accurate? Was Muhammad a war monger? Would he justify killing innocent lives for the cause of Islam? Is this war really a religious war against christianity and islam?

THE Tanak, or Old Testament is a collection of selected writings composed and edited by members of the Hebrew-Jewish community between the twelfth century B.C. and the beginning of the Christian era. It includes such diverse materials as prophetic oracles, teachings of wise men, instructions of priests and ancient records of the royal courts. Some material is historical, MUCH IS LEGENDARY; some is legalistic, some is didactic.

Like all religions, all the evidence for it is speculative and highly unlikely, if not impossible. There is no evidence for a miraculous God. No one has ever seen a miracle (In the strictest sense of the word) and believing in God, therefore, is un-reasonable and not logical.

There is no Egyptian history of the miracles of God, or the plagues, or even the Hebrew people (just a smidge)... The only account of all these supposed miracles is in the recorded oral-traditions of an ancient, nomadic and superstitious people.

but what about the freewill of the victims to choose not to be beaten and raped? Why doesn't their free will have an equal say? Why does god make the perp's free will so much stronger than their victims free will?

I am a United States citizen. I am going to a major university to become a teacher. I am a Muslim and very proud of it. I have worn my veil since I was nine. I don't keep up with it like I should. I wear tight revealing clothes and I don't feel very modest. I feel that I make my religion look bad. So would it be really disgraceful if I decieded to stop wearing it. What do you think

Let me clear this up. I had to make up a new account because the stalker is still stalking me. She is now after my friends and I'm trying to take the heat off of them. The person after me is a psychopath and as far as I know, is not on at this time. So that my other account does not get deleted, I'm using this one. I know I have low points.

Anyway, why are victims further victimized after having been attacked? What kind of soulless people enjoy harming others? Are there own lives so empty and brittle that they need to live through others? What is your opinion on this please.

This is a followup question to my earlier question, Are Christians God's slave? I then added Scripture that clearly teaches that we are in fact slaves or servants of God. People just have a natural reaction against the terminology of "slaves."

See the Question Here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AurrJHGmCATyXmBv.m1PFL3sy6IX?qid=20070305215117AAU0v4L

My next question has to do with the Christian and his free will. Aren't Christians supposed to make a free will choice that they will no longer exercise their free will but submit to God's will? Jesus said quite clearly that we are to deny ourselves. Also consider the verses that I quoted from Romans in my last question.

Also a non-Christian made a good point, Scripture teaches us that we were bought with a price. We belong to God! (1 Cor. 6:20, and many others)

Either God is your Master or something else is. (Matthew 6:24)

God is love, God is truth. If you say that you believe in God where did the idea of God come from. For me, and many before me, it came from the bible. Everything that I know about God and will ever know about God came from the bible. Every lesson taught by God in His word shows us what true love really is. If you love mankind, you will not want to see the hurt, harm, pain that are being caused to so many in the world. Even if they don't know the God you serve, you don't wish them any harm or pain. You do good not evil or bad. You help. You give not expecting something back. You are more concerned for the well being of other human beings, not just be concerned about save the whale but kill the baby. Are not humans more important. Even if many don't think so GOD does. When I hear of a kind act, or a kind word spoken that helped someone, I am encouraged that some humans get it. This is what the bible teaches. People may twist it but it doesn't change what it means for millions.Truth!

In Christian beliefs would a rapist and murder who brutally raped and killed 5 young adult girls who just weren't sure if God existed go to heaven if moments after his 5th rape/murder he realized he had been shot. He began to pray and beg for forgiveness and ask Jesus to save him while the 5 girls rot in hell for not being so sure that God exist?

Do you have to read the bible to convince yourself that is there definitely a God?

Do you have to be convinced by the person who wrote the bible in order to feel God's spirit, or to even acknowledge him?

Can't you realize we're into a world that weren't made by mankind?

Can't the trees that God put here convince you?

Can't the animals that no one can create convince you?

The sun in space, can't just the Sun convince you that there MUST be a God, since we can't even get close to it?

Why do we have to read the bible to be convinced?

Note that it was me WHO wrote the bible, so did you. We're getting spiritual by ourselves...

I've changed since freshmen year. I stopped having sex and selling myself to people practically. I've cleaned up my act. Why is it now haunting me? When I was doing it I never thought that I would fail two of my classes and I never thought i would look back and be upset. Now that I have remained abstinent for two years now why is that everything sucks. I don't have nearly as much friends as I used to. I'm really quiet. My grades are well but it seems like now i'm trying my best their are more obstacles. Slacking off is so easy but really trying your best sucks. Any advice, tips, comments or similiar stories you would like to share. Thank you so much.

Because I have been doing that as well. It began with fleeting feelings here and there that, "I shouldn't be watching this," or "What good purpose is this show or movie about?" Now, I find myself becoming increasingly selective in what I watch, often opting to not watch anything at all. This has come from no conscious effort on my part, but gradually over time. What do you think?

Why do so many people fail to view the Bible as they view other ancient texts?

Aesop's Fables, made animals interesting to humanity, a perfect choice of moral education.

Other than the Fables are:
The Illiad and Odyssey, Book of the Dead,...

All of them can be literally understood, and nobody has subscribed to them

What do you think? Do you think the world should continue to endure and tolerate islam while it spreads its fangs and the terrorists are bombing everywhere from Europe to America to asia?

What are the consequences if we endure and let the muslims alone? Will they attack us again? Or will they leave us alone?

If they will leave us alone, then perhaps the 9/11 would not have occurred and those people in the London train, Indian trains, bali hotels, Jakarta hotels, Russian schools etc would all NOT have happened.

Since it is likely that they will NEVER leave us ‘Infidels’ alone, ever, what should the world do with Islam?

a student should bring a notebook and let the monk, imam, or priest sign on it. 20 visits (or signatures) to temples, mosques, or churches means 1,000baht per student. Where will the fund come from? government, thu the ministry of education. They made it a nationwide practice starting yesterday (Misaka Bucha day) here in Thailand.

its a desperate move from the religious leaders here. i dont think my church is included here. i totally disagree. Any opinion?

Why are people so ignorant of and judgemental of the Bible- especially why the apocryphal books are not a part of it ? Those books make no sense historically and their facts are a mess, which is why they aren't included. The ORIGINAL Bibles were Greek - the common language at the time, then came the Hebrew bible, then the Roman Catholic ( Paganistic - Constantine - for anyone who wants to contend this ) changed it to Latin, which only they spoke, and destroyed the other books - nearly. How ? Ever heard of the RCC's sanctioned Inquisitions ?
