Religion & Spirituality - 20 August 2007

I know it's a dumb question, but I honestly have no idea. The more you can tell me, the better. Or at least suggest a place where I can read about it. Thanks!

If a Muslim swears in the name of Allah that he/she would do this, and then didn't, I know this is considered a sin. But what can you do to recompense? I know it's fasting but what kind of fasting and how many days?

Example: A person swore by the name of Allah that he would never marry because he was so full with grief. But after the years, he found an attractive, kind and polite girl. What should he do? He had already swore never to marry yet he wants to marry this person.

Help me, dear Muslims.

... is much the same as being a fan of something like, say, Star Trek. Imean, they go on the same way, quote them and give episode names and numbers, can't enter any conversation without mentioning it. Church must be to christians like having a Sci-fi convention every week!

Discuss.

There is a number of religious people on here that quote their Bible for every answer instead of taking their knowledge of their religion and book and coming up with their own answer. Is it that hard to think for themselves, or do they simply not understand how to speak their own thoughts without being led?

I mean, it's fine to quote, but a whole answer in quotes looks like you have no mind of your own. How about placing a quote and then explaining how it applies? It's like parrots- they recite what they're taught, but they don't know what it means enough to discuss it.

Anyone else think it's odd that people just quote other's words instead of finding their own? Does anyone have a reason why? I know this isn't all or even most of the religious people on here, just a select few, but I just find it strange. Ideas?

Hmm...If the earth completely flooded, wouldn't all bodies of water had been connected? Meaning all bodies of water would have become salt-water, that in mind, wouldn't all freshwater animals had died? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and saying Noah didn't bring them on the Ark..

Oh one more, this was buggin' me too..

There are certain animals that /only/ eat certain animals or plants. Did Noah actually have every kind of soil on the Ark, growing every kind of plant to keep the animals alive? Even weirder, how did he feed those animals that only eat a certain type of OTHER animal. Example, there's a certain bird that only eats a certain type of snail.. Now since both the snail species, and the bird species still exist, I guess they didn't die in the flood. How did he feed the bird if he only brought two of them snails?

No flaming please, serious questions.

I am a Christian. I belive that Christ died for our sins, and I accepted him as my lord and saviour.

With that said.. back to the main topic.

I have noticed dozens of questions completely bent on discriminating against someones beliefs or religion. Thats not what duiscussion is all about. I don't believe in evelution, but that doesn't mean that I go around saying, " Evelutionists are so blind, they did so and so, and believe so and so.. man they are retarded ". Thats not fair to the evelutionists that don't believe in whatever the topic was.

Same goes with Christians, or Buddists. I hate questions that single out a GROUP of people, and condemn the entire people that follow that group to being the same way, or stupid for what they believe. One question asked why - ALL - Christians make fun of other religions. Thats not true.. I wouldn not EVER say someone was foolish for being Muslim, or anything else.. because Gods Word says to respect every religion, even if they are wrong.

I am a young catholic college student, even so, I like reading about other religions of the world just so I can have a better perspective of the world. I was recently reading a book that mentioned that there is no life after death in Judaism, but didn't elaborate any further. Is this true? Can anyone provide further insight? Thank you very much!

I ask this, the news and the events in revelation the book of the Bible has a lot in common. Making it true that the son of God is coming back. And those who believed in Him, Knew His ways, and the other didn't know His ways, but knew mens way. And the judgement on those who will perish and those who will enter in. Any one that calls on His name will be saved, and He will answer back.

jesus got married (it doesnt say he didnt got married either) does it mean he didnt got married??
in the bible doesnt say that mary died so does that mean mary is still alive? the bible doesnt say what happened with jesus when he was 16, does it mean jesus was never 16?

Not going too well so far. I wonder if Jesus was labeled an "idiot" though, hm?!

Seriously though: what do you think is/was needed?

This came from the Prophet Muhamad's last sermon some 1400 years ago.

"an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action."

Islam; the first religion to promote human equality? =D Thanks.

at most Christians are wasting their time because they doomed themselves years ago. Teenages always doubt just about everything about the holy spirit and the Bible, at least for a time.

verses - Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel "which being interpreted is,
God with us. Isah 7:l4 and Matt 1:23. It means God in heaven
came to earth to be a man and dwell with us, through the
Holy Spirit.

How do you know?
Do you just start getting a feeling with people.. Like their aura or whatever.
I'm not completely sure I believe in this kind of thing but I'm looking into it.
I would appreciate honest answers from people who actually believe in this kind of thing. I'm very curious about it.
The question is not very specific.. But I'm not entirely sure how to word it.
Hopefully it makes enough sense.

I'm sending a friend of mine a medicine bag (along w/ a few candles and other things) and I want a few sugestions on what else to put in it, so far my ideas are rose quartz, quartz, amethyst, kyanite, smoky quartz, sodalite, melachite, unikite, titanium flame, and dumortiertite

these wont all be carried at one time but I want him to be able to chose from stones that will probably be helpful to stick in the bag to carry around.

info on him, he's a cancer aswel as a little bit of what ppl refer to as an indigo ((though he's mostly intune with his higher 4 chakras)), and a musician. he's prone to depression, spiritual attacks, and recently alot of emotional trauma problems from the past aswell as newer situations have been a problem for him.


please DO NOT answer this question with telling me stones do not work or anything of that nature, only honist ansewers please, any info that comes to mind helps :)
