If the answer is no, the rest of this is fairly irrelevant and you may go on with your day.

If the answer is yes...why on earth did he demand a human sacrifice as payment for sin? I realize that before this, animals were sacrificed and blood had to be spilled, etc etc to cover sin, but why couldn't God have just changed the rules? If he made them, he can change them, yes? If he can't change them, what is binding him to them? Is there something greater than God?

PLEASE do not read into my beliefs regarding this question. Please no ad hominem arguments; do not attack me, just answer the question.

Negatively...

You were obviously not paying close attention to my question.

I am not referring the the "Prophet" Muhammed
I am referreing to Y!A personality who calls herself "PROPET" Muhammed, and continues to disrespect muslims!

Next time..do some digging up before you answer!

Why are Christians so self righteous and so blinkered that they can't see or believe anyone else's point of view, I hear so many Christians that are almost rude to someone if that someone doesn't agree with them and their believes, can these people not open their minds to new ideas, discuss, debate them, are they frightened that they might find out they might be wrong. Watch and see how many dismissive replies I get on this question or replies accusing me of being stupid, or spelling mistakes or grow up, why do Christians want to alienate them self’s from the rest of the world by the lack of dialog and understanding.
I think it’s fantastic for people to have faith in something, and if it gives people hope and makes life bearable for them that’s great, I would never try and take that away from anybody, why do Christians feel that they must take other peoples believes and rubbish them and consider their believe is the right one when clearly they can’t prove it any more then the next religion, there’s nothing more ignorant than blind faith.

What was the Jesus thing about. Couldn't it just forgive sin without all the bloodshed.

Or was the Jesus thing not really about sin at all and more about giving humanity one last chance to listen?


That is assuming that this "God" fellow exists.

i've recently heard that the rapper akon who's 25 has 3 wives already, and his father has 4. he said because it's in the quran he chose to do it. what do you think about it as a whole?(bearing in mind the recent accusations of abuse and forced marriages against a polygamist group leader)

“As Americans, we have been turning a blind eye to some of the most serious threats to constitutional democracy, by ignoring or being dismissive of the truly extreme ideolologies being marketed under the guise of Christian entertainment.” [Ref:http://frederick-clarkson.streetprophets.com/]

The video game based on Tim LaHaye's best selling "Left Behind" novels, finally hit the shelves just in time for Christmas.

This is but one of a number of strong currents in American religious culture promoting an ideology of religious warfare.

Is the videogame "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" but a Fundamentalist Christian Evangelical attempt at cultural religious separation? Surprise, it appears that Principles, in that company that are involved
are "completed" Jews.

Regarding the games basic premise -- either convert or, eventually, be killed -- company president Jeffrey Frichner [ one of the “Completed” ] said, "The game is actually agnostic." there you have it Blame non-believers

I've heard people say that the cross points to the value of God's people.
I've heard others say that the cross reveals how much God hates sin and points to the wickedness of mankind.

Any Scripture to support one or both of these views?

All of this bickering makes me study Gods Word more, and helps me to grow closer to Him as a Christan. God is simple to understand. Accept Jesus and choose to live a beter life through him and emulate Christs love. Its not brainwashing its something I choose to do. I don't have to change a thing, God gives me the desire to change and learn. I have studied Islam and understand true Islam more and I choose to be a Christan. No big deal its what I choose to do. Why do we have to make it so difficult.

Is it cultural or religious?

Is it an issue of a misunderstanding of the Qur'an?

...lowering myself below who I am; rather, being humble simply brings my arrogance in closer alignment to my insignificance without Christ. I don't think we comprehend the miserable depths to which sin has corrupted us in the eyes of Christ. I see my need for the Lord's grace more now than yesterday. Ever have one of those realizations?
