Does this help you understand it at all?

"Questions 5:

Did the Meccans worship the true God since they recognized "Allah" ? Was "Allah" one of the gods of the Ka'bah? And if so, where did the Meccans derive the recognition and the name of "Allah" from?

Answer:

First, "Allah" was not one of the 360 idols which were in the Ka'abah, although Morey has claimed this without evidence. When the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) entered Meccah victorious he went into the Ka'abah and broke the idols therein.

Second, the word "Allah" has been used all along for the name of "God" in the Arabic Bible for Jews and Christians alike. The proof is easy to verify; simple go to any hotel or motel on the earth and look in the drawer next to the bed and take out the complimentary Bible, placed there by the Giddeons and then look on page 5 or 6 where they list the examples of translations they have made into other languages. The second example given is for Arabic speakers.

I think our society places way to much value and importance on sports. I've always hated jocks because they act cocky and bully people and are treated like gods by everyone because they play a sport. Jocks have always been known to be extremely violent and cause physical harm to people, and have been known to rape girls as well. They have also been known to get away with this. Is it true that jocks physical hurt people and rape people and get away with it?

We've been apart many times--we both work in moving pictures and I also work in television and on the stage. It is part of our lives that there are often unfriendly distances between us. So...why do I miss her so much now? For three weeks she's been in Europe shooting a picture. I'm freaking coming apart. She's all I can think about. Get a grip, you old talking donkey, you!

She's asking Israel to give up the land for peace. She's selling out Israel for oil! We are truly living in the age of the church of Laodicea. Heretical "televangelists" are redefining Christianity. The church has gotten so worldly that even the world is making fun of it. Church, look up! You salvation is near! Revelation 4:1 is a moment away! We're near the end of Revelation 3. Do not be lukewarm. Be separate from this consumerist society! Look to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Do you really think someone laying hands on you will heal you from demons! Study the Word! Do not be deceived by the heretics posing in the Church! I mourn for those who are buying into the lies like Condeleeza Rice. May God forgive them, they know not what they do!

Jesus says:Not to him who walks on, with no obstacles in his way, but to him that overcometh is the PROMISE GIVEN.....


So to attain peace quickly in your surroundings,as well as in your hearts, learn your lesson quickly.....

What do you think?

"Question 3:

Why is the feast of Ramadan marked by the appearance of the crescent moon?

Answer:

I think you mean the fast of Ramadan. God commanded Muslims in the Qur'ân to fast from dawn to sunset during the month called Ramadan (see Qur'ân 2:185, 187). The beginning and end of the month is determined by the crescent (2:189) based on the instruction of God's Messenger, on whom be peace.

Why this method and not another is not for us to say but for God and His Messenger to prescribe. However, I find it an efficient method. It is a universally applicable method, and it allows for Ramadan to move through all the seasons. This allows believers to have the pleasure of worshipping God by fasting in all the various seasons: one year in the summer, some years later in the winter."

Both are not proved... Scientists are trying to prove, however that Evolution is real. It's the same as he theories how the dinosaurs were wiped out. ALL OF THE THEORIES ARE NOT PROVED! Therefore, Evolution and Christianity are both unproven. Sorry to tell all of you this, but I am. Now you can go on fighting! Any questions?

I ask because most of the arguments either say "prove there is a God" or "One who could reason or understand would see that there is no God".

I wonder why the attackers do not prove beyond any possible doubt that there is absolutely no God to settle the issue.

so why do you give money to religious leaders who live off your money while doing absolutely no meaningful work whatsoever?

i bet that, if they could, animals would observe us humans, watch how we waltz around, raping and destroying their homelands, thinking we own the joint and thinking we're so intelligent... and these animals would say to themselves...

"if theyre so clever, why the hell do so many of them get suckered by religious leaders into parting with their hard-earned cash, just so those religious leaders can live off these donations and do absolutely no meaningful labor in return whatsoever?

thats silly. that would be like one of them fast cheetahs stressing its lungs and muscles to kill some prey, then giving it up to a lazy hog who'd done nothing except tell the cheetah that giving up the prey is the moral thing to do. and cheetahs aint stupid huh..."

I've come to realize that no matter what kind of person you may be, not everyone will remember you the same. In my own family, only my oldest brother and I remember our father as he really was: a generally good, but definately flawed man who tried, and sometimes failed, to do what was right. In short, he was human. Some paint an impossible picture to match what they would like for him to be, but it isn't true. Will you most likely be remembered for what you are, or what your family wishes you had been? Will your life become a legacy, or a myth?

my friend showed me a video on youtube (search ghost car crash) or something and there was this video of these 2 guys in portugal or something and they pick up this girl, whenever she looks directly at the camera, lt shakes and gets all fuzzy. (the girl was hitchhiking kind of) she says.."stop right up here..this is the spot where..I..DIED!" and there is a car crash, but clearly no cars are to be seen.

police do research and they find that the girl (who had told her name to the people in the care during the trip) was in a car crash in the same spot like 10 years ago or something...

what to believe? are ghosts real or not? the evidence is ...

and are they good or bad? the one in the video obviously is since it brought death to 2 people.

i'm so confused..help me.

Is it because He is just and does justify His every act and action?

I say it like this because of the saying "The best defence is a strong offence".
