A marine in Iraqu threw himself on a grenade. When it exploded he was killed. The grenade was thrown into a group of soldiers and had he not covered it many would have been killed and injured. Question. Should his family (as far as that goes,everyone) be proud of him? Or, should they feel he did a dumb thing, made a big mistake that cost him his life? Will he go to heaven (he prevented others from being killed) or will he go to hell because in doing this he killed himself? Question 2. I guy I sort of know went on a kind of lecture tour. I guess he didn't come off too well because a bunch of people got mad (big time) at him. I guess they told him to get out, quit lecturing or something like that. He didn't listen. They caught up to him and he was eventually thrown in jail-.but he didn't learn his lesson. When he got out of jail he went right back to lecturing. Did he do the right thing for sticking up for himself? Or- Should he have just figured it was a bad idea and quit?

Fellow muslims, I just wanted to know what do you think is a muslims ultimate goal in this life and what is the mission that our beloved prophet has given us? What path should be taken to fullfill our commitment of completing the mission?

Just wanted to know how much aware are my fellow muslims really are? Moreover just ignore the people who are going to make nasty remarks just ignore them as there were such durring the prophets time and there are such today as well.

jesus was dragged to death on a cross, if he REALLY LOVED YOU and wanted to SACRIFICE his life for you to wash away your sins, he would have demanded his death by his choice... he SHOULDNT have waited until they dragged him to the Cross...

Why did he wait? he didnt wanna die

why did god need jesus' blood in order to wash away ur sins?

Was there somthing missing on god's part?

I mean, if he was THE MOST POWERFUL AND MERCIFUL, why would be need to spill a blood of a human and cant wash away ur sins unless that happened? why kill an innocent man and JUSTIFY it by claiming he died for our sins?

I used to work in a catholic organisation that really sucks.
The boss is a mid age woman who is not charming or capable of handling anything at work. She got there because of her religion background.
The other thing is there was a opus dei member who used to work in that school and later on promoted to a well-known school. She always uses her connection there to promote opus dei. She used to be my teacher so she wanted me to join as a numerary too. But I was so unhappy in opus dei because I used to be sexually abused by a member of her group.

I think my teacher knows about it very well, but she did not do anything to help me out of my emotional turmoil. Instead, she uses all she can to protect the "good name" of opus dei, and drew me closer to the work (ie. to be a member).
Opus dei was just so powerful that they can do all these things secretly and effectively.I felt so disgusting at they nasty defamation and wrong allegation. They ruined my career. They even use sex to tempt.

It just doesn't make sense! Maybe the priests should try ACTING instead of PRAYING?

Can God give us confidence. Can he give us the confidence that we need and feel good about ourselves. Can he make us think positive thoughts. Is there a bible verse on confidence?

People change the story all the time to fit an argument.

First, they say it was christ's sacrifice intended to save everyone, to allow forgiveness of sin. That is suicide, if he died intentionally so that believers could be saved. (and a very illogical argument, by the way...)

Then, they say "no no no -- suicide is a sin. He would not have committed suicide, he was tortured and murdered/crucified." So, if that's the case, how would he have sacrificed himself?

Intentional? Falling in front of a bus so the bus will kill you is still suicide...

Think about it. Creating a human son with the intent of having him crucified to get one's message across? Does that really make sense?? For a God?? And 2000 years later, over 70% of the earth still rejects the story. Not a very good communicator, this bible-god, is he...?

1.Michael H. Hart says:
"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level."
(Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc., 1978, p. 33.)

2.John Austin says:
"In little more than a year he was actually the spiritual, nominal and temporal rule of Medina, with his hands on the lever that was to shake the world."
Source: John Austin "Muhammad the Prophet of Allah," in T.P.'s and Cassel's Weekly for 24th September 1927.

3.Thomas Carlyle in his (Heroes and Heroworship), was simply amazed as to:
"how one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades."

NOW ! i want the answer to be in few words WITH NO OFFENSE.
