The Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption! "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it (i.e., the bible) into a LIE. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws, that they had turned the Bible into a lie!

The only thing I heard from any Muslims after 9/11 is about their religion, the Quran and how peaceful they are. I think most Muslims just don't care about it and some rejoiced when Twin Towers destroyed.

Chriatians give credit to the Jews, and will often say I worship the God of israel God of the Jews, But Muslims dont they done even admit that, the land of Israel, belongs to the Jews. Muslims worship a Idol in Mecca, and that stone has a temple, called the kabba

Jesus said,"I have come not to call the righteous, but the sinner to repentance". Did you know... God loves us so much He sent His Son Jesus to this earth to pay for our sins so that whoever puts their trust in Him will not perish but have eternal life...?.. (Jn. 3:16)

Did you know we can be clean & free from the burden of guilt & condemnation of sin? The Bible says, "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness".

The Lord is compassionate toward us and very patient, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2Peter 3:9) Jesus is the lover of your soul...Will you return to him now and receive his mercy and grace. He wants to set you free from guilt & sin and give you perfect peace . Pray this prayer: Heavenly Father; I admit I am a sinner; I havegone astray. I repent of sin now, and return to you. Please have mercy on me, forgive me my sins and wash me clean. In Jesus Name. Amen.

in our church, worshippers claim that the Lord God is Jesus. I even heard it from our priest. But the bible says that God is Jehova? It is His name! But i wonder, no one in our family (which has been an active member of our church) knows about Jehova. I just wonder why? And almost the rest of the people in our community.Yes, they heard about the name, and that's all. That's all and no one cares! Honestly I never heard any priest speak this name during testimonies. Anyone could give me the EXACT explanation of this? I need to know and anyone with a situation like mine needs too.

First....let me give you background in what I believe and if you believe the same....please don't hesitate to answer. I believe that Jesus is the Son of the living God and that he gave his life for Me so that I may have eternal life.
Now on to the question.....what are some of the ways you've found effective for you to meet decent christian men who share your faith and who are able to take a spiritual leadership role in the home. Besides church....what other functions have you found are good places to meet people of like faith?

A rapist, a pedophile, a thief. Are you truly forgiving of them? I ask this because of a Human Services career I'm pursuing. I've come to realize that these people have had thier share of abuse & we shouldn't judge until we truly understand. My thoughts are...I don't have to like what you do to help you better yourself.
From a religious standpoint I realize these are all sinful activities...but does your faith allow you to forgive?

If i say that American generals have asked their soldierd to kill any veitnemese they encounter it would sound absured to you wouldn't it...? but they did...every general worth his salt would boost the moral of their soldiers by saying such stuff....and so did God through His book....If he had asked Muhammed (pbuh) to say it...people would have only condemed him....but if God himself asks his people to kill any enemy (ASKED TO DO THAT DURING TIMES OF WAR) people have to accept wouldn't they....and always God says in every verse to show ristraint but if forced to kill any enemy....so how can it mean Islam is a bloody religion....self preservation is essential...but certain christians...seem blind to the verses that ask muslims to feed the poor , that ask muslims to show and accept no cast or creed...the list is endless....they only seem to see the bloody parts...why...? are they scared of Islam...or is it simply that they have been brain washed to hate Islam...?

God says in the bible that you know if a prophet is fake if what he says doesnt happen. EVERYTHING that the Prophet Muhammad said would happen did happen.

eg.
He told a companion that he would go blind before he died
He told a companion the land that he would die
He said exactly how many years of the Caliphate there would be after him, and that Abu Bakr would rule for a short time. (he ruled for 2 years)

There are several other examples. would a fake prophet dare make so many predictions? this is not mention those in the qur'an (if you believe he wrote it)

eg. (qur'an)
"The Romans have been defeated, In the nearer land, and they, after their defeat will be victorious, Within a few years. With Allah is the Decision, in the past and in the Future: on that Day shall the Believers rejoice"
(this is exactly what happened. Ask someone who has studied ancient history how remarkable this prediction is. it is like if someone said in 1945 that the nazis would be victorious)

if god was so powerful, why didnt he just kill all wicked people like how he killed the man with the "eat drink and be merry" tag, or how he killed the innocent firstborn sons of exodus, or have noah's family kill all other people since it was so legal during the old testament times as we can see all over the bible.

This is only to Christians, Please.
If you are all going to heaven when you die, then how do you explain that the meek will inherit the earth? Explain Eccl.9:5---The dead know nothing. Explain Judgement day. Did God promise Adam a gateway into heaven, if he disobeyed or death? Wasn't it God's plan for mankind to live for ever on the earth, and isn't God the same God as in Adam's day? His ways do not change.
Just curious. THANXS
