Religion & Spirituality - 22 July 2007

What would you say is the most respectable thing you've heard a believer say on behalf of the existence of a God? (Even if it didn't make a believer out of you. I just mean the sort of thing that made you think that you still don't believe, but you can respect that argument.)

look at genesis 26:4: "And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven"

according to this christian site - http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/s... - , there are about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. Are there that many humans yet? If not, the prophecy has yet to come true.

ok about salvation again... the Bible says in Acts 2:21 (i think thats the reference) that "whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"... so if i just ask God to save me, knowing that Jesus paid for my sins in full, and knowing that salvation and forgiveness is a free gift that i just recieve, does that bring salvation? just asking God to save me? if so, where does recieving Jesus as Savior and Lord come in (and repentance)?

Christians feel like they have a responsibility to convert non-believers and teach them about Jesus Christ. They establish missions around the world in an effort to reach the un-churched. I do not hear about Jews making the same effort and wondered if it is just something that is not talked about or if the Jewish people do not feel called in that way. Thanks for any information, I am just asking out of curiosity & the question is not meant as an insult to anyone.

Why is there the common misconception that only Muslim women have been given laws regarding clothing? In Islam, Everything is made equal. We are not opressed not burdened. In fact we are enlightened and happy. The only reason many folks are understandably only shown images of women is because we are being compared to western women. People believe that we should be able to dress like them. They don't know that our restrictions on clothing apply to men as well. But since western men are not put under the microscope of designated beauty, people think that Islam lets Muslim brothers do as they wish. Many often forget in their discussion of clothing within the guidelines of Islam, to speak of the issue of Islamic Dress for Men. While the dress code of women is often the discussion of newspaper articles and magazine stories and academic writings, you hardly ever will see a word written about the issue of Islamic dress of Men.

What do you say about this?

What does this tell you? And what do you thinkg about it?

"MISCONCEPTION #5:
All Muslims are Arabs

The Muslim population of the world is around 1.2 billion. 1 out of 5 people in the world is a Muslim. They are a vast range of races, nationalities, and cultures from around the globe--from the Phillipines to Nigeria--they are united by their common Islamic faith. Only about 18% live in the Arab world and the largest Muslim community is in Indonesia. Most Muslims live east of Pakistan. 30% of Muslims live in the Indian subcontinent, 20% in Sub-Saharan Africa, 17% in Southeast Asia, 18% in the Arab world, and 10% in the Soviet Union and China. Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan make up 10% of the
non-Arab Middle East. Although there are Muslim minorities in almost every area, including Latin America and Australia, they are most numerous in Russia and its newly independent states, India and central Africa. There are about 6 million Muslims in the United States.

I don't understand the concept when my best friend (a baptist minister) talks about it. A voice from the clouds doesn't come booming out or anything. How is God's will determined without direct contact??

I do this and have my children do this as well-just think of how much that one prayer has now meant, just by asking God to Bless everyone! I have the faith to know that it is done as I have asked-with God's will,that is...Try it- it really works!
God Bless to everyone-E
