The role of Muhammad as the last prophet was to formalize and clarify the faith and purify it by removing ideas which were added in error, then does this mean that god originally made a mistake? And if it was the people that were mistaken then how do you know the people are not mistaken yet again? How can the Quran claim to be the truth when it obviously plagiarized the bible.

(BTW I'm not christian)

And is it so mysterious just because it is so correct in an astronomical sense?

why didn't god just send him to one of the billions of other planets in the universe? you know, one of the billions of places in the universe without life, where he would have nobody to tempt. why would god send satan to earth, where he could steer so many people away from worshipping god?

I'm just curious to see how many people are posting to R+S from work. And if so, don't you have anything better to do? I don't and no one wants to talk religion at work.

If so, is Revelation 17 through 19 talking about the U.S. as is Revelation 6:12 through 8:7 ?

Is there a difference between Revelation 1 through 11 and 12 through 22. Revelation 12 through 22 seems to start at the very beginning of mankind with detail and Revelation 1 through 11 only tells about mankind in detail from the 5th seal ?

What if the 7 seals, actually refered to 7 ages, what age would we be in and when did it start ?

If this where true what if each seal had to have 49 generations ? How many years are in a generation ?
Does A Time, Times and Half-a-Time mean anything ? Lets say for arguement sake that a generation was 40 years, 40 x 49 = 1960 year, right ?
Now lets say that Times actually means two Time(s), if this could be true the first Time in times would equal 1960 year and the second Time would also equal 1960, right ?

Did not Matthew say that there were 14 generations, 14 generations and 14 generations from Abraham to Jesus, right ? 14 +14+14=42, right ?

I'm a suburban boy raised in a sheltered, conservative environment. I enjoy listening to rap, hip hop, and a lot of club music as a cool way to do moral rebellion against the good but kinda self-righteous environment which I've grown up in. I manage to get kickass grades/scores so it aint hurting that.

I'm just a free spirit. Anything wrong wit that?

This by NO means is directed to all Christians. I am aware that this doesn't include even MOST Christians. But...
of all the categories for these Christians I speak of to go into a spread thier stupidity, mental illness in a new low. GOD will not fix everything. GOD gave up doctors and medication. GOD will not solve a schizophrenics voice or a bipolars mood swings. You are NOT helping these people by telling them to believe in GOD and it will all go away. Please, leave these people alone or at the very least add in that sermon somewhere "and talk to a doctor". Why do some of you do this??

This is what he claims to be the word of god:

"But let's use the weapons we have, the weapons of mass destruction if need be and destroy the enemy.

"The god of Islam is not the same God of the Christian or the Judeo-Christian faith. It is a different god, and I believe a very evil and a very wicked religion.

"This is one wicked city, OK? It's known for Mardi Gras, for Satan worship. It's known for sex perversion. It's known for every type of drugs and alcohol and the orgies and all of these things that go on down there in New Orleans... There's been a black spiritual cloud over New Orleans for years. They believe God is going to use that storm to bring revival.

So Gods solution to war is using WMD to kill hundreds of thousand innocent civilians(enemy) according to Franklin. God also creates Hurricanes to destroy wicked cities and have them be rebuilt(reborn again?) according to him.(Is wicked NYC next?San Fran?

This doesn't sound like God's word. Sounds satanic to me...

John 14:28 "Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I."

If the trinity doctrine were true, and if Jesus was the God of Israel, being a monotheistic God; thus, meaning there is only one God, why then is there a second throne on the right of another throne? Furthermore, if Jesus is this monotheistic God, why does he not then take or just sit on his own throne, versus him getting invited to sit on a second throne that is next to the Person that is letting him sit there?
Here is the verse, "Yehowah (the LORD) said to my lord (adonai), "Sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet (Psalm 110)."
Furthermore, when reading this we can mention a third thing, "If Jesus were the God of Israel, why does Someone else have to subdue his enemies vs. he himself?"

If Jesus was truly the God of Israel, why does he have to obey someone else and can be potentially condemned if he does not obey that other somebody?
For he says, "If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His love." (John 15:10)
Thus, indicating if he does not obey his Father, he will not remain in his Father's love. Rather, he would be in His wrath; and so if in His wrath, then he can also go to hell just like the fallen angels will, and disobedient people will. For there is only one God, and that is the Ancient of Days, not Jesus. For if Jesus is His son, then he is not THE King, rather he is a prince and so it is said, "Prince of Peace," rather than King of Peace. This verse also proves, beyond a doubt, that Jesus was, is, and had to be in direct obedience to one greater than he.
