He(dajjal) will be riding a donkey; the width between its(donkey's) ears will be forty 40 cubits....."(Ahmad musnad3\367,368)

A cubit is roughly 2 feet, so this beast will be pretty unmistakable. If it comes, I might just convert to Islam. Meanwhile, I will continue to enjoy this earthly paradise.

Good night everybody!

Orar (Dua in Arabic) Pray but asking for something from God.

Rezar (Namaz in Arabic) Pray to thank and praise God.

I notice I always say Pray, I do not recall any other word in English to separate the two. Anyone knows if there exists any?

Thanks so much!

My daughters aunt takes her on trips which we appreciate.
However I don't like the fact that she gets verbaly mean and sometimes phsicaly mean(pushs,and so forth). Makes me wonder what she does with her own daughter. My husband and I agreed
that there would be no more trips with this aunt, however she doesn't think she has done anything wrong and glosses over what
she has done and said. She says she loves her but on the other
hand we never get to spend anytime with her daughter whom
we invited to camping with us and we miss her.
What should we do. Reason one for putting this in this catagory is
she uses the bible and god as a reason for the way she disciplines. My daughter has sense then said she does not want to be a christian. Which is her choice however I know not all christians are like this. Help

Only clean ones, please.

I'll get things started:

Two nuns were on their way to St. Mary's hospital when they ran out of gas. They knew there was a gas station a mile down the road but they didn't have a gas can. So instead, they used one of the bed pans they were delivering to the hospital to bring some gas back. As they were filling up the car a man drove past them with his wife. After seeing what they were doing he leans over to his wife and says, "Now that's what I call faith!"

let me ask you if it would REALLY bother you that Catholics were saved with their doctrine and you were too. If it would bother you can you explain why it would bother you?

In the question below, it's clear that people cannot agree because the Bible is too vague. Don't tell me you need the Holy Spirit or else there wouldn't be so many denominations.

What did you choose to teach the children? My SIL has been raised in both the US and Iran. Although neither practices their faith currently, I wonder how things will be when my grandchild is born.

Revelations 2:20-23 (KJV):
23 And I will KILL her CHILDREN with death
(Jesus was pissed off at Jezebel and said he would kill her children). No mistranslation here. So how did "turn the other cheek" turn into "I will KILL her CHILDREN"?

Atheists, not scientists, believe its time to end religion. Science never proves or disproves religious origin and all unbiased scientists will cop to that. Only the hard-core atheists use science as evidence for their claims, but they are irrational about it.

The above was a great lead in for:

Then, a leading atheist, based on science, changes his position.

Alright...so obviously Judaism. And I understand there's a movement called the B'nai Noach or Noahide, and I think the Rastafarians.

Are there any other religions that use the Old Testament but NOT the New Testament, or are these three the only ones?

if a creature keeps getting killed as a result of the same thing and it develops a protection agaist that does that not mean that the knowledge of how it died was passed on to other living things prior to there birth . and this i think would be a good reason to belive in god

Job 9:7 (King James Version)
7(God), Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

If God wanted to stop the 'sunrise' he would have to 'command' the Earth to stop moving, not the Sun.

I specifically told my son's teacher in September I didn't want him celebrating Halloween or doing activities with witches or vampires in them (I'm not pagan or wiccan, so why push that on him?) and then I find out she's reading these books every day (Strega Nona is a witch, and there's an entire series on her). My son loves reading, and I think he could read about something other than witches and people like Strega Nona or Harry Potter! I'm tired of public schools pushing their humanism or occult-friendly views on my kids. I'm ready to call the principal at this point, because I already made my feelings clear at the beginning of the year. Comments from parents with similar convictions?

These books were written hundreds of years ago by men inspired by god and, while they contain a great deal of good advice in so much as how mankind should live, there's an awful lot that's unacceptable, such as animal sacrifice, warring against those who don't believe, and a complete lack of women's rights. Isn't it time we had something a bit more universal and peaceful? Couldn't we have some of the greatest representatives of all religions, non-religious people included, to create a global book of life? Would various religious believers, yourself included, follow such a lifeplan?

c'mon it'll be fun. we can be just like Jesus. we can teach those atheists what Jesus was all about. we can go door to door quoting scripture from the holy bible. it's a chance to get some non believers on board.
