Archelogy of the region leaves no question whatsoever. All the rituals of Islam, bowing to the kabba, hajj, stoning the devil, etc...were all practiced by the pagans before Islam.

Muslims respond by saying "Ibrihim came before the pagans and set up these practices".How absurd. These pagans were the FIRST CIVILIZATIONS!! There were no other civlizations before them!!

Research it >>>

Did the pagans Arabs worship the sun, moon and the stars? Yes

What were some of the names/titles? Sin, Hubul, Ilumquh, Al-ilah.

Was the word “Allah” derived from “al-ilah?” Yes
Was the pagan “Allah” a high god in a pantheon of deities? Yes.

An American Woman married to a Muslim man (visit her website) writes: I can't tell you how many times I heard that phrase, over and again, from well-meaning friends, when they found out I was going marry a *gasp!* Muslim! I was also warned that he was just marrying me for a green card. To add insult injury, when I was planning a trip to Pakistan with my baby and to meet my husband's family, I heard all the "Not Without My Daughter" horror stories. "Aren't you afraid they'll try to take your baby?" I would ask, who do you mean by "they?" The Government of Pakistan? The general populace? My husband's family? Are you telling me that my husband's family exists to totally screw me over and take my son? People have always been afraid of what they don't understand. To make things worse, the perception of Muslims and Islam in western society has been totally skewed by movies and the media.

"Glass Houses". We all know the adage, "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones." When you hear someone say something to the effect that "muslims don't treat their women well," then it's time to say, "Oh, and Americans do?" Here are some statistics on spousal (or significant other) abuse, murder, and rape that men commit against their women partners, here in America, in the twenty-first century.

No, I didn't make that up.

Actually it was a quote by Bart D. Ehrman who is one of the greatest bible scholars in the world. (I think he is Professor Emetrius in University of North Carolina) In his lecture CD, Historical Jesus, Bart commented that telling Jews Jesus is the messiah is like telling a modern day American that David Koresh is the lord of the universe.

First of all, realize that even in the Old Testament, tithes were paid with herbs in most cases. Now in the New Testament IICorinthians 9:7
I Corinthians 16:2
Matthew 23:23
II Corinthians 11:7,8
II Corinthians 8:15 Check these verses to give me your opinion. I believe in taking care of the Church with the money taken up, but I also believe that someones going to have to answer for all the money in the Church's bank account, as families and children do go hungry, without proper clothing, and mistreated while the church pads the seats and do all sorts of things involving money like sports going out to Mcdonalds etc. Read Matthew 25:34-40

The dream, a group of people publicly announced on television that they found jesus, and the group was an official government leader. They had jesus reveal all the mysteries about everything publicly inquired about and did some hands on healing. The leaders then said jesus was in approval of what they were doing.
The flip side of the dream was that Jesus was like the manchurian candidate and taught reiki, shapeshifting, mediumship, and spiritual alchemy.
It seemed like they wanted to get someone's attention.
Crazy dream.

I have had this coin for a while now, and am unable to find out any information about it. I believe the style to be either Chinese or Korean. The front of the coin it says "Ten Cash" across the bottom...but barely, if I hold it at an angle.

Any Ideas?

I learned in school that we're supposed to ask questions on things that we DON'T understand. It's like asking someone's opinion on a issue just so that you can argue the validity of your own seemingly well-developed idea of the issue. Within the Body of Christ, do we mean to do this intentionally or is it by happenstance when it comes to asking spiritual questions?
