All right. Why do we Christians seem to think that we will go to hell if we commit suicide. I understand it is murder, but still. If God forgives all sins, no matter what they are, why would we go to hell because of that? I'm just wondering. It's been bothering me for a while.

I’m thinking of visiting various parts of the Middle East, and, should the climate of Medina not agree with me, I think I should be prepared, and have some trusty camel urine ready as a cure (in keeping with the directives of the Prophet of Allah [PBUH]). So, where do I find camel urine? Thanks so much!

Bukhari:V7B71N590 "The climate of Medina did not suit some people so the Prophet ordered them to drink camel urine as a medicine."

In the past 100 years more than 100 million people died in bloody wars, not to mention those who died of starvation.
Where was God? Watching football?
If God is inside us then how come that we kill each other? Aren't we killing God as well?
And I thought that God was invincible.
Silly ignorant me.

Seriously I got through Genesis and I have like 30 questions just from that. This is my second time to read and heck I have more questions that I probably did in the first reading.
I am not trying to mock anyone's beliefs but I don't understand how anyone could believe all that is written.
Those who believe do you ever have those seemingly silly questions like:
1) Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?
2) Why wasn't Cain's fruit as good as Abel's flock in God's eyes?
3) Where did Cain and Abel get thier wives?
4) Why did God regret his decision to create man if he knew that later on man would disappoint god anyway.
5) The Great Flood was considered a fresh start for man, yet Original sin stuck?
I really could go on and on...

They seem like silly questions but they are questions that deserve answers to right?

...so why aren't there more atheists in the world. If everything can be explained by science for a long time now, wouldn't religion die with each discovery made? Wouldn't the institution of the church die with each discovery too? Why hasn't atheism given people the answers that they are searching for.

IF YOU ARE ONLY STILL MARRIED, PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. How has your understanding of the wird LOVE changed since your wedding day?

2. What meaning of the word LOVE is the love most important in your marriage? Please explain.

3. Catholic theology says that true married love is based on each parner's free-will decision to work for the good of the other and for good of the marriage. What do you thinkk of that? Can you give an example?

4. On your wedding day you have an idea that if things did not work out you could split?

5. Catholic theology says that marriage is a voocation, a calling from G-d. What do you think of that? Please give an example.

6. Contemporary Catholic theology now emphasizes that marriage is less like a "legal contact" and more like "G-d's covenant with humanity" in which G-d promised permanent love. How does that fit with your marriage? Give an example.

Ever seen Brad Pitt's film "Seven years in Tibet"? Those monks insisted on saving the lives of every worm in the ground before agreeing to construct a movie theater. They are spiritual to the core, and have a moral code second to none. Jesus, if he's a man of honor, would be, SHOULD be astounded at their compassion for life.

Why on earth would they be condemned to roast on Satan's BBQ for eternity for exemplifying about the most wonderful qualities any human could hope to possibly live by. Their only "crime" is carrying on thousands of years of tradition -- a non Judeo-Christian tradition of love.

Don't they realize that Thanksgiving belongs to the pilgrims and their direct descendants and that anybody else who celebrates it is a hippo-crat (or hypocrite, for the spelling Nazis)?

Also, what are your religious views on holiday-stealing?

I am a preacher and a prophet myself. I personally believe that mediums ,
witches and psychics were called to be prophets, but most simply have the gift and no power. The bible says I give all gifts and positions without repentence . So we clearly have a choice to use our giftings for good or evil and god will judge us accordingly .Some psychics are actually saved .They have just chosen to exploit their gift for money. Give me your opinion ?

When several dead people got out of their graves and waked into town, pointing at themselves and each other (as told in Matthew 27:53), what were they thinking, and what were their motives?
Bonus question: Did they later get back in their graves -- or, as some church folks claim, did they ascend unto Heaven with Jesus?

Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him) , and await his second coming. They consider him one of the greatest of God’s messengers to mankind. A Muslim never refers to him simply as `Jesus', but always adds the phrase "peace be upon him." The Qur’aan confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur’aan is entitled `Mary') in her time, and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. The Qur’aan describes the creation of Jesus as follows (interpretation of the meaning): "Behold! the Angel said, `God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you glad tidings of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one that shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.' She said: `O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: `Even so; God creates what He wills. When He decrees a thing, He but says to it, "Be!" and it is." (Qur’aan, Surat (chapter) Aala ‘Imraan, 3:42-7) Jesus (peace be upon him) was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam (peace be upon him) into being without a father: "Truly, the likeness of Jesus unto Allaah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, `Be!' and he was." (3:59) During his prophetic mission, Jesus (peace be upon him) was granted and performed many miracles. The Qur’aan tells us that he said (interpretation of meaning): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by Allaah’s leave. And I heal the blind and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allaah’s leave." (3:49) Other miracles include speaking soon after birth in defense of his mother's piety. God's other gifts to him included healing the blind and the sick, reviving the dead, and, most importantly, the message he was carrying. These miracles were granted to him by God to establish him as a prophet. According to the Qur’aan, he was not crucified, but only appeared so; instead, Allaah raised him unto Heaven. (Quraan, Chapter Maryam) Neither Muhammad (peace be upon him), nor Jesus (peace be upon him), came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Quran Jesus (peace be upon him), is reported as saying that he came: " To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign form your Lord, so fear God and obey me." (3:50)
