    It's true we should not allow them to be alive.

    I don't read anything about homosexuality in the scripture reference above. Paul had no problems dealing with himself.
    It looks like someone is preoccupied with someone else and by the time they change they'll lose interest in they said meant or felt.
  • Qhan atif on Song of Solomon 5 - 13 years ago
    Prophet muhammed(pbuh) name is taken in bible to explain that God is sending his last messenger to the mankind, for its benefit we muslims believe that bible, tourah, zuboor, are the authentic books and jesus was a messenger of god but not the son, Abraham(as) was also a messenger of god but the last messenger from the god is Prophet muhammed.......
  • Caro on 1 Corinthians 13 - 13 years ago
    Listen to the modern translations and then this, where the beauty of the language and 'charitie' transcend the common-and-garden word 'love' and lift the heart and soul above the recent platitudes.

    Analysis of Deuteronomy 18: 18

     

    We read the following words addressed to Moses in the Book of Deuteronomy Chapter 18: verse 18:

    "I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee ; and I will put my words in his mouth." ( Deuteronomy 18: 18)

    “A prophet from among their brethren” means from the brethren of the Jews, meaning the Arabs. Abraham had two sons. His first born son was Ishmael (from whom the Arabs descend) and a his second born son is Isaac (from whom Jews descend).

    “Like unto thee” means the expected prophet will be like Moses. Jesus is not like Moses, but Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  is like Moses.

     

    Comparison between Moses, Muhammad and Jesus (Peace be upon them)

    Comparison Title

    Moses

    Muhammad

    صلى الله عليه وسلم

    Jesus

    1. Father and Mother Moses had a father and a mother. Muhammad also had a father and a mother. But Jesus had only a mother, and no human father.
    2. Birth Moses was born in the normal, natural course, i.e. by the physical association of man and woman. Muhammad was born in the normal, natural course, i.e. by the physical association of man and woman. But Jesus was created by a special miracle.
    3. Marriage Moses married and begot children. Muhammad also married and begot children. But Jesus remained a bachelor all his life.
    4. People's Acceptance Moses was accepted as a prophet by his people.
    No doubt the Jews gave endless trouble to Moses and they murmured in the wilderness, but as a nation, as a whole, they acknowledged that Moses was a Messenger of God sent to them.

    Muhammad was also accepted as a prophet by his people.
    The Arabs of Mecca persecuted prophet Mohammad & his followers and he had to flee from the city of Mecca to Medina. However, by the time of his death, the Arab nation as a whole had accepted him as a Messenger of God.

    But according to the Bible-
    "He (Jesus) came unto his own, but his own received him not"
    ( John 1:11).
    And even today, after more than two thousand years, Jesus' people (the Jews) still do not recognize him as a Messiah.

    5. "Other-Worldly" Kingdom (the power or prerogative of inflicting capital punishment) Moses was a prophet as well as a king. Moses possessed the power of inflicting capital punishment. For example, the Israelite who was found picking up firewood on the Sabbath Day, Moses had him stoned to death. There are other crimes also mentioned in the Bible for which capital punishment was inflicted on the Jews at the behest of Moses  Muhammad was also a prophet as well as the head of the Islamic State.
     

    Jesus claimed a spiritual kingdom only; in other words he only claimed to be a prophet. When Jesus was dragged before the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, charged for sedition, Jesus made a convincing point in his defence to refute the false charges: Jesus answered, "'My kingdom is not of this world': If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence". ( John 18:36)
    6. New Laws Moses brought new laws and new regulation to his people. Moses not only gave the Ten Commandments to the Israelites, but a very comprehensive ceremonial law for the guidance of his people. Muhammad also brought new laws and new regulations to his people based on the Quran.
    He came to a people steeped in barbarism and ignorance. They married their step-mothers; they buried their daughters alive; drunkenness, adultery, idolatry and gambling were the order of the day.

    From this abject barbarism, Muhammad elevated them, into torch-bearers of light and learning. Muhammad gave his people a Law and Order they never had before.

    As regards Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of him that he might be an imposter with designs to pervert their teachings, Jesus took pains to assure them that he had not come with a new religion-no new laws and no new regulations. Jesus said: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled". ( Matthew 5:17-18).
    7. Departure Moses died a natural death. Muhammad also died a natural death. But according to Christianity, Jesus was violently killed on the cross.
    8. Final Abode Moses lies buried in earth. Muhammad also lies buried in earth. But according to the Christians, Jesus rests in heaven.
     

    “I will put my words in his mouth" describes perfectly how Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  received revelation of the exact words of God in the form of the verses of the Quran. Whereas the Gospel was inspired by God, but not the exact/literal word of God.

    If this verse does not apply to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , the prophecy in this verse will be unfulfilled. Prophet Jesus himself never claimed to be the Prophet alluded to in this verse. Even his disciples were of the same opinion: they looked to the second coming of Jesus for the fulfillment of this prophecy ( Acts 3: 17-24). So far it is undisputed that the first coming of Jesus was not the advent of this anticipated prophet and his second advent can hardly fulfill the prophecy. Jesus, as is believed by his Church, will appear as a Judge and not as a law-giver; but the promised one has to come with a "fiery law" in "his right hand."

