Also, in what surah is the verse that signifies the completed favour of Allah on mankind? The last verse to be sent to the Holy Prophet(pbsuh)?

When and how did the classical understanding of "cult" as the practice of any given faith become a negative word?

In yourself?
Wouldn't that be much, much better? Not following imaginary gods and silly religions.

Can people NOT figure out for themselves there is no super-duper invisible guy and his enemies interfering with their life and the lives of others? Can they not see that the god of the bible cannot exist because a god that tortures people is a disturbed personality type....maybe worse than "satan" because he has so much power? The god I imagine would never torture anything. He would just say "Vamoosh!" and the being wouldn't exist anymore. I guess you have to threaten people with a torturous god to get them to behave properly. Anyway, have a good night. -Agnostic

I have a friend that wants to know where in the bible it says that you need to give your life to God to go to heaven. So I need to know where in the Bible it says that.

I saw the movie with Helen Maran as Elizabeth recently and he was something like a play thing for her until she accused him of treason and was executed, but in the more recent "Elizabeth," in about 1998, he should have been executed for treason, but she let him live. What treason did he commit? It didn't seem very clear to me. Thanks.

Why is in an offense punishable by flogging if he was just a prophet and not "god"?

I contend that Scriptures cannot be reconciled with the Calvinist inspired belief in OSAS. OSAS is certainly a doctrine from hell saying that one cannot fall away from the faith regardless of their sinfulness. That all that is required is a one time emotional recognition of Christ and they are forever justified, sanctified and saved for all eternity. They can remain sinful creatures in reality but Christ’s blood will cover that sin so that they can be smuggled into heaven as a dirty sinful soul. Yet the person who is not a sinful person has no.......

As a kid my grandparents took me to a United Pentecostal Church. They taught that women were not allowed to wear pants, makeup, cut their hair, wear jewelry, wear short sleeves etc. because it was a sin. I questioned my Sunday School teacher and she explained that pants were for men. To dress in them would be taking on the persona of a man. I guess it would be like crossdressing. What about people in other countries and cultures? There are men that wear skirts. What if a woman wanted to be a fireman? She could not possibly work in a long skirt. So would this be wrong? I know putting out fires is not a sin so what could she do to please the church? I don't know of any females that buy their pants in the men's dept. they do make jeans for women so how can this be considered wearing men's clothing? This has always bugged me because that church feels so strongly about this and judge others on clothes and makeup. I believe God looks at your heart, not your hair or clothes.

How many years do you think we have left before the Christians and Muslims kill each other off in the name of god? Will we finally find some world peace once they're gone? -Agnostic

that everybody wants to be perceived to be American anyway? I'd have to say (not that I'm American) that the idea of conforming to some national stereotype doesn't particularly appeal to me.

Since when was there a rule written that I should be on the receiving end of sexual pleasure?, Why doesnt she get it?, The oldschool role playing crap is way over-rated and truly twisted. I am growing tired of not being able to express my love freely without feeling like I am being intrusive. We have been together a little over 3 years and I have been trying to approach this issue delicately, but she has no interest in being on the receiving end. Any suggestions?

Living life in God's will is not a game and should not be approached ignorantly or frivolously. It is being within His will that assures our salvation and not all the legalism one may attach to God's plan.

Many people seem to think that all they have to do is in a moment of emotion and/or reason ascent to recognition of Christ being their savior and their salvation to eternal life is assured. From that point forward it makes no difference that their life is changed and they will live differently. The only thing that has changed is that evil in their lives as displayed outwardly and lived inwardly no longer has an effect on their eternity as their one act of acceptance has made them immune to the actions of their sins at judgment and obligated God to accept them into His presence. Some will go so far as to say that one's sinfulness and evil has nothing to do with the value of their souls before God because even the most evil, sinful soul is....
