I read this a lot, people telling stories about converting right before death, just to be sure. It's an interesting concept to me, simply because I can't make sense out of it.

Assuming that a God exists, would God really fall for it? And if so, what would and extra 10 minutes matter? 10 minutes later the person has died, and will face Peter. Why not convert then? What is the difference in these 10 minutes?

The teaching of the Prophet Jesus Peace be upon him, contradict the teaching of the Trinity, the Bible even after being tampered with still opposes and objects the Trinity, this is a sign from you One and True Creator that if only you were to look and think you would not be deluded from the truth, let us look at the teaching of Jesus, and the many verses in the Gospel:
In Matthew 19:16-17
“And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” And he said unto him, “Why callest thou me good? (There is) none good but one (i.e.) God, but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.”
In the above verses we note this acknowledgment of his submissiveness (to Allah’s Will)
In Matthew 21:45-46
“And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parable, they perceived that he spoke of them. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude because they took him for a Prophet.”
Here it is proved that all th

I supposed they would have been, since I've seen a black couple have a very light-skinned child (looked white). But I've never seen or heard of a white couple having a very dark child.

...and would you feel that this has a bearing on the legitimacy of religion in general.

This question is for Christians, Muslims, Atheists or whatever.

im a 17 year old junior in high school, and at my school theres this one kid who nobody has really said a word to since about 7th grade. i think its cause he is anti-social but everyone else says its cause he is a jew. we live in a predominantly german town and some peoples views still havent changed. i cant befriend him because people would be angry with me, but i kinda feel bad seeing him alone all the time, and i also feel bad when people call him racial slurs. im not big enough of a person at this point in my life to stand up to them so i just make fun of him too, oh well its his fault for being jewish i guess. are there any possible solutions for this situation?

When people question me about my beliefs, I really have nothting to back it up with other than the Bible. I am not saying the Bible is not good it is just that they come back and ssay "Whose to say the Bible isn't just another book that people wrote?" Then I do not know what to say. I am looking for ways to prove or explain to them why I believe what I believe.

Serious answers only please. If you don't believe that's your choice but please keep your comment to yourself.

I'm so new to a lot of religious stuff so...
Is it possible that GOD creatated early man and that man EVOLVED into a modern form of man?
Is it possible to believe in both or am I just way off?

Bill, our cat children and I want to move to the Pac-Northwest (Oregon or Washington State) in 5 years when we pay off our home. We are looking for a nice city that is tolerant of Universalists, Buddhists, animal lovers, old hippies and ecology-philes. We would also love to find a place that has a bit more of the four seasons...not hot all year and humid like San Antonio, Texas where we live now but also not rainy 300 days out of 365. Thanks for all of your input. Blessings to all of you!

would God give credit for effort? Whose fault is that? Will he/she go to hell?

Please don't say "try harder." That's not an answer.

This is a serious question, because as a child I never felt this in my evangelical church and it is one of the main reasons I became an atheist.

if a woman demands equality, and she hits you, is it not an insult to hit her back?

if one of my buddies smacks me, i can smack him back without worry. so if a woman who is demanding to be treated as an equal smacks me, isn't it ok to smack her back? by not doing so, aren't i insulting her intelligence and her physical capability, not to mention the hypocrisy that i would cause by not treating her equally?

and if a woman really hits you out of anger, with full force, and you are sure she wants to be treated equal, cant i reciprocate with a full force blow, as she dealt to me?

when does it become a hipocrisy?
