Jesus (pbuh) stated that he is not worthy to clean the shoes of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as mentioned in the Gospels of Barnabas. God has elevated Muhammad (pbuh) to the highest station of any human being. Those who insult and reject the Holy Prophet will be in for the shock of their life when they find out that even Jesus (pbuh) will disown them for their filty words about his beloved Master. But they will reap what they sow in the afterlife.

Maybe its just because I have never believed in something as profoundly as some people, but I have always wondered whether or not religion is a good idea. The wars that we have been fighting for so many years have mostly been due to religion, and I feel that if we are to ever have world peace, we need to start with sorting out the religeous differences that exist. What does everyone else think? Don't criticise me for my view, it is a serious question.

There are many definitions of what the Church is called to do and be: this quesition is applied to the position that the Church is the only transforming agency wrought by the new birth filled with the Spirit to transform culture, to be the light of the world where ever she may be found.

This sounds like nonsense to me. You could say that they are more likely to have social problems if they come from a family with a history of social problems but to stigmatise a child before it is born is rather Orwellian.

In asking this to speak of Christendom as a whole is fraught with idolatry, like that of ancient Israel, and like that nation before they were cast into captivity. Worshipped God, but also worshipped others gods (idolatry) as well - so be honest with yourself and search in your heart - what is the idols you keep there? The question is posed because we as a people have become powerless to transform culture where we are at. What do you see as those idols that we need to cast out of our hearts.

If we accept that it's impossible to have total knowledge of the existence or non-existence of God - and thus take it upon ourselves to suspend judgement - should we do the same about dragons too? Unicorns? The Loch Ness Monster? Christian piety?

Okay, I'm agnostic myself but what the hell. Let's be critical in our approach to everything, right?

If you answer, give detail and then again try to read the verses. Yes, ofcourse he would have been mentioned because there are many false prophets have been described.

I feel there is nothing like GOD-HUMAN-DEVIL. Infact these all are one and the same. Every human being is GOD, Human and Devil by their actions, thoughts, words and most importantly the control of the mind.

As per Hindu Mithology ....

Swami Sankaracharya has first preached the doctrines of adwaaitha (GOD and the human being being one and the same). He himself was tested by LORD Shiva by taking the form of shepeard who would be asked by Sri Sankaracharya to get out of his way and then Lord Shiva questions him as "Do you want me or the divinity in me to get out of the way?".

During the Treta Yuga (The reign of Lord Rama), people were segregated as Rakshasa, Devatas and Manavas based on their qualities and deeds. Lord Rama himself fought against the rakshasa King Ravana.

During Dwapara Yuga (The reign of Lord Krishna), the rakshasas have come in as brotherin. The Pandavas fought againt their own brotherin (Kauravas - Raksharas).

I know the Qu'ran says that everyone should believe in Allah as the true and only God. And that thoes who don't believe this will be sent to hell on judgement day. My questions is are the tarriest actual Muslims? Do other Muslims think they are doing God's work too? Or are they bad people who should be killing other. That they will also be sent to hell with the non-believers? I seriously just want to know. No mean answers please.
