To my thinking there isn't anything that resembles feminism in the Islamic faith but this may be a new movement I am not aware of.

In John 14: 30 says: "I shall not speak much with you anymore, for the ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me,"
In 1 John 5:19 says:"We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."
In Matthew 4 when Satan is tempting Jesus, he shows him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory and told him that he will give it to him if he does an act of worship to him, So in order for him to give that he would have to own it, right? So I think he is the ruler of this world, But what do you think? And since he is the ruler of this world, then how does the doctrine of Hellfire fit in all of this?

So let me get this straight....... The extemists in the islam religion are offended by what the pope has said...... They think he has said that Islam is a violent religion that is spread by the sword. So they protest by burning buildings, killing nuns, burning figures of the pope, threaten him and all the west and this proves their point how???? If you ask me they are horribly tainting their religion and if they looked at their history of killing innocent people or taxing them if they don't convert maybe they would agree with the pope.

If you are an Atheist answer me this one question or two?
1) How can you say there is no GOD when there is no proof that he doesn't exist!
2) What's the harm in believing in something good, and wanting a place to go after death. If (emphasis on IF) there is no God, if you die the outcome is the same, however if you were a Christian than you'd go to Heaven? Anyway what’s your thoughts?
My idea is if you're going to disprove a theory you must have evidence to back up claim, otherwise your "atheists" is a belief and not a fact!

of the Muslims, who with their mouths say" we are a peaceful religion", but with their actions prove that they are as full of the intolerance and evil as the Catholic Church during her reign of terror?
It makes no sense to say "we are peaceful" when in all actuallity, you Muslims are as insane as the hypocrites of Christendom.
You, not only kill each other Muslims(as Christians kill other Christians),you lyingly say that you are "peaceful".
Is there anybody on earth that you really think you are fooling?
(the Q is for both Muslims and Christians).

Islam is above criticism...its true...watch the Pope grovel. Where is Hirsam Ali, the brave dutch woman who spoke out against Islamic oppresion of woman in Africa? She is was forced to leave the government even though she was loved by the people.
Wheres the cartoonists? Hidden forever...never to have a normal life again...if they live! Its a fact that most Muslims still believe those cartoonists should be killed....its not even an issue for debate...and absolute for them.
Tell me, what journalist has the balls to do any analysis of any part of the hidden Islamic world? None do...none.
While all other beliefs get bashed and put through the free speech grinder...Islam remains untouched...thats a fact....
How many Christian bashing movies and musicals have been made (last temptation, J. Superstar)? All other religions and beliefs are regulared roasted, as it should be, except Islam.
Over the long run...thats a HUUGGGGE ADVANTAGE.
Blame the cowardly PC culture we live in.

The Self is one. Ever still, the Self is
Swifter than thought, swifter than the senses.
Though motionless, he outruns all pursuit.
Without the Self, never could life exist.

do you cherish your bible? do you read your bible?
if you cherish your bible, which often contains notes, thoughts and even family histories, then you are in the same boat as the Rcc. we too cherish that which makes our walk with God more visible.
when you read your Bible do you not get images in your mind? are you then creating a false image? words were given as a gift to portray the reality of images that were reality. words paint a picture - create a scene. pictures and scenes are images. in the past most Christians could not read, pictures helped them to understand, to remember & recall.
when my home flooded, while i was quite saddened by the loss of numerous "items" i'm thankful - i never cried. nothing of any consiquence was lost - neither a life nor my faith. things do not make ones faith, but some things can help you remember when (as humans it happens) we start to loose our way.
YSIC & God bless you all.

One of the first to articulate the theology in Christianity was St Paul whose reference to the Unknown God in the book of Acts (Acts 17:23) is the foundation of works such as that of Pseudo Dionysius. This is as Pseudo Dionysius so describes. Exemplars of the via negativa, the Cappadocian Fathers of the 4th century said that they believed in God, but they did not believe that God exists. In contrast, making positive statements about the nature of God, which occurs in most other forms of Christian theology, is sometimes called 'kataphatic theology'. Adherents of the apophatic tradition hold that God is beyond the limits of what humans can understand, and that one should not seek God by means of intellectual understanding, but through a direct experience of the love (in Western Christianity) or the Energies (in Eastern Christianity) of God. Apophatic theology can be also seen as an oral tradition. "It must also be recognized that "forgery" is a modern notion. Like Plotinus and the Cappadocians before him, Dionysius does not claim to be an innovator, but rather a communicator of a tradition." [1]
Negative theology played an important role early in the history of Christianity. Like in the works of Clement of Alexandria. Three more theologians who emphasized the importance of negative theology to an orthodox understanding of God, were Gregory the Theologian, John Chrysostom, and Basil the Great. John of Damascus employed it when he wrote that positive statements about God reveal "not the nature, but the things around the nature." It continues to be prominent in Eastern Christianity (see Gregory Palamas), and is used to balance kataphatic theology. Apophatic statements are crucial to much theology in Orthodox Christianity.
Negative theology has a place in the Western Christian tradition as well, although it is definitely much more of a counter-current to the prevailing positive or cataphatic traditions central to Western Christianity. For example, theologians like Meister Eckhart and St. John of the Cross (San Juan de la Cruz), mentioned above, exemplify some aspects of or tendencies towards the apophatic tradition in the West. The Cloud of Unknowing (author unknown) and St John's Dark Night of the Soul are particularly well-known in the West.