    Muhammad Asad (formerly known as Leopold Weiss), a Jewish scholar who converted to Islam said:

    The 'brethren' of the children of Israel are obviously the Arabs, and particularly the Musta'ribah ('Arabianized') group among them, which traces its descent to Ishmael and Abraham: and since it is this group that the Arabian Prophet's own tribe, the Quraish, belonged, the above biblical passages must be taken as referring to his advent."

     
  • Ali on Genesis 22:2 - 13 years ago
    why to get rid of facts people???? with all my respect... I say..

    First: There is no "JUST" GOD that make a covenant with one of his best prophets on earth (all prophets are blessed and equal in my opinion)and this prophet have a boy from a "concubine"!!! why this disrespect for the prophets??? Hagar was his WIFE.. and prophets do nothing from their own will... they obey GOD almighty in every single step of there life. Prophets are sent to mankind to stop and prevent people from committing unrighteous acts such as steeling and adultery.. and bible comes and tells that the prophets of GOD committed these acts. this is not right. its all added information in the bible.

    Second: if you tell me that Isaac was his only Son.. I will say.. this is not true.. it is against the fact!!!!!.. Ishmael was alive eating and walking in the world. this is a very cheap try from Jews and Christians to exclude Muslims from the equation.

    Three: Sara hated Hagar and her son.. do you think GOD will really support Sara and command his prophet to send his own wife and son to exile with only a piece of bread?????? this is not the Mercy-full GOD that we all know about.. GOD will not and didn't ever ever said to anyone "not right" that he is right. I think he commanded Abraham to take Hagar and her son to the deserts because it was GOD's plan to prepare them for something BIG.

    4- ISHMAEL means GOD hears. hears what???? that he was thirsty!!!!! come on lets not be silly... God commanded Hagar to name him this name because he (GOD) heard his fathers prays asking for a son to inherit him after his death.

    5- according to that time laws, the elder son takes his fathers place... why only this time you are telling people that it wasn't ISHMAEL.

    6- OK, this is what I want to say in conclusion... although I am not an ARAB, the ARABS are the sons of ABRAHAM. it is a FACT. wither you like it or not... it is a fact... i keep saying it is a fact because when you say something is a fact you cant argue about it anymore and if you tried to do so, then you are trying to be biased... so stop being biased.. it is a religion thing we are discussing here not a tribal law.

    the BIG thing that I mentioned is this.. MUHAMMAD is the last prophet from GOD the he sent to all human kind.. he didn't deny any of the previous religions... he is mentioned in the bible.. in the Torah... for example you can look for him in the Song of Songs. and please... I beg you brothers.. see this video:

    in youtube, search for (The absolute truth about Muhammad in the Bible!)

    Finally I say.. I wish a day will come that all of us are united under one faith (we already all of us worship GOD each one on his own way). I wish there will be peace on earth as it was in the beginning... I love GOD.. I love Moses... I love Jesus... I love Muhammad.. all of them equally...

    May peace be upon every mankind..
  • James Ryan on Luke 19 - 13 years ago
    Jay's comments are interesting, thoughtful and individualistic. I note his use of the the word 'that' instead of the word 'who' in contexts where he is referring to people. Perhaps this is an example of 'American English'. For example he writes, "saints that", and "Christians that"; I believe it is better to write "saints who", and "Christians who".
    When it comes to clarity of expression, I believe that British English is usually better than American English.
  • Alan22 on Genesis 1 - 13 years ago
    This is incomplete, where is verse 32?
  • Siddiq on Ezekiel 18 - 13 years ago
    This is a chapter from the Old Testament, the Law that Jesus came to fulfill (Mathew 5:17). Nowhere does it say in this chapter that taking Jesus for God and savior is salvation. So why do Christians preach this. Especially since this idea was propagated only by Paul who the disciples of Jesus have consistently called a false prophet. And who has no witness that Jesus ever taught him. And who was an obvious enemy of Christianity.

  • Tanveer ahmad on Isaiah 29:12 - 13 years ago
    It is clear prophesy about Prophet Muhammad. Because when the angel Gabriel first approached him, he said I am not learned. So he is only fulfilling criteria for this prophesy.

  • Forrest on Psalms 46 - 13 years ago
    re:YAY123's comment. also I have been told that Psa 46 is on page 666 of the original KJV if you subtract the blank and informational pages. I have not verified it, but I have verified that Psa 46 is 666 chapters from the end of Revelation. Count them. Also from speare to the beginning word "God" is 157 words, also from shake to the end of the chapter, excluding Selah, is 157 words. Search internet for "Secret Shakespeare Seal 157. Very interesting.

