With this question I don't mean to offend anybody. Offensive behaviour is not even in my nature. Sure, I question religions, I have no faith in God, but I have sincere questions about the Bible. This question is one of them. I hope you won't take any offense to this question, as it is not intended to do that.

Rats, now I forgot what I wanted to ask. That always happens, the disclaimers that are needed on this forum before people understand that a questioner is truly curious, takes away too much time and space. *sigh*

Which brings me to the real question I wanted to ask: What is the value of a Q&A forum, when the basic assumption of the answerer is that almost any question is meant to offend?

Please do not answer with a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with the question.

Do you believe in the power of prayer? Are the results multiplied when there are many people, all with the same intention, praying at once? Thank you for your responses.

Will Jesus come back down with the holes in his hands and the cut in his side, or without the scars of Crucifixion, or with a Hebrew name?

Will Jesus come back down wearing the same clothes he wore when he left or will he be dressed like Usama or Billy Graham or George Bush or naked like Zeus the Sky God?

Will Jesus come back down as a Jew-for-Jesus or a Muslim-for-Jesus or a born-again-for-Lord-Jesus or as a priest or as a Christian?

Will Jesus come back down in Damascus or in New York or in London or in Jerusalem or in the Vatican and will he borrow the Pope-mobile?

Please answer this question without getting angry and acting like terrorists?

The five Eucharistic Mysteries:
The Wedding Feast at Cana
The Feeding of the Multitude
The Teaching on the Bread of Life
The Passover of our Lord
The Road to Emmaus

reflect the ultimate and eternal sacrifice of Jesus Christ:
Abel offered a lamb to God and later John the Baptist said, “This is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world.”
Abraham was going to faithfully offer his only son when an angel of God stopped him, he sacrificed a sheep God provided.
At Passover Moses had lambs sacrificed that had to be eaten with unleavened bread.
Then the Israelites ate Manna in the desert that they did not recognize and Moses told them “This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.”

For me the three good are:
that I care, that I try to listen, and that I seek to learn.
The not so favorites are:
I talk too much, I can be lazy at times, and I worry too much what others think.

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; second, to liberty; third, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.
Just and true liberty, equal and impartial liberty, in matters spiritual and temporal, is a thing that all men are clearly entitled to by the eternal and immutable laws of God and nature as well as by the law of nations and all well grounded municipal laws, which must have their foundation in the former.
In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights, when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defense of those very rights...

So that I play fair, I'd have to say some social movements, like abolition and the move against child labor, had a strong push from christianity.

Biblical prophecy on the advent of Muhammad (PBUH)

John 4:15-16
“If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide for you forever.”

Muslim theologians have said that “another Comforter” is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah; and him to “abide forever” means the perpetuity of his laws and way of life and the Book (Qur’an), which was revealed, to him.


note: ANOTHER COMFORTER, means another not the same (holy spirit)


John 15:26-27
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”

note:conforter + spirit of truth



John 16:5-8
“But now I go my way to Him that sent me and none of you asketh me ‘whither goest thou?’ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled you heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and approve righteousness and judgment.”


John 16:12-14
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and he shall show it unto you.”

note: in the Quran God says that Muhammad is not talking from himself, also God revealed the Quran to him trough the angel gabriel because he was illetrate he couldn't write and the prophet recited each verse and chapter he received to people in a periode of 23 years without any contradiction


John 16:16
“ A little while and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.”


Muslim theologians have stated that the person who is described by Jesus to come after him – in the above verses – does not comply with any other person but Muhammad (PBUH) the Messenger of Allah. This ‘person’ whom Jesus prophesied will come after him is called in the Bible ‘Parqaleeta’ This word was deleted by later interpreters and translators and changed at times to ‘Spirit of Truth’, and at other times, to ‘Comforter’ and sometimes to ‘Holy Spirit’. The original word is Greek and it’s meaning is ‘one whom people praise exceedingly.’ The sense of word is applicable to the word ‘Muhammad’ (in Arabic).
note1: Muslim are waiting for the return of Jesus who will brake the cross and bring all religions toghether in one way the true path the submission to the will of God wich means Islam in arabic.

note 2: be carefull with the deletion from the bible and addition and misinterpretation .

Mathew 19:16-17 -
" And behold, one came and said unto him, '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 (i.e) God, but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.'"

In the above verses we note this acknowledgement of his submissiveness (to God's Will)
Mathew 21:45-46 -
"And when the chief priests and pharisees had heard his parable, they perceived that he spoke of them. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared teh multitude because they took him for a Prophet."

Here it is proved that all those who believed in Jesus during his lifetime did not believe in him being God or the Son of God or one in the doctirne of Trinity; but they believed in him as being a prophet only. This is indeed one of the strongest points of evidence against those who believe in teh Divinity of Jesus (Incarnation of God) if only they pondered.

Mathew 24:36 -
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no , not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

This is a definite proof that the Final Hour is unknown to any but Allah, thus Jesus knowledge is imoerfect like all the other men; Allah Alone is All-Knowing, Omniscient.
Mathew 26:39 -
"And he (Jesus) went a little farther, and fell on his face and prayed, saying, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not is a servant of Allah. He (Allah) Alone can cause the change.'"

the Bible (theNew Testament) was not written during Jesus's lifetime but long after the occurrence of the events described, having been retained in the memory of the people.

We know that there are more than 1,24,000 prophets. The most common among them are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon all of them). Now can you name the rest of them?
