    What's the Best Scientific Evidence found in your Religion?

    Yoda, I disagree that religion demands blind faith that ignores logic. Newtons First law of motion: I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. So how do scientifically explain how the universe, our...

    The Koran like the Bible states a Non-Moving Earth.

    The Quran does NOT say the Earth is stationary. Yes it says the sun, moon and all celestial bodies swim in an orbit. And yes, it doesn't specifically say what the Earth does. But that's not saying the Earth is stationary. If I make a statement: "Germany and France are countries in Europe." Am...

    Jews are really Iraqees ?

    Abraham is going a long, long ways back. There is no historical record of Moses, Jesus or Muhammad either. It comes down to faith and using logic to accept or reject scriptures. As for Jews being Iraqi.. It doesn't matter. We all come from somewhere other than where we are now if you go back far...

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    Opinions on the scripture is fine. Random thoughts with no scriptural basis really doesn't belong in this debate. I think that's fair. What's your opinion on the verses I posted above?

    What is the afterlife in Islam like?

    Hey Yoda, I've never heard of the 3 questions. It's not in the Quran. It must be from Hadith. There is also no concept of purgatory or anything similar to it in the Quran. Although there is such a thing in Hadith I believe. Quran only says that after we die, we will be brought back to life with...

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    Bible Verses That Indicate Jesus Is*Not*God The Creator 1. Matthew 24:36 No one knows*about that day or hour, not even the Son, but the*Father only. Here Jesus makes a distinction between what he knows and what the Father knows.* 2. Matthew 26:39 My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    P.P.S. It doesn't say 5 times Salat in Quran. I told you in a previous post, 3 times are mentioned by name (Fajr, Wusta, Isha). But five is better than three. Six is better than five. I was just giving an example because most Muslims adhere to five a day.

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    We're just going in circles here so I'll stop after this post (for now). But I've never met one person in my entire life who opened up a Hadith book to learn how to pray Salat. And I've read the book from Sahih Muslim you put the link up for. It doesn't tell you step by step how to pray Salat...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    You keep bringing up the "you need Hadith to pray Salat" card. Can I ask you... Which Hadith did you read to learn how to pray Salat? Can you show me one Hadith that teaches you step by step how to pray Salat? Look for it. You won't find it. I learned how to pray just like you... From other...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    There are scholars of Catholicism too who have dedicated their life to the study of their religion and scriptures. It doesn't make them right. I'm not re-opening the "To Hadith or not to Hadith" debate. I'm just saying your logic is flawed in claiming "scholars of a particular sect or religion...

    Is the Qur'an an Inferior Copy of the Bible?

    I don't know what others believe. I know most "Submitters" (followers of Rashad Khalifa) believe he did write the Quran with his own hands. However, I think it's far more likely, in fact, almost certain, that Prophet Muhammad was unlettered and did not WRITE the Quran with his own hands. That's...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    I don't think following the Quran alone is an extreme conclusion at all. It's just a matter of how attached you are to the beliefs you were taught as a child. And for me, I didn't care what my community thought. I left my birth sect at an early age, much to my families disappointment (Sufi...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    Bro, I've seen and analyzed both sides of the argument. In the end, I trusted God and his book over all scholars. You can learn a lot by studying the history of the Jews and the Talmud. I'm not trying to sell anything, convert anyone or even have a debate. I've stated what I know. Now it's up to...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    Before we look to the Hadith, lets first see what Allah says in the Quran. Was there a need for Bukhari, Moslem, etc. to create a "supplementary" set of holy books? Should Hadith be considered part of Islam? Are we allowed to follow any other book? Did Quran need help to be completed? “The...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    Monotheist, I am somewhat familiar with the science of Hadith. I used to be a hard core Sunni for many years. Then I read the Quran with my own eyes. Before I get in to specifics. I ask you... Under who's authority did Bukhari, Moslem, etc compile the Hadith? Under Gods authority? No. They...

    Egyptian Salafi extremists kill 4 Shiites celebrating Imam Mahdi birthday…

    I never said all Hadith are invalid. I just said they're not part of Islam. I find wisdom in many sources, including country western songs. But I don't consider Garth Brooks lyric sheet to be part of Islam. As for Salat and how many Rakat to do etc, the details aren't important. If they were...

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    The "of" and "by" is the same in this case. It's only because King James is a poorly written, literal translation from the Greek in outdated English. Either way, God can not be tempted. God doesn't test himself. He's the creator. It's beneath him. And yes that's not my opinion. It's in the Bible.

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    It sounds to me like whoever rejects Jesus does not have the support of God. And whoever accepts Jesus has the support of God. I don't think this verse in any way proves that Jesus and God are the same. But then again I must have misunderstood you earlier or confused you with someone else. I...

    Is the Qur'an an Inferior Copy of the Bible?

    Actually it doesn't. It contains the gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. Oh and they weren't the actual authors either unless they lived to be about 120-150 years old. Of course there was also the Q Document but that no longer exists. So while there is truth and wisdom in the New Testament...
