Would you believe him since he is the son of God or would you wait for God to tell you that it is correct?

Both Muslims and Christians DO agree on one “litmus test”.

Islam and Christianity both believe that the False Messiah will be Evil and those who support him and his nation will be on the side of Evil.

Islam says the False Messiah will rule from Israel and all those who support that nation will be on the side of Evil.

Christians are in confusion as to who the False Messiah really is and which nation he will rule from.

Christians are currently in a stage of deception but when they realize that the False Messiah (The antichrist) MUST be the leader of Israel then they will realize that they are on the wrong side and that they are being deceived.

Islamic prophecy says the Christians will join the Muslims near the end of the battles after realizing they were on the wrong side the whole time……

I find it interesting that as I read through many of the answers in here I repeatedly see the exact same turn of phrase that without religion there would no morality.

Without religion many of you claim that there would be:
Riots
Murder
Rape
War
Chaos

I don't have to try very hard to find many of these exact same things being done all by religious people and often in the name of religion or god.

for example - the phrase - Kill'em All, let god sort them out - actually originates from Pope Innocent who used the phrase Kill them all, god will know his own when his soldiers could not distinguish between christians and non-christians.

Need I droll on about all of the child rape that was secretly supported by the catholic church.

Were it not for religion the Dark Ages would never have occurred and science and intellect would have thrived 600 years sooner. Instead our advancement as a society in the areas of science, technology and medicine stopped dead because of faith.

To be without a law or to be a part of a cursed law is to be unfullfilled.

Through Islam everyone can be a part of the holy covenant and have a divine law that leads to the pleasure of God.

Islam = Covenant through the first son of Abraham.

There is just as much "disagreement and uncertainty" about physics among physicists as there is about evolution among biologists. The bible has a lot of examples of physics that contradict our scientific understanding in ways similar to the creation/evolution disagreement. Why then do people argue for equal time for "magic man does it" in biology, but not physics?

btw, what would a semester-long course in intelligent design consist of?

Smith, the Christian Scientists have Mary Baker Eddy, the Branch Davidians had their David Koresh, the Catholics have their Pope, on and on. The Church of Christ thinks their correct because of their correct name and no musical instruments.

How is it in Job 1, after the "fall" of mankind, Satan stands in God's presence to bring accusation against Job? Either Satan is not evil, or God can abide it... or is there another alternative?

...you then learn for the first time that in REALITY, He resembles the most horrible-looking BEM (bug-eyed monster) that ever could have been conceived by sci-fi writers. Exponentially more repulsive than the creature in the movie, "Alien." And that while on earth, He simply made himself **appear** to look like everyone else.

(For this scenario, ignore the "made in God's image" passage.)

Other than being shocked, what would your NEXT reaction be? Could you deal with that... for all eternity?

I asked a different question earlier with this same verse included, nobody could directly answer my question, but, I was told that the sword meant "the word of God", of course non-Christians wouldn't have known that. So, my new question is, when people don't know anything about a religion such as Islam, but are aware of tatics, such as cherrypicking verses from the Quran and taking them completely out of context, why do they not explore Islam more instead of stopping at a single verse and assuming Islam is evil?

So out of the books of the bible, there were tons left out...why is this? Was it so that the priests could make the "Christian" faith more tuned to worshiping Jesus or was it because the Gnostic sect not adhere to there way of thinking??? Why were the books left out by Mary, Judas and others??? There are tons of questions i have but lately this one has bothered me... Who's to say that Jesus wasn't just a good public speaker, prying on the weak minded and spreading what would be considered now a day as good manners...I mean sure the 10 commandments are a good start but come on its all just common sense!!!

Thanks for your answers...this may help me a lot...

Is there a religious alternative to these scientific findings and theories? And should that be taught in school? There are plenty of unanswered questions and holes (pardon the pun) in the science of black holes.

That if we think of God as a thing, a being that exists in time and space, it constrains God to OUR own little world world. God is being itself, not A being. What do you think?

Isn't this a better idea of God, than some sky daddy? Or is the idea too hard? And what do you think this statement really means?

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

I always wanted to get pregnant, have a baby and be a mom without being married . I got pregnant and had the sweetest baby eight and a half months ago . My brother says God will punish me for having a baby without being married . Is there a religion that says it's okay to have a baby without being married ? Can I give him an opposing point of view or a second opinion ?

My whole life, I have that heard that the bible tells us not to judge others. And my whole life, I've seen some of the most judgmental people in those who call themselves believers. I have worked in the restaurant industry for 8 years now and some of the nastiest, rudest most condescending people have been the people who come in for lunch after church. It is so frustrating to me that these people who claim to be born-again or saved are living without the slightest ounce of compassion. My mom and sisters are guilty of this too! They are so self-righteous and judgmental about everything I do. I am 25, by the way. I am compassionate, make good decisions, treat others with respect, yet because I don't go to church with them and read the bible with them everyday and don't pray before I eat, I am a bad person. How can they expect me to even WANT to follow their path if not only they, but so many other so-called believers out there setting such a bad example of what it is to be religious?

OK, obviously not. You aren't put to death for working on a Saturday, and if you rape a girl you go to prison, you don't buy her from her father and marry her.

BUT, Maybe it should be? How's this for a proposal - If you break a law and are convicted, either you are punished, or a completely law-abiding citizen who had nothing to do with the crime is selected at random and executed.

Works for me. What do you think?

I know you guys have gobs of fun aaand drinks ripping the Bible. However you should be aware that when it mentions “The Four Corners Of The Earth”, it is a METAPHOR. Since this little oversight is just information and not about sin or proof of God you should not object to this reference.
In the book of Job26:7-9…
He spreads out the northern skies over empty space.
HE HANGS THE EARTH OVER NOTHING.
He wraps up water in his clouds.
They are heavy, but they don't burst.
He covers the face of the full moon.
He spreads his clouds over it.
(New International Reader's Version)
Would you kindly pass this around amongst yourselves so we can at least be on the same page?
