So, you believe everything evolved from a big bang, well... where did the stuff come from that caused it? How did something come of nothing?
call me stupid but I believe there is a creator.

"19.16": And mention Marium in the Book when she drew aside from her family to an eastern place;
"19.17": So she took a veil (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our spirit, and there appeared to her a well-made man.
"19.18": She said: Surely I fly for refuge from you to the Beneficent God, if you are one guarding (against evil).
"19.19": He said: I am only a messenger of your Lord: That I will give you a pure boy.
"19.20": She said: When shall I have a boy and no mortal has yet touched me, nor have I been unchaste?
"19.21": He said: Even so; your Lord says: It is easy to Me: and that We may make him a sign to men and a mercy from Us, and it is a matter which has been decreed.
"19.22": So she conceived him; then withdrew herself with him to a remote place.
"19.23": And the throes (of childbirth) compelled her to betake herself to the trunk of a palm tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten!
"19.24": Then (the child) called out to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely your Lord has made a stream to flow beneath you;
"19.25": And shake towards you the trunk of the palmtree, it will drop on you fresh ripe dates:
"19.26": So eat and drink and refresh the eye. Then if you see any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent God, so I shall not speak to any man today.
"19.27": And she came to her people with him, carrying him (with her). They said: O Marium! surely you have done a strange thing.
"19.28": O sister of Haroun! your father was not a bad man, nor, was your mother an unchaste woman.
"19.29": But she pointed to him. They said: How should we speak to one who was a child in the cradle?
"19.30": He said: Surely I am a servant of Allah; He has given me the Book and made me a prophet;
"19.31": And He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer and poor-rate so long as I live;
"19.32": And dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me insolent, unblessed;
"19.33": And peace on me on the day I was born, and on the day I die, and on the day I am raised to life.
"19.34": Such is Isa, son of Marium; (this is) the saying of truth about which they dispute.
"19.35": It beseems not Allah that He should take to Himself a ! son, glory to be Him; when He has decreed a matter He only says to it "Be," and it is.
"19.36": And surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path.
"19.37": But parties from among them disagreed with each other, so woe to those who disbelieve, because of presence on a great
"19.38": How clearly shall they hear and how clearly shall they see on the day when they come to Us; but the unjust this day are in manifest error

If a pople is considered to be a holy prophet, was pope urbanus also a holy prophet for Catholics?

Does the very idea of a Pope/Vicar of Christ on Earth, come from this notion that a pope is a Prophet? Is it still relevant until now?

Is it true that that there are TWO Popes? What is the other?

My best friend is pulling away from me and our faith. He's met this girl who is totally disrespectful and uncouth. She's often questioning the word of Christ and putting doubts about the bible in his head. She's gone so far as to say that we our blinded by our religion and not seeing the world with "unbias" eyes. Excuse me but I rather see things through God's eyes than satanic eyes.

It went too far when he confided in me that they had engaged in unholy and self-deprecating activities, what she coined as "holy penetration". I told him he should be ashamed of himself for letting that sex-deprived whore from ruining his chances for getting into Christian heaven. Christ burned to death to pay for our sins. Christ did it to show that we can count on him when the going going gets rough.

Should I confront this tramp and tell her to leave my best friend alone? What should I say to her? I wish harm upon her as she has ruin the mind of a good Christian. She is trash in God's eyes!

In Islam, it is believed that on the Day of Reckoning, God will judge the dead, sending the righteous to Heaven and unrepentant evildoers to Hell.

Some Ahadith include a Muhammad-like holy warrior, the Mahdi (whom Shi'a equate with the long-lived Twelfth Imam), who will be accompanied by the Prophet Jesus to fight the Antichrist, various Beasts, the Gog and Magog tradition, angelic heralds with trumpets, civil war, natural disasters and signs in the heavens, and a clash between Jesus and the Antichrist.

Mahdi will fight Antichrist; but it will be Jesus who kills him at the gate of Ludd. Then Gog and Magog will appear from all directions, drink all water. Jesus and the believers will go to the mountains; Jesus will pray to God Almighty and He will send worm like creatures that will attack Gog and Magog on their necks. Then huge birds with camel like necks will carry their corpses away. The earth will be washed with rains. There will be peace on earth for 40 years. Jesus will marry and

Matthew 25:6-13 Right in the middle of the night there arose a *cry,* 'HERE IS THE BRIDEGROOM, be on your way out to meet him.'

Then all those virgins rose and put their lamps in order.

The foolish said to the discreet, 'Give us some of your oil,' because our lamps are about to go OUT.

The discreet answered with the words, 'Perhaps there may not be quite enough for us and for your. Be on your way, instead and to those who sell it and buy it for yourselves.'

While they were going off to buy, the bridegroom arrived, and the virgins that were ready went in to the marraige feast, and the door was shut.

Afterwards the rest of the virgins also came saying, 'Sir open to us!'

In answer he said, 'I tell you the truth, I do not know you.'

"Keep on the watch, because you know neither the day nor the hour."

NOW YOU DO KNOW THE HOUR.

Mark 4:22 For there is *nothing* hidden except for the purpose of being exposed, nothing carefully concealed but for the purpose of COMING INTO THE OPEN.

I know this goes agianst alot of Pagan sensibilities, but I'm only asking a question. What if Pagans began to evangelize the way that Christians and Muslims do, going door to door, passing out leaflets, holding vigils and having public scerimoneis. What is your take on this?

say, as the Holy Spirit, to Moses, Abraham, Jesus, Muhammad, or other prophets?
These claims again are uncorroborated by objective eyewitnesses. They are rather promulgated by propagandists of the various faith traditions that have been inflicted on societies and enforced by entrenched ecclesiastical authorities and political powers. They are supported by customs and traditions buried for millennia by the sands of time and institutional inertia. They are simply assumed to be true without question.
The ancient documents alleging God's existence are preliterate, pre-philosophical, and, in any case, unconfirmed by scientific inquiry. They are often eloquent literary expressions of existential moral poetry, but they are unverified by archeological evidence or careful historical investigation. Moreover, they contradict each other in their claims for authenticity and legitimacy.
The ancient faith that God is a person has not been corroborated by the historical record. Such conceptions of God are anthropomorphic and anthropocentric, reading into the universe human
