Some people say they experienced miraculous healings in their lifes
For example: His father was healed miraculously when there was no hope for him

I say : What about other people who lost their dads?
Why didn't they enjoy similar miracles?
There were definitely believers and decent people among them, so you can't say: "maybe they didn't believe or they weren't decent"
Maybe the miraculous healing you experienced was just a "slight
healing possibility coming true"
Or does God favour some people and why?

another example:
Some say that the Pope had healed a sick child once, miraculously, just by touching him
OK then all the sick children shall make a que infront of him and let him cure them all
You may say Pope can not choose the time of the miracle he performs
God decides it
then I say: why doesn't God heal all children by using Pope's touch or in other ways? Does God favour some children and heal only them?

If you have ruined all of God's best plans for you only because you were never taught to believe you were good enough to deserve one in the first place, how can He not give you a new and better one?

The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:

"Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."

"His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4


Then why do Hindus make idols and worship them ?

The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus.

The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God:

"Ekam evadvitiyam"
"He is One only without a second."
[Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1


This affirms with Islamic concept of God . as There is no god but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

let me know what you think about this

Take care

History shows that plain old wooden poles were used to traditonally execute people in the time Jesus walked the Earth, so why use two sticks crossed together to kill him? Why waste time on a so called criminal to tie two sticks together to make a cross?

better.
My single favorite ideological contradiction comes from Second Kings, chapters 9 and 10, the story of Jehu. There is much in the way of shooting people in the back, tricking them, ambushing them, widespread murder in general, all condoned by God, however the worst of it is the cutting off the heads of 70 children. After all this God says "because you have done well in carrying out what is right in my eyes ... your sons ... shall sit on the throne of Israel." In other words, good work, Jehu. And that fits in with "thou shall not kill" exactly how? There are many contradictions that can be waved away by believers with a clever interpretation. I simply don't see how you explain away a particularly brutal mass slaughter of innocent children.

I have a little problem. I'm a bellydancer and every time I perform I get at least a few women who think I'm a hoochie and at least a few men who think I'm dancing for male sexual attention. They don't approach me and actually SAY those words, but it's obvious as to what they're thinking. My husband almost got in a fight once with a guy because the guy was talking to me like I was a common whore. Some women tell me I have low self-esteem because they say I'm not respecting my body.

What is a nice polite way to tell them they're wrong about bellydancing and that in reality it's a female-empowering spiritual art form?

**I asked this in the "dancing" section, but this section is much more inhabited than that one and I'm looking for some suggestions.

I don’t want to go to Heaven Lord,
If it’s the way you say it is;
With them streets all paved with gold,
And all the jewels and amethysts.

Lord I ain’t never owned no gold,
And I ain’t ever wanted to.
Why would I want to go to Heaven,
When I’m already here with you?

And when it comes to angels Lord,
I’ve done got all I need;
You know I see them every day,
In the faces of my family.

And as for those cloudless days,
God I don’t believe that I could stand;
A sky without those fluffy whites,
Casting shadows on the land.

I love my old dusty roads,
Lord, they’re just fine with me;
I’d rather live right here on earth,
With all the flowers and the trees.

It might not be in your master plan,
But this is where I want to stay;
Right here in your garden lord,
After judgment day.

Some can’t wait to get to Heaven Lord,
And that’s alright with me.
They can have the silver and the gold,
And the jewels and crystal seas.

I hope they find their Heaven, Lord,
With all the diamonds and the gold;
But when they see they can’t spend it,
Would they want my dusty roads?

ok, so i am a christian + republican and went out with a very liberal and non-christian guy (for me it was just a "i wanna se a movie with a buddy" thing, but he seems really head over heels). he was really nice guy, but after he said "omfg" once on the IM, I just froze. + he just found out that I am a republican (very uncomfortable)
more to that, we have a class in collge together and are gonna see each other on tuesday.
So, I have no clue how to act then, or what to do ... very awkward

Can non Christian display agape love? Agape love means unconditional love. Some have said it means 'Godly love'

Agape is a greek word meaning unconditional sacrificial love, seperating it from brother love (phileo) and passionate love (Eros) and the more modern term of affection (storge)

So, with that in mind, can non-christians show agape love?
