If he can't do ungodly things than how did he become human(Jesus).

Jesus ate, slept, and according to you died.

These are somethings that are ungodly.

if he does these things that makes him no longer god.

If you were to put a tail on a human along with a lot of hair,claws and turn them into a wild savage, with the extreme predator minds humans have we would be getting eaten.

Considering they would be better at living in this world than we are, where are they?

For a long time I have believed that the Bible was made by men so it had to not be totally true.

Then recently I became a believer and started reading the Bible, Maybe about a year ago.

But now I am starting to wonder. I do not doubt that the real Bible was true but now it has been translated over hundreds of years, words today can not possibly mean what they meant then, there must be words in the real Bible that they could not find the exact meaning for in English, I have heard that books have been erased. How can we possibly be sure that we are doing the right thing by having faith in these people that they rewrote the Bible correctly? What if our having faith that this Bible is true leads us into damnation?

Let's say Palestine was Israel and they all live together. The Arab League approve the establishment of Palestine while The Jews oppose. No one listens to The Jews and The Arab League establish Palestine anyway. Palestine now get a little more than half the land against the will of Israel. You can see how The Jews would be angry with Palestine?

I am 15 yrs old, (shh yes I should be in bed but, I wanted to ask- hoping that I could sleep better).
My mother is a Catholic, and she raised me to be a Catholic also. What I am not understanding about my mother is that she preaching the bible like it's on the back of her hand. Dislikes people that do sins. And preaching them out when they do thing wrong.
Exampe: She will tell me to let things that happened to me go. She tells me to forget them. But, when my uncle did her hard wood floors he screwed them up and he won't redo them. She holds a grudge and will do this to everyone she is wronged against, and in my eyes is down right mean. To me she controdicts herself. She has a mean/evil side to her.
Is she a full -fledged Catholic, or the does the devil know the bible by heart and uses it to get to people? Get what I am trying to say to you? I don't understand her. But, I want to please her and stop having her be so upset with me. I thought having a religion would make you sweeter???

They rebel against God's Word

Matthew 5:42
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Most Xians break God's command to love their your neighbors:

Matthew 22:36-40
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

Therefore this means they don't love him

1 John 53
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."

3.

some questions posted in here are obviously not serious...but they are still amusing. I mean, God must have a sense of humor...look at the platypus. So do you think questions like 'Is Jesus bringing sexy back?' anger God and Jesus, or make them crack a smile? I think if the person asking them has a good heart and isn't meaning to mock but just amuse...then God laughs at them.

I am a Christian. I want to make that clear from the outset.
While I do wish more of you would see my POV, I am not here to try to convert anyone. I get just as disgusted as you do when people try to force their beliefs on someone else.
While I do believe what the Bible has to say about homosexuality, I also realize that my rules should not apply to anyone who does not share my faith.
I will admit that the notion of homosexual marriage makes me uncomfortable, because it strikes at my idea of family values. On the other hand, any couple that lives together, pays bills together, and (and this is the important one) raises kids together, ought to have equal rights under the law, no matter what gender(s) are involved.
I don't condemn anyone to hell, since I do not believe in hell...but I do believe in the "second death" as written in Revelation.
There are many other Christians who think the way I do.
My question: Why do you tend to lump us all together?
Your thoughts?

I am not asking if you support either the Israelis or the Palestinians. Or if you think that one side is evil and committing war crimes against the other. That is NOT my question. As such any propaganda praising or denouncing one side or the other will simply be reported.

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh)
IN THE BIBLE

by

Dr. Zakir Naik

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Old Testament:


The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157:

"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel".

1.
MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY:



Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.

If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after
Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will
fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.

However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh):

i)


Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention.

[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]

ii)
Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.

iii)
Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158)



Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).

Words in the mouth:

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from Almighty God he repeated them verbatim.

"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."

[Deuteronomy 18:18]

iv)
Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment. Jesus (pbuh) said, "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36).

v)
Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime but Jesus (pbuh) was rejected by his
people. John chapter 1 verse 11 states, "He came unto his own, but his own received him not."

iv)
Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not bring any new laws. (Mathew 5:17-18).

2.
It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19



"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."

3.
Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:



It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:

"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."

When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned".

4.
prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentioned by name in the old testament:



Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16:

"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem."

"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters
of Jerusalem."

In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present.


Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the New Testament:

Al-Qur'an Chapter 61 Verse 6:

"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.' But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, 'This is evident sorcery!' "

All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians.

1.
John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

2.
Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."

3.
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:



"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".

"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the
Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the
Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures.

Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise
that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the
Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh).

4.
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:

"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".

The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy referes to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

NOTE: All quotations of the Bible are taken from the King James Version.

Christans, I think asking questions is how we learn, but we should not be rude or hate full do you?
I have seen "so called " christians be rude and hateful to atheist, thats terrible they are our fellow man. and it boils my blood, I resent them giving christanty a bad name. I'm a Christan and I will not ever do that.

and I have seen atheist or one who "claim" to be atheist be rude and hateful also.

PPL. have a free will to believe what they choose even if we don't agree.
But when asked I will give my opinon. but it's just my opinon.

Find it so hard to accept groups liek the KKK, and people like Hitler are of their ranks? I usually see it boil down to them going over and saying, "X is/was not a real Christian."

Who defines what a real Christian is? Is there an exam they had to take beforehand, and only real Christians know the grades?

Do they not realize their faith has one of the bloodiest track records in history? Or were those CHRISTIAN LEADERS, also not Christians?

I just want to know what are some of his Prophesies that came true so far? I believe that science exist in order for the Prophesy to be fulfilled. The things from this world will not have any benefit to the next, but the word of God. I believe that natural selection is away to lead us further from the word, because the world is something to test our faith.
