The bible records and the koran- says Jesus fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy and was born of the virgin mary, lived without sin and went to heaven.

Isaiah 9:6 "Behold a virgin, shall concieve and bring forth God with us." hebrew words Alma-absolute virgin and a young maiden -bethula is the other word that could have been used means a woman living as a virgin--Joel 1:9 Lament like a virgin/bethulah for the husband of thy youth."

Why did Jesus have to be born pure-so he could live and die for our sins.

Isaiah 52vs13-53vs12 "He will be exaulted, but first marred more than any man. He will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins as a lamb."

Mary who called out "Behold my savior and my God." to Jesus-and He responded "Yes, and to all."

why do you think Jesus had to fulfill the prophecies-with no temple to sacrifice the needed blood atonement-Judaism Has its Messiah and atonement-anyone Jew that rejects this -isnt Jewish=no atonement No Messiah!

what do youThink?

How does time exist for a person who is blind, who is deaf, who cant smell, who has lost the sense of touch & taste?

If time still exists for such a person, can time be stopped for this person? What happens then?

but that won't convince these guys who "know" god's will.

How do you approach deprogramming a fundy?

"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

And, behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus), "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but One, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments.-(MATTHEW 19:16-17).

Was Jesus(pbuh) praying to himself in the first excerpt if he is one in three?

Why did Jesus(pbuh) in the second excerpt clearly indicate that noone is good, not even him, except God?

This is assuming if you believe in the Trinity

I see it all the time. Different sects of Christianity claiming Catholics aren't Christian. Don't Catholics believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God? Wouldn't that make Catholicism another brand (or sect) of Christianity? What am I missing here?

Non-Catholics seem to be much more vocal on the issue, especially since the Catholic Church/child rape scandal made headlines. Just an observation..........

i do not think it's healthy and i wouldn't do it because death has to come naturally on its own terms

my question really is, what's the difference between ending your life and being depressed for the most part of it. isn't that how people get cancer and other types of illness

what are your thoughts on this

thanks

I know I wouldn't.
Mohammed knew that sex would sell very well among the group of his lecherous followers who were motivated to fight battles by the promise of sex slaves and booty. By constantly emphasizing to his followers that they would get untouched virgins in Paradise, Mohammed is clearly expressing his "high" opinion of the institution of marriage and his fairness to women. Once the followers go to heaven, they can conveniently ditch their wives for the fresher and more pleasurable sexual encounters with 'Houris' (beautiful virgins).
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 55:56-57
In them will be bashful virgins neither man nor Jinn will have touched before.Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 78:31
As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high- bosomed virgins for companions: a truly overflowing cup.
Koran 37:40-48
...They will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches.
Koran 44:51-55
...Yes and We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris. (beautiful virgins)
Koran 52:17-20
...They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris (virgins) we shall wed them...
Koran 55:57-58
Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 56:7-40
...We created the houris (the beautiful women) and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand.. "
Koran 55:70-77
"In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair... Dark eyed virgins sheltered in their tents whom neither man nor Jinn will have touched before..
In the Hadiths, Mohammed goes one step further and expands the promise of virgins to include a free sex market where there is no limit of the number of sexual partners. Women and young boys are on display as if in a fruit market where you can choose the desired RIPENESS.
Quote from Hadiths
Al Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 172, No. 34
Ali reported that the Apostle of Allah said, "There is in Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, he will have intercourse with them."
Mohammed's promise of an Islamic Paradise that glittered with the fulfillment of all sorts of wordly desires and sense enjoyment was nothing but a sinister ploy to recruit those who had no hope or expectation of ever getting these things in their present lives. Knowing that they are assured of such a Paradise simply because they follow Islam, Muslims can go around committing murder, rape plunder and loot. It is the picture of this paradise that has motivated Muslims over the centuries to cut down people of other religions, to desecrate their places of worship and mistreat them in the name of Allah. Even at the point of death, the spritually deprived Prophet of Islam could not see beyond wine, women and food, leave alone exploring spiritual heights of the soul.

Or for that matter what is it that gives man the superior edge over beasts. If a dolphin had a human body would we par. Do we have a bodily advantage, mental advantage or for that matter even a spiritual advantage?

Christians, Muslims and Jews believe in the devil. Is this the common enemy, the devil divides the world ?

Is this the real enemy that pits man against man, brother against brother....?

Does it exist ?

How does it work ?

The Nazis took a dislike to the Jews because as far as they were concerned they had infiltrated the German community and sucked money from the economy to distribute amongst their own community. In effect they were taking from the native Germans and selling back but keeping and sharing the profits amongst themselves. Eventually the Nationals rebeled with the terrible outcome that has become one of the darkest episodes in history.I don't wish to offend anyone but isn't history repeating it's self in Britain with the Muslims? For example they take over entire areas in cities basicaly by buying people out then the people have to pay them to buy produce because they own the shops, they have to pay them to go places because they own the Taxis ( and pay more at Christmas etc. even though to the Muslims our religious celebration are just another day! ) what do we get back from them ? Do we get double time for working on their Religious days.? Should I now expect a death threat for an opinion
