Well I am fasting on Hajj day as its big ajar

Please read the below:

The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah (the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar) is the day of 'Arafah. It is the day when pilgrims stand on the plain of 'Arafah to pray.

On this day, Muslims all over the world who do not witness the annual hajj should spend the day in fasting, in preparation for the three days festivity following 'Eid ul-Adha (the celebration marking the end of the hajj commemorating the Prophet Ibrâhîm's willingness of sacrifice).

Abû Hafsah, may Allâh be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said:

"Fasting on the day of 'Arafah absolves the sins for two years: the previous year and the coming year, and fasting on 'ashûra, (the tenth day of Muharram) atones for the sins of previous years." [Reported by all except al-Bukhârî and Tirmidhî]

I guess I am a little ignorant on the subject, but didn't Adam and Eve only have 3 kids? How did her sons marry off if there was no one else on the Earth? Is there something in the bible that says how that was possible, and I just overlooked it?

She's the best mom in the world and she's starting chemotherapy for ovarian cancer again today. She needs prayer for healing, permanent remission, strength and faith. Thank you very much for a few moments of your precious time. Be blessed!!

Do you think we should try to help those lost along the way?
Brothers and Sisters I think you will get a blessing out of this one. I love the way it shows just how crafty satan is. I feel as long as we try to give people good information about God and Salvation, by grace through faith, that they can't stand on judgement day and accuse us on not trying to tell them. Do You?

the willingness to die for or willingness to give up your place in heaven for someone you love,
think about it
jesus died on the cross for our sins,
what if to get into heaven all you needed was to love someone as much as jesus loves all of us, but love someone enough to put yourself on a cross for them, love someone enough to take their place in hell
doesn't even have to be a person, could be love for an animal,
i dunno
yeah yeah yeah i know what the bible says, but the biggest problem with that is that the bible was written and rewritten and rewritten by humans, humans which are free to reinterprete their beliefs into what they write

Okay, so a human has a hearing range between 20-20k Hz. A dog has a hearing range between 40-60k Hz. Obviously dogs can hear pitches we cannot. Dogs cannot distinguish between red, orange, yellow or green. Humans can differentiate between all of those colors. Dogs can see various shades of blue that we cannot and can differentiate between closely related shades of gray that are not distinguishable to people. Is it possible, I'm going out on a limb here, that maybe our senses and intellect are not highly evolved enough to detect the presence of a God/Gods? I'm Agnostic, so I'm keeping my mind open...

Those who believe in a pretribulation rapture think that when times really get hard, Jesus will spirit away Christians, saving them from the suffering of the end of the age.

But Jesus never suggested Christians would be spared suffering; indeed he described events like these in Luke 21:16-18: "You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life." Jesus said to take up the cross--the instrument of cruel execution--and follow him.

For the history of the theological invention of the rapture, see http://www.askelm.com/doctrine/d760201.htm

What does that tell you about intelligence and survival? According to Christians, we are not only superior to animals (read the Bible), we are not EVEN animals (read the Bible).

With all the evidence provided it is without a doubt that evolution is a proved fact. We have an excellent unbroken fossil record which fundies refuse to see. Our DNA records are much more than compelling but still fundies bow their heads in denial. When micro evolution is actually observed it is ignored by fundies. Why? With all the evidence they know that evolution is a fact they just refuse to admit in fear of losing their little piece of la la fairy land of eternity. They still want to continue living safely in a square world with a guardian angel on all four corners.

When will we see whole hospitals emptied of incurables, seas parted, storms calmed, food multiplied, demons cast out, and the greatest of all, the glory of the Lord being manifested in His people as normal Christianity?

This is my prayer for all sold out followers of Jesus Christ.

Ever notice if a question is asked about the Environment or Animal Rights how many "good Christian folks" scoff at it?

Why are there fewer Environmentalists in the Religion Right than in the Liberal Left? It seems Christians believe "all this" is here for their disposal and there is no moral need to preserve it or protect it. They make fun of Environmentalists and also Animal Rights activists like PETA.

I'm just wondering WWJD?

I'm not saying ALL Atheists are environmentalists or are animal friendly. After all, the only common thread among Atheists is a belief there is no god. But, I personally know many Atheists who feel compelled to protect earth for future generations. Yet with the Christians...it seems the more religious they are, the less responsible they feel for earth and animals.

Your thoughts?
