Religion & Spirituality - 28 November 2006

I am of the Christan faith and I am currently dating a Muslim. I do not eat the flesh of swine. However I am not sure if I want to change my religious beliefs and practices.

Anyone notice how often the questions toward Christianity seem to do the following?:
Mock Christianity
Promote Intolerance and point hate toward Christianity/Christians
Not seem to be open to hearing a sincere answer

I already have the answer, but I know there's got to be a few out there who would like to offer their own. :)

I've gone to church, read the bible (and some of the qu'ran), prayed (a lot), but I still cannot believe that God is real. Is there a "faith gene" that I just was not born with?

I think we should all ignore Julia. Do not answer her pathetic statements. She is looking for responces. If she does not get them...maybe she will just go away?

My husband and I have been praying and we feel to bring our relationship under subjection and become closer we want to fast together. We just aren't sure if during the fast it is in order for us to have sex with each other. Since fasting is to deny your self of your desires, does that include the gift that he gave in marriage??

First we must realize we are born spiritually dead. Ephesians 2:1. It’s not triggered by good works, but by faith and accepting Gods gift of salvation. (Corinthians 6:2; Ephesians 2:8). Believe that God send his Son down to die for our sins. Believe in the Father and his word.

I am a christian woman who has been studing a little on islam. Though I plan on staying a christian, I just feel so drawn to this religion. It is like, I can't give up my faith in what I already believe in but there is this longing to know more about islam.
I went and bought long scarf head coverings for me and my daughters. WHY? I don't know I just feel the need to cover ourselves. Is that weird for a christian to do so?
My grandma is so afraid that I am getting "Too Curious" meaning the devil could very easily decieve me. Sort of like curiousity killed the cat sort of deal. I don't know.

Suppose your mother and father had never met, would you have ever been born? That is, would you have ever had a self aware consciousness of your own existence? Then, what does your answer imply?

What upsets you the most, Christians who irritates you with trying to convert you, or Christians who bites you ****?
Me, personaly I think Christians who tries to convert others. That pisses me off, you know why, because God has given us all free will, we can believe whatever we wants, right? I, however, like to bite you atheists ****, but thats just me.

In John 16:7 it says that the Comforter will come. The word 'Comforter' in Greek is 'Paraclete''. It is Muhamma' in Aramaic - the language spoken by Jesus - and in Hebrew as well means 'Praised'. Muhammad or Ahmad ( Ahmad is another name of Muhammad) means 'the Praised'.

And John 16:12-13 also tells us about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad:' I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth is come, he shall guide you into all truth for he shall not speak from himself; but what things so ever he shall hear.....'

The last sentence cannot be anyone else but Muhammad, because he did not speak from himself.

Then, who was the Prophet after Jesus who came to the world, apart from Muhammad?

Yesterday I asked if Christianity was in fact only 500-odd years old if your view is that Catholicism is a false religion - presumably up until the Reformation, whatever was called "Christianity" was a false religion. You're welcome to see what other people answered:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ag35Q9PRUphwhQAVSuq83IXsy6IX?qid=20061127162200AAqtaNO

My follow up question is, specifically for those who don't accept that Catholics are Christians --- how many Christians are there in the world if Catholics aren't Christian? I keep hearing figures of around 2 billion (VERY doubtful), but once predominantly Catholic nations like Brazil, Italy, France, Spain, Ireland, et cetera are taken out of the picture, doesn't this number rather collapse?

I want to know if Christianity is a large, 2,000 year old world religion with many followers, or a latecomer, much younger than Islam, with a scattering of members, mostly in the US, Canada, Britain and northern Europe.
