Islam regards Jesus as a respected prophet. All the other prophets had two human parents. Did Jesus [ according to the Quran. I already know what the Bible teaches, so all you Christians, please hold off for a bit.
And I need explanations, not website referrals.

I have 2 twin daughters that are developmentally delayed. I have since their school age pushed for them to go to mainstream as I didn't want them to go to a special education school, we had a special arrangement with the school and they split their time between the mainstream and the special unit.
At the last meeting I had with the school it was agreed that as their age requires them to be in year 1 and they are not even speaking yet it was better to put them in full time special needs with the occassional sessions in the mainstream class, my husband and I have agreed to this as looking at them we don't think a year 1 class will be suitable for them or even meet their needs, I am a Xtian and constantly praying for God's Miracles in their lives, and I believe that nothing is too difficult for Him, however agreeing for them to go to the full time special education unit seems to be that I'm lacking faith. Please help!!

Here is proof that Islam grants the mother custody in cases of divorce. This also is another page of Children's rights. What do you think of it?

2. The child has the right to survival from the moment of its conception; this right is not to be abused by abortion or anything else that may deform the child or cause him/her physical disability.

6. The child has a right to be brought up in a decent and clean environment in his or her parent's and, in case of separation between the parents, in his or her mother's custody. If this is not possible, then the child has the right to be brought up in the custody of the next closest relative, as is clarified in the Islamic Shari`ah.

What exactly is difficult in saying that God has three forms which he takes all at once? Just because it's not physically possible doesn't mean it's difficult to comprihend.

Vatican Lawsuit Liability exceeds $1 billion

The Vatican, which has long claimed immunity to lawsuits, is now facing claimants seeking more than $1 billion.


Vatican Lawsuit Liability exceeds $1 billion in USA Courts

The Vatican, which has long claimed immunity to lawsuits, is now facing claimants seeking more than $1 billion.

Insurance commissioners from Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Okalahoma, and Arkansas have joined Holocaust victims and victims of pedophile priests in filing lawsuits against the Vatican and Vatican Bank. The Insurance commissioners are seeking over $600 million in a RICO (Anti Racketeering) lawsuit that has named several top Cardinals including two former Papal Nuncios to the United States and the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Sodano, as co-conspirators with convicted financier Martin Frankel in an unsuccessful attempt to launder an incredible $150 billion in insurance assets.

Frankel who has plead guilty to 20 counts of wire fraud and one count each of securities fraud, racketeering, racketeering conspiracy and a forfeiture charge has been cooperating with the government in retrieving $200 million in missing insurance assets. Frankel faces 150 years in prison and will be sentenced next year.

If they do then they have to accept the fact that HE sent the commands down .

I am not talking about whether Christians have to follow them... I am talking about the fact that if he is the God of the Old Testament then THIS IS WHAT HE COMMANDED :

"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21: but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.” ---- Exodus 21:20-21


Jesus said you can beat women with a rod till they are unconscious?


Either you believe Jesus is the GOD of the New Testament and the Old Testament or you dont believe he is really GOD.

If God showed himself and gave proof of his existence, would the nonbelievers be able to handle the fact they would go to hell for not having faith in the first place? God doesn't want to show his existence because it would then prove Him. Then there would longer be a faith in Him. He gave us life, don't you think that is enough? You tell me, answer this PLEASE... if it wasn't God who put us here, then HOW did we get here. If you say evolution, fine, but what was before that, or even before that? How did the world become?

When you've never met him, don't know that he is real, and he doesn't talk back?

Wouldn't that be like trying to speak to someone halfway around the world?

Of course if you stopped being a creationist you wouldn't necessarily become a neo-Darwinist, and vice versa.

If brain controls the body, who or what controls the brain? Is the brain completely autonomous? Does the brain produce the mind? Since the brain controls the body through chemical means, why does it produce a mind?

Let me ask a different kind of question here. There isn't a doubt in my mind that so many Christians along with other faiths can be hateful, mean, and vicious when it comes to their beliefs and religion, but why is the blame always shifted towards God? It is taught in all religions that He is merciful, all-loving, and created each and every one of us with His love, and why should he be blamed for all the sick extremist banner carriers out there who claim God hates certain people and only saves individuals under their beliefs only (ala Jehovah's Witnesses, some Evangelicals and extreme Christian groups..)? It is them who make God look bad, God didn't personally come down and dis everybody, so why shift the hate towards Him when it isn't His fault for what some HUMANS do?

Why, when you express your thoughts on how down you feel, almost every one recites verses from their bible and quotes religious phrases as if this will change your entire thought process. What ever happened to the old sayings, such as, Chin up old boy or tomorrow will be a better day or visit a child cancer ward and tell me things are still tough for you!

Would the Christians like it if they start teaching the children at school that there is no God?

Because I heard some people would like to insert religion into educations in school.

Religion and education should be two seperate things,

agree or disagree?
