Some of you ask some pretty dumb questions and show your ignorance about religion in general, Christianity in particular. Is it just to earn points? Or are you really that ignorant about God and His Son Jesus? America is supposed to be a Christian nation and yet there is so so much idolatry and unbelief in what really matters. We are only here for a short time and we are here not for our selfish selves but for God's pleasure. How many of you really know that and live by it? We are here to worship God, the one true LIVING God; no other god. We have become a pagan nation and we should all repent and ask God's forgiveness. Thank you all for costing me points (!) but I just get fed up with some of these questions.

I need to warn the authorities asap. also, the aliens were wearing these strange togas or something. and they looked like goldfish, except they could walk, and some of the powerful ones could hover. and they had very human looking hands, which was kind of odd, but also they threw ninja stars which went really really fast and returned to them like a boomerang.

Just a few days ago we read about Blackberry users doing TOO much work; now we read about Slackers at work "all play and no work."

What's the deal, the happenings, your feedback?

I am so tired of having people sympathize with me and do nothing. For example, "I saw you walking in the rain the other day, you were really wet, why were you out in the rain?" duh, I didn't have a choice, and why didn't they offer me a ride. Or oh that sounds dangerous, hope you get home safely instead of can I give you a ride and make sure you get in safely. I think it is just wrong to see some one in a dilemna in which you could help and then just say, oh you poor thing. Why do people do this?

No one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what his law commands. For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it. But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight—not by obeying the law by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us.

Do you know all that crap they're saying about him in the Bible? I am p*ssed!!! They're saying he's like a whiny baby and he kills people for no good reason! And homophobic too! Jeez, if the cool people here can get over the varient sexuality of some folks, you'd think God could handle it no problem...that's how I know it's not true. I don't believe a word of that bologna about Papa Perfect!

Just the impression I get from the way I hear people say it in every day life, or the way it's couched in a sentence... such as "No, you are wrong and you are going to HELL because of it!" To me, that statement shows a certain amount of satisfaction on the part of the person saying it. They feel they are in the right and anyone in the wrong deserves to be punished.

So, do these people saying these things enjoys it?

first i have to say that quran was revealed to prophet mohammad who couldn`t read or write 1400 years a go in arabia.<< **this part can be interesting for Christians and the Jewish :It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12 :"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.">>
the spritual and moral content and the devine beauties of the quran is so attractive that most people become muslims because of
the strong love between themselves and the one god(god of ibrahim, jesus,moses and others who is one god and has no partners or son or daughter), it is a book that when recited moves people to tears. a book that is memorised completely by millions of people
but some people are after proofs , they cant have faith easily, they are after signs
if you are like them,I want to share with you just some of the many many miracles of the quran.

WORD REPETITION IN THE QURAN

keep ind that quran is considered by arabs whether muslim or NOT as the greatest piece of arabic literature, and and it was impossible to just add or delete words in order to get these balances.

The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur'an and the word "sea" 32 times,
If we add up the total words of both "sea" and "land" we get 45 , the calculation:
32/45 X 100% = 71% = percentages of Water (Sea) in the world
13/45 X 100% = 29% = percentages of Land in the world

The statement of "seven heavens" is repeated seven times. "The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)" is also repeated seven times.

"Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month" (shahar) is 12.

The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26

The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur'an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.

When we count the word "Say," we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase "they said."

The number of times the words, "world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (akhira) are repeated is also the same: 115

The word "satan" (shaitan) is used in the Qur'an 88 times, as is the word "angels" (malaika).

The number of times the words "man" and "woman" are repeated in the Qur'an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.

The word "salawat" appear five times in the Qur'an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day

*****look at the complete list of word repetitions in the link for mathematical miracles below***

IF you want more miracles

2- Embryology in the Quran link:
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/DailyPrayerEngHTML/EmbryologyInTheQuranEng.htm

3-Holy Quran and The Lowest Part of the Earth
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/HTML%20DailyPrayers/The%20Holy%20Quran%20mentions%20the%20lowest%20part%20of%20the%20earth%20and%20states%20that%20it%20is%20near%20Jerusalem.htm

4-or in the qoran it is said that the universe is ever expanding which has been proven in recent years

5- it said there is cure in eating bee`s honey and it has been proven by doctors that honey has this effect

6-it said that sun and moon are rotating and it has been proven that they are rotating around their axeses

7-it is also mentioned that the earth is egg-shaped, not spherical, a fact which was recently discovered;

8-it empfesizes that God will put together in perfect order the very tips of our fingers in the day of judgement when he recreates our bodies, and recently
sientists discovered that fingerprints are unique to ones identity, yet the Holy quran empesized that 1400 years a go.
"Does man think that WE Cannot assemble his bones? Nay, WE are able to put Together in perfect order The very tips of his fingers."

http://www.harunyahya.com/miracles_of_the_quran_01.php

dont forget that qoran says that christianity and judiasm was from
god too but prophet mohammad was the last prophet for mankind ,who had the
the same message that jesus and moses and abraham and other propohets had.
and that is to worship one god without partners.

*to non-muslims: what do you say about the miracles( they are too many to be coincidenses )?
* to muslims : why do they ignore the clear facts and proofs?

here is a link to some famous scientists point of view a bout the miracles in the quran.
