Religion & Spirituality - 14 January 2007

Someone replied to one of my questions so it spawned this question and this reply.
Yes, i too, loved sex, so i guess im called a fornicator.
When i first became a christian, and was studying the bible and found the word fornication, i didnt know what it meant so i went to the dictionary.
I was very disappointed, because i had just lost my virginity 6 months before so I Argued with God in my prayers.
Of course I had to submitt to the commandments of God and having witnessed an Angel appearing in my room and later Seeing the Glory of Jesus christ, I know how much it means to keep the commandments.

One of the top Catholic bishops of Scotland, accused the UK of being anti-catholic. In some respects I see his point, the Orange order etc and problems at the the football matches (esp.old firm).

But haven't we all been a victim of someone taking a dislike to us, cause eithier cause we are Muslim, Jewish, Disabled or other reason? Discrimating on ANY grounds is wrong.

I myself was refused a university funding based on the fact I was not Catholic, which I was offended by - but I did not snitch on him cause it was a sad situation. Everyone in the uni thought it was wrong - in fact I had many pals (many of whom were Catholic) threaten to go up to the guy's office and give him a good talking too!

The way I see it is that you can be discrimated in life on many differient grounds. I don't think Catholics have been singled out for special treatment, which is what this bishop was implying. What do you think?

Why do muslims pray facing mecca? Why? Is allah ONLY at mecca? If allah is all over the place, why can't muslims pray in ANY direction???

Obviously, there MUST be something at mecca that muslims are praying to. Do you know what it is? I understand its that stone in the ka'aba.

So, muslims are praying to that stone idol all this while!

Please provide sensible answers and don't say you're not worshipping it despite you fellas kissing it, spending tons of money visiting it, and talking to it everyday. If that is not worship, then what is? You fellas need a jab.

Do you quote Paul? Have you allowed Paul to change Jesus' message? Why do you not quote Jesus, (in context)?

Can you go to Heaven if God has not forgiven you of your sins?

How do you get forgiven of your sins? Do you think confessing your sins gives you forgiveness from God?

Paul and the early church leaders said yes. Jesus said "No".

Are you teaching your children that their sins are forgiven by simply confessing them?

If yes, then you are in direct conflict with the words of Jesus.

Jesus taught that there was only one way for God to forgive your sins. If you don't know that way, how can you call yourself a Christian?

Stating that Allah is the same god as Elohim/YHVH may be the most
obvious inconsistency (lie) in the history of religion. The moon god of
the Quraish tribe of Mecca is very well known to archaeologists of the
Middle East.
The symbol of moon god of the Quraish tribe is the crescent moon. This
symbol can been found widely throughout Arabia etched on stone. Many of
these stones have been dated to 500 years before Muhammad was born.
The traditions of moon god worship such as Ramadan, Hajj, bowing down
(prostration) towards the idol of the moon god 5 times per day, throwing
stones at a pillar, circumambulating the Kabba, and others were being
observed centuries before Muhammad was born. It was the tradition of the
Quraish tribe to call their tribal god "Allah" - the name of Muhammad's
father was Abdullah, which means "Servant of Allah".
Islamic traditions have nothing to do with Abraham. Any Islamic claim of
a connection to Abraham is purely fabrication as is

I once read this discussion between Ali (ra) and a Christian - it sounds brilliant and typically like Seyyidina Ali (he demolishes the Christian belief in a few lines) but because he says something negative about Isa (as) is it sahih ?

A Christian said to Ali (ra) - why dont you accept Christianity
Ali (ra) said to a Christian - I would become a Christian if Jesus (pbuh) hadnt been "disobedient" to God*
The Christians was shocked and said "How can say Jesus wasnt obedient to God - he fasted and prayed - even your religion says he never was disobedient - so how can you say he was disobedient to God ?!?"

Ali (ra) "Because he said he was God but never worshipped himself"

* he is not implying that Jesus (pbuh) was disobedient -God forbid but usuing to show the Christian his error

Darwin's imagination...
Darwin never had formal education, in Biology... plus he hated Medicine... how can he become such a good scientist, he was just a amateur naturalist..
Biologyhttp://www.public.coe.edu/departments/Biology/darwin_bio.html
anyway

Check the fossils you will see no major differences in animals for a very long time
http://www.harunyahya.com/

700 thousand years ago there were intellegent people... Homo Erectus engineers uh... lolol... so what is evolution?
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg15721250.500-ancient-mariners--early-humans-were-much-smarter-than-we-suspected.html

The origin of mammals came from immaginary creatures maybe because there is no proof in Evolution where they came from... no fossil that proves it... or is there?

Maybe a fish turned into a frog... you try it... put yourself under water see if you turn into a marmaid or a sea monster... lol

How do you believe in Darwin? Explain..

Since there is strong and nearly overwhelming evidence that evolution is true. Will evolution-deniers have spent their lives lying about it go to hell? After all, who are they to decide how we were created?

My sister's boyfriend is an atheist and says this didn't happen--and former gang member and construction contractor. He said that it flooded but there was really a drain and levees. Because they lived there in Ur for 1,000 years. So it flooded all the time.

My sister and I are both Christians. We believe that we can only be saved through our Lord Jesus, Son of God. My question is, if the Jewish faith does not believe that Jesus was the messiah and was sacrificed for our sins, why do Jews not practice sacrificing animals anymore. Shouldn't you abide by the rules in the Old Testament if that's all you believe in? I am very earnest in my question, so please give an earnest answer. TY!

Now I'm an athiest, and I dont think all christians are 'awful'. Inflexible, intolerant, judgemental fundamentalists but to one side, christians a pretty cool.
When will people learn that faith doesnt decide who is evil and who is not, it is their actions?

In my household we were taught that "God" was a spirit, but meantime we had the old historically inaccurate picture of the blonde hair, blue eyed human being. "Jesus" "God" are one? The truth is not hard to find. We choose to hide what is true to continue this destructive lie.
