Everybody believe The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost is as ONE TRINITY. Technically Yes! that is very true. They are from GOD.

The TRINITY explains the birth of JESUS. The father is God ONE and only GOD (being Jesus and all his deciples is jewish).

The Son is Jesus being without father. A son that sent direct from GOD(same as ADAM) God's son and

the last part you didn't know. I don't know why but you just didn't know this. Holy Ghost=Holy Spirit=Angel Gabriel(One like God).

All this is the explaination of Jesus birth. The Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit is Angel Gabriel that visited Mary to tell her the news of miracle birth of Jesus.

That is what Saint Paul(being jewish priest) trying to explain to his people the miracle birth of Jesus while preaching {{{ONE "GOD" theory}}}. Having strong PAGAN influences they had misunderstood TRINITY as ALL as ONE "GOD" hence Jesus became God whom his not.

Jesus never claim "I am Aalahah"

What do you think of this issue?

How can you tell that you have been reincarnated or that someone around you has been reincarnated from someone you have known before? Is it possible for someone of the present to be reincarnated from someone of the past, if so how can you tell that you are the reincarnation of somebody?

In the Quran, Jesus is born of virgin Mary without a father, different to the way you & I and the other prophets were born. He is regarded as massih (the Messiah) and referred to as Roohu'Allah, the Spirit of God. This makes sense to me, but "begotten" brings the notion of intercourse to my mind, which belittles God. If "begotten" makes sense to anyone, please enlighten me. By the way, my problem isn't with Jesus and the essence of Christianity but rather, with the man-made theology associated with it.

i have read both the bible and the koran and have read some sciptures from the hindu and sikh faiths, i have also read the confucius analects, the analects do not promote worship of a deity there is no heaven or hell as diffined in the big 3 religions but rather the pursuit of virtue and wisdom should be the goal of all people dosent this make more sense than an omnipotent god watching all of us for all time and sending the unworthy to hell to pay for there evil ways?

I asked a previous question here, and recieved mostly positive answers. However, one person said that I must be getting power to heal others form the Devil? I don't believe in the Devil. Why would the Devil heal people? Why can't folks just get along, and accept each other faiths? I accept theirs.

Psychological theories of religion have posited that religion rises out of a darwinian coping mechanism. Thus it is helpful. Yet we also hear it claimed, here, that it is malicious and threatens civility. Which do you think religion is?

Humanoids have things that we call finger & toe nails. These are a spin off from the source of our evolution millions or billions of years ago when we would scratch and forage for food.
Religion exists probably as a function of the error in the human evolution and is just a useless fragment still retained whilst we utilise the remainder of the brain for intelligent thought ?..

Kinda affect me directly. Too much politics in him. To get on with my life I just let go and forgive him. The problem is he is churning out more problems in our area faster than I could catch up with reasons to forgive. The essence of time here is important. If a person hurt you once, usually it takes time to heal the wound then forgiveness comes. But if one person keeps doing it how can you just beat that?

Both of the books of the new testament have been covered up by the mainstream. Mary's gospel was found in the late 1800's and the Gospel of Thomas in the 1950's.

The gospel of Mary was hidden by the church because the church (catholic) is male dominated.

The gospel of Thomas says this:

114. Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females do not deserve life." Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."

What do you think of that, ladies?

Mohamed, according to the Koran has a sell-by-date. The Saudis have been looking for the past 13 years, for the replacement, with no luck. Is this the hidden cause of worldwide Islamic hysteria? Two years ago, Tony Blair said the Islamic threat and outbursts would subsided after 2007. Is there a connection? If the new prophet is a "No-Show" will they convert to rational behaviour?
