Why doesn't he look after his offspring instead of leaving them crippled. I have met a nice lad with down's syndrome, he is a good lad so why doesn't god fix him up to look like the rest of the population?

Or is that expecting too much from our creator?

Surely if he made us he could also fix us?

Maybe he doesn't listen to our prayers.........

Better yet, what do you consider to be "peace"?

It is defined as "being not proud", so right there most people fail the test. So in your own words, define what is being "humble".

Taking jesus, holy spirit, and the father all as GOD? Let's just throw maryam for the sake of "yes, people do aknowledge her too". And please don't give me that "you believe they are all in one sent down by the father to mankind by his only begotten son". Because with that statement alone, you can see the hypocracy for that notion of TRUE monotheism. Then one would argue that it is all jesus. Reality check, same thing. Then who was he praying to? Not himself.

Holy mary mother of GOD? Woah, GOD has a mother? Son of GOD? Woah, GOD has a wife? I never knew GOD was an aldulterer. So to be logically correct, if maryam gave birth to the son of GOD, does that mean that GOD is her husband?

Judgment Day—What Is It?

HOW do you picture Judgment Day? Many think that one by one, billions of souls will be brought before the throne of God. There, judgment will be passed upon each individual. Some will be rewarded with heavenly bliss, and others will be condemned to eternal torment. However, the Bible paints quite a different picture of this period of time. God’s Word portrays it, not as a terrifying time, but as a time of hope and restoration.

At Revelation 20:11, 12, we read the apostle John’s description of Judgment Day: “I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it. From before him the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.” Who is the Judge described here?

This is for you to think.

Was Jesus Born in December?

THE Bible does not tell us when Jesus was born. However, it does give us sound reason to conclude that his birth did not take place in December.

Consider the weather conditions at that time of the year in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. The Jewish month of Chislev (corresponding to November/December) was a month with cold and rainy weather. The month after that was Tebeth (December/January). It saw the lowest temperatures of the year, with occasional snows in the highlands. Let us see what the Bible tells us about the climate of that region.

The Bible writer Ezra shows that Chislev was indeed a month known for cold and rainy weather. After stating that a crowd had gathered in Jerusalem “in the ninth month [Chislev] on the twentieth day of the month,” Ezra reports that people were “shivering . . . on account of the showers of rain.” Concerning weather conditions at that time of the year, the congregated people themselves said: “It is the season of showers of rain, and it is not possible to stand outside.” (Ezra 10:9, 13; Jeremiah 36:22) No wonder shepherds living in that part of the world made sure that they and their flocks were no longer out of doors at night when December came around!

The Bible reports, however, that shepherds were in the fields tending their flocks on the night of Jesus’ birth. In fact, the Bible writer Luke shows that at that time, shepherds were “living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks” near Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8-12) Notice that the shepherds were actually living out of doors, not just strolling outside during the day. They had their flocks in the fields at night. Does that description of outdoor living fit the chilly and rainy weather conditions of Bethlehem in December? No, it does not. So the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth indicate that he was not born in December.

God’s Word tells us precisely when Jesus died, but it gives little direct indication as to when he was born. This brings to mind King Solomon’s words: “A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born.” (Ecclesiastes 7:1) It is not surprising, then, that the Bible provides many details about Jesus’ ministry and death but few details about the time of his birth.

Or better yet. "Because someone told me". Like a pastor, peacher, imam, sage, etc.

The early Roman history said Romulus was born of a virgin and Greeks had virgin births for pregnant daughters. Was this a factor in writing the gospels and calling for anger against christians?

Muslims say they are misunderstood and they have great respect for people of the book. in the Koran it says a Christian is the closest to you.

so why are Sunni and Shia who are both Muslims killing each other? how much more would they kill us. if even another Muslim deserves to die then how can we trust that they will not kill other religious people?
