Religion & Spirituality - 9 January 2007

I'm sure that there are religious wackos out there who claim to be christian and come on here bashing all others but that is not what christianity is about, and those of you who bite back with blasphomous statments are no better. most decent christians don't judge because they know that is God's job, and if you don't believe in God then why do you waste your time insulting those who do? The only reason I can think of is that you don't have a life and you are angry.

"Thats out of context!!!"
"Thats out of context!!!
"that just means defensive beheadings"

That so, ok, well tell me why Allah had to write so much about violence?

If he ONLY wanted Muslims to fight in self defense, as opposed the the literal meaning of "fight ALL who dont believe in Allah (Quran 9.29)" then why couldnt he have just dont this:

Quran 1:1 Fight only in self-defense (end of any reference to murder or violence).
Quran 1:2 Love your mom
Quran 1:3 Love you dad

So simple isnt it?

"Oh no, you see, it was WRITTEN IN WARTIME!".

Ok, so Allah didnt write it?

"No, he did, but it was wartime"

So Allah was forced to write about the war during Muhammad's time?"

"no one can force allah"

So he didnt have to write anything about war, even while Muhammad was at war with everyone, right?

"Allah doesnt have to do anything"

So why did he write about so much war and violence?

"Because it was wartime"

(sighs...islamic stupidity is incurable)

All the people received prophets to call them to God and to follow his commands . many were worshiping others than God, so God sent prophets with miracles and some with books to correct their belief.
Christians started worshiping the prophet of God. the prove >> they love Jesus AND God.

1. God's love for mankind (John 3:16)
2. Mans need for a Savior (Romans 3:23)
3. The payment for our Sins (Romans 6:23)
4. Jesus's plan for Salvation (Romans 5:8)
5. Our required action for salvation (Romans 10:9-13)

Simply acknowledging our need and inability so save ourself and calling on Jesus Christ to save us will ensure us Biblically that we will have a place in heaven for all eternity. Nothing we can do other than humbly calling to Christ will save us (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Would it make you angry? Would you care? Would it matter?

The Mormon church, for example, proxy-baptized many Jews who perished in the Holocaust, which brought about sharp criticism from Jewish groups. They've also baptized numerous deceased family members from other faiths.

From Wikipedia, FYI:

Based on . I John 5:7 2. Hebrews 1:8, John 10:30-33, John 20:28, John 8:58, and finally, Acts 20:28, how can anyone Biblically say that Christ is not deity?

Did they innovate in the religion of God , isn't that polytheism? and what went wrong?

I believe that this does not always necessarily need to hold true. If I have belief in myself that eventually I will run a 4-minute mile, given my ability and endurance as an athlete, what has religious orientation to do with my belief in aspiring to such a goal?

What happens if you convert to another religion? Are you hated by your God before? And does your new God hate you for turning your back on your original God?

My religion is United. I have not practised my religion for a very long time and I do not go to church anymore. I just couldnt understand anything and was getting very confused. I now want to switch to Islam, as this is the only religion I can be for my partner to marry me plus I have been doing some research and I agree with alot of their religion "laws". I would like any information possible. If you are looking to just be ignorant, then please do not answer. Thanks in advance.

Why do you all hate Christians so much that you would waste your time just to insult them for what they believe.

Many Muslim tell non-muslim critics that the violence in the Quran is "out of context".

In other words, the Quran doesnt mean what it says, or so they want you to believe.

However, people who make or accept this argument miss the issue entirely. The issue is not whether a Jihadist is properly interpreting the Quran, essentially, we dont care what the "proper" interpretation is.

The issue is, whether all the violence written in the Quran, gives rise to religiously motivated violence.

The world has way too many "motives" for violence, which is what makes Islam so horrific, the idea religion itself being a motivation, but not just any motivation, a motivation so supreme, people will blow themsevles-up for it.

If the Quran, as written, gives rise to a different species of violence, that, but for Islam, wouldnt exist, then the Quran itself is an instrument of violence.

Read the Quran and ask yourself if you can understand why so many Muslims interpret it violently.

And why does one group think they are better than the other? Do they think that one group of christians is going to go to hell and the other is not?

Every religion somehow twists everything to justify things. For example, Imperialism, slavery, and genocide.
