God made a promise to Abraham and Sarah . But Abraham jumped the gun and had got hagar involved.

From Hagar , we have Ishmael and from Sarah we have Isaac

When God made his promise, there was no Hagar , just Abraham and Sarah . So should not Isacc be the inheritor of God's promise to Abraham.

So what happens to Ishmael ?

Do you think that christians believe in other gods ?
Because if you admit that muslim worship another God that means that you didn't get it again >>> God is one and only, not 2, not 3 not many because if you believe that God is more than one person, you are a polytheist.!!!

Allah, the one and only true God, who created the univers, man and everything.
Allah never plurial like Gods, gods
never gender like Godess, godesses...
Allah is one, the creator, the first and the last.

what can you say about christians who claim that muslims worship another God = Allah, the one in their Bible also.

We know that Jesus can't be God and Son of God in the same time. God can't be human and God in the same time, because it's a mystery.
If you die and find out the answer to your mysteries, that God is the creator of everything, the univers, Adam ,Eve, man and jesus. and that people misunderstood the message of jesus < worship God my God, your Lord my Lord > and that hellfire is waiting for you for eternity. is it not the time to think about it and save yourself?
why believing in the umbelievable? mysteries.

I am going to ask you guys another question. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, whether you believe it or not. Now just say Jesus is our saviour(once again I am only saying that for your sake, not mine) and he did die on that cross at calvary knowing we are all sinners and guilty before God, would you give your life to Jesus and repent and turn from your ways or would you not except the salvation package and not repent and end up burning for all eternity in Hell with demons taunting you in your prison cell? Say Hell is real(again I am only saying that for you sake) and because I know of somebody who went there and was taken to Hell so he can write a book on it, Jesus showed him the horrors, This man went all around the world telling his testomony and thousands of souls got saved. He described the heat, the terrible thirst he endured, the smell of that place(like sewage, human flesh, burning sulphur all mixed together, pearcing screams etc. People who do you chose Jesus or Satan?

In Deuteronomy 18, Moses stated that God told him: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)


So isnt it saying he will come from the brothers of the Israelites for ex. the Ishmaelites and he will say what God commands him? Sooo how can Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) cannot be a real Prophet or can be a liar?

What evidence is there to prove that the bible is the Holy Book and not some fictional works by men a long long time ago?

Some might say that explaining such things is beyond our knowledge ! and therefore we can't understand it ! They only say: We believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost !!! A And all 3=1= God.But I say that God has given me a tool- thinking - to ration and balance things logically.

And rationally and logically 3 is not equal to 1, and that will lead me that christians worship 3 gods not one !!

Somone said that we could explain this belief by giving the example of Water and its three states ( Ice, Liquid, Steam) that they are all water !! But this explaination is not valid ! Why ?

Because we are still left with three states not one, and when they are three with different characteristics, they are still not one !!

I want a rational and logical proof that 3=1 !!!

does the atheists on here and all the blaphemy affect your walk with god? The most precious gift you will ever receive; Is prayer from someone who in Jesus believes.
It's not wrapped with ribbons or bows,
And few people hear and few people know.
But it's written in the chronicles of heaven.
Each prayer muttered, is a special gift given.
And yes, I said a prayer for you tonight;
For you to be calmed from all your fright.
For healing, and you to learn of God and His ways,
And be able to look up at Him and give
Him honor and praise.
I can't see your face and barely know who you are;
But I know one thing, each muttered prayer will go so very far. my brothers and sisters in Christ;
Each prayer you whisper is the greatest gift you will find.
It comes from the love of a pure heart;
That will last forever and never depart.
Someday we will all meet face to face;
We will be able to give Is a prayer, a sweet smelling fragrance so others can live. By laying down your life in such a simple way, Gives more to another than any gift will ever convey.... Oh prayer, no it does not have ribbons or bows; It costs us our time, and our love that we show.

Here are some quotes from "ATHEIST-BAN-CHRISTIANITY" in 'questions' like http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At.LsszWqzj7IeaWwHq1nGfsy6IX?qid=20061126180926AAS9dXK

"You christians need to have your heads examined for brain activity."
"You christians need to be banned!"
"you are a foolish lot"
"you insidious Christians"
"You bloody christians"
"You filthy indignant creatures"
"wake up you stupid christians!"
"we need to extinguish your religion with fire!"
"you are a feisty lot that needs to be extinct!"

I don't understand why guys like him can't just consider Christians silly people believing silly myths? Why must they bash Christians?

But, while I see it on both sides, I have seen far more hateful athiests on this site than hateful Christians.

I wish they would try a little tollerance!
And I don't think "Well, they aren't tolerant of me!" is a valid response. That reminds me of my nieces saying "Well, SHE started it!"

why I ask this questian? read the following
while we were discussing on this perticular chapter from 1Peter and in the 2nd chapter verses starting from 13 onwards says that we have to obay to our masters from all sorts of his/her command. but we were inturupted from a fellow believer who asked the following questian, in some gulf countries people were employed under some sponsors and on their arrival to the perticular countries the sponsor would take controle of thier passports and employ them to work in their concern though the work will be more and opprassive you can work as per the " verse" says, how about some sponsors who dont pay your salary for months and months will you still obedient in working for them?

so I defined that if he is a master he can be more cruel, unjust, oppressive, or worst but he will be called Master as far as he pays the salary.
is it right?

can any one help me define the worl Master if cannot understand my questian please tell me.

So many people claim this..
Your son, for example, is suffering from cancer, he has a tumor and then the tumor dissapears and you regard it as a miracle..
Why should it be a miracle?
It is obvious that the slight possibility of healing came true.
Why don't the other people suffering from cancer experience the same thing ?
Why should God do you a favour?
There are definitely very decent and religious (if you claim: you are and that's the reason) people among the ones who (or whose beloved ones) die from cancer
Do you think you are special for God, isn't it egoism and selfishness..?

I know people are going to try and report this question for abuse, but that just shows the double standard. why can christians say it without any PROOF?

quoting your bible doesn't really win the debate. that is much of a debate as a muslim quoting the koran.

So, in my belief, christians cannot disprove that they will all goto hell. I can easily say its the TRUTH because it is my belief. unquestionable faith

Because we have all broken his laws whether we have lied, stolen, hated somebody etc. Knowing God does not let sinners in Heaven do you think you are going to go to Heaven or Hell? Don't say that there is not Hell or Heaven that is boring to hear. If there is a Heaven or Hell (I am only saying that for you sake) where do you think you will go?

As we are in the end times, and the world is in such a bad position, do you think he will throw us on our collective ear and perform some sort of miracle? Maybe he will cause a major upheaval, showing us His wrath at the state of the world right now.

Does anyone believe that God is NOT upset at the way humanity is living? Does he have some sort of plan to give us each a swift kick to get us on the straight and narrow again?

This IS worse than Sodom and Gomorrah! Worse than Babylon! Worse than anything! It has been for a long time, and to misquote Jack Nicholson in "Batman",

"THIS WORLD NEEDS AN ENEMA!"
