    The dishonest use of the name "Christian"

    It's called avant-garde music, Alceste. The one in the front on the right can play in any damn key she wants, and you can't stop her.

    Prophet Muhammad and Christian Community

    Strange how the words of Muhammad and the words of the Qur'an are ignored so often by the very people who pledge allegiance to them. How can such tolerance be twisted right around? Seems a lot like the words of Jesus and the words of the Bible to me, actually.

    I don't think the Apostles had much authority...

    Of course. Imperfect men preach to imperfect men. They preach the perfect message, but since a man cannot be perfect, they can only preach it imperfectly. Yes, they could be better, but who's to say that they weren't the best available at that time and place?

    The dishonest use of the name "Christian"

    You still haven't demonstrated that the earliest Christians worshipped Jesus as God.

    The Hanifs of Pre-Islamic Arabia

    His name was Musaylimah. He's got a Wikipedia article, too! Musaylimah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I don't think the Apostles had much authority...

    No, you're right, you're right. We can't know why this is, but we have to make the best of it and it's imperative that we remember that we're students, too. Students learning from students. What we have from the Apostles is the memory. What we do with it is now up to us. Now that we have been...

    I don't think the Apostles had much authority...

    I wouldn't say that they're the "ultimate pillars of truth". That title belongs to Christ only. However, the Apostles did have the best first-hand experience of Jesus' teachings. You can sit on RF all day trying to debate their interpretations, but you can't deny that they had the absolute best...

    The dishonest use of the name "Christian"

    King would be in for a big surprise if he found out about the true diversity of beliefs within early Christianity.

    What is a "Christian"!?

    Jesus had many teachings. That was just one of them. There's a reason we have four canonical Gospels, and not one canonical Sentence.

    What kind of pantheist are you?

    No. But only because there is no "me" to begin with; the distinction between "me" and "everything else" is entirely artificial. I'm a series of ill-defined chemical reactions called Bob Dixon, but it wasn't always so, and at one point it'll cease to be so. For the Universe, there's no such thing...

    What kind of pantheist are you?

    Monistic/Theistic There is one substance, and that is God.

    Why Believe in Hell?

    Thanks, Bruce! I appreciate it. No, the problem with Hell is that there's no evidence of it in our lives, and there's no real evidence of it in the Bible, either.

    Can I convert to your religion without believing in its miracles?

    Well, there've been Christians since the beginning who didn't believe in a literal resurrection. Basically any Christian views you can come up with (well, not ANY, but a lot of them) were around in the early days, before an orthodoxy was established.

    Why Believe in Hell?

    I'm requesting a quote! Post! Are there any justifications for the temporariness of Hell that reference other religious texts (as the Baha'is often do), too?

    Use of info for examples of evolutionary man..

    Maybe you should take a class on this. I'm not joking around with you, or being funny or anything like that. I think a class on evolutionary biology could explain everything for you.

    Did Buddhism not hijack these things from Hinduism?
