It seems as christains we have been hiding out there, afraid to say it loud and clear - It's Christmas , that's right Christmas- the birth of Jesus Christ - a time to reflect , amend , change, love each other, help each other, no matter what color, religion , gender etc. It is time to walk the path. It is not about the man made mess that men have made of the church originally established by Jesus, with the true message, we can change it back one by one, person by person. Just like the apostles denied Jesus, I think that in some ways we are doing the same; His message, salvation, do unto others as you would have done unto you ; not a tough message to understand or live. Stand up out there!! MERRY CHRISTMAS !! Your thoughts, comments

When the people at the airport get on their hand & knees to bless the plane? I also used to work with a guy who brought his religious mat or rug to work because he had to pray 5 times a day. Is that the same religion? Please don't leave bad comments about them, I'm just trying to become alittle more informed but respect everyone for their different beliefs. Thanks

The Dajjal isnt mentioned in the Quran but the are numerous hadiths from the prophet that tells us about him. Here is an ebook explaining the status of the Sunnah in Islam. Its very important to all muslims. The verse Surah (al an-'aam: 82)
"It is those who believe and mix not their faith with dhulm (wrong)-for them (only) is security and they are the guided ones".
The prophets companions understood dhulm according to its general sense, which includes every wrong even if it be small. This why they had a diffculty understanding the verse so they said, "oh messenger of Allah! which of us doesnt mix their faith with wrong?" so the prophet said, "it doesnt mean that, it only means shirk here. Didnt you hear Luqman say (surah Luqman, 13)
"verily shirk is a great"
Reported by sahih al bukhari, muslim and others.
Here is the rest of the book.

e.g. Pagan festivals and (slightly more notably) stuff to do with Mithras (a Sun God) - whose birthday is 25th December???

So, home much else about Christianity is stolen or "made up" from other sources???

My character's mother has just died in her arms. Her mother was very religious so she goes to her mother's church. Would a priest find it offensive for my character to put her mother's blood in holy water?

I'm trying to get the right affect here, but I am not a religious person, so I do not know.

I'm not going to say whether or not I want the priest to be offended...but your answers would REALLY help!

Oh and thanks for giving me something to post on FSTDT.com!

I'm not confused, atheist guy. God exists. He just doesn't bring presents to people, or take things away, or send plagues, and so on. I can't explain it, it's just natural.

Is it true that only the righteous are juged when we stand before the throne. To give an account of what we did in this life, good or bad.Kinda sorting out how big your reward is.
Is it true that the lost have pronouncement judged on them now in this life and reap there rewards at the end of this life?
In a sence if we are juged in the last day, are we not liveing in the last days. Are we not liveing and accounting for our lives now?
It just seems to me when we die we just recieve pronouncement.

I've grown so annoyed at people asking me what I am before my name. I've come up with a regular answer for them;
"I don't like answering that question because you only asked it so you could apply extra labels to me and stereotype me."
Of course they always claim that they won't stereotype me. But think about it. For what reason would my race matter if they weren't automatically going to apply labels to me?

If I said I was Hispanic they might assume I spoke Spanish, if I were Italian I might be a good cook. If I were mixed I would be a good catch for the black guys. If I were black I wouldn't be good enough for a white guy.

People apply standards to race, we all do. But I'm tired of people not realizing they do so. We associate certain characteristics with certain races without even knowing it. Whenever they claim they don't, I tell them I know they do because I'm a psy major and have studied the subject. But they still deny it.

Does this happen to any of you?

I work in retail, and it seems like all of this "Christmas Spirit" has evaporated this year. People are so rude and and abrasive to the people working in stores, yelling at them for things like when their credit card declines (how is that our fault?). I understand that this is a stressful time, especially if you are low on money, but why do people think ok to be jerks to us when this is supposed to be Christmas.

God by the very nature of God exists. To disprove God, one must end communication, because the word God is the only proof that is logically necessary to argue for God's existence. The word is God and God is the word. So, by believing in disbelief they proove that they acknowledge language whis is logically proving that they, in fact, believe (all though they claim not to) in God.
