The Christian practices that were adopted under Paul included the following: the Roman sun-day as the Christian Sabbath; the traditional birthday of the Sun-god as the birthday of Jesus; the emblem of the sun-god (the cross of light) to be the emblem of Christians; and, the incorporation of all the ceremonies which were performed at the Sun-god’s birthday celebrations. Some of the days of the week are called after Norse Gods.
Sunday – Sun Day (sun god), Monday – Moon Day (moon god), Wednesday - Wodin (or Odin),
Thursday – Thor, Friday - Friea
As I come to a close concerning the position of Christ, I would like to ask my Christian reader bow down and pray earnestly to God and ask Him to invoke His curse on you, your wife, your sons, and your daughters if what you believe about Christ (Christ is God, Son of God or part of a trinity of God) are false. Likewise, I have learned that if you asked a Muslim to earnestly pray to God to invoke His curse on him, his wife, his sons, and his d

Why would we "invoke" a curse?
I've read several of your "trinity" statements.
I know you are trying to do a good thing.
You are missing some important points though.
God has shown Himself to mankind in three ways.
There is only one true God. (who is not miserable)
He sent His Son, (who is not a prophet)
Christ, by His death, established a new covenant with mankind, redeeming our sins, once and for all.
Those who believe and accept this, repenting of their sins, are accepted and adopted as children of God.
They are consider children of the promise with Abraham.
As heirs to the kingdom, they are sealed into this new covenant by God's Holy Spirit. This is God's Spirit living within them. God's laws are written upon their hearts and minds. They enter into a intimate and dynamic relationship with the living God. They are new creations, "born again".
These three ways God has revealed Himself to us are the core tenets of Christianity. There is debate if we should consider them three separate persons, or consider them all as parts of God as we know him. Either view is consider the Trinity.
All the other Christian practices you mentioned are regarded as small issues compared to knowing and loving our living God. The ceremonies, doctrines, traditions are just not as important (well, to some they are). So as you come to a close.. think about who Christ is, and what He has done. He is the way, and the truth, and life. Consider entering into this covenant, with the joy and peace of being with our living God everyday.

You seem to forget that Mohammed recognized Jesus Christ as a great prophet, and that outside of Christians, only Muslims give the Blessed Virgin Mary any respect at all.
What the days of the week are named has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, you dolt.
And if your god is all about cursing, I want no part of him. Then again, according to your beliefs, kill a Christian, get 70 virgins in Paradise. Yeah, that's a real nifty and worthy of worship god, all right.

Adopted under Paul? Before you go off half ******, try reading a little bit of history to find out how things truly happened.
Curses? Yeah, that's typical for a muslim I guess.
Christians pray for blessings on people, muslims ask for curses on them.
Easy to see which teaches love.

You need to be concerned about yourself and stop trying to convert Christians. I know that I am forgiven.
You should learn the truth about God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and obey the gospel. That is the only way to heaven.

Oh gosh, I can't believe it. The re-incarnation of allah was quickly pumped with over 9 bullets and put down by a little boy (Jamison Stone).

BillyBoy, I would really like to know where you go that bit of info about sex during Ramadan. Could you send me a trusted website or maybe a quote from the Quran? It doesn't sound all that out of place considering the other strange things that are often kept hidden from the public about Islam.

I'm rubber, you're glue, bounce off me, and stick to you. Even IF this was true, why would someone want to curse their own family? God has said out of His own mouth, "Touch NOT Mine Anointed"

Well about that.Allah says to kill the "infidel" and many of the extremeists in your religion belive that they are allowed to kill those who dont believe in allah.Also historians say muhammad most likely had epileptic seizures, not "holy visions"
