Why is this either good or bad? For the man or for the woman?

===
The holy Quran has the following to say:

Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them (4:34).

"If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable." (4:3).

I had a prophetic dream in the middle of last year and I had a few others as well from the Lord. I will not discuss them of here.As you can see why. Where could I go or who can you recomend I speak to or e-mail regarding them. I need to speed to somebody who is like a Daniel of the old testament, because there are a lot of false prophets around. My visions were very biblical. I need to find out what was being said to me. If you guys know that would be very helpful. I have had this on my mind for awhile. Somebody who hopefully is spirit filled and hears from God.

From what I've read of the Bible, what I've heard from the random preachers and ministers etc, it sounds like Christians truly believe the heart to be an emotional organ and not in any way metaphorical.

What's your opinion?

I have a few Hare Krishna friends and I know that their movement is very accepting of converts. However, I also know that they don't represent mainstream Hinduism (at least what you encounter in America), and I'm wondering how other Hindu groups might go about accepting (or not accepting) converts. I haven't been able to find a good website that discusses the issue and have never seen the topic in a book. Any information would be welcome.

another question....

2007-01-10 21:25:33 · 2 answers · asked by jin11_knight 1

why do you point out the contradictions , inaccuracies or barbaric laws in each others book ...
when in doing so , it only serves as a means for people to point them out in your own
both are old books , with old laws ....
both have been translated and lost content or context
why when you are so close in your beliefs do you discredit each other and not support each other

those of us who are not Christian or Muslim ...
would most likely appreciate your religions more if there wasnt this fight to be right going on between you

It seems to say at one point that they got kidnapped and the servants got killed while they were having a party in the house, and in the same chapter a few verses down it says they were having a party in the house and they got killed.

I have a question regarding the commandment which says: "though shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife". Clearly, this is addressed to a man. This isn't just a case of "he" referring to both man and humanity, since in this case wife has to refer to the woman. That means the question must be addressed to a man. Does this mean that women are not worthy of having a similar commandment issued to them (from the point of view of the bible) or does it mean that it's OK for a woman to "coveting her neighbor's husband"?

Muhommed had this lady murdered for writing a poem insulting him. (read sura 9 for the full coverage)
and after he told his assistant Umar to plunge the sword into Asma's chest this is what Muhommed had to say,

i give thanks unto Allah that has slain thee and comforted mine eyes thereby (sura 8/68)

now dear muslims why do you still call this man Muhommed a holy prophet?
Are you people mad?
