theres seems to be alot of misconceptions about islam even muslim them selfs dont know about their own religion well , and presume the men must dominate women etc.. but islam has a different side to this all bad misconceptions, hope u guys are open minded to find out the truth of islam . i mean before cat stevens became muslim he said if he met a muslim before he met the quran he would never have become muslim. thats a pretty big statement. hope u guys take time and study islam, if not then ok but im just a message girl.

All I asked was why atheists on Yahoo Answers spend most of their time ridiculing believers. Who's the crybaby that snitched...lol. So hypocritical...They can virtually spew hatred toward believers, namely Christians, and the minute a Christian questions their antics, they get all bent out of shape and snitch.

Real nice.

If any of you caught the Dateline story last night about Pastor Carlton Pearson, just wondered what your thoughts are. I'm not looking for a screaming match, just honest opinions.

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him"

I think that this verse illustrates Jesus place as Judge. Does it also condemn people who don't believe that Jesus is God?

This religious book (of course written by Man long ago) proclaims that only those who believe in their 'god X' (no other god or gods) can go to heaven upon death. Just wondering what about the millions and millions of humans (including young children) of all the other faiths go to when they die?
Also where do the countless murderers, rapists, terrorists and other criminals go to when they die (presuming they have repent and accepted god X)?

Ladies, if your husband said, "I love you, but I'm gonna let the President have you so he won't kill me" how would you feel about this? I just can't concieve of this man being any kind of role model.

I am a christian myself, but will not accept that my God would allow eternal suffering for anyone. Perfect love will always prevail against perfect righteouness. Even a lowly human like myself has too much compassion to punish people eternally. Send them back to the dust from which they came.

I think I may have this to a certain extent. I am able to predict minor future events accurately. It is almost like I can foresee them in a sense. This may be a weak example but take yesterday for an example. I woke up in the morning, and I had the feeling that I would be asked to help with collecting the offering during the service. When I got there, I was asked to do so. (Of course, I did it too.)

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar occurance. Maybe foresight isn't the proper word for this?

Fundamentalists don't seem to think that by knowing the Father, I could know the Son, is that true?

I'm honestly interested in the reasons why Catholics, who believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, are not thought to be Christians by some evangelical Christians. All opinions, other than profanity, are welcome!

So for me if I weren’t an Isian Witch I’d be a liberal Christian mystic.

I’ve learned a great many things for writers like St. John of the Cross and St. Bonaventura. I’d be liberal because I know I don’t have all the answers.

Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism that affects a fractional percentage of the population. People who have it have trouble understanding socialization and synthesizing emotion in normal ways. They are otherwise highly functional and have average to above average intelligence. No one knows what causes AS, but it can be detected in early childhood. There are many unique tendencies associated with the disorder, one of which is the tendency to reject religious belief. For whatever reason, the wide majority of people with AS are atheist, agnostic, or otherwise non-religious (as opposed to ~10% in the total population).
For those who are religious, how do you think the religion or god that you believe in would judge these people? Would they be condemned or punished as non-believers? Would they be given leniency because their condition may affect their ability to hold religious beliefs? Why would god create such a condition? Please include your religious affiliation. Thanks.

In Arminianism they teach God knows who will and will not accpet him. God sees into the future and knows those who will repsond. Then why is Jesus trying to save everyone if he knows those who will not accept him?

I read this weekend about how the word repentance comes from a greek word which meant a new mind or a change of mind or heart.

How does this fit with your understanding of repentance?

to be cleansed?

I argue the assumption that:
God is Merciful. (He will not reject good people who believe in Him)
God is Just. (One cannot enter uncleansed into the presence of God)

Fundamentalists: I argue that whatever verse you are about to give me has an interpretation that does not include condemnation, and I insist you use that interpretation, I do.

Believing could never be the only way what about sacrificing one's own life to save another or fighting a war to protect those you dont even know how about unconditional love since I love someone and nothing could possibly change that not even if she would take my life. I am fighting a war soley to protect one person to die for her holds no pain nor do I fear any torture or death itself. I am an american soldier NOT a terrorist jus so you know. There are other ways of getting to heaven, or whatever you may call it.
