When I asked this question, MORE people said Christians believe Jesus is God in some kind of weird (sounds like a made up theory kind of way)… okay

When I asked this question, people said Jesus did worship God..
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20071220194649AATXzHI


So here is my question by what the Christians believe:

So if Jesus is God, and Jesus worshiped God, then how did Jesus worshiped himself?

That makes no sense…

I believe this is a HUGE flaw in Christianity . It is also one of the main things that separates Christianity from other religions such as Islam.


But then again, many of you will say at there are many different types of believes in the Christian religion. I believe this is another fault. it seems to me like there was an original Christian religion, but it was changed up by humans so many times that different types of Christians even have their own bible, which leads me to believe that their “bible” was changed by humans to satisfy that type of Christians random belief.

And the “son of God” thing… God doesn’t have any parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, or sons. God is not even human, so how will he have a son. God isn’t even a gender. It really seems like the idea that God has a gender was made up when the Christian religion was broken up into its many different types of Christians, and then people started making up their own theories of how Mary had a child.

As for me, I think of Mary having a child when she was a virgin as a miracle to show how powerful God is, but then when the Christians saw this, she was accused of having a child without being married, then the Christians didn’t belive in miracles (back then!) . The Christians thought there HAD to be an explanation for it. They obviously didn’t beliven miracles, and thought that there is some logical explanation. So they made up their own theory that .. Oh sure, “God got Mary pregnant, there for, Jesus is the son of God“? Its funny how they didn’t also make up that Mary is the wife of God, they might as well have…
But because Mary is the mother of Jesus, it surprises me that you also didn’t make up that Mary is the wife of God. So why didn’t you do that? I guess you didn’t’ think of it at the time…

There's something sinister about the way they stop by my yard so often and act "friendly" when the kids are out playing. One of them looks just like Deepack Chopra with his devious look--gives me the willies!

The religious leaders of Islam issue somany FATWAS ( RULES TO BE FOLLOWED BY MUSLIMS) . But they don't issue anu Fatwa against Terrorism> Does Islam support Terrorism?
UNO and it's member countries should stop all benifits to non-secular , non-democratic countries.

Islamic state is double standard> when MF Hussein paints nude pictures of Hindu goddesses , then it is art and secularism and freedom of expression> Painting nude pictures of family ladies is wrong but Hindu Goddesses painting is accepted> It is like killing is wrong , but killing Hindu saints is secularism and freedom.

Thanks to the blizzard and 3 feet of snow, my family won't be able to get together--however, the blizzard left a few people stranded in our little hick town here, so now I have a schoolteacher who lives couple hours away crashing on my sofa tonight--I don't actually know the guy, but my brother kinda does, and there is no room at the inn--all the hotels and motels are booked solid--and there ain't no merry christmas at the gas station he was stuck at

Can you prove that the one true God (variously known as Yaway, Allah, and by other names) does NOT exist? Please no misleading answers asserting that "you can't prove a negative" and such. Use your own imagination and you will find that it is not so.

Could they be pretending to be true Christians but are actually serving Satan (whether they are aware of it or not)?

should that be legally acceptable, and admirable?

If one of your neighbours' children disobeyed his father, what would you say if he knowingly, gave a severe punishment to the other one?

I find it abhorrent, but I do not know about you.

Mine takes it on the first day of the week, like the Early Christians did

Acts 20:7, "Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread"

Pliny the Younger:
"..they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god...it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food—but ordinary and innocent food "

Justin the Martyr
"...On the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place...bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings...Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the day Jesus arose from the dead.."

Greetings to all those of the Islamic faith who live in N. America. You have endured much negativity and hatred over the last few years. I offer the hand of friendship and acceptance and reject all bigotry and ignorance.

Stand firm in your faith. As a prson "grounded" in Christianity I offer thanks to Islam for their wisdom, tolerance and scholarship.

Just a small greeting in a world so often filled with hatred and violence.

If you want to add your greeting please do so. Please do not use this invitation as an excuse for bigotry or negativity.

This is a concept which I was introduced to some 12 years ago, thought the name of the person who came up with it escapes me all I can remember is that it was an Italian a few hundred tears ago.

The details are on my 360 blog page

Also any intelligent feed back will be welcome.

I have been studying the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. While reading several books along with the bible. Last night I picked up the bible and was reading in Mark. I read the part where the Roman soldier told Pilate that Jesus was dead. I felt such a sense of grief come over me. How should one feel about the death of Jesus? Should we feel sadness for his being killed? Should we rejoice for his giving his life to pay for our sins? Should we feel both? Any thoughts or answers to this question would be helpful. Thank You.

Do you believe in Intelligent Design? If not please explain why WITHOUT giving any references to any religious teaches whatsoever. For example, do not say, "I don't believe in Intelligent Design because I don't believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster," because you're using a satire to disrespect religious people views of God and therefore giving references to religious teaches. Please don't do it.

I’m an Agnostic that believes in Intelligent Design.

That Jesus rose into the sky and became a god?

-- As for those two guys, dressed in white, sitting in the park, who said "Ye men of Gallilee...":

I'm thinking they were cronies of Jesus' uncle. They were sitting there waiting for Jesus' followers to arrive at the pre-arranged meeting in the park.

Then they announced: "You're late -- he's already ascended."

Hey, a group of goofy followers craning their necks to get last glimpses of Jesus floating up up and away does not constitute evidence, okay?

All I'm asking for is one piece of hard evidence.

And I thank you in advance..

You might find this question silly, but it's really bothering me. I got many Kurbans from my family and neighbours and I respect that. I know that Kurban meat that someone gave you is to be eaten and not to be thrown away or passed on to someone else (at least that's what I've heard), but I was wondering what does one do with the bones?

I said this will sound silly, but I don't want to do something that the people who gave me that meat might find offensive.

Help please! And I'd really like it if I could hear it from Muslims only. Thanks.
