It says in the good book that Christ came that we may have life and live it more abundant?

So would he be against me desiring the finer things in life? I desire these things but never before the lord!!

Is the act of shaving a newborn baby's head rooted in Islam? What is the purpose of doing this, and is it referenced in the Qurran?

Do you have to be a good person to go to heaven? I was with my friends in the mall and a man stopped us and asked us why we would go to heaven. I said that I thought I was a good person. It is a given that I was a Christian, so doesn't being a good person have anything to do with it? Or do you just have to believe in Jesus Christ as your savior? I am a Catholic by the way. =)

I was advised to present to the light of our Lord my problem with transvestism and went for healing to my Catholic church. Since then I have discovered secular discord and no real help.

Its part of my heritage I guess to be militant. My direct ancestors on my dad's side fought in the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War (both sides), World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam War (my uncle was a helicopter pilot there and got shot in the head. Amazingly the helmet stopped the bullet). I tried getting in the Army, Navy and Marines so I could go to Iraq (particularly after England was bombed) but I am legally blind so they rejected me. My 4th great grandpa on my mom's side, Little Crow, had a war against the US and was murdered and then brutally skinned and cut apart in the city square..... So I have a militant spirit I guess

Can't I like demand to be deported or something? I renounced my pledge of allegience and so I would rather move to another country before I fully take up arms against the country. I'd like to go to Austria I think. But point to any country on the map besides the US and I'd gladly move there.

Do you think perhaps all this scoffing and speculating is a luxury people of faith paid for with their hard work and prayers?

Is this valuable advice or is it just non-sense?

whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well spoken of, whatever virtue there is and whatever praiseworthy thing there is, continue considering these things.

Again, answer honesty, strictly spiritual question.

Would you consider this good advice to live by? Explain.
How would you apply this to your daily life?
How does this affect you as a person?
How do you think people who do practice such consideration behave?
What are some of the things we should consider, that you could bring to our attention?

the source being God, can darkness be "bad" or just another form of polarity we are to experience while here on earth?

In the book of Daniel it tells us that a beast will seek to change the feast days and the laws. I was just wondering how close Islam and Judaism are. Thanks.

Why do you think we have to have a purpose in life? I was answering a question like many others on this forum "what is our purpose in life?" and I happened to glance over at my dog.

Now he's a good dog, and I indeed have a purpose for him: he's our "first alert" alarm system (woe be unto any bird who poops within 2 blocks, they will hear his wrath for minutes), he's a good companion and eater of table scraps. I know from experience that any stranger who comes onto his marked territory is subject to his bared teeth, especially if his girls (my daughters) are nearby.

But HE doesn't have a purpose, he just goes along and is a dog. He does doggy things. Why do we have to know our purpose but animals don't? What sets us apart?

It seems free will is what Christians use as an excuse for people staying out of heaven - the hell bound choose not to accept Jesus so he wont take you cause it would be a violation of your free will if he did.
Why wouldn't he just exercise the same Godly rights in our death as he does in our birth and take us all home?

Since Christmas is widely celebrated by people as a non-religious holiday anyhow, perhaps it ought to be renamed to include the secular celebration of family, friends and culture, Kwanzaa.

I recommend we adopt a new word, "Kwistmas," since it has a rather fun sound to it. LOL

What are your ideas ?

I watched Yvonne Ridley's interview on YOUTUBE . In which she states she was married to an Muslim for about 4 years , had a daughter from him , But did not convert to islam......
Later on when she studied the Quran for about 30 months . She realised that it was form GOD.
And she reverted to ISLAM.


In the video of CAT STEVENSON ,,
He said that he read the chapter of JOSEPH and realised that the QURAN is not the word of man.

When he reverted to ISLAM he was at the peak of his career. He left it all when he realised the TRUTH.

Is the TRUTH so evident in the QURAN.
And if it is so evident ....... Why dont the people read it and acknowledge it to be from the ONE GOD who created everything and change their lives. Why people have to believe in the Religion they are born in.

Read it, assess it ,
To accept it or reject it is your decision.

Mattew says that Wise Men (upper class) came to worship Jesus. Luke says that Shepherds (lower class) came to worship Jesus.
