Many "christians" say that God (Jesus Christ)loves everybody. But the Bible does not support that statement! Psalms 11:5 states, "The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." We also read in Psalms 5:5, "The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity."
There may be some that are saying that I am using just the Old Testament but look what God says in Romans 9:13, "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." And this was before Jacob and Esau were even born (Romans 9:11). I know that there are no contradictions in the Bible.

Checking out Second Chronicles, chapters 1-9, I found no wrong in him. God loved him, rewarded him exceedingly for his faith, granted him wisdom (mind you, -God- granted him wisdom, a flawless gift), he ruled forty years and died rich and much loved, with more wives and concubines than any other man I've ever heard of.

So, why do -you- judge him harshly for having so many wives and concubines? If God blessed him, who are you to condemn him? If he had God-given wisdom, don't you think he knew what he was doing with all these wives and concubines?

Im not sure why this question isnt getting the response... Here is the example I am looking for - I KNOW pork is forbidden, but are PORK PRODUCTS such as foods containing gelatin also forbidden - gelatin is in Jello, candies, etc...I also know VANILLA EXTRACT is forbidden because of its alcohol content...does that in turn mean that devoutly practicing muslims cannot have vanilla coffee or vanilla ice cream?

PS...Im not looking for bigoted answers here, I am hoping to hear from a Muslim or someone familiar with all forms of Islam that can help me with my research. Thank you

i don't think god exists because he is all knowing but that would imply that he knows whats going to happen in the future but that's impossible because that would mean we have preset destiny's but we cant have preset destiny's because that would mean that we don't have free will and that would mean that life is completely pointless

In my last question, some guy called "bob" or something plain and unimagintive like that told me I'm a racist for asking why there's a sword on the Saudi Arabian flag.

Did the the definition of the word "racist" change since Muslim terrorists flew planes in to the WTCs on 9/11?

Freedom we have had,
To live our own intent,
But in our petty selfishness,
A whole world we have spent.
We smile about our arrogance,
Delight in being dumb,
And in the greedy hands of few,
The masses do succumb,
In the strongest nations,
The people become weak,
And blind themselves to others,
While all around they sneak,
The men of thought are ridiculed,
No longer useful tools,
The masses laughing play and sing,
And place thier faith in fools,
In our mindless hurry,
We do not stop and see,
The warnings earth is giving,
In air on land at sea,
Some laugh at Satan haughtily,
I'm not afraid it's true,
But I have news my foolish friend,
He's not afraid of you,
And stiff-necked proud ye hypocrites,
Looking to Judgement Day,
God looks past the few you save,
To those you turned away,
Our eyes we must now open,
Our ears so we may hear,
Or we will learn only too late,
The Lord is one to fear.

Saudi Arabia proudly displays a picture of a SWORD on their flag.
They put this right below some Arabic words that praise God. What a great combination...God and a deadly weapon.

Do any countries have a gun on their flag? How about a bomb? None?

Not a question for nay-sayers. Answer why you would use cryonics as a vehicle to visit the future. Visiting family? Flying cars? Space exploration? New frontiers in science? Spiritual exploration? Expansion of human experience? Curiosity in our human nature? Continue and improve upon the good works that you were placed here on Earth to do? Other?

IFor those of you who look at the picture, you'll notice a bunch of Arabic scribbling which says something like "Allah is God and Mohammad is a prophet" but right underneath it, you'll see a weapon. A deadly weapon. A weapon used to kill people and cut off their heads. It's a sword.

Remeber when the Pope quoted someone talking about Islam being spread by the sword? HMMM. Saudi Arabia = Islam headquarters, and they chose to put a SWORD no their flag!

What does this tell you?
