"Take your son, your only son – yes, Isaac, whom you love so much – and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will point out to you."

The other day when saying my midday prayer to Mecca, I was bored and decided to pray to Shaytan instead of Allah. Right after that, I played scratch off lottery ticket and won $20. I think Shaytan answered my prayer(I asked for money). Should I start praying to Shaytan or did I make mistake. I do not want to pray to Allah anymore. He never answers me.

Most Christians seem not to agree with anything muslims have to say. That is why we will never be one with each other. Most of are views are the same except the man made ones in the bible. I cannot understand and probably never will see why Christians do think Jesus was a messeneger of God. Instead you take him for a God and that is the problem you will face on the day of Judgement. Making false claims on God's messeneger saying he is God. Can anyone show me where Jesus said worship me and call me God or I am your GOD?

Why are they called legalists? Legalism is adding to the way of salvation (adding works or baptism to the blood of Jesus...adding man made doctrine to the Bible). When did following the bible in dress, lifestyle, dating, child raising, etc, become legalistic?

If priests would have a healthy sex life, maybe they would leave childern alone?
Of course, wifes might not want to have sex with their priest husbands, so that will bring other set of problems???
If it was allowed for priest to get married, would it be Ok to priest to continue as priest if they divorce?

I am considering converting to Judaism from Islam. It's not because of Mohammed, it is because Islam accepts Jesus as prophet. Jesus annoys the piiss out of me- mostly because of things like turning the other cheek and other stuff like that, I have found. Obviously I cannot convert to Christianity which leaves Judaism as my only option.

Am I making a mistake ? Will I have to discard 3 of my 4 wives ? Will I have to stop beating the one wife I keep since Judaism respects women more than Islam ?

Why do Muslims side step this question or claim it isn't true when it is stated in their Qur'an? I am not an Islamic scholar but look these up for yourself.
Quranic verses that dictate violence against Kaffirs (non beleivers). Some may claim these are taken out of context...I say they are taken from their Holy Book.
5:33 execution
8:12 instill terror
47:4 strike off their heads
9:123 murder those of the dis-belivers
9: 29 and fight People of the Book (Christians and Jews)

I am looking for the name of a specific Catholic priest. He is a family friend, married lots of my siblings, presided over the funeral of my brother, but we have lost contact with him.... I think last I saw him was in the late 80s. He was in the Manchester, NH area at that time. Please don't bring up anything about the scandals that are involved in priest now.... that's not the reason why I am searching.

This is a question for Christians please.

Do you believe that God saves some and doesn't save others? Do you believe that people have a choice to accept Jesus and be saved, or does God choose who will be saved? If you believe God chooses, do you believe the "unlucky ones" are just doomed from birth?

I realize that not all Christians are futurists, and not all futurists think that Jesus Christ's second coming will occur before the tribulation does. Based on Scripture, and not on what you have heard from others, please provide your viewpoint on this matter. I do hope that the answers will not become mean-spirited. This is merely a question, and I will not attack you or your opinion.

Thank you!

I have situations where I see things before they happen. I used to give people advice and tell them things based on their attitude that ended up coming true. I read in the bible that people that can read the future are of the devil. I used to be a SATANIST (but no longer) and now I am a christian. How do I keep from seeing things that will come to pass???

since i'm born i seem to be a member of some Dutch Church. )I'm Dutch, sorry, i really don't know the english translation for the brand of the church, in Dutch it's called "Nederlands Hervormd"
I never asked to be a member of that religion.

Every year they send me their bill, something with tithing.

Each year, and i've been doing this for 9 years now, i donate 1 eurocent to them, with the message to please remove me from their mailing list.

But each year again they spend 35 cents on a stamp to collect my 1 cent.

Churches these days are really that desperate? Or is it, that God hates science so much, that Math is forbidden in churches?
