And the CHILDREN of Israel crossed the Red Sea?
And the CHILDREN of Israel entered the Holy Land?
What did all the GROWN UPS do?

11. O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).

12. O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting)[] . And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful

after this verse allah call us to co- exist with ppl even from different beliefs

I know there are plenty of Young Earth Creationist's out there (earth is 6,000 years old or less). When you look at those amazing pics from the Hubble and the explanation of some huge galaxy that has been colliding with another for 300 million years or something, do you think the scientists are deluded?
Example: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdes...

Do you think the galaxy is even as far away as they claim? (541 million light years away or so). Do you think it's closer? I'm honestly curious.
Sorry for the dup, but I didn't get one single answer before.

Does that mean then that all the true Christians converted during Jesus's time are the only ones that will get to heaven then under this claim? Why bother then??? Why did Peter then say that the promise of being saved was not just for the people standing there that he was talking to but for even their children and for those who are far away and would hear the message too? (Acts 2:38)

Lets say some total pyscho captured you and had ever intent to torture just shy of death ever day for the rest of his life. To the point where you would endure much more torture than Jesus ever did, and you were given the option early to end your own life. Would you do it? Do you think you would go to hell for it?

Personally, I believe that it doesnt matter if a child was born out of wedlock. That child would enter into Heaven based upon his actions throughout his life and not if he was concieved within wedlock or not. However, I have heard debate on this and I would like to hear your opinions.

Such idea contradicts many verses in the bible

John 5
28. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
29. and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
Romans 2:7 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Revelation 20:9
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

According to many reference materials, including the textbook of my son in high school, the following are facts:

1.There is no designer nor maker of life. It came by chance. A strong lightning just happened to hit a group of protein. These proteins eventually arranged themselves and became simple life. Simple life then became complex life.

2.Plants and animals behave either to adapt or survive. Only the fittest survive, the weak should be eliminated.

3.Mathematicians however say that the chance for no. 1 to occur is 1/ 10 x 9 zeros.

A questioning mind would naturally ask:

1.If all life forms happened by chance, then why is it that the human sexual organ is not found in our forehead? Or, why is it that our mouths are not located on our hands. Such locations would save time and energy. Further they would appear to enhance adaptation. right?

CHRISTIANS - out of respect to you I would request that you hit the back button on your browser as I will not entertain your answers at all. I'm not bashing you, so please don't come here to bash, give me scripture that I have already read many times, name call or harass.

Many believe that reincarnation is the evolution of the soul...that through experiences our soul grows. If we evolve as a species might we also not evolve spiritually? Could we be in a never ending chain of lives? Where would it end? Could we all not be "god", or rather pieces of god, experiencing mortality and striving to reach spiritual perfection to be rejoined with the source? In this case god would exist, but in what form...unconscious energy? Similar to a deist belief....that god is not involved....but possibly is us?

I know I'm rambling, but if anyone has serious ideas, theories or theologies along any of these lines to share I would love to hear them!

Growing up my parents were very against religion. The sight of a church or a cross disgust them. Going through traumatic situations and always coming out better I have believed in a higher power and it has helped. I have seen many what I believe connections to God and I would like to convert to a religion. To be honest I do not know much about religion and do not understand any bible I have read. So, I am wondering how do I find and get involved with a religion?

Thank You for any help you can offer.

Example: Ecclesiastes 10:20 " Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber; for bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter". Is that our equvilance of " A little bird told me"?

It seems that both believers and non-believers both have quoted the Book of Leviticus quite often on here. I was just curious, obviously, this particular book of the Bible has some items no longer followed by most modern Christians. Is there a standard practice for following certain tenets while overlooking others? Do other religions do this as well?

In this question (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsnH_UANJdJsPpNPaDRLStzsy6IX?qid=20061018125426AANVqMo
I told the poster that I do not believe in the divinity of Jesus. He responded with "Of course you believe in Jesus' divinity."

Um... what? No I don't.

As you can see, the debate went back and forth for a while. No matter what I said, he pet insisting that I must believe that Jesus was divine.

Why does he think that he can tell me what I believe better than I can? Is this a common Christian trait, or just his own personal delusion? I'm not trying to be disrespectfull here, I'm just confused as to why he thinks he can tell me I believe in Jesus when I very firmly do not.

It's not meant to insult. I always consider mormons as Christians because you believe in Jesus. Yes you also have the book of Mormon, but you still believe in Jesus therefore you are Christian, right?

I think if we really looked after our brothers and sisters instead of killing them, they would be less likely to attack us.
As a so called Christian nation, wouldn't it be nice if we all acted a little more like Christ?
I think that's a nice thought but I'll bet there would be some 'christians' who would hate me for saying that.
God bless you all.
May peace reign.... soon
