hey I have been in a relationship for a little over a year now and for the past couple of months my partner won't have any sexual contact with me. When I ask her for anything... she says "I am just not feeling it" ... And when I ask her if she is happy or if she wants to be with someone else she says that she is happy and no she doesn't want to be with someone else. Now I understand that people have different sexual needs but it wasn't like this. You don't go from being a sexual being into not desiring anything. She holds me every night when we sleep and will hold my hand or give me a peck every once in a while but where did she go? Should I just give up and move on? HELP
