"The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of Buttered Toast." (Gen. 19:14-17, 23-26)

in Judges 11, God seemed pretty happy with Jephthah sacrificing his daughter in exchange for letting him win a battle.
She was a nice sweet girl, an only child, who's only request when she heard she was to be sacrificed to God was to go out with friends and mourn her virginity for a while before coming home to be killed.

Surely this is not Yahweh in action..or is it?

1. How can the Holy Spirit tell the Lutherans the Eucharist is the true presence of Christ, and then tell the Baptists it is only a symbol?

2. How can the Holy Spirit tell the Methodists it is alright to have female ministers, and then tell the Baptists it is unbiblical?

3. How can the Holy Spirit tell the Seventh Day Adventists that Saturday is the day of worship, and then tell the Presbyterians the day of worship is Sunday and not Saturday?

4. How can the Holy Spirit tell the Lutherans that the Blessed Virgin Mary was and remains always virgin, and then tell the Baptists she had other children?

5. How can the Holy Spirit tell the Baptists, 'once saved always saved', and then tell the Church of Christ that Sola Fides is unscriptural?

6. How can the Holy Spirit tell Episcopalians to baptize infants and then tell Pentecostals infant baptism is invalid?

7. How can the Holy Spirit tell Mormons that the Holy Trinity is three separate persons, and then tell Methodists the Trinity is three persons in one GOD?

This mystical suggestion is further supported with Jesus being called the only begotten Son of God. In Psalm 2:7, the Lord said to David: "...Thou art my son: this day have I begotten thee."
Does this mean that God had two sons? Jesus also said that God is not only his Father but also your Father (Matthew 5:45, 48). Luke 3:38 says: "...Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the Son of God."
Who is mentioned in Hebrews 7:3 as like unto the Son of God? It is Melchisedec, King of Salem, as mentioned in Hebrews 7:1. He (Melchisedec) is more unique than Jesus or Adam. Why is he not preferred to be the Son of God? Moreover, Adam did not have a mother or father, but was the first human being created by God and in the likeness of God to exist in the Garden of Eden and on earth. Wouldn’t this give more rights to Adam to be called the Son of God in its truest meaning?

and ask the questions regarding the misconceptions/misunderstandings bear in your mind and you will get the right answers directly from Allah (swt). READ HOLY QUR’AN. You will feel that HE is talking with you. Removing your misconception/doubts whatever you have in your brain/heart.

I'm starting to get tired of these rude people who use their cell phones at the most inopportune time. Being on the phone while trying to conduct buisness like at a cash register. Or being in the middle of a conversation with someone and picking up the cell to talk to another. And I especially hate people who talk on phones while driving. A few days ago I was almost T-boned at an intersection because the guy was on his phone and didn't notice his RED light. It was pure luck that I happen to look over and see him. And he never even got off the cell phone! I just want to know why you do it. Why be on the cell phone at such bad times?

Two things I ask of you Lord
do not refuse me when I die
keep falsehood and lies away from me
do not give me too much because i might disown you and ask
'who is this Lord'
do not make me poor because i might steal and thus dishonour the name of my Lord.
what will you pray for today?
