He was going to sacrifice his son. I thought that Christians preach that it is the Satanists who sacrifice children, not the "children of God"

Your thoughts?

(BTW, saying that it was only a test of faith is not an answer, Abraham was actually going to murder and cremate his son, he didn't know it was a test)

I mean, no way a human covers themselves from head to toe, in heat attracting black, in a desert, unless forced to do so, by law or custom. So, all those muslim woman who die of heat exhaustion die BECAUSE OF Islam, or because of what task master allah demands.

However, according to Surah 4, a Muslim only is certain of heaven by dying in combat with Allah's created enemies of the Islamic state.

Shouldnt the Quran be re-written to equitably ensure paradise for woman who die of black burgue heat exhaustion for Allah?

They've told them to basically leave if they don't want drop their cultural heritage and become mainfold australians?
Did the white settlers to australia adopt aboriginal cuture? Is this not a violation of human rights? People have their own religious and cultural identities which every secular nation should protect their right to practice! Should australia be boycotted from the world stage for still practicing apartheid?

In Genisis he appeared before and spoke directly to Adam, Eve, Cain, etc. He appeared to Moses and spoke directly to hi, and yet he SENT the holy spirit to impregnate Mary and SENT an angel to tell her about it. Perhaps by then the human population had grown to the point where he couldn't do it all himself and that's why he needed the holy spirit and Jesus? as partners in GOD inc.? After that he mostly sent angels and the saints started getting included a lot--with the population explosion, we are a thousand times more people than there were on the earth in biblical times, and now we keep hearing that God works through us--entry level employees in GOD inc.? What if George Carlin spoke as a prophet when he suggested that even God might be limited by some physical laws, and cannot be in so many places at once?

Note: I'm looking for real answers here--if you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say it. (E.G. god is love, god is in our hearts, god doesn't exist, etc)

Some Muslims and leftists in here really hate this western idea of free speech...well, amid their crying and whiining and reporting and threatining I also have a confession --- I am sick of all the Islamic armed conflicts worldwide.

Im sick of opening up my news web page and seeing angry Muslims in somewhere rioting or killing or protesting. Im sick of Muslims being sick of free speech. Im sick of Muslims putting a gun to everyones head and shreiking "respect my violent religion you kafir!"

But, in fairness to Muslims, I might be even sicker of ignorant spinless leftists drones who apologize for the super duper ultra religious wacko right wing --- ISLAM.

Why is there such a big fuss about darwin and evolution theory as opposed to creation theory? I really dont understand how forward thinking people cannot seem to be able to combine them both. Evolution is a fact, there is way too much supporting evidence for it. However noone really knows where the fundamental life that all life evolved from came from, surely thats a good basis for a modern darwin creation theory? I mean its stupid to take the bible literally, it is very very old and has been edited (by accident and design) probably hundreds of times. Surely noone believes that god literally made the earth in 7 days... like whats a day to a god? a hundred years? a million? Also am i going to hell for bringing this up? (someone is bound to say it) Does god have any nark with free speech?

those of the christian faith, how would you respond to this---

it would be boring if you were happy all the time, experiencing pain is the only time you know you're truly alive... so if you're in heaven and not experiencing pain you must be dead, right?

If Muslimahs have their clitoris removed at birth, or, for some other reason dont feel attracted to men, like normal woman do, then I understand why Muslim men arent also covered up like seasonal furniture...however, if Muslimahs work like normal woman, then it makes no sense and simply resembles steer branding.

It takes two to tango right? If a Muslimah woman cannot also feel desire for the man, cause he has also covered up his shameful body and face for angry allah, then the probablity of adultry IS FURTHER REDUCED. See the point?

Sure, because of testosterone men are more agressive, but if a Muslimah is a normal woman, she will feel attracted in some situations and try to put herself in a position to better make a sexual encounter happen when she SEES a man she desires.

In fact, many people believe its woman who subtly make the first move anyway, so maybe it makes more sense for men, not woman, to cover up totally.

1. Is hiring escort's a sin? Like a one time thing, just having pleasure.

2. Is sex before marriage a sin? I would also like to know that

3. Is oral sex a sin?

Sorry that all my questions had to do with sexuality, but that's the only thing that has the potential to injure my Christanity...'cause everything I'm fine with. Thanks!

I do.I believe that life continues after death but under different forms.Let me give you an example.When people sleep,which is similar to death,they sometimes have nightmares and sometimes good dreams.When they die ,they will have eternal dreams,good or bads.It depends on the nature and deeds of their souls.
I don't believe in incarnation because when Man dies his soul discards his body and will never go back to a matter.
That's what I feel and I hope that's right.

I did a search for the word "terror" in the New International Version and came up with the following:

Genesis 35:5
Then they set out, and the terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.
Exodus 23:27
"I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.
Deuteronomy 2:25
This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you."
Deuteronomy 11:25
No man will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.
1 Samuel 11:7
He took a pair of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent the pieces by messengers throughout Israel, proclaiming, "This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel." Then the terror of the LORD fell on the....

There is nothing in your religion that says you have to wear the hijab and other veils. This is a way of your UNsecure men to feel secure so that no other man can look at you......

IT is also an insult and mistrusting you if your men prefer you women to wear hijabs and veils as it means that they do not trust you not to have sexual thoughts and actions when you see other men. Surely you Can and do control your urges....so many women do....so what is so special about muslim women that they have to cover themselves. Your men do not respect you.....thay are unsecure and therefore make you wear the veils....what a joke ......Islam does not say for you to wear the veil ...it is your cultural hang ups pr rather should i say of your men ...that is causing all this. Take off your veils and let us see you......do not live in the middle ages.....but also follow islam!
