The question was "How can you sing "Amazing Grace" if you have free will?"
I just don't understand how this persons question violated anything!

The sun shines its light on all without discrimination. Using that as an example, what makes it so difficult for humans to radiate such unconditional love.

If one were to love a particular person more than the other, it means that the love is conditional.

What do you think of this passage from the 1 Corinthians 11:2-16

Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved.If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.A man ought not to cover his head,since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.

Do you think the covering refers to long hair,or a literal covering?I

John 14:16, And I shall pray father, and he shall give you another Comforter (Helper; paracletus)…..…for ever.
John 14:26, but the comforter whom the father will send in my name, he shall teach all things and bring all the things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26, But when he is come….He shall testify of me!!!

Quran Testify and Unfolds Prophecy of Bible!

Al-Imran 3:21 Verily! Those who disbelieve in the Ayah (commandments, signs) of Allah and kill the prophets without right, and kill people, who order just things, announce to them a painful torment.

Al-Imran 3:55 And Remember! When Allah said “O! Iesa (Jesus)! I will take you and rise you to my-self and clear you of those who disbelieve and I will make superior to those who believe in Books till the day of resurrection.Then you will return to me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute."
Now, since God has decided, it is time for Thanks and Remembrance!!!

Somehow I feel that this is not the real issue but an attempt to hide the true one. Why do so many seem to have so many problems with it?

I accept that women (and men) must dress modestly in the company of strangers, and not display themselves, I accept that Hijab (scarf) is a sign of respect, but where is it said to be mandatory to cover a women's face with the veil. In all my research I have not encountered this ruling!

If you, claiming to know the truth, can't stop sinning, why should anyone listen to you?

In the Revelation's Epilogue, it is written as it follows:

Revelation 22:18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

I have noticed that some translations do add titles to the chapters of the Book of Revelation. For example, the following titles retrived from the New King James Version:

7:1 The sealed of Israel
7:9 A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
15:1 Prelude to the Bowl Judgments
17:1 The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast

Is there the same “visibility” for all religions?
A lot of space is granted by the public television to the news regarding the Pope and the Catholic Church. Should the public televisions grant more space to information and leaders of other religions? And when I say other religions, I mean the Evangelists and the other Christian religions, but not only. For example, do you think that the space granted to the Evangelists is proportionate to one reserved to the Catholics, according to the number of the adherents they have?

The mind is a bundle of thoughts. If the soul is not a bundle of thoughts then is one soul different from another. It is ok for one mind to be different from anothers because of idealogies, beliefes etc.

Also, for believers - how can the soul be judged upon death if it has no attributes ie. the mind is the one that makes choices. Or is it the mind that is being judged?

It is said that head scarfs do not have to be worn as part of religion so then she has no right to wear it. So If I made up my own religion called "FLARB" and we all had to have cupholders attached to our noses would the government have to recognise that?

The Apocalypse of John is a book full of symbols, therefore knowing the meaning of these symbols, can help us understand better the secret meaning of the book’s content. Being acquainted with the symbols already explained in the book, could hold the key to the other symbols that for the moment remain ignored or uncertain. Some of the following passages show us unequivocally, the meaning of some symbols: the seven stars, the seven lampstands, the seven eyes, the seven heads, the beast, the ten horns and the fine linen.

Revelation 1:20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
