"Man is fed with fables all his life, and leaves it in the belief he knows something of what has been passing, when in truth he has known nothing but what passed under his own eye".

And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur'an, 51:47)

Until the dawn of the 20th century, the only view prevailing in the world of science was that "the universe has a constant nature and it has existed since infinite time." However, modern research, observations, and calculations carried out by means of modern technology have revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning and that it constantly "expands."


Divinely Inspired, or the Work of Mohammed (pbuh) ?

Matthew 18:21-22 "Then Peter came up and said to him, 'Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?' Jesus said to him, 'I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.'"


Can you disfellowship a person and have them re-enstated 7X77 equals 539 times? If you make them wait a year for the elders to believe, through his proof that he is truely repentant?

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
-Loa Tzu

In my life, I have had and continue to have many teachers. Sometimes they take on a role of many years with me, and sometimes it is a chance encounter, a simple conversation.
One such teacher was a WWII veteran I met while waiting to find out if I had thyroid cancer. I was very afraid. He sat in a wheelchair in the waiting room. He was very kind and started talking about his life. He said he had a wonderful wife and they had been married 45 years. They married before the war. When he was injured, he wrote and told her that he was setting her free to marry someone else. She wrote back and told him to stop being silly, he was the love of her life. When he returned home, missing both legs, she had had his workshop in the garage remodeled to accommodate his wheelchair. As we talked, I suddenly was no longer worried about myself. I consider that man to be one of my greatest teachers.

They say that if you make it to Heaven that you "live" forever. I have trouble putting my brain around an eternal existence. What could that mean? Will there be plans and adventures? Will things go wrong? Will people fall in and out of love. Will there be animals? Will there be accidents? Will it be a theocracy? Why doesnt the Bible say what goes on there?

you believe for a fact with true intentions, and with faith & some kind of spiritual knowledge, you can meet a angel or Christ.

How about, if you go through the process of ascetism you think you can have a divine meeting with an angel?

I was told(by a recent convert from Pentecostal to LDS) that the Pentecostal church teaches it's members to stay away from Mormons...

Why?! Why do Pentecostals have such a problem with them?

Bismillah ar rahman ar rahim,
Alamdiullah ,I reverted to Islam last march and I tell you I have been in a complete state of peace. I don't understand why people assume Islam is a religion of danger. It is wonderful news that 20,000 women in America revert (convert) to Islam each year. InshAllah I hope more people in the West read the message of Allah and follow the true path of Allah before they insult Islam.
Salaam and Peace

1. In the book of Romans 3:28 the apostle Paul says that a man is not justified by the deeds (works or obeying) the law but by faith alone.
James 2:14,17-18, 20 says that faith without works is dead.
Can someone please explain the two different views.

2. Ro. 4:1-2 states that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness. But he didn't just believe what God said to him, he acted upon that. Is this not works to indicate that he believed what God said?

3. Ro. 4:20 says that Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith...
What would you consider him lying about his relationship with his wife as; or him giving in to her suggestion to sleep with Hagar to produce child as?

Why do we call Him God, and will we continue to call Him that when we discover His true name? This question came up as a result of studying Ps. 105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.



:1b ...call upon his name;... The original meaning of this phrase is call (Him) by His name, i.e, call Him by the name that describe His divine perfections, or more specifically, call him by His name Yahweh.



Our heavenly Father has a name, and God is not one of them.

Could you live your life single / alone without feeling the love of another human? Wouldn't it get unbearably lonely?

I *know* God's love should be enough, but anyone out there who has that only & is content without feeling love/affection from others (be it family or friends)?

SEX!








Ha you thought about it right? Just like saying don't think about a pink elephant? Well guess what? Sex = Lust. It says in the Bible that thinking about Lust is the same as doing it.

Guess what? You just sinned and are worthy hellfire =D In fact since every sin is the same, you have the same amount of Sin as Hitler right now.

So do I get satan points for causing people to sin or what?
Have a nice day =D

Every religion talks about their God and not for a moment talk about humans... This itself is a fallacy of religions that it is not focussed on humans but one somebody or something nobody knows if they or it exists.

What do you think will be the time when all humans become educated, aware and start living for themselves (humans)?

Ephesians 4:29 (Amplified Bible)

29Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it.



God hears the words you say when you gossip. He knows the harm you have done. One day God will ask, "Why did you say that?" God says in Matthew 12:36, "But I tell you that men will have to give an account . . . for every careless word they have spoken." Remember that, and you will not gossip.

I've had my nose pierced (right nostril) for several months now. I've had many comments about it, some positive, many of them negative. I just let the negatives slide and don't dwell on them...well, until yesterday...I went to church with my best friend, I really enjoyed the service until the preacher began making comments about people who wear baggy pants and have body piercings. He said people who do such things are 'angry in their hearts' and 'believe the world owes them something' therefore they get piercings as a way of 'expressing themselves'. I just had to shake my head at this. That does not describe me at all. I had my nose pierced for the same reason I got my ears pierced, I think nose piercings are cute. Simple as that. His comments made me a bit angry as well as hurt my feelings. I don't believe having a piercing makes me any less of a Christian. So my question is...where in the bible, if anywhere does it state that piercings are a sin?
