1: I am not a Christian.
2: I do not want any bible verses as answers, or tracts as tips, if you know what I mean.

Question, ok, I care not for what the bible says about homosexuality, it makes no difference to me what that book says. Be it proving its legitimacy or its illegality. What I want to know is why the “Religious Creatures” Among us wish to try to pass laws in America against homosexuals, and all over the world. It is in complete violation of the separation of church and state. It Is denying the rights to those of us who are gay. It is not right. Do you see my frustration?

Allah has called us: Muslims.

"He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper! "

"هو سماكم المسلمين من قبل وفي هذا ليكون الرسول شهيدا عليكم وتكونوا شهداء على الناس فاقيموا الصلاة واتوا الزكاة واعتصموا بالله هو مولاكم فنعم المولى ونعم النصير"

Al Hajj - Pilgrimage- 22: 78

Do you think it's useless to call ourselves with other names than the name Allah سبحانه و تعالى gave to us?

Everything is in the link. They own 93% of the land, and are trying to pass a bill which forbids the Arabs living in Israel who are not doing terrorist activities from leasing land. What kind of a democracy is that??

The movie is a historical film about the Muslims who fought along side the French army for the liberation of France from the Nazi. It was refreshing to note that at least Muslims are getting credit for their role in defeating Nazism. Can't we have the same film about the role of Muslims from the colonies who fought along side the British army to finish off the Nazis?

I hope film like this one will bridge the gap between Muslims and Christians. We have no other choice but to live together and to tolerate each other if we wish to share the same one planet we live on...

If your desires change then the desire can easily change in the opposite direction.

Anyone who follows their desires have in fact taken their desires as a GOD.

Those who do not have a comprehensive divine law to follow can also slip into this trap.

Obeying the laws of GOD in all our actions is a way of submitting our will to GOD and his laws and not to what our desires want.

Does this say anything new to you?

"God has commanded humanity to avoid evil; he has forbidden immorality, rebellion, cruelty, aggressiveness, murder and bloodshed. Those who do not obey this command of God are walking in the steps of Satan, as it says in the verse above, and have adopted an attitude that God has clearly declared unlawful. Of the many verses that bear on this subject, here are only two:

But as for those who break God's contract after it has been agreed and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode. (Surat ar-Ra'd: 25)

Seek the abode of the hereafter with what God has given you, without forgetting your portion of the world. And do good as God has been good to you. And do not seek to cause mischief on earth. God does not love mischief makers.' (Surat al-Qasas: 77)

what percentage would end up in hell? I would say over 80%. Jesus said do your best to go through the narrow gate as the road to life is hard and only a few be there that find it. Jesus said do not go through the wide gate becasue that leads to distruction and many people will travell it. I belive if the book was closed on the world I belive over 80% will end up in the deep dark firey pit. I am glad I am saved becasue I have had drams and visions given to me by Jesus himself about my salvation. I have a relationship wiht him, I repent everytime I muck up. I love Jesus more than anything, I do not conform myself to this world thank goodness, I do not drink anymore and have given up most yes most of my sins. I still battle a bit with swearing but I am working on it with God's help. But I do repent when I do so if I was to die tonight I am sure of my salvation becasue of Jesus sacrifice on the cross. I don ot go out to pubs or clubs anymore, I would rather stay home and spend time with

This isn't so much about Adam and Eve eatting from the tree. But Why did God need a fruit tree? What if Adam and Eve HADN'T eatten from the tree, would the fruit have rotted, and fell to the ground?

Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

God did not plant a tree of good and then a separate tree of evil and then say, "eat all you want from the "good" tree
but leave the "evil" tree alone, did He?

God did not want man to even know that good and evil even exist. Look again:

Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

He didn't say the knowledge of just evil, did He? He said the knowledge of BOTH GOOD AND EVIL.

God did not create man with the capability of distinguishing between good and evil, right and wrong. That is pure God-stuff!
That's why He told Adam to leave the tree of the KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL alone. He alone decides. We follow Him
