Society & Culture - 29 August 2006

Islam considers all life forms as sacred. However, the sanctity of human life is accorded a special place. The first and the foremost basic right of a human being is the right to live. The Qur’an says about the one who kills an innocent person: “….it would be as if he killed the whole of mankind: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole of mankind.” [Al-Qur’an 5:32]

Such is the value of a single human life; the Qur’an equates the taking of even one human life unjustly, with killing all of humanity. Thus, the Qur’an prohibits murder in clear terms.

My question was NOT "Is murder ok"

My question is if someone follows the concious that God gave them, and they are under the impression that acts they've commited served God/Allah/etc even though most of us believe otherwise, did they sin?

- If someone murders because they truely believe they are doing the right thing and what God wants, have they sinned? (and YES, the bible does say non-believers should be killed in Chronicles, Jeremiah, and Deuteronomy)

- If someone marries several women because they believe its what God wants, have they sinned?

or better yet

- If someone protests a military funeral because they hate gays, and believe that this is what God wants them to do...have they sinned?

Just because a woman might look nice, that doesn't give us men a right to touch her, unless she gives us permission. In other words western men have to control themselves by law.
If western men can control themselves why can't muslim men, and let their women dress a little more freely?

I'm not sure if the "begetting" part is considered humor.

In a teacher letter sent home to my family, the teacher keeps using this and we don't think it is a word and it isn't in any dictionaries.

There's and electrolysis ad I see for a tweezer with a small charge for only about thirty dollars.
I wonder if it will really work for men's facial hair though.
I see from the ad that it is meant for women's facial hair..

Are religions early attempts to make sense of our place in the Universe? Now that we have modern science, will these religions die out given enough time? Is it okay to to distort your view of reality through religion even if it's not truth if that distortion of reality results in happiness and more productivity?

It is NOT a religious call - but a human one. Can you ignore this? Can you honestly say you feel nothing?

"There is no god in all the earth, but in Israel." (2 Kings 5:15)

"You (children of Israel) are a holy people unto the Lord your God, The Lord has chosen you to be a special people that are upon the face of the earth." (Deuteronomy 7:6)

Some of the sayings attributed to Jesus seem to reflect this attitude. When a non-Jew Samaritan asks him for help he refers to them as dogs. Jesus also stated that he was only sent to the lost sheep of the Children of Israel. Interestingly, the passage where he is supposed to have told his disciples to "go unto the nations" is not to be found in any of the most ancient manuscripts and is now considered spurious.

Jesus said there is none other name under heaven whereby we must be saved." when i got Jesus in my heart i didnt have to lie anymore-ok sometimes i dont get a candy bar-but im happier and i dont get caught lyin-what is better-im happier without a candy bar with Jesus than i was when i lied to get stuff-even when i got it.

i had to ask him to be my Messiah, savior and all that stuff-and He did it

i prayed, Jesus im sorry for my sins -come into my heart and help me, be my friend as u said you would, amen

Jesus said he would come into our life in Revelation 3vs19and 20 Behold i stand at the door and knock, if you let me in to forgive sins, i will come in and be your friend."

so what r u going to chose a candy bar you lied to get or Jesus and real truth and a best friend and alot of good stuff like peace and inner joy and help and everwhat

ok answer the question please -i hope i gave u some stuff to learn about cause it gave me alot of stuff to learn about even better
