Religion & Spirituality - 15 December 2007

Hi, i don't know what I am, still trying to find myself, but do some of you wish maybe there was an afterlife of some type? maybe just carry on the lives we had...nothing special....

i dont know i wish i had something to look forward too, but im not sure how I feel about the whole "christian" thing?

I dont understand "Free Will" in the bible. We have free will on earth so that is why we are not perfect. So when you die and go to heaven you become perfect.....so does that mean you lose you free will when you join God??? That is strange, I dont understand. Can someone shed light on this?

MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY:


Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.

If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after
Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will
fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.

However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh):


i)

Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention.

[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]

ii)
Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.

iii)
Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158)


Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).

We might as well let Christians in on this string! Would you go out and kill everyone? Would you cheat on your wife? Would you drink a lot and smoke a lot? By the way, my tongue is completely in my cheek. Feel free to answer anyway!

The Bible tells us about 144,000 people who will be in heaven with God during the last days.

Looking at Revelation 7:4-8 and Revelation 14:1 and 14:4, what will be some of their distinguishing features?

I will rate best answer to someone who reads the question and answers it according to the passages above.

i need to ask again, what do you take as literal in the bible? someone just asked why gays dont repent. do the wealthy need to become paupers? or is this a passage you choose to ignore, or try to twist its meaning, or call it allegory. the religous right should include the wealthy along with their gay bashing. its not fair to cherry pick the passages you like, and deny others.

Tolerance is not in the Bible.
God does not compromise.

Seems it's the evidence makes it "evident" that
no man is justified by the law in the sight of God

I dont know a whole lot about atheism, so I am wandering. Even though you dont have a religion, do you have a spiritual life? Are you spiritual? Do you believe in any form of life after death, or reincarnation, or are those thoughts just linked to religions? Is there such thing as a soul, in your opinion?

I ask with an open mind, not a judgmental one. I really want to know atheists views, I know religious views, so no need to tell me what you believe if you are in a religion.

*** I am posting this again, this time with new details, in the hopes that I may spread the faith to even more blasphemers!***

Everyone has their own religions. All of them are substantiated by SOME form of proof. Christians have the Bible, Jews have the Tanakh, Muslims have the Quaran, etc. Each of those books were written by prophets and average people that spoke to their supposed Gods. Well, the IPU (PBUHH)does something better for me. She is kind, she spoke to ME personally in a dream and converted me, and there are numerous texts confirming her existence. She also has a strong affinity her stealing/hiding socks -- a playful way for her to show her affection for us. Has a sock of yours ever gone missing? That right there is proof that she loves you.

The religion is founded on both LOGIC and FAITH. We IPU believers LOGICALLY know that she must be invisible, as no one has seen her, yet we have FAITH that she is pink.

So.... Why am I criticized?
