\\A leading Islamic doctor is urging British Muslims not to vaccinate their children against diseases such as measles, mumps, and rubella because they contain substances making them unlawful for Muslims to take.

Dr Abdul Majid Katme, head of the Islamic Medical Association, says almost all vaccines contain un-Islamic “haram” derivatives of animal or human tissue, and that Muslim parents are better off letting childrens’ immune systems develop on their own.

Dr Katme, an NHS psychiatrist, said: “If you breastfeed your child for two years—as the Koran says—and you eat Koranic food like olives and black seed, and you do ablution each time you pray, then you will have a strong defence system.”//

To a degree I would agree with him, except in the case(s) of debilitating diseases which can kill or seriously harm children.
Building a strong immune system of your own is an essential thing for anyone irrespective of religious belief.

Don't quote me Isaiah 14:12. If you do the only thing it will prove is that you didn't read the entire chapter. Shoot back a few verses and God is merely taunting the human King of Babylon. God is saying mocking him because the king thought so highly of himself.

Is this one of those traditional doctrines that people cling to even though it is wrong?

Granted, it doesn't affect salvation or the gospel message... but man, shouldn't you know your enemy?

If it were true wouldn't he be named in the new testament as such? Heck, Jesus calls himself the morning star in Revelation:

Revelation 22:16
"I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star."

I bring this up again because I see false doctrine being spread and I feel the need to squash it.

Whoever, abandoning sensual passions here,
would go forth from home--
his sensual passions, becomings,
totally gone:
he's what I call
a brahmin.

Whoever, abandoning craving here,
would go forth from home--
his cravings, becomings,
totally gone:
he's what I call
a brahmin.
-Dhammapada, 26, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

"If" there is a god i dont think that 'how' you worship it matters but the fact that you worship it is the important thing.

"After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that [1] all religions are true; [2] all religions have some error in them; [3] all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives. My own veneration for other faiths is the same as that for my own faith; therefore no thought of conversion is possible." (M. K. Gandhi, All Men Are Brothers: Life and Thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi as told in his own words, Paris, UNESCO 1958, p 60.)

Given the interpretation of Mammon to be: Money, riches, property, worldly goods or profit; what are the implications of this when we come to buying goods ie: groceries, clothes etc.?

Most companies are in the business of making a profit, so should we be spending ethically?

Or is it what is in our hearts as we buy goods that matters?

This question came about through a discussion between my wife and I. She contends that we should be looking into buying goods on a more ethical basis and not just on our needs. I agree to a point but feel that our motivations when we buy are more important ie: feeding and clothing ourselves and our children.

I would be most interested to hear other Christians views on this matter.

God bless and thanks in advance.
