Anyone who does a serious study of Islamic culture can only conclude "no chance".

Its matters not whether your think Jihadists are "only a few". The reality is plain. Jihad has always been a part of Islam and the only thing that ever "wanes" is the technological resources of Jihadists not the idealogical commitment to purging the world of non-muslims or non-muslim rulers (Jihad).

Islam began with the ethnic cleansing of Jews, by Muhammad, from the Arabian pennisula. Shortly after, Islamic empires emerged (Abyssid and Ummayd).

Arab Muslims invaded India, in the greatest genocide of all human history.

The Ottoman Muslims ruled for 600 years.

All these conquests were made under the Islamic doctrine of "the land of Islam and the land of war". Muslims today assert the same doctrine.

Talk to Muslims. Go beyond small talk and phoney religious mannerism. See if the amazing "Dr Jekyl and Super Self righteous Monster Hyde" experience doesnt befall you. Stepfords from hell

Is answering a person's question by referencing dogma that they don't believe actually answering their question?

Is is because Christianity has no spirituality and only has religious dogma?

Is it because Pagans respect your difference of opinion and would prefer not to throw dogma at you but instead debate philosophically?

What do you think it is?

Not meant to be offensive this is a serious question.

Cross is it what Jesus died on?
Gal. 3:13 KJV Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. For it is written cursed is every man hangeth upon a tree.
Acts 5:30 The god of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
this made me wonder was Jesus really hung on a stake or a cross.
From what I have found out that was from a pagan religon that dated way before Jesus time.


What were the historical origins of Christendom’s cross?
“Various objects, dating from periods long anterior to the Christian era, have been found, marked with crosses of different designs, in almost every part of the old world. India, Syria, Persia and Egypt have all yielded numberless examples . . . The use of the cross as a religious symbol in pre-Christian times and among non-Christian peoples may probably be regarded as almost universal, and in very many cases it was connected with some form of nature worship.”—Encyclopædia Britannica (1946), Vol. 6, p

Missionaries that went to areas (especially in Africa) where Jesus' name was never mentioned before, but did not only bring Jesus' gospel. They also went there to plunder the land. Stole natural resources. Abused women and children. Killed the natives of the land. Now, how will God judge those who heard about Jesus from the missionaries but couldn't accept him because of two main reasons - this new person (Jesus) was saddled with oppressive missionaries and the natives died while busy fighting for their land; and because of the language and education level problems, though these natives had just heard about this Jesus, they couldn't comprehend what he really meant.

The Ten Commandments (Old Testament) say that you should not worship false idols. That comes from the Jewish faith. The Jewish god and the Christian god are not the same because Jews don't believe in the trinity. Yet, Christianity accepts this part of Judaism in the Old Testament so they would have to accept the Jewish god. But if they accept the Jewish god, they can't worship the trinity because that would be worshipping a different god/false idol. The original god that said this said, "I am a jealous god." So if you worship the trinity (Christianity), how can you rightfully follow the Ten Commandments (Judaism)? They're two separate gods that can't be simultaneously worshipped, and the ten commandments say that you can only worship one, the Jewish God. So what's with Christianity? How can it claim to be the true religion when it violates itself? I'm sooooo confused...

19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

I know we are told we have Gods Mercy and His Grace, and Christ died for us,&need tobe humble in charity, perserverence(s), commandments, LOVE, church, converting and attempting to convert others, but back to the question what if we were actually off without second chance, + to hell with that there hogfarm 'purgatory' theorism. And I am not refering to the situation where God will surely forgive us if we were trying but failed, becasue what if we are off on that assumption, God is not something we would feel comfortable with in saying, I know whats going on, Im safe, although that is what Christ says in trusting him. It just seemes somehow scarily scrambled and it would be nice going to heaven rather than a default leading to that place where Hitler is 4 ever /\/ 4ever. Thanks I know to me this is a sour thought or question, sorry but Im looking course for good out of it, like education and maily help if it gos anywhere in interest.

wouldnt the thought of being immortal take value away from life? why would anyone want to live forever? arent the things we value and cherish the things that could leave or break at anytime? we value our loved ones cause they could pass on at any moment, value our lives cause we could pass on as well. what would there be to value in heaven? infinite time with the being who made us? after 10 trillion years, it'd get old.

My parents arn't very religious and so I have only went to Church a few times. When I get a car I'm going to start going to Church and I'm going to wear a cross too. And because my parents arn't very religious I haven't had a Comunion, I haven't been baptised, or anything. The worst sins that I have commited is accidently useing the Lords name in vain when I've gotten mad. This doesn't happen often but I try my best to restrain myself from doing it.I hate satin a lot, and it seems like that he is putting the Lords name being used in my head and satin is also seems to be saying bad stuff about the Lord a lot in my head. I pray for the Lords help and I think he is helping me. Whenever Satin does this to me I tell him to leave just like what Jesus did when he was walking in the desert. I'm a really nice, not-bad, person just so everyone knows!
