I am confused about kariat (divine severence of existence for certain sins). Does that mean that the soul has no share of the world to come, whether for the righteous or the wicked? Does it just mean that the soul dies and still has a share in the rewards and punishments of the next life? Is it something other than that? Please help me understand better what it is and how it is administered and the long term reality the soul experiences. Thanks and all the best.

Hallelujah obviously comes from the Hebrew words "Hallelu yah", which mean "Praise God". However, the Christians translate their Bible and all of their prayers out of Hebrew. So why is that one word always said the Hebrew way?

Islam mean's the submission to the moon-god "Ala" Which also fit into Babylonian belief of their moon god "Sin" Muhammad elevated the Arabia moon god who was a sexual being and had to do with water. Which is why they wash their feet before prayers. Allah had three daughters "E.B."

Could this be why woman are property under Islam and why they have so many wives? And why is the left of Europe and the USA not looking at the truth of this false pagan religion and the media will not as well. And it is OK for Muslims to leave their home land and have sex with non believers of their moon god.

Give me your thoughts.

when someone says "What nonsense, give me an example?" If he cannot personally find nonsense on just about every page of the book, is it just hopeless to try to appeal to his intelligence?

why would the pieces that weren't recovered be anything different? They were part of the same scroll, or set of scrolls. They wouldn't have kept a "book of abraham" account on the same scrolls as the funerary text. The farms explanation of this is absurd.

"In 1952, a professor of military history, Sanders, set down three tests which can be used for any historical writing. He named these tests the bibliographic test, the internal test, and the external test. We can examine the Bible with these tests in the same way we would examine other ancient documents.....

Apart from the New Testament, the only other ancient writing which has any level of accuracy associated with it, is Homer. And yet the New Testament has a far higher degree of accuracy than Homer. Scholars universally accept the copies of Homer's writings as being accurate. It is undeniable, then, that the New Testament is by far the most accurately reconstructed ancient document. It passes the bibliographic test with flying colours."


``....Jesus...fulfilled over three hundred propecies (spoken by different voices over 500 years), including twenty-nine major prophecies fulfilled on a single day - the day he died.'' Since many of these prophecies were to do with the place and manner of his death, and even the place of his birth, he could hardly have deliberately set out to fulfil them!....
Just suppose the chance of each one of those prophecies being fulfilled in isolation was a very generous 50%. Then the chance of three hundred such prophecies all being fulfilled is the same as that of three hundred consecutive coin-tosses all
coming up tails: one in 203703597633448608626844568840... - that is, about one in two million million million million million million million million million million million million million million million."

If your child previously held the same atheistic beliefs as yourself, but then came to the conclusion that God is real, how would you react to this? What if your child tried to convince you that God is real?

There are 3 heavens as taught in the Bible:

1-Heaven-->where the birds fly.

2-Heaven-->space and galaxies

3-Heaven-->God's home in the spirit world, which cannot be explained by old or modern science.

What is heaven to you?

Lutherans Urged Not to Punish Gay Clergy in 'Faithful' Relationships
The largest Lutheran body in the nation caused a stir Saturday after controversially deciding not to punish homosexual clergy who are in sexual relationships.
At its annual assembly, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) passed by a vote of 538-431 a resolution urging bishops to refrain from disciplining pastors who are in “faithful committed same-gender relationships”.

in heaven but the number you "have" is the one to the Lord of the Jews would you be surprised to find out MAN'S religiions are the ones who gave you this number and NOT the one "Jesus" gave ? How will you "connect" to the Lord "if" you believe in all "religions" tell you is "truth" when it is NOT ?
