If the birth time of the person was wrongly recorded during delivery, then she will get all the wrong prediction of her life destiny from the astrologer? There's no way we can confirm the accuracy of birth time stated in our birth cert.

What i get from this word "divinity" is that a divine being has to be Eternal and all -powerful and all-knowing. what other criterias you think ?

secondly only God is divine, because Man dont have any divinity in them. Divinity is something which cannot be given , because of what divinity is. Divinity is what a being always had and always will be. One who is divine is always been divine and he cannot stop being divine because of what we mean when we say "divine"/// and a being who has a beginning cannot be divine. because the criteria of being divine is to be eternal.
This excludes the notion of claim of divinity of any created or mortal being .

comments please..

NOTE..: stupid , silly and sacrilegous people are not invited to answer. and if you want to speak anything wrong about God. Don't bother to answer this.

Jesus never mentions homosexuality but spoke against divorce.

Why are some Christians so aggressively against gays, but not those who divorce? (I am a Christian who belives we should show love toward both)

Doctrine of Covenants 88:22 states, "For he who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory." So, if you are going to reach exaltation, you must abide by the celestial law?

President Brigham Young said, "If you obey this law, preserve it inviolate, live according to it, we shall be prepared to enjoy the blessings of a celestial kingdom" (Discourses of Brigham Young, pg. 404).

President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote, "To enter the celestial and obtain exaltation it is necessary that the whole law be kept. . .Do you desire to enter the celestial Kingdom and receive eternal life? Then be willing to keep all of the commandments." (The Way to Perfection, pg. 206).

President Spencer Kimball said that "living all the commandments guarantees total forgiveness of sin and assures one of exaltation" (Miracle, pg.208).

Are Mormons living all the commandments? If not, how do they know they are forgiven?

They should be killed.

"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ... Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." -- Dt.13:6-10

I've been around the Religion & Spirituality section for a while, and it seems that there are a lot of people from all sides, whether Christian, Atheist, Muslim, etc, who aren't respectful of the variety of opinions and variety of people who post here. Why not? Why do these discussions bring out the worst in people? And why do atheist/agnostic types criticize the religious types for intolerance when they're just as bad? (not all, but a lot)

Proof #14 - Examine Jesus' miracles

If someone were to come to you today and say, "I am God!", what would you do? Yes, you would immediately ask for proof. Of course you would. And you would not want goofy proof.You would want real, solid, tangible proof.

No normal person, and I mean no one, would accept anything less than rock solid proof from a person who claims to be God.

Why should it be any different with Jesus? Jesus was a man who claims to be God. If he is God, then he ought to be able to prove it in a real, inimitable way. If he cannot prove it then, quite clearly, he is not God.

A Christian would say, "But Jesus HAS proven it! Just look at all of the miracles he did in the Bible! He healed the sick! He changed water into wine! That PROVES that Jesus is the Lord!" Does that make sense to you? Imagine that someone, today, were to come up to you and say, "I am God, and I will prove that I am God by healing the sick and turning water into wine!" What would you say? Be honest. You would not believe this person because:

Everyone has seen all sorts of "faith healers" who can "heal" the sick. And we all know that this sort of "healing" is quackery. If it were true, then we would not need doctors, hospitals or prescription medicines.

Turning water into wine... Doesn't that sound like something that a B-grade David-Copperfield-wannabe magician would do in a nightclub act? There are a dozen ways that you could stage things to make it look like water is turning into wine. There is no reason why a normal person would accept a magic trick as proof that someone is God.

Neither of these miracles can be scientifically tested today. Not one of Jesus' miracles left any tangible evidence for scientists to study.
It is as simple as that. If someone claimed to be God today, you would never believe it if the evidence consisted of faith healing and magic tricks. Never. Yet billions of people claim that Jesus' faith healing and magic tricks prove that he is God.
Let's imagine that Jesus truly is God. What might he have done to prove it? He could have started by taking one of his most famous quotes from the Bible and acting on it. In Matthew 17:20 Jesus says quite clearly:

For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
To prove that he is God, Jesus would have moved a mountain. Especially since it is so easy. And Jesus would have written something down to explain himself. Here's what the first page of Jesus' book might have looked like:
My name is Jesus, and I am God. I know there are a lot of people out there who will doubt that I am God, so let me start off by proving it to you. Take a look at Mount Sinai. Everyone knows that, until today, Mount Sinai stood near here. It is the mountain where God, my father, gave Moses the Ten Commandments.
Mount Sinai vanished this morning, and what was left in its place was a perfectly smooth, polished stone base measuring four miles square. Hundreds of years from now, people will find that Mount Sinai landed near a place that will be called Newark, New Jersey. When scientists dig into the mountain, they will find that the bottom of the mountain is also completely smooth and polished, and that the bottom of the mountain in New Jersey perfectly matches the polished plain nearby. Scientists will be able to align the mountain and the plain, looking at it rock crystal by rock crystal at a microscopic level. I have said many times that, if you have faith, you can move mountains. I moved Mount Sinai to show how easy it is, and to prove that I am God.

I know that that may not be enough, so let me offer a second proof. If you draw a circle, you know that there is distance across the circle. Let us call it the diameter of the circle. There is also a distance around the outside of the circle. Let us call it the circumference. If you divide the circumference by the diameter, you get another number. Let us call it Pi, and its first 6 digits are 3.14159. Pi is an irrational number. It is a number that is made up of an infinite number of non-repeating digits.

There will come a day when machines called computers will calculate billions of digits of Pi. If you calculate Pi out to the millionth trillionth digit, here is what you will find:

9823456451237823492278583495083498745....

Now, having proven that I am God to any rational being, through my documentable movement of a mountain and through my foreknowledge of Pi at the millionth trillionth position, here is what I want to say to the human race as your creator, and as the creator of the universe...

Wouldn't that be awesome and amazing? If we had such a book, and if Mount Sinai had actually moved, then there would be no questions about Jesus. We would all believe that he is God. How could we not? Imagine what such a book would say on the following pages. A book like that, I am sure, would leave all of us in awe.
Why would Jesus not do that? God, supposedly, has already written a book called the Bible. And God, supposedly, has already done all sorts of things according to that book. God, supposedly, parted the Red Sea, carved the Ten Commandments into stone, went to the trouble to incarnate himself, etc. So why not have Jesus write a book, and leave behind real, tangible evidence for all of us to see?

We live in a society that (supposedly) is really big on the tolerance thing. Why doesn't that hold true regarding Christianity? If you pick on Blacks - excuse me, I mean African Americans - you're called a racist. If you pick on Muslims, you're called a fanatic Republican, since Islam is obviously such a peaceful religion. But Christians are made fun of and degraded in every manner imaginable, and everyone just laughs - and not just on a small one-to-one scale, but on the national scale: politicians, scientists, the media, you name it. Why?!?!?!?!?

Muslims: We already know that people will reply to this question with hatred and ugliness and childishness, so let's you and I grin and bear it. Ignore them, they're not worth a reply.

Let me first say that I have deep respect and love for Islam and Muhammad (pbuh). What I don't understand is how it's permissable in Islam for a girl 9 yrs young to marry, and how Muhammad and Aisha consummated their marriage when she was only a child of 9 yrs. Can a Muslim please explain how this is permitted? Please know that I am not attacking, I am deeply curious.