  • Really People?!? on Leviticus 18:22 - 13 years ago
    Wow, just wow. Perhaps one should read the ENTIRE bible before leaving comments on one verse of it. I'm not judging, I'm just saying... Did any one of you realize that this whole chapter is written specifically to the Israelites? And that at the time their population was scarce, and their people were at war? Did you read the rest of the things this chapter and the next one forbids, like rounding the corners of a haircut, or trimming your beard? And Finally to Jessica, I hope that you and your family will still love and support your brother. The Bible's main gist (especially the New Testament) is all about love and acceptance, with the rest being sorted out at the end by the only one true authority. As an afterthought... I'm not sure if your brother truly "wants to be gay". If you yourself are "straight," do you think you could "want" to be gay and that it would work? He probably has felt different his whole life, like something was always wrong with him. He may not have even understood it at first, and then when he figured it out, he was probably just as confused and afraid as you and your family feel right now... he's just had more time to deal with it. Can you imagine the courage it must have taken for him to tell you and your family about it, knowing that it was thought to be wrong? I truly wish you and your family the best, and hope that this issue does not alienate anyone in your family; which has regretfully happened in so many others.
  • Dawn Queen on Leviticus 19:28 - 13 years ago
    It sounds rather straightforward that our bodies are not to be used in mourning rituals. I don't think tattoos not involved with mourning are forbidden.
  • Irfan Afridi on Isaiah 29 - 13 years ago
    this verse is self explanatory and is about the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)
    even the Christians deny the Jesus (peace be upon him)while performing live merciless."For I have come to you in my Father's name, and you have rejected me ( John 5:43)" for such peoples(Christians and Jews)it is mentioned in the bible

    "...seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.(Mathew 13:13)"
    and The Holy Quran also contains a verse which fittingly describes this
    "THE DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND, THEY WILL NOT RETURN TO THE TRUE PATH.(Holy Quran 3:47)"

  • Protective mommy on Proverbs 23:14 - 13 years ago
    My ex husband is a sociopath. He beat, bruised and almost murdered me and my children quoting scripture like this. He had us brainwashed as we believed in God, so he could use God and the devil to commit his abuse and crimes to us. We lived 16 years in hell, living with being beaten and abused. Then when we escaped, other male supreme religious extremist helped him destroy and punish us and he is tracking us down like animals. We have to flee our country. Men use God to abuse, and quotes like this were made from male groups, NOT a loving God. The bible re worded from MEN is not Gods word. God is love, not abuse beating women and children. That is Satan and America is falling to hell, taking words out to murder and oppress his children. We are lucky to be alive and these men kill and use God to do it.

  • Rob on Leviticus 18:22 - 13 years ago
    God made me. So I was taught. I am a man. And I only have LOVE. For another man. I wouldn't choose to be this way as life has proven difficult. I can only be true to myself and would never desire to be with a woman. That would be living a lie. Which I believe would be a bigger sin than homosexuality itself. I am of this opinion. I feel blessed by god in my life. I know he is with me as he answers my prayers. I wish the world could rise above the difficulties of organised religion. We are all creatures of god. I look for the good in everyone I meet and treat people as I would like to be treated with respect. Don't use the bible to turn your back on your neighbour. In my eyes, Everybody is equal and we all deserve Love in our life.
  • Concena on Genesis 10 - 13 years ago
    god is good
  • Insight 777 on Isaiah 6 - 13 years ago
    Verse 4, Isaiah watches a fighter jet open the doors at the bottom and release a missile that hits a house and fills it with smoke.
    This makes the reality of Gods wrath clear to Isaiah. He sees a battle and knows for fact it is real. He fears that he and his people are sinful and not good enough to escape this destruction.
    Verse 6 is interesting, I think a pilot landed near Isaiah. Isaiah was taken into the cockpit. The "live coal" from the altar(dash) of the plane is the communication device pilots use to talk with each other. The pilot puts it to Isaiahs mouth and ears. In this way God shows Isaiah that he is worthy to communicate Gods word, is forgiven of sins and is a chosen prophet of God. Verse 8, Isaiah volunteers to tell people the truth of what he has just seen.
    People will read the Bible and not understand its meaning unless they are willing to
    "see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed."
    It is difficult to grasp the reality of WW3 seen through the eyes and heard from the ears of a man that lived in the 8th-century BC. It is easier for people today who can look at fighter jet photos and listen to the actual news that is leading up to WW3. Isaiah is telling the truth.
    Verse 12 "And the LORD have removed men far away"
    could mean different things. Perhaps a rapture event or it could be men are captured and taken as "slaves" to foreign soil or it could be that men in distant countries have been killed in battle. Possibly it means people are scattered into distant lands to flee battle areas.
  • Jackie on Acts 20:7 - 13 years ago
    Dear Brother,

    It is absolutely clear in Mat. 28:1, Mk.16:2, Lk.24:1, Jh. 20:1 that our savior 's tomb was found empty on the "first[day] of the week". However in all honesty there is no mention of HIS resurrection in these vs. it has to be assumed.

    As for Rev. 1:10 this is the only place you can find the phrase "Lord's Day" in GOD'S word and there is no indication of what day of the week this is. This also has to be assumed.

    Based on the fact that GOD'S days are from sunset till sunset this could only have been a havdalah meeting on Saturday evening.

    Sunset on Sunday starts GOD'S second day of the week.

    GOD Bless,
