i need to know who are the christian and jewish parties that know about the bible very well and focus on its study and speak in the name of God JHVH not Jesus Christ. The most I see are focused on Jesus and his biography.

koreans always say this. always hearing them look down on japanese, chinese ( who look like them owing it to the fact that they come from the same race) and on southeast asian women for their brown color and even saying that they are black. if this is true, why all the surgery in korea among young and old. i mean, they undergo surgery not because of old age or sth but more of getting a job and a husband.

Dr Muhammed Bari, leader of the Muslim Council of Great Britain, has stated his aim of integrating more Islamic beliefs into British society. 'British people could benefit from arranged marriages' he has stated, as well as advocating the banning of alcohol from all public places.

This declaration comes in a week when the head of MI5 warns that some 2000 people in the UK are suspected of involvement in terrorist activity, with children as young as 15 being 'groomed' to be suicide bombers.

And a recent report by the Policy Exchange think tank has found that the bookshop at the East London Mosque, chaired by Mohammed Bari, stocks and sells extremist literature.
The Muslim Council of Great Britain itself has been accused of having links to extremists.

What do British people think about incorporating more Islamic beliefs into society? What do British Muslims think about Bakri's ideas?

Assuming they're conventionally invisible, intangible, inaudible and can only be "experienced" by self-suggestion (i.e. if you believe in them already)..... then irrespective of whether they actually exist or not, there will always be those who believe they've seen them and thus believe they exist.... and those who are 100% certain that they do not and cannot.

So where is the difference?
Can anyone honestly provide a difference between the existence or nonexistence of any god (including the one with a capital G) that isn't purely supposition of an active imagination?
And on anything besides a mental level and the consequences thereof... how is the life of someone who does believe any different from the life of one who doesn't?


{ For the record... I originally determined that God doesn't exist simply because any existence he might have is purely arbitrary and not perceivably necessary, thus eliminating him by Ockham's Razor. }

The Holy Spirit is the power of God—not a personage, consciousness, entity, part of the godhead or part of a Trinity. It is the mind and essence of the divine nature and the spiritual extension of God through which He carries out His will. Bestowed upon or poured out upon individuals, it imparts begettal by God as His children. God's Spirit empowers the mind to comprehend spiritual matters, producing conversion. It leads us into all truth; convicts us of sin and righteousness; and imparts faith, the love of God, power to overcome sin and other gifts essential to do His will. It is the earnest or guarantee of eternal life.

1. Why was I born into a world of sin and hate.
If you had a child, would you put them on this planet versus next to God?

2. Why do I go to hell if I don't believe in God?
I don't have the heart to sentence my child to an eternity of hell. Am I more loving than God?

Also:
Why did God bring so much pain amongst his people in the Old Testament? Yes they sinned but why torture them?

Religion it seems to me is for those unable to accept the human condition and face it, our short life span in particular fills them with such dread that instead of focussing in on the wonders of art and literature and philosophy and the awesomeness of nature, they obsess over the topic they fear which is death and bore the rest of us with tales of ghosts and the supernatural.

They are liars if they pretend not to understand how it feels to disbelieve in the Gods, claims and beliefs of others...I think Christians protest atheism too much seeing as they disbelieve in vastly more Gods than they believe in and with respect of those Gods are as atheist as any atheist. What do you say?

but its for purely selfish reasons not because i believe in your "protest". You see, my Church will not give me Her blessing to divorce but i really wouldnt mind the option. well i figured if the Queen, bless her heart, if she can give Prince Charles her blessing to divorce (albeit reluctantly no doubt) surely she wouldnt frown on me getting one too.
Actually im confusing myself now...pls tell me just who is the visible head of the Protestant Church?
