"The Truth Will Set You Free" "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." So declared Jesus as he was teaching the multitudes in the temple in Jerusalem. (John 8:32
TODAY, however, some may find it difficult to identify the truth Jesus spoke about. As in the days of the prophet Isaiah, today there are "those who are saying that good is bad and bad is good, those who are putting darkness for light and light for darkness, those who are putting bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." (Isaiah 5:20
When Jesus said to his audience that the truth would set them free, they responded by saying: "We are Abraham's offspring and never have we been slaves to anybody. How is it you say, 'You will become free'?" (John 8:33
On another occasion Jesus said: "Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth." (John 17:17
How vital is it to know the truth? Many religions today, while claiming to follow the Bible, are largely influenced by human philosophies and traditions. Often, religious leaders seem not as concerned with the accuracy of their message as they are with its acceptance by the masses. Some feel that God is satisfied with any form of worship, as long as it is sincere. But Jesus Christ explained: "The hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him."-John 4:23
If we want to worship God acceptably, we must know the truth. This is an important issue. Our eternal happiness depends on it. Therefore, everyone should ask himself: 'Is my way of worship acceptable to God? Am I genuinely interested in learning the truth of God's Word? Or am I afraid of what a careful investigation might reveal?'

Do you suppose that your forefathers were as dismissive of the Germ Theory of Disease as being "just a theory", when it was so OBVIOUS to them that demonic possession and curses were the cause of all disease?
Do you think they asserted that it took as much faith to believe that the earth was round as it did to simply accept the holy scripture that "proved" it was flat?
Do you suppose they claimed that the proposed heliocentric solar system was "just as much of a religion" as the commonly accepted belief that the Earth was the center of the universe?
In any one of a MILLION instances where the evidence of scientific inquiry clashed with established religious dogma, do you suppose what people BELIEVED made one whit of difference as to what the factual REALITY of the universe was?
Science is a very effective means of gaining knowledge whereas revelation and scriptural study is not, and this fact is less surprising under atheism than theism. --From EbonMusings.org

My mother in law said they had sheets that they would put these pagan baby stickers on in catholic school.....(black, white, mexican,all races of babies) and she said you would get them from the nuns for doing something good, or not sinning...cant really remember....but she never got to get them all and was jealous of kids who had collected all their pagan babies.

Have you studied other religions? I'm still searching & will admit that I was raised as a Christian...but there are times that I've felt so very alone that it was painful.
Is it simply in our nature to feel the need to hold tightly to anything that allows us to feel that we are part of something?

Alright, so the Pope apologized to the Muslims and NOT Canada because Canadians aren't killing Nuns and destroying things in retaliation for their hurt feelings. I don't think this is right at all. Is it okay to not apologize to someone and TO apologize to someone else just because they're more agressive? Is it fair to dismiss the feelings of an entire nation because the other insulted nation is reacting differently? Are we telling people that we should NOT express remorse for hurtful words just because someone is handling their pain with dignity?

stated that we didn't evolve from monkeys but from a common animal that both evolved from. So I still have the same question!
Why did we , humans, not evolve with the phyical skills that monkeys have? Instead we evolved into pretty rigid, easliy broken, creatures. There can not be a logical answer to this but give it a shot. Why?

Why would a person conciously go out of their way and ignorantly condemn a whole group of people, of whom they know nothing about, for the supremely irrelevant and inconsequencial aspect of their sexual orientation and the sex acts they perform in the privacy and comfort of their private space with fellow consenting adults?

4:11 Allah directs you as regards your children's (Inheritance): to the male a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or
more, Their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her, share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to
each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers
the mother has a sixth, 4:12 In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment. 4:176 If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: If a woman dies and leaves no child, her brother takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance. If there are brothers and sisters, the male takes twice the share of the female.
The most common quoted issue which has been documented over and over and having actually have happened in Islamic law is the following:
A man dies and leaves behind three daughters, two parents and his wife.
The three daughters together will receive 2/3 of the share, the parents will receive 1/3 of the share and the wife will receive 1/8 of the share.
Do the math: 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/8 = 9/8 = 1.125. This shows that the distribution of property was devised by a person who had no real grasp of math. Since God is perfect and knows more math than any math genius on Earth why is this error there or allowed to happen?
Another problem: A man dies and leaves behind his mother, his wife and two sisters.
The mother will receive 1/3 of the property, the wife will receive 1/4 of the property and the sisters will receive 2/3 of the property.
Do the math: 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/4 = 5/4 = 1.25. This is not an isolated problem there are many examples. The hadiths gained in used to solve the problems of these errors over the literal words of Muhammad.
Why is this such a problem and not from God?
Simple Muhammad was making things up as he went. As an illiterate, he had no concept of how to add fractions which was not challenged by his followers who were for the most part also illiterate and why many islamic countries pride themselves to keep many of their people illiterate to prevent them from realizing the errors of Muhammad the false liar and a pagan of the first order leading brain washed idiots into death and destruction.
