If you believe in something you cant see, then how do you know about your ancestries? They lived along time ago. Are they something not to believe in either? God is REAL!!

1. How many years after the death of Muhammad do we find actual manuscripts of the Qur’an? Why is this a problem?

2. Why should we at least be able to find fragments of the Qu’ran from a much earlier date? Why is this a problem?

3. What is the Talmud and why is not considered to be “inspired” by Jews or Christians?

4. What is the problem regarding the “Talmud” accounts in the Qur’an? Why does this invalidate the Qur’an?

I know this could be asked elsewhere but my interest is mainly with our community.
I, Catriona Isobel Rose P was with my beloved Gwenneth B for 42 years. We had our tributes, flowers with breakfast in bed for birthdays, gifts of plants for our garden. Caring and sharing household duties and particularly supporting each other in the face of ignorance and hostility. At our office one bright young thing said "Oh look, here come the spinsters ! Couldn;t get a man to save themselves!" Gwen smiled and asked "Well fellow spinster are we as one?"
The one occasion of which I am deeply ashamed was my visit to
her grave. I had been away on long leave and she had died from a virulent cancer. Her lovely family had claimed her remains and buried them under a stone bearing "UNKNOWN TO GOD". I failed Gwen in that I could not change this. I can only hope that what held us together will let her forgive me. My dearest on earth, give me your kiss. Rose P.

Is it walking in all the signs of the fulness of time, casting out devils, healing the sick, reading people thoughts (finishing others sentences), performing miracles and raising the dead and then walking away as if God never existed?

Before I tell you what my problem is, I should first say that this question is not really about religion, but it has some significance.

For the past months I have been tormented by this dillema. In my school, these bunch of guys (7 to be exact) all want to go out with me! They follow me around like dogs,and asked me out like a hundred time! I don't like anyone of them (not them as individuals but to take them as boyfriends.) It's wrong to date in my religion until your 20 and I'm only 17 and half. Those guys are crazy and they just won't leave me alone! They're driving me insane with constant compliments and callings..... ugh! I had enough of them! I don't know what to do? I don't want to hurt their feelings either, because GOD doesn't like that! What should I Do??

Defining God ?

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God, a trinity of relationships.

This is pure original research and that is the thesis that God the alpha and the omega is [ ], or 'nothing'. But saying nothing defeats its existence, suggesting that 'nothing' in the pure sense existed only in the beginning and will exist in that pure state in the end.

While this is a parameter for God, this does not describe or define it except in some minor logical parameters.

To prove God exists, moving beyond the argument that incredible probability of complex organizations and con-incidences is based on some 'great powers', the existance of God can be proven by proving that the 'devil' exists. There is a mathematical concept that deals with this relationship, it might be in the arena of 'relations', but here is the argument.

The Bible, shares one story with all three major religions, Muslims, Christians and Jews, and that is the deception of the garden of eden, where mankind was deceived by the devil. A somewhat unbelievable story, except for the interesting reality that there is a negative side to truth that has gone undetected since time began...or at least since human time began, and that is that a truth, that is part of the truth can lie, or in biblical terms
a fruit from the tree of knowledge while still true, ignores the reality of all the other fruit still on the tree.

To say that God is nothing, is somewhat in error, for nothing does not exist in that pure state anymore, since we have something. This raises additional questions, as to where is something relative to nothing and other questions that still leave something to the imagination.

it seems as though it has become more popular to wear less clothes, and unpopular to dress modest. the muslim womens dress, is not much different than, mother theresa dress or how mary the mother of jesus dressed....so what is the problem really? must we get naked to be cool?

I am an American living in Mexico and teaching English to Mexicans in my pueblo. My charge is very low. I stated out with 11 students and little by little they started not coming to class. I teach 3 days a week with 3 hour sessions. The students have been learning very well and seem to really enjoy the class. We play games, have videos, sing songs, as well as learning basic English and conversation. My students range in age from 11 to 18. But, every now and then, someone will just quit coming. I am down down to 3 students. I have been doing this since September 21. My students are learning very rapidly and I feel I am successful. But, can't understand why they don't stick with it. I have talked to other American English teachers here and they had the same experience. Does anyone know from experience or otherwise what the problem is? I charge only 100 pesos ($10.00) per week per person, so my fee is very reasonable. If anyone has any suggestions, I welcome them. I am about to give up.

I was once so in love with this guy that I couldn't see straight, but over the time period things happen and I end up getting hurt very badly. It's been a little over 3 months now, and I recently started praying more and more. I've asked God for strength and to take my pain away. I do understand that God is everything and without him were nothing. Now I'm starting to think I'm at peace with my newly single life. Is this the beginning of the healing process? Any other helpful advice, some days are still very hard

I'm Christian first of all and I want Christian responses. Why do we worship Jesus when Jesus himself worshipped God? He even said to worship God and he was his son. Like I know a common response would be the trinity. Could someone please explain to me the trinity and where it is said in the bible about the trinity. i know the word itself is not mentioned but I know that it's implied. Thanks.

A new study shows that blue-eyed men tend to prefer blue-eyed women. Apparently eye color can reveal whether your partner has been faithful! Do you believe that?
