Why do Christians love Jesus more than God?
Or do they think Jesus is God or even his son? In the ansiant times people asked Mosa to show them God so that they would believe in him.God ordered Mosa to call them all to a mountain.Then they saw that mountain trembled and faded away and all those people including Mosa collapsed.Even a mountain could'nt bear God to reveal.So how do you believe that God was born in shape of Jesus?It's impossible.And if you think Jesus is the son of God again you are wrong.why?Because at that time you admit that God has a wife (and probably other relatives too).God is unique and you cannot compare him with anything els.Our first Imam (Imam Ali) is one of those highly praised people by God in holy Quran.Whenever I study their behaviour and kindness I simply cry and understand that how far my behaviour is from theirs.At that time some people thought Imam Ali is God.But God sent a message to prophet Mohammad and told him : tell them to leave this thought or they will be destroyed by God.(I mean going to hell by the word destroyed).You see that comparing God with other creatuers,humans,things is one of the most unforgivable sins.As a Christian you must love Christ.Not loving him is surely a big sin.But not necessarily call him God or his son.Even if some day Moslems decide to worship prophet Mohammad instead of God or even call them son and father they will go to hell.That's exactly what Quran says.Infidels have edited holy Bible.I've seen fictional statements in the Bible such as: God restles with prophet or envies him.While God in Quran is a perfect being that is unique,has no sons or partners,does'nt have any of bad ajdectives which can be found among humans (such as eviness which is a mortal sin in Islam).Infidels have edited the truly Bible and they will never be forgiven by God because they have caused lots of people to have some wrong beliefs.You think there are seven sins in Christianity but you can be sure that there are more.It's not acceptable that some of the works are sin in Islam but they are not sins in Christianity while we are all the same humans.In Islam we have more than 32 mortal sins such as : telling lies,enviness,fornication (pre-marriage sex),worshiping someone apart from or along with God,usury,backbiting,pride,shortchanging,gambling,prodigality,religious innovations,calumny,theft, and so on.So infidels may have simplified Christianity according to their own will as well as changing holy Bible.And please understand that this is not because I want to blame you.you have the right to believe in whatever you choose too.this was just an advice from a friend.forgive me if this annoys you.This is for your own good.I love you.

in her body for the rest of her life. This means that Mary, the mother of Jesus, always had the cells of the Son of God in her body. In the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy of Holies which God dwelled within, could not be touched by sinful men or they would die. What could this mean to how we see Mary?

When we look at someone, we tend to look at one thing at a
time. The eyes, the nose, the mouth.
Try taking a persons whole face in at once, and see the GLOW!
The spirit and the LIFE in them!

I have always been interested in knowing if being born without a human father is only a Jesus matter. If anyone know or read about something like that, I would want to read about him and know what his achievements could have been and the like so please let me know.

If so, does it indicate faster or slower? I am thinking of a couple of odd incidents. Daniel waited three weeks for an answer to his prayer, but the angel said he was dispatched on the first day, but only just arrived...a little spiritual turbulence. And then ther are those verses about a day like a 1000 years...and then I am thinking of the time the angel broke Peter out of prison. He seemed to be in a real big rush...not exactly the sit around and chit-chat over a harp kind of guy. Where did he have to go? What would he have been missing, if he had stuck around a minute to talk with one of the first apostles?

He was a loving father of two young children, has a wonderful wife, and was very active in the community. Now, I found out that the members of Westboro Babtist Church are planning to be there to Mock and protest his funeral!!!! This was an honorable man and decorated American hero and his family deserves the right to pay their last "RESPECTS"

Is there anything I can do? Is there anything that our community can do? What would you do if this was your close friend/family member?

I know that these people are not true Christians and give the Christians as a whole a bad name. They are nothing more than a "We hate everyone and everything organization"

Christians have a hard time justifying their decisions to create children.

They can't promise these children Heaven. They can't explain why they aren't being arrogant in having children. They can't even refute the charge that they are being selfish for choosing to create souls who may very well end up in Hell. They can't explain why more souls choose to be born to non-Christians than to Christians.

They can't even find scripture to tell them whether a soul has a choice to be born or whether they are forcing souls into this world by the act of conception.

So why are Christians so touchy about this subject?

This is pretty straighforward, although I'm issuing a challenge with this. Whoever is the first to get all of these correct will receive best answer. Christians, if there are any I've forgotten, please let me know, and I will post them either on this question, or another.
Everyone else, I encourage you to do this for your religion (or lack thereof, if you're an atheist.), that's my challenge.
This is on Christians. The next part will be on Christianity.
SO, true or false?
1. Christians hate science.
2. Christians love homosexuals, but disagree with the lifestyle.
3. Christians are not allowed to question their beliefs.
4. All Christians attend church.
5. All Christians are uneducated.
6. Many scientists have been theists, or Christians.
7. All Christians are hypocrites.
8. Some Christians believe in evolution.
9. Christians are racist.
10. All Christians only listen to Christian music.

I occasionally read the Qur'an for more knowledge but I noticed that the explanations at the bottom of every page are longer than the main text. I can only say about the english version as i don't read arabic and i noticed an english version that is very hard to understand. I would have wanted a Qur'an all by itself and leave the readers something to meditate or think about. I think that all muslims just believe every explanation without any question.

As an Atheist, I usually get a lot of commentaries about not ragging of other religions, but this time it is different. I wonder why a lot of my fellow Atheists are "okay" with Buddhism or follow it themselves? Did you know that they teach reincarnation? What evidence is there for that? Did you know the original teachings of the Buddha said that homosexuals would come back to earth as some siamese monster thing because homosexuality was evil? I realize the new Dahli Lama has now accepted gays, but why be okay with a religion that is hypocritical on its beliefs because of political correctness? At least the Christians have the balls to stand up for their homophobia (though I personally find that belief wrong). So why are some of my fellow Atheists okay with it?

If you have not sent any souls to Heaven, what makes you think you can create and nurture a soul that will achieve Heaven?

Or do you care whether the soul you create achieves Heaven or ends up in Hell?

How selfish is it to create a soul that ends up in Hell? How arrogant to presume you can raise a soul to achieve Heaven when you have yet to demonstrate your ability to enter the Kingdom?

Despite the affirmation of the author of the Gospel according Luke regarding the fact that he hasn’t been witness to the events and therefore not even disciple, many people believe nowadays that the four evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John correspond to the four disciples of Jesus. So, do you believe the same thing, that is, the fact that the four evangelists have been among the twelve disciples of Jesus? Here I am quoting the passage in which Luke, the evangelist, affirms not to have been witness to the facts:
Luke 1:1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 2just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught. - English Standard Version
