A martyr blows himself up to further the cause. A saint lets a martyr blow themselves up for the cause.

"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’

And he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "
[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]

Jesus (pbuh) did not say that to have the eternal life of paradise, man should believe in him as Almighty God or worship him as God, or believe that Jesus (pbuh) would die for his sins. On the contrary he said that the path to salvation was through keeping the commandments. It is indeed striking to note the difference between the words of Jesus Christ (pbuh) and the Christian dogma of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus (pbuh).



Al-Qur'an 20:25-28
Greet you in the same manner as Jesus (pbuh) greeted in Hebrew Luke 24:36
‘Sholam alay kum’
or Islamic greeting in Arabic Assalaamu alai kum
both meaning ‘Peace be on you’.

For those who may not know, the 3-Fold Law goes something like this:

Ever mind the Rule of Three
Three times what thou givest returns to thee
This lesson well, thou must learn
Thee only gets what thou dost earn!

John 14: 1-2

1Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

I need to make a prayer that will relate to this scripture! Please help! Thanks <3

Everyone knows that Jews were/are resented for being moneylenders, and Islamic finance does not involve interest. When and why did Christians decide that interest was just not a religous issue?

Jesus said: " I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus

" Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved". (Acts 4:12)

"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Non-Christians only.

My personal favorite was when some Mormon missionaries came knocking, and I answered the door buck naked. They were speechless, but they couldn't turn away.

God is good and merciful?? I love my children, no matter what. My youngest daughter is seeing a man I dont approve of and I still love her... my kids live lives that are not always as I would like.. my friends make bad choices.... But I still love them all the same...
Why then would GOD punish any who choose the wrong path or make mistakes..... isnt that just petty?.
What kind of nasty insecure diety would DEMAND that we love them or suffer for eternity....?
Even if my kids turn against me I love them, but God just seems to threaten pain and punishment for any indiscretion.... If a father had that attitude to his offspring we would call him a monster!!

Muslims claim Jesus was a prophet but reject all His teachings ..
They reject His divinity;

they reject Christ's claim to be the Son of God;
they reject his death on the cross;
they reject His ressurrection..
They reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
Need I say more...?

Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .

As a christian it is common knowledge, that we are sinners. Although we spend our life trying to perfect our imperfections by the grace of Jesus Christ. We will never be perfect like him until we are resting in him. Yet we do have our moments. Although, there are those of us who still suffer. Honestly, I have a problem with pornography. If you were to ask me about it though, I'd say it's terrible, it should be illegal, and especially more regulated on the internet. Some would call me a hypocrite, when in fact I'm standing up for my belief. Just because I fall into temptation doesn't mean I like it. We are called hypocrites for things of that nature.Yet were the things we rallying against, yet still suffer with, were more consciously eliminated by the public would we not have more time, energy, and money to be well spent on real problems?

I guess what I'm trying to say is, a christian who practices his faith, but slips up is only a human.He's trying.Who's the real hypocrite?

The Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption! "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it (i.e., the bible) into a LIE. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws, that they had turned the Bible into a lie!

The only thing I heard from any Muslims after 9/11 is about their religion, the Quran and how peaceful they are. I think most Muslims just don't care about it and some rejoiced when Twin Towers destroyed.

in our church, worshippers claim that the Lord God is Jesus. I even heard it from our priest. But the bible says that God is Jehova? It is His name! But i wonder, no one in our family (which has been an active member of our church) knows about Jehova. I just wonder why? And almost the rest of the people in our community.Yes, they heard about the name, and that's all. That's all and no one cares! Honestly I never heard any priest speak this name during testimonies. Anyone could give me the EXACT explanation of this? I need to know and anyone with a situation like mine needs too.

First....let me give you background in what I believe and if you believe the same....please don't hesitate to answer. I believe that Jesus is the Son of the living God and that he gave his life for Me so that I may have eternal life.
Now on to the question.....what are some of the ways you've found effective for you to meet decent christian men who share your faith and who are able to take a spiritual leadership role in the home. Besides church....what other functions have you found are good places to meet people of like faith?

A rapist, a pedophile, a thief. Are you truly forgiving of them? I ask this because of a Human Services career I'm pursuing. I've come to realize that these people have had thier share of abuse & we shouldn't judge until we truly understand. My thoughts are...I don't have to like what you do to help you better yourself.
From a religious standpoint I realize these are all sinful activities...but does your faith allow you to forgive?
