Religion & Spirituality - 26 February 2007

this from another question - poster describing Hell:

"You have two choices, and it is either Heaven or hell, and by the way, hell is not some get together with all the other heathens for a party with the devil. It is an extreme hot (hotter than the sun) place, know as the lake of fire with burning brimstone, extreme intolerable pain of burning continuously and your worm that never dies. A place of total blackness and hate where you are tormented and your thirst never quenches, and you will remember your life and have many regrets with memories of a chance to be saved that you just threw away. You might even remember writing this and me answering you this way. This place called hell is also a very lonely place where you never have contact with anyone again. I personally would never want to spend forever like this."

most distorted by the media and the action of many heretic Muslims:

1. What does the word JIHAD means?
2. Generally, what JIHAD is about?
3. What are the rules of combat in Islam?

PS: Serious topic for serious people. Biased, aggressive people who use foul words, please refrain from answering?

Why can't the world just be fair to everyone? Why must one group be singled out & hated?

I am a born muslim living in South Africa , In the past 2 years i have began researching Islam & honestly I am proud to be muslim, it is a religion(if followed according to the Quran) of peace, love, understanding, humbleness, forgiveness & honesty.

If i had a second chance to change my life thier are 2 things i would not change, My Religion & My parents. Please try & understand the simple beauty of Islam. I sometimes wonder why the world refuses to see the true Islam, they judge all muslims based on the actions of a few, which is sad because i do not judge all christians based on the millions of muslims the crusaders killed, or i do not hate all Jews for the few that have killed thousands of muslims. The world does not hate all Germans for the killing of many jews & the world does not hate christians for the Crusaders or for the christian groups that burn out abortion clinics. .

According to James 5:16, we are to confess our sins/faults/trespasses to one another, and pray for one another. At Mass, we Catholics pray:

"I confess to Almighty God
And to you my brothers and sisters,
That I have sinned through my own fault,
In my thoughts and in my words,
In what I have done, and what I have failed to do.
I ask Blessed Mary, ever virgin,
And all the angels and saints,
And you, my brothers and sisters,
To pray for me to the Lord our God."

How do you Protestants live out James 5:16, and how often?

I know it wouldn't be possible to prove beyond a doubt that the body found is Jesus' and I know most of the proof says it isn't, but say they could prove it was. If you are a Christian, would you stop believing, or would you just change ur beliefs to like "Jesus spiritually rose" or would you think that it was a big scam that God put on earth to see who the true believers are?

You say your God knows all, so before creating Adam and Eve he knew they would sin, and in turn on Judgement Day Billions of people would be sent to hell and would get tortured for the rest of eternity.(many peaceful people are not Christians eg. 1 Billion Hindus, 600 million + Buddhists etc.)
So is your God such a entity who knows that at some point Of time would create a creation Whose many(billions) of Sons he knows in advance will suffer eternal pain.
Would he create a creation for whom he knows
one day his own son jesus will suffer very much.

No human father would create a robot if he knew in advance that the Robot would torture his son.
Why Not Create A Creation Which Was As Perfect As Him (GOD)

Atleast I know that no kind human being if granted the ability to create would create a creation whom he knows he would have to torture in the future.
Kind Parents punish their children again and again when they make mistakes and do not allow them Free will to commit sin for his entire Life and in the end throw them into a pit of fire.

I do, if not before. Look at the middle east at the moment, that tells us that the war of Gog and Magog is not too many more years away, as it is building up as we speak. Look how chipping will be in the near future be on everybody, as the mark of the beast 666 is already out in the European Parlement.Look how famine is becomeing rampant in these last days, look how unGodly most people are and how evil they are becoming.Look at everybody trying to push peace in the middle east with nothing working. Look how Russia and Iran are now allies. I believe God will not let this world continue for much longer the way it is. Jesus is coming soon christians, are you ready?

Atheis people are being pulled in my Satan. i worry and I pray for them. Also other people in other religions blindly think they are saved or going to heaven with what 80 virgin wives, blowing themselves up to get into their fake heaven. It's so sad that Satan has fooled so many people. What can we do to save them? We have to do more than prair.

I am an atheist, but for the sake of the world, can we come to some kind of common understanding that what God, Allah...etc is the force that preceded what we all know. Can we all live by human rights? No, my heart is not done bleeding.

Read somewhere that Christianity allows Polygamy.
It disturbs me that some Mormons practice Polygamy. If it's allowed, what valid, progressive difference is Christianity from Islam?
Please cite your sources too, for my further information.

So that they can at least get the words right?For those of you who actually know something about languages, you would know that today's English translation is less then 80% accurate because several words and entire sentences were translated without consideration to the original words or meanings.I believe that much of the Bible has been lost in translation.

Do they not see that to stone women in the twentieth century is backward and only makes people think their religion is evil?

How can any religion justify stoning to death a women who was raped because it shamed her family?

Don't answer please with the excuse of attacking christians. I am no pro any religion. I am pro God. However I can say you will not find any female in the United States stoned to death for this kind of thing or having an affair. What gives muslim men the right to decide this?
