This is the quote from Deutronomy and it is authentic

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass that, whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)

Christians cannot say that it was Jesus it's talking about, the conversation is between MOSES AND GOD, and said i will raise up a PROPHET Like unto thee, (like you) so was Jesus just like Moses if you deny this is not Muhammad? It has NO mention of "I will send myself as a blood sacrifice" , but i will raise a prophet just like you (Moses) and put my words in his mouth, All Praises be to You God, The Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

What say you to this?

Often in answers people write "...a true Christian wouldn't..." So what does it mean to be a "true" Christian?

From what I've heard, from a Christian perspective, the Old Testament doesn't really apply anymore. That's what people say when others ask questions about how morbid and cold it was- slavery, rape, genocide, killing of witches. They say Jesus got rid of all that.

Well cool. I didn't exactly think those things were Jesus' cup of tea.

So why bother with the Old Testament at all? If Jesus came to make a new covenant, shouldn't you focus on him? Old Testament ideas like God smiting people and stuff don't really apply to Jesus or what he stood for. And don't even get me started on Creationism- the single biggest argument I hear between Christians and between Christians and others. I mean, what does Creationism have to do with Jesus' message.

Trust me Christians- you don't need the old testament except in reference to the prophecies of the messiah. It distracts from what's important- Jesus. Your religion would make a lot more sense to others too, because his teachings are universal.

Some find it,some don't. But if that's the case,couldn't the admittedly "preconstructed" forms of organized religion be a handicap in finding one's own way?

If a man who appeared homeless,dirty and hungry,came into your mosque,church or synagogue.
Would you kick him out ,would feed him and let him pray with you,would you call police and pray he never comes back.
Tell the truth........................He could be the Mahdi ,Jesus or the Messiah testing the validity of what you preach.

My 12 year old daughter has some "Good, Loving Christian," working on her at school. She ask me about what I do on here because I've got my Bibles out and told me about the two girls. I told her to give me a question and I'd write it in. She asked me what I had on the screen. It was a Question where one or two of the Christians were being their nastiest. She said, "are they always like that?" I said give me the Question. She did and I typed it in......within 10 minutes I called her back and she read the answers. She asked me to get rid of it.

There is no chance she will listen to Christians for a long time. She asked me what she should do if they wanted to talk to her again. I said, ask them to please stop bothering you and go away from you because you will take it as a threat if they don't. If the girls don't stop talking go to the principals office and call me. Then I will talk about choices with the principal....one of them being assault charges.

Seriously, where did these beliefs come from? Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, and Jews don't believe in a place called hell (just the grave), and they believe that Lucifer isn't evil, just the heavenly version of a prosecuting attorney.

If Jesus was a Jew, and he didn't come to change the law/scripture (by his own words), then why, all of sudden in the new testament, are there all these references to an evil Satan and the non-believers going to hell to suffer forever?

Did Jesus even say these things? Did early Christians subvert the old testament to make it support their positions? Were Christians pretty much a cult that won the religion lottery when they got endorsed by Constantine, thereby getting the ability to re-write their own past?

What do you think?

The worship of mary and the saints is an abstract subject dont you agree? I mean here we have them obeyeing 1 God for a minute but then they pray to saints for guidance when they proudly say obey one God and NO OTHER IS WORTH WORSHIP BUT HE, why not just pray to God and understand Saints have no power over your life, only God does, he does NOT share power with men and women. Quit the Idolatry and the trinity for that sake, both flawed.

Dare you deny this revelation?

During 911 Muslims released a deadly bacterium on journalists who mocked Bin Laden pre-911. What I found interesting was the nature of this bacteria. Extremely lethal, but it lies dormant in the dirt, it needs something else to release it.

Islam is similar to this bacteria. For almost close to a thosand years, Islam terrorized the world and ruled much of it. Muslims overran the greatest cities in the west (constantinoble, now Istanbul) and came close to taking down europe despite the crusaders attempts to stop them.

The greatest genocides in all human history, by a long long shot, were the Arab Muslim invasions of India, where the death toll is estimated, by the very best scholars on the subject (Durant, Gautier) to be as high as one billion over several hundred years. Yep, thats right...one billion.

Please, only thoughtful and reasonable answers will be entertained. All others, if they lean the least bit towards the extreme (emtional, beligerence, etc.) will be ignored and definitely not selected for my best answers.

I'm really not looking for a theological debate but I'm confused about something. Is your entire life taken into account when you die? What if you spend most of your life as a Christian but then you become atheist and die a week later? Does the Bible say what you believe when you die is all that matters? Of all the atheists in the world, a few of them will become Christian eventually. But what if you killed those atheists before they became Christian? Do they just have bad luck? Are they going to Hell for procrastinating?

The Bible is a love letter from God. It is full of encouraging words, answers tough questions, gets to know more about God and how one can be saved.
