This is another discussion mainly for Theists.
Many Christians and Jews are expecting the advent of another great religious leader. The expectations within Judaism relate to their sacred texts, for example a book in the Tanakh called Isaiah. For some Christians the question is framed around the...
This question is mainly for adherents of a Theistic religion. Can theological difference between the Gospels and the Qur'an be resolved?
Let's consider the Surah of Maryam or the 12th chapter of the Qur'an titled Mary. We have the story of Mary and her relationship with God as she is informed...

I've already filled out the form on their website, where I've picked 10 songs that I...
This thread is simple. This is about the promise of Christ Return.
From a Baha'i point of view this event has happened and was Fulfilled in the Messages of the Bab ("Gate") and Baha'u'llah ("Glory of God", or "Glory of the Lord").
As many await this event, both Christians and Muslims, how did...

I was watching videos on various pagan traditions and there was a whole series of videos from different content creators on their matron and patron deities. People were more or less talking about having mother and father figure deities. They also talked about how they came to those deities as...
The God of Judaism is more or less the inspiration or supposed to be the same god the Christians and muslims worship. See here is the thing that gets me about that. Why would God randomly start new religions?
Why is Christianity so different to Judaism?
Why would god allow 3 new religions to...
I've gotten so tired of not hearing arguments from muslims when I talk to them. Or at least arguments that aren't just straight up propaganda that anyone with eyes could easily see through so here. Please Muslims try to demonstrate that Islam is true .
Don't just say "Muhammad was such a good...

My intention is to read through the entire Christian bible in either 7 or 10 days. I...
What I mean is could someone like me who doesn't believe in any sort of supernatural entity whether it be a ghost or God gain faith by praying? How exactly would that work?
I've gathered together some interesting programs and literature for those interested in interfaith discussion or seekers looking for a bit more information on religions in the world.
This is a series called extreme pilgrim, it's about an Anglican priest in the church experiencing three...
What arguments do you believe point to there being a God or gods and why do you think this makes more sense than the idea that there are no gods? I am personally a non-believer but I would greatly like to hear arguments against this position and possibly find a religion that at least makes...
