i mean to say that why do the unmuslims (hindos) worship the stone idols. they think that these idols have created them but what kind of creater they are becouse they by themself can not move cannt talk cannt hear cannt see and can not do anything so how can they create humans. But this is true that the humans have created them and im thinking about those fools who creates the stone idols and say that the idols have created them and they worship those stones.

What does this statement mean to you as a Bible reader ? Just curious, in my daily devotions I often come across things I like put into modern language so I come here and ask. and of course with reference to the Holy Bible the Christians use.

Genesis 1:26 of the Holy Bible, King James Version, states: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” Please note “us” and “our”, meaning God is plural. There are more than one person in God.

Genesis 1:27 states: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Please note that here, God is singular – “his” and “he”. Initially, God created he (man) in His image. Next, God created them as male and female. Initially, God seemed to have created man to be a spirit like Him, like His image. Next, God created this spirit to dwell in physical bodies which are male and female.

Then God blessed them. Genesis 1:28 states: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the ear, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

I consider myself a Christian and was brought up to believe in God. But I have no wish whatsover to live for ETERNITY anywhere no matter how heavenly it may be. So does that make me unchristian..can you pick and choose.

I recently finished the God Delusion and found the man treated his supposed target audience (people who are not athiests) would utter contempt and seemed to delight in rediculing them at every turn. Didn't really make for a challenging book, which is sad because some of the arguements were very well laid out. It becomes pretty clear why people consider him a fundamentalist. Anyway, I'd just like to know if all of his books are written this angrily or just the God Delusion?

There is such a thing as Past Life Regression, people are mentally transported back to a previous existence.

When you die you either go to Heaven or Hell, so if we have already died - where are we?

Do you think this is Heaven? Or is it Hell?

This maybe a little difficult to understand and embarassing for me, but I have trouble reading Arabic in the Holy Qu'ran. I can't read it because of............

many reasons. My mother can read but cannot teach me, and my dad doesn't even pray. And I grew up in many countries in Europe and East Asia and couldn't really find people to actually teach me. And even if I did, I didn't like them.

I pray based on the verses I memorized taught by my mother.

I fast during Ramadan when situations are best, such that I can do my work effectively, especially considering I do not get any holidays or incentives in a non Muslim majority country. My life is fast and at times hectic.

Does that make me a good Muslim? Or a Muslim by definition?

I am not talking about stalking infatuations, though they are fine for the people that are into it. I am talking about knowing as much or more about what makes some of these folks people tick as you do about people you work with every day.

I read q and a here that both sides seem to be belligerent. Atheists attack Christians for believing in God and Christian attack atheists for non-belief. Then each feel they have to defend themselves. Can we have a discussion and not disparage the other?

ok God.Jesus Christ. the holy spirit. if you look at it how can a women get pregnet with out sperm or any kind of sexual intercourse. Jesus christ,in the bible does it really say he came back after three days from dead. I dont get influencd easilt but i saw Zeitgeist a Documentary about christianity. it talks about horus the egyption "son of god", has the same exact story of jesus christ. its unbelievable. but horus came 1st. its a movie explaining how god is the SUN and people just made up religion based on the sun because the sun is the most powerful thing in the universe. supposly.Now my family is very religious and i understand how important it is to respect some one who does and does not beliefe in god.but if you check out the documentary it kind of make senses how poeople are believing less and less in god.Maybe were smarter and have better thinkin.My grandma who is old tells me how the cathlic church would scare them into believing in god.God loves us why would he sent us 2 hell

Read this verse alone, and tell me what you understand:
[107:4] And woe to those who observe the contact prayers (Salat)

Then, I want you to read the same verse, with the following ones. And tell me what you understand.
[107:4] And woe to those who observe the contact prayers (Salat)
[107:5] who are totally heedless of their prayers.
[107:6] They only show off.
[107:7] And they forbid charity.

I'm gay but I was baptised a Christian about a month ago. The problem now is that I've started masturbating and the pleasure and feeling of orgasm is so good I am doing it few times each week. I also have desires to see my good looking athlete male friends naked and peeked at a few friends showering on a few occasions.
It is very difficult because I'm also a Christian and God has commanded me a life of holiness. I think my heart has been so hardened I've no remorse for these sins.
I feel so frustrated, depressed and angry as I feel like a failure. Man I'm so screwed. People treat me like an outcast. My church doesn't know I'm gay except one person there. I'm also afraid of athletic guys and I find it difficult to relate to them.

PS: Please, no condemnations or anything. I really need help. I feel ostracised by society and few of my Christian friends knew my secret.
