And why?

I dont' mean the breathing or posture Yoga. These are the processes how to love and serve God (also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc.) with devotion. (recommended by Him)

As Islam cannot change:

Bukhari:V9B88N174 I heard the Prophet saying, ‘Islam cannot change!'

And as Muhammad (MHRIH) was the model for mortal behavior:

Qur'an 33:21 Verily in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example for him who looks unto Allah and the Last Day.
Ishaq:467 Allah addressed the believers and said, ‘In Allah's Apostle you have a fine example for anyone who hopes to be in the place where Allah is.'

BukhariV7B63N1891 Indeed in the Apostle of Allah you have a good example to follow.

Bukhari:V9B92N384 Allah's Apostle said, ‘Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me will not enter it.'

So therefore what was good in Muhammad’s (MHRIH) day, what the “prophet” (MHRIH) did, is good today – according to Islam – I’m curious…

What do you think of the fact that Muhammad (MHRIH) married a six year old girl, and slept with her when she was nine years old?

You know some people get that feeling and think it's Deja Vous. It's just a feeling like a spiritual hug. I don't know quite how to describe it. Used to get that feeling when I was just wondering if God was really there (before I got saved) ever had that feeling or is just me?

...than obviously being a non christian that would mean i'd be automatically in hell yes?
is there a way I can skip the judgement part, because that just seems very long considering the amount of people he has to go through judging and than theres the entire longness of being judged... is there any way I can skip it and just go straight to the pit?
(btw I know this sounds like a mick take but im genuinly interested)

Have any Christians told you to "accept Jesus and you will goto heaven" ?

If so, then know that their claim is a boastful statement based on arrogance and the belief that faith alone will save them.

When they say they are guaranteed Paradise by faith then they have negated the value of the Mercy of God by not acknowledging that the final decision rests upon GOD and he will judge based on HIS criterion which may include the fruits of faith.

Therefore, there is no guarantee for Paradise based on anyones faith alone and nobody can be proud of their status based on faith.

If anyone tells you that if you bring faith into your life you will be guaranteed Paradise then know that they are boasting about something that is not in their control.

Didn't Jesus know the difference between dead and sleep?Did someone put that in to clarify what was really happening. The one exception was Lazarus. That one is usually considered to be a tall tale.

They use the court systems to further their advantage but they don't participate in politics (well, except for the United Nations, undercover, that is).

They won't go to war but claim privilege and holiness because of being persecuted for freedoms they won't defend but fought hard for by others?

Lets say this person is as follows:
1. Has a strong belief in 1 God
2. Belief in his son-Jesus who died on the cross for humanities sins
3. Believes in Astral Projection/reincarnation/spirit guides (biblical passages to prove his/her point)
4. uses tarot or believes tarot is a good way of putting things in perspective
5. Leads a good wholesome life, good mother/father, free from drugs/alcohol, healthy diet, giving to people and charities, nonjudgmental, caring and loving of all peoples he/she encounters. All in all an amazing person

Christian or not? and would you respect the persons beliefs or not? Looking for honest answers but prefer to limit hostility, I'm just curious. Thank you.

Today I just found out that one of my friends on her way to England tried to assault and kill her companions...mother, father friends etc...She whom Jesus was the air she breathe, the essence of her life...she just gone mad...she's back here now...She shouted during the assault that "she is God and she was sent to England to purify it". I should know that it's just one of his mysterious ways...but why ? why one such as her ?

Having just wandered in today, I find R&S one of the most interesting places on Answers. I realize that having to dodge pirates probably doesn't happen every day, but aside from that, are my first impressions correct?
- the most predominant voices here are pretty much equally divided between Christians and atheists.
- About half of the Christians are arguing with each other about who's right, saved/not saved, a real Christian, etc.
- The Catholics are pretty much the most reasonable Christians, as a group. At least they're not into slamming everybody else.
- The pagans are pretty cool, for the most part, and seem to be the least likely to slam anybody.
- The atheists here like to goad fundamentalists just to get a reaction.
- If you're easily hurt or offended, this probably isn't the best place to be.

So do I have it, pretty much? I'd love to hang out here, just want to make sure I have the lay of the land. Um -- arrrrr.

Why is it, when someone asks a question, if you don't like it why do you report it? Why can't you give it a thumbs down and move on? Someone asked a question that The Virgin Mary did not consent. What's the problem with it? No one is asking you to agree with what another person thinks. They're just looking for opinions.

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?---Martin Luther (Germany)

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

“I hope I shall never be so stupid as to be circumcised; I would rather cut off the left breast of my Catherine and of all women.” --- Martin Luther

“If we are to remain unsullied by the blasphemy of the Jews and not wish to take part in it, we must be separated from them and they must be driven out of the country.” – Martin Luther

Jesus did not call them Abraham's children, but a "brood of vipers" [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, "He has a demon' [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: "If you were Abraham's children ye would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.------Martin Luther

Learn from this, dear Christian, what you are doing if you permit the blind Jews to mislead you. Then the saying will truly apply, "When a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit" [cf. Luke 6:39]. You cannot learn anything from them except how to misunderstand the divine commandments...------Martin Luther

St. John Chrysostom: “I know that many people hold a high regard for the Jews and consider their way of life worthy of respect at the present time... This is why I am hurrying to pull up this fatal notion by the roots ... A place where a whore stands on display is a whorehouse. What is more, the synagogue is not only a whorehouse and a theater; it is also a den of thieves and a haunt of wild animals ... not the cave of a wild animal merely, but of an unclean wild animal ... When animals are unfit for work, they are marked for slaughter, and this is the very thing which the Jews have experienced. By making themselves unfit for work, they have become ready for slaughter. This is why Christ said: “as for my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me’ (Luke 19.27).”

“I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power – Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church, without a Pope and without the bible, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his blessing.” (Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg. 369.)

"I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler, who built a front line of defense against the anti-Christ of Communism." — Frank Buchman (1878-1961), U.S. evangelist, 1936

I thought our bodies were temples of the Holy Spirit and subject to only loving our neighbor as yourself.

Why do people insist on bringing people "into a religion" when the greek word for church, being ekklesia, means "called out"?

Is life after death just wishful thinking?

Is it a mercy that after death they will not have the disappointment of knowing they wasted their only life?
