*iamnot asking to convert, im muslim myself and happy with that !, rather curious to know about other ppl's too and share knowledge :-)"

so, allow me to start :
about that in islam:

If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion of God, then, all one needs to do is pronounce the “Shahada”, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The “Shahada” is the first and most important of the five pillars of Islam.

With the pronunciation of this testimony, or “Shahada”, with sincere belief and conviction, one enters the fold of Islam.

To convert to Islam and become a Muslim a person needs to pronounce the below testimony with conviction and understanding its meaning:

I testify “La ilah illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.”

The translation of which is:

“I testify that there is no true god (deity) but God (Allah),

and that Muhammad is a Messenger (Prophet) of God.”

From there, One starts carrying on with the duties of Islam.

Examples: cavemen, dinosaurs, evolution, gravity, DNA cells....etc. were not mentioned. How do you decide what things you'll admit are evident and what things you'll deny?

So today while I was meditating...

I was laying in a blanket under the sun and it started to rain. When the rain lifted I heard a wolf growling. It started to run at me, but for some reason I closed my eyes and stood still. A beam of light suddenly came from my body and the wolf stopped. It starred at me for what seemed to be hours. Next thing I know an indian man approaches me and tells me that I was once a part of him. He then says that my light can save many. I must find my light.

I am not Native American at all. I am a white girl whose family comes from Denmark, Sweeden, Germany, and France.

What would you make of this vision/dream?????

I have seen on here many times the quote by Ignatius where he mentions the catholic church. However is this church the Roman Catholic Church? I propose the answer is no. It means literally what he said, a universal church of all believers. He says where Jesus is the universal (catholic) church is there. However since this was over 200 years before the RCC came into existence how could he be referring to them?

"Let no one do anything of concern to the Church without the bishop. Let that be considered a valid Eucharist which is celebrated by the bishop or by one whom he ordains [i.e., a presbyter]. Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there; just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the universal Church" (Letter to the Smyrneans 8:2 [A.D. 110]).

(I took a small liberty with the above quote. In the original Ignatius says catholic. Catholic theologians do not tranlsate this word and capatilize it. Which it was not orignaly. Thus I changed it to universal which is its meaning)

"Some men are willing to die for their faith but will not fully live for it. Christ both lived and died for us. By walking in his steps and through his atonement we can gain the greatest gift of all--eternal life--which is that kind of life of the great Eternal One, our Father in heaven."
--Ezra Taft Benson, "Jesus Christ--Gifts and Expectations, Byu Devotional", 10 December 1974

I'm not sure if I REALLY, really am. I hope that as I grow older, I will grow wiser, and can one day say that I did fully live for my faith to the best of my abilities given the circumstances at the time. As of today, I can't say that I have mastered that aspect of life. I have a lot left to do, a lot left to learn, and a lot left to become.

What about you?

Join me and other fundamentalists as go to war with the athiest of YA!R/S. You will randomly be placed on a team either Christian Jarhead or the Atheistic Leathernecks and we will duke it out; with a breath taking fight to the finish! Beware both have a special move. The Jarheads have the massive Wrath of God which automatically converts a certain number of athiests depending on the teams spiritual level as a whole. The Leathernecks have the impressive Big Bang which mysteriously explodes from nothing and creates a mountain. Tune in next time for Episode # 4: Leatherhead

OK first off let me just say God is not sending people to Hell cause they were Bad or unworthy...the problem is nothing unholy CAN BE in the presense of God it can't BE it would burn up because his holiness is to Awesome. the ones that will be going to hell i think are the ones who accepted the gift of eternal life and then turned their back on him.....NOT ATHIEST....thats what i think......I don't think the people are (coping out) i think they are confused

...and then return to talk about it. "23 minutes in Hell" by Bill Weise and another book a woman wrote about Hell being shaped like a body are good examples. How could they possibily go to Hell (or Heaven for that matter) when the Bible clearly says the dead are sleeping in their graves until the Tribulation? It's a fire and brimstone tactic to scare people. What do you think?

Is it the people you have met;
the requirement of believing with faith;
the scandals associated with faith;
what is it that keeps you a non-believer?

This is a question out of pure curiosity about the motives and thoughts of others, thanks in advance.

If you are a believer and you would like to answer,
what has happened in your life to confirm your faith?

For me, the strength and joy that has kept my head up while trying to finish school while raising 3 children in a tough personal situation has most certainly confirmed the presence of the Lord in my life. I have had many weak moments where I wanted to never leave my bed, yet I have continued to get up every day and have somehow found a smile on my face. Only the joy and strength of the Lord could have made that happen here recently. I look forward to all of the comments.
