Is there anything I could learn from them? I would be interested having a look there, but everyone warns me not to go there and that they are really dangerous.

In Judaism, the newer a copy of the Torah is the more valuable and therefore considered more accurate.
For NT believers, the older a translation is the more accurate it is.

Read below. Its a discussion between a muslim and a christian in a chat room. It gets cut off near the end because the muslim had to go.

Matt: Is there any evidence that the Quran is from God?
Abdul: Yes
Matt: What evidence is there?
Abdul: None can make a verse / ayah of Qur'an. That's the evidence.
Matt: Excuse me, but that is no evidence.
Abdul: Well.
Matt: Merely stating it, doesn't make it so. Would it not be better to have some extraordinary evidence or miracles to validate the supernatural quality of the book?
Abdul: No. Muslims hear & obey. They hear Allah & Rasool and obey.
Matt: You mean, we are to have no evidence of anything extraordinary when extraordinary claims are made? So, if I made an extraordinary claim that God spoke to me, should you then simply believe it or would you rather have some proof?
Abdul: Yes. Just you have to accept & obey when its from Allah / Qur'an
Matt: Which? Would you merely accept what I said or would you want some evidence that what I said was true? Which?
Abdul: Please read the Qur'an fully insha allah you will get every evidence.
Matt: May I say something?
Abdul: Ok
Matt: The Bible has a great deal of evidence to support it: archaeology, fulfilled prophecy, etc.
Abdul: Ok
Matt: It claims to be the self-revelation of God and it is accompanied by extraordinary events and many miracles. For example, Moses parting the Red Sea, Enoch going to heaven, Jesus walking on water, etc.
Abdul: Look. It was also from Allah. But it was changed. Now only Quran is unchanged
Matt: Why should I trust the Quran over the Bible?
Abdul: Look
Matt: If you say it has been changed, how do you know it has been changed?
Abdul: Quran has also this type of evidence.

If they only say Quran is right and the OT and NT are flawed due to translation and editing errors, What parts of the OT and NT are truthful? Are there any Muslims who can answer this without quoting the Quran? What is the title of the correctly translated OT and NT?

She said she found gay pornography on their home computer and it could only be her husband, the pastor viewing it.

Should I report him to the elders or attempt on my own to convert him back to hetrosexuality?

For years I have struggled to seperate my work life from my home life. I have moved several times (small town) and have a silent phone number (which is unplugged most of the time). I work 11-12 hour days, 5 days per week. I have told my fellow workers not to come to my home for work matters loudly, many times. They just keep doing it. Today, Sunday at 6.30 am there was a yell at the door again! I'm at my wits end as to what to do. Help?

The big bang theory might be true. If somebody could prove the universe came before God, God wouldn't exist, right. Could somebody please tell how the gases that formed the big bang got there.

Clearly aware of the sensitivity of the issue, Benedict added, "I quote," twice before pronouncing the phrases on Islam and described them as "brusque," while neither explicitly agreeing with nor repudiating them.

The "I QUOTE" or the "BRUSQUE"?

I'm no fan of Benedict, but I do believe he may have been deliberately misunderstood, & probably severly misquoted.

This girl and me were really close, we would stay up till 12 in the mornin talkin sometime, now that mite not be alot, but it is for her, she is homeschooled, I go to public school. Well I asked her to the movies, and she said Idk maybe , and REALLy backed off, she seemed nervous around me, I thought she just didnt wanna hurt my feelings, but she told her friends, she just wants to see if I can stick with her. Well we got further and further apart, until I couldnt stand it anymore and I emailed her, spilled my guts, and asked her to be brutally honest on how she fealt about me, heres what she said

well first of all, I don't hate you. second, I haven't been avoiding you either becuase its not been just swimming that I've been busy with its been life.I also haven't been beating around the bush because you never asked me if I did or not. But I haven't ever thought of being more than friends with you because we've always been good friends and I think thats how things should stay.I just don't want to ruin a friendship.hope you've had a good day, and i will talk to you later

Now, When I read that two things come to mind. One, that she is just trying to be nice. But on the other hand, she is just scared, because she has never had a bf b4, and weve been friends since age 7.

But now she seems more comfortable around me, like now she talks more, and seems more comfortable, but then she'll seem like she wants me, I can tell by the way she looks, and the way she acts, she just seems really sad, and down,

Oh yeah, and she told her mom , that she is just really really scared, and that she does like me, but she told her friends she just dont want to hurt my feelings, now her and her mom are really close, but so are her and her friends, Do you think she likes me, or is just letting me down easy?

And I am respecting her wishes, I emailed her and told her that I respect her decision, and we havent talked about it since.

But I really really do care for her, I wake up and she's the first thing I think about, I go to sleep and Fall asleep thinking about her. I mean I know I'm only 15, but I really do love her, and would do anything in this world to be with her. I've tried moving on, I've been trying to do that, but I just can't. Even though I am am guy, yes I have cried numerous time for her, and about her. I mean, I'm not ugly, I'm fit, and I'm not a big geek or anything, so what gives? I really do love her, what should I do?

Yes! According to the history of Romania. Dracula was the Wallachia (Medieval Romania) king. His historical name was Vlad Tepes (Vlad Sliver). He was born in Sighisoara. He would take his enemies and thiefs and place their bodies over a sliver of wood and let the blood drip out. This Vlad didn't have anything to do with vampires. Castle Dracula exists. It used to be called Bran Castle in the year 1367. They also have a Dracula Amusement Park. Would such a park work in California? Universal Studios was thinking about one.

...allegedly, I have a choice to love god or not.

If I freely love god, I get to go to heaven. If I don't, he promises me hell.

Isn't that a little like someone saying "you can love me of your own free will, or you can take a bullet from this gun"?

How does trying to coerce me into loving him by promising me hell if I don't translate into "free will"?

At least if I don't choose to love a particular lady she doesn't toss me into the bonfire for eternity (at least, not a sane lady).

Perhaps it would be easier to love your god if he weren't promising eternal damnation for those who freely choose not to love him.

When god says "love me or else...", it doesn't exactly sound like he gives a damn about people freely choosing to love him, does it?

Isn't that all we need in the way of religious instruction. If there is a God, we'll be alright. If not, we're no worse off.

God is everywhere, so they say, so god must be here on YA R&S, if such an entity exists. It is unlikely that god would just be lurking, god would want to explain its plan to us, and what we must do to execute it. This is an ideal forum for god to do it. So if god exists and is not asleep, it follows that god is one of us. Who might it be? Some rules: best answer will not go to a self-nominee; anyone with a screen name of god, holy spirit, Allah, Jehovah or Jesus; or anyone nominating me.

he says


If your hand or foot causes you to sin , cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

Yes. He died on a cross, went to hell and back for you, and was raised from the dead and is now in heaven wanting you to accept what He so painfully went through to offer you salvation. He cannot help it if you won't listen. I can beg my child and do everything in my power to try and stop them from doing something stupid, but if they are going to do it, they are going to do it no matter what I say, if they do not stop and listen, ultimately they will do it, unless they have a good relationship with me and know I love them and know what is best for them and listen and say Hey You're right, I know you love me, thanks for helping me not make a big mistake. Or they could rebel and say I don't believe you and suffer the consequences, but likely they won't do that if they have a good relationship with the parent and know the parent loves them. Which is exactly how it is w/God. HIS Children listen, because they, have a good relationship w/Him, and know that He loves them.
