(1)
Genesis: 16
15: And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ish'mael.
16: Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ish'mael to Abram.
So, Abram was 86 when Ism’mael was born

Genesis: 17
16: I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her; I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her."
17: Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, "Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"
a)Abraham was 100 years when he was first told about Isaac. So Ish’mael is 14 (=100-86)
b)How dare could Abraham laugh from and fleer his God’s word? But let’s continue

Genesis:17
21: But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year."
At the time of Issac’s birth “at this season next year” Ish’mael would be 15=(14+1)

Judaism, Christianity, Islam are of the same Abrahamaic Source and solemnly worship the One True God, why the believers of these relgions don't try to seek for mutual understanding and harmony as God ordains?
The teachings, rituals, formalities...may differ due to differences of times and cultures..., but the essence of religion is only the love of the One True God for One Humanity, why don't we concentrate our highest efforts in the realization of this decree of God?
Shouldn't we, the masses of believers, present our iniatives to the religious learders for their consideration? When the Unity of religion occurs, mankind may enjoy the greatest glory and mercy of the One True God.

Religion itself is on trial, like it or not. But what appears to be shaping up, in the not so distant future, is a face-off betweem Islam and civilization.

Islamic hordes spread Islam like wild fire right from its start, and now, being almost 1000 years younger, is poised to overtake Christianity, the merchant of "love your enemy", like a Lion upon a fawn.

Islam is predatorially adapted. It grows via shrewed breeding and violence doctrines. The massive oil wealth of Islamic countries has also purchased them a level of sophistication that has even finally created actual conversions via propaganda. Stuff like "the miracles of the Quran" propped up on literally hundreds of well-finanaced websites gives them an angle they have never had.

Muslim unity within free socities is so strong, that a mere 10-20% is enough for them to push elections or coup's their way.

The projections decidedly favor the Islamic horde...the good money is on them...Im afraid.

this is about sex right? So if a gay man lays with a woman he does nothing sexual. So then laying with a man not as he lays with a woman could include sex right?

Biblical loophole?

I am a devout Christian, I chose my faith shortly after my dad died.
I sunk into depression and found a church. I shared with them my sorrow and i prayed the Sinners Prayer and accepted Jesus into my heart.

Because of the religious hatred and bigotry about Islam, i made a choice to learn about all faiths. Even traditional faiths of my own tribe (Cherokee), Buddhist, Wicca, Jehova Witness, Judaism. And now I feel its time to learn about Islam. I have some questions.

Ive read lately that many muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet of God.

Also that some muslims believe that Jesus in fact will return, like all Christians.

That Islam means: Peace.

Are these statements true?

Also, I have made a career choice to becoming a fire fighter after the heroics of 9/11. What are your thoughts and oppinions on terrorism.
What do you think of the state of Israel? and Iran's nuclear program?
What do you think of Jews and Christians, the USA, athiests?

Thank you for your time.

I see so many cases where people are afraid of offending God, or somehow snapping God out of existence with studying a 'controversial' scientific discipline like evolution.
Is God really nothing more than an enormous Miss Manners who looks down at humanity clucking a holy tongue saying, "Oh, ick! Don't do that! Don't eat that! Oh, gross!"
And is God so fragile that if I ask questions about existence or the nature of things God will simply vanish?
If there is a Creator of the Universe (and I do like to believe there is) I think this Creator is larger, more pervasive and infinitely more creative than any God the human mind has been able to imagine.
What would happen if we all dropped our human pretenses of Absolute Knowledge and leapt into the wonderful world of 'anything is possible'? Isn't it more enriching, more fascinating and more humbling to always ask the question: 'what does this all mean?' than to go around with an idea that I Know The Truth?
I certainly think so.

Mormons believe that God cursed Cain with black skin and a flat nose. However, the
“mark” was set upon Cain before the Flood. In that Flood all flesh perished except for Noah, his
wife, his three sons, and their wives. If the curse upon Cain was dark skin, the only way the race
could have survived was for Noah to be a direct descendent of Cain. However, Noah’s genealogy
didn’t come from Cain, but from Seth (Genesis 5:3,6–32).
