Peace Be Upon You.
So let's suppose that what Darwin said was right, Humanity has evolved from Apes, somehow it was proven scientifically that Apes were the origins of a creature that can think, understand, express his thoughts, have consciousness and choose his path in life, but then, does...
While I am a big fan of the Christian community, it nourishes me every day...
not everthing is as good as it should be, I think.
These days I see it as a fashion among Christians to bash homosexuals and call them "perverts" and "wicked". At least some do and the rest sometimes stays silent when...
Question to Christians:
Question #1
According to Christianity, if Jews living in the land of Israel during the 2nd Temple period, in the midst of the Roman occupation, had accepted Jesus as the Christian concept of messiah, what would have happened?
Moments after?
Five years after?
Etc...
Hello all.
"The LORD spoke further to Ahaz: “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, anywhere down to Sheol or up to the sky.” But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask, and I will not test the LORD.” “Listen, House of David,” [Isaiah] retorted, “is it not enough for you to treat men as helpless that...
Why the fall of Christianity? The status quo of the US was Christianity.
HISTORIC record:
1962 - Engel v. Vitale: removal of prayer in public schools by "supreme court".
1963 - Abington School District v. Schempp: removal of Bible reading in public schools by the "supreme court".
1973 - Roe...
I'm trying to better understand the concept of religious syncretism. The term is often used pejoratively where adherents of one faith are accused of blending two incompatible religious ideologies.
Christianity for example is founded on the Teachings of Christ as recorded in the four Gospel...
There have been several threads recently where questons have come up as to:
Why do Torah based Jews not accept Chrisitian scriptual interpretation?
Why do Torah based Jews not Jesus as a/the Messiah?
Why is there a divide between "Judaism" and "Christianity?"
It is hope that in this post these...
While I was raised knowing that the spread of Christianity helped popularize the notion of Monotheism, more recently I've wondered whether the Christian God is the same as the Jewish God. Setting aside the question of whether or not the Christian deity has a triune nature or if Jesus is god - if...
In Judaism, prophecy is believed to have ended after Malachi and is set to come back during the messianic era (never mind the reasons now).
From what I've gathered, Christians believe that prophecy never ended. Jesus, for example, is considered, among other things, a prophet. Maybe also John...
Psalm 119 is considered by Jews to be a psalm entirely about the love of Torah, that is, the divine law. Clearly the Psalmist, who some say is David (though it is anonymously written), was very much enthralled with the law of God. While not that many Jews may remember the entire chapter by...
Oh yes we keep hearing about the Sola Scriptura heresy all the time like little bombs in conversation. This is a division of thought in many many religions but the phrase "Sola Scriptura" directly reminds the Christian-Lutheran position and the opposing institutionalised elders.
The irony is...
Why is it that American Christian fundamentalists are always demanding that people live under a Christian theocracy? This seems to be an idea that's largely confined to the US, as despite being literally ruled by churches and Christian monarchs for over thousand years, the idea of a Christian...
This question is for all those who claim to be Christian, who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus using the New Testament. So it includes, Catholics, Protestants, JW's etc. This excludes those who belong to religions that claim to supercede Christianity, such as muslims and Baha'i, as the...
If Christians make up 1% of India's population that means there is 13 million Christians in India which is a pretty sizeable amount.
Are these practising Christians? If they are then do you think there are more practising Christians than UK, France or Germany?
Are there any famous Indian...
TOP 10 CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE
My findings:
1. God doesn't tempt any man; James 1:13. But God tempts the man named Abraham; Genesis 22:1. (KJV)
2. Abstain from all evil; 1 thessalonians 5:22 and there is no darkness in God; 1 john 1:5. But then I must abstain from God because he is the...
*A Samarian YHWH/Yahweh from 325 B.C on a Drachm coin.*
First, let's establish this very fact to avoid confusion:
The LORD = "all caps" a reference for the Hebrew name of God himself in the Old Testament which is YHWH/Yahweh, using the tetragrammaton. The reason why the bible does not use...
In the last couple of years of my surfing forums and engaging online with people of different religions, I've come to realize that not only are there literally tens of thousands of Christian denominations, but many - if not most of those denominations - appear to deny the Christianity of other...
"THE BIBLE IS INSPIRED BY GOD"
Emphasis: Deuteronomy 32:15-18, Psalms 78:58-59; God gets jealous and angry when his own people start worshipping other gods, just like in the human sense, A person can get jealous and angry when their fiancée kisses her close "guy friend" and pays no attention...
A quick guide for exposing both religions. This one is easier to do than you think. All you have to do is first read both the Christian Bible and Qur'an to get a general idea of why both religions don't agree with each other's belief systems 100% of the way. Hence, different religions. Okay, so...
