...one day God descended from Heaven before you. He then proceeded to perform all manner of miracles and wonders, so that there could be no doubt as to either his existence or identity. Then He informed you that the One True Faith was ISLAM; and that all must convert or suffer eternal damnation.

Would you repent and convert? Or would you still insist that you yourself knew, better than the Almighty Creator knows himself, what God's true purpose and intentions are and cling to your faith?

And if your answer is the latter, will you at last acknowledge what the rest of us have known all along -- that you're only talking to yourself, not God?

do you really need a bible or god to tell you to treat people the way you want to be treated?
i thought this was common sense?

Isn't it true that man has changed the bible?

I believe that it was once a message from god..

but the bible has been changed 100's of time...

why are their so many different bibles now? shouldn't there be only one?

I once went to the library to read the bible... but when i was reading i noticed alot it was a short description of some story or person... then it has a reference saying "to find out more read this book"... why there need to be one book is bible is the answer?

Why are there 100's of different versions of the bible and new version come out every month.... If bible is the truth then there should be one and it should have been original and not changed by man... because men would change the word of god to fit their needs?

The bibles i have read says on the cover by: Some Author...

To me these signs enough show me that if man changed bible then the true Christianity is changed by man too!
the bible was gods word but changed by man to fit their needs?

It appears that many of the laws in this book are now obsolete. Read about all the stuff about periods, handling meat, and a variety of other things. The reality is that many of these laws were made because people back then knew something wasn't right, but didn't know why (people usually got hurt or sick as a result of breaking these laws). Thus, God said it was immoral and put hefty punishments on it.

For example, when we discovered sanitation and why meat handlers and people that came in contact with them became sick, those laws were thrown out. Same thing with a woman's period. When we figured out what was going on there, all those laws were virtually tossed out. Or the law stating that women are not allowed to talk in church, that's thrown out too. So my ultimate question is, if it becomes scientifically proven that homosexuals are born gay, will that law be thrown out too or will it be another stalemate like evolution?

Why is it that Atheists don't beleive anything. Please don't give me a smart alec answer. But i really want to know...What does it hurt to at least beleive in God? If it turns out it really is a big hoax so what you died and its over for you anyway. If it is true then you have the comfort of knowing where you are going. Why not just believe?

about their faith. I ask questions about contradictions in the Bible or logical questions taken from my knowledge of their religion and have never yet got a straight answer. I get lots of abuse, and threats.
Maybe asking them questions is akin to mocking the afflicted. What do you think? an example of one of my questions... If Jesus
is the god Christians believe in he would have fore knowledge of all events. Therefore when he commited the offence that lead to his arrest and execution he must have known he would be executed. Therefore he commited suicide didn't he?

I had to overcome much in my life because neither of my parents are genetically fit to have kids. My mother is 5' even while my dad is 5'7". Both are pretty ugly. They should have been sterilized. They are both philistines. Now I'm a 5'6" 21 year NYU college student who has never had a girlfriend and am forced to supress any sexual urge I might have. I asked approximately 23 girls out throughout my life and have been turned down every time due to my height. My parents both have I.Q.'s of peanuts and they were never able to support me financially or emotionally throughout my life. Now I'm an emotional AND financial cripple. Things WILL NOT get better for me as every day gets worse and worse. Why do people with horrendous genes feel the need to pass their genes onto the next generation? Dont they know that that will create suffering exactly the way I'm suffering now? I will try to fly to the Netherlands to undergo Euthanasia - or as I call it a very very very late term abortion.

Some people have chemical or hormonal imbalances that might hinder their ability to truly understand the Gospel. Is there anything in the Bible that deals with this?

my father died when I was 13 for 3 months I prayed to God to please let me see him just one more time. Then one night as I was about to go to sleep I looked up at the roof over my bed and a yellow orb about the size of a basketball came through the roof and stopped about one foot face. I was scared until it stopped in front of me but as soon as it stopped I instantly felt very safe and at ease. Then it started riseing up and I went with it.It carried me to a place I can only call paradise! I cant describe the wonderful fealing of joy,peace,love,that filled every poor of my body. Then I saw my father standing there. He was at a white table beside a log cabin. Their was a beautiful river beside it.
He told me not to worry about him that he would be there waiting on me.
Then I looked at the river and ask if I could jump from the tree beside of it. He smiled and said yes.I jumped in and the only way I can describe it is the water penetrated me and healed me.(out of room)

so I guess we're not smart enough for you and science and we stick to our "myths" and old-fashioned way, then you atheists blast us for not being "intelligent". Well, excuse me! Maybe I should just go out in the rain and hide in a bush.

I am a christian and I believe in Jesus Christ, so your opinion is now crap. Anything you think you know is worthless becuz I know a lot of things that you don't know. Don't preach at me about being a stupid and superstitious little idiot with a fake God. I'm not the one who needs an education, you are. You don't even know why the world exists!! You ought to keep your mouth shut when you can't even tell me that, and I do know by the way

Great news: We all now become one: jews, christian, hinddu, and other religion. WE ARE TOGETHER, no more fight.

"al-Quran is the mother of the books", that is what our God said.
