if God words collected in a book called "Quran". and Muhammad words collected in a book called "Hadith" and if you compare the Quran with Hadith you will find alot of differences, it's absolutly not the same identity. then who sent the Quran?? especially that Muhammad can't even read or write, no way he could read the Bible or the Torah.

My friend and were talking about how Christians have divided over time and have never looked beyond what makes us different from what we believe. He wants to create a group called Faith in Action, which brings Christians together on the very foundation of what Christ asked of us, which was to follow his move in that we must help one another through acts of goodwill in that we put our hard work into something without asking anything in return. A major focus is to eliminate the barriers that divide Christians and the very concept of denominations in order to focus only on why we are Christians in the first place. This group would place focus on a life AGAINST materialism and luxury in favor of how the resources we gain can be used to help others, as well how to help us identify who we are as Christians who live by the teachings of Jesus. This would not be easy and as one who has issues with modern-day Christians, I want to know how one could make a change in how we see ourselves.

The Holy Bible says that if a third testament is written then it is not the word of Jesus or God but from the devil correct? If so, then why do Mormons say their book is the third book and read both the Holy Bible and their book, dismissing what the Holy bible says about that?
If you know please answer, thank you.

Just curious since I got some rather angry reactions to my last question about not wanting people to pray for my sister.

PS I know some Christians would be glad to have people of other faiths pray for them; but I have seen prayer requests here turn somewhat nasty because some Christians didn't want 'devil prayers' being said in the name of a Christian.

Apparently, there is a story about how we all came from one place in the beginning of time, and God seperated us into different religions/languages so that we couldn't go back.
a) do I have it right
b) if so, then are we supposed to learn this one lesson in life: merge, learn from eachother, with open arms and and open hearts or we can't go back?

acording to apple.com. It's origin is unknown, but it's used as a substitution cypher to protect writings (''magical writings from prying eyes'' to quote apple.com).

Is it a simple substitution cypher?

Does one simbol equal ''a'', the next equal ''b'' and so on?

Is it only used in english?

Is it kind of a standard, i mean, out of all the substitution cyphers is it the most commonly used?

Is it specifically wiccan/pagan?

Could you give me a link to the full Theban alphabet? (and if you could please do so)

thanks!

p.s. i'll probably only use it to write in my diary anyway, so none of these answers are crucial to my existence or anything. thanks again.

blessed be

(i'm not wiccan/pagan but i'm looking into it)

I think I am in the appropriate position to respond to his book, mainly because I am agnostic (I don't favor either side). I read SOME of the book, and Dawkins sounds too extreme about his beliefs. He makes it seem as though there is absolutely no possiblity in the world that a God may exist. Furthermore, when he attacks religions he does not take into consideration the answers that some of them have. For instance, evolution does not contradict Judaism because Jewish people believe that evolution had occured, that God placed the material to form life - and evolution took over.

But Dawkins does not take things like that into consideration. I could find way better arguments against God's existence than the ones he proposed...

I've noticed the liberal nonbelievers give Christians a hard time for fighting in wars throughout history. But don't they realize someone has to do it or we'd all lose our freedoms.

If world war three was to start right here in America would they understand then why we have to fight sometimes?

I'd think the liberal nonbelievers and most of the other minorities would run to Canada and Mexico leaving the Christians too fight for America again.

Whenever I do something wrong, I panic and start crying and pray for God's forgiveness. How do I get over this? :(

First: I am an atheist, not a Jew, but desperately need some Jewish insight.

About seven months ago, without adequate forethought, I scribed the Shema onto my dry erase board at work (and ended up asking about it then: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoC3iaus5vMVqkPPrioGCTZIzKIX?qid=20061229130224AAHTwSl ). I did so in response to research I had done on Mezzuzah, and found the custom strangely clicked with me despite my religious non-belief. As per the best answer to that question, I've simply left it on my board all this time, and have carefully repaired HaShem if it was damaged or partially erased (often by careless cleaning staff, I assume).

It has never been completely erased.

However, I find myself in a bind. In the next few weeks, I will likely be moving to a new job. I will not be able to repair or protect the writing.

Would it be more respectful to proactively erase it, or, to allow whoever replaces me to choose what to do with it?

Why are you considered a racist if you object to immigrants from underground groups from africa, but if you object to people coming from mexico or other european countries, youre not considered a racist?

Please don't post a degrading comment without first viewing ALL of the videos. If you do, it just shows me that you are a very unreasonable person who is unwilling to challenge their own views. You will be ignored.

The purpose is not to make anyone who believes evolution out to be an idiot, but to warn people that if they continue to believe this lie they are destined for hell.

If you're wrong, there's a lot more to lose than if I'm wrong. And I believe there is ample evident that the creationist point of view is the correct view. Please view ALL of the videos with an open mind.
