Religion & Spirituality - 20 April 2007

One last question about my marriage. Can anyone guess what my last name will be? My fiance is a converted muslim as am I from Nigeria. That should make it a little bit easier. But still, I highly doubt anyone will be able to guess this. Good luck!

And to make this a religious question, how do you feel about people who convert to Islam? So many like to say Islam oppresses women, so how do you explain the large number of female converts? It can't be that most women like domination and all that other bull, because I certainly don't and refuse to put up with it. So what other reason could there be for women of all backgrounds and cultures for converting to Islam, a religion that as told by propagandists and haters, supposedly oppresses us?

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Now before you annoying smart-asses leave your snide remarks, keep in mind this question is directed toward people who do, in fact, pray for other people's salvation. If you don't pray for other people's salvation, the move on. This question is not addressed to you.

To the rest of you, let me explain why I'm asking this question. Most people believe that our decision to embrace the gospel is a free will decision. If it's not by our own free will, then it's not genuine. I often hear people say that love that isn't freely chosen isn't really love at all.

With that being the case, why pray for somebody's salvation? Aren't you, in essence, asking God to DO something to CAUSE somebody to choose to embrace Christ? What do you expect God to do in answer to that prayer?

Simple really. I normally only answer questions but every now and then I will ask one. I want to apologize to anyone I may have offended recently. It was probably accidental and totally unintentional on my behalf. Please accept my apology and forgive me.
I love each and every one on this site and do not want to have a guilty conscience at the end of the day. So for those who have been offended, I'm sorry.
I won't apologize for speaking the truth but I will for anything said out of line.

Than how do you explain the success of the western world. God wants us to prosper and it's only because of the intervention of the west that other parts of the world have improved.

I know that God does not let us know he exists on purpose in order to test us, but if you pray and you read the Bible, you will know that Christianity is the one true religion and it is the only way to get into Heaven.

God helped the prosperity of the western world. Look how far behind Asia, South America, and Africa were before Christians helped them out. The success of the US was due to God. This was a Christian nation and it still is, despite what some liberal communists think.

God helped America succeed. That is a testament to the power of God and what he can do for people that follow the one true religion.

Do you agree?

About a month ago i started hearing things moving in my room and then suddenly i would see a shadow on the wall that was walking like a human except no one was there. that continued for a week (thought it might be stress) then i started seeing demons in my room that would be staring at me, and the noises continued. the first night that happend i started reading werses from the bible and praying, this thing was angered by me doing this and then a dictionary from my bookcase flew at my head. i kept praying every night and reading from the bible and after a while it went a way for a week. then this week things like my desk started levetating and I was seeing this demon again.
