In the bible, there are all kinds of stories about Moses parting the sea, staffs turning into snakes, etc. Why are there no more miracles like those in this present time?

Christians: I would like to know if you have ever had a super-natural experience with God/Jesus where he has confirmed his word/truth to you. In a vision, dream, literal voice etc.

Muslims: I would like to know if you have ever
had a super-natural experience with God/Muhammed where he has confirmed his
word/truth to you. In a vision a dream, literal voice etc.

Thanks in a advance for you honest answers, I'm curious. Serious answers ONLY please.

he had major family problems . The parents are in their 70's and the 'children' are 40 plus . His 40ish sister is a lesbian, he's known that for years, but his parents have been in denial. Suddenly, about a month ago, his sister announced that she and her live-in 'girlfriend' were having a baby . They had gone to a doctor for artificial insemination . Now, they're having a baby shower, and my friend and his wife will not go to the shower, because they do not want to support the decisions that led up to this . They will however, continue to love their sister and share holidays like Christmas together as a family . Ironically enough, his parents have taken a much stronger stance . His parents are now claiming that 'times have changed' and demand his attendance at the baby shower or else . His mother even hung-up on him, when he tried to explain their position . He asked me. . .." What should I do "?. . . . . .What would you tell him ???

Is rape a virtue in the Judeo/Christian faith? Genesis 19 details the escape of Lot and his two daughters from destruction.

The angels arrived and told Lot to leave the city for it has become wicked and deserves smiting.

So, Lot and his daughters were moral enough to escape the angels' wrath. I suppose Lot's wife was deemed moral enough, but she showed her true nature by looking back.

Yet, the moral daughters of Lot conspired to get their father drunk and rape him. Their desire for children was so great, they were willing to rape their own father.

A reader might be confused by this. The daughters were not chosen to be destroyed along with the rest of the city, but they performed an act that seems wicked to us. Does God condone and encourage this behavior? Is procreation so important that rape is an acceptable means to achieve it?

I ask this because, in the Adam and Eve story, Eve does not seem very surprised that she is being approached by a talking snake (or serpent, whatever wording you wish).

There are valid points for both issues. On one hand we don't want our individual rights lost, but sometimes if feels as if we are so focused on our own individual rights "what's in it for me" that we hurt others as a result.

How should we define where our own rights fit in with what is needed for the common good.

(just to give an example, so don't focus on whether this issue is right or wrong, because it's just to give an example of someplace you would choose a dividing line: I believe a child should have the right to pray in school).

I know that my rights end where your rights are infringed, but what does that mean.

I am agnostic I used to be an atheist, I have friends who are of VERY different religious backgrounds some are Pagan some atheist, Spirtiualists, and a few Christians... well, the only people who try to force me to believe in what they believe are the CHristians all the others are cool with my (lack of) beliefs
I just would really like to know why ya'll Christians try to push your beliefs onto us nonChristians... I'm just saying and besides telling someone their going to a hell they don't even believe in is kinda pointless... and like I've said I'm a pyro I can handle flames..

I was watching the 700 Club this morning (Pat Robertson cracks me up with his anti-feminist, homophobic, anti-Islamic comments. He is so arrogant!!!), and Bill O'Reilly was on it talking about the Cultural Wars. So I was wondering, what do you all think of the concept of the Culture Wars?

I was just sitting here thinking how much I hate having to work, (although I am grateful to have a job so I can support myself). Since God gave Adam work to do before the fall it must not be punishment. So I ask ,why do you think that God made it important for us to work. To have a sense of pride (the good kind) ? Thoughts.....

EXODUS Chapt 29 Verse 15 to 23

All about how you should kill the Sheep!
"You shall kill the ram and sprinkle it around the altar"
"Shall Burn the whole ram on the altar"
"Shall take the kidney, take the liver..."
Finally
"Wave them as a wave offering before GOD!"

Why does god like us to kill animals, and offer it to him???
By doing all this make him happy???

And could someone enlighten me how do i reply to those whom have answered my questions?
Many a time i wanted to reply to someone answers but i dont know how to go about!

Do Muslims understand that when Christian men and women go to church and worship together sex does not even enter their mind? They are there to pray and worship God. We do not have to separate the women out and cover them head to toe. Our men have some self control!! And you say that a woman can go out of the house, covered, as long as she is with a male family member and this is for safety. What kind of men do you have that a decent woman can’t walk freely down the street in daylight and not be safe??? Do you see why we think that all of this control of women is because your men do not know how to control their lust?
