Religion & Spirituality - 2 September 2006

What is your doctrine concerning the salvation of the ancient Israelites and other ancient civilizations predating Christianity? How will they be saved given that in their mortal lifetime they never could have relied on the saving grace of Christ's Atonement. Will those ancients be saved by the Law of Moses if they kept it? Even if they were faithful and kept the Law, could they keep it perfectly enough? And what about those other ancient civilizations in Africa and Asia and the Americas who never even had contact with ancient Israel, and who predated the earliest Christian missionaries by thousands of years? Do you believe God has made any provisions for their salvation?

Jewish & Christians Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allâh (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allâh.

christians why denying God evidences and u r witnessing it's true. and God is witness on what's in ur heart. christians why mixing the truth with false, and hide the truth while u r aware of it?

christians Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah Jesus son of Mary was no more than a Messenger of Allâh and His Word Be! - and it will be which He bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: "Three trinity!" it is better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One God. Glory be to Him above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.

christians a prophet came to u to clear to u many things hiding in ur scriptures.

where the male is represented by the upper triangle and the female by the lower one. Moreover, it derives four triangular symbols from it (two triangles crossed like a capital letter A and two uncrossed) to represent the four elements: water, fire, air, and earth.
How does this tie into Judaism and why would they use an ancient astrological symbol to represent their great faith?

I mean, does any religion preach actual hatred? Are decent tolerant religions being dragged down because of a few losers who just listen to the rantings of the nuts. Never bothering to read their chosen Holy books?

I really don't see the point. There are countless possible gods, what makes you so sure that yours is the right one? And "faith" isn't an answer. If a scientist simply said that "faith" was his (or her) reasoning behind something he would be laughed at and fired. All religions claim that there god is the only one, seems like they're just competing for the sheep.

Also, yes, there's the chance of risking an afterlife of torture by not worshippin a god (or worshipping the wrong one), but there's no proof that shows an afterlife is anything more than wishful thinking. Why not try to enjoy life now? Seems like you could think of better things to do with your time than waste it on some book full of lies and plotholes.

Also, isn't it just a matter of time until modern religions go away? They'll be laughed at like Zeus, Cupid, and Venus. Just seems like Christianity, Judiasm, Islam, and etc... are nothing more than fads.

So, what's the point other than engaging in wishful thinking?

I mean if we stuck to old traditions like so many people seem to want to on homosexuality issues, women wouldn't be able to vote, blacks wouldn't be free, it would be socially acceptable to physically abuse women, women would generally be considered inferior, only white males owning property could vote, we would still think the world was flat, we'd use leeches to suck the blood out of people as a method of healing, freethinking or unwed women would be called witches and killed, a lot more species would be extinct, there would be no America, tea would still have heavy taxes (haha), and I would be burned alive for not being Christian. Feel free to add to the list.

So why do people resist change so much?

By the way, how many women are offended when a man doesn't take his hat off in your presence? And how many people are offended by flip flops because it shows your feet in public? How many parents punish their daughters for wearing jeans? Just curious.

I try to throw myself back into life. I try to help those I can. I reach out to family and friends... ...but all I need do is think of her and the tears flow, the pain wells up, doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing.

Everyone says time heals all wounds, but my father died forty years ago and the wound never healed.

How do I let go of my best friend and lover after so many years of happiness and bliss? How do I keep her in my heart when it brings so much pain? How can I give my heart to another, when so much of my heart is wrapped around her? How do I resolve all that was unsaid and unresolved?

I don't want to hear about Jesus and heaven. She wasn't christian, and Revelations 21:8 makes clear the fate of those who do not believe in Christ (and yes, I -do- know her beliefs, intimately).

How can I heal?

This is more a theological theory question... What is the purpose in giving the law to the Jews only after they left Egypt? Were Abraham's descendents not yet chosen as the Lord's people?

I always wonder why the west only sees Islam as Bin Laden, Al Zarqawi, and a bunch of suicide bombers…why don’t you give yourself a chance to understand its teachings with an open mind.

Believe it or not, “true” Muslims are only those who are peace-lovers....I admit that there are misinterpretations of some Quranic verses as well as an misunderstanding of some historical events, but this shall not make this religion a religion of terrorism..

Just think about the following: Do the prostitutes who wear crosses and have their bodies covered by tattoos of crosses represent Christianity? Shall one assume that Christianity allows prostitution? OF COURSE NOT

Guys, just think about what I said and relate it to terrorism and Islam…it is the same concept….very simple!

As a practicing Muslim, I really feel that I love the earth and its habitants…I even start my prayers by praying first for my enemies before my friends and family, coz maybe one day they become my friends

Killer whales have their own tricks for mending relations, a new study finds. Rather than a bouquet, however, they might opt for an intimate swim.
