Religion & Spirituality - 1 December 2006

I'm a Lutheran & a very good friend of mine is Jewish. Although we really don't discuss our religions other than Happy Hanakua & Merry Christmas we are both good people & both believe in God. Now I know that I believe Jesus is our saviour & she doesn't, but does it matter if we're both good people, don't you think for those who believe that we'll both go to Heaven??

They seem to believe it makes them sound pure and wise.
They actually sound child-like and gullible.

s0000 if we were to believe the logic of math. It would lead us to science of physics which prooves the earth would have been destroyed. Hence the earth couldn't possibly be older than around 10,000 yr's . Which coincedently is the approximate age of the earth according to the figured timeline of the bible. .............Lack of others comprehension aggravates me so. I must appologize.

The basic problem is that trinitarianism is a nonbiblical doctrine that contradicts a number of biblical teachings and many specific verses of Scripture. Moreover, the doctrine contains a number of internal contradictions. Of course, the most obvious internal contradiction is how there can be three persons of God in any meaningful sense and yet there be only one God.

This list is not exhaustive but it does give an idea of how much the doctrine deviates from the Bible.

Did Jesus Christ have two fathers? The Father is the Father of the Son (I John 1:3), yet the child born of Mary was conceived by the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18, 20; Luke 1:35). Which one is the true father? Some trinitarians say that the Holy Ghost was merely the Father's agent in conception - a process they compare to artificial insemination! [109]

For example, if you say, "The dog is old. We should have him killed" people wouldn't respond well. So you call it having him "Put to sleep" or "euthanized".

Right now the the soldiers are in the middle of "sectarian violence". Call it a "civil war" and people look at it differently. When it comes to the abortion debate, you got two "pros". You got pro-choice and you got pro-life. The people that oppose the pro-life don't wanna be called "anti-choice" which they really are, because it sounds like they're trying to restrict freedom, which they are. It also implies that those that oppose them are "anti-life" and when you put it that way, no one wants to be associated with that.

You take a suspected terrorist and put him through some "alternative interrogation" and we can deal with it, as long as you don't call the same practices "torture," we're good.

combine the bible and quran, and become one religion, we both believe in jesus and god, or allah, and we can combine holidays and traditions and call god Allahgod, I like thats actually my word, until we combine that's what I'm calling Yeweh, but seriously, both religions undermine women and are homophobs the pope and the muslim leader have a lot to get along with, and i can accept muhammed as a prophet he made alot of good points.

When Christianity is criticized, the questioner will get a response calling the questioner ignorant or stupid but when a criticism is placed at Islam the questioner is accused of hate and intolerance?

For the record when I criticize something I expect to be told that I do not understand and my intelligence is to be questioned, because this is a passionate debate.

Also it is my impression that the attacks of “intolerance” are made mostly by non-Muslims. Is my impression right or wrong?

By the way most answers are not like this, but I have noticed a difference in the tone.

Usually, I on't care. But I saw a question a few minutes ago that really pissed me off. He was nagging about how it's wrong to be gay. I hate people who just can't stop being stereotypical and so narrow-minded! What do you guys honesty think? I personally think that if it really mattered who was in love with who, which apparently it does, that everyone would be nicer and not so stupid. My step-dad is like that against other religons and I hate him and yell at him for being so closed-minded.

Imagine deciding to pick urself up,brush urself off and go on with ur life after each incident of bad luck u experience.
Now add more unforseeable problems & then the unimaginable... your worse case scenario. Bring in ur efforts to recover, & combine it with the simplist of things going belly up or having a catch. Even dead certs bail out. Oh and those 'friends' u have always and unconditionally helped in the past, well they have more important things to do.
Merge this with 4 young lives to consider, and multiply it all by 38 months. Finally sit back & reflect. What now?

I just logged into Yahoo Answers and I see that there is a member here that believes he is the next Jesus Christ. I don't think anyone is crazy unless this is officially proven by all kinds of authorities out there?
My name is Mikhail Leonidovich Fayn, and I just wanted to tell him my opinion about his question, but now, because of what people did to him he closed the issue, and I cannot give him any new answers. Take back what you said evil people, and open up the issue, so I can provide some insight as to how he can get tested and find out for sure if he is the next Jesus Christ, or not? Sometimes feelings are wrong, and I agree with that. But, what if he is right about that?
Sincerely, yours
Mikhail Leonidovich Fayn
P.S. It's unbelievable how evil people are nowadays. He only asked you all a legitimate question here on Yahoo Answers, and that's all there is to it.

Muslim leader blames women for sex attacks:

-- In the religious address on adultery to about 500 worshippers in Sydney last month, Sheik Hilali said: "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat?

"The uncovered meat is the problem."

The sheik then said: "If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred."

He said women were "weapons" used by "Satan" to control men.

"It is said in the state of zina (adultery), the responsibility falls 90 per cent of the time on the woman. Why? Because she possesses the weapon of enticement (igraa)." http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20646437-601,00.html

Sheik al-Hilali was the foremost Islamic leader in all of Australia. Fear is, extremists will fill in, for this supposed "moderate". That says it all.
