Besides the books of faith, are there any other texts of historical relevance that explicitly mention Jesus Christ and his miracles? Are there any texts by reliable authors/historians that can help us unwind this Jesus thing?

I Learned In Kindergarten....did you ever read the book by Robert Fulgham? Here are the basics - do you agree?

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life.

Abraham had another son, by Sarah's slave Hager. So why does Genesis 22:16 say "says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son..."?

To truely understand his writings, shouldn't believers learn the original language it was written in so as to understand it's teachings without any fear of error or contridiction. To me at least this seems only natural, and a repectful thing to do.

It seems arrogant to change his words just so that it is more convienient for people to read. Because as anyone that has played the whispers game knows, by changing even one simple word in a sentence you can, and in many cases it will change the whole meaning of the sentence.

Yes, what is the difference and please discuss without stereotyping or politicising them. They love the prophets but what are the main differences?

Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?

My girlfriend who is disabled thinks I should be able to collect money from the goverment because I am dyslexic. She tells me it is a disability and I can collect money for it. She thinks I should because I am having trouble finding work because of my dyslexia.

I also am hard of hearing and may become deaf one day. She says I could collect disability for that too, that I don't have to be deaf that hard of hearing would suffice. She also told me I might be able to get a free videophone because I am hard of hearing, they normally cost $200.

Why don't many people accept Islam? Islam is a true religion and has been proven.. Let me give an example.. The Egyptian King "Firoun"'s dead body has been found from the nile river and Quran also says that Firoun and his men were dead as they fell in the Nile river.. Let me ask you, Anywhere in the Bible, does Isa (Jesus) says "I am God"? He only said that he is sent by God...

Is it right to get a co-worker fired? I’m torn on this. On a personal level, I hate him. He is an idiot, a babbling idiot that feels that he needs to give everyone his opinion, advice, or whatever random thought is going through his head. In his 40’s, he thinks that office flatulence is the height of hilarity, and that is just the top of the list.
Professionally, the guy is useless, making my job and that of the rest of my group harder. His incompetence is complete, and he is nothing but an eternal victim and whiner whenever he is confronted. I have an e-mail he sent about management that would probably have him out the door in minutes that I have been saving, but that is my problem. Is it right to get a man fired. I hate him, he is useless and a detriment to the company, but is it my right to do that. I feel that, even though justified, I’m overstepping my bounds.
Would love practical advice or thoughts on this.

putting the Nazi symbol on her desk.

Do you understand why I'm mad? Is this what they teach kids in church? Is their conversation criminal? (perhaps conspiracy to commit a hate crime) Should I report it to the school?

I'm starting to wonder if people are missing the point of the outcry about the Jenna 6, or at least my outcry.

NO one condones what the Jenna 6 did, it was cruel and wrong and they should be punished. Just like the noose incident should not be looked at lightly. HOWEVER, are people forgeting or do they not know about the Jenna 6 member who was attacked by white guys a few weeks earlier, even got his head busted open with a beer bottle, but the punishment given for that was only a battery assult charge, no jail time??

This is what I have a problem with, how can people feel it is fair to try and give these kids attempted murder, life in prison charges. Thats the inequality with all of this. wrong is wrong, no matter what color you are, but you have to be fair across the board..

This is the reason why people I know are protesting down there now, its not to justify beating up an innocent white kid because a noose was hung..

I think people are really missing the real point.

" The reason for this strictness is so that the woman is protected from the lustful gaze of men. She should not attract attention to herself in any way. It is permissible for a man to catch the eye of a woman, however it is haram (unlawful) for a man to look twice as this encourages lustful thoughts.

Islam protects the woman; it is for this reason that Allah gave these laws. In today's society womankind is being exploited, female sexuality is being openly used in advertising, mainly to attract the desires of men and therefore sell the product. Is the woman really free in today's society? The answer is obviously no. The constant bombardment by the media as to how the ideal woman should look and dress testifies to this.

Islam liberated woman over 1400 years ago. Is it better to dress according to man or God?"

Do YOU... Know WHY.... People.... Hate GOD... JESUS ?

IS... " IT "... Because.... 'THEY'... Are IN.... "The KINGDOM.... of Darkness".... and Do Not = Want The LIGHT!

(Acts 26:18) To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

(Acts 26:18) To open their eyes,

and to turn them from darkness

to light,

and from the power of Satan

unto God,

that they may receive

forgiveness of sins,

and inheritance

among them

which are sanctified

by faith

that is in Me [Jesus].

AND....

(John 3:19-20) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.

(Joh 3:20) For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

Thanks, RR

Go figure...

The term "God Fearing" is used a lot by religious people. Why would someone fear something that is omnipotent and looking out for your best interest? Why not say "God Trusting" or something like that?
